1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
For centuries, mankind believed that life only existed here

2
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:06,740
on Earth.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:12,280
But today, many scientists agree that we are not alone.

4
00:00:12,380 --> 00:00:15,880
Practically every human civilization that has ever

5
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:24,060
existed tells us we are not alone in the cosmos.

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,000
A long, long time ago, extraterrestrials came here and

7
00:00:28,500 --> 00:00:35,500
through a targeted mutation of our genes, we became human.

8
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,580
We have, in theory, a worldwide civilization that

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,680
has extraterrestrials interacting with it.

10
00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:46,520
And human beings, as we are today,

11
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:52,220
who are possibly the genetic breeding of these aliens.

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,620
If we're being visited, they've probably always been here.

13
00:00:56,620 --> 00:00:59,180
Millions of people around the world

14
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,320
believe we have been visited in the past

15
00:01:01,420 --> 00:01:04,160
by extraterrestrial beings.

16
00:01:04,260 --> 00:01:07,020
But what if it were true?

17
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,500
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,900
And if so, why did they come here?

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,840
And just what was their mission?

20
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:27,620
What was their mission?

21
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,720
What was their mission?

22
00:01:29,820 --> 00:01:31,820
What was their mission?

23
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,920
What was their mission?

24
00:01:34,020 --> 00:01:36,020
What was their mission?

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,120
What was their mission?

26
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:40,220
What was their mission?

27
00:01:40,320 --> 00:01:42,320
What was their mission?

28
00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:44,420
What was their mission?

29
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,520
What was their mission?

30
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:48,620
What was their mission?

31
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,720
What was their mission?

32
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:52,820
What was their mission?

33
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,820
On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 mission

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,520
reached its destination.

35
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:05,320
And two men, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin,

36
00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:08,320
actually walked on the moon.

37
00:02:08,420 --> 00:02:11,220
They've got the flag up now, and you can see the stars and

38
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,220
stars from the limit.

39
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,220
They've got the flag up now.

40
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,220
Beautiful.

41
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,220
That's beautiful.

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,020
It was the first time in history that beings left their home

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,720
and traveled through space.

44
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:24,320
Were we really the first creatures in the universe capable

45
00:02:24,420 --> 00:02:27,320
of traveling to another world?

46
00:02:31,420 --> 00:02:34,820
Given the vastness of the universe and the billions of years

47
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:39,520
that it took to create our galaxy, is it so hard to imagine

48
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:43,820
that such a thing might have happened before?

49
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:47,820
Perhaps it's the first time in history that a human being

50
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:52,920
might have happened before, perhaps thousands of times

51
00:02:53,020 --> 00:02:56,920
and over the course of millions of years.

52
00:02:57,020 --> 00:03:03,920
The ancient alien astronaut theory presupposes that thousands

53
00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:08,620
and thousands of years ago, even before recorded history,

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,720
Earth was visited by astronauts from another world.

55
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,720
If alien beings did in fact travel to Earth, why?

56
00:03:19,820 --> 00:03:26,220
Did they come to explore, to plunder, to study, to hunt,

57
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,120
or to breed?

58
00:03:29,220 --> 00:03:31,820
When Armstrong and Aldrin explored their incredible

59
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:36,220
surroundings, they found the moon a barren landscape.

60
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,220
It seemed to offer little more than a lifeless oasis of rocks

61
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,220
and dust.

62
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:48,720
But in 1986, further testing determined that the lunar

63
00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:53,720
landscape actually contains a high amount of helium-3,

64
00:03:53,820 --> 00:03:57,520
an extremely powerful, non-polluting, non-radioactive

65
00:03:57,620 --> 00:03:59,120
fuel source.

66
00:04:01,820 --> 00:04:04,920
Experts estimate that a single space shuttle filled with

67
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:08,520
this material could satisfy all the energy needs in the United

68
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:11,320
States for an entire year.

69
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:18,520
Think of it, are matas of spaceships, mining the moon

70
00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:22,420
and other planets for natural resources?

71
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,620
Could this help explain why Earth might have served as a

72
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,120
destination for travelers from other worlds?

73
00:04:30,220 --> 00:04:33,220
We'd go out there with robot mining crews and eventually

74
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,420
human mining crews, mine those planets, extract the ore,

75
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,920
ships would come, they'd take the ore and bring them back.

76
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,420
Well, if we would do it, why wouldn't extraterrestrials?

77
00:04:48,620 --> 00:04:52,620
But if alien excavators did come to Earth perhaps thousands

78
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,720
of years ago, wouldn't there be evidence?

79
00:04:59,420 --> 00:05:03,720
Here, in what is now known as Iraq, lies what is commonly

80
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:07,420
regarded by historians and archaeologists as the cradle

81
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,320
of civilization.

82
00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:14,920
Between 3500 and 1900 BC, the fertile area between the

83
00:05:15,020 --> 00:05:18,620
Tigris and Euphrates rivers was the home of the Sumerian

84
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,720
people.

85
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:23,020
The Sumerians were one of the first cultures that built

86
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,920
actual cities with streets and a street grid, like almost

87
00:05:28,020 --> 00:05:30,920
like New York City where you have, you know, a square street

88
00:05:31,020 --> 00:05:31,920
grid.

89
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:35,220
They invented cobblestones.

90
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,320
They had a sewage system.

91
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,820
They were taught in an agriculture.

92
00:05:43,420 --> 00:05:47,020
The Sumerians also invented the first known writing system

93
00:05:47,420 --> 00:05:50,220
by using cuneiform script on clay tablets.

94
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,120
In the 19th century, archaeologists exploring the

95
00:05:55,220 --> 00:05:58,920
ancient ruins of Nineveh discovered 22,000 of these

96
00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:00,020
clay tablets.

97
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,320
When they were later translated, the texts described

98
00:06:04,420 --> 00:06:07,720
many stories similar to those found in the Judeo-Christian

99
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,720
Bible.

100
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,720
Virtually every story that's in Genesis, the Flood story,

101
00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:17,020
Adam and Eve story, they all have precedence with the

102
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,220
ancient Sumerians.

103
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:26,620
In 1976, author Zechariah Sitchin published his own

104
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,220
translations of the Sumerian texts in a series of books

105
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,220
called The Earth Chronicles.

106
00:06:33,620 --> 00:06:37,120
According to Sitchin, the clay tablets describe an alien

107
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:41,620
race known as the Anunnaki who came to Earth to mine gold.

108
00:06:43,820 --> 00:06:47,020
Zechariah Sitchin has essentially suggested that the

109
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,420
reason why we were visited in the remote past is because

110
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,120
the ancient astronauts home planet needed gold for their

111
00:06:56,220 --> 00:06:59,920
atmosphere and that their gold content in the atmosphere

112
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,320
was depleting.

113
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,820
So they came to Earth in order to mine gold and bring it back

114
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,120
to their home planet.

115
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,720
But why gold?

116
00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:21,620
What are the unique properties of this precious metal that

117
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,920
might make it important and worth traveling through the

118
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:25,020
galaxy for?

119
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,020
I think for extraterrestrials, gold would be an

120
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:33,820
important resource just like it is for us.

121
00:07:34,620 --> 00:07:37,720
If it's at all like our society, one of the major things

122
00:07:37,820 --> 00:07:39,520
that's going to be built on is electricity.

123
00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:42,520
And gold really is one of the top conductors and its

124
00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:46,120
maleability and its ability to make it into wires, use it

125
00:07:46,220 --> 00:07:48,820
in really small forms as nanoparticles, is going to make

126
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,220
it an incredible technological resource for any sort of

127
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,620
life forms that reach that level of dealing with

128
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,520
electricity and technology as we do.

129
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,820
One of the exciting directions is possibly as an energy

130
00:08:01,820 --> 00:08:05,520
source through properties called thermoelectric effects

131
00:08:05,620 --> 00:08:08,820
where it can take heat and turn it directly into electricity.

132
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,620
This would be obviously a very nice clean energy source.

133
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,920
With its capacity to create energy and conduct heat, some

134
00:08:18,020 --> 00:08:22,120
scientists believe gold may also be an invaluable asset in

135
00:08:22,220 --> 00:08:24,220
the construction of spaceships.

136
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:26,920
Gold actually reflects infrared light.

137
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,620
Infrared is basically light that's not quite red.

138
00:08:32,420 --> 00:08:35,320
And so you don't see it, but we interact with it as heat.

139
00:08:35,820 --> 00:08:38,220
The radiation will interact with your molecules and make

140
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,320
them vibrate faster and you'll feel that as heat.

141
00:08:40,620 --> 00:08:43,720
So it makes a great heat shield, partly because it's so

142
00:08:43,820 --> 00:08:46,020
malleable you can make it very thin, it's easy to work

143
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120
with and it has great properties for reflecting

144
00:08:48,220 --> 00:08:49,020
and heat protection.

145
00:08:53,220 --> 00:08:56,620
The only metal that really lasts is gold.

146
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,620
Gold is indestructible.

147
00:08:59,020 --> 00:09:03,220
All gold from ancient times still exists today.

148
00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:10,220
If you look at Zacharias' Sitchin's theories that ETs came

149
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,320
down from another planet in our solar system, which is on a

150
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:17,520
3600 year elliptical orbit, that they were running out of

151
00:09:17,620 --> 00:09:21,520
minerals and gold specifically that they somehow needed to

152
00:09:21,620 --> 00:09:23,420
line their atmosphere with.

153
00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:28,820
This extraterrestrial stage is first measure our planet and

154
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,420
they have the instrument to find out where on this planet

155
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,420
do we find raw material.

156
00:09:35,420 --> 00:09:39,420
Through their incredible equipment, they find a planet

157
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:40,820
that has this.

158
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,120
It's got gold.

159
00:09:42,220 --> 00:09:44,920
So they decide we're going to go there and we're going to

160
00:09:45,020 --> 00:09:45,420
mine.

