1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,160
A pattern of stars repeated in monuments throughout the ancient world.

2
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,420
It's a global phenomenon.

3
00:00:11,420 --> 00:00:14,400
There might be a celestial plan.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:22,880
Coordinates for a celestial constellation mapped out 7,000 years ago in sand and stone.

5
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:29,360
The builders clearly possessed some advanced knowledge of the constellations.

6
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:38,160
It includes that long lost civilizations may have had contact with travelers from this cluster of stars.

7
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:42,160
Orion is so important to all of these ancient civilizations.

8
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:47,040
Somehow this is linked to where we came from and where we're going.

9
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:54,480
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

10
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,360
What if it were true?

11
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,160
Ancient aliens really helped to shape our history.

12
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:14,160
And if so, might they have left behind signs revealing mankind's ultimate destination in the constellation of Orion?

13
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:33,360
The Hubble Space Telescope

14
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:39,360
The Hubble Space Telescope

15
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:47,360
January 11th, 2006

16
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:55,360
The Hubble Space Telescope captures a never-before-seen image of the Orion.

17
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:05,360
A massive star formation, 1,500 light-years from Earth.

18
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:15,360
The panoramic photo reveals more than 3,000 stars in various stages of life.

19
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:23,360
And gives researchers new insight into the formation of celestial objects and planetary systems.

20
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:31,360
According to modern scientists, it is here, in this mysterious cloud of dust and gas,

21
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,360
that stars and planets may have been created billions of years ago.

22
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:45,360
Astronomers usually refer to it as M42, not such a sexy name, but it's a stellar nursery. It's where stars are being born.

23
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,360
And so this part of Orion gets a lot of study by astronomers.

24
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:59,360
In this rapid star-forming region, you have these young stars, and very likely many, many young planets

25
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:05,360
that also form out of that gas and dust that collapse to make those stars in the Orion nebula.

26
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:15,360
Now, stars being born obviously means that certain things are happening there on a level which we simply don't really understand.

27
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:23,360
As seen from Earth, the Orion constellation is one of the most prominent star formations in the night sky

28
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,360
and has been revered by ancient cultures around the globe for thousands of years.

29
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Named after the Greek demigod Orion in the 8th century BC, when connected, the stars form the head, shoulders, belt, and feet of a man.

30
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Orion is probably one of the most recognizable constellations in the sky, maybe only second to the Big Dipper.

31
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,360
It's near the equator, and in the northern hemisphere it's visible in the winter.

32
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,360
It has a lot of bright stars and a big square that's the body of Orion.

33
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:01,360
The three major stars in the constellation are Al-Ninlam, Al-Nitak, and Mintaka.

34
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:08,360
These are the belt stars of Orion, and most people recognize the constellation by these three stars right in a row.

35
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:19,360
According to Greek mythology, Orion was a giant born with superhuman abilities.

36
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:25,360
A mighty hunter who killed animals with an unbreakable bronze club.

37
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:34,360
When the Greek hero was eventually slain, he was placed among the stars for eternity.

38
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,360
His father was in fact Poseidon.

39
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:44,360
So he knew a lot about oceans in both science. Apparently he taught Orion how to walk on water.

40
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:53,360
There's another story about him being so big that when he walks through the ocean, his head and shoulders are above the ocean, so get a sense of his size.

41
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:00,360
All of our astronomical bodies are named after major figures from Greek mythology.

42
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,360
We have these wonderful texts that describe stars and how it is that they got their names.

43
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:17,360
To write about the stars, to write about the heavens, to write about the bodies in space is essentially to be talking about the realm of the gods.

44
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:27,360
The constellation of Orion in all traditions, and particularly the Egyptian tradition, is usually regarded as a striding man.

45
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,360
The Greek soym is a hunter, many other cultures soym as a giant.

46
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,360
Sometimes we have him depicted as smiting the enemy, sometimes he is trampling across the serpent.

47
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,360
But in each case, we know that Orion is depicted as a human being.

