They bury sites. 355 00:19:20,693 --> 00:19:22,460 It's almost as if 356 00:19:22,495 --> 00:19:26,330 this is a deliberate blotting out of the past. 357 00:19:28,201 --> 00:19:30,368 It's as if the

get burned or they get destroyed 366 00:19:57,897 --> 00:20:02,633 or they're deliberately ruined? 367 00:20:02,669 --> 00:20:06,037 Is it possible that there is, in fact, 368 00:20:06,072 --> 00:20:08,239 an ongoing extraterrestrial presence 369 00:20:08,274 --> 00:20:12,310 that has somehow infiltrated into our society? 370 00:20:12,345 --> 00:20:15,279 Could this extraterrestrial intelligence 371 00:20:15,315 --> 00:20:18,983 be deliberately thwarting any effort for itself 372 00:20:19,018 --> 00:20:24,388 to be discovered from the ancient records? 373 00:20:24,424 --> 00:20:27,225 (horse neighs) 374 00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:29,760 NARRATOR: Could there really be aliens among us 375 00:20:29,796 --> 00:20:32,196 inciting conflict, as some 376 00:20:32,232 --> 00:20:36,367 ancient astronaut theorists suggest? 377 00:20:36,402 --> 00:20:38,869 And, if so, 378 00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:41,205 might we find this conflict 379 00:20:41,241 --> 00:20:44,508 concentrated in so-called forbidden zones? 380 00:20:44,544 --> 00:20:45,810 But why? 381 00:20:45,845 --> 00:20:49,046 And perhaps even more importantly, 382 00:20:49,082 --> 00:20:53,751 how has this violent behavior been accomplished? 383 00:20:56,322 --> 00:20:59,624 Pasadena, California. 384 00:20:59,659 --> 00:21:03,761 Scientists at the California Institute of Technology 385 00:21:03,796 --> 00:21:05,763 identify a set of neurons 386 00:21:05,798 --> 00:21:08,766 in the hypothalamus of mouse brains 387 00:21:08,801 --> 00:21:12,003 that correspond to aggression. 388 00:21:12,038 --> 00:21:16,374 Through a technique called optogenetics, 389 00:21:16,409 --> 00:21:19,744 the group uses pulses of light to activate the neurons 390 00:21:19,779 --> 00:21:24,081 and instantaneously incite violence in the mice. 391 00:21:24,117 --> 00:21:27,918 There are many ways in which we can affect or manipulate 392 00:21:27,954 --> 00:21:30,154 the brain or brain function. 393 00:21:30,189 --> 00:21:32,823 And there's a really exciting new technique 394 00:21:32,859 --> 00:21:34,759 called optogenetics. 395 00:21:34,794 --> 00:21:37,061 And although it's not being used in humans yet, 396 00:21:37,096 --> 00:21:39,096 it's being used in animal trials. 397 00:21:39,132 --> 00:21:42,500 And what that is is they actually manipulate a virus 398 00:21:42,535 --> 00:21:44,769 so that it becomes a delivery system for a gene 399 00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:47,305 that's taken from a photosensitive algae. 400 00:21:47,340 --> 00:21:50,541 And that gene is then delivered to specific neurons, 401 00:21:50,576 --> 00:21:54,979 and then those neurons are triggered to fire via light. 402 00:21:55,014 --> 00:21:58,349 You can control the behavior of the animal via remote control 403 00:21:58,384 --> 00:21:59,917 in the sense all you have to do 404 00:21:59,952 --> 00:22:02,553 is trigger the different types of receptors to fire. 405 00:22:02,588 --> 00:22:04,622 If you actually go in and stimulate 406 00:22:04,657 --> 00:22:05,990 the prefrontal cortex, 407 00:22:06,025 --> 00:22:09,160 you can cause animals to act out. 408 00:22:11,731 --> 00:22:13,698 NARRATOR: In 2010, 409 00:22:13,733 --> 00:22:17,968 scientists at Osaka University and at the University of Texas 410 00:22:18,004 --> 00:22:21,672 publish separate findings both indicating 411 00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:26,243 