1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,040
Commandments from a divine realm,

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,640
steering the course of history.

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,840
There are people in every age

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,240
who know where the future lies.

5
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,640
There are people who set out a path

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,680
and really lead other people along this path.

7
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,280
Mysterious journeys to other worlds.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,640
Glowing clouds coming down from the sky,

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,800
pillars of fire,

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,640
voices coming from the heavens.

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,640
And strange encounters with supernatural beings

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,640
revealing visions of the future.

13
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,640
We have to ask ourselves, who were these gods?

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,640
Were they just a figment of our ancestors' imagination?

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,640
Or did they exist?

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,640
Were the prophets of the ancient world

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,640
really messengers from God?

18
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,640
Or did their knowledge come from more mysterious sources?

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,640
Prophets were targeted to be the spokesperson

20
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:03,640
for the extraterrestrial powers trying to rule the world.

21
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,640
Millions of people around the world

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,640
believe we have been visited in the past

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,640
by extraterrestrial beings.

24
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,640
What if it were true?

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,640
And if so, might there be evidence

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,640
in the stories of ancient prophets

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,640
and their mysterious predictions?

29
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,640
GABEL KASHEM ETERIF

30
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,640
Egypt

31
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,640
This mountain rising out of the Sinai Desert

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,640
is believed by some to be the site

33
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,640
of two of history's most important divine encounters.

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,640
The peak where the Biblical patriarch Moses

35
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:11,640
encountered the burning bush.

36
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:13,640
The Biblical patriarch,

37
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:15,640
the Biblical patriarch,

38
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:17,640
the Biblical patriarch,

39
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:20,640
the peak where the Biblical patriarch Moses

40
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,640
encountered the burning bush.

41
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,640
And the place where Moses later received

42
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,640
the Ten Commandments from God.

43
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:34,640
But what was the true nature of Moses' divine encounter?

44
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:36,640
Was he a normal human,

45
00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,640
randomly chosen to deliver the Word of God?

46
00:02:40,640 --> 00:02:43,640
Or did he possess a special gift,

47
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:46,640
an inherent ability to communicate

48
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:49,640
with the worldly forces?

49
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:52,640
Mystical literature from all over the world

50
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:56,640
has accounts of visitations from angels, gods,

51
00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:59,640
some kind of supernatural creatures that interact

52
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:02,640
and interfere, that represent some powers

53
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:04,640
beyond our understanding.

54
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:06,640
We see this in the Bible with Moses.

55
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,640
He is just one of several examples of leaders

56
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:12,640
who are guided by divine guidance,

57
00:03:12,640 --> 00:03:15,640
who really are getting the help of the gods

58
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:17,640
and getting to their goal.

59
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,640
In addition to stories of the Prophet Moses,

60
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:23,640
the Hebrew and Christian Testaments

61
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:27,640
also feature similar accounts of numerous other prophets,

62
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:33,640
including Elijah, Isaiah, Noah, Abraham,

63
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:37,640
Enoch, and Jesus.

64
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Prophets are a major element in almost all ancient societies.

65
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,640
These were people who functioned sort of as liaisons

66
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,640
between the mortal world and the immortal world,

67
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,640
between the gods and the humans.

68
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,640
They have a message, which is a communication from God,

69
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,640
but what's very interesting about that is not just a message,

70
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,640
the presence of God is felt to be in the words of the Prophet himself.

71
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,640
So the one who hears the Prophet

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640
actually is encountering the presence of God

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,640
and not just a message from God.

74
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,640
So if you have a Prophet who is an authority figure

75
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640
in your community and he says,

76
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,640
this God is upset about this,

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,640
and you have to use the X, Y, or Z to placate this God or goddess,

78
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,640
you did it.

79
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,640
But what's the source of these prophetic messages,

80
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,640
truly, of a divine nature?

81
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,640
According to ancient astronaut theorists,

82
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640
there is perhaps another possible explanation

83
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,640
as to who or what may have been contacting these prophets

84
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,640
of the ancient past.

