1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000 Mysterious skulls. 2 00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:06,640 The DNA didn't match anything known to be human. 3 00:00:06,740 --> 00:00:09,280 Bizarre mutations. 4 00:00:09,380 --> 00:00:12,980 This could be a reptilian type of humanoid life. 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,180 And terrifying monsters. 6 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,660 The Apache had a demonic figure that could petrify you 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,560 through its gaze. 8 00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:22,720 In cultures throughout the world, 9 00:00:22,820 --> 00:00:27,360 there are stories of strange human-like gods. 10 00:00:27,860 --> 00:00:30,700 Could our ancestors have really encountered 11 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,500 these otherworldly beings? 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,960 And might they have a connection to us? 13 00:00:37,060 --> 00:00:40,540 What we have are remnants of the teachers 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,580 that visited mankind in the remote past. 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,640 Our DNA contains a lost extraterrestrial gene that's 16 00:00:47,740 --> 00:00:50,580 now resurfacing at the right time. 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,220 Since the dawn of civilization, mankind 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,320 has credited its origins to gods and other visitors 19 00:00:58,420 --> 00:01:00,580 from the stars. 20 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,260 What if it were true? 21 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,020 Did extraterrestrial beings really 22 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,520 help to shape our history? 23 00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:13,660 And if so, might humans be just one link in the chain 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,300 of alien evolution? 25 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:28,060 megacol As Pop Rain 26 00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:32,180 deficit, 27 00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:53,540 number 41. 28 00:01:53,540 --> 00:02:01,540 of 2.8 pounds, 25% heavier than the average adult male skull. 29 00:02:01,540 --> 00:02:07,220 It has a cranial capacity of 1,500 cubic centimeters, 30 00:02:07,220 --> 00:02:09,220 20% greater than normal. 31 00:02:11,860 --> 00:02:15,060 And it is missing a sagittal suture. 32 00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:18,700 The connective tissue joint found between the parietal bones 33 00:02:18,700 --> 00:02:21,300 in all human skulls. 34 00:02:21,460 --> 00:02:26,020 This is just one of hundreds of strange, misshapen skulls 35 00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:29,540 that have been found on the southern coast of Peru, 36 00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:33,140 dating back to 1927. 37 00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:37,140 It was at this time that archaeologist Julio Teo 38 00:02:37,140 --> 00:02:40,740 first excavated a massive burial complex 39 00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:43,380 thought to have been built by the Baracas people 40 00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:47,780 who lived in the region from 800 BC to 100 BC. 41 00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:53,780 Julio Teo was the father of Peruvian archaeology. 42 00:02:53,780 --> 00:02:57,780 In the 1920s, he discovered mummy bundles, 43 00:02:57,780 --> 00:03:03,780 and in each mummy bundle was a person with an elongated skull. 44 00:03:03,780 --> 00:03:07,780 They were buried in family mausoleums, 45 00:03:07,780 --> 00:03:11,780 in some cases as deep as 30 feet into the bedrock. 46 00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:15,780 Mainstream archaeologists say the elongation 47 00:03:15,780 --> 00:03:19,780 is most likely the result of headbinding, 48 00:03:19,780 --> 00:03:22,780 which involves wrapping the heads of infants 49 00:03:22,780 --> 00:03:27,780 while their skulls are still soft in order to change the shape. 50 00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:30,780 It is a practice found in numerous cultures 51 00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:35,780 throughout the world that dates back thousands of years. 52 00:03:35,780 --> 00:03:40,780 But why would people desire to elongate the heads of their children? 53 00:03:40,780 --> 00:03:44,780 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that headbinding 54 00:03:44,780 --> 00:03:48,780 originated with primitive humans who were attempting to imitate 55 00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:52,780 the appearance of extraterrestrial visitors. 56 00:03:52,780 --> 00:03:55,780 But according to researcher Brian Forster, 57 00:03:55,780 --> 00:03:59,780 the assistant director of the Baracas History Museum, 58 00:03:59,780 --> 00:04:03,780 headbinding would not account for the other anomalies 59 00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:06,780 that the Baracas skulls exhibit. 60 00:04:07,780 --> 00:04:11,780 About 5% of the elongated skulls that we find in Baracas 61 00:04:11,780 --> 00:04:16,780 are so complex in shape and size that it's hard to believe 62 00:04:16,780 --> 00:04:21,780 that they're the result of any form of cranial deformation or headbinding. 63 00:04:22,780 --> 00:04:25,780 Not only are they elongated vertically, 64 00:04:25,780 --> 00:04:29,780 but also the eye sockets are much larger than normal. 65 00:04:30,780 --> 00:04:33,780 There are two holes in the back of the skull, 66 00:04:33,780 --> 00:04:38,780 called foramen, through which blood and nerve flow occurred, 67 00:04:38,780 --> 00:04:42,780 and also their jaws were very robust. 