that up to eight percent of the human genome comes from viruses 412 00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:30,614 and not from our ancestral DNA. 413 00:22:30,650 --> 00:22:32,783 Could this help explain 414 00:22:32,819 --> 00:22:35,252 how extraterrestrials might be able 415 00:22:35,288 --> 00:22:37,521 to incite humans to violence, 416 00:22:37,557 --> 00:22:40,257 just as researchers have used viruses 417 00:22:40,293 --> 00:22:44,362 to trigger aggression in mice? 418 00:22:44,397 --> 00:22:46,897 NOORY: Somebody genetically altered us 419 00:22:46,933 --> 00:22:49,333 a long, long time ago, 420 00:22:49,369 --> 00:22:53,904 and they intentionally put in this ability to become violent. 421 00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:57,808 There's no question that people could be manipulated, 422 00:22:57,844 --> 00:23:01,212 could be used to do all kinds of things 423 00:23:01,247 --> 00:23:03,247 and they wouldn't even know it. 424 00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:05,349 We are simply a pawn 425 00:23:05,385 --> 00:23:09,353 on an extraterrestrial chess game that they can move 426 00:23:09,389 --> 00:23:12,289 and manipulate any time they want, 427 00:23:12,325 --> 00:23:16,260 that they serve up, at their whim, whenever they want. 428 00:23:16,295 --> 00:23:18,295 There's no question about that. 429 00:23:18,331 --> 00:23:22,733 NARRATOR: Could humans be artificially stimulated 430 00:23:22,769 --> 00:23:25,069 to create acts of violence, 431 00:23:25,104 --> 00:23:29,073 as some ancient astronaut theorists propose? 432 00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:33,878 And might this stimulation be targeted to people 433 00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:38,315 living in certain regions of the world? 434 00:23:38,351 --> 00:23:42,219 Perhaps the answers can be found 435 00:23:42,255 --> 00:23:46,257 buried deep in the jungles of Guatemala. 436 00:23:49,395 --> 00:23:52,196 (birds chirping) 437 00:23:52,231 --> 00:23:55,599 NARRATOR: Deep in the jungles of Guatemala lie the ruins 438 00:23:55,635 --> 00:23:59,103 of the ancient Mayan city of El Mirador. 439 00:23:59,138 --> 00:24:03,507 Dating back to at least the fifth century BC, 440 00:24:03,543 --> 00:24:08,179 the site is believed to predate the classic Mayan civilization. 441 00:24:08,214 --> 00:24:13,851 But, curiously, it was abruptly abandoned around 150 BC. 442 00:24:13,886 --> 00:24:20,558 Western archaeologists rediscovered the site in 1979 443 00:24:20,593 --> 00:24:22,293 in an area currently controlled 444 00:24:22,328 --> 00:24:25,763 by one of the most feared drug cartels in the region. 445 00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:30,835 Today, armed soldiers stand guard 446 00:24:30,870 --> 00:24:33,704 just outside the archaeological site 447 00:24:33,739 --> 00:24:36,140 that is larger than Manhattan 448 00:24:36,175 --> 00:24:40,044 and contains one of the tallest pyramids in the world. 449 00:24:42,782 --> 00:24:47,284 ED BARNHART: El Mirador, in fact, has dozens of pyramids. 450 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,919 Many of them are as big 451 00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:50,721 as anything that the classic Maya made. 452 00:24:50,756 --> 00:24:53,791 But it's also one of their very oldest cities. 