1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,800 For centuries, Native Americans have kept alive 2 00:00:04,900 --> 00:00:07,800 some of the oldest traditions on Earth. 3 00:00:07,900 --> 00:00:11,580 Through oral history and sacred sites, 4 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,980 the story is told to indigenous people for thousands of years. 5 00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:21,080 Their incredible history is carved into the landscape. 6 00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:23,020 This is sensational. 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,160 Look at that guy right there. 8 00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:29,100 They represent those gods that came to Earth. 9 00:00:29,860 --> 00:00:34,200 And their sacred rituals display a reverence for the land 10 00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:38,000 and for the ancestors from the stars. 11 00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:42,600 They're the keepers of the upper world, which means space. 12 00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,680 We don't use the word gods. 13 00:00:44,780 --> 00:00:47,020 We use the word creator. 14 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,620 E palmen o wanee. 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,820 Do the stories of America's indigenous people 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,720 reveal a long history of contact with other worldly visitors? 17 00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:00,920 All Native American tribes have oral histories 18 00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:04,020 that people came from the stars to visit them. 19 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,320 I know they're out there. 20 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,600 There is a doorway in the universe. 21 00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:16,800 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 22 00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,600 It demands we question everything 23 00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:22,140 we have ever been taught. 24 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,540 The evidence is all around us. 25 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,440 The future is right before our eyes. 26 00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:32,400 We are not alone. 27 00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:34,980 We have never been alone. 28 00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:51,960 Collinsville, Illinois, 15 miles east of St. Louis. 29 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,960 Towering over the flat local terrain is Monks Mound, 30 00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:59,960 the remains of a massive earthen pyramid. 31 00:02:00,060 --> 00:02:02,460 Built more than 1,000 years ago, 32 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,960 it was the centerpiece of the ancient Native American city 33 00:02:06,060 --> 00:02:08,300 of Cahokia. 34 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,680 Monks Mound is the largest building 35 00:02:12,780 --> 00:02:17,180 of the ancient North America, north of Mexico. 36 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,080 It was called that because trappist French monks 37 00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:22,300 lived nearby it. 38 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240 It stands 100 feet tall today. 39 00:02:25,340 --> 00:02:28,380 It was probably taller in its heyday. 40 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:34,720 It comprises of about 22 million cubic feet of dirt, 41 00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:39,020 which was millions and millions of buckets of dirt 42 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720 brought in one at a time. 43 00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:44,920 Its circumference on the bottom is larger 44 00:02:45,020 --> 00:02:48,960 than the temple of the sun just north of Mexico City. 45 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,080 Monks Mound and other ancient ruins across the Americas 46 00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:58,180 offer clues about how Native people once lived 47 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,280 in vast, thriving communities. 48 00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:04,880 Yet very little is known about the inhabitants of Cahokia 49 00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:08,280 and many Native cultures, since most of their history 50 00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:11,660 and traditions were passed down orally rather than 51 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000 through written records. 52 00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:16,000 The Native Americans traditionally 53 00:03:16,100 --> 00:03:18,960 use a oral tradition. 54 00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:21,920 Everything is spoken. 55 00:03:22,020 --> 00:03:25,620 The oral traditions actually go back thousands of years. 56 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,420 It's just the way it was. 57 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,760 And we've maintained that tradition even to this day. 58 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:38,200 It is unknown what the Native Americans who inhabited Cahokia 59 00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:40,040 called themselves. 60 00:03:40,140 --> 00:03:44,140 Anthropologists refer to them as the Mississippians, 61 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,840 a name used to describe a wide variety of Native peoples 62 00:03:47,860 --> 00:03:53,140 that lived east of the Mississippi in North America. 63 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,900 And although much about Cahokia remains a mystery, 64 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,140 what is known is that it thrived centuries before Europeans 65 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,740 ever stepped foot in the Americas, 66 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,080 as did countless other cities. 67 00:04:07,180 --> 00:04:14,220 Around 1050, the city swells to a population of 15,000. 68 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,920 And including the satellite communities around it, 69 00:04:16,980 --> 00:04:20,780 almost 30,000, there were a number of these cities 70 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,780 all around the eastern part of what's now the United States. 71 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,920 The general picture of Native America before European contact 72 00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:33,760 is that it's some sort of just nomadic life 73 00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:38,660 that they were living in small bands and camps. 74 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,300 The truth is that there were thousands of people 75 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,540 living in the same place very much the way the Europeans were. 76 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,880 Across North America, vast differences 77 00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:52,980 existed between the Native peoples 78 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,720 in terms of language, customs, and cultural practices. 79 00:04:57,820 --> 00:05:00,320 Yet many tribes shared the tradition 80 00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:03,800 of worshiping a powerful being known as the Birdman. 81 00:05:06,300 --> 00:05:08,660 When excavations were performed at Cahokia 82 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:14,540 in the 20th century, this motif was found to be abundant. 83 00:05:15,540 --> 00:05:18,540 The most remarkable example was connected to the burial 84 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,700 of a man believed to have been an early Cahokian ruler. 