00:00:00,792 --> 00:00:02,127
When I was a
2
00:00:02,127 --> 00:00:04,046
kid, I would just,
3
00:00:04,046 --> 00:00:06,131
out of nowhere,
start saying things.
4
00:00:06,131 --> 00:00:08,634
Things like,
"Mom, in my last life
5
00:00:08,634 --> 00:00:10,260
I was shot down and killed."
6
00:00:13,180 --> 00:00:15,849
BOB GOOD:
Suzanne Ghanem identified
7
00:00:15,849 --> 00:00:19,603
25 different relatives
of her prior life.
8
00:00:19,603 --> 00:00:21,313
And their relationship.
9
00:00:22,981 --> 00:00:25,651
RAMY ROMANY: There was
literally no explanation
10
00:00:25,651 --> 00:00:30,155
of how Om Seti knew the things
she knew,
11
00:00:30,155 --> 00:00:34,243
of how she understood
the ancient language,
12
00:00:34,243 --> 00:00:39,706
how she predicted the placement
of ruins under the ground.
13
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:42,626
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
You have thousands of reports
14
00:00:42,626 --> 00:00:44,586
of reincarnation.
15
00:00:44,586 --> 00:00:48,048
So one has to wonder whether
there is something behind that.
16
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:50,717
WILLIAM HENRY: Did
extraterrestrials come to Earth
17
00:00:50,717 --> 00:00:54,137
and tweak the human body to
serve as a vehicle for the soul?
18
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:55,347
And if so,
19
00:00:55,347 --> 00:00:57,391
what is the purpose?

Lafayette, Louisiana.
23
00:01:34,261 --> 00:01:36,054
2001.
24
00:01:40,475 --> 00:01:43,270
Aside from having an unusual
obsession with airplanes
25
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:45,647
and World War II,
26
00:01:45,647 --> 00:01:48,191
James Leininger was,
by all accounts,
27
00:01:48,191 --> 00:01:51,111
a normal three‐year‐old.
28
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:53,238
That is, before he began having
29
00:01:53,238 --> 00:01:55,991
‐(gunfire)
‐a strange recurring nightmare.
30
00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:05,500
I would have these nightmares,
31
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:08,628
and it would be just me
kicking and screaming,
32
00:02:08,628 --> 00:02:11,340
me with my legs
physically in the air,
33
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:13,175
kicking up at the
ceiling, screaming,
34
00:02:13,175 --> 00:02:16,470
"Plane crash on fire,
little man can't get out."
35
00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:21,058
And that was every night
for almost a year.
36
00:02:21,058 --> 00:02:25,854
And then I would just, out of
nowhere, start saying things.
37
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:29,274
Things like
"Mom, in my last life
38
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:31,109
I was shot down and killed."
39
00:02:34,363 --> 00:02:36,156
NARRATOR:
James would draw elaborate
40
00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:38,659
airplane dogfight scenes.
41
00:02:38,659 --> 00:02:41,787
He also seemed to have an eerie
and inexplicable knowledge
42
00:02:41,787 --> 00:02:44,331
of World War II aircraft,
43
00:02:44,331 --> 00:02:47,417
right down to their components.
44
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:52,089
This is a drawing I did when
I was, when I was much younger.
45
00:02:52,089 --> 00:02:56,635
And this is one of the ones
I signed "James 3."
46
00:02:56,635 --> 00:03:01,056
My dad asked me one day,
"Why do you sign it 'James 3'?"
47
00:03:01,056 --> 00:03:03,183
And I just turned to him
and simply said,
48
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:04,935
"'Cause I'm the third James."
49
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:07,896
I was the junior, junior.
50
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:10,691
And then, one day,
my father asked me
51
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:13,151
the name of the ship that
I was on and I said, "Natoma."
52
00:03:16,279 --> 00:03:18,448
NARRATOR:
After doing some research,
53
00:03:18,448 --> 00:03:22,077
James' father found that
there was, in fact,
54
00:03:22,077 --> 00:03:28,291
an aircraft carrier named
the USS Natoma Bay (CVE 62).
55
00:03:28,291 --> 00:03:31,086
The boy could also
indicate on a map
56
00:03:31,086 --> 00:03:33,171
the exact location
of where the plane
57
00:03:33,171 --> 00:03:35,757
he claimed to be flying
went down.
58
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:40,178
‐(plane crashes)
‐In Chichijima, Japan.
59
00:03:40,178 --> 00:03:43,473
LEININGER: Eventually, my father
found a ship roster.
60
00:03:43,473 --> 00:03:45,350
And they went down the line
61
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:48,145
and saw names that they
had recognized that I had said.
62
00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:49,729
And then they came to James.
63
00:03:49,729 --> 00:03:51,481
James McCready Huston.
64
00:03:51,481 --> 00:03:53,275
‐(weapons firing)
‐This man was killed
65
00:03:53,275 --> 00:03:57,529
when he was shot down
over the island Chichijima.
66
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:03,952
NARRATOR:
While James Leininger's memories
67
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:07,956
of his so‐called past life
remained vivid in his youth,
68
00:04:07,956 --> 00:04:11,042
they began to fade
as he became an adult.
69
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:16,506
But what he is able to remember
still brings back
70
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:18,341
powerful emotions.
71
00:04:20,177 --> 00:04:23,138
LEININGER:
My memories of James Huston
72
00:04:23,138 --> 00:04:26,850
and the things that he underwent
73
00:04:26,850 --> 00:04:31,396
have mostly all but gone.
74
00:04:31,396 --> 00:04:34,357
I can remember
this one snapshot.
75
00:04:34,357 --> 00:04:36,568
You...
76
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:38,236
(voice breaking):
I'm sorry.
77
00:04:38,236 --> 00:04:43,950
And you hear, you just hear
this, this crackling.
78
00:04:43,950 --> 00:04:48,622
And it's just this loud banging
and this distant just...
79
00:04:48,622 --> 00:04:50,457
(imitates explosions)
80
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:54,294
And you can see these black dots
in the sky.
81
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:57,506
You look up.
82
00:04:57,506 --> 00:05:00,717
And eventually you see this
plane start to come down.
83
00:05:05,096 --> 00:05:07,766
And it hits the water.
84
00:05:07,766 --> 00:05:09,601
And it's black after that.
85
00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:14,314
You don't hear anything.
You don't see anything.
86
00:05:14,314 --> 00:05:17,567
It's just... it's done.
87
00:05:20,529 --> 00:05:22,614
NARRATOR:
Although mainstream science
88
00:05:22,614 --> 00:05:26,034
widely dismisses the concept
of reincarnation,
89
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:29,079
leading academic institutions,
90
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:30,914
such as
the University of Virginia,
91
00:05:30,914 --> 00:05:33,083
Duke University,
92
00:05:33,083 --> 00:05:35,585
and the University
of British Columbia,
93
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:39,297
have entire departments
devoted to its study.
94
00:05:39,297 --> 00:05:40,715
And,
according to their research,
95
00:05:40,715 --> 00:05:44,636
a mounting body
of evidence suggests
96
00:05:44,636 --> 00:05:47,722
that the ability of some
to vividly recall past lives
97
00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:51,601
may, in fact,
be a real occurrence.
98
00:05:51,601 --> 00:05:56,022
TSOUKALOS:
You have thousands of reports.