453 00:24:57,230 --> 00:24:59,208 NARRATOR: But perhaps the most intriguing discovery 454 00:24:59,232 --> 00:25:03,267 at El Mirador is a carving believed to be a depiction 455 00:25:03,302 --> 00:25:08,572 of the Mayan creation story known as the Popol Vuh. 456 00:25:08,608 --> 00:25:13,210 It dates back more than 2,000 years 457 00:25:13,246 --> 00:25:16,847 and is the oldest known version to survive 458 00:25:16,883 --> 00:25:20,084 after Central America was overtaken 459 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,754 by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century. 460 00:25:27,059 --> 00:25:28,893 TSOUKALOS: The conquistadors requested 461 00:25:28,928 --> 00:25:33,364 for all these different Mayan codices to be destroyed. 462 00:25:33,399 --> 00:25:38,502 And so after this pillaging and destruction happened, 463 00:25:38,538 --> 00:25:42,940 the Popol Vuh was re-created by the ruling elite at the time. 464 00:25:42,975 --> 00:25:45,276 And, to the best of their abilities, 465 00:25:45,311 --> 00:25:47,611 they tried to put on paper 466 00:25:47,647 --> 00:25:51,615 their histories and their mythologies of their ancestors. 467 00:25:51,651 --> 00:25:56,253 But these stories go back much further back in time. 468 00:25:56,289 --> 00:26:02,259 The Popol Vuh is foundational to Maya civilization. 469 00:26:02,295 --> 00:26:06,063 As foundational as the Bible is to Christianity. 470 00:26:06,098 --> 00:26:08,766 But now, things like what we found 471 00:26:08,801 --> 00:26:10,901 at El Mirador are telling us 472 00:26:10,937 --> 00:26:14,605 that that story goes back at least to 200 BC. 473 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,407 And that's exciting. 474 00:26:16,442 --> 00:26:20,644 Now we have a continuity of the Popol Vuh 475 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,947 being pivotal to Maya people 476 00:26:22,982 --> 00:26:25,316 all the way back to their origins. 477 00:26:28,821 --> 00:26:32,489 NARRATOR: Curiously, the Popol Vuh narrative 478 00:26:32,525 --> 00:26:34,758 and the Hebrew Bible's Book of Genesis 479 00:26:34,794 --> 00:26:37,361 contain many similarities, 480 00:26:37,396 --> 00:26:41,665 including the stories concerning the creation of the world, 481 00:26:41,701 --> 00:26:45,936 animals, and then, finally mankind. 482 00:26:45,972 --> 00:26:48,272 - (thunderclaps) - They both include stories 483 00:26:48,307 --> 00:26:50,207 of a great flood. 484 00:26:50,242 --> 00:26:54,178 And in both texts, it is suggested 485 00:26:54,213 --> 00:26:56,046 that there is information 486 00:26:56,082 --> 00:26:59,350 purposely kept from mankind by his creator. 487 00:27:01,687 --> 00:27:04,622 But what is unique to the Popol Vuh is an account 488 00:27:04,657 --> 00:27:06,824 of an earlier time 489 00:27:06,859 --> 00:27:10,027 when humans had access to greater knowledge. 490 00:27:13,833 --> 00:27:16,600 YOUNG: In the great Mayan creation narrative, 491 00:27:16,636 --> 00:27:22,206 the Popol Vuh, the gods created humans, 492 00:27:22,241 --> 00:27:25,009 and they had terrific knowledge. 493 00:27:25,044 --> 00:27:28,712 So much so that it worried the gods. 494 00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:32,616 And so they put a veil over the consciousness of the people 495 00:27:32,652 --> 00:27:34,385 so that they could only see 496 00:27:34,420 --> 00:27:36,453 what was right there in front of them. 497 00:27:36,489 --> 00:27:40,391 They limited their ability to know. 498 00:27:42,628 --> 00:27:45,663 WILLIAM BRAMLEY: The earliest human beings in the Popol Vuh... 499 00:27:45,698 --> 00:27:47,331 They were very smart. 500 00:27:47,366 --> 00:27:48,699 They basically understood things. 501 00:27:48,734 --> 00:27:50,601 They could see things. 502 00:27:50,636 --> 00:27:55,572 And so, the gods of creation said, "Oh, we can't have this." 503 00:27:55,608 --> 00:27:57,274 "So what we have to do is, 504 00:27:57,309 --> 00:28:00,944 we have to put a screen over that vision." 