1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
They found up to 40 or 50 people inside this cave.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
One was allegedly seven feet, seven inches tall.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Grey-skinned creatures.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
An essential humanoid, but with disproportionately large heads

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000
and huge black almond-shaped eyes.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
And beings with godlike powers.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
This was a person who was a little more than human.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Throughout history, the human race has been a huge part of the human race.

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:36,000
Throughout history, there have been stories of strange beings and fantastic creatures.

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
But could they be more than just myth?

11
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:46,000
In my opinion, these people were misinterpreted flesh and blood space travelers.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
What if it were true?

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And if so, might we find proof by examining the faces of the gods?

16
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000
PROT vibrant music

17
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Kowachi, Peru

18
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,600
2000 years ago, this ancient settlement served as the religious and cultural capital of the

19
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,920
Nazca people.

20
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:07,400
But sometime around 500 AD, the Nazca mysteriously disappeared, leaving Kowachi to fall into disarray.

21
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:16,840
1400 years later, in 1910, anthropologist Alashir Lijka came to Kowachi to study the ancient

22
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,440
Nazca civilization.

23
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:32,200
During a dig, he unearthed some of the most surprising and shocking artifacts he had ever seen.

24
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:40,280
They were skulls, with enormous, elongated craniums.

25
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Where did they come from?

26
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160
How did they get there?

27
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,240
And were they human?

28
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:53,120
In Peru, we find these weird, elongated skulls.

29
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,000
And they're bizarre looking.

30
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,440
I mean, and these people look like aliens.

31
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,160
One may say, okay, aliens.

32
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:14,360
But another aspect that we have to consider is that skull and cranial deformation, forming

33
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:22,440
elongated heads, is a practice that's known throughout much of the ancient world.

34
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:29,040
In 1870, the process of skull deformation was well chronicled by a German botanist and

35
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,080
explorer named George Shveinforth.

36
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:39,440
While exploring the African Congo, he came in contact with a tribe called the Monkbitu.

37
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,960
They routinely performed a ritual of cranial binding that allowed them to physically alter

38
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:49,240
the shape of human skulls.

39
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:56,080
They took infants' skulls and compressed them and bound them.

40
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,560
And they forced the cranium out and elongated.

41
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,680
And in many cases, they doubled the size.

42
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:11,800
And a big question is, why was this being done?

43
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:18,360
It may have been a way to distinguish the elite, perhaps, from the everyday people.

44
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,000
It may have been a social stratification type of issue.

45
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,200
Something that also appeals to me is that it may have been a way to express physically

46
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:37,040
and maybe try to achieve physically greater levels of consciousness or higher levels of

47
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,120
mental ability.

48
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:46,760
In my opinion, they did this in order to mimic the gods.

49
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:53,400
And those gods were physical beings because if they were just a figment of our ancestors'

50
00:04:53,400 --> 00:05:01,240
imagination, I don't think that's a compelling enough reason to expose your children to such

51
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,960
a ritual to achieve that type of look.

52
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:12,520
And in my opinion, these people were misinterpreted flesh and blood space travelers.

53
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:18,920
Some people have suggested aliens had elongated skulls and apparently ancient peoples are

54
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,920
mimicking those skulls.

55
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:29,240
The old saying is that imitation is a sincerest form of flattery.

56
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,400
Although there have been many images that attempt to depict what aliens might actually

57
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:39,120
look like, one in particular has come to dominate the public perception.

58
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Two features an elongated cranium and is associated with an extraterrestrial race that many refer

59
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,520
to as the greys.

60
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,600
In terms of entities, one very common description are the so-called greys.

61
00:05:55,600 --> 00:06:02,720
Three and a half, four feet tall, essentially humanoid but very spindly with disproportionately

62
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,680
large heads and huge black almond shaped eyes.

63
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,680
But would someone in a primitive society really want to replicate this look and deform their

64
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,320
skull?

65
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,920
Some archaeologists have a different perspective.

66
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,960
They point to artistic self-expression as an explanation of these customs.

67
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,480
There are all kinds of people that either worship the body or use the body as art.

68
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Be it a tattoo or piercing of some sort or tribes that put things in their ears or in

69
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,040
their lips to try to grow parts of their body.

70
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,680
Some societies we know practice binding parts of the body, feet or heads and try to make

71
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,680
certain shapes and this was done for whatever reason we know today that this isn't usually

72
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,040
the most healthy thing to do but it doesn't mean people don't do it.

73
00:06:55,040 --> 00:07:03,440
People are always trying to change their body to make it look a certain way.

