1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This was the language of the gods.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Did extraterrestrial beings leave behind coded messages?

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
We may find information that is vital to mankind.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Messages that are carved in stone and found all over the world.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
There has been an explosion in new discoveries of the jugglers that we didn't know about before.

6
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:28,000
But once deciphered, we'll see what happens.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
But once deciphered, will they reveal a message of hope?

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Many of the geoglyphs were created in order to contact someone up there.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Or a deadly warning.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Just imagine if we don't get that message, humanity could be in the balance.

11
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:06,000
The Jugglers

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Saudi Arabia, 2004

13
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
While exploring the ancient lava fields of Harat Qaibar,

14
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:33,000
amateur archaeologist Dr. Abdullah Al-Said comes upon a number of what appear to be stone walls,

15
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000
each approximately three feet high.

16
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:46,000
From the ground level, Dr. Al-Said concludes that the structures have no discernible pattern or purpose.

17
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:54,000
That is, not until four years later, when he obtained satellite photos of the very same area.

18
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
What he sees, astounds him.

19
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:05,000
There, detectable from the sky, are a vast collection of more than 400 stone enclosures.

20
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Known to the local Bedouin as the works of the old men,

21
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:16,000
these mysterious structures are quickly examined and are revealed to stretch for hundreds of miles.

22
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000
They were within what's referred to as a lava field of activity.

23
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
And are generally described either as kites,

24
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:35,000
or as gates, which are more rectalinear forms of them.

25
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000
And there are literally hundreds of these.

26
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:48,000
In fact, they stretch all the way from Saudi Arabia, right the way across to Jordan and into Syria.

27
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000
They're kind of like angular pyramids almost going off into the distance like runways,

28
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
widening at one end and being short at the other end.

29
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Although no record exists, indicating when these structures were built, who built them, or why.

30
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:13,000
The predominant theory among mainstream archaeologists is that they were constructed for hunting purposes many thousands of years ago.

31
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:20,000
What we think they are are prehistoric hunting sites where gazelle and other animals would be driven into the enclosure.

32
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,000
And then on the outsides of the enclosure, pits were dug and the animals would fall into the pits.

33
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000
The kites, when you visit them on the ground, are really hard to find.

34
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,000
In the air you get the whole pattern. There are literally thousands of them.

35
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And they must have been in use for thousands of years.

36
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
And why did they fall into disuse? That's an answer we haven't yet got.

37
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Although the theory that the stone structures were used for hunting purposes is compelling,

38
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000
ancient astronaut theorists argued that if these structures were really used for hunting gazelle,

39
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:04,000
the walls would have needed to be more than three feet high, since a gazelle can leap more than ten feet into the air.

40
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Instead, they suggest that because the structures are only viewable from the air, they should be considered geoglyphs.

41
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000
A geoglyph is just basically a drawing on the landscape, usually quite large scale.

42
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Most geoglyphs are in deserts, and in deserts you get a phenomenon which we call desert varnish.

43
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,000
It's just a natural dark patina that builds up on the surface.

44
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:32,000
So if you move the dark parts to one side, expose the lighter soil or sand underneath,

45
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,000
that is one way of making a drawing.

46
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:42,000
The second basic technique is to use the dark stones and pile them together to make shapes.

47
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Geometric shapes, animal shapes or whatever.

48
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And the third basic technique is simply a combination of the two.

49
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
You move things to one side to expose lightness. You use the dark stones to make patterns.

50
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
So you get very nice combination of the two.

51
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,000
In recent years, thanks to modern technology, and particularly satellite photographs,

52
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,000
there has been an explosion in new discoveries of geoglyphs that we didn't know about before.

53
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
The interesting fact about all of these is that they point towards the sky.

54
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And what might this tell us?

55
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Well, the first thing is that many of the geoglyphs that we know today

56
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:28,000
were only discovered once aerial surveys started in around the 1920s.

57
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:34,000
All of them were only really revealed once aircraft got up into the air.

58
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And this tells us something very, very important.

59
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Most geoglyphs really only make sense from above.

60
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
It therefore seems that they would be messages to something non-human, something up there.

61
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,000
When the now legendary Nazca lines of Peru were first discovered in 1927,

62
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,000
they were considered a unique phenomenon.

63
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
But now, with the benefit of satellite imagery,

64
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,000
thousands of ancient geoglyphs are being found all over the world.