85 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,700 His body had been placed on an elevated platform 86 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,100 covered by a bed of more than 20,000 marine shell disc 87 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,780 beads arranged in the shape of a falcon with the bird's head 88 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,880 appearing beneath and beside the man's head 89 00:05:36,980 --> 00:05:41,700 and its wings and tail beneath his arms and legs. 90 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200 The Birdman of Cahokia is a burial 91 00:05:44,300 --> 00:05:49,460 that was found under a mound in the center of the city. 92 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,900 And it's called the Birdman because there's 93 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,600 this arrangement of shells that appear to be 94 00:05:57,700 --> 00:05:59,940 in the shape of a bird. 95 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,740 And it makes sense because we know 96 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:07,660 that the Mississippians had a supernatural being who may or 97 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,860 may not be a god. 98 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:15,160 But he's a very powerful creature that lives up in the sky. 99 00:06:15,260 --> 00:06:19,360 We see depictions on also stone tablets. 100 00:06:22,660 --> 00:06:27,860 Native people believed in the N'Hour deity called the Birdman. 101 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,800 There are a number of depictions in the remains 102 00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:35,060 of these cultures of this powerful creature who could fly 103 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,400 and could move among the different realms 104 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:43,140 and was essentially the ruling god of this reality. 105 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,340 Various descriptions of the Birdman 106 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,840 can be found from one tradition to the next. 107 00:06:48,940 --> 00:06:52,000 And some also feature a similar celestial being 108 00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:55,140 called the Thunderbird. 109 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,240 The Thunderbird in Zuni is described 110 00:06:59,340 --> 00:07:05,540 as a being that came from the sky that could create lightning. 111 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,180 It could create a lot of noise. 112 00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:14,780 And it was represented as a being with wings made out 113 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,680 of knives. 114 00:07:16,780 --> 00:07:20,520 Now, the Thunderbird could have been a vehicle. 115 00:07:20,620 --> 00:07:25,360 But way back then, the Indians had no other reference. 116 00:07:25,460 --> 00:07:28,100 So they just said, by the way, it is a bird. 117 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,660 One could argue that this is a representation 118 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800 of misunderstood technology that could illustrate 119 00:07:33,900 --> 00:07:36,360 some type of a flying craft. 120 00:07:36,460 --> 00:07:41,400 Because if you don't have the terminology for a plane, 121 00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:45,700 well, of course, you're going to call it a bird. 122 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,740 I mean, pilots even today call their planes birds. 123 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,300 The Mount Bearlers, I believe, were 124 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,000 those Indians who were born in the United States. 125 00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:01,540 The Indian tribes that had contact 126 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,080 with the extraterrestrials, the teachers. 127 00:08:06,180 --> 00:08:09,940 The star ancestors taught the American Indians 128 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,780 about where they came from. 129 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,380 There are different star system constellations 130 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,180 and how they're supposed to carry out their rituals 131 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,600 by referring to their star system, whether it be 132 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:25,500 the Pleiades, whether it be the Milky Way, 133 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,980 whether it be the Big Dipper. 134 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,400 Our ancestors were in the cosmos. 135 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:36,280 We don't use the word gods. 136 00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:38,580 We use the word creator. 137 00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:40,800 Yipalmenowani. 138 00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:43,980 He who has no name and has all the names 139 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,380 is the eye that oversees everybody. 140 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,920 The creation story, if you understand it correctly, 141 00:08:51,020 --> 00:08:54,260 we are all from the cosmos. 142 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,760 Our ancestors were extraterrestrial. 143 00:08:58,860 --> 00:09:03,460 The story is told to indigenous people for thousands 144 00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:10,600 of years through oral history and through the petroglyphs 145 00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:14,520 and pictographs and the sacred sites that 146 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,580 continue to be part of our native cultural traditions. 147 00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:25,160 In talking about star people, all Native American tribes 148 00:09:25,260 --> 00:09:28,020 have these traditional oral histories 149 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,300 that people came from the stars to visit them. 150 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,700 And it's universal all across the United States 151 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,240 that these gods, as we call them today, came to Earth 152 00:09:39,340 --> 00:09:42,380 and visited to provide knowledge. 153 00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:46,980 The Cherokee talked about the star seeds 154 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,080 and the people coming from the sky, the Zunis and the Hopes 155 00:09:51,180 --> 00:09:53,080 talk about the star people coming 156 00:09:53,180 --> 00:09:58,720 and the Mississippi Mound people had the birdman culture. 157 00:09:58,820 --> 00:10:01,820 So here we have these cultures. 158 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,360 And their legends and lures are about star ancestors 159 00:10:06,460 --> 00:10:09,160 coming down, giving them information, 160 00:10:09,260 --> 00:10:11,700 showing them science and medicine. 161 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,600 Native American people happen very clear 162 00:10:15,700 --> 00:10:20,100 when they speak of celestial beings that imparted knowledge. 163 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,680 And if you compare that to the ancient astronaut theory, 164 00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:26,480 that's exactly what it talks about, 165 00:10:26,580 --> 00:10:31,520 that the knowledge was imparted by beings who visited us. 166 00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:37,960 Could the stories of the birdmen and star people 167 00:10:37,980 --> 00:10:41,260 provide an oral history of alien visitation 168 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,460 among early Native American tribes? 169 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:48,660 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and propose 170 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,660 that while the indigenous communities kept no written 171 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,740 records, a historical account of exactly what they encountered 172 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,040 can be found carved into the landscape 173 00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:01,480 at an ancient petroglyph site in Arizona. 