NARRATOR: Zeus.

Surya.

Thor.

For thousands of
years, ancient myths

have described gods who
came down from the heavens.

-Always, you have
someone who is descending

from the sky with loud
noise, with thundering,

with fire, with smoke.

-They would have come from the
most powerful and magical place

possible-- from the stars.

NARRATOR: But just who were
these mystical beings that

ruled the skies with
supernatural powers?

-You could wonder if--
these tales of Zeus's

thunderbolts, Thor's hammer,
if these weren't real weapons.

NARRATOR: Did our ancient
ancestors create the gods

from their own imaginations,
or did they simply report

events they believed to be true?

-Our ancestors misinterpreted
extraterrestrials as gods

because that was the
only way that they

could explain away
what they witnessed.

NARRATOR: Millions of
people around the world

believe we've been
visited in the past

by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

And were the gods
of our ancestors

actually visitors
from other worlds?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

NARRATOR: Truva, Turkey.

For over 150 years,
this small city

has been the center
of one of the greatest

archaeological finds
in modern history.

The possible discovery of
the legendary city of Troy.

In 1868, amateur archaeologist
Heinrich Schliemann

set out to find what he
believed was the city that

served as the basis
for the Trojan War

as described in
one of the greatest

pieces of classical literature--
Homer's epic poem, The Iliad.

Written in the 8th
century BC, Homer's Iliad

tells the tale of
a great war borne

of feuding and jealous gods.

While most scholars believe
the story of the Trojan War

was a work of
fiction, Schliemann

was determined to prove
the myth was a reality.

-Heinrich Schliemann's
discoveries

rock the archaeological world.

Armed with his copy of
the Iliad, basically,

he just decided that he
was going to find Troy.

And so he went and
just dug a big hole.

And when he went, he
discovered the real Troy.

NARRATOR: But if Homer's
story of Troy was true,

what would it say about other
Greek stories and myths?

Might those also be true?

Did powerful gods and
goddesses actually exist?

And if so, where
did they come from?

Hellas, also known as "Greece."

Each day, thousands of tourists
visit temples and monuments

built to honor the
gods of another age--

the Acropolis,
Delphi, the Parthenon,

the Temple of Apollo.

These ancient sites reflect
a powerful reverence

for beings that supposedly ruled
the world thousands of years

ago.

-When you look at in many of the
mythologies around the world,

they have these stories of
gods coming down from the sky.

-There's a beautiful description
of the way that the gods move.

Like when they kind
come down to the earth,

you get the sense of
them gliding down,

but the way that they move
is kind of beyond time.

It just kind of happens.

NARRATOR: If the
ancient Greeks invented

the stories of gods
as a primitive attempt

to explain their
universe, how can

we account for
similar deities found

in widely different regions
and cultures around the globe.

Was it mere coincidence?

Or was there a common origin
for these gods who supposedly

traveled to earth
from the skies.

-The earliest civilization
we have-- 3,800

BC-- the Sumerians
actually give us

visual descriptions of these
beings and speak of this time

that they lived amongst
their living gods.

They call their
gods the "Anunnaki,"

and that term simply meant those
who from heaven come to earth.

-Mythology is chockful
of these episodes of gods

coming down to earth.

I mean, because mythology is so
interested in the relationship

between gods and humans,
there is necessarily

going to be a lot of
communication and communion

between the two of them.

NARRATOR: In his book, Odyssey
of the Gods, Erich von Daniken

argues that the world's sacred
books are full of descriptions,

not of gods, but of supernatural
beings interacting with humans.

-Some thousands of years ago,
when our forefathers were still

primitive some extraterrestrials
descended to our planet.

And because of
misunderstanding, lack

of technology our
forefathers thought

that these extraterrestrials
must be some gods.

NARRATOR: Mount Olympus,
Greece's highest mountain.

According to ancient myths, this
site was the home of the gods.

It was here on Mount Olympus
that Zeus sat on his throne

and determined the
fate of mortal man.

-Whenever we have
references to Mount Olympus,

it is described to be this
magnificent palace on top

of Mount Olympus, allegedly,
and the temple walls were always

gleaming of gold or
gleaming with silver

and a lot of little lights
that they described as jewels.

Well, if you look at that
from a modern perspective,

what if that place,
Mount Olympus,

wasn't necessarily
the top of a mountain,

but it was, in
fact, a spaceship?

Because it is described
how sometimes there

was a big rumbling with Mount
Olympus and the entire top

lifted off.