505 00:28:00,980 --> 00:28:03,847 Knowledge became less and less available 506 00:28:03,883 --> 00:28:06,950 to the overall population. 507 00:28:06,986 --> 00:28:11,121 What happened to the humans who were smarter than us? 508 00:28:11,157 --> 00:28:13,557 Were they, in fact, the ancient Egyptians, 509 00:28:13,592 --> 00:28:17,461 the Sumerians and many other ancient cultures? 510 00:28:17,496 --> 00:28:19,763 These areas, apparently, would have 511 00:28:19,799 --> 00:28:22,566 all of the records that we would need to completely 512 00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:25,002 rebuild our history. 513 00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:28,405 These are the most unstable areas on Earth. 514 00:28:28,441 --> 00:28:30,741 Could this be why? 515 00:28:32,778 --> 00:28:35,312 NARRATOR: Is it possible 516 00:28:35,347 --> 00:28:38,348 that ancient humans possessed greater knowledge 517 00:28:38,384 --> 00:28:40,451 than we currently do today, 518 00:28:40,486 --> 00:28:43,887 as the Mayan mythology seems to suggest? 519 00:28:43,923 --> 00:28:47,324 If so, who were these gods 520 00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:50,694 that the Mayans believed to be their creators? 521 00:28:50,730 --> 00:28:54,098 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 522 00:28:54,133 --> 00:28:56,767 their true identity might be revealed 523 00:28:56,802 --> 00:28:59,436 by examining one of the carvings contained 524 00:28:59,472 --> 00:29:01,605 within the Popol Vuh... 525 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,576 The so-called "Hero Twins." 526 00:29:05,611 --> 00:29:10,614 If you look at that carving, the guy is clearly wearing a helmet, 527 00:29:10,649 --> 00:29:12,249 and he has this backpack. 528 00:29:12,284 --> 00:29:14,284 And he's actually floating in space, 529 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,454 or he is descending from the sky. 530 00:29:17,490 --> 00:29:22,126 You have, uh, what seem to be like some kind of helmet. 531 00:29:22,161 --> 00:29:25,829 And even one of the figures looks like a flying saucer. 532 00:29:29,034 --> 00:29:31,335 Could these stone carvings be 533 00:29:31,370 --> 00:29:33,337 depictions of ancient astronauts? 534 00:29:33,372 --> 00:29:35,606 And if that is the case, then it would indicate 535 00:29:35,641 --> 00:29:39,676 that these extraterrestrials have actually created us. 536 00:29:39,712 --> 00:29:42,846 And in fact, they're still here today, 537 00:29:42,882 --> 00:29:46,984 manipulating us and guiding us into the future. 538 00:29:47,019 --> 00:29:52,523 NARRATOR: Do the carvings at El Mirador contain information 539 00:29:52,558 --> 00:29:56,927 about mankind's past that we were not meant to discover? 540 00:29:56,962 --> 00:29:59,463 If so, could it be 541 00:29:59,498 --> 00:30:03,534 that extraterrestrials have been creating barriers and warfare 542 00:30:03,569 --> 00:30:08,438 to prevent us from learning about our true origins? 543 00:30:08,474 --> 00:30:13,477 Or is there an even more profound explanation? 544 00:30:13,512 --> 00:30:18,448 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the ultimate proof 545 00:30:18,484 --> 00:30:21,185 of just what they are trying to hide can be found 546 00:30:21,220 --> 00:30:25,689 by examining one of the most fought-over sites on Earth... 547 00:30:25,724 --> 00:30:30,894 Temple Mount. 548 00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:35,566 (gunfire, shouting and chatter) 549 00:30:35,601 --> 00:30:38,168 (loud shouting) 550 00:30:38,204 --> 00:30:43,507 NARRATOR: Jerusalem, October, 2014. 