99
00:05:56,022 --> 00:06:01,152
So one has to wonder whether
there is something behind that.
100
00:06:01,152 --> 00:06:06,324
There are studies that have been
made on these things,
101
00:06:06,324 --> 00:06:11,580
and I wonder how long it'll be
until mainstream science
102
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:15,542
agrees with the idea
that something happens to us
103
00:06:15,542 --> 00:06:17,419
after death.
104
00:06:20,338 --> 00:06:24,509
The basic idea of reincarnation
is that, upon your death,
105
00:06:24,509 --> 00:06:28,889
your soul departs your body.
106
00:06:28,889 --> 00:06:32,767
You go to your version of heaven
107
00:06:32,767 --> 00:06:36,396
and then you come down
into a new body.
108
00:06:36,396 --> 00:06:39,357
An easy way to understand this
109
00:06:39,357 --> 00:06:42,110
is that you can upload files
from your computer
110
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:43,653
to the cloud
111
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:46,239
and then download files
to a new computer.
112
00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:51,328
NARRATOR: But while scientists
are just beginning
113
00:06:51,328 --> 00:06:53,872
to entertain the notion
that reincarnation
114
00:06:53,872 --> 00:06:55,457
may be a real occurrence,
115
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:59,252
the idea of a soul
leaving one human body
116
00:06:59,252 --> 00:07:03,548
and entering another can be
traced back thousands of years,
117
00:07:03,548 --> 00:07:06,676
to the very beginning
of Egyptian civilization.
118
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:14,017
Turin, Italy.
119
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:18,980
On display at
the Egyptian Museum
120
00:07:18,980 --> 00:07:22,942
is the Turin King List,
or Royal Canon,
121
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:26,946
which dates back
to the 13th century BC.
122
00:07:29,824 --> 00:07:31,951
The papyrus includes a list
123
00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:34,913
detailing the
ancient Egyptian rulers,
124
00:07:34,913 --> 00:07:39,709
extending back to the very start
of Egyptian civilization.
125
00:07:39,709 --> 00:07:43,046
We see all the timelines,
and all the kings were there,
126
00:07:43,046 --> 00:07:44,506
but the first two groups
of names
127
00:07:44,506 --> 00:07:47,884
on that list...
128
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:49,719
were gods,
129
00:07:49,719 --> 00:07:51,846
the gods of Egypt,
130
00:07:51,846 --> 00:07:56,518
who they believed ruled
before the kings.
131
00:07:59,771 --> 00:08:02,190
NARRATOR:
Although scholars fully accept
132
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:05,610
the chronology from the rule
of King Menes onward,
133
00:08:05,610 --> 00:08:11,408
they discount the time before
his reign around 3000 BC,
134
00:08:11,408 --> 00:08:15,161
a time when these alleged gods
ruled over Egypt.
135
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:18,873
One of the first names
to be found on the list
136
00:08:18,873 --> 00:08:23,128
is the god Osiris.
137
00:08:23,128 --> 00:08:25,630
WILLIAM BRAMLEY: Osiris was
depicted as a human‐like god.
138
00:08:25,630 --> 00:08:28,258
He had human features.
139
00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:30,844
But one of the most curious
things about Osiris
140
00:08:30,844 --> 00:08:35,265
is that he was shown
with green skin.
141
00:08:35,265 --> 00:08:37,809
HENRY: Osiris is thought
to have come from
142
00:08:37,809 --> 00:08:41,062
the star system
Orion originally.
143
00:08:41,062 --> 00:08:44,190
And was part of a group
of extraterrestrials
144
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,484
that came to Earth.
145
00:08:48,361 --> 00:08:50,697
What's interesting about
the ancient Egyptian gods
146
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:52,949
is they could also die.
147
00:08:52,949 --> 00:08:55,076
They weren't
necessarily immortal.
148
00:08:55,076 --> 00:08:59,039
And when the god Osiris died,
149
00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:02,584
centuries ago according
to Egyptian mythology,
150
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:04,878
he was reborn
151
00:09:04,878 --> 00:09:10,050
as his own son, Horus.
152
00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:15,847
And Horus became a physical
incarnation on Earth.
153
00:09:15,847 --> 00:09:19,100
And it is believed
by the ancient Egyptians
154
00:09:19,100 --> 00:09:23,646
that all the pharaohs became
gods incarnate.
155
00:09:23,646 --> 00:09:28,151
And once one particular
pharaoh died,
156
00:09:28,151 --> 00:09:33,990
the spirit would then go
into the next pharaoh.
157
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:36,284
And so on, and so on.
158
00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:41,873
So this, this cycle
of reincarnation continued.
159
00:09:41,873 --> 00:09:44,084
In the ancient Egyptian
creation mythology,
160
00:09:44,084 --> 00:09:45,627
the god Ptah
161
00:09:45,627 --> 00:09:50,381
came from Sirius
and fashioned the human body.
162
00:09:50,381 --> 00:09:51,841
We have to ask the question:
163
00:09:51,841 --> 00:09:54,260
did extraterrestrials
come to Earth
164
00:09:54,260 --> 00:09:57,388
and tweak the human body to
serve as a vehicle for the soul?
165
00:10:02,644 --> 00:10:05,230
NARRATOR: If the stories
of the Egyptian gods
166
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:09,067
incarnating into human bodies
are true,
167
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:12,737
do all humans possess souls
that have been passed down
168
00:10:12,737 --> 00:10:14,864
from the beginning of mankind,
169
00:10:14,864 --> 00:10:16,241
and may have originated
170
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:19,327
beyond Earth?
171
00:10:19,327 --> 00:10:22,330
Perhaps further clues
can be found
172
00:10:22,330 --> 00:10:26,000
by examining recent case studies
into past lives
173
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,213
that scientists find
too remarkable to dismiss.

00:10:51,398 --> 00:10:55,110
making it one of the first
educational institutions
179
00:10:55,110 --> 00:11:00,157
to devote serious research
into the study of reincarnation.
180
00:11:00,157 --> 00:11:02,367
Over his 40‐year career,
181
00:11:02,367 --> 00:11:06,580
Dr. Stevenson extensively
studied more than 3,000 cases
182
00:11:06,580 --> 00:11:09,500
of individuals who reported
past life memories.
183
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:14,296
And he was able to objectively
validate the claims being made
184
00:11:14,296 --> 00:11:18,342
in an astounding
1,200 instances.
185
00:11:18,342 --> 00:11:20,552
The body of work
by Ian Stevenson
186
00:11:20,552 --> 00:11:22,304
is exceptionally credible.
187
00:11:22,304 --> 00:11:28,393
It's painstakingly documenting
instances of things
188
00:11:28,393 --> 00:11:30,938
that are suggestive
of reincarnation.
189
00:11:30,938 --> 00:11:34,316
Now, what makes a case credible
is that the person
190
00:11:34,316 --> 00:11:37,611
has specific knowledge that
they couldn't possibly have.
191
00:11:37,611 --> 00:11:40,656
NARRATOR:
Dr. Stevenson traveled
192
00:11:40,656 --> 00:11:42,157
throughout the world
to meet with people
193
00:11:42,157 --> 00:11:44,409
claiming to have knowledge
of their past lives.
194
00:11:44,409 --> 00:11:46,537
You are now fully relaxed.
