1
00:00:01,375 --> 00:00:03,585
Throughout the ancient world,
2
00:00:03,703 --> 00:00:05,790
there were tales of mortals
3
00:00:05,875 --> 00:00:07,281
and immortals.
4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,212
In Christian traditions,
5
00:00:09,297 --> 00:00:10,630
in Islamic traditions,
6
00:00:10,750 --> 00:00:12,062
and Hindu traditions,
7
00:00:12,147 --> 00:00:14,355
you have these divine beings
who live forever.
8
00:00:14,672 --> 00:00:18,588
Could these stories be
accounts of alien visitors
9
00:00:18,713 --> 00:00:23,009
who traveled to Earth from
thousands of light years away?
10
00:00:23,345 --> 00:00:25,537
Imagine an advanced civilization
11
00:00:25,630 --> 00:00:27,706
that has interstellar travel.
12
00:00:27,791 --> 00:00:30,494
If they can travel
through the stars, they could
13
00:00:30,579 --> 00:00:33,923
stretch their longevity
maybe even to centuries.
14
00:00:34,869 --> 00:00:37,005
And if humans are to one day
15
00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:38,423
colonize other planets,
16
00:00:38,508 --> 00:00:40,342
will we too need to discover
17
00:00:40,427 --> 00:00:43,659
the key to immortality?
18
00:00:43,744 --> 00:00:46,002
What our extraterrestrial
ancestors
19
00:00:46,087 --> 00:00:47,370
have wanted us to do
20
00:00:47,455 --> 00:00:49,205
is be like them.
21
00:00:49,330 --> 00:00:52,799
They want us to be a spacefaring
race that goes to the stars.
22
00:00:52,884 --> 00:00:55,697
And to live
these extended lives where
23
00:00:55,782 --> 00:00:58,291
we become essentially immortal.
24
00:01:01,121 --> 00:01:02,829
There is a doorway
25
00:01:02,914 --> 00:01:05,497
in the universe.
26
00:01:05,581 --> 00:01:08,706
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
27
00:01:09,997 --> 00:01:12,581
It demands
we question everything
28
00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:15,039
we have ever been taught.
29
00:01:15,164 --> 00:01:18,497
The evidence is all around us.
30
00:01:18,622 --> 00:01:22,539
The future is
right before our eyes.
31
00:01:22,664 --> 00:01:25,247
We are not alone.
32
00:01:25,372 --> 00:01:28,497
We have never been alone.
33
00:01:36,869 --> 00:01:38,869
Oxford, England
34
00:01:38,954 --> 00:01:42,412
The Ashmolean Museum
of art and archaeology.
35
00:01:43,414 --> 00:01:46,872
Among the hundreds of
historic artifacts on display
36
00:01:46,997 --> 00:01:50,039
is an ancient
Sumerian cuneiform text.
37
00:01:50,164 --> 00:01:53,539
Dating back to at least
2000 BC,
38
00:01:53,706 --> 00:01:57,379
the four-sided clay document
is a list of kings
39
00:01:57,528 --> 00:02:01,122
who lived far longer than
the average human life span.
40
00:02:02,551 --> 00:02:04,787
In the Ashmolean Museum
at Oxford,
41
00:02:04,872 --> 00:02:06,372
there's an astounding artifact.
42
00:02:06,456 --> 00:02:08,956
It's referred to as WB44,
43
00:02:09,081 --> 00:02:10,789
the Sumerian Kings List.
44
00:02:12,456 --> 00:02:15,831
On one panel, it tells us
about eight kings
45
00:02:15,956 --> 00:02:19,497
that ruled over five cities, and
what's astounding about this
46
00:02:19,622 --> 00:02:22,581
is the length of
the reigns of these kings.
47
00:02:22,747 --> 00:02:27,206
One king is said to have ruled
for 43,200 years.
48
00:02:27,331 --> 00:02:30,956
Another king rules
for 28,000 years.
49
00:02:31,081 --> 00:02:32,497
It's astounding.
50
00:02:33,581 --> 00:02:36,372
Curiously,
the Sumerian Kings List
51
00:02:36,497 --> 00:02:38,872
is not the only
ancient record of rulers
52
00:02:38,997 --> 00:02:41,206
who lived for centuries.
53
00:02:41,877 --> 00:02:44,940
A curious document
was found in a tomb
54
00:02:45,025 --> 00:02:46,372
in Luxor,
55
00:02:46,497 --> 00:02:49,789
and it's called the, uh,
Turin Kings List.
56
00:02:51,622 --> 00:02:54,747
We only have fragments
of this document,
57
00:02:54,914 --> 00:02:57,372
but what this document lays out
58
00:02:57,539 --> 00:03:00,456
is that many of the really early
59
00:03:00,581 --> 00:03:03,372
Egyptian pharaohs had lives
60
00:03:03,497 --> 00:03:06,081
that were many
hundreds of years,
61
00:03:06,247 --> 00:03:09,122
and that some
of these pharaohs lived
62
00:03:09,247 --> 00:03:12,456
for 700, 800, 900 years.
63
00:03:13,622 --> 00:03:17,331
We have a similar story
in the Bible of Methuselah
64
00:03:17,456 --> 00:03:19,081
and that he's said to have lived
65
00:03:19,206 --> 00:03:22,539
for 969 years.
66
00:03:22,622 --> 00:03:26,206
So, how is it that
people are able
67
00:03:26,331 --> 00:03:29,289
to live such great ages?
68
00:03:30,747 --> 00:03:32,622
Is it merely coincidence
69
00:03:32,747 --> 00:03:35,581
that in three different
ancient traditions
70
00:03:35,706 --> 00:03:37,997
there are records
of their earliest leaders
71
00:03:38,122 --> 00:03:40,372
living impossibly long lives?
72
00:03:41,247 --> 00:03:45,206
Curiously,
in all three cultures, it was
73
00:03:45,331 --> 00:03:48,247
also recorded that, during
the time when people lived
74
00:03:48,414 --> 00:03:51,539
to these incredible ages,
humans shared the Earth
75
00:03:51,706 --> 00:03:54,581
with beings who came down
from the sky.
76
00:03:55,723 --> 00:03:58,122
The ancient Egyptians
referred to
77
00:03:58,247 --> 00:04:00,539
a-a time called the first time,
78
00:04:00,664 --> 00:04:03,747
when the gods walked among men.
79
00:04:04,997 --> 00:04:08,539
Ancient Egyptian creation
mythology tells us that these
80
00:04:08,622 --> 00:04:12,622
original god beings
came from the stars.
81
00:04:12,747 --> 00:04:15,289
This sounds very much like
the arrival of the Anunnaki,
82
00:04:15,414 --> 00:04:18,539
the divine lords of light
of the Sumerian tradition
83
00:04:18,622 --> 00:04:22,456
when they arrived
atop Mount Kerzok.
84
00:04:22,581 --> 00:04:25,539
It's also virtually identical
to the arrival of the Watchers.
85
00:04:25,664 --> 00:04:29,247
The Watchers are the angels
86
00:04:29,372 --> 00:04:31,039
of the Old Testament.
87
00:04:31,164 --> 00:04:34,164
They are the fallen angels
88
00:04:34,247 --> 00:04:35,539
who came to Earth
89
00:04:35,664 --> 00:04:38,039
and intermingled with humans.
90
00:04:41,206 --> 00:04:43,247
The Watchers, like divine beings
91
00:04:43,414 --> 00:04:45,331
in many other ancient cultures,
92
00:04:45,414 --> 00:04:48,706
were referred to as immortals,
but often
93
00:04:48,797 --> 00:04:52,752
they were described as having
very human like traits.
94
00:04:53,331 --> 00:04:55,206
There were 200
of these Watchers,
95
00:04:55,289 --> 00:04:57,539
and they were led by, uh,
96
00:04:57,775 --> 00:04:59,775
an individual named Samyaza.
97
00:05:00,526 --> 00:05:01,872
They shone.
98
00:05:01,956 --> 00:05:03,706
There was a translucence.
99
00:05:03,831 --> 00:05:07,372
There was an aura about them
that was as bright as the Sun.
100
00:05:07,539 --> 00:05:11,289
But they seem to be more human
in their appetites
101
00:05:11,414 --> 00:05:13,956
than one would like to believe.
102
00:05:14,081 --> 00:05:15,456
They're hungry, they eat,
103
00:05:15,581 --> 00:05:17,414
they want affection, they lust.
104
00:05:18,747 --> 00:05:22,289
I think that the Watchers
most definitely
105
00:05:22,414 --> 00:05:25,206
are extraterrestrials
who came to Earth.