551 00:30:43,542 --> 00:30:45,342 (gunfire) 552 00:30:45,377 --> 00:30:49,646 Amidst tension and violence after the assassination attempt 553 00:30:49,682 --> 00:30:51,615 on a Jewish activist, 554 00:30:51,650 --> 00:30:53,784 Israeli authorities shut down 555 00:30:53,819 --> 00:30:57,287 the sacred site of Temple Mount. 556 00:30:57,323 --> 00:31:00,824 Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas 557 00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:05,329 pronounces the closure "a declaration of war." 558 00:31:05,364 --> 00:31:09,600 And although access to the temple is quickly restored, 559 00:31:09,635 --> 00:31:15,272 many fear that a third intifada, or holy war, is now inevitable. 560 00:31:18,477 --> 00:31:21,745 That was the uprising that the Palestinians engaged in. 561 00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:23,747 This was their revolution. 562 00:31:23,782 --> 00:31:26,817 It began first in 1987, and was waged for five years. 563 00:31:26,852 --> 00:31:29,620 Then, in 2000, it lasted for another five years. 564 00:31:29,655 --> 00:31:31,488 There was tremendous violence 565 00:31:31,523 --> 00:31:35,125 between Palestinians and Israelis. 566 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,860 It shouldn't come as a surprise that 567 00:31:36,896 --> 00:31:38,862 the Temple Mount would be a flashpoint 568 00:31:38,898 --> 00:31:41,965 for all these conflicts. 569 00:31:45,804 --> 00:31:49,973 NARRATOR: The Temple Mount is a 35-acre platform 570 00:31:50,009 --> 00:31:52,843 that has long had great significance to Jews, 571 00:31:52,878 --> 00:31:56,280 Christians and Muslims. 572 00:31:56,315 --> 00:31:59,016 It is revered in the Jewish tradition 573 00:31:59,051 --> 00:32:04,054 as the place where God gathered the dust to create Adam, 574 00:32:04,089 --> 00:32:07,791 where Abraham nearly sacrificed his son Isaac 575 00:32:07,826 --> 00:32:10,560 to prove his faith to God, 576 00:32:10,596 --> 00:32:14,264 and where King Solomon built the First Temple 577 00:32:14,300 --> 00:32:18,335 to house the Ark of the Covenant. 578 00:32:18,370 --> 00:32:20,470 Christians honor the site 579 00:32:20,506 --> 00:32:25,008 as the location of some of Jesus's most sacred teachings. 580 00:32:25,044 --> 00:32:28,011 And for Muslims, Temple Mount... 581 00:32:28,047 --> 00:32:31,014 Which they refer to as "the Noble Sanctuary," 582 00:32:31,050 --> 00:32:32,916 or "Haram al-Sharif"... 583 00:32:32,952 --> 00:32:35,352 Is believed to be the location 584 00:32:35,387 --> 00:32:37,988 where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to Heaven 585 00:32:38,023 --> 00:32:41,525 on the back of a winged horse. 586 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,461 The three monotheistic faiths... 587 00:32:44,496 --> 00:32:47,998 Judaism, Christianity and Islam... 588 00:32:48,033 --> 00:32:52,602 All believe that God has a special connection to this area. 589 00:32:52,638 --> 00:32:55,205 They all believe that this is where people will ascend 590 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,941 to Heaven when the day of judgment comes. 591 00:32:57,977 --> 00:33:01,511 They all want it, but they don't want to share it. 592 00:33:01,547 --> 00:33:03,146 (shouting) 593 00:33:03,182 --> 00:33:08,585 FANTHORPE: Temple Mount has been a holy place 594 00:33:08,620 --> 00:33:12,389 for many, many generations. 