48
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:51,360
It's entirely possible that a character like Orion was based on an actual human being.

49
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:59,360
Because we have to keep in mind that for the Greeks, what they called mythology or myth, the mythic past, was just older than ancient history.

50
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:08,360
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that Orion was named for an actual flesh and blood being?

51
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:16,360
Or might there be another, more profound reason, this demigod and the stars that form his body were worshiped?

52
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:30,360
Some researchers believe the answers can be found by looking at the origin stories of a civilization that thrived in the Nile River Valley more than 2,000 years before the Greeks.

53
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:40,360
According to Egyptian mythology, the gods descended from the belt stars of Orion, and Sirius, the brightest star in the sky.

54
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:52,360
The ancient Egyptians believed that from Sirius and Orion came beings in the form of humans, or Ziles and Isis, and instigated the human race.

55
00:06:52,360 --> 00:07:03,360
Metaphorically, it very much matches what we know from astrophysics, we know that we are the product of stars. We're literally made of star stuff.

56
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,360
Sirius and Orion are critically important because they represent Isis and Osiris.

57
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:17,360
The god and goddess from which all of Egyptian civilization and ultimately all of human civilization supposedly sprang.

58
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:25,360
So to the ancient Egyptians, Osiris was Orion. That constellation actually was the literal living embodiment of the great god Osiris,

59
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:36,360
who was always over our heads, always looking down upon us, and always judging us because in the end, he would be the guy that would decide whether we got eternal life,

60
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,360
or whether we were recycled back through the spiritual mulch and had to start all over again.

61
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:52,360
Ancient Egyptians were very clear that Orion was linked with creation, specifically magic creation.

62
00:07:52,360 --> 00:08:03,360
And so if we accept what our ancestors were saying, mythology all of a sudden becomes more interesting because all of a sudden we see the truth as to what Orion really stands for.

63
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:10,360
And it is all to do with creation, magical creation, and creation in those days was linked with the gods.

64
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:22,360
Orion and Osiris are the same in ancient Egypt. The Egyptians believed that Osiris will return from Orion one day.

65
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Every culture in antiquity had the knowledge of somebody who returns one day. We are still expecting the return of someone.

66
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:46,360
Are the creation stories of the Egyptians actually documentation of mankind's other worldly origins, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

67
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:54,360
And if so, might they have left behind more evidence, perhaps written in stone?

68
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:09,360
According to the pyramid texts, a collection of religious records carved into the walls of pyramids dating back to 2400 BC, the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Unas,

69
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,360
ruled for 30 years before making his final voyage to the star system Orion.

70
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:29,360
Unas, who according to the pyramid texts, apparently became great by eating the flesh of his mortal enemies and then slaying and devouring the gods themselves.

71
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:42,360
Some say that this was based on a belief in contiguous magic, whereby consuming the flesh of great people would bring inheritance of their powers.

72
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:50,360
After devouring the gods and absorbing their souls and powers, Unas journeyed through the sky to Orion.

73
00:09:51,360 --> 00:10:01,360
Might the writings in the pyramid texts actually be more than myth, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

74
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:10,360
And could the pharaoh Unas actually have traveled into space? If so, how?

75
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:21,360
When you listen to the ancient Egyptians, they clearly tell us that the purpose of the great pyramid was not as a tomb, but rather as a sort of a womb of transformation.

76
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:31,360
The pharaoh would enter into it as a man, and through the process of the technology that the pyramid is built for, the pharaoh is transformed into a god,

77
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:37,360
so that now he is an ascended being who is capable of traveling into the stars and also returning.

78
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:47,360
They seem to have wanted to create a kind of an ancient launching pad, sort of Cape Canaveral of the pharaohs.

79
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:56,360
The idea was to build the hardware in order to somehow get the sword that came going to the stars.

80
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:08,360
Is it possible that the pharaohs of ancient Egypt were able to travel back and forth to the stars of Orion by using the pyramids?