68 00:04:43,780 --> 00:04:49,780 Among the largest of them, we find skulls 60% heavier than normal human skulls 69 00:04:49,780 --> 00:04:55,780 at a brain capacity that is 2.5 times larger than the normal human brain. 70 00:04:59,780 --> 00:05:05,780 But if these elongated skulls were not the result of the ancient practice of headbinding, 71 00:05:05,780 --> 00:05:10,780 then just who or what were these mysterious beings? 72 00:05:11,780 --> 00:05:17,780 In 2014, DNA testing was performed on Baracas skull number 44, 73 00:05:17,780 --> 00:05:20,780 which rendered surprising results. 74 00:05:21,780 --> 00:05:23,780 Some initial DNA testing has been done, 75 00:05:23,780 --> 00:05:27,780 and the results, according to the geneticists, are quite scartling. 76 00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:32,780 There were certain segments of the DNA that didn't match anything known to be human. 77 00:05:33,780 --> 00:05:39,780 What it suggests to me is that Baracas could very well have been an ancient bloodline 78 00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:46,780 related to Homo sapiens, but not specifically Homo sapiens itself. 79 00:05:48,780 --> 00:05:51,780 When you look at this kind of archaeological evidence, 80 00:05:51,780 --> 00:05:56,780 you're seeing concrete, tangible DNA testable proof 81 00:05:57,780 --> 00:06:02,780 that extraterrestrials walked on Earth right among us. 82 00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:11,780 Personally, I think it is quite possible that what we have there are remnants of the so-called teachers 83 00:06:11,780 --> 00:06:15,780 that visited mankind in the remote past. 84 00:06:17,780 --> 00:06:23,780 Could it be that this skull and other similar skulls found in southern Peru 85 00:06:23,780 --> 00:06:26,780 are something other than human? 86 00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:31,780 While mainstream scholars continue to dismiss this possibility, 87 00:06:31,780 --> 00:06:37,780 there is now evidence that at one time the Earth was inhabited by other species 88 00:06:37,780 --> 00:06:43,780 that possessed intelligence equal to, or even greater than, humans. 89 00:06:47,780 --> 00:06:51,780 Gibraltar, September 1, 2014. 90 00:06:52,780 --> 00:06:57,780 Inside Gorham's cave, on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, 91 00:06:57,780 --> 00:07:05,780 anthropologists announce a finding that fundamentally changes our understanding of early human history. 92 00:07:05,780 --> 00:07:12,780 A pattern of cross-hatched lines carved into the rock over 39,000 years ago 93 00:07:12,780 --> 00:07:17,780 is the first known example of cave art created not by our ancestors, 94 00:07:17,780 --> 00:07:22,780 but by another intelligent species, the Neanderthals. 95 00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:29,780 Previous to this, it was generally regarded that only anatomically modern humans had that capability. 96 00:07:29,780 --> 00:07:37,780 That cave paintings and etchings and making of figurines was really something that was restricted to modern humans. 97 00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:45,780 And so the Gibraltar site clearly indicates that Neanderthals had the capacity for symbolic representation. 98 00:07:46,780 --> 00:07:52,780 Like humans, Neanderthals are thought to have evolved from Homo erectus. 99 00:07:52,780 --> 00:07:57,780 But contrary to popular belief, they are not our ancestors. 100 00:07:57,780 --> 00:08:02,780 They were actually a separate species that lived alongside early humans. 101 00:08:03,780 --> 00:08:09,780 More and more evidence is coming to light that suggests that Neanderthals were at least socially intelligent, 102 00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:14,780 at least thinking in symbolic behavior, and therefore may have even been as far as we know, 103 00:08:14,780 --> 00:08:17,780 may have been even more intelligent than that also. 104 00:08:17,780 --> 00:08:23,780 We find lots of evidence that Neanderthals used tools perhaps in different ways than we did. 105 00:08:23,780 --> 00:08:31,780 Certainly the discovery of graves where flowers are buried, they love their children just as we love ours. 106 00:08:31,780 --> 00:08:35,780 The technology available to them is only now being discovered. 107 00:08:36,780 --> 00:08:44,780 DNA studies show that Neanderthals lived among modern humans for thousands of years 108 00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:48,780 and interbred with them before becoming extinct. 109 00:08:48,780 --> 00:08:56,780 And they were not the only other intelligent human-like species in prehistoric times. 110 00:08:57,780 --> 00:09:05,780 In 2003, scientists identified fluoresciences known as the Hobbit people in Indonesia. 111 00:09:05,780 --> 00:09:14,780 And as recently as 2008, the species Donisa ben Hominin was discovered in southern Siberia. 112 00:09:15,780 --> 00:09:23,780 What is intriguing about this find is that DNA evidence suggests that they are genetically distinct 113 00:09:23,780 --> 00:09:30,780 from both Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans, suggesting perhaps that at 40,000 years ago 114 00:09:30,780 --> 00:09:37,780 you had as many as three different human forms on planet Earth. 115 00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:44,780 You know, there absolutely have to be still unknown human litigious out there, 116 00:09:44,780 --> 00:09:48,780 whether they're totally different species or varieties. 117 00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:55,780 I'm sure that the paleontologists of the present day and the near future will find more of our family tree. 118 00:09:57,780 --> 00:10:08,780 What we're now seeing is a Lord of the Rings type situation in which there are multiple Hominid populations coexisting on Earth at the same time. 119 00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:15,780 When we look at the Denisovans, we're seeing that they actually have traces in their DNA 120 00:10:15,780 --> 00:10:21,780 of a species that is completely unlike anything we've seen anywhere else on Earth. 