74
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,560
Whatever the explanation may be for these rituals, they are not just found in Peru and

75
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,840
the African Congo.

76
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,240
Skull deformation is a global phenomenon.

77
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:21,080
What's really strange is that this is found all over the world and this is something that

78
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:29,080
archaeologists cannot easily explain because for people on remote islands, for people in

79
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:37,760
South America or Malta or in Africa to suddenly independently do this cranial deformation like

80
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,960
this seems incredible.

81
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:46,880
I mean this is something that had to be learned.

82
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,600
Something that was taught to them.

83
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:59,040
We seem to have basic similarities as if there was one civilization or at least one type

84
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:06,520
of culture that was influencing people around the world.

85
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:12,240
I find it more and more difficult to believe what I was taught as an undergraduate that

86
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:20,720
all these different cultures just coincidentally came up with the same concepts independently

87
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,720
of each other.

88
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,560
Could it be that the elongated skulls found throughout the world are really the result

89
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:39,720
of ancient humans trying to emulate the appearance of other worldly visitors or could they really

90
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,640
be the skulls of extraterrestrials?

91
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,960
Ancient astronaut theorists believe further clues can be found by examining other strange

92
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,040
bones and relics.

93
00:08:53,040 --> 00:09:01,800
Relics that may provide proof of giants.

94
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,120
Lovelock, Nevada.

95
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:10,880
In the early 1800s, local legends passed down by the Paiute Indians, told of a race of giants

96
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,320
who were exterminated by their tribe.

97
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,280
It is said this was done by trapping the giants in a cave, shooting arrows at them and then

98
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:27,880
starting a large fire at the mouth of the cave.

99
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:40,400
Relics of the slaughter lay undisturbed until the early 20th century.

100
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Lovelock Cave was first discovered by local ranchers who were looking for bat guano to

101
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,520
use in their fields.

102
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:55,000
In need of fertilizer for their crops, the ranchers removed nearly 10 feet of guano-enriched

103
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,760
soil from the surface of the cave.

104
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:03,560
And then they began finding human remains.

105
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:12,160
They found up to 40 or 50 people inside this cave.

106
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:16,800
One was allegedly 7 feet, 7 inches tall.

107
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:24,800
They all had long red hair and were literal giants.

108
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:30,600
If these skeletons were the remains of the legendary red-haired giants, were they visitors

109
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,240
from distant continents?

110
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:40,120
Throughout the 19th century, many giant skeletons were allegedly discovered in the Midwest,

111
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,640
also in parts of California and around Death Valley.

112
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:50,960
And the skeletons here found at Lovelock are one of the few that were really excavated

113
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,840
by an accredited university.

114
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:00,520
Archaeologists from the Nevada Historical Society and the University of California believed

115
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:06,800
the cave was occupied from approximately 1500 BC until a few hundred years before white

116
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:12,360
men appeared in the Nevada territory.

117
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:19,240
75 miles from the cave site, a local museum has preserved several skulls that some believe

118
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:25,040
are recovered remains of the giants.

119
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:32,120
Inside this cabinet here are three skulls from the Lovelock caves.

120
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:40,640
When you first see these skulls, they seem to be pretty much normal looking skulls.

121
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:50,760
However, it's when we really start to compare the jaw bones with this modern dental impression

122
00:11:50,760 --> 00:12:01,000
of a normal adult male that we see that these jaw bones are unusually large.

123
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:11,120
And these are really the skulls of giant people who are perhaps seven, even eight feet tall.

124
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:17,000
One of the odd things with these skulls is that they're not actually put on display here

125
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,960
at the museum and they're kept hidden in this cabinet.

126
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:28,240
Now, we don't know if that's really just out of respect for the Native Americans or whether

127
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:33,040
there's really something unusual about these giant skulls that they don't want them to

128
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,200
display.

129
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,480
Are the Nevada bones evidence of a race of giants that existed all through early human

130
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,480
history?

131
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:49,760
If so, could the giants be the descendants of extraterrestrials?

132
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:56,480
According to the Hebrew Testament, one such giant appeared in the Valley of ELA 2500 years

133
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,960
ago.

134
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:05,120
Each morning for 40 days, a Philistine giant over nine feet tall challenged the Israelites

135
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,160
to a fight.

136
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:13,160
His name was Goliath.

137
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:18,000
David and Goliath is one of those episodes in the Bible where you wonder what is going

138
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000
on.

139
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,480
Is it just a metaphor or are we dealing with a fundamental interpretation?

140
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,720
And in that sense, Goliath has to be a giant creature.