161
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,420
So they send some expeditions to planet Earth.

162
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,320
All of a sudden they get here and the factions begin to

163
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,020
say, well, there's a lot of gold here, but we're not digging

164
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:56,920
it out.

165
00:09:57,020 --> 00:09:57,920
What are we going to do?

166
00:09:58,020 --> 00:09:59,120
We need workers.

167
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,520
The story that came down to the Samaritans is that the Anunnaki

168
00:10:04,620 --> 00:10:11,020
were mining gold on the Earth and the run of the mill workers

169
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,420
complained that this is really hard work and we're tired.

170
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,420
We don't want to do this anymore.

171
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,120
And so they had a big council.

172
00:10:18,220 --> 00:10:21,120
They decided to create a primitive worker called the

173
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Anudamo.

174
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:29,520
So they look at what is on this planet and that is Homo erectus

175
00:10:29,620 --> 00:10:32,520
and they say, well, they're not very intelligent and they're

176
00:10:32,620 --> 00:10:33,920
not going to listen to us.

177
00:10:34,020 --> 00:10:36,520
So we're going to genetically alter them.

178
00:10:37,620 --> 00:10:41,120
The Anunnaki created humans as a slave species.

179
00:10:41,220 --> 00:10:44,720
According to Zechariah's sitchin, the Adamu were the

180
00:10:44,820 --> 00:10:46,720
first modern humans.

181
00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:49,320
They were created by the Anunnaki.

182
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,520
450,000 years ago when they genetically mixed their DNA with

183
00:10:54,620 --> 00:10:56,120
that of prehistoric man.

184
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,720
They took one cell of one of these ancestors of us.

185
00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:06,520
They changed the cell by an artificial mutation.

186
00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:09,720
They changed the DNA code what our genetics are doing every

187
00:11:09,820 --> 00:11:10,420
day.

188
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,320
It's carved in their stone.

189
00:11:12,420 --> 00:11:14,520
This is not something made up.

190
00:11:14,620 --> 00:11:16,920
This is part of the Samarian history.

191
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,120
They believed that the gods came down and created them and

192
00:11:21,220 --> 00:11:23,120
they were their slave species.

193
00:11:23,220 --> 00:11:27,120
They knew that and they didn't have any philosophical beliefs

194
00:11:27,220 --> 00:11:29,220
about the purpose of man or anything.

195
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,520
You believe Sitchin's theory that mankind was created by

196
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:36,920
E.T.'s for slave laborer.

197
00:11:37,020 --> 00:11:39,520
All of a sudden it makes sense.

198
00:11:39,620 --> 00:11:42,720
And then when you look at the biblical terms of what may have

199
00:11:42,820 --> 00:11:46,620
happened, you see that the human race is a human race.

200
00:11:46,620 --> 00:11:47,420
What may have happened?

201
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,720
Adam and Eve?

202
00:11:48,820 --> 00:11:53,720
Sure, they may have been two individuals back a long time ago,

203
00:11:53,820 --> 00:11:55,320
the beginning of time.

204
00:11:55,420 --> 00:11:58,620
But perhaps Adam and Eve were the first of the genetically

205
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,720
created human beings.

206
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,620
Closer comparisons between the Hebrew Bible and the Samarian

207
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:12,720
texts reveal many similarities, not only in their stories,

208
00:12:12,820 --> 00:12:15,420
but also in their language.

209
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,520
Is Hebrew for man?

210
00:12:17,620 --> 00:12:21,720
Adamu is what the Samarians refer to as first man,

211
00:12:21,820 --> 00:12:24,320
the Anunnaki slaves.

212
00:12:24,420 --> 00:12:28,920
But do the Samarian tablets actually describe an alien race,

213
00:12:29,020 --> 00:12:33,020
a race that conducted mining operations on a global scale?

214
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,220
Thousands of miles away on the African continent,

215
00:12:42,220 --> 00:12:46,820
ruins of ancient gold mines have recently been discovered.

216
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,820
The largest concentration can be found in South Africa,

217
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,020
where some excavations, according to scientists,

218
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,820
date back some 150,000 years.

219
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,820
There are areas that have an abundance of gold right now,

220
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,020
so it's very possible that they could have mine it.

221
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,420
Now the big question is, how do we know they weren't human

222
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,320
beings that simply did that?

223
00:13:08,420 --> 00:13:11,720
Why the E.T. theory?

224
00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:15,620
In many languages in Africa, the native word for star

225
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,020
means bringer of knowledge or enlightenment.

226
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:23,320
Some African cultures believe that extraterrestrial beings

227
00:13:23,420 --> 00:13:27,320
have been visiting the Earth for tens of thousands of years.

228
00:13:27,420 --> 00:13:31,420
Zulu legends speak of a time when visitors from the stars

229
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:35,620
came to excavate gold and other natural resources.

230
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,820
These mines were worked by artificially produced flesh

231
00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:42,420
and blood slaves created by the first people.

232
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,720
Some ancient mines in Southern Africa are thought to be

233
00:13:45,820 --> 00:13:49,020
100,000 years old or older.

234
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,220
If humans weren't doing that mining 100,000 years ago

235
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320
and making metals, then we would have to assume

236
00:13:56,420 --> 00:13:58,720
it would be extraterrestrials doing it.

237
00:13:58,820 --> 00:14:00,920
Alien slave mines?

238
00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:03,720
Genetically engineered humans?

239
00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:06,720
To believers of ancient astronaut theory,

240
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,620
these notions are not far-fetched fantasies or fairy tales,

241
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,120
but facts.

242
00:14:12,220 --> 00:14:15,620
And they point to additional evidence of alien mining

243
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,620
a half world away on the American continent.

244
00:14:25,620 --> 00:14:29,620
Peru has long been known as the Land of Gold.

245
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:34,620
In ancient times, Incan rulers adorned themselves with it.

246
00:14:34,620 --> 00:14:38,520
And when the Spanish explorers arrived in the 16th century,

247
00:14:38,620 --> 00:14:43,520
they sent shiploads of their plunder back home to Spain.

248
00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:47,520
Gold was largely a valuable commodity because of being rare

249
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:50,520
and easy to make jewelry, coinage,

250
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:52,520
and they're looking at like the ancient Incas.

251
00:14:52,620 --> 00:14:55,520
Those people are using gold as a status symbol.

252
00:14:55,620 --> 00:14:59,520
Many cultures thought it came directly from the gods.

253
00:14:59,620 --> 00:15:03,520
People thought gold was so pure, so wonderful, it must heal,

254
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,420
and they would actually occasionally ingest pure gold.

255
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:12,420
Certainly, we're discovering more and more as we get better at archaeology

256
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,420
and as we can look into these things, applications that people have used.

257
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,420
For instance, there was some evidence that ancient people had very primitive batteries

258
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,420
and this would be a place in which gold would be very useful

259
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,420
because of its electrical properties and its conductivity.

260
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,420
It should not be surprising then

261
00:15:30,420 --> 00:15:35,320
that people would find archaeological evidence of ancient gold mines.

262
00:15:35,420 --> 00:15:42,320
But some sites have recently been discovered that date back some 50,000 years.

263
00:15:42,420 --> 00:15:47,320
All throughout areas in Peru, you see remnants of what could have been

264
00:15:47,420 --> 00:15:50,320
ancient mining operations.

265
00:15:50,420 --> 00:15:55,320
It's there. They go down some cases thousands of feet deep.

266
00:15:55,420 --> 00:15:58,320
Gold turns out to be surprisingly easy to mine for

267
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,220
even though it's relatively rare.

268
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,220
There's a lot of common techniques ancient people used

269
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,220
and some of them were used well into recent times.

270
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,220
A lot of it involves using water often to change the properties of the rock around it.

271
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:19,220
A lot of heating and freezing and the gold will come loose.

272
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,220
In addition to gold, other ancient sites in Peru

273
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:27,220
provide evidence that they were once mined for quartz.

274
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:31,120
Hematite and red ochre.

275
00:16:31,220 --> 00:16:35,120
They're used for different things. Quartz is incredibly common.

276
00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:38,120
It's basically silicon dioxide. It's kind of like glass.

277
00:16:38,220 --> 00:16:43,120
It's a great mineral. It's hard, but it can be formed into pretty sculptures.

278
00:16:43,220 --> 00:16:46,120
You can make quartz statues.

279
00:16:46,220 --> 00:16:50,120
You could probably even use it for money before you discovered minerals and gold.

280
00:16:50,220 --> 00:16:57,120
Hematite and ochre are much more valuable because of their iron oxides.

281
00:16:57,220 --> 00:17:00,120
And particularly ochre is important as a pigment.

282
00:17:00,220 --> 00:17:04,120
So as soon as you're going to start having painting, cave drawings even,

283
00:17:04,220 --> 00:17:07,120
or any sort of artwork, you need to make colors.

284
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:14,120
And making color can be a challenge and ochre is a great source of that.

285
00:17:14,220 --> 00:17:19,120
Also located in Peru are the world famous Nazca lines.

286
00:17:19,220 --> 00:17:23,120
While the origins of these ancient geoglyphs remain a mystery,

287
00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:30,020
the area in which the lines are located suggests that a major excavation took place there,

288
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:34,020
perhaps hundreds of centuries ago.

289
00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:38,020
Now Nazca entire mountain tops have been removed.

290
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:42,020
I mean, this all requires machining.

291
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:48,020
And I'm not talking, you know, a little wheelbarrow and a pick.

292
00:17:48,020 --> 00:17:55,920
I'm talking sophisticated machinery because we today would also need sophisticated machinery

293
00:17:56,020 --> 00:17:58,920
in order to achieve such feats.

294
00:17:59,020 --> 00:18:06,920
Could the vast flat plain located in the Nazca desert be evidence of a gigantic mining operation?