NARRATOR: But if Mount Olympus
was home to alien visitors,

could Zeus have
been their leader?

According to both the
Iliad and the Odyssey,

Zeus was often depicted as
wielding a lightning bolt.

-It appears to be a
very powerful weapon

because he could
destroy whole cities

with this thunderbolt
weapon of his.

NARRATOR: Similarly,
Zeus' brother,

Poseidon-- the god of the
sea-- was armed with a trident.

-He was able to create tsunamis,
tidal waves with this weapon.

The trident weapon
of Poseidon seems

to have been something
more than just a pitchfork.

-So is it possible that the
lightning bolt and the trident

is some type of a
direct energy device?

NARRATOR: Arguably, one
of the most important

of the Greek gods
was Apollo who rode

the skies in his
chariot of fire.

-Apollo first was the teacher of
the young Greeks living there.

He teach them how to make
buildings on the mountain,

on the hillside.

He teach them how to make roads.

He teach them in astronomy.

NARRATOR: Centuries
later, when Rome

ruled over Europe and
the Mediterranean,

from the 1st century BC
until the 7th century AD,

the Romans paid homage to
gods similar to the Greeks.

Zeus was now known as "Jupiter."

Poseidon was called "Neptune."

But Apollo was known to both
the Romans and the Greeks.

Coincidence?

Or as most ancient astronaut
theorists believed, was it

the historical account
of powerful beings that

came to earth
thousands of years ago?

-We know that the
extraterrestrials more

than likely are the source
of what they call "gods."

How did they get here?

More than likely, in
some type of craft.

-What we map into our
myths and our legends

are incredible stories,
incredible events.

And any extraterrestrial
being, any ancient alien

who has come here on
earth will be written down

into this account because it
is such an extraordinary event

that it'll be marked forever.

NARRATOR: But if the stories of
Greek and Roman gods are true,

can evidence of
their existence be

found in other
parts of the globe?

And if so, where did they go?

On the northwest coast of
France, just south of Brittany,

lies one of the most important
prehistoric sites in Europe.

At the seaside
village of Carnac,

over 3,000 megalithic
stones are placed in rows

over two miles long.

The Carnac stones were hewn
from local rock formations

and erected between
4500 to 2500 BC,

at the end of the Stone Age.

They are the largest
collection of standing stones

in the world.

-Archaeologists are baffled by
the many megaliths at Carnac

here.

It's clearly a massive
construction project

with blocks of granite
weighing 50 to 100,

to even up to 350 tons.

Legends here say that
giants built Carnac,

but you have to wonder--
What is the real purpose

of these giant megaliths?

And why would
prehistoric people have

moved all of these
massive stones

and placed them in their many
alignments here at Carnac?

-Thousands of large
stones have been

arranged in very
interesting patterns.

They're arranged in
intersecting lines

that form triangles
that could only

be visible from above the earth.

These arrangements
of stones may have

been a way of communicating
with extraterrestrial beings.

NARRATOR: The ancient
Greek poet, Pindar,

spoke of a mystical land called
Hyperborea, far to the north

where the sun shined
24 hours a day.

Legends claim that Apollo
visited Hyperborea traveling

in his chariot of
fire every 20 years.

-Apollo, who tells
the Greeks, OK.

I'm going to go see
some other people.

I've got to go and teach them.

And they're like, Well,
where are you off to?

And he's like,
Well, I'm actually

going to a place that's beyond
where the North Wind comes.

It's the land of
the Hyperboreans.

NARRATOR: Although mainstream
archaeologists speculate

that the Carnac stones are
most likely tomb markers,

ancient astronaut
theorists believed

these stones are
intentionally laid out

in a unique geometric formation.

-Many speculations
existed since centuries.

And only a few years
ago, in France,

they started to photograph
this whole French Brittany

by helicopters.

And when they put the
pictures together,

all of a sudden
someone realized,

Hey, this is not coincidence.

The distances of the lines are
always the same-- 2,860 meters,

or exactly the half
of 2,860 meters.

The angles are always the same.

It's Pythagorean triangles.

It's all a gigantic
geometrical pattern

from Stone Age,
which is impossible.

Our Stone Age people had no
idea of Pythagoras' triangles.

Pythagoras was about 420 BC.

NARRATOR: Even though
the geometric arrangement

of the Carnac stones predates
the Pythagorean theorem

by more than 2,000
years, one question

remains-- Why were
the stones arranged

in such a precise pattern?

