Mirrabooka 223 00:11:22,783 --> 00:11:24,718 that Baiame came from. 224 00:11:24,752 --> 00:11:26,086 TSOUKALOS: Mm-hmm. 225 00:11:26,119 --> 00:11:27,855 And this is the canoe. 226 00:11:29,857 --> 00:11:34,094 He sailed through the river of life, um, in the Mirrabooka 227 00:11:34,127 --> 00:11:35,796 across the sky world. 228 00:11:35,829 --> 00:11:37,164 TSOUKALOS: So, he sailed through the Milky Way? 229 00:11:37,197 --> 00:11:40,367 DUNCAN: Yes, he sailed through the Milky Way... 230 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,203 and this was his vessel that he sailed, 231 00:11:43,236 --> 00:11:46,940 and he landed, to the earth... 232 00:11:46,974 --> 00:11:48,441 and he crushed the top of the mountain, 233 00:11:48,475 --> 00:11:50,911 which is the sacred mountain of Mount Yengo 234 00:11:50,944 --> 00:11:52,379 not far from here. 235 00:11:54,882 --> 00:11:58,518 And when he landed they said the fire came from his feet 236 00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,253 and it burnt the mount-- top of the mountain, 237 00:12:00,287 --> 00:12:02,455 and all around it every time he landed. 238 00:12:02,489 --> 00:12:04,191 So, the landings were always associated 239 00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:05,993 with a lot of noise, smoke 240 00:12:06,026 --> 00:12:06,927 -and fire? -Yes. 241 00:12:08,829 --> 00:12:12,099 The fire trail that was left when Baiame was leaving 242 00:12:12,132 --> 00:12:14,101 the top of the mountain into the sky world, 243 00:12:14,134 --> 00:12:17,070 when Baiame had left, was so bright, 244 00:12:17,104 --> 00:12:20,273 people interpret that as a spaceship of some kind... 245 00:12:20,307 --> 00:12:21,541 TSOUKALOS: Yeah. 246 00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,310 DUNCAN: ...as coming and going, 247 00:12:23,343 --> 00:12:26,947 but this is the way we simply interpret 248 00:12:26,980 --> 00:12:28,181 Baiame's spaceship. 249 00:12:28,215 --> 00:12:30,217 Right, but it's because the vocabulary 250 00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:31,985 didn't exist at the time. 251 00:12:32,019 --> 00:12:34,187 -Yes. -So, to me, those are all 252 00:12:34,221 --> 00:12:38,792 wonderfully poetic ways to describe eyewitness accounts 253 00:12:38,826 --> 00:12:41,829 of things that were incredible. 254 00:12:41,862 --> 00:12:42,996 DUNCAN: Yes. 255 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:44,197 This site is considered 256 00:12:44,231 --> 00:12:46,900 around 8,000 to 10,000 years old. 257 00:12:46,934 --> 00:12:48,235 Wow. 258 00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:50,270 DUNCAN: These carvings, 259 00:12:50,303 --> 00:12:53,040 these rock paintings, these are our books. 260 00:12:53,073 --> 00:12:55,943 They are considered to be, 261 00:12:55,976 --> 00:12:58,011 basically, as truth. 262 00:13:02,015 --> 00:13:05,118 NARRATOR: While many in the Western world 263 00:13:05,152 --> 00:13:07,955 regard indigenous tales as folklore, 264 00:13:07,988 --> 00:13:10,457 it has recently been found that at least some 265 00:13:10,490 --> 00:13:14,361 of their stories are historically accurate. 266 00:13:14,394 --> 00:13:18,231 In September 2015, 267 00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:20,467 scientists studying Aboriginal lore 268 00:13:20,500 --> 00:13:23,871 of past sea level rise found corroboration 269 00:13:23,904 --> 00:13:26,339 in the geological record. 270 00:13:26,373 --> 00:13:30,477 Incredibly, the information was faithfully preserved 271 00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:33,280 even though these events occurred somewhere 272 00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:37,384 between 7,000 to 18,000 years ago. 273 00:13:37,417 --> 00:13:42,589 Similar findings noting the accuracy of indigenous myths 274 00:13:42,622 --> 00:13:45,859 have been published since the 1980s, 275 00:13:45,893 --> 00:13:48,195 including knowledge of tsunamis, 276 00:13:48,228 --> 00:13:50,964 earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, 277 00:13:50,998 --> 00:13:56,103 meteorite impacts, and solar eclipses in the remote past. 278 00:13:56,136 --> 00:13:59,907 Australia has been a fascinating area where many different people 279 00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:01,308 working on different aspects 280 00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:06,013 such as sea level rises, meteorite craters, 281 00:14:06,046 --> 00:14:09,649 extinct animals, have found that 282 00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:12,285 Australian lore, their folklore, 283 00:14:12,319 --> 00:14:16,356 actually seems to remember, and encode, and be able to discuss 284 00:14:16,389 --> 00:14:20,994 events thousands of years old. 285 00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:25,632 In some cases, 7,000, 10,000 years old. 286 00:14:25,665 --> 00:14:28,435 We just don't really see that sort of thing 287 00:14:28,468 --> 00:14:30,537 very often in the world, 288 00:14:30,570 --> 00:14:33,173 in terms of, uh, this incredible long, uh, 289 00:14:33,206 --> 00:14:34,908 accumulation of knowledge. 