141
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,800
The question then is, he cannot be human.

142
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,560
What is he?

143
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:40,560
David's stunning triumph over Goliath was considered a mere fable.

144
00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:48,280
Until archaeologists turned up evidence that suggests this confrontation really did happen.

145
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:54,560
On the outskirts of Telasaph Israel, scientists discovered a moat that may have once protected

146
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:56,720
the Philistine fortress.

147
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:05,000
Nearby, they found shards of pottery inscribed with the name Goliath.

148
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:11,720
Tests indicate the pottery is from the same time period as described in the Bible.

149
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,920
Ancient astronaut theorists claim this is unmistakable evidence of extraterrestrial

150
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,960
giants in biblical times.

151
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Are we dealing with metaphors or are we dealing with hard evidence?

152
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,000
Are these physical creatures which somehow roamed the earth?

153
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And I think on volume, we have to accept that some of these were real.

154
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:39,880
The question then is, how did these genetic freaks come about?

155
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:46,480
One of the main tenets of ancient astronaut theory suggests that a long time ago, extraterrestrials

156
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:55,720
changed our genetic makeup through a targeted mutation of our genes, essentially in the lab.

157
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:04,200
So they took a couple of human beings, altered their DNA, then reinserted those people back

158
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,880
into the population.

159
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:12,480
So through procreation, those people would pass on those new genetic alterations to the

160
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,280
entire population.

161
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the evidence points to one conclusion, that aliens changed

162
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,280
the genetics of early human DNA.

163
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:34,160
For an alien being to work with DNA is so easy that just creating a new type is not at all

164
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,640
that difficult.

165
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,440
Even today, we have the capability to create new types of animals.

166
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,560
The question is, were we created as such as well?

167
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,360
Did giants really walk the earth thousands of years ago?

168
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,880
And if so, could they have been from another world?

169
00:15:53,880 --> 00:16:02,000
Or perhaps the result of alien experimentation with human DNA?

170
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,040
Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the stories of yet another type of otherworldly

171
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:22,680
being, winged creatures that descended from the sky as angels.

172
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:31,040
Rome, Italy, stored in the treasury of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican, is the sarcophagus

173
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,000
of Junius Bassus.

174
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,320
Created in 359 AD, the sarcophagus features what some believe to be the earliest known

175
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:48,280
depiction of winged angels in all of Christianity.

176
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:55,600
In the centuries that followed, angels were almost always depicted as having wings.

177
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,120
But why?

178
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,720
Especially since the actual biblical texts rarely describe angels as having bird-like

179
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,680
appendages.

180
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,840
The vast majority of the stories in the Old Testament, angels aren't described as having

181
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,120
wings at all.

182
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:15,040
Some of them, they look human.

183
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:19,880
When the angel comes to visit Abraham, this angel does not have wings.

184
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,560
He looks like a man.

185
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,440
Abraham bows to him, which is interesting.

186
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,320
How did Abraham know?

187
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:31,100
If he looks like a human being, what was it that gave Abraham the clue to run over and

188
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:32,900
bow down to him?

189
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:34,860
And so there's a supernatural quality.

190
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:40,180
There's a superhuman quality that they acknowledge that this was a person who was a little more

191
00:17:40,180 --> 00:17:42,020
than human.

192
00:17:42,020 --> 00:17:51,620
The concept of the angel as such comes directly out of the Greco-Roman tradition.

193
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:56,180
Stories of Hermes and Iris kind of coming down and giving messages.

194
00:17:56,180 --> 00:18:02,100
Giving them as beings, like human beings, kind of looking like human beings and being

195
00:18:02,100 --> 00:18:04,420
benevolent.

196
00:18:04,420 --> 00:18:09,060
There are plenty of other beings which have these beautiful wings, these kind of forms

197
00:18:09,060 --> 00:18:15,780
and shapes, but all of these beings, however they're conceived of, are a way of telling

198
00:18:15,780 --> 00:18:21,780
us that we have a hard time understanding what it is that separates us from them, from

199
00:18:21,780 --> 00:18:23,860
the gods.

200
00:18:23,860 --> 00:18:29,860
They have to be these kind of weird beings who have wings.

201
00:18:29,860 --> 00:18:34,500
Angels show up in various cultures as probably misidentified technology.

202
00:18:34,500 --> 00:18:39,020
If they saw someone, a human being or a humanoid, flying in the skies, they could only give

203
00:18:39,020 --> 00:18:42,460
it a natural review, giving it wings.

204
00:18:42,460 --> 00:18:44,500
I don't think they actually had wings.

