1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Cultural artifacts obliterating.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
It is absolutely barbaric.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
They're destroying our cultural heritage.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Irreplaceable texts reduced to smoldering ash.

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
It's as if the roots of human civilization itself

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,000
are being hidden from us.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,000
And sacred lands looted under the cover of darkness.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Armed men spent three days digging and lapped

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000
with something in tow.

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
What exactly it was nobody knows.

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Throughout history, mankind's most ancient and sacred sites

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
have been plagued by conflict and warfare.

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
But could this constant turmoil really be part

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
of another worldly agenda?

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Could extraterrestrial intelligence

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
be deliberately thwarting any effort for itself

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
to be discovered from the ancient records?

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Since the dawn of civilization,

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
mankind has credited its origins to gods

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
and other visitors from the stars.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
What if it were true?

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Did extraterrestrial beings really help to shape our history?

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
And if so, might the most compelling evidence

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
lie hidden in forbidden zones?

25
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Northern Iraq

26
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
20 miles south of Mosul lies the ancient Assyrian capital city

27
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
of Nimrud.

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Built over 3,000 years ago in the 13th century BC,

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
the site is an archaeological treasure trove.

30
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Among the entire city,

31
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000
is the ancient Assyrian capital city of Nimrud.

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
It's a treasure trove.

33
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Among the antiquities found here are monumental statues

34
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
of winged lions with human heads

35
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
and massive relief carvings

36
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,000
depicting the ancient gods of Mesopotamia.

37
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
The Assyrian capital city of Nimrud.

38
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
In the 19th century,

39
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
militants from the Islamic State

40
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,000
stormed the ancient site,

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
violently destroying everything in their path.

42
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
After obliterating irreplaceable relics,

43
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
they wired the entire site with explosives

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
and leveled it completely,

45
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
forever wiping it from the face of the earth.

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
This group seems to be more destructive

47
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
than anything people can recall in history.

48
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
It's almost as if we're being orphaned from our past.

49
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
We are having our parentage,

50
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
our ancestors cut off from us,

51
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
the record of them.

52
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
It is absolutely barbaric

53
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,000
what is going on currently in the Middle East

54
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,000
with some factions going deliberately to ancient sites

55
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,000
and just eradicating our cultural heritage.

56
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,000
This volatile region is widely considered

57
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
to have been the cradle of civilization

58
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,000
and its archaeological destruction

59
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
could mean the loss of information

60
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,000
about mankind's historical past.

61
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Iraq, Syria, what we call the Middle East

62
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
or the Near East,

63
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
is called the cradle of civilization for a reason.

64
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Anthropologically, this appears to be the place

65
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
where the first humans arose.

66
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
This is where people came from

67
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,000
and all of the earliest civilizations, cities,

68
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
governments come from this region.

69
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000
In the 21st century,

70
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
the violence and destruction

71
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
have reached an unprecedented level,

72
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
but the Middle East has been embroiled in conflict

73
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
for thousands of years.

74
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
The Islamic State today is doing what the Taliban did before,

75
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
which is doing what Byzantine Christians

76
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
and Jews before them have all done.

77
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
They don't want any graven images,

78
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
so because of their religious beliefs,

79
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
they are basically destroying

80
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
our own cultural heritage for religious purposes.

81
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
And like human lives,

82
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,000
many of these, you can't get back.

83
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Since 1990, the Middle East

84
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
has seen the destruction of cultural heritage

85
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,000
on an unprecedented scale.

86
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,000
A scale not seen since the Christian vandalism

87
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,000
that began during the Roman Empire.

88
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Over 700,000 archaeological, cultural,

89
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
and religious artifacts have been stolen or destroyed,

90
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
and over 200 significant historical sites

91
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,000
have been completely left in ruins.

92
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,000
The Middle East seems to be

93
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
in an almost permanent state of instability.

94
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Is this deliberate?

95
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Is someone keeping it that way

96
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,000
and maybe to prevent us from discovering something?

97
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Is there something that would fundamentally change

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,000
our understanding of who we are and where we come from?

99
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000
It is absolutely horrifying to see the erasing of our history,

100
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
and what's worse, all of these ancient sites

101
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,000
are one giant piece of the puzzle

102
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000
that we might have been visited in the past by extraterrestrials.

