1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
ancient carbines, depicting dinosaurs with humans.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Sometimes the humans are even riding on the back of the dinosaurs.

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
The fossilized tracks of dinosaurs and man

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
discovered side by side.

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
We find human footprints, dinosaurs, and all types of fossils

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,000
that scientists tell us should not be in the same level.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,000
We find them coexistent.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
And high levels of radiation found in the bones of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
The reason they had to paint them with lead paint

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
is because they discovered that they were very, very intensely radioactive.

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Did the dinosaurs fall victim to a cosmic collision?

12
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Or were they deliberately killed off?

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Is it possible that what we have here was in fact not an extinction

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
but an extermination event?

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
by extraterrestrial beings.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
What if it were true?

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

19
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And if so, will science reveal the connection

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
between aliens and dinosaurs?

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:33,000
What if we were to find out the connection between aliens and dinosaurs?

22
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,000
What if we were to find out the connection between aliens and dinosaurs?

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
What if we were to find out the connection between aliens and dinosaurs?

24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
What if we were to find out the connection between aliens and dinosaurs?

25
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
What if we were to find out the connection between aliens and dinosaurs?

26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:05,000
Oxfordshire, England, 1819

27
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
In a quarry just outside the village of Stonesfield,

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
paleontologist William Buckland discovers several fossilized bones

29
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
of an enormous unknown animal,

30
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,000
including portions of a lower jaw with teeth still in place.

31
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Though similar bones had been found in the past,

32
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Dr. Buckland was the first European to officially record the discovery of a dinosaur,

33
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:41,000
or as he called it, a megalosaurus.

34
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Since then, dinosaurs have been discovered on every continent in the world.

35
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
There are all kinds of dinosaurs that have been found.

36
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,000
You have later dinosaurs like the stegosaurus, you have horn dinosaurs,

37
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,000
you have midi-ding dinosaurs, you have all sorts of dinosaurs.

38
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
They live in very different environments,

39
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,000
deserts, subtropical forests by the seashore.

40
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
There are over a thousand species of dinosaur that we know,

41
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
and no doubt, thousands more that we don't know.

42
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:24,000
They range in size, from chicken size, to the largest land animals ever.

43
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000
The largest land animal that we see today is the elephant,

44
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,000
but the elephant would be a midget in comparison to one of these titanosaurs.

45
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:40,000
They're talking about an animal that weighed 25 times the weight of an adult male elephant.

46
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:47,000
These animals reach a length of about 120 feet in weights of 100 tons.

47
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
The plant eaters would have been dangerous simply because of their size.

48
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Walking in between a herd of titanosaurs that weighed 100 tons,

49
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000
you know, would have been deadly probably,

50
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
let alone being face-to-face with a T-Rex.

51
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
The dinosaur really speaks to us.

52
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Every child has this fascination with dinosaurs,

53
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,000
and we know that they're able to fly, we know that they are able to frighten you.

54
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
They are, to some extent, supernatural creatures.

55
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
One of the things with Planet Earth was that in ancient times,

56
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
everything was bigger, and all the animals were bigger, and plants were bigger.

57
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Everything was gigantic.

58
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,000
The world of the dinosaurs was completely different from our world.

59
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
During the age of the dinosaurs, many other animals lived.

60
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You have giant reptiles swimming in the ocean, flying reptiles flying over the heads of dinosaurs.

61
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,000
You also have insects, mammals, amphibians, and other creatures.

62
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
But dinosaurs were the king of the land.

63
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:07,000
We imagine in science fiction what it would be like to travel to an exotic, exciting, strange alien world.

64
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Were these giant creatures roaming around the planet,

65
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
and it happened here on Earth in our prehistory.

66
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:24,000
While scientists had been studying dinosaur fossils for nearly 200 years,

67
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
their theories about what these giant creatures were and how they lived

68
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,000
often changed with each new discovery.

69
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Recently, paleontologists have determined that Tyrannosaurus rex was most likely covered not with scales,

70
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
but with feathers.

71
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:52,000
We found feathers of dinosaurs that are actually preserved in amber.

72
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:58,000
And so dinosaurs, we now believe that many, if not most of them, had a feathery covering of some kind.

73
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
We know they had very complex behaviors.

74
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,000
The eggs that we find show that many dinosaurs made nests on the ground,

75
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
that they protected from predators, and they brought food to the developing young.