205
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:49,820
It was ancient man's way of saying they had the power of flight.

206
00:18:49,820 --> 00:18:54,740
The angels that have wings that we're used to seeing depicted in pictures of the Bible

207
00:18:54,740 --> 00:19:00,140
and what have you, basically the wings say these beings can fly.

208
00:19:00,140 --> 00:19:06,820
So we believe in angels and the Native Americans talk about the star people.

209
00:19:06,820 --> 00:19:12,740
The Egyptians talk about the gods coming to and from the earth.

210
00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:18,300
So I believe this is the basis, this is the template for the civilizations of the earth's

211
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:19,540
religious practices.

212
00:19:19,540 --> 00:19:25,500
I believe that.

213
00:19:25,500 --> 00:19:31,740
For centuries, religious tradition has perpetuated the notion of bird-like wings to explain an

214
00:19:31,740 --> 00:19:34,340
angel's mode of travel.

215
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:38,420
But is such a concept even scientifically plausible?

216
00:19:38,420 --> 00:19:48,340
In 2009, a study at University College London compared classic depictions of winged angels

217
00:19:48,340 --> 00:19:50,340
with actual bird physiology.

218
00:19:50,340 --> 00:19:54,580
You have to be able to both flap down and flap up.

219
00:19:54,580 --> 00:19:58,180
And you really need a separate muscle to do each of these.

220
00:19:58,180 --> 00:20:01,260
On the way down, you're generating the lift.

221
00:20:01,260 --> 00:20:08,260
And you actually have to rotate the wing slightly and get a different angle as you come up.

222
00:20:08,260 --> 00:20:10,180
And then they actually generate their thrust.

223
00:20:10,180 --> 00:20:14,900
Otherwise, if you just went up and down in the same straight pattern, you'd be making

224
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:20,700
lift one way, but when you went back the other way, you just push yourself back down.

225
00:20:20,700 --> 00:20:25,980
So when you look at the classic pictures of angels, the wings are centered on their back,

226
00:20:25,980 --> 00:20:28,340
very close together.

227
00:20:28,340 --> 00:20:33,060
Whereas the birds with the wings on the side can have longer muscles with great strength

228
00:20:33,060 --> 00:20:35,180
that go into moving them up and down.

229
00:20:35,180 --> 00:20:38,340
With the wings on the back, they're going to look like they're going to flap more like

230
00:20:38,340 --> 00:20:43,100
this than up and down.

231
00:20:43,100 --> 00:20:49,220
Others also concluded that angels, given their humanoid interpretation, would be simply too

232
00:20:49,220 --> 00:20:51,540
heavy for flight.

233
00:20:51,540 --> 00:20:55,380
We're not designed aerodynamically, and we're quite heavy.

234
00:20:55,380 --> 00:20:58,700
I mean, we're solid bones, solid muscle.

235
00:20:58,700 --> 00:21:04,100
So those two features, you have to overcome.

236
00:21:04,100 --> 00:21:08,940
But if angels could not have possessed actual wings, how would they have managed to travel

237
00:21:08,940 --> 00:21:16,340
to and from the heavens?

238
00:21:16,340 --> 00:21:21,100
Angels were never described to fly around like Superman, but they sort of had a vertical

239
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:26,100
ascent into the sky, or when they descended it was a vertical descent.

240
00:21:26,100 --> 00:21:29,740
How was that possible?

241
00:21:29,740 --> 00:21:37,300
In 1953, Bell Aero Systems developed the rocket belt, the precursor to today's workable jet

242
00:21:37,460 --> 00:21:39,660
pack.

243
00:21:39,660 --> 00:21:45,980
Designed to lift individuals vertically into the air and glide them across the skies, today's

244
00:21:45,980 --> 00:21:53,620
jet packs can reach altitudes of over 8,000 feet and travel at speeds of up to 60 miles

245
00:21:53,620 --> 00:21:58,420
per hour.

246
00:21:58,420 --> 00:22:04,900
If you look at a modern jet pack, humans are ascending and descending in a vertical position.

247
00:22:05,900 --> 00:22:13,900
Now imagine if that picture was shown to our ancestors, how would they react?

248
00:22:13,900 --> 00:22:22,420
Obviously, they will say, wow, this creature must be divine.

249
00:22:22,420 --> 00:22:29,420
This creature must be some type of a god because they've got the capability of flight.

250
00:22:30,420 --> 00:22:33,020
They're like birds.

251
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:36,420
Not even the sky is the limit to them.

