1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 A great deluge, nearly wiping out every living thing 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000 on our planet's surface. 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:18,000 Cosmic battles waged over the skies of Germany. 4 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000 And geologic cataclysms threatening the future of 5 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000 humanity. For centuries, mankind has faced 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000 almost every calamity imaginable. 7 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000 But are we at the mercy of natural forces? 8 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000 Or is there an even higher power at work? 9 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000 The aliens that apparently created us had the ability 10 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000 and the desire to keep human beings disunited. 11 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000 They can control us and we cannot control them. 12 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000 That makes us a second class species. 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000 If anything, they may be more violent than we are. 14 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Millions of people around the world believe we have been 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000 visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 16 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000 What if it were true? 17 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000 Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 18 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000 If so, were they out to control us, to exterminate us, 19 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000 or to prepare us for the future? 20 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000 Tortugero, Mexico. 21 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Within this archaeological site lie the ruins of a Maya city 22 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000 that once thrived from 250 to 900 A.D. 23 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Among the many artifacts discovered here are examples 24 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:18,000 of Maya script, also known as Maya hypochondriac. 25 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,000 Also known as Maya hieroglyphs, a fully developed written language. 26 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000 In April 2006, Mayanist scholar David Stewart 27 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000 deciphered inscriptions that were found on what's known as Monument 6. 28 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Researchers believe the translated text provides further proof 29 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,000 that the Maya's long count calendar will end on December 21, 2012. 30 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000 According to Maya tradition, the gods will return at that date. 31 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 And you can read Chiseled in stone, 32 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000 will descend with glory, God Bologna Jocte. 33 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000 Bologna Jocte was one of the Maya creator gods 34 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000 who created human intelligence. 35 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:24,000 The ancient Mayans were attuned to higher wisdom, higher knowledge. 36 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:32,000 And their forecast of December 21, 2012, the winter solstice, 37 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:40,000 as a major marker in the age of Earth, was a true insight into what's coming. 38 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000 It is a marker of a change into a new age. 39 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000 The Maya civilization, established as early as 2000 BC, 40 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000 produced highly advanced architecture, agriculture, mathematics and astronomy. 41 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000 But ancient astronaut theorists believe 42 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000 the amazing accomplishments of the Maya may be due in part 43 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,000 to contact with early extraterrestrials. 44 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000 And the ultimate proof, they say, is in the creation of the Maya calendar. 45 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Scholars agree upon one date when the calendar allegedly started, 46 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000 and that was the 11th of August, 3114 BC. 47 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000 In 3114 BC, the Maya did not even exist. 48 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:39,000 So what compelled them to start their calendar in 3114 BC? 49 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000 According to the Chilambalam book, which is the book of the Jaguar priests, 50 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000 at that time the road to the stars descended from the sky, 51 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,000 and the 13 and 9 gods came to Earth. 52 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Right there we have a direct reference to someone that has arrived from outer space. 53 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000 The Mayans were one of the civilizations that reported a very strong extraterrestrial presence. 54 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Their alien gods were very much involved in their society, in their sciences. 55 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000 The thought here is that maybe this is a prophecy that was put there 56 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:26,000 by the aliens through the Mayans in this calendar that the world is going to end in the year 2012. 57 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Apocalypse. Armageddon. The end of days. 58 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000 Embedded in numerous ancient cultures and religions around the world, 59 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000 is the idea that civilization, as we know it, will come to a tumultuous end. 60 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Such apocalyptic beliefs are the driving force behind the final chapter 61 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000 of the Judeo-Christian Bible called the Book of Revelation. 