295
00:18:07,020 --> 00:18:11,920
One that took place hundreds of thousands of years ago.

296
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:19,820
Whoever comes here in a spaceship, Nazca would be like a beacon as in come here

297
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:26,820
because the moment you come to Nazca, you're sort of confronted with a cliff note to planet Earth,

298
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:32,820
where you have all sorts of raw materials that exist in that one particular spot

299
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,820
in very, very abundant quantities.

300
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:40,820
I think the Nazca lines aren't evidence of search for gold,

301
00:18:40,820 --> 00:18:47,720
they're evidence of some communication with possibly ETs or gods from above.

302
00:18:47,820 --> 00:18:52,720
But despite the controversy, one thing is certain.

303
00:18:52,820 --> 00:19:00,720
The plain and the lines that scar the surrounding countryside are not natural formations.

304
00:19:00,820 --> 00:19:08,720
But while scientists and ancient astronaut theorists remain divided about who or what created the Nazca lines,

305
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,620
they are in agreement about one thing.

306
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:21,620
The so-called Band of Holes, located in the Pisco Valley, is a complete mystery.

307
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:28,620
In the mountains of Peru, we have what's commonly referred to as the Band of Holes.

308
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:37,620
And it is this Band of Holes that were carved or dug into the mountainside.

309
00:19:37,620 --> 00:19:45,520
It's a bunch of little shallow holes dug into the ground, and it's had all kinds of explanations.

310
00:19:45,620 --> 00:19:51,520
Some people say it was just pot hunters, you know, looting, looking for burials.

311
00:19:51,620 --> 00:19:56,520
Some people think it looks like some kind of machine was running over the territory.

312
00:19:56,620 --> 00:20:02,520
Some people think it was some kind of systematic mining operation.

313
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,420
They need raw material, be it gold, be it silver, be it uranium, whatever they need something.

314
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,420
And they send something down like a shuttle.

315
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,420
It can be a robot. No, extraterrestrials are on board.

316
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:23,420
And this robot just crashes over the surfaces and collects and measures raw material and disappears again.

317
00:20:23,420 --> 00:20:33,320
The holes run about three feet apart and measure six to seven feet in depth and number in the thousands.

318
00:20:33,420 --> 00:20:40,320
Often we see regular structures like that and we assume either a person or intelligent life had to make it.

319
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:47,320
But there's lots of examples in nature where the natural processes lead to large-scale what we call pattern formation.

320
00:20:47,420 --> 00:20:49,320
You see it on a small scale in animals.

321
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:53,220
You look at leopards and zebras. Leopards have spots, zebras have stripes.

322
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:58,220
Surprisingly on geological scales some of the same processes that give you spots on a leopard

323
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:03,220
could give you indentations in the ground and raised areas that would look like holes.

324
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:12,220
It would take a long time over geological scales, but we've had a long time and that might be what they're left over from.

325
00:21:12,220 --> 00:21:23,120
Mainstream archaeologists suggest the holes were used to store grain, but ancient astronaut theorists reject that notion.

326
00:21:23,220 --> 00:21:32,120
It's a mystery because who in their right mind would go ahead and dig all these holes for what?

327
00:21:32,220 --> 00:21:41,120
The other intriguing aspect about the band of holes is that you can only see it from the air.

328
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:48,020
When you stand down there all you see is a couple of holes dug into the ground and it doesn't really mean much.

329
00:21:48,120 --> 00:21:56,020
But if you're up in the air there is this long band with these individual holes that you can see

330
00:21:56,120 --> 00:22:09,020
and you can conceivably create some type of message that can only be seen from the air.

331
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:14,920
But if ancient aliens came to Earth searching for gold, why did they leave?

332
00:22:15,020 --> 00:22:20,920
More gold still exists here as do many other valuable minerals.

333
00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:27,920
Could it be that ancient mining operations were just the means to another possibly greater end?

334
00:22:28,020 --> 00:22:35,920
Or perhaps the real alien mission on Earth was to hunt the greatest prey in the universe?

335
00:22:36,020 --> 00:22:38,920
Man.

336
00:22:39,020 --> 00:22:46,920
Alamosa, Colorado, September 7th, 1967.

337
00:22:47,020 --> 00:22:53,920
When a three-year-old horse named Snippy went missing, her owners grew concerned and went out looking for her.

338
00:22:54,020 --> 00:22:57,920
Their search yielded a gruesome and mysterious discovery.

339
00:22:58,020 --> 00:23:05,920
Snippy's body had been mutilated almost surgically.

340
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:13,820
An examination of the carcass showed that her skin and flesh had been neatly cut, her heart and brain had been removed,

341
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,820
and a formaldehyde-like odor emitted from the remains.

342
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,820
An autopsy also revealed that her spinal fluid had been removed.

343
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:29,820
The events of Snippy's death stunned the community and remained shrouded in mystery even to this day.

344
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:40,720
Since the mutilation, an estimated 50,000 similar events have been reported around the world, most of them involving cattle.

345
00:23:40,820 --> 00:23:46,720
But it was not until about the middle of the 1970s that cattle mutilations really entered into ufology.

346
00:23:46,820 --> 00:23:54,720
Farmers would come out and find some prized livestock that was alive and healthy the day before, then it was just suddenly dead.

347
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,620
It looked like it had been cut up in a rather odd way.

348
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:08,620
Certain parts of the body looked like they were cut out in ways that seemed to be almost surgical.

349
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:16,620
Television producer and UFO investigator Linda Howe has been tracking the mystery of animal mutilation for over 30 years.

350
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,620
I began trying to get to the bottom of what was happening to all of these animals.

351
00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:29,520
There were horses, cows, other domestic animals found for the same pattern of bloodless excisions.

352
00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:33,520
The law enforcement called them animal mutilations.

353
00:24:35,620 --> 00:24:42,520
266-some Polaroids from so many cases, and the first thing I felt was anger.

354
00:24:42,620 --> 00:24:47,520
And then I felt nervous and then I felt afraid.

355
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:55,420
I sat across from sheriffs who told me, Linda we're not dealing with predators, disease and satanic cults.

356
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,420
We're dealing with creatures from outer space.

357
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,420
There are several explanations for why aliens would want to experiment on cows.

358
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:15,420
One is that they're just looking for food, one that they're looking for some kind of information about vertebrate organisms.

359
00:25:15,420 --> 00:25:20,320
Another one is that they're looking for some kind of genetic material for some reason.

360
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:32,320
The closest answer I've ever gotten was from a man who had had very upfront and close and personal observations of non-humans in his work for the government.

361
00:25:32,420 --> 00:25:38,320
He told me, he said, the best answer I can give you Linda is it's a genetic harvest.

362
00:25:38,420 --> 00:25:43,320
But once you have said a genetic harvest from Earth, there's even a bigger question.

363
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:52,220
Why a genetic harvest from Earth? What is being made with this genetic harvest? To what end?

364
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:02,220
The answer to these questions might be found in our ancient past.

365
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:09,220
In the bizarre, almost Frankenstein-like experiments that were practiced by early civilizations.

366
00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:23,120
We have ancient descriptions from Egypt where it says specifically that the gods created these chimeras.

367
00:26:23,220 --> 00:26:36,120
Mixed beings or hybrids, we find paintings where you have a human body with a cut-off head and a red tube coming out of it.

368
00:26:36,120 --> 00:26:46,020
And next to it, you have just the head of some animal and in the next picture, because they look like comic strips almost,

369
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:54,020
and in the next picture, you see the same human body with the animal head attached to the human neck.

370
00:26:54,120 --> 00:27:03,020
Incredibly, examples of strange human-animal hybrid beings date back to a time even older than ancient Egypt.

371
00:27:03,020 --> 00:27:09,920
According to mainstream archaeology, ancient Sumeria is the earliest civilization of humankind.

372
00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:25,920
And the interesting part is the fact that their earliest writings are filled with references of these bizarre beings that descended from the sky called the Anunnaki.

373
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:29,920
Anunnaki means those who from the heavens came.

374
00:27:34,020 --> 00:27:38,920
But is there any physical evidence of these human-animal hybrids?

375
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:42,920
If so, wouldn't we have found skeletal remains?

376
00:27:43,020 --> 00:27:48,920
The answer may have been found in Sakara, Egypt, home to that country's oldest pyramid.

377
00:27:49,020 --> 00:27:57,920
In 1851, French scholar and Egyptologist Auguste Mariette explored a deep-tomb dedicated to the sacred Apis Bowl.

378
00:27:58,020 --> 00:28:01,920
Inside were two sealed and intact sarcophagi.

379
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:06,820
But when Mariette opened them, what they contained was shocking.

380
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,820
They opened the sarcophagus and they didn't find a bull.

381
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:23,820
Instead, they found this black mass of what's called bitumen, a type of asphalt, and inside this stinking mass,

382
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:30,820
they found the bone fragments of seven different types of animals crushed up.

383
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:41,820
According to the accompanying texts, some type of monsters existed during the time of the Egyptians.

384
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:49,820
And so who knows whether or not the priests instructed the people to destroy these beings,

385
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,820
to rip them apart, to crush their bones, and put them inside this stinking mass,

386
00:28:54,920 --> 00:29:00,820
and put them underneath a lid in the sarcophagus weighing 80 tons.

387
00:29:01,820 --> 00:29:07,720
I mean, in all of Egypt we can find mummified remains of every single animal,

388
00:29:07,820 --> 00:29:14,720
but we find these sarcophagi that contain these crushed up bones.

389
00:29:14,820 --> 00:29:23,720
Doesn't that mean the ancient Egyptians did not want for those creatures to ever return after their death?

390
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:33,620
Of course, mainstream scientists and archaeologists believe ancient Greek and Egyptian stories of animal and human hybrids

391
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,620
are just fanciful products of the imagination.

392
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,620
But are they?

