1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,500 Prehistoric rock art, depicting astronauts. 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:05,840 Oh, look at that. 3 00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:06,840 The spaceman. 4 00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:08,000 Space man, exactly. 5 00:00:08,100 --> 00:00:09,300 Look at the helmet. 6 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,340 An ancient temple covered in otherworldly writings. 7 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,880 It's all here in this sanctuary. 8 00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:19,620 The whole story of humanity's place in the stars. 9 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,960 Incredible petroglyphs of mysterious flying objects. 10 00:00:24,060 --> 00:00:27,220 So this one here looks like a UFO. 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,580 For more than a decade, ancient aliens 12 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,780 has examined the oldest and most mysterious carvings 13 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,960 on Earth up close and in person. 14 00:00:38,060 --> 00:00:41,560 Now we take a look back at some of the most extraordinary 15 00:00:41,660 --> 00:00:45,860 glyphs, glyphs that, according to ancient astronaut 16 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,540 theorists, tell a worldwide story of alien visitation. 17 00:00:57,220 --> 00:01:09,900 On ancient aliens, we have traveled across the world, 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,760 examining some of the most mysterious stone carvings, 19 00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:16,200 often referred to as glyphs. 20 00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,540 Our ancestors spent countless hours carving images and symbols 21 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,540 as a record of what they thought were the most important 22 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,440 pieces of their history. 23 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,200 Many glyphs depict strange, humanoid figures 24 00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:35,940 and tell stories of visitors coming down from the sky. 25 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,340 William Henry got to see some of these incredible glyphs 26 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,220 up close in the mountains of northern Italy. 27 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:50,280 Valcomonica, Italy, June 13, 2019. 28 00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:53,260 Ancient astronaut theorist William Henry 29 00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:56,720 has traveled to this UNESCO World Heritage Site 30 00:01:56,820 --> 00:02:00,560 to investigate what he believes could be forensic evidence 31 00:02:00,660 --> 00:02:03,160 that the early civilizations of this region 32 00:02:03,260 --> 00:02:06,540 came into contact with extraterrestrials. 33 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,440 Hi, I'm William. 34 00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:08,340 Hi, I'm Luca. 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,240 Nice to meet you. 36 00:02:09,340 --> 00:02:13,780 Joining him is Luca Giarelli, the head of the Valcomonica 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,140 Historical and Anthropological Society. 38 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,080 Luca has spent years studying this mysterious region 39 00:02:20,180 --> 00:02:22,620 of northern Italy and wants to show 40 00:02:22,640 --> 00:02:26,080 William the rock carvings for which this alpine valley is 41 00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:27,120 famous. 42 00:02:27,220 --> 00:02:29,120 This place is massive. 43 00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:30,480 Yeah, it's very big. 44 00:02:30,580 --> 00:02:34,720 And the rock carvings all that are. 45 00:02:34,820 --> 00:02:35,720 Are you ready for a hike? 46 00:02:35,820 --> 00:02:36,220 I'm ready. 47 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:36,720 Let's go. 48 00:02:36,820 --> 00:02:37,220 Let's go. 49 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:42,000 I'm here at Valcomonica because it 50 00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:45,460 is a treasure trove of images from the ancient world that 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,400 have been well documented and studied by scholars. 52 00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:50,740 They don't agree on the meaning of the images, 53 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,840 but some of them are very open-minded to the ancient 54 00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:56,400 astronaut theory. 55 00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:01,400 This is one of the rock art sites here in Valcomonica. 56 00:03:01,500 --> 00:03:02,380 Footprints. 57 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,440 Footprints there. 58 00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:03,880 Wow. 59 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,440 You can see here. 60 00:03:08,540 --> 00:03:11,020 Look like deer. 61 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,220 We have warriors. 62 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,120 Look at this. 63 00:03:15,220 --> 00:03:16,620 Incredible. 64 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,620 Thousands and thousands of figures on the rocks. 65 00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:22,740 Here we are. 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,740 Wow. 67 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,700 What we have here? 68 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,740 We have this one, this figure. 69 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,440 Oh, look at that. 70 00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:30,440 This spaceman. 71 00:03:30,540 --> 00:03:31,640 Spaceman, exactly. 72 00:03:31,740 --> 00:03:32,640 Look at the helmet. 73 00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:33,740 Look at the helmet. 74 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,740 Right. 75 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,740 It's like he's glowing. 76 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,740 Yeah. 77 00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:40,320 And the communion rose. 78 00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,460 The communion rose. 79 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,020 It's a strange and mysterious symbol with nine dots. 80 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,240 It was made probably of the first millennium before Christ. 81 00:03:52,340 --> 00:03:53,320 Wow. 82 00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:56,420 We have 19 communion rows in Valcomonica. 83 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,420 19 communion rows. 84 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,820 Archeologists call this mysterious symbol the communion 85 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,960 rose because of its flower-like shape. 86 00:04:06,060 --> 00:04:09,400 While its exact meaning is lost to history, 87 00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:12,200 some believe it to be a religious symbol 88 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:16,100 or a representation of the movement of the stars. 89 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,260 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest it might also 90 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,960 depict something else, the vessel that brought these 91 00:04:23,060 --> 00:04:26,860 helmeted figures to Valcomonica. 92 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,760 Look at that. 93 00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:28,700 That looks like a spaceship. 94 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:29,900 It's like you look up in the sky 95 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,400 and you would see this kind of twirling, spinning ship 96 00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:34,100 in the sky. 97 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,800 It seems to me just looking at it, 98 00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:44,040 they're trying to talk about beings coming from other worlds, 99 00:04:44,140 --> 00:04:45,540 maybe to this place. 100 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,280 It could be an interpretation. 101 00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:50,740 Tell me about that five-pointed star. 102 00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,780 We have a lot of five-pointed stars here on this rock. 103 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,080 But we don't know what they mean when 104 00:04:58,180 --> 00:05:01,420 they did this particular geometric shape. 