1
00:00:02,176 --> 00:00:05,979
For centuries mankind
believed that life only

2
00:00:06,013 --> 00:00:11,651
existed here on Earth, but today
many scientists agree that we

3
00:00:11,719 --> 00:00:13,520
are not alone.

4
00:00:13,554 --> 00:00:16,790
Practically every human
civilization that

5
00:00:16,824 --> 00:00:23,964
has ever existed tells us we
are not alone in the cosmos.

6
00:00:23,965 --> 00:00:28,301
A long, long time ago,
extraterrestrials

7
00:00:28,336 --> 00:00:34,174
came here, and through a
targeted mutation of our genes,

8
00:00:34,241 --> 00:00:35,508
we became human.

9
00:00:35,576 --> 00:00:40,447
We have, in theory, a
worldwide civilization

10
00:00:40,481 --> 00:00:45,785
that has extraterrestrials
interacting with it, and human

11
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:50,423
beings, as we are today, who are
possibly the genetic breeding of

12
00:00:50,458 --> 00:00:51,624
these aliens.

13
00:00:51,659 --> 00:00:57,630
If we're being visited, they've
probably always been here.

14
00:00:57,698 --> 00:01:01,501
Millions of people around
the world believe we have

15
00:01:01,535 --> 00:01:05,805
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.

16
00:01:05,873 --> 00:01:08,441
But what if it were true?

17
00:01:08,509 --> 00:01:12,812
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,183
And if so, why did they come here?

19
00:01:17,251 --> 00:01:20,887
And just what was their mission?

20

21
00:01:56,657 --> 00:02:04,464
On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11
mission reached its destination,

22
00:02:04,532 --> 00:02:09,636
and two men-- Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin-- actually walked on

23
00:02:09,704 --> 00:02:11,171
the moon.

24
00:02:11,205 --> 00:02:13,640
They've got the flag up now,
and you can see the Stars and

25
00:02:13,708 --> 00:02:16,009
Stripes on the lunar surface.

26
00:02:16,043 --> 00:02:17,344
Beautiful, just beautiful.

27
00:02:17,378 --> 00:02:20,747
It was the first time in
history that beings left

28
00:02:20,815 --> 00:02:25,118
their home and traveled through
space to an alien planet.

29
00:02:25,152 --> 00:02:27,354
Or was it?

30
00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:30,190
Were we really the first
creatures in the universe

31
00:02:30,224 --> 00:02:33,894
capable of traveling to another world?

32
00:02:36,397 --> 00:02:40,367
Given the vastness of the
universe and the billions of

33
00:02:40,401 --> 00:02:45,772
years that it took to create our
galaxy, is it so hard to imagine

34
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:50,844
that such a thing might have
happened before, perhaps

35
00:02:50,912 --> 00:02:56,249
thousands of times and over the
course of millions of years?

36
00:02:56,250 --> 00:03:03,857
The ancient alien astronaut theory
presupposes that thousands and

37
00:03:03,925 --> 00:03:08,662
thousands of years ago-- even
before recorded history-- Earth

38
00:03:08,696 --> 00:03:12,832
was visited by astronauts
from another world.

39
00:03:12,833 --> 00:03:19,539
But if alien beings did, in
fact, travel to Earth, why?

40
00:03:19,573 --> 00:03:29,215
Did they come to explore, to plunder,
to study, to hunt, or to breed?

41
00:03:29,283 --> 00:03:31,751
When Armstrong and Aldrin
explored their incredible

44
00:03:40,127 --> 00:03:44,130
and dust.

45
00:03:44,198 --> 00:03:48,902
But in 1986, further testing
determined that the lunar

46
00:03:48,936 --> 00:03:54,007
landscape actually contains a
high amount of helium-3, an

47
00:03:54,041 --> 00:04:00,013
extremely powerful nonpolluting,
nonradioactive fuel source.

48
00:04:01,716 --> 00:04:05,118
Experts estimate that a single
space shuttle filled with this

49
00:04:05,152 --> 00:04:08,488
material could satisfy all the
energy needs in the United

50
00:04:08,556 --> 00:04:12,025
States for an entire year.

51
00:04:13,794 --> 00:04:15,762
Think of it.

52
00:04:15,796 --> 00:04:20,200
Armadas of spaceships mining
the moon and other planets for

53
00:04:20,234 --> 00:04:22,602
natural resources.

54
00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:25,772
Could this help explain why
Earth might have served as a

55
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:28,842
destination for travelers
from other worlds?

56
00:04:28,876 --> 00:04:33,013
We'd go out there with
robot mining crews and

57
00:04:33,047 --> 00:04:38,485
eventually human mining crews, mine
those planets, extract the ore.

58
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:41,955
Ships would come; they'd take
the ore and bring them back.

59
00:04:41,989 --> 00:04:48,061
Well, if we would do it, why
wouldn't extraterrestrials?

60
00:04:48,095 --> 00:04:51,898
But if alien excavators
did come to Earth--

61
00:04:51,932 --> 00:04:57,470
perhaps thousands of years ago--
wouldn't there be evidence?

62
00:04:59,607 --> 00:05:03,910
Here, in what is now known as
Iraq, lies what is commonly

63
00:05:03,944 --> 00:05:07,747
regarded by historians and
archaeologists as the "cradle of

64
00:05:07,815 --> 00:05:09,482
civilization."

65
00:05:09,550 --> 00:05:15,355
Between 3500 and 1900 BC, the
fertile area between the Tigris

66
00:05:15,389 --> 00:05:19,092
and Euphrates Rivers was the
home of the Sumerian people.

67
00:05:19,093 --> 00:05:22,262
The Sumeriyns were one of
the first cultures that

68
00:05:22,296 --> 00:05:28,001
built actual cities with streets
and a street grid, almost like

69
00:05:28,035 --> 00:05:31,604
New York City, where you have,
you know, a square street grid.

70
00:05:31,605 --> 00:05:35,508
They invented cobblestones.

71
00:05:35,543 --> 00:05:38,545
They had a sewage system.

72
00:05:38,579 --> 00:05:43,083
They were taught in agriculture.

73
00:05:43,117 --> 00:05:46,519
The Sumerians also invented
the first known writing

74
00:05:46,554 --> 00:05:51,191
system by using cuneiform
script on clay tablets.

75
00:05:51,225 --> 00:05:54,928
In the 19th century,
archeologists exploring the

76
00:05:54,995 --> 00:06:00,700
ancient ruins of Nineveh discovered
22,000 of these clay tablets.

77
00:06:00,734 --> 00:06:04,704
When they were later translated,
the texts described many stories

78
00:06:04,772 --> 00:06:08,341
similar to those found in
the Judeo-Christian Bible.

79
00:06:08,342 --> 00:06:12,345
Virtually every story
that's in Genesis--

80
00:06:12,413 --> 00:06:15,715
the flood story, the Adam and
Eve story-- they all have

81
00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:19,519
precedence with the ancient Sumerians.

82
00:06:21,822 --> 00:06:26,359
In 1976 author Zecharia
Sitchin published his

83
00:06:26,427 --> 00:06:29,896
own translations of the Sumerian
texts in a series of books

84
00:06:29,930 --> 00:06:33,266
<i>called The Earth Chronicles.</i>

85
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:35,268
<i>According to Sitchin, the clay</i>

86
00:06:35,302 --> 00:06:37,604
<i>tablets describe an alien race</i>

87
00:06:37,638 --> 00:06:39,706
<i>known as the Anunnaki who came</i>

88
00:06:39,773 --> 00:06:43,776
<i>to Earth to mine gold.</i>

89
00:06:43,811 --> 00:06:45,011
<i>Zecharia Sitchin</i>

90
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:46,813
<i>has essentially suggested that</i>

91
00:06:46,847 --> 00:06:48,615
<i>the reason why we were visited</i>

92
00:06:48,649 --> 00:06:51,618
<i>in the remote past is because</i>

93
00:06:51,652 --> 00:06:52,919
<i>the ancient astronauts' home</i>

94
00:06:52,987 --> 00:06:56,055
<i>planet needed gold for their</i>

95
00:06:56,090 --> 00:06:57,891
<i>atmosphere and that their gold</i>

96
00:06:57,925 --> 00:07:01,294
<i>content in the atmosphere was</i>

97
00:07:01,362 --> 00:07:04,998
<i>depleting, so they came to Earth</i>

98
00:07:05,032 --> 00:07:07,100
<i>in order to mine gold and bring</i>

99
00:07:07,134 --> 00:07:10,637
<i>it back to their home planet.</i>

100
00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:18,545
<i>But why gold?</i>

101
00:07:18,612 --> 00:07:19,812
<i>What are the unique properties</i>

102
00:07:19,847 --> 00:07:21,548
<i>of this precious metal that</i>

103
00:07:21,615 --> 00:07:22,749
<i>might make it important and</i>

104
00:07:22,783 --> 00:07:23,816
<i>worth traveling through the</i>

105
00:07:23,851 --> 00:07:27,754
<i>galaxy for?</i>

106
00:07:27,788 --> 00:07:29,822
<i>I think, for</i>

107
00:07:29,857 --> 00:07:31,291
<i>extraterrestrials, gold would</i>

108
00:07:31,358 --> 00:07:32,559
<i>be an important resource just</i>

109
00:07:32,626 --> 00:07:34,627
<i>like it is for us.</i>

110
00:07:34,628 --> 00:07:36,563
<i>If it's at all like our society,</i>

111
00:07:36,630 --> 00:07:37,764
<i>one of the major things it's</i>

112
00:07:37,798 --> 00:07:38,831
<i>going to be built on is</i>

113
00:07:38,866 --> 00:07:40,567
<i>electricity, and gold really is</i>

114
00:07:40,634 --> 00:07:42,302
<i>one of the top conductors, and</i>

115
00:07:42,369 --> 00:07:43,937
<i>its malleability and its ability</i>

116
00:07:44,004 --> 00:07:46,306
<i>to make it into wires, use it in</i>

117
00:07:46,373 --> 00:07:47,373
<i>really small forms as</i>

118
00:07:47,408 --> 00:07:48,675
<i>nanoparticles is going to make</i>

119
00:07:48,709 --> 00:07:50,009
<i>it an incredible technological</i>

120
00:07:50,044 --> 00:07:52,478
<i>resource for any sort of life-</i>

121
00:07:52,513 --> 00:07:53,947
<i>forms that reach that level of</i>

122
00:07:53,981 --> 00:07:55,181
<i>dealing with electricity and</i>

123
00:07:55,216 --> 00:07:58,384
<i>technology as we do.</i>

124
00:07:58,419 --> 00:08:00,587
<i>One of the exciting directions</i>

125
00:08:00,654 --> 00:08:03,223
<i>is possibly as an energy source</i>

126
00:08:03,257 --> 00:08:04,490
<i>through properties called</i>

127
00:08:04,525 --> 00:08:05,858
<i>thermoelectric effects, where it</i>

128
00:08:05,893 --> 00:08:07,293
<i>can take heat and turn it</i>

129
00:08:07,328 --> 00:08:09,028
<i>directly into electricity.</i>

130
00:08:09,063 --> 00:08:10,763
<i>This would be obviously a very</i>

131
00:08:10,831 --> 00:08:13,132
<i>nice clean energy source.</i>

132
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:14,767
<i>With its capacity</i>

133
00:08:14,835 --> 00:08:16,469
<i>to create energy and conduct</i>

134
00:08:16,503 --> 00:08:19,005
<i>heat, some scientists believe</i>

135
00:08:19,039 --> 00:08:21,407
<i>gold may also be an invaluable</i>

136
00:08:21,442 --> 00:08:23,009
<i>asset in the construction of</i>

137
00:08:23,043 --> 00:08:24,210
<i>spaceships.</i>

138
00:08:24,245 --> 00:08:25,511
<i>Gold actually</i>

139
00:08:25,546 --> 00:08:27,313
<i>reflects infrared light.</i>

140
00:08:27,381 --> 00:08:30,416
<i>Infrared is basically light</i>

141
00:08:30,451 --> 00:08:32,652
<i>that's not quite red, and so you</i>

142
00:08:32,686 --> 00:08:34,220
<i>don't see it, but we interact</i>

143
00:08:34,255 --> 00:08:35,688
<i>with it as heat.</i>

144
00:08:35,723 --> 00:08:37,056
<i>The radiation will interact with</i>

145
00:08:37,091 --> 00:08:38,324
<i>your molecules and make them</i>

146
00:08:38,359 --> 00:08:39,659
<i>vibrate faster and you'll feel</i>

147
00:08:39,693 --> 00:08:41,027
<i>that as heat, so it makes a</i>

148
00:08:41,061 --> 00:08:42,495
<i>great heat shield, partly</i>

149
00:08:42,529 --> 00:08:43,763
<i>because it's so malleable.</i>

150
00:08:43,797 --> 00:08:45,231
<i>You can make it very thin; it's</i>

151
00:08:45,266 --> 00:08:46,499
<i>easy to work with; and it has</i>

152
00:08:46,533 --> 00:08:47,867
<i>great properties for reflecting</i>

153
00:08:47,901 --> 00:08:50,436
<i>and heat protection.</i>

154
00:08:52,573 --> 00:08:54,507
<i>The only metal</i>

155
00:08:54,575 --> 00:08:56,876
<i>that really lasts is gold.</i>

156
00:08:56,910 --> 00:08:59,078
<i>Gold is indestructible.</i>

157
00:08:59,113 --> 00:09:01,347
<i>All gold from ancient times</i>

158
00:09:01,415 --> 00:09:04,083
<i>still exists today.</i>

159
00:09:04,151 --> 00:09:06,686
<i>If you look at</i>

160
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,354
<i>Zecharia Sitchin's theories--</i>

161

<i>that E.T.s came down from</i>

162

00:09:12,126 --> 00:09:14,527
<i>system, which is on a 3,600-year</i>

164
00:09:14,561 --> 00:09:16,429
<i>elliptical orbit, that they were</i>

165
00:09:16,497 --> 00:09:18,364
<i>running out of minerals, and</i>

166
00:09:18,432 --> 00:09:19,799
<i>gold specifically, that they</i>

167
00:09:19,833 --> 00:09:22,068
<i>somehow needed to line their</i>

00:09:22,102 --> 00:09:24,971
<i>atmosphere with.</i>

169
00:09:25,005 --> 00:09:26,706
<i>These</i>

170
00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:28,274
<i>extraterrestrials-- they just</i>

