1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 This gigantic pyramid in Antarctica would be the oldest pyramid on our planet. 2 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:15,000 It's possible that underneath the ice will be keys for us to reclaim our ancient past. 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000 The Nazis were particularly interested in Antarctica. 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Saucers were coming up out of the water and we're shooting them with some sort of beam, literally cutting ships in half. 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Antarctica may hold lost remnants of an extraterrestrial civilization that existed there thousands and thousands of years ago. 6 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:45,000 Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has credited its origins to gods and other visitors from the stars. 7 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,000 What if it were true? 8 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000 Did extraterrestrial beings really help to shape our history? 9 00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:03,000 And if so, might the ultimate proof be found when we uncover the pyramids of Antarctica? 10 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000 The Earth 11 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:47,000 Stretching over five million square miles across the southernmost reaches of the Earth lies the coldest and most isolated continent in the world, 12 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000 Antarctica. 13 00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Because of its hostile climate, including average daily temperatures of minus 49 degrees Fahrenheit and wind speeds of over 200 miles per hour, 14 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:08,000 Antarctica remains largely untouched by mankind. 15 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:16,000 According to historical records, modern man did not even set foot on the continent until 1853, 16 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:25,000 when ship captain, Mercator Cooper, landed on what is now known as the Oats Coast, a Victoria land. 17 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:33,000 Today, anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside at the research stations scattered across the continent, 18 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:41,000 braving the extreme conditions in hopes of learning more about this mysterious landscape. 19 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:52,000 The thing about Antarctica is that as much as 98% of it is covered in ice. 20 00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Just occasionally, there are little areas that stick out, mountain tops, ridges, peaks. 21 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Antarctica is the least explored of the continents, even the North Pole, which is just ice has been explored more. 22 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:16,000 It is a mystery and it's right here on the Earth. It's perhaps the last big unexplored part of our home planet. 23 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Antarctica is a vast frozen world and we know very little about it. 24 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000 And in fact, the ice in Antarctica is up to three miles thick in certain places. 25 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000 And what's beneath the ice is still largely a mystery to scientists. 26 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:41,000 You just have to imagine this. The Sears Tower is a little less under a third of a mile tall. 27 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:51,000 So you have to imagine that you can stack nine Sears Towers on top of each other and they would still not peek out from that ice sheet. 28 00:03:52,000 --> 00:04:01,000 Most geologists believe Antarctica has been completely frozen and uninhabited for over 12 million years. 29 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:09,000 But in 2012, new photographs revealed formations in the landscape that challenged this notion. 30 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:16,000 Mysterious pyramid structures emerging from the now melting ice. 31 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Recently, there have been a number of reports of pyramids being found on Antarctica. 32 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:41,000 There are various photographs that show what appear to be perfect four-sided pyramids, very similar in design to those at Geyser, Egypt and perhaps other places around the world. 33 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,000 While the photos were explained away by mainstream scientists as nothing more than natural land formations, 34 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000 satellite imagery analysts like Joseph White are not entirely convinced. 35 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:04,000 In March of 2013, he uncovered what he believes is evidence of yet another pyramid, 36 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:10,000 located just south of Antarctica's remote Shackleton Mountain Range. 37 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 I initially found the structure whilst looking on Google Earth. 38 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000 I was in fact looking at some of the rather strange blank spots that you get in Antarctica. 39 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:28,000 When I stumbled upon this very large square structure, which seems to be some kind of building or perhaps even a pyramid, but certainly very large and very square, 40 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000 it actually aligns up perfectly with the coordinates of the compass north, south, east and west. 41 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:43,000 And this dictates to me that it's probably an intelligent structure because random structures like mountains are not aligned to the compass. 42 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:48,000 And in another way, we know that a structure is not naturally curing. 43 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:57,000 It's generally to look for symmetry, things like right angles and equilateral triangles and shapes that you would not normally find in nature. 44 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000 This structure is exactly two kilometers square. 45 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:08,000 This corner to this corner is two kilometers and this corner to this corner is also exactly two kilometers, 46 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:14,000 which would make this more than double the size of any pyramid thus far found on Earth. 