62 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,000 According to the text, an angel of God appeared to the apostle John on the island of Patmos 63 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000 and shared with him visions of the future, 64 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,000 that God would return in end times to pass judgment on all humanity. 65 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:33,000 The Book of Revelation tells the future of mankind, where angels appear over the earth 66 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000 and the angel will punish mankind. 67 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:48,000 An earthquake, thunderstorm, gigantic floods and catastrophes on earth. 68 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,000 Further evidence of a prophesied apocalypse was found in 1947 69 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000 in arid caves high above the Judean desert. 70 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:08,000 Archaeologists discovered nearly 900 documents believed to have been written in the time of Jesus. 71 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000 They are the Dead Sea Scrolls. 72 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,000 Among them is one called the War Scroll, 73 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,000 that spells out in chilling detail a future apocalyptic war 74 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000 between the forces of light and dark. 75 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000 The Dead Sea Scrolls are talking about a war between good angels and bad angels. 76 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000 And invariably, in almost every ancient literature, you end up with these cosmic fights 77 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,000 between the forces of good and the forces of evil. 78 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000 The idea that somehow the gods have different factions 79 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:51,000 and they fight against each other has sometimes given rise to ideas like 80 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:57,000 maybe there was an ancient war between alien factions visiting the earth. 81 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,000 That would have provided the visual imagery and the basic ideas for some of the ancient mythology. 82 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:11,000 In Judeo-Christian and Islamic tradition, there's an idea that there will be some kind of final warfare 83 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,000 when God defeats Satan once and for all. 84 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000 That's been interpreted by some people to say that the aliens will come back 85 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000 and they'll fight it out again one final time. 86 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:32,000 But have these warnings of imminent war on earth actually come from God? 87 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Or could they have originated from somewhere else? 88 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000 And if the four warned apocalypse were to occur, 89 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000 might it simply be part of a recurring cycle of natural phenomena? 90 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000 The Toba Supervolcano, Indonesia. 91 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000 75,000 years ago, this massive volcanic lake erupted, 92 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,000 triggering a major climate change that nearly obliterated mankind. 93 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000 When you have one of these massive volcanic eruptions, 94 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000 what you have to worry about is the dust in the upper atmosphere 95 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000 because that shields the sunlight and the planet can cool. 96 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000 And if that lasts long enough, you can really mess with the life cycle of the organisms that are around at that time. 97 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Scientists call this an example of a genetic bottleneck, 98 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:34,000 a catastrophic event that dramatically decreases the genetic diversity of a species. 99 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:43,000 At least twice, homo sapiens experienced such a genetic bottleneck effect. 100 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Where the worldwide population dwindled to as few as 3,000 homo sapiens around the world. 101 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Same patterns of history just keep repeating themselves over and over again. 102 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,000 And behind that pattern, we continue to see possibly an alien influence 103 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000 causing some of these events to happen. 104 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000 The flood stories are really very interesting. 105 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000 You find them in the Bible. 106 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,000 What they all say is that this extraterrestrial race, the angels, the gods, whatever we want to call them today, 107 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000 they basically just got tired of humanity. 108 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000 They became noisy, rebellious, and it was just time to wipe them out. 109 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:39,000 It's very possible that the aliens decided that in order to cleanse the planet, 110 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:46,000 they needed to do things of huge magnitude, like the flood that the Bible talks about is Noah. 111 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000 God came down to him and said he was going to punish mankind. 112 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,000 And Noah, you are good, and I want you to build this massive ark 113 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:05,000 and collect all these animals, a male and female, and you put them in this boat and you float away. 114 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,000 And you start all over again. 115 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:18,000 When we come in the Bible and we see Noah, we find that he somehow knows the future, 116 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000 whereas nobody else on earth seems to know this. 117 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:29,000 But specifically, he has been given blueprints, somehow a device whereby he can survive this catastrophe. 