195
00:11:46,537 --> 00:11:48,747
NARRATOR:
He used various methodologies,
196
00:11:48,747 --> 00:11:52,167
including hypnosis,
to obtain pertinent details
197
00:11:52,167 --> 00:11:54,378
from his subjects,
and then would set out
198
00:11:54,378 --> 00:11:57,589
to authenticate
and document the evidence.
199
00:11:57,589 --> 00:12:02,302
One of his most striking
case studies was Suzanne Ghanem,
200
00:12:02,302 --> 00:12:06,932
who was born in Richmond,
Virginia in 1963.
201
00:12:06,932 --> 00:12:11,019
She insisted from a young age
that in her previous life
202
00:12:11,019 --> 00:12:14,231
she had been Hanan Monsour,
a Lebanese women
203
00:12:14,231 --> 00:12:18,360
who had passed away just ten
days before Suzanne was born.
204
00:12:22,155 --> 00:12:25,284
At the age of two,
she shared with her parents
205
00:12:25,284 --> 00:12:28,161
the name of Hanan's husband
and her three children,
206
00:12:28,161 --> 00:12:32,332
and later scribbled a phone
number on a scrap of paper.
207
00:12:32,332 --> 00:12:34,668
Dr. Stevenson would discover
208
00:12:34,668 --> 00:12:37,796
that the number matched the
Monsours' home phone number,
209
00:12:37,796 --> 00:12:41,341
except that the last two digits
were reversed.
210
00:12:42,843 --> 00:12:45,012
GOOD:
Suzanne Ghanem
211
00:12:45,012 --> 00:12:48,015
holds the record
for being able to identify
212
00:12:48,015 --> 00:12:49,891
relatives of her prior life.
213
00:12:49,891 --> 00:12:52,477
She walked into a room
and identified
214
00:12:52,477 --> 00:12:56,440
25 different relatives by name
and their relationship.
215
00:12:59,359 --> 00:13:00,611
NARRATOR:
In another case study,
216
00:13:00,611 --> 00:13:03,071
Dr. Stevenson traveled to India
217
00:13:03,071 --> 00:13:06,617
to research the claims
of one of the most notorious
218
00:13:06,617 --> 00:13:09,494
reincarnations in the region.
219
00:13:09,494 --> 00:13:11,913
CHILDRESS:
There's the interesting case
220
00:13:11,913 --> 00:13:14,374
of Shanti Devi in India.
221
00:13:14,374 --> 00:13:19,588
She was born in 1926,
and at the age of four
222
00:13:19,588 --> 00:13:22,299
she began telling her parents
that she was
223
00:13:22,299 --> 00:13:24,885
the reincarnation
of this other woman
224
00:13:24,885 --> 00:13:27,262
from another town
called Mathura.
225
00:13:27,262 --> 00:13:30,390
NARRATOR:
Mathura is a small village
226
00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:35,103
over 100 miles away from
Shanti's hometown of Delhi.
227
00:13:35,103 --> 00:13:38,565
By the time Shanti Devi
was nine years old,
228
00:13:38,565 --> 00:13:41,568
she had convinced her parents
of her prior existence,
229
00:13:41,568 --> 00:13:45,280
and was put in contact
with her former family.
230
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,117
The young girl spoke directly
with the man she claimed
231
00:13:49,117 --> 00:13:52,162
she was married to
in her previous life.
232
00:13:52,162 --> 00:13:53,997
JASON MARTELL:
Shanti Devi
233
00:13:53,997 --> 00:13:56,208
gives very accurate information,
234
00:13:56,208 --> 00:13:59,461
knows exactly where she lived
in this past life,
235
00:13:59,461 --> 00:14:01,129
the names of people
in her family,
236
00:14:01,129 --> 00:14:02,881
her husband specifically.
237
00:14:02,881 --> 00:14:06,259
She eventually met this family
and her husband
238
00:14:06,259 --> 00:14:08,470
from a previous life,
and lo and behold,
239
00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:11,598
these people embraced her
and agreed
240
00:14:11,598 --> 00:14:15,102
that she is this lost relative
from another life.
241
00:14:15,102 --> 00:14:18,313
CHILDRESS: Eventually,
Mahatma Gandhi himself
242
00:14:18,313 --> 00:14:21,149
got involved
in this whole story.
243
00:14:21,149 --> 00:14:25,654
He had an investigation made,
and in 1936
244
00:14:25,654 --> 00:14:29,950
Gandhi himself said that he was
satisfied that she was
245
00:14:29,950 --> 00:14:33,078
the reincarnation
of this other woman.
246
00:14:36,498 --> 00:14:39,209
NARRATOR:
In some reincarnation cases,
247
00:14:39,209 --> 00:14:42,337
like that of an English woman
named Dorothy Eady,
248
00:14:42,337 --> 00:14:47,551
the past‐life recall went much
further back in history.
249
00:14:47,551 --> 00:14:51,263
As a young girl,
after a near‐death experience,
250
00:14:51,263 --> 00:14:55,183
she began recalling her life
as a temple virgin in Egypt
251
00:14:55,183 --> 00:14:59,187
during the reign of Seti I
in the 14th century BC.
252
00:15:01,398 --> 00:15:04,734
Eady eventually moved
to Abydos, Egypt,
253
00:15:04,734 --> 00:15:07,487
took on the name Om Seti,
254
00:15:07,487 --> 00:15:10,115
and became
a respected Egyptologist
255
00:15:10,115 --> 00:15:13,743
and the keeper
of the Temple of Seti.
256
00:15:13,743 --> 00:15:15,203
ROMANY:
It was all really interesting,
257
00:15:15,203 --> 00:15:18,081
because she was one of very few
258
00:15:18,081 --> 00:15:21,168
that perfected the ancient
Egyptian language.
259
00:15:21,168 --> 00:15:23,920
She could speak it.
260
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,214
I can translate.
261
00:15:26,214 --> 00:15:30,302
I can try to read,
but she could speak it.
262
00:15:30,302 --> 00:15:34,931
And she would go to the other
Egyptologists and tell them,
263
00:15:34,931 --> 00:15:38,143
the gardens of whatever
is down here.
264
00:15:38,143 --> 00:15:40,270
Dig here, you'll find it.
265
00:15:40,270 --> 00:15:44,733
And most thought
she was just crazy.
266
00:15:44,733 --> 00:15:47,569
But they dig and they find it.
267
00:15:47,569 --> 00:15:49,613
She had the information.
268
00:15:49,613 --> 00:15:52,491
She knew things
no one else would know.
269
00:15:52,491 --> 00:15:56,453
There was literally
no explanation
270
00:15:56,453 --> 00:16:00,248
of how she knew
the things she knew,
271
00:16:00,248 --> 00:16:06,046
of how she understood
the language,
272
00:16:06,046 --> 00:16:11,760
how she predicted the placement
of ruins under the ground.
273
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,514
I don't think anyone
up till today
274
00:16:15,514 --> 00:16:19,935
has an explanation of knowing
how she knew that,
275
00:16:19,935 --> 00:16:23,772
because she wasn't right once
and wrong three times.
276
00:16:23,772 --> 00:16:26,149
She was always right.
277
00:16:26,149 --> 00:16:28,360
Om Seti came back
278
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:33,240
with a very clear memory
of her past life,
279
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,869
specifically to find
her way back to Egypt,
280
00:16:37,869 --> 00:16:41,540
but also to educate us.