65
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
In Kazakhstan, in the southwestern United States,

66
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000
in the Atacama Desert of Chile, and in Bolivia.

67
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Almost everywhere around the world, we find what are known as geoglyphs.

68
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Whether they be the Nazca lines in Peru, British geoglyphs to those in the Middle East,

69
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,000
there's something that are virtually universal around the world,

70
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
and they have been appearing for many hundreds of years.

71
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,000
But why would ancient people, in so many different locations around the world,

72
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000
all be making signs that can only be seen from above?

73
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
We don't know for sure what ancient peoples were trying to communicate through geoglyphs,

74
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000
but the most important thing is the amount of time and effort that went into building them.

75
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
They're not quick sketches. They're many of them whole community projects.

76
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,000
And the time that you spend working in them is time not spent gathering food,

77
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000
not spent defending your land, it's time not spent looking after your children.

78
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000
So the first thing that they communicate is to the community itself

79
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
what is important to the community.

80
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
But could there be another, even more incredible explanation?

81
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Is it possible that these ancient geoglyphs were created not for a terrestrial purpose,

82
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
but for an extraterrestrial one?

83
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

84
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:40,000
and suggest further clues can be found by examining similar shapes and symbols

85
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
that occur on a much smaller scale.

86
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Geoglyphs are gigantic, size versions of what we know as petroglyphs.

87
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:55,000
The most obvious being the rock art that we'd see on surfaces of stone rock around the world

88
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
that date back many, many thousands of years.

89
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Petroglyphs are images carved into stones that are in size or hammered away.

90
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:11,000
They occur all over the world from Australia up through Asia, Europe, Africa, through the Americas.

91
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Perhaps more intriguing than the petroglyphs themselves

92
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:22,000
are the eerie similarities between them and their geoglyphic siblings.

93
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000
We see certain symbols recurring again and again.

94
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
There are many geometric forms.

95
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,000
These take the form of spirals, of concentric rings,

96
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,000
and other more rectilinear or abstract designs.

97
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
There's something that are virtually universal around the world.

98
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,000
One of the most interesting geoglyphs that you have at NASCAR

99
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
is the Sun Star Cross Geoglyph,

100
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:56,000
which is really a very complicated, huge mandala of interconnected stars and triangles.

101
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And it's something we see all over the world,

102
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
and in Tibet and India as mandalas and even yantras.

103
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000
So things like this that are so geometrically complicated

104
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
and are found all over the world

105
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000
indicates that there was some kind of worldwide symbolic language

106
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:20,000
that was brought here by a higher intelligence, probably extraterrestrials.

107
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Is it possible that the thousands of mysterious petroglyphs and geoglyphs

108
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
found throughout the world were intended to be a form of communication

109
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
between early humans and extraterrestrial visitors?

110
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that proof of such a profound idea does exist,

111
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,000
and it can be found by examining an ancient story associated

112
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:53,000
with one of the oldest petroglyphs ever discovered.

113
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Northwest Nevada, 2013

114
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
In the dried-up bed of what was once Winamaka Lake,

115
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:07,000
researchers take carbonate samples from a series of recently discovered limestone boulders.

116
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000
They are covered with what appears to be ancient carvings.

117
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Some of the petroglyphs are believed to be depictions of ancient shipping techniques,

118
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,000
but others are much more difficult to identify.

119
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Even more mysterious is the fact that the local Paiute people

120
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000
say the petroglyphs were not created by their ancestors,

121
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
but by a race of giants.

122
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000
The Paiutes said that initially they did not create petroglyphs,

123
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000
but an ancient race called the Settica did.

124
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:50,000
The Settica was a race of giants that was said to have been white,

125
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:56,000
complexed, having red hair, and well over seven foot tall.

126
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:03,000
The Paiutes explained that these giants lived on the lake in Pyramid Lake on floating cities.

127
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:09,000
And each Paiute legend has their own versions of how petroglyphs were originally created,

128
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000
but they remain to this day unaware now of what a lot of that language was,

129
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,000
like most tribes in the world.

130
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Samples of the petroglyphs were taken to the University of Colorado at Boulder,

131
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:31,000
where scientists performed a series of radiocarbon tests to determine their age.

132
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:42,000
The results are astonishing and reveal the petroglyphs were etched between 10,500 and 14,800 years ago,

133
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000
making them the oldest petroglyphs ever found in North America.