118 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Now that is something very specific, which singles Noah out as being a person 119 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000 who might have had exposure to ancient aliens. 120 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000 Maybe the extraterrestrials created some type of a catastrophe, 121 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:53,000 but it's also possible that the flood itself was a natural disaster. 122 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,000 And extraterrestrials warned the local population about this impending massive flood. 123 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Exeterrestrials ensured our continued survival. 124 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,000 Could there be a reason for this? 125 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Could there be a reason why humans have survived such disasters time and time again? 126 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:29,000 And is it really possible that the great flood and other cataclysmic extinction events were caused by extraterrestrials? 127 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:35,000 If so, who are these destructive beings? 128 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,000 And what is their ultimate purpose? 129 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000 Indonesia 130 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000 2004 131 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000 A massive underwater earthquake produces a tsunami 132 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000 that kills over 230,000 people 133 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000 in 14 coastal countries. 134 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,000 It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. 135 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:19,000 Geologists determined that the violent movement of tectonic plates on the floor of the Indian Ocean 136 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,000 created lethal tidal waves measuring a height of nearly 100 feet. 137 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Tsunamis are basically super tidal waves 138 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000 and it really comes down to at the simplest level is how much energy is put into the ocean 139 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000 at the point it generates the tidal wave. 140 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,000 And the water gets displaced and it actually forms a wave that can be very coherent in travel for large distances 141 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000 and will eventually hit the shore somewhere. 142 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000 But just days before the disaster, several eyewitnesses reported seeing strange, 143 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000 unidentified flying objects to the India Daily newspaper. 144 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000 People were reporting seeing bright lights in the sky prior to and during that tsunami. 145 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,000 Scientists think that that's just maybe the tectonic plates are rubbing each other 146 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000 and there's so much friction that they're giving off a glow. 147 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000 Known as earthquake lights, 148 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:27,000 mainstream scientists have been studying these phenomena since they were first photos of the earthquake. 149 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:34,000 But although there are many theories as to their cause, there has been, as yet, no viable explanation. 150 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:42,000 What is becoming very apparent is that UFO activity and tectonic activity go hand in hand. 151 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:48,000 Now there are an awful lot of questions to be asked here and science needs to answer an awful lot of them. 152 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,000 But the fact that there are so many theories is that there are so many theories that there are no viable explanations. 153 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000 Science needs to answer an awful lot of them. 154 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000 The central question is this. 155 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,000 Is this UFO phenomenon just a byproduct of the tectonic activity? 156 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000 Iceland, April 2010. 157 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:21,000 One of the country's largest volcanoes erupts for the first time in nearly two centuries. 158 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:32,000 In the aftermath of the blast, sky news captured footage of an unusual V-shaped flying object amongst the plume of smoke and ash. 159 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,000 An awful lot of video material was taken of this volcanic eruption 160 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000 and some of it clearly shows an anomalous object hovering roughly around the volcano. 161 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000 This object is clearly under intelligent control 162 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,000 and from what we see on the video, it's also apparent that this isn't birds as some skeptics have been trying to argue. 163 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:10,000 According to scientists, volcanic eruptions are natural events that occur when rocks deep within the earth become so hot they melt and form magma. 164 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000 Basically, you build up a lot of pressure in the magma in the location where the volcano is 165 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:24,000 and it has a point where it can release and then that magma and the hot gases and the hot lava all kind of erupt out through the top. 166 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:35,000 Still, some researchers believe there is a high correlation between catastrophic events and the appearance of UFOs. 167 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:45,000 The fact that we have UFOs before and sometimes during these events, whether tsunami or earthquakes, clearly shows that something is present. 168 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:53,000 Now the question is, are they just monitoring it or are they actually somehow involved with it? Are they causing it? 169 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,000 Is there a way that you can trigger a volcano? 