252
00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:45,420
Did our ancestors try to explain an ancient alien technology by suggesting that extraterrestrial

253
00:22:45,420 --> 00:22:50,420
visitors were heavenly visitors with bird-like wings?

254
00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:58,420
If the answer is yes, the implications are both profound and potentially disturbing.

255
00:23:00,420 --> 00:23:07,420
For if angels are actual visitors from other worlds, then what is their mission?

256
00:23:07,420 --> 00:23:09,420
Are they simply watching us?

257
00:23:09,420 --> 00:23:16,420
Or is there, perhaps, a more sinister purpose?

258
00:23:19,420 --> 00:23:28,420
Oaxaca, Mexico, situated on a low mountain range, rising above the central plain, lie

259
00:23:28,420 --> 00:23:32,420
the ancient ruins of Monte Alban.

260
00:23:32,420 --> 00:23:39,420
Here, around 100 BC, researchers believe the Zapotec Indians worshipped a blood-thirsty

261
00:23:39,420 --> 00:23:46,420
Mayan god with the body of a man and the head of a bat.

262
00:23:46,420 --> 00:23:50,420
They called him Kamazatz.

263
00:23:50,420 --> 00:23:56,420
The iconography is rather striking, the image of a half-man, half-bat.

264
00:23:56,420 --> 00:24:05,420
A man with the head of a bat and wing-like cloak spread out with the crosses of bones in the lining.

265
00:24:05,420 --> 00:24:12,420
The Zapotec people in the Oaxaca area of Mexico believe that winged creatures, bat-like creatures,

266
00:24:12,420 --> 00:24:15,420
come in the night.

267
00:24:15,420 --> 00:24:21,420
They will attack and they will drink blood and disappear without ever being noticed.

268
00:24:22,420 --> 00:24:33,420
This is simply a sort of anthropomorphic bat, which was worshipped by the sacrifice of libations of blood.

269
00:24:35,420 --> 00:24:43,420
So what did it was? They cut themselves and poured it into a bowl and offered it to the god.

270
00:24:43,420 --> 00:24:50,420
Blood was a very important substance to the Mayan.

271
00:24:51,420 --> 00:25:00,420
That is what gave humans life, blood and breath, was what the essence of life was.

272
00:25:00,420 --> 00:25:06,420
That's where this kuhul, this divine essence resided in blood and in breath.

273
00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:13,420
When you would die, you entered into the underworld. It was called Shibalba.

274
00:25:13,420 --> 00:25:20,420
Then, if you defeated the Lords of Death, you would then ascend into the heavens and become one of the revered ancestors.

275
00:25:20,420 --> 00:25:25,420
The blood is the thing that reconnects the world that we live in with the world of the dead.

276
00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:33,420
Some of the earliest archaeological evidence shows that blood rituals were present as far back as we can search.

277
00:25:33,420 --> 00:25:51,420
Legends and myths of supernatural beings with traits similar to vampires are a part of nearly every ancient culture.

278
00:25:51,420 --> 00:26:01,420
In Hindu folklore, for example, the Vattala was known as an evil spirit that took demonic possession of corpses.

279
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:09,420
The Indian goddess Kali was also intimately linked with blood sacrifices.

280
00:26:09,420 --> 00:26:17,420
Kali becomes the destroyer and she is portrayed as a haig like woman with a whole number of arms.

281
00:26:20,420 --> 00:26:25,420
Each carrying a sword, she is the goddess of death and destruction.

282
00:26:25,420 --> 00:26:31,420
Her eyes are red and she drips blood from her mouth.

283
00:26:33,420 --> 00:26:37,420
She's known to take infants from their crib and drink their blood.

284
00:26:41,420 --> 00:26:51,420
In North America, early Cherokees believed in a bloodthirsty creature that slaughtered humans, drank their blood and ate their livers.

285
00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:59,420
Known as the Olunta, this demon was said to possess eternal life while feeding on the living.

286
00:27:01,420 --> 00:27:09,420
The notion of the thing from the spirit world travelling through the various Indian nations was a great fear.

287
00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:15,420
Among not only the Cherokee but also the Sioux and Arapaho.

288
00:27:16,420 --> 00:27:23,420
But who or what are these mysterious creatures and where did they come from?

289
00:27:24,420 --> 00:27:32,420
Might they be as ancient astronaut theorists believe, extraterrestrial beings abandon here on Earth?

290
00:27:36,420 --> 00:27:43,420
In the ancient Jewish Talmud, the Genesis story set in the Garden of Eden includes Adam and Eve,

291
00:27:43,420 --> 00:27:46,420
but also a woman called Lilith.