106
00:05:25,372 --> 00:05:28,914
Countless ancient,
original cultures
107
00:05:29,081 --> 00:05:32,039
speak of a time when the gods
108
00:05:32,164 --> 00:05:33,872
descended from the sky
109
00:05:33,956 --> 00:05:37,539
and mingled with people
to impart their knowledge.
110
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:39,956
Ancient Egypt,
111
00:05:40,206 --> 00:05:41,747
ancient China,
112
00:05:41,872 --> 00:05:43,414
ancient Sumeria,
113
00:05:43,539 --> 00:05:45,122
ancient Japan,
114
00:05:45,247 --> 00:05:47,122
ancient Greece.
115
00:05:47,247 --> 00:05:49,372
And so, I think
the different cultures
116
00:05:49,497 --> 00:05:52,206
were visited
by the same teachers,
117
00:05:52,289 --> 00:05:53,539
who were extraterrestrials.
118
00:05:53,622 --> 00:05:55,539
Could it be
119
00:05:55,664 --> 00:05:58,039
that the earliest
human civilizations
120
00:05:58,122 --> 00:06:01,664
shared the Earth with visitors
from another world?
121
00:06:01,789 --> 00:06:02,956
And if so,
122
00:06:03,081 --> 00:06:05,706
is this somehow connected
to the ancient records
123
00:06:05,831 --> 00:06:09,747
of people who lived
extraordinarily long lives?
124
00:06:10,872 --> 00:06:14,206
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest an important clue
125
00:06:14,331 --> 00:06:16,497
can be found in a famous verse
126
00:06:16,581 --> 00:06:19,706
from the Bible that
is often mistranslated.
127
00:06:19,831 --> 00:06:22,664
In many English versions
of the Book of Genesis,
128
00:06:22,789 --> 00:06:25,497
chapter one, verse 27 states
129
00:06:25,581 --> 00:06:28,997
that "God created man
in his own image."
130
00:06:29,286 --> 00:06:30,997
But in the original Hebrew,
131
00:06:31,122 --> 00:06:35,630
instead of "his" image,
it says "our" image.
132
00:06:35,747 --> 00:06:39,539
God says in Genesis,
"Let us make man in our image."
133
00:06:39,622 --> 00:06:41,831
Well, you have to say,
"Well, who is 'our'?
134
00:06:41,956 --> 00:06:43,664
Who-who are the
other people there?"
135
00:06:44,747 --> 00:06:48,539
Well, the word "God"
in Hebrew is "Elohim,"
136
00:06:48,664 --> 00:06:51,039
and that is plural.
137
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,188
If you look at
the original Hebrew
138
00:06:54,273 --> 00:06:56,497
in which the sentence
was written,
139
00:06:56,593 --> 00:07:00,000
all of a sudden
you have the truth
140
00:07:00,085 --> 00:07:02,923
because, according to
the ancient astronaut theory,
141
00:07:03,008 --> 00:07:06,571
someone came
and someone altered our DNA
142
00:07:06,656 --> 00:07:08,131
in order for us
143
00:07:08,216 --> 00:07:09,674
to become humans
144
00:07:09,799 --> 00:07:13,216
and essentially gave us
more intelligence.
145
00:07:14,814 --> 00:07:16,875
Practically every culture,
146
00:07:17,049 --> 00:07:19,674
including our Bible, says,
"In the beginning,
147
00:07:19,841 --> 00:07:21,758
God, " in the plurals, " created
148
00:07:21,883 --> 00:07:25,633
humans according
their own image."
149
00:07:25,758 --> 00:07:27,591
I'm a deep believer in God,
150
00:07:27,716 --> 00:07:30,008
but God is something gigantic,
151
00:07:30,133 --> 00:07:32,674
spiritual, not explainable.
152
00:07:32,799 --> 00:07:35,674
In my opinion,
when you read the Bible,
153
00:07:35,799 --> 00:07:39,008
it's all about
extraterrestrials.
154
00:07:39,133 --> 00:07:41,008
Part of ancient astronaut theory
155
00:07:41,091 --> 00:07:44,383
is that what
our extraterrestrial
156
00:07:44,549 --> 00:07:46,633
ancestors have wanted us to do
157
00:07:46,716 --> 00:07:48,508
is be like them.
158
00:07:50,008 --> 00:07:51,883
They want us to achieve
159
00:07:52,049 --> 00:07:54,799
the same things
that they achieved.
160
00:07:55,674 --> 00:07:58,841
The goal was,
some thousands of years
161
00:07:59,008 --> 00:08:00,549
in the far future,
162
00:08:00,716 --> 00:08:04,216
this humanity should be able
to construct spaceships
163
00:08:04,341 --> 00:08:06,924
to spread out
in the universe again.
164
00:08:10,549 --> 00:08:13,841
If Homo sapiens were
genetically engineered
165
00:08:13,924 --> 00:08:16,008
by extraterrestrial
space travelers
166
00:08:16,174 --> 00:08:17,841
to one day become like them
167
00:08:17,966 --> 00:08:20,591
and seed life on other planets,
168
00:08:20,716 --> 00:08:24,508
what might this mean for
the future of the human race?
169
00:08:24,591 --> 00:08:28,674
Some experts have suggested
that interstellar travel
170
00:08:28,758 --> 00:08:32,174
will only be possible
when science finds a way
171
00:08:32,299 --> 00:08:35,799
to dramatically extend
the human life span.
172
00:08:35,883 --> 00:08:38,091
Maybe our generation,
173
00:08:38,216 --> 00:08:40,091
with new developments
in technologies,
174
00:08:40,216 --> 00:08:43,133
will be living
to the mid-100s, 150,
175
00:08:43,216 --> 00:08:46,008
maybe even up to 200
in the next few decades.
176
00:08:46,133 --> 00:08:49,091
So, imagine
an advanced civilization
177
00:08:49,216 --> 00:08:51,341
that has interstellar travel.
178
00:08:51,466 --> 00:08:54,258
Certainly, if they can travel
through the stars,
179
00:08:54,383 --> 00:08:57,924
they could stretch
their longevity
180
00:08:58,049 --> 00:09:00,091
maybe even to centuries.
181
00:09:01,883 --> 00:09:04,799
Could it be that
the ancient people
182
00:09:04,883 --> 00:09:06,883
referred to the gods
as "immortals"
183
00:09:07,049 --> 00:09:09,008
because they encountered
space travelers
184
00:09:09,133 --> 00:09:11,383
who lived
for thousands of years?
185
00:09:11,549 --> 00:09:13,549
And if so,
186
00:09:13,716 --> 00:09:15,674
is it possible
that there are records
187
00:09:15,841 --> 00:09:18,174
of early rulers
living for centuries
188
00:09:18,341 --> 00:09:22,606
because these visitors somehow
extended their life spans?
189
00:09:23,591 --> 00:09:26,508
It was natural for people
190
00:09:26,591 --> 00:09:28,133
in those days
191
00:09:28,216 --> 00:09:32,133
to live a life close
to a thousand years,
192
00:09:32,216 --> 00:09:35,633
but we're talking
about those who interacted
193
00:09:35,716 --> 00:09:38,924
with these beings
from the stars.
194
00:09:39,049 --> 00:09:41,841
Are these things connected?
195
00:09:41,966 --> 00:09:45,008
We're talking about an
age in which otherworldly beings
196
00:09:45,174 --> 00:09:47,437
assist humankind in becoming
197
00:09:47,522 --> 00:09:50,230
very much like the gods.
198
00:09:51,549 --> 00:09:55,008
But if our ancestors
from deep antiquity
199
00:09:55,174 --> 00:09:59,091
were so close to becoming like
their extraterrestrial creators,
200
00:09:59,216 --> 00:10:01,883
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,
201
00:10:02,049 --> 00:10:05,424
what kept them
from realizing this destiny?
202
00:10:05,549 --> 00:10:09,133
And are humans today
still on the same path?
203
00:10:09,258 --> 00:10:11,549
Perhaps further clues
can be found
204
00:10:11,674 --> 00:10:14,633
by examining a story
shared by different cultures
205
00:10:14,758 --> 00:10:16,508
all over the world,
206
00:10:16,846 --> 00:10:19,564
the story of the Great Flood.
207
00:10:24,202 --> 00:10:26,452
The Bible's Book of Genesis.
208
00:10:26,716 --> 00:10:29,216
In chapter six, verse nine
209
00:10:29,341 --> 00:10:32,008
begins the story of Noah
and the flood,
210
00:10:32,133 --> 00:10:35,466
in which God
sends a great deluge
211
00:10:35,591 --> 00:10:39,341
to cleanse the Earth,
which has become overrun by sin.