81
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:19,360
According to ancient astronaut theorists, the proof can be found by examining an elaborate series of air shafts embedded within the great pyramid,

82
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:25,360
air shafts that point directly to the stars of Orion and Sirius.

83
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:40,360
There is definitely a lot of scientific data that has shown that the pyramid, the entire Giza Plateau, the alignment of the air shafts from the kings and queens chamber are all pointing to Orion,

84
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:48,360
and so that may be a message to us that that's where these extra terrestrials were from.

85
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:58,360
The whole concept that the three pyramids at Giza are in a special alignment of Orion's belt is very interesting,

86
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:09,360
and this would seem to indicate that Orion was the destination for the stargate that they were building at Giza.

87
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:16,360
Why does the great pyramid have air shafts that point to Orion?

88
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:23,360
Is it possible they served as a kind of intergalactic gateway between the Earth and Orion?

89
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:30,360
And if so, might this be further proof of our extra terrestrial origins?

90
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:46,360
There are those who believe clues can be found in the middle of the Nubian Desert, where researchers have discovered what may be the world's oldest megalithic complex pointing to Orion.

91
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Southern Egypt

92
00:12:51,360 --> 00:13:06,360
500 miles south of Cairo, on a desolate plain in the eastern region of the Sahara Desert, lies the mysterious archaeological site known as Nap de Playa.

93
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:31,360
Discovered by a team of scientists in 1974, researchers believe the megalithic stones scattered here were once part of a vast and complex ritual center for an ancient civilization that thrived from 6400 to 3400 BC, just before the rise of the Egyptians.

94
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:40,360
We knew that there were many prehistoric sites in the Sahara, in this part of the Egyptian Desert.

95
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:49,360
What Nap de Playa is different is that it wasn't a settlement, it was clearly a ceremonial site, and a very intriguing one.

96
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,360
It had strange things.

97
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:59,360
One of the centerpieces is a circle that has been called the mini stonehenge of the desert.

98
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:13,360
For more than three decades, this circular stone structure and its intricate alignment to the belt stars of the Orion constellation have baffled archaeologists.

99
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:28,360
The builders of Nap de Playa seem to be aware of a level of physics and understandings of mathematics that they interlined into these structures, which clearly say they possessed some advanced knowledge of the constellations.

100
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:40,360
Engineer Robert Baval and astrophysicist Thomas Brophy have studied the configuration of this mysterious monument for more than ten years.

101
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:53,360
In their book Black Genesis, they suggest the stone circle is a star viewing diagram that aligns with the belt stars of Orion at the summer solstice.

102
00:14:54,360 --> 00:15:00,360
The calendar circle is a smaller stone arrangement and the megalithic alignments point to stars.

103
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Now the calendar circle, we think, represents a diagram that teaches how the sky moves long term.

104
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:14,360
What we're looking at right here is a small mock-up of the actual calendar circle of Nap de Playa.

105
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:22,360
These actual stones would come up to about your knee and the whole circle would be about twelve feet across or so.

106
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,360
And there are these two sets of gates on the outer parts of the circle.

107
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:33,360
And this gate is pointing towards where the summer solstice sun rises.

108
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:43,360
According to mainstream scientists, radiocarbon dating indicates the site was constructed nearly 7,000 years ago.

109
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:55,360
Taking this time frame into account, Brophy studied the positioning of the gates and the center stones and discovered that it was then in 4,900 BC

110
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:03,360
when three of the center stones lined up precisely with three of the brightest stars in the constellation of Orion.

111
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:12,360
If we look up in the sky at that time, these three stones right here, they represent the Orion's belt stars exactly as they were seen at that time.

112
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:18,360
So the idea is the stones represent a map of the stars in the sky.

113
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:30,360
Is it really possible, as some researchers believe, that the stones of Nap de Playa correspond with the alignment of Orion's belt

114
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,360
as observed just before the summer solstice 7,000 years ago?

115
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:45,360
If so, why and how would ancient man have created such an advanced diagram of this constellation?