595 00:33:12,424 --> 00:33:15,359 And there are strange religious traditions, 596 00:33:15,394 --> 00:33:19,997 rumors, legends of what lies underneath it. 597 00:33:20,032 --> 00:33:23,900 And the idea is, there is something so precious 598 00:33:23,936 --> 00:33:28,972 underneath it that God himself intervenes to protect it. 599 00:33:32,211 --> 00:33:34,878 NARRATOR: Could there really be some powerful force 600 00:33:34,913 --> 00:33:37,814 contained within Temple Mount? 601 00:33:37,850 --> 00:33:41,051 Is that why three religions are at such odds 602 00:33:41,086 --> 00:33:45,055 over this sacred site? 603 00:33:45,090 --> 00:33:48,859 Some researchers and religious scholars suggest 604 00:33:48,894 --> 00:33:51,695 that Temple Mount may not only serve 605 00:33:51,730 --> 00:33:53,997 as a place of spiritual connection, 606 00:33:54,033 --> 00:34:00,337 but also as a gateway to other points in the universe. 607 00:34:00,372 --> 00:34:02,873 The Temple Mount has long been considered 608 00:34:02,908 --> 00:34:06,443 to be a portal to Heaven. 609 00:34:06,478 --> 00:34:10,080 It is said that when the patriarch Jacob rested 610 00:34:10,115 --> 00:34:13,550 one night, he placed stones on the ground. 611 00:34:13,585 --> 00:34:16,686 And there, he saw a ladder ascending to Heaven, 612 00:34:16,722 --> 00:34:20,590 where the angels were going up and coming down. 613 00:34:20,626 --> 00:34:26,463 This was always known to have been a vortex, a portal. 614 00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:33,403 NARRATOR: A ladder descending from Heaven? 615 00:34:33,439 --> 00:34:38,108 A visitation site for otherworldly beings? 616 00:34:38,143 --> 00:34:42,546 Could it really be that the significance of Temple Mount 617 00:34:42,581 --> 00:34:48,418 is not what's under it but the location itself? 618 00:34:48,454 --> 00:34:49,886 WILCOCK: It could very well be 619 00:34:49,922 --> 00:34:52,856 that there was a natural area on the Earth 620 00:34:52,891 --> 00:34:56,626 that the Temple Mount was deliberately built around 621 00:34:56,662 --> 00:35:00,730 and that natural physics that we don't yet understand 622 00:35:00,766 --> 00:35:05,635 in conventional science allow for there to be a slipstream 623 00:35:05,671 --> 00:35:08,839 between realities, a gateway, a parting of the veil 624 00:35:08,874 --> 00:35:13,343 between this world and other parallel universes. 625 00:35:13,378 --> 00:35:15,946 POPE: There have been a number of UFO sightings 626 00:35:15,981 --> 00:35:17,714 around the Temple Mount. 627 00:35:17,749 --> 00:35:20,350 MAN: Whoa! 628 00:35:20,385 --> 00:35:24,254 Is the site important not just to human religions 629 00:35:24,289 --> 00:35:26,890 but does it have some special significance 630 00:35:26,925 --> 00:35:28,658 for extraterrestrials? 631 00:35:28,694 --> 00:35:30,994 Is that why this site is so untouchable? 632 00:35:31,029 --> 00:35:34,231 (bystanders gasping) 633 00:35:34,266 --> 00:35:39,269 NARRATOR: Do sacred sites like Temple Mount in Jerusalem 634 00:35:39,304 --> 00:35:42,939 not only hold secrets about mankind's origins 635 00:35:42,975 --> 00:35:45,742 but possibly even serve as portals 636 00:35:45,777 --> 00:35:48,078 to other parts of the universe? 637 00:35:48,113 --> 00:35:53,316 And, if so, might the turmoil in various forbidden zones 638 00:35:53,352 --> 00:35:56,253 be due in part to extraterrestrials 639 00:35:56,288 --> 00:36:00,557 that want to keep humanity from discovering the truth? 640 00:36:00,592 --> 00:36:03,627 Perhaps the answers can be found 641 00:36:03,662 --> 00:36:06,730 by reexamining what some claim 642 00:36:06,765 --> 00:36:10,867 is the motivation behind the Western invasion of Iraq. 643 00:36:14,907 --> 00:36:16,840 NARRATOR: Iraq. 644 00:36:16,875 --> 00:36:20,610 March 19, 2003. 