47 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000 While it may seem unthinkable that pyramids could exist in an arctica, 48 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:28,000 in recent years, archeologists have found pyramids all over the world that had been lost for centuries, 49 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:35,000 mistaken as natural formations or hidden in the most unlikely places. 50 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:43,000 They have been discovered in the plains of northern Peru, buried beneath dirt and rubble in Indonesia, 51 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:48,000 and one may even exist in Los Angeles, California. 52 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000 All the way around the world, we find evidence of pyramid structures. 53 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:01,000 We should start looking at the possibility that there was habitation on Antarctica. 54 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Was it a lost civilization? 55 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000 Could it be ancient astronauts? 56 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:17,000 And just maybe the earliest monuments of our own civilization came originally from Antarctica. 57 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,000 If this gigantic pyramid in Antarctica is an artificial structure, 58 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:28,000 it would probably be the oldest pyramid on our planet. 59 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:37,000 And in fact, it might be the master pyramid that all the other pyramids on planet Earth were designed to look like. 60 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:46,000 There has been extensive research done on pyramids throughout the world in terms of their structure and what it is that they really are. 61 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,000 And one of the theories is that pyramids are power generators. 62 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:56,000 And so if you have these pyramids strategically placed around the world generating this charge, 63 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:06,000 it's possible to create a general standing wave around the world that is basically a wireless transmission of energy. 64 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:14,000 It's been theorized that ancient ships, extraterrestrials, and those with high technology, 65 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:22,000 could use this interconnected wireless energy system to navigate around the planet. 66 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:32,000 And it makes sense that if there was some kind of worldwide pyramid power grid like this, 67 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000 that Antarctica would have pyramids as well. 68 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:44,000 The whole idea of these pyramidal structures, where did it come from? 69 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000 It's not an arbitrary thing and these structures, they exist worldwide. 70 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:52,000 So, you know, what was the impetus? What's the origin? 71 00:08:52,000 --> 00:09:02,000 And even more fascinating, did they originate on the Antarctic continent? 72 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Might the pyramid Joseph White claims to have discovered near the Shackleton Mountain Range 73 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000 and other pyramid-shaped formations recently photographed in Antarctica 74 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:21,000 provide evidence of extraterrestrial visitation to our planet in the remote past? 75 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000 And if they are actually man-made structures, how is such a thing even possible 76 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000 in a place that has been buried beneath the ice for over 12 million years? 77 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:39,000 According to ancient astronaut theorists, Antarctica may not have been a frozen continent 78 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000 for as long as mainstream scientists suggest. 79 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,000 And they say proof can be found by examining a 500-year-old map 80 00:09:50,000 --> 00:10:01,000 depicting the continent without any ice. 81 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000 Siberia 2013 82 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000 A woolly mammoth is discovered flash-frozen in the glacial ice 83 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,000 engulfed so quickly that its blood and muscle tissue are perfectly preserved. 84 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:23,000 It is just one of dozens that have been found within the Siberian ice 85 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000 since the turn of the 20th century. 86 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000 Many seemingly caught in suspended animation, some with food in their mouths 87 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,000 and some with vegetation in their stomachs that would only grow in a much warmer climate. 88 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000 The discovery of a woolly mammoth that was flash-frozen raises some interesting scientific questions. 89 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000 Just something happened very locally to the woolly mammoth that it froze very fast. 90 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000 But it does also raise the question of how quickly can climate really change 91 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,000 and does it take some sort of cataclysm, a one that's sudden and unexpected? 92 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:12,000 In 1958, Charles Halfgood, a Harvard-educated scientist, published the book Earth's Shifting Cross. 93 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:19,000 In it, he proposed that portions of the Earth's crust experienced violent and sudden shifts 94 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000 during Earth's geological history. 95 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000 His theory, known as crustal displacement, posited that both Siberia and the continent event arctica 96 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,000 were located in slightly more temperate climates prior to the end of the last ice age, 97 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000 approximately 12,000 years ago. 98 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:50,000 But then some unknown catastrophe plunged them into their current positions. 99 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Professor Halfgood came up with the idea that the previous North Pole position had been in the air of the Hudson Bay 100 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000 and then it shifted to where the Pole is today. 