281
00:16:41,540 --> 00:16:45,669
When you'd see someone speaking
about their past life
282
00:16:45,669 --> 00:16:48,630
with such credibility,
such accuracy,
283
00:16:48,630 --> 00:16:53,510
this tells us that there is more
to it than this life.
284
00:16:53,510 --> 00:16:58,932
So, they are actually teaching
us about other worlds,
285
00:16:58,932 --> 00:17:02,477
other realities, and what we are
perhaps here to do.
286
00:17:04,813 --> 00:17:08,441
NARRATOR: Although Om Seti
made significant contributions
287
00:17:08,441 --> 00:17:11,570
to the study of ancient Egypt
and its people,
288
00:17:11,570 --> 00:17:14,781
it is her claim
to have been reincarnated
289
00:17:14,781 --> 00:17:18,243
that may be
her most important legacy.
290
00:17:18,243 --> 00:17:24,583
But if reincarnation
is proven to exist... why?
291
00:17:24,583 --> 00:17:29,212
And what does it reveal,
not only about our past lives,
292
00:17:29,212 --> 00:17:32,299
but also our future ones?
293
00:17:41,266 --> 00:17:45,896
NARRATOR: Valley of the Kings,
Luxor, Egypt.
294
00:17:45,896 --> 00:17:49,983
Opposite from the famous
burial chamber of King Tut
295
00:17:49,983 --> 00:17:53,945
is a small crypt: KV55.
296
00:17:53,945 --> 00:17:57,616
It is known only by a number,
297
00:17:57,616 --> 00:18:01,119
because even though it was
discovered over a century ago,
298
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,372
no one is certain
who was buried there.
299
00:18:04,372 --> 00:18:06,458
Initially, it was thought
to belong
300
00:18:06,458 --> 00:18:09,586
to King Tut's father, Akhenaten,
301
00:18:09,586 --> 00:18:12,130
but radiological examination
302
00:18:12,130 --> 00:18:16,635
suggested the body
belonged to a much younger man.
303
00:18:19,930 --> 00:18:24,684
This is it, KV55
in the Valley of the Kings,
304
00:18:24,684 --> 00:18:27,228
away from the public eye.
305
00:18:27,228 --> 00:18:31,316
Most Egyptologists
and archaeologists
306
00:18:31,316 --> 00:18:35,320
are baffled and have
a lot of questions.
307
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,697
Very little is known
about this tomb.
308
00:18:37,697 --> 00:18:39,282
Let's get in.
309
00:18:41,826 --> 00:18:45,413
One of the most common features
of all the tombs
310
00:18:45,413 --> 00:18:47,499
in the Valley of the Kings
311
00:18:47,499 --> 00:18:50,293
is the amount
of wall paintings on the tombs
312
00:18:50,293 --> 00:18:54,172
explaining everything
and telling the world
313
00:18:54,172 --> 00:18:56,841
that this is the tomb
of that king,
314
00:18:56,841 --> 00:18:59,010
and this is how great
that king is.
315
00:18:59,010 --> 00:19:00,637
But look at this tomb.
316
00:19:00,637 --> 00:19:04,057
Completely empty.
317
00:19:04,057 --> 00:19:06,643
NARRATOR:
In 1907,
318
00:19:06,643 --> 00:19:11,314
archaeologists allegedly found
an ominous curse on the wall,
319
00:19:11,314 --> 00:19:14,234
assuring that whoever occupied
this tomb
320
00:19:14,234 --> 00:19:17,862
would not return
in a subsequent life.
321
00:19:17,862 --> 00:19:19,990
When they first opened
this tomb,
322
00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:24,285
they found little remains
of hieroglyphics on this wall
323
00:19:24,285 --> 00:19:30,583
that says, "The evil one
should not live again."
324
00:19:32,877 --> 00:19:36,423
NARRATOR: Inside, archaeologists
found a coffin
325
00:19:36,423 --> 00:19:41,052
with the remains of a mummified
body with an elongated head.
326
00:19:41,052 --> 00:19:44,556
The right side of its skull
was smashed in.
327
00:19:44,556 --> 00:19:48,518
But perhaps the most striking
feature of the tomb
328
00:19:48,518 --> 00:19:51,938
is that, unlike all other tombs
in the valley,
329
00:19:51,938 --> 00:19:55,316
it was not built
to keep grave robbers out
330
00:19:55,316 --> 00:19:59,738
it was built specifically
to keep someone‐‐ or something‐‐
331
00:19:59,738 --> 00:20:02,365
trapped inside.
332
00:20:02,365 --> 00:20:05,910
This is the burial chamber
of the tomb.
333
00:20:05,910 --> 00:20:10,123
Right here is exactly where
the sarcophagus would have gone.
334
00:20:14,586 --> 00:20:20,633
And to north, south, east
and west of the sarcophagus,
335
00:20:20,633 --> 00:20:23,928
were the four
magical cardinal blocks
336
00:20:23,928 --> 00:20:29,017
that protects the tomb
from any intruders.
337
00:20:31,936 --> 00:20:35,774
This is a part
of some of the magical blocks
338
00:20:35,774 --> 00:20:40,570
that surrounded the sarcophagus.
339
00:20:40,570 --> 00:20:44,991
These rocks in every other tomb
had inscriptions on the outside,
340
00:20:44,991 --> 00:20:47,952
on the side facing the world,
341
00:20:47,952 --> 00:20:51,915
so it protects the tomb from
the world, except for this tomb.
342
00:20:51,915 --> 00:20:55,835
This tomb, the rocks
had hieroglyphics
343
00:20:55,835 --> 00:20:58,922
with the inscriptions
on the inside,
344
00:20:58,922 --> 00:21:02,801
as if they intentionally wanted
to protect the outside world
345
00:21:02,801 --> 00:21:05,386
from the contents of this tomb.
346
00:21:08,056 --> 00:21:09,599
NARRATOR:
The ancient Egyptians
347
00:21:09,599 --> 00:21:12,936
were strong believers
in reincarnation,
348
00:21:12,936 --> 00:21:16,272
and even had a specific name
for the part of the individual
349
00:21:16,272 --> 00:21:19,275
that detaches itself
from the body after death.
350
00:21:19,275 --> 00:21:23,238
They referred to it as Ba.
351
00:21:23,238 --> 00:21:26,199
The Ba is the personality.
352
00:21:26,199 --> 00:21:28,701
The Ba is the character.
353
00:21:28,701 --> 00:21:31,788
Every human had a Ba,
354
00:21:31,788 --> 00:21:35,834
and the Ba is the part
they believed
355
00:21:35,834 --> 00:21:41,339
moves out and is reincarnated
in another life,
356
00:21:41,339 --> 00:21:43,383
another living human.
357
00:21:45,176 --> 00:21:48,138
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
358
00:21:48,138 --> 00:21:51,558
that the concept of
what the Egyptians referred to
359
00:21:51,558 --> 00:21:55,728
as the Ba, or the detachment
of the spirit from the body,
360
00:21:55,728 --> 00:22:00,525
has been depicted in artwork
throughout history.
