1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Seven stone giants standing guard over a Pacific island.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
But what are they protecting?

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
And from whom?

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,000
According to the people of the island,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
they face the actual homeland of their ancestors.

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Could the answer be found some 2,000 miles away?

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
We are baffled by what it's all about.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Ancient astronaut theorists,

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Georgiosuclos and David Jundras

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,000
embark on an incredible journey.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
This is the famous Eva.

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
To a land of bizarre figures.

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Look at all these heads with the big,

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,000
goggle-shaped eyes and forbidden places.

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
If you step on the side,

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
something bad is going to happen to you.

17
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,000
In search of what could be the ultimate evidence

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
of mankind's extraterrestrial origins.

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
If we can crack the mysteries of Easter Island,

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
we're going to be able to open up once and for all

21
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
the true mysteries of the ancient world.

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Easter Sunday, April 5th, 1722.

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Dutch explorer Jacob Rogavine

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
is 2,300 miles off the coast of Chile,

25
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
leading a fleet of three ships

26
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
on an expedition to establish a western trade route

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,000
to the Spice Islands.

28
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
In the early afternoon,

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
he is alerted by his crew

30
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
that they have spotted a small island

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
and that there is smoke rising from it in several places,

32
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000
suggesting that it is inhabited.

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
When they reach the shore,

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
they are surprised by the appearance of some of the natives.

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:14,000
When Rogavine and his crew discovered Easter Island in 1722,

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
accounts were written down

37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
that not only did they stumble across

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
normal Polynesian-looking people,

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
but as well, people of giant proportions

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
who were light-skinned, had red hair, and even blonde hair.

41
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
As recorded in the ship's log,

42
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
they also made another, even more unexpected discovery.

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,000
We noticed certain remarkably tall stone figures.

44
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
These stone figures caused us to be filled with wonder,

45
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
for we could not understand how it was possible to erect them.

46
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Some of these statues were a good 30 feet in height

47
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
and broad in proportion.

48
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Rogavine named this remote land Easter Island

49
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
after the day on which it was discovered.

50
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000
But today, nearly 300 years later,

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Rogavine's questions concerning the strange appearance of the natives,

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
as well as the origins and purpose of the gigantic stone statues

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
known as Moai, have yet to be answered.

54
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:25,000
One can imagine that the Moai being set up all around the island

55
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
with their backs to the outside world looking inwards,

56
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
were a kind of protective barrier

57
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
that the ancestors would look after them

58
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
and protect their little world.

59
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
The thing about these Moai

60
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
is that they have these very strange faces, very elongated.

61
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000
They don't look quite human, they're humanoid,

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,000
but they're somehow different than ordinary humans.

63
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
They look almost alien in appearance.

64
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,000
And you have to wonder, what do they ultimately represent?

65
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Carved from volcanic rock,

66
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
the nearly 900 Moai, each way up to 90 tons,

67
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000
and the tallest of them,

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
tower above the landscape at heights of more than 30 feet.

69
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:13,000
There have been many theories over the years as to how they were moved.

70
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:18,000
The first theories thought that they must have been dragged horizontally

71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,000
on sledges or rollers or something of that kind.

72
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
It was tried again recently for a TV film,

73
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
and again they moved it a few meters,

74
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
but it really doesn't prove anything.

75
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:35,000
The idea that the trees were cut down at some point

76
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:40,000
and they were all used for rollers, wooden logs,

77
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
false by the wayside because wooden rollers

78
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:49,000
would not be able to support the weight of some of these statues.

79
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You're talking about several hundred statues,

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
and it would depend on the size and weight of the statue,

81
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
the number of people you had available to help,

82
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000
the distance you were going to go, the kind of terrain.

83
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,000
So basically we don't really know.

84
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000
For ancient astronaut theorists,

85
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000
the answers to just how the Moai were transported

86
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
and positioned in the island

87
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000
can be found in the legends told by the native people.

88
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Legends that suggested a type of energy

89
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:27,000
known as mana was used to literally levitate the giant sculptures into place.

90
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,000
According to the oral tradition and the legends,

91
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
the people used the mana of the Ariki to make the Moai walk.