103
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
For thousands of years,

104
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Northern Africa, the Middle East, and India

105
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,000
have been in an almost constant state of unrest.

106
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
But also in Southeast Asia,

107
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
the regions of Kashmir and Tibet

108
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
are considered among the most disputed territories in the world.

109
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
And halfway across the globe,

110
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
the Northern Triangle of Central America,

111
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
which includes Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras,

112
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
has been declared the deadliest region on Earth

113
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
outside of active war zones.

114
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Could there be a reason that these specific areas

115
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
experience so much chaos?

116
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
It might be that on such places,

117
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,000
the extraterrestrials descended some thousands of years ago.

118
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000
On such places, they have hidden something.

119
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
There could be something special about the sites.

120
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
These are areas that are so important

121
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
to the things that have happened on this planet.

122
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,000
And I still think that the knowledge and the success

123
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
of where we go as people on planet Earth

124
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
is directly related to those areas.

125
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Is it possible that there is an otherworldly connection

126
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,000
between certain areas of global conflict

127
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000
and places of significant archaeological importance?

128
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

129
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
and suggest there could very well be

130
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
so-called forbidden zones on planet Earth,

131
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
areas that extraterrestrial entities

132
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000
want to keep humans from exploring.

133
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
But if so, why?

134
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Perhaps further clues can be found

135
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
by examining a conflict in another volatile region

136
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
where some of mankind's greatest treasures

137
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000
are being looted from beneath the desert sands.

138
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Cairo, Egypt, 2011

139
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
In what has come to be known as the Arab Spring,

140
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000
riots break out throughout Egypt.

141
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Protesters demand the resignation

142
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
of President Hosni Mubarak.

143
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
With the media and law enforcement focused on the demonstrations,

144
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000
looters gain greater freedom

145
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
to pillage Egypt's ancient sites and artifacts.

146
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,000
For many people, getting rid of Mubarak

147
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000
was just a license to profit from the new situation.

148
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
They would loot archaeological sites.

149
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
They were suddenly free of the dictator

150
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
and a lot of them went crazy.

151
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000
During the Arab Spring, insiders told me

152
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
that trucks loaded with deep digging equipment

153
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
accompanied by armored vehicles and armed men

154
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
spent three days digging in the sands outside Cairo

155
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
and laughed with something in tow.

156
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,000
What exactly it was, nobody knows.

157
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Guards were powerless to do anything to stop it.

158
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
This created a huge amount of havoc

159
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
just because of the lack of security

160
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
and the intentions of certain people

161
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
to steal Egyptian antiquities.

162
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
You can tell from the satellite imagery

163
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
the increase in different holes in the ground,

164
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,000
the looters' pits that they've dug.

165
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
This is the site of Dashur.

166
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
This picture was taken in 2010.

167
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
But when you look at this one over here,

168
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,000
I think this was taken in 2013.

169
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000
The difference between the two is pretty amazing.

170
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Look at all these pits that were dug by looters.

171
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,000
When it comes to Egypt, everyone's familiar with the pyramids,

172
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
but really that's only a tiny part of what survives

173
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
of that ancient and sophisticated civilization.

174
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
According to modern archaeologists,

175
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:59,000
less than 1% of ancient Egypt has been discovered and excavated.

176
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
But how is it that such a pivotal ancient culture

177
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
disappeared unnoticed into the desert sands?

178
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
There were several different cultures that came in with armies.

179
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
The Nubians, I think the Syrians,

180
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,000
or the Persians twice, and then the Greeks.

181
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
When the Romans took over,

182
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
they just drained it of Egyptian religion and culture.

183
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
So when the Erebs came in in 641,

184
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,000
most of these temples were at least halfway covered in sands.

185
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
All you have are these huge, magnificent columns

186
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
coming out of the ground.

187
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
The sphinx was buried right up to his head.

188
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,000
By the time Napoleon got to Egypt,

189
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,000
the hieroglyphs were indecipherable.

190
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
No one knew what these things were, what they meant.

191
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
We had to relearn it.

192
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
It was only with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone

193
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
that we got our first insight

194
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
into what these hieroglyphs might actually be saying.