171
00:09:28,342 --> 00:09:30,076
<i>first measure our planet.</i>

172
00:09:30,144 --> 00:09:31,344
<i>And they have the instrument to</i>

173
00:09:31,378 --> 00:09:34,080
<i>find out: where on this planet</i>

174
00:09:34,114 --> 00:09:36,783
<i>do we find raw material?</i>

175
00:09:36,817 --> 00:09:38,051
<i>Through their</i>

176
00:09:38,085 --> 00:09:39,986
<i>incredible equipment, they find</i>

177
00:09:40,020 --> 00:09:42,422
<i>a planet that has this.</i>

178
00:09:42,456 --> 00:09:43,790
<i>It's got gold.</i>

179
00:09:43,824 --> 00:09:45,058
<i>So they decide "We're going to</i>

180
00:09:45,092 --> 00:09:45,925
<i>go there and we're going to</i>

181
00:09:45,993 --> 00:09:46,926
<i>mine."</i>

182
00:09:46,994 --> 00:09:49,095
<i>So they send some expeditions to</i>

183
00:09:49,129 --> 00:09:50,330
<i>planet Earth.</i>

184
00:09:50,397 --> 00:09:52,231
<i>All of a sudden they get here</i>

185
00:09:52,266 --> 00:09:54,400
<i>and the factions begin to say,</i>

186
00:09:54,435 --> 00:09:55,702
<i>"Well, there's a lot of gold</i>

187
00:09:55,736 --> 00:09:56,869
<i>here, but we're not digging it</i>

188
00:09:56,937 --> 00:09:57,870
<i>out.</i>

189
00:09:57,938 --> 00:09:59,072
<i>What are we going to do?</i>

190
00:09:59,106 --> 00:10:01,240
<i>We need workers."</i>

191
00:10:01,275 --> 00:10:03,309
<i>The story that came</i>

192
00:10:03,344 --> 00:10:04,877
<i>down to the Sumerians is that</i>

193
00:10:04,945 --> 00:10:08,247
<i>the Anunnaki were mining gold</i>

194
00:10:08,282 --> 00:10:11,217
<i>on the earth, and the run-of-</i>

195
00:10:11,251 --> 00:10:12,952
<i>the-mill workers complained,</i>

196
00:10:12,986 --> 00:10:14,420
<i>said, "This is really hard work</i>

197
00:10:14,488 --> 00:10:15,722
<i>and we're tired.</i>

198
00:10:15,756 --> 00:10:16,956
<i>We don't want to do this</i>

199
00:10:16,990 --> 00:10:17,957
<i>anymore."</i>

200
00:10:17,991 --> 00:10:19,525
<i>And so they had a big council</i>

201
00:10:19,593 --> 00:10:20,893
<i>and they decided to create a</i>

202
00:10:20,928 --> 00:10:22,428
<i>primitive worker called an</i>

203
00:10:22,496 --> 00:10:25,998
<i>Adamu.</i>

204
00:10:26,033 --> 00:10:28,434
<i>So they look at what</i>

205
00:10:28,502 --> 00:10:30,236
<i>is on this planet, and that is</i>

206
00:10:30,270 --> 00:10:31,804
<i>Homo erectus, and they say,</i>

207
00:10:31,839 --> 00:10:33,072
<i>"Well, they're not very</i>

208
00:10:33,107 --> 00:10:34,273
<i>intelligent and they're not</i>

209
00:10:34,341 --> 00:10:36,142
<i>going to listen to us, so we're</i>

210
00:10:36,176 --> 00:10:37,443
<i>going to genetically alter</i>

211
00:10:37,511 --> 00:10:39,178
<i>them."</i>

212
00:10:39,213 --> 00:10:40,980
<i>The Anunnaki created</i>

213
00:10:41,048 --> 00:10:42,515
<i>humans as a slave species.</i>

214
00:10:42,549 --> 00:10:43,783
<i>According to</i>

215
00:10:43,817 --> 00:10:46,252
<i>Zecharia Sitchin, the Adamu</i>

216
00:10:46,286 --> 00:10:48,921
<i>were the first modern humans.</i>

217
00:10:48,989 --> 00:10:50,256
<i>They were created by the</i>

218
00:10:50,290 --> 00:10:53,993
<i>Anunnaki 450,000 years ago when</i>

219
00:10:54,061 --> 00:10:56,195
<i>they genetically mixed their DNA</i>

220
00:10:56,230 --> 00:11:00,433
<i>with that of prehistoric man.</i>

221
00:11:00,467 --> 00:11:01,834
<i>They took one</i>

222
00:11:01,902 --> 00:11:04,003
<i>cell of one of these ancestors</i>

223
00:11:04,071 --> 00:11:04,837
<i>of us.</i>

224
00:11:04,905 --> 00:11:07,106
<i>They changed the cell by an</i>

225
00:11:07,141 --> 00:11:08,608
<i>artificial mutation.</i>

226
00:11:08,642 --> 00:11:10,276
<i>They changed the DNA code, what</i>

227
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:12,545
<i>our genetics are doing every
day.</i>

228
00:11:12,579 --> 00:11:14,280
<i>It's carved in
their stone.</i>

229
00:11:14,314 --> 00:11:16,916
<i>This is not something made up.</i>

230
00:11:16,984 --> 00:11:20,420
<i>This is part of the Sumerian
history.</i>

231
00:11:20,421 --> 00:11:21,888
<i>They believed that the</i>

232
00:11:21,922 --> 00:11:24,290
<i>gods came down and created them,</i>

233
00:11:24,324 --> 00:11:26,826
<i>and they were their slave
species.</i>

234
00:11:26,894 --> 00:11:28,361
<i>They knew that, and they didn't</i>

235
00:11:28,395 --> 00:11:30,196
<i>have any philosophical beliefs</i>

236
00:11:30,264 --> 00:11:32,298
<i>about the purpose of man or</i>

237
00:11:32,332 --> 00:11:33,766
<i>anything.</i>

238
00:11:33,834 --> 00:11:34,767
<i>If you believe</i>

239
00:11:34,835 --> 00:11:37,537
<i>Sitchin's theory that mankind</i>

240
00:11:37,571 --> 00:11:39,939
<i>was created by E.T.s for slave</i>

241
00:11:40,007 --> 00:11:43,810
<i>labor, all of a sudden it makes
sense.</i>

242
00:11:43,844 --> 00:11:44,911
<i>And then when you look at the</i>

243
00:11:44,945 --> 00:11:46,813
<i>biblical terms of what may have</i>

244
00:11:46,847 --> 00:11:48,214
<i>happened-- Adam and Eve?</i>

245
00:11:48,282 --> 00:11:49,816
<i>Sure, they may have been two</i>

246
00:11:49,850 --> 00:11:52,819
<i>individuals back a long time</i>

247
00:11:52,853 --> 00:11:54,821
<i>ago, the beginning of time.</i>

248
00:11:54,855 --> 00:11:56,489
<i>But perhaps Adam and Eve were</i>

249
00:11:56,557 --> 00:11:58,224
<i>the first of the genetically</i>

250
00:11:58,292 --> 00:12:03,396
<i>created human beings.</i>

00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:04,931
<i>Closer comparisons</i>

<i>between the Hebrew Bible and</i>

253

<i>the Sumerian texts reveal many</i>

254
00:12:08,902 --> 00:12:11,571
<i>similarities, not only in their</i>

255
00:12:11,605 --> 00:12:13,406
<i>stories, but also in their</i>

256

<i>language.</i>

257
00:12:14,875 --> 00:12:17,510
<i>"Adam" is Hebrew for "man."</i>

258
00:12:17,544 --> 00:12:19,679
<i>"Adamu" is what the Sumerians</i>

259
00:12:19,713 --> 00:12:22,014
<i>refer to as "first man," the</i>

260

<i>Anunnaki slaves.</i>

261
00:12:24,284 --> 00:12:25,952
<i>But do the Sumerian tablets</i>

262
00:12:25,986 --> 00:12:28,988
<i>actually describe an alien race,</i>

263
00:12:29,022 --> 00:12:30,823
<i>a race that conducted mining</i>

264
00:12:30,891 --> 00:12:33,826
<i>operations on a global scale?</i>

00:12:33,861 --> 00:12:36,095
<i>* *</i>

00:12:38,365 --> 00:12:40,199
<i>Thousands of miles away, on</i>

267
00:12:40,234 --> 00:12:42,468
<i>the African continent, ruins of</i>

268
00:12:42,536 --> 00:12:44,570
<i>ancient gold mines have recently</i>

00:12:44,638 --> 00:12:46,672
<i>been discovered.</i>

270
00:12:46,707 --> 00:12:48,407
<i>The largest concentration can</i>

271
00:12:48,475 --> 00:12:50,910
<i>be found in South Africa, where</i>

<i>some excavations, according to</i>

273
00:12:53,113 --> 00:12:55,114
<i>scientists, date back some</i>

274
00:12:55,148 --> 00:12:57,583
<i>150,000 years.</i>

275
00:12:57,584 --> 00:12:58,918
<i>They're in areas that</i>

276
00:12:58,952 --> 00:13:00,853
<i>have an abundance of gold right</i>

277
00:13:00,888 --> 00:13:03,089
<i>now, so it's very possible that</i>

278
00:13:03,123 --> 00:13:04,190
<i>they could have mined it.</i>

279
00:13:04,224 --> 00:13:05,591
<i>Now, the big question is, how</i>

280
00:13:05,626 --> 00:13:06,859
<i>do we know they weren't human</i>

281
00:13:06,894 --> 00:13:08,494
<i>beings that simply did that?</i>

282
00:13:08,562 --> 00:13:11,597
<i>Why the E.T. theory?</i>

283
00:13:11,665 --> 00:13:13,099
<i>In many languages</i>

284
00:13:13,133 --> 00:13:15,201
<i>in Africa, the native word for</i>

285
00:13:15,235 --> 00:13:16,869
<i>"star" means "bringer of</i>

<i>knowledge or enlightenment."</i>

287
00:13:18,939 --> 00:13:20,740
<i>Some African cultures believe</i>

00:13:20,774 --> 00:13:23,042
<i>that extraterrestrial beings</i>

289
00:13:23,076 --> 00:13:24,944
<i>have been visiting the Earth</i>

290
00:13:24,978 --> 00:13:27,413
<i>for tens of thousands of years.</i>

291
00:13:27,481 --> 00:13:29,582
<i>Zulu legends speak of a time</i>

292
00:13:29,650 --> 00:13:31,284
<i>when "visitors from the stars"</i>

293
00:13:31,318 --> 00:13:33,219
<i>came to excavate gold and other</i>

<i>natural resources.</i>

295
00:13:35,255 --> 00:13:37,390
<i>These mines were worked by</i>

<i>"artificially produced flesh-</i>

<i>First People."</i>

299
00:13:42,229 --> 00:13:43,930
<i>Some ancient mines</i>

300
00:13:43,997 --> 00:13:45,398
<i>in Southern Africa are thought</i>

00:13:45,465 --> 00:13:47,366
<i>to be a hundred thousand years</i>

302
00:13:47,401 --> 00:13:48,901
<i>old or older.</i>

303

<i>If humans weren't doing that</i>

304
00:13:51,471 --> 00:13:53,105
<i>mining a hundred thousand years</i>

305
00:13:53,173 --> 00:13:54,840
<i>ago, and making metals, then we</i>

306
00:13:54,908 --> 00:13:56,676
<i>would have to assume it would</i>

307
00:13:56,743 --> 00:13:58,578
<i>be extraterrestrials doing it.</i>

308
00:13:58,645 --> 00:14:00,846
<i>Alien slave mines?</i>

309
00:14:00,914 --> 00:14:03,649
<i>Genetically engineered humans?</i>

310
00:14:03,684 --> 00:14:05,284
<i>To believers of ancient</i>

311
00:14:05,319 --> 00:14:07,587
<i>astronaut theory, these notions</i>

312
00:14:07,621 --> 00:14:09,555
<i>are not far-fetched fantasies</i>

313
00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:11,757
<i>or fairy tales, but facts, and</i>

314
00:14:11,792 --> 00:14:13,926
<i>they point to additional</i>

315
00:14:13,961 --> 00:14:15,928
<i>evidence of alien mining a</i>

316
00:14:15,963 --> 00:14:17,964
<i>half world away...</i>

317
00:14:17,998 --> 00:14:20,399
<i>on the American continent.</i>

318
00:14:25,872 --> 00:14:30,142
Peru has long been known
as "the land of gold."

319
00:14:30,210 --> 00:14:34,947
In ancient times, Incan rulers
adorned themselves with it.

320
00:14:35,015 --> 00:14:38,918
And when the Spanish explorers
arrived in the 16th century,

321
00:14:38,952 --> 00:14:44,123
they sent shiploads of their
plunder back home to Spain.

322
00:14:44,191 --> 00:14:46,992
Gold was largely a valuable
commodity because of

323
00:14:47,027 --> 00:14:50,396
being rare and easy to
make jewelry, coinage.

324
00:14:50,397 --> 00:14:53,199
And if you're looking at, like,
the ancient Incas, those people

325
00:14:53,266 --> 00:14:56,202
are using gold as a status symbol.

326
00:14:56,269 --> 00:15:00,105
Many cultures thought it
came directly from the gods.

327
00:15:00,140 --> 00:15:03,843
People thought gold was so pure,
so wonderful, it must heal, and

328
00:15:03,944 --> 00:15:07,479
they would actually
occasionally ingest pure gold.

329
00:15:07,514 --> 00:15:11,684
Certainly, we're discovering
more and more, as we get better

330
00:15:11,718 --> 00:15:14,486
at archaeology and as we can
look into these things,

331
00:15:14,521 --> 00:15:16,188
applications that people have used.

332
00:15:16,223 --> 00:15:18,958
For instance, there is some
evidence that ancient people

333
00:15:19,025 --> 00:15:22,494
had very primitive batteries,
and this would be a place in

334
00:15:22,529 --> 00:15:24,964
which gold would be very useful
because of its electrical

335
00:15:25,031 --> 00:15:28,133
properties and its conductivity.

336
00:15:28,201 --> 00:15:31,036
It should not be
surprising, then, to find

337
00:15:31,137 --> 00:15:34,874
archaeological evidence
of ancient gold mines.

338
00:15:34,975 --> 00:15:38,777
But some sites have recently
been discovered that date back

339
00:15:38,845 --> 00:15:42,214
some 50,000 years.

340
00:15:42,215 --> 00:15:45,684
All throughout areas in
Peru, you see remnants of

341
00:15:45,719 --> 00:15:50,055
what could have been
ancient mining operations.

342
00:15:50,056 --> 00:15:51,390
It's there.

343
00:15:51,424 --> 00:15:54,693
They go down, some cases,
thousands of feet deep.

344
00:15:54,761 --> 00:15:58,063
Gold turns out to be
surprisingly easy to mine for,

345
00:15:58,164 --> 00:16:00,900
even though it's relatively rare.

346
00:16:00,967 --> 00:16:03,903
There's a lot of common
techniques ancient people used,

347
00:16:03,970 --> 00:16:07,239
and some of them were used, you
know, well into recent times.

348
00:16:07,340 --> 00:16:10,075
A lot of it, you know, involves
using water, often, to change

349
00:16:10,176 --> 00:16:12,811
the properties of the rock around it.

350
00:16:12,879 --> 00:16:16,582
A lot of heating and freezing,
and the gold will come loose.

351
00:16:19,753 --> 00:16:23,088
In addition to gold,
other ancient sites in

352
00:16:23,123 --> 00:16:27,993
Peru provide evidence that they
were once mined for quartz...

353
00:16:28,061 --> 00:16:31,363
Hematite...
and red ochre.

354
00:16:31,431 --> 00:16:33,399
They're used for different things.

355
00:16:33,433 --> 00:16:35,067
Quartz is incredibly common.

356
00:16:35,101 --> 00:16:36,702
It's basically silicone dioxide.

357
00:16:36,736 --> 00:16:38,170
It's kind of like glass.

358
00:16:38,238 --> 00:16:40,072
It's a great mineral; it's hard;

359
00:16:40,106 --> 00:16:44,143
But it can be formed into pretty
sculptures; you could make

360
00:16:44,177 --> 00:16:47,980
quartz statues; you could
probably even use it for money

361
00:16:48,014 --> 00:16:51,016
before you discovered
minerals and gold.

362
00:16:51,084 --> 00:16:55,621
Hematite and ochre are much
more valuable because of their

363
00:16:55,655 --> 00:16:58,657
iron oxide.

364
00:16:58,725 --> 00:17:01,360
And particularly ochre is
important as a pigment, so as

365
00:17:01,428 --> 00:17:04,363
soon as you're gonna start
having painting, cave drawings

366
00:17:04,431 --> 00:17:08,000
even, or any sort of art work,
you need to make colors.

367
00:17:08,068 --> 00:17:11,303
And making color can be a
challenge, and ochre is a great

368
00:17:11,371 --> 00:17:15,174
source of that.

369
00:17:15,208 --> 00:17:20,312
Also located in Peru are the
world-famous Nazca lines.

370
00:17:20,347 --> 00:17:23,449
While the origins of these
ancient geoglyphs remain a

371
00:17:23,516 --> 00:17:27,686
mystery, the area in which the
lines are located suggests that

372
00:17:27,721 --> 00:17:31,757
a major excavation took place
there, perhaps hundreds of

373
00:17:31,858 --> 00:17:34,493
centuries ago.

374
00:17:34,494 --> 00:17:38,697
At Nazca, entire mountaintops
have been removed.

375
00:17:38,732 --> 00:17:42,968
I mean, this all requires machining.

376
00:17:43,036 --> 00:17:49,041
And I'm not talking, you know, a
little wheelbarrow and-and a pick.

377
00:17:49,042 --> 00:17:52,778
I'm talking sophisticated
machinery, because we today

378
00:17:52,812 --> 00:17:58,017
would also need sophisticated
machinery in order to achieve

379
00:17:58,084 --> 00:17:59,585
such feats.

380
00:17:59,619 --> 00:18:02,921
Could the vast flat plain
located in the Nazca

381
00:18:03,023 --> 00:18:07,926
Desert be evidence of a
gigantic mining operation, one

382
00:18:08,028 --> 00:18:12,564
that took place hundreds
of thousands of years ago?

383
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:17,102
Whoever comes here in a
spaceship, Nazca would be

384
00:18:17,137 --> 00:18:20,739
like a beacon, as
in: "Come here."

385
00:18:20,774 --> 00:18:24,543
Because the moment you come to
Nazca, you're sort of confronted

386
00:18:24,611 --> 00:18:28,747
with a Cliff Notes to planet
Earth, where you have all sorts

387
00:18:28,815 --> 00:18:33,752
of raw materials that exist in
that one particular spot in

388
00:18:33,820 --> 00:18:37,723
very, very abundant quantities.

