1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,800 High atop the Himalayas could be a gateway to another realm. 2 00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:08,840 There's a place somewhere in Tibet 3 00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:10,800 that is some kind of vortex. 4 00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:15,780 This said that this was the abode of the gods, 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,380 with thousands of reports of UFOs. 6 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,380 Suddenly, they saw an oval-shaped object 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,920 pass over them. 8 00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:25,720 Accounts of terrifying monsters. 9 00:00:25,820 --> 00:00:29,220 These yeti's are able to appear and disappear at will. 10 00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:32,680 And mysterious mass vanishings. 11 00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:34,520 This kingdom had power. 12 00:00:34,620 --> 00:00:35,580 It had glory. 13 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,220 And then it disappeared. 14 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,860 Could Tibet be an extraterrestrial outpost on Earth? 15 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,800 The reason why this area of the world 16 00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:50,240 has become a religious center is because of the arrival 17 00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:51,240 of the extraterrestrials. 18 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,840 There is a doorway in the universe. 19 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,420 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,180 It demands we question everything 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,720 we have ever been taught. 22 00:01:08,820 --> 00:01:12,160 The evidence is all around us. 23 00:01:12,260 --> 00:01:16,200 The future is right before our eyes. 24 00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:19,000 We are not alone. 25 00:01:19,100 --> 00:01:21,340 We have never been alone. 26 00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:33,020 On the northern side of the Himalayas 27 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:39,220 lies the highest geographical region on Earth, Tibet, known 28 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:41,120 as the roof of the world. 29 00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:45,960 It has an average elevation of nearly 15,000 feet. 30 00:01:46,060 --> 00:01:50,140 There is 40% less oxygen to breathe here than at sea level. 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,180 And the weather can be dangerous and unpredictable. 32 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,080 Yet more than 3 million people call Tibet home. 33 00:01:57,180 --> 00:01:59,540 Millions more brave the harsh conditions 34 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,620 to travel here each year and visit Tibet's sacred peaks, 35 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,620 including Mount Everest, which reaches nearly 5 and 1 half 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:09,960 miles into the heavens. 37 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:19,060 Tibet to be called land of snow and also be called 38 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,720 Shangri-La. 39 00:02:21,820 --> 00:02:27,360 Tibet land is very high, isolated, and very unique. 40 00:02:27,460 --> 00:02:31,460 Here is this mountain kingdom very hard to get to 41 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:37,100 with an exotic culture all its own amazing architecture. 42 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,640 And the dizzying heights of its location. 43 00:02:41,740 --> 00:02:43,840 There are a lot of mysteries involved 44 00:02:43,940 --> 00:02:45,640 with the origin of the land. 45 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:47,900 There are a lot of mysteries involved 46 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,900 with the origin of Tibet and also a lot of history. 47 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,500 Tibet is usually referred to as land of gods. 48 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,040 It is an exotic land where many people, Westerners, 49 00:03:01,140 --> 00:03:04,140 wanted to go there. 50 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,140 The secrets of the Tibetan culture 51 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:13,920 have eluded us and held our fascination since early times. 52 00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:19,460 Humans have inhabited Tibet for at least 20,000 years. 53 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Little is known about the earliest inhabitants 54 00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:25,000 of this forbidding environment. 55 00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:28,540 But ancient Tibetan texts identify the region's first 56 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:35,140 rulers as the Jiangxiang people who emerged around 500 BC. 57 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,320 Much about this early civilization is still a mystery. 58 00:03:39,420 --> 00:03:41,520 But their spiritual tradition, called 59 00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:47,020 the Tibetan god, remains a powerful force in Tibet. 60 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,020 The native indigenous Tibetan religion, 61 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,500 which is known as bun or bunpo, that in many ways 62 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,960 is similar to Taoism. 63 00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:57,560 It connects nature and spirituality. 64 00:03:57,660 --> 00:04:00,640 Certain spots are very powerful spots. 65 00:04:00,740 --> 00:04:05,240 There's a lot of magic involved, like with demons and exorcisms. 66 00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:09,480 In the eighth century, Tibetan king Trisong Detsen 67 00:04:09,540 --> 00:04:14,840 introduced a new religion and philosophy to the area, Buddhism. 68 00:04:14,940 --> 00:04:18,440 Followers of Buddhism share a belief in reincarnation 69 00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:21,780 and don't acknowledge a supreme god or deity. 70 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,120 They instead focus on achieving enlightenment, 71 00:04:25,220 --> 00:04:28,920 a state of inner peace, and wisdom. 72 00:04:29,020 --> 00:04:33,520 The combination of bun, Buddhism, and other local traditions 73 00:04:33,620 --> 00:04:37,960 resulted in what is known today as Tibetan Buddhism. 74 00:04:38,020 --> 00:04:40,680 At the same time Buddhism was introduced, 75 00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:44,120 Tibet also gave rise to the world's most mysterious 76 00:04:44,220 --> 00:04:48,020 spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama. 77 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,360 We believe the Dalai Lama is the original lineage 78 00:04:51,460 --> 00:04:53,460 from the Buddha. 79 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,560 Dalai Lama is a manifestation of very special, dedicated 80 00:04:57,660 --> 00:05:02,500 compassion Buddha manifested for Tibet. 81 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,540 The great Tibetan thinkers strongly believe, 82 00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:07,720 along with the rest of the population, 83 00:05:07,820 --> 00:05:14,180 that this is in fact the 74th incarnation of the Chenretzi. 84 00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:17,720 And it is a continuation of the Buddha himself. 85 00:05:17,820 --> 00:05:20,460 So the current Dalai Lama is a continuation 86 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,760 of this great energy. 87 00:05:23,860 --> 00:05:28,860 Islam has all these great personalities lived in Tibet. 88 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,600 So perhaps there is something to be learned 89 00:05:31,700 --> 00:05:34,060 from these great masters in Tibet. 