195
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
But is Egypt's long history a political unrest merely man-made?

196
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Or is there something extraterrestrial at work?

197
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest

198
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
that further answers can be found,

199
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,000
still buried in the desert sands.

200
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
I think if you could blow all the sand away from the Middle East and Egypt,

201
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
you would find incredible relics.

202
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,000
I also think that information about extraterrestrials

203
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,000
is probably deeply hidden away under the sands of that region.

204
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Amidos, Egypt

205
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,000
February 2011

206
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
300 miles south of Cairo

207
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Looters target what was once the most sacred site

208
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000
to the ancient Egyptians during the time of the pharaohs.

209
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000
It was here that Egypt's first rulers were buried

210
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
and the earliest forms of hieroglyphs were found,

211
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:12,000
as well as an inscription bearing the names and chronology

212
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,000
of the first kings of ancient Egypt.

213
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Amidos was considered sacred to the god Osiris, lord of the dead,

214
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
an Egypt's first otherworldly ruler.

215
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
According to ancient legends,

216
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,000
his dismembered head was buried at the site.

217
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
So who was Osiris?

218
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Was he simply an ancestor of the ancient Egyptians?

219
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Or was he a god that descended to Earth from the sky world?

220
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Obviously, we cannot say today,

221
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
but we know he was said to have existed in an age

222
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,000
that was known as Zeptepe the first time.

223
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,000
In the 13th century BC, the pharaoh, Sedi I,

224
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
was building his temple here in Amidos.

225
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
When according to some accounts,

226
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000
he had an encounter with the god Osiris.

227
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000
When King Sedi was building his temple,

228
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
he had a dream in which the Egyptian god Osiris appeared to him.

229
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
And he told Sedi that if he was to dig behind his temple location,

230
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000
that he would find something of enormous significance.

231
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Sedi digs 40 feet beneath the temple

232
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
and finds the tomb of Osiris.

233
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000
For hundreds of years, no such tomb was known to exist in Amidos.

234
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
But at the turn of the 20th century,

235
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
archaeologists digging behind the temple of Sedi I,

236
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000
was the first unearthed, a massive underground structure

237
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,000
consisting of granite and sandstone blocks,

238
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
some weighing nearly 60 tons.

239
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
The Osirian, as it is now known,

240
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
was found buried under 40 feet of silt.

241
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And ancient astronaut theorists are convinced

242
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:27,000
that further excavations would reveal something much more profound,

243
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
hidden within it.

244
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,000
The interesting thing about it is that on the exterior wall

245
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:42,000
of the temple of Sedi is inscribed what is called the head or tower of Osiris.

246
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,000
What looks like some kind of an ancient antenna type of a device,

247
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,000
it's clearly technological or mechanical looking.

248
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
According to legend, it has been buried

249
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,000
in as a waiting rediscovery.

250
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Amidos is a veritable treasure trove of artifacts,

251
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
ancient records, inscriptions on temple walls

252
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
of people who look very different than us.

253
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
There are repositories of ancient technologies

254
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
that are still hiding under the desert sands.

255
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
There's a lot of vested interest.

256
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
These extraterrestrials, the gods might have

257
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
in keeping these things hidden from us.

258
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Could it be that Amidos holds alien technology

259
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
that was deliberately hidden from mankind?

260
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Is the instability in this region,

261
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
like that in other forbidden zones,

262
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,000
somehow being generated by extraterrestrials

263
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
that want to keep humanity from rediscovering it?

264
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And if so, just how are they accomplishing this?

265
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Perhaps further clues can be found

266
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000
by examining the latest scientific breakthroughs

267
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,000
in using technology to incite violence.

268
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Lhasa, Tibet

269
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Situated nearly 12,000 feet above sea level,

270
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000
the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, or place of the gods,

271
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,000
has long been considered one of the least accessible areas of the world.

272
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
For over three decades,

273
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Tibet was entirely closed off to outsiders

274
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000
after the forcible takeover of the region

275
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
and exile of its spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama,

276
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
in 1959 by the Chinese army.

277
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
During their siege of the city,

278
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000
Chinese red guards systematically destroyed temples,

279
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
frescoes, and ancient religious texts.