389
00:18:37,724 --> 00:18:40,259
I think the Nazca Lines
aren't evidence of search

390
00:18:40,293 --> 00:18:43,095
for gold, but they're evidence
of some communication

391
00:18:43,129 --> 00:18:48,300
with possibly E.T.s, or gods, from above.

392
00:18:48,301 --> 00:18:54,206
But despite the controversy, one
thing is the plain, and the

393
00:18:54,274 --> 00:18:58,544
lines that scar the surrounding
countryside, are not natural

394
00:18:58,578 --> 00:19:00,746
formations.

395
00:19:00,814 --> 00:19:04,116
But while scientists and
ancient astronaut theorists

396
00:19:04,217 --> 00:19:09,021
remain divided about who, or
what, created the Nazca lines,

397
00:19:09,089 --> 00:19:13,959
they are in agreement about
one the so-called Band of

398
00:19:14,027 --> 00:19:22,000
Holes, located in the Pisco Valley,
Peru, is a complete mystery.

399
00:19:22,035 --> 00:19:25,838
In the mountains of Peru,
we have what's commonly

400
00:19:25,872 --> 00:19:30,008
referred to as the Band of
Holes, and it is this Band of

401
00:19:30,043 --> 00:19:37,416
Holes that were carved or
dug into the mountainside.

402
00:19:37,484 --> 00:19:42,020
It's a bunch of little,
shallow holes, dug

403
00:19:42,055 --> 00:19:45,858
into the ground, and it's had
all kinds of explanations.

404
00:19:45,859 --> 00:19:49,027
Some people say it was just pot
hunters, you know, looting,

405
00:19:49,062 --> 00:19:51,597
looking for burials.

406
00:19:51,664 --> 00:19:55,033
Some people think it looks like
some kind of machine was running

407
00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:56,802
over the territory.

408
00:19:56,870 --> 00:20:02,808
Some people think it was some kind
of systematic mining operation.

409
00:20:02,842 --> 00:20:05,477
They need raw material,
be it gold, be it

410
00:20:05,578 --> 00:20:07,479
silver, be it uranium, whatever;

411
00:20:07,514 --> 00:20:08,480
They need something.

412
00:20:08,515 --> 00:20:11,116
And they send something
down like a shuttle.

413
00:20:11,184 --> 00:20:12,651
It can be a robot.

414
00:20:12,685 --> 00:20:14,653
No extraterrestrial is on board.

415
00:20:14,754 --> 00:20:19,024
And this robot just caresses
over the surfaces and collects

416
00:20:19,092 --> 00:20:23,495
and measures raw material,
and disappears again.

417
00:20:23,530 --> 00:20:27,099
The holes run about three
feet apart and measure

418
00:20:27,133 --> 00:20:33,839
six to seven feet in depth,
and number in the thousands.

419
00:20:33,873 --> 00:20:36,642
Often we see regular
structures like that and we

420
00:20:36,676 --> 00:20:40,112
assume either a person or an
intelligent life had to make it,

421
00:20:40,146 --> 00:20:42,514
but there's lots of examples
in nature where the natural

422
00:20:42,582 --> 00:20:47,419
processes lead to large-scale
what we call "pattern formation."

423
00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:49,788
You see it on a small
scale in animals.

424
00:20:49,822 --> 00:20:52,324
You look at leopards and
zebras-- leopards have spots;

425
00:20:52,358 --> 00:20:53,325
Zebras have stripes.

426
00:20:53,393 --> 00:20:56,328
Surprisingly, on geological
scales, some of the same

427
00:20:56,362 --> 00:20:59,698
processes that give you spots
on a leopard could give you

428
00:20:59,799 --> 00:21:02,701
indentations in the ground and
raised areas that would look

429
00:21:02,769 --> 00:21:03,502
like holes.

430
00:21:03,536 --> 00:21:07,239
It would take a long time over
geological scales, but we've had

431
00:21:07,307 --> 00:21:12,611
a long time, and that might be
what they're left over from.

432
00:21:12,679 --> 00:21:15,847
Mainstream archeologists
suggest the holes

433
00:21:15,882 --> 00:21:19,718
were used to store grain, but
ancient astronaut theorists

434
00:21:19,786 --> 00:21:23,522
reject that notion.

435
00:21:23,556 --> 00:21:27,059
It's a mystery because
who in their right mind

436
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,362
would go ahead and
dig all these holes?

437
00:21:30,430 --> 00:21:32,431
For what?

438
00:21:32,432 --> 00:21:36,068
The other intriguing aspect
about the Band of Holes is that

439
00:21:36,169 --> 00:21:40,505
you can only see it from the air.

440
00:21:40,506 --> 00:21:45,177
When you stand down there, all
you see is a couple of holes dug

441
00:21:45,245 --> 00:21:48,347
into the ground, and it
doesn't really mean much.

442
00:21:48,414 --> 00:21:52,451
But if you're up in the air,
there is this long band with

443
00:21:52,518 --> 00:21:57,456
these individual holes that you
can see, and you can conceivably

444
00:21:57,523 --> 00:22:04,096
create some type of message that
can only be seen from the air.

445
00:22:09,168 --> 00:22:12,371
But if ancient aliens
came to Earth searching

446
00:22:12,405 --> 00:22:15,107
for gold, why did they leave?

447
00:22:15,174 --> 00:22:20,379
More gold still exists here, as
do many other valuable minerals.

448
00:22:20,413 --> 00:22:25,183
Could it be that ancient mining
operations were just the means

449
00:22:25,251 --> 00:22:28,186
to another possibly greater end?

450
00:22:28,254 --> 00:22:32,624
Or perhaps the real alien
mission on Earth was to hunt

451
00:22:32,659 --> 00:22:34,626
the greatest prey in the

452
00:22:36,496 --> 00:22:38,930
Man.

453
00:22:41,078 --> 00:22:43,513
Alamosa, Colorado.

454
00:22:43,581 --> 00:22:46,516
September 7, 1967.

455
00:22:46,584 --> 00:22:50,353
When a three-year-old horse
named Snippy went missing, her

456
00:22:50,421 --> 00:22:53,990
owners grew concerned and
went out looking for her.

457
00:22:54,058 --> 00:22:58,361
Their search yielded a gruesome
and mysterious discovery.

458
00:22:58,396 --> 00:23:01,998
Snippy's body had been mutilated...

459
00:23:04,035 --> 00:23:06,002
...almost surgically.

460
00:23:06,037 --> 00:23:09,673
An examination of the carcass
showed that her skin and flesh

461
00:23:09,707 --> 00:23:13,977
had been neatly cut; her heart
and brain had been removed, and

462
00:23:14,045 --> 00:23:17,681
a formaldehyde-like odor
emitted from the remains.

463
00:23:17,748 --> 00:23:23,153
An autopsy also revealed that her
spinal fluid had been removed.

464
00:23:23,187 --> 00:23:26,523
The events of Snippy's death
stunned the community and remain

465
00:23:26,591 --> 00:23:30,227
shrouded in mystery, even to this day.

466
00:23:30,261 --> 00:23:34,331
Since the mutilation, an
estimated 50,000 similar events

467
00:23:34,365 --> 00:23:39,903
have been reported around the world,
most of them involving cattle.

468
00:23:39,904 --> 00:23:43,440
But it was not until about
the middle of the 197os

469
00:23:43,508 --> 00:23:47,511
that cattle mutilations
really entered into Ufology.

470
00:23:47,512 --> 00:23:50,947
Farmers would come out and find
some prize livestock that was

471
00:23:50,982 --> 00:23:55,585
alive and healthy the day before and
then it was just suddenly dead.

472
00:23:55,620 --> 00:23:58,722
And it looked like it had been
cut up in a rather odd way.

473
00:23:58,756 --> 00:24:02,592
That certain parts of the body
looked like they were cut out in

474
00:24:02,627 --> 00:24:08,365
ways that seemed to
be almost surgical.

475
00:24:08,432 --> 00:24:12,269
Television producer and UFO
investigator Linda Howe

476
00:24:12,370 --> 00:24:17,674
has been tracking the mystery of
animal mutilation for over 30 years.

477
00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:19,943
I began trying to get to
the bottom of what was

478
00:24:19,977 --> 00:24:22,612
happening to all of these animals.

479
00:24:22,613 --> 00:24:26,616
There were horses, cows, other
domestic animals found with the

480
00:24:26,684 --> 00:24:29,986
same pattern of bloodless excisions.

481
00:24:30,054 --> 00:24:34,591
The law enforcement called
them animal mutilations.

482
00:24:36,060 --> 00:24:40,330
266-some Polaroids, from so
many cases, and the first thing

483
00:24:40,398 --> 00:24:43,166
I felt was anger.

484
00:24:43,234 --> 00:24:48,939
And then I felt nervous,
and then I felt afraid.

485
00:24:49,006 --> 00:24:52,943
I sat across from sheriffs who
told me, "Linda, we're not

486
00:24:53,010 --> 00:24:56,746
dealing with predators,
disease, and satanic cults.

487
00:24:56,781 --> 00:25:01,051
"We're dealing with creatures
from outer space."

488
00:25:04,455 --> 00:25:06,756
There are several
explanations for why aliens

489
00:25:06,791 --> 00:25:09,059
would want to experiment on cows.

490
00:25:09,093 --> 00:25:11,328
One is that they're
just looking for food.

491
00:25:11,395 --> 00:25:13,763
One that they're looking for
some kind of information about

492
00:25:13,864 --> 00:25:15,765
vertebrate organisms.

493
00:25:15,866 --> 00:25:18,868
Another one is that they're
looking for some kind of genetic

494
00:25:18,903 --> 00:25:21,871
material for some reason.

495
00:25:21,906 --> 00:25:25,408
The closest answer I've ever
gotten was from a man who

496
00:25:25,443 --> 00:25:30,413
had had very upfront, and close
and personal observations of

497
00:25:30,448 --> 00:25:33,083
nonhumans in his work
for the government.

498
00:25:33,084 --> 00:25:36,753
He told me-- he said, "The best
answer I can give you, Linda,

499
00:25:36,787 --> 00:25:38,755
It's a genetic harvest."

500
00:25:38,789 --> 00:25:42,392
But once you have said, "a
genetic harvest from Earth,"

501
00:25:42,426 --> 00:25:44,828
there's even a bigger question.

502
00:25:44,829 --> 00:25:47,964
Why a genetic harvest from Earth?

503
00:25:48,065 --> 00:25:51,968
What is being made with
this genetic harvest?

504
00:25:52,069 --> 00:25:54,971
To what end?

505
00:25:58,676 --> 00:26:01,978
The answer to these questions
might be found in our

506
00:26:02,013 --> 00:26:06,616
ancient past, in the bizarre,
almost Frankenstein-like

507
00:26:06,684 --> 00:26:11,421
experiments that were practiced
by early civilizations.

508
00:26:11,422 --> 00:26:16,426
We have ancient descriptions
from Egypt where it

509
00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:23,833
says specifically that the
gods created these chimeras--

510
00:26:23,901 --> 00:26:27,037
mixed beings, or hybrids.

511
00:26:27,038 --> 00:26:33,643
We find paintings where you have
a human body with a cut-off head

512
00:26:33,711 --> 00:26:38,882
and a red tube coming out of it,
and next to it, you have just

513
00:26:38,916 --> 00:26:41,184
the head of some animal.

514
00:26:41,285 --> 00:26:45,288
And in the next picture-- 'cause
they're like-- they look like

515
00:26:45,356 --> 00:26:46,790
comic strips almost.

516
00:26:46,824 --> 00:26:50,660
And in the next picture, you see
the same human body with the

517
00:26:50,728 --> 00:26:54,664
animal head attached
to the human neck.

518
00:26:54,732 --> 00:26:58,301
Incredibly, examples of
strange human animal

519
00:26:58,335 --> 00:27:03,206
hybrid beings date back to a time
even older than ancient Egypt.

520
00:27:03,274 --> 00:27:06,009
According to mainstream
archaeology, ancient

521
00:27:06,043 --> 00:27:10,680
Sumeria is the earliest
civilization of human kind.

522
00:27:10,715 --> 00:27:15,952
And the interesting part is
the fact that their earliest

523
00:27:15,986 --> 00:27:21,324
writings are filled with
references of these bizarre

524
00:27:21,358 --> 00:27:26,362
beings that descended from
the sky called the Anunnaki.

525
00:27:26,397 --> 00:27:32,335
Anunnaki means "those who
from the heavens came."

526
00:27:34,805 --> 00:27:39,809
But is there any physical evidence
of these human-animal hybrids?

527
00:27:39,877 --> 00:27:43,079
If so, wouldn't we have
found skeletal remains?

528
00:27:43,114 --> 00:27:47,550
The answer may have been found
in Saqqâra, Egypt, home to that

529
00:27:47,585 --> 00:27:48,985
country's oldest pyramid.

530
00:27:49,019 --> 00:27:54,190
In 1851, French scholar and
Egyptologist Auguste Mariette

531
00:27:54,258 --> 00:27:58,194
explored a deep tomb dedicated
to the sacred Apis bull.

532
00:27:58,262 --> 00:28:02,432
Inside were two sealed
and intact sarcophagi.

533
00:28:02,466 --> 00:28:08,838
But when Mariette opened them,
what they contained was shocking.

534
00:28:08,906 --> 00:28:14,210
They opened the sarcophagus
and they didn't find a bull.

535
00:28:14,278 --> 00:28:19,482
Instead, they found this black
mass of what's called bitumen,

536
00:28:19,550 --> 00:28:21,484
a type of asphalt.

537
00:28:21,552 --> 00:28:25,488
And inside this stinking mass,
they found the bone fragments of

538
00:28:25,556 --> 00:28:32,762
seven different types
of animals crushed up.

539
00:28:32,797 --> 00:28:38,034
According to the accompanying
texts, some type of monsters

540
00:28:38,102 --> 00:28:42,872
existed during the
time of the Egyptians.

541
00:28:42,940 --> 00:28:47,410
And so who knows whether or not
the priests instructed the

542
00:28:47,478 --> 00:28:52,582
people to destroy these beings,
to rip them apart, to crush

543
00:28:52,650 --> 00:28:55,051
their bones, and put them
inside this stinking mass,

544
00:28:55,085 --> 00:29:01,858
and put them underneath a lid in
the sarcophagus weighing 80 tons.

545
00:29:01,926 --> 00:29:06,062
I mean, all... in all of Egypt
we can find mummified remains of

546
00:29:06,096 --> 00:29:12,135
every single animal, but we
find these sarcophagi that

547
00:29:12,169 --> 00:29:15,538
contain these crushed-up bones.

548
00:29:15,606 --> 00:29:19,642
Doesn't that mean the ancient
Egyptians did not want for those

549
00:29:19,677 --> 00:29:26,316
creatures to ever return
after their death?

550
00:29:26,417 --> 00:29:29,686
Of course, mainstream scientists and

551
00:29:29,753 --> 00:29:32,956
archeologists believe ancient
Greek and Egyptian stories of

552
00:29:32,990 --> 00:29:36,626
animal and human hybrids are
just fanciful products of the

553
00:29:36,694 --> 00:29:38,628
imagination.

554
00:29:38,696 --> 00:29:39,963
But are they?

555
00:29:39,964 --> 00:29:42,332
There is this period
in pre-dynastic Egypt,

556
00:29:42,433 --> 00:29:44,968
where these demigods ruled.

557
00:29:45,035 --> 00:29:46,669
We have not found human remains.

558
00:29:46,704 --> 00:29:48,905
We do not know who they were.

559
00:29:48,906 --> 00:29:52,242
But we do have scientific
evidence that at least the

560
00:29:52,309 --> 00:29:55,712
ancient Egyptians believed
firmly that they ruled.

561
00:29:55,779 --> 00:29:59,515
As to whether they are just
human beings, like you or I; or

562
00:29:59,617 --> 00:30:02,085
whether they come from somewhere
else; or whether they are a

563
00:30:02,152 --> 00:30:05,722
hybrid being, we have no idea.

564
00:30:05,789 --> 00:30:08,524
What if ancient
civilizations possessed the

565
00:30:08,559 --> 00:30:13,162
advanced scientific knowledge of
our own modern day scientists?

566
00:30:13,230 --> 00:30:17,367
What if they, too, had unlocked
the mysteries of DNA: cloning

567
00:30:17,401 --> 00:30:21,037
and gene-splicing?