92
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
The Ariki were the god kings of the communities.

93
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,000
The king was given the gift of mana

94
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
from the great creator god, Maki Maki.

95
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Legend holds it that the king commanded

96
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
that these great stone statues walk.

97
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,000
And one has to wonder, well,

98
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000
either they all were off their rockers describing these things

99
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,000
or they witnessed something.

100
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,000
And I'm leaning more in the direction that they witnessed something

101
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
because there had to have been a spark of inspiration.

102
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,000
And so in my opinion, mana was some type of extraterrestrial technology

103
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000
that allowed these stones to be levitated into place.

104
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
When the statues had pupils,

105
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
they came to life,

106
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,000
imbued with mana to have supernatural powers.

107
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,000
According to the Easter Island myth,

108
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
this power came out of the eyes of the statues

109
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,000
and was this mystical power,

110
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,000
it's like it was creating some kind of force field of energy

111
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
that surrounded the island and protected it.

112
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
So you have to wonder if there's something real here

113
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
and was it some kind of extraterrestrial technology?

114
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Of all the many mysteries of Easter Island,

115
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
perhaps the most puzzling involves not only the construction of the Moai,

116
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
but their positioning on the island.

117
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,000
880 of the 887 Moai face inland.

118
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
But on the west edge of the island,

119
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000
seven of the Moai are positioned on a platform known as Ahu Akivi

120
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
and face outwardly towards the sea.

121
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Moais face in, it's believed because they're protecting the village

122
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
that they oversee.

123
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Ahu Akivi is the one exception.

124
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,000
The Moais there look out to sea.

125
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Not only that, they're identical.

126
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
But why would these seven identical Moai face out to sea

127
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
when all of the other Moai on the island face inland?

128
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Could it be that they were meant to point to a specific location

129
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
somewhere farther out?

130
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
Perhaps the answer can be found

131
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:17,000
by drawing a straight line from the line of sight of the seven Moai.

132
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Following it on a northwesterly route,

133
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
the first landmass in its path is the Marquesas Islands,

134
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000
roughly 2,300 miles from Easter Island.

135
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,000
The Marquesas are extremely remote island group,

136
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,000
which is part of French Polynesia.

137
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
It's a three and a half hour flight northeast of Tahiti

138
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
and it's a part of books known as the Polynesian Triangle,

139
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:46,000
which is found by Hawaii in the north, Easter Island in the east,

140
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
and New Zealand in the west.

141
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
It was the last place on earth that was discovered

142
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
and there's probably more mystery shrouded in the Pacific

143
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000
than the other place in the world.

144
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
To follow up on the incredible theory that Easter Island's origins

145
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000
might be found on one of the remote Marquesas Islands.

146
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
In June 2018, ancient astronaut theorists,

147
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Giorgio Suclos and David Childress

148
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000
set out to explore the islands for themselves.

149
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
It's going to be a great exploration to see what connection there is

150
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
between Easter Island and right here.

151
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
It should be quite the adventure.

152
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Hello.

153
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Hello.

154
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
I'm Giorgio. Pleasure to meet you.

155
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
I'm Aniata.

156
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Hi, I'm David.

157
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Arriving on one of the Marquesas Islands,

158
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:49,000
ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio Suclos and David Childress

159
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
meet with local guide Aniata Kimitete.

160
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Let's go explore.

161
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Great. All right.

162
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,000
She has brought them to an area known as Kamu'ihei,

163
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,000
a secret place believed to be rich in what the natives call

164
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
mana or spiritual power.

165
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Here, they hope to find the answer as to why seven

166
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,000
of the nearly 900 giant statues on Easter Island

167
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,000
are all facing in the direction of this remote island chain

168
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
in the South Pacific.

169
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000
So we are arriving at this spot where I really wanted to show you

170
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
about this site.

171
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Look at this.

172
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,000
What we see here is what we call petroglyphs.

173
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yeah.

174
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
So you have three turtles.

175
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
So one, two, three here.

176
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And also on the rock, you can see a canoe.

177
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,000
Okay.

178
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,000
So you have the head of the canoe here that looks a little bit

179
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,000
like a bird.