212
00:10:40,383 --> 00:10:43,383
It is one of the most
well-known tales from the Bible,
213
00:10:43,508 --> 00:10:46,883
but, curiously,
nearly identical stories
214
00:10:46,968 --> 00:10:50,218
exist in dozens of
other ancient traditions.
215
00:10:51,216 --> 00:10:54,008
We've heard about
the flood of Noah,
216
00:10:54,133 --> 00:10:57,174
which wiped out that
whole generation and brought
217
00:10:57,258 --> 00:11:00,424
about a new generation
of descendants of Noah.
218
00:11:00,549 --> 00:11:01,883
The fact is,
219
00:11:02,008 --> 00:11:05,008
there's all these stories
of the Great Flood
220
00:11:05,091 --> 00:11:07,383
in all countries
across the world.
221
00:11:08,383 --> 00:11:11,174
Plato talked about Atlantis.
222
00:11:11,258 --> 00:11:14,008
He talked about
a whole civilization
223
00:11:14,091 --> 00:11:16,674
destroyed by floods.
224
00:11:16,758 --> 00:11:17,841
In the Bible,
225
00:11:17,966 --> 00:11:20,674
Turkey, in Egypt,
226
00:11:20,799 --> 00:11:22,591
among the Native Americans,
227
00:11:22,716 --> 00:11:24,341
there's a story
228
00:11:24,466 --> 00:11:27,758
that the Great Flood wrapped
around the entire planet.
229
00:11:27,883 --> 00:11:30,091
All life was destroyed.
230
00:11:30,216 --> 00:11:32,091
The connection between
the biblical story
231
00:11:32,216 --> 00:11:35,216
of the Great Flood
and the destruction
232
00:11:35,341 --> 00:11:39,258
of other societies
around the world
233
00:11:39,383 --> 00:11:42,049
through floods
tell us one thing.
234
00:11:42,216 --> 00:11:43,883
There actually was
a Great Flood
235
00:11:44,008 --> 00:11:46,341
and that, at one point
236
00:11:46,466 --> 00:11:48,174
in the history of this planet,
237
00:11:48,299 --> 00:11:50,508
all life was wiped out
238
00:11:50,633 --> 00:11:54,591
as the Earth
was covered in water.
239
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:59,174
In all
mythologies, including the Bible,
240
00:11:59,341 --> 00:12:01,341
some gods are coming down
241
00:12:01,424 --> 00:12:03,841
and teach the human
a great flood
242
00:12:03,966 --> 00:12:05,216
will come and destroy you.
243
00:12:05,383 --> 00:12:09,049
And these god,
they knew it long before,
244
00:12:09,174 --> 00:12:11,341
and they knew it because
245
00:12:11,466 --> 00:12:14,424
they themselves
made the Great Flood.
246
00:12:15,591 --> 00:12:19,758
The Great Flood was created
by extraterrestrials on purpose.
247
00:12:20,883 --> 00:12:23,133
Could the
story of the Great Flood
248
00:12:23,216 --> 00:12:25,466
be a historical record
of a real event
249
00:12:25,549 --> 00:12:29,008
that was brought on
by extraterrestrials?
250
00:12:29,133 --> 00:12:32,466
But if the ancient
astronaut theory is correct,
251
00:12:32,549 --> 00:12:36,508
and aliens genetically
engineered humankind,
252
00:12:36,633 --> 00:12:40,091
why would they then destroy
their greatest creation?
253
00:12:41,314 --> 00:12:44,606
We have the records,
as described in the Book of Enoch
254
00:12:44,691 --> 00:12:46,381
and other literature,
255
00:12:46,466 --> 00:12:49,508
that the Watchers led
to the moral corruption
256
00:12:49,593 --> 00:12:51,260
of all humanity,
257
00:12:51,466 --> 00:12:54,992
which led to the destruction
of the face of the Earth.
258
00:12:55,554 --> 00:12:58,164
They were introducing
hidden technologies
259
00:12:58,249 --> 00:13:01,082
centuries before they were meant
to be introduced.
260
00:13:01,169 --> 00:13:03,877
They corrupted
the human gene pool.
261
00:13:04,299 --> 00:13:06,859
In Genesis six,
262
00:13:06,944 --> 00:13:09,274
we hear about the sons of God.
263
00:13:09,359 --> 00:13:11,484
They see the daughters of men,
264
00:13:11,633 --> 00:13:14,954
and they lust after them,
and they come down,
265
00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:17,841
and they take them as wives.
266
00:13:17,966 --> 00:13:21,883
And then they create a hybrid
race called the Nephilim.
267
00:13:22,049 --> 00:13:25,508
You weren't supposed to
fraternize with the natives,
268
00:13:25,591 --> 00:13:29,008
but this is what we
are told in the Bible.
269
00:13:29,133 --> 00:13:31,216
Now, what are we to make
of these texts?
270
00:13:31,383 --> 00:13:34,049
Are we to say,
"Well, maybe these angels,
271
00:13:34,174 --> 00:13:35,716
"these sons of God,
did they have sex
272
00:13:35,841 --> 00:13:37,341
the old-fashioned way?"
273
00:13:37,466 --> 00:13:39,508
We don't know,
but we need to start
274
00:13:39,633 --> 00:13:43,924
looking at these stories
from a 21st century perspective.
275
00:13:44,966 --> 00:13:48,924
With the technology that
we have with genetic engineering
276
00:13:49,049 --> 00:13:50,633
and splicing genes
and what have you,
277
00:13:50,758 --> 00:13:53,508
maybe we can revisit
this story and look
278
00:13:53,591 --> 00:13:56,174
at it from maybe
an extraterrestrial,
279
00:13:56,341 --> 00:13:58,258
uh, hypothesis or point of view.
280
00:13:58,383 --> 00:14:01,549
They're creating a hybrid race.
281
00:14:01,674 --> 00:14:04,591
The DNA of the
off-world intelligence
282
00:14:04,716 --> 00:14:06,049
and the human DNA
283
00:14:06,216 --> 00:14:08,508
creates this hybrid race,
and most
284
00:14:08,674 --> 00:14:12,091
of these beings,
for better or for worse,
285
00:14:12,216 --> 00:14:15,341
had what we could call
superhuman powers.
286
00:14:16,549 --> 00:14:18,674
As far as
ancient astronaut theorists
287
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,341
are concerned,
a genetic upgrade occurred.
288
00:14:22,424 --> 00:14:26,341
One that closed the gap
between mortals and immortals
289
00:14:26,424 --> 00:14:28,674
far more quickly
than was intended.
290
00:14:28,758 --> 00:14:32,049
And it is a story that,
once again,
291
00:14:32,174 --> 00:14:34,841
was told across many cultures.
292
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:38,466
When the sons of God
procreated with
293
00:14:38,549 --> 00:14:40,174
the daughters of men,
it is said that
294
00:14:40,341 --> 00:14:43,174
mighty ones were born.
295
00:14:43,299 --> 00:14:46,174
They had a longer
life span as well,
296
00:14:46,258 --> 00:14:48,133
dating maybe centuries,
297
00:14:48,258 --> 00:14:50,585
up to a thousand years...
Not immortal
298
00:14:50,670 --> 00:14:54,254
but a life span much,
much longer than ours.
299
00:14:55,841 --> 00:14:58,549
When you look
back at ancient Egyptian history,
300
00:14:58,674 --> 00:15:01,883
the pharaohs themselves
were said to be demigods.
301
00:15:03,466 --> 00:15:06,341
Part-god, part-human.
302
00:15:06,424 --> 00:15:09,508
This was
present in the Greek imagination.
303
00:15:09,633 --> 00:15:12,466
The Olympians were known
to get involved in the world
304
00:15:12,591 --> 00:15:14,716
of the mortals, and they
would intervene sometimes.
305
00:15:14,883 --> 00:15:17,424
Sometimes they would
get attracted to a mortal
306
00:15:17,549 --> 00:15:20,008
and children would come.
Hercules, Perseus.
307
00:15:20,133 --> 00:15:23,883
These are the offspring,
demigods, half-god, half-human.
308
00:15:24,049 --> 00:15:27,008
But in
many of the ancient stories,
309
00:15:27,174 --> 00:15:30,716
the gods who were responsible
for this upgrade of humanity
310
00:15:30,841 --> 00:15:34,383
were acting against the wishes
of their superiors.
311
00:15:34,508 --> 00:15:38,299
They were not just helping
to jump start human civilization
312
00:15:38,424 --> 00:15:41,841
but creating
a new race of immortals.
313
00:15:41,924 --> 00:15:45,633
Enoch, who's the scribe of God,
314
00:15:45,758 --> 00:15:49,674
says that these angels
went against the will of God.
315
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:53,133
Now, you can imagine
those angels were
316
00:15:53,216 --> 00:15:55,508
extraterrestrial in origin.