90 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,940 Having traveled into Tibet a number of times, 91 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,340 it really expands your mind. 92 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,840 And in many ways Tibet is that magical, mystical place 93 00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:48,340 where anything can happen. 94 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,480 Tibet not only stands at a crossroads 95 00:05:51,580 --> 00:05:55,320 of Eastern religious traditions, but is believed by many 96 00:05:55,420 --> 00:06:00,020 to be a place where heavenly beings actually reside on Earth. 97 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,860 It is said that this was the abode of the gods. 98 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,480 The Himalayan region is filled with stories 99 00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:14,360 of so-called celestial beings that descended from the sky 100 00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:18,900 in flying vehicles that they refer to as dragons 101 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,440 and flying furnaces. 102 00:06:22,540 --> 00:06:26,140 According to some of the earliest Sanskrit texts, 103 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:31,680 the first Buddha that ever walked the Earth was nine feet tall, 104 00:06:31,740 --> 00:06:34,940 had light blue skin, and his arms 105 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,240 reached all the way down to his knees. 106 00:06:38,340 --> 00:06:40,780 And there are multiple statues all 107 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,280 throughout that region of the world that 108 00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:47,320 depict exactly a Buddha like that. 109 00:06:47,420 --> 00:06:50,320 Tibetan, we believe that a lot of planets 110 00:06:50,420 --> 00:06:53,100 have a lot of human beings. 111 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,300 We are not necessarily what we call the human being in this world. 112 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,100 We believe some ancient aliens visit to this world. 113 00:07:02,100 --> 00:07:05,700 Visitation did happen, and this was something 114 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,600 that has remained in the consciousness of the local 115 00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:12,300 people over millennia. 116 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,480 The reason why this area of the world 117 00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:20,020 has become a religious center is because of the arrival 118 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,320 of the extraterrestrials. 119 00:07:22,420 --> 00:07:24,820 Is it possible that the culture of Tibet 120 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,720 was influenced by ancient alien visitors? 121 00:07:28,780 --> 00:07:32,180 And if so, could they still be present in this mountainous 122 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,380 region today? 123 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,260 According to both Hindu and Buddhist traditions, 124 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,020 the gods reside in a hidden kingdom in the Himalayas, 125 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,100 known as Shambhala. 126 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,240 Shambhala is a very important role in the Tibetan culture, 127 00:07:48,340 --> 00:07:51,300 and we believe it exists in this world. 128 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,640 Shambhala is ruled by kings who live for hundreds of years. 129 00:07:55,660 --> 00:07:59,740 They are all knowing, and they particularly 130 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:04,140 are guiding the planet very much as we often 131 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,980 think that extraterrestrials are doing. 132 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,040 They have wonderful technology. 133 00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:10,280 There's electricity. 134 00:08:10,380 --> 00:08:11,640 There's airships. 135 00:08:11,740 --> 00:08:13,680 So what is going on in Shambhala? 136 00:08:13,780 --> 00:08:16,720 Is it some mystical city of the masters 137 00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:20,660 where extraterrestrials and humans are living and working 138 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:21,920 together? 139 00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:23,960 I mean, that's what many people believe. 140 00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:27,980 Is the lost kingdom of Shambhala really a secret city 141 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,660 of advanced extraterrestrial beings, 142 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,060 as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest? 143 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,700 And if so, might evidence of its alien origin 144 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,400 be found somewhere in Tibet? 145 00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:44,600 Perhaps clues can be found in one legendary expedition 146 00:08:44,700 --> 00:08:47,040 into the very heart of the unknown. 147 00:08:54,020 --> 00:08:58,420 Tibet, summer, 1927. 148 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,720 Russian painter, philosopher, and archaeologist, 149 00:09:01,820 --> 00:09:05,860 Nicholas Rorick, embarks on an unprecedented expedition 150 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,500 into the uncharted territory of the Tibetan Plateau 151 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,940 on a quest to find the lost kingdom of Shambhala. 152 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,040 On August 5, 1927, Rorick notes a strange object 153 00:09:19,140 --> 00:09:21,880 in the skies while traveling through the mountains 154 00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,180 along the northeastern border of Tibet. 155 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,640 Rorick writes that they were looking up at the sky, 156 00:09:27,740 --> 00:09:29,780 watching an eagle fly around. 157 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,680 And then suddenly they saw a sort of oval-shaped object 158 00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:37,220 moving from north to south. 159 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,660 Very fast speeds pass over them. 160 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,960 And one of his later lectures in 1935, 161 00:09:43,060 --> 00:09:45,500 Nicholas Rorick described his sighting 162 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,360 as a spacecraft or an aerial vehicle that 163 00:09:49,420 --> 00:09:51,580 must have come from Shambhala itself. 164 00:09:55,220 --> 00:09:58,760 Did Nicholas Rorick witness an alien craft in Tibet 165 00:09:58,860 --> 00:10:02,960 nearly a century ago, decades before the era of modern UFO 166 00:10:03,060 --> 00:10:05,360 sightings began? 167 00:10:05,460 --> 00:10:09,400 And if so, is it possible that the traditions that have endured 168 00:10:09,500 --> 00:10:14,140 here for centuries reflect not only a profound spirituality, 169 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,340 but are tied to an otherworldly presence? 170 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,540 Perhaps further clues can be found 171 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,700 by examining an early Buddhist civilization that suddenly 172 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,700 and mysteriously disappeared. 173 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:37,580 In Gariprifecture, Tibet, 2020, towering at over 12,000 feet, 174 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,480 these ancient ruins are all that is 175 00:10:39,580 --> 00:10:43,120 left of the mysterious Buddhist kingdom of Gugge. 176 00:10:43,220 --> 00:10:46,360 Established in the 10th century, this civilization 177 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,460 flourished for 700 years. 178 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,220 But then, according to local legend, 179 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,560 its inhabitants vanished. 