180
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Their canoe is had a bird head at the front.

181
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Yeah.

182
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
You see the beak?

183
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Yeah, that looks like a bird head.

184
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Yeah.

185
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
And what is the significance of the turtles?

186
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:06,000
The turtle is actually the messenger from the gods.

187
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
He was a very sacred animal.

188
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,000
People were not allowed to eat them.

189
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
You know, I think this is really interesting what you said

190
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,000
that the turtle is regarded here as a messenger of the gods

191
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
because this is not something new.

192
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,000
It's not something native to this area.

193
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
There are other parts of the world where the turtle is

194
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,000
described by having descended from the sky.

195
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
And the idea that this is here too considered a messenger

196
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,000
of the gods, that to me is a connection to potential extraterrestrials.

197
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Throughout the world, numerous ancient cultures have origin stories

198
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000
that involve some sort of a divine or cosmic turtle.

199
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Followers of Japanese Shinto venerate the Kamiishi,

200
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,000
a stone turtle that portends the end of the world.

201
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000
In Guatemala, there are legends of giant flying turtles

202
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000
and even artifacts that feature the image of a man

203
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:10,000
wearing what appears to be a helmet lying inside a turtle shell.

204
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,000
In North America, the Iroquois Indians tell tales of a sky goddess

205
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
who falls to Earth from the sky,

206
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
where upon a giant turtle rises up from the ocean to catch her.

207
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
I think it's interesting here this canoe, which would have been very large,

208
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:34,000
has the bird head on it, and you have the birdmen of Easter Island

209
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
that are so famous.

210
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
One of Easter Island's ancient traditions involves Tungaramano,

211
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
or the birdmen called.

212
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000
According to legend, the creator god, Maki Maki,

213
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,000
was looking in a mirror and saw a bird land on his shoulder.

214
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Seeing his image combined with the bird,

215
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:00,000
he decided to make a son who was half man, half bird.

216
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,000
In turn, the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island

217
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
worship the birdman as the predecessor of all humans.

218
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000
One of the central focuses of the rituals,

219
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
the annual rituals at Easter Island,

220
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000
was that of Tangatu Manu, the birdman.

221
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000
And the birdman is a universal symbol

222
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
that we find in many parts of the globe

223
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,000
that relates to ancestry associated with figures,

224
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,000
characters in feather coats,

225
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:41,000
who were seen to be able to go between this world and the next.

226
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
And here we have these same ideas on Easter Island.

227
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Is there more to see on the island?

228
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,000
We have a lot more to see on the island.

229
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,000
OK.

230
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
So let's go.

231
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
OK.

232
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,000
After showing Giorgio and David the ancient petroglyphs,

233
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Anyada takes them to a site

234
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
that has some of the most striking statuary in the Marqueses.

235
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Right now we are at the Tohua of Temeja,

236
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
so the Tohua is the gathering place.

237
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,000
And so this sculpture here is a modern sculpture.

238
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,000
But is this based on something old?

239
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Yes, because the site that we are on was rebuilt,

240
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
even though it's modern, it's really based on the original statue.

241
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Oh, wow. OK. Does this consider the tiki?

242
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Yes, these tiki represent the population.

243
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
To the Marquesan people, what is a tiki?

244
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,000
A tiki, at first, was the representation of our god of magic and sorcery.

245
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,000
He was one of the only gods in French Polynesia that has the face of a man.

246
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
He became our protector,

247
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
because when you have a tiki by your side,

248
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
then you're protected from your enemy.

249
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
In the Marqueses, the word tiki can be used to refer

250
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
both to an ancestral figure that came to the islands in ancient times,

251
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,000
as well as the statues that represent him.

252
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,000
They are variously carved in both wood and stone,

253
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000
and often depict a being with large, goggle-like eyes.

254
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,000
The lore has it that tiki was the primary ancestor

255
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Enx created in the image of the sky god.

256
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
The local people made statues in honor of their creator god,

257
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
which were god, tiki, and used them in worship.

258
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000
And this is what tiki looks like?

259
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
Yes, because they say in the legend that when tiki left the earth,

260
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,000
they made the sculpture of how he looked like,

261
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
just to have something to remember from tiki.