105 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,660 Sometimes the stars mean energy, like energy 106 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,700 from the stars would come to this place, 107 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,000 where star beings would come to this place. 108 00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:11,160 Yeah, it could be an interpretation. 109 00:05:11,260 --> 00:05:13,800 We have a lot of mystery about the meaning 110 00:05:13,860 --> 00:05:16,660 of the engravings here in Valcomonica. 111 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,460 We have a different motivation, religious, mythological, 112 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,700 and also describing events. 113 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,600 OK. 114 00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:25,940 So this is like a newspaper then. 115 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,640 It says this was in the sky above us at some point, 116 00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:32,880 and this spaceman came down, and maybe 117 00:05:32,980 --> 00:05:34,880 met the communion people. 118 00:05:34,980 --> 00:05:35,880 It could be. 119 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,760 According to the ancient stories, 120 00:05:40,820 --> 00:05:45,980 the city of Turin, just 155 miles from Valcomonica, 121 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,260 was founded by a character from Greek mythology called 122 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,460 Phaeton, who came to Earth from the stars. 123 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:58,160 Legend states that Turin was founded by the god Phytan, who 124 00:05:58,260 --> 00:06:00,700 is a son of the sun god Helios. 125 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,700 And in the myth of Phytan, we learn 126 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,340 the story of how he descended to Earth in a fiery chariot, 127 00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:10,540 perhaps crashing into Mount Nusini. 128 00:06:13,380 --> 00:06:15,280 This also led to something fortuitous, 129 00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:18,020 because he brought gifts to this place. 130 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,160 He had great skills, was a metallurgist, 131 00:06:22,260 --> 00:06:26,620 and taught this to the local people. 132 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,060 When we look at myths such as the myth of Phytan, 133 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,300 here is really the story of a UFO landing on a mountain 134 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,960 and interacting with the locals. 135 00:06:39,060 --> 00:06:42,600 Given the connection with the spacemen that 136 00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:44,600 are etched into the rock, that we have 137 00:06:44,700 --> 00:06:47,400 to be open to the possibility that what the ancient artist is 138 00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,800 trying to portray is something that he actually 139 00:06:49,900 --> 00:06:53,640 saw in the sky, something coming out of the heavens. 140 00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:56,120 Is there a connection between the stone carvings 141 00:06:56,220 --> 00:07:00,180 found at Valcomonica and the story of Phytan's descent 142 00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:01,820 from the sky? 143 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,760 And do other clues exist here that point to ancient alien 144 00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:08,160 contact? 145 00:07:08,260 --> 00:07:09,520 Were there any other cultures that 146 00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:10,920 were connected with the valley? 147 00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:15,060 We found some engravings that represent 148 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,300 god of Celtic religion. 149 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,540 What sort of engravings? 150 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,300 You know, Cernunus. 151 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:22,940 It's a. 152 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,040 Oh, the horned god. 153 00:07:24,140 --> 00:07:24,840 Yeah. 154 00:07:24,940 --> 00:07:26,600 Yeah, it's a horned god. 155 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:31,380 And we find the same figure here in Valcomonica. 156 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,240 That means the Celts were here. 157 00:07:33,340 --> 00:07:34,920 Yeah, they were the connection. 158 00:07:34,980 --> 00:07:37,580 So is this the only location where we see the spaceman? 159 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,980 No, we have two locations. 160 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,680 This is one, but we can't find another astronaut out 161 00:07:42,780 --> 00:07:43,780 of the path. 162 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,780 Even deeper into the woods? 163 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,620 Yeah. 164 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,560 We can go there if you want. 165 00:07:46,660 --> 00:07:47,520 I'd love to go. 166 00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:48,020 Let's go. 167 00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:55,860 Luca guides William up a steep portion of the valley 168 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:02,300 for a rare look at another carving hidden from public view. 169 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,200 Careful. 170 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:03,800 All right. 171 00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:04,800 Thanks. 172 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,120 Whoa, here we are. 173 00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:07,260 Take a look where we are. 174 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,660 Wow. 175 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,460 We're like on the edge of a cliff here. 176 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,460 We have less than 100 people in the last 10 years 177 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,500 that came here. 178 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,000 Did you see them? 179 00:08:19,100 --> 00:08:19,900 Wait a minute. 180 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,700 There's one of them, isn't it, right there? 181 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:22,500 Yeah. 182 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:23,300 How cool. 183 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,740 A couple of spacemen. 184 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,540 Wow. 185 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,580 You can see here the helmet with rays like the other one. 186 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,380 Yeah, these are just like the other guys. 187 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,680 Yeah, it's very similar. 188 00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:35,640 But they are bigger. 189 00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:38,140 The detail is amazing. 190 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,440 Yeah. 191 00:08:39,540 --> 00:08:40,680 It's like a mirror. 192 00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:41,340 Mm-hmm. 193 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:42,340 One in front of the other. 194 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,780 It's same position, same helmet. 195 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,180 There's clearly some kind of an exchange that's happening here. 196 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,220 It's like they're making a photograph of what 197 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,520 happened at this place. 198 00:08:54,620 --> 00:08:56,420 They're trying to say, at this spot, 199 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,560 this is what we saw here. 200 00:08:58,660 --> 00:08:59,360 We don't know. 201 00:08:59,460 --> 00:09:02,760 But it's very strange because it's hidden location. 202 00:09:02,820 --> 00:09:08,620 These engravings are not meant to be seen by other people. 203 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,020 Of all places to find a rock like this, 204 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,720 this is a very secretive, almost initiatory place 205 00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:16,660 where select people would be brought here 206 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,460 to be told this story about these extraterrestrials. 207 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,660 Yeah, maybe that's the message for us. 208 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,540 Do the so-called spacemen of Valkymanaka 209 00:09:29,620 --> 00:09:32,660 commemorate an extraterrestrial visitation, 210 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,260 as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? 