393
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,620
There is this period in pre-Dynastic Egypt where these Damai gods ruled.

394
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,620
We have not found human remains, we do not know who they were.

395
00:29:47,620 --> 00:29:54,520
But we do have scientific evidence that at least the ancient Egyptians believed firmly that they ruled.

396
00:29:54,620 --> 00:30:00,520
As to whether they are just human beings like you or I, or whether they come from somewhere else,

397
00:30:00,620 --> 00:30:04,520
or whether they are a hybrid being, we have no idea.

398
00:30:04,620 --> 00:30:12,520
What if ancient civilizations possessed the advanced scientific knowledge of our own modern-day scientists?

399
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:19,420
What if they too had unlocked the mysteries of DNA, cloning and gene splicing?

400
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,420
Why is this so fascinating?

401
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:27,420
Well, because if you look at this from a genetics aspect,

402
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:37,420
we're in the process right now today of being able to recreate creatures like that.

403
00:30:37,420 --> 00:30:42,320
I mean, this is Frankenstein, this is science fiction stuff, yet in ancient Egypt,

404
00:30:42,420 --> 00:30:52,320
we have the exact same descriptions, the exact same depictions of some very bizarre hybridization program,

405
00:30:52,420 --> 00:30:56,320
which took place thousands of years ago.

406
00:30:58,420 --> 00:31:06,320
They are mixing alien animals and human DNA, not just for 10 years or 20 years,

407
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,220
but for thousands and thousands of years.

408
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,220
And that's why there are so many alien abductions,

409
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,220
and that's why each generation is psychically more advanced than the next,

410
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,220
until we get to the complete union of two cultures, the ultimate hybrid.

411
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,220
I think the answer clearly is, we're not alone in this universe,

412
00:31:30,220 --> 00:31:39,120
and we have non-human intelligences interacting with this planet for reasons that are still unknown to most of us.

413
00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:43,120
It leaves you feeling a little nervous.

414
00:31:43,220 --> 00:31:50,120
If alien beings came here, as some suggest, to perform strange mutation experiments on animals,

415
00:31:50,220 --> 00:31:53,120
could they have done the same on humans?

416
00:31:53,220 --> 00:31:56,120
And if so, why?

417
00:32:01,220 --> 00:32:08,120
Life on Earth comes in a tremendous diversity of shapes and sizes.

418
00:32:08,220 --> 00:32:16,120
It can be found from the depths of the deepest oceans, to the peaks of the highest mountains.

419
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:24,120
But the vast array of life forms we see today is only a small portion of what has existed on this planet

420
00:32:24,220 --> 00:32:27,120
during its millions of years of history.

421
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:38,020
In fact, scientists estimate that 97% of all the species that have ever lived on Earth are now extinct.

422
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:50,020
Most scientists today will tell us that there have been six major extinction events that have occurred during the history of life on Earth.

423
00:32:50,020 --> 00:33:00,920
The most recent of these extinction events was the one that occurred 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.

424
00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:14,920
Paleontologists attribute these mass extinctions to natural causes such as meteor strikes, floods, and dropping sea levels.

425
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:22,820
But another theory suggests that these extinctions were not caused by nature, but by alien beings.

426
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:30,820
In the ancient Sumerian texts, they can control whether they can cause droughts and they did this to humans.

427
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:36,820
They are capable of producing their own diseases.

428
00:33:36,820 --> 00:33:45,720
But were now extinct life forms actually exterminated in order to make way for other perhaps more docile or desirable species?

429
00:33:45,820 --> 00:33:50,720
Was the intent to clear the way for colonization or invasion?

430
00:33:50,820 --> 00:33:59,720
And if so, what sort of technology would be needed to affect such a widespread change?

431
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:06,620
Some theories say that we have that technology now called scalar technology.

432
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:13,620
We heat up through high electrical impulses, a certain spot on the water, and that creates a hurricane.

433
00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:18,620
And by making a path with that beam, you can track the hurricane.

434
00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:26,620
Now if we can do that, and this is hypothetical, if we can do that, why can't an alien culture say,

435
00:34:26,620 --> 00:34:31,520
let's create an ice age on planet Earth?

436
00:34:31,620 --> 00:34:42,520
It will kill off the dinosaurs, but pave the way for aliens to implant human beings on planet Earth.

437
00:34:42,620 --> 00:34:47,520
Did alien beings come to Earth in order to stay?

438
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:53,520
Might they, as some believe, have seated it with their own genetic offspring?

439
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,420
If so, where is the proof?

440
00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:05,420
Some ancient astronaut theorists point to myths that describe gods coming down from the heavens in order to mate with humans.

441
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:12,420
Ancient texts talk about the fact that whoever visited the Earth in a remote past, these gods,

442
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,420
thought that Earth women were quite beautiful.

443
00:35:16,420 --> 00:35:27,320
So in many occasions, we find stories where those visitors essentially mated with Earth women.

444
00:35:27,420 --> 00:35:33,320
It was misinterpreted, misunderstood as something divine that came here.

445
00:35:33,420 --> 00:35:38,320
They were flesh and blood extraterrestrials.

446
00:35:38,420 --> 00:35:46,320
Native American folklore refers to those beings who came down from the heavens to breed with Earth women as star people.

447
00:35:46,420 --> 00:35:54,320
The star people are extraterrestrial people.

448
00:35:54,420 --> 00:35:58,320
They are not from this Earth.

449
00:35:58,420 --> 00:36:04,320
They visit. They are star ancestors.

450
00:36:04,420 --> 00:36:11,320
There's a great deal of interaction between them,

451
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:20,220
like some of the American Indian star husband tales where some woman sleeping outside at night looks up at a star

452
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:27,220
and thinks it's very beautiful and would like to go there and winds up finding herself in the morning being pulled up into heaven

453
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:35,220
and meeting with a supernatural being who was associated with that star and becoming the bride of the star husband.

454
00:36:35,220 --> 00:36:45,120
According to Native American mythology, the brides of these alien beings would become pregnant and give birth to star children.

455
00:36:45,220 --> 00:36:55,120
They would be raised by the native mother until the age of six when they went to live with their star father.

456
00:36:55,220 --> 00:37:05,120
Similar stories of intimate encounters between celestial beings and humans can be found in ancient Hebrew and Judeo-Christian Testaments.

457
00:37:05,220 --> 00:37:13,120
They are often referred to as the Sudapagraph or what many refer to as the Apocrypha.

458
00:37:13,220 --> 00:37:22,120
There are lots of instances in the Sudapagraph. These are the books that didn't make it into the Bible where people are visited by beings that aren't from this Earth.

459
00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:32,120
Before the Bible became the Bible of today, there were many additional books that used to be a part of the Bible.

460
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:45,020
They were removed in what was called the Council of Nicaea because those books contained too much information, dangerous knowledge.

461
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:56,020
Genesis 6 talks about these watchers that are kind of angels that came down from heaven and had sex with the women of the Earth.

462
00:37:56,020 --> 00:38:04,920
These strangers had sex with beautiful young girls on our planet. How can angels have sex?

463
00:38:05,020 --> 00:38:14,920
This is impossible. In our view, angels were something spiritual, not something that has a body and a feeling of sex, but they had sex.

464
00:38:15,020 --> 00:38:23,920
Our prehistoric ancestors could not understand and they believed that these extraterrestrials are some kind of gods.

465
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:32,820
The conception of the Christ, an angel comes to the holy mother, to the Virgin Mary, tells her that she is going to be blessed by God with a child.

466
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,820
And then, essentially, she finds herself pregnant.

467
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:51,820
There is an angelic reality portent in the New Testament, whether it be at the birth of Jesus or his resurrection, we've got the possibility of other powers from another world being involved from the beginning to the end.

468
00:38:51,820 --> 00:39:05,720
The more literal version is the idea that Jesus is strictly alien, which, of course, is since he is. Even if you take him as the Son of God, then obviously he is not of this Earth.

469
00:39:05,820 --> 00:39:14,720
I tend to believe that Jesus was a very spiritual human being who understood a lot of things that we're beginning to learn today.

470
00:39:14,720 --> 00:39:27,620
But it's also very possible that he might have been an extraterrestrial who came down to teach us things. That defined intelligence is very real in some form or fashion.

471
00:39:32,720 --> 00:39:40,620
Tales of gods made in with humans are prevalent in everything from Greek and Roman mythology to Native American legends.

472
00:39:41,620 --> 00:39:54,520
In China, at the end of the 5th century BC, the country was divided into seven states, each ruled by powerful warlords who battled for territory and power.

473
00:39:54,620 --> 00:40:01,520
It was during this turbulent era when the legendary story of Huang Di first appeared.

474
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:10,420
A great god took the form of a dragon and came down to a hilltop where a young maiden was out gathering fruit.

475
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:18,420
And as this great dragon came near, the sky darkened. It was like a storm. She was terrified and she passed out.

476
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:27,420
When she came awake again, the sun had come out again and the dragon was gone and she was pregnant.

477
00:40:27,420 --> 00:40:41,320
Much like the story of the Virgin Mary and Jesus, the story of Huang Di told of an earthling woman who would give birth to him, the legendary first emperor of China who ushered in a time of great change.

478
00:40:41,420 --> 00:40:49,320
Gods deliberately bred with humans so that they could produce, they could get a race that they could trust and control a little bit better.

479
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,220
In my mind, legends and myths are based on something real.

480
00:40:55,320 --> 00:41:05,220
While they've been mythified and distorted and exaggerated in many cases, but there's in my mind some core of truth here.

481
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:14,220
Another prevalent theme in ancient texts, myths and religions is that of a cataclysm of some kind.

482
00:41:15,220 --> 00:41:22,120
Usually, these come in the form of an intense flood, fire or other devastating catastrophe.

483
00:41:23,220 --> 00:41:30,120
In the Hebrew Bible, for example, God punishes mankind for their decadence and sinful ways.