262
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
So that's how he looked like, actually.

263
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
It looks very strange to me.

264
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
This is a representation of what your ancestors thought

265
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
this figure looked like.

266
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
It doesn't look like a man.

267
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
It looks weird.

268
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Yeah, I mean, he sort of looks like a man,

269
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,000
but with these big, goggle eyes and the elongated head and everything,

270
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
he looks like an extraterrestrial.

271
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,000
From what you know, do you think that the people of the Marqueses

272
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
went as far as Easter Island?

273
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Are there any legends or stories behind that?

274
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:31,000
So there is one story where they said that one chief of the island

275
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
sent his seven sons to Easter Island

276
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
because they were fighting a lot over here.

277
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
So he sent them away, told them if they wanted to come back,

278
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
they had to make peace with one another.

279
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Seven brothers?

280
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Princes who left the Marqueses Islands for Easter Island hundreds of years ago?

281
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,000
I think it's really fascinating that in the Marqueses,

282
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,000
there's a story of seven brothers that were exiled by their father

283
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,000
in order to go to Easter Island.

284
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,000
You combine that with the fact that there is this platform on Easter Island

285
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000
with seven Muayes standing on there

286
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:20,000
that would indicate to me that the Marqueses and Easter Island are in fact connected.

287
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:28,000
But if the stone carvings and ancient legends prove that the origins of Easter Island

288
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:33,000
can be found some 2,000 miles away in the Marqueses,

289
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
could there have been another, perhaps extraterrestrial reason

290
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,000
for the exile of the seven royal brothers from their homeland?

291
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

292
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000
and suggest the evidence points to everything from the strange faces of the Tiki gods

293
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000
to bloody stories of human sacrifice.

294
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Ancient astronaut theorists, Giorgio Succolos and David Childress

295
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
are in the remote Marqueses Islands.

296
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,000
They are searching for clues that may help them solve

297
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,000
some of the most compelling mysteries concerning an island

298
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
located some 2,000 miles to their east, Easter Island.

299
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,000
I think it's really fascinating that of all the standing heads in Easter Island,

300
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,000
seven of them actually point in the direction of the Marqueses.

301
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000
And so now the question is why I think it's quite possible

302
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:43,000
that the Marqueses and Easter Island are in fact connected.

303
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
But perhaps equally compelling, if not slightly disturbing,

304
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,000
are numerous carvings found throughout the islands,

305
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000
which depict strange, big-eyed gods known as Tiki's.

306
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
So right now we are at the Tohu of Hikoku'a.

307
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:07,000
The Tiki placed on a site like this, like really a sacred site.

308
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,000
They were made to scare the people away

309
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:19,000
because they were telling, hey, this is a very sacred site, so be careful.

310
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,000
If you step on the site, if you do something wrong,

311
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
then something bad is going to happen to you.

312
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,000
So I think if we are talking about extraterrestrials in ancient times visiting

313
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,000
and you follow the ancient stories when they came down with fire, smoke and noise,

314
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
that that is the reason why they were afraid.

315
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000
There are multiple other versions of the exact same motif worldwide,

316
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000
with people with elongated skulls and giant goggle eyes.

317
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,000
Like what comes to mind immediately is in Peru.

318
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Yeah, Tijuana and Pumapunku, you have the same goggle-headed eye people.

319
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000
You have that in Mexico too, with the Olmec statues.

320
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000
Yes.

321
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:13,000
These may be depictions of actual extraterrestrials who visited the Earth thousands of years ago.

322
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Irreliable to the Tiki of the Marquesas, figures with oversized skulls and enormous eyes

323
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000
have surfaced at archaeological sites throughout the world.

324
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Among these are the dogu figures of Japan,

325
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:36,000
the Aboriginal, what Gina Petroglyphs of Australia,

326
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,000
the Terragotta figurines recently unearthed in northern Ghana,

327
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:47,000
the Trixtergod Ishu of the Yoruba people of Nigeria

328
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,000
and the stunning Petroglyphs of Kara Hunch,

329
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,000
otherwise known as Arminius Stonehenge.

