1
00:00:00,651 --> 00:00:07,692
An enormous flying creature
born of a raging inferno...
2
00:00:07,693 --> 00:00:14,030
a vicious three-headed dog
guarding the gates of hell
3
00:00:14,032 --> 00:00:20,003
and mysterious sea serpents
terrorizing mankind.
4
00:00:20,005 --> 00:00:24,808
But are such monsters just
mythical creatures; a fantasy?
5
00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:28,745
Or did they actually exist
in the ancient past?
6
00:00:28,747 --> 00:00:31,548
GEORGE NOORY: There was some kind
of experimentation going on.
7
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:35,185
Let's take this animal
and give him two heads.
8
00:00:35,187 --> 00:00:38,655
Let's take this dragon
and give him wings.
9
00:00:38,657 --> 00:00:43,260
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: These
creatures are direct products
10
00:00:43,262 --> 00:00:49,166
of extraterrestrial genetic
experimentations in our past.
11
00:00:49,168 --> 00:00:53,069
NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have
12
00:00:53,071 --> 00:00:56,540
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
13
00:00:56,542 --> 00:00:59,476
What if it were true?
14
00:00:59,478 --> 00:01:04,181
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
15
00:01:04,183 --> 00:01:08,618
And if so, might the beasts and
monsters of ancient legend
16
00:01:08,620 --> 00:01:13,089
really have been the product of
an advanced extraterrestrial
17
00:01:13,091 --> 00:01:15,091
intelligence?
18
00:01:19,127 --> 00:01:22,649

20
00:01:49,313 --> 00:01:53,763
Montauk, New York.
21
00:01:53,765 --> 00:01:59,870
On July 13, 2008, a 26-year-old
woman and three of her friends
22
00:01:59,872 --> 00:02:03,673
discovered the carcass of a
strange looking creature that
23
00:02:03,675 --> 00:02:07,143
had washed onto the shore.
24
00:02:11,532 --> 00:02:14,765
At actually looked like
a hybrid creature,
25
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,830
that had the claws of a raccoon
and possibly the beak of a bird
26
00:02:19,865 --> 00:02:21,974
and the body perhaps of a dog.
27
00:02:22,009 --> 00:02:27,801
A very unusual creature,
a photograph is taken and circulated.
28
00:02:27,836 --> 00:02:30,318
It started popping up
all over the internet.
29
00:02:30,353 --> 00:02:31,922
It went viral.
30
00:02:31,957 --> 00:02:36,866
The people couldn't identify the animal
because it didn't look like anything,
31
00:02:36,901 --> 00:02:39,625
it looked like a mixture
of different animals.
32
00:02:43,814 --> 00:02:47,521
And because it looked so strange,
you know, it's provoked a lot of fairies.
33
00:02:47,556 --> 00:02:48,923
Is it just an unknown animal?
34
00:02:50,853 --> 00:02:53,433
Could it be some sort
of hybrid type creature,
35
00:02:53,468 --> 00:02:56,082
something, you know, that had been
genetically tinkered with in a lab?
36
00:03:01,778 --> 00:03:03,932
Some believe that the
mysterious creature
37
00:03:03,967 --> 00:03:05,379
is a hybrid beast.
38
00:03:05,414 --> 00:03:09,196
Perhaps created at a nearby
government testing facility.
39
00:03:09,231 --> 00:03:11,968
The Plumb Island Animal Disease Center.
40
00:03:13,213 --> 00:03:18,909
Crypto zoologists Lauren Callman
labels the creature the Montauk Monster.
41
00:03:18,944 --> 00:03:22,600
This is a replica of the Montauk monster.
42
00:03:22,635 --> 00:03:25,803
One of the things that we notice
about this creature was the
43
00:03:25,838 --> 00:03:29,460
strange features around it's mouth.
It looked like a beak,
44
00:03:29,495 --> 00:03:33,383
and actually looked like we didn't
know what was going on here,
45
00:03:33,409 --> 00:03:36,377
was it a griffin? Was it a creature?
Was it a giant turtle?
46
00:03:36,378 --> 00:03:41,660
But indeed, that was decaying flesh
that came away from the skull.
47
00:03:41,737 --> 00:03:45,041
Other features were the
strange looking feet, and the
48
00:03:45,043 --> 00:03:48,244
body, indeed-- because the
picture had no scale in it--
49
00:03:48,246 --> 00:03:50,347
we thought looked enormous.
50
00:03:50,349 --> 00:03:54,718
But on the body, these white
objects here really define the
51
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,356
size of flies on the creature,
which then determined a scale.
52
00:03:59,358 --> 00:04:02,258
This creature was very small.
53
00:04:02,260 --> 00:04:04,427
RUEHL: Unfortunately, someone
grabbed the carcass and
54
00:04:04,429 --> 00:04:07,897
supposedly took it to his front
yard, and it ultimately vanished.
55
00:04:07,899 --> 00:04:09,432
So the only evidence we have of
56
00:04:09,434 --> 00:04:12,969
this creature is the photo.
57
00:04:12,971 --> 00:04:22,345
But while some researchers theorized
that the so-called Montauk Monster was
58
00:04:22,347 --> 00:04:28,284
the product of modern science,
ancient astronaut theorists
59
00:04:28,286 --> 00:04:32,322
believe the animal could be part
of a long line of genetically-
60
00:04:32,324 --> 00:04:36,760
modified creatures that have
appeared throughout human history.
61
00:04:36,762 --> 00:04:41,297
TSOUKALOS: If the Montauk
Monster is in fact a reality,
62
00:04:41,299 --> 00:04:48,772
then that could mean that if
we're able today to create some
63
00:04:48,774 --> 00:04:52,542
very bizarre creatures behind
closed doors in labs all around
64
00:04:52,544 --> 00:04:57,047
the world, it is possible that
our ancestors, especially the
65
00:04:57,049 --> 00:05:02,652
extraterrestrial ancestors,
had the same capability.
66
00:05:02,654 --> 00:05:08,291
Because in ancient texts, we
have numerous references to
67
00:05:08,293 --> 00:05:16,032
monsters, bizarre beings that have
been described in great detail.
68
00:05:16,034 --> 00:05:20,003
NARRATOR: Ancient Greek
artifacts depict terrifying
69
00:05:20,005 --> 00:05:35,819
beasts such as the Gorgon... the Hydra...
and the ferocious Cerberus.
70
00:05:35,821 --> 00:05:41,491
And in Homer's epic poem the
Iliad, the Greek author
71
00:05:41,493 --> 00:05:46,129
describes a battle in which the
hero, Bellerophon, slays a
72
00:05:46,131 --> 00:05:50,567
monster called the Chimera.
73
00:05:50,569 --> 00:05:52,718
JASON MARTELL: The Chimera
was a dreaded beast
74
00:05:52,753 --> 00:05:55,773
that wreaked havoc and
terrorized the people of Asia Minor.
75
00:05:55,808 --> 00:05:58,910
Homer described the Chimera
as an immortal beast,
76
00:05:58,945 --> 00:06:02,858
with a lion-like head, a snake tail
and a third goat in the middle
77
00:06:02,893 --> 00:06:04,404
that snored bright fire.