85
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,640
What we're beginning to realize is that this is not religious,

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,640
but that these are people who have had anomalous experiences

87
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,640
with entities and that this is contact with a non-human intelligence.

88
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,640
Prophets and prophecies are evidence that these higher beings

89
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,640
are instructing us to help create civilization

90
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,640
for us to move forward.

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,640
And even to give us some warning of the future,

92
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,640
this is what's going to happen.

93
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,640
You need to get ready.

94
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Is it really possible that extra-terrestrial beings

95
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,640
made contact with the ancient prophets?

96
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,640
Perhaps the answers can be found by looking further into the story of Moses,

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,640
as written more than 3,000 years ago

98
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,640
and chronicled in the Hebrew Testament's Book of Exodus.

99
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Moses' first encounter with God occurs in the third chapter of the Book of Exodus.

100
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Moses encounters a burning bush and God speaks to him out of this burning bush.

101
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,640
And Moses was given a mission,

102
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,640
and the mission is to liberate the Hebrews indentured in Egypt.

103
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,640
The idea of the burning bush is very interesting to me

104
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,640
because things like burning bushes really don't exist,

105
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:07,640
especially if they all of a sudden give instructions.

106
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,640
So we have to ask ourselves, what did our ancestors describe?

107
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:20,640
And so the burning bush idea could have been a technological creation,

108
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:25,640
which Moses described as a burning bush.

109
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,640
Might the burning bush, as described by Moses,

110
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:34,640
really have been an extra-terrestrial device, a machine,

111
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,640
or perhaps even a type of spacecraft?

112
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:46,640
If so, then with whom, or with what, was Moses really communicating?

113
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:54,640
Perhaps more clues can be found in the story of another equally mysterious close encounter.

114
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,640
Telet Daba, Egypt.

115
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Some scholars and researchers believe that it was here,

116
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,640
in the northeastern region of the Nile Delta,

117
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:12,640
where the Israelites began their exodus and where Moses had his second divine encounter,

118
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,640
this time with an incredible object in the sky.

119
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:23,640
They were met partway toward their destination by what I would call a biblical image.

120
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,640
The Bible tells us that it is the presence of God,

121
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,640
manifesting himself in a dramatic way, accompanying the Israelites.

122
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,640
The question has always been asked,

123
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,640
well, what was that cloud of fire?

124
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,640
The question is, what was the fire?

125
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,640
The question is, what was the fire?

126
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640
The question is, what was the fire?

127
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,640
The question is, what was the fire?

128
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,640
The question has always been asked, well, what was that cloud of fire?

129
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,640
What is it? Is it God?

130
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,640
Or, as the ancient alien theory suggests,

131
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,640
it could have been some type of a craft, a beacon that they had to follow.

132
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,640
The Hebrew people, they were following the object, and it makes it very clear

133
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:15,640
that whenever the object was on the ground, the people stopped and camped.

134
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,640
When it was taken up, they broke camp and they moved forward.

135
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,640
The object was leading them.

136
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,640
In the description of a pillar cloud of fire, a pillar is cylindrical in shape

137
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,640
and perhaps quite hard or solid.

138
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,640
This is very similar to UFOs that are reported now.

139
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,640
The flying saucer types are more famous,

140
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,640
but the cylindrical shaped UFOs are very common and they can be very large,

141
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,640
up to a half mile in length perhaps.

142
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Some students of UFOs think these are mother ships,

143
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,640
and the fact that it's a cloud by day suggests, as in modern UFOs,

144
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,640
that there's some type of halo effect around the UFO.

145
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,640
If we look at it in that context, perhaps the ancients would have described

146
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,640
a gleaming UFO in the day as a cloud, a bright cloud,

147
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:11,640
and they would have described a brightly lit UFO at night as a fiery pillar.

148
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,640
Was this strange pillar of fire and cloud really a physical manifestation

149
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:24,640
of God, or was it an advanced technological device of an otherworldly origin?

150
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,640
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,

151
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,640
further clues may lie in the story of Moses' final divine encounter

152
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,640
on the summit of Mount Sinai.