568
00:30:21,038 --> 00:30:23,973
Why is this so fascinating?

569
00:30:24,008 --> 00:30:27,543
Well, because if you look at
this from a genetics aspect,

570
00:30:27,578 --> 00:30:33,983
we're in the process right now
today of being able to recreate

571
00:30:34,018 --> 00:30:37,887
creatures like that.

572
00:30:37,888 --> 00:30:39,856
I mean, this is Frankenstein.

573
00:30:39,890 --> 00:30:41,057
This is science fiction stuff.

574
00:30:41,125 --> 00:30:45,895
Yet, in ancient Egypt, we have
the exact same descriptions, the

575
00:30:45,963 --> 00:30:51,868
exact same depictions of some
very bizarre, hybridization

576
00:30:51,902 --> 00:30:59,042
program which took place
thousands of years ago.

577
00:30:59,076 --> 00:31:04,147
They are mixing alien,
animal and human DNA, not

578
00:31:04,181 --> 00:31:09,185
just for ten years or 20 years,
but for thousands and thousands

579
00:31:09,253 --> 00:31:10,920
of years.

580
00:31:10,921 --> 00:31:14,324
And that's why there are so many
alien abductions, and that's why

581
00:31:14,358 --> 00:31:19,495
each generation is cyclically
more advanced than the next,

582
00:31:19,563 --> 00:31:22,131
until we get to the complete
union of two cultures-- the

583
00:31:22,166 --> 00:31:26,069
ultimate hybrid.

584
00:31:26,070 --> 00:31:30,039
I think the answer clearly
is, we're not alone in

585
00:31:30,074 --> 00:31:34,143
this universe and we have
nonhuman intelligences

586
00:31:34,178 --> 00:31:37,880
interacting with this planet for
reasons that are still unknown

587
00:31:37,915 --> 00:31:39,515
to most of us.

588
00:31:39,550 --> 00:31:43,886
It leaves you feeling
a little nervous.

589
00:31:43,921 --> 00:31:47,423
If alien beings came here,
as some suggest, to

590
00:31:47,491 --> 00:31:50,893
perform strange mutation
experiments on animals, could

591
00:31:50,928 --> 00:31:54,063
they have done the same on humans?

592
00:31:54,164 --> 00:31:56,699
And if so... why?

593
00:32:02,970 --> 00:32:08,742
Life on Earth comes in a tremendous
diversity of shapes and sizes.

594
00:32:08,776 --> 00:32:13,179
It can be found from the depths
of the deepest oceans to the

595
00:32:13,214 --> 00:32:16,649
peaks of the highest mountains.

596
00:32:16,684 --> 00:32:21,788
But the vast array of
life-forms we see today is only

597
00:32:21,856 --> 00:32:25,158
a small portion of what has
existed on this planet during

598
00:32:25,192 --> 00:32:27,794
its millions of years of history.

599
00:32:27,862 --> 00:32:32,665
In fact, scientists estimate
that 97% of all the species

600
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:38,138
that have ever lived on
Earth are now extinct.

601
00:32:38,205 --> 00:32:43,376
Most scientists today will
tell us that there have

602
00:32:43,410 --> 00:32:49,682
been six major extinction events
that have occurred during the

603
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:51,117
history of life on Earth.

604
00:32:51,152 --> 00:32:54,554
The most recent of these
extinction events was the one

605
00:32:54,588 --> 00:33:01,327
that occurred 65 million years
ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.

606
00:33:01,395 --> 00:33:05,698
Paleontologists attribute
these mass extinctions

607
00:33:05,733 --> 00:33:11,237
to natural causes such
as meteor strikes...

608
00:33:11,305 --> 00:33:15,675
Floods and dropping sea levels.

609
00:33:15,709 --> 00:33:19,512
But another theory suggests
that these extinctions were not

610
00:33:19,547 --> 00:33:22,782
caused by nature, but by alien beings.

611
00:33:22,850 --> 00:33:27,320
In the ancient Sumerian texts,
they can control weather,

612
00:33:27,388 --> 00:33:31,958
they can cause droughts, and
they did this to humans.

613
00:33:32,026 --> 00:33:37,697
They are capable of producing
their own disasters.

614
00:33:37,765 --> 00:33:40,867
But were now-extinct
life-forms actually

615
00:33:40,901 --> 00:33:43,770
exterminated in order to make
way for other, perhaps more

616
00:33:43,804 --> 00:33:46,673
docile or desirable species?

617
00:33:46,740 --> 00:33:50,677
Was the intent to clear
the way for colonization?

618
00:33:50,744 --> 00:33:52,045
Or invasion?

619
00:33:52,079 --> 00:33:55,315
And if so, what sort of
technology would be needed to

620
00:33:55,349 --> 00:34:00,486
effect such a widespread change?

621
00:34:00,521 --> 00:34:05,692
Some theories say that
we have that technology

622
00:34:05,759 --> 00:34:07,694
now, called scalar technology.

623
00:34:07,761 --> 00:34:11,397
We heat up to high, electrical
impulses, a certain spot on the

624
00:34:11,498 --> 00:34:15,068
water, and that creates a hurricane.

625
00:34:15,135 --> 00:34:19,939
And by making a path with that
beam, you can track the hurricane.

626
00:34:19,974 --> 00:34:24,344
Now if we can do that-- and this
is hypothetical-- if we can do

627
00:34:24,411 --> 00:34:29,482
that, why can't an alien culture
say, "Let's create an ice age on

628
00:34:29,516 --> 00:34:32,518
planet Earth?"

629
00:34:32,553 --> 00:34:37,523
It will kill off the dinosaurs,
but pave the way for aliens to

630
00:34:37,558 --> 00:34:43,596
implant human beings on planet Earth.

631
00:34:43,631 --> 00:34:47,600
Did alien beings come to
Earth in order to stay?

632
00:34:47,701 --> 00:34:52,272
Might they, as some believe,
have seeded it with their own

633
00:34:52,339 --> 00:34:53,539
genetic offspring?

634
00:34:53,574 --> 00:34:56,609
If so, where is the proof?

635
00:34:56,644 --> 00:35:01,314
Some ancient astronaut theorists
point to myths that describe

636
00:35:01,348 --> 00:35:06,319
gods coming down from the heavens
in order to mate with humans.

637
00:35:06,353 --> 00:35:09,455
Ancient texts talk about
the fact that whoever

638
00:35:09,490 --> 00:35:14,160
visited the earth in the remote
past, these gods, thought that

639
00:35:14,228 --> 00:35:16,329
Earth women were quite beautiful.

640
00:35:16,363 --> 00:35:23,102
So, in many occasions, we find
stories where those visitors

641
00:35:23,137 --> 00:35:27,807
essentially mated with Earth women.

642
00:35:27,841 --> 00:35:32,445
It was misinterpreted,
misunderstood as something

643
00:35:32,513 --> 00:35:34,247
divine that came here.

644
00:35:34,281 --> 00:35:38,351
They were flesh-and-blood
extraterrestrials.

645
00:35:38,385 --> 00:35:42,455
Native American folklore
refers to those beings

646
00:35:42,523 --> 00:35:45,258
who came down from the heavens
to breed with Earth women as

647
00:35:45,292 --> 00:35:49,295
Star People.

648
00:35:49,330 --> 00:35:55,001
The Star People are
extraterrestrial people.

649
00:35:55,035 --> 00:36:01,474
They are not from this...
this earth.

650
00:36:01,542 --> 00:36:02,842
They visit.

651
00:36:02,876 --> 00:36:08,648
They are star ancestors.

652
00:36:08,682 --> 00:36:12,485
There's a great deal of, uh,
of interaction between them.

653
00:36:12,553 --> 00:36:18,658
Like some of the American Indian
star husband tales where some

654
00:36:18,726 --> 00:36:21,861
woman sleeping outside at night
looks up at a star and thinks

655
00:36:21,929 --> 00:36:25,031
it's very beautiful and would
like to go there, and winds up

656
00:36:25,132 --> 00:36:28,501
finding herself in the morning
being pulled up into heaven and

657
00:36:28,569 --> 00:36:32,305
meeting with the supernatural
being who was associated with

658
00:36:32,373 --> 00:36:36,042
that star in becoming the
bride of the star husband.

659
00:36:36,110 --> 00:36:39,946
According to Native American
mythology, the brides

660
00:36:40,014 --> 00:36:43,549
of these alien beings would
become pregnant and give birth

661
00:36:43,584 --> 00:36:46,686
to star children.

662
00:36:46,754 --> 00:36:49,222
They would be raised by the
native mother until the age of

663
00:36:49,256 --> 00:36:55,061
six, when they went to live
with their star father.

664
00:36:55,129 --> 00:36:59,866
Similar stories of intimate
encounters between celestial

665
00:36:59,933 --> 00:37:03,236
beings and humans can be
found in ancient Hebrew and

666
00:37:03,270 --> 00:37:07,407
Judeo-Christian testaments
often referred to as The

667
00:37:07,441 --> 00:37:12,245
Pseudepigraph, or what many
refer to as the Apocrypha.

668
00:37:12,279 --> 00:37:15,782
There are lots of instances in the
Pseudepigraph-- these are the

669
00:37:15,849 --> 00:37:18,317
books that didn't make it into
the Bible-- where people are

670
00:37:18,385 --> 00:37:23,022
visited by beings that
aren't from this earth.

671
00:37:23,023 --> 00:37:26,692
Before the Bible became
the Bible of today, there

672
00:37:26,727 --> 00:37:33,232
were many additional books that
used to be a part of the Bible.

673
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:37,603
They were removed in what was
called the Council of Nicaea

674
00:37:37,704 --> 00:37:43,309
because those books contained
too much information, dangerous

675
00:37:43,343 --> 00:37:46,079
knowledge.

676
00:37:46,146 --> 00:37:48,181
In Genesis 6, where
it talks about these

677
00:37:48,248 --> 00:37:51,984
watchers that are kind of angels
that came down from heaven and

678
00:37:52,052 --> 00:37:57,223
had sex with the women of the earth.

679
00:37:57,224 --> 00:38:03,596
These strangers had sex with
beautiful young girls on our planet.

680
00:38:03,630 --> 00:38:06,165
How can angels have sex?

681
00:38:06,233 --> 00:38:07,633
This is impossible.

682
00:38:07,668 --> 00:38:11,170
In our point, in our view,
angels were something spiritual,

683
00:38:11,238 --> 00:38:14,373
not something who has a body,
and has a feeling of sex.

684
00:38:14,441 --> 00:38:16,375
But they had sex.

685
00:38:16,443 --> 00:38:20,446
Our prehistoric ancestors could
not understand, and they believe

686
00:38:20,481 --> 00:38:24,250
that these extraterrestrials
are some kind of gods.

687
00:38:24,284 --> 00:38:27,653
The conception of the Christ.

688
00:38:27,721 --> 00:38:30,289
An angel comes to the holy
mother, to the Virgin Mary, and

689
00:38:30,357 --> 00:38:33,526
tells her that she's going to
be blessed by God with a child.

690
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,997
And then, essentially, she
finds herself pregnant.

691
00:38:38,031 --> 00:38:42,268
There is an angelic reality
point in the New Testament.

692
00:38:42,302 --> 00:38:45,638
And whether it be at the birth
of Jesus, or his resurrection,

693
00:38:45,706 --> 00:38:48,441
we've got the possibility of
other powers from another world

694
00:38:48,475 --> 00:38:51,878
being involved from the
beginning to the end.

695
00:38:51,879 --> 00:38:55,281
The more literal version
is the idea that Jesus

696
00:38:55,349 --> 00:38:59,185
is strictly alien, which, of course,
in a sense, he is as, uh...

697
00:38:59,219 --> 00:39:02,021
You know, even if you take
him as the son of God, then

698
00:39:02,055 --> 00:39:05,625
obviously, he is not of this earth.

699
00:39:05,659 --> 00:39:09,729
I tend to believe that Jesus
was a very spiritual human

700
00:39:09,763 --> 00:39:14,400
being who understood a lot of
things that we're beginning to

701
00:39:14,468 --> 00:39:15,835
learn today.

702
00:39:15,869 --> 00:39:18,638
But it's also very possible
that he might have been an

703
00:39:18,672 --> 00:39:22,575
extraterrestrial who came
down to teach us things.

704
00:39:22,643 --> 00:39:32,485
That divine intelligence is very
real in some form or fashion.

705
00:39:32,553 --> 00:39:36,322
Tales of gods mating with
humans are prevalent

706
00:39:36,356 --> 00:39:38,691
in everything from Greek and
Roman mythology to Native

707
00:39:38,759 --> 00:39:42,328
American legends.

708
00:39:42,396 --> 00:39:47,400
In China, at the end of the
fifth century BC, the country

709
00:39:47,501 --> 00:39:51,671
was divided into seven states,
each ruled by powerful warlords

710
00:39:51,705 --> 00:39:55,041
who battled for territory and power.

711
00:39:55,108 --> 00:39:59,579
It was during this turbulent era
when the legendary story of

712
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,683
Huangdi first appeared.

713
00:40:03,717 --> 00:40:07,954
A great god took the form
of a dragon, came down to a

714
00:40:08,021 --> 00:40:12,225
hilltop where a young maiden
was out gathering fruit.

715
00:40:12,292 --> 00:40:16,062
And as this great dragon
came near, the sky darkened.

716
00:40:16,129 --> 00:40:17,496
Jt was like a storm.

717
00:40:17,531 --> 00:40:20,066
She was terrified, and she passed out.

718
00:40:20,133 --> 00:40:24,403
When she came awake again, uh,
the sun had come out again, and

719
00:40:24,438 --> 00:40:28,708
the dragon was gone,
and she was pregnant.

720
00:40:28,742 --> 00:40:31,877
Much like the story of the
Virgin Mary and Jesus,

721
00:40:31,912 --> 00:40:35,982
the story of Huangdi told of an
earthling woman who would give

722
00:40:36,049 --> 00:40:39,485
birth to him-- the legendary
first emperor of China who

723
00:40:39,553 --> 00:40:42,288
ushered in a time of great change.

724
00:40:42,322 --> 00:40:45,558
Gods deliberately bred with
humans so that they could

725
00:40:45,592 --> 00:40:48,694
produce, they could get a race
that they could trust and

726
00:40:48,762 --> 00:40:51,130
control a little bit better.

727
00:40:51,131 --> 00:40:55,868
In my mind, legends and-and myths
are based on something real--

728
00:40:55,902 --> 00:41:01,407
while they have been mythified
and distorted and exaggerated,

729
00:41:01,475 --> 00:41:07,947
in many cases-- but there is, in
my mind, some core of truth here.

730
00:41:08,048 --> 00:41:11,117
Another prevalent theme
in ancient texts, myths,

731
00:41:11,151 --> 00:41:16,389
and religions is that of a
cataclysm of some kind.

732
00:41:16,423 --> 00:41:20,893
Usually, these come in the form
of an intense flood, fire, or

733
00:41:20,927 --> 00:41:24,230
other devastating catastrophe.

734
00:41:24,298 --> 00:41:28,934
In the Hebrew Bible, for
example, God punishes mankind

735
00:41:28,969 --> 00:41:31,771
for their decadence and sinful ways.

736
00:41:31,805 --> 00:41:36,442
He sends punishment in the
form of a great flood...

737
00:41:36,510 --> 00:41:41,614
Which destroys nearly all living
things on the planet, except for

738
00:41:41,648 --> 00:41:47,720
Noah, his family, and the
animals rescued aboard his ark.

739
00:41:47,788 --> 00:41:52,625
Similar stories can be found
in numerous ancient texts.

740
00:41:52,659 --> 00:41:56,495
Many of the mythical tales
of most civilizations

741
00:41:56,530 --> 00:42:00,599
include some kind of idea that
there are gods that came to

742
00:42:00,634 --> 00:42:04,170
Earth at some point.

743
00:42:07,207 --> 00:42:12,011
One interpretation has been that
these are literal descriptions

744
00:42:12,045 --> 00:42:13,179
of visitors from space.

745
00:42:13,213 --> 00:42:18,184
Not gods, but some creatures of...
with advanced technology

746
00:42:18,285 --> 00:42:21,287
that came to Earth in times
past, and either created

747
00:42:21,321 --> 00:42:25,825
mankind, brought culture to the
Earth, brought civilization, and

748
00:42:25,892 --> 00:42:30,629
then, for some reason, departed,
usually under some kind of

749
00:42:30,697 --> 00:42:36,902
breach between mankind and the gods.