211 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,560 Perhaps further clues can be found 212 00:09:38,660 --> 00:09:42,860 by examining an Egyptian temple covered in hieroglyphs 213 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,640 that tell the story of the creation of humankind. 214 00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:55,100 Of all the mysterious glyphs we've examined on ancient aliens, 215 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,180 some of the most astounding can be found in Egypt, 216 00:09:58,220 --> 00:10:00,820 where they're known as hieroglyphs. 217 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,860 One of the most extensive collections of hieroglyphs 218 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,860 is at the Temple of Edfoo. 219 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,220 And in 2018, Rami Ramani gave us a rare opportunity 220 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,760 to see them for ourselves. 221 00:10:13,860 --> 00:10:19,760 Edfoo Egypt, April, 2018. 222 00:10:19,860 --> 00:10:24,040 Egyptologist Rami Ramani has invited author and researcher 223 00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:27,100 Andrew Collins to join him on a visit 224 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,200 to one of the most impressive and best preserved shrines 225 00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:34,660 in Egypt, the Temple of Edfoo, located on the west bank 226 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,200 of the Nile, 465 miles south of Cairo. 227 00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:42,240 Look at this temple. 228 00:10:42,340 --> 00:10:44,040 This is like my most favorite facade 229 00:10:44,140 --> 00:10:46,340 in all of the temples of ancient Egypt. 230 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,180 According to mainstream archaeologists, 231 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,180 Edfoo is believed to have been built sometime 232 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,180 between 237 and 57 BC. 233 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,900 It is dedicated to the Falcon-headed god Horus, 234 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,680 the son of Osiris, and Isis. 235 00:11:02,780 --> 00:11:04,840 This temple was one of the last temples that 236 00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:08,980 was ever built in ancient Egypt during the Roman times. 237 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,880 When they built that temple, they were like, 238 00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:12,880 we want to preserve the stories. 239 00:11:12,980 --> 00:11:16,320 So let's gather all the mythology of ancient Egypt 240 00:11:16,420 --> 00:11:19,260 and try to put it in one temple. 241 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,960 It took 150 years to make this happen. 242 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,120 And then finally, we have the book of ancient Egyptian 243 00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:27,080 mythology. 244 00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:30,720 It's right in front of us on all these walls. 245 00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:36,360 Every wall is absolutely covered in hieroglyphs and images, 246 00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:39,500 not only of the foundation of ancient Egypt 247 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,900 and the first temple, but also how the world came into being, 248 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,740 how Egypt came into being, how the universe was essentially 249 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,580 founded in the first place. 250 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,040 I mean, there's just so much here. 251 00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:57,840 The most sacred part of Edfoo is its inner sanctum, 252 00:11:57,940 --> 00:12:00,580 featuring a 12-foot tall granite stone. 253 00:12:03,380 --> 00:12:05,580 This is it, right here. 254 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,580 This is how it all began. 255 00:12:07,680 --> 00:12:10,920 Every symbol, every text, every little drawing in here 256 00:12:11,020 --> 00:12:14,420 represents the most sacred thing for ancient Egyptians. 257 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,660 The question that humans now still ask themselves, 258 00:12:18,740 --> 00:12:21,360 how did it all began, what created us? 259 00:12:21,460 --> 00:12:22,960 But every religion talks about it. 260 00:12:23,060 --> 00:12:27,000 Scientists try to figure out, ancient Egyptians had an answer. 261 00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:28,160 And it was right there. 262 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,240 Right on top of this is the Pyramidian. 263 00:12:34,340 --> 00:12:37,440 That Pyramidian is the primeval mound 264 00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:39,940 that appeared in the middle of the marches, 265 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,180 where all the gods came and landed on for the first time 266 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,880 to start creating humanity. 267 00:12:45,940 --> 00:12:49,600 This is the beginning of humanity. 268 00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:52,280 And the Pyramidian is almost like a miniature 269 00:12:52,380 --> 00:12:55,480 of what we see at Giza with the Great Pyramid, 270 00:12:55,580 --> 00:12:58,780 which is so fascinating, because what we have here 271 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,220 is a focus of all of these chapels 272 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,460 finishing with this incredible structure, 273 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:06,960 pointing towards the stars. 274 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,060 It's actually pointing towards the origins 275 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,300 of the gods themselves. 276 00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:17,920 There's another piece of evidence here that you might like. 277 00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:22,300 This is the boat, or a symbol of the boat 278 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:28,000 that they believed the gods came on to the first primeval stone. 279 00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:28,900 That's quite a story. 280 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,300 The first primeval mound. 281 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,040 The gods would have arrived on this ship. 282 00:13:35,140 --> 00:13:37,880 So it's all here in this sanctuary. 283 00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:40,880 The whole story of humanity's beginning. 284 00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:44,180 You know, it's placing the stars and how it arrived here 285 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,500 in the first place. 286 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,180 This, to me, strongly suggests that they were aware 287 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,440 that our origins are found amongst the stars. 288 00:13:52,540 --> 00:13:55,720 Or could it just simply be humans trying 289 00:13:55,820 --> 00:14:00,020 to make religions explain what science can't explain? 290 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,860 But I don't think it's about religion. 291 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,660 This is about cosmology, an ancient cosmology 292 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,260 that we're now beginning to understand for the first time 293 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,460 within science. 294 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,980 We can now essentially say that the idea that life came 295 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,220 from the stars is almost certainly a reality, 296 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,720 whether it came here or on a meteorite or whatever. 297 00:14:20,820 --> 00:14:26,060 Somehow, the ancient Egyptians knew this. 298 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,100 Are the ancient hieroglyphs carefully inscribed 299 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,200 on the granite stone at the temple of Edfou? 300 00:14:32,300 --> 00:14:36,140 Merely the fanciful notions of ancient Egyptian priests. 301 00:14:36,220 --> 00:14:40,360 Or could they be based on actual historical events? 302 00:14:40,460 --> 00:14:44,660 Perhaps the answers can be found by examining an ancient glyph 303 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,560 that can only be seen from the sky. 304 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,240 On ancient aliens, we have traveled around the world 305 00:14:55,340 --> 00:15:00,240 investigating incredible glyphs that, for me, prove we are not 306 00:15:00,340 --> 00:15:02,580 alone in the universe. 