78
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:08,744
The notion of Chimera as some hybrids
has been part of the human
79
00:06:08,971 --> 00:06:10,346
psyche for a millennium.
80
00:06:10,381 --> 00:06:14,471
I mean, when you think about things,
just the Minotaur, Pegasus,
81
00:06:14,506 --> 00:06:19,587
Anubis... This is something that
either we have imagined or
82
00:06:19,622 --> 00:06:22,096
had been created at one time.
83
00:06:22,131 --> 00:06:27,001
These beings, these monsters serve more
of a kind of an ethical purpose in
84
00:06:27,036 --> 00:06:31,376
mythology than they are catalogs
of something literal.
85
00:06:31,978 --> 00:06:35,360
Because story-telling in fiction are just
a part of what we are as human beings.
86
00:06:39,228 --> 00:06:44,287
But did mythic monsters merely spring
from the imagination of our ancestors?
87
00:06:44,289 --> 00:06:49,092
Or might they have
actually existed?
88
00:06:49,094 --> 00:06:54,164
Ancient alien theorists believe
in their existence and that
89
00:06:54,166 --> 00:06:59,869
evidence can be found in
the relics of the past.
90
00:06:59,871 --> 00:07:03,339
TSOUKALOS: To suggest that
all of these creatures were
91
00:07:03,341 --> 00:07:07,877
nothing else but fantasy, in my
opinion, doesn't really hold
92
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:11,548
water because our
ancestors weren't stupid.
93
00:07:11,550 --> 00:07:14,050
They depicted what they saw.
94
00:07:17,881 --> 00:07:26,563
We find these mixed hybrid beings all
throughout Egypt as sphinxes, as griffons,
95
00:07:26,565 --> 00:07:29,065
as bizarre creatures that,
according to the the ancient
96
00:07:29,067 --> 00:07:34,304
Egyptian texts, they did exist.
97
00:07:34,306 --> 00:07:39,842
They were not a fantasy of
our ancestors' imagination.
98
00:07:39,844 --> 00:07:43,762
ERICH VON DANIKEN: Just imagine there's a
mother spaceship traveling
99
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:47,444
in the universe for
centuries and centuries.
100
00:07:47,479 --> 00:07:52,746
Then they find a solar system with a
planet with the possibility of life.
101
00:07:52,781 --> 00:07:54,711
Like the Earth,
102
00:07:54,746 --> 00:07:58,553
and they observe on the Nile a crocodile.
103
00:07:58,588 --> 00:08:02,497
A living creature which obviously
is resisting to the heat.
104
00:08:02,532 --> 00:08:10,077
They observe a lion with his power,
his muscles, and now they start to think
105
00:08:10,112 --> 00:08:15,894
we could use a mixture of these
creatures on another planet,
106
00:08:15,895 --> 00:08:22,445
now by genetical design they start
to create mixed creatures.
107
00:08:22,446 --> 00:08:26,793
Some of these mixed creatures
did exist in the past.
108
00:08:28,659 --> 00:08:31,739
The Griffin was a mythological creature
that had the body of a lion,
109
00:08:31,774 --> 00:08:34,249
with the head and wings of an eagle.
110
00:08:35,858 --> 00:08:39,713
Now the lion is the king of the beasts,
the eagle is the king of birds,
111
00:08:39,748 --> 00:08:42,716
so the Griffin was the king
of all creatures.
112
00:08:43,797 --> 00:08:49,092
The creature is somehow two creatures
put together in a way that defies
113
00:08:49,127 --> 00:08:54,736
normal sense, defies normal explanation. So
the question then is, how did that happen?
114
00:08:54,771 --> 00:08:57,620
NARRATOR: By the mid-19th
century, scientists began to
115
00:08:57,622 --> 00:09:01,557
look at fossil records around
the planet to study how
116
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,461
organisms changed over time.
117
00:09:05,463 --> 00:09:10,366
Naturalist Charles Darwin
theorized that all life-forms
118
00:09:10,368 --> 00:09:14,370
share a common origin and have
evolved over the centuries
119
00:09:14,372 --> 00:09:20,009
through a process called
natural selection.
120
00:09:20,011 --> 00:09:24,380
Might the hybrid monsters of
ancient religion and myth really
121
00:09:24,382 --> 00:09:28,184
have been the result
of evolution?
122
00:09:28,186 --> 00:09:33,225
STANFORD: Darwin's theory of evolution
by natural selection is a mechanism by
123
00:09:33,260 --> 00:09:36,314
which life forms can change
from one into another.
124
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,295
It relies on the principal that
organisms that have certain traits,
125
00:09:42,330 --> 00:09:46,937
permutations may be advantageous
in the struggle for existence
126
00:09:46,972 --> 00:09:48,363
and in the struggle for reproduction.
127
00:09:50,972 --> 00:09:53,958
And those traits are the ones that
will be perpetuated over time,
128
00:09:53,993 --> 00:09:55,499
over many, many generations.
129
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,798
Certain different species can breed
if they are genetically close,
130
00:10:01,185 --> 00:10:08,424
Like the donkey and the horse.
Like the wolf and the dog.
131
00:10:08,426 --> 00:10:13,830
However, cats and dogs will not
mate because, first of all, they
132
00:10:13,832 --> 00:10:17,734
don't have the biochemical
signatures to mate with each
133
00:10:17,736 --> 00:10:22,004
other, and plus their genes
are so different that the
134
00:10:22,006 --> 00:10:25,241
chromosomes just won't line
up properly to reproduce.
135
00:10:25,243 --> 00:10:27,910
It's impossible.
136
00:10:29,646 --> 00:10:31,447
NARRATOR: But if Darwin's
theories on evolution and
137
00:10:31,449 --> 00:10:35,885
natural selection cannot explain
the origins of ancient beasts
138
00:10:35,887 --> 00:10:42,325
and monsters, then where
might they have come from?
139
00:10:42,327 --> 00:10:47,096
Perhaps the answer cannot be
found on Earth, but in a place
140
00:10:47,098 --> 00:10:51,434
much father away.
141
00:10:56,830 --> 00:10:59,504
Southern Pakistan.
142
00:11:00,564 --> 00:11:06,873
In the middle of the Indus River
Valley lie the ruins of Mohenjo-Daro.
143
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:12,379
This ancient city, whose name
means "mound of the dead," was
144
00:11:12,381 --> 00:11:18,385
one of the largest urban settlements
in the world in 2600 B.C.
145
00:11:18,387 --> 00:11:23,264
RUEHL: The ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro,
146
00:11:23,299 --> 00:11:26,211
we have what appear to be
streets that were made up parallel
147
00:11:26,246 --> 00:11:28,473
and perpendicular to each other,
like a modern city.
148
00:11:28,508 --> 00:11:33,667
The homes actually had their own
toilets and they had a very
149
00:11:33,669 --> 00:11:35,235
sophisticated sewer system.
150
00:11:35,237 --> 00:11:39,673
So it looks like a
very advanced city.