174 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,060 In the American Southwest is a region 175 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,560 known as the Four Corners, where the boundaries of Arizona, 176 00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:20,260 New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah meet. 177 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,840 Most of this region belongs to semi-autonomous Native American 178 00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:32,840 nations, including the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, Yute, 179 00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:37,020 and dozens of other Native American peoples. 180 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,420 They are all thought to be descendants of people, 181 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:44,380 frequently called the ancestral pueblo, or anasazi. 182 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,360 The anasazi are the old ones, as we like to refer to them. 183 00:11:48,460 --> 00:11:53,000 We're here in the Four Corners region for thousands of years. 184 00:11:53,100 --> 00:11:59,500 And they suddenly, around 1070 AD, just up and disappear. 185 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,880 Their cities are abandoned, their structures, everything. 186 00:12:03,980 --> 00:12:05,580 Pottery is left. 187 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:06,840 They don't know what happened to them. 188 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:16,680 Archaeological evidence shows that between 1275 and 1300 AD, 189 00:12:16,780 --> 00:12:19,920 the Pueblo people stopped building entirely, 190 00:12:20,020 --> 00:12:23,220 and the land was left empty. 191 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,260 They were people that inhabited this Four Corners region 192 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,260 for thousands of years. 193 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,000 It's still a mystery today, and it's 194 00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:34,900 one of the big mysteries in the American Southwest. 195 00:12:36,580 --> 00:12:39,600 Similar to the Mississippian tribes to the east, 196 00:12:39,700 --> 00:12:43,440 the Pueblo nations also described contact with visitors 197 00:12:43,540 --> 00:12:47,380 from the stars, and performed rituals 198 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:52,520 to connect with sky beings called the Cachina. 199 00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:54,360 There were objects, we call them dolls, 200 00:12:54,460 --> 00:12:56,020 but they were sacred objects that 201 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,360 would be similar to the customs worn by the dancers 202 00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:04,460 and imagined to be the appearance of the celestial beings. 203 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,960 If you look at the Cachinas, there 204 00:13:07,060 --> 00:13:10,360 are so many different types, different headdresses, 205 00:13:10,460 --> 00:13:14,260 different feathers on them, different ways of painting them 206 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,960 to distinguish them one from another. 207 00:13:17,060 --> 00:13:21,640 And that tells me that there were a lot of different types 208 00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:26,880 of beings that were interacting with early natives, much more 209 00:13:26,980 --> 00:13:29,820 than we even think. 210 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,220 The Cachinas were their first teachers, 211 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,920 the ones that imparted the knowledge. 212 00:13:37,020 --> 00:13:39,720 I hope you are very clear in suggesting 213 00:13:39,820 --> 00:13:43,420 that the Cachinas were physical beings. 214 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,960 The Cachina is a representation of the actual gods 215 00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:53,700 that used to come into the villages eons ago. 216 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,040 Some of them are warriors. 217 00:13:56,140 --> 00:13:58,800 Most of them are priesthood type Cachinas, 218 00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:01,640 and they come from different parts. 219 00:14:01,660 --> 00:14:04,200 In my opinion, different parts of the universe, 220 00:14:04,300 --> 00:14:08,940 but they actually have certain places on this planet 221 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,840 that they call it home. 222 00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:14,640 Ours is west of here, and of course, a lot of other pueblos 223 00:14:14,740 --> 00:14:17,220 have their own specific place. 224 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,720 And even to this day, some of them are here. 225 00:14:21,820 --> 00:14:26,320 The story of strange, humanoid beings assisting native peoples 226 00:14:26,420 --> 00:14:30,620 has been recounted for centuries among the Pueblo nations, 227 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,740 not only is it a central part of their oral traditions. 228 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,520 These encounters were so significant, 229 00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:39,280 they were carved in stone. 230 00:14:41,820 --> 00:14:46,020 I believe that these visitations have been documented 231 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,600 in pictographs and petroglyphs. 232 00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:52,460 They're not art actually, for art's sake. 233 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,500 The petroglyphs have been done this way 234 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,800 for basically thousands of years. 235 00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:02,260 Do petroglyphs found throughout North America? 236 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,160 Tell a story of ancient extraterrestrial contact. 237 00:15:07,260 --> 00:15:11,440 In July 2021, ancient astronaut theorists 238 00:15:11,540 --> 00:15:13,900 Georgiosuclos and William Henry 239 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,500 traveled to Rockart Ranch in Winslow, Arizona 240 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,740 to investigate one of North America's most extensive 241 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,120 collections of petroglyphs. 242 00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:28,280 Joining them is esteemed Navajo tribal ranger, John Dover. 243 00:15:28,340 --> 00:15:31,440 It's so great to meet you because 31 years, 244 00:15:31,540 --> 00:15:33,740 you've been a tribal Navajo ranger. 245 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,740 Is that correct? 246 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:35,640 Yes. 247 00:15:35,740 --> 00:15:43,880 I started in 1980 to 2011 and worked most of the reservation 248 00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:46,920 up there at 27,000 square miles. 249 00:15:47,020 --> 00:15:47,860 Wow. 250 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,460 This ranch is very unique because there is so much 251 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,100 archaeology here. 252 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,160 Well, we're sure excited to be here to get eyes on it with you. 253 00:15:57,180 --> 00:15:57,960 OK. 254 00:15:58,060 --> 00:15:58,860 Well, let's go take a look. 255 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,020 All right. 256 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:06,100 Rockart Ranch's 5,000 acres are home to nearly 3,000 257 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,760 ancient petroglyphs. 258 00:16:07,860 --> 00:16:10,100 And on nearly every panel are figures 259 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,300 that the Navajo identify as star people. 260 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,940 This is sensational. 261 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:16,680 Look at that guy right there. 