153
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:43,640
Moses receives a message from God that he is going to land on Mount Sinai.

154
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,640
So he gathers the nation of Israel around the mountain.

155
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:52,640
This huge, bright glowing cloud lands on Mount Sinai.

156
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:57,640
And it's quite spectacular because it's surrounded by all sorts of preternatural phenomenon

157
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,640
of the sounds of trumpets and clouds and fire.

158
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,640
The Jewish people are told to stay at the bottom of Mount Sinai,

159
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,640
but Moses is authorized, and you might even say protected,

160
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:17,640
by the pillar of cloud and fire so that he can go up there and everybody else can't.

161
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:23,640
According to the biblical texts, Moses ascends the mountain and enters the glowing cloud.

162
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:29,640
There, he communes with the Almighty God, the creator of the universe.

163
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:35,640
And after 40 days, he returns, carrying the Ten Commandments.

164
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,640
But for ancient astronaut theorists, the story of what happened on Mount Sinai

165
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:47,640
may, in fact, offer compelling evidence of a very different type of encounter.

166
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,640
Moses, going up with God, being gone for 40 days,

167
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,640
it sounds very much like the Contactee experience today,

168
00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,640
where Contactees are given rules and regulations and ideas to follow,

169
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,640
you know, in terms of elevating the human race.

170
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,640
The commandments that are given go against our very animal nature,

171
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:16,640
because to some extent, what the Bible says is that God would will to give divine power to humans

172
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,640
if we could handle it, but the problem is that we don't have the ethics to handle it.

173
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,640
Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not steal.

174
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,640
The Ten Commandments are a start toward handling divine power.

175
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,640
And the prophets were picked to be the spokesperson for powers

176
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,640
that were trying to rule the world through rules and regulations,

177
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,640
commandments that would bring about moral obedience,

178
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:50,640
which is superior to following our animal instincts.

179
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:57,640
Is it possible that Moses' encounter on Mount Sinai was not with the Almighty God,

180
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,640
but with some sort of extraterrestrial messenger,

181
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:08,640
one that deliberately sought to guide and govern human behavior?

182
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Ancient astronaut theorists say that such a profound and controversial notion is possible,

183
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:22,640
and claim additional evidence can be found in the story of yet another Old Testament prophet,

184
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:29,640
one who delivered ominous warnings of the future and described unearthly beings

185
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,640
that descended from the heavens.

186
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,640
Northern Israel

187
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:45,640
According to Bible texts, it was here in the 9th century BC

188
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:52,640
that the prophet Elijah reportedly had several encounters with both angels and God,

189
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,640
during which he was given prophetic warnings of drought and cataclysm.

190
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:05,640
One of the most important prophets in Israel's tradition, of course, is Elijah.

191
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:11,640
Elijah predicts some rough things coming, and of course they do.

192
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:19,640
He warns of a drought that's going to devastate Israel and cause all his starvation.

193
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:26,640
He also is interesting because he was never known to have died,

194
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:33,640
and it's thought that in some ways, yeah, he was taken into space and lives for eternity.

195
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:39,640
In Elijah's final encounter with God, written in the second book of Kings,

196
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:49,640
the prophet goes up by a whirlwind into heaven by what's described in the Hebrew Bible as a fiery, horse-drawn chariot.

197
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:56,640
There's a story in Kings about Elijah who reported seeing this strange aerial phenomena

198
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:04,640
that was described variously as sort of bright whirlwind-like cloud lit up, clearly some sort of object in the sky.

199
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:14,640
Elijah's experience details a spinning object or a spinning beam that took him up into the object.

200
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,640
We see a whirlwind that came over him and a chariot of fire.

201
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:28,640
So the question is, was it the chariot of fire that was spinning, or was it a beam that came down and took him up?

202
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:36,640
For the faithful, this extraordinary event is believed to be a religious miracle.