307 00:15:02,620 --> 00:15:05,080 Some of the most dramatic examples of this 308 00:15:05,180 --> 00:15:08,720 are geoglyphs, enormous symbols that 309 00:15:08,820 --> 00:15:12,660 have been carved into the Earth and can only be seen 310 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,420 from the sky. 311 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,760 In 2018, David Childress got a bird's eye 312 00:15:17,860 --> 00:15:21,000 view of one of the most amazing geoglyphs 313 00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:24,400 we've ever examined. 314 00:15:24,500 --> 00:15:27,640 Blight, California. 315 00:15:27,740 --> 00:15:31,880 Located in the desert just west of the Arizona border 316 00:15:31,940 --> 00:15:34,680 an estimated 300 gigantic figures 317 00:15:34,780 --> 00:15:38,480 can be seen etched in the arid ground, 318 00:15:38,580 --> 00:15:41,080 known as the Blythe Intaglios. 319 00:15:41,180 --> 00:15:45,460 These ancient carvings depict animals, spirals, 320 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,600 and perhaps most significantly gigantic humanoid figures. 321 00:15:50,700 --> 00:15:54,300 These intaglios are unique in that they're 322 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,900 always found on the shorelines of ancient lakes that 323 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,300 existed 12,500 years ago and prior. 324 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:07,100 In April 2018, ancient astronaut theorist David Childress 325 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,640 traveled to Blythe to meet with historian Patricia Robles 326 00:16:10,740 --> 00:16:15,440 and Alfredo Figueroa, an elder of the local Chemauevi tribe. 327 00:16:15,540 --> 00:16:17,540 He is also known to many in the region 328 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,080 as the guardian of the glyphs. 329 00:16:20,180 --> 00:16:23,380 David was eager to see firsthand whether the legends 330 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,460 surrounding these unique geoglyphs could be true. 331 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,920 They can only be seen from the air, really. 332 00:16:28,980 --> 00:16:30,540 Well, it can be seen from the ground, 333 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,640 but you can see it all intact. 334 00:16:32,740 --> 00:16:34,080 If you're walking on it, you really 335 00:16:34,180 --> 00:16:35,820 don't know what you're walking on. 336 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,780 Exactly. 337 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,780 Yeah, right. 338 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,120 We'll be able to see it with the drone, I think. 339 00:16:39,220 --> 00:16:40,320 Oh, that's action. 340 00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:41,520 You got a drone? 341 00:16:41,620 --> 00:16:42,520 Yes, we've got it. 342 00:16:42,620 --> 00:16:44,320 Yeah, let me get that drone out. 343 00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:46,760 OK, let me get it. 344 00:16:46,860 --> 00:16:49,260 Who built this and why? 345 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,760 The original tribe cheer were the Aztecs. 346 00:16:51,860 --> 00:16:52,700 The Aztecs. 347 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:53,500 Right. 348 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,200 We'll have a... 349 00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:56,700 Here we go. 350 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:57,700 Oh. 351 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:58,660 Here we go. 352 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,620 Oh. 353 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,520 Oh. 354 00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:01,520 Oh. 355 00:17:01,620 --> 00:17:02,500 Oh. 356 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:03,460 Oh. 357 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,260 Oh. 358 00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:05,360 Wow. 359 00:17:05,460 --> 00:17:07,300 That's pretty interesting. 360 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,200 With the drone camera, David, Patricia, and Alfredo 361 00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:14,600 are able to see the Blythe intanglios from a vantage point 362 00:17:14,700 --> 00:17:18,040 that their creators never could have, at least not 363 00:17:18,140 --> 00:17:21,920 without the aid of some form of aircraft. 364 00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:26,280 But if this is true, then why were they created and for whom? 365 00:17:27,820 --> 00:17:28,820 All right, this is... 366 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,820 It's Ome Siwat. 367 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,660 Siwat means woman. 368 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,860 And she is pregnant right here. 369 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:37,460 She's like having a baby, then. 370 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,160 And? 371 00:17:38,260 --> 00:17:39,160 OK. 372 00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:42,700 Right next to her is the Ocelot. 373 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,700 Ocelot is a jaguar. 374 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,740 So you can see it's a cat because that's a very long tail, huh? 375 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,240 Well, the tail is supposed to be like a... 376 00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:51,340 A loop. 377 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,640 A U. 378 00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:56,780 And in the cosmos, it represents the big dipper. 379 00:17:56,860 --> 00:17:59,660 Here in this place, they came down, 380 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,860 and because they descended from the cosmos, 381 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,560 our ancestors created these images 382 00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:10,360 and aligned them with the constellations 383 00:18:10,460 --> 00:18:13,860 so that we would understand that story. 384 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,940 But of all the Blythe intanglios, 385 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,940 the ones Alfredo is most eager to show David 386 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,340 are those that are the largest, and arguably, the most dramatic. 387 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:23,940 This is big. 388 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:24,940 This thing is huge. 389 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:25,940 That's right. 390 00:18:27,540 --> 00:18:30,280 They are the ones representing the Aztec gods 391 00:18:30,380 --> 00:18:33,480 Cocopele, better known as Quetzalcoatl, 392 00:18:33,580 --> 00:18:36,460 and Ceci Mido, the Aztec star god. 393 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:37,860 Which glyph is this one? 394 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960 What we are seeing here is Cocopele, 395 00:18:41,060 --> 00:18:43,460 and he represents Quetzalcoatl. 396 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,800 The Aztec god of Quetzalcoatl. 397 00:18:47,900 --> 00:18:48,800 So this one is... 398 00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:49,800 Ceci Mie. 399 00:18:49,900 --> 00:18:50,400 Ceci Mie. 400 00:18:53,500 --> 00:18:55,680 His face there, you see his nose. 401 00:18:55,700 --> 00:18:58,080 I mean, he's not like a normal person, is he? 402 00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:00,980 No, well, he looks just like an ET. 403 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,580 He looks like an extraterrestrial. 404 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,680 Uh-huh, yeah. 405 00:19:04,780 --> 00:19:07,320 An extraterrestrial? 406 00:19:07,420 --> 00:19:10,520 Is it possible that these incredible geoglyphs 407 00:19:10,620 --> 00:19:13,700 represent not just mythological gods, 408 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,100 but actual alien beings whose arrival on Earth 409 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,700 was witnessed by the Aztec people? 410 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,700 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 411 00:19:23,820 --> 00:19:27,420 and Alfredo Figueroa is convinced that it was here, 412 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,360 the location of the Aztec's legendary home of Aslan, 413 00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:36,000 where extraterrestrial visitors came down from the sky. 414 00:19:36,100 --> 00:19:39,700 Aslan is very important in Aztec mythology. 415 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,040 It was a place where the gods came down 416 00:19:42,140 --> 00:19:45,440 to give them the information and prophecies 417 00:19:45,540 --> 00:19:48,940 that the Aztecs had. 418 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,280 I mean, you're maintaining that this whole area here 419 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:53,520 around Blythe and the Colorado River 420 00:19:53,620 --> 00:19:58,360 is an ancient homeland of the Aztecs and the gods, too? 421 00:19:58,460 --> 00:19:59,460 Yes. 422 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,460 The geoglyphs were made by the Nawa people. 