280
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,000
It's a terrible legacy from the great library at Alexandria,

281
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
the library at Sarajevo, more recently in Panam Pan.

282
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Other stories like the Nazi book burning there

283
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
seems to be this thing that happens where some revolutionary energy

284
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
wants to destroy the cultural treasures of the past.

285
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,000
When one culture conquers another culture,

286
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
you want to kill their ideology,

287
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
and the way that you do that is you burn their books,

288
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,000
you banish their ideas, you banish their language,

289
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
you banish their religious practices,

290
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
you burn the ancient records.

291
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Throughout history, military conflict has resulted

292
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
not only in loss of life,

293
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
but also the destruction of cultural heritage.

294
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,000
And even when setting out to colonize the new world,

295
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,000
early explorers and missionaries systematically eradicated

296
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,000
what they considered to be pagan texts and mythologies of Native American,

297
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
Mesoamerican, and Polynesian tribes

298
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
they encountered.

299
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
They destroy artifacts, they bury sites.

300
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
It's almost as if this is a deliberate blotting out of the past.

301
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,000
It's as if the roots of human civilization itself

302
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
are being hidden from us.

303
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
With the destruction of knowledge,

304
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
we may well be losing our connection to the gods,

305
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
the extraterrestrials of the past,

306
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
how they interacted with us, what they wanted us to do.

307
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Why isn't that these records continually seem to get misplaced,

308
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,000
or they get burned, or they get destroyed,

309
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
or they're deliberately ruined?

310
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Is it possible that there is, in fact,

311
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
an ongoing extraterrestrial presence

312
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:11,000
that has somehow infiltrated into our society?

313
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000
Could this extraterrestrial intelligence be deliberately thwarting

314
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000
any effort for itself to be discovered from the ancient records?

315
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Could there really be aliens among us inciting conflict,

316
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

317
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000
And if so, might we find this conflict concentrated

318
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000
in so-called forbidden zones, but why?

319
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
And perhaps, even more importantly,

320
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,000
how has this violent behavior been accomplished?

321
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Pasadena, California

322
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology

323
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
identify a set of neurons in the hypothalamus of mouse brains

324
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
that correspond to aggression.

325
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Through a technique called optogenetics,

326
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000
the group uses pulses of light to activate the neurons

327
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,000
and instantaneously incite violence in the mice.

328
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
So there are many ways in which we can affect

329
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
or manipulate the brain or brain function.

330
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000
And there's a really exciting new technique called optogenetics.

331
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And although it's not being used in humans yet,

332
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
it's being used in animal trials.

333
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000
And what that is is they actually manipulate a virus

334
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
so that it becomes a delivery system for a gene

335
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
that's taken from a photosensitive algae.

336
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,000
And that gene is then delivered to specific neurons.

337
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,000
And then those neurons are triggered to fire via light.

338
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,000
You can control the behavior of the animal via remote control

339
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
in the sense all you have to do is trigger the different types of receptors to fire.

340
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000
If you actually go in and stimulate the prefrontal cortex,

341
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,000
you can cause animals to act out aggressively.

342
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
In 2010, scientists at Osaka University

343
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000
and at the University of Texas published separate findings,

344
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:26,000
both indicating that up to 8% of the human genome comes from viruses

345
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
and not from our ancestral DNA.

346
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Could this help explain how extraterrestrials

347
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
might be able to incite humans to violence,

348
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:42,000
just as researchers have used viruses to trigger aggression in mice?

349
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Somebody genetically altered us a long, long time ago,

350
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000
and they intentionally put in this ability to become violent.

351
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,000
There's no question that people could be manipulated,

352
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,000
could be used to do all kinds of things,

353
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
and they wouldn't even know it.

354
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,000
We are simply a pawn on an extraterrestrial chest game

355
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,000
that they can move and manipulate any time they want.

356
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,000
That they serve up at their whim whenever they want.

357
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
There's no question about that.

358
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Could humans be artificially stimulated to create acts of violence,

359
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
as some ancient astronaut theorists propose?

360
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,000
And might this stimulation be targeted to people

361
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,000
living in certain regions of the world?

362
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Perhaps the answers can be found

363
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
very deep in the jungles of Guatemala.