750
00:42:36,903 --> 00:42:40,206
Take the case of the
once-thriving Mesoamerican

751
00:42:40,240 --> 00:42:42,808
cultures of the Aztecs and the Mayans.

752
00:42:42,843 --> 00:42:49,749
By the year 1500 AD, they
had all but vanished.

753
00:42:49,816 --> 00:42:51,016
But why?

754
00:42:51,084 --> 00:42:54,186
Was there a natural
disaster of some kind?

755
00:42:54,254 --> 00:42:59,191
Or is there another, more
otherworldly explanation?

756
00:42:59,259 --> 00:43:07,400
At some point, it all crashed
in a cataclysmic disaster.

757
00:43:07,434 --> 00:43:11,203
And the world, as they
knew it, came to an end.

758
00:43:11,271 --> 00:43:17,209
And tidal waves washed
across continents.

759
00:43:17,277 --> 00:43:21,046
Areas of the planet went under water.

760
00:43:21,114 --> 00:43:23,749
And the megalithic building that
was going on then, too, also

761
00:43:23,850 --> 00:43:25,451
completely stopped.

762
00:43:25,485 --> 00:43:28,854
And it's what we see at certain areas.

763
00:43:28,889 --> 00:43:33,759
Like in Peru, where giant blocks
of granite have been quarried

764
00:43:33,794 --> 00:43:38,230
and partially moved to
where they were going.

765
00:43:38,298 --> 00:43:45,404
But then it all came to a
sudden, complete halt.

766
00:43:47,574 --> 00:43:51,877
For nearly 3,000 years,
the Mayan civilization

767
00:43:51,945 --> 00:43:54,113
thrived in Central America.

768
00:43:54,147 --> 00:43:56,882
Among their many
accomplishments, the ancient

769
00:43:56,950 --> 00:44:02,288
Maya invented a remarkably
complex and accurate calendar.

770
00:44:02,322 --> 00:44:09,295
According to scholars, the calendar
started on August 11, 3114 BC.

771
00:44:09,329 --> 00:44:13,666
The first calendar cycle
ends about 5,000 years later

772
00:44:13,700 --> 00:44:17,670
on December 21, 2012.

773
00:44:17,704 --> 00:44:19,572
But why?

774
00:44:19,606 --> 00:44:22,975
Did the Mayans know something
about mankind's future--

775
00:44:23,076 --> 00:44:26,979
something we have forgotten
or chosen to ignore?

776
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,515
There's a lot of excitement
being generated now

777
00:44:29,583 --> 00:44:35,354
about the Mayan calendar
ending in year 2012, and if

778
00:44:35,388 --> 00:44:40,159
there is such a cataclysm or
some massive Earth change that's

779
00:44:40,260 --> 00:44:42,061
suddenly going to occur.

780
00:44:42,128 --> 00:44:46,332
And so the idea that ancient
people, like the Mayans say,

781
00:44:46,366 --> 00:44:51,003
were somehow totally in tune
with this and had knowledge

782
00:44:51,071 --> 00:44:56,642
of these kind of vast cosmic
cycles, which apparently led

783
00:44:56,676 --> 00:45:00,079
to cataclysmic changes on
the Earth, that's the kind

784
00:45:00,146 --> 00:45:04,650
of advanced knowledge that we
wouldn't expect them to have.

785
00:45:04,718 --> 00:45:07,386
And where would they get
that kind of knowledge?

786
00:45:07,387 --> 00:45:10,990
You would think that would have
to come from extraterrestrials.

787
00:45:11,057 --> 00:45:13,792
If we accept the notion
that alien beings

788
00:45:13,827 --> 00:45:18,097
left behind the Mayan calendar
as some type of ancient advanced

789
00:45:18,164 --> 00:45:21,734
warning device, might they
have left other astronomical

790
00:45:21,801 --> 00:45:24,370
instruments here on Earth?

791
00:45:24,471 --> 00:45:27,840
And if so, why was it so
important for ancient

792
00:45:27,908 --> 00:45:33,646
civilizations to track the stars?

793
00:45:37,195 --> 00:45:40,631
The stars.

794
00:45:40,665 --> 00:45:44,468
Since the beginning of time, man
has gazed in wonder at the night

795
00:45:44,536 --> 00:45:46,470
sky.

796
00:45:46,538 --> 00:45:52,376
Stars became the stuff of
legends, home of the gods and

797
00:45:52,477 --> 00:45:56,213
sometimes, man's final resting place.

798
00:45:56,281 --> 00:46:00,084
It is no surprise then that
ancient man built monuments

799
00:46:00,118 --> 00:46:04,221
dedicated to these celestial wonders.

800
00:46:04,222 --> 00:46:06,657
When we look at ancient
monuments around the

801
00:46:06,725 --> 00:46:10,194
world-- these Mesolithic
structures-- we find that many

802
00:46:10,261 --> 00:46:17,401
of them are aligned
astronomically to the sun,

803
00:46:17,469 --> 00:46:24,108
to planets, to stars...
Numerous examples can be listed.

804
00:46:24,142 --> 00:46:31,014
Stonehenge is essentially an
ancient astronomical observatory.

805
00:46:31,049 --> 00:46:34,418
Guess it may have been used
for ritualistic purposes.

806
00:46:34,486 --> 00:46:37,688
It may have been used
for religious purposes.

807
00:46:37,722 --> 00:46:40,924
But it's very clear that it was
also used for astronomical

808
00:46:40,959 --> 00:46:43,794
purposes, for observations.

809
00:46:43,795 --> 00:46:48,465
We're not surprised
whether it's Stonehenge,

810
00:46:48,500 --> 00:46:53,036
pyramids, or perhaps the Nazca
Lines that ancient people

811
00:46:53,071 --> 00:46:56,140
understood events that were
going to happen in the sky, and

812
00:46:56,207 --> 00:46:59,209
when they would repeat.

813
00:46:59,210 --> 00:47:04,314
But why was ancient man
so fixated on the sky?

814
00:47:04,382 --> 00:47:06,950
And why did they construct
elaborate stone monuments and

815
00:47:07,051 --> 00:47:11,789
temples in order to track
the movements of the stars?

816
00:47:11,890 --> 00:47:16,059
Was it simply to help farmers
know when to plant their crops?

817
00:47:16,094 --> 00:47:20,864
Or might there have been another,
perhaps more profound purpose?

818
00:47:20,899 --> 00:47:25,502
Could they, as some believe,
have been constructed as a type

819
00:47:25,537 --> 00:47:30,240
of extraterrestrial GPS system?

820
00:47:32,977 --> 00:47:35,779
Nabta Playa, Egypt.

821
00:47:35,814 --> 00:47:40,417
500 miles south of Cairo in
Egypt's Nubian Desert sits

822
00:47:40,451 --> 00:47:45,522
one of the oldest astronomical
sites ever discovered.

823
00:47:45,623 --> 00:47:51,595
In 1974, archaeologist Fred
Wendorf almost passed it by

824
00:47:51,629 --> 00:47:57,134
before noticing its small stone
artifacts and toppled rocks.

825
00:47:57,135 --> 00:47:59,269
It's a very strange site.

826
00:47:59,337 --> 00:48:04,608
It's just strange stone formations,
circles, uh, stone alignments.

827
00:48:04,609 --> 00:48:10,447
Bizarre trigger lines with
strange rocks and others.

828
00:48:10,481 --> 00:48:13,550
Later excavations put the
date of the astronomical

829
00:48:13,618 --> 00:48:20,090
device at approximately 5000 BC,
making it close to 1,000 years

830
00:48:20,158 --> 00:48:24,361
older than the remarkably similar
formation at Stonehenge.

831
00:48:24,395 --> 00:48:26,563
When they brought an astronomer
there, they realized

832
00:48:26,631 --> 00:48:30,801
that it was a ceremonial site,
very intensely astronomical.

833
00:48:30,835 --> 00:48:34,271
The intriguing thing about this
site is that it shows that they

834
00:48:34,339 --> 00:48:38,008
were tracking stars over
thousands of years.

835
00:48:38,042 --> 00:48:40,978
And to track stars over that
period, they must have have been

836
00:48:41,012 --> 00:48:43,280
aware of what we call
"precession," which means they

837
00:48:43,348 --> 00:48:47,384
weren't simply astronomers,
or ancient astronomers.

838
00:48:47,418 --> 00:48:52,022
They were very
sophisticated astronomers.

839
00:48:52,056 --> 00:48:54,825
Could the people who
built Nabta Playa 7,000

840
00:48:54,893 --> 00:48:58,562
years ago have possessed
an advanced understanding

841
00:48:58,663 --> 00:49:00,664
of physics and astronomy?

842
00:49:00,698 --> 00:49:04,568
One that rivals or, perhaps,
surpasses our own?

843
00:49:04,669 --> 00:49:10,941
And why were they tracking
Orion and Sirius?

844
00:49:11,009 --> 00:49:16,179
In 1994, the mystery of Nabta
Playa took on even greater

845
00:49:16,214 --> 00:49:19,750
significance when Robert
Bauval announced a surprising

846
00:49:19,851 --> 00:49:25,923
discovery along Egt's Giza Plateau.

847
00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:30,460
The Great Pyramid contained
four long interior shafts.

848
00:49:30,528 --> 00:49:34,197
Bauval determined that they
were each precisely aligned

849
00:49:34,265 --> 00:49:38,201
with specific stars in the sky.

850
00:49:38,236 --> 00:49:43,907
The southerones aligned to the
belt of Orion and to Sirius,

851
00:49:44,008 --> 00:49:47,277
and the northern ones aligned
to the second pole stars.

852
00:49:47,345 --> 00:49:49,846
Again, this is very intriguing.

853
00:49:49,914 --> 00:49:54,384
In terms of construction engineering,
that's, that's bull's-eye.

854
00:49:54,419 --> 00:49:58,455
As an engineer, I know that it's
one thing building a pyramid.

855
00:49:58,489 --> 00:50:00,724
But it's another thing building
a pyramid with that kind

856
00:50:00,758 --> 00:50:02,359
of precision.

857
00:50:02,393 --> 00:50:05,762
Bauval also proved that the
three pyramids of Giza

858
00:50:05,830 --> 00:50:09,533
were laid out in the precise
order and position of the three

859
00:50:09,567 --> 00:50:12,769
stars of the Orion's
Belt constellation.

860
00:50:12,837 --> 00:50:16,406
But what exactly is the
significance of the shaft

861
00:50:16,441 --> 00:50:23,280
alignment and the layout of
the pyramids themselves?

862
00:50:23,314 --> 00:50:25,115
I mean, we're deciphering a message.

863
00:50:25,149 --> 00:50:27,551
The question is whether it is
religious or whether it is

864
00:50:27,585 --> 00:50:28,919
a stellar message.

865
00:50:28,953 --> 00:50:32,656
The fact is that what we have
on the ground is an image of a

866
00:50:32,690 --> 00:50:39,963
constellation that we know now
is the birthplace of stars.

867
00:50:40,031 --> 00:50:42,666
Literally, stars are being born there.

868
00:50:42,734 --> 00:50:45,936
And the Egyptians themselves
believed that their gods had

869
00:50:45,970 --> 00:50:50,841
descended from the stars.

870
00:50:50,842 --> 00:50:52,776
That could be either a
knowledge of ancient

871
00:50:52,810 --> 00:50:57,681
astronomy, or it could also be a
road map to where these E.T.s

872
00:50:57,749 --> 00:50:59,850
may have come from.

873
00:50:59,851 --> 00:51:02,319
But why were the ancients
so fixated on the

874
00:51:02,420 --> 00:51:06,123
Orion and Sirius constellations?

875
00:51:06,157 --> 00:51:09,059
Some believe the answer can
be found on the other side

876
00:51:09,127 --> 00:51:12,496
of the world in North America.

877
00:51:14,766 --> 00:51:19,136
Cholula, Mexico is home to the
largest pyramid in the world.

878
00:51:19,170 --> 00:51:23,707
More than 3,000 years old,
it is estimated that it took

879
00:51:23,775 --> 00:51:26,643
approximately 1,400 years to complete.

880
00:51:26,644 --> 00:51:29,346
Even though the Cholula
Pyramid doesn't look

881
00:51:29,380 --> 00:51:33,850
like much because of the
overgrown jungle, it is in fact

882
00:51:33,885 --> 00:51:41,258
the world's largest monument
ever constructed by human hands.

883
00:51:41,259 --> 00:51:44,694
In fact, the volume of the
Cholula pyramid-- the whole

884
00:51:44,796 --> 00:51:49,900
pyramid complex-- is 4.
45 million cubic meters.

885
00:51:49,967 --> 00:51:56,973
The great pyramid in Egypt only has 2.5
million cubic meters

886
00:51:57,008 --> 00:51:59,810
in volume.

887
00:51:59,844 --> 00:52:04,714
So, the great pyramid at Giza
is way taller than the Cholula

888
00:52:04,816 --> 00:52:10,454
Pyramid, but volume-wise, the
Cholula Pyramid is, by far,

889
00:52:10,521 --> 00:52:18,161
the largest man-made structure
ever created on planet Earth.

890
00:52:20,264 --> 00:52:23,467
Originally built by the
Olmecs in the third century

891
00:52:23,534 --> 00:52:27,737
BC, it was later added on to and
used by the Toltecs and the

892
00:52:27,839 --> 00:52:35,745
Aztecs as a place of religious
ritual and human sacrifice.

893
00:52:35,813 --> 00:52:39,116
But along with its history of
bloodshed, an examination of the

894
00:52:39,183 --> 00:52:42,619
pyramid reveals that the ancient
cultures of the region had

895
00:52:42,653 --> 00:52:46,456
a remarkable understanding
of astronomy.

896
00:52:46,524 --> 00:52:50,193
It's interesting to
consider what the Aztec

897
00:52:50,261 --> 00:52:53,930
people thought about its origins.

898
00:52:53,931 --> 00:52:59,202
They did not think it was built
by humans, like us, which is

899
00:52:59,270 --> 00:53:02,105
our theory today.

900
00:53:02,106 --> 00:53:06,843
According to the ancient Aztec
tradition, the Cholula Pyramid

901
00:53:06,911 --> 00:53:13,817
was built by a being
they called a "giant."

902
00:53:13,851 --> 00:53:18,955
If you look at the Aztec
cosmology, you'll see that

903
00:53:18,990 --> 00:53:24,828
these giant beings were identified
with different celestial objects.

904
00:53:24,862 --> 00:53:29,966
The one in particular that is
said to have built the Cholula

905
00:53:30,034 --> 00:53:35,405
Pyramid is identified
with the planet Venus.

906
00:53:38,109 --> 00:53:40,944
Both the Aztecs and the
ancient Egyptians charted

907
00:53:41,012 --> 00:53:44,014
most of the planets in the solar
system thousands of years

908
00:53:44,048 --> 00:53:46,316
before European astronomers.

909
00:53:46,350 --> 00:53:48,018
But why?

910
00:53:48,052 --> 00:53:52,122
And even more compelling is the
fact that the two cultures were

911
00:53:52,156 --> 00:53:56,760
thousands of miles and
half a world apart.

912
00:53:56,794 --> 00:53:59,029
Mainstream archeologists
are telling us

913
00:53:59,063 --> 00:54:02,065
that all these civilizations
around the world-- in the

914
00:54:02,133 --> 00:54:05,202
Americas, on remote Pacific
islands, in Asia and Africa and

915
00:54:05,236 --> 00:54:08,038
Europe-- that they're all
disconnected with each other,

916
00:54:08,139 --> 00:54:11,308
and that there wasn't some
contact with South America, and

917
00:54:11,342 --> 00:54:16,980
Egypt, or any of these
ancient civilizations.

918
00:54:16,981 --> 00:54:19,583
But really, it has to be
the other way around.

919
00:54:19,650 --> 00:54:25,021
All of these ancient civilizations
were connected in some way.

920
00:54:25,022 --> 00:54:28,391
But were these holy sites,
as ancient astronaut

921
00:54:28,459 --> 00:54:32,195
proponents suggest, really
connected to each other?

922
00:54:32,230 --> 00:54:34,598
And if so, why?

923
00:54:34,665 --> 00:54:38,134
Are they evidence of
aliens coming to earth?

924
00:54:38,135 --> 00:54:40,303
Whoa, I'm getting a series
of lights right there.

925
00:54:40,371 --> 00:54:42,205
I got it, I got it, I got it.

926
00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:44,874
These reports that we continue
to get from people of

927
00:54:44,942 --> 00:54:49,512
E.T. visitations and craft,
clearly points out to me that

928
00:54:49,547 --> 00:54:50,513
we're being visited.