151
00:11:39,675 --> 00:11:42,843
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists have long thought this
152
00:11:42,845 --> 00:11:47,414
site was also the epicenter
of a nuclear explosion that
153
00:11:47,416 --> 00:11:52,286
occurred more than
4,000 years ago.
154
00:11:52,288 --> 00:11:56,323
RUEHL: Skeletons were found
in dead positions as though
155
00:11:56,325 --> 00:11:59,826
there's an instantaneous death,
and some of those skeletons, as
156
00:11:59,828 --> 00:12:05,999
measured by Soviet scientists, had
50 times the normal radioactivity.
157
00:12:06,001 --> 00:12:10,937
They found pottery that had been
fused, then walls were heated to
158
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:14,941
such an extent they became
vitrified or glasslike,
159
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:20,681
suggesting some sort of ancient
nuclear weapon involved.
160
00:12:20,683 --> 00:12:24,117
NARRATOR: According to the
Mahabharata, the ancient holy
161
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:28,488
text of the Hindus, white-hot
smoke rose in infinite
162
00:12:28,490 --> 00:12:32,859
brilliance and reduced
the city to ashes.
163
00:12:32,861 --> 00:12:39,866
Horses were burned by the thousands and
corpses were vaporized by intense heat.
164
00:12:39,868 --> 00:12:45,382
TSOUKALOS: And afterwards, a big
silence came over the entire land and
165
00:12:45,417 --> 00:12:48,378
people started to have
boils under the skin.
166
00:12:48,413 --> 00:12:53,420
Their hair started to fall out,
and their nails. There's only one thing
167
00:12:53,455 --> 00:12:54,707
that causes this...
168
00:12:55,645 --> 00:12:58,202
And that is
radiation poisoning.
169
00:12:58,237 --> 00:12:59,747
It's radiation fall out.
170
00:13:02,571 --> 00:13:05,435
So the question then becomes,
when ** happen,
171
00:13:05,470 --> 00:13:08,571
in this place where there's
extreme radiation,
172
00:13:08,606 --> 00:13:13,492
what impact does that have on human
life or on other life present there.
173
00:13:14,135 --> 00:13:16,803
Could this explain, for example,
why creatures were born
174
00:13:16,838 --> 00:13:19,032
with more than one arm,
with more than one leg.
175
00:13:19,067 --> 00:13:22,171
Which then somehow became deified
because even to this day,
176
00:13:22,206 --> 00:13:26,135
we know that in civilizations were
anomalous human beings out born
177
00:13:26,170 --> 00:13:30,575
somehow the touch of God is seen
to be part of this creation.
178
00:13:33,661 --> 00:13:37,289
According to the ancient
Hindu texts, after the
179
00:13:37,324 --> 00:13:40,900
♪♪ Mohenjo-Daro a ♪♪
some flying monster
180
00:13:40,935 --> 00:13:44,786
appeared in the sky,
it was called Garuda.
181
00:13:46,311 --> 00:13:50,709
In the Mahabharata the Garuda
is a massive bird like creature.
182
00:13:50,744 --> 00:13:55,547
Red face, red wings, it's so
huge it would black out the Sun.
183
00:13:55,582 --> 00:14:00,083
There are stories that would let a certain
God vision ride on him on occasions.
184
00:14:01,101 --> 00:14:04,763
In each and every time, he would
show up descending from the sky
185
00:14:04,798 --> 00:14:11,321
he would create hurricane winds,
and a ** descent, the Earth would shake,
186
00:14:11,356 --> 00:14:16,533
dust would flap in the air and everyone in
the scene would be absolutely terrified.
187
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:23,885
Now, here we have a carving
of Garuda and if we look at the top,
188
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:28,301
yes, they look like feathers, but
at the same time they could be
189
00:14:28,336 --> 00:14:31,017
interpreted as big gigantic flames.
190
00:14:32,594 --> 00:14:37,708
According to Hindu mythology
Garuda is born out of this
191
00:14:37,743 --> 00:14:44,195
cosmic event. There's war and destruction
that happens at the end of every age.
192
00:14:45,675 --> 00:14:48,762
COPPENS: Could this have been
somehow connected to exposures
193
00:14:48,764 --> 00:14:54,501
or to radiation being borne
within a zone of high radiation?
194
00:14:54,503 --> 00:14:57,404
We cannot know the answer, but
we do know that within India and
195
00:14:57,406 --> 00:15:01,208
within Pakistan there are known
zones of higher radiation than
196
00:15:01,210 --> 00:15:03,777
there are normal.
197
00:15:03,779 --> 00:15:08,381
The logic dictates that somehow,
genetic abominations will have
198
00:15:08,383 --> 00:15:10,750
genetic abominations will have
been born within those places.
199
00:15:10,752 --> 00:15:19,226
In fact the site of an ancient
nuclear attack, could it be
200
00:15:19,228 --> 00:15:24,764
possible that Garuda was a mutant beast
created as a by-product of intense
201
00:15:24,766 --> 00:15:28,301
radioactivity?
202
00:15:28,303 --> 00:15:31,686
STANFORD: We tend to have a science
fiction view about what mutation is,
203
00:15:31,721 --> 00:15:36,538
we think that mutation is being caused by
radiation and they cause outlandish features
204
00:15:36,573 --> 00:15:41,466
and, and, gigantic size insects...
But in fact, mutations happen all the time.
205
00:15:43,113 --> 00:15:47,739
There's no recorded evidence of any
radiation causing a mutation
206
00:15:47,774 --> 00:15:51,120
which changes at some species
into a different species.
207
00:15:52,563 --> 00:15:55,996
Most of the radiation
mutations are lethal.
208
00:15:55,998 --> 00:16:01,034
NARRATOR: But if, as modern
scientists believe, Garuda was
209
00:16:01,036 --> 00:16:05,605
not likely the result of genetic
mutation, then what could
210
00:16:05,607 --> 00:16:08,775
explain its existence?
211
00:16:08,777 --> 00:16:11,578
TSOUKALOS: The Mahabharata
states that Garuda was born from
212
00:16:11,580 --> 00:16:13,313
this raging inferno.
213
00:16:13,315 --> 00:16:16,483
And what's really intriguing
is the fact that in some text
214
00:16:16,485 --> 00:16:21,688
passages, we can read that the
exterior of Garuda did not
215
00:16:21,690 --> 00:16:25,058
consist of feathers,
but of metal.
216
00:16:25,060 --> 00:16:27,561
Now what kind of a bird is that?
217
00:16:27,563 --> 00:16:32,999
No bird is made of metal,
unless it's a type of machine.
218
00:16:33,001 --> 00:16:41,468
VON DANIKEN: Garuda was a flying vehicle.
And Garuda was able to travel to the Moon
219
00:16:41,503 --> 00:16:44,126
and around the Earth
with very, very high speed.
220
00:16:44,343 --> 00:16:52,819
Garuda even was able to shock mankind
with lightning, which fell from heaven.
221
00:16:52,821 --> 00:16:56,489
TSOUKALOS: Garuda was considered
to be a snake killer.
222
00:16:56,491 --> 00:17:01,027
In fact, Garuda needed to eat
snakes in order to survive.
223
00:17:01,029 --> 00:17:06,466
Now compare an airplane at the airport
today hooked up to a fuel line.