484
00:41:30,220 --> 00:41:44,120
He sends punishment in the form of a great flood, which destroys nearly all living things on the planet, except for Noah, his family and the animals rescued by the fire.

485
00:41:44,220 --> 00:41:51,120
He then abhors his ark. Similar stories can be found in numerous ancient texts.

486
00:41:51,220 --> 00:42:01,120
Many of the mythical tales of most civilizations include some kind of idea that there are gods that came to earth at some point.

487
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:21,020
One interpretation has been that these are literal descriptions of visitors from space, not gods, but some creatures with advanced technology that came to earth in times past and either created mankind,

488
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:31,020
brought culture to the earth, brought civilization, and then for some reason departed, usually under some kind of breach between gods and gods.

489
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:42,020
Take the case of the once thriving Mesoamerican cultures of the Aztecs and the Mayans.

490
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:47,020
By the year 1500 AD, they had all but vanished.

491
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:57,020
But why? Was there a natural disaster of some kind? Or is there another, more otherworldly explanation?

492
00:42:57,020 --> 00:43:05,920
At some point, it all crashed in a cataclysmic disaster.

493
00:43:06,020 --> 00:43:15,920
And the world, as they knew it, came to an end and tidal waves washed across continents.

494
00:43:16,020 --> 00:43:24,920
Areas of the planet went underwater, and the megalithic building that was going on then too, also completely stopped.

495
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:37,820
And it's what we see at certain areas like in Peru, where giant blocks of granite have been quarried and harshly moved to where they were going.

496
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:42,820
But then it all came to a sudden, complete halt.

497
00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:53,720
For nearly 3,000 years, the Mayan civilization thrived in Central America.

498
00:43:53,820 --> 00:44:01,720
Among their many accomplishments, the ancient Maya invented a remarkably complex and accurate calendar.

499
00:44:01,820 --> 00:44:08,720
According to scholars, the calendar started on August 11, 3114 BC.

500
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:16,620
The first calendar cycle ends about 5,000 years later, on December 21, 2012.

501
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:26,620
But why? Did the Mayans know something about mankind's future? Something we have forgotten or chosen to ignore?

502
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:34,620
There's a lot of excitement being generated now about the Mayan calendar ending in year 2012.

503
00:44:34,620 --> 00:44:41,520
And if there is such a cataclysm or some massive earth change, it's suddenly going to occur.

504
00:44:41,620 --> 00:44:54,520
And so the idea that ancient people, like the Mayans say, were somehow totally in tune with this and had knowledge of these kind of vast cosmic cycles,

505
00:44:54,620 --> 00:45:03,520
which apparently lead to cataclysmic changes on the earth, that's the kind of advanced knowledge that we wouldn't expect them to have.

506
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:10,420
And where would they get that kind of knowledge? You would think that would have to come from extraterrestrials.

507
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:19,420
If we accept the notion that alien beings left behind the Mayan calendar as some type of ancient advanced warning device,

508
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:23,420
might they have left other astronomical instruments here on earth?

509
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:31,420
And if so, why was it so important for ancient civilizations to track the stars?

510
00:45:34,420 --> 00:45:40,420
The Stars

511
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:51,420
Since the beginning of time, man has gazed in wonder at the night sky. Stars became the stuff of legends, home of the gods,

512
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,420
and sometimes man's final resting place.

513
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:03,320
It is no surprise then that ancient man built monuments dedicated to these celestial wonders.

514
00:46:03,420 --> 00:46:08,320
When we look at ancient monuments around the world, these megalithic structures,

515
00:46:08,420 --> 00:46:15,320
we find that many of them are aligned astronomically.

516
00:46:15,420 --> 00:46:23,320
To the sun, to planets, to stars, numerous examples can be listed.

517
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:30,220
Stonehenge is essentially an ancient astronomical observatory.

518
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:37,220
Yes, it may have been used for ritualistic purposes, it may have been used for religious purposes,

519
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:44,220
but it's very clear that it was also used for astronomical purposes, for observations.

520
00:46:44,220 --> 00:46:51,120
We're not surprised whether it's Stonehenge, Pyramids, or perhaps the Nazca lines,

521
00:46:51,220 --> 00:46:58,120
that ancient people understood events that were going to happen in the sky and when they would repeat.

522
00:46:58,220 --> 00:47:03,120
But why was ancient man so fixated on the sky?

523
00:47:03,220 --> 00:47:11,120
And why did they construct elaborate stone monuments and temples in order to track the movements of the stars?

524
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,020
Was it simply to help farmers know when to plant their crops?

525
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:20,020
Or might there have been another, perhaps more, profound purpose?

526
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:31,020
Could they, as some believe, have been constructed as a type of extraterrestrial GPS system?

527
00:47:32,020 --> 00:47:34,920
Napta Playa, Egypt

528
00:47:35,020 --> 00:47:44,920
500 miles south of Cairo, in Egypt's Nubian desert, sits one of the oldest astronomical sites ever discovered.

529
00:47:45,020 --> 00:47:55,920
In 1974, archaeologist Fred Wendorf almost passed it by, before noticing its small stone artifacts and toppled rocks.

530
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:03,820
It's a very intriguing site, it's just strange stone formations, circles, stone alignments,

531
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:09,820
bizarre, trimulize with strange rocks around them.

532
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:16,820
Later excavations put the date of the astronomical device at approximately 5000 BC,

533
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:23,820
making it close to 1000 years older than the remarkably similar formation at Stonehenge.

534
00:48:23,820 --> 00:48:29,720
When they brought an astronomer, they realized that it was a ceremonial site, very intensely astronomical.

535
00:48:29,820 --> 00:48:36,720
The intriguing thing about this site is that it shows that they were tracking stars over thousands of years.

536
00:48:36,820 --> 00:48:41,720
And to track stars over that period, they must have been aware of what we call precession,

537
00:48:41,820 --> 00:48:48,720
which means that they weren't simply astronomers or ancient astronomers, they were very sophisticated astronomers.

538
00:48:49,720 --> 00:48:59,620
Could the people who built Napta Playa 7000 years ago have possessed an advanced understanding of physics and astronomy,

539
00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:03,620
one that rivals or perhaps surpasses our own?

540
00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:07,620
And why were they tracking Orion and Sirius?

541
00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:16,620
In 1994, the mystery of Napta Playa took on even greater significance.

542
00:49:16,620 --> 00:49:25,520
When Robert Baval announced a surprising discovery along Egypt's Giza Plateau.

543
00:49:25,620 --> 00:49:29,520
The Great Pyramid contained four long interior shafts.

544
00:49:29,620 --> 00:49:37,520
Baval determined that they were each precisely aligned with specific stars in the sky.

545
00:49:37,620 --> 00:49:43,520
The southern ones aligned to the Belt of Orion and Sirius,

546
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,420
and the northern ones aligned to the Sirius Polar stars.

547
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,420
Again, this is very intriguing.

548
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:53,420
In terms of construction engineering, that's bull's eye.

549
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,420
As an engineer, I know that it's one thing building a pyramid,

550
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,420
but it's another thing building a pyramid that kind of precision.

551
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:08,420
Baval also proved that the three pyramids of Giza were laid out in the precise order and position

552
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,420
of the three stars of the Orion's Belt constellation.

553
00:50:12,420 --> 00:50:22,320
But what exactly is the significance of the shaft alignment and the layout of the pyramids themselves?

554
00:50:22,420 --> 00:50:24,320
I mean, we're deciphering a message.

555
00:50:24,420 --> 00:50:28,320
The question is whether it is religious or whether it is a stellar message.

556
00:50:28,420 --> 00:50:39,320
The fact is that what we have on the ground is an image of a constellation that we know now is the birthplace of stars.

557
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:49,220
Little stars are being born in there, and the Egyptians themselves believe that their gods had descended from the stars.

558
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:53,220
That could be either a knowledge of ancient astronomy,

559
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:59,220
or it could also be a roadmap to where these ETs may have come from.

560
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:05,220
But why were the ancients so fixated on the Orion and Sirius constellations?

561
00:51:05,220 --> 00:51:14,120
Some believe the answer can be found on the other side of the world in North America.

562
00:51:14,220 --> 00:51:18,120
Cholula, Mexico is home to the largest pyramid in the world.

563
00:51:18,220 --> 00:51:26,120
More than 3,000 years old, it is estimated that it took approximately 1,400 years to complete.

564
00:51:26,220 --> 00:51:31,120
Even though the Cholula pyramid doesn't look like much because of the overgrown vegetation,

565
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:40,020
it is in fact the world's largest monument ever constructed by human hands.

566
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:49,020
In fact, the volume of the Cholula pyramid, the whole pyramid complex, is 4.45 million cubic meters.

567
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:59,020
The Great Pyramid in Egypt only has 2.5 million cubic meters in volume.

568
00:51:59,020 --> 00:52:19,920
So the Great Pyramid at Giza is way taller than the Cholula pyramid, but volume-wise, the Cholula pyramid is by far the largest man-made structure ever created on planet Earth.

569
00:52:20,020 --> 00:52:28,920
Originally built by the Olmecs in the 3rd century BC, the pyramid was later added on to and used by the Toltecs and the Aztecs.

570
00:52:29,020 --> 00:52:34,920
It was a place of religious ritual and human sacrifice.

571
00:52:35,020 --> 00:52:45,920
But along with its history of bloodshed, an examination of the pyramid reveals that the ancient cultures of the region had a remarkable understanding of astronomy.

572
00:52:46,020 --> 00:52:52,920
It's interesting to consider what the Aztec people thought about its origins.

573
00:52:52,920 --> 00:53:00,820
They did not think it was built by humans like us, which is our theory today.

574
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:12,820
According to the ancient Aztec tradition, the Cholula pyramid was built by a being they called a giant.