290 00:14:37,344 --> 00:14:40,413 WILLIAM HENRY: Their stories of events that happened 291 00:14:40,447 --> 00:14:45,052 12,000 years ago, maybe older, have now been verified 292 00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:47,020 by the geological record. 293 00:14:47,054 --> 00:14:49,022 This is extremely important 294 00:14:49,056 --> 00:14:52,960 because if they're telling the truth about geological events, 295 00:14:52,993 --> 00:14:55,428 can we then take at face value 296 00:14:55,462 --> 00:14:58,932 their stories or their 297 00:14:58,966 --> 00:15:02,102 recollections of extraterrestrial beings, 298 00:15:02,135 --> 00:15:04,972 spirit beings, sky beings, coming to Earth 299 00:15:05,005 --> 00:15:07,140 and intervening in human affairs? 300 00:15:07,174 --> 00:15:08,508 I believe that we can. 301 00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:12,479 NARRATOR: Might the Aboriginal stories 302 00:15:12,512 --> 00:15:18,118 of sky beings not be myth but actual historical fact? 303 00:15:18,151 --> 00:15:23,556 Could their creator gods have been extraterrestrial visitors? 304 00:15:25,225 --> 00:15:26,426 Perhaps further clues can be 305 00:15:26,459 --> 00:15:28,528 found by examining evidence 306 00:15:28,561 --> 00:15:32,199 of an ancient pilgrimage to Australia 307 00:15:32,232 --> 00:15:41,975 made by the Egyptians. 308 00:15:42,009 --> 00:15:44,144 NARRATOR: Central Coast, 309 00:15:44,177 --> 00:15:46,980 New South Wales, Australia. 310 00:15:48,248 --> 00:15:51,118 Deep in the Brisbane Water National Park 311 00:15:51,151 --> 00:15:54,988 is a mysterious site known as the Gosford Glyphs. 312 00:15:56,456 --> 00:16:00,627 The site consists of two massive, eight-foot-high walls 313 00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:04,197 engraved with over 300 ancient carvings, 314 00:16:04,231 --> 00:16:10,003 carvings that experts say do not resemble indigenous artwork, 315 00:16:10,037 --> 00:16:12,105 but Egyptian hieroglyphs. 316 00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:20,247 After deciphering the texts, 317 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,652 21st century Egyptologist Ray Johnson believed them to reveal 318 00:16:25,685 --> 00:16:28,388 the burial site of Lord Nefer-ti-ru, 319 00:16:28,421 --> 00:16:30,523 a member of the Egyptian royal family 320 00:16:30,557 --> 00:16:32,525 who died while visiting the area 321 00:16:32,559 --> 00:16:36,263 with his brother sometime between 2637 322 00:16:36,296 --> 00:16:39,299 and 2614 BC. 323 00:16:44,537 --> 00:16:46,406 Absolutely beautiful out here. 324 00:16:46,439 --> 00:16:48,241 Oh, I know. 325 00:16:48,275 --> 00:16:53,480 NARRATOR: While visiting the area in 2016, Giorgio Tsoukalos 326 00:16:53,513 --> 00:16:57,550 met with local ancient astronaut theorist Evan Strong 327 00:16:57,584 --> 00:17:01,154 to get a firsthand look at these enigmatic carvings. 328 00:17:01,188 --> 00:17:02,489 -And here we are. -Wow. 329 00:17:04,391 --> 00:17:06,393 That's incredible. 330 00:17:08,295 --> 00:17:09,562 I had no idea, I mean, 331 00:17:09,596 --> 00:17:12,665 this looks totally different than on pictures. 332 00:17:14,367 --> 00:17:15,435 So, what do these 333 00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:17,270 -hieroglyphs say? -Well... 334 00:17:17,304 --> 00:17:20,307 at least one panel talks about two brothers, 335 00:17:20,340 --> 00:17:22,575 two princes, coming here from Egypt. 336 00:17:22,609 --> 00:17:24,311 They were shipwrecked. 337 00:17:24,344 --> 00:17:26,346 One of them ended up getting bitten by a snake. 338 00:17:26,379 --> 00:17:27,447 He then died. 339 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,448 The theory is, then, 340 00:17:28,481 --> 00:17:29,449 he was interred here, 341 00:17:29,482 --> 00:17:30,750 and that's why 342 00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:32,452 -you've got hieroglyphs here... -Mm-hmm. 343 00:17:32,485 --> 00:17:33,586 ...because he died here... 344 00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:36,189 but there's these other walls 345 00:17:36,223 --> 00:17:37,690 with a mixture of symbols. 346 00:17:37,724 --> 00:17:39,826 This one over here, it's-it's more 347 00:17:39,859 --> 00:17:43,696 of a philosophical astrophysics style thing 348 00:17:43,730 --> 00:17:47,600 with symbols meaning all sorts of esoteric stuff, so... 349 00:17:47,634 --> 00:17:50,537 Now, h-have these symbols at all been interpreted 350 00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:52,605 by Egyptologists? 351 00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:54,341 There have been a-a few, actually. 352 00:17:54,374 --> 00:17:55,742 Mm-hmm. 353 00:17:55,775 --> 00:17:57,477 Um, a few different, um, people have done that. 354 00:17:57,510 --> 00:17:59,112 And what was their reaction? 