101 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:14,000 And at the southern pole, he believes that the area of Antarctica had previously also experienced a temperate climate 102 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:22,000 and that this was suddenly now thrust into this deep ice and this harsh, freezing climate. 103 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:32,000 He believed the last time that this had actually taken place was approximately 12,000 years ago. 104 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000 When we think about Earth's crust displacement theory and plate tectonics, you want to think of the crust 105 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:43,000 basically floating on the magna and being able to shift and move around on top of it. 106 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000 The Earth's crust is not one solid piece. We know it's made of individual pieces. 107 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000 So you can look and see how the continents probably used to fit together 108 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,000 and where they moved and how they move apart over a long period of time. 109 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:03,000 But the question is, you know, would something the size of Antarctica shift suddenly or is that too big? 110 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,000 These crustal shifts, according to Halfgood, actually could happen over a period of even days. 111 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:16,000 And so if you had a thriving civilization, this crustal displacement could have hit it very, very quickly 112 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000 but it could have actually been frozen over a very short period of time. 113 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:30,000 Although Halfgood's theory of sudden large-scale shifts of the Earth's crust was not widely accepted, 114 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:38,000 renowned physicist Albert Einstein was electrified by it and even wrote the forward of Halfgood's book. 115 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000 Halfgood would also find additional support for his theory when in 1960, 116 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:53,000 while combing through the Library of Congress archives, he unearthed an unusual map published in 1531. 117 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,000 The map, credited to mathematician and cartographer Arantas Finneas, 118 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:06,000 appears to depict an ice-free continent remarkably similar to today's maps of Antarctica. 119 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:17,000 It was not until as late as 1820 that we had any real idea of what Antarctica looked like. 120 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:23,000 Yet here on the Arantas Finneas map from 1531, here was Antarctica. 121 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000 How the hell is it possible that it could appear on this map? 122 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:36,000 Researchers are baffled as to how the Arantas Finneas map could include a continent 123 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,000 that was not discovered until over 300 years later 124 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:47,000 and are even more perplexed by the fact that it depicts Antarctica free of ice. 125 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,000 If explorers somehow discovered Antarctica in the 1500s, it would have been completely frozen over. 126 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,000 Remarkably, the Finneas map shows not only a detailed coastline free of ice, 127 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:10,000 but the entire continent, including interior features such as rivers, valleys and mountains. 128 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:20,000 The map shows mountain ranges that have rivers coming out of the mountain ranges. 129 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,000 How could that be? It's frozen, it's ice. 130 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:32,000 There's a NASA image of the continent of Antarctica using radar so that mountain ranges come through it can be seen. 131 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:41,000 And you can see a mountain range on one photograph and on the Arantas Finneas map, it's right there too. 132 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,000 It's the same mountain range. 133 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,000 According to climatologists, the estimates of when this feature would have been free from ice cover 134 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000 was at least 6,000 years ago. 135 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,000 So how is it possible that this map exists? 136 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:05,000 Did Finneas have access to an older map, one dating back thousands of years? 137 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,000 Perhaps more confounding, U.S. Air Force cartographers that were sent the maps in the 1960s 138 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:21,000 concluded that they were drawn using advanced spherical trigonometry with remarkable precision, 139 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000 especially when considering the maps were made hundreds of years ago. 140 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:33,000 The fact that we find something that's a reference to modern day technology on a map that dates back to the 16th century 141 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:40,000 makes me think, is it possible that some type of advanced radar technology was used 142 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:46,000 because in order to produce a map that would outline the areas we see, 143 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,000 you would have to be at an altitude of 80 miles. 144 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000 So how was that possible? 145 00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Could it be that the basis for these maps was gleaned from maps that were cartographed by extraterrestrial land surveyors? 146 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:14,000 The implications of all this, and if you now are able to add things like pyramids, 147 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:20,000 this would really indicate that there was some kind of ancient civilization in Antarctica 148 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,000 and that it would have been over 12,000 years ago. 149 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,000 And you've got to wonder what kind of civilization this was. 150 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Is it possible that it was extraterrestrials? 