361
00:22:00,525 --> 00:22:02,694
Across the globe,
362
00:22:02,694 --> 00:22:07,073
over 1.5 billion people
believe in reincarnation,
363
00:22:07,073 --> 00:22:10,743
including nearly
all Eastern philosophies,
364
00:22:10,743 --> 00:22:15,206
as well as the Kabbalistic sect
of Judaism.
365
00:22:16,499 --> 00:22:19,752
Tibetans, we believe rebirth.
366
00:22:48,698 --> 00:22:52,911
In the Kabbalistic tradition
of Judaism,
367
00:22:52,911 --> 00:22:57,957
reincarnation is considered
a fundamental belief.
368
00:22:57,957 --> 00:23:00,501
And unlike other religions,
369
00:23:00,501 --> 00:23:02,921
which believe
you have only one lifetime
370
00:23:02,921 --> 00:23:05,256
in which to get it right,
371
00:23:05,256 --> 00:23:10,094
in the Kabbalistic tradition,
it is believed
372
00:23:10,094 --> 00:23:15,475
that souls are given multiple
chances to get it right.
373
00:23:15,475 --> 00:23:20,688
So souls are believed
to reincarnate time after time.
374
00:23:24,275 --> 00:23:27,111
NARRATOR: The idea
of the preexistence of the soul
375
00:23:27,111 --> 00:23:31,282
was once a significant doctrine
of the Christian canon,
376
00:23:31,282 --> 00:23:33,868
before it had been excised
from the teachings
377
00:23:33,868 --> 00:23:39,999
by Roman emperor
Justinian the Great in 553 AD.
378
00:23:39,999 --> 00:23:43,711
The early Christian belief
in reincarnation
379
00:23:43,711 --> 00:23:45,964
was eventually declared
a heresy.
380
00:23:45,964 --> 00:23:48,800
Instead of recycling to Earth
over and over again,
381
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,136
you now only have one
destination after this life.
382
00:23:52,136 --> 00:23:55,098
That destination
is either Heaven or it's Hell,
383
00:23:55,098 --> 00:23:57,767
depending on how
you behaved in life.
384
00:23:57,767 --> 00:24:00,979
It was used
as a control mechanism.
385
00:24:00,979 --> 00:24:05,066
YOUNG: In ancient Greece,
Socrates, Pythagoras
386
00:24:05,066 --> 00:24:10,363
and Plato all commented on the
possibility of reincarnation.
387
00:24:10,363 --> 00:24:14,075
In the dialogues, Plato says,
388
00:24:14,075 --> 00:24:18,997
"I am confident that there truly
is such a thing as living again,
389
00:24:18,997 --> 00:24:21,332
and that the living spring
from the dead."
390
00:24:21,332 --> 00:24:25,503
So here's a strong sense
of reincarnation.
391
00:24:25,503 --> 00:24:28,756
CORY: There are many beliefs
around the world,
392
00:24:28,756 --> 00:24:31,509
that reincarnation exists.
393
00:24:31,509 --> 00:24:35,179
Some people believe
that certain types of souls
394
00:24:35,179 --> 00:24:39,100
are able to come back,
not just in one body,
395
00:24:39,100 --> 00:24:44,480
but in several bodies at once
to perform specific tasks.
396
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,691
And that's one
of the reasons why
397
00:24:46,691 --> 00:24:48,943
there are so many more people
on the Earth today
398
00:24:48,943 --> 00:24:50,611
than there used to be.
399
00:24:50,611 --> 00:24:52,697
And also it is possible for you
400
00:24:52,697 --> 00:24:56,367
to reincarnate
from other planets.
401
00:24:56,367 --> 00:24:59,871
TSOUKALOS: Oftentimes, when
reincarnation is discussed,
402
00:24:59,871 --> 00:25:01,456
we only talk about it
403
00:25:01,456 --> 00:25:04,542
that people are reincarnated
here on Earth,
404
00:25:04,542 --> 00:25:06,919
and I personally always thought
405
00:25:06,919 --> 00:25:11,424
that that was a limiting idea
of reincarnation.
406
00:25:11,424 --> 00:25:16,846
I think even extraterrestrial
organisms‐‐ biological ones‐‐
407
00:25:16,846 --> 00:25:20,308
would be reincarnated
throughout the universe.
408
00:25:24,103 --> 00:25:26,397
NARRATOR:
If souls are indeed recycling
409
00:25:26,397 --> 00:25:30,068
through various bodies,
as so many cultures,
410
00:25:30,068 --> 00:25:33,321
both ancient and modern,
have proposed,
411
00:25:33,321 --> 00:25:37,533
is this simply the natural
continuation of life
412
00:25:37,533 --> 00:25:40,453
or might this process
be directed
413
00:25:40,453 --> 00:25:42,997
towards some greater end?
414
00:25:42,997 --> 00:25:46,709
One that reaches
far beyond Earth?
415
00:25:46,709 --> 00:25:49,837
Perhaps further clues
can be found
416
00:25:49,837 --> 00:25:52,924
by examining the stories
of those who claim
417
00:25:52,924 --> 00:25:57,303
to have been reincarnated with
a specific purpose for humanity.
418
00:26:04,977 --> 00:26:06,437
NARRATOR:
Dharamshala, India,
419
00:26:06,437 --> 00:26:10,817
May 17, 2015.
420
00:26:10,817 --> 00:26:12,735
CROWD (chanting):
We want justice!
421
00:26:12,735 --> 00:26:15,113
‐MAN: What do we want?
‐CROWD: We want freedom!
422
00:26:15,113 --> 00:26:16,656
MAN:
What do we want?
423
00:26:16,656 --> 00:26:18,449
(crowd chanting indistinctly)
424
00:26:18,449 --> 00:26:20,493
NARRATOR:
Tibetan exiles in India,
425
00:26:20,493 --> 00:26:22,703
including
the current Dalai Lama,
426
00:26:22,703 --> 00:26:25,498
renew their call
for Communist China
427
00:26:25,498 --> 00:26:27,875
to release the high‐ranking
Buddhist monk
428
00:26:27,875 --> 00:26:31,337
they have held captive
for the past 20 years.
429
00:26:31,337 --> 00:26:34,966
Gedhun Choekyi Nyima
is considered
430
00:26:34,966 --> 00:26:37,844
one of the world's longest‐held
political prisoners.
431
00:26:37,844 --> 00:26:41,514
He has been held captive
since 1995,
432
00:26:41,514 --> 00:26:44,892
when at the age of six,
he was recognized
433
00:26:44,892 --> 00:26:48,146
as the 11th reincarnation
of the Panchen Lama,
434
00:26:48,146 --> 00:26:51,566
the second most important
spiritual leader of Tibet
435
00:26:51,566 --> 00:26:55,945
after the Dalai Lama himself.
436
00:26:55,945 --> 00:26:58,865
NICK POPE: The Dalai Lama
unilaterally announced
437
00:26:58,865 --> 00:27:01,200
that they'd found
the Panchen Lama.
438
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,787
Now, the Chinese placed him
under house arrest in China,
439
00:27:04,787 --> 00:27:07,457
and he's not been
heard from since.
440
00:27:07,457 --> 00:27:10,334
The Chinese government
installed, effectively,
441
00:27:10,334 --> 00:27:12,170
their own candidate.