-The Carnac stones are
one of the few things

on the planet that can
actually be seen from space.

And they're a perfect
marker for any kind

of aerial vehicle looking
down on the earth.

-Many of the tourists
who come here to Carnac

claim that they can actually
feel the energy emanating

from these granite megaliths.

How did these ancient people
know about this energy?

And is it possible
that they were

able to use this energy
to even move and erect

these giant stones?

-I am of the opinion that
they were made on purpose.

The extraterrestrials told our
ancestor, Do this and this.

It's not the extraterrestrials
who made the stone lines.

It's the humans who made
it, but by the author

of the extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: But were
the Carnac stones

a sign post for an
ancient astronaut

called "Apollo" as he flew his
spacecraft high above the land?

-If the Greek god
Apollo was really

some kind of ancient
astronaut, it's

possible that the
stones here at Carnac

were a directional
finder pointing

the way to the far north, to the
Hyperborea of the ancient gods.

NARRATOR: Over 1,000
miles north of Carnac

lies Scandinavian-- home
to an ancient people

called the "Norse."

The Norse were tribal
Germanic people

who lived in what is now known
as Sweden, Denmark, Iceland,

and Norway.

Norse legends record the
triumphs of great warriors

with advanced weaponry,
sophisticated combat

techniques, and
navigational prowess.

Like the Greeks, Norse mythology
includes supernatural beings,

other worlds, and powerful gods.

But, like the Romans,
could the Norse myths

refer not to different gods but
the same gods as those depicted

by the ancient Greeks?

-There are a number
of similarities

between Greek mythology
and Norse mythology.

And many of the gods
are almost identical,

and they do much the same thing.

NARRATOR: Descriptions
of the Viking god

Odin-- the god of war,
death, and knowledge--

and the Greek god Zeus
bears striking similarities.

-Zeus and Odin are
both sky father gods.

They travel through
the skies in chariots

because they are akin
to the solar divinities.

The precursor to many religious
beliefs is sun worship.

The ancients knew that
life came from the sun.

So that is a-- a great mystery
and a source of great awe.

-What you're getting there
is not just some minor deity,

but you really are
nailing it down

to one of the chief deities.

This is a very
important character.

And so whoever is
behind Odin or Zeus

is obviously a person
or a divine entity

which is shared
by these cultures.

And it's clear that
whoever inspired

the myth of-- of Zeus
or Odin is somehow

somebody who had an extremely
important contribution to make

to both civilizations.

So this entity was definitely
known throughout Europe.

NARRATOR: Ancient
alien theorists also

point to similarities between
the sophisticated weapons

possessed by both the
Norse and the Greek gods.

Among Odin's weapons was a spear
that never missed its target.

The Norse god Thor--
god of storms, strength,

and fertility-- wielded
a powerful hammer.

-Right there, we
have a correlation,

a connection because, not only
does Zeus have the thunderbolt,

but what does Odin
have, and Thor?

They have a hammer.

Thor has a hammer
with which he can

smash things, destroy things.

And, you know,
the hammer idea is

pretty close with
the description

to the lightning
rod that Zeus has.

-So you have to wonder if these
tales of Zeus' thunderbolts,

Thor's hammer, if these
weren't real weapons.

Just like we have today, where
we have directed energy beam

weapons or are developing some
kind of literal thunderbolt

coming out of a spacecraft.

NARRATOR: But such
similarities are not

limited to the Greek
and Norse myths.

In India, the ancient
epic of the Mahabharata

describes visitations
from gods that

possess the advanced
technology of space travel.

-There you can read, some
thousands of years ago,

gigantic cities
surrounded our planet.

They used the word
"cities" because they

had no word for
modern spaceship.

All of a sudden,
out of these cities,

smaller spacecrafts came out.

Of course, in
ancient Indian they

had no word like "spacecraft,"
so they called it "Vimana."

NARRATOR: The ancient
texts of the Hebrew Bible

also describes a
prophet who traveled

the skies in a
sophisticated machine.

-Who is Enoch?

He was the seventh Antediluvian
prophet in the Old Testament,

including in the Torah
of the Jewish community.

Enoch is only described
with two phrases.

That's all.

And it says that the lord took
him away in a fiery chariot

into the heavens.

NARRATOR: But technology was
not the only characteristic

these ancient deities
had in common.

According to legends, the gods
enjoyed intimate relations

with humans.

But if aliens did
choose human women

as their sexual partners,
what was their motivation?

And just what was the outcome
of these very close encounters?