224
00:17:06,468 --> 00:17:09,838
Isn't that airplane eating Isn't
that airplane eating a snake?
225
00:17:16,372 --> 00:17:21,281
If you see jets take off in the middle
of the night, and there's smoke and
226
00:17:21,283 --> 00:17:27,120
fire coming out of the exhaust,
it looks like a dragon.
227
00:17:27,122 --> 00:17:30,724
It looks like some type of a
mythical creature, especially if
228
00:17:30,726 --> 00:17:37,831
you don't know what you're witnessing
is nuts-and-bolts technology.
229
00:17:37,833 --> 00:17:41,034
So of course you're gonna liken
it to a living creature.
230
00:17:41,036 --> 00:17:47,007
Those ancient aliens knew that
our ancestors would worship them
231
00:17:47,009 --> 00:17:53,980
as gods because they knew that our
ancestors didn't know it was technology.
232
00:17:53,982 --> 00:17:57,817
They thought it was magic, spirituality,
divine intervention, which it
233
00:17:57,819 --> 00:17:59,819
never was.
234
00:18:02,679 --> 00:18:08,728
To the East of India, near the village of
Wucheng in the Sichuan province
235
00:18:08,730 --> 00:18:13,266
of China, similar tales of
flying beasts have also been
236
00:18:13,268 --> 00:18:16,803
found in ancient texts.
237
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,415
In the IV century, historian
Chang Qu reported the
238
00:18:23,416 --> 00:18:27,374
discovery of what were
then called "dragon bones."
239
00:18:28,817 --> 00:18:32,886
RUEHL: A question occurs as to whether
dragons might actually have been actual
240
00:18:32,888 --> 00:18:35,722
dinosaurs that had wings.
241
00:18:35,724 --> 00:18:41,528
I should point out that the wings would
have been lost to the fossil record.
242
00:18:41,530 --> 00:18:44,330
We're just recently talking
about dinosaurs having feathers
243
00:18:44,332 --> 00:18:45,865
and having evolved into birds.
244
00:18:45,867 --> 00:18:49,335
Well, it's possible that some
dinosaurs actually did have
245
00:18:49,337 --> 00:18:51,771
wings and could be
described as dragons.
246
00:18:51,773 --> 00:18:54,908
NARRATOR: But while most
mainstream scientists believe
247
00:18:54,910 --> 00:18:58,545
the remains found were most
likely dinosaur fossils, like
248
00:18:58,547 --> 00:19:03,717
those of the flying pterosaur,
ancient astronaut theorists
249
00:19:03,719 --> 00:19:09,522
have another, more
provocative explanation.
250
00:19:09,524 --> 00:19:12,358
COPPENS: Now a creature which
somehow was able to spit fire
251
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,428
obviously is not anyplace in
the animal kingdom of today.
252
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:18,898
So what we have here is either
an invention which did indeed
253
00:19:18,900 --> 00:19:22,268
spit fire, in which case we're
not confronting a creature here,
254
00:19:22,270 --> 00:19:23,903
but somehow a creation.
255
00:19:23,905 --> 00:19:27,807
Something which was either engineered
by mankind or which was engineered by
256
00:19:27,809 --> 00:19:31,511
extraterrestrials.
257
00:19:31,513 --> 00:19:35,248
NARRATOR: Machines that fly
through the air and spit fire
258
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:42,789
causing mass destruction, thousands of
casualties and radioactive fallout.
259
00:19:42,791 --> 00:19:47,594
Could the Garuda, and other
so-called flying dragons, really
260
00:19:47,596 --> 00:19:53,133
have been ancient versions of
today's high-tech bomber planes?
261
00:19:53,135 --> 00:19:56,603
Or perhaps something else?
262
00:19:56,605 --> 00:19:59,116
Something even more out Something
even more out of this world?
263
00:19:59,117 --> 00:20:02,053
In March 2010 a
264
00:20:02,137 --> 00:20:12,479
panel of 41 international experts concluded
that the impact of an asteroid that
265
00:20:12,481 --> 00:20:17,651
smashed into Earth at Mexico's
Yucatan Peninsula 65 million
266
00:20:17,653 --> 00:20:22,122
years ago probably triggered
the global climate change that
267
00:20:22,124 --> 00:20:27,394
resulted in the mass extinction
of the Earth's dinosaurs.
268
00:20:27,396 --> 00:20:33,801
But is there also evidence that
some dinosaur species survived?
269
00:20:33,803 --> 00:20:37,738
And if so, might they
also have evolved?
270
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:39,491
CHILDRESS: Paleontologists tell
us that all these things
271
00:20:39,526 --> 00:20:43,989
have been extinct for 65 million years.
Yet this still crop up.
272
00:20:44,024 --> 00:20:49,083
And they appear to be
prehistoric animals, dinosaurs
273
00:20:49,085 --> 00:20:52,553
literally, that have survived
right down to today.
274
00:20:52,555 --> 00:20:56,890
Much like the coelacanth and
alligators and sharks and
275
00:20:56,892 --> 00:21:01,562
turtles also have survived from
those same prehistoric times.
276
00:21:01,564 --> 00:21:04,898
I believe that ancient
prehistoric monsters are still
277
00:21:04,900 --> 00:21:09,737
living in remote areas of the
world, either in oceans and
278
00:21:09,739 --> 00:21:14,375
lakes or jungle areas today.
279
00:21:14,377 --> 00:21:22,549
In the Highlands of Scotland, the legend
of the Loch Ness monster has long been part
280
00:21:22,551 --> 00:21:24,985
of Celtic and Norse folklore.
281
00:21:24,987 --> 00:21:30,791
Recorded accounts of sightings
can be traced to the year 565,
282
00:21:30,793 --> 00:21:34,161
to the Irish monk St. Columba;
283
00:21:34,163 --> 00:21:39,466
A powerful leader who founded monasteries
in both Ireland and Scotland.
284
00:21:39,468 --> 00:21:43,904
In his journals, Columba wrote
of an encounter with people
285
00:21:43,906 --> 00:21:48,357
bearing a man near the shores
of the now-fabled Loch Ness.
286
00:21:49,745 --> 00:21:54,380
MARTELL: They explained to Father Columba
that the man who died had been swimming
287
00:21:54,415 --> 00:21:56,595
in the lake and was attacked by
the water beast.
288
00:21:56,630 --> 00:22:00,454
Upon hearing this, Father Columba sent
his own follower into the lake,
289
00:22:00,489 --> 00:22:04,572
when the beast came out for this man
Father Columba made the sign of a cross
290
00:22:04,607 --> 00:22:07,121
and commanded the beast
not to harm the man.
291
00:22:07,296 --> 00:22:12,800
The beast fled and was never
seen harming another man again.
292
00:22:16,026 --> 00:22:18,713
A lot of people don't realize
how big Loch Ness is.
293
00:22:18,748 --> 00:22:21,849
It's 23 miles long
and a mile wide and
294
00:22:21,884 --> 00:22:24,125
it's deepest point it's
about 800 feet.
295
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:29,599
And the water is very, very dark.