116
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:53,360
Mysteriously, the inhabitants of Nap de Playa vanished around 3,400 BC.

117
00:16:54,360 --> 00:17:04,360
Some researchers believe they migrated 60 miles east, where Egypt's Nile Valley civilizations emerged in the 4th century BC.

118
00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:10,360
The astronomy from Nap de Playa was exactly the same astronomy that the pyramid builders.

119
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:19,360
So suddenly what we thought was originate to the pharaohs was pushed back now to these prehistoric people thousands of years before.

120
00:17:20,360 --> 00:17:28,360
We call them the star people, we have no idea where they came from, that lived in the Sahara when it was fertile for thousands of years before the pyramid builders.

121
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:36,360
We went to try and trace their origins and we've taken the track all the way now to the extreme southwest of Egypt.

122
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:44,360
We've actually seen those people believe it or not. They left us drawings in caves. Some of them look pretty strange.

123
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:48,360
They're very tall, slender people with a very strange head.

124
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:55,360
Now whether this is artistic representation, I don't know, but they're certainly very mysterious.

125
00:17:57,360 --> 00:18:04,360
Who are the star people and why was the exact location of Orion so important to them?

126
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:09,360
Were they simply another advanced ancient civilization lost to time?

127
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:17,360
Or could it be possible that the star people of Nap de Playa were literally visitors from another world?

128
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:28,360
Perhaps a deeper understanding of Orion can be found here in the ruins of one of the most astronomically advanced ancient civilizations.

129
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:49,360
Central Mexico. Just 35 miles northeast of Mexico City lie the ruins of Teotihuacan, an ancient city that sprawled 7 square miles and was once inhabited by more than 150,000 people.

130
00:18:50,360 --> 00:19:01,360
Researchers believe the impressive structures here, including two large pyramids and a temple, were built by the Mayans in the second century BC.

131
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:09,360
And like the Egyptian pyramids of Giza, the monuments point directly to the three stars of Orion's belt.

132
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:19,360
And this is not coincidental. The layout of the pyramids of Teotihuacan are in the formation of Orion's belt.

133
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:27,360
The Mayans are very specific about Orion's belt. They say it is a point of creation.

134
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:35,360
It is said that in 3114 BC the gods came from the heavens to earth in a convention.

135
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:38,360
And this convention occurred in Teotihuacan.

136
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:43,360
You find many of these so-called Orion correlations in many other countries.

137
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:57,360
It's surprising that some of these ancient structures not only form the image of Orion on the ground, but they are based on units of measurements that somehow correlate.

138
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:02,360
There seems to be some sort of link. It's a very complex subject and it's very intriguing.

139
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:11,360
But how could there be similar structures pointing to Orion, built by civilizations located thousands of miles apart?

140
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:19,360
Was it just a cosmic coincidence that both the Egyptians and the Mayans revered the same constellation?

141
00:20:20,360 --> 00:20:26,360
Or could there really be a connection between Orion and the birth of mankind?

142
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:32,360
There might be a celestial plan developed by an ancient civilization that's long gone.

143
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:38,360
And that's why we find all these Orion correlations in various spots all over the globe.

144
00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:46,360
Because a single source at one time distributed this kind of mythological material all over the world.

145
00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:55,360
It's possible that the structures that we see on earth that are aligned with Orion were created that way because the extra-terrestrials that came from Orion

146
00:20:56,360 --> 00:20:58,360
directed the builders to do that.

147
00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:08,360
They would do that so that we would remember the place where these beings came from and also to align ourselves with the energies coming from Orion.

148
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:21,360
Could these monuments in Egypt and Central America really have been built to commemorate mankind's celestial origins, as some researchers suggest?

149
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:28,360
Or is it possible there is an even more profound explanation for these advanced alignments?

150
00:21:29,360 --> 00:21:36,360
Perhaps not only to honor our star ancestors, but also to reconnect with them in the future.

151
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:51,360
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and that the ultimate proof can be found half a world away in an area that has become known as the cradle of civilization.