364
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Lie the ruins of the ancient Mayan city of El Miradolor.

365
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Dating back to at least the 5th century BC,

366
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:02,000
the site is believed to predate the classic Mayan civilization.

367
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
But curiously, it was abruptly abandoned around 150 BC.

368
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Western archaeologists rediscovered the site

369
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
in the early 20th century,

370
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
and in the early 20th century,

371
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Western archaeologists rediscovered the site in 1979,

372
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
in an area currently controlled

373
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,000
by one of the most feared drug cartels in the region.

374
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Today, armed soldiers stand guard

375
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,000
just outside the archaeological site

376
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,000
that is larger than Manhattan

377
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
and contains one of the tallest pyramids in the world.

378
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000
El Miradolor, in fact, has dozens of pyramids.

379
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Many of them are as big as anything that the classic Maya made,

380
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
but it's also one of their very oldest cities.

381
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000
But perhaps the most intriguing discovery at El Miradolor

382
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
is a carving believed to be a depiction of the Mayan creation story,

383
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000
known as the Popovu.

384
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
It dates back more than 2,000 years

385
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,000
and is the oldest known version to survive

386
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
after Central America was overtaken

387
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,000
by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century.

388
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
The conquistadors requested

389
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,000
for all these different Mayan codices to be destroyed.

390
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,000
And so after this pillaging and destruction happened,

391
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
the Popovu was recreated by the ruling elite at the time,

392
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
and to the best of their abilities,

393
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,000
they tried to put on paper their histories

394
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
and their mythologies of their ancestors.

395
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,000
But these stories go back much further back in time.

396
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,000
The Popovu is foundational to Maya civilization

397
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
as foundational as the Bible is to Christianity.

398
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
But now, things like what we've found at El Miradolor

399
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:14,000
are telling us that that story goes back at least to 200 BC.

400
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And that's exciting.

401
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Now we have a continuity of the Popovu

402
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000
being pivotal to Maya people all the way back to their origins.

403
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,000
Curiously, the Popovu narrative

404
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:34,000
and the Hebrew Bible's Book of Genesis contain many similarities,

405
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,000
including the stories concerning the creation of the world,

406
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
animals, and then finally, mankind.

407
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,000
They both include stories of a great flood.

408
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
And in both texts, it is suggested

409
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,000
that there is information purposely kept from mankind by his creator.

410
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000
But what is unique to the Popovu

411
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,000
is an account of an earlier time

412
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,000
when humans had access to greater knowledge.

413
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
In the great Mayan creation narrative,

414
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:17,000
the Popovu, the gods created humans.

415
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,000
And they had terrific knowledge,

416
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,000
so much so that it worried the gods.

417
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
And so they put a veil over the consciousness of the people

418
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
so that they could only see what was right there in front of them.

419
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
They limited their ability to know.

420
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,000
The earliest human beings in the Popovu, they were very smart.

421
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,000
They had a great sense of the world.

422
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,000
They were very smart.

423
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,000
They basically understood things, they could see things.

424
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
And so the gods of creation said,

425
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
oh, we can't have this.

426
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000
So what we have to do is we have to put a screen over that vision.

427
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Knowledge became less and less available to the overall population.

428
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000
What happened to the humans who were smarter than us?

429
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
Were they, in fact, the ancient Egyptians,

430
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,000
the Sumerians, and many other ancient cultures?

431
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
These areas apparently would have all of the records

432
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:24,000
that we would need to completely rebuild our history.

433
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,000
These are the most unstable areas on Earth.

434
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Could this be why?

435
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Is it possible that ancient humans

436
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
possess greater knowledge than we currently do today,

437
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:43,000
as the Mayan mythology seems to suggest?

438
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,000
If so, who were these gods that the Mayans believed to be their creators?

439
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,000
According to ancient astronaut theorists,

440
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000
their true identity might be revealed

441
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,000
by examining one of the carvings contained within the Popovu,

442
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
the so-called Hero Twins.

443
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
If you look at that carving,

444
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,000
the guy is clearly wearing a helmet and he has this backpack

445
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000
and he's actually floating in space or he's descending from the sky.