575
00:53:12,820 --> 00:53:24,720
If you look at the Aztec cosmology, you'll see that these giant beings were identified with different celestial objects.

576
00:53:24,820 --> 00:53:36,720
The one in particular that is said to have built the Cholula pyramid is identified with the planet Venus.

577
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:45,620
Both the Aztecs and the ancient Egyptians charted most of the planets in the solar system thousands of years before European astronomers.

578
00:53:45,720 --> 00:53:55,620
But why? And even more compelling is the fact that the two cultures were thousands of miles and half a world apart.

579
00:53:55,720 --> 00:54:04,620
Mainstream archaeologists are telling us that all these civilizations around the world, in the Americas, on remote Pacific islands, in Asia and Africa and Europe,

580
00:54:04,620 --> 00:54:15,520
that they're all disconnected with each other and that there wasn't some contact with South America and Egypt or any of these ancient civilizations.

581
00:54:15,620 --> 00:54:24,520
But really, it has to be the other way around. All of these ancient civilizations were connected in some way.

582
00:54:24,620 --> 00:54:31,520
But were these holy sites, as ancient astronaut proponents suggest, really connected to each other?

583
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:37,420
And if so, why? Are they evidence of aliens coming to Earth?

584
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,420
Whoa, I'm getting a series of lights right there. I got it, I got it, I got it.

585
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:51,420
These reports that we continue to get from people of ET visitations and craft clearly points out to me that we're being visited and we have been visited.

586
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,420
Well, there it is, over the left.

587
00:54:53,420 --> 00:55:02,320
They may have physically left the planet in terms of a civilization, but they're continuing to come back and monitor us for some reason.

588
00:55:02,420 --> 00:55:05,320
Wow, more appeared, bro.

589
00:55:05,420 --> 00:55:06,320
Yeah.

590
00:55:06,420 --> 00:55:17,320
If aliens are watching us today, what are they waiting for? Or, as some claim, have they already left messages for us in plain view?

591
00:55:23,420 --> 00:55:32,320
90 miles west of London, in the county of Wiltshire, the English countryside remains pretty much as it has for thousands of years.

592
00:55:32,420 --> 00:55:43,320
Small farms, stone walls and rolling green hills provide inhabitants with an environment of peace and stability.

593
00:55:43,420 --> 00:55:52,320
This historic region is also home to a large number of ancient sacred sites, many built thousands of years ago.

594
00:55:52,320 --> 00:56:01,220
It's an ancient sacred landscape where most of them occur. There are monuments that you know about Stonehenge, Ave Berry, Silverie Hill.

595
00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:14,220
This is one small area that seems to be a manipulated landscape that was done thousands of years ago where sacred rituals have taken place.

596
00:56:14,220 --> 00:56:27,120
But in 1978, Wiltshire's tranquil landscape became the focus of a controversy that persists to this day.

597
00:56:27,220 --> 00:56:39,120
Today, alongside the tracks of farm machinery, a new set of circles were found. No human tracks lead to the markings.

598
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:57,020
There, carved in fields of wheat, barley and rye, were elaborate geometric patterns. Even more curious was the fact that much like the famed Nazca lines of Peru, the designs were only visible from the air.

599
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:05,020
When you see it for the first time, you go, what in the world is that doing there? I mean, it's obviously not natural.

600
00:57:06,020 --> 00:57:15,920
There have been cases that have been traced back for hundreds of years, so-called mowing devil, where apparently some sort of devil supposedly mowed a field in a single night.

601
00:57:16,020 --> 00:57:22,920
But they became recognized as a phenomenon only when these circles started appearing in English wheat fields.

602
00:57:23,020 --> 00:57:31,920
They were very simple things at first, but they kept occurring year after year, and each year they seemed to get a little more elaborate.

603
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:43,820
One of the early theories was that there was some kind of whirlwind that was making them, but as they became more elaborate, they also became associated with paranormal activity, particularly UFOs.

604
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:50,820
Some people said they saw light in the field at night, and some people began to read that as a UFO presence.

605
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:57,820
This circle in a Wiltshire field is just one of two hundred such markings to have been discovered in the last six weeks.

606
00:57:58,820 --> 00:58:03,720
To farmers and scientists, how they're formed or by whom remains a big mystery.

607
00:58:04,820 --> 00:58:18,720
Not surprisingly, the region became the focus of intense interest from UFO enthusiasts and skeptics, each offering explanations as to who or what was responsible for this strange phenomenon.

608
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:28,620
But if in fact, alien beings from another planet were responsible for the crop circles, why were they making them in England?

609
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:34,620
Were they trying to contact us? Or were their clues embedded in the designs?

610
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:41,620
And was the proximity to Stonehenge and other ancient sites of any particular significance?

611
00:58:41,620 --> 00:58:49,520
So you have the idea of these earth energies and these ancient structures, and then the crop circles are appearing around them.

612
00:58:49,620 --> 00:58:56,520
And many of the crop circles appear to be some kind of signals of ancient writing.

613
00:58:56,620 --> 00:59:04,520
The crop circles are calling us back to a time before science and spirit got separated when we were whole. We had a sense of wholeness.

614
00:59:04,620 --> 00:59:10,520
And here they're landing near sacred sites that are from an ancient time when we did experience those things.

615
00:59:11,620 --> 00:59:19,520
When I saw the first photographs, I was haunted actually. Are these extraterrestrials doing this?

616
00:59:19,620 --> 00:59:24,520
Are we dealing with somebody who knows how to bend space and time?

617
00:59:24,620 --> 00:59:36,520
Our entire relationship with the universe and quantum physics and all of its complexities has been pushed hard by crop formations alone.

618
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:48,420
Certainly it is one theory that extraterrestrials are trying to communicate in a big way through popular media.

619
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:53,420
Crop circles do get in the newspapers all over the world. Perhaps that's what they want.

620
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:59,420
These are being carefully designed. They're not accidental, both in terms of the shape and where they land.

621
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:05,420
These aren't accidents. There's a mind behind this that's making these decisions.

622
01:00:05,420 --> 01:00:14,320
Where's that mind? What kind of body is it in?

623
01:00:14,420 --> 01:00:18,320
Scientists struggled to find an explanation for the phenomenon.

624
01:00:18,420 --> 01:00:30,320
Until in 1991, two self-proclaimed British pranksters, Doug Bauer and Dave Chorley, came forward and proclaimed that they were the ones responsible.

625
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:36,220
They showed how they could make crop circles in a single night using some very simple tools.

626
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:41,220
At the time, people said, well, that must be the explanation for it.

627
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:55,220
Nevertheless, some researchers remain skeptical that a single pair of elderly men could have created literally hundreds of designs in the dead of night, with little more than a few boards and some rope.

628
01:00:55,220 --> 01:01:02,120
You know what was very effective? You still will run into people, crop circles, oh, forget about them. Those two old guys made them.

629
01:01:02,220 --> 01:01:06,120
Come on, don't be so naive. They were done by those two old guys years ago.

630
01:01:06,220 --> 01:01:12,120
Why do you pay attention to them anymore? Very effective piece of disinformation.

631
01:01:12,220 --> 01:01:23,120
During the years that followed Bauer and Chorley's confession, crop circles continued to appear in the English countryside and at various locations around the world.

632
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:28,020
Some were inarguably the work of artists or jokesters.

633
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:40,020
But after studying soil samples and grain dispersion patterns in the disturbed farmland, researchers concluded that it would be impossible for all of these designs to be man-made.

634
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:46,020
Well, in what we would consider to be a mysterious crop circle where we can't identify it being made by people, the lay is absolutely beautiful.

635
01:01:46,020 --> 01:01:53,920
The lay of the crop, it's like a million carpet layers came down and put these stalks of green down right parallel to one another.

636
01:01:54,020 --> 01:02:01,920
It's just a gorgeous thing to behold. When the hoaxers make them, they tend to be sloppy and messy because they haven't got that same force.

637
01:02:02,020 --> 01:02:06,920
They're doing handmade manipulation, which doesn't lay them down quite as beautifully.

638
01:02:07,820 --> 01:02:16,820
In 1991, noted biophysicist Dr. William Levengood put forth a startling new theory.

639
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:32,820
After spending ten years studying crop circle sites and samples, he concluded that they were created by a complex energy system, which he called a spinning plasma vortex, that comes down from somewhere high up in the atmosphere.

640
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:44,820
Biophysicist Levengood has now analyzed 350-some samples from crop formations in his career.

641
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,820
Now, if Levengood were sitting here with me, he would say,

642
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:55,820
All I can do is I can take you from the ground, I can take you from the crops, up.

643
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:02,820
But I can't tell you what sets in motion that spinning plasma vortex in the first place.

644
01:03:02,820 --> 01:03:06,720
It's still a huge mystery.

645
01:03:06,820 --> 01:03:13,720
The anomalous things that happen inside crop circles are in fact one of the indications that you're in a so-called genuine circle.

646
01:03:13,820 --> 01:03:16,720
Because indeed, the weirdest things happen.

647
01:03:16,820 --> 01:03:21,720
Batteries fail. Brand new batteries. People go in with cameras. Cell phones don't work.

648
01:03:21,820 --> 01:03:26,720
There have been people who have started reading all kinds of messages into these crop circles.

649
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,620
That they have some kind of digital significance.

650
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,620
That you can read the kind of numerology and there will be a kind of message.

651
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:38,620
People are really reading something into it.

652
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:42,620
In terms of who or what is delivering them, we have no way to know that.

653
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,620
We only have science fiction that tells us what's coming to visit us.

654
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,620
So we have to just speculate about where this might be coming from.

655
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:53,620
We have to wait for whatever the source is to introduce itself to us.

656
01:03:53,620 --> 01:04:02,520
Are we dealing with time travelers? Are we dealing with spiritual forces from some dimension we don't understand?