152
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:58,360
Northern Iraq, 1849.

153
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:18,360
On the eastern bank of the Tigris River, near the city of Mosul, a team of archaeologists from the British Museum discovers thousands of clay tablets containing cuneiform script they believe to have been written by Babylonian priests in the 7th century being the first to come.

154
00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:23,360
The tablets were found in the city of BC.

155
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:32,360
Among the tablets found were two mysterious relics that have become known as the Babylonian star catalogs.

156
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:44,360
According to translations of the ancient text, these tablets describe the precise movements of various celestial bodies, now known as the zodiac.

157
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:57,360
We know so much about the history of Babylonia because of the excavation and deciphering of huge numbers of these cuneiform texts.

158
00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:14,360
They were steeped in a religious view of life, and intrinsic to their religion was devotion to the gods of the planets, different constellations.

159
00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:22,360
So this was what we call the cosmic religion.

160
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:35,360
According to some researchers, these clay tablets provide proof that the ancient civilization of Babylon obtained celestial knowledge from star travelers.

161
00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:48,360
The Babylonian star catalogs are an interesting collection of information with accurate mathematical equations, distance between planets, esoteric knowledge that a primitive civilization really shouldn't have.

162
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:54,360
It really starts to raise the question as to how they got this information, what they were using it for.

163
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:59,360
Was it possibly given to them by extraterrestrials that they claim were gods?

164
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:13,360
Like many other ancient cultures, the Babylonians describe Orion as both a constellation and a supreme being.

165
00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:22,360
In their writings, Orion is referred to as the loyal shepherd of heaven and the chief god of heavenly realms.

166
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:31,360
Might these records actually provide more evidence connecting ancient man to other worldly beings?

167
00:24:32,360 --> 00:24:43,360
For the Babylonians, this constellation of Orion was called Sipazi Anna, which means the shepherd of Anu.

168
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:50,360
Usually we would translate that the shepherd of heaven because Anu was seen as the god of heaven.

169
00:24:51,360 --> 00:25:03,360
If we go back even further, we find an earlier depiction of Orion as in a bird-like form and was referred to as a messenger.

170
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:12,360
The figure of a bird was located on the stones behind the figure of the shepherd.

171
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:19,360
His position may indicate that he was bringing messages back and forth from earth to Orion.

172
00:25:20,360 --> 00:25:23,360
Now the real question is, how did he do this?

173
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:27,360
Is this all meant to be taken symbolically?

174
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:36,360
Is it possible that what we have here is a very rudimentary description of a type of interstellar communication device?

175
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:46,360
Are the Babylonians, star catalogs potentially even documenting an ancient extraterrestrial space station orbiting the earth?

176
00:25:46,360 --> 00:25:52,360
Inhabited by ancient aliens who came from Orion?

177
00:25:55,360 --> 00:26:02,360
Is it possible the Babylonian gods were actually extraterrestrial messengers from Orion?

178
00:26:04,360 --> 00:26:12,360
And if so, might these other worldly visitors have created mankind here in the fertile crescent,

179
00:26:12,360 --> 00:26:17,360
where civilization historically started more than 5,000 years ago?

180
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:24,360
The Babylonians had a strong tradition of the origin of human beings and it has some variations,

181
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:31,360
but the basic principle that you find amongst the Babylonians is the gods wanted to sleep a lot and they wanted to eat a lot

182
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:38,360
and they got tired of doing the farming themselves and preparing the food and so they created a group of lesser beings,

183
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:43,360
human beings is what it was to do the farming and so on for them.

184
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:54,360
On the edge of Mesopotamia, the dawn of civilization, this was one of the first spots where ancient aliens came to begin to seed civilization on the planet.

185
00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:59,360
Civilization that grew into the civilization of Sumer and Babylonia.

186
00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:07,360
If you look at the Sumerian hieroglyphs, the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the stories of the Maya,

187
00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:17,360
if you look at all these cultures, what you'll see is the same story told in different ways in different languages.