121 00:10:21,780 --> 00:10:25,780 We don't know where it comes from and we don't know who these people are. 122 00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:28,780 It's a complete baffling mystery. 123 00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:37,780 Did Neanderthals and other ancient Hominids possess capabilities on par with, 124 00:10:37,780 --> 00:10:42,780 or perhaps even exceeding, those of our human ancestors? 125 00:10:42,780 --> 00:10:47,780 And if science is only now discovering the truth about these species, 126 00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:54,780 then what other forms of intelligent life may have also roamed the Earth thousands of years ago? 127 00:10:55,780 --> 00:11:03,780 My humans have shared the Earth with and interbred with species not indigenous to this planet. 128 00:11:03,780 --> 00:11:15,780 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest there may be further clues to be found with Pirancus skull number 44 by reconstructing its face. 129 00:11:15,780 --> 00:11:25,780 New York City, March 27th, 2015. 130 00:11:25,780 --> 00:11:35,780 Brian Forester has enlisted artist Marcia Moore to help him examine Pirancus skull number 44 in an entirely new way. 131 00:11:36,780 --> 00:11:43,780 Drawing on her experience doing facial reconstructions with 3D models, 132 00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:53,780 Marcia will try to bring the ancient skull back to life by scanning it onto a computer and digitally rebuilding its face. 133 00:11:53,780 --> 00:12:01,780 So the first thing that we're going to do, I'm going to get a visual, 134 00:12:01,780 --> 00:12:08,780 and now it's going to laser cut slices of this skull. 135 00:12:08,780 --> 00:12:12,780 And it's going to patch up this entire skull to make a 3D model. 136 00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:18,780 And we'll get to an accurate feel of this individual. 137 00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:22,780 If you'd like to take your skull away from the carousel, 138 00:12:22,780 --> 00:12:29,780 up here on the computer, this is how we generated the skull model with all of these little dots the laser picked up 139 00:12:29,780 --> 00:12:34,780 and was able to create a fairly accurate rendering of this skull. 140 00:12:34,780 --> 00:12:38,780 That's amazing. 141 00:12:38,780 --> 00:12:49,780 Analyzing the bone structure, Marcia begins to generate virtual layers of muscle and tissue to recreate the facial anatomy of the Pirancus skull. 142 00:12:49,780 --> 00:12:55,780 You can tell by this skull the cheeks are prominent, the chin is very prominent, 143 00:12:55,780 --> 00:13:00,780 the eyes, obviously the sockets are much larger and that's always difficult. 144 00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:04,780 I'm adding a little bit more length to the neck. 145 00:13:04,780 --> 00:13:14,780 I think that probably this skull had a very strong neck, so added material there, create the cranial formation of the skull. 146 00:13:14,780 --> 00:13:28,780 Based on the shape of the skull, Marcia approximates where to add additional tissue and muscle until finally a face emerges. 147 00:13:28,780 --> 00:13:30,780 That's remarkable. 148 00:13:30,780 --> 00:13:37,780 Yeah, so I'm going to show you the build up, slowly building up the cheeks, the jawline, the eyes. 149 00:13:37,780 --> 00:13:44,780 This again is a reconstruction, but it's an interpretation of what this physical could have looked like. 150 00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:46,780 And here she is. 151 00:13:46,780 --> 00:13:50,780 Well, you have brought a 2,000 year old skull to life. 152 00:13:50,780 --> 00:13:53,780 And answers some questions, but presents many more. 153 00:13:53,780 --> 00:13:56,780 Absolutely. 154 00:13:56,780 --> 00:14:06,780 Marcia's interpretation I find very intriguing because what she has been able to represent is atypical of the native people that we find in coastal areas. 155 00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:11,780 The Paragus culture disappeared 2,000 years ago. 156 00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:17,780 They left no descendants, nor did they leave oral tradition or written documentation of any sort. 157 00:14:17,780 --> 00:14:24,780 So we have no idea, in fact, who they were and where they came from. 158 00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:43,780 From Marcia's interpretation, I believe that it is possible that beings have come from other parts of our universe to this planet and have mingled with the genetics that were here. 159 00:14:43,780 --> 00:14:47,780 I believe that they're a subspecies of humanity. 160 00:14:48,780 --> 00:14:53,780 Could this be the face of an alien human hybrid? 161 00:14:53,780 --> 00:15:04,780 Or might Paragus skull number 44 have origins completely outside a planet Earth, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest? 162 00:15:07,780 --> 00:15:16,780 I have seen those skulls close up, and the moment I was able to do this, it changes everything. 163 00:15:16,780 --> 00:15:34,780 Because if you compare a skull where you can prove that the skull was artificially elongated and you compare that to one of the Paragus skulls, then you can see a market difference between the two. 164 00:15:34,780 --> 00:15:40,780 I think personally that they are themselves the extraterrestrial. 165 00:15:41,780 --> 00:15:55,780 Is Paragus skull number 44 evidence of another intelligent, perhaps even extraterrestrial species living among humans in the distant past? 166 00:15:55,780 --> 00:16:08,780 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the facial reconstruction does resemble an ancient ruler that they believe was from the stars, the Egyptian pharaoh, Akhenaten. 167 00:16:09,780 --> 00:16:24,780 He has big eyes, he has an extended head, and in some ways he looks like one of the oddness like Akhenaten or their children with large extended heads. 168 00:16:25,780 --> 00:16:36,780 Akhenaten ruled in the 14th century BC and was considered a heretical pharaoh for changing the polytheistic religion of ancient Egypt. 