Ancient myths are
full of stories

of gods descending to
earth to mate with humans.

-According to many sources--
including Norse mythology,

Greek mythology,
and even the Bible--

we have the stories
of these sons of God

or actual gods from Mount
Olympus or Valhalla.

And they're coming to Earth.

They find the daughters
of men attractive.

-When all these
encounters happened

and when women slept
with those gods-- which

can be found in multiple
texts all around the planet,

that those women actually had
sex with extraterrestrials,

not with gods.

Because gods do not exist.

NARRATOR: According to Homer's
Iliad, the citizens of Sparta

were renowned for
their heroic warriors

and their beautiful women.

Zeus, the Greek god of the sky,
admired a human named "Leda."

One afternoon, while Leda
walked alone in an orchard,

Zeus changed into a
swan, enveloped her

in his powerful wings,
and made love to her.

Only later did Leda realize she
had been impregnated by a god.

-When you look at
Greek mythology

and-- and many of the
mythologies around the world,

they have these stories of
gods coming down from the sky

and have sexual intercourse with
these humans and, in a sense,

create a new breed of human.

NARRATOR: The offspring
of these couplings

were described by the ancients
as demigods or half-gods.

Experts suggest demigods were
supernatural hybrid-beings

of human and alien origin.

Ancient Greeks believed
these beings were exceptional

and destined to perform
extraordinary feats.

-It is a tradition
in many civilizations

that there were certain human
children who were somehow

not human but somehow had
a connection to the stars,

to a realm beyond the earth.

And this specialness seems
to be there from birth.

And it somehow seem to
involve a-- a DNA component--

which maybe science needs to
look at and needs to study.

NARRATOR: Some of the oldest
accounts of gods and humans

interbreeding can be found
in ancient Hindu texts.

-In the ancient Sanskrit
writings of India,

we find this account--
A queen named

"Kunti" mated with
a celestial being,

an extraterrestrial, who
was known as the sun god.

The product of this
mating was Karna,

one of the heroes of the
Indian epic, the Mahabharata.

NARRATOR: Perhaps the
most famous demigod

is the Greek hero Heracles, also
known as the Roman Hercules.

Heracles was half-man, half-god
conceived in the union of Zeus

and a mortal woman
named "Alcmene."

Mainstream scholars have often
dismissed the tales of demigods

as fantasy.

But ancient astronaut
theorists believe

they reflect actual
living entities.

-These types of accounts of
the ancient wisdom traditions

have a modern
equivalence in accounts

of alien-terrestrial
hybrids, which

is part of the modern
UFO-alien-abduction type

of account.

It's remarkable that we
find in these modern reports

exact equivalents in
the ancient accounts.

That suggests that we're
dealing with realities here.

We're not just dealing
with imaginary stories.

NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists

say the term "star
children" is another way

to describe the
offspring of humans

and ancient extraterrestrials.

They claim that in
the early traditions

of nearly every
major world religion,

star children correlate
to supernatural

beings known as "gods."

-"Star child" is an often-used
reference in ancient texts when

a woman had a quote/unquote
divine interaction with one

of the gods often resulting in
a woman being pregnant without

having slept with anyone.

You know, is such a
thing even possible?

Yes, it is.

Today, artificial insemination.

That's what happens today.

You no longer have to have
sex in order to have babies.

We have the exact same
description thousands of years

ago where women-- without
sleeping with anyone-- all

of a sudden became pregnant.

And the question is--
How is that possible?

NARRATOR: Did aliens that
came to earth in ancient times

use advanced
fertility technology?

-Within Greek mythology, you
have many strange stories

of centaurs, cyclops,
weird genetic half-human,

half-animal creations.

And you have to speculate--
at least to a point--

that there's a possibility of
strange genetic engineering

going on here and
creating what are

literal monsters in the past.

-In some of the writings
of ancient civilizations,

we see accounts of mating
between extraterrestrial beings

and humans producing
monsters or giants

or other similar
types of beings.

And why is that?

I believe it's because it has
actually happened in the past.

NARRATOR: Could
these ancient tales

of enormous creatures--
half-human, half-beast--

be rooted in truth?

And if so, is there any evidence
these giant hybrids really

existed?

Lovelock, Nevada.

In the early 1800s,
local legends

passed down by
the Paiute Indians

told of a race of
giants who were

exterminated by their tribes.

It is said this was done by
trapping the giants in a cave,

shooting arrows at
them, and then starting

a large fire at the
mouth of the cave.