262 00:16:16,780 --> 00:16:18,580 They call that the birthing mother, right? 263 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,740 That's right. 264 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,640 Very fascinating because I'm looking at that 265 00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:25,520 and immediately my mind goes around the world. 266 00:16:25,620 --> 00:16:26,480 Absolutely. 267 00:16:26,540 --> 00:16:28,500 This is a depiction of a mother goddess. 268 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,940 Yep. 269 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,780 It's like those big giant statues that were found over in Europe. 270 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:34,780 Right. 271 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,580 But it also reminds me of dogu statues of Japan. 272 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,580 Yeah. 273 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:40,380 And also the wangeenas. 274 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,180 Right. 275 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:41,920 Very similar. 276 00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:47,820 In the northwest Kimberly region of Australia, 277 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,560 ancient cave art depicts beings called the wangeena, 278 00:16:51,660 --> 00:16:55,800 the sky heroes of one of Australia's indigenous clans. 279 00:16:55,860 --> 00:16:57,520 The stories behind the wangeenas 280 00:16:57,620 --> 00:17:02,300 goes that they descended from the sky and gave knowledge 281 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,500 and jumpstarted civilization in Australia thousands 282 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,800 and thousands of years ago. 283 00:17:08,900 --> 00:17:12,600 And the wangeenas are incredible because they 284 00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:17,380 have these gigantic heads and these long bodies 285 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,640 and these arms. 286 00:17:19,740 --> 00:17:23,580 It seems as if they're inside some sort 287 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,880 of a pressurized suit. 288 00:17:26,980 --> 00:17:30,940 There are similar figures all around the world, 289 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:37,080 big bulbous heads, big bodies floating up in the sky. 290 00:17:37,180 --> 00:17:39,920 In Japan we have the same things. 291 00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:47,860 In Africa, in Europe, in North and South America. 292 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,500 So my suggestion is that the extraterrestrials that 293 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,720 came to Earth thousands and thousands of years ago 294 00:17:55,820 --> 00:17:58,160 didn't just visit Australia. 295 00:17:58,260 --> 00:18:02,100 They visited each and every continent on Earth. 296 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,400 And that is why we have the similar motifs. 297 00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:07,900 Look at the concentric rings up there. 298 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,100 That's the portal symbol. 299 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,400 There's two of them. 300 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:12,100 And there's guys around the portal. 301 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,200 Interesting. 302 00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:14,540 Yeah. 303 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,640 Tell me, John, Petroglyphs are regarded as picture books 304 00:18:19,700 --> 00:18:22,040 that tell a story all at once. 305 00:18:22,140 --> 00:18:23,140 That's right. 306 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:28,440 And also, enmeshed in all this, are religious symbols. 307 00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:32,340 Things that tell you something about how they worshipped, 308 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,040 pictures of gods. 309 00:18:35,140 --> 00:18:40,440 And when you say gods, what in your culture, 310 00:18:40,540 --> 00:18:41,540 what does that mean? 311 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:47,140 It could be anything from somebody coming to them 312 00:18:47,140 --> 00:18:50,940 and meeting with them and imparting knowledge. 313 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,840 And in the case of the Navajo, that's 314 00:18:52,940 --> 00:18:54,940 what the Yebache represent. 315 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,340 In the case of the Hopes, the Cachinas 316 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:03,740 represent those gods that came to Earth to give them knowledge. 317 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,240 And could one make the argument that these may have been 318 00:19:07,340 --> 00:19:10,940 visitations by flesh and blood extraterrestrials 319 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,240 in ancient times? 320 00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:13,640 Oh, definitely. 321 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,140 From what we understand, there's many different races 322 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:21,040 of alien that are coming to this world. 323 00:19:21,140 --> 00:19:22,240 That's amazing. 324 00:19:22,340 --> 00:19:25,540 In the case of some tribes down in southern Arizona, 325 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,640 you even have a mountain range called the Astraea Mountains. 326 00:19:29,740 --> 00:19:32,540 In the language of the people in that area, 327 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,540 Astraea means Stargate. 328 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,540 Absolutely, Astraea, Stargate. 329 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,840 Am I correct to assume that this is only the tip of the iceberg 330 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,340 and that there are so many more panels like this 331 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,540 that the world doesn't even know about? 332 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,440 On the Navajo Reservation alone, there are 300,000 sites 333 00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:54,140 that are recorded. 334 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,040 I mean, we're talking at least 4,000 BC, right? 335 00:19:59,140 --> 00:20:00,240 That's right. 336 00:20:00,340 --> 00:20:02,840 Well, this is great, but I'm just looking on the other side 337 00:20:02,940 --> 00:20:03,940 and there is more. 338 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,240 I mean, there's more everywhere. 339 00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:07,840 So let's go check out the other ones as well. 340 00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:08,740 Sure thing. 341 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:17,240 July 2021, Giorgio Suclos and William Henry 342 00:20:17,340 --> 00:20:20,040 have been granted special access to Rock Art Ranch 343 00:20:20,140 --> 00:20:24,440 in Winslow, Arizona, where Navajo Tribal Elder John Dover 344 00:20:24,540 --> 00:20:27,640 is guiding them through the ancient Petroglyph panels. 345 00:20:27,740 --> 00:20:29,140 Wow, look at this. 346 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,440 I mean, look at the hollow body with the star inside. 347 00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:37,240 Mm-hmm. 348 00:20:37,340 --> 00:20:39,440 One of the most beautiful things in the world. 349 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:40,940 The body with the star inside. 350 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:41,940 Mm-hmm. 351 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,640 One hand points at a sky, the other down to Earth. 352 00:20:46,740 --> 00:20:51,140 And just beneath that, look at that as a great alien. 353 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,440 That triangular head. 354 00:20:52,540 --> 00:20:53,740 That is a strange. 