203
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:46,640
But could Elijah have been chosen by heavenly beings to fulfill an other worldly purpose, as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

204
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:52,640
The one thing that many people don't realize is that the first story we can read about Elijah

205
00:14:52,640 --> 00:15:04,640
doesn't talk about that he was taken up there with horses, but just by that fiery chariot that initially was described like a fiery furnace.

206
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,640
Now what's a fiery furnace?

207
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,640
Could the fire have been some sort of engine?

208
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:16,640
When he's taken up in a whirlwind, you only have to look at, for example, when the space shuttle takes to the skies.

209
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:23,640
You know, you have this rumbling, roaring jet flames, etc., etc.

210
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,640
If you look in that context, you could really place this into a UFO category.

211
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:39,640
When you look at Elijah, there's a nuts and bolts craft there, a fiery chariot, and they get inside it.

212
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:46,640
They meet these beings, which are luminous beings, that talk to them and struck them.

213
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:54,640
It's important to realize that the biblical religion is an extraterrestrial religion, meaning that God is not from Earth.

214
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,640
We learn this in the Lord's Prayer.

215
00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:03,640
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, my kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven.

216
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,640
Extraterrestrial help is sent to Earth to help humanity in the quest to do God's will.

217
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:18,640
Was Elijah really a man chosen by other worldly beings to help them steer the course of humanity?

218
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:27,640
And if so, might this help explain other, even more incredible biblical encounters between God and mankind?

219
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:34,640
Manchester, New York, March 1830

220
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:44,640
24-year-old visionary Joseph Smith Jr. publishes The Book of Mormon and creates The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

221
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:50,640
A religious movement with more than 14 million followers today.

222
00:16:51,640 --> 00:17:00,640
Incredibly, The Book of Mormon includes Joseph Smith's personal accounts of his interaction with an other worldly being.

223
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,640
Joseph Smith had something like a vision.

224
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:09,640
He wrote that an angel appeared to him, the angel at the name of Moroni.

225
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:16,640
And this angel appeared three times and told to Joseph Smith, he should go to a certain little hill,

226
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,640
he should put a stone plate away and inside he would find a cave.

227
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,640
And in the cave, he would find unknown writings.

228
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:33,640
He showed Joseph Smith the location of the buried treasure, these golden plates with a message from some place else.

229
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,640
A new revelation, a new Book of the Bible.

230
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,640
He explained that he had come from the star system plateies.

231
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:45,640
And so, the source of the Book of Mormon is extraterrestrial.

232
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:54,640
Smith actually describes several different cases where he appears to be with this extraterrestrial Moroni.

233
00:17:54,640 --> 00:18:01,640
We really have to wonder if these aren't just mythological explanations or physical events that actually took place.

234
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,640
Joseph Smith is interesting because he meets mythical beings.

235
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:14,640
The story of Smith is to some extent unique in the sense that obviously religion was created based on what he encountered.

236
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:22,640
However, which way you want to look at this, whether it's flesh and blood alien or an actual angel, they're both extraterrestrials.

237
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,640
So there's no question about that.

238
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:37,640
They misunderstood those visits as being angelic in nature when in reality they were visited by physical space travelers.

239
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:46,640
Is it possible that the angel Moroni, who instructed Joseph Smith Jr. was in fact an otherworldly being?

240
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:56,640
And if so, could the Book of Mormon really be evidence that these beings have shared celestial information with mankind?

241
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,640
The Fourth Century BC

242
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,640
Lumbini, Nepal

243
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,640
The fourth century BC

244
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:15,640
It was during this period that the Jataka tales, ancient Buddhist poems and prose, were written.

245
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:22,640
These incredible writings document the supernatural birth and life of the supreme Buddha,

246
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:27,640
a spiritual leader upon whose teachings the Buddhist religion was founded.

247
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:38,640
The Buddhist mother is Queen Maya and it's believed that she had a dream one night that a white elephant entered her womb.

248
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,640
That she was conceived and the Buddha was born.

249
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:52,640
The Buddha is supposed to have reached enlightenment after meditating for a long time under a tree.

250
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,640
The enlightenment is called Nirvana.