188
00:27:17,360 --> 00:27:24,360
Those who came from the stars came here and they started human civilization.

189
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:36,360
Are the origin stories of Babylon located in the cradle of civilization the ultimate proof of our divine connection

190
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:39,360
to the Orion constellation?

191
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:48,360
And if so, might there be a profound reason the stars of Orion's belt are located above the naval?

192
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:56,360
The place on the body symbolically linked with the origin of humans, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest.

193
00:27:56,360 --> 00:28:00,360
Many ancient cultures point to the Orion's belt as the gateway for life.

194
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:07,360
The Mayans, the Egyptians, all these various cultures seem to reference the beginnings of life and the endings of life,

195
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:10,360
transferring or passing through the Orion's belt.

196
00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:18,360
Is this somehow some type of seeding of life that's taking place here on Earth in a connection with the Orion constellation?

197
00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:31,360
It would seem that there was some awareness for the ancient peoples that they have a sense for Orion being at the heart of our galaxy.

198
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:36,360
And I think the next question which we need to begin to answer is this.

199
00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:45,360
Is it possible that somehow this birthing place of stars also allows us to make a connection with other creatures,

200
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,360
with intelligences somewhere out there in the universe?

201
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:59,360
Considering the Orion nebula is a nursery of stars, is it possible the belt stars of Orion

202
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:05,360
literally marked the spot in the galaxy where all life on Earth began?

203
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:17,360
And if we came from Orion, as some ancient cultures suggest, might there be a way to summon the return of our otherworldly creators?

204
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:30,360
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to evidence in an epic alignment to the stars of Orion, located in the American Southwest.

205
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:39,360
Black Mesa, Northeastern Arizona

206
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:48,360
The Native American Hopi tribe has called these peaks of the Colorado Plateau home for more than 1,000 years.

207
00:29:49,360 --> 00:30:02,360
High above the Arizona desert, their reservation, encompassing more than 1.5 million acres, consists of 12 villages.

208
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:09,360
Ancient astronaut theorists have studied these mysterious sites for years,

209
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:18,360
discovering what they consider to be countless pieces of evidence of extraterrestrial contact in the ancient past.

210
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:28,360
According to their research, both the Hopi landscape and the tribe's mythology are centered on Orion.

211
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:43,360
The Hopi migrated all over the Southwest after a series of building villages and abandoning these villages.

212
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:50,360
They came to these three primary mesas in Northern Arizona. They call them first, second and third mesas.

213
00:30:51,360 --> 00:31:00,360
The Hopi mesas shape Orion's belt's image, and it is said that the Hopi specifically came here because of the shape.

214
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:07,360
So we know that the Hopi are extremely interested in Orion's belt. This is the center of their universe.

215
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,360
They say it is a place where they can make contact with the gods.

216
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:21,360
According to some researchers, not only do the three mesas represent the stars in Orion's belt,

217
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:32,360
but when connected to other Hopi landmarks throughout the Southwest, the collective sites map the entire body of the Orion constellation.

218
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Every major star of the constellation corresponds to a ruin site or a village that the Hopi are currently living in.

219
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:51,360
For instance, the left shoulder of Orion is a place called Wupakki. It's north of Flagstaff, Arizona.

220
00:31:52,360 --> 00:32:02,360
And they built this ruin about 1120 AD. They lived there for a century or so, and then they abandoned this place.

221
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:10,360
There's another place called Homolavi Ruin. It's by Winslow, Arizona.

222
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:18,360
And this corresponds to the right shoulder of Orion and the star Beetlejuice.

223
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:26,360
The Hopi also settled up north of the mesas. This corresponds to the star Rigel.

224
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:33,360
And there's a whole complex of villages that corresponds to the right foot of Orion.

225
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:40,360
The star is Scythe. So you have the star mirror as above so below.

226
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:49,360
That's what the Hopi were trying to achieve when they built this pattern, which took about three centuries to construct.

227
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:59,360
But how did the Hopi ancestors know to align their homes and sacred places so perfectly with the Orion constellation?