423 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,460 The Nawa are the origin of the Aztecs and the Mexicas. 424 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,700 So they're the ones that made them at first. 425 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,800 And then the Nawa people made these geoglyphs 426 00:20:12,900 --> 00:20:16,180 to honor the creator gods. 427 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,840 Right, and to not forget where we came from. 428 00:20:18,940 --> 00:20:19,840 Where we came from. 429 00:20:19,940 --> 00:20:20,940 That's right. 430 00:20:21,700 --> 00:20:25,080 Could it be that Blythe, California really 431 00:20:25,180 --> 00:20:28,680 was the ancestral home of the Aztec people? 432 00:20:28,780 --> 00:20:31,280 And that more than 1,000 years ago, 433 00:20:31,380 --> 00:20:35,720 the area was visited by extraterrestrial beings? 434 00:20:35,820 --> 00:20:38,020 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 435 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:40,620 that the answers may be found by examining 436 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,420 the most mysterious glyphs of all. 437 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,360 Incredible images of visitors from the sky. 438 00:20:51,940 --> 00:20:54,440 Any discussion of mysterious glyphs 439 00:20:54,540 --> 00:20:57,640 has to include the incredible ancient rock art 440 00:20:57,740 --> 00:20:59,480 of the Native Americans. 441 00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:02,840 In 2013, I got the rare opportunity 442 00:21:02,940 --> 00:21:06,180 to examine a remarkable collection of petroglyphs 443 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,820 in the Zuni territory of New Mexico 444 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,360 with tribal elder Clifford Mahoudi. 445 00:21:13,460 --> 00:21:17,960 The Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico, located at an elevation 446 00:21:18,060 --> 00:21:20,060 of over 6,000 feet. 447 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,380 This barren desert land has been home to the Zuni 448 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,960 for at least 1,300 years. 449 00:21:27,060 --> 00:21:29,960 Stretching roughly 700 square miles, 450 00:21:30,060 --> 00:21:33,060 it contains literally thousands of ancient carvings 451 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,400 that most outsiders have never laid eyes on. 452 00:21:37,500 --> 00:21:40,400 And the Zuni claim that some of these petroglyphs 453 00:21:40,500 --> 00:21:44,840 depict visitations from star beings. 454 00:21:44,940 --> 00:21:47,280 To the Zuni people and other tribes, 455 00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:49,380 there's a spiritual connection. 456 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,400 With the star beings, they're the ones that actually 457 00:21:53,500 --> 00:21:57,240 rule the universe or the world that we're on. 458 00:21:57,340 --> 00:22:00,180 If you look at the petroglyphs, there's a lot of references 459 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,480 to those type of entities. 460 00:22:03,580 --> 00:22:07,220 There is definitely evidence that aliens visited North America 461 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:08,860 in a distant past. 462 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,520 And there are petroglyphs throughout this part of the country 463 00:22:11,620 --> 00:22:15,060 carved by ancient Americans that depict just that. 464 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,060 In 2013, ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio Suclos 465 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,760 traveled to New Mexico to meet with Zuni elder Clifford 466 00:22:23,860 --> 00:22:29,060 Mahudi and get an exclusive look at this mysterious rock art. 467 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,400 What can you tell me about this petroglyph right here? 468 00:22:32,500 --> 00:22:36,400 You know, if you can see on top of that where maybe a head 469 00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,140 would be, it's kind of eroded off. 470 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,340 But on the next part of it, there's work on the part 471 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,840 that's going to be carved. 472 00:22:42,900 --> 00:22:45,360 But on the next part of it, there's work on parmes, 473 00:22:45,460 --> 00:22:48,300 like extension of something sticking out. 474 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,640 Yeah, almost like legs. 475 00:22:49,740 --> 00:22:52,200 It could be something that they saw in the air. 476 00:22:52,300 --> 00:22:53,000 Mm-hmm. 477 00:22:55,200 --> 00:23:00,140 Isn't there a legend that beings visited on top of this mountain? 478 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,640 Oh, yes. 479 00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:04,820 On all of the mesas. 480 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,220 Look at the triangle up there. 481 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,820 And you've got the dots around that have been carved 482 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,720 into the rock. 483 00:23:10,820 --> 00:23:12,360 They remind me like stars. 484 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,420 In conjunction with all the stories of star people 485 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,960 descending from the sky in fiery shields and things like this, 486 00:23:20,060 --> 00:23:23,660 when I see a pattern like that, I always 487 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,460 think, what if this is something that they saw, 488 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,760 and then they carved onto a rock? 489 00:23:30,860 --> 00:23:33,860 For something like this that they saw maybe in the sky 490 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,060 or had an encounter, they would come over and say, well, 491 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,860 it looked like this. 492 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,720 So they would put on there. 493 00:23:40,780 --> 00:23:43,640 They said, well, the best time I recollection 494 00:23:43,740 --> 00:23:44,740 here is what it looked like. 495 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:45,920 So they would put it on there. 496 00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:47,820 So this is their permanent record. 497 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,680 Right. 498 00:23:48,780 --> 00:23:50,880 Oh, no, that is why stone was used. 499 00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:54,320 It is the only permanent record that we have. 500 00:23:54,420 --> 00:23:55,320 Yes. 501 00:23:55,420 --> 00:24:00,980 And the thing about it is that how does it connect to present day? 502 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,420 I mean, there are certain things out here 503 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,580 where you can look at it. 504 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,680 OK, for example, the UFO. 505 00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:10,580 We didn't know anything about UFOs until the last century. 506 00:24:10,580 --> 00:24:12,680 But all those years, they knew about them. 507 00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:13,680 They saw them. 508 00:24:13,780 --> 00:24:17,540 They said, OK, I'm going to put this down there for longevity. 509 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,280 And they say, grandson, I want to show you 510 00:24:19,380 --> 00:24:21,780 what I saw when I was a young man. 511 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,220 And they'll come over and say, that's exactly what I saw. 512 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,680 And here's what it looked like. 513 00:24:27,780 --> 00:24:30,660 Is it possible that these ancient rock carvings 514 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,420 in remote areas of the Zuni territory 515 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,560 provide a historical record of extraterrestrial contact? 516 00:24:40,660 --> 00:24:43,180 You can find petroglyphs that are similar to those 517 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,660 in the Zuni territory all throughout North America. 518 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,920 And surprisingly, nearly identical drawings 519 00:24:50,020 --> 00:24:52,960 can be found on the other side of the planet. 520 00:24:57,060 --> 00:25:00,960 Brisbane Water National Park, New South Wales, Australia. 