929
00:54:50,581 --> 00:54:51,581
And we have been visited.

930
00:54:51,649 --> 00:54:53,650
Oh, there it is-- over to the left.

931
00:54:53,684 --> 00:54:57,520
They may have physically left the
planet, in terms of a civilization.

932
00:54:57,555 --> 00:55:01,324
But they-- they're continuing
to come back and monitor us for

933
00:55:01,392 --> 00:55:02,325
some reason.

934
00:55:02,393 --> 00:55:04,327
<i>Dude...
Wow.</i>

935
00:55:04,395 --> 00:55:05,295
<i>...they're back.</i>

936
00:55:05,329 --> 00:55:06,296
<i>More appeared, bro.</i>

937
00:55:06,330 --> 00:55:10,867
If aliens are watching us today,
what are they waiting for?

938
00:55:10,968 --> 00:55:15,672
Or, as some claim, have they
already left messages for us in

939
00:55:15,706 --> 00:55:18,675
plain view?

940
00:55:23,721 --> 00:55:28,759
90 miles west of London, in the
county of Wiltshire, the English

941
00:55:28,793 --> 00:55:32,696
countryside remains pretty much
as it has for thousands of years.

942
00:55:32,730 --> 00:55:37,634
Small farms, stone walls, and
rolling green hills provide

943
00:55:37,702 --> 00:55:43,574
inhabitants with an environment
of peace and stability.

944
00:55:43,641 --> 00:55:47,945
This historic region is also
home to a large number of

945
00:55:47,946 --> 00:55:52,316
ancient sacred sites, many
built thousands of years ago.

946
00:55:52,317 --> 00:55:56,286
It's an ancient, sacred landscape
where most of them occur.

947
00:55:56,321 --> 00:55:58,755
There are monuments that you
know about: Stonehenge,

948
00:55:58,790 --> 00:56:01,792
Avebury, Silbury Hill.

949
00:56:01,793 --> 00:56:04,862
This is one small area that
seems to be a manipulated

950
00:56:04,929 --> 00:56:07,764
landscape that was done
thousands of years ago where

951
00:56:07,832 --> 00:56:10,767
sacred rituals have taken place.

952
00:56:14,672 --> 00:56:18,942
But in 1978, Wiltshire's
tranquil landscape

953
00:56:18,977 --> 00:56:24,681
became the focus of a controversy
that persists to this day.

954
00:56:27,018 --> 00:56:31,388
Today alongside the tracks of
farm machinery, a new set of

955
00:56:31,422 --> 00:56:32,823
circles were found.

956
00:56:32,857 --> 00:56:37,661
No human tracks lead to the markings.

957
00:56:39,864 --> 00:56:43,934
There, carved in fields
of wheat, barley, and rye

958
00:56:43,968 --> 00:56:47,938
were elaborate geometric patterns.

959
00:56:47,972 --> 00:56:52,309
Even more curious was the fact
that much like the famed Nazca

960
00:56:52,377 --> 00:56:57,381
Lines of Peru, the designs were
only visible from the air.

961
00:56:57,448 --> 00:57:00,117
When you see it for the first
time, you go, "What in

962
00:57:00,151 --> 00:57:01,518
the world is that doing there?"

963
00:57:01,552 --> 00:57:05,589
I mean, it's obviously not natural.

964
00:57:05,590 --> 00:57:08,325
There have been cases that
have been traced back

965
00:57:08,359 --> 00:57:11,395
for hundreds of years--
so-called mowing devil, where

966
00:57:11,429 --> 00:57:15,299
apparently some sort of a devil
supposedly mowed a field in a

967
00:57:15,333 --> 00:57:16,500
single night.

968
00:57:16,534 --> 00:57:20,037
But they became recognized as
a phenomenon only when these

969
00:57:20,071 --> 00:57:24,241
circles started appearing
in English wheat fields.

970
00:57:24,242 --> 00:57:26,710
They were very simple things at first.

971
00:57:26,811 --> 00:57:29,746
And, well-- but they kept
occurring year after year, and

972
00:57:29,747 --> 00:57:32,349
each year they seemed to get
a little more elaborate.

973
00:57:32,383 --> 00:57:34,818
One of the early theories was
that there was some kind of

974
00:57:34,886 --> 00:57:36,853
whirlwind that was making them.

975
00:57:36,888 --> 00:57:39,589
But as they became more
elaborate, they also became

976
00:57:39,624 --> 00:57:43,727
associated with paranormal
activity, particularly UFOs.

977
00:57:43,795 --> 00:57:46,997
Some people said they saw a
light in the field at night.

978
00:57:47,065 --> 00:57:51,702
And some people that-- began
to read thaas a UFO presence.

979
00:57:51,703 --> 00:57:54,304
This circle in a Wiltshire
field is just one of

980
00:57:54,339 --> 00:57:59,042
200 such markings to have been
discovered in the last six weeks.

981
00:57:59,143 --> 00:58:02,512
To farmers and scientists, how
they're formed or by whom

982
00:58:02,547 --> 00:58:05,182
remains a big mystery.

983
00:58:05,183 --> 00:58:08,251
Not surprisingly, the
region became the focus of

984
00:58:08,319 --> 00:58:11,755
intense interest from UFO
enthusiasts and skeptics,

985
00:58:11,756 --> 00:58:16,893
each offering explanations as to
who or what was responsible for

986
00:58:16,928 --> 00:58:20,163
this strange phenomenon.

987
00:58:20,231 --> 00:58:23,767
But if in fact, alien beings
from another planet were

988
00:58:23,801 --> 00:58:27,871
responsible for the crop
circles, why were they making

989
00:58:27,905 --> 00:58:29,506
them in England?

990
00:58:29,540 --> 00:58:33,877
Were they trying to contact us
or were there clues embedded in

991
00:58:33,945 --> 00:58:35,412
the designs?

992
00:58:35,446 --> 00:58:38,815
And was the proximity to
Stonehenge and other ancient

993
00:58:38,883 --> 00:58:42,119
sites of any particular significance?

994
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,421
So you have the idea of
these earth energies,

995
00:58:44,455 --> 00:58:47,357
and these ancient structures,
and then the crop circles are

996
00:58:47,425 --> 00:58:50,427
appearing around them.

997
00:58:50,428 --> 00:58:53,797
And many of the crop circles
appear to be some kind of

998
00:58:53,865 --> 00:58:56,166
signals and ancient writing.

999
00:58:56,234 --> 00:58:59,536
The crop circles are calling
us back to a time before

1000
00:58:59,604 --> 00:59:03,540
science and spirit got
separated, when we were whole;

1001
00:59:03,608 --> 00:59:05,008
We had a sense of wholeness.

1002
00:59:05,076 --> 00:59:08,345
And here, they're landing near
sacred sites that are from an

1003
00:59:08,379 --> 00:59:12,082
ancient time when we did
experience those things.

1004
00:59:12,083 --> 00:59:18,088
When I saw the first photographs, I was...
haunted, actually.

1005
00:59:18,089 --> 00:59:20,557
Are these extraterrestrials
doing this?

1006
00:59:20,591 --> 00:59:25,195
Are we dealing with somebody who
knows how to bend space and time?

1007
00:59:25,263 --> 00:59:28,932
Our entire relationship with the
universe and quantum physics--

1008
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:34,905
in all of its complexities--
has been pushed hard by crop

1009
00:59:34,939 --> 00:59:38,809
formations alone.

1010
00:59:38,843 --> 00:59:44,281
Certainly it is one theory that
extraterrestrials are trying to

1011
00:59:44,348 --> 00:59:48,919
communicate in a big way
through popular media.

1012
00:59:48,986 --> 00:59:51,988
Crop circles do get in
newspapers all over the world.

1013
00:59:52,023 --> 00:59:53,390
Perhaps that's what they want.

1014
00:59:53,458 --> 00:59:56,293
These are being carefully designed.

1015
00:59:56,294 --> 00:59:59,196
They're not accidental-- both,
in terms of the shape, and where

1016
00:59:59,263 --> 01:00:00,464
they land.

1017
01:00:00,498 --> 01:00:01,665
These aren't accidents.

1018
01:00:01,766 --> 01:00:05,535
There's a mind behind this
that's making these decisions.

1019
01:00:05,570 --> 01:00:07,537
Where is that mind?

1020
01:00:07,572 --> 01:00:10,540
What kind of body is it in?

1021
01:00:14,345 --> 01:00:17,848
Scientists struggled
to find an explanation

1022
01:00:17,882 --> 01:00:22,452
for the phenomenon, until in
1991, two self-proclaimed

1023
01:00:22,487 --> 01:00:26,223
British pranksters, Doug Bower
and Dave Chorley, came forward

1024
01:00:26,290 --> 01:00:31,061
and proclaimed that they
were the ones responsible.

1025
01:00:31,062 --> 01:00:33,964
They showed how they could
make crop circles in a

1026
01:00:34,031 --> 01:00:36,867
single night using some
very simple tools.

1027
01:00:36,968 --> 01:00:39,970
And at the time, people said,
"Well, that must be the

1028
01:00:40,037 --> 01:00:41,304
explanation for it."

1029
01:00:41,372 --> 01:00:43,974
Nevertheless, some
researchers remain skeptical

1030
01:00:44,041 --> 01:00:48,745
that a single pair of elderly men
could have created literally

1031
01:00:48,779 --> 01:00:53,049
hundreds of designs in the dead
of night with little more than a

1032
01:00:53,151 --> 01:00:54,885
few boards and some rope.

1033
01:00:54,919 --> 01:00:57,220
You know, it was very effective.

1034
01:00:57,321 --> 01:01:00,157
You still will run into people--
"Crop circles-- oh, forget about

1035
01:01:00,224 --> 01:01:01,158
them.

1036
01:01:01,225 --> 01:01:03,693
Those two old guys made a...
come on, don't be so naive!

1037
01:01:03,761 --> 01:01:06,029
They-they were done by those
two old guys years ago.

1038
01:01:06,063 --> 01:01:08,498
"What are you paying
attention to them anymore?"

1039
01:01:08,533 --> 01:01:12,335
Very effective piece
of disinformation.

1040
01:01:12,370 --> 01:01:14,938
During the years that
followed Bower and

1041
01:01:14,972 --> 01:01:18,341
Chorley's confession, crop
circles continued to appear in

1042
01:01:18,409 --> 01:01:23,413
the English countryside and at
various locations around the world.

1043
01:01:23,447 --> 01:01:27,984
Some were inarguably the work
of artists or jokesters.

1044
01:01:28,052 --> 01:01:31,621
But after studying soil samples
and grain dispersion patterns

1045
01:01:31,689 --> 01:01:35,692
in the disturbed farmland,
researchers concluded that it

1046
01:01:35,726 --> 01:01:39,162
would be impossible for all of
these designs to be man-made.

1047
01:01:39,230 --> 01:01:41,898
Well, in what we would
consider to be a

1048
01:01:41,966 --> 01:01:44,067
mysterious crop circle, where
we can't identify it being made

1049
01:01:44,135 --> 01:01:46,136
by people-- the lay is
absolutely beautiful.

1050
01:01:46,170 --> 01:01:47,170
The lay of the crop.

1051
01:01:47,238 --> 01:01:49,906
It's like a million carpet
layers came down, and put these

1052
01:01:49,974 --> 01:01:53,910
stalks of grain down, right
parallel to one another.

1053
01:01:53,978 --> 01:01:56,546
It's just a gorgeous thing to behold.

1054
01:01:56,614 --> 01:01:59,082
When the hoaxers make them, they
tend to be sloppy and messy

1055
01:01:59,116 --> 01:02:01,718
because they're not...
they haven't got that same force.

1056
01:02:01,786 --> 01:02:04,721
They're doing handmade
manipulation, which doesn't lay

1057
01:02:04,755 --> 01:02:08,458
them down quite as beautifully.

1058
01:02:08,492 --> 01:02:13,196
In 1991, noted biophysicist Dr.
William

1059
01:02:13,264 --> 01:02:17,067
Levengood put forth a
startling new theory.

1060
01:02:17,101 --> 01:02:20,370
After spending ten years
studying crop circle sites and

1061
01:02:20,438 --> 01:02:24,975
samples, he concluded that they
were created by a complex energy

1062
01:02:25,009 --> 01:02:29,145
system, which he called a
spinning plasma vortex tt

1063
01:02:29,213 --> 01:02:34,351
comes down from somewhere
high up in the atmosphere.

1064
01:02:36,988 --> 01:02:41,224
Biophysicist vengood has
now analyzed 350-some

1065
01:02:41,259 --> 01:02:45,295
samples from crop
formations in his career.

1066
01:02:45,329 --> 01:02:48,965
Now, if Levengood were sitting
here with me, he would say, "All

1067
01:02:49,033 --> 01:02:53,770
I can do is, I can take you from
the ground-- I can take you from

1068
01:02:53,871 --> 01:02:56,406
the crops, up.

1069
01:02:56,474 --> 01:03:00,610
But I can't tell you what sets
in motion that spinning plasma

1070
01:03:00,678 --> 01:03:03,613
vortex in the first place.

1071
01:03:03,681 --> 01:03:07,517
"It's still a huge mystery."

1072
01:03:07,518 --> 01:03:10,053
The anomalous things that
happen inside crop circles

1073
01:03:10,087 --> 01:03:12,589
are in fact one of the
indications that you're in a

1074
01:03:12,623 --> 01:03:16,960
so-called genuine circle because
indeed the weirdest things happen.

1075
01:03:16,994 --> 01:03:18,962
Batteries fail-- brand-new batteries.

1076
01:03:19,063 --> 01:03:20,297
People go in with cameras.

1077
01:03:20,331 --> 01:03:21,798
Cell phones don't work.

1078
01:03:21,866 --> 01:03:23,967
There have been people
who have started reading

1079
01:03:24,001 --> 01:03:26,970
all kinds of messages
into these crop circles.

1080
01:03:27,004 --> 01:03:30,240
Uh, that they have some kind of
digital significance that-that

1081
01:03:30,308 --> 01:03:31,508
you can read.

1082
01:03:31,542 --> 01:03:34,678
There's a kind of numerology, and
there'll be a kind of message.

1083
01:03:34,712 --> 01:03:39,349
People are really reading
something into it.

1084
01:03:39,417 --> 01:03:42,252
In terms of who or what
is delivering them-- we

1085
01:03:42,286 --> 01:03:43,520
have no way to know that.

1086
01:03:43,587 --> 01:03:47,457
We only have science fiction that
tells us what's coming to visit us.

1087
01:03:47,525 --> 01:03:50,994
So, we have to just speculate about
where this might be coming from.

1088
01:03:51,062 --> 01:03:54,898
We have to wait for whatever the
source is to introduce itself to us.

1089
01:03:54,899 --> 01:03:58,168
Are we dealing with time travelers?

1090
01:03:58,202 --> 01:04:01,438
Are we dealing with spiritual
forces from some dimension

1091
01:04:01,472 --> 01:04:03,473
we don't understand?

1092
01:04:03,474 --> 01:04:06,509
Are we dealing with advanced
intelligences that are not even

1093
01:04:06,544 --> 01:04:09,979
in this galaxy, that are
from someplace else?

1094
01:04:10,014 --> 01:04:12,982
And is this a form of communication?

1095
01:04:13,017 --> 01:04:15,785
The conversations keep getting
more and more complicated.

1096
01:04:15,820 --> 01:04:18,021
Crop circles are contact.

1097
01:04:18,055 --> 01:04:19,022
We are being contacted.

1098
01:04:19,056 --> 01:04:21,691
Just because we don't have the
bodies to shake hands with, we

1099
01:04:21,759 --> 01:04:24,527
have the evidence that
the bodies have left us.

1100
01:04:24,595 --> 01:04:27,063
I'm absolutely convinced that
crop circles are evidence of

1101
01:04:27,131 --> 01:04:28,331
intelligent life.

1102
01:04:28,366 --> 01:04:32,302
There is intelligence bombarding
us, winking at us, waving.

1103
01:04:32,336 --> 01:04:37,340
Are these mysterious crop
circles messages or warnings?

1104
01:04:37,441 --> 01:04:41,711
Or might they have another,
perhaps more profound, purpose?

1105
01:04:41,779 --> 01:04:45,882
Could they be futuristic clues
guiding us to our ultimate

1106
01:04:45,950 --> 01:04:51,688
destiny or ancient symbols
paving the way for our ultimate

1107
01:04:51,722 --> 01:04:54,991
destruction?