228
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:06,360
Is it possible that they received help from star travelers, as some researchers believe?

229
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:17,360
According to Hopi myth, the creator god, Masao, directed the tribe over hundreds of years as they migrated to the three mesas.

230
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,360
The place Masao instructed them to wait for his return.

231
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:31,360
The god Masao was there at the beginning, waiting for the Hopi. This is a very spooky looking god.

232
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:38,360
This god has large round eyes and a round mouth and a big bulbous head.

233
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:50,360
He taught the Hopi agricultural ways. He's frequently seen with the staff in his right hand, like the constellation Orion.

234
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,360
Masao told the people where to build their villages.

235
00:33:56,360 --> 00:34:01,360
There was also a tale about a certain star that the Hopi would follow.

236
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:08,360
Now a star that moves across the sky and stops when the Hopi are supposed to stop and build their village.

237
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:14,360
That sounds like some sort of extraterrestrial craft that were guiding the Hopi across the desert.

238
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:27,360
This is Fahada Butte, where according to ancient Hopi legends, their god Masao descended from the sky.

239
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:36,360
At night, the Orion constellation would basically hang in the sky right above this Butte.

240
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:43,360
And the story goes that Masao landed on top of this platform.

241
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:54,360
So my question is, did some type of an extraterrestrial visitor land on top of this Butte right here in some type of a craft?

242
00:34:54,360 --> 00:35:02,360
And the answer is yes, someone or something from the cosmos descended.

243
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:14,360
Could the Hopi god of creation, Masao, actually have been an extraterrestrial traveler from Orion, as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

244
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:23,360
And if so, why did this god instruct the Hopi to migrate around the southwest in the pattern of this constellation?

245
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:31,360
Is it merely coincidence that the Hopi aligned their cities with Orion just as the ancient Egyptians did?

246
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,360
I don't think so. I think this is clear evidence that they were instructed to do so.

247
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:41,360
The Hopi people were trying to pay homage to their star ancestors.

248
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:51,360
The ancestors that came from the constellation Orion and gave them this information about the constellation and the place that they came from.

249
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,360
And that's why they built this pattern on the Arizona desert.

250
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:05,360
It's more or less a way that the Hopi could memorialize the origin of their celestial ancestors that came from Orion.

251
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:18,360
The Hopi's are saying that at each point of creation, each cycle of time, Masao makes contact with them and quite often tells them that an end of a cycle is going to happen.

252
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,360
And then he safeguards them from destruction.

253
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:35,360
It is felt that this created deity is intricately linked with Orion and somehow only allows communication when somehow the geographical layout resembles Orion's belt.

254
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,360
So what they're hoping for now is really the return of Masao.

255
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:56,360
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists believe, that ancient Hopi legends of the creator god Masao provide further proof of contact with our extraterrestrial ancestors from Orion?

256
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:05,360
And if so, might the Hopi have been signaling for the return of these other worldly beings through their epic alignment to the constellation?

257
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:19,360
Or could there be a more profound reason their landscape points to the stars of Orion, perhaps one that will ultimately guide mankind back to our celestial birthplace?

258
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:23,360
Giza

259
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:26,360
Teotihuacan

260
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,360
Naptiplaya

261
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,360
Black Mesa

262
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:44,360
Could these ancient monuments, all aligned to the stars of Orion, really be linked to each other, providing clues to our celestial beginnings?

263
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:53,360
Or is there perhaps another, even more profound connection between mankind and the constellation?

264
00:37:54,360 --> 00:38:02,360
So why is it that the most important archaeological sites on our planet resemble the constellation Orion?

265
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,360
I think it's not a coincidence.

266
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,360
And so the question is, where did this come from?

267
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:16,360
Was there somehow some technology available to us, to our ancestors, or did somebody map at an ancient point in time it for them?

268
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:23,360
Were they given this science and did they just treasure it and maintain it until a moment in time when it was clearly lost?