355 00:17:59,146 --> 00:18:00,613 Well, Raymond Johnson was one of the first people 356 00:18:00,647 --> 00:18:02,549 to come here and-and translate. 357 00:18:02,582 --> 00:18:06,453 He actually sent some of his translations off 358 00:18:06,486 --> 00:18:11,224 to the Cairo Library, and Dr. Abou Dia' Ghazi 359 00:18:11,258 --> 00:18:14,227 ended up saying, "Yep, you're on the right track." 360 00:18:14,261 --> 00:18:15,595 It's something called proto-Egyptian. 361 00:18:15,628 --> 00:18:17,730 And how old do you reckon these are? 362 00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:21,268 We're thinking because of the prevalence, at least in one, 363 00:18:21,301 --> 00:18:25,605 uh, panel of proto-Egyptian, that it's about 4,600 years old. 364 00:18:25,638 --> 00:18:26,673 TSOUKALOS: Wow. 365 00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:28,208 Are there any hieroglyphs 366 00:18:28,241 --> 00:18:29,709 that stand out to you? 367 00:18:29,742 --> 00:18:30,710 Yeah, definitely. 368 00:18:30,743 --> 00:18:32,212 Follow me down here 369 00:18:32,245 --> 00:18:34,247 and I'll show you this other one. 370 00:18:36,383 --> 00:18:38,718 So, this one here, um, we call the UFO glyph 371 00:18:38,751 --> 00:18:41,221 and people have called it that since they've been coming here 372 00:18:41,254 --> 00:18:42,255 because it kind of 373 00:18:42,289 --> 00:18:43,656 looks like a UFO. 374 00:18:43,690 --> 00:18:45,925 TSOUKALOS: It definitely has the classic UFO shape. 375 00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:48,161 It's-it's got the... the rays 376 00:18:48,195 --> 00:18:51,164 or whatever you want to call it. 377 00:18:51,198 --> 00:18:52,932 What would you suggest if anyone says, well, 378 00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:55,468 this is not a UFO, it's-it's some other symbol 379 00:18:55,502 --> 00:18:57,170 that-- but certainly not that? 380 00:18:57,204 --> 00:18:59,272 I think that someone suggested that it's jewelry 381 00:18:59,306 --> 00:19:02,275 but it's a completely different symbol that's upside down 382 00:19:02,309 --> 00:19:03,643 and it really doesn't quite fit in. 383 00:19:03,676 --> 00:19:05,212 It's one of those symbols here 384 00:19:05,245 --> 00:19:08,348 that-that doesn't fit into the canon. 385 00:19:08,381 --> 00:19:09,349 In your opinion, 386 00:19:09,382 --> 00:19:10,683 why do you think the Egyptians 387 00:19:10,717 --> 00:19:12,385 made it all the way to Australia? 388 00:19:12,419 --> 00:19:16,356 I think they were looking for esoteric wisdom, definitely. 389 00:19:16,389 --> 00:19:17,890 -From the Aboriginals? -Yes. 390 00:19:23,696 --> 00:19:26,566 DUNCAN: The ancient Egyptians, we have stories, 391 00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:27,967 and Aboriginal stories, 392 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,437 about their arrival, and about their visits 393 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:33,206 long before Europeans had arrived here. 394 00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:35,708 Naturally, 395 00:19:35,742 --> 00:19:37,410 we would have shared ceremony 396 00:19:37,444 --> 00:19:39,312 with these people because they 397 00:19:39,346 --> 00:19:40,813 have the same similar beliefs 398 00:19:40,847 --> 00:19:42,715 as our people. 399 00:19:42,749 --> 00:19:46,753 Egyptians have that same spiritual connection 400 00:19:46,786 --> 00:19:49,589 to the sky world. 401 00:19:50,723 --> 00:19:51,724 Many stories 402 00:19:51,758 --> 00:19:53,460 from all over this continent, 403 00:19:53,493 --> 00:19:56,296 not just from here, but all over this continent, 404 00:19:56,329 --> 00:20:00,300 talk about those who came by the sea 405 00:20:00,333 --> 00:20:03,002 and came to these continents, and some of our knowledge 406 00:20:03,035 --> 00:20:05,772 and wisdom and technology went back with them, 407 00:20:05,805 --> 00:20:07,274 and if you do some of the research, 408 00:20:07,307 --> 00:20:08,741 in the last pyramids that they found, 409 00:20:08,775 --> 00:20:11,478 they found boomerangs 410 00:20:11,511 --> 00:20:14,781 made from iron bark from here, 411 00:20:14,814 --> 00:20:17,484 and they have hieroglyphs of black fellows 412 00:20:17,517 --> 00:20:22,255 throwing the boomerangs to take out the ducks and the geese. 413 00:20:22,289 --> 00:20:25,392 Now the question would be, why would they paint us 414 00:20:25,425 --> 00:20:28,795 and carve us on their walls if they didn't come here? 415 00:20:28,828 --> 00:20:31,298 And if that meeting and relationship 416 00:20:31,331 --> 00:20:34,767 was not significant, they wouldn't have carved it. 417 00:20:34,801 --> 00:20:38,271 It must've been significant in order to carve. 418 00:20:39,439 --> 00:20:40,807 NARRATOR: Aboriginal artifacts 419 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:42,609 found in Egypt? 420 00:20:42,642 --> 00:20:46,346 Hieroglyphs found in Australia? 