330
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000
So it does seem that Tiki, he's walking, he's living and breathing.

331
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
He's not just a spirit, is he?

332
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
No, he's not a spirit.

333
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:13,000
So they say that Tiki is not really a god, but he's not really a man also.

334
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Hanyata, thank you so much for showing us everything here.

335
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
It's truly tremendous.

336
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000
You're welcome.

337
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,000
Thank you so much.

338
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,000
Have a nice travel.

339
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Thank you.

340
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
One day after their informative visit to the island of Nukuhiva,

341
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Giorgio and David travel next to the nearby island of Hiva'oha

342
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
to see first hand the most unusual of all the island Tiki's.

343
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Ka'oha.

344
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Hello.

345
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Mavi mai, welcome to the doors of paradise.

346
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Good to see you.

347
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Follow me please.

348
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Okay.

349
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:54,000
As their local guide, they have enlisted Hiva'oha resident Himata Bono.

350
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000
This is incredible.

351
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,000
So what are we looking at here?

352
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,000
What is this?

353
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
This is Maki Ita'u'a Pepe, the goddess of fertility.

354
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Down the belly, you can see the symbol for the archaeologist,

355
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
the finger, it's a dog.

356
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000
For me, it's wrong.

357
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
It's more a llama.

358
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Oh, it totally looks like a llama.

359
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
So the llama is from Inca tribes.

360
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
I totally think this looks like a llama.

361
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,000
I mean, there's no question in my mind.

362
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,000
And I also don't think that this was altered.

363
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
This is original.

364
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
And I don't see any changes.

365
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:37,000
So either this is not authentic, or if it is authentic, it's a llama,

366
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
and it proves connection to South America.

367
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
South America?

368
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Is it possible that the llama, believed to be native to South America,

369
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
was known to people living on this remote island chain

370
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
some 3,500 miles away?

371
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
But how?

372
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Some people say that it's a woman giving birth.

373
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Yes.

374
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Do the women here on the Marquesas Islands, do they do this?

375
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
They lie on their stomach and give birth?

376
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,000
No.

377
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
No?

378
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
This is crazy.

379
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Huh.

380
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,000
To me, it looks like something from the sky.

381
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Yes.

382
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
It's like maybe some flying vehicle.

383
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,000
Exactly.

384
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
It's a great question.

385
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Yeah.

386
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Perhaps what we're looking at here is some type of a craft,

387
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000
because you have the windows in the front,

388
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
which are these giant goggles,

389
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
and then you have the mouth in the front,

390
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:42,000
which to me looks like some type of an air intake.

391
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Underneath, you have a lifting body that goes underneath the entire body,

392
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,000
and if you combine that with the story of this object,

393
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
or this woman giving birth,

394
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:02,000
if someone has never seen passengers disembarking from an actual airplane,

395
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000
if they have no idea what is happening,

396
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,000
well, all of a sudden,

397
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000
a flying vehicle is giving birth to people.

398
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Is it possible that this ancient statue that has been interpreted in modern times

399
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000
as a fertility goddess,

400
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,000
is actually depicting an extraterrestrial spacecraft?

401
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:30,000
I think that Tiki's are nothing else but misunderstood technology

402
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:38,000
that over time turned into divine objects of magic and sorcery.

403
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
This is a female Tiki, but you have another Tiki female.

404
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,000
More important, just up the side.

405
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
Can we go look at it?

406
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,000
Yes.

407
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,000
Follow me?

408
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Oh, wow.

409
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Clearly, this Tiki, the head is missing,

410
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
but I see that it has six fingers.

411
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Yes, it's amazing.

412
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
It's mysterious just today.

413
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,000
It's for that reason, the archaeologon, no thing, what's that?

414
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,000
It's very feasible to me that they actually try to imitate

415
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:21,000
whoever visited or whoever came here to impart this knowledge.

416
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Why would they carve six fingers if they did not see six fingers?

417
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,000
So we should not say, oh, this is just fantasy.

418
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
I think they saw someone with six fingers.

419
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Is that possible?

420
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Yeah, it's possible.

421
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,000
Yes.