151 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Could Antarctica have been inhabited by extraterrestrials in the distant past? 152 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:45,000 Did they study this continent and leave behind detailed information about its landscape? 153 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000 If so, just what happened to these otherworldly visitors? 154 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:58,000 Ancient astronaut theorists believe more clues can be found in Egyptian stories 155 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,000 describing an Earth-altering catastrophe. 156 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000 Edfoo, Egypt. 157 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000 Located on the western bank of the Nile, 158 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000 the Temple of Edfoo is one of the largest and most well-preserved temples of the ancient kingdom, 159 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000 dating back to 237 BC. 160 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000 The Edfoo temple is of tremendous importance. 161 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000 As you enter the temple, it's like you're going inside a book. 162 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000 It's literally full of texts. 163 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,000 Every wall, every column, every room, every chamber is filled with texts. 164 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000 They're known collectively as the Edfoo texts. 165 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000 What is very interesting is that the majority of these texts speak about the creation of the world. 166 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:03,000 According to the texts, the Earth was created by powerful gods who came down from the sky. 167 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:10,000 And these gods first established a place known as the Island of the Egg. 168 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:19,000 Two gods, they created an island in the middle of the eternal lake. 169 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000 Creation started with that island. 170 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,000 The occupants of this so-called primordial mythical world, very strange creatures, 171 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000 there seems to be three groups of people. 172 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000 One called the sages, one called the builders, 173 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000 and the other called the Shephtiou, nobody knows who they are. 174 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,000 These are the ones that are very mysterious because they are sent to emerge from the water. 175 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:55,000 Then the Egyptians believed a series of gods came and built the first temples. 176 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:01,000 It says that here the first temples were built, the first ones ever in the world. 177 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000 And these became the blueprint for every temple in Egypt. 178 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000 Once all the creator gods have done their job with creating the world, 179 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,000 they would meet with their big bird and a sent to the sky. 180 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:27,000 Ancient Egyptians believed with all their heart that everything listed and inscribed on these walls 181 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000 are true, true, true. 182 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:39,000 If the walls say there's an island in the middle of nowhere where gods would go and a sent to the sky, 183 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:46,000 then ancient Egyptians, the devoted ones, would believe that island exists. 184 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000 According to the Edfu texts, not all of the occupants left. 185 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000 And after many generations, the island suffered a terrible fate. 186 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:07,000 The texts are very different as to what happens to the occupants, these strange gods. 187 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,000 They seem to once they have set the scene, once they have built the temples, 188 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,000 they hand over their work to the historical lineage and then they depart. 189 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000 We don't know where they go. 190 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,000 There seems to be something very interesting here. There seems to be a wall going on. 191 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:32,000 The armies of these divinities is led by this falcon god and he battles a kind of enemy represented by snake. 192 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,000 In the skies appeared what was known as the enemy snake. 193 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,000 It had a name. It was called the Great Leaping One. 194 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:48,000 And it was said that immediately it appeared there was a time of darkness and there was something flat 195 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000 that destroyed this sacred island. 196 00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:01,000 And when the waters receded, these original beings, who were known as the ancient ones or the elder ones, 197 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000 were now no longer there. 198 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Perhaps the Great Leaping One, this enemy snake, was the memory of the comet that entered into our inner solar system, 199 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000 broke up, causing devastation and disruption. 200 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:34,000 Might the account of this ancient catastrophe inscribed on the walls of the Edfu temple be describing a natural event? 201 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000 Or was it a deliberate attack? 202 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:46,000 An attack targeting another worldly civilization existing on what we now know as the Antarctic continent? 203 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:56,000 We need to take a second look at the Edfu text and the story of the island of the egg because it's the source material from Plato's story. 