421 00:20:47,414 --> 00:20:48,781 Might the continent have 422 00:20:48,815 --> 00:20:52,385 actually served as a pilgrimage site for visitors 423 00:20:52,419 --> 00:20:55,655 seeking a direct connection to the so-called gods? 424 00:20:55,688 --> 00:20:59,559 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 425 00:20:59,592 --> 00:21:04,331 and suggest further evidence of this otherworldly link 426 00:21:04,364 --> 00:21:08,901 can be found in a megalithic structure lost to time. 427 00:21:17,444 --> 00:21:18,645 NARRATOR: Mullumbimby, 428 00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:23,550 New South Wales, 1939. 429 00:21:23,583 --> 00:21:25,385 Frederic Slater, 430 00:21:25,418 --> 00:21:29,622 the president of the Australian Archaeology Society, 431 00:21:29,656 --> 00:21:31,724 was dispatched to investigate 432 00:21:31,758 --> 00:21:35,027 the discovery of a complex Aboriginal arrangement 433 00:21:35,061 --> 00:21:39,766 consisting of 188 standing stones. 434 00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:42,435 Slater dubbed the formation 435 00:21:42,469 --> 00:21:44,771 the "Stonehenge of Australia" 436 00:21:44,804 --> 00:21:46,739 and became convinced that it 437 00:21:46,773 --> 00:21:50,343 was one of the oldest temple complexes in the world, 438 00:21:50,377 --> 00:21:53,880 predating those found in Europe and the Middle East. 439 00:21:56,416 --> 00:21:59,419 Frederic Slater found that the site he was investigating 440 00:21:59,452 --> 00:22:02,755 was part of a larger, much larger site, 441 00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:06,559 and fitted in very closely 442 00:22:06,593 --> 00:22:09,462 with Aboriginal sacred law, myths and legends. 443 00:22:09,496 --> 00:22:13,700 After a time, Frederic Slater began to posit 444 00:22:13,733 --> 00:22:18,137 and suggest that instead of out of Africa, 445 00:22:18,170 --> 00:22:20,440 that maybe we should reexamine 446 00:22:20,473 --> 00:22:23,610 the evolution of man as out of Australia. 447 00:22:23,643 --> 00:22:25,978 He took a massive leap 448 00:22:26,012 --> 00:22:29,115 and started declaring that in ancient times in Australia, 449 00:22:29,148 --> 00:22:31,551 the Aborigines were more advanced 450 00:22:31,584 --> 00:22:35,154 than any culture that he could recount on the planet. 451 00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:37,890 He was declared almost insane 452 00:22:37,924 --> 00:22:40,560 by the rest of the academic community. 453 00:22:40,593 --> 00:22:44,130 The landowners were so terrified of the controversy 454 00:22:44,163 --> 00:22:45,698 that it implied that it was 455 00:22:45,732 --> 00:22:49,502 pretty much destroyed by bulldozers. 456 00:22:52,572 --> 00:22:55,475 CHILDRESS: There are many stone circles, uh, 457 00:22:55,508 --> 00:22:58,478 throughout the British Isles and Europe. 458 00:22:58,511 --> 00:23:01,848 Stonehenge is one of the most well known. 459 00:23:01,881 --> 00:23:04,684 And they all have some relationship 460 00:23:04,717 --> 00:23:06,886 to astronomical observatories. 461 00:23:08,187 --> 00:23:10,923 This Aboriginal Stonehenge 462 00:23:10,957 --> 00:23:15,528 would really alter the way we think of the Aboriginals 463 00:23:15,562 --> 00:23:18,831 and the sophistication of their society. 464 00:23:18,865 --> 00:23:23,503 Where they had astronomical and archaeoastronomical 465 00:23:23,536 --> 00:23:27,039 structures that helped them monitor the heavens, 466 00:23:27,073 --> 00:23:31,444 much as standing stones in Europe would have done. 467 00:23:31,478 --> 00:23:34,847 DUNCAN: For our people, it went beyond the paintings 468 00:23:34,881 --> 00:23:37,884 and the carvings into stone arrangements. 469 00:23:37,917 --> 00:23:40,553 We would arrange in certain patterns, 470 00:23:40,587 --> 00:23:43,222 which relate to the constellation of the stars, 471 00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:47,827 in regards to our connectedness with the sky world 472 00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:49,996 and where we originate from. 473 00:23:50,029 --> 00:23:51,931 NARRATOR: Could the so-called 474 00:23:51,964 --> 00:23:54,934 Aboriginal Stonehenge provide us insight 475 00:23:54,967 --> 00:23:57,069 into the other stone arrangements 476 00:23:57,103 --> 00:23:59,972 found scattered throughout the world? 477 00:24:00,006 --> 00:24:04,210 If so, might they serve to provide a permanent record 478 00:24:04,243 --> 00:24:09,081 of a significant connection to another world? 479 00:24:12,685 --> 00:24:16,055 Uluru Rock, also known as Ayers Rock, 480 00:24:16,088 --> 00:24:19,892 is located nearly in the center of the continent, 481 00:24:19,926 --> 00:24:22,194 over 1,200 miles 482 00:24:22,228 --> 00:24:24,797 from the nearest major Australian city. 483 00:24:24,831 --> 00:24:27,500 This geological anomaly 484 00:24:27,534 --> 00:24:30,903 is one of the largest isolated rocks in the world. 