355 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,740 Yeah, it is. 356 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,940 You have all kinds of different types of figures, 357 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,140 different representations of gods. 358 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,140 Right. 359 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,840 I mean, what we have to fill in with our imagination 360 00:21:02,940 --> 00:21:08,240 is that these beings off the wall, 3D, walking amongst the people. 361 00:21:08,340 --> 00:21:09,940 We're interacting with these beings. 362 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:10,940 Right. 363 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,540 We don't know if it's the same time. 364 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,540 Right. 365 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,140 Or could be different times. 366 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,140 That's mind blowing. 367 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,840 I'm so intrigued by that double helix up there too 368 00:21:19,940 --> 00:21:22,040 beside the trapezoidal figure. 369 00:21:22,140 --> 00:21:22,840 Mm-hmm. 370 00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:26,340 I mean, as if to indicate because of the creature on the left, 371 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,340 DNA, you know, had something to do with this. 372 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,340 That's right. 373 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,340 Giorgio, when you see the guy with the trapezoidal body 374 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,540 and you see the curvy lines on the body, 375 00:21:36,540 --> 00:21:39,940 that always symbolizes, like, vibration. 376 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,040 OK. 377 00:21:41,140 --> 00:21:43,740 The Anunnaki were cloaks that had those kind of curvy lines 378 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,740 all over. 379 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,640 Right. 380 00:21:45,740 --> 00:21:47,540 And so here we have a clear, clear symbolic connection 381 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,640 with the Anunnaki on this figure. 382 00:21:50,740 --> 00:21:54,840 The Anunnaki were powerful deities worshiped more than 5,000 383 00:21:54,940 --> 00:21:59,640 years ago by the ancient Samarians who inhabited Mesopotamia, 384 00:21:59,740 --> 00:22:04,040 an area that is now modern-day Iraq. 385 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,240 According to the Samarian writings, 386 00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:11,240 the Anunnaki descended upon a mountain shining like the sun 387 00:22:11,340 --> 00:22:16,040 and shared profound wisdom with the human race. 388 00:22:16,140 --> 00:22:18,640 Look at all the different types of beings here. 389 00:22:18,740 --> 00:22:20,440 And then all the way across there, 390 00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:22,840 you've still got even more variety. 391 00:22:22,940 --> 00:22:25,540 I mean, this is almost like a meeting place 392 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,440 of all these different worlds and different beings. 393 00:22:28,540 --> 00:22:30,540 So, you know, you have giants. 394 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,440 You have little people. 395 00:22:32,940 --> 00:22:34,940 And the giants and the little people 396 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,640 are talked about in the other world that they came from 397 00:22:39,740 --> 00:22:41,240 before they came to this world. 398 00:22:41,340 --> 00:22:47,040 And this is the same with Sego Canyon up in Utah. 399 00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:52,940 You have these massive, massive carvings and petroglyphs. 400 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,140 So the fact that we have these virtually identical motifs 401 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,540 to me suggests they were all taught by the same teachers. 402 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,140 And the guy here with the horns, which could be rays, 403 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,340 right next to the gray alien, 404 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,240 he's got horns or rays coming off of his head. 405 00:23:10,340 --> 00:23:12,640 You see that at Valcomonica in Italy? 406 00:23:12,740 --> 00:23:13,640 Yes, you do. 407 00:23:13,740 --> 00:23:15,140 All kinds of different places. 408 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,840 Again, pointing to the idea that these could be luminous 409 00:23:17,940 --> 00:23:19,840 or radiant beings that they're portraying. 410 00:23:19,940 --> 00:23:24,740 And seeing creatures here having, for example, three fingers. 411 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:29,040 You know, as far as I know, except for a couple of reptiles, 412 00:23:29,140 --> 00:23:31,940 there aren't any three-fingered creatures. 413 00:23:32,540 --> 00:23:34,740 And especially nothing humanoid. 414 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:40,340 So again, our ancestors had impeccable powers of observation. 415 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:41,540 That's all they did all day. 416 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,140 They observed. 417 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,240 And so your estimation then, too, 418 00:23:45,340 --> 00:23:49,240 is that this was not a bunch of kids on a Saturday night 419 00:23:49,340 --> 00:23:50,340 not knowing what to do. 420 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,740 Absolutely not. 421 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,340 These were people that came here with a purpose. 422 00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:01,440 And the purpose was to put their history on the wall, 423 00:24:01,940 --> 00:24:04,940 showing where they came from, where they were going. 424 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,640 John, this is incredible. 425 00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:11,140 And what I love the most is the axis. 426 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,740 I mean, I've never been face-to-face like this. 427 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:14,940 There's a lot of places. 428 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,340 Nobody's allowed to go except for archaeologists, 429 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,240 medicine men, and rangers. 430 00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:21,240 It's spectacular. 431 00:24:21,340 --> 00:24:24,240 It's one thing to see images in a book or online, 432 00:24:24,340 --> 00:24:27,340 but to come face-to-face with it, feel the energy, see it. 433 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:28,340 Spectacular. 434 00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:31,840 I came away with this deep sense 435 00:24:31,940 --> 00:24:36,740 that this is meant for us to discover throughout the ages, 436 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,040 that it was super important to the ancients 437 00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:43,440 to record this information, to tell us that these beings were here. 438 00:24:43,540 --> 00:24:46,240 They had a hand in our evolution. 439 00:24:46,340 --> 00:24:49,740 And they're probably still visiting us today. 440 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,140 What I think is important, and this whole thing is, 441 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,140 that John said, these are our stories of the star people. 442 00:24:57,140 --> 00:25:01,840 And when First Nation cultures say that someone visited 443 00:25:01,940 --> 00:25:05,240 from the sky and imparted knowledge, 444 00:25:05,340 --> 00:25:08,240 I think it's time that we start to listen. 445 00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:12,240 Do the petroglyphs at Rock Art Ranch 446 00:25:12,340 --> 00:25:16,240 provide an historical record of extraterrestrial visitation 447 00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:18,640 in North America? 448 00:25:18,740 --> 00:25:22,440 And if so, why does there seem to be such a strong connection 449 00:25:22,540 --> 00:25:26,040 between Native Americans and other worldly beings? 