And then since so it is the prime location
296
00:22:29,634 --> 00:22:35,510
where conceivably ** often,
they would sor of by pass detection.
297
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,539
When we are confronted with
the Loch Ness monster or any kind
298
00:22:40,574 --> 00:22:45,144
of anomalous creature the question
really is, what does it come from?
299
00:22:45,365 --> 00:22:50,504
Is it a remnant of the dinosaur
age or is it something which is
300
00:22:50,506 --> 00:22:51,905
out of this world?
301
00:22:51,907 --> 00:22:53,907
We know that, for example, St.
302
00:22:53,909 --> 00:22:57,344
Columba definitely felt that
lake was sacred and that there
303
00:22:57,346 --> 00:23:02,249
was something present there which had a
religious connotation, which is why he
304
00:23:02,251 --> 00:23:04,518
went to that place
to begin with.
305
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,620
REDFERN: The intriguing thing
is that there actually
306
00:23:06,622 --> 00:23:11,058
have been a significant number of
UFO sightings over the Loch itself.
307
00:23:11,060 --> 00:23:14,862
Of strange, brightly lit objects
hovering over the water late at
308
00:23:14,864 --> 00:23:17,698
night, which clearly aren't
helicopters or aircraft or
309
00:23:17,700 --> 00:23:20,267
meteorites or anything
like that at all.
310
00:23:20,269 --> 00:23:23,651
So in other words, Loch Ness
is a weird and spooky place.
311
00:23:27,243 --> 00:23:30,544
NARRATOR: Could the so-called
sea monsters of Loch Ness
312
00:23:30,546 --> 00:23:36,016
possibly be descendants
of ancient dinosaurs?
313
00:23:36,018 --> 00:23:41,488
Or might it be of another, perhaps,
extraterrestrial origin?
314
00:23:41,490 --> 00:23:46,560
And if so, what might this say
about other mythical sea beasts,
315
00:23:46,562 --> 00:23:50,097
like the seven-headed Sumerian
sea monster the leviathan?
316
00:23:50,099 --> 00:23:54,611
YOUNG: The leviathan is sometimes
describes as a serpent or a crocodile
317
00:23:54,646 --> 00:23:59,772
or a dragon, but it lurks.
It is the gatekeeper to a portal to hell.
318
00:24:00,142 --> 00:24:02,643
And this gateway to hell is
apparently deep in the ocean,
319
00:24:02,645 --> 00:24:06,580
and the leviathan is there and the
leviathan is there forever, lurking.
320
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,656
In Greek myths, the Hydra was described as
an ancient sea serpent with many heads.
321
00:24:15,658 --> 00:24:21,395
It was said to be a descendant
of the Earth goddess Gaia.
322
00:24:21,397 --> 00:24:27,134
YOUNG: Hercules was sent to kill the
Hydra, but it was terribly difficult.
323
00:24:27,136 --> 00:24:30,470
He would slice off the head,
and two heads would form
324
00:24:30,472 --> 00:24:33,307
And he had to ask
help from his nephew.
325
00:24:33,309 --> 00:24:36,743
And his nephew had a brilliant
idea, bring a torch.
326
00:24:36,745 --> 00:24:38,946
Fire might keep the
heads from forming.
327
00:24:38,948 --> 00:24:42,082
So Hercules would bash off one
of the heads, and his nephew
328
00:24:42,084 --> 00:24:46,019
would, essentially, cauterize the
neck so another one wouldn't form.
329
00:24:46,021 --> 00:24:49,022
And in this way, the Hydra
was finally defeated.
330
00:24:49,024 --> 00:24:51,925
COPPENS: In the case of a Hydra,
we have something which
331
00:24:51,927 --> 00:24:56,296
has several heads which is once
again a category of a creature
332
00:24:56,298 --> 00:24:58,765
which you would
expect not so see.
333
00:24:58,767 --> 00:25:01,935
So we're either confronted
here with something which was
334
00:25:01,937 --> 00:25:04,938
genetically engineered or which
genetically went wrong, but
335
00:25:04,940 --> 00:25:09,943
clearly it was of such importance that
it was adhered to in mythology where it
336
00:25:09,945 --> 00:25:14,114
attained a status over the
years, over the centuries, up
337
00:25:14,116 --> 00:25:16,483
years, over the centuries, up
until this moment in time.
338
00:25:16,485 --> 00:25:25,158
According to a Scandinavian legend,
the Kraken are legendary sea monsters
339
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,796
of gargantuan size and are said
to have roamed the seas off the
340
00:25:29,798 --> 00:25:32,866
coasts of Norway and Iceland.
341
00:25:32,868 --> 00:25:38,071
This fearsome beast was infamous
for its attacks on sailing ships.
342
00:25:38,073 --> 00:25:40,340
YOUNG: The danger was not
only being attacked by the
343
00:25:40,342 --> 00:25:44,177
Kraken, they would come up to
the surface, and were enormous;
344
00:25:44,179 --> 00:25:45,612
The size of small islands.
345
00:25:45,614 --> 00:25:50,350
So you could have a collision with a
Kraken that wasn't even out to attack you.
346
00:25:50,352 --> 00:25:53,854
Another great danger was that if
it submerged suddenly, it formed
347
00:25:53,856 --> 00:25:55,355
such a great whirlpool that it
348
00:25:55,357 --> 00:25:57,691
could pull a ship under.
349
00:25:57,693 --> 00:26:06,433
Could such legendary sea monsters
have actually existed?
350
00:26:06,435 --> 00:26:12,172
Might they have escaped extinction
in the safety of cold deep waters?
351
00:26:12,174 --> 00:26:15,809
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, there is evidence of
352
00:26:15,811 --> 00:26:21,515
the origin of giant sea creatures in
the sacred texts of the Hebrew Bible.
353
00:26:21,517 --> 00:26:24,151
YOUNG: A very early account
of an encounter with some
354
00:26:24,153 --> 00:26:29,222
kind of monstrous sea creature
is found in the Bible,
355
00:26:29,224 --> 00:26:30,490
the story of Jonah.
356
00:26:30,492 --> 00:26:34,594
Here Jonah was not fulfilling
his destiny, and his punishment
357
00:26:34,596 --> 00:26:38,065
was to be thrown off a
boat into the ocean.
358
00:26:38,067 --> 00:26:41,802
CHILDRESS: Jonah is swallowed
by this giant fish sent by God.
359
00:26:41,804 --> 00:26:45,806
He spends three days and three
nights inside of this giant
360
00:26:45,808 --> 00:26:50,143
fish, and then is spewed out.
361
00:26:50,145 --> 00:26:53,046
RUEHL: If Jonah, a human being,
had been swallowed, he
362
00:26:53,048 --> 00:26:56,149
first of all would have been
ripped up by the creature's
363
00:26:56,151 --> 00:27:00,253
teeth, then been crushed as
it was swallowed, and perhaps
364
00:27:00,255 --> 00:27:04,958
stomach acids would have destroyed
his skin and internal organs.
365
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,894
So I propose there's no way
he could have survived being
366
00:27:07,896 --> 00:27:11,898
swallowed by whatever this entity
was, if it was a fish or whale.