442
00:27:12,170 --> 00:27:13,921
The reason for this
443
00:27:13,921 --> 00:27:17,133
seems to be that
the previous Panchen Lama
444
00:27:17,133 --> 00:27:19,343
had spoken out
against Chinese Communism,
445
00:27:19,343 --> 00:27:23,264
and the Chinese government
was probably worried about that.
446
00:27:23,264 --> 00:27:27,393
NARRATOR: Like most other
Eastern religions,
447
00:27:27,393 --> 00:27:29,020
the belief in reincarnation
448
00:27:29,020 --> 00:27:32,815
is central to the Tibetan
Buddhist philosophy.
449
00:27:32,815 --> 00:27:35,443
NARRATOR:
The current Dalai Lama
450
00:27:35,443 --> 00:27:38,654
is the 14th
in his reincarnation lineage,
451
00:27:38,654 --> 00:27:43,034
but he claims to be the 74th
incarnation of his spirit,
452
00:27:43,034 --> 00:27:47,288
which is said to trace back
to the deity Chenrezig,
453
00:27:47,288 --> 00:27:50,499
the founding god
of the Tibetan people.
454
00:27:52,251 --> 00:27:55,880
...is a very special
dedicated compassion
455
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,383
Buddha manifested for Tibet.
456
00:28:11,062 --> 00:28:14,941
CORY: This being continues to
come back through reincarnations
457
00:28:14,941 --> 00:28:17,985
to simply help
the Tibetan people
458
00:28:17,985 --> 00:28:20,655
and the humans on the Earth
459
00:28:20,655 --> 00:28:23,866
to also find their way
to enlightenment.
460
00:28:26,869 --> 00:28:30,164
NARRATOR: It is said
that Chenrezig made a vow
461
00:28:30,164 --> 00:28:33,584
that he would not rest until he
had "liberated all the beings
462
00:28:33,584 --> 00:28:36,587
in all the realms of suffering."
463
00:28:36,587 --> 00:28:41,175
Tibetan Buddhists believe, that
in the form of the Dalai Lama,
464
00:28:41,175 --> 00:28:45,888
he returns to Earth in a quest
to fulfill this mission.
465
00:28:45,888 --> 00:28:49,517
But according to
ancient astronaut theorists,
466
00:28:49,517 --> 00:28:53,187
Chenrezig was not merely
an enlightened being,
467
00:28:53,187 --> 00:28:56,274
he was an extraterrestrial
visitor to Earth
468
00:28:56,274 --> 00:28:58,317
in the remote past.
469
00:28:58,317 --> 00:29:02,280
TSOUKALOS: In many of
the renderings similar to his,
470
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:07,201
you have these Buddhas
that are in this lotus position
471
00:29:07,201 --> 00:29:11,205
that seem to be sitting
inside some sort of vehicles.
472
00:29:11,205 --> 00:29:13,749
They look like lotus flowers,
473
00:29:13,749 --> 00:29:19,255
and you have them surrounded
by flames and smoke.
474
00:29:19,255 --> 00:29:22,466
CHILDRESS:
Chenrezig is often seen floating
475
00:29:22,466 --> 00:29:25,761
in a kind of UFO‐shaped disc
476
00:29:25,761 --> 00:29:28,389
with different objects
around him.
477
00:29:28,389 --> 00:29:32,268
So, it would seem that really,
for Tibetan Buddhists,
478
00:29:32,268 --> 00:29:35,396
the Dalai Lama
is a reincarnation
479
00:29:35,396 --> 00:29:39,317
of some kind
of extraterrestrial god
480
00:29:39,317 --> 00:29:44,030
who has chosen the Tibetan
people as his people,
481
00:29:44,030 --> 00:29:48,534
and he continually reincarnates
over and over again,
482
00:29:48,534 --> 00:29:52,038
to lead these people.
483
00:29:55,624 --> 00:29:57,668
NARRATOR:
According to researchers,
484
00:29:57,668 --> 00:30:00,921
the vast majority
of reincarnated individuals
485
00:30:00,921 --> 00:30:05,051
are completely unaware
of their previous lives.
486
00:30:05,051 --> 00:30:08,220
But if the Dalai Lama
is returning
487
00:30:08,220 --> 00:30:10,639
to fulfill a recognized mission,
488
00:30:10,639 --> 00:30:13,392
could there be others
who knowingly come back
489
00:30:13,392 --> 00:30:16,103
with a task to complete?
490
00:30:20,775 --> 00:30:22,485
NARRATOR:
Hillah, Iraq.
491
00:30:22,485 --> 00:30:25,446
Just over 50 miles
south of Baghdad.
492
00:30:25,446 --> 00:30:28,991
Scattered over 2,000 acres,
493
00:30:28,991 --> 00:30:31,786
in the center
of the war‐torn nation,
494
00:30:31,786 --> 00:30:36,332
lie the ruins of one of the
ancient world's greatest cities,
495
00:30:36,332 --> 00:30:38,125
Babylon.
496
00:30:38,125 --> 00:30:43,172
During the 1980s,
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
497
00:30:43,172 --> 00:30:46,592
attempted
to reconstruct the city.
498
00:30:46,592 --> 00:30:50,846
He built himself
a replica structure
499
00:30:50,846 --> 00:30:53,349
on the ancient foundation
of the palace
500
00:30:53,349 --> 00:30:58,562
of the sixth century Babylonian
king, Nebuchadnezzar II,
501
00:30:58,562 --> 00:31:04,735
and even made plans to restore
his famous Hanging Gardens.
502
00:31:04,735 --> 00:31:08,155
In 1991, during
the First Gulf War,
503
00:31:08,155 --> 00:31:11,075
the world was introduced
to Saddam Hussein,
504
00:31:11,075 --> 00:31:13,202
both as a military dictator,
505
00:31:13,202 --> 00:31:16,247
but also, we learned
during the 1980s,
506
00:31:16,247 --> 00:31:18,082
Saddam had spent
over $500 million
507
00:31:18,082 --> 00:31:20,334
rebuilding Babylon.
508
00:31:20,334 --> 00:31:22,503
CHILDRESS:
One of the interesting things
509
00:31:22,503 --> 00:31:24,338
that came out in the news
510
00:31:24,338 --> 00:31:28,801
around the time
of the First Gulf War with Iraq,
511
00:31:28,801 --> 00:31:30,678
was that Saddam Hussein believed
512
00:31:30,678 --> 00:31:34,140
that he was the reincarnation
of Nebuchadnezzar II.
513
00:31:36,475 --> 00:31:39,854
YOUNG:
Saddam Hussein said that he was
514
00:31:39,854 --> 00:31:42,106
the reincarnation
of Nebuchadnezzar.
515
00:31:42,106 --> 00:31:45,693
He had coins made
with his image on one side,
516
00:31:45,693 --> 00:31:48,028
and Nebuchadnezzar on the other.
517
00:31:48,028 --> 00:31:51,657
The original bricks
in Babylon had the name
518
00:31:51,657 --> 00:31:54,743
Nebuchadnezzar engraved on them.
519
00:31:54,743 --> 00:31:57,872
When Saddam rebuilt
the ancient city of Babylon,
520
00:31:57,872 --> 00:32:01,167
he had bricks inscribed
with his own name
521
00:32:01,167 --> 00:32:05,337
and the name Nebuchadnezzar
engraved on them as well.