1108
01:04:58,025 --> 01:05:02,094
Belize, Central America.

1109
01:05:02,129 --> 01:05:06,666
In 1924 British adventurer
Frederick Mitchell-Hedges

1110
01:05:06,700 --> 01:05:10,736
traveled here with his daughter
Anna to explore the ruins of the

1111
01:05:10,771 --> 01:05:13,773
ancient Mayan city of Lubaantun.

1112
01:05:13,841 --> 01:05:18,044
One afternoon Anna climbed to
the top of a crumbling pyramid,

1113
01:05:18,111 --> 01:05:19,846
hoping to see the ocean.

1114
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:22,415
It was high noon and she
was at the top, and the

1115
01:05:22,449 --> 01:05:25,585
way the sun came in, the way the
rocks had moved in that there

1116
01:05:25,619 --> 01:05:28,221
was just a small opening and the
light from the sun went through

1117
01:05:28,288 --> 01:05:31,324
and it hit the top of the skull,
and she ran down and she's all

1118
01:05:31,391 --> 01:05:33,392
excited.

1119
01:05:33,393 --> 01:05:36,195
She said "There's someone in
there with a flashlight."

1120
01:05:36,230 --> 01:05:39,599
Anna's father and others
in their party were too

1121
01:05:39,633 --> 01:05:43,603
large to fit inside the small
opening of the pyramid, so they

1122
01:05:43,670 --> 01:05:48,341
tied a rope around Anna and
lowered her into the hole.

1123
01:05:48,375 --> 01:05:53,779
When she came back up, Anna held the
top of a strange crystal skull.

1124
01:05:53,814 --> 01:05:57,383
A second search uncovered
a matching jaw.

1125
01:05:57,417 --> 01:06:01,587
The two-piece skull weighed
11 pounds, seven ounces and

1126
01:06:01,622 --> 01:06:05,925
appeared to be carved from a
single piece of rock crystal.

1127
01:06:05,926 --> 01:06:09,962
It's the only crystal skull which
is almost perfectly humanoid.

1128
01:06:10,030 --> 01:06:13,599
It's the only crystal skull
which has a detachable jaw, and

1129
01:06:13,667 --> 01:06:16,335
when I say "almost perfectly
humanoid," the one thing which

1130
01:06:16,370 --> 01:06:19,839
is missing is the
sutures on the cranium.

1131
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,708
It has a perfect cranium.

1132
01:06:22,743 --> 01:06:25,878
So it almost suggests that, even
though it's a human crystal

1133
01:06:25,913 --> 01:06:29,148
skull, those who were carving it
somehow felt that this creature

1134
01:06:29,182 --> 01:06:30,149
was not born.

1135
01:06:30,183 --> 01:06:33,886
It somehow came into
this world perfectly.

1136
01:06:33,921 --> 01:06:36,822
The skull's appearance
created an immediate

1137
01:06:36,890 --> 01:06:39,425
sensation among the local tribesmen.

1138
01:06:39,459 --> 01:06:43,162
When the natives saw it, it was
like their god had returned.

1139
01:06:43,196 --> 01:06:46,399
They all started crying and
kissing the earth and everything.

1140
01:06:46,433 --> 01:06:50,069
They were just so excited, and
Mitchell-Hedges seeing this, he

1141
01:06:50,103 --> 01:06:54,340
presented it to the high priest
and they put it in an altar, and

1142
01:06:54,374 --> 01:07:00,813
for 24 hours a day they burned flames
around the, the crystal skull.

1143
01:07:00,881 --> 01:07:05,017
The Mayan elders believed
that, in ancient times,

1144
01:07:05,052 --> 01:07:09,989
13 crystal skulls were buried in
secret places around the world.

1145
01:07:10,023 --> 01:07:13,592
Currently it is claimed
that seven have been found.

1146
01:07:13,593 --> 01:07:17,730
Four are in private collections
and one each in the British

1147
01:07:17,764 --> 01:07:22,802
Museum, the Smithsonian, and the
Quai Branly Museum in Paris.

1148
01:07:22,836 --> 01:07:25,738
All have been the focus
of intense examination,

1149
01:07:25,806 --> 01:07:29,675
speculation, and even worship.

1150
01:07:29,710 --> 01:07:33,079
A lot of natives and a lot of people

1151
01:07:33,146 --> 01:07:36,716
working with crystal skulls say
that the high quartz content

1152
01:07:36,783 --> 01:07:40,686
skulls and especially the quartz
skulls themselves is the highest

1153
01:07:40,721 --> 01:07:46,258
frequency or energy or vibration
possible on the physical plane,

1154
01:07:46,293 --> 01:07:49,795
and so a lot of native people
kind of worshipped or took care

1155
01:07:49,830 --> 01:07:54,100
of these objects because they
knew that they had or felt that

1156
01:07:54,134 --> 01:07:59,372
they had the highest energy
possible on the earth plane.

1157
01:08:01,508 --> 01:08:08,080
But what are the exact origins of
these mysterious crystal skulls?

1158
01:08:08,148 --> 01:08:11,283
Since their discovery,
scientific tests have

1159
01:08:11,318 --> 01:08:14,720
determined that the two owned
by the British Museum and the

1160
01:08:14,755 --> 01:08:19,725
Quai Branly were not authentic
pre-Columbian artifacts.

1161
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:24,897
Could it be that the Mitchell-
Hedges skull was also a fake?

1162
01:08:24,931 --> 01:08:29,702
In the 196os it underwent
extensive testing by art curator

1163
01:08:29,736 --> 01:08:32,338
Frank Dorland and the
Hewlett- Packard Company.

1164
01:08:32,406 --> 01:08:35,775
They used the most advanced
stuff that they had.

1165
01:08:35,809 --> 01:08:39,979
They could not find any marks
on it except for around the jaw

1166
01:08:40,013 --> 01:08:42,448
and, I think, a little bit
around the eyes-- the only place

1167
01:08:42,516 --> 01:08:46,185
they saw tool marks
using their techniques.

1168
01:08:46,219 --> 01:08:49,088
At the time, Hewlett-Packard
found that the temperature

1169
01:08:49,156 --> 01:08:52,358
always stays about the same
temperature, no matter if it's

1170
01:08:52,426 --> 01:08:53,893
in hot or cold.

1171
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,729
It was carved against the
lines of the crystal.

1172
01:08:56,763 --> 01:09:00,433
If anybody tried to do that, it
would break into a thousand pieces.

1173
01:09:00,467 --> 01:09:04,904
It's made out of a high level of
electronic crystal, and they're

1174
01:09:04,971 --> 01:09:07,807
not really sure exactly
where it came from.

1175
01:09:07,841 --> 01:09:11,811
If you listen to the academics,
crystal skulls are

1176
01:09:11,845 --> 01:09:15,915
all modern fabrications, meaning
somebody has gone on there with

1177
01:09:15,982 --> 01:09:19,919
a wheel and has carved them as
such, and this is where the big

1178
01:09:19,953 --> 01:09:23,389
divide is between established
academics and alternative

1179
01:09:23,457 --> 01:09:27,259
researchers like myself, who
feel that the academics are not

1180
01:09:27,294 --> 01:09:29,728
using all the available evidence
to draw their conclusions, and,

1181
01:09:29,796 --> 01:09:32,098
in short, we believe that the
academics are wrong in their

1182
01:09:32,132 --> 01:09:33,799
conclusions.

1183
01:09:38,505 --> 01:09:42,741
Are these skulls really
ancient artifacts?

1184
01:09:42,809 --> 01:09:47,313
And if not, who or what carved them?

1185
01:09:47,314 --> 01:09:50,850
Crystal skulls, according
to certain stories,

1186
01:09:50,884 --> 01:09:54,386
yes, they are alien artifacts.

1187
01:09:54,421 --> 01:09:58,424
Even some people think they're
made on another planet.

1188
01:10:01,228 --> 01:10:04,763
I think there are links
between crystal skulls and

1189
01:10:04,831 --> 01:10:07,867
extraterrestrials, not
necessarily that they were

1190
01:10:07,934 --> 01:10:11,036
carved and created by
extraterrestrials.

1191
01:10:11,071 --> 01:10:14,773
I've been told they were created
by humans, but they were created

1192
01:10:14,841 --> 01:10:20,012
specifically to hold records
from alien civilizations.

1193
01:10:20,046 --> 01:10:23,315
Could there actually
be some type of coded

1194
01:10:23,383 --> 01:10:27,052
information stored
inside these skulls?

1195
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:30,856
And if there is, how
could it be retrieved?

1196
01:10:30,924 --> 01:10:34,226
There is a legend that
there were 13 skulls and

1197
01:10:34,261 --> 01:10:38,864
that when the 13 skulls come
together, then something

1198
01:10:38,899 --> 01:10:42,968
significant will change in the world.

1199
01:10:43,036 --> 01:10:46,672
Legends suggest that
there are 12 additional

1200
01:10:46,706 --> 01:10:52,578
worlds out there, planets which are
inhabited by intelligent species.

1201
01:10:52,579 --> 01:10:59,051
Now, we belong to those worlds
or to those planets, and our

1202
01:10:59,119 --> 01:11:05,291
planet Earth is called
"planet of the children."

1203
01:11:05,292 --> 01:11:11,230
They also suggest that these 13
crystal skulls that allegedly

1204
01:11:11,264 --> 01:11:17,703
exist on planet Earth were each
brought here from one of those

1205
01:11:17,737 --> 01:11:25,878
12 planets... and the 13th skull
is the one that apparently

1206
01:11:25,946 --> 01:11:31,884
contains all of the information
of all those 12 different worlds.

1207
01:11:31,952 --> 01:11:35,054
Within each crystal
skull, information is

1208
01:11:35,088 --> 01:11:38,457
stored, and in fact IBM has
shown that, too, that quartz

1209
01:11:38,525 --> 01:11:43,462
crystal can store millions of
gigabytes of information, and,

1210
01:11:43,530 --> 01:11:47,967
in fact, any quartz crystal or a
crystal skull could hold much

1211
01:11:48,001 --> 01:11:53,439
more information than any
computer we have now.

1212
01:11:53,473 --> 01:11:57,509
So when these crystal skulls
would be brought together, they

1213
01:11:57,544 --> 01:12:04,917
begin to interface with each other...
and ultimately a

1214
01:12:04,951 --> 01:12:10,089
greater knowledge and
information is condensed and

1215
01:12:10,156 --> 01:12:14,293
brought to us, and that's the
legend of the crystal skulls.

1216
01:12:14,327 --> 01:12:18,364
But as ancient astronaut
theorists maintain,

1217
01:12:18,398 --> 01:12:23,102
why would visiting aliens have given
the crystal skull to the Maya?

1218
01:12:23,169 --> 01:12:24,370
To what purpose?

1219
01:12:24,404 --> 01:12:27,306
The skull is a very important
motif for the Mayans.

1220
01:12:27,374 --> 01:12:30,442
When you look around the Mayan
monuments, you see skulls carved

1221
01:12:30,477 --> 01:12:32,711
pretty much everywhere.

1222
01:12:32,746 --> 01:12:35,914
They use it for some of the
notations for calendars.

1223
01:12:35,982 --> 01:12:40,019
And it is the Mayan calendar
that many people refer

1224
01:12:40,086 --> 01:12:44,023
to when discussing the
possibility of a new Armageddon.

1225
01:12:44,057 --> 01:12:47,393
Are the skulls somehow linked to this?

1226
01:12:47,427 --> 01:12:52,364
The current keeper of the Mitchell-Hedges
skull believes they are.

1227
01:12:52,399 --> 01:12:55,834
We've got 2012 just a few years away.

1228
01:12:55,869 --> 01:12:58,937
All these different things are
happening, the wars, et cetera,

1229
01:12:59,005 --> 01:13:02,474
and I think the skulls are
coming forward to do what they

1230
01:13:02,542 --> 01:13:04,109
were... they were made to do.

1231
01:13:04,144 --> 01:13:06,679
But are these skulls
the trigger that will

1232
01:13:06,746 --> 01:13:10,049
begin the dawn of a new era?

1233
01:13:10,083 --> 01:13:13,686
Or will they simply be used
as a tool by some form of

1234
01:13:13,720 --> 01:13:18,057
extraterrestrial intelligence to
guide mankind to its next stage

1235
01:13:18,124 --> 01:13:19,391
of evolution?

1236
01:13:19,459 --> 01:13:23,962
If so, is this intelligence
waiting and watching for the

1237
01:13:24,030 --> 01:13:25,564
right moment?

1238
01:13:25,598 --> 01:13:29,401
And from where exactly
could it be watching us?

1239
01:13:36,722 --> 01:13:43,361
If extraterrestrial beings do exist
in the universe, where are they?

1240
01:13:43,396 --> 01:13:47,032
That was the question posed by
Enrico Fermi, one of the leading

1241
01:13:47,099 --> 01:13:50,535
scientists of the 20th century.

1242
01:13:52,605 --> 01:13:56,675
Shortly after the Second
World War, the famous

1243
01:13:56,742 --> 01:14:00,478
physicist Enrico Fermi, who was
taking part in the Manhattan

1244
01:14:00,546 --> 01:14:03,715
Project to build the atomic
bomb, was talking at Los Alamos

1245
01:14:03,749 --> 01:14:07,852
with some friends about the
reports of flying saucers, and

1246
01:14:07,887 --> 01:14:13,325
Fermi suddenly said, in relation
to extraterrestrial intelligent

1247
01:14:13,392 --> 01:14:14,593
beings, "Where are they?"

1248
01:14:14,660 --> 01:14:18,129
And he was simply making the
point that if there was a

1249
01:14:18,197 --> 01:14:22,500
civilization somewhere in the
galaxy that had arisen, say, 100

1250
01:14:22,568 --> 01:14:25,870
million years ago, then they had
plenty of time to spread across

1251
01:14:25,905 --> 01:14:27,472
the galaxy.

1252
01:14:27,506 --> 01:14:31,209
Fermi said, "Gee, if
there's all of these

1253
01:14:31,244 --> 01:14:34,112
civilizations out there and all
of these planets out there,

1254
01:14:34,146 --> 01:14:36,781
"where is everybody?"

1255
01:14:36,816 --> 01:14:40,318
The Fermi paradox, as
it became known, was an

1256
01:14:40,386 --> 01:14:44,522
attempt to explain the lack of
evidence of aliens despite the

1257
01:14:44,557 --> 01:14:47,392
mathematical probability
of their existence.

1258
01:14:47,426 --> 01:14:50,128
Up unto this point, to
modern time, no credible

1259
01:14:50,162 --> 01:14:53,698
scholar, no credible scientist
looks at any of the evidence

1260
01:14:53,733 --> 01:14:57,135
that ancient alien enthusiasts
put forth and say, "Yes, this is

1261
01:14:57,169 --> 01:14:58,870
evidence of ancient aliens."

1262
01:14:58,938 --> 01:15:00,972
No credible scholar does that.

1263
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:04,142
Moreover, the whole SETI project-- the

1264
01:15:04,176 --> 01:15:06,811
Search for Extra-Terrestrial
Intelligence-- it's been going

1265
01:15:06,879 --> 01:15:10,181
on now for nearly 50 years.

1266
01:15:10,182 --> 01:15:14,252
The fact that we have found no
radio telescope evidence of

1267
01:15:14,287 --> 01:15:19,157
extraterrestrials plays very
much into the Fermi paradox in

1268
01:15:19,225 --> 01:15:24,996
that it further indicates: if
they're out there, why aren't

1269
01:15:25,031 --> 01:15:26,264
we hearing from them?

1270
01:15:26,299 --> 01:15:33,004
And we don't seem to
be hearing from them.

1271
01:15:33,072 --> 01:15:37,909
But in the 196os, MIT
astrophysicist John Ball

1272
01:15:37,977 --> 01:15:40,445
rebutted Fermi's hypothesis with

1273
01:15:42,882 --> 01:15:44,616
the zoo hypothesis.

1274
01:15:44,650 --> 01:15:48,787
The zoo hypothesis says
that we are in a zoo, or a

1275
01:15:48,854 --> 01:15:53,792
wilderness area, that they have
essentially left alone and are

1276
01:15:53,859 --> 01:15:57,862
going to leave alone to allow us
to develop in our own way and at

1277
01:15:57,897 --> 01:15:59,331
our own rate.

1278
01:15:59,398 --> 01:16:03,935
Extraterrestrials have
detected us on Earth, but have

1279
01:16:03,969 --> 01:16:09,874
chosen not to come here, not to
invade, but rather to observe us

1280
01:16:09,942 --> 01:16:15,347
as we observe animals in the zoo.