521 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,440 The Bulgarian Preservation Site is one of numerous sacred 522 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:10,940 indigenous locations where ancient rock art and engravings 523 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:12,800 can be found. 524 00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:15,680 Many are believed to date back thousands of years. 525 00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:23,420 In February 2016, researcher and publisher 526 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,480 George O'Souklos traveled to Australia 527 00:25:26,580 --> 00:25:29,760 to meet with Aboriginal elder Kevin Gavi Duncan 528 00:25:29,860 --> 00:25:32,120 to learn about one of the oldest carvings that 529 00:25:32,220 --> 00:25:33,120 can be found here. 530 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,500 So what are we looking at here? 531 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,940 So this image is an actual image of what we say 532 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,340 is our godfather creator being Bayami. 533 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,920 And that's what our people believe. 534 00:25:50,020 --> 00:25:51,280 OK. 535 00:25:51,380 --> 00:25:55,280 Bayami came from a place that we call the morning star 536 00:25:55,380 --> 00:25:56,980 within the mirror bukkah. 537 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,220 Mirror means stars, and bukkah means river. 538 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,520 It is the milky way that flows across the night sky. 539 00:26:03,620 --> 00:26:04,520 Hitting, OK. 540 00:26:07,500 --> 00:26:10,800 And so he is one of those sky heroes that has descended 541 00:26:10,900 --> 00:26:11,900 from the milky way? 542 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,400 Yes. 543 00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:17,300 He's a sky hero. 544 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,740 And Bayami is carved in the manner of just see them. 545 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:22,880 And he has his arms out. 546 00:26:22,980 --> 00:26:28,480 And he holds the moon in one hand, 547 00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:31,320 and the morning star in the other. 548 00:26:31,420 --> 00:26:36,020 It is a bit like what we call planet Earth. 549 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,880 And these are the two moons which exist around the morning 550 00:26:39,980 --> 00:26:45,220 star in the mirror bukkah that Bayami came from. 551 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,380 And this is the canoe. 552 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,420 He sailed through the river of life in the mirror bukkah. 553 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,260 Across the sky. 554 00:26:54,360 --> 00:26:55,460 He sailed through the milky way. 555 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:55,960 Yes. 556 00:26:56,060 --> 00:26:59,200 He sailed through the milky way. 557 00:26:59,300 --> 00:27:03,800 And this was his vessel that he sailed and landed to the Earth. 558 00:27:06,100 --> 00:27:07,620 And he crushed the top of the mountain, 559 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,980 which is the sacred mountain of Mount Yango, not far from here. 560 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,320 When he landed, they said the fire came from his feet. 561 00:27:17,420 --> 00:27:19,220 And they burnt the top of the mountain 562 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,320 and all around it every time he landed. 563 00:27:21,420 --> 00:27:23,160 So the landings were always associated 564 00:27:23,260 --> 00:27:25,320 with another noise, smoke, and fire. 565 00:27:25,420 --> 00:27:27,560 Yes. 566 00:27:27,660 --> 00:27:30,960 The fire trail that was left when Bayami was leaving 567 00:27:31,060 --> 00:27:33,140 the top of the mountain into the sky world, 568 00:27:33,260 --> 00:27:37,100 when Bayami had left was so bright. 569 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,800 People interpret that as a spaceship of some kind. 570 00:27:39,900 --> 00:27:40,300 Yeah. 571 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,400 It's common and gone. 572 00:27:42,500 --> 00:27:46,740 But this is the way we simply interpret Bayami's spaceship. 573 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:47,440 Right. 574 00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:51,240 But it's because the vocabulary didn't exist at the time. 575 00:27:51,340 --> 00:27:54,980 So to me, those are all wonderfully poetic ways 576 00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:00,660 to describe eyewitness accounts of things that were incredible. 577 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:01,900 Yes. 578 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,360 This site is considered around 8,000 to 10,000 years old. 579 00:28:08,460 --> 00:28:12,860 These carvings, these rock paintings, these are our books. 580 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,140 They are considered to be basically truth. 581 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,880 Do the petroglyphs found in Australia and North America 582 00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:27,320 tell the same story of alien visitation? 583 00:28:27,340 --> 00:28:31,680 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest 584 00:28:31,780 --> 00:28:35,320 that another series of rock carvings found in Australia 585 00:28:35,420 --> 00:28:39,680 may reveal the truth about how these otherworldly visitors 586 00:28:39,780 --> 00:28:41,660 arrived on planet Earth. 587 00:28:45,420 --> 00:28:49,220 On ancient aliens, we've examined glyphs all over the world. 588 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,780 And we find strikingly similar imagery again and again. 589 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,340 But what was completely unexpected 590 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,940 was the discovery of what are clearly Egyptian hieroglyphs, 591 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,820 not in Egypt, but in Australia. 592 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:09,180 Central Coast, New South Wales, Australia. 593 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,020 Deep in the Brisbane Water National Park 594 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:17,100 is a mysterious site known as the Gosford Glyphs. 595 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,860 The site consists of two massive 8-foot high walls 596 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,060 engraved with over 300 ancient carvings. 597 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:30,060 Carvings that experts say do not resemble indigenous artwork, 598 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,360 but Egyptian hieroglyphs. 599 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,940 After deciphering the texts, 21st century Egyptologist Ray 600 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,740 Johnson believed them to reveal the burial site of Lord 601 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,780 Nefertiru, a member of the Egyptian royal family who 602 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,900 died while visiting the area with his brother sometime 603 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,840 between 2637 and 2614 BC. 604 00:30:05,980 --> 00:30:07,180 Absolutely beautiful out here. 605 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,120 Oh, and on it. 606 00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:12,720 While visiting the area in 2016, 607 00:30:12,820 --> 00:30:16,420 George Yosuclos met with local ancient astronaut theorist 608 00:30:16,460 --> 00:30:19,120 Evan Strong to get a firsthand look 609 00:30:19,220 --> 00:30:21,560 at these enigmatic carvings. 610 00:30:21,660 --> 00:30:22,060 Wow. 611 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,760 Wow. 612 00:30:24,860 --> 00:30:25,600 That's incredible. 613 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:29,660 I had no idea. 614 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:34,340 I mean, this looks totally different than on pictures. 615 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,600 So what do these hieroglyphs say? 616 00:30:36,700 --> 00:30:40,480 Well, at least one panel talks about two brothers, 617 00:30:40,580 --> 00:30:42,640 two princes, coming here from Egypt. 618 00:30:42,740 --> 00:30:44,020 They were shipwrecked. 619 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,120 One of them ended up getting bitten by a snake. 620 00:30:46,220 --> 00:30:47,380 He then died. 621 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,320 The fear is then he was interred here. 622 00:30:49,420 --> 00:30:51,360 And that's why you've got Pyrogos here, 623 00:30:51,460 --> 00:30:54,220 because he died here. 624 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:57,600 But there's these other walls with a mixture of symbols. 625 00:30:57,700 --> 00:31:01,500 This one over here, it's more of a philosophical, 626 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,400 astrophysics-style thing with symbols 627 00:31:04,500 --> 00:31:08,100 meaning all sorts of esoteric stuff. 