204 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000 In his story of Atlantis, he gives a very important detail. 205 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000 He describes it as an immense island the size of Libya and North Africa combined. 206 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:14,000 Now the thing about it is that there's only one island on the planet that's out in the middle of the ocean 207 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:18,000 that matches that description and that's Antarctica. 208 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:32,000 Curiously, the island continent depicted on the Orantis Phineas map reveals a shift of the South Pole of 7.5 degrees, 209 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000 or nearly 1,000 miles from what it is today. 210 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:44,000 Might this shift corroborate the accounts of a major catastrophic event in the remote past? 211 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:53,000 If so, could the creation myth recorded at Edfu be describing something more than mythology? 212 00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:00,000 The cataclysm which would have shifted Antarctica, this would have destroyed the civilization that was there. 213 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,000 And then, over time, whatever buildings and pyramids that were there would be covered with ice. 214 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:18,000 So the whole idea that Antarctica is hiding beneath its ice, some ancient civilization, is a very intriguing idea 215 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000 and one that may very well be true. 216 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:33,000 Might there actually be evidence of an ancient extraterrestrial civilization buried under the ice of Antarctica? 217 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:42,000 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe that this long history of an alien presence there 218 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:48,000 is precisely what brought another occupying force to its frozen shores. 219 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 The Nazis. 220 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Hamburg, Germany, December 1938. 221 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:09,000 Four years into Adolf Hitler's reign as Fuhrer, he is beginning to establish his total dictatorship by taking direct control of the German military. 222 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:16,000 Flink wie 500, T-milära und Hartigruppstall! 223 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:26,000 But on the brink of World War II, Hitler is also involved in much stranger endeavors that are hidden to the public. 224 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:34,000 He is committing every remaining resource to searching for ancient relics that he believes could hold incredible powers. 225 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:43,000 On December 17th, the German freighter MS Schwabenland sets out on one of these top secret missions. 226 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:55,000 Its 33-member team is rumored to include scientists, military experts, construction crews, and key members of the Thule Society, 227 00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,000 an elite group associated with the Nazis that focused on mysticism and the occult. 228 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Thirty-two days later, they arrive at their destination. 229 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,000 And Artica. 230 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:19,000 The Nazis themselves were fascinated by ancient civilizations and legends of vanished super races. 231 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:26,000 They were searching for this lost, Arctic home that they thought that the Aryans had come from. 232 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,000 They were looking all over the world and that included Ann Artica. 233 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:43,000 The Thule Society actually believed that there were mystics or channels who were able to communicate with these beings who claimed to be either extraterrestrial in origin 234 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:48,000 or claimed to belong to this civilization that lived in Earth's interior. 235 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:55,000 They gave a lot of information about the building of advanced aerospace vehicles, flying sources. 236 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,000 And I think this is where Hitler's Nazi party got a lot of its information about Antarctica. 237 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:09,000 That in Antarctica there is this ancient civilization or bases where they could find a lot of these advanced technologies. 238 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:20,000 During their time in Antarctica, the Nazis were believed to have mapped huge swaths of the icy landscape by air. 239 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:30,000 Ancient astronaut theorists believe they also established an elaborate underground headquarters known as Base 211. 240 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000 Hitler and the Nazis were particularly interested in Antarctica. 241 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,000 I think they really believed that there were things going on deep under the ice. 242 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:50,000 And there have always been rumors that the Nazis with their submarines have underwater caverns, small cities that they escaped there after World War II. 243 00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:01,000 When the Germans got to Antarctica, what they found were massive cities that were highly technological. 244 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,000 And these buildings were not just on the surface, they went deep down underground. 245 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:13,000 So they began relocating a massive amount of equipment and personnel to Antarctica, 246 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000 repressurizing these ancient facilities and reoccupying them. 247 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000 In 1946, one year after the end of World War II, 248 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000 the U.S. government launched its own large-scale mission to Antarctica. 249 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Operation Hydrop deployed 4,700 troops, 13 ships and aircraft carrier and a number of sea planes to Antarctica. 