251
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:07,640
According to some ancient astronaut researchers, before Buddha began laying the foundation for one of the world's great religions,

252
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:13,640
he was psychically imprinted with telepathic messages by otherworldly beings.

253
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:24,640
In Buddhism, there's an interesting story of Buddha meeting with what are called the devas or these special luminous spirits.

254
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,640
Devas are like superhuman beings, like superheroes.

255
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:38,640
They can fly, they live longer, they are stronger, they are much taller than humans.

256
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,640
They also have craft that help them fly.

257
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:47,640
You have to wonder who these devas are. In many ways, they are very much like extraterrestrials.

258
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:55,640
Buddha actually writes about this state and calls it Parna-Vana and basically says that this is also the link with the immortals.

259
00:20:55,640 --> 00:21:01,640
And other traditions basically say that this is when contact with the gods is made.

260
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,640
Many religious figures have had some type of out-of-body experience.

261
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:11,640
Buddha himself described being able to access multiple dimensions interacting with different beings.

262
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:18,640
There could be other dimensions, other realities in parallel with us that contain extraterrestrials.

263
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:31,640
Do the strange accounts of Elijah, Joseph Smith Jr. and Buddha really prove divine beings have been influencing mankind for thousands of years?

264
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:41,640
And if so, do the words of these prophets, when looked at together, reveal a master plan for the human species?

265
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:55,640
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that even more clues may be found in the centuries-old accounts of prophets and holy men who lived long before the Bible was conceived.

266
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,640
Persepolis, Iran

267
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:11,640
Here, 30 miles northeast of the city of Shiraz lay the ruins of an ancient capital.

268
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:27,640
Built by the Persian conqueror Darius more than 2,000 years ago, Persepolis was once a mighty city that legend says was protected by a powerful god named Ahuru Masta.

269
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:40,640
An etched in stone atop the crumbling remains of a building called the Tripalon is the depiction of this ancient god seated inside a winged disk.

270
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:56,640
Ahuru Masta was central to the ancient Persian religion, Zoroastrianism, and the experiences of a prophet named Zerothustra, who lived 2,600 years ago.

271
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:21,640
According to ancient Zoroastrian texts called the Ephesta, Zerothustra's first meeting with Ahuru Masta occurred at the top of a mountain that was shrouded in clouds and bathed in an eerie light.

272
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:51,640
Zerothustra carries this idea that there is this one true god. It is literally the god of truth, and truth is a great central principle in the Zoroastrian worldview.

273
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:59,640
Right and wrong, good and evil, black and white, very strong contrast, and you are to identify with the good and search the truth.

274
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:17,640
Some researchers believe these divine prophecies provide proof that the prophet Zerothustra was following commands from an extraterrestrial being, one who perhaps came to earth to sow the seeds of what is now known as civilization.

275
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:32,640
When we look at Zerothustra encountering Ahuru Masta, what we are confronted with here are human beings who are encountering non-human intelligences.

276
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:41,640
These are indicative of physical encounters. These are encounters with something which is otherworldly, yet physical.

277
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:51,640
We have to ask ourselves, were they just a figment of our ancestors' imagination, or did they exist?

278
00:24:51,640 --> 00:25:07,640
These are extraterrestrial or alien entities who come here and provide some kind of information exchange and guidance program between cultures and entities who are willing to help that culture.

279
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:21,640
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists believe, that extraterrestrials contacted prophets in the distant past in order to guide the development of human civilization?

280
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:32,640
And if so, might there be more clues found in the historical accounts of what is perhaps the most intriguing character in all of ancient Greece?

281
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,640
Mount Parnassus

282
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:51,640
On the flanks of this 8,000 foot peak lie the ruins of a marble sanctuary that was once home to one of history's most famous prophets, a temple priestess known as the Oracle of Delphi.

283
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:59,640
The Oracle of Delphi is the most famous oracle from the ancient world. There was a temple there dedicated to the god Apollo.

284
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:10,640
Apollo is the central god for prophecy, and a temple was established for Apollo in Delphi, and that became the seat of the actual oracle where people would visit.