317
00:15:55,674 --> 00:15:58,174
If there was a prime directive,
they violated it.
318
00:15:58,299 --> 00:16:00,591
They gave us gifts,
319
00:16:00,716 --> 00:16:03,924
and we weren't ready
for those gifts.
320
00:16:04,049 --> 00:16:06,258
It's like giving
a gun to a baby.
321
00:16:06,383 --> 00:16:07,633
Nothing good will happen.
322
00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:10,008
Maybe the extraterrestrials
323
00:16:10,091 --> 00:16:11,508
were protecting humanity,
324
00:16:11,633 --> 00:16:14,091
and humanity is considered
a sacred project,
325
00:16:14,216 --> 00:16:17,841
and they know that, while they
begun it thousands of years ago,
326
00:16:17,924 --> 00:16:20,924
it would take thousands
or perhaps tens of thousands
327
00:16:21,049 --> 00:16:24,508
of years for humanity to reach
its ultimate fulfillment,
328
00:16:24,633 --> 00:16:26,549
but they were
committed ultimately
329
00:16:26,674 --> 00:16:29,383
to the sacredness or
the fulfillment of the project.
330
00:16:29,508 --> 00:16:33,008
And this is why
they restarted civilization.
331
00:16:33,966 --> 00:16:36,841
As far as
ancient astronaut theorists
332
00:16:36,966 --> 00:16:40,424
are concerned,
the story of Noah and his family
333
00:16:40,549 --> 00:16:42,133
being saved from the flood
334
00:16:42,216 --> 00:16:44,674
shows that Earth's
extraterrestrial
335
00:16:44,758 --> 00:16:48,841
visitors did not abandon
their plan for humankind.
336
00:16:48,966 --> 00:16:52,883
As further evidence,
they cite a 2,000-year-old text
337
00:16:53,008 --> 00:16:56,508
called the Zohar,
that continues the Biblical
338
00:16:56,591 --> 00:16:59,258
story of the Watchers
after the cataclysm
339
00:16:59,383 --> 00:17:01,841
that ended the previous age
of humans.
340
00:17:01,966 --> 00:17:03,926
The Zohar says
that there's a great secret
341
00:17:04,049 --> 00:17:07,591
about the angels who walked
with us on Earth.
342
00:17:08,758 --> 00:17:10,508
The Watchers.
343
00:17:10,633 --> 00:17:13,966
They ascended to the stars,
344
00:17:14,091 --> 00:17:15,508
and they are the ones who
345
00:17:15,633 --> 00:17:18,674
come back and shepherd us,
346
00:17:18,841 --> 00:17:20,424
watch over us.
347
00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:22,799
They watch over humanity
348
00:17:22,883 --> 00:17:26,633
and direct the course
of our civilization.
349
00:17:27,154 --> 00:17:29,251
I think
that the extraterrestrials
350
00:17:29,336 --> 00:17:31,371
never left. Why?
351
00:17:31,456 --> 00:17:34,415
Because, according to the
ancient astronaut theory,
352
00:17:34,500 --> 00:17:36,917
we are their offspring.
353
00:17:37,002 --> 00:17:40,714
They made us Homo sapiens
sapiens, what we are today.
354
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:42,924
If you have such a creation,
355
00:17:43,049 --> 00:17:46,126
I don't think you
would just abandon that.
356
00:17:46,314 --> 00:17:49,720
We are a long-term project.
357
00:17:50,869 --> 00:17:54,501
If the first humans
shared the planet with alien visitors,
358
00:17:54,586 --> 00:17:57,128
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,
359
00:17:57,213 --> 00:17:58,814
is it possible that
360
00:17:58,899 --> 00:18:02,839
these otherworldly beings have
remained on Earth for thousands
361
00:18:02,924 --> 00:18:06,908
of years, continuing to direct
the course of humanity?
362
00:18:07,312 --> 00:18:10,330
And if humans were
designed to ultimately
363
00:18:10,422 --> 00:18:14,758
achieve immortality,
just how will that happen?
364
00:18:15,508 --> 00:18:18,508
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
365
00:18:18,633 --> 00:18:20,799
a strange substance discovered
366
00:18:20,883 --> 00:18:23,716
on Easter Island.
367
00:18:27,631 --> 00:18:29,631
Easter Island
368
00:18:29,716 --> 00:18:33,049
Lying over 2,000 miles
off the coast of Chile,
369
00:18:33,174 --> 00:18:36,799
this remote landmass is famous
for the nearly 1,000
370
00:18:36,924 --> 00:18:39,633
monolithic stone statues
called moai
371
00:18:39,758 --> 00:18:42,174
found along its coastline.
372
00:18:42,258 --> 00:18:44,174
For ancient astronaut theorists,
373
00:18:44,299 --> 00:18:45,841
the enormous statues,
374
00:18:45,966 --> 00:18:48,216
along with the
local legends that say
375
00:18:48,341 --> 00:18:49,883
they represent giant beings
376
00:18:50,008 --> 00:18:52,841
who came down from the sky,
present a compelling case
377
00:18:52,966 --> 00:18:54,716
for Easter Island being a place
378
00:18:54,883 --> 00:18:58,508
of extraterrestrial visitation.
379
00:18:58,674 --> 00:19:01,466
And what has made
this notion even more
380
00:19:01,549 --> 00:19:04,841
intriguing is the discovery
that the island's soil
381
00:19:04,966 --> 00:19:08,049
contains a substance
called Rapamycin
382
00:19:08,216 --> 00:19:11,883
that might be able to extend
the human life span.
383
00:19:13,383 --> 00:19:15,091
In 1968, a remarkable
384
00:19:15,216 --> 00:19:18,383
substance was found,
a kind of bacterial substance
385
00:19:18,508 --> 00:19:20,633
called Rapamycin,
and it was given that name
386
00:19:20,716 --> 00:19:22,716
because it was found
on Rapa Nui, or Easter Island,
387
00:19:22,883 --> 00:19:25,049
which in itself
is very interesting.
388
00:19:26,174 --> 00:19:28,799
And what they found was
it could actually help
389
00:19:28,924 --> 00:19:31,466
when people had
organ transplants
390
00:19:31,549 --> 00:19:33,591
to stop them rejecting them,
391
00:19:33,716 --> 00:19:36,716
but it could also help
in cancer therapies as well.
392
00:19:36,841 --> 00:19:39,299
Then they found that it had very
strong anti-aging properties.
393
00:19:39,424 --> 00:19:44,383
It would almost reverse aging
in certain medical situations.
394
00:19:44,508 --> 00:19:47,549
Rapamycin has already been shown
395
00:19:47,716 --> 00:19:50,924
to extend life span
and improve health in mice,
396
00:19:51,049 --> 00:19:53,091
and in 2018,
397
00:19:53,216 --> 00:19:55,049
researchers at Texas A&M
398
00:19:55,174 --> 00:19:58,008
began testing
the substance on dogs.
399
00:19:58,174 --> 00:20:00,924
While there is still much
to learn about the effects
400
00:20:01,049 --> 00:20:02,258
of Rapamycin,
401
00:20:02,383 --> 00:20:04,049
scientists are hopeful that it
402
00:20:04,174 --> 00:20:06,341
could prove to actually
reverse aging
403
00:20:06,466 --> 00:20:08,317
on a cellular level.
404
00:20:08,424 --> 00:20:10,549
Is it a coincidence
that Rapamycin
405
00:20:10,674 --> 00:20:12,633
was found on Easter Island?
406
00:20:12,716 --> 00:20:15,341
Where there's possible
alien visitations?
407
00:20:15,424 --> 00:20:18,091
We don't know. In fact,
one question to ask is, what
408
00:20:18,216 --> 00:20:19,882
do the aliens do to live
409
00:20:20,062 --> 00:20:23,187
very long lives themselves?
Do they take certain substances?
410
00:20:23,508 --> 00:20:27,633
Could it be that
the anti-aging substance found
411
00:20:27,758 --> 00:20:31,591
on Easter Island was
left behind by alien visitors
412
00:20:31,716 --> 00:20:35,674
who used it as a way
to extend their life spans?
413
00:20:35,799 --> 00:20:38,133
In numerous ancient traditions,
414
00:20:38,216 --> 00:20:41,133
there are stories of the gods
possessing elixirs
415
00:20:41,258 --> 00:20:42,716
of immortality
416
00:20:42,841 --> 00:20:46,299
and sometimes sharing them
with humans.
417
00:20:47,383 --> 00:20:50,258
There are many ancient cultures
418
00:20:50,383 --> 00:20:53,924
that had their own
food and drink
419
00:20:54,049 --> 00:20:56,591
that could bring immortality.