422
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
So this is the Taka'i.

423
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Taka'i is God of power.

424
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000
He's a protector for the tribe here.

425
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,000
So these are protectors, and all the Tiki's here,

426
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,000
and the Mo'ai on Easter Island are protectors as well?

427
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Yes, from outside, from others, people who came to the land.

428
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:03,000
So on Easter Island, you have seven Mo'ai,

429
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
and they are looking towards Marquesis.

430
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000
Is this some ancestors or a connection?

431
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,000
It's a connection.

432
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Because they hear or Tiki look in the direction of Easter Island.

433
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
All of the ancient Tiki's in the Marquesis

434
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,000
are positioned to look in the direction of Easter Island.

435
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,000
But why?

436
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:30,000
And if both the Mo'ai and the Tiki's are depictions of extraterrestrial visitors,

437
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:35,000
why do they appear so different, both in height and appearance?

438
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Is it possible that the seven brothers of legend left the Marquesis for Easter Island

439
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,000
because they were fighting with each other?

440
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Or could they have been fleeing for their lives?

441
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000
For Giorgio and David, these questions form the pieces of a confounding puzzle,

442
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:58,000
one they are both determined to solve before they return home.

443
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000
While visiting the ancient site known as Iipona, located in the Marquesis Islands,

444
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:12,000
local guide, Imata Bono, has just shown ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio Sucalos and David Choudras,

445
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,000
a number of sacred Tiki statues which have six fingers on each hand.

446
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
That is very interesting to me.

447
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000
He has also just shown the ancient Tiki's in the Marquesis Island.

448
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:34,000
He has also just informed them that the Tiki gods were believed by the natives to possess an extraordinary amount of what they called mana,

449
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:41,000
a spiritual power which if consumed would make the natives strong and virtually invincible.

450
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:46,000
So how does this Tiki have mana? How does it get the mana?

451
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:52,000
You can have the mana inside the Tiki or inside the human.

452
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:00,000
During the war, the ancient did the sacrifice because the chief of the tribe who win the war

453
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
ate all that things for absorba, the mana.

454
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I see.

455
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:11,000
Eat the mana? Is Imata Bono describing a form of ritual cannibalism

456
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:18,000
in which the natives of the Marquesis would eat the bodies of those who they believed possessed spiritual power?

457
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
And where is the mana contained?

458
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000
The mana is coming out of the eyes, right?

459
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,000
Eyes, the tongue, the liver, the brain, the heart.

460
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
So they would eat the eyes and the tongue?

461
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000
My ancestor was no cannibal. There was anthropophage. It's very different.

462
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:42,000
Because cannibal is for it the human all times. My ancestor was anthropophage.

463
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Is it possible that the natives of the Marquesis Islands believed that the mana or spiritual power of their Tiki gods

464
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
could be literally consumed?

465
00:28:54,000 --> 00:29:00,000
If so, was their eagerness to eat the organs not only of the Tiki, but of their offspring?

466
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:09,000
One of the chief reasons why the so-called Seven Brothers fled the Marquesis for Easter Island thousands of years ago.

467
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Here there are very large boulders of basalt. It's very heavy.

468
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:24,000
I know in some places in Polynesia and Micronesia they have legends that the stones are flying through the air.

469
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Oh no, here it's the land of mana. My ancestor was very powerful.

470
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
They keep the rocks and put on the elbows in the past.

471
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
So they are giants and very strong and they can lift these big stones?

472
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:46,000
We found inside the caves near the crest in the mountains some bones very very long.

473
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Oh, giant bones found in caves on the Marquesis Islands?

474
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Could this be the evidence Georgio and David had been searching for that suggests the early inhabitants of Easter Island

475
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
were in fact giant alien hybrid beings?

476
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,000
Beings who forged a colony of giants much like themselves

477
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,000
and who commemorated their time on the island by fashioning giant stone sentinels.

478
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:26,000
We have these stories of giants worldwide that in Malta we have some of the biggest megalithic sites in all of Europe

479
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
that allegedly were built by the giants.

480
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:37,000
The giants were offspring of the gods after they mated with human women.