485 00:24:30,937 --> 00:24:34,574 It is over two miles long 486 00:24:34,607 --> 00:24:39,278 and rises over 1,100 feet. 487 00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:40,880 It is, in fact, 488 00:24:40,913 --> 00:24:44,584 the exposed tip of a huge vertical slab of rock 489 00:24:44,617 --> 00:24:46,786 that continues below the surface 490 00:24:46,819 --> 00:24:48,921 for three miles. 491 00:24:52,024 --> 00:24:56,295 It is a huge sedimentary boulder 492 00:24:56,328 --> 00:24:58,064 that's gigantic, 493 00:24:58,097 --> 00:24:59,732 sitting there in the middle of the desert. 494 00:24:59,766 --> 00:25:03,736 And geologists cannot really explain 495 00:25:03,770 --> 00:25:07,106 how Ayers Rock came to be. 496 00:25:07,139 --> 00:25:11,844 It's almost as if it was lifted up 497 00:25:11,878 --> 00:25:13,245 from somewhere else 498 00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:16,983 and brought to the center of the continent 499 00:25:17,016 --> 00:25:19,185 and then just dumped there. 500 00:25:19,218 --> 00:25:23,590 NARRATOR: For the indigenous population, 501 00:25:23,623 --> 00:25:26,926 Uluru is one of their most sacred sites 502 00:25:26,959 --> 00:25:29,729 and a place of pilgrimage. 503 00:25:29,762 --> 00:25:32,699 They consider it the navel of the earth. 504 00:25:32,732 --> 00:25:35,735 THOMPSON: For the Aboriginal cosmologies, 505 00:25:35,768 --> 00:25:37,637 a lot of times the landscape itself 506 00:25:37,670 --> 00:25:40,306 is sort of like the Bible and Heaven, rolled into one. 507 00:25:40,339 --> 00:25:44,276 So, in places like Uluru, Ayers Rock, 508 00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:46,713 this rock is of great significance 509 00:25:46,746 --> 00:25:49,081 because they built this into their cultural memories 510 00:25:49,115 --> 00:25:55,154 of when the world was formed by sky spirits coming to Earth. 511 00:25:58,658 --> 00:26:01,193 NARRATOR: The creation stories at Uluru Rock 512 00:26:01,227 --> 00:26:04,897 are primarily associated with the rainbow serpent. 513 00:26:04,931 --> 00:26:07,867 This divine being is said to have come out of the sky 514 00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:10,236 at the beginning of time, 515 00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:13,673 and held in its belly all of creation, 516 00:26:13,706 --> 00:26:16,575 including the first human beings. 517 00:26:17,977 --> 00:26:20,713 DUNCAN: The Rainbow Serpent, we call Gria. 518 00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:22,982 And the Rainbow Serpent is related 519 00:26:23,015 --> 00:26:26,218 to all Aboriginal nations right across Australia. 520 00:26:26,252 --> 00:26:29,956 And it connects us all as Aboriginal people, 521 00:26:29,989 --> 00:26:32,659 because it was regarded 522 00:26:32,692 --> 00:26:36,996 as a very sacred symbol of creation. 523 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:38,765 STRONG: An elder we're in good contact with 524 00:26:38,798 --> 00:26:40,066 told us a story about Uluru, 525 00:26:40,099 --> 00:26:41,834 which is quite fascinating. 526 00:26:41,868 --> 00:26:44,103 That we were actually seeded from the spear 527 00:26:44,136 --> 00:26:46,272 from the Pleiades through space. 528 00:26:49,742 --> 00:26:52,344 And it actually hit the ground, 529 00:26:52,378 --> 00:26:56,248 and where that place was is Uluru. 530 00:26:56,282 --> 00:27:00,787 So Uluru and its creation story with the rainbow serpent 531 00:27:00,820 --> 00:27:02,989 could perhaps even be indicative 532 00:27:03,022 --> 00:27:04,824 of an ancient astronaut 533 00:27:04,857 --> 00:27:08,194 kind of seeding moment in-in our history. 534 00:27:10,029 --> 00:27:13,232 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists have long proposed 535 00:27:13,265 --> 00:27:18,004 that Earth was seeded by alien visitors in the remote past. 536 00:27:18,037 --> 00:27:20,707 Might this be true? 537 00:27:20,740 --> 00:27:23,710 And if so, do the Aboriginal stories 538 00:27:23,743 --> 00:27:25,377 reflect this truth? 539 00:27:25,411 --> 00:27:28,715 When the first Europeans arrived here, 540 00:27:28,748 --> 00:27:31,017 Captain Phillip, who was an English sailor, 541 00:27:31,050 --> 00:27:35,755 planted the Union Jack in Sydney, 542 00:27:35,788 --> 00:27:37,957 and he asked Aboriginal people 543 00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:42,762 around that time, he said, "Where do you people come from?" 544 00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:46,999 And our people would always just point to the sky. 545 00:27:47,033 --> 00:27:50,002 He couldn't believe that such people, 546 00:27:50,036 --> 00:27:52,138 who were grounded by Mother Earth, 547 00:27:52,171 --> 00:27:54,673 say that they come from the sky world. 548 00:27:57,744 --> 00:28:00,146 NARRATOR: Might humanity actually have been seeded 549 00:28:00,179 --> 00:28:02,181 on Earth from another planet, 550 00:28:02,214 --> 00:28:05,284 as the Aboriginal elders claim? 551 00:28:05,317 --> 00:28:09,288 And could this truth be encoded in the Australian landscape, 552 00:28:09,321 --> 00:28:12,925 preserved for future generations? 