170 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:08,000 For example, let's say it's sort of on the verge anyway, is there something you can do technologically to either trigger it or to make it worse? 171 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:17,000 We don't know, we just see this apparent foreknowledge of an event like that happening, the UFO shows up, the event happens. 172 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:28,000 According to ancient astronaut theorists, alien spacecraft have been spotted at or near the sites of so-called natural catastrophes since ancient times. 173 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:44,000 But why? Is it possible extraterrestrials are merely curious about geologic events on earth? Or could there be another, perhaps more sinister, motive for their interest? 174 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,000 April 14th, 1561. 175 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000 Nuremberg, Germany. 176 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Citizens awoke at dawn, to the spectacle of cylindrical objects appearing in the sky, from which red, black, orange and blue discs emerged. 177 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:21,000 According to eyewitness accounts reported in the Nuremberg Gazette, tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared and the objects began to fight one another. 178 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:31,000 After about an hour of battle, the entities seemed to catch fire and fell to earth where they turned to steam. 179 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Five years later, Austrian architect Hans Glazer created a woodcut detailing what he observed during the famous event. 180 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:54,000 In that woodcut and in the eyewitness reports, we actually see UFOs in battle. They were reported actually fighting each other, shooting each other down. 181 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,000 If you look at the bottom right-hand corner of the woodcut, you'll actually see a couple of circles in the ground giving off smoke. 182 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000 They've obviously crashed. They've been shot down. 183 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:13,000 That is very interesting because it shows that the pattern of aggression amongst the UFOs has been going on for a long time. 184 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:23,000 To some ancient astronaut theorists, the 540-year-old woodcut is evidence of an alien cosmic war. 185 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:31,000 And, in fact, they claim similar hostile events have occurred in human history for millennia. 186 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:49,000 The evidence from the record, from eyewitness testimony, shows a connection between the UFO and a thinning effort where there's apparently a wanton intention to wipe out or thin out the human race. 187 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:56,000 For example, during the plague years, there were a lot of UFO reports about bright lights in the sky that were spreading gas. 188 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,000 And people were reporting that these gases were actually the cause of the plague. 189 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:18,000 But could there really be a connection between eyewitness accounts of alien space wars and the recent sightings of UFOs during Earth's so-called natural catastrophes? 190 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:31,000 And is there any proof that alien visitors are involved in creating cataclysmic events in a sinister effort to control or thin out Earth's population? 191 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:47,000 Perhaps the answer can be found in Florence, Italy, among the diaries and secret papers of one of the world's most brilliant and mysterious men, Leonardo da Vinci. 192 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000 2005, Florence, Italy. 193 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:08,000 Beyond a hidden staircase in the Santissima Anunziata convent, researchers from Italy's Military Geographical Institute discover the secret workshop of Leonardo da Vinci. 194 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:17,000 He was the true archetypal Renaissance man, brilliant painter, brilliant inventor, brilliant poet. 195 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:25,000 And Bedextras, could write with his left hand and his right hand at the same time, wrote backwards instead of forwards, a very interesting guy. 196 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Though da Vinci is renowned for his public paintings, like the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper, ancient astronaut theorists are more intrigued by his private notebooks. 197 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:50,000 That contain sketches of futuristic military technology, including machine guns, tanks, helicopters, and even submarines. 198 00:21:51,000 --> 00:22:01,000 It clearly seems that Leonardo da Vinci was privy to a series of secrets that had been handed down for many, many thousands of years. 199 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Da Vinci may also have actually been contacted by human-like extraterrestrials, who either spoke to him in person or perhaps telepathically and inspired him to do so many different things. 200 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:23,000 We do know, for example, that one of his inventions was a circular car. Looks kind of like a UFO. 201 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:38,000 Now he's also into inventing weapons, and did that come from the fact that the UFO has demonstrated basically some aggressiveness, and did some of that maybe in some way rub off on him? 202 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:45,000 Were they trying to give him weapons that could be used to destroy life on Earth that could have been possible? 203 00:22:46,000 --> 00:23:02,000 But if Leonardo da Vinci did have knowledge of advanced weaponry, might he have learned of it through observation and study? Or was this knowledge given to him by another, perhaps extraterrestrial source? 204 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:17,000 There is this book of prophecies, which is a very rare book, and in there are some type of descriptions that could indicate some type of an extraterrestrial visitation. 205 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:28,000 There are references in which da Vinci himself says that he's had these encounters, these visions of God and angels. 206 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:37,000 And of course, according to the ancient national hypothesis, that wasn't God, it wasn't angels, they were extraterrestrials. 