76
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:19,000
In the past, we envisioned dinosaurs as lethargic, gigantic reptiles that were slow and sluggish.

77
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,000
That notion has changed completely.

78
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,000
We interpret them now as being much more active.

79
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Many of them were feathered and presumably they were warm-blooded.

80
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000
We know that they grew very fast.

81
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Essentially, dinosaurs were very atypical reptile, if you want.

82
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
We still have a lot to learn about the dinosaurs.

83
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
It used to be easy to define a dinosaur, but defining a dinosaur has become more complex.

84
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000
But while paleontologists continue to discover information on the lives of dinosaurs,

85
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:06,000
ancient astronaut theorists believe there may be an other worldly connection to their demise.

86
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,000
When looking at dinosaurs, there are some key questions that really need to be answered.

87
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,000
We don't know their level of intelligence.

88
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,000
We don't really know what happened to them.

89
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
More importantly, where do they come from?

90
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,000
Scientists truly believe that dinosaurs ruled this planet for 165 million years.

91
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:33,000
In comparison, modern homo sapiens, humans, have only been around for about 200,000 years.

92
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,000
So dinosaurs are by far the dominant species in the history of this Earth.

93
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,000
But in the early 1800s, if you told someone the Earth used to be teeming with giant beasts,

94
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,000
some of which weighed over 100 tons, that person would say to you, you're crazy.

95
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
And yet today, the dinosaurs are scientific fact.

96
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Dinosaurs could very well have been an early experiment by extraterrestrials with life on Earth.

97
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,000
This planet has been capable of supporting life for millions, if not billions of years.

98
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The accepted belief within the scientific community is that dinosaurs dominated the planet

99
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000
until a catastrophic event wiped them out 65 million years ago.

100
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:37,000
There was a mass extinction that essentially exterminated maybe 50% of what was alive.

101
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Among the 50% are the last dinosaurs that lived during the age of the dinosaurs.

102
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Things like triceratops, t-rex.

103
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,000
We are speculating, and we have seen science trying to come up with answers.

104
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,000
And so how the dinosaur disappeared is something which is still an open question to which science has no answer so far.

105
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:09,000
It is possible that extraterrestrials may have wanted to trade out the dinosaurs

106
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:17,000
for a more intelligent species in their likeness, and Earth was the perfect place to do it.

107
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Were the dinosaurs killed off by a cosmic natural event, as mainstream scientists believe?

108
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Or might the dinosaurs have been the target of extermination?

109
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:43,000
Perhaps the answer may be found by examining numerous ancient carvings and other artworks

110
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000
in which dinosaurs and man are shown to have coexisted.

111
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Planet Earth 65 million years ago.

112
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
An 8-mile-wide asteroid hurtles towards the planet at approximately 12 miles per second

113
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,000
and strikes the region now known as the Yucatan Peninsula,

114
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:21,000
with a force of 100 million megatons of TNT.

115
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:29,000
According to mainstream science, this catastrophic event forever changed the climate and the topography of Earth

116
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,000
and ended the reign of the dinosaurs.

117
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
The object that came in was 8 or 10 miles in diameter.

118
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000
That impact dug a deep hole, lofted material into the atmosphere.

119
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Black dust which shrouded the planet in darkness for months, maybe for a couple of years.

120
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000
So there was a time in which the sunlight was simply shut out from the Earth's surface.

121
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
In photosynthetic organisms like plants would begin to die.

122
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000
The plant-eating dinosaurs would have nothing to eat and would have died off.

123
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000
The meat-eating dinosaurs would then have nothing to eat either,

124
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,000
and this might have lasted anywhere from 5 to 10 years.

125
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,000
How quickly the extinction took place is a matter of debate.

126
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:35,000
But is it possible that some species of dinosaur actually survived this cataclysmic event

127
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:45,000
and not only survived but thrived for several thousands or even millions of years?

128
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Perhaps clues can be recovered near a crater where scientists believe the giant asteroid struck the Earth,

129
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:59,000
right in the heart of what is now the Yucatan Peninsula.

130
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Today, less than 90 miles from the epicenter of the asteroid impact,

131
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:13,000
lies one of the largest and best-preserved cities of the ancient Maya, Chichen Itza.