134
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000
When we look at petroglyphs with their incredible spirals, the doorways,

135
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,000
the strange beings that are featured, the stories that are told,

136
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,000
and it suggests that they all have an origin with extraterrestrials themselves.

137
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Could the petroglyphs found at Winamaka Lake really have been created by an ancient race of extraterrestrial giants?

138
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000
If so, what were they intended to represent?

139
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
A map indicating their planet of origin?

140
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Or wasn't an alien form of hieroglyphics, which when deciphered, could teach us profound lessons about mankind's past?

141
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining geoglyphs that some believe are depictions of actual alien beings.

142
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,000
The Atacama Desert, Chile

143
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Located on the western side of a hill called Cerro Unitas,

144
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:55,000
is an enormous geoglyph of a human-like figure known as the Atacama Giant.

145
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Although its origins remain a mystery, some have estimated it to be as much as 10,000 years old.

146
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:10,000
The Atacama Giant is one of about 500 petroglyphs in the Atacama Desert

147
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
that span a huge area of about 15,000 square kilometers,

148
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
produced over about a millennium of time, and linking cultures from the Incas

149
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000
all the way up to the early crystallization of South America.

150
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:30,000
The Atacama Giant itself is about 100 meters tall, and it's a hugely impressive figure.

151
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
It's got the most amazing symmetry and geometry, which would have required the most exquisite planning.

152
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000
Because once you're up there digging away, you can't see exactly the proportions.

153
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
It's clearly a focal point of the culture of the people who made it.

154
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
It has these very strange horizontal and vertical lines coming out of its head.

155
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:01,000
Archao astronomers have suggested that every part of this figure was actually used for astronomical purposes.

156
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000
It marked the different cycles of the moon in every year.

157
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:14,000
If you ask the local elders what the Atacama Giant represents,

158
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000
they will say that it represents sacred space,

159
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:25,000
and that actually entering inside them allowed you communication with the sky gods.

160
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Given that these geoglyphs have multiple layers of meaning and much knowledge encoded with them,

161
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:39,000
we have to ask if maybe it's also a device to tell the locals when the extraterrestrials would return.

162
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Although the Atacama Giant is extraordinary, it is by no means unique.

163
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000
As similar geoglyphs can be found in many parts of the world.

164
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Blythe, California

165
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Located in the desert just west of the Arizona border,

166
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000
an estimated 300 gigantic figures can be seen etched in the arid ground.

167
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Known as the Blythe Intanglios, these ancient carvings depict animals.

168
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Known as the Blythe Intanglios, these ancient carvings depict animals,

169
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,000
spirals, and perhaps most significantly, gigantic humanoid figures.

170
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:40,000
These intanglios are unique in that they are always found on the shorelines of ancient lakes that existed 12,500 years ago and prior.

171
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:51,000
In April 2018, author and ancient astronaut researcher David Chondris traveled to Blythe

172
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:56,000
to meet with Alfredo Figueroa, an elder of the local Chimuawebi tribe.

173
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000
He is also known to many in the region as the Guardian of the Glyphs.

174
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:07,000
David was eager to see firsthand whether the legends surrounding these unique geoglyphs could be true.

175
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,000
They can only be seen from the air really.

176
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,000
It can be seen from the gondola, you can see it all intact.

177
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
If you're walking on it, you really don't know what you're walking on.

178
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Exactly, yeah, right.

179
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,000
We'll be able to see it with the drone I think.

180
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Oh, that's a good footage.

181
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,000
Oh, that's a good connection. You got a drone?

182
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Yes, we've got it.

183
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Yeah, let me get that drone out.

184
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Okay, let me get it.

185
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Who built this and why?

186
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
It's a regular tribe cheer with the Aztecs.

187
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:33,000
The Aztecs.

188
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Right, okay.

189
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
There we go.

190
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Wow, that's pretty interesting.

191
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:54,000
With the drone camera, David and Alfredo are able to see the Blythe and Toglios from a vantage point

192
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:01,000
that their creators never could have, at least not without the aid of some form of aircraft.

193
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000
But if this is true, then why were they created and for whom?

194
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Alright, this is...

195
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
It's all man, see what?

196
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,000
See what means woman and she is pregnant right here.

197
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
She's like having a baby then.