553 00:28:12,959 --> 00:28:17,029 Researchers suggest some sacred Aboriginal sites 554 00:28:17,063 --> 00:28:21,901 continue to serve as extraterrestrial outposts. 555 00:28:28,941 --> 00:28:31,077 (wind whistling) 556 00:28:31,110 --> 00:28:32,912 NARRATOR: The Blue Mountains. 557 00:28:32,945 --> 00:28:34,446 Australia. 558 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,117 Throughout the walls of Red Hands Cave 559 00:28:38,150 --> 00:28:39,752 are the stenciled handprints 560 00:28:39,786 --> 00:28:44,156 of ancient Aboriginal men, women and children. 561 00:28:44,190 --> 00:28:47,827 The art stands as a testament 562 00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,962 to their physical time here on Earth, 563 00:28:49,996 --> 00:28:54,133 hundreds and possibly even thousands of years ago. 564 00:28:54,166 --> 00:28:57,103 According to local elders, 565 00:28:57,136 --> 00:28:59,071 the location served 566 00:28:59,105 --> 00:29:02,074 as an initiation site for young warriors. 567 00:29:02,108 --> 00:29:06,012 And it was here that the collective wisdom 568 00:29:06,045 --> 00:29:07,546 of the land and the sky 569 00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:11,750 was passed on to future generations by the sky gods. 570 00:29:14,486 --> 00:29:17,489 We leave our images on the cave walls, 571 00:29:17,523 --> 00:29:19,158 such as our handprints, 572 00:29:19,191 --> 00:29:21,360 from the time we are, uh, children. 573 00:29:21,393 --> 00:29:27,066 This would be done generation after generation. 574 00:29:27,099 --> 00:29:30,269 The Blue Mountains is a very sacred area, 575 00:29:30,302 --> 00:29:32,138 a sacred place, 576 00:29:32,171 --> 00:29:35,107 especially the highest places, 577 00:29:35,141 --> 00:29:37,576 because we were being closer to Baiame, 578 00:29:37,609 --> 00:29:40,012 closer to God. 579 00:29:44,316 --> 00:29:47,386 NARRATOR: Mount Yengo-- the original point of descent 580 00:29:47,419 --> 00:29:50,056 of the Aboriginal creator god, Baiame-- 581 00:29:50,089 --> 00:29:51,590 is located here, 582 00:29:51,623 --> 00:29:54,226 within the Blue Mountain range. 583 00:29:54,260 --> 00:29:58,998 And curiously, the area is also well-known today 584 00:29:59,031 --> 00:30:01,133 for the mysterious disappearances 585 00:30:01,167 --> 00:30:03,002 of numerous hikers... 586 00:30:03,035 --> 00:30:05,838 campers... 587 00:30:05,872 --> 00:30:09,008 and soldiers... 588 00:30:09,041 --> 00:30:13,312 in addition to countless UFO sightings. 589 00:30:16,883 --> 00:30:19,618 Australia's Blue Mountains have become internationally known 590 00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:23,055 as a hot spot for UFO sightings and other mysteries. 591 00:30:24,924 --> 00:30:28,394 There is certainly a lot of mystery in the Blue Mountains. 592 00:30:28,427 --> 00:30:31,263 Campers, bushwalkers, explorers... 593 00:30:31,297 --> 00:30:34,166 all have got tales of mystery, 594 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,335 disappearing people, 595 00:30:36,368 --> 00:30:39,038 strange tunnels, 596 00:30:39,071 --> 00:30:40,873 strange noises 597 00:30:40,907 --> 00:30:43,409 and strange creature sightings. 598 00:30:45,945 --> 00:30:50,917 The UFO sightings of the Blue Mountains 599 00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:53,920 have triggered many magazine articles, radio shows and books. 600 00:30:53,953 --> 00:30:55,888 A lot of people have come forward 601 00:30:55,922 --> 00:30:57,556 over the last few decades to document 602 00:30:57,589 --> 00:31:01,928 and put onto the record their own experiences. 603 00:31:01,961 --> 00:31:05,364 We have a great tradition of some hundreds of sightings. 604 00:31:05,397 --> 00:31:07,366 I myself have gathered 605 00:31:07,399 --> 00:31:11,203 about 600, 800 sightings or so of UFOs. 606 00:31:11,237 --> 00:31:14,941 And it's growing all the time, in my own lifetime. 607 00:31:14,974 --> 00:31:19,578 We have stories of UFOs amongst early pioneer settlers 608 00:31:19,611 --> 00:31:23,315 dating back to... 1850, thereabouts. 609 00:31:23,349 --> 00:31:27,486 There's a story from about the 1890s 610 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:31,490 of a farmer who was plowing his field and a craft, 611 00:31:31,523 --> 00:31:34,426 a silver craft, came over the cliffs. 612 00:31:36,963 --> 00:31:40,132 He stood there and watched it while it disappeared. 613 00:31:44,403 --> 00:31:48,640 It came back after dark and landed there. 614 00:31:48,674 --> 00:31:52,511 And he grabbed his rifle and went out to see 615 00:31:52,544 --> 00:31:55,982 what was going on, and the craft took off again. 616 00:31:59,018 --> 00:32:00,486 I would suggest that the Blue Mountains 617 00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:03,122 have served as a contact point for E.T.s 618 00:32:03,155 --> 00:32:05,691 from an advanced civilization in space. 