132
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:18,000
You have to wonder if it's not some strange coincidence

133
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:26,000
that the same spot, the Yucatan, which experienced this devastating asteroid strike,

134
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:35,000
which caused extinction of the dinosaurs, is also the main habitation area of the ancient Maya.

135
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Chichen Itza is said to have been the place where the Mayans made contact with the gods.

136
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
And I find it an extraordinary coincidence of all the potential places around the Gulf of Mexico

137
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
which they could have chosen.

138
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,000
They took a place where literally something fell from the sky 65 million years ago.

139
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
And the Mayans believed that this contact with the gods, this contact with the sky,

140
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
happened there up until the most recent of times.

141
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:10,000
And so what we have here is either a coincidence or something else going on.

142
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,000
And really this something else is only something which hardly anybody has touched upon.

143
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,000
But I think it is something which really needs to be explored in far more detail.

144
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,000
In the Mayan area and other areas of Mexico, there are curious depictions of dinosaurs.

145
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,000
There's pterosaurs, there's a famous dinosaur that appears on one of the paintings at Bonham Pack.

146
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:41,000
So you have to wonder just how the Mayans knew about dinosaurs.

147
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Supposedly dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years.

148
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:53,000
But if, as mainstream scientists believe, the dinosaurs had been extinct for millions of years

149
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:00,000
before the evolution of mankind on this planet, then what would explain the wealth of Mayan art

150
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,000
depicting interactions between humans and what appear to be dinosaurs

151
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000
found in the very area where they supposedly died off.

152
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that additional evidence can be found in northern Cambodia

153
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
at one of the largest temple complexes in the world.

154
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Anchor what?

155
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Here, among the intricate stone carvings that adorn the walls of the sacred site,

156
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000
researchers have been fascinated by numerous images of animals

157
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:41,000
that supposedly roamed the region where the temple was built.

158
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:50,000
But one, depicting what appears to be a dinosaur, has archaeologists and scholars scratching their heads.

159
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000
There's a temple called Ta Prome and it has a series of medallions that are carved into its surface.

160
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,000
And one medallion in particular is attracted to tension because it looks like a stegosaurus.

161
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:09,000
And so some have cited this as an example of a dinosaur that lived into historical times.

162
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:17,000
The stegosaurus, not as a skeleton, bites a stegosaurus with its skin and muscles

163
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
as if somebody saw it while it was alive.

164
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:28,000
So how is it possible that the artist was able to carve something like this?

165
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Did they receive the knowledge of something like this?

166
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:39,000
There is no doubt that ancient civilizations must have encountered dinosaur remains.

167
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Many of them lived in areas where dinosaurs are very abundant

168
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,000
and I'm sure they found them here and there.

169
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:54,000
But I think that the fact that they have incorporated what appears to be dinosaurs in their artistic depictions

170
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000
speaks of an attempt to interpret them.

171
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
How exactly they interpret them, I don't believe is clear.

172
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Even 200 years ago, we had a hard time figuring out how the bones of dinosaurs fit together.

173
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:22,000
What could explain the ancient builders of Angkor Wat having such a sophisticated knowledge of dinosaur anatomy?

174
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Could it be, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe, that their knowledge came first hand as the result of actual interaction?

175
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:41,000
The Sodilo Hills, Northern Botswana, Africa

176
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Here, in 2001, archaeologists discover what many believe to be the world's oldest known religious artifact.

177
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:03,000
A 20-foot-long serpentine rock carving made over 70,000 years ago by the ancient San people.

178
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Serpent worship is one of the oldest known form of religious worship

179
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
and it's absolutely everywhere that you look.

180
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:26,000
But might the enormous scale of the serpent's head, measuring 6.5 feet tall,

181
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,000
suggest that the carving represented not a python, but a dinosaur?

182
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:40,000
There's a lot of ancient artwork that clearly shows an actual reptilian species being worshipped by humans.

183
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Some sort of reptilian presence that was here on the earth in the ancient past.

184
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:57,000
The question is, is it possible that our ancestors saw something that they tried to imitate and the answer is a resounding yes?

185
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Whenever it comes to evidence of the possibility that dinosaurs and mankind existed,

186
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000
each time science has tried to explain it away.

187
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:14,000
But we know the archaeological evidence really suggests that it is not that straightforward.

188
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000
It is definitely possible that our earliest ancestors met dinosaurs.