450 00:25:27,140 --> 00:25:30,640 Perhaps further clues can be found within oral traditions 451 00:25:30,740 --> 00:25:34,740 that describe strange beings known as the ant men. 452 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,740 Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. 453 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,340 In the desolate high desert of the American Southwest, 454 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,540 stand the ruins of the most important ceremonial site 455 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,040 of the ancient Pueblo people. 456 00:25:52,140 --> 00:25:56,040 Constructed around 900 AD, the central feature 457 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,640 of this vast complex is the great Kiva. 458 00:25:59,740 --> 00:26:07,140 A Kiva is basically a Native American version of a church. 459 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,440 It is a circular structure. 460 00:26:10,540 --> 00:26:13,940 Chaco Canyon has an absolutely giant one 461 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,140 that's located there. 462 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,540 When you enter one, you are literally entering another world 463 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,340 to commune with the gods from before. 464 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,440 In ancient Pueblo culture, every place you went 465 00:26:29,540 --> 00:26:34,140 had a small Kiva of some kind, but they would get together 466 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,440 maybe eight or nine different Kivas, small ones, 467 00:26:37,540 --> 00:26:40,740 into a larger great Kiva. 468 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:45,240 And the great Kivas were huge. 469 00:26:45,340 --> 00:26:49,240 When the Spanish came in, in the 1600s, 470 00:26:49,340 --> 00:26:53,240 they took their church and interposed it on top of the Kiva. 471 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,040 So everywhere in these Hopi villages, in the Pueblo 472 00:26:57,140 --> 00:27:00,340 villages that you see a Catholic church, 473 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,340 it's usually on the high point of land 474 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,840 where the Kiva was destroyed and the church 475 00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:07,340 was built over the top of it. 476 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,540 Every Kiva includes a feature called a Cipapu. 477 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,840 In some Kivas, the Cipapu is a small hole 478 00:27:17,940 --> 00:27:20,340 in the subterranean wall. 479 00:27:20,340 --> 00:27:22,740 In Kivas that are enclosed, it is often 480 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,040 represented by a hole in the roof. 481 00:27:26,140 --> 00:27:28,740 In both cases, it is the most important part 482 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,440 of the structure, symbolizing the entrance 483 00:27:31,540 --> 00:27:34,440 to a subterranean world. 484 00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:39,740 All of the Pueblos share a story in which humankind 485 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,040 began under the earth, and we slowly over generations 486 00:27:44,140 --> 00:27:48,340 crawled up and out of a hole called Cipapu. 487 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,840 And the Kivas have this little hole in it symbolizing that. 488 00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:56,540 The descendants of the ancestral Pueblo 489 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,640 share the belief that earth was populated three separate times 490 00:28:00,740 --> 00:28:05,540 before the era of modern humans, with each previous age 491 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,140 ending in a devastating cataclysm. 492 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,340 The Pueblo Indians believe that there in fact 493 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,440 were three worlds who were epochs before ours, 494 00:28:14,540 --> 00:28:16,740 and they were all destroyed. 495 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:23,040 First by fire, the second by ice, and the third by water. 496 00:28:23,140 --> 00:28:26,940 In each instance, they tell us that it was due to mistreatment 497 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,340 of the earth, and so that tells us 498 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,240 that there could have been previous examples of humanity 499 00:28:33,340 --> 00:28:35,040 that were destroyed. 500 00:28:35,140 --> 00:28:37,840 Who knows how long ago. 501 00:28:37,940 --> 00:28:40,840 We're living now in the fourth world, 502 00:28:40,940 --> 00:28:44,440 and the Zunis and Hopi's believe our fourth world 503 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,240 will also end in a cataclysm. 504 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,040 Their prophecy says that there would be a gourd of ashes 505 00:28:53,140 --> 00:28:57,440 that would come from the sky that's interpreted as nuclear warfare. 506 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,240 The Hopi suggests that there were previous worlds 507 00:29:01,340 --> 00:29:04,740 or civilizations before, and this is interesting 508 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,940 because there are other cultures, ancient cultures 509 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,440 around the world who speak of similar stories. 510 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,940 The Kabbalah teaches that there were previous advanced 511 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,440 human civilizations, a number of them. 512 00:29:18,540 --> 00:29:21,440 The Hindus teach about the Yugas, 513 00:29:21,540 --> 00:29:24,440 where civilization advances to a very high place 514 00:29:24,540 --> 00:29:28,440 and then descends and then re-ascends. 515 00:29:28,540 --> 00:29:31,440 It too is divided into four different ages. 516 00:29:31,540 --> 00:29:34,440 So all of these traditions correspond directly 517 00:29:34,540 --> 00:29:37,440 with what the Native American tradition is teaching. 518 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,440 Could the Native American tradition, 519 00:29:40,540 --> 00:29:44,440 describing previous ages of humankind, be true? 520 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,440 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 521 00:29:48,540 --> 00:29:51,940 and suggest that these stories also contain evidence 522 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,440 of extraterrestrial intervention. 523 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:00,440 The Hopis of Northern Arizona have a very curious myth 524 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,440 of surviving the third of the cataclysms 525 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,440 by going underground and living with what they call the ant men. 526 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,440 The stories the Hopi tell is that the ant people 527 00:30:13,540 --> 00:30:17,440 rescued them from cataclysm by taking them underground, 528 00:30:17,540 --> 00:30:22,440 literally, and helping the Hopi to survive underground. 529 00:30:22,540 --> 00:30:26,440 And then once it was safe to return to the surface of the earth, 530 00:30:26,540 --> 00:30:29,440 the Hopi were taken up through the Sipapu, 531 00:30:29,540 --> 00:30:32,440 by the ant people, and repopulated the earth. 532 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,440 But in all instances, the ant people are described as having 533 00:30:35,540 --> 00:30:37,440 a special relationship with the Hopi 534 00:30:37,540 --> 00:30:41,440 and also of having a connection with the star realms. 535 00:30:41,540 --> 00:30:45,440 Despite their name, ant men are described not as insects, 536 00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:48,440 but rather as small, humanoid figures. 537 00:30:48,540 --> 00:30:51,440 The reason they call these creatures ant men 538 00:30:51,540 --> 00:30:54,440 is that they lived under the earth 539 00:30:54,540 --> 00:30:58,440 and they would emerge much like ants crawling out of a hive. 540 00:30:58,540 --> 00:31:00,440 So they called them ant men. 541 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,440 But what they were were extraterrestrials. 