481
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Then you have stories of the giants on Sardinia, many of whom have been suggested were originated by extraterrestrials.

482
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:56,000
And the origin story of the giants in the Bible is that angels mated with human women.

483
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,000
The offspring were the giants.

484
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:11,000
So we have to wonder are the seven sentinels actually giants part alien and part human?

485
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Perhaps they were escaping the Marquesis Islands because they were the ruling elite.

486
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:25,000
And essentially they were overthrown because they had this power and they went to Easter Island.

487
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Hi Marta, it's been so interesting here. You have such good information. I really appreciate it.

488
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Yeah, thank you for sharing. You're welcome.

489
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Could it be that the so-called seven princes of the Marquesis were giant alien human hybrids?

490
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Hybrids who may have had access to extraterrestrial technologies that caused them to be thought of by the natives as kings or gods?

491
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:04,000
And if so, could it be that the real reason these seven brothers left the Marquesis was not because they were fighting,

492
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:11,000
but because they were fleeing for their lives in fear of being killed and eaten by the natives?

493
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say the answer is a profound yes and believe that even more answers can be found,

494
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
not only by examining the stone statues of Easter Island,

495
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:29,000
but by also taking a closer look at what some of them are wearing on their heads.

496
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Isolated in the vast expanse of the South Pacific, Easter Island remains a land of mystery.

497
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Since its discovery by Europeans in the 18th century, very little is still known about the people who once lived there or their origins.

498
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:02,000
But of all the mysteries involving the island otherwise known as Rampanui,

499
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:12,000
the most persistent involved the nearly 900 megalithic statues known as Moai and why they were put here in the first place.

500
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:19,000
The Moai are considered to be no more than perhaps a thousand years old.

501
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:29,000
However, it has been established that some of them penetrate down into the ground by a great amount of feet

502
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:36,000
to reveal the rest of the body, not just the oversized head and the amount of patternation

503
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:46,000
suggests that they are infinitely older than a thousand years and could go back many, many, many millennia.

504
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:53,000
When you visit Easter Island and you look at the sites there, the statues, the megalithic walls,

505
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:57,000
you realize they're much older than what history tells us.

506
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Further clouding the issue is a discovery that was made in 2017.

507
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:11,000
With the help of photography and 3D modeling programs, archeologists discovered

508
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:19,000
that the 13-ton stone hats known as Pukau on the Easter Island Moai contain a wide diversity of petroglyphs

509
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,000
made by what appear to be different groups of people.

510
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:30,000
The hats that are on top of the Easter Island Moai are a little bit of a mystery,

511
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:35,000
but recently they've been analyzed and carvings have been found on them,

512
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:39,000
which has questioned the idea of what they really represent.

513
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Perhaps there is something else going on here.

514
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:49,000
It could well be that a number of different cultures live on Easter Island.

515
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:01,000
One of the most fascinating monuments on Easter Island is the stone platform, or A-Hoo, known as Vinapu.

516
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:10,000
And this is a huge megalithic construction that is essentially a wall made of cyclopean megalithic blocks

517
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,000
that all interlock with each other.

518
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:21,000
When you look at this, you cannot help but think of Cusco in Peru.

519
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,000
And there has to be a relationship between the two cultures.

520
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:32,000
All of these are part of a much bigger transmission of knowledge,

521
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,000
where the belief, common belief, was an origin amongst the stars.

522
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:47,000
If, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, the seven Moai that face out to sea

523
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,000
really do represent a race of giant alien hybrid beings

524
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:57,000
that fled the Marquesas Islands hundreds and perhaps thousands of years ago,

525
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:02,000
do the hundreds of other Moai represent their offspring?

526
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:07,000
And if so, could they have had contact with other parts of the world,

527
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:13,000
making Easter Island a virtual hub of extraterrestrial activity?

528
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Easter Island has also got the strong legend that it is the center of the world,

529
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,000
or the navel of the world.

530
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:30,000
And there are various places around our planet that are said to be the navel of the world.

531
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:37,000
They're in Cusco, that Delphi in Greece, at Sardinia and in Egypt.

532
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:45,000
In many cases, there's a stone ball that is marking this center of the world spot.