Evidence of the
slaughter lay undisturbed

until the early 20th century.

-Lovelock Cave was
first discovered

by local ranchers who
were looking for bat guano

to use in their fields.

NARRATOR: In need of
fertilizer for their crops,

the ranchers remove nearly 10
feet of guano-enriched soil

from the surface of the cave.

-And then, they began
finding human remains.

They found up to 40 or 50
people inside this cave.

One was allegedly 7
feet 7 inches tall.

They all had long, red hair
and were literal giants.

NARRATOR: If these
skeletons were

the remains of the
legendary red-haired giants,

were they visitors from
distant continents?

-Throughout the 19th
century, many giant skeletons

were allegedly discovered
in the Midwest,

also in parts of California
and around Death Valley.

And the skeletons here found
at Lovelock are one of the few

that were really excavated
by an accredited university.

NARRATOR: Archaeologists from
the Nevada Historical Society

and the University
of California believe

the cave was occupied
from approximately 1500 BC

until a few hundred years
before white men appeared

in the Nevada territory.

75 miles from the cave
site, a local museum

has preserved several
skulls that some believe

are recovered remains
of the giants.

-Inside this cabinet
here are three skulls

from the Lovelock Caves.

When you first see
these skulls, they

seem to be pretty much
normal-looking skulls.

However, it's when
we really start

to compare the jaw bones with
this modern dental impression

of a normal adult
male that we see

that these jaw bones
are unusually large.

And these are really the
skulls of giant people who

were perhaps 7,
even 8 feet tall.

One of the odd things
with these skulls

is that they're not actually put
on display here at the museum.

And they're kept
hidden in this cabinet.

Now, we don't know if that's
really just out of respect

for the Native Americans
or whether there's really

something unusual about
these giant skulls

that they don't want
them to display it.

NARRATOR: Are the
Nevada bones evidence

of a race of giants
that existed all

through early human history?

If so, could the giants
be the descendants

of extraterrestrials?

According to the
Hebrew testament,

one such giant appeared in the
Valley of Elah 2,500 years ago.

Each morning, for 40
days, a Philistine giant

over 9 feet tall challenged
the Israelites to a fight.

His name was "Goliath."

-David and Goliath is one of
those episodes in the Bible

where you wonder,
What is going on?

Is it just a metaphor?

Or are we dealing with a
fundamental interpretation?

And in that sense, Goliath
has to be a giant creature.

The question, then,
is-- He cannot be human.

What is he?

NARRATOR: David's stunning
triumph over Goliath

was considered a mere fable
until archaeologists turned up

evidence that suggests
this confrontation really

did happen.

On the outskirts of
[INAUDIBLE] Israel,

scientists discovered
a mote that

may have once protected
the Philistine fortress.

Nearby, they found
shards of pottery

inscribed with the
name "Goliath."

Tests indicate the pottery
is from the same time period

as described in the Bible.

Ancient astronaut
theorists claim

this is unmistakable evidence
of extraterrestrial giants

in biblical times.

And they say there is much more.

The most common megalithic
construction known

is the dolmen.

Believed to be
burial chambers, they

are found throughout Europe,
the Middle East, South America,

and Asia.

Could these mega-structures
be the ruins of giants?

-Archeology likes to
use the word "dolmen,"

but they were formerly known in
folklore as "giants' graves."

-A dolmen is shaped like
the-- the Greek letter "pi"

with the top on it.

And they're made of enormous
blocks of limestone.

And even today, it's-- we-- we
are marveled that anyone could

construct those things
and wonder how they got

the top on top of the uprights.

And those were built during
the middle of Bronze Period--

which is roughly 2,000 to
1,500 before the Common Era.

So seeing things like
that, people questioned.

Those must have
been made by giants.

I mean, ordinary people
could not have done that.

-Are we dealing with
metaphors or are

we dealing with a hard evidence?

Are these physical creatures
which somehow roamed the earth?

And I think on volume, we have
to accept that some of these

were real.

The question, then, is--
How did these genetic freaks

come about?

-One of the main tenets of
ancient astronaut theory

suggests that a long time
ago extraterrestrials changed

our genetic makeup through a
targeted mutation of our genes,

essentially in the lab.

So they took a couple of human
beings, altered their DNA,

then reinserted those people
back into the population.

So through procreation,
those people

would pass on those
new genetic alterations

to the entire population.

NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists

suggest the evidence
points to one conclusion--

that aliens changed the
genetics of early human DNA.