657
01:04:02,620 --> 01:04:09,520
Are we dealing with advanced intelligences that are not even in this galaxy that are from someplace else?

658
01:04:09,620 --> 01:04:15,520
And is this a form of communication? The conversations keep getting more and more complicated.

659
01:04:15,620 --> 01:04:21,520
Crop circles are our contact. We're being contacted just because we don't have the bodies to shake hands with.

660
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,420
We have the evidence that the bodies have left us.

661
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:28,420
I'm absolutely convinced that crop circles are evidence of intelligent life.

662
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,420
There is intelligence bombarding us, winking at us, waving.

663
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:37,420
Are these mysterious crop circles messages or warnings?

664
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:42,420
Or might they have another perhaps more profound purpose?

665
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:47,420
Could they be futuristic clues guiding us to our ultimate destiny?

666
01:04:47,420 --> 01:04:52,320
Or ancient symbols paving the way for our ultimate destruction?

667
01:04:58,420 --> 01:05:01,320
Belize Central America

668
01:05:01,420 --> 01:05:08,320
In 1924 British adventurer Frederick Mitchell Hedges traveled here with his daughter Anna

669
01:05:08,420 --> 01:05:13,320
to explore the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of Lubantun.

670
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:20,220
One afternoon Anna climbed to the top of a crumbling pyramid hoping to see the ocean.

671
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:25,220
It was high noon and she was at the top and the way the sun came in, the way the rocks had moved

672
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:31,220
and that there was just a small opening and the light from the sun went through and they hit the top of the skull.

673
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:36,220
And she ran down and she was all excited. She said there's someone in there with a flashlight.

674
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:43,220
Anna's father and others in their party were too large to fit inside the small opening of the pyramid.

675
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:48,220
So they tied a rope around Anna and lowered her into the hole.

676
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:53,220
When she came back up, Anna held the top of a strange crystal skull.

677
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:57,220
A second search uncovered a matching jaw.

678
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:06,220
The two-piece skull weighed 11 pounds seven ounces and appeared to be carved from a single piece of rock crystal.

679
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:10,220
It's the only crystal skull which is almost perfectly humanoid.

680
01:06:10,220 --> 01:06:16,120
It's the only crystal skull which has a detachable jaw and when I say almost perfectly humanoid,

681
01:06:16,220 --> 01:06:20,120
the one thing which is missing is the sutures on the cranium.

682
01:06:20,220 --> 01:06:22,120
It has a perfect cranium.

683
01:06:22,220 --> 01:06:30,120
So it almost suggests that even though it's a human crystal skull, those who were carving it somehow felt that this creature was not born.

684
01:06:30,220 --> 01:06:34,120
It somehow came into this world perfectly.

685
01:06:34,220 --> 01:06:40,120
The skull's appearance created an immediate sensation among the local tribesmen.

686
01:06:40,220 --> 01:06:43,120
When the natives saw it, it was like their god had returned.

687
01:06:43,220 --> 01:06:46,120
They all started crying and kissing their earth and everything.

688
01:06:46,220 --> 01:06:49,120
They were just so excited and Mitchell had just seen this.

689
01:06:49,220 --> 01:07:01,120
He presented it to the high priest and they put it in an altar and for 24 hours a day they burned flames around the crystal skull.

690
01:07:01,220 --> 01:07:10,120
The Mayan elders believed that in ancient times, 13 crystal skulls were buried in secret places around the world.

691
01:07:10,220 --> 01:07:13,120
Currently, it is claimed that seven have been found.

692
01:07:13,220 --> 01:07:22,120
Four are in private collections and one each in the British Museum, the Smithsonian and the Kate Bradley Museum in Paris.

693
01:07:22,220 --> 01:07:31,120
All have been the focus of intense examination, speculation and even worship.

694
01:07:31,220 --> 01:07:37,120
A lot of natives and a lot of people working with crystal skulls say that the high quartz content skulls

695
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:46,020
and especially the quartz skulls themselves is the highest frequency or energy or vibration possible on the physical plane.

696
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:51,020
And so a lot of native people kind of worshiped or took care of these objects

697
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:58,020
because they knew that they had or felt that they had the highest energy possible on the earth plane.

698
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:07,920
But what are the exact origins of these mysterious crystal skulls?

699
01:08:08,020 --> 01:08:18,920
Since their discovery, scientific tests have determined that the two owned by the British Museum and the Kate Bradley were not authentic pre-Columbian artifacts.

700
01:08:19,020 --> 01:08:23,920
Could it be that the Mitchell Hage's skull was also a fake?

701
01:08:24,820 --> 01:08:32,820
In the 1960s, it underwent extensive testing by art curator Frank Dorland and the Hewlett Packard Company.

702
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,820
They used the most advanced stuff that they had.

703
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:41,820
They could not find any marks on it except for around the jaw and I think a little bit around the eyes.

704
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,820
The only place they saw tool marks using their techniques.

705
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:50,820
At the time, Hewlett Packard found that the temperature always stays about the same temperature.

706
01:08:50,820 --> 01:08:52,720
No matter if it's in hot or cold.

707
01:08:52,820 --> 01:08:55,720
It was carved against the lines of the crystal.

708
01:08:55,820 --> 01:08:59,720
If anybody tried to do that, it would break into a thousand pieces.

709
01:08:59,820 --> 01:09:07,720
It's made out of a high level of electronic crystal and they're not really sure exactly where it came from.

710
01:09:07,820 --> 01:09:12,720
If you listen to the academics, crystal skulls are all modern fabrications.

711
01:09:12,820 --> 01:09:17,720
Meaning somebody has gone on there with a wheel and has carved them as such.

712
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:24,620
And this is where the big divide is between established academics and alternative researchers like myself,

713
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:29,620
who feel that the academics are not using all the available evidence to draw their conclusions.

714
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:33,620
And in short, we believe that the academics are wrong in their conclusions.

715
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,620
Are these skulls really ancient artifacts?

716
01:09:42,720 --> 01:09:47,620
And if not, who or what carved them?

717
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:54,620
Crystal skulls, according to certain stories, yes, they're alien artifacts.

718
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,620
Even some people think they're made on another planet.

719
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:05,620
I think there are links between crystal skulls and extraterrestrials.

720
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:10,620
Not necessarily that they were carved and created by extraterrestrials.

721
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:13,620
That I've been told they were created by humans.

722
01:10:13,620 --> 01:10:19,520
But they were created specifically to hold records from alien civilizations.

723
01:10:19,620 --> 01:10:26,520
Could there actually be some type of coded information stored inside these skulls?

724
01:10:26,620 --> 01:10:30,520
And if there is, how could it be retrieved?

725
01:10:30,620 --> 01:10:37,520
There's a legend that there were 13 skulls and that when the 13 skulls come together,

726
01:10:37,620 --> 01:10:41,520
then something significant will change in the world.

727
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:52,420
Legend suggests that there are 12 additional worlds out there, planets which are inhabited by intelligent species.

728
01:10:52,520 --> 01:11:03,420
Now, we belong to those worlds or to those planets and our planet Earth is called Planet of the Children.

729
01:11:04,420 --> 01:11:13,320
They also suggest that these 13 crystal skulls that allegedly exist on Planet Earth,

730
01:11:13,420 --> 01:11:19,320
were each brought here from one of those 12 planets.

731
01:11:19,420 --> 01:11:31,320
And the 13 skull is the one that apparently contains all of the information of all those 12 different worlds.

732
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:38,220
Within each crystal skull, information is stored and in fact IBM has shown that too,

733
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:43,220
that quartz crystal can store millions of gigabytes of information.

734
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:52,220
And in fact any quartz crystal or a crystal skull could hold much more information than any computer we have now.

735
01:11:53,320 --> 01:12:01,220
So when these crystal skulls would be brought together, they begin to interface with each other.

736
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:14,220
And ultimately, greater knowledge and information is condensed and brought to us and that's the legend of the crystal skulls.

737
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:23,220
But as ancient astronaut theorists maintain, why would visiting aliens have given the crystal skull to the Maya?

738
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,220
To what purpose?

739
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,220
The skull is a very important motif for the Mayans.

740
01:12:27,220 --> 01:12:32,120
When you look around the Mayan monuments, you see skulls carved pretty much everywhere.

741
01:12:32,220 --> 01:12:36,120
They use it for some of that in the notation for calendars.

742
01:12:36,220 --> 01:12:43,120
And it is the Mayan calendar that many people refer to when discussing the possibility of a new Armageddon.

743
01:12:43,220 --> 01:12:47,120
Are the skulls somehow linked to this?

744
01:12:47,220 --> 01:12:51,120
The current keeper of the Mitchell-Hedges skull believes they are.

745
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:58,020
2012, just a few years away, all these different things are happening, the wars, etc.

746
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:04,020
And I think the skulls are coming forward to do what they were made to do.

747
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:09,020
But are these skulls the trigger that will begin the dawn of a new era?

748
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:19,020
Or will they simply be used as a tool by some form of extraterrestrial intelligence to guide mankind to its next stage of evolution?

749
01:13:19,020 --> 01:13:24,920
If so, is this intelligence waiting and watching for the right moment?

750
01:13:25,020 --> 01:13:28,920
And from where exactly could it be watching us?

751
01:13:37,020 --> 01:13:42,920
If extraterrestrial beings do exist in the universe, where are they?

752
01:13:42,920 --> 01:13:49,820
That was the question posed by Enrico Fermi, one of the leading scientists of the 20th century.

753
01:13:53,920 --> 01:14:01,820
Shortly after the Second World War, the famous physicist Enrico Fermi, who was taking part in the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb,

754
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:06,820
was talking at Los Alamos with some friends about the reports of flying saucers.

755
01:14:06,820 --> 01:14:14,720
And Fermi suddenly said, in relation to extraterrestrial intelligent beings, where are they?