207 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Is it possible that over the centuries, extraterrestrials have been partnering with human collaborators? 208 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:56,000 Human beings entrusted with the kind of advanced scientific knowledge that would allow mankind to leap over centuries of normal intellectual evolution. 209 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:10,000 To ancient astronaut theorists, the fact that mankind had gone from the horse and buggy to the moon in less than 100 years makes such a notion not only possible, but entirely probable. 210 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:24,000 In our development, all of a sudden, we've made a quantum leap where we were sitting in caves munching on bananas, and the next thing we do is we're building pyramids. 211 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Virtually overnight, and so that quantum leap can be explained with a direct extraterrestrial intervention of our past. 212 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:47,000 And the visitors are the ones who are revered as gods, who seem to come on flying shields or silver boats, or any of the various descriptions of extraterrestrial technology that you see in these ancient legends. 213 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:53,000 And they consistently are trying to cultivate humanity in a direction that's beneficial for everyone. 214 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:09,000 There are many who believe extraterrestrial visitors might have provided intellectual inspiration to men like Albert Einstein, whose theories of relativity opened the door for the possibility of future travels through space and time. 215 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:18,000 J. Robert Oppenheimer, whose research in the field of theoretical physics resulted in the development of atomic weapons. 216 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:27,000 Werner von Braun, whose innovations in advanced rocket technology led to the modern-day space program. 217 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:45,000 When we look into the lives and the motivations as to Werner von Braun and to why he wanted to take mankind into outer space, we're confronted with the fact that he was absolutely convinced that we had gone there before or that an ancient civilization had come from there to us. 218 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:58,000 These people were motivated and specifically they wanted to take us to space because they were convinced that somehow they would find something which would completely change planet Earth. 219 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:11,000 Then there is Nikola Tesla, whose experiments with electricity led to everything from satellite technology and robotics to what some would term a death ray. 220 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:23,000 But the Tesla death ray, Tesla said, could annihilate an army of 100,000 soldiers at once and could melt an aircraft engine from 250 miles away. 221 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:34,000 When the FBI investigated Tesla's murder, they found documentation that the Tesla death ray was in development at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in 1943. 222 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:42,000 Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, 1943, where was the Roswell-Flying saucer taken? 223 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,000 So we have a connection to that weapon. 224 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:54,000 Is it possible that Nikola Tesla's scientific achievements could have been influenced by alien intelligence? 225 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:05,000 Might other human geniuses throughout time have served as human gateways, allowing extraterrestrials to jumpstart our technological advances? 226 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,000 If the answer is yes, then what are we being prepared for? 227 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:26,000 And might there be a connection between mankind's intellectual and scientific advancements and the so-called natural disasters that threaten to wipe entire populations off the face of the Earth? 228 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000 The Omo River, Ethiopia. 229 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Flowing south 400 miles into Lake Turkana. 230 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:49,000 The banks of this river are rich in hominid fossil fragments, including those of chimpanzees, gorillas, and early humanoids. 231 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:58,000 Here in 1967, paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey unearthed two partial human skulls. 232 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:11,000 The remains date as far back as 195,000 years ago, making the fossils the oldest evidence of modern humans, or Homo sapiens. 233 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:21,000 We are constantly still finding new breakthroughs and either more complete skeletons or a more complete site. 234 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000 If we look at the fossil record, at some point eventually you find common ancestors with chimpanzees. 235 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:33,000 You go back really close, and you have Neanderthal and Chromagnoman, and we came out of Chromagnoman, and the Neanderthals die out. 236 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:39,000 And it's really interesting mystery to try and piece together. Why were we more successful than they were? 237 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000 We are the only one who came out of the family tree with culture. Why? 238 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:57,000 Evolution says by coincidence. We have adapted as best. I say no. It was an artificial mutation made out of the family tree. 239 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:11,000 Then overnight we were building pyramids, Sumeria was created, all those different high achievements were done virtually overnight. 240 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:20,000 So this quantum leap in development, this big bang of knowledge or intelligence, all of a sudden happened. 241 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:31,000 And the ancient astronaut theory suggests that this is a direct result of extraterrestrials tampering with our DNA. 242 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000 So we're half human and half extraterrestrial. We're hybrids. 