198
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
And?

199
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:18,000
Okay.

200
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Right next to her is the Ocelot.

201
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
Ocelot is a jaguar.

202
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Okay, so you can see it's a cat because that's a very long tail, huh?

203
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Well, the tail is supposed to have been like a...

204
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
A loop.

205
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
A U.

206
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
And in the cosmos, it represents the big dipper.

207
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Here in this place, they came down and because they descended from the cosmos,

208
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:49,000
our ancestors created these images and aligned them with the constellations

209
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
so that we would understand that story.

210
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
But of all the Blythe and Toglios, the one Alfredo is most eager to show David

211
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:03,000
are the ones that are the largest and arguably the most dramatic.

212
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
This is big, this thing is huge.

213
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,000
That's right.

214
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000
They are the ones representing the Aztec gods, Coco Pelle, better known as Quetzalcoatl

215
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
and Ceci Meet, the Aztec star god.

216
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Which glyph is this one?

217
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
What we're seeing here is Coco Pini and he represents Quetzalcoatl.

218
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
The Aztec god of Quetzalcoatl.

219
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,000
So this one is...

220
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Ceci Meet.

221
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Ceci Meet.

222
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
His face there, you see his nose.

223
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
I mean, he's not like a normal person, is he?

224
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
No, he looks just like an...

225
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Like an ET?

226
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
He looks like an extraterrestrial.

227
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Uh-huh, yeah.

228
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,000
An extraterrestrial?

229
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Is it possible that these incredible geoglyphs represent not just mythological gods,

230
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,000
but actual alien beings whose arrival on Earth was witnessed by the Aztec people?

231
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

232
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
and Alfredo Figueroa is convinced that it was here.

233
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000
The location of the Aztec's legendary home of Oslon,

234
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,000
where extraterrestrial visitors came down from the sky.

235
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Oslon is very important in Aztec mythology.

236
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:28,000
It was a place where the gods came down to give them the information and prophecies that the Aztecs had.

237
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000
I mean, you're maintaining that this whole area here around Blythe and the Colorado River

238
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,000
is an ancient homeland of the Aztecs and the gods too?

239
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Yes.

240
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
The geoglyphs were made by the Nawa people.

241
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
The Nawa are the origin of the Aztecas and the Mexicas.

242
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
So they're the ones that made them at first.

243
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:57,000
And then the Nawa people made these geoglyphs to honor the creator gods?

244
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Right. And to not forget where we came from.

245
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,000
That's right.

246
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Could it be that Blythe, California really was the ancestral home of the Aztec people?

247
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000
And that more than 1,000 years ago, the area was visited by extraterrestrial beings?

248
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the answers may be found

249
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
by examining the most mysterious geoglyphs of all.

250
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Incredible markings that are invisible to the naked eye.

251
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Palpa, Peru, December 2017.

252
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Researchers use state-of-the-art drones to photograph the famous Nazca lines with high-resolution cameras.

253
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
This is new technology being employed to search the landscape

254
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000
and to try and find what the human eye has not been able to notice and not even from airplanes.

255
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
What the researchers find amazes them,

256
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,000
as the HD camera reveals dozens of additional geoglyphs that had never been seen before.

257
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000
They include a huge serpent and also a giant fish.

258
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Both of which are cosmic symbols.

259
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000
The thing is, with some of the figures found in Palpa, they think they could be older

260
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
than some of the Nazca figures because we're on hillsides,

261
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
and it's known that the Paracas culture, who were around before the Nazca,

262
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
going back to probably 800 BC or even earlier,

263
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:43,000
does suggest that there was more cultures than just the Nazca people creating these effigies and lines

264
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,000
in that part of the whole Nazca region.

265
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,000
More geoglyphs created by cultures stretching back nearly 3,000 years.

266
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:58,000
More geoglyphs created by cultures stretching back nearly 3,000 years.

267
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
But who were they? What were they trying to communicate?

268
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:13,000
One has to wonder why did our ancestors create these things if they can only be appreciated from the air?

269
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Because here's the thing.

270
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Sometimes it has been proposed that the Nazca lines were crests of different tribes,

271
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
of different societies.

272
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:32,000
But if I were a society leader and I had my crest created on the ground,

273
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
but I could not see it, I would not be very happy with that.