446
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,000
You have what seemed to be some kind of helmet

447
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,000
and even one of the figures looks like a flying saucer.

448
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Could these stone carvings be depictions of ancient astronauts?

449
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,000
And if that is the case,

450
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,000
then it would indicate that these extraterrestrials have actually created us

451
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:45,000
and in fact they're still here today, manipulating us and guiding us into the future.

452
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Do the carvings at El Mirador contain information about mankind's past

453
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,000
that we were not meant to discover?

454
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000
If so, could it be that extraterrestrials

455
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,000
have been creating barriers and warfare to prevent us from learning about our true origins?

456
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Or is there an even more profound explanation?

457
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:19,000
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the ultimate proof of just what they are trying to hide

458
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000
can be found by examining one of the most thought-over sites on Earth,

459
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Temple Mount.

460
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Jerusalem, October 2014

461
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Amidst tension and violence after the assassination attempt on a Jewish activist,

462
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Israeli authorities shut down the sacred site of Temple Mount.

463
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas pronounces the closure a declaration of war.

464
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,000
And although access to the Temple is quickly restored,

465
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000
many fear that a third Intifada or Holy War is now inevitable.

466
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,000
That was the uprising that the Palestinians engaged in.

467
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,000
This was their revolution.

468
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
It began first in 1987 and was waged for five years.

469
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Then in 2000, it lasted for another five years.

470
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,000
There was tremendous violence between Palestinians and Israelis.

471
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:40,000
It shouldn't come as a surprise that the Temple Mount would be a flash point for all these countries.

472
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
The Temple Mount is a 35-acre platform

473
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
that has long had great significance to Jews, Christians and Muslims.

474
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:03,000
It is revered in the Jewish tradition as the place where God gathered the dust to create Adam,

475
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:09,000
where Abraham nearly sacrificed his son Isaac to prove his faith to God.

476
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:16,000
And where King Solomon built the first Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant.

477
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:23,000
Christians honor the site as the location of some of Jesus' most sacred teachings.

478
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,000
And for Muslims, Temple Mount, which they refer to as the Noble Sanctuary,

479
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:39,000
or Haram al-Sharif, is believed to be the location where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven on the back of a winged horse.

480
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:47,000
The three monotheistic face, Judaism, Christianity and Islam,

481
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
all believe that God has a special connection to this area.

482
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,000
They all believe that this is where people will ascend to heaven when the day of judgment comes.

483
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,000
They all want it, but they don't want to share it.

484
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:07,000
The Temple Mount has been a holy place for many, many generations.

485
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:15,000
And there are strange religious traditions, rumors, legends of what lies underneath it.

486
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:20,000
And the idea is there is something so precious underneath it that God himself intervenes to protect it.

487
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Could there really be some powerful force contained within Temple Mount?

488
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Is that why three religions are at such odds over this sacred site?

489
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Some researchers and religious scholars suggest that Temple Mount may not only serve as a place of spiritual connection,

490
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,000
but also as a gateway to other points in the universe.

491
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:06,000
The Temple Mount has long been considered to be a portal to heaven.

492
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:13,000
It is said that when the patriarch in Jacob rested one night, he placed stones on the ground,

493
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,000
and there he saw a ladder ascending to heaven.

494
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,000
The angels were going up and coming down.

495
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,000
This was always known to have been a vortex, a portal.

496
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,000
A ladder descending from heaven?

497
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,000
A visitation site for other worldly beings.

498
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:47,000
Could it really be that the significance of Temple Mount is not what's under it, but the location itself?

499
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:56,000
It could very well be that there was a natural area on the earth that the Temple Mount was deliberately built around.

500
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,000
And that natural physics that we don't yet understand in conventional science

501
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:12,000
allow for there to be a slipstream between realities, a gateway, a parting of the veil between this world and other parallel universes.

502
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:17,000
There have been a number of UFO sightings around Temple Mount.

503
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Is the site important not just to human religions, but does it have some special significance for extraterrestrials?

504
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Is that why this site is so untouchable?

505
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:42,000
Do sacred sites like Temple Mount in Jerusalem not only hold secrets about mankind's origins,

506
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,000
but possibly even serve as portals to other parts of the universe?