619 00:32:08,694 --> 00:32:10,462 CAROLINE CORY: What is interesting to note 620 00:32:10,496 --> 00:32:12,498 is that there are 621 00:32:12,531 --> 00:32:16,302 several umbilical cords on the planet. 622 00:32:16,335 --> 00:32:19,205 This particular location is located exactly 623 00:32:19,238 --> 00:32:22,975 at -33 latitude. 624 00:32:23,009 --> 00:32:25,444 Which means it is aligned specifically 625 00:32:25,477 --> 00:32:28,981 with the center of the galaxy. 626 00:32:29,015 --> 00:32:32,284 Now having said that, there's an interesting parallel 627 00:32:32,318 --> 00:32:35,154 with the 33 latitude 628 00:32:35,187 --> 00:32:37,423 on Planet Earth. 629 00:32:37,456 --> 00:32:40,192 And that particular point is considered to be 630 00:32:40,226 --> 00:32:43,095 continuously being visited 631 00:32:43,129 --> 00:32:45,664 from different parts of the planetary system, 632 00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:48,534 from different parts of the galaxy, 633 00:32:48,567 --> 00:32:50,436 and even from beyond this galaxy, 634 00:32:50,469 --> 00:32:53,105 from way out in the universe. 635 00:32:58,377 --> 00:33:00,046 MAN: Wow. 636 00:33:00,079 --> 00:33:01,347 WOMAN: Yeah, did you see that thing? 637 00:33:05,484 --> 00:33:09,055 CHILDRESS: There is a lot of UFO activity. 638 00:33:09,088 --> 00:33:13,425 So here, we have something that would be like a stargate, 639 00:33:13,459 --> 00:33:17,463 some portal to another dimension and jumping to hyperspace, 640 00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:20,499 perhaps, and for some reason, 641 00:33:20,532 --> 00:33:24,103 Australia was the place where they put 642 00:33:24,136 --> 00:33:29,041 this hyperspace portal that is used by extraterrestrials. 643 00:33:29,075 --> 00:33:32,478 NARRATOR: Could the Blue Mountains of Australia function 644 00:33:32,511 --> 00:33:36,115 as an extraterrestrial gateway? 645 00:33:36,148 --> 00:33:38,784 Might this explain the strange phenomena 646 00:33:38,817 --> 00:33:43,255 reported in and around the area? 647 00:33:43,289 --> 00:33:47,293 But if so, is there some connection 648 00:33:47,326 --> 00:33:51,497 to the local Aboriginal tribe? 649 00:33:51,530 --> 00:33:55,267 DUNCAN: There is stories that elders would say 650 00:33:55,301 --> 00:33:57,403 that some people had actually traveled 651 00:33:57,436 --> 00:34:00,772 back to the Morning Star... 652 00:34:00,806 --> 00:34:03,642 and have come back again. 653 00:34:03,675 --> 00:34:06,812 That's not so much of an abduction, 654 00:34:06,845 --> 00:34:08,614 but they have basically went-- 655 00:34:08,647 --> 00:34:11,250 have gone back there and come back. 656 00:34:13,885 --> 00:34:15,387 ROADS: The Australian Aborigines 657 00:34:15,421 --> 00:34:18,190 have a connection and a relationship 658 00:34:18,224 --> 00:34:20,492 with what we call extraterrestrials and UFOs, 659 00:34:20,526 --> 00:34:22,828 which goes back tens of thousands of years. 660 00:34:24,430 --> 00:34:27,399 They're rather nonplussed by their existence. 661 00:34:27,433 --> 00:34:29,568 They have developed 662 00:34:29,601 --> 00:34:33,239 an awareness of individual types of visitors 663 00:34:33,272 --> 00:34:37,143 from what we'd call outer space. 664 00:34:37,176 --> 00:34:38,577 This is not new. 665 00:34:38,610 --> 00:34:41,413 This has happened thousands of times before. 666 00:34:41,447 --> 00:34:42,881 How do we know that? 667 00:34:42,914 --> 00:34:45,351 From all of the remnants that are left behind 668 00:34:45,384 --> 00:34:47,386 by the ancients. 669 00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:49,488 Only a fool could say, "Oh, no. 670 00:34:49,521 --> 00:34:51,223 "We're the only ones here 671 00:34:51,257 --> 00:34:54,860 in this vast amount of space." 672 00:35:00,166 --> 00:35:03,302 NARRATOR: Might the indigenous Australians really 673 00:35:03,335 --> 00:35:07,906 have an ongoing relationship to otherworldly beings? 674 00:35:07,939 --> 00:35:11,177 Beings who have been visiting the continent 675 00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:13,612 for thousands of years? 676 00:35:13,645 --> 00:35:17,316 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest further evidence 677 00:35:17,349 --> 00:35:20,452 of extraterrestrial contact can be found 678 00:35:20,486 --> 00:35:24,323 by examining the Aboriginal rituals known 679 00:35:24,356 --> 00:35:25,757 as "dreaming." 680 00:35:32,764 --> 00:35:34,800 NARRATOR: As the bustling streets 681 00:35:34,833 --> 00:35:37,369 of Sydney fill with workers and tourists-- 682 00:35:37,403 --> 00:35:40,239 over 500 miles away, 683 00:35:40,272 --> 00:35:43,642 Aboriginal elders known as "men of learning" 684 00:35:43,675 --> 00:35:47,446 prepare for a dreaming ceremony. 685 00:35:47,479 --> 00:35:51,917 Dreaming is sacred to the culture 686 00:35:51,950 --> 00:35:54,653 and represents a complex spiritual concept 687 00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:58,257 that transcends linear time. 688 00:36:00,959 --> 00:36:03,529 JAGAMARRA: In the beginning, 689 00:36:03,562 --> 00:36:06,665 there was great spirit. 