-For an alien being
to work with DNA

is so easy that just
creating a new type

is not at all that difficult.

Even today, we
have the capability

to create new types of animals.

The question is-- Were we
created as such as well?

NARRATOR: But what reason
could extraterrestrial

visitors have had for
populating the earth

with mixed species
and monstrous hybrids?

Were they the result of some
kind of scientific experiment

gone terribly wrong?

Did ancient aliens
have some reason

to experiment with human DNA?

The Galapagos Islands off
the coast of South America

are known for their
unique biodiversity.

In 1832, a naturalist
named Charles Darwin

came to these islands
to observe and record

several species of
animals not seen before.

The result of his
studies formed the basis

for his controversial book,
The Origin of Species.

In it, Darwin
proposed his theory

of evolution, which held
that all life evolved

over time through a process
of natural selection.

But even Darwin's
theories could not

explain the developmental
gap between apes and man.

There was-- it was believed--
a transitional species that

had to exist-- one
which became referred

to as the "missing link."

-Homo sapiens have been
around for 300,000 years.

And only in a few
thousand years,

our brain size
essentially tripled.

Now, that does not jive
with ordinary evolution.

You need time--
a very long time.

However, today, biologists
cannot quite put a finger

on how our brain volume tripled
in a very short time period.

That is still a mystery.

NARRATOR: Could it be-- as many
ancient astronaut theorists

believe-- that
ancient aliens had

a hand in jump-starting human
evolution on our planet?

-Science has been unable
to find the missing link,

and maybe that's
simply because earth

isn't able to offer
that missing link.

Maybe the missing link
is not of this earth.

Maybe the missing link
is somewhere outside--

extraterrestrial.

NARRATOR: In 1996,
medical science

took a giant step forward when
geneticists successfully cloned

a sheep.

This revolutionary
technology marked

a significant advancement
in our understanding of DNA.

But could
extraterrestrial visitors

have also possessed
knowledge of genetics?

-In the Sumerian
records of mythology,

they explain how they
genetically engineered

the first human being.

And so it's very possible
that extraterrestrials

did genetically engineer us.

-More and more creatures
are being discovered

as science goes
along-- a little case

or on little islands
whereby DNA evidence clearly

shows that something
else has been happening.

We're probably going to get
the hard scientific facts

that something
interbred with humans

on certain occasions,
certain moments in time.

NARRATOR: Could the
giants and monsters

described in the
ancient myths be

examples of genetic mutations?

And if so, what purpose
might they have served?

-There are actually accounts in
the ancient Sanskrit writings

of India of how, in
their original attempts

to produce living
things in the universe,

the gods or the
extraterrestrial beings

made mistakes and produced
different types of monsters

and giants and things like that.

-Why should the
so-called "gods" first

make such mixed creatures?

What's the purpose of it?

They observe a lion.

And they say to
themself, Why don't we

mix the strongest of the
muscle of the one animal

with the heat expellant
skin of the other animal

to use it at some other planet
which is different to earth?

So they start to make breedings.

They start to make
mixed creatures.

NARRATOR: Scholars and
archaeologists generally

agree that sometime around 3000
BC, during the megalithic era,

mankind took a quantum
leap forward with regard

to civilization and
use of technology.

According to myths and
legends, human beings

gave credit to their gods for
giving them this knowledge.

But if the gods were,
in fact, alien visitors,

might mankind's quantum
leap forward have

had a more intergalactic origin?

-It is clear that something
affected multiple continents

on this planet around 3000 BC.

The pyramids began to be
built at that moment in time.

Why?

What was that imperative?

Was it a global imperative?

Yes.

Was it an imperative which came
from outside of this world?

Yes.

NARRATOR: If aliens
intervened to speed

the advancement of human
beings, is it also possible

that they have
influenced mankind

at other critical
junctures in history?

And if so, could they have
continued to monitor us,

even today?

-It's very possible
that, if there

was some type of
genetic intervention

by an extraterrestrial
race on humanity,

they would be very interested to
see their experiment progress.

-I have often asked the
question-- Is it not ridiculous

to believe that
extraterrestrials should--

in a way or other--
look similar to us

or even sing similar to us?

No.

The question is wrong.

They are not by
coincidence similar to us,

but we are similar to them
because we are the product.

NARRATOR: But if
alien beings did

interbreed with humans, why?

Was it to save their
own species or perhaps

hide the genetic traces of
their presence here on earth?

Could there even be
aliens living among us?