292
00:27:49,420 --> 00:27:53,420
In Jewish folklore, Lilith was the first wife of Adam.

293
00:27:54,420 --> 00:27:58,420
She was created from the same Earth as Adam, not from his rib as Eve was.

294
00:27:59,420 --> 00:28:05,420
But she proved to be very disobedient and uncontrollable and had to be banished.

295
00:28:06,420 --> 00:28:18,420
According to the Talmud, when Lilith refused to obey Adam, God sent three angels to convince her to submit to his authority.

296
00:28:19,420 --> 00:28:25,420
But when Lilith refused for the final time, God condemned her to live on Earth for eternity.

297
00:28:25,420 --> 00:28:32,420
In a sense, Lilith was the first vampire to wander the Earth.

298
00:28:33,420 --> 00:28:37,420
She shared all of the characteristics of female vampires.

299
00:28:38,420 --> 00:28:46,420
Lilith had the head and breast of a woman, the body of a snake and the wings of a bird, which is a terrifying creature.

300
00:28:47,420 --> 00:28:55,420
In Jewish tradition, Lilith has been a kind of night demon against whom incantations and prayers have to be offered,

301
00:28:56,420 --> 00:29:04,420
because she will come and snatch away an infant sleeping in its crib, or at least snatch away its soul and cause it to die.

302
00:29:04,420 --> 00:29:16,420
But why are tales of blood-sucking creatures so prevalent throughout the ancient world?

303
00:29:17,420 --> 00:29:23,420
Light blood and the unique chemistry of it serve as a kind of cosmic fuel,

304
00:29:24,420 --> 00:29:33,420
one that connects the living to the dead, the human to the inhuman, the earthly to the otherworldly.

305
00:29:34,420 --> 00:29:43,420
Blood is the life force of humans, and it was very important to extraterrestrials too.

306
00:29:44,420 --> 00:30:01,420
There's something very special about our blood, so we have to think that if these blood sacrifices aren't some distortion of what was originally just extraterrestrials showing us how important our blood was.

307
00:30:04,420 --> 00:30:09,420
Angels, demons, the grays.

308
00:30:11,420 --> 00:30:22,420
Are they all various interpretations of one type of extraterrestrial species, a species that has been visiting our planet for thousands of years?

309
00:30:23,420 --> 00:30:27,420
Or are they descriptions of several different alien visitors?

310
00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:37,420
Ancient astronaut theorists believe further clues can be found by examining the ancient Greek stories of fish people.

311
00:30:41,420 --> 00:30:54,420
Cape Sunion Greece, perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the sea, lies the ruins of the temple of Poseidon, built in 440 BC.

312
00:30:54,420 --> 00:31:03,420
The second son of the Titan king Cronus, Poseidon was worshipped throughout Greece, almost as much as his younger brother Zeus.

313
00:31:05,420 --> 00:31:11,420
Poseidon was the god of the sea, he was also the god of earthquakes and strangely horses.

314
00:31:12,420 --> 00:31:18,420
When Poseidon was in a good mood he created new lands out of the sea, he gave calm waters for good voyages.

315
00:31:19,420 --> 00:31:22,420
When he was in a bad mood he destroyed ships and brought storms.

316
00:31:25,420 --> 00:31:33,420
Poseidon does rule over the kingdom of the sea, it is envisioned as a kind of a place where people live.

317
00:31:34,420 --> 00:31:42,420
And when he comes out of that place, yes he rides the spectacular kind of like water chariot that is driven by dolphins and he holds on to a really big trident.

318
00:31:43,420 --> 00:31:53,420
In Greek mythology, Cronus eats all of his children except for Zeus, who eventually rescues his siblings, including Poseidon from the belly of his father.

319
00:31:54,420 --> 00:32:00,420
A potion is prepared that makes him heave up all the other siblings of Zeus and they become the gods of Olympus.

320
00:32:02,420 --> 00:32:09,420
But ancient astronaut theorists believe this Greek myth is actually a metaphor for an extraterrestrial event.

321
00:32:10,420 --> 00:32:20,420
They believe the notion of gods being vomited up from the belly of their father actually describes mutinous aliens being expelled from the mothership.

322
00:32:25,420 --> 00:32:30,420
Any being which is swallowed up into a living creature will not be able to survive for three days.

323
00:32:31,420 --> 00:32:34,420
It will die from suffocation and will begin to decay.

324
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:38,420
What we have here is not a creature but something else.