285
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:21,640
The Oracle of Delphi was located in the temple of Apollo, which would have been, at the time, the major building structure.

286
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:33,640
This was the central point, so the oracle was all important, everything else was there because of the oracle in the complex.

287
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:48,640
Also known as Pythia, the oracle could be found sitting on a tall, three-legged seat over an opening in the earth, where vapors rising from the ground would put her into a trance.

288
00:26:51,640 --> 00:27:06,640
The Oracle of Delphi would basically channel the god Apollo. Apollo was really the god of civilization, he was the god of light, he was the god of prophecy, and she would become Apollo.

289
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:13,640
You can imagine how it is when something supernatural or superhuman comes into a human body.

290
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:25,640
It, of course, creates a fused state, essentially, it creates a weird trance. Nowadays we have movies about possessions and stuff like that, it's kind of like that, it's not necessarily demonic.

291
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:36,640
But anytime the supernatural becomes housed within something natural like a human body, it is inevitably going to be causing some kind of trance, some kind of fused state or something.

292
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:49,640
For more than a thousand years, the oracle and her numerous successors dispensed advice to everyone from emperors and generals to poets and politicians.

293
00:27:50,640 --> 00:28:05,640
Prophecy was central to the Greek worldview and the affairs of state, the planning of battles, any important decisions would be taken to the oracle to be considered to get some kind of guidance from beyond ordinary knowing.

294
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:20,640
You can come and ask about giving birth to a child, you can come and ask about crops that you want to plant, you can come and ask about joining the army, you can come and ask about undertaking a military expedition.

295
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:34,640
The priestess is there to be the liaison, and in fact when people come to the oracle and ask questions, they specifically ask the priestess, and she's the one who channels the answer from Apollo back down to the human beings.

296
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:42,640
But just what or whom was the reason for the oracle's bizarre trance-like state?

297
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:59,640
One in which, according to contemporary accounts, she could accurately predict everything from the Trojan War and the eventual decline of Greek power to the slaughter of the famed 300 Spartans at Thermopylae.

298
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:13,640
Mainstream researchers say it was most likely due to her inhalation of intoxicating fumes from various gases seeping out of Mount Parnassus.

299
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:26,640
But might she in fact have been in contact with an extraterrestrial being, one whom the ancient Greeks knew as Apollo?

300
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:42,640
The idea that Apollo was possibly some extraterrestrial makes sense because they want us to develop, they want us to have civilization, they want us to have technology, and to be like them.

301
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:53,640
We've always been their pet project, so to speak, meaning that they helped us become who we are today.

302
00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:02,640
Were ancient so-called gods like Uhuru Masta and Apollo really part of an advanced race of celestial beings?

303
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:10,640
Aliens who used human agents known as prophets to instruct and steer the course of human civilization.

304
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:19,640
If so, might these same extraterrestrials also be the force behind one of history's most infamous prophets?

305
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:30,640
A man who claimed to have visions of some of the most cataclysmic events in history, the 16th century prophet named Nostradamus.

306
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,640
Southern France, 1555.

307
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:54,640
Here, a chemist and apothecary named Michel de Nostradamus publishes an almanac titled The Prophecies.

308
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:05,640
In it, he writes more than a thousand four-line poetic verses called quatrains, verses that seem to predict the future.

309
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:11,640
Michel Nostradamus at an early age began having visions.

310
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:18,640
He would stare into the water in a bowl, and he would begin to see visions of what he thought was the future.

311
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:31,640
At the time that he was doing this, seeing into the future was considered witchcraft, and he risked being called a warlock and being taken by the Inquisition and basically killed.

312
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:48,640
So what he did was he masked his visions in quatrains for line prose poems, which he hid the future very carefully so that you wouldn't really understand the quatrains until after the event had occurred.

313
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,640
Some people say that he channeled his prophecies.

314
00:31:54,640 --> 00:32:05,640
I think he just went into either a higher state of consciousness or a very deep meditative state, and he was seeing things that he then would write about.