243 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:54,000 We have an incredible wealth of information in stone preserved from ancient times that can lead us in a direction of really knowing that the ancient ancestors of modern humans were not simply born on Earth, but came here from somewhere else. 244 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:03,000 But if extraterrestrials arrived here in the distant past, who were they? And why did they come here? 245 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:11,000 Ancient astronaut theorists believe answers exist in early Sumerian texts. 246 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:29,000 In 1849, British archaeologist Austin Henry Layard discovered 22,000 clay tablets in the ancient Sumerian city of Nineveh, in an area now known as Iraq. 247 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:39,000 The tablets contain cuneiform script, believed to be the earliest writing system created by the Sumerians 6,000 years ago. 248 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:46,000 Author Zechariah Sitchin spent more than 30 years translating the Sumerian clay tablets. 249 00:30:47,000 --> 00:31:03,000 In his 1976 book, The 12th Planet, Sitchin claims the cuneiform texts describe an alien race named the Anunnaki, who came to Earth from an undiscovered planet in our solar system, beyond Neptune, called Nibiru. 250 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:17,000 They explained to the Sumerians that through their own rise to a technological culture, they damaged their atmosphere, and they came here seeking gold and precious elements to repair their planet's dwindling atmosphere. 251 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:28,000 According to Sitchin, the Anunnaki first visited Earth 450,000 years ago, during the age of Neanderthals. 252 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:38,000 And they created Homo sapiens through genetic engineering, to create a species to work in mind precious minerals for them. 253 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000 Our forefathers believed that they were gods. 254 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:56,000 And they were here on purpose. They wanted to make our primitive generation at that time, intelligence. They wanted to plant curiosity into our brain. 255 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:05,000 And we became more developed in technology, in astronomy, in every field. That's what they wanted. 256 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,000 The question is, why? 257 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:21,000 When you look at the ancient creation stories, you find that what they said about our position as Homo sapiens is that we were created to be a slave race or a work race. 258 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:34,000 According to Sitchin's interpretation of the ancient tablets, the human civilization in Sumer was set up under the guidance of the Anunnaki. 259 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:45,000 And to disguise alien manipulation, human kings were inaugurated to provide intermediaries between mankind and their so-called gods. 260 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:56,000 Then, around 3000 BC, humans began building stone monuments, such as Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids. 261 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:05,000 For mainstream historians, the physical ability and know-how to construct these megalithic sites remains a mystery. 262 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:16,000 But ancient astronaut theorists contend that megaton stone monuments were erected by human laborers, aided with alien technology. 263 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:31,000 And what do the ancient texts say about ancient Sumeria? That none of this could have been possible without the help of the gods, or in their case the Anunnaki, which means those who from the heavens came. 264 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:51,000 Many cultures had a time when they interacted with their living gods. So who were those gods? In my mind, they were misrepresented advanced extraterrestrials, and they brought forth the technology to build the monuments we see, such as Giza or all across Bolivia, Peru and South America. 265 00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:04,000 Sitchin's interpretations of the Sumerian tablets further claim the ancient Anunnaki astronauts carried out breeding experiments to improve the species of laborers. 266 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:16,000 But to keep the human population at bay and correct genetic mistakes, the aliens orchestrated so-called natural catastrophes. 267 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:27,000 And the Anunnaki saw the Neanderthal man naturally evolving here on Earth and just decided to put their genetic marker on it. 268 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:37,000 Meaning they took 80% of their genes and 20% of the hominoid that was here and created us in their image and after their likeness. 269 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:51,000 And this was essentially when modern humanity was born and starts to show up in the fossil record. It wasn't until 75,000 years ago that you have this supervolcano that goes off in Lake Toba. 270 00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:03,000 In the aftermath of that, great cataclysm, it appears that we went through further genetic modifications. Very, very powerful ETs came in and upgraded our DNA. 271 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:12,000 They probably figured, you know, there's something wrong with this species. So they probably create these disasters like the flood. 272 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:18,000 And then of course, there's always that biblical perspective and people believe God did it. 273 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:32,000 Well, God could have been the extraterrestrials, could have created that somehow. It's very possible and very likely that in order to eradicate a species that they may have genetically altered themselves, 274 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,000 and screwed up with, that they needed to get rid of them and start all over again. 275 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:53,000 The ultimate proof for the ancient astronaut theory will not be in a megalithic site. It won't be finding a crashed spaceship, but it will be found deep within our genes. 276 00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:02,000 And that is exactly what the ancient texts are saying, that we were created in the image of the gods. 277 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:16,000 Though more than 20,000 genes have been identified in the human genome, scientists worldwide have only begun to understand the origins of man. 278 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:25,000 As geneticists continue to study our DNA, might they find traces of an alien species in our genes? 