169 00:16:36,780 --> 00:16:44,780 He declared there was only one god, Aten, a god he depicted as a disc in the sky. 170 00:16:45,780 --> 00:17:01,780 Akhenaten became enthralled with the Aten disc, and the Aten disc was something that was supposedly the sun, but it was depicted in a completely different way than the Egyptians had depicted the sun before. 171 00:17:01,780 --> 00:17:08,780 And so it's interesting to think of the Aten disc as possibly some kind of a spaceship. 172 00:17:09,780 --> 00:17:23,780 And so when you see these oddness like Akhenaten, you have to wonder if they're not some kind of extraterrestrials. They look a lot like the gray aliens. 173 00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:43,780 Akhenaten's reign also marked a radical change in art, transitioning from idealistic portrayals of people to much more realistic renditions, a fact which has only added to the speculation about the ancient pharaoh and his family's origins. 174 00:17:43,780 --> 00:17:58,780 There are so many illustrations of them painted on the temple walls, as well as granite sculptures of Akhenaten, of his wife Nefertiti, of their daughter Meretaten. 175 00:17:59,780 --> 00:18:09,780 Even King Tut was one of the children of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. There are busts of King Tut that also show an elongated skull. 176 00:18:09,780 --> 00:18:23,780 We're also seeing that they have a very narrow rib cage and the distance between their neck and their waist is longer than typical humans would have on Earth. 177 00:18:23,780 --> 00:18:43,780 You look at this granite bust of Meretaten where her head extends all the way back, there's no hair. And you tell me that if a guy actually made that as a mistake, that he would still be allowed to work or even allowed to finish the sculpture, he was sculpting what they really look like. 178 00:18:44,780 --> 00:19:06,780 Is the facial reconstruction of the paraca skull the face of an ancient astronaut? Does it similarity to the depictions of the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten provide evidence that our planet has, in fact, been visited by extraterrestrials? 179 00:19:07,780 --> 00:19:19,780 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe that further proof of an extraterrestrial presence here on Earth can be found within humanity itself. 180 00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:48,780 Houston, Texas, 2010. Doctors at the Texas Heart Institute examine a 59-year-old man complaining of chest pains and make an astounding discovery. The patient has a three-chambered heart similar to that of a reptile. 181 00:19:49,780 --> 00:20:01,780 Researchers attributed the rare condition to an evolutionary phenomenon called edivism, when a lost trait of a distant ancestor reemerges in a modern organism. 182 00:20:03,780 --> 00:20:17,780 So the idea is if you look at where we evolved from, we were first fish, fish have a two-chambered heart, and then we came on land where we're more like a reptile that has a three-chambered heart, and then eventually the four-chambered heart as we became mammals and then humans. 183 00:20:18,780 --> 00:20:29,780 So interestingly, during development, that same sequence of evolution is played out again as embryos. So if there's any sort of defect in the embryo along the way, it could get stalled out of that earlier state. 184 00:20:30,780 --> 00:20:36,780 And now this man has a heart that's more typical of our distant ancestors, the reptiles. 185 00:20:37,780 --> 00:20:49,780 While the discovery of a human with a reptilian heart is incredibly rare, other genetic conditions have been found that suggest a link with reptiles. 186 00:20:50,780 --> 00:21:05,780 Since the 1800s, over 100 cases of human tails have been reported in medical journals. People with a disease, ichthyosis, have dry, scaly skin. 187 00:21:06,780 --> 00:21:15,780 And people with the diseases, called syndactyly and ectrodactyly, have fused fingers and claw-like hands. 188 00:21:16,780 --> 00:21:38,780 But if such anatomical irregularities are a link to our ancient ancestors, as some scientists suggest, could it be that they are not the remnants of a reptilian stage in human development, but instead reveal that humans once commingled with reptilian aliens? 189 00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:50,780 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe that further clues can be found in the stories of China's first emperor, Fushi. 190 00:21:52,780 --> 00:21:59,780 Fushi is one of the mythical rulers of China and he's considered to be the original or prototypical man. 191 00:22:00,780 --> 00:22:04,780 He was created along with his sister, Niu Hua. 192 00:22:05,780 --> 00:22:18,780 They were humanoid in form in the sense that their upper bodies were that of humans, but their lower bodies were that of snakes, and they're often represented with snake tails intertwined together. 193 00:22:19,780 --> 00:22:34,780 Similar stories of reptilian humanoid beings exist in cultures around the ancient world, including Japan, Greece, and South America. 194 00:22:36,780 --> 00:22:41,780 We even have good drawings and reliefs of many of these fantastic creatures. 195 00:22:41,780 --> 00:22:48,780 And so is it possible that some of these creatures really are aliens that look like that? 196 00:22:49,780 --> 00:22:52,780 And it seems like in some cases that is probably the case. 197 00:22:56,780 --> 00:23:03,780 Other unusual anomalies also appear to mirror the descriptions of divine beings from ancient texts. 198 00:23:04,780 --> 00:23:15,780 Millions of infants are born with blue patches of skin called Mongolian spots, evoking the blue skin gods common to India and Egypt. 199 00:23:18,780 --> 00:23:32,780 There have also been many cases of gigantism throughout history, bringing to mind biblical stories of the Nephilim, giants that were said to be the hybrid offspring of humans and devils. 200 00:23:33,780 --> 00:23:36,780 And so are the divine beings called the watchers. 