420
00:20:56,716 --> 00:20:59,008
For instance, in China,
421
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:02,008
there was the peaches
of immortality
422
00:21:02,133 --> 00:21:06,174
that were given out
by the goddess known as
423
00:21:06,258 --> 00:21:08,591
the Old Mother of the West.
424
00:21:08,716 --> 00:21:12,508
These were given
to the immortals of China
425
00:21:12,591 --> 00:21:15,591
to quite literally
allow them to live
426
00:21:15,716 --> 00:21:18,174
for eternity.
427
00:21:18,299 --> 00:21:21,841
For the Greeks,
it's this nectar ambrosia,
428
00:21:21,966 --> 00:21:24,924
literally the food of the gods,
that, if you consume that,
429
00:21:25,049 --> 00:21:27,883
then you yourself
will be divine.
430
00:21:28,008 --> 00:21:29,508
In the Vedas,
you have this drink...
431
00:21:29,633 --> 00:21:31,841
Uh, soma...
And the same idea,
432
00:21:32,008 --> 00:21:33,716
that this is what feeds the gods
433
00:21:33,841 --> 00:21:36,299
and keeps them
alive and immortal.
434
00:21:36,424 --> 00:21:38,799
Then, if we humans
eat that food,
435
00:21:38,883 --> 00:21:41,883
these substances will
keep us alive forever.
436
00:21:43,049 --> 00:21:47,133
If these gods
were, in fact, alien visitors,
437
00:21:47,258 --> 00:21:50,549
could it be that they
were able to achieve immortality
438
00:21:50,716 --> 00:21:54,633
simply by ingesting
some type of plant or drug?
439
00:21:54,758 --> 00:21:59,133
Some ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that substances,
440
00:21:59,258 --> 00:22:02,341
like ambrosia, were merely
symbolic devices
441
00:22:02,424 --> 00:22:05,758
representing the gods' ability
to extend their lives.
442
00:22:05,883 --> 00:22:09,966
And they believe this
was accomplished using the same
443
00:22:10,049 --> 00:22:13,591
technology that scientists
are developing today,
444
00:22:13,716 --> 00:22:15,341
gene splicing.
445
00:22:24,109 --> 00:22:27,390
A team of scientists working
with a gene-manipulating
446
00:22:27,469 --> 00:22:29,552
technology known as CRISPR
447
00:22:29,676 --> 00:22:32,868
at the Broad Institute
of Harvard and MIT
448
00:22:32,953 --> 00:22:34,661
makes a groundbreaking
discovery.
449
00:22:34,745 --> 00:22:37,995
By editing specific genes
in mice,
450
00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,120
the researchers were able
451
00:22:40,245 --> 00:22:43,536
to double the life spans
of their test subjects.
452
00:22:43,661 --> 00:22:45,661
CRISPR, you can think of it like
453
00:22:45,786 --> 00:22:49,370
we can cut and snip out
pieces of our DNA.
454
00:22:49,453 --> 00:22:52,370
And if we can discover,
for example,
455
00:22:52,536 --> 00:22:54,745
part of our genetic code
456
00:22:54,911 --> 00:22:56,703
that has to do with aging,
457
00:22:56,828 --> 00:22:58,786
we can maybe cut it out,
458
00:22:58,911 --> 00:23:02,036
or we can add things
into the genetic code
459
00:23:02,161 --> 00:23:04,120
that might extend life
460
00:23:04,245 --> 00:23:06,703
to potentially create
461
00:23:06,828 --> 00:23:09,870
a human that could live forever.
462
00:23:11,078 --> 00:23:14,370
If we could rewrite
the DNA code,
463
00:23:14,495 --> 00:23:17,995
in principle
we can live forever.
464
00:23:19,286 --> 00:23:23,328
Already we've been able to
slice and dice that for a mouse,
465
00:23:23,411 --> 00:23:26,203
and eventually
we'll do it for a human.
466
00:23:27,411 --> 00:23:31,536
While it remains
to be seen if CRISPR technology
467
00:23:31,703 --> 00:23:34,661
will succeed in increasing
the human life span...
468
00:23:36,703 --> 00:23:40,578
...some scientists believe
the key to immortality
469
00:23:40,745 --> 00:23:43,870
may be found by studying
a strange sea creature
470
00:23:43,995 --> 00:23:47,120
that has the ability
to live forever.
471
00:23:48,127 --> 00:23:49,960
So, one thing
in nature that seems
472
00:23:50,078 --> 00:23:52,328
to be immortal
is the immortal jellyfish,
473
00:23:52,411 --> 00:23:55,578
where it can actually revert
to an earlier state
474
00:23:55,703 --> 00:23:57,745
when damaged or at risk
475
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,174
and then regrow back
into the adult state.
476
00:24:02,245 --> 00:24:05,536
The cells of all
animals begin as stem cells,
477
00:24:05,661 --> 00:24:09,078
which then develop
into organs, muscles, bones,
478
00:24:09,203 --> 00:24:11,578
and whatever else
the organism needs.
479
00:24:11,703 --> 00:24:15,161
The jellyfish species
Turritopsis dohrnii,
480
00:24:15,286 --> 00:24:17,870
commonly known as
the immortal jellyfish,
481
00:24:17,995 --> 00:24:19,870
can take mature adult cells
482
00:24:19,953 --> 00:24:22,786
and turn them back
into stem cells,
483
00:24:22,911 --> 00:24:25,620
allowing the jellyfish
to, in effect,
484
00:24:25,745 --> 00:24:28,359
start its development all over.
485
00:24:28,523 --> 00:24:31,370
So you're really
reversing the biological
486
00:24:31,453 --> 00:24:34,370
time line and then
resetting it going forward,
487
00:24:34,495 --> 00:24:36,370
so that you're actually
not only living longer
488
00:24:36,536 --> 00:24:37,828
but you're also younger.
489
00:24:37,911 --> 00:24:40,911
And thinking about
how these things
490
00:24:41,036 --> 00:24:43,328
get reversed, to me,
is an intriguing way
491
00:24:43,411 --> 00:24:46,953
to approach the biology
and the immortality.
492
00:24:47,870 --> 00:24:49,536
By understanding species
493
00:24:49,661 --> 00:24:51,536
like the immortal jellyfish
494
00:24:51,661 --> 00:24:54,203
and through the technology
of gene editing,
495
00:24:54,286 --> 00:24:57,328
might we greatly extend
the human life span?
496
00:24:58,328 --> 00:25:01,536
And could
extraterrestrials have used
497
00:25:01,661 --> 00:25:04,078
similar means
to achieve immortality,
498
00:25:04,187 --> 00:25:07,854
allowing them to travel
great distances through space?
499
00:25:08,036 --> 00:25:10,245
It often seems to me
500
00:25:10,330 --> 00:25:12,080
that we live in a time
501
00:25:12,245 --> 00:25:13,703
of rediscovery,
502
00:25:13,786 --> 00:25:17,161
meaning that the fact that we
503
00:25:17,286 --> 00:25:20,286
come up with ways
with which to improve
504
00:25:20,411 --> 00:25:22,411
and prolong our lives,
505
00:25:22,536 --> 00:25:27,328
extraterrestrials have
figured that out long ago.
506
00:25:28,703 --> 00:25:32,370
But while scientists
are optimistic that the human
507
00:25:32,453 --> 00:25:36,036
life span can be lengthened
through genetic engineering,
508
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:39,536
many aerospace experts
believe that biological
509
00:25:39,661 --> 00:25:41,745
bodies are simply not equipped
510
00:25:41,870 --> 00:25:46,019
to withstand the rigors
of extended space travel.
511
00:25:46,104 --> 00:25:48,035
They suggest that,
512
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:49,868
if humans
are to one day colonize
513
00:25:49,953 --> 00:25:53,863
other planets,
it will require merging man
514
00:25:53,948 --> 00:25:56,114
and machine.
515
00:26:06,161 --> 00:26:09,870
In a press conference
organized by a UFO investigative group
516
00:26:09,995 --> 00:26:12,661
called the Disclosure Project,
517
00:26:12,745 --> 00:26:15,036
former Army Sergeant
Clifford Stone
518
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:16,953
makes a shocking announcement.
519
00:26:17,078 --> 00:26:21,120
He claims to be part of
a top secret military unit
520
00:26:21,245 --> 00:26:23,745
once tasked with recovering
extraterrestrial craft
521
00:26:23,911 --> 00:26:27,223
and their pilots
for the U.S. government.
522
00:26:28,169 --> 00:26:31,086
I was involved in
situations where we actually
523
00:26:31,245 --> 00:26:34,745
did recoveries of crashed,
of crashed saucers,
524
00:26:34,911 --> 00:26:37,286
for lack of a better term,
debris thereof.