274
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:40,000
That many of them can only be seen from the air,

275
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:50,000
that suggests to me that many of the geoglyphs were in fact created in order to contact someone up there.

276
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:58,000
The ancients were trying to represent that which they believed was coming from the cosmos

277
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:05,000
and that they themselves were trying to communicate or make the link with these cosmic beings.

278
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:16,000
For ancient astronaut theorists, the link between the Nazca lines and extraterrestrial communication is an obvious one.

279
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:24,000
They believe ancient man would have no reason to make such detailed and elaborate representations of life on Earth

280
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
unless they were trying to communicate with someone.

281
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:35,000
They also cite recent images recorded on Mars as evidence which supports their claims.

282
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Certainly the photographs that have been taken by the Mars orbiters and the landers and the rovers would suggest

283
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,000
they're actually geoglyphs on Mars.

284
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:55,000
These geoglyphic formations are structural like we see with the American Indians, the mound builders,

285
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,000
those type of formations.

286
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,000
We're also finding pictographic images like the face on Mars which have facial features.

287
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:12,000
We have wonderful pictures of the surface of Mars and definitely on the surface of Mars we have some stone circles.

288
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Now, nature does not create stone circles.

289
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Nature could make one stone circle but not three or four put together.

290
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Of particular interest to researchers is a recently discovered geological anomaly that strongly resembles a species of bird.

291
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:40,000
In 2002, a member of the Sidonia Institute discovered a parrot formation in the R.G. Basin area of Mars.

292
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:47,000
After two geologists and three veterinarians, one being an avian specialist, examined the formation.

293
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:57,000
They confirmed that the parrot formation had over 17 points of anatomical correctness, all adhering to the proper shape, size and orientation to a real parrot.

294
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:08,000
The same motif can be seen on a copper plate produced by the Hopewell Indians that features the same type of parrot formation with an upraised wing.

295
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Could the mysterious parrot shaped formation on the surface of Mars really offer a link to the thousands of geoglyphs found here on Earth?

296
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:27,000
And if so, does it offer evidence that extraterrestrials have been using them as a form of communication with humans for thousands of years?

297
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:39,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe that the various geoglyphic depictions of animals, humans and birds may not have been intended as mere artwork,

298
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:46,000
but as a form of language whose message for mankind has yet to be decoded.

299
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:51,000
El Cabejil

300
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
June 2017

301
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:08,000
A team of researchers from Yale University and the Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels make an historic find.

302
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:26,000
While exploring this ancient city, they discover a number of rock art carvings which after closer examination date back an estimated 5,200 years, making them the oldest monumental Egyptian hieroglyphs ever discovered.

303
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Using combinations of various shapes and symbols, including representations of humans and animals, hieroglyphics is regarded as a highly sophisticated writing system where every symbol and combination of symbols has a specific meaning.

304
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:51,000
When we look at the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt, they seem to have come from nowhere.

305
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:59,000
No one knows where they came from, no one knows who they really were designed for, for their purpose, they just appeared out of nowhere.

306
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:10,000
So where did these come from? Were they sort of just divinely inspired? Was it some other reason or was it some gods that emerged and arrived and presented them with this information?

307
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:21,000
The term hieroglyphics literally means holy writing, and ancient Egyptian texts say it was a gift given to them from the god Phos.

308
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:39,000
There are legends from all over the world that sky gods have come down to earth and given information of science and learning and also communication and of language to people.

309
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000
And early language and alphabets are these symbols.

310
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:56,000
We're here in Luxor Temple, and the hieroglyphs here are so interesting.

311
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Most people would think that ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs is more like emojis and symbols where the sun and the cow would meet the sky and in this picture of the sky.

312
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
It's not pictures next to each other, it's a proper language.

313
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:21,000
It's a language that has such precision that people from all over the world can translate it with the same exact meaning.

314
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,000
All this language was from the god of knowledge.

315
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:32,000
That's what ancient Egyptian believed, that god Toth gave them the language with all it has.

316
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
And the kings then used it to also communicate with their gods.

317
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Ancient Egyptian kings knew for a fact that their gods understood hieroglyphs.

318
00:28:43,000 --> 00:29:00,000
As described in the pyramid texts, ancient Egyptian religious texts that date back more than 4,000 years, a meteoric iron object called the Ben-Ben Stone was reported as having descended from the heavens like a fire burn.