201 00:23:39,780 --> 00:23:49,780 Within us is the whole evolutionary development of humankind, as well as the other species that humans developed from, reptiles, fish, and so forth. 202 00:23:51,780 --> 00:24:02,780 Extrapolating this idea, if extraterrestrials had a hand in retooling our DNA, then do we also carry their genetic makeup within us as we would? 203 00:24:04,780 --> 00:24:09,780 We know today that our DNA contains a lot of junk DNA that we still don't understand. 204 00:24:10,780 --> 00:24:21,780 So when we see these genetic anomalies surface in physical form in children, it could be that it's not anomaly, it's actually a lost extraterrestrial gene, a marker that's now resurfacing at the right time. 205 00:24:24,780 --> 00:24:30,780 Like the Neanderthals, did extraterrestrials breed with early man thousands of years ago? 206 00:24:31,780 --> 00:24:37,780 Did they leave behind genetic evidence in our DNA that still exists today? 207 00:24:39,780 --> 00:24:49,780 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that Earth may at one time have been home to not one alien race, but many. 208 00:24:50,780 --> 00:24:55,780 West Virginia, September 1952. 209 00:24:58,780 --> 00:25:07,780 Multiple witnesses report seeing a strange ball of light shooting across the night sky and landing in a nearby wooded area. 210 00:25:08,780 --> 00:25:16,780 Those who investigate the crash site describe seeing a 10 foot tom bird-like creature with glowing red eyes. 211 00:25:17,780 --> 00:25:22,780 It was this huge humanoid type figure anywhere from about 10 feet to 12 feet high. 212 00:25:22,780 --> 00:25:29,780 It had these fiery blazing eyes and was emitting these sparks and flashes of light. 213 00:25:30,780 --> 00:25:37,780 It was described as having a cow-like head, not unlike an ace of spades card in a deck of cards. 214 00:25:39,780 --> 00:25:45,780 The entire group was unanimous, and the entire group was unanimous. 215 00:25:45,780 --> 00:25:55,780 It was connected with the overflight of the strange light, and it was also connected with this red pulsating light that they saw 216 00:25:56,780 --> 00:26:06,780 And it was also connected with this red pulsating light that they saw. 217 00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:14,780 Curiously, Native American mythology also describes the same as those of the Argentineian. 218 00:26:15,780 --> 00:26:19,580 a similar half-bird, half-human creature 219 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:25,960 that shared the planet with mankind thousands of years ago. 220 00:26:26,060 --> 00:26:28,860 The Apache had a demonic figure in their mythology, 221 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:34,760 the giant owl man, who could petrify you through its gaze. 222 00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:37,300 It was truly a terrifying presence 223 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,380 that could come at any time, particularly in the night 224 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,800 sky, when owls fly. 225 00:26:43,860 --> 00:26:46,360 And it's a pretty common theme in a lot of Native American 226 00:26:46,460 --> 00:26:50,840 mythology, that there was a time in the past when the Earth 227 00:26:50,940 --> 00:26:56,600 was overrun by pretty scary monsters of various forms. 228 00:26:56,700 --> 00:26:58,880 And the big owl, the owl man, is one of these sort 229 00:26:58,980 --> 00:26:59,980 of representatives. 230 00:27:05,780 --> 00:27:09,720 Might the stories of owl man and other strange creatures 231 00:27:09,820 --> 00:27:12,980 describe beings that the Native Americans actually 232 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,380 encountered? 233 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,480 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 234 00:27:18,580 --> 00:27:22,220 and point to similar creation myths from across the world 235 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:28,060 of gods that resemble not just anthropomorphic birds, 236 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:34,200 but also reptiles, insects, and sea creatures. 237 00:27:34,220 --> 00:27:41,600 All around the world, we have figurines and carvings and paintings, 238 00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:46,100 rock paintings, of these very bizarre creatures that can be 239 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,980 found not only on every continent, 240 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:54,140 but once you compare them, they're also incredibly similar. 241 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,920 So one has to wonder if these figurines and these statues 242 00:27:59,020 --> 00:28:01,560 of these different creatures, 243 00:28:01,620 --> 00:28:04,660 figurines and these statues of these different depictions 244 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,220 of what they refer to as the gods, 245 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:13,460 if they're actually rooted in some type of reality. 246 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,900 Did our ancestors really encounter 247 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,240 these intelligent life forms thousands of years ago? 248 00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:23,140 And if so, just what were they? 249 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,440 Cambridge, Massachusetts. 250 00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:35,580 February, 2013. 251 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,860 Analyzing data gathered by NASA's Kepler Space Telescope, 252 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,760 astronomers at the Harvard Smithsonian Center 253 00:28:42,860 --> 00:28:48,300 for Astrophysics announced that 6% of all red dwarf stars 254 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:52,500 have habitable, Earth-like planets. 255 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Because red dwarf stars burn much longer than our sun, 256 00:28:56,380 --> 00:28:58,880 the discovery raises the possibility 257 00:28:58,940 --> 00:29:02,040 that life on these planets could be much older 258 00:29:02,140 --> 00:29:05,440 and much different than life on Earth. 