525
00:26:37,411 --> 00:26:39,745
There were bodies
that were involved with
526
00:26:39,870 --> 00:26:43,161
some of these crashes.
Also, some were alive.
527
00:26:43,286 --> 00:26:45,245
While we were doing
all this, we were telling
528
00:26:45,370 --> 00:26:47,203
the American public
there was nothing to it.
529
00:26:47,328 --> 00:26:49,288
We were telling the world
there was nothing to it.
530
00:26:50,911 --> 00:26:53,245
Sergeant
Stone would later describe
531
00:26:53,411 --> 00:26:56,328
a specific mission in which
he learned that the pilot of
532
00:26:56,453 --> 00:27:00,620
an extraterrestrial craft was
"a biological robot."
533
00:27:01,745 --> 00:27:03,744
So, what he found
was, is that these so-called
534
00:27:03,828 --> 00:27:06,536
Grey aliens with
the skinny bodies and giant
535
00:27:06,661 --> 00:27:08,661
heads were like
biological robots.
536
00:27:08,786 --> 00:27:10,078
They-they had few organs.
537
00:27:10,203 --> 00:27:11,870
They had all this machinery
538
00:27:11,995 --> 00:27:14,703
and computing inside them,
539
00:27:14,828 --> 00:27:16,577
and he really questioned
what this was all about.
540
00:27:16,661 --> 00:27:19,953
And the conclusion was that
they must have been created
541
00:27:20,078 --> 00:27:23,703
to travel huge distances
from their planet to this planet
542
00:27:23,828 --> 00:27:27,036
because, if they were
just a biological entity,
543
00:27:27,161 --> 00:27:29,995
they simply
would not have survived.
544
00:27:30,078 --> 00:27:32,911
Could it be
that Earth is being visited
545
00:27:33,078 --> 00:27:36,328
by alien entities
that are part machine?
546
00:27:36,411 --> 00:27:40,328
Is this why the ancient people
referred to the gods as
547
00:27:40,453 --> 00:27:43,161
immortals, because
they were not entirely
548
00:27:43,245 --> 00:27:47,161
biological beings
and appeared to never age?
549
00:27:47,245 --> 00:27:51,036
As further support
for this notion,
550
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:53,036
ancient astronaut theorists
551
00:27:53,161 --> 00:27:56,995
point to a strange figure that
appears in 18th century France,
552
00:27:57,078 --> 00:28:01,411
the mysterious
Count de Saint-Germain.
553
00:28:01,536 --> 00:28:03,245
The Count de Saint-Germain is
554
00:28:03,370 --> 00:28:05,703
probably one of
the most enigmatic
555
00:28:05,828 --> 00:28:08,036
gentlemen of human history.
556
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:11,245
He was an adventurer,
he was a scientist,
557
00:28:11,370 --> 00:28:13,536
he was a composer.
558
00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:15,620
He knew several languages,
559
00:28:15,745 --> 00:28:18,870
yet, strangely, he always
560
00:28:19,036 --> 00:28:20,745
was the same age
561
00:28:20,911 --> 00:28:22,870
whenever anybody saw him.
562
00:28:23,036 --> 00:28:25,495
One of
the most interesting stories
563
00:28:25,578 --> 00:28:29,203
about the count was that when
he was at a social gathering
564
00:28:29,286 --> 00:28:32,078
he met an old woman,
and the old woman said,
565
00:28:32,203 --> 00:28:35,953
"I met you 60 years ago
when I was a young woman,
566
00:28:36,078 --> 00:28:38,911
and you looked in your 40s then,
same as you do now."
567
00:28:39,078 --> 00:28:40,370
He hadn't aged.
568
00:28:41,578 --> 00:28:44,370
Another thing that people
talk about was that he had
569
00:28:44,453 --> 00:28:48,078
so much knowledge of history
and of science.
570
00:28:48,203 --> 00:28:50,536
He knew a lot
of the leaders and kings.
571
00:28:50,620 --> 00:28:53,286
Throughout
his reportedly very long life,
572
00:28:53,411 --> 00:28:56,661
the Count de Saint-Germain
befriended many noblemen
573
00:28:56,745 --> 00:29:00,828
and rulers, who he was believed
to have great influence over.
574
00:29:00,953 --> 00:29:03,870
In the mid-1700s
575
00:29:03,953 --> 00:29:06,453
he was a diplomat
for King Louis XV,
576
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:09,786
and in the 1760s
577
00:29:09,911 --> 00:29:11,370
he traveled to Russia
578
00:29:11,453 --> 00:29:14,703
and he was complicit
in the overthrow
579
00:29:14,786 --> 00:29:18,953
that put Catherine the Great
in place as the czar of Russia.
580
00:29:19,078 --> 00:29:20,577
It was rumored
that he later advised
581
00:29:20,661 --> 00:29:23,078
the Russian imperial commander
in the war against
582
00:29:23,245 --> 00:29:25,286
the Turks, which the Russians
ultimately won.
583
00:29:26,786 --> 00:29:28,411
He's supposed to have died
584
00:29:28,578 --> 00:29:31,286
in 1784, but there were
585
00:29:31,411 --> 00:29:34,036
reported sightings of him
just the following year
586
00:29:34,203 --> 00:29:37,911
entering into a Masonic lodge
in France,
587
00:29:38,078 --> 00:29:41,203
where his name was actually
noted there and then.
588
00:29:42,036 --> 00:29:45,828
He was reportedly
at the beheading
589
00:29:45,911 --> 00:29:49,203
of Marie Antoinette
several years later.
590
00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:51,703
And there are many other reports
591
00:29:51,828 --> 00:29:53,453
of his presence
592
00:29:53,578 --> 00:29:56,995
all the way around the world
in the 19th century.
593
00:29:57,078 --> 00:30:01,495
In addition to appearing
in historical records long after he
594
00:30:01,578 --> 00:30:05,036
was alleged to have died,
it was said by many who knew
595
00:30:05,161 --> 00:30:08,161
the Count de Saint-Germain
that he had odd habits
596
00:30:08,245 --> 00:30:11,578
and possessed
extraordinary abilities.
597
00:30:11,754 --> 00:30:14,661
One of the strange things about
him were his dietary habits.
598
00:30:15,911 --> 00:30:17,870
He'd sit with other people
as they ate,
599
00:30:17,995 --> 00:30:20,245
but he wouldn't eat with them.
600
00:30:21,174 --> 00:30:24,495
One of Count Saint-Germain's
contacts in the 18th century was
601
00:30:24,578 --> 00:30:28,370
Casanova, who said he had
an ability to melt diamonds,
602
00:30:28,495 --> 00:30:31,036
that he had amazing
abilities and powers.
603
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,120
He thought that
he was an incredible
604
00:30:33,245 --> 00:30:34,870
superhuman type of person.
605
00:30:34,953 --> 00:30:37,536
So, if Saint-Germain
606
00:30:37,661 --> 00:30:39,328
had lived centuries,
607
00:30:39,411 --> 00:30:43,203
and he was an alien
from the past,
608
00:30:43,286 --> 00:30:45,161
certainly when you
look at aliens,
609
00:30:45,245 --> 00:30:48,203
who are thousands of years
in advance of us,
610
00:30:48,328 --> 00:30:51,911
they could have had alterations
genetically or mechanically
611
00:30:52,036 --> 00:30:53,953
that would allow them
to live a very long time.
612
00:30:54,078 --> 00:30:58,036
Is it possible
that the Count de Saint-Germain
613
00:30:58,161 --> 00:31:01,703
was an extraterrestrial entity
that was part robotic,
614
00:31:01,828 --> 00:31:04,995
much like the Grey alien
that Sergeant Clifford Stone
615
00:31:05,078 --> 00:31:06,786
claims to have examined?
616
00:31:07,526 --> 00:31:11,435
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that such a scenario
617
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,911
is not so far-fetched
considering that today
618
00:31:15,036 --> 00:31:17,544
we are already creating
robots that are
619
00:31:17,629 --> 00:31:20,203
incredibly human like
in their appearance.
620
00:31:20,286 --> 00:31:22,370
One of the most cutting-edge
621
00:31:22,453 --> 00:31:25,911
is a Hanson Robotics
creation named Sophia.
622
00:31:26,036 --> 00:31:28,328
What is absolutely mind-blowing
623
00:31:28,453 --> 00:31:30,953
about Sophia and other
robotic entities is,
624
00:31:31,078 --> 00:31:33,120
it's not hard
to imagine a population
625
00:31:33,245 --> 00:31:36,411
of extraterrestrials creating
humanoid robots
626
00:31:36,578 --> 00:31:38,370
like the ones that
we're building today.
627
00:31:38,495 --> 00:31:41,536
Probably even more advanced.