315
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:29,640
In the centuries after his death, Nostradamus has been credited with predicting everything from the great Chicago fire of 1871 and the rise of Hitler in the 1930s to the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in 1945.

316
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:42,640
Nostradamus was able to access information which was not available to any of his contemporaries. As such he was identified as a visionary, a seer, a prophet, whatever name we want to give him.

317
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:53,640
But perhaps the biggest unsolved mystery concerning Nostradamus is that no one knows the source of his mysterious powers of prediction.

318
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:09,640
Was he fed futuristic information from a higher spiritual power like the oracle of Delphi? Or was he obtaining his uncanny knowledge from an otherworldly or extraterrestrial origin?

319
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:17,640
We know that he somehow was able to train his brain to really make contact with something out there.

320
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:29,640
Now science is going to try and give this various names, whether it is zero point energy, the zero point field, a different dimension, whatever it is.

321
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Some researchers believe that everything and everyone connects through the zero point field, where a collection of electric charges from every thought, action and event of the past, present and future is stored.

322
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:58,640
The zero point field is thought to be where everything that ever was thought or every behavior, every action, anything that involved energy was dumped into the field and still is.

323
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:05,640
It literally contains all information for the infinite time that we have been here.

324
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:19,640
The concept of the zero point field rests on the theory that the universe occupies more than just the three spatial dimensions of height, width and depth.

325
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,640
And this evolving concept is known as string theory.

326
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:33,640
In string theory there are typically 11 dimensions that are envisioned. They're what we call very small or wrapped up or compact.

327
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:43,640
So if these dimensions are sufficiently small and curved and compact, we wouldn't be able to experience moving along them so we wouldn't know they exist.

328
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:53,640
But if string theory is in fact correct, isn't possible that the zero point field exists in another dimension?

329
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,640
One undetected by mankind.

330
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:06,640
Dozens of ancient cultures describe the existence of a cosmic well of knowledge that only certain people have the ability to access.

331
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,640
The Hindus refer to it as the Akashic record.

332
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:22,640
The Akashic record, the idea behind it is that all of the information in the universe is sort of pre-existing and an individual can actually tap in to that information.

333
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:32,640
What we see is that Nostradamus fits this perspective of people who are able to access information which is not of this world.

334
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:39,640
He was able to take his brain, his mind outside of the constraints of this reality.

335
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:51,640
And when he was there, he was able to get information which he then brought back to us and in his case wrote down so that we were able to later partake in this information.

336
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:58,640
I think any of these great prophets were accessing the zero point field or as I call it the grid.

337
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:06,640
I think we all access information that we don't normally have. I think we do it in dreams and I think we do it when we have deja vu.

338
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:13,640
So I think we're all doing this. It's a gift. It's a talent or maybe a skill that is within all of us.

339
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:21,640
So perhaps people like Nostradamus are really able to tap into that grid, that field at will.

340
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:35,640
Were the ancient prophets really able to access incredible information from a hidden dimension or from extraterrestrial beings as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?

341
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:41,640
And if so, could there still be prophets at work today?

342
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Men and women who are in league with other, perhaps other worldly forces.

343
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:56,640
Perhaps the answer can be found, not on another planet, but inside the mind of Albert Einstein.

344
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,640
September 26th, 1905.

345
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:15,640
Swiss patent clerk Albert Einstein publishes a groundbreaking paper in a German scientific journal, upending centuries of belief on how the cosmos works.

346
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:27,640
In the paper, Einstein proposes his theory of special relativity, in which he imagines a universe where both space and time are fluid and flexible.

347
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:43,640
Prior to Einstein's theory of relativity, physicists tended to view the physical world as a static, immovable universe where everything was set into its place.

348
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:50,640
The biggest change after Einstein's theory of relativity was how we viewed space and time.

349
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:57,640
We thought of space literally as just what we moved through and time is how you measured things going forward.

350
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:05,640
And Einstein made them geometrically connected to each other. They were no longer fundamentally different and you had to account for them together.