325
00:32:39,420 --> 00:32:44,420
It could have been an object which was clearly of a man-made or extraterrestrial origin.

326
00:32:45,420 --> 00:32:53,420
A mutiny took place. Some of the extraterrestrials they had sex with wonderful earthly females, women.

327
00:32:54,420 --> 00:33:03,420
They were not allowed to do this. So one of these extraterrestrials who were not allowed to go back with the mothership had the name of Poseidon.

328
00:33:04,420 --> 00:33:13,420
Poseidon felt in love with the beautiful human girl and he made her pregnant.

329
00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:20,420
Poseidon is married, right? He's got a child. He's got some grandchildren, right?

330
00:33:20,420 --> 00:33:25,420
There's a whole cast of sea nymphs as well. All of them presumably live in this place.

331
00:33:26,420 --> 00:33:38,420
Poseidon has the power of the deep, the unseen place. If you look out at the sea you see a surface and you're aware there's a whole world below that suggesting power is beyond that which meet the eye.

332
00:33:38,420 --> 00:33:54,420
Among the mythical creatures associated with Poseidon are the telkines, a race of advanced fish children. These human-like beings could live both in and out of water.

333
00:33:55,420 --> 00:34:06,420
There are masters of technology and seem to match up with the fish gods of ancient Sumeria who worked for Enki, the great god of alchemy and technology in Smithcraft.

334
00:34:06,420 --> 00:34:19,420
The telkines are also kind of in the shadowy territory of god-human monster things. They're just these kind of figures who are not gods but who are like human beings.

335
00:34:20,420 --> 00:34:33,420
There's one story about the Roman version of Zeus Jupiter trying to destroy them. Now we don't know whether they are actually all destroyed but it's possibly because of their relationship to the magic.

336
00:34:37,420 --> 00:34:50,420
In Greek legend the telkines were also metallurgists. They were said to have created Poseidon's magical trident and to have cast the first bronze statues of the gods of Olympus.

337
00:34:52,420 --> 00:35:01,420
And according to some historians the telkines may not have been creatures of myth but were beings who actually existed.

338
00:35:06,420 --> 00:35:18,420
There were people called telkines. We do actually have evidence of these beings. They were actual ancient Greeks who had specific tasks and traits like metallurgy, like smithing and so on.

339
00:35:19,420 --> 00:35:28,420
And so you could see how it is that a being like telkines that these things could in fact not just be these mythological beings but like actual people.

340
00:35:29,420 --> 00:35:34,420
So the way that we look at the ancient Greeks and Romans would have been the way that they would have looked at the stories that are being told about the Illium.

341
00:35:37,420 --> 00:35:46,420
We've got the stories of the telkines and they were able to survive underwater for unlimited amounts of time.

342
00:35:47,420 --> 00:35:53,420
Now how is such a thing possible unless you have access to some type of technology?

343
00:35:53,420 --> 00:36:11,420
An Israeli company is currently developing a human artificial gill system that allows humans to take oxygen from surrounding water without the need of oxygen tanks.

344
00:36:12,420 --> 00:36:19,420
You potentially can remain underwater for unlimited amounts of time.

345
00:36:23,420 --> 00:36:31,420
All the technology that we are discovering today is in fact old news. It's been around before.

346
00:36:32,420 --> 00:36:37,420
Could the ancient Greek myths really be based on actual events?

347
00:36:38,420 --> 00:36:48,420
And if so, were the telkines early humans in possession of alien technology? Or could they themselves have been otherworldly beings?

348
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:57,420
Perhaps the answer can be found by exploring the Middle Eastern stories of shapeshifters known as the Jinn.

349
00:37:02,420 --> 00:37:05,420
Temple Mount, Old City, Jerusalem.

350
00:37:08,420 --> 00:37:16,420
It was here that many biblical stories reportedly occurred, including the binding of Isaac from Genesis 22.

351
00:37:19,420 --> 00:37:25,420
In this story, God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah.

352
00:37:26,420 --> 00:37:37,420
Abraham sets out to obey God's command, but after binding his son and preparing for the sacrifice, he is stopped at the last minute by an angel.

353
00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:46,420
Conventional interpretations of the story usually conclude that God only wanted to test Abraham's faith.

354
00:37:47,420 --> 00:37:54,420
But ancient astronaut theorists suggest the tale has another interpretation.

355
00:37:55,420 --> 00:38:01,420
In my opinion, God, God would never ask such a question.

356
00:38:02,420 --> 00:38:12,420
So is it possible that it was a fallen angel, slash alien extraterrestrial, who posed as God?