250 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:52,000 Although the government denied it at the time, it would later become known that one of the operation's primary objectives was, 251 00:28:52,000 --> 00:29:00,000 quote, extending the United States' sovereignty over the largest practicable area of the Antarctic continent. 252 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:09,000 The U.S. Navy then sent what was basically a flotilla of armed ships to Antarctica. 253 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:18,000 In Operation Hydrop, there were stories that were quite strange that ultimately came out of that expedition, which ended quite early. 254 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:27,000 There were stories of craft coming up out of the water around the ships and of flying saucer-type vehicles. 255 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:37,000 Saucers were coming up out of the water and were shooting them with some sort of beam, literally cutting ships in half. 256 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:47,000 They were shooting planes out of the sky and they traveled so fast that it was almost impossible to visually reference where the disk was going. 257 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:56,000 So the American fleet had to limp back to the United States, totally broken and destroyed. 258 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000 It's still a mystery all of the activities that were going on in Antarctica. 259 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:10,000 You have to wonder if the American military and other governments too are aware of structures under the ice, of pyramids beneath the ice, 260 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:18,000 and perhaps they know that there's some kind of ancient civilization frozen beneath the ice of Antarctica. 261 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:29,000 If in fact the Nazis were seeking extraterrestrial technology in Antarctica, is it possible that they actually discovered it? 262 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:38,000 And might the U.S. military have encountered this powerful technology years later during Operation Hydrop? 263 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:53,000 Ancient astronaut theorists believe that further proof of an alien presence in Antarctica may be found in a prehistoric lake, buried under two miles of ice. 264 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000 Lake Vostok, Antarctica. 265 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:10,000 Buried under two miles of ice is a 4,800 square mile body of water. 266 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:18,000 It is by far the largest of the continent's nearly 400 lakes that are entirely covered by ice. 267 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:30,000 In 2001, pilots collecting data here recorded unusual and extreme irregularities in the magnetic field at the southeastern corner of the lake. 268 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:42,000 Spanning a remarkable 65 by 46 miles, the anomalous area is producing an unusually high level of magnetic energy. 269 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:54,000 This anomaly was roughly 50 miles in diameter and was something that would be commensurate with the magnetic field being generated by a city. 270 00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:09,000 I have been to Lake Vostok several times as part of expedition research and when we were in the area we did pick up this magnetic anomaly, but we also found other magnetic anomalies which are actually transitioning from one place to another. 271 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:16,000 They were moving. Highly rare and extremely unusual, we weren't able to determine what was causing these anomalies. 272 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:34,000 It's totally inexplicable. Of course, this has given rise to theories that perhaps there is something else here. Perhaps it's a UFO, perhaps it's some kind of alien base, perhaps even the remnants of a lost civilization. 273 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:44,000 Now the NSA themselves have almost put a blanket over any further research and it's almost become a no-go area. 274 00:32:46,000 --> 00:33:00,000 Vostok is not the only site with limited outside access. Seven different countries have claimed territories in Antarctica, yet it remains one of the most restricted locations in the world. 275 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:15,000 Currently, there are 68 international bases here, many of which require permits or special permissions to visit. They are manned not just with scientists, but also military personnel. 276 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000 But whammy is it so restricted? 277 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:31,000 McMurdo Station and Antarctica, located on the southern peninsula of Ross Island. This is the largest research station on the continent. 278 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:41,000 It was opened by the U.S. government in 1956 and houses up to as many as 1200 residents at a time. 279 00:33:43,000 --> 00:34:00,000 In January of 2015, a U.S. Navy flight engineer who served with the Antarctic Development Squadron at McMurdo for 14 years came forward to investigative reporter Linda Moulton-Howell with bizarre accounts of his time in Antarctica. 280 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:12,000 In January of 2015, I got an email from a retired naval flight engineer. He's asked me to call him only Brian in the world public. 281 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:33,000 And this is what he told me, from about 1983 to when he retired from the Navy in 1997. He was in all kinds of what they call Antarctic Squadron Expedition missions that included rescuing people in and out of various places. 282 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:40,000 In all these trips, nothing of a high strangeness occurred and then all of a sudden it was one thing after another. 283 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:52,000 During a squadron mission in the Trans-Atarctic Mountains, the whole crew saw a whole bunch of silver darting objects and they are round. 284 00:34:52,000 --> 00:35:02,000 And he says they're doing the strangest thing. They're going like to this peak in a group, to this peak in a group, to this peak in a group, and then they'd all take off. 285 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:08,000 And not only did this happen once, it happened over and over. 286 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:17,000 According to the informant, this was just one of many strange mysteries on the continent that he witnessed during his time there. 