645 00:36:20,646 --> 00:36:23,313 The United States military 646 00:36:23,348 --> 00:36:25,515 begins its Shock and Awe air campaign 647 00:36:25,551 --> 00:36:29,186 over the city of Baghdad. 648 00:36:29,221 --> 00:36:31,488 It is a preemptive strike aimed 649 00:36:31,523 --> 00:36:35,158 to overthrow Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, 650 00:36:35,194 --> 00:36:37,160 who the government believes 651 00:36:37,196 --> 00:36:40,330 is in possession of weapons of mass destruction. 652 00:36:45,037 --> 00:36:47,571 POPE: Saddam Hussein wanted to make Iraq 653 00:36:47,606 --> 00:36:50,540 a regional and perhaps a global superpower. 654 00:36:50,576 --> 00:36:54,744 He spoke about himself as the new Nebuchadnezzar. 655 00:36:54,780 --> 00:36:57,714 NARRATOR: Nebuchadnezzar II 656 00:36:57,749 --> 00:37:00,984 was the great Babylonian warrior king, 657 00:37:01,019 --> 00:37:04,154 most famously known for rebuilding and expanding 658 00:37:04,189 --> 00:37:08,692 the Babylonian Empire in the sixth century BC. 659 00:37:08,727 --> 00:37:12,128 His armies conquered Egypt 660 00:37:12,164 --> 00:37:14,598 as well as ransacking and destroying. 661 00:37:14,633 --> 00:37:18,802 Solomon's Temple in 597 BC. 662 00:37:18,837 --> 00:37:22,305 MARTIN: Saddam Hussein went nuts. 663 00:37:22,341 --> 00:37:26,343 He believed he was the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar, 664 00:37:26,378 --> 00:37:29,346 so he ordered massive reconstruction of Babylon, 665 00:37:29,381 --> 00:37:34,584 which was done with bricks bearing his name on them. 666 00:37:37,823 --> 00:37:40,790 Everyone would come to respect the ancient Nebuchadnezzar 667 00:37:40,826 --> 00:37:44,160 and the new Nebuchadnezzar. 668 00:37:46,398 --> 00:37:50,834 HENRY: The missing piece to the puzzle of why we went to war 669 00:37:50,869 --> 00:37:53,436 with Iraq is the understanding 670 00:37:53,472 --> 00:37:56,439 that Saddam Hussein sought to outdo 671 00:37:56,475 --> 00:37:58,108 what Nebuchadnezzar had accomplished 672 00:37:58,143 --> 00:38:00,143 in his earlier life. 673 00:38:00,178 --> 00:38:03,146 The ultimate accomplishment of Nebuchadnezzar 674 00:38:03,181 --> 00:38:06,349 was the opening of the fiery furnace. 675 00:38:06,385 --> 00:38:10,520 Nebuchadnezzar had gone to Jerusalem, 676 00:38:10,555 --> 00:38:15,025 looted and leveled the Temple of Solomon, 677 00:38:15,060 --> 00:38:17,894 and he brought the wise men of the temple 678 00:38:17,929 --> 00:38:21,031 back to Babylon with him. 679 00:38:21,066 --> 00:38:24,801 What happened in the story is absolutely amazing. 680 00:38:26,772 --> 00:38:31,741 These three wise men enter this fiery furnace. 681 00:38:31,777 --> 00:38:35,111 Not only did they come back out in perfect condition... 682 00:38:35,147 --> 00:38:37,714 They weren't alone. 683 00:38:37,749 --> 00:38:42,652 They came back with an extraterrestrial visitor in tow. 684 00:38:42,688 --> 00:38:46,389 In today's terms, we would obviously call this 685 00:38:46,425 --> 00:38:49,959 a stargate or a portal. 686 00:38:49,995 --> 00:38:54,164 Saddam knew this. 687 00:38:54,199 --> 00:38:57,167 Saddam Hussein's esoteric interests 688 00:38:57,202 --> 00:38:59,336 were probably like those of the Nazis, 689 00:38:59,371 --> 00:39:02,772 aimed at uncovering some power, 690 00:39:02,808 --> 00:39:06,443 some technology, some relic that would enable him 691 00:39:06,478 --> 00:39:11,314 to become this world leader that he dreamed of being. 692 00:39:11,350 --> 00:39:14,484 There's one theory that the Iraq War 693 00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:17,821 was actually a war about a stargate. 