507
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:55,000
And if so, might the turmoil in various forbidden zones be due in part to extraterrestrials

508
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,000
that want to keep humanity from discovering the truth?

509
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Perhaps the answers can be found by reexamining what some claim is the motivation behind the Western invasion of Iraq.

510
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Iraq, March 19, 2003

511
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:27,000
The United States military begins its Shogunah air campaign over the city of Baghdad.

512
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:34,000
It is a preemptive strike aimed to overthrow Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein,

513
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,000
who the government believes is in possession of weapons of mass destruction.

514
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:50,000
Saddam Hussein wanted to make Iraq a regional and perhaps a global superpower.

515
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:54,000
He spoke about himself as the new Nebuchadnezzar.

516
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Nebuchadnezzar II was the great Babylonian warrior king,

517
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:07,000
most famously known for rebuilding and expanding the Babylonian Empire in the 6th century BC.

518
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:17,000
His armies conquered Egypt, as well as ransacking and destroying Solomon's temple in 597 BC.

519
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Saddam Hussein went nuts. He believed he was the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar.

520
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:33,000
So he ordered massive reconstruction of Babylon, which was done with bricks bearing his name on them.

521
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Everyone would come to respect the ancient Nebuchadnezzar and the new Nebuchadnezzar.

522
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,000
The missing piece to the puzzle of why we went to war with Iraq

523
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:59,000
is the understanding that Saddam Hussein sought to outdo what Nebuchadnezzar had accomplished in his earlier life.

524
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:06,000
The ultimate accomplishment of Nebuchadnezzar was the opening of the fiery furnace.

525
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Nebuchadnezzar had gone to Jerusalem, looted and leveled the Temple of Solomon.

526
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
And he brought the wise men of the temple back to Babylon with them.

527
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
What happened in the story is absolutely amazing.

528
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:30,000
These three wise men enter this fiery furnace.

529
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Not only did they come back out in perfect condition, they weren't alone.

530
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:42,000
They came back with an extraterrestrial visitor in tow.

531
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:48,000
In today's terms, we would obviously call this a stargate or a portal.

532
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,000
Saddam knew this.

533
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Saddam Hussein's esoteric interests were probably like those of the Nazis.

534
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Aimed at uncovering some power, some technology, some relic

535
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:09,000
that would enable him to become this world leader that he dreamed of being.

536
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:17,000
There's one theory that the Iraq war was actually a war about a stargate.

537
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:25,000
Saddam Hussein, so the theory goes, got access to this stargate, maybe threatened to use it.

538
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000
Was that why the Allied powers went in?

539
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,000
It sounds far-fetched, but this theory is widely believed.

540
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Is it possible the United States military was pursuing more than weapons of mass destruction when they invaded Iran?

541
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Could something of great significance, perhaps a portal to another world, have been found amongst the chaos?

542
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:00,000
And if there are truths about extraterrestrial involvement with our planet hidden in forbidden zones,

543
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000
just what would happen when the truth is finally revealed?

544
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:16,000
With the knowledge that's coming into view now as we're reconstructing bit by bit, piece by piece, this tile mosaic of ancient history,

545
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,000
we're gaining the ability to reconstruct the view of what really happened to us

546
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,000
and what it means to be human and our relationship to the greater cosmos that's around us.

547
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:35,000
If you believe in the extraterrestrial presence, it was always to kind of keep us down

548
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
so that we wouldn't get that much knowledge.

549
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,000
They want to keep us ignorant and fighting and greedy.

550
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:48,000
It's very possible that we will never know what happened on this planet a long time ago.

551
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:59,000
It's our own test and the reason why no official contact has taken place yet is because we ourselves are on the verge of destroying this planet.

552
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:09,000
So my suggestion is we first have to learn how to interact with each other before being allowed to receive this knowledge.

553
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Is it possible that the perpetual violence experienced in certain parts of the world

554
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:24,000
is more than just a consequence of political and religious conflict?

555
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:31,000
Could it be that it is actually spurred on by extraterrestrial forces?

556
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Forces that are trying to hide the truth about mankind's origins?

557
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Perhaps once we approve that we can conquer our aggression and anger,

558
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:53,000
we will be able to access this knowledge and join our creators in the stars.