756
01:14:14,820 --> 01:14:23,720
And he was simply making the point that if there was a civilization somewhere in the galaxy that had arisen, say, 100 million years ago,

757
01:14:23,820 --> 01:14:26,720
then they had plenty of time to spread across the galaxy.

758
01:14:26,820 --> 01:14:34,720
Fermi said, gee, if there's all of these civilizations out there, on all of these planets out there, where is everybody?

759
01:14:36,820 --> 01:14:47,720
The Fermi paradox, as it became known, was an attempt to explain the lack of evidence of aliens, despite the mathematical probability of their existence.

760
01:14:47,820 --> 01:14:56,720
Up until this point, to modern time, no credible scholar, no credible scientist, looks at any of the evidence that ancient alien enthusiasts put forth and say,

761
01:14:56,820 --> 01:15:00,720
yes, this is evidence of ancient aliens, and no credible scholar does that.

762
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:09,620
Moreover, the whole SETI project, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, has been going on now for nearly 50 years.

763
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:18,620
The fact that we have found no radio telescope evidence of extraterrestrials plays very much into the Fermi paradox,

764
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:28,620
in that it further indicates, if they're out there, why aren't we hearing from them, and we don't seem to be hearing from them.

765
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:43,620
But in the 1960s, MIT astrophysicist John Ball rebutted Fermi's hypothesis with a controversial one of his own, the Zoo Hypothesis.

766
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:58,620
A Zoo Hypothesis says that we are in a zoo or a wilderness area that they have essentially left alone and are going to leave alone to allow us to develop in our own way in their own rate.

767
01:15:59,620 --> 01:16:12,520
Extraterrestrials have detected us on Earth, but have chosen not to come here, not to invade, but rather to observe us as we observe animals in the zoo.

768
01:16:15,620 --> 01:16:21,520
They've thought, we'll do a study of those earthlings and see what sort of people they are.

769
01:16:22,520 --> 01:16:35,420
Now why would they do this? Well, if on the one hand we have nothing they want, that's surely true, and on the other hand, we aren't able to interfere with whatever they're doing, that's also surely true.

770
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:44,420
They're out there doing their own thing, and they're not paying any attention to us, and we're not clever enough to eavesdrop on whatever they're doing.

771
01:16:45,420 --> 01:17:01,320
That's the predicament we're in. We have something that is looking down and monitoring us. We are on the Petri dish, and we can't get out far enough to see what's behind those eyes behind that microscope.

772
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:21,220
If aliens are watching us right now, where are they? Some believe they are sitting out in space in what are called Lagrange points, named after mathematician and astronomer Joseph Lagrange, who discovered them in 1772.

773
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:26,220
There are five of these points between the sun, the earth, and our moon.

774
01:17:27,220 --> 01:17:39,120
Lagrange points are points between two bodies where the forces balance equally. Think of like a seesaw, when you have one really heavy person and one really light person, there's a kind of balance point in there, and that's what a Lagrange point is.

775
01:17:40,220 --> 01:17:52,120
Lagrange points is where we send some of our own satellites, and that's a point in space where you can just sort of sit there and head for millions of years if you had to, without having to worry about in-course corrections.

776
01:17:52,120 --> 01:18:01,020
If you go anywhere else in the solar system, then in order to keep pace with the earth, as it orbits the sun, you've got to continually change your position.

777
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:12,020
So people have talked about Lagrange points as a place where a spacecraft might hide out, because you don't have to do a lot to stay in that spot. It's sort of equally balanced and you just get carried along.

778
01:18:13,020 --> 01:18:25,920
If an extraterrestrial race would have ever visited our solar system, they could have placed a probe in those specific points in order to observe us, to record us, what have you.

779
01:18:26,020 --> 01:18:37,920
So, I mean, this is not something that the ancient astronaut theory has proposed. This is, you know, university professors, astrophysicists who have proposed this.

780
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:52,820
Some argue that another reason alien beings have yet to reveal themselves is because they don't yet consider us worthy. This forms the basis of John Ball's jungle hypothesis.

781
01:18:53,820 --> 01:19:07,720
The jungle hypothesis just means that if you have animals such as ants that live in the jungle, no matter how many of them you have, there are chances of ever having seen a human being very slim.

782
01:19:08,820 --> 01:19:14,720
Not because we're hiding or anything, but we just don't have a reason to go into the jungle and step on ant hills.

783
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:25,620
So, the idea is that we are probably related to advanced extraterrestrial intelligence, similar to an ant hill might be related to humans.

784
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:32,620
And the fact that we've never seen any extraterrestrial intelligence is just, we don't have anything they want.

785
01:19:33,620 --> 01:19:55,520
We could actually shake hands with something that might have been coming and going on this planet for literally thousands, perhaps millions of years, and has kept a distance during the last age of man for reasons unknown, and maybe is waiting for us all to finally grow up.

786
01:19:55,520 --> 01:20:22,420
One thing that can be said with a great deal of confidence is that if the contact is initiated by them, they are going to be not only superior to us, but greatly superior to us. They won't be just beginners like we are, they will be far more advanced than we are.

787
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:54,520
Both the jungle and zoo hypothesis propose that alien beings are watching us, but are, for the time being, keeping their distance. But what if they're not? What if the alien mission was to integrate with our society in a way that avoids detection? If so, might they be walking among us right now?

788
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:10,520
According to the ancient astronaut theory, aliens may have come to Earth for many reasons, to excavate, to breed, to conquer, or simply to explore.

789
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:22,520
Certainly we want to go out and find out about things we don't know about. We see the moon, we want to go up to the moon and find out more things about it. We see Mars, we want to go there, we want to go to Jupiter, we send out our probes.

790
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:29,520
So if aliens are something like us, then perhaps they have that same kind of motivation. They just want to go learn.

791
01:21:31,520 --> 01:21:46,520
Just like we exhibit curiosity, there are other species out there that have the same trait. It will be very egotistical to think that we're the only explorers in this galaxy.

792
01:21:47,520 --> 01:21:56,520
I mean, that would be a very sad statement to suggest we're the only ones with a brain and want to go out there and explore.

793
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:12,520
But while our own journeys into space have been brief and largely exploratory, could other beings traveling millions of miles to Earth have stayed? And if so, might they still be among us?

794
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:23,520
Many ancient astronaut theorists think this all happened in the past and the extraterrestrials came here, did this and did that, and then they took off back to their own planet.

795
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:30,520
But there's a lot of evidence to show that extraterrestrials who might have come here in the past, they've never left.

796
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:40,520
They have bases somewhere on the planet, underneath the oceans, inside mountains.

797
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:51,520
In South America, there is very strong beliefs that many UFOs come out of lakes and underwater.

798
01:22:52,520 --> 01:23:05,520
And that Lake Titicaca and other lakes in Peru and Bolivia and other areas of South America have some kind of underground, underwater, alien base associated with them.

799
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:18,520
If aliens were coming to our planet, there seems little doubt that they would stop at the moon on their way here.

800
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,520
The moon itself is kind of the eye in the sky.

801
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:28,520
NASA says that the moon is apparently hollow.

802
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,520
During the Apollo missions, the command module crashed into the moon.

803
01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:44,520
And the moon rang like a bell for hours.

804
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:49,520
There are craters on the moon which they cannot find bottom to.

805
01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:59,520
And it's thought by some researchers that these bottomless craters are entrances inside our moon.

806
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:10,520
The whole enigma of the moon gets weirder and weirder the more you know it.

807
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:16,520
Was the moon actually brought here from another solar system and put into orbit around our planet?

808
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:23,520
Biologists say that life on this planet could never have occurred without our moon.

809
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:28,520
And the reason for that is that the moon creates the tidal effect.

810
01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:38,520
And without the effect of tides and this rhythmic motion on the oceans, life would never have begun on this planet.

811
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:47,520
In my mind the evidence is there.

812
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:54,520
That the moon is a gigantic spaceship in orbit around our planet.

813
01:24:56,520 --> 01:25:00,520
It's occupied by some extraterrestrial race.

814
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:08,520
In many ways it's much like the George Lucas Death Star concept in Star Wars.

815
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:15,520
Where they're building this artificial moon that's capable with technology of actually destroying a planet.

816
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:26,520
But if alien beings are using the moon as some sort of satellite for Earth observation, why?

817
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:31,520
What would be the purpose and where is the proof?

818
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:40,520
They would like to see us evolve. They are great masters, great avatars.

819
01:25:41,520 --> 01:25:47,520
They are very high and so are we. And we need to live up to our potential.

820
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:54,520
We really need to live up to our potential for all people.

821
01:25:54,520 --> 01:26:11,520
And today we are living still as if we are alone in the universe while hundreds and thousands of people are seeing unusual craft in the skies as they did 5,000 years ago.

822
01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:24,520
And so in a way the idea that the ancient aliens would finally be coming around full circle all the way into the 21st century.

823
01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:35,520
It's trying to push open a truth that governments have suppressed in the 20th century. It's really very ironic.

824
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:46,520
There are many diverse and conflicting theories concerning the idea that alien astronauts have been visiting the Earth for centuries.

825
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:54,520
But perhaps the proof lies in the most obvious place of all. Right within ourselves.

826
01:26:56,520 --> 01:27:03,520
Somewhere in our genes it is coded that extraterrestrials were here thousands of years ago.

827
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:11,520
And it takes a certain time before this message is open to us maybe in the brain.

828
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:17,520
I don't believe extraterrestrials, ETs, ancient astronauts are the missing link.

829
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:22,520
I think what they very well could be, they may be the beginning of the link.

830
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:29,520
The link that helped genetically alter human beings. The link that jump-started our civilization the way we are today.

831
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:38,520
It's very possible they came down here and saw some creature and they said you know what we're going to jump-start this.

832
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:44,520
It may take another 10 million years for this thing to become smart and intelligent.

833
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:49,520
So they created us and we're smart and intelligent now aren't we?