319
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Even Egyptologists agree that this type of a shape descended from the sky and made a controlled landing, the Ben-Ben Stone opened, and people walked out, the first creator gods.

320
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Now, when I hear a story like this, I wonder if this thing may have been some type of a craft because it is very reminiscent of the top module of an Apollo rocket.

321
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:46,000
The Ben-Ben came with hieroglyphic inscriptions on it and it was the first form of hieroglyphic language, the gift from the gods.

322
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,000
This was the language of the gods.

323
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Did an otherworldly spacecraft bring the language of hieroglyphics to the people of ancient Egypt thousands of years ago?

324
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:13,000
And if so, could there be a connection between hieroglyphs and the various individual figures of animals, shapes and symbols found in the world's petroglyphs and geoglyphs?

325
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:27,000
It would seem that these petroglyphs and geoglyphs are ultimately part of this universal language that's the forerunner of hieroglyphic and pictographic languages too, like the Chinese for example.

326
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:37,000
When we're really able to understand these geoglyphs and petroglyphs, we may find that there is a message for us that we have been missing all this time.

327
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,000
One day, hopefully, we will find that knowledge and know that message.

328
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:54,000
If hieroglyphs actually represent a type of ancient alien language, could their earliest examples exist carved into rocks and etched in desert sands?

329
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Could they be trying to tell us that Earth's history is very different than the one we've been taught?

330
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:39,000
We're on a hill in the middle of a vast steppe, since a giant geoglyph depicting a symbol known as the cosmic egg.

331
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:50,000
According to ancient mythology, it is the great egg of the universe, from which a powerful deity is often hatched or born.

332
00:31:51,000 --> 00:32:09,000
The concept of the cosmic egg is universal, but what's so interesting is that a multinational team who have been investigating this site have come to the conclusion that it's orientated towards the constellation of Cassiopeia.

333
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
Cassiopeia represents the Queen of Heaven.

334
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:25,000
In addition to the alignment of the egg with the Cassiopeia constellation, many scholars believe that the symbol contained in the egg represents that of the cosmic god, Seh.

335
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,000
He represents the all-seeing god.

336
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Macedonian myth says that the god Seh was the child of the great cosmic mother and the supreme god father.

337
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:47,000
While there are various theories as to who made the cosmic egg geoglyph and why, ancient astronaut theorists agree on one point.

338
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:58,000
That this geoglyph, like the thousands of others found all across the world, was intended to be more than simply a work of art or indicate a place of worship.

339
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:06,000
It was intended to communicate something of great, possibly intergalactic importance.

340
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:15,000
You would see that extraterrestrials arrived on Earth and then taught humans the meanings of these symbols.

341
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:28,000
And then humans then used these symbols to try and contact the extraterrestrials themselves, either as giant geoglyphs on the ground, to even just petroglyphs on the rocks.

342
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the notion that petroglyphs and geoglyphs could represent a form of communication taught to humans by alien visitors is supported by our own relatively modern science of semiotics.

343
00:33:49,000 --> 00:34:00,000
It is the study of signs and symbols mankind will need to use when trying to communicate, not only with future generations, but with extraterrestrials.

344
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Pictographs are more than pretty simplistic pictures. They are, in fact, another way of communicating entirely, not only on Earth, but in a spacecraft sent to deep space to communicate, perhaps, with beings we have no idea about how they speak, write, or make signification.

345
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:44,000
In 1991, the United States Department of Energy assigned two teams of experts to the task of devising a marking system for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIP, a nuclear waste facility located in the salt beds of the Delaware Basin, 26 miles east of Carlsbad, New Mexico.

346
00:34:45,000 --> 00:35:01,000
The project attempted to find ways of communicating the hazard of the plant to humans living in the distant future, humans who may have developed entirely new languages or other forms of communication.

347
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:25,000
One prominent member of the project was space artist and science journalist John Lomburg. Lomburg had previously worked on NASA's 1977 Voyager mission, helping to determine what sounds and images should be included on a pair of golden discs being sent into deep space.

348
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:39,000
They put together a panel of people from a wide variety of backgrounds, including me as an artist and as somebody who had experience trying to communicate with extraterrestrials.

349
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:52,000
The idea being was, if we come up with a way of communicating with extraterrestrials, then communicating with humans 10,000 years or a half million years away should be a piece of cake.