1281
01:16:15,381 --> 01:16:19,050
They've thought, "We'll do a
study of those earthlings and

1282
01:16:19,085 --> 01:16:22,253
see what sort of
people they are."

1283
01:16:22,321 --> 01:16:24,255
Now, why would they do this?

1284
01:16:24,290 --> 01:16:27,726
Well, if on the one hand we
have nothing they want, that's

1285
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,427
surely true.

1286
01:16:29,495 --> 01:16:33,264
And on the other hand, we
aren't able to interfere with

1287
01:16:33,332 --> 01:16:34,532
whatever they're doing.

1288
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,434
That's also surely true.

1289
01:16:36,469 --> 01:16:39,170
They're out there doing their
own thing, and they're not

1290
01:16:39,238 --> 01:16:40,372
paying any attention to us.

1291
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:47,345
And we're not clever enough to
eavesdrop on whatever they're doing.

1292
01:16:47,346 --> 01:16:49,814
That's the predicament we're in.

1293
01:16:49,849 --> 01:16:53,251
We have something that is
looking down and monitoring us.

1294
01:16:53,252 --> 01:16:57,722
We are on the Petri dish and
we can't get out far enough to

1295
01:16:57,757 --> 01:17:05,430
see what's behind those eyes
behind that microscope.

1296
01:17:06,866 --> 01:17:11,102
If aliens are watching us
right now, where are they?

1297
01:17:11,137 --> 01:17:14,639
Some believe they are sitting
out in space in what are called

1298
01:17:14,673 --> 01:17:18,243
"Lagrange points named after
mathematician and astronomer"

1299
01:17:18,277 --> 01:17:23,214
Joseph Lagrange, who
discovered them in 1772.

1300
01:17:23,249 --> 01:17:27,218
There are five of these points
between the sun, the Earth and

1301
01:17:27,253 --> 01:17:28,420
our moon.

1302
01:17:28,421 --> 01:17:30,989
Lagrange points are
points between two bodies

1303
01:17:31,023 --> 01:17:32,791
where the forces balance equally.

1304
01:17:32,825 --> 01:17:35,427
Think of, like, a seesaw when you
have one really heavy person

1305
01:17:35,494 --> 01:17:36,494
and one really light person.

1306
01:17:36,529 --> 01:17:38,897
There's a kind of bance point
in there, and that's what

1307
01:17:38,931 --> 01:17:41,099
a Lagrange point is.

1308
01:17:41,100 --> 01:17:45,236
Lagrange points is where we send
some of our own satellites.

1309
01:17:45,271 --> 01:17:48,206
And that's a point in space
where you can just sort of sit

1310
01:17:48,274 --> 01:17:50,608
there inert for millions of
years if you had to without

1311
01:17:50,643 --> 01:17:53,044
having to worry about
in course corrections.

1312
01:17:53,045 --> 01:17:56,781
If you go anywhere else in the
solar system, uh, then in

1313
01:17:56,816 --> 01:17:59,517
order to keep pace with Earth
as it orbits the sun, you've

1314
01:17:59,552 --> 01:18:02,987
got to continually
change your position.

1315
01:18:02,988 --> 01:18:04,989
So people have talked
about Lagrange points

1316
01:18:05,057 --> 01:18:07,258
as a place where a spacecraft
might hide out because

1317
01:18:07,293 --> 01:18:10,261
you don't have to do a lot
to stay in that spot.

1318
01:18:10,296 --> 01:18:13,832
It's sort of equally balanced
and you just get carried along.

1319
01:18:13,833 --> 01:18:17,268
If an extraterrestrial race would have

1320
01:18:17,303 --> 01:18:21,105
ever visited our solar system,
they would have placed a probe

1321
01:18:21,173 --> 01:18:26,110
in those specific points in
order to observe us, to record

1322
01:18:26,145 --> 01:18:27,345
us, what have you.

1323
01:18:27,379 --> 01:18:30,748
So, I mean, this is not
something that the ancient

1324
01:18:30,816 --> 01:18:32,650
astronaut theory has proposed.

1325
01:18:32,651 --> 01:18:37,555
This is, you know, university
professors, astrophysicists who

1326
01:18:37,590 --> 01:18:41,759
have proposed this.

1327
01:18:41,827 --> 01:18:44,662
Some argue that another
reason alien beings

1328
01:18:44,697 --> 01:18:48,032
have yet to reveal themselves
is because they don't yet

1329
01:18:48,100 --> 01:18:49,400
consider us worthy.

1330
01:18:49,435 --> 01:18:54,439
This forms the basis of John
Ball's jungle hypothesis.

1331
01:18:54,440 --> 01:18:59,677
The jungle hypothesis just
means that if you have

1332
01:18:59,712 --> 01:19:03,581
animals, such as ants, that live
in the jungle, no matter how

1333
01:19:03,616 --> 01:19:06,684
many of them you have, their
chances of ever having seen

1334
01:19:06,752 --> 01:19:09,754
a human being are very slim.

1335
01:19:09,755 --> 01:19:12,824
Not because we're hiding or
anything, but we just don't have

1336
01:19:12,858 --> 01:19:15,860
a reason to go into the
jungle and step on anthills.

1337
01:19:15,928 --> 01:19:20,865
So, the idea is that we are
probably related to advanced

1338
01:19:20,900 --> 01:19:25,036
extraterrestrial intelligence
similar to an anthill might be

1339
01:19:25,104 --> 01:19:26,838
related to humans.

1340
01:19:26,872 --> 01:19:30,375
And the fact that we've never
seen any extraterrestrial

1341
01:19:30,409 --> 01:19:34,879
intelligence is just we don't
have anything they want.

1342
01:19:34,914 --> 01:19:38,316
We could actually shake hands
with something that might

1343
01:19:38,384 --> 01:19:41,219
have been coming and going
on this planet for literally

1344
01:19:41,253 --> 01:19:46,424
thousands, perhaps millions, of
years, and has kept a distance

1345
01:19:46,458 --> 01:19:52,397
during the last age of man for
reasons unknown, and maybe is

1346
01:19:52,431 --> 01:19:57,669
waiting for us all to finally grow up.

1347
01:19:57,670 --> 01:20:00,705
One thing that can be
said with a great deal of

1348
01:20:00,739 --> 01:20:07,145
confidence is that, if the
contact is initiated by them,

1349
01:20:07,179 --> 01:20:11,516
they are going to be not only
superior to us, but greatly

1350
01:20:11,584 --> 01:20:15,019
superior to us.

1351
01:20:15,020 --> 01:20:19,324
They won't be just
beginners like we are.

1352
01:20:19,391 --> 01:20:26,197
They will be far more
advanced than we are.

1353
01:20:31,136 --> 01:20:34,472
Both the jungle and zoo
hypotheses propose that

1354
01:20:34,506 --> 01:20:39,043
alien beings are watching us,
but are, for the time being,

1355
01:20:39,078 --> 01:20:41,946
keeping their distance.

1356
01:20:41,981 --> 01:20:43,514
But what if they're not?

1357
01:20:43,582 --> 01:20:47,585
What if the alien mission was
to integrate with our society

1358
01:20:47,653 --> 01:20:49,887
in a way that avoids detection?

1359
01:20:49,922 --> 01:20:56,694
If so, might they be walking
among us right now?

1360
01:20:59,383 --> 01:21:02,385
According to the ancient
astronaut theory,

1361
01:21:02,453 --> 01:21:06,723
aliens may have come to Earth
for many reasons: to excavate,

1362
01:21:06,757 --> 01:21:12,028
to breed, to conquer,
or simply to explore.

1363
01:21:12,129 --> 01:21:14,764
Certainly, we want to go out
and find out about things

1364
01:21:14,832 --> 01:21:15,632
we don't know about.

1365
01:21:15,666 --> 01:21:16,499
We see the moon.

1366
01:21:16,534 --> 01:21:19,202
We want to go up to the moon
and find out more things about

1367
01:21:19,237 --> 01:21:21,438
it; we see Mars, we want to go there.

1368
01:21:21,472 --> 01:21:22,505
We want to go to Jupiter.

1369
01:21:22,506 --> 01:21:23,473
We send out our probes.

1370
01:21:23,507 --> 01:21:26,843
So, if aliens are something
like us, then perhaps they have

1371
01:21:26,877 --> 01:21:28,411
that same kind of motivation.

1372
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,248
They just want to go learn.

1373
01:21:31,249 --> 01:21:34,384
Just like we exhibit
curiosity, there are

1374
01:21:34,418 --> 01:21:41,758
other species out there
that have the same trait.

1375
01:21:41,759 --> 01:21:44,961
It would be very egotistical
to think that we're the only

1376
01:21:45,029 --> 01:21:48,131
explorers in this galaxy.

1377
01:21:48,199 --> 01:21:51,968
I mean, that would be a very sad
statement to suggest we're the

1378
01:21:52,036 --> 01:21:59,242
only ones with a brain and want
to go out there and explore.

1379
01:21:59,277 --> 01:22:02,112
But while our own journeys
into space have been

1380
01:22:02,146 --> 01:22:05,882
brief and largely exploratory,
could other beings, traveling

1381
01:22:05,950 --> 01:22:09,152
millions of miles to
Earth, have stayed?

1382
01:22:09,220 --> 01:22:14,257
And, if so, might they
still be among us?

1383
01:22:14,258 --> 01:22:16,893
Many ancient astronaut
theorists think this

1384
01:22:16,961 --> 01:22:20,597
all happened in the past and the
extraterrestrials came here,

1385
01:22:20,631 --> 01:22:23,433
did this and did that, and then
they took off back to their own

1386
01:22:23,467 --> 01:22:25,468
planet.

1387
01:22:25,469 --> 01:22:28,405
But there's a lot of evidence
to show that extraterrestrials

1388
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:33,176
who might have come here in
the past, they've never left.

1389
01:22:33,244 --> 01:22:37,614
They have bases somewhere on
the planet underneath the

1390
01:22:37,648 --> 01:22:42,218
oceans, inside mountains.

1391
01:22:42,253 --> 01:22:46,423
In South America, there is
very strong beliefs that many

1392
01:22:46,457 --> 01:22:52,696
UFOs come out of lakes and underwater.

1393
01:22:52,763 --> 01:22:57,400
Lake Titicaca and other lakes
in Peru and Bolivia and other

1394
01:22:57,435 --> 01:23:02,405
areas of South America have
some kind of underground,

1395
01:23:02,440 --> 01:23:09,512
underwater alien base
associated with them.

1396
01:23:11,449 --> 01:23:15,051
If aliens were coming to our
planet, there seems little

1397
01:23:15,119 --> 01:23:21,257
doubt that they would stop at
the moon on their way here.

1398
01:23:21,325 --> 01:23:26,129
The moon itself is kind
of the eye in the sky.

1399
01:23:26,163 --> 01:23:33,436
NASA says that the moon
is apparently hollow.

1400
01:23:33,471 --> 01:23:40,610
During the Apollo missions, the
command module crashed into the moon.

1401
01:23:40,678 --> 01:23:45,148
And the moon rang like
a bell for hours.

1402
01:23:45,182 --> 01:23:49,819
There are craters on the moon
which they cannot find a bottom

1403
01:23:49,887 --> 01:23:54,157
to, and it's thought, by
some researchers, that these

1404
01:23:54,191 --> 01:24:00,163
bottomless craters are
entrances inside our moon.

1405
01:24:05,169 --> 01:24:09,806
The whole enigma of the moon
gets weirder and weirder the

1406
01:24:09,874 --> 01:24:11,007
more you know it.

1407
01:24:11,075 --> 01:24:14,444
Was the moon actually brought
here from another solar system

1408
01:24:14,512 --> 01:24:18,181
and put into orbit around our planet?

1409
01:24:18,282 --> 01:24:21,918
Biologists say that life on
this planet could never have

1410
01:24:21,952 --> 01:24:24,888
occurred without our moon.

1411
01:24:24,922 --> 01:24:29,459
And the reason for that is that the
moon creates the tidal effect.

1412
01:24:29,527 --> 01:24:34,464
And without the effect of tides
and this rhythmic motion on the

1413
01:24:34,532 --> 01:24:42,005
oceans, life would never
have begun on this planet.

1414
01:24:46,210 --> 01:24:49,479
In my mind, the evidence is
there that the moon is a

1415
01:24:49,547 --> 01:24:56,119
gigantic spaceship in
orbit around our planet.

1416
01:24:56,187 --> 01:25:01,658
It's occupied by some
extraterrestrial race.

1417
01:25:01,692 --> 01:25:07,197
In many ways, it's much like
the George Lucas Death Star

1418
01:25:07,264 --> 01:25:09,732
<i>concept in Star Wars where</i>

1419
01:25:09,767 --> 01:25:13,837
they're building this artificial
moon that's capable, with

1420
01:25:13,904 --> 01:25:19,776
technology, of actually
destroying a planet.

1421
01:25:19,844 --> 01:25:23,179
But if alien beings are
using the moon as some

1422
01:25:23,214 --> 01:25:27,283
sort of satellite for
Earth observation, why?

1423
01:25:27,318 --> 01:25:29,552
What would be the purpose?

1424
01:25:29,587 --> 01:25:31,855
And where is the proof?

1425
01:25:31,922 --> 01:25:34,858
They would like to see us evolve.

1426
01:25:34,859 --> 01:25:41,030
You know, they are great masters, great...
avatars.

1427
01:25:41,065 --> 01:25:43,933
They are very high.

1428
01:25:43,934 --> 01:25:45,935
And so are we.

1429
01:25:45,970 --> 01:25:50,573
And we need to live
up to our potential.

1430
01:25:50,608 --> 01:25:56,579
We really need to live up to
our potential for all people.

1431
01:25:56,614 --> 01:25:58,581
Your attention please.

1432
01:25:58,616 --> 01:26:03,052
Today, we are living still,
as if we are alone in

1433
01:26:03,087 --> 01:26:07,590
the universe while hundreds and
thousands of people are seeing

1434
01:26:07,625 --> 01:26:13,062
unusual craft in the skies
as they did 5,000 years ago.

1435
01:26:13,063 --> 01:26:18,601
And so, in a way, the idea that
the ancient aliens would finally

1436
01:26:18,636 --> 01:26:24,607
be coming around full circle
all the way into the 21st

1437
01:26:24,642 --> 01:26:28,778
century...
Us trying to push open a truth

1438
01:26:28,812 --> 01:26:34,651
that governments have suppressed
in the 20th century, is really

1439
01:26:34,685 --> 01:26:39,589
very ironic.

1440
01:26:39,623 --> 01:26:42,125
There are many diverse
and conflicting theories

1441
01:26:42,226 --> 01:26:45,662
concerning the idea that alien
astronauts have been visiting

1442
01:26:45,696 --> 01:26:47,964
the earth for centuries.

1443
01:26:47,998 --> 01:26:52,669
But perhaps the proof lies in
the most obvious place of all:

1444
01:26:52,703 --> 01:26:55,939
Right within ourselves.

1445
01:26:55,940 --> 01:27:00,043
Somewhere in our genes
it is coded that extra

1446
01:27:00,110 --> 01:27:04,447
terrestrials were here
thousands of years ago.

1447
01:27:04,448 --> 01:27:09,218
And it takes a certain time
before this message is open to

1448
01:27:09,286 --> 01:27:12,221
us, maybe in the brain.

1449
01:27:12,256 --> 01:27:15,391
I don't believe
extraterrestrials, E.T.s,

1450
01:27:15,459 --> 01:27:18,227
ancient astronauts are
the missing link.

1451
01:27:18,228 --> 01:27:21,598
I think what they very well
could be, they may be the

1452
01:27:21,632 --> 01:27:24,901
beginning of the link-- the link
that helped genetically alter

1453
01:27:24,935 --> 01:27:28,871
human beings, the link that
jump-started our civilization

1454
01:27:28,906 --> 01:27:30,239
the way we are today.

1455
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:35,712
It's very possible they came
down here and saw some creature,

1456
01:27:35,746 --> 01:27:37,280
and they said, "You know what?

1457
01:27:37,314 --> 01:27:38,915
We're going to jump-start this."

1458
01:27:38,983 --> 01:27:43,386
It may take another ten million
years for this thing to become

1459
01:27:43,420 --> 01:27:45,555
smart and intelligent.

1460
01:27:45,623 --> 01:27:47,357
So they created us.

1461
01:27:47,358 --> 01:27:50,358
And we're smart and intelligent now,
aren't we?

1462
01:27:50,359 --> 01:27:54,234