259 00:29:05,540 --> 00:29:07,740 The environment plays a really pivotal role 260 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,680 in sort of the direction that organisms evolve. 261 00:29:10,780 --> 00:29:12,620 And so you can imagine that evolution played out 262 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,620 on a different planet. 263 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,280 It might follow the same types of rules, 264 00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:19,320 but have completely different end products. 265 00:29:19,420 --> 00:29:21,460 So it would look completely different. 266 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,960 Let's go to any other star with planets around it. 267 00:29:26,060 --> 00:29:28,560 Intelligence is going to happen because of crises 268 00:29:29,340 --> 00:29:31,460 is going to happen because you can only survive 269 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,860 without intelligence. 270 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,960 But it could be from a reptile that we're a reptile equivalent. 271 00:29:37,060 --> 00:29:39,660 It could be from a quadruplet. 272 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,860 It might be from a moscow creature. 273 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,760 The cause is probably to be the same. 274 00:29:43,860 --> 00:29:46,360 The end result anatomically totally different. 275 00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:52,760 There could be a myriad of different forms 276 00:29:52,860 --> 00:29:55,660 that intelligent life takes throughout the cosmos. 277 00:29:55,860 --> 00:29:57,360 When we look to the earthly record 278 00:29:57,460 --> 00:29:59,860 of otherworldly beings that have visited Earth, 279 00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:02,060 they exhibit different characteristics. 280 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,460 They have bird heads, dog heads, reptilian type forms. 281 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,260 It's possible that these are the forms 282 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,660 that these beings take on their home planet, 283 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,760 and they might even coexist with beings 284 00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:14,460 that are even different from them. 285 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,760 Is it possible that like the Neanderthals, 286 00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:23,460 Denisovans, and fluoresciences 287 00:30:23,460 --> 00:30:27,360 that existed alongside humans here on Earth? 288 00:30:27,460 --> 00:30:29,660 There are similar intelligent beings 289 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,460 that evolved differently from us 290 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,460 on planets all across the universe. 291 00:30:36,060 --> 00:30:38,860 And if many such species do exist, 292 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,860 light Earth have been visited 293 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,860 by more than just one race of aliens. 294 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,860 Ancient astronaut theorists believe 295 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,860 that the answers lie not only in stories 296 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,260 of divine beings from the past, 297 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,860 but in sightings that continue to this very day. 298 00:31:02,260 --> 00:31:06,860 Fort McDowell, Arizona, February 2015. 299 00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:11,260 Thousands flock to this small desert community, 300 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,660 20 miles outside of Phoenix, 301 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,260 to attend the annual International UFO Congress. 302 00:31:19,460 --> 00:31:21,260 Many attendees and speakers 303 00:31:21,260 --> 00:31:24,260 share stories of being abducted by aliens, 304 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,260 and their accounts describe extraterrestrials 305 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,260 that take a variety of physical forms. 306 00:31:32,260 --> 00:31:34,260 Within the field of euthology, 307 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,260 there are multiple types of aliens reported. 308 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,260 This includes winged humanoids, 309 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,260 like Muthman, the Houston Batman. 310 00:31:45,260 --> 00:31:48,260 It also includes so-called insectoids, 311 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,260 which, as their name suggests, 312 00:31:50,260 --> 00:31:52,260 they look like large insects. 313 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,260 And then we have the reptilians, 314 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,260 bipedal, reptile-type creatures. 315 00:31:59,260 --> 00:32:01,260 I think it's highly possible that they've adapted 316 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,260 and developed physically in those fashions 317 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:09,260 in relation to the conditions on their relative home planet. 318 00:32:10,260 --> 00:32:12,260 I think there are all kinds of creatures 319 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,260 with intelligence in this universe 320 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:17,260 that would shock us. 321 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,260 I think your environment determines 322 00:32:19,260 --> 00:32:22,260 what you're going to end up looking like eventually. 