180 00:10:56,660 --> 00:11:00,160 The ruins of this early city are truly amazing. 181 00:11:00,260 --> 00:11:02,600 They're in the southwest corner of Tibet. 182 00:11:02,700 --> 00:11:07,140 And there are thousands of what were temples and palaces, 183 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,440 mostly gone now. 184 00:11:10,540 --> 00:11:14,480 This was a kingdom of great influence in its time. 185 00:11:14,540 --> 00:11:18,700 This magnificent capital had artwork over all the walls, 186 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,780 images of the Buddha, sacred carvings, 187 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,380 and images of all kind. 188 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:23,440 It had power. 189 00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:24,380 It had glory. 190 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,280 And now, it is nothing. 191 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,080 Gugge was in continuous operation 192 00:11:31,180 --> 00:11:34,820 until it mysteriously virtually disappeared. 193 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,720 Nobody knows exactly what happened there 194 00:11:36,820 --> 00:11:41,160 or why people stopped living there or where they went. 195 00:11:41,260 --> 00:11:44,360 Gugge was brought under the rule of the central government 196 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:49,360 in 1680, but remained largely isolated and independent 197 00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:52,060 for more than 200 years. 198 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,440 Then, in the early 20th century, the Tibetan government 199 00:11:56,540 --> 00:12:00,740 decided to finally start taxing the residents of Gugge. 200 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,140 But when soldiers arrived to collect, 201 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,780 they were shocked to find that the entire population, 202 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:12,980 an estimated 100,000 people, had disappeared. 203 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,480 Where they went remains a complete mystery. 204 00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:19,040 And many Tibetans believe the reason why 205 00:12:19,140 --> 00:12:24,380 is because the people of Gugge traveled deep underground. 206 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,080 The fortress of Gugge had all kinds of tunnels and hidden 207 00:12:29,180 --> 00:12:31,780 staircases that went underground and went 208 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,420 inside this mountain. 209 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,720 So even though it was ruins already, 210 00:12:36,820 --> 00:12:38,560 when archeologists went there, they 211 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,740 were astounded that this city of Gugge apparently 212 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,640 led inside the Earth. 213 00:12:45,740 --> 00:12:47,640 What people seemed to believe was that if you 214 00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:51,440 were to follow these tunnels far enough into the Earth, 215 00:12:51,540 --> 00:12:55,880 you would eventually come to that hidden city of Shambhala, 216 00:12:55,980 --> 00:13:01,220 an active city full of light and power. 217 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,860 Did the people of this ancient civilization 218 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,800 flee underground on an epic pilgrimage 219 00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,040 to the mythic kingdom of Shambhala? 220 00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:14,040 And if so, where did their path lead? 221 00:13:14,140 --> 00:13:17,380 Some researchers believe the tunnels of Gugge 222 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,680 lead to a holy mountain to the east 223 00:13:19,780 --> 00:13:26,360 that can be clearly seen from these ruins, Mount Kailash. 224 00:13:26,460 --> 00:13:28,660 Every year, thousands of pilgrims 225 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,460 make the treacherous journey to the base of this sacred peak. 226 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,860 Every year, there are pilgrimages around Mount Kailash 227 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,300 in order to gain the blessing and maybe even some 228 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,400 of the powers associated with the residing gods and Buddhas 229 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:47,700 and deities of Mount Kailash. 230 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,700 It lasts up to four weeks if it's done correctly 231 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,480 with full prostrations at every step. 232 00:13:54,580 --> 00:13:57,980 And it's also a very unforgiving landscape. 233 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,420 So many people end up giving up, and some of them 234 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:02,520 also end up dying. 235 00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:08,620 According to ancient Buddhist texts known as the Kalakakra 236 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,600 Tantra, the kingdom of Shambhala can be found behind Mount 237 00:14:12,700 --> 00:14:17,340 Kailash or, as some interpret it, within. 238 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,100 And many who have stared up at this sacred peak 239 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,740 have observed mysterious objects in the sky. 240 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,320 Mount Kailash is at the center of all sorts of mysteries. 241 00:14:30,380 --> 00:14:34,220 UFO sightings, the hint that there might be something hidden 242 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,220 there, but it's unknowable. 243 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,520 There are many myths and legends and strange things 244 00:14:40,620 --> 00:14:42,220 that have gone on at Mount Kailash. 245 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,620 People go there on pilgrimages, but they're 246 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,720 told not to stay there long because there's something 247 00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:48,760 radioactive inside the mountain. 248 00:14:48,860 --> 00:14:50,560 And we're told that people live there 249 00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:54,600 both in physical form and in non-physical form. 250 00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:58,940 It has to be one of the strangest places on the planet. 251 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,060 Is it possible that the mysterious phenomena occurring 252 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,140 at Mount Kailash and its association with Shambhala 253 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,640 is connected to extraterrestrial activity? 254 00:15:10,740 --> 00:15:13,040 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 255 00:15:13,140 --> 00:15:16,780 answers can be found by studying the sacred Buddhist monuments 256 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,980 known as stupas found all throughout Nepal, India, 257 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:26,220 and Tibet, including at the ruins of Gugge. 258 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,840 For centuries, people have been citing UFOs or unexplained 259 00:15:29,940 --> 00:15:32,520 craft coming in and out of Mount Kailash. 260 00:15:32,620 --> 00:15:33,680 And it's very interesting when you 261 00:15:33,780 --> 00:15:36,920 compare the shape of the stupas that we find in Tibet 262 00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:41,720 with these dome shapes and how they highly resemble some kind 263 00:15:41,820 --> 00:15:44,660 of extraterrestrial craft sitting on the ground. 