351
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:12,640
He showed that time and space were relative and that time and space can be warped.

352
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:19,640
And ultimately that time travel and space travel and black holes and time warps.

353
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,640
All of these things were possible.

354
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:31,640
Although Einstein never claimed that his profound knowledge had divine origins, as did the prophets of ancient times,

355
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:38,640
his insights into the fundamental nature of the universe were no less powerful and influential.

356
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:50,640
Whenever someone like Einstein is able to look at the universe and physics and then see things in a different way,

357
00:38:50,640 --> 00:39:01,640
this is a kind of mystic awareness and you have to wonder if it's not some contact with extraterrestrials where ETs appear to you in your bedroom,

358
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:09,640
give you some insight and knowledge that's going to help you on your way to that new scientific discovery.

359
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:19,640
Einstein's wife reported after he died that his favorite book was Isis Unveiled by Madame Blavatsky.

360
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:28,640
It's a book all about the innate psychic ability of humans, about the hidden history of the human race.

361
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:41,640
And I believe that Einstein was very much into all of this and used his own psychic abilities to create the theory of relativity.

362
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:50,640
And in fact, Einstein got the theory of relativity by standing on a street and looking at the mist surrounding a streetlight

363
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:58,640
and imagining in his head how long it took for the light to go from the streetlight, hit the mist and reflect to his eye.

364
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:10,640
And then he realized in kind of a transcendental meditative quiet moment that light travels and then the theory of relativity came from that mystical experience.

365
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:23,640
Were Einstein's insights the result of his own incredible IQ or were his discoveries aided by his ability to tap into the knowledge of the universe,

366
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:30,640
the same kind of knowledge that was also made available to the great prophets of the ancient world?

367
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:41,640
The word prophet is used in areas of innovation and great thinkers and engineers and developers of products are sometimes thought of as prophets.

368
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,640
There are new prophets constantly.

369
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:53,640
1953. James Watson and Francis Crick discover the shape and makeup of DNA.

370
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,640
In 2000, J. Craig Venter decodes the human genome.

371
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,640
Might these also be examples of modern day prophets functioning in our midst?

372
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:09,640
Prophets that are able to tap into advanced alien knowledge.

373
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:15,640
There are people in every age who know where the future lies.

374
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:22,640
And they are called prophets, whether they are Steve Jobs or Einstein or whoever.

375
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,640
They are people who set out a path and really lead other people along this path.

376
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:36,640
When you start looking into what they are, you're beginning to realize that there are certain anomalies in the lives of these people.

377
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:49,640
The information which they possessed, which helped us guide along the path, really is not theirs, but that they somehow are messengers of a larger reality.

378
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:57,640
I think prophets could be communicating with extraterrestrial, extra-dimensional beings, angels, guides.

379
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:05,640
If you're channeling information that is far beyond your own wisdom, you're automatically going to assume it's coming from somebody smarter than you.

380
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:12,640
They may be coming crossing over dimensions so that they can impart their knowledge.

381
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:24,640
But why would other worldly beings use humans to shape our religions, our politics, our science?

382
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:37,640
Is there perhaps an extraterrestrial plan for the human species, one that is guiding us to our next, or perhaps final, destination?

383
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:47,640
You have to wonder, why do they care about us? Why would they want to help us, give us prophecies, instruct us in better lives?

384
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,640
In many ways, it's only natural that they would. We're like their children.

385
00:42:53,640 --> 00:43:00,640
We try to reduce them to great prophets, great leaders, but truly they were great mystics.

386
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:11,640
And the story of a great mystic is really that he is somebody who has part of his being in this reality, and part of his being in another reality.

387
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,640
These are people who have had a foot in this dimension, but also in another dimension.

388
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:32,640
Prophets, chosen by beings from other worlds, and bearing messages that have changed the destiny of mankind.

389
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:45,640
Could there really be an ultimate plan that is, as yet, unknown to us? Perhaps the answer lies hidden, still waiting to be discovered.

390
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:52,640
Or maybe it will be revealed when they return.