628 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,240 Now, have these symbols had all been 629 00:31:10,340 --> 00:31:12,880 interpreted by Egyptologists? 630 00:31:12,940 --> 00:31:15,400 There's been a few, actually. 631 00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,640 A few different people have done that. 632 00:31:17,740 --> 00:31:18,880 What was their reaction? 633 00:31:18,980 --> 00:31:20,980 Well, Raymond Johnson was one of the first people 634 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,880 to come here and translate. 635 00:31:23,980 --> 00:31:26,680 He actually sent some of these translations off 636 00:31:26,780 --> 00:31:28,660 to the Cairo Library. 637 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,560 And Dr. Aboudia Ghazi ended up saying, yep, 638 00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:34,320 you're on the right track. 639 00:31:34,420 --> 00:31:35,960 Something called proto-Egyptian. 640 00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:38,300 And how old do you reckon these are? 641 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,000 We're thinking because of the prevalence at least 642 00:31:41,060 --> 00:31:46,460 of one panel of proto-Egyptian that it's about 4,600 years old. 643 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:47,900 Wow. 644 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,260 Are there any hieroglyphs that stand out to you? 645 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,200 Yeah, definitely. 646 00:31:51,300 --> 00:31:53,600 Follow me down here, and I'll show you this other one. 647 00:31:57,300 --> 00:31:59,840 So this one here, we call the UFO glyph. 648 00:31:59,940 --> 00:32:02,280 And people have called that since it's been coming here, 649 00:32:02,380 --> 00:32:04,080 because it kind of looks like a UFO. 650 00:32:04,180 --> 00:32:06,480 It definitely has the classic UFO shape. 651 00:32:06,580 --> 00:32:10,080 It's got the rays or whatever you want to call it. 652 00:32:11,860 --> 00:32:14,460 What would you suggest if anyone says, well, this is not a UFO. 653 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,960 It's some other symbol that's certainly not that. 654 00:32:18,060 --> 00:32:19,700 I think that someone suggested it's jewelry, 655 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,500 but it's a completely different symbol that's upside down. 656 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,400 And it really doesn't quite fit in. 657 00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:28,940 It's one of those symbols here that doesn't fit into the cannon. 658 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,740 In your opinion, why do you think the Egyptians made it 659 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,240 all the way to Australia? 660 00:32:33,340 --> 00:32:36,820 I think they were looking for esoteric wisdom, definitely. 661 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:37,920 From the Aboriginals? 662 00:32:38,020 --> 00:32:38,820 Yes. 663 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,300 The ancient Egyptians, we have stories and Aboriginal stories 664 00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,600 about their arrival and about their visits, 665 00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:53,000 long before Europeans had arrived here. 666 00:32:53,100 --> 00:32:56,580 Naturally, we would have shared ceremony with these people, 667 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,720 because they have the same similar beliefs as our people. 668 00:33:01,820 --> 00:33:04,980 Egyptians have that same spiritual connection 669 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:06,220 to the sky world. 670 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,680 Hieroglyphs found in Australia? 671 00:33:09,780 --> 00:33:12,720 Might the continent have actually served as a pilgrimage 672 00:33:12,820 --> 00:33:15,960 site for visitors seeking a direct connection 673 00:33:16,060 --> 00:33:18,560 to the so-called gods? 674 00:33:18,660 --> 00:33:21,860 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 675 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,200 and suggest further evidence of this otherworldly link 676 00:33:25,300 --> 00:33:29,140 can be found in one of the most remote places in the world. 677 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,000 What's fascinating about many of the glyphs we've examined 678 00:33:32,100 --> 00:33:35,440 on ancient aliens is that they depict the natural world 679 00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:39,480 of our ancestors with extreme accuracy. 680 00:33:39,580 --> 00:33:41,280 But every now and then, we find a bird that 681 00:33:41,380 --> 00:33:45,620 looks more like an airplane, or a serpent with wings, 682 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,220 or even a turtle with wings. 683 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,020 And that's what we're looking for. 684 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,820 We're looking for a place where we can find 685 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,520 a bird that looks more like an airplane, or a serpent with wings, 686 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:01,280 or even a turtle descending from the sky. 687 00:34:01,380 --> 00:34:04,420 And this is exactly what I found at one of the most 688 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,720 remote locations in the world, the Marquesas Islands. 689 00:34:09,820 --> 00:34:15,060 The South Pacific Ocean, June 2018. 690 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,360 Ancient astronaut theorists, George Osukilos and David 691 00:34:18,460 --> 00:34:22,700 Childress, set out to explore the remote Marquesas Islands 692 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,900 in search of evidence that extraterrestrial contact took 693 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,200 place here in the remote past. 694 00:34:29,300 --> 00:34:30,100 Hello. 695 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:31,000 Hello. 696 00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:31,800 I'm Giorgio. 697 00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:32,600 Pleasure to meet you. 698 00:34:32,700 --> 00:34:33,700 I'm Anyata. 699 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:34,300 Hi. 700 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:35,400 I'm David. 701 00:34:35,500 --> 00:34:37,800 Arriving on the island of Nukohiva, 702 00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:41,100 they are met by local guide, Anyata Kimateta. 703 00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:42,180 Let's go explore. 704 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:42,880 Great. 705 00:34:42,980 --> 00:34:43,480 All right. 706 00:34:46,780 --> 00:34:50,080 She has brought them to an area known as Kamuihe, 707 00:34:50,180 --> 00:34:53,520 a sacred place believed to be rich in what the natives call 708 00:34:53,580 --> 00:34:55,440 mana, or spiritual power. 709 00:34:57,940 --> 00:35:01,180 So we are arriving at this spot where I really 710 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:02,880 wanted to show you about the site. 711 00:35:02,980 --> 00:35:05,520 Oh, look at this. 712 00:35:05,620 --> 00:35:08,920 What we see here, it's what we call petroglyphs. 713 00:35:09,020 --> 00:35:09,760 Yeah. 714 00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:11,860 So you have three turtles. 715 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:16,760 So one, two, three, here. 716 00:35:16,860 --> 00:35:20,500 And also on the rock, you can see a canoe. 717 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,500 OK. 718 00:35:21,580 --> 00:35:24,300 So you have the head of the canoe here that 719 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,340 looks a little bit like a bird. 720 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,140 Their canoes had a bird head at the front. 721 00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:30,540 You see the beak? 722 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:31,940 Yeah, that looks like a bird head. 723 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,040 Yeah. 724 00:35:33,140 --> 00:35:35,620 And what is the significance of the turtles? 725 00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:40,120 The turtle is actually the messenger from the gods. 726 00:35:40,220 --> 00:35:42,060 He was a very sacred animal. 727 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:45,260 People were not allowed to eat them. 728 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,100 You know, I think this is really interesting what 729 00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,300 you said that the turtle is regarded here 730 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,900 as a messenger of the gods, because this is not something 731 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,100 new. 732 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,400 It's not something native to this area. 733 00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:57,940 There are other parts of the world 734 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,540 where the turtle is described by having descended 735 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,080 from the sky. 736 00:36:03,180 --> 00:36:05,940 And the idea that this is here, too, 737 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,980 considered a messenger of the gods, that to me, 738 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,360 is a connection to potential extraterrestrials. 