189
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Might ancient depictions of dinosaurs really be proof that humans and dinosaurs did, at one time, coexist?

190
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:39,000
According to mainstream scientists, the notion is not only incredible, but downright impossible.

191
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000
Unless, of course, they are confronted with evidence.

192
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:52,000
In the form of a fossilized footprint of a dinosaur, side by side with that of a human being.

193
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Dinosaur Valley State Park, Glenrose, Texas.

194
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Here, in 1930, Roland T. Byrd, Field Explorer for the American Museum,

195
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:23,000
reported finding clearly defined human footprints alongside dinosaur tracks in the same exposed layer of riverbed limestone.

196
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Some researchers found human footprints alongside the footprints of dinosaurs.

197
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:39,000
There is other evidence from other parts of the world that shows that human beings like us were present during the time of the dinosaurs.

198
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:52,000
We find human footprints, dinosaurs, and all types of fossils that scientists tell us that should not be in the same level as man, but we find them coexistent.

199
00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Now, we have never thought about this because science has told us that there are 65 million years between us and them.

200
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:06,000
But there is, again, archaeological and geological evidence to suggest that this is not the case.

201
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,000
There are footprints which show ancestors of ours and dinosaurs in the same strata.

202
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Could these fossilized footprints really be evidence that at some point humans actually coexisted with dinosaurs?

203
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:33,000
According to mainstream scientists, the fossil evidence found at Dinosaur Valley is inconclusive at best.

204
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000
There are three basic dinosaur eras, the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous.

205
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Actually, these were named not for the dinosaurs, but for the various rock structures that were found at that time.

206
00:20:47,000 --> 00:21:01,000
The Triassic dates back about 250 to 200 million years ago, the Jurassic 200 to 135 million years ago, and the final, the Cretaceous, 135 to 65 million years ago.

207
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:14,000
It is simply impossible to say that every single dinosaur of planet Earth completely disappeared, and the likelihood is that at least some definitely survived for at least several million years.

208
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:26,000
The most widely used scientific method to determine the age of fossils is by a process known as carbon dating.

209
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:34,000
A technique that measures the rate of decay and radioactivity in an organic object.

210
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Carbon 14 is not a stable isotope, so it decays over time, whereas the C12, carbon 12, does not decay.

211
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:45,000
So by measuring the two against each other, we're able to get a very general age.

212
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:52,000
In order to do carbon dating, you need organic material, you need wood or bone, something that lived.

213
00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:09,000
A piece of stone can't be carbon dated, and often archaeologists are reduced to finding something under that piece of stone, which is organic and dating that, and then making the assumption not necessarily correct that the carving of the stone dates to the period of the thing under it.

214
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:22,000
For objects that are millions of years old, there is no scientific method that will allow us to date the object or bone itself.

215
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:30,000
They have to date the dinosaur bone according to the age of the deposits in which it is found.

216
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000
There are methods that will allow them to date these deposits.

217
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,000
Carbon dating results don't get published in peer-reviewed journals.

218
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,000
We have so many things happening in the world of science, whereby it is clear that scientists are playing a game.

219
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:59,000
And so this notion that somehow dinosaurs completely disappeared 65 million years ago is now something which science, as such, is really beginning to push holes in it as well.

220
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:11,000
Carbon dating assumes that the concentration of radiocarbon, carbon-14, is always a constant, and I think this is an assumption which may not be true.

221
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Because carbon-14 is produced as a result of certain cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, but if those cosmic ray interactions changed in the past, which they may well have done,

222
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:32,000
then the production of carbon-14 that is present in the atmosphere at the time when it was fixed in whatever it is that is being tested will have not been the same as it is now.

223
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:48,000
But if the fossil evidence of dinosaurs cannot be reliably dated, might some bones actually be from a time thousands, or even millions of years after paleontologists believed they became extinct?

224
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer is yes, and they point to additional evidence found in South America.

225
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Ika Peru. Here, in 1961, workers in the Okukahe Desert unearthed a collection of carved andesite stones, many depicting the ancient ancient history of the ancient world.

226
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:30,000
What appeared to be human encounters with dinosaurs, and since then, approximately 50,000 of these mysterious stones have been found across the region.

227
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:41,000
I have photographed some 100 of it in a collection in the city of Ika, and there was an old professor, Dr. Cabrera.