694 00:39:17,856 --> 00:39:21,224 Saddam Hussein, so the theory goes, 695 00:39:21,259 --> 00:39:23,326 got access to this stargate, 696 00:39:23,362 --> 00:39:25,762 maybe threatened to use it. 697 00:39:25,797 --> 00:39:29,833 Was that why the allied powers went in? 698 00:39:29,868 --> 00:39:33,937 It sounds farfetched, but this theory is widely believed. 699 00:39:36,375 --> 00:39:38,942 NARRATOR: Is it possible the United States military 700 00:39:38,977 --> 00:39:42,145 was pursuing more than weapons of mass destruction 701 00:39:42,180 --> 00:39:44,781 when they invaded Iraq? 702 00:39:44,816 --> 00:39:47,517 Could something of great significance, 703 00:39:47,552 --> 00:39:49,686 perhaps a portal to another world, 704 00:39:49,721 --> 00:39:53,456 have been found amongst the chaos? 705 00:39:53,492 --> 00:39:55,558 And if there are truths 706 00:39:55,594 --> 00:39:58,428 about extraterrestrial involvement with our planet 707 00:39:58,463 --> 00:40:00,930 hidden in forbidden zones, 708 00:40:00,966 --> 00:40:05,869 just what would happen when the truth is finally revealed? 709 00:40:07,973 --> 00:40:10,373 WILCOCK: With the knowledge that's coming into view now 710 00:40:10,409 --> 00:40:14,511 as we're reconstructing bit by bit, piece by piece 711 00:40:14,546 --> 00:40:16,880 this tile mosaic of ancient history, 712 00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:20,884 we're gaining the ability to reconstruct the view 713 00:40:20,919 --> 00:40:24,421 of what really happened to us and what it means to be human 714 00:40:24,456 --> 00:40:28,425 and our relationship to the greater cosmos that's around us. 715 00:40:30,929 --> 00:40:33,730 NOORY: If you believe in the extraterrestrial presence, 716 00:40:33,765 --> 00:40:36,299 it was always to kind of keep us down 717 00:40:36,334 --> 00:40:39,202 so that we wouldn't get that much knowledge. 718 00:40:39,237 --> 00:40:44,040 They want to keep us ignorant and fighting and greedy. 719 00:40:44,075 --> 00:40:46,276 It's very possible that we will never know 720 00:40:46,311 --> 00:40:49,479 what happened on this planet a long time ago. 721 00:40:49,514 --> 00:40:51,181 TSOUKALOS: It's our own test, 722 00:40:51,216 --> 00:40:54,851 and the reason why no official contact has taken place yet 723 00:40:54,886 --> 00:40:57,921 is because we ourselves are on the verge 724 00:40:57,956 --> 00:41:01,257 of destroying this planet. 725 00:41:01,293 --> 00:41:02,859 So my suggestion is 726 00:41:02,894 --> 00:41:04,939 we first have to learn how to interact with each other 727 00:41:04,963 --> 00:41:09,966 before being allowed to receive this knowledge. 728 00:41:14,973 --> 00:41:17,340 NARRATOR: Is it possible that the perpetual violence 729 00:41:17,375 --> 00:41:20,677 experienced in certain parts of the world 730 00:41:20,712 --> 00:41:23,246 is more than just a consequence of political 731 00:41:23,281 --> 00:41:24,914 and religious conflict? 732 00:41:24,950 --> 00:41:28,885 Could it be that it is actually spurred on 733 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,988 by extraterrestrial forces, 734 00:41:32,023 --> 00:41:36,392 forces that are trying to hide the truth 735 00:41:36,428 --> 00:41:39,128 about mankind's origins? 736 00:41:39,164 --> 00:41:42,465 Perhaps once we have proven 737 00:41:42,501 --> 00:41:46,102 that we can conquer our aggression and anger, 738 00:41:46,137 --> 00:41:49,105 we will be able to access this knowledge 739 00:41:49,140 --> 00:41:53,776 and join our creators in the stars. 739 00:41:54,305 --> 00:42:00,483 -= www.OpenSubtitles.org =- 57863