367
00:27:11,900 --> 00:27:16,909
TSOUKALOS: So the question I have,
is this truly a description of Jonah
368
00:27:16,944 --> 00:27:20,613
being swallowed up by
a biological animal?
369
00:27:20,648 --> 00:27:25,779
Because in some references, we
can read that the ribs of that
370
00:27:25,781 --> 00:27:29,750
whale were made out
of gleaming bronze.
371
00:27:29,752 --> 00:27:33,587
Now, that, to me, is a
description of some type of
372
00:27:33,589 --> 00:27:39,226
technological device
that was made of metal.
373
00:27:39,228 --> 00:27:43,497
Jonah was, in fact, not
swallowed by a whale, but by a
374
00:27:43,499 --> 00:27:50,604
USO, an unidentified
submersible object.
375
00:27:50,606 --> 00:27:53,507
COPPENS: Jonah disappeared into
an object which was clearly
376
00:27:53,509 --> 00:27:56,977
of a manmade or extraterrestrial
origin, and which was of such a
377
00:27:56,979 --> 00:28:01,148
specific interest that he not
only related the story, but that
378
00:28:01,150 --> 00:28:04,718
thousands of years after it occurred,
we're still talking about it today.
379
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,294
REDFERN: I think we need to look
stories like this at a date level.
380
00:28:08,329 --> 00:28:10,752
Not to real the matter
of just mythology
381
00:28:10,766 --> 00:28:15,525
but to determine if the people reporting
these things actually had real experiences,
382
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,299
but they were just trying to
incorporate into their...
383
00:28:18,334 --> 00:28:20,762
The way they understood the world,
the world at that time.
384
00:28:22,195 --> 00:28:25,806
NARRATOR: Could alien beings
really have lurked beneath the
385
00:28:25,808 --> 00:28:28,108
seas in submersible machines?
386
00:28:28,110 --> 00:28:31,478
If so, why were they there?
387
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,483
Might they have come to share
advanced technology with humans?
388
00:28:36,485 --> 00:28:38,618
Or did they come for another,
389
00:28:38,620 --> 00:28:41,621
perhaps more sinister reason?
390
00:28:48,473 --> 00:28:51,439
Medical University,
Russia, 1954.
391
00:28:51,441 --> 00:28:55,643
Soviet scientist and organ
transplant pioneer Vladimir
392
00:28:55,645 --> 00:29:02,550
Demikhov surgically produces a
fully functioning two-headed dog.
393
00:29:02,552 --> 00:29:07,589
GLENN: What he did was he
took the upper torso of a dog
394
00:29:07,591 --> 00:29:13,395
and grafted it onto the
neck of another dog.
395
00:29:13,397 --> 00:29:18,900
And surprisingly, this creature
lived for a few weeks.
396
00:29:18,902 --> 00:29:28,141
Demikhov brought it to
medical shows as evidence
397
00:29:29,879 --> 00:29:30,587
that he could do this,
that these sort of
398
00:29:30,622 --> 00:29:33,248
hybrids, that these sort
of things could be done.
399
00:29:33,250 --> 00:29:37,352
NARRATOR: Although, highly
controversial, the transplant
400
00:29:37,354 --> 00:29:41,790
pioneer's audacious experiments
paved the way for the first
401
00:29:41,792 --> 00:29:46,628
human heart transplant in 1967.
402
00:29:46,630 --> 00:29:50,065
But while the image of
Demikhov's dog is disturbing,
403
00:29:50,067 --> 00:29:54,969
ancient astronaut theorists
believe our early ancestors also
404
00:29:54,971 --> 00:30:00,742
left behind evidence of
equally bizarre creatures.
405
00:30:00,744 --> 00:30:04,317
TSOUKALOS: The great thing about the
ancient alien theory
406
00:30:04,352 --> 00:30:11,485
is that we can compare modern achievements
with stories from our ancient past.
407
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:17,959
And so if today we're able to
create a two-headed dog with six
408
00:30:17,961 --> 00:30:24,265
legs, is it possible that a similar
creature existed thousands of years ago?
409
00:30:24,267 --> 00:30:26,968
And I say yes.
410
00:30:29,576 --> 00:30:34,609
In the Greek epic poems of Homer's Odyssey
and the Iliad, a vicious three-headed
411
00:30:34,611 --> 00:30:39,848
dog named Cerberus guards the dog named
Cerberus guards the gates of Hades.
412
00:30:43,249 --> 00:30:46,638
According to the myths,
Cerberus was descended
413
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,778
from the Greek gods
Typhon and Echidna.
414
00:30:51,161 --> 00:30:55,964
But might the so-called gods
that created the strange beast
415
00:30:55,966 --> 00:31:00,768
really have been early Earth
visitors misinterpreted as gods,
416
00:31:00,770 --> 00:31:05,073
as ancient alien
theorists believe?
417
00:31:05,075 --> 00:31:09,671
RADER: The humans and gods
were kind of still living among
418
00:31:09,706 --> 00:31:12,583
one another, all of this
interbreeding, this fertility
419
00:31:12,618 --> 00:31:18,838
like produces all of these monsters and
you do not want to meet these monsters,
420
00:31:18,873 --> 00:31:20,826
it's another kind of thing you
don't want to encounter.
421
00:31:20,861 --> 00:31:25,690
And if one guard dog is ferocious
and terrifying you can imagine 3
422
00:31:25,725 --> 00:31:28,544
of them, but all on one body.
423
00:31:29,803 --> 00:31:34,361
If Cerberus is a factual creature,
then really what we're talking about
424
00:31:34,396 --> 00:31:39,277
here is somebody with the knowledge and
technology to create a multi headed animal.
425
00:31:39,372 --> 00:31:43,344
And so we are dealing with
extraterrestrial technology.
426
00:31:43,346 --> 00:31:47,148
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
Cerberus and other hybrids, like
427
00:31:47,150 --> 00:31:54,055
the griffon, the Egyptian Ammit
or the Greek Chimera, were in
428
00:31:54,057 --> 00:31:59,060
fact created through advanced
alien transplant procedures we
429
00:31:59,062 --> 00:32:01,329
have yet to discover?
430
00:32:01,331 --> 00:32:04,232
COPPENS: Any civilization
which has contacted us in the
431
00:32:04,234 --> 00:32:08,102
past or which is contacting us
today, roughly needs to be at
432
00:32:08,104 --> 00:32:13,007
our level of technological
advancement.
433
00:32:13,009 --> 00:32:15,076
It's probably going to
be a bit beyond that.
434
00:32:15,078 --> 00:32:17,645
And that also means that it's
not just the science of space
435
00:32:17,647 --> 00:32:21,816
travel, but all sciences which are
going to be somewhat more advanced.
436
00:32:21,818 --> 00:32:24,919
So we know that the
extraterrestrial who comes to
437
00:32:24,921 --> 00:32:28,556
Earth from a distant place will
have this medical knowledge.
438
00:32:28,558 --> 00:32:31,659
NOORY: There was some kind
of experimentation going on.
439
00:32:31,661 --> 00:32:33,528
Novelty, a zoo.
440
00:32:33,562 --> 00:32:37,265
Let's see what we can do.