323 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,260 I think after time, 324 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,260 that complexity of who you are physically 325 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,260 adapts to what that planet is. 326 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:35,260 If you look at some of the Sumerian illustrations, 327 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,260 you see an avian bird head 328 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,260 on top of a very strong human body. 329 00:32:41,260 --> 00:32:43,260 You look on the Egyptian paintings. 330 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,260 You have a human with an elongated skull 331 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,260 and very green skin. 332 00:32:48,260 --> 00:32:51,260 And there is a one-to-one correlation between 333 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,260 modern sightings that people are reporting, 334 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,260 both from abduction contact experiences, 335 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,260 as well as what we hear from insider testimony, 336 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,260 and what we see in the most ancient records 337 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,260 of contact with the gods. 338 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,260 It's the same people they never really left. 339 00:33:10,260 --> 00:33:12,260 Could there be a connection 340 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,260 between the strange-looking gods 341 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,260 depicted by ancient civilizations 342 00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:18,260 and these present-day encounters 343 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,260 with extraterrestrials? 344 00:33:21,260 --> 00:33:24,260 Are we, in fact, seen similar beings 345 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,260 to the ones described by our ancestors 346 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,260 thousands of years ago? 347 00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:34,260 Despite the many different kinds of aliens reported, 348 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,260 there are certain distinct similarities 349 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,260 within such sightings. 350 00:33:41,260 --> 00:33:43,260 Move on, the mutual UFO network. 351 00:33:43,260 --> 00:33:46,260 It's one of the longest-lasting, most respected 352 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,260 UFO research groups in the world. 353 00:33:50,260 --> 00:33:54,260 Mufon's studies of UFO landings and humanoid cases 354 00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,260 has shown that most UFO events involving entities 355 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,260 revolve around sightings of creatures that are humanoid. 356 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,260 That's to say, two arms, two legs, a body, and a head. 357 00:34:09,260 --> 00:34:11,260 When we look at all of the different reports 358 00:34:11,260 --> 00:34:15,260 of extraterrestrials coming here to Earth, 359 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:20,260 and they're all generally humanoid in form, 360 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,260 and it would seem that the human form 361 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,260 is very much a universal form. 362 00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:35,260 If intelligent life would evolve much differently 363 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,260 on other planets, as mainstream science suggests, 364 00:34:40,260 --> 00:34:43,260 then why would so many people describe encounters 365 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,260 with extraterrestrials that have human characteristics? 366 00:34:49,260 --> 00:34:53,260 There may well have been some original proto-alien civilization 367 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,260 that seeded the universe. 368 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,260 Over time, the image of creatures with two arms, two legs, 369 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,260 a torso, and a head, two eyes, and a mouth pretty much 370 00:35:05,260 --> 00:35:11,260 rules throughout the entire spectrum of UFO activity and sightings. 371 00:35:12,260 --> 00:35:19,260 Now, that would imply that our lineage is something that is bipedal. 372 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:25,260 Whether a creature walks upright with the face of an insect 373 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,260 or the face of a human doesn't really matter. 374 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,260 You still have a two-legged creature that originated somewhere. 375 00:35:36,260 --> 00:35:39,260 Given the number of humanoid appearing gods, 376 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:44,260 it suggests that there is a common ancestor for all intelligent life in the universe, 377 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,260 and perhaps we're on the verge of rediscovering that common ancestor. 378 00:35:51,260 --> 00:35:56,260 Could there be one common source for all intelligent life in the universe? 379 00:35:57,260 --> 00:36:03,260 A primordial species that seeded different planets with beings similar to ourselves. 380 00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:10,260 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the ultimate truth about mankind's origins 381 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:18,260 might be found by examining not only our past, but also our future. 382 00:36:21,260 --> 00:36:24,260 June 2013. 383 00:36:25,260 --> 00:36:30,260 In an article for Forbes, graphic artist and researcher Nicolet Lam 384 00:36:30,260 --> 00:36:37,260 illustrates just how the human face might change over the next 100,000 years. 