357
00:38:15,420 --> 00:38:23,420
God never demands human sacrifice. Human sacrifice is totally anathema to Christianity and it's totally anathema to God as a creator.

358
00:38:24,420 --> 00:38:28,420
The French philosopher Sartre very famously wrote,

359
00:38:29,420 --> 00:38:34,420
If an angel were to tell me I needed to sacrifice my son, I'd ask for some ID.

360
00:38:36,420 --> 00:38:43,420
Maybe somebody else impersonating a God, and do we then have somebody stepping in to actually prevent this from happening?

361
00:38:44,420 --> 00:38:52,420
Are we in fact maybe confronted with two warring civilizations trying to control what is happening in the stories of the Bible?

362
00:38:53,420 --> 00:39:01,420
Just like there are good people and bad people here on earth, there's good and bad extraterrestrials out there.

363
00:39:02,420 --> 00:39:09,420
Good and evil permeates the entire universe. Yin and yang, there's a balance.

364
00:39:12,420 --> 00:39:18,420
Deep inside the Middle Eastern country of Oman, a mysterious cavern lies hidden far beneath the surface,

365
00:39:19,420 --> 00:39:23,420
called modulus al-jin, or meeting place of the gin.

366
00:39:24,420 --> 00:39:31,420
It stretches more than 14 acres underground and is one of the world's 10 largest caves.

367
00:39:32,420 --> 00:39:41,420
Many Omani still believe this cavern and others like it are actually inhabited by supernatural creatures of Islamic folklore,

368
00:39:41,420 --> 00:39:48,420
called gin, or genies, mystical creatures that are usually invisible to man.

369
00:39:50,420 --> 00:39:53,420
One interesting aspect of the gins is an element of free will.

370
00:39:54,420 --> 00:40:01,420
They're like angels, but we think of angels in the West as under the direct command of the divine powers.

371
00:40:02,420 --> 00:40:09,420
But the gin can make some decisions for themselves and some of them are a little contrary or curious in their way of being.

372
00:40:12,420 --> 00:40:21,420
According to Islamic theology, genies often reveal themselves to humans with messages, which can be either benevolent or deceptive.

373
00:40:23,420 --> 00:40:30,420
But is it possible that genies actually exist? If so, where did they come from?

374
00:40:31,420 --> 00:40:38,420
When we talk about genie, genie in a bottle, it's very interesting because you rub the bottle and then the genie comes out of it and it fulfills your wishes.

375
00:40:38,420 --> 00:40:42,420
Well, let's look at this from a modern day perspective.

376
00:40:43,420 --> 00:40:51,420
If you have a little container and you push a button and a hologram comes out, then could that be a genie in a bottle?

377
00:40:52,420 --> 00:41:05,420
And according to the ancient astronaut theory, that is exactly what happened where extraterrestrials used holograms in order to relay messages, that is essentially a genie in a bottle.

378
00:41:09,420 --> 00:41:18,420
Like angels, gin are said to be able to appear and disappear at will and are sometimes only heard as disembodied voices.

379
00:41:20,420 --> 00:41:34,420
But while some ancient astronaut theorists believe this behavior resembles that of extraterrestrials, others claim that angels, gin and other supernatural creatures have origins right here on Earth.

380
00:41:35,420 --> 00:41:38,420
They call these beings ultra-terrestrial.

381
00:41:40,420 --> 00:41:45,420
Ultra-terrestrials are possible beings that travel and visit us from other dimensions.

382
00:41:46,420 --> 00:41:49,420
We know that we all vibrate in the three-dimensional space at a certain frequency.

383
00:41:50,420 --> 00:41:57,420
It's very possible that other beings vibrate in a higher frequency and are able to pass more easily into other dimensions.

384
00:41:58,420 --> 00:42:12,420
The ultra-terrestrial theory would also explain the folkloric creatures, the angelic creatures, any sort of experience of a strange supernatural or alien being that's occurred throughout history.

385
00:42:12,420 --> 00:42:23,420
Angels and demons, giants and genies, did they actually exist?

386
00:42:24,420 --> 00:42:28,420
And if so, could they have come here from somewhere out of this world?

387
00:42:29,420 --> 00:42:30,420
But why?

388
00:42:31,420 --> 00:42:35,420
Were they sent here to shape mankind's past or its future?

389
00:42:36,420 --> 00:42:39,420
Did they need to do us harm or good?

390
00:42:42,420 --> 00:42:47,420
Perhaps even more importantly, could they still be here?

391
00:42:48,420 --> 00:42:51,420
Living among us, undetected.