264 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,320 So perhaps people saw these craft entering into Kailash 265 00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:51,260 and decided we're going to build stupas in remembrance 266 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,860 of what they saw. 267 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,400 A stupa by definition is a vehicle with which 268 00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:00,100 to reach the realm of the gods. 269 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,300 That is the definition of a stupa. 270 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,740 Well, just change the wording of vehicle 271 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,880 with which to reach space. 272 00:16:08,980 --> 00:16:12,040 These stupas can be seen, for example, 273 00:16:12,140 --> 00:16:15,780 in Yajanta Cave with smoke and fire at the bottom. 274 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,580 What more do you want? 275 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,320 It's no longer a symbol. 276 00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:21,160 It is the truth. 277 00:16:21,260 --> 00:16:23,520 Might the Buddhist stupas of Tibet 278 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,460 be monuments to alien craft witnessed flying in and around 279 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,460 Mount Kailash, a site believed by many to be the kingdom 280 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,260 of Shambhala? 281 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,360 And if so, how has it remained hidden for millennia? 282 00:16:38,460 --> 00:16:41,660 Could it be that somewhere on the slopes of Mount Kailash 283 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,380 is the entrance to a hidden extraterrestrial realm? 284 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,740 While countless expeditions have tried and failed 285 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,220 to find the legendary kingdom of Shambhala, 286 00:16:53,220 --> 00:16:56,680 there are some who claim to have found a way to communicate 287 00:16:56,780 --> 00:16:58,820 with its otherworldly inhabitants. 288 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,300 London, 1888. 289 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,500 Famed Russian mystic and philosopher 290 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,040 Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky 291 00:17:15,140 --> 00:17:19,600 publishes her seminal book, The Secret Doctrine. 292 00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:22,180 In it, she offers detailed descriptions 293 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:27,280 of the legendary lost continents of Atlantis and Lemuria. 294 00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:31,480 She claims not only that these ancient civilizations existed, 295 00:17:31,580 --> 00:17:34,880 but that they possessed highly advanced technology, 296 00:17:34,980 --> 00:17:39,580 including flying machines thousands of years ago. 297 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:44,120 Madame Blavatsky maintained that human lineage is vastly 298 00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:48,800 older than we understand, and that primordial civilizations 299 00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:53,720 like Atlantis or Lemuria form the foundation of human history 300 00:17:53,820 --> 00:17:56,660 and were much older than Egyptian culture, 301 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,600 than Vedic culture, than any culture known to humanity. 302 00:18:01,700 --> 00:18:04,300 This, to her, was in a cult history 303 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,700 that humankind had forgotten about, had failed to understand. 304 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,340 Atlantis, we know, goes back to Plato. 305 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,280 He's the first one to really talk about it. 306 00:18:14,380 --> 00:18:17,620 And both Atlantis and Lemuria, at some point, 307 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,980 they sort of turned dark. 308 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,780 They became fascinated with the kind of form of black magic 309 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,480 and the kind of hyper technology, 310 00:18:25,580 --> 00:18:28,580 and this led to their demise. 311 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,760 Madame Blavatsky claimed she received this knowledge 312 00:18:31,860 --> 00:18:35,660 from a mysterious entity she described as a Mahatma, 313 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,860 a Sanskrit word that means great soul. 314 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,300 He called himself Kutumi and resided in Tibet. 315 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,100 Kutumi communicated with her telepathically 316 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,760 in other words, she kind of channeled him. 317 00:18:49,860 --> 00:18:54,300 The way she described him is almost like an eternal Baba, 318 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,600 eternal soul, so he is immortal. 319 00:18:58,700 --> 00:19:02,200 Also, he was able to manifest himself in her apartment 320 00:19:02,300 --> 00:19:05,180 in New York City, even though it was thousands of miles away. 321 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,180 We have to question what was going on here. 322 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,180 Was she somehow in contact with some kind of hidden world 323 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,480 in the Himalayas? 324 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:22,540 In 1875, Madame Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society. 325 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,840 It was made up of prominent thinkers 326 00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:28,080 who sought to explore Eastern religions and the occult 327 00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:30,680 and create a kind of universal brotherhood 328 00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:35,620 based on the teachings of Kutumi and other Mahatmas. 329 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,560 Theosophy means the wisdom of the gods. 330 00:19:38,660 --> 00:19:42,660 Theosophical Society was incredibly successful 331 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,360 and popular and influential. 332 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:47,760 Not only in the occult world, but she was also 333 00:19:47,860 --> 00:19:50,020 influential in the cultural world. 334 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:54,120 People like the painter Mondrian and Vasily Kandinsky 335 00:19:54,220 --> 00:19:56,260 were early Theosophists. 336 00:19:56,360 --> 00:19:58,500 L. Frank Baum, who wrote the Oz books, 337 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,160 Avenue Doubleday, who invented baseball, Thomas Sedeson, 338 00:20:02,260 --> 00:20:03,440 invented the light bulb. 339 00:20:03,540 --> 00:20:04,740 These were all very early members 340 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,440 of the Theosophical Society. 341 00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:11,580 While many important figures joined the Theosophical Society, 342 00:20:12,380 --> 00:20:15,480 Madame Blavatsky had a particularly profound influence 343 00:20:15,580 --> 00:20:19,980 on a young Indian law student who came to visit her in London. 344 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,680 Mohandas Gandhi. 345 00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:25,180 Gandhi wrote about this as one of the pivotal encounters 346 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,720 of his life. 347 00:20:27,820 --> 00:20:30,800 He maintained that Madame Blavatsky gave him 348 00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:34,460 the first sense of universal brotherhood 349 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:39,440 that later came to form the core of his philosophy, 350 00:20:39,500 --> 00:20:44,200 not only of radical equality, but of radical nonviolence. 