522
00:32:09,383 --> 00:32:12,470
NARRATOR:
Nebuchadnezzar II was a powerful
523
00:32:12,470 --> 00:32:16,557
and ambitious ruler, and during
his reign he made Babylon
524
00:32:16,557 --> 00:32:20,728
the most powerful kingdom
in the region.
525
00:32:20,728 --> 00:32:25,816
Much like Saddam Hussein,
Nebuchadnezzar II also set out
526
00:32:25,816 --> 00:32:29,236
to reconstruct the already
ancient city,
527
00:32:29,236 --> 00:32:31,447
specifically
focusing on restoring
528
00:32:31,447 --> 00:32:35,743
the Great Ziggurat of Babylon,
the Etemenanki temple.
529
00:32:38,287 --> 00:32:42,333
Scholars have proposed
that the site may actually be
530
00:32:42,333 --> 00:32:46,420
the former location
of the biblical Tower of Babel,
531
00:32:46,420 --> 00:32:48,964
which was constructed
after the Great Flood
532
00:32:48,964 --> 00:32:53,969
by orders of the ancient king,
Nimrod.
533
00:32:53,969 --> 00:32:56,514
TZADOK: Ancient legend tells us
that King Nebuchadnezzar
534
00:32:56,514 --> 00:33:00,226
was indeed himself
a reincarnation of the earlier
535
00:33:00,226 --> 00:33:03,020
Babylonian King Nimrod.
536
00:33:03,020 --> 00:33:08,275
Nimrod was the first world
dictator who created
537
00:33:08,275 --> 00:33:10,653
what was a world empire.
538
00:33:10,653 --> 00:33:14,657
Nimrod was of the descendants
of Noah.
539
00:33:14,657 --> 00:33:17,952
Now, Noah was very unique,
very interesting.
540
00:33:17,952 --> 00:33:21,163
He was born with certain
attributes which indicated
541
00:33:21,163 --> 00:33:23,415
that he was not of this world.
542
00:33:23,415 --> 00:33:25,793
NARRATOR:
If this is true,
543
00:33:25,793 --> 00:33:28,837
could it be that Saddam Hussein
was not only
544
00:33:28,837 --> 00:33:31,799
a reincarnation
of Nebuchadnezzar II,
545
00:33:31,799 --> 00:33:35,886
but also the biblical character
known as Nimrod?
546
00:33:37,930 --> 00:33:40,808
And might this being have
returned to fulfill a mission
547
00:33:40,808 --> 00:33:46,480
he was unable to complete
in his earlier incarnation?
548
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,315
HENRY: What we're seeing here
is actually
549
00:33:48,315 --> 00:33:50,985
a progression of a soul,
or a spirit,
550
00:33:50,985 --> 00:33:53,988
beginning with Nimrod,
going through Nebuchadnezzar,
551
00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:57,575
and then reincarnating
as Saddam Hussein,
552
00:33:57,575 --> 00:34:00,995
who was trying to do exactly
the same thing in each lifetime.
553
00:34:04,206 --> 00:34:08,460
NARRATOR: If the existence of
the human soul can be proven,
554
00:34:08,460 --> 00:34:10,421
could it really carry remnants
555
00:34:10,421 --> 00:34:12,881
from previous lives?
556
00:34:12,881 --> 00:34:16,343
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
557
00:34:16,343 --> 00:34:18,637
and point to a number
of recent scientific
558
00:34:18,637 --> 00:34:20,889
discoveries for their proof,
559
00:34:20,889 --> 00:34:23,309
not only of reincarnation,
560
00:34:23,309 --> 00:34:26,770
but of mankind's
ancient alien origins.
561
00:34:37,698 --> 00:34:41,535
NARRATOR:
Stanton, Kentucky, July 2016.
562
00:34:41,535 --> 00:34:44,163
(siren wailing)
563
00:34:44,163 --> 00:34:48,208
A witness to the aftermath
of a fatal traffic collision
564
00:34:48,208 --> 00:34:52,129
takes a photograph of the scene
as he drives past.
565
00:34:52,129 --> 00:34:57,051
Upon examination of the picture,
he notices the vestige
566
00:34:57,051 --> 00:34:59,678
of a figure
floating above the scene.
567
00:35:01,639 --> 00:35:04,600
Many have suggested that this
chilling photograph
568
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,729
actually shows the soul
leaving the body.
569
00:35:08,729 --> 00:35:13,651
And today an increasing number
of scientists support the notion
570
00:35:13,651 --> 00:35:16,153
that there may really be
a spirit that continues on
571
00:35:16,153 --> 00:35:18,530
after the body dies.
572
00:35:20,866 --> 00:35:23,869
GOOD:
The vast body of information
573
00:35:23,869 --> 00:35:25,537
supporting the concept
574
00:35:25,537 --> 00:35:27,456
or the idea of reincarnation
575
00:35:27,456 --> 00:35:30,876
is getting stronger
and stronger.
576
00:35:30,876 --> 00:35:34,380
There's nothing in the science
that precludes that,
577
00:35:34,380 --> 00:35:37,299
and there's some information
that actually supports it.
578
00:35:40,010 --> 00:35:42,137
NARRATOR:
In 1996,
579
00:35:42,137 --> 00:35:45,349
renowned physicist
Sir Roger Penrose
580
00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:48,894
and anesthesiologist
Dr. Stuart Hameroff
581
00:35:48,894 --> 00:35:53,023
developed a quantum theory
of consciousness that supports
582
00:35:53,023 --> 00:35:55,693
the notion of a separate state
of an individual
583
00:35:55,693 --> 00:36:00,447
that can exist beyond the
confines of a physical body.
584
00:36:00,447 --> 00:36:05,369
Their work highlights structures
called microtubules,
585
00:36:05,369 --> 00:36:09,748
which they suggest
is the seat of the soul.
586
00:36:09,748 --> 00:36:12,501
GOOD:
Microtubules are light pipes
587
00:36:12,501 --> 00:36:15,963
that allow electrons
to flow unimpeded,
588
00:36:15,963 --> 00:36:17,965
so the body can talk to itself.
589
00:36:19,925 --> 00:36:23,387
It allows consciousness to flow
throughout the body,
590
00:36:23,387 --> 00:36:27,224
at least so the theory goes.
591
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,813
NARRATOR: According to their
theory, the soul itself exists
592
00:36:32,813 --> 00:36:36,275
in an energetic state.
593
00:36:36,275 --> 00:36:39,403
When the body dies,
it returns to the universe,
594
00:36:39,403 --> 00:36:42,740
as it cannot be destroyed.
595
00:36:42,740 --> 00:36:45,826
And in the case of near‐death
experiences,
596
00:36:45,826 --> 00:36:50,289
it may later return to the body
after resuscitation.
597
00:36:50,289 --> 00:36:52,875
Their theory suggests that
598
00:36:52,875 --> 00:36:57,463
what is happening is that some
energetic quantum essence
599
00:36:57,463 --> 00:37:00,758
of consciousness itself
that can exist as pure energy
600
00:37:00,758 --> 00:37:02,676
is exiting the body.
601
00:37:02,676 --> 00:37:05,179
And then, when the body
becomes viable again,
602
00:37:05,179 --> 00:37:07,723
it is able to reinhabit
the body through
603
00:37:07,723 --> 00:37:12,102
using these microtubules, much
like the idea of an antenna.
604
00:37:12,102 --> 00:37:15,439
We have the possibility that
this is an intelligent design.