542 00:31:03,540 --> 00:31:06,440 They were entering our world through the portal. 543 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,440 The ant men were underground dwellers who had a high technology 544 00:31:12,540 --> 00:31:17,440 and looked very similar, apparently, to what we would call grey aliens. 545 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:23,440 So this is something of a mystery of who these ant men were. 546 00:31:23,540 --> 00:31:27,440 Many Hopis and the Zunis have similar belief that yes, 547 00:31:27,540 --> 00:31:29,440 the ant men were extraterrestrials. 548 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,440 There were beings that are of the extraterrestrial origin 549 00:31:35,540 --> 00:31:41,440 that were part of that whole emergence mythology, 550 00:31:41,540 --> 00:31:43,440 the entrance to the fourth world. 551 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,440 Could it be that the story of the ant men 552 00:31:47,540 --> 00:31:51,440 is a genuine account of extraterrestrials helping humanity 553 00:31:51,540 --> 00:31:53,440 survive a global cataclysm? 554 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,440 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 555 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,440 and suggest further clues can be found 556 00:32:00,540 --> 00:32:03,440 by comparing the Native American traditions 557 00:32:03,540 --> 00:32:08,440 to accounts of a legendary lost continent called Atlantis. 558 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,440 Athens, Greece, the fourth century BC. 559 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,440 In his famous dialogues, Tamaeus and Cretias, 560 00:32:21,540 --> 00:32:25,440 the Greek philosopher Plato writes about a lost continent 561 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,440 that existed 9,000 years before his time 562 00:32:28,540 --> 00:32:32,440 and was home to a highly advanced civilization. 563 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,440 Called Atlantis, it was founded by the Greek god Poseidon 564 00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:41,440 and the inhabitants possessed sophisticated technology. 565 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,440 But Atlantis was ultimately destroyed by a terrible cataclysm 566 00:32:46,540 --> 00:32:49,440 and according to some researchers, 567 00:32:49,540 --> 00:32:52,440 the story of its destruction is strikingly similar 568 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:57,440 to Native American traditions detailing the end of the third world. 569 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,440 The Hopi and other Pueblo Indians tell us 570 00:33:01,540 --> 00:33:05,440 that their devastating cataclysm was due to human greed 571 00:33:05,540 --> 00:33:09,440 and wandering away from the spiritual truths of our creator. 572 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,440 What's interesting about this is that this idea 573 00:33:13,540 --> 00:33:16,440 is echoed in Plato's story of the destruction of Atlantis. 574 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,440 The Atlanteans were also created by gods. 575 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,440 As soon as humanity wandered off into materialism, 576 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,440 that's when Atlantis was destroyed by water. 577 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,440 A perfect correspondence with what the Hopi said happened 578 00:33:30,540 --> 00:33:32,440 at the end of the third world. 579 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,440 Could there be a connection between the ancient Greek tale of Atlantis 580 00:33:37,540 --> 00:33:40,440 and Native American origin stories? 581 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,440 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 582 00:33:43,540 --> 00:33:46,440 another story told by early Native Americans 583 00:33:46,540 --> 00:33:49,440 bears striking similarities to Atlantis. 584 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,440 The legend of the lost city of Aslan, 585 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,440 which appears in the traditions of the Aztecs 586 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,440 and numerous Native American groups throughout the Southwest. 587 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,440 It's considered the birthplace of civilization 588 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,440 based on the Mexica codices 589 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:14,440 and the oral history of the Mojavees, of the Hopi. 590 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,440 So we have all these oral histories also 591 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,440 that allude to the origin of Aslan. 592 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,440 There's debate among scholars as to exactly what Aslan looked like. 593 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:36,440 And we know that the Aztecs say that their capital of Tenochtitlan 594 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,440 was made in the image of Aslan. 595 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:45,440 And from that capital, we get a backwards projection 596 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,440 that their origin place is an island surrounded by water. 597 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,440 They actually built Tenochtitlan up into the lake 598 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,440 and put causeways out so that it looks very much like Atlantis. 599 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:06,440 According to the Aztecs, the god Witsila Pochdale 600 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:08,440 was the founder of Tenochtitlan, 601 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,440 which as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 602 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,440 provides yet another intriguing connection 603 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:18,440 to Plato's description of Atlantis. 604 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,440 Tenochtitlan was a place made artificially, 605 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,440 compared to Atlantis. 606 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,440 In both cases, a god was the ruler of it. 607 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,440 In Atlantis, we have Poseidon. 608 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,440 Now Poseidon was an extraterrestrial. 609 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,440 Not everyone should have access to Atlantis. 610 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,440 The same thing in Azlan or Tenochtitlan. 611 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,440 They wanted to be separated. 612 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,440 They had a certain technology there, which was a hidden technology, 613 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,440 and it was not for the general public. 614 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:54,440 It's the same thing. 615 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,440 The fact that we have stories that are not just similar, 616 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,440 but identical leads me to think that perhaps 617 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,440 these ancient cultures were visited by the same extraterrestrials. 618 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,440 While mainstream academics consider the stories 619 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,440 of these lost civilizations and their destruction to be mythological, 620 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,440 the recent discovery of vast sunken land masses, 621 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:25,440 such as Doggerland, located just east of the British Isles in 2012, 622 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,440 Enzelandia, found near New Zealand in 2017, 623 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,440 may offer proof that a catastrophic water event did in fact 624 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:37,440 change the face of the Earth. 