628
00:31:41,703 --> 00:31:45,995
And it makes a lot of sense
for us to send robots into space
629
00:31:46,078 --> 00:31:47,536
instead of
flesh-and-blood bodies.
630
00:31:47,620 --> 00:31:49,453
If it makes sense for us,
it probably
631
00:31:49,578 --> 00:31:52,161
makes sense for
extraterrestrials as well.
632
00:31:53,911 --> 00:31:56,786
If the ancient
astronaut theory is correct
633
00:31:56,911 --> 00:31:59,995
and humankind was created
to follow in the footsteps
634
00:32:00,078 --> 00:32:02,370
of its extraterrestrial
creators,
635
00:32:02,495 --> 00:32:06,078
will that mean merging
man and machine?
636
00:32:06,245 --> 00:32:08,870
According to some scientists,
637
00:32:08,995 --> 00:32:12,786
that process
is already underway.
638
00:32:22,245 --> 00:32:24,911
Located just
four miles west of the Pentagon
639
00:32:25,036 --> 00:32:26,411
is the headquarters
640
00:32:26,578 --> 00:32:29,703
for the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency,
641
00:32:29,828 --> 00:32:31,370
better known as DARPA.
642
00:32:31,453 --> 00:32:34,870
Since 2002, DARPA has been
643
00:32:34,995 --> 00:32:37,536
investing hundreds
of millions of dollars in its
644
00:32:37,620 --> 00:32:41,120
brain-machine interface program
for the U.S. military.
645
00:32:41,245 --> 00:32:44,245
The technologies
they're developing allow
646
00:32:44,370 --> 00:32:46,495
humans to control
mechanical devices
647
00:32:46,620 --> 00:32:48,536
with their minds.
648
00:32:48,661 --> 00:32:50,578
There are these brain-computer
649
00:32:50,745 --> 00:32:53,703
interfaces where we can implant
electrodes in the brain.
650
00:32:53,828 --> 00:32:56,703
And, for example, you can
control a prosthetic limb
651
00:32:56,828 --> 00:32:58,203
by just using your thoughts
652
00:32:58,286 --> 00:33:00,286
with these
brain-computer interfaces.
653
00:33:00,411 --> 00:33:02,745
The chip records activation
in your brain.
654
00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:05,745
It sends that information
to a computer, which then
655
00:33:05,870 --> 00:33:09,370
sends that to, let's say,
a prosthetic limb to control it.
656
00:33:09,453 --> 00:33:11,828
This is certainly
a good way to extend lives
657
00:33:11,953 --> 00:33:14,578
when the brain is not
the part that's failing, but
658
00:33:14,703 --> 00:33:16,303
it's the rest of the body
that's failing.
659
00:33:16,411 --> 00:33:19,495
'Cause you can actually
now imagine human,
660
00:33:19,578 --> 00:33:21,786
sort of metal robotic cyborg
661
00:33:21,911 --> 00:33:24,161
combinations where your brain is
662
00:33:24,286 --> 00:33:26,995
now not just controlling
maybe your biological body
663
00:33:27,078 --> 00:33:29,536
but something artificial
and man-made.
664
00:33:29,661 --> 00:33:31,703
You give this technology another
665
00:33:31,786 --> 00:33:34,953
50 years, and we will
appear as god beings
666
00:33:35,078 --> 00:33:37,911
to a person living at the
beginning of the 20th century.
667
00:33:38,911 --> 00:33:42,120
So, let's now look back
at the extraterrestrial
668
00:33:42,245 --> 00:33:44,578
gods of the ancient world.
669
00:33:44,703 --> 00:33:47,536
They must have had at least
the level of technological
670
00:33:47,661 --> 00:33:50,911
sophistication that we are
enjoying and experiencing today,
671
00:33:51,036 --> 00:33:53,161
probably even more advanced.
672
00:33:53,286 --> 00:33:55,578
I think it's fascinating
where we are
673
00:33:55,703 --> 00:33:57,911
in this moment in time because
674
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:00,911
what if, one day, we can create
675
00:34:01,078 --> 00:34:02,745
artificial human beings?
676
00:34:02,911 --> 00:34:07,120
And, in fact,
we are merely rediscovering
677
00:34:07,245 --> 00:34:10,578
what has happened already
a long time ago.
678
00:34:10,703 --> 00:34:13,203
As far as some
ancient astronaut theorists
679
00:34:13,328 --> 00:34:16,286
are concerned,
merging biology and
680
00:34:16,411 --> 00:34:18,161
technology is an important
681
00:34:18,245 --> 00:34:21,578
first step in becoming
like our alien ancestors.
682
00:34:21,703 --> 00:34:25,703
But they believe
the extraterrestrial beings
683
00:34:25,786 --> 00:34:28,203
that people have reported
encountering on Earth
684
00:34:28,328 --> 00:34:30,828
may be merely avatars,
685
00:34:30,911 --> 00:34:32,661
vessels for intelligences
686
00:34:32,786 --> 00:34:35,708
that can move
from one body to another.
687
00:34:36,036 --> 00:34:38,377
What if they're digital beings?
688
00:34:38,495 --> 00:34:41,411
Or light beings?
We have numerous stories
689
00:34:41,578 --> 00:34:44,536
that tell us that
the god beings were
690
00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:48,203
originally light beings that
could then phase into a physical
691
00:34:48,370 --> 00:34:50,745
flesh-and-blood form
and then phase back into
692
00:34:50,870 --> 00:34:53,453
their light body form when
they want to travel the stars.
693
00:34:53,578 --> 00:34:56,370
We hear the story
of the Anunnaki,
694
00:34:56,453 --> 00:34:59,411
the divine lords of light
of the Sumerian tradition...
695
00:35:00,370 --> 00:35:02,620
...or the arrival
of the Watchers,
696
00:35:02,745 --> 00:35:05,703
the lords of light
who descended upon Mount Hermon.
697
00:35:06,745 --> 00:35:10,536
The stories of
Vishnu actually describe Vishnu
698
00:35:10,703 --> 00:35:13,870
having many manifestations
of himself as other gods.
699
00:35:13,995 --> 00:35:16,703
He would come to our reality
as a different god.
700
00:35:16,828 --> 00:35:19,536
He came to Earth
many different times as many
701
00:35:19,620 --> 00:35:22,036
different people and had
adventures and activities
702
00:35:22,161 --> 00:35:24,745
and then he would go back
into the heavens as Vishnu.
703
00:35:24,870 --> 00:35:28,370
The aliens could be avatars.
704
00:35:28,453 --> 00:35:30,870
They can withstand all
the rigors of outer space
705
00:35:30,995 --> 00:35:33,828
because they are part biological
and part mechanical
706
00:35:33,911 --> 00:35:37,870
but controlled by
an alien consciousness
707
00:35:37,995 --> 00:35:40,078
in a different star system.
708
00:35:40,203 --> 00:35:43,370
While the
notion of a conscious being that
709
00:35:43,536 --> 00:35:47,203
can move from one body to
another may sound far-fetched,
710
00:35:47,328 --> 00:35:49,245
humankind is working towards
711
00:35:49,411 --> 00:35:51,495
realizing this technology
right now
712
00:35:51,620 --> 00:35:55,012
by attempting to map
the human brain.
713
00:35:55,161 --> 00:35:57,951
Whole brain emulation
is the ability
714
00:35:58,036 --> 00:36:02,453
to create a carbon copy
of the brain itself.
715
00:36:02,538 --> 00:36:06,663
Already, by slicing and dicing
the brain of a fruit fly,
716
00:36:06,786 --> 00:36:09,578
we've been able to catalog
all the connections
717
00:36:09,703 --> 00:36:11,370
of a fruit fly's brain
718
00:36:11,495 --> 00:36:14,953
up to 100,000 neurons.
719
00:36:15,078 --> 00:36:19,245
Think about that... every single
connection of the brain
720
00:36:19,370 --> 00:36:22,036
of a fruit fly mapped
using computers
721
00:36:22,203 --> 00:36:24,703
by slicing and dicing the brain.
722
00:36:24,828 --> 00:36:27,661
Now, the human brain
is much more complicated.
723
00:36:27,786 --> 00:36:30,370
A hundred billion neurons,
724
00:36:30,453 --> 00:36:32,786
with each neuron connected to
725
00:36:32,911 --> 00:36:36,536
10,000 other neurons,
but in principle
726
00:36:36,661 --> 00:36:39,578
that's also possible
to create an exact copy
727
00:36:39,745 --> 00:36:43,745
of the brain to map
every single neuron
728
00:36:43,870 --> 00:36:45,245
of the brain
729
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:49,078
using transistors
rather than neurons.