279 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:35,000 And if homo sapiens were genetically engineered by aliens, might they have continued to shape our existence? 280 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000 Albert County, Georgia 281 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:48,000 Four 18-foot tall granite stones form a mysterious monument, some call the American Stonehenge. 282 00:36:49,000 --> 00:37:00,000 Engraved in the giant stones, in 12 languages are 10 guides or commandments suggesting how to rebuild civilization after the apocalypse. 283 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:16,000 Known as the Georgia Guidestones, the monument was built in 1979 by an unknown man going by the pseudonym R.C. Christian. 284 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:34,000 Some people have a theory that whoever put those guide stones up was either a Freemason or that the name R.C. Christian was really a way to parrot the fictional founder of Rosicrucianism centuries earlier. 285 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:44,000 When you trace them back to the ancient gods who wore the same symbolic aprons, they were the ancient aliens that we now talk about. 286 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:56,000 Was the monument secretly built by followers of Rosicrucianism, an ancient society of mystics and philosophers who were inspired by the religions of the Far East? 287 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:04,000 If so, might the stones contain coded messages intended to prepare us for the imminent apocalypse? 288 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:30,000 Perhaps. But to some ancient astronaut theorists, warnings of an impending apocalypse are meant to caution human beings against the very real prospect of an alien invasion. Or worse, perhaps the examination, vivisection and eventual annihilation of all human life on our planet. 289 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:49,000 Since the late 19th century, modern reports of aliens abducting and probing humans have numbered in the tens of thousands. 290 00:38:50,000 --> 00:39:01,000 Researcher David M. Jacobs has spent more than 40 years studying so-called abductees and their alien encounters through the use of hypnosis. 291 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:19,000 The preponderance of evidence, a person after person saying the same thing to me, things that I could never have imagined being thought up. Then I began to realize, oh my god, this is actually happening. And I was dumbstruck by the fact that this was convincing evidence to me. 292 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:44,000 What Dr. Jacobs has reported is that what the aliens seem to have been doing for these last 40 years, perhaps longer, is that when they abduct people, it's not just an experiment. They are actually engaged in a very intense, very involved program of genetic breeding, where they are breeding hybrids. 293 00:39:45,000 --> 00:40:02,000 The abductees that he's been talking to, according to him, have gotten to the point of this massive program of creating hybrids, where now the hybrids look like us quite a bit. But behaviorally, psychologically, they're still alien. 294 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:13,000 Jacobs claims alien human hybrids can communicate telepathically and dictate human thoughts neurologically. 295 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:28,000 These beings can't put ideas, images in people's minds quite easily. Therefore, what people describe is that they can be controlled on a number of different levels by the minds of these other beings. 296 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:41,000 Since 2003, abductees have supposedly been reporting to Jacobs that the hybrids were being integrated into society, unnoticed by humans. 297 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:59,000 To me, this is possible evidence of the plan to do another thinning, to kind of make room for this new jump from modern Homo sapiens to whatever we're going to call this new Homo sapiens. 298 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:09,000 That is the potential future apocalypse involving the alien presence. And that's where I see some dangerous signs. 299 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:27,000 Some people think that these beings are benevolent, that they are here to help us, to stop war, cure cancer, that they are here for reasons that have everything to do with us and very little to do with them. 300 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:37,000 I don't see benevolence here. I don't see malevolence. But I see the furthering of an alien agenda of which we do not know the future. 301 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:48,000 Some people have theorized that the creation of an alien hybrid race might be a way of accomplishing a better age on Earth. 302 00:41:48,000 --> 00:42:03,000 And there are some abductees who even bring back predictions that there will be a time called the change when there will be aliens and humans living together on Earth as if it were a return of the age of paradise. 303 00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:12,000 There are others who think that they are coming to create a better Earth. Some think they're coming to take over the Earth. 304 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:33,000 We really don't know the alien agenda. We do know that they have been telling abductees for a long time that soon everybody will be happy. Soon everyone will know their place. Soon we will all be together. 305 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:43,000 This has been going on for thousands of years with the creation of Homo sapiens. I mean, from the very get-go. 306 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:55,000 So to suggest that now is the time where, you know, a new hybrid extraterrestrial Homo sapiens will emerge in this new age of consciousness. 307 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:04,000 No, no, it won't. We already are hybrids. We already are part extraterrestrial and part human. 308 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:19,000 Human and alien hybrids? Extraterrestrial engineering designed to weed out excessive population growth or perhaps to exterminate inferior genetic strains? 309 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:29,000 Might geological catastrophes and meteorological calamities be the work of unseen, perhaps alien hands? 310 00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:47,000 For skeptics, the answer is a resounding no. But with the end of the Mayan calendar looming in 2012, could all of our questions about the alien agenda finally be answered? 311 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,000 Perhaps only those of us who survive on that date will ever learn the truth.