605
00:37:15,439 --> 00:37:18,233
That there could be intelligent
beings before us
606
00:37:18,233 --> 00:37:22,112
who specifically designed
these biological bodies
607
00:37:22,112 --> 00:37:24,823
to be vessels for the soul.
608
00:37:29,453 --> 00:37:32,289
NARRATOR: According
to ancient astronaut theorists,
609
00:37:32,289 --> 00:37:35,751
our latest scientific
discoveries reflect the stories
610
00:37:35,751 --> 00:37:40,047
written by our ancestors
over 3,500 years ago,
611
00:37:40,047 --> 00:37:43,008
detailing how the gods
fashioned the human body
612
00:37:43,008 --> 00:37:45,844
to possess a soul or spirit.
613
00:37:48,013 --> 00:37:50,390
When you look at, uh, one
of the earliest creation myths
614
00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:52,684
from Mesopotamia,
they talked about how,
615
00:37:52,684 --> 00:37:56,355
in order for a human body
to be animated,
616
00:37:56,355 --> 00:37:59,441
the gods needed to connect
the soul to it,
617
00:37:59,441 --> 00:38:02,277
or the spiritual consciousness
to it.
618
00:38:02,277 --> 00:38:05,572
Otherwise it just
doesn't function.
619
00:38:05,572 --> 00:38:09,118
HENRY: The gods
in ancient stories have all
620
00:38:09,118 --> 00:38:12,037
the hallmarks of what we call
extraterrestrials.
621
00:38:12,037 --> 00:38:16,041
They're deeply interested in the
idea of the soul, how to move
622
00:38:16,041 --> 00:38:18,919
the soul from one body
to another.
623
00:38:18,919 --> 00:38:21,713
We call that reincarnation.
624
00:38:21,713 --> 00:38:23,382
So the historical record
625
00:38:23,382 --> 00:38:26,468
of extraterrestrials tweaking
human bodies
626
00:38:26,468 --> 00:38:29,346
suggests
that the ultimate purpose
627
00:38:29,346 --> 00:38:31,306
of this genetic alteration
628
00:38:31,306 --> 00:38:36,103
is to make the human body
a better vehicle for the soul.
629
00:38:38,564 --> 00:38:41,233
NARRATOR: Are scientists
on the verge of uncovering
630
00:38:41,233 --> 00:38:46,071
a profound truth‐‐ that man
really does possess a soul,
631
00:38:46,071 --> 00:38:49,324
and human bodies are
physiologically designed
632
00:38:49,324 --> 00:38:53,871
to support it,
as our ancestors claimed?
633
00:38:53,871 --> 00:38:58,000
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and believe
634
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,503
the more important question...
is why?
635
00:39:09,887 --> 00:39:12,222
NARRATOR: New York City College
of Technology.
636
00:39:12,222 --> 00:39:15,726
August 2016.
637
00:39:15,726 --> 00:39:20,397
Physicist Gregory Matloff
publishes a paper arguing
638
00:39:20,397 --> 00:39:23,525
that consciousness may extend
beyond humans,
639
00:39:23,525 --> 00:39:26,945
and that the universe itself
might be self‐aware.
640
00:39:26,945 --> 00:39:30,699
Prominent scientists
like Christoph Koch
641
00:39:30,699 --> 00:39:35,537
and Sir Roger Penrose
also support this notion.
642
00:39:35,537 --> 00:39:38,916
And researchers studying
reincarnation believe
643
00:39:38,916 --> 00:39:43,670
it might help explain why souls
are continuously recycled.
644
00:39:43,670 --> 00:39:46,548
There seems to be a process
where you reincarnate
645
00:39:46,548 --> 00:39:49,927
repeatedly, because there is
a larger consciousness
646
00:39:49,927 --> 00:39:52,387
that you're a part of.
647
00:39:52,387 --> 00:39:55,891
In short, we upload and download
consciousness,
648
00:39:55,891 --> 00:40:00,562
and we're creating a common body
of information.
649
00:40:00,562 --> 00:40:04,066
CORY: Cosmic consciousness
is expansive.
650
00:40:04,066 --> 00:40:06,944
It allows us to imagine
the possibilities
651
00:40:06,944 --> 00:40:10,781
beyond our 3D reality.
652
00:40:10,781 --> 00:40:15,452
Beyond our limited way
of seeing this reality
653
00:40:15,452 --> 00:40:16,703
right here on the Earth.
654
00:40:18,705 --> 00:40:21,291
NARRATOR:
But if human bodies were created
655
00:40:21,291 --> 00:40:24,962
as vessels for the soul
by extraterrestrial beings,
656
00:40:24,962 --> 00:40:28,382
as some ancient astronaut
theorists propose,
657
00:40:28,382 --> 00:40:31,009
was it to feed the human
experience into
658
00:40:31,009 --> 00:40:33,595
a shared cosmic consciousness?
659
00:40:33,595 --> 00:40:37,641
And if so, could the key
to uncovering the truth
660
00:40:37,641 --> 00:40:42,396
about our alien origins be
walking amongst us today?
661
00:40:42,396 --> 00:40:44,564
Some of the souls
that are currently
662
00:40:44,564 --> 00:40:46,566
walking around Planet Earth
663
00:40:46,566 --> 00:40:49,403
have been around
for a very long time,
664
00:40:49,403 --> 00:40:53,991
and may be traced back
to extraterrestrials visiting
665
00:40:53,991 --> 00:40:56,159
in the remote past.
666
00:40:56,159 --> 00:40:58,662
The truth of our past
could definitely be
667
00:40:58,662 --> 00:41:00,914
part of our future.
668
00:41:02,791 --> 00:41:05,502
CHILDRESS: Extraterrestrial
reincarnated souls
669
00:41:05,502 --> 00:41:08,922
have been with us for thousands
and thousands of years,
670
00:41:08,922 --> 00:41:15,262
guiding us, leading us over
and over again as best they can
671
00:41:15,262 --> 00:41:18,765
to help us achieve
our various goals.
672
00:41:18,765 --> 00:41:21,727
HENRY:
We have to realize that
673
00:41:21,727 --> 00:41:24,938
extraterrestrial knowledge
is present in our world,
674
00:41:24,938 --> 00:41:27,899
that these souls carry
direct evidence and knowledge
675
00:41:27,899 --> 00:41:29,484
from our past
676
00:41:29,484 --> 00:41:31,987
and are perhaps being used
to fulfill
677
00:41:31,987 --> 00:41:34,614
the mission of these
extraterrestrial beings.
678
00:41:34,614 --> 00:41:38,535
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that humans are designed
679
00:41:38,535 --> 00:41:41,330
to carry the souls
of otherworldly beings
680
00:41:41,330 --> 00:41:44,958
that came to Earth
thousands of years ago?
681
00:41:44,958 --> 00:41:49,379
Perhaps as we learn more
about reincarnation
682
00:41:49,379 --> 00:41:52,799
we will be able to access
ancient knowledge
683
00:41:52,799 --> 00:41:55,844
seeded deep within each of us.
684
00:41:55,844 --> 00:41:58,805
We may also discover
that the truths
685
00:41:58,805 --> 00:42:01,350
about our extraterrestrial past
686
00:42:01,350 --> 00:42:05,181
are much closer
than we ever realized.