350
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:07,000
Through their research, the teams determined that simple images are the most universally recognized, but some can only be understood when paired with other images.

351
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:15,000
We knew that there were certain elements of human art that had appeared so widely that you could assume everybody would understand them.

352
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:25,000
And they were the comic strip, the idea of a series of images where first this happens and then this happens and then this happens. You find that all over.

353
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:35,000
From ancient Egypt to the plains tribes to the Bayou tapestry, the idea of telling a story with pictures seems to be something that everybody knows.

354
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:49,000
So we used the linear story and the stick figure to try to explain the meaning of symbols like the poison symbol or the nuclear radiation trough oil or the do not sign.

355
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:55,000
None of these are universal, but they're easily explained with a little comic strip.

356
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:06,000
The whole of written human history is only 5,000 years old. It's only by the most incredible efforts that we're able to read the earliest human languages.

357
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:12,000
So trying to guess how people are going to understand things 10,000 years from now requires incredibly imaginative thinking.

358
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Symbols are universal and thus when we're looking at hieroglyphs or petroglyphs or rock or geoglyphs, we have to also recognize that there are universal symbols.

359
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:36,000
We may look at them today and not be aware of exactly what they mean.

360
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:50,000
Just possibly some of them could have been influenced by external sources, non-trestrial intelligences, perhaps even extraterrestrials.

361
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:56,000
These messages potentially contain tremendous knowledge for humanity.

362
00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:04,000
It could be something very simple like point yourselves at this particular star system or meet us at this particular time and place.

363
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Just imagine if we don't get that message and don't make that meeting or don't look to that particular star system.

364
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,000
Humanity could be in the balance.

365
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Could it be that the petroglyphs and geoglyphs found all over the world are not only examples of how early humans communicated with each other,

366
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:32,000
but their attempt to replicate a more sophisticated form of extraterrestrial language?

367
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:46,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe the evidence can be found by investigating UFO encounters in which witnesses reported seeing hieroglyphic writing on alien spacecraft.

368
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,000
RENDLESHEM FOREST

369
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk County, England, December 26, 1980.

370
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Near and air base, leased to the United States Air Force by the RAF, strange lights are reported on the horizon.

371
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Two U.S. servicemen are dispatched to the site to investigate what they believe could be a possible downed aircraft.

372
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:29,000
Some U.S. servicemen at a base called Woodbridge saw a strange light over the forest and went to investigate.

373
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:34,000
And in a clearing came across this landed craft.

374
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:41,000
One of them saw this strange sequence of symbols upon the side of it.

375
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:48,000
The object then rose up and disappeared out of sight.

376
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:55,000
What were these hieroglyphs? Were we meant to see them? Were we meant to recall them?

377
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:09,000
There are some very famous cases of hieroglyphs being seen on the side of what appear to be flying saucers or UFOs.

378
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Another UFO incident where hieroglyphs were seen on the side of a strange craft took place at Kecksburg in Pennsylvania.

379
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:31,000
On December 9, 1965, a fireball was seen streaking through the skies of Michigan and Ontario and then crashing in Pennsylvania.

380
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,000
And this became known as the Kecksburg UFO.

381
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:47,000
But what they said that they found on this bell-shaped object were strange hieroglyphic writing all along the base.

382
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Very similar to the early pictographs and petroglyphs and geoglyphs that we find all over the world.

383
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Could the details of these and other UFO reports provide proof that the geoglyphs and petroglyphs found all across the world were actually inspired by alien encounters in the distant past?

384
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:21,000
I believe that one day we will break the entire code of the ancient language locked away in the petroglyphs, geoglyphs and even megaliths of the world.

385
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,000
And in it we may find information that is vital to mankind.

386
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:36,000
When we're really able to understand these geoglyphs and petroglyphs, we may find that there is a message for us that we have been missing all this time.

387
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,000
One day hopefully we will find that knowledge and know that message.

388
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:50,000
It may be that there's a sort of metaphysical time lock or a timeline for the decoding of the petroglyphs and geoglyphs.

389
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Maybe now is the time for us to fully understand what those messages are.

390
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:05,000
Perhaps the keys to breaking the alien code are all around us and have been hiding in plain sight for thousands of years.

391
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:14,000
All we need to do to unlock their mystery is to see them from the same perspective as our extraterrestrial ancestors.

392
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
We must look at them from the sky.