730
00:36:49,203 --> 00:36:51,078
And it would, in principle,
731
00:36:51,203 --> 00:36:53,786
be identical to who you are.
732
00:36:53,911 --> 00:36:56,536
It would have access
to all your memories,
733
00:36:56,620 --> 00:36:59,370
all your dreams,
all your foibles,
734
00:36:59,453 --> 00:37:01,370
all your mannerisms.
735
00:37:01,536 --> 00:37:03,536
It'll take, of course, decades
736
00:37:03,620 --> 00:37:07,286
to give you that kind of
accuracy, but it is doable.
737
00:37:08,495 --> 00:37:11,786
Once scientists can
completely replicate a human brain
738
00:37:11,911 --> 00:37:13,953
through whole brain emulation,
739
00:37:14,078 --> 00:37:17,661
then that information
can be uploaded to a computer
740
00:37:17,745 --> 00:37:21,536
to digitally represent
a person's consciousness.
741
00:37:21,620 --> 00:37:25,370
Could it be that
extraterrestrials who already
742
00:37:25,495 --> 00:37:28,203
possess this capability
have come to Earth
743
00:37:28,328 --> 00:37:32,578
by uploading their consciousness
into artificial bodies?
744
00:37:32,703 --> 00:37:35,578
There are some
theoretical physicists
745
00:37:35,745 --> 00:37:38,203
who say not only
is this possible
746
00:37:38,335 --> 00:37:42,674
but that this is how humans will
eventually leave the planet
747
00:37:42,885 --> 00:37:46,218
and travel the stars.
748
00:37:55,495 --> 00:37:59,245
August 27, 2019.
749
00:38:01,453 --> 00:38:04,703
Space X announces
the successful test flight
750
00:38:04,870 --> 00:38:08,036
of its stars hip prototype
Star hopper.
751
00:38:08,161 --> 00:38:11,286
The founder of
the private aerospace company,
752
00:38:11,411 --> 00:38:14,870
billionaire Elon Musk,
has also been at the forefront
753
00:38:14,953 --> 00:38:18,161
of efforts to upgrade humankind.
754
00:38:18,301 --> 00:38:21,703
It is his belief that
both pursuits are critical
755
00:38:21,828 --> 00:38:24,926
to ensuring the survival
of the human race.
756
00:38:25,312 --> 00:38:27,729
It's interesting that, today,
757
00:38:27,911 --> 00:38:31,953
we have these adventurer
billionaires like Elon Musk,
758
00:38:32,078 --> 00:38:36,536
and they want to put
computer chips in our brains,
759
00:38:36,620 --> 00:38:40,286
even map our
own consciousness and put
760
00:38:40,411 --> 00:38:42,203
that in a robot or cyborg,
761
00:38:42,328 --> 00:38:45,870
and they're wanting to go
into space at the same time.
762
00:38:45,995 --> 00:38:47,495
So, in many ways,
763
00:38:47,620 --> 00:38:49,245
they're like the
764
00:38:49,411 --> 00:38:50,703
alien explorers
765
00:38:50,828 --> 00:38:53,286
who came here in the past.
766
00:38:55,411 --> 00:38:57,036
I think with known technologies,
767
00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,745
we can theorize, that is,
within 100, within 200 years,
768
00:39:00,911 --> 00:39:03,953
we're talking about
fusion rockets and antimatter
769
00:39:04,078 --> 00:39:07,245
rockets capable
of reaching the stars.
770
00:39:07,370 --> 00:39:09,495
And then I think
we'll be sending
771
00:39:09,620 --> 00:39:13,703
robots into outer space
that are actually avatars.
772
00:39:13,828 --> 00:39:17,245
I personally think this is
the future of the space program,
773
00:39:17,370 --> 00:39:20,870
and I think we will do this
using laser beams.
774
00:39:20,995 --> 00:39:23,953
If we can digitize
the human brain,
775
00:39:24,078 --> 00:39:27,161
we can put that knowledge
on a laser beam
776
00:39:27,286 --> 00:39:28,578
and shoot it to the Moon.
777
00:39:28,703 --> 00:39:30,536
In one second,
778
00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:32,703
you are on the Moon.
779
00:39:32,786 --> 00:39:35,578
In 20 minutes,
you could be on Mars.
780
00:39:35,703 --> 00:39:38,328
In four years,
at the speed of light,
781
00:39:38,453 --> 00:39:41,036
you could reach
the nearby stars.
782
00:39:41,161 --> 00:39:42,286
And what would you do?
783
00:39:42,411 --> 00:39:43,786
If that laser beam goes
784
00:39:43,911 --> 00:39:46,328
to the Moon, is then downloaded
785
00:39:46,453 --> 00:39:48,036
into an avatar,
786
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,453
that avatar could withstand
gravity fields,
787
00:39:51,578 --> 00:39:53,036
poisonous gases,
788
00:39:53,203 --> 00:39:54,578
radiation from the Sun.
789
00:39:54,745 --> 00:39:57,370
And in fact,
I'll stick my neck out.
790
00:39:57,453 --> 00:39:59,203
I think this already exists.
791
00:39:59,370 --> 00:40:01,661
I think this is
the preferred way
792
00:40:01,745 --> 00:40:05,411
for an advanced alien species
to explore the universe.
793
00:40:05,536 --> 00:40:07,286
In fact, near the Earth,
794
00:40:07,411 --> 00:40:09,036
there could be a digital highway
795
00:40:09,203 --> 00:40:10,870
with the digitized souls
796
00:40:10,953 --> 00:40:15,036
of billions of aliens going
across the Milky Way Galaxy.
797
00:40:15,161 --> 00:40:18,036
So I think when we
meet aliens from outer space,
798
00:40:18,203 --> 00:40:20,870
we should not be surprised
if they're actually
799
00:40:20,995 --> 00:40:23,911
avatars that are controlled by
800
00:40:24,078 --> 00:40:26,536
the aliens
in a distant star system.
801
00:40:26,661 --> 00:40:28,786
As entrepreneurs
802
00:40:28,911 --> 00:40:31,203
continue to invest
billions in pursuit
803
00:40:31,328 --> 00:40:34,286
of both space travel
and whole brain emulation,
804
00:40:34,411 --> 00:40:37,703
are we getting closer to
becoming like the immortals
805
00:40:37,828 --> 00:40:41,703
our ancestors described
thousands of years ago?
806
00:40:41,828 --> 00:40:45,203
And if these immortals were
responsible for the creation
807
00:40:45,328 --> 00:40:46,661
of the human race,
808
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:49,453
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,
809
00:40:49,578 --> 00:40:52,786
could this evolution be exactly
810
00:40:52,918 --> 00:40:55,918
what they intended
for humankind all along?
811
00:40:57,598 --> 00:40:59,870
Why would extraterrestrials
come to Earth
812
00:40:59,953 --> 00:41:01,953
and start a human project,
813
00:41:02,078 --> 00:41:04,328
knowing that it would
take thousands of years
814
00:41:04,411 --> 00:41:05,911
for us to, to develop?
815
00:41:06,036 --> 00:41:08,370
Well, it could perhaps
be that extraterrestrials
816
00:41:08,495 --> 00:41:12,745
have a different perspective
of time than we do.
817
00:41:12,911 --> 00:41:15,036
If we think
of the extraterrestrials
818
00:41:15,161 --> 00:41:17,703
as immortal, time is irrelevant.
819
00:41:17,828 --> 00:41:21,161
And their goal
is to assist humanity
820
00:41:21,245 --> 00:41:23,828
to become more like them.
821
00:41:25,245 --> 00:41:28,245
There's a potential
that humanity is going to become
822
00:41:28,370 --> 00:41:31,453
a starfaring nation
that has long life
823
00:41:31,578 --> 00:41:33,744
because you're gonna need that
for some of these long journeys.
824
00:41:33,828 --> 00:41:37,161
And we might become more
like the gods that seemed to
825
00:41:37,245 --> 00:41:40,911
live for thousands of years
and traveled the heavens.
826
00:41:43,078 --> 00:41:45,536
Is humanity
on the verge of becoming
827
00:41:45,620 --> 00:41:47,661
an intergalactic civilization?
828
00:41:47,745 --> 00:41:50,911
And if so,
is it possible that we
829
00:41:50,996 --> 00:41:54,121
were set on this path
by an extraterrestrial race
830
00:41:54,328 --> 00:41:57,453
that visited Earth
thousands of years ago?
831
00:41:57,578 --> 00:42:00,863
Perhaps one day,
the immortal gods
832
00:42:00,948 --> 00:42:02,786
seen descending from the sky
833
00:42:02,955 --> 00:42:05,143
on a distant planet...
834
00:42:06,073 --> 00:42:07,078
will be us.
835