We'll play with these creatures.
441
00:32:37,267 --> 00:32:41,069
Let's take this animal
and give him two heads.
442
00:32:41,071 --> 00:32:45,440
Let's take this dragon
and give him wings.
443
00:32:45,442 --> 00:32:47,108
Let's let him breathe fire.
444
00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:48,910
Let's have some fun.
445
00:32:48,912 --> 00:32:52,113
Maybe that's what they did.
446
00:32:52,115 --> 00:32:54,482
NARRATOR: Depictions of
monsters that are half beast,
447
00:32:54,484 --> 00:33:02,190
half human can be found dating
as far back as 5000 B.C.
448
00:33:02,192 --> 00:33:09,097
The centaur, the Minotaur and
Medusa are all hybrid creatures
449
00:33:09,099 --> 00:33:14,535
described as being created described
as being created by gods.
450
00:33:17,988 --> 00:33:20,311
Researchers point to the origin stories
451
00:33:20,447 --> 00:33:25,947
of these creatures as
further evidence of alien contact.
452
00:33:26,048 --> 00:33:29,932
YOUNG: In Greek mythology, the Centaur
was half human half horse.
453
00:33:29,967 --> 00:33:33,368
The torso of a human would be
joined to a horse at the shoulders.
454
00:33:33,403 --> 00:33:37,386
And this would leave them in
perpetual attention between the
455
00:33:37,421 --> 00:33:41,801
row animal instinct of the horse
and the more civilized morality
456
00:33:41,836 --> 00:33:43,300
of a human consciousness.
457
00:33:43,333 --> 00:33:47,881
And interesting the enough when
we start looking towards mythology
458
00:33:47,916 --> 00:33:50,648
we actually find specifically in the
case of the Minotaur
459
00:33:50,683 --> 00:33:55,333
this has to have been done
specifically by the Gods.
460
00:33:58,693 --> 00:34:02,220
In India, the epic text
the Mahabharatah
461
00:34:02,255 --> 00:34:05,050
details the ancient account
of a Naga.
462
00:34:05,085 --> 00:34:07,826
A half human half snake deity.
463
00:34:09,206 --> 00:34:12,228
The Naga was a serpent God in
both Hindu and Buddhist mythology.
464
00:34:12,263 --> 00:34:14,959
It was known to have human
and serpent like traits.
465
00:34:14,994 --> 00:34:18,111
It was also know to be
persecutors of all creatures,
466
00:34:18,146 --> 00:34:20,002
very poisonous and
with great strength.
467
00:34:21,784 --> 00:34:25,156
A question that raises as to
why ETs might create
468
00:34:25,191 --> 00:34:27,748
these various hybrids.
Of course, first of all
469
00:34:27,783 --> 00:34:31,747
point out scientific curiosity.
Once you develop the technology,
470
00:34:31,782 --> 00:34:34,178
you wanna see where you can take it.
Would humans do that?
471
00:34:34,213 --> 00:34:35,890
I think any intelligent beings would.
472
00:34:35,925 --> 00:34:38,917
But they might have created
these very hybrid creatures
473
00:34:38,952 --> 00:34:42,863
tu actually intimidate the
existing human population.
474
00:34:42,898 --> 00:34:44,528
So they would give no trouble.
475
00:34:44,563 --> 00:34:48,626
Or perhaps they created these
creatures so they would be thought as Gods
476
00:34:48,661 --> 00:34:50,001
and be worshiped.
477
00:34:50,310 --> 00:34:54,384
Even if they know they are advanced aliens,
they might ** attention from humans.
478
00:34:54,419 --> 00:35:00,131
Perhaps they wanted some type
of slave labor that would just not be
479
00:35:00,166 --> 00:35:05,524
a dumb animal. By adding human
intelligence to, let's say, a bull,
480
00:35:05,559 --> 00:35:10,351
they could create a creature that would
be able to move quite a bit of weight,
481
00:35:10,386 --> 00:35:16,434
and work without exhaustion but still
have the intelligence to follow rules.
482
00:35:19,571 --> 00:35:26,215
In 1970, scientists from Case Western
Reserve University School of Medicine
483
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:31,599
led by doctor Robert J. White performed
the highly controversial operation.
484
00:35:32,929 --> 00:35:38,165
Transplanting the head of one monkey
onto the body of another.
485
00:35:40,202 --> 00:35:44,536
He was an excellent surgeon,
superior technician and
486
00:35:44,571 --> 00:35:47,787
had come to ** from Mayo clinic,
where I think he learnt
487
00:35:47,822 --> 00:35:52,612
a really excellent care in the
operating room.
488
00:35:53,682 --> 00:35:58,240
Within this room there's a large amount of
items from my dad's original laboratory.
489
00:36:00,086 --> 00:36:04,370
This is a halo, a brain transplant
halo device, it would clamp the brain
490
00:36:04,405 --> 00:36:08,251
in here as such and then he
could actually put the patient in
491
00:36:08,286 --> 00:36:10,865
and complete the transplant
with the body here.
492
00:36:11,644 --> 00:36:14,401
This would hold the brain, the
monkey's brain and
493
00:36:14,436 --> 00:36:16,178
then the transplant could occur here
494
00:36:16,213 --> 00:36:19,391
with the spinal connection and
the connection to the neck, right here.
495
00:36:25,975 --> 00:36:30,028
They transferred the head, it was
essentially a brain transplant,
496
00:36:30,063 --> 00:36:32,109
but taking the whole head.
497
00:36:33,061 --> 00:36:39,460
He was able to resort consciousness
to the head of the monkey
498
00:36:39,495 --> 00:36:44,487
who had been transplanted and
kept it alive for approximately 3 days.
499
00:36:45,727 --> 00:36:49,606
The monkey was able to open his eyes,
he was able to hear, see and smell.
500
00:36:49,641 --> 00:36:53,941
And as a result he could show that this
procedure could be done and could work.
501
00:36:54,771 --> 00:36:59,388
Even in our stage on Earth we have
the ability to transplant one head
502
00:36:59,423 --> 00:37:04,839
onto another creature. Now, that certainly
argues to the possibility at the very santities.
503
00:37:04,874 --> 00:37:12,470
Like the Minotaur, the Hydra,
and even the Griffin.
504
00:37:13,470 --> 00:37:16,803
Could be created by
advanced transplantology.
505
00:37:21,622 --> 00:37:25,325
If extraterrestrials visited Earth
in ancient times
506
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,477
might the tales nd depictions
of weird hybrid monsters
507
00:37:29,512 --> 00:37:34,074
actually provide evidence
of alien contact?
508
00:37:34,109 --> 00:37:38,318
Or do they provide clues to
our own future?
509
00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:42,732
A future that may be
closer than we think.
510
00:37:51,513 --> 00:37:58,537
In 2003 Chinese scientist Wishan Cheng
at the Shangai 2nd Medical University
511
00:37:59,331 --> 00:38:03,597
successfully fused human cells
with rabbit eggs.
512
00:38:04,178 --> 00:38:07,532
The embryos were the first
human and animal hybrids
513
00:38:07,918 --> 00:38:10,264
created through genetic engineering.