625 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,440 So here we have authentic legends of lost lands 626 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,440 that were destroyed in cataclysms. 627 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,440 Mainstream historians still pretty much reject this, 628 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,440 feel that it's all myth, 629 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,440 but it would seem really that all kinds of civilizations 630 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,440 could have come and gone on our planet. 631 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,440 We know that there are over 200 known submerged cities in the Mediterranean. 632 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,440 There's just so much on our planet that we have yet to find out. 633 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,440 In the Native American indigenous teaching, 634 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,440 there are cycles of destruction and rebirth. 635 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,440 The interesting part is that this is parallel to other great world teachings. 636 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,440 In the story of Noah, the sons of God came down to Earth 637 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,440 and they were teaching the humans evil ways, 638 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,440 and God decided to intervene and brought this great flood. 639 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:36,440 In the story of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian legend, 640 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,440 the council of gods brought the flood. 641 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,440 The ink of God Vera Kocha created the great flood. 642 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,440 So all of these traditions correspond directly 643 00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,440 with the Hopi Four Worlds tradition about previous civilizations 644 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,440 destroyed by the gods. 645 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:56,440 The story is always the same. 646 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,440 This speaks to the idea of extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs. 647 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:08,440 I believe there are ancient civilizations that some people refuse to write about, 648 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:14,440 but ancient civilizations are coming to surface because the time has come 649 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,440 to tell the truth about human origin. 650 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:24,440 Could it be that Native American stories of star people and have lost civilizations 651 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,440 so closely resembles other ancient traditions from around the globe 652 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,440 because they all encountered the same other worldly visitors? 653 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:39,440 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest the Native American knowledge 654 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,440 of star people comes not only from the distant past, 655 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:49,440 but from the extraterrestrial activity that occurs over native lands even today. 656 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:50,440 Even today. 657 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,440 Corn Mountain, New Mexico. 658 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:06,440 According to Zuni elder Clifford Mahudi, above this steep mesa on the Zuni Reservation, 659 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,440 strange lights are seen in the sky nearly every night. 660 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:18,440 The UFO activity here is very, very prevalent because of the religious system 661 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,440 that we practice every day. 662 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:29,440 So all around the whole Zuni Reservation, you can look up in the sky and they're up there. 663 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,440 And they're not stars, they're not planets. 664 00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,440 There's a lot of our people that here in Zuni have seen them. 665 00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:44,440 When you talk to many Native Americans, they'll tell you that UFO sightings are common on their native lands. 666 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,440 And you have to ask, why is that? 667 00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:53,440 Is it because they have had these traditions of the star people and the star ancestors? 668 00:39:54,440 --> 00:40:00,440 Maybe places like the Zuni Territory and Hopi Mesas have been visited for thousands of years. 669 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:08,440 Today, more UFO incidents are being reported and captured on camera than ever before. 670 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:15,440 But while this recent activity has captured the public's imagination and inspired sensational headlines, 671 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,440 for many Native Americans, it is nothing out of the ordinary. 672 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:29,440 In my time working as a Navajo Ranger, we had incidents of UFOs. 673 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,440 Coming and going all the time. 674 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,440 When we talk to people, they tell us, oh yeah, they're here all the time. 675 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:45,440 So they just accept it and has such with the knowledge that I have and the experiences I've had, 676 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,440 I know they're out there, I've seen them numerous, numerous times. 677 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,440 And it's just a fact of life. 678 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:57,440 We must re-establish the connection between our star ancestors 679 00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:03,440 by educating and creating an awareness among the humans on Earth. 680 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:10,440 We have to establish an urgency, protecting the sacred sites and telling the story of what they mean. 681 00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:14,440 This is the history of the world. We are star beings. 682 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,440 As far as being connected with the star elders, they gave us this knowledge 683 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:26,440 and ours is a direct relationship with the entities throughout the universe. 684 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:34,440 Could contact with star people as described in the ancient sacred traditions 685 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,440 still be happening in Native American communities today? 686 00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:43,440 And if so, might it be the beginning of the next Earth cycle? 687 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,440 And a profound new chapter in the human story. 688 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:53,440 Perhaps as we learn the truth about the mysterious objects in the sky, 689 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:59,440 we will discover that the star ancestors are not merely ancient figures carved on rocks, 690 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,440 but an extraterrestrial presence that has been guiding us all along.