385 00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:45,260 With the help of a computational biologist and taking into account future technological, 386 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,260 environmental, and genetic influences, 387 00:36:50,260 --> 00:36:55,260 he came up with eerie renderings that show an increasingly large cranium 388 00:36:55,260 --> 00:37:01,260 with a pronounced forehead, huge eyes, and more pigmented skin tone. 389 00:37:03,260 --> 00:37:06,260 As far as the future is, it's always really hard to predict, 390 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,260 especially in terms of homo sapiens sapiens, 391 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:14,260 because we've been so good at modifying our environment through our technology. 392 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,260 So if you try to think about what we might look like in the future, 393 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,260 it gets us a bit hard because we don't exactly know 394 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,260 what these environmental pressures may be on us right now. 395 00:37:26,260 --> 00:37:30,260 While Lam's work was dismissed by some scientists as conjecture, 396 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:37,260 anthropologists have found that humanity has changed greatly over the past 200,000 years. 397 00:37:38,260 --> 00:37:44,260 Homo sapiens have developed more delicate skeletons, smaller faces, and more pointed chins. 398 00:37:46,260 --> 00:37:52,260 And recent studies have shown the human body is still undergoing significant changes. 399 00:37:55,260 --> 00:38:01,260 So over the last 40,000 to 50,000 years, tooth sizes have reduced very, very dramatically. 400 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:10,260 And this is largely the product of expansion of both cooking and, ultimately, the development of pottery. 401 00:38:11,260 --> 00:38:17,260 These cultural innovations for changing what we eat and how we eat 402 00:38:17,260 --> 00:38:22,260 led to dramatic declines in how large our jaws were 403 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,260 and, ultimately, what our tooth sizes look like. 404 00:38:27,260 --> 00:38:31,260 The future direction of human evolution is difficult to chart. 405 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:37,260 But certainly we would think that some continued expansion of brain size 406 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:42,260 may be something that we're going to continue to see as we move forward in human evolution. 407 00:38:43,260 --> 00:38:50,260 In 2012, scientists from the University of Tennessee announced findings 408 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:56,260 that show that human skull size has also increased dramatically just since the late 1800s. 409 00:38:58,260 --> 00:39:01,260 What they found is totally amazing. 410 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:07,260 The average height of the skull increased by an astonishing 8 millimeters 411 00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:10,260 or almost 0.3 inches. 412 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:17,260 The actual increase in brain volume caused by this height change is 200 cubic centimeters, 413 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,260 which is the size of a tennis ball. 414 00:39:21,260 --> 00:39:27,260 Our jaws are becoming longer and narrower, and the size of the head is becoming bigger. 415 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,260 Well, this starts to sound pretty familiar, doesn't it? 416 00:39:31,260 --> 00:39:35,260 Ancient astronaut Thea Respeculate 417 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:42,260 that extended space travel may also lead us to appear more like the grays in the distant future. 418 00:39:43,260 --> 00:39:50,260 Some have suggested that the reason why the grays have these what appear to be atrophied bodies 419 00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:55,260 is because that over time their bodies changed. 420 00:39:55,260 --> 00:40:03,260 They too at some point had larger muscles, but because they became space travelers, their muscles atrophied. 421 00:40:04,260 --> 00:40:09,260 When you go to space, you don't have that pressure pushing down on you, so those muscles aren't used. 422 00:40:10,260 --> 00:40:13,260 And so you lose muscle very rapidly. 423 00:40:14,260 --> 00:40:18,260 Also associated with that, your bones begin to atrophy. 424 00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:24,260 We're talking about longer and longer missions out into space, going to Mars, going farther. 425 00:40:24,260 --> 00:40:28,260 And so astronauts will be subjected to these stresses for a long period of time. 426 00:40:32,260 --> 00:40:39,260 Is it possible that the gray aliens at one time looked more like us when they were planet-bound? 427 00:40:41,260 --> 00:40:44,260 And so we're on that same track. 428 00:40:46,260 --> 00:40:51,260 And we are becoming more and more like these gray aliens themselves. 429 00:40:54,260 --> 00:41:00,260 Our lineage has come about due to other extraterrestrials that are similar to us. 430 00:41:01,260 --> 00:41:08,260 Perhaps the lineage began elsewhere millions and millions of years ago. 431 00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:20,260 Are humans and perhaps even other extraterrestrial races that our ancestors encountered descendants of the grays? 432 00:41:21,260 --> 00:41:26,260 Did these otherworldly travelers generate intelligent life? 433 00:41:27,260 --> 00:41:30,260 Not only here on Earth, but throughout the universe. 434 00:41:32,260 --> 00:41:38,260 And might the course of human evolution lead us to become more and more like them? 435 00:41:40,260 --> 00:41:46,260 Perhaps we will discover that our true destiny is to continue their mission. 436 00:41:46,260 --> 00:41:52,260 And one day, join our alien ancestors in the stars.