351 00:20:44,300 --> 00:20:45,800 Now, this is quite astonishing when 352 00:20:45,900 --> 00:20:49,940 we think about the potential here that perhaps an entity, 353 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:51,980 this strange Tibetan entity that's 354 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,340 making psychological contact with Blavatsky, 355 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,380 has now reached out to someone who would go on 356 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,880 to be one of the most famous persons in history 357 00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:02,560 and would have made this radical change in India that 358 00:21:02,660 --> 00:21:05,320 would really shock the world and change the face 359 00:21:05,420 --> 00:21:07,660 of the British Empire. 360 00:21:07,780 --> 00:21:10,160 Was Gandhi's transformative leadership 361 00:21:10,260 --> 00:21:12,820 and Indian independence, in part, 362 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,260 a result of influence from these mysterious enlightened 363 00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:18,660 masters in Tibet? 364 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,260 And if so, who were these so-called Mohandmas? 365 00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:25,900 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer 366 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,540 can be found by examining an encounter 367 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,800 with a similar entity. 368 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,540 New York City, 1918. 369 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:40,840 British occultist and writer Alastair Crawley 370 00:21:40,940 --> 00:21:46,580 engages in a magic ritual he calls the Amalantra Working. 371 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,980 He claims the ritual opens an interdimensional portal, 372 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,560 allowing him to interact with an otherworldly being. 373 00:21:54,660 --> 00:21:58,160 Alastair Crawley is probably the most famous or rather 374 00:21:58,180 --> 00:22:02,920 infamous magician of the 20th century, 375 00:22:03,020 --> 00:22:06,720 and Crawley took it upon himself to revive the ancient black 376 00:22:06,820 --> 00:22:08,260 arts, the dark arts, as it were. 377 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,860 He was contacting lots of different beings 378 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,300 from other dimensions. 379 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,300 But there was also a vision Crawley 380 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,540 had of this individual, this entity that he called Laan. 381 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,880 According to Crawley, this entity 382 00:22:24,980 --> 00:22:27,640 claimed to reside high in the mountains of Tibet. 383 00:22:28,340 --> 00:22:31,260 Just like the Mahatma that Madame Blavatsky said 384 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,700 she encountered. 385 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,340 Laan claimed to be a Tibetan master of wisdom, 386 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,540 somewhat in the footsteps of some of the figures 387 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,480 that Madame Blavatsky had been in touch with. 388 00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:46,720 And he was a kind of mystical or otherworldly 389 00:22:46,820 --> 00:22:50,720 adept in his own description, according to Crawley. 390 00:22:50,820 --> 00:22:53,820 Alastair Crawley drew a sketch of this creature. 391 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,260 And if you look at this sketch, one thing 392 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,420 that hits you very forcibly, in fact, startlingly, 393 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,460 is the fact that this looks like a gray alien. 394 00:23:05,660 --> 00:23:09,660 More than 70% of alleged alien abductees describe 395 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,200 encountering what have become known as the grays or gray 396 00:23:13,300 --> 00:23:13,800 aliens. 397 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,300 Is it possible that there is a connection between these beings 398 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,640 and the Tibetan masters that both Alastair 399 00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:27,600 Crawley and Madame Blavatsky claimed to have contacted? 400 00:23:27,700 --> 00:23:30,700 And if so, does this suggest that there 401 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:35,240 is a hidden extraterrestrial realm within Tibet? 402 00:23:35,340 --> 00:23:38,040 Some ancient astronaut theorists believe 403 00:23:38,140 --> 00:23:41,280 that physical proof of an alien presence in Tibet 404 00:23:41,380 --> 00:23:45,120 was uncovered more than 80 years ago 405 00:23:45,220 --> 00:23:47,660 by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. 406 00:23:53,640 --> 00:24:00,300 Tista River Valley, India, May 1938, 407 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,640 roughly one year before the start of the Second World War. 408 00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:07,680 German explorer and zoologist Ernst Schaefer 409 00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:11,880 leads a Nazi-funded expedition into Tibet. 410 00:24:11,980 --> 00:24:14,680 Schaefer's official objective for the expedition 411 00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:18,820 was the creation of a complete scientific record of Tibet. 412 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,260 But unofficially, he was given another direction. 413 00:24:23,180 --> 00:24:27,420 To determine whether Tibet was the cradle of the Aryan race, 414 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,360 this was allegedly inspired by a 19th century book written 415 00:24:31,460 --> 00:24:34,260 by British author Edward Bollward-Lytton called 416 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:38,960 Vril, the Power of the Coming Race. 417 00:24:39,060 --> 00:24:43,200 He describes this extraordinary race of beings 418 00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:48,640 that have magical powers, sort of superheroes, really. 419 00:24:49,140 --> 00:24:51,300 And that they have the Vril power. 420 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,900 And sadly, this idea also permeated 421 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:03,440 into the very early Nazi ideologues, Worldview. 422 00:25:03,540 --> 00:25:06,940 The idea that a man can be a superman, 423 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,640 and in order to do this in their eyes, 424 00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:13,180 you have to be of the Aryan race. 425 00:25:13,220 --> 00:25:17,220 Some within the Nazis ranks identified the Tibetan Mahatmas, 426 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:22,020 described by Madame Blavatsky, as a race of supermen, 427 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:26,520 and sought to prove that the Aryans were their descendants. 428 00:25:26,620 --> 00:25:29,420 But even more important to the German expedition 429 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,820 than proving Nazi superiority was finding 430 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,060 the hidden kingdom of Shambhala. 431 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,060 The Nazis took an incredible interest in the war. 432 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,560 The Nazis took an incredible interest 433 00:25:43,660 --> 00:25:47,020 in looking for that entrance to Shambhala. 434 00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:50,120 The Nazis were almost certainly influenced 435 00:25:50,220 --> 00:25:53,060 by the works of Madame Blavatsky, 436 00:25:53,160 --> 00:26:01,760 because she said if somebody could find access into Shambhala, 437 00:26:01,860 --> 00:26:04,300 they would also be able to control 438 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,200 the destiny of humanity and the world as a whole. 439 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,600 While they were there, the war broke out in 1939, 440 00:26:13,700 --> 00:26:15,100 so they were called back. 441 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,740 So they didn't really return with any positive proof 442 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,540 about what they were looking for, 443 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,340 but the story is they did come back with this statue. 