269
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:43,360
When you look at these Orion correlations, pyramids at Giza, the beliefs of the Mayans, what it seems to show is that Orion is where we came from, it's where the extraterrestrials came from.

270
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:55,360
And if we were to go to Orion, what we would probably find there is a planet very, very similar to that of Earth.

271
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:09,360
Is it really possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists contend, there is a planet similar to our own in the constellation of Orion?

272
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:15,360
And if so, what, or perhaps who, would we find there?

273
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:28,360
If we did get to the Orion constellation and the stars that make up Orion, especially around the Orion Nebula star-forming region, we would find a region of the galaxy that's kind of similar to our own but more active.

274
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,360
More stars with planets likely.

275
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:37,360
There's still a lot of room for opinion because there are still unknowns.

276
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:47,360
So my own opinion is, yes, life is probably either extremely likely elsewhere or else we don't have a clue as to what life really is.

277
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:54,360
So if we're looking for life elsewhere in the galaxy, a good place to start looking would be Orion.

278
00:39:55,360 --> 00:40:02,360
Even with today's technology, traveling to Orion would take hundreds of thousands of years.

279
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:13,360
But might there be another, more profound mechanism, perhaps from out of this world, that would make such an expansive trip in one lifetime possible?

280
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:28,360
In 1935, 30 years after his groundbreaking special theory of relativity, Albert Einstein published a collaborative paper called the Einstein-Rosen Bridge.

281
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:38,360
According to this theory, ridges or black holes exist in the universe, allowing shortcuts through space and time.

282
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:43,360
Today, physicists refer to them as wormholes.

283
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,360
It's 1500 light-years distant about to Orion.

284
00:40:50,360 --> 00:41:00,360
If we were somehow able to use wormhole technology, then conceivably we could shorten the travel time or even make it instantaneous.

285
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:07,360
Although the theory, even of how wormholes could work, is still being developed.

286
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,360
Almost anything that's possible theoretically in physics exists somewhere in our universe.

287
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:19,360
So I believe that wormholes exist somewhere, but not anywhere close to Earth.

288
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:32,360
Might advanced extraterrestrial beings have traveled here, not in a spacecraft, but through an interdimensional space-time portal, as some researchers suggest.

289
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:40,360
If so, is it possible the Egyptian pharaohs really were able to journey to Orion through their pyramids?

290
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:49,360
And could there be a way for us to rediscover that otherworldly knowledge and return to our celestial birthplace?

291
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:55,360
Might the Orion constellation also be mankind's ultimate destination?

292
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:03,360
Orion is so important to all of these ancient civilizations. We know that they were seen as points of creation.

293
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:09,360
We know that the ancient Egyptians used it in their passport to the afterlife.

294
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,360
And so we know that this is a place of origin, but also a place of destination.

295
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:19,360
They tell us that somehow this is linked to where we came from and where we're going.

296
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:35,360
I think the prevalence of the myths about Orion and the alignments with Orion suggest that the extraterrestrial beings who came from Orion infiltrated or instructed various civilizations throughout time and left this as evidence of their appearance.

297
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:41,360
Thousands of years ago there were extraterrestrials. We know this from tradition.

298
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:48,360
And before the extraterrestrial disappeared, they told our ancestors, yes, we will return.

299
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:55,360
The humans could not understand what this was. They looked up to the sky. They saw the glittering shining stars.

300
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,360
This is deep. This is endless. They believed this is heaven.

301
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,360
The gods are in heaven and they will return one day.

302
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:11,360
Are the widespread creation tales surrounding Orion really just myth?

303
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:23,360
Or might they be historical accounts of extraterrestrial beings that visited Earth in the distant past as ancient astronaut theorists believe?

304
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:34,360
And is it possible the stars of Orion actually represent not only the origin, but the final destination for mankind?

305
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:44,360
If so, how will we get there? And what or who will we find when we arrive?

306
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:55,360
Perhaps one day we'll unlock the mystery of Orion and reveal a celestial origin within ourselves.