690 00:36:06,698 --> 00:36:09,501 From the stars they came, 691 00:36:09,535 --> 00:36:11,537 and they came down 692 00:36:11,570 --> 00:36:14,172 to this place. 693 00:36:15,641 --> 00:36:17,376 YOUNG: The elders, 694 00:36:17,409 --> 00:36:20,279 the spiritual leaders of the Aboriginal peoples, 695 00:36:20,312 --> 00:36:23,582 will-will not only chant, but use hypnotic techniques 696 00:36:23,615 --> 00:36:26,552 like the didgeridoo, which makes this humming sound. 697 00:36:26,585 --> 00:36:29,187 (didgeridoo droning) 698 00:36:32,991 --> 00:36:35,394 (singing in native language) 699 00:36:35,427 --> 00:36:38,530 It will take you into an altered state. 700 00:36:40,666 --> 00:36:45,504 It takes them into connection with the Dreamtime, 701 00:36:45,537 --> 00:36:47,606 the unseen worlds, 702 00:36:47,639 --> 00:36:49,475 to commune with the ancestors, 703 00:36:49,508 --> 00:36:52,578 the sky gods. 704 00:36:52,611 --> 00:36:56,582 The Dreamtime is this vast storehouse 705 00:36:56,615 --> 00:36:58,317 of accumulated wisdom 706 00:36:58,350 --> 00:37:02,288 and images and stories. 707 00:37:02,321 --> 00:37:04,423 And it's like other traditions that believe there is a place 708 00:37:04,456 --> 00:37:06,758 that everything that has happened is recorded 709 00:37:06,792 --> 00:37:11,397 and can be reached by the elders through their altered states. 710 00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:14,566 (chanting) 711 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,404 THOMPSON: There's probably no more fundamental concept 712 00:37:18,437 --> 00:37:21,873 in Aboriginal cosmology than the concept of the dreaming. 713 00:37:21,907 --> 00:37:25,377 Sometimes this is referred to as "the Dreamtime." 714 00:37:25,411 --> 00:37:29,381 And this is the idea of this mythic beginnings of the world, 715 00:37:29,415 --> 00:37:32,751 but it's important in that it's a sort of transcendent time. 716 00:37:32,784 --> 00:37:34,486 And what I mean by that is in their view, 717 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:35,854 it's never gone away. 718 00:37:39,325 --> 00:37:41,993 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 719 00:37:42,027 --> 00:37:45,397 that in many ways, the concept of Dreamtime 720 00:37:45,431 --> 00:37:49,468 mirrors the ancient Hindu idea of the Akashic record... 721 00:37:49,501 --> 00:37:53,038 a collection of past, present, 722 00:37:53,071 --> 00:37:56,442 and future knowledge believed to be encoded 723 00:37:56,475 --> 00:37:58,644 in a non-physical existence 724 00:37:58,677 --> 00:38:01,480 known as the astral plane. 725 00:38:03,415 --> 00:38:06,585 HENRY: The Akashic records are sort of like a giant hologram, 726 00:38:06,618 --> 00:38:09,655 a holographic world that we can step into to gain wisdom, 727 00:38:09,688 --> 00:38:11,657 access knowledge... 728 00:38:11,690 --> 00:38:13,792 perhaps even to connect 729 00:38:13,825 --> 00:38:17,329 with extraterrestrial beings. 730 00:38:17,363 --> 00:38:20,666 It's pretty remarkable that the Aborigines would have a concept, 731 00:38:20,699 --> 00:38:24,503 the Dreamtime, that matches not only the Akashic records, 732 00:38:24,536 --> 00:38:28,374 but also the idea of a holographic paradigm. 733 00:38:29,875 --> 00:38:32,678 NARRATOR: In 1997, 734 00:38:32,711 --> 00:38:36,415 theoretical physicists proposed a revolutionary idea 735 00:38:36,448 --> 00:38:39,551 called the holographic paradigm. 736 00:38:39,585 --> 00:38:43,054 Curiously, this theory mirrors the ancient concept 737 00:38:43,088 --> 00:38:46,425 shared by the indigenous Australians 738 00:38:46,458 --> 00:38:49,428 and also the Hindu tradition. 739 00:38:49,461 --> 00:38:51,497 The holographic universe theory 740 00:38:51,530 --> 00:38:54,099 suggests that the world that we see 741 00:38:54,132 --> 00:38:57,536 is a mere projection from a 2-D space. 742 00:38:57,569 --> 00:39:00,372 What we perceive as physical objects 743 00:39:00,406 --> 00:39:04,943 are actually projected fragments of data. 744 00:39:04,976 --> 00:39:08,414 YOUNG: There is a fascinating idea 745 00:39:08,447 --> 00:39:12,150 that perhaps the universe is not three-dimensional. 746 00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:14,119 That it's a projection 747 00:39:14,152 --> 00:39:16,755 from a two-dimensional slide of some kind. 748 00:39:16,788 --> 00:39:19,691 That it's a-a hologram-- 749 00:39:19,725 --> 00:39:22,561 something like The Matrix, in the movie-- 750 00:39:22,594 --> 00:39:26,832 and that we are walking around inside of what seems like 3-D, 751 00:39:26,865 --> 00:39:29,935 but in fact is an illusion. 752 00:39:31,503 --> 00:39:32,738 NARRATOR: While this incredible theory 753 00:39:32,771 --> 00:39:35,173 may seem far-fetched, 754 00:39:35,206 --> 00:39:39,878 in 2013, researchers at Ibaraki University in Japan 755 00:39:39,911 --> 00:39:44,716 found that the theoretical model is mathematically feasible 756 