228
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:51,000
The Indians brought him stones from all over the country of Peru, and on these stones you see fantastic engravings.

229
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Peruvian physician Javier Cabrera began researching what had become known as the Ika Stones in 1966, ranging in size from small pebbles to large boulders.

230
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Dr. Cabrera's museum preserves over 20,000 of the strange rock carvings.

231
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,000
All dinosaurs died about 60 million years ago, so normally no human being should ever have seen a dinosaur.

232
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:31,000
But there are wonderful pictures engravings on stone where you see humans and dinosaurs together.

233
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Sometimes the humans are even riding on the back of the dinosaurs.

234
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:49,000
What we have here is an incubator stone, which is very unique, and what it depicts is that man and dinosaur live contemporaneously.

235
00:25:50,000 --> 00:26:10,000
We see the various triceratops, brachiosaurus, and T-Rex, those type of creatures, so these I think has had to either see them or they knew a lot more about the dinosaurs because they drew them precisely.

236
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Although many ancient astronaut theorists believe the stones date from the 5th century BC to the early 13th century AD, there are those in the scientific community who remain skeptical about their origin.

237
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:40,000
But consider this, just the enormous number of stones would have required that an artist carve more than 1,000 of them a year, every year for 45 years.

238
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:46,000
But even if the Ika Stones are proven to be real, more questions remain.

239
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:55,000
What happened to the dinosaurs? Did they simply get hunted to extinction? If so, by whom and why?

240
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Imagine a period in time when there are very few human beings about on this planet.

241
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:09,000
And maybe there are dinosaurs about. These beings could easily kill our ancestors.

242
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:17,000
If our ancestors were in an environment where they have a dinosaur, this would be the greatest threat to their survival.

243
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Might the dinosaurs have proven to be too big? Too territorial? Or simply too deadly for mankind to allow their survival?

244
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Or was their demise part of a larger plan? Not by humans, but by other worldly beings, as many ancient astronaut theorists speculate.

245
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:51,000
And they believe further evidence can be found in the study of Earth-threatening asteroids.

246
00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:06,000
The United States Capitol, 1992. Congress authorizes funding for the Space Guard Program.

247
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:13,000
A global network of telescopes designed to scan the skies for Earth-threatening asteroids.

248
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:23,000
As of 2011, NASA has identified approximately 10,000 near-Earth objects that could potentially hit our planet.

249
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Of all the natural hazards that we know of.

250
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, typhoons.

251
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:46,000
The impact has it. The possibility of us being hit by a comet or asteroid is the only one we can eliminate.

252
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
You could never stop an earthquake or a volcano.

253
00:28:51,000 --> 00:29:06,000
But if we had a decade, two decades warning of an object that might hit the Earth, we do have the technology, at least in principle, to send a spacecraft out and give it a nudge and just slightly change its orbit.

254
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
So it misses.

255
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:26,000
If we can control the trajectories of asteroids to direct them away from Earth, then it's certainly possible that highly advanced extraterrestrials could have had the technology to direct an asteroid towards Earth.

256
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:34,000
Did advanced ET's direct an asteroid to that spot?

257
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,000
It's within the realm of feasibility that advanced ET's indeed directed an asteroid to the Yucatan Peninsula.

258
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:53,000
The question is, was the impact enough to trigger the extinction? And that's what's controversial.

259
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Some people believe that that was enough. Some people believe that it wasn't.

260
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:13,000
For decades, mainstream scientists believe that the asteroid that may have been responsible for wiping out the dinosaurs was a fragment of a giant asteroid called Baptistina.

261
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:22,000
But on September 19, 2011, NASA concluded that the deadly asteroid may have had a different origin.

262
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:39,000
Some people think that they can guess what the origin was of the object that hit us 65 million years ago. Others disagree. We simply don't have enough data.

263
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:56,000
But if the asteroid did not break off of Baptistina, where did it come from? And is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe, that the object may not have been an asteroid, but an extraterrestrial weapon?

264
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Perhaps the extinction was triggered by advanced ET's. Specifically, they might have used something to destroy the dinosaurs.

265
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:26,000
In 1980, physicist Luis Alvarez discovered a thin global layer of sediment nearly 65 million years old that contains high levels of iridium, an element not naturally found on Earth.

266
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:37,000
Those materials probably came from an asteroid. They could have come from a comet. But they definitely came from somewhere in the solar system, far beyond the Earth and Moon.