444 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,040 Among the items Schaefer brought back to Germany 445 00:26:27,140 --> 00:26:31,480 was a mysterious 22-pound iron statue of what was presumed 446 00:26:31,580 --> 00:26:34,380 to be a Buddhist deity. 447 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,380 The figure had a swastika on its clothing, 448 00:26:38,300 --> 00:26:41,240 a symbol of divinity that predated the Nazis 449 00:26:41,340 --> 00:26:45,040 by thousands of years. 450 00:26:45,140 --> 00:26:48,420 One of their discoveries was a little nine-inch statue 451 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,920 of a being wearing a swastika on his chest, 452 00:26:53,020 --> 00:26:55,180 which certainly would have got the attention of the Nazis 453 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,860 having adopted the swastika as their symbol, 454 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,760 although they put it into its counterclockwise form. 455 00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:03,860 The swastika was originally a Tibetan symbol 456 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,760 for prosperity and for good luck. 457 00:27:07,260 --> 00:27:09,920 In the late 19th century, the term Aryan 458 00:27:10,020 --> 00:27:12,720 referred to an Indo-European language group 459 00:27:12,820 --> 00:27:17,420 that included German, Romance, and Sanskrit languages. 460 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,500 The ancient symbol of the swastika 461 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,300 became associated with Aryan due to where it was found. 462 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,500 But when the Nazis redefined the term 463 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,540 to identify what they called the master race, 464 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,140 they adopted the swastika as a symbol of their heritage 465 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,340 and self-proclaimed superiority. 466 00:27:37,100 --> 00:27:40,260 We can assume that this is what stood out to them, 467 00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:44,500 was this swastika emblazoned on the chest. 468 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,240 And they decided that this is a representation 469 00:27:47,340 --> 00:27:49,880 of one of these entities that are somehow involved 470 00:27:49,980 --> 00:27:52,180 in the backstory of the Aryan race 471 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,180 and their sort of greatness in the world. 472 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,680 Could the Iron Man statue depict 473 00:27:57,780 --> 00:28:02,760 one of the powerful Mahatmas described by Madame Blavatsky? 474 00:28:02,860 --> 00:28:05,820 Was it perhaps a sign that the Nazi expedition 475 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,440 was close to finding Shambhala? 476 00:28:09,540 --> 00:28:12,180 While most researchers have been preoccupied 477 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,480 with determining what the statue is meant to depict, 478 00:28:15,580 --> 00:28:20,020 80 years after its discovery, a scientific study uncovered 479 00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:23,120 an even more intriguing aspect of the Iron Man. 480 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,520 Stuttgart University, 2012. 481 00:28:31,620 --> 00:28:34,120 A team of German geologists that have performed 482 00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:37,080 a new examination of the Iron Man statue, 483 00:28:37,180 --> 00:28:40,020 published their analysis in the scientific journal, 484 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,620 Meteorics and Planetary Science. 485 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,320 They estimate the figure was created in the 11th century 486 00:28:47,420 --> 00:28:50,360 and have found that it was not made of earthly iron 487 00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:53,960 but was carved from the Chingam meteorite. 488 00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:56,900 It turns out this thing is made from one 489 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:01,400 of the rarest meteorites in human history. 490 00:29:01,660 --> 00:29:07,260 It fell to Earth over Tibet around 15,000 years ago. 491 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:14,500 It's the most unusual and hardest meteorite ever discovered. 492 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,700 The ancient Tibetans who carved this into a statue 493 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,980 clearly suspected that this thing had great power. 494 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,680 The Tibetans themselves seem to realize 495 00:29:26,780 --> 00:29:28,480 that this was special. 496 00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:31,240 And you have to wonder, is this meteorite, 497 00:29:31,340 --> 00:29:35,680 was it perhaps part of a spaceship? 498 00:29:35,780 --> 00:29:39,440 Something that had crashed there into Tibet 499 00:29:39,540 --> 00:29:41,980 and the Chingam meteorite is all that's left of it? 500 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,620 Is it possible that the Iron Man statue was made from part 501 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,260 of an alien craft that crash landed on Earth thousands 502 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,560 of years ago? 503 00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:56,860 Could it be a remnant of an event that 504 00:29:56,940 --> 00:30:00,000 marked the arrival of otherworldly visitors 505 00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:04,200 and the beginning of the legend of Shambhala? 506 00:30:04,300 --> 00:30:07,080 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 507 00:30:07,180 --> 00:30:10,280 and suggest that the reason this alien realm remains 508 00:30:10,380 --> 00:30:13,820 so elusive can be found by examining stories 509 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,180 of a Tibetan monster known as the Yeti. 510 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,220 Mount Makalu, Nepal. 511 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,320 April 29, 2019. 512 00:30:29,420 --> 00:30:32,320 Just a few miles south of the Tibetan border, 513 00:30:32,420 --> 00:30:34,860 the Indian army reports the discovery 514 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,800 of enormous footprints in the snow, 515 00:30:37,900 --> 00:30:43,700 measuring an astounding 32 inches long by 15 inches wide. 516 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,500 They identify the footprints as having been made 517 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,840 by the legendary monster known as the Yeti. 518 00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:54,520 The Yeti is some kind of a Himalayan monster. 519 00:30:54,540 --> 00:30:55,820 That looked like a man. 520 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,480 That looked like an ape. 521 00:30:57,580 --> 00:31:01,220 This is a composite figure. 522 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,420 Local people have seen it in the snow, in the mountains. 523 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,060 Tales of the Yeti stretch back to pre-Buddhist Tibet, 524 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,000 where the shamanic mystics of the Bonn religion told 525 00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:16,200 of wild men that guarded a hidden place of power 526 00:31:16,300 --> 00:31:20,640 and perfection called Oma Long Ring, known in the Tibetan 527 00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:23,640 Buddhist tradition as Shambhala. 528 00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:26,540 The Yeti have this reputation of being extremely violent 529 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,540 and aggressive towards humans. 