533
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000
And we have that at Easter Island.

534
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:56,000
So these navels of the world are apparently power places, places of vortex energy.

535
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,000
It would seem that they're all connected to this worldwide energy grid.

536
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Why did this huge megalithic culture emerge here?

537
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:13,000
And perhaps this tells us that there is some special quality with Easter Island,

538
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:19,000
one that was recognized by the ancestors of the Rapa Nui culture.

539
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Were the seven Moai that face the sea positioned so as to indicate a warning

540
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:32,000
to those natives on the Marquesas that wanted to hunt them and eat them for their power?

541
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Or were they meant to serve as a commemoration,

542
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,000
not only of Easter Island's extraterrestrial origins,

543
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
but of the history of alien activity on our planet?

544
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000
As far as Georgiosuclos and David Childress are concerned,

545
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000
there still needs to be further investigation before those questions can be answered.

546
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:03,000
On the last day of their incredible journey to the Marquesas Islands,

547
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:11,000
ancient astronaut theorists Georgiosuclos and David Childress meet at a cafe on the island of Nukohiva.

548
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:17,000
They are confident that their investigation has led to not only evidence of a direct link

549
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,000
between the Marquesas and Easter Island,

550
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:25,000
but also a greater understanding as to how the Marquesas are connected to the island.

551
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:31,000
They are also understanding as to the kinds of beings who lived on these islands thousands of years ago.

552
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,000
Well, this was an incredible experience.

553
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:43,000
From all the people we've talked to, these ancient civilizations are way older than what we were taught.

554
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Yeah, you have these strong connections from the Marquesas to Easter Island,

555
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:54,000
and the idea of the flying turtle would be what you would think of as a disk flying.

556
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:01,000
They knew that turtles don't fly, so why would they have stories of flying turtles?

557
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:10,000
If we had airships landing here, and then the people are wondering, how do these turtles fly?

558
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Yes.

559
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:18,000
And the extraterrestrials tell them, well, they fly with this energy called mana.

560
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
And there they transcribe this mana energy to everything.

561
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:29,000
And, you know, the tiki's have the mana, the stones have the mana, mana's everywhere.

562
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:35,000
And all of a sudden, something that was technologically in origin becomes magic.

563
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:39,000
It becomes sorcery. It becomes something divine.

564
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:44,000
Everything that they're talking about and depicting would seem to be an extraterrestrial.

565
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:53,000
One of my favorite pieces that we saw was that tiki of this woman laying on a stomach and she's giving birth.

566
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
But that's not the position in which to deliver a baby.

567
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:03,000
To me, it looks like some sort of a flying object where passengers are disembarking or pilots,

568
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,000
and if this is seen by someone who has never seen an airplane,

569
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,000
well, then for all intents and purposes, that thing is giving birth.

570
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:18,000
So to me, it's a wonderful and interesting misunderstanding.

571
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:31,000
What really shows, I think, this connection between the marquesas, perhaps also that these places are space ports, in a sense.

572
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:39,000
And isn't necessarily the way that Western archaeologists tell the story.

573
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:48,000
Whether it is tiki's here in the marquesas or Moai in Easter Island, we're looking at misunderstood technology.

574
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:55,000
Because I think that when you combine this with the old stories of legends, of people descending from the sky,

575
00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:04,000
with a lot of noise, smoke and fire, those depictions may represent either extraterrestrials themselves

576
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:09,000
or craft that the extraterrestrials used.

577
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Were the seven stone sentinels of Easter Island placed there to commemorate

578
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:21,000
what may once have been a land of giant hybrids, part human and part alien?

579
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:29,000
As far as Georgiosuclos and David Childress are concerned, the answer is a profound yes.

580
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:37,000
They also believe the ancient Moai on Easter Island now serve a different, if perhaps unintended purpose.

581
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Instead of silently standing guard, as if to protect the island and its secrets,

582
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:50,000
the Moai might actually be helping to reveal the truth about mankind's extraterrestrial history.

583
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:56,000
A history that may very soon repeat itself when we, in the not so distant future,

584
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:05,000
could come face to face with those same alien visitors who are once immortalized in stone.