287 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:27,000 They get an assignment not long after. There's a medical emergency. They are now under the gun, the clock is ticking and a decision was made. 288 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:34,000 They're going over through the no-fly zone because it's a medical emergency. And what do they see? 289 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:42,000 In the ice, like a huge entrance to a cave but slanted going down. 290 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:48,000 And he said, I think it was at least landed 200 feet in diameter, a big hole in the ice. 291 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:55,000 And he said, our instruments are not operating. We were losing electricity. We had magnetic anomalies. 292 00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:02,000 And we concluded there's something about this hole that is now causing these problems. 293 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:16,000 They do their medical recovery. And the next thing they know, they're all being chewed out by men in suits that are not from McMurdo. 294 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:28,000 They appear to be from Washington, D.C. And as he said, they told us that we are never ever to fly over that hole and we are never to discuss it again. 295 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:35,000 What is that about? And does that have anything to do with all these other pieces that keep emerging? 296 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:40,000 That there might be something archeological in Antarctica. 297 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:50,000 According to ancient astronaut theorists, this was not the first time a massive hole has been spotted in the ice of Antarctica. 298 00:36:50,000 --> 00:37:03,000 Famous polar explorer Admiral Richard Byrd allegedly reported seeing a massive entrance to an underground world during his 1947 expedition to the South Pole. 299 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:21,000 Admiral Byrd made a lot of unusual statements, allegedly talking about a large opening at the South Pole that went deep inside the Earth ice-free and was inhabited by various sorts of aliens. 300 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:29,000 And when Byrd got back to the United States, he was brought back to Washington where he was questioned very heavily about his statements. 301 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:34,000 And allegedly he was told to stop talking about this. 302 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:48,000 You have to wonder, is the South Pole some kind of extraterrestrial entry zone, some kind of portal that's so important that it has to be controlled by the military? 303 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000 Is the United States government covering up an extraterrestrial presence in Antarctica? 304 00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:04,000 And if so, could they be the same otherworldly beings that once occupied the continent thousands of years ago? 305 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:13,000 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the truth may be revealed when Antarctica's ice finally disappears. 306 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:24,000 East and Arctic October 2015. 307 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:38,000 Scientists at NASA announced that despite years of thinking otherwise, they are now finding that the ice in this region is actually growing, averaging 82 billion tons a year. 308 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:50,000 Snowfall is currently adding ice to most of the continent, but at the same time, glaciers are rapidly melting along the coast of western Antarctica. 309 00:38:50,000 --> 00:39:04,000 Scientists calculate that since 2009, as much as 60 cubic kilometers of ice, the equivalent of 70,000 Empire State buildings, is disappearing into the ocean each year. 310 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:13,000 But why is the ice here melting when it is growing throughout much of the rest of the continent? 311 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:21,000 We see these graphic pictures on television of the ice caps melting and falling into the sea. 312 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:28,000 But it's actually only in some areas that the ice caps are actually melting. 313 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:41,000 What's so strange is that through various factors that the ice in Antarctica might actually be growing and extending, this is very strange. 314 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:54,000 We can't rule out the possibility that in certain cases there could be entire cities that are built underground that may even be actively maintained by extraterrestrials now, 315 00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:05,000 and that as those cities are powered up or expanded in size, that they are giving off some kind of heat, and that heat in turn is melting the ice above them. 316 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:14,000 If there are things buried under the miles of ice at Antarctica, then that would mean that had to have happened before the last Ice Age. 317 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:23,000 So who knows what we'll find there? Remnants of a lost civilization, perhaps even tools with which these civilizations were built. 318 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:35,000 It's possible that underneath the ice will be keys for us to actually save ourselves and reclaim our ancient past. 319 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:48,000 We may end up in a situation where this can't be covered up anymore, where visible ruins, gigantic pyramids, gigantic obelisks start to peek through the ice. 320 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:54,000 And at that point it's game over. No longer can this be swept under the rug. 321 00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:02,000 There's no question that under the ice of Antarctica, there could be extraterrestrial craft, there could be cities down there. 322 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:11,000 Bottom line is, it will shock the entire belief system of humankind. It will just change everything we know. 323 00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,000 What really lies beneath the ice and snow in Antarctica? 324 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:27,000 Was this frozen continent once covered with lush vegetation, as well as pyramids that predate those in Egypt? 325 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:37,000 And if extraterrestrials truly did inhabit Antarctica, could these other worldly visitors still be hiding out there today? 326 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:46,000 Perhaps one day soon we will discover what the ice of Antarctica has hidden for thousands of years. 327 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:53,000 And it will finally expose the truth about our alien past.