530 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,540 And one explanation for this is because they're 531 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,740 considered to be the guardians of Shambhala, 532 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,040 keeping away all those that are not pure of heart 533 00:31:37,140 --> 00:31:40,620 from entering into this holiest of holy places. 534 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,720 When the early British expeditions 535 00:31:42,820 --> 00:31:45,120 went through India into Tibet, they 536 00:31:45,220 --> 00:31:47,120 would stomp at Tibetan monasteries 537 00:31:47,220 --> 00:31:48,660 on their way to Mount Everest, and they 538 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,860 would be told about Yetis. 539 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:55,360 And that Yetis were guardians of the entrances to Shambhala. 540 00:31:55,460 --> 00:31:59,860 Monsters guarding the entrances to the land of the gods? 541 00:31:59,960 --> 00:32:03,000 While it may sound like the stuff of legend, 542 00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,260 ancient astronaut theorists suggest 543 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,640 there is disturbing evidence that may prove such stories are, 544 00:32:08,740 --> 00:32:10,680 in fact, very real. 545 00:32:13,540 --> 00:32:17,440 Atarakan, India. 546 00:32:17,500 --> 00:32:21,700 16,000 feet high in the Himalayas, just 40 miles 547 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,600 from the Tibetan border lies Rup Kund Lake. 548 00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:28,940 While it has become a popular tourist destination, 549 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,940 those who approach this small picturesque body of water 550 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,740 are confronted with a chilling sight, 551 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,680 because Rup Kund Lake is littered with the remains 552 00:32:37,780 --> 00:32:40,080 of over 600 human bodies. 553 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,920 For decades, scientists assumed that the dead 554 00:32:46,980 --> 00:32:51,220 had fallen victim to a single massive catastrophe. 555 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,420 But in 2019, DNA sampling revealed 556 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,840 that the bodies contained in what has been dubbed 557 00:32:57,940 --> 00:33:01,260 Skeleton Lake did not all die at once, 558 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,640 but at different points in time over a period of at least 1,000 559 00:33:05,740 --> 00:33:07,540 years. 560 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,840 Some of the skeletons had what they said 561 00:33:10,940 --> 00:33:16,140 were unhealed compression fractures on the head. 562 00:33:16,940 --> 00:33:20,440 Were they murdered by being hammered on the head 563 00:33:20,540 --> 00:33:23,100 and then thrown into this lake? 564 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,880 So researchers were baffled by this whole thing. 565 00:33:25,980 --> 00:33:28,440 And the more information that came out of this lake, 566 00:33:28,540 --> 00:33:31,720 the stranger it became. 567 00:33:31,820 --> 00:33:37,420 Recently, Indian scientists have performed DNA testing 568 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,560 on those bones in the Rup Kund. 569 00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:45,560 They have found many South Asians and some East Asians. 570 00:33:46,060 --> 00:33:48,360 Meaning Chinese and Koreans. 571 00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:52,160 And of course, some from the West, for example, 572 00:33:52,260 --> 00:33:53,960 the Mediterranean region. 573 00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:57,860 So that is really intriguing, how these people wound up 574 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,300 there. 575 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,500 That's baffling. 576 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,340 What could have drawn people from all over the world 577 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,780 to make the treacherous journey to this very small and remote 578 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,680 mountain lake? 579 00:34:09,780 --> 00:34:12,280 And not just at a single point in time, 580 00:34:12,380 --> 00:34:15,180 but continuously for hundreds of years. 581 00:34:16,100 --> 00:34:20,880 Rup Kund Lake is on the Pilgrims Trail to Mount Kalash, 582 00:34:20,980 --> 00:34:28,680 which is one of the central geographic sites in Hindu 583 00:34:28,780 --> 00:34:31,520 and Tibetan and Buddhist religion. 584 00:34:31,620 --> 00:34:34,060 These people at different times could have been 585 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,860 on the pilgrimage path. 586 00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:40,060 If the Yeti is considered to be the guardian of Shambhala, 587 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,140 and if Shambhala is Kalash, then it makes perfect sense 588 00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,260 why the Yeti is somehow taking these people, 589 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,000 killing them, harming them, and throwing them in Skeleton Lake. 590 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,940 Could the bones found at Skeleton Lake 591 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,780 belong to pilgrims who were seeking Shambhala and fell 592 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,120 victim to the Yeti? 593 00:35:00,220 --> 00:35:02,380 Although there have been numerous reported sightings 594 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,920 of Yetis in Tibet, no reliable physical proof of their existence 595 00:35:07,020 --> 00:35:10,060 has been successfully retrieved. 596 00:35:11,060 --> 00:35:15,260 In fact, these mysterious beings are often reported as simply 597 00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,960 banishing into thin air. 598 00:35:19,060 --> 00:35:23,600 In 1951, the world famous Mountaineer Eric Shipton 599 00:35:23,700 --> 00:35:24,960 was on his way to Mount Everest. 600 00:35:25,060 --> 00:35:27,540 He's at 19,000 feet. 601 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:31,040 And all of a sudden, he sees these giant footprints 602 00:35:31,140 --> 00:35:32,640 in the snow. 603 00:35:32,740 --> 00:35:34,880 And he follows them for over a mile 604 00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:37,720 until they disappear into the glacier. 605 00:35:37,780 --> 00:35:40,540 The Yeti could, in fact, be an interdimensional creature 606 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,980 capable of either cloaking itself or disappearing 607 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:45,580 into other realms. 608 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,060 Perhaps they are not physical biological beings, 609 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,220 but are some sort of interdimensional class 610 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,500 of entities which is able to appear and disappear at will 611 00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,800 and manifest themselves at will to stop those who are not 612 00:35:58,900 --> 00:36:02,040 supposed to enter certain areas. 613 00:36:02,140 --> 00:36:05,780 Is it possible that both the Yeti and the kingdom of Shambhala 614 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,680 that it is said to protect are not only extraterrestrial, 615 00:36:09,780 --> 00:36:13,180 but also interdimensional? 616 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,380 Might this explain why they remain so elusive? 617 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,220 Some modern researchers, people like Jacques Valais, 618 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,360 John Keel, amongst others, have drawn the conclusion 619 00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:26,900 that maybe we're not really dealing 620 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,800 with extraterrestrials from outer space, 621 00:36:30,860 --> 00:36:38,000 but ultra-terrestrials were coming from parallel space. 622 00:36:38,100 --> 00:36:42,000 That's exactly what masters of mysticism and experiences 623 00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:43,400 of the prophetic traditions have been saying 624 00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:46,500 for thousands of years. 