267
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Iridium is believed to be deposited on Earth by celestial masses like meteors, comets, and asteroids. But the rare element can also be introduced into the atmosphere as a byproduct of something else.

268
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Fallout from a nuclear weapon. What could the Earth's iridium layer be physical proof that advanced nuclear weapons had at one time devastated our planet? And might they have been deliberately deployed in an effort to wipe out the dinosaurs?

269
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:36,000
Most people don't realize that most of the T-Rex skeletons that are on display at various museums around the world, for instance, the Field Museum in Chicago, has these dinosaur skeletons, these T-Rex skeletons, and they're painted with a very specific high density lead paint.

270
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Now the reason they had to paint them with lead paint is because when they discovered the bones of these T-Rexes, they discovered that they were very, very intensely radioactive.

271
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:57,000
But if dinosaurs really fell victim to a nuclear attack, might there be some sort of tangible evidence?

272
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the evidence does, in fact, exist in the pages of the ancient Hindu texts.

273
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:20,000
We can look into the ancient Indian texts like the Mahabharata, and there are clear stories that describe lizards of various sizes, some even the size of buildings.

274
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:27,000
There were all mass exterminated, and it was because of the angry gods.

275
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Now we can look at this and say it's mythology, or was there some type of mass extinction level event caused by ancient aliens?

276
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:51,000
If we look at the records left in the ancient Sanskrit writings of India, we see descriptions of weapons resembling modern atomic weapons.

277
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:58,000
We also see descriptions of advanced technologies such as spacecraft.

278
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:10,000
In the Mahabharata and other sacred Indian texts, we can read that weapons of mass destruction were used that were brighter than a thousand suns when they were deployed.

279
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
And afterwards, silence fell over the affected land.

280
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:28,000
If nuclear weapons were deployed, the only logical conclusion is that their origin was in fact extraterrestrial.

281
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Is it possible that what we have here was in fact not an extinction, but an extermination event?

282
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Might the dinosaurs really have been exterminated by extraterrestrial beings, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

283
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And if so, could it be that some of them have, in fact, survived to this day?

284
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:08,000
There are those who believe the answer is yes, and that the evidence can be found in the creatures that exist right before our eyes.

285
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Archaeologists discover a strange fossil embedded in limestone. Its features clearly identify it as a dinosaur.

286
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:26,000
But with one exception, it has wings. They called it Archaeoptrix, or ancient wing.

287
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:35,000
It's Archaeoptrix, like the Mona Lisa of the fossil world. It's an animal that lived about 150 million years ago.

288
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,000
It had a long bonnetail, big claws, teeth in its mouth.

289
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000
It's a small animal, but it's a small animal.

290
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:57,000
We don't know anything about feathers before them, but we certainly see in Archaeoptrix that it has feathers that are designed for flying.

291
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Now, the feathers may have been for warmth, they may have been for display to attract mates, or perhaps to help them move faster when either of them are flying.

292
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Now, the feathers may have been for warmth, they may have been for display to attract mates, or perhaps to help them move faster when either chasing prey or being pursued themselves.

293
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:34,000
The evidence appears to be very strong because there are actually over 100 anatomical characteristics that are similar to birds and dinosaurs.

294
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:42,000
And one theory is that T-Rex, for example, has relatives today among chickens and ostriches.

295
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Nowadays, it's very well accepted that dinosaurs are not extinct.

296
00:36:47,000 --> 00:37:03,000
If you consider that we live with 10,000 species of living birds, that means 10,000 species of living dinosaurs, so many primitive birds that are very dinosaur-like, these are all missing links, if you want.

297
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:13,000
To date, Archaeoptrix is the only species of dinosaur paleontologists believe capable of flight.

298
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:25,000
But if this is the only flying dinosaur ever discovered, how is it, as ancient astronaut theorists argue, that all modern birds could have stemmed from this one creature?

299
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:33,000
And how is it possible that birds and certain reptiles with dinosaur genes were able to evolve?

300
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:42,000
According to evolution, all dinosaurs died out about 60 millions of years.

301
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,000
First, there are many speculations what the reason is.

302
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000
It was said that it was an impact maybe created by a meteorite.

303
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
But if this would be true, why only the dinosaurs died?

304
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,000
It should be that all kinds of animals were killed on Earth if you have a meteorite impact.

305
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,000
So that's not the case.

306
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,000
So the question is, why only the dinosaurs died?

307
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Some creatures that we are familiar with have survived from very long ago.

308
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Cockroaches, crocodiles, sharks, lizards.

309
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:26,000
So the possibility exists that there are some that we have not seen that may live at the very deep part of the ocean or in unexplored lakes.

310
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,000
We don't know.

311
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:34,000
We have a number of reports of lake monsters that have been discovered.

312
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
We have a number of reports of lake monsters around the world.

313
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:50,000
The most famous, of course, Loch Ness in Scotland are these dinosaurs that actually survived the devastation from 65 million years ago and found an ecological niche to survive it.

314
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:59,000
For skeptics who believe that the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, I pointed the case of the Silicamp.

315
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:06,000
This is a so-called fossil fish that was discovered off the coast of Madagascar back in 1938.

316
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Now, it was believed extinct for millions of years.

317
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,000
It actually predated the dinosaurs.

318
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:17,000
This is a large fish about five to six feet in length and 100 pounds.

319
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:33,000
Is it possible that the so-called evolutionary offspring of dinosaurs are a result of extraterrestrial intervention, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe?

320
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,000
And if so, how and why?

321
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Some believe the answers can be found in the very bones of the dinosaurs themselves.

322
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:59,000
In 1993, paleontologist Mary Schweitzer publishes a groundbreaking study concerning the fractured leg bone of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, one presumed to be almost 70 million years old.

323
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Here, Schweitzer discovered the remains of blood vessels and what appeared to be whole cells.

324
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Her discovery contradicted what most mainstream scientists had long believed about the perishable nature of the soft-bodied tissue of dinosaurs.

325
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:27,000
I think that the possibility of finding proteins or portions of DNA, say, in animals that lived hundreds of millions of years ago is certainly exciting because it opens up a world of panic.

326
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:35,000
A world in which we can look at the genetic structure of this ancient organism in a way that we haven't been able to thus far.

327
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Now, the current thinking has been that everything of a soft nature like that would have been ossified and would not exist today.

328
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Her research apparently shows that the genetic structure of the tissue of the dinosaur is a very different from the other.

329
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:01,000
It could be extracted and it could be used to actually recreate one or more dinosaurs to actually give us a real, Jurassic Park.

330
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:07,000
If scientists are getting closer to extracting viable DNA from dinosaur fossils,

331
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:12,000
they can be used to create a new dinosaur.

332
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:19,000
If scientists are getting closer to extracting viable DNA from dinosaur fossils,

333
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,000
is it possible, as ancient astronaut Thea suggests,

334
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:31,000
that extraterrestrials may have pioneered this technique thousands or perhaps millions of years ago?

335
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:41,000
And might they have manipulated that genetic material to make dinosaurs into numerous smaller and arguably more massive ones?

336
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:46,000
Or are they possibly more managable species?

337
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:57,000
I think it is possible that the silicon survived due to a direct guarantee by extraterrestrials

338
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:10,000
that they might have saved the silicon's DNA and reintroduced the silicon into the world's oceans millions of years after it was extinct.

339
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:22,000
And the same counts for crocodiles and turtles and all of those animals that we know of today that have survived from the age of the dinosaurs.

340
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:33,000
It's very difficult to say what would have happened if the large dinosaurs of the Mesozoic Era didn't become extinct.

341
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:40,000
But there's no doubt that the world as we know it today, in my opinion,

342
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:45,000
it must have been forged by the disappearance of the dinosaurs.

343
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,000
Maybe it was made on purpose by extraterrestrials.

344
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,000
Simply because if the dinosaurs would have survived, they would have overtaken the planet Earth.

345
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:07,000
And that was not in their plan. It was in their plan to create something like themselves, so human-like being,

346
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
so the dinosaurs were not helpful in this game.

347
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Might the extinction of dinosaurs have actually been a planned extermination by extraterrestrials?

348
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:31,000
And could some dinosaurs have actually survived the event and even coexisted with man and still exist in another form?

349
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Perhaps the answers light buried in every region of our globe.

350
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Because the more we learn about dinosaurs, the closer we may come to discovering the truth about the extraterrestrial nature

351
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:52,000
of the strangest creatures that ever lived on planet Earth.

352
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Ourselves.