514
00:38:11,984 --> 00:38:16,654
He took rabbit egg cells and removed all
of the nucleus material from them
515
00:38:16,813 --> 00:38:21,463
all the instructions that tells
them to develop into a rabbit embryo.
516
00:38:23,178 --> 00:38:27,521
She replaced it with a similar
instructions set but from a human cell.
517
00:38:28,448 --> 00:38:33,981
So essentially the embryo was human
with small elements of rabbit.
518
00:38:35,796 --> 00:38:41,883
Why would researchers want to
combine rabbit DNA and human DNA?
519
00:38:43,087 --> 00:38:47,032
The first reason is for medical
research purposes.
520
00:38:47,373 --> 00:38:49,602
Perhaps for organ transplantation...
521
00:38:50,705 --> 00:38:55,492
The second reason is to create
an in-hands human.
522
00:38:55,916 --> 00:38:59,928
That is give the human some sort
of quality that might not have
523
00:39:00,070 --> 00:39:06,523
unless ***. Although is hard
for me to imagine what that would be.
524
00:39:09,827 --> 00:39:15,077
A year later, in 2004 researchers
at Minnesota's Mayo clinic
525
00:39:15,817 --> 00:39:19,610
created pigs with human blood
flowing through their bodies.
526
00:39:20,066 --> 00:39:21,943
One of the animals that is
actually quite close to us
527
00:39:22,032 --> 00:39:25,812
surprisingly enough in terms
of genetics is the pig.
528
00:39:26,835 --> 00:39:31,012
And one of the ideas these
people followed is the idea
529
00:39:31,127 --> 00:39:34,766
of luxury having almost like
pig factories to grow hearts.
530
00:39:34,910 --> 00:39:39,064
The people who need heart transplants and
lately, you know, you have a pig's heart
531
00:39:39,262 --> 00:39:43,623
inserted into your body and, you know,
with certain drugs to prevent the organs
532
00:39:43,727 --> 00:39:46,538
being rejected you could
live a full and viable life.
533
00:39:50,922 --> 00:39:53,007
At this moment in time,
medical technology is able to
534
00:39:53,110 --> 00:39:58,167
create weird situations, genetic
things which shouldn't really happen
535
00:39:58,258 --> 00:40:02,262
and which do not happen unless you
start to make genetic modifications.
536
00:40:02,731 --> 00:40:07,712
This is evidence of manipulation of
the genetically available material.
537
00:40:09,134 --> 00:40:12,076
We are creating hybrid monsters
as we speak.
538
00:40:13,765 --> 00:40:15,989
If modern science today
would be able to create
539
00:40:16,132 --> 00:40:20,451
a hybrid being, a mixed being,
then that would in essence
540
00:40:20,598 --> 00:40:26,021
corroborate the ancient alien theory
because we are merely saying that
541
00:40:26,115 --> 00:40:32,033
what today is being discovered is a
rediscovery of what already took place
542
00:40:32,167 --> 00:40:34,075
thousands of years ago.
543
00:40:36,079 --> 00:40:39,047
Meaning genetic experimentation.
544
00:40:39,049 --> 00:40:48,457
But is there any actual evidence of DNA
splicing in the ancient past?
545
00:40:48,459 --> 00:40:55,097
In 1849, in what is now Iraq,
British archaeologist Austen
546
00:40:55,099 --> 00:40:59,701
Henry Layard uncovered numerous
Sumerian clay tablets inscribed
547
00:40:59,703 --> 00:41:05,774
with cuneiform script
dating to 4000 B.C.
548
00:41:05,776 --> 00:41:09,511
Based on interpretations of the
tablets, ancient astronaut
549
00:41:09,513 --> 00:41:13,849
theorists believe an advanced
race of intelligent beings
550
00:41:13,851 --> 00:41:19,654
arrived on Earth 450,000
years ago, during the age of
551
00:41:19,656 --> 00:41:26,128
Neanderthals... and through genetic
engineering, they created Homo Sapiens--
552
00:41:26,130 --> 00:41:31,666
what is commonly referred to
as modern-day human beings.
553
00:41:31,668 --> 00:41:36,490
NOORY: The Sumerians talk about
a civilization that came here from above
554
00:41:36,525 --> 00:41:39,227
on another planet called Nibiru.
555
00:41:39,262 --> 00:41:42,968
And they called these creatures
the Anunnaki.
556
00:41:43,003 --> 00:41:47,492
High level people who came here
to mine for gold.
557
00:41:47,547 --> 00:41:51,153
And in order to do it, they
need to genetically alter the
558
00:41:51,155 --> 00:41:56,057
species that happened to be
on the planet at the time.
559
00:41:56,059 --> 00:41:59,828
They created man according
to the Sumerian texts.
560
00:41:59,830 --> 00:42:05,167
ARMSTRONG: It is not impossible
that we exist as the
561
00:42:05,169 --> 00:42:10,071
result of gene
manipulation experiments.
562
00:42:10,073 --> 00:42:13,708
There are so many stars and
galaxies out there in space that
563
00:42:13,710 --> 00:42:18,180
it's impossible for a scientist
such as myself to say that there
564
00:42:18,182 --> 00:42:22,517
are not alien species out there
who could have visited the Earth
565
00:42:22,519 --> 00:42:24,619
at some point in
the distant past.
566
00:42:24,621 --> 00:42:28,623
So it is entirely possible that
someone or something could have
567
00:42:28,625 --> 00:42:33,428
come along and manipulated
those organisms.
568
00:42:33,430 --> 00:42:37,532
TSOUKALOS: So this inherently
means that if extraterrestrials
569
00:42:37,534 --> 00:42:44,072
tampered with our own DNA, they could
have also tampered with animal DNA.
570
00:42:44,074 --> 00:42:49,711
They could have used all sorts of DNA
from every single animal on planet Earth.
571
00:42:49,713 --> 00:42:53,081
GLENN: The creation of a
chimeric monster is certainly
572
00:42:53,083 --> 00:42:59,554
something that will probably be possible
within the next 20 to 30 years.
573
00:42:59,556 --> 00:43:06,962
We have the technology now to
create these kinds of chimeras,
574
00:43:06,964 --> 00:43:10,632
something that might be perceived
as a monster, but what
575
00:43:10,634 --> 00:43:17,639
we don't have right now is the technology
to bring such a creature to term.
576
00:43:17,641 --> 00:43:20,809
But that's only a
matter of time.
577
00:43:20,811 --> 00:43:23,812
NARRATOR: If the mythical
monsters of the ancient past
578
00:43:23,814 --> 00:43:27,883
really did exist,
what were they?
579
00:43:27,885 --> 00:43:30,886
Messengers from alien gods?
580
00:43:30,888 --> 00:43:33,989
Products of genetic
experimentation?
581
00:43:33,991 --> 00:43:36,591
Biomechanical weapons?
582
00:43:36,593 --> 00:43:41,796
And if they did exist, where
is the physical evidence?
583
00:43:41,798 --> 00:43:45,000
Still buried miles
beneath our feet?
584
00:43:45,708 --> 00:43:53,430
Or are they, in fact, still out there,
somewhere, waiting to return?
585