625 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,980 If a gateway leading into another dimension 626 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,580 exists somewhere in Tibet, as ancient astronaut theorists 627 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,620 suggest, could it be a site where extraterrestrials, 628 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:00,520 or perhaps ultra-terrestrials, are entering our world 629 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:06,580 and might it also be possible for us to enter theirs? 630 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,020 Ancient astronaut theorists believe 631 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,260 that the key to accessing this cosmic paradise 632 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,100 may not lie in traveling to a secret location in Tibet, 633 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,760 but in mastering an ancient technique of the mind. 634 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:27,760 Seta County, China, December 11, 2015. 635 00:37:27,860 --> 00:37:31,000 In the southeast region of the Tibetan Plateau, 636 00:37:31,100 --> 00:37:34,140 renowned Tibetan Buddhist monk Lama Thupser 637 00:37:34,240 --> 00:37:37,000 has been in a state of continuous meditation 638 00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:41,740 for seven straight days, engaged in a practice that 639 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,480 is said to go back some 10,000 years. 640 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,780 He is attempting to attain what is known as the rainbow-like body. 641 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:54,180 Tibetan Buddhists believe that through meditation practices 642 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:59,180 like this, it is possible to access alternate realms, 643 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,560 and that this may be where the kingdom of Shambhala truly 644 00:38:02,660 --> 00:38:06,200 exists. 645 00:38:06,300 --> 00:38:09,800 You will find people within Tibetan Buddhist tradition 646 00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:12,860 who have been in the world for a long time. 647 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,720 You will find people within Tibetan Buddhist tradition 648 00:38:16,820 --> 00:38:20,520 who believe that Shambhala is an actual place, 649 00:38:20,620 --> 00:38:25,460 but it may be what we might call an interdimensional place. 650 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,800 So it cannot be accessed through ordinary material 651 00:38:28,900 --> 00:38:34,600 techniques, but it exists in another dimension, so to speak. 652 00:38:34,700 --> 00:38:38,280 Is it possible that the concept of the rainbow-like body 653 00:38:38,380 --> 00:38:40,980 holds the key to reaching an alien realm that 654 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,840 is not just a human body, but is it possible that it is? 655 00:38:44,940 --> 00:38:48,780 And is there any evidence that such a transformative process 656 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,480 could actually take place? 657 00:38:51,580 --> 00:38:53,820 Recently, scientists have discovered 658 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,160 that the human body, particularly in the brain, 659 00:38:57,260 --> 00:39:02,760 naturally produces light in the form of bio photons. 660 00:39:02,860 --> 00:39:08,200 The average person emits 14 to 20 photons 661 00:39:08,220 --> 00:39:12,100 per second, and this is very, very low. 662 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,700 But in a state of meditation, you 663 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:19,700 are able to raise that number by 100,000 photons 664 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,640 per centimeter square per second, 665 00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:24,940 which is extremely bright. 666 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,940 This tells us that when we are in a higher state of consciousness, 667 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,780 our bodies emit a huge amount of light. 668 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:36,260 And perhaps that is the reason why we call it enlightenment. 669 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,000 Tibetan Buddhists say that when a highly trained priest commits 670 00:39:43,100 --> 00:39:46,160 himself to attainment of the rainbow-like body, 671 00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:50,100 his material body will fade away. 672 00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,300 Photographs taken by those in attendance on the seventh day 673 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,940 of Lama Thupster's meditation provide an incredibly rare 674 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,340 documentation of this sacred process. 675 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,820 As his breathing stops and his physical body begins to die, 676 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,440 it dramatically decreases in size. 677 00:40:09,540 --> 00:40:14,180 According to the monks, he is dissolved into light, 678 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,820 and a final photograph reveals a beam of light shooting up 679 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:21,520 into the sky from the site of his transformation. 680 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:28,960 Tibetan, we believe they're left to then enlightenment 681 00:40:29,060 --> 00:40:32,060 or left to then a pure land. 682 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,200 We do transplant any other different elements 683 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,740 of the different universes, not only this earth. 684 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,380 In the Tibetan tradition, they tell us 685 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,240 that once a Lama has achieved this state of being, 686 00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:46,880 that they're able to then travel to 12 star systems 687 00:40:46,980 --> 00:40:49,640 where this teaching is taught that are all connected 688 00:40:49,740 --> 00:40:52,460 with the earth and that beings come and go. 689 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,660 Bringing this teaching and enlightening 690 00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,060 all other civilizations they come into contact with. 691 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,700 The rainbow-like body, it is an extraterrestrial teaching 692 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:06,440 that was imported to earth from other star systems. 693 00:41:06,540 --> 00:41:10,480 Right now, very few make the efforts 694 00:41:10,580 --> 00:41:13,280 to learn how to expand consciousness 695 00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:16,220 to interact with our parallel dimensions. 696 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:20,280 But the future is to bring the worlds together. 697 00:41:20,380 --> 00:41:23,400 This is what the biblical tradition teaches 698 00:41:23,500 --> 00:41:26,000 when it says everyone will know the truth. 699 00:41:26,100 --> 00:41:29,660 There will be enlightenment for all. 700 00:41:29,720 --> 00:41:33,000 Could it be that high in the mountains of Tibet, 701 00:41:33,100 --> 00:41:36,700 there is a gateway into another dimension? 702 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,800 And if so, is it possible that this alternate realm 703 00:41:40,900 --> 00:41:45,680 can only be accessed through a state of enlightenment? 704 00:41:45,780 --> 00:41:48,240 Perhaps as science begins to understand more 705 00:41:48,340 --> 00:41:51,320 about human consciousness, we will 706 00:41:51,420 --> 00:41:55,820 learn what the Tibetan masters have known for centuries 707 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,120 that we can reach the stars not only by mastering 708 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:05,020 technology, but by mastering the power of the human mind.