739 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,400 Throughout the planet, numerous ancient cultures 740 00:36:18,460 --> 00:36:22,500 have origin stories that involve some sort of divine or cosmic 741 00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,460 turtle. 742 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,500 Followers of Japanese Shinto venerate the Kamiishi, 743 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:33,040 a stone turtle that portends the end of the world. 744 00:36:33,140 --> 00:36:37,380 In Guatemala, there are legends of giant flying turtles 745 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,480 and even artifacts that feature the image of a man wearing 746 00:36:40,580 --> 00:36:46,020 what appears to be a helmet lying inside a turtle shell. 747 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,940 In North America, the Iroquois Indians 748 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,180 tell tales of a sky goddess who falls to Earth 749 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,620 from the heavens, where upon a giant turtle rises up 750 00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:57,220 from the ocean to catch her. 751 00:37:00,220 --> 00:37:03,020 I think it's interesting here, this canoe, which would have 752 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,700 been very large, has the bird head on it. 753 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,460 And you have the birdmen of Easter Island 754 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,000 that are so famous. 755 00:37:12,100 --> 00:37:14,600 One of Easter Island's ancient traditions 756 00:37:14,660 --> 00:37:19,660 involves tengata mono, or the birdman cult. 757 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,460 According to legend, the creator god, Makimaki, 758 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,500 was looking in a mirror and saw a bird land on his shoulder. 759 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,000 Seeing his image combined with the bird, 760 00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:34,940 he decided to make a son who was half man, half bird. 761 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,340 In turn, the Rapa Nui people of Easter Island 762 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,680 worship the birdman as the predecessor of all humans. 763 00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:47,640 One of the central focuses of the rituals, the annual rituals, 764 00:37:47,740 --> 00:37:55,180 at Easter Island was that of tengata mono, the birdman. 765 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,380 And the birdman is a universal symbol 766 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,420 that we find in many parts of the globe that 767 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:06,220 relates to ancestry associated with figures, 768 00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,960 characters in feather coats, who were seen to be 769 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,840 able to go between this world and the next. 770 00:38:14,940 --> 00:38:20,140 And here we have these same ideas on Easter Island. 771 00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:21,840 Is there more to see on the island? 772 00:38:21,940 --> 00:38:24,240 We have a lot more to see on the island. 773 00:38:24,340 --> 00:38:25,040 OK. 774 00:38:25,140 --> 00:38:26,040 So let's go. 775 00:38:26,140 --> 00:38:27,040 OK. 776 00:38:27,140 --> 00:38:30,280 After showing Giorgio and David the ancient petroglyphs, 777 00:38:30,380 --> 00:38:34,220 Anyata takes them to a site that is some of the most striking 778 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,220 statuary in the Marquesas. 779 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,720 Right now, we are at the top of the island 780 00:38:39,740 --> 00:38:40,980 of the Tohua of Temerreia. 781 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,580 So the Tohua is the gathering place. 782 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:47,560 And so this sculpture here is a modern sculpture. 783 00:38:47,660 --> 00:38:51,660 But is this based on something old? 784 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,160 Yes, because the site that we are on was rebuilt. 785 00:38:55,260 --> 00:38:57,200 Even though it's modern, it's really 786 00:38:57,300 --> 00:38:59,160 based on the original statue. 787 00:38:59,260 --> 00:38:59,900 Oh, wow. 788 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:00,600 OK. 789 00:39:00,700 --> 00:39:02,600 Does this consider the tiki? 790 00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:05,940 Yes, these tiki represent the population. 791 00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,240 So to the Marquesan people, what is a tiki? 792 00:39:09,300 --> 00:39:12,340 A tiki, at first, was the representation 793 00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,140 of our god of magic and sorcery. 794 00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:18,300 He was one of the only god in French Polynesia 795 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,340 that has the face of a man. 796 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,420 He became our protector, because when you have a tiki 797 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,380 by your side, then you're protected from your enemy. 798 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,120 In the Marquesas, the word tiki can 799 00:39:33,220 --> 00:39:35,760 be used to refer both to an ancestral figure that 800 00:39:35,860 --> 00:39:38,420 came to the islands in ancient times, 801 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,180 as well as the statues that represent him. 802 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,320 They are variously carved in both wood and stone 803 00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:50,380 and often depict a being with large, gaga-like eyes. 804 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,420 And this is what tiki looks like? 805 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:55,760 Yes, because they say in the legend 806 00:39:55,860 --> 00:39:58,660 that when tiki left the earth, they 807 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,460 made the sculpture of how he looked like, 808 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,000 just to have something to remember from tiki. 809 00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:07,600 So that's how he looked like, actually. 810 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,360 It looks very strange to me. 811 00:40:10,460 --> 00:40:15,200 This is a representation of what your ancestors thought 812 00:40:15,300 --> 00:40:17,600 this figure looked like. 813 00:40:17,700 --> 00:40:19,040 It doesn't look like a man. 814 00:40:19,140 --> 00:40:20,740 It looks weird. 815 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,500 Yeah, I mean, he sort of looks like a man, 816 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,080 but with these big, gaga-like eyes 817 00:40:26,180 --> 00:40:28,740 and the elongated head and everything, 818 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,680 he looks like an extraterrestrial. 819 00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:35,720 Is it possible that glyphs found on nearly every continent 820 00:40:35,780 --> 00:40:39,040 reveal that ancient people all over the world 821 00:40:39,140 --> 00:40:42,680 encountered extraterrestrial visitors? 822 00:40:42,780 --> 00:40:45,020 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 823 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,960 that some rock art provides a record not only of alien contact, 824 00:40:50,060 --> 00:40:52,060 but even of how they got here. 825 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,860 Could these mysterious petroglyphs 826 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,040 provide the best evidence yet of ancient alien contact? 827 00:41:02,140 --> 00:41:04,400 To me, the ultimate proof lies in the fact 828 00:41:04,460 --> 00:41:07,220 that all over the world, cultures that were separated 829 00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:11,200 by thousands of miles carved the same strange figures 830 00:41:11,300 --> 00:41:14,600 and symbols again and again, leaving us 831 00:41:14,700 --> 00:41:18,540 with a record of extraterrestrial intervention on Earth. 832 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:23,440 Our alien origins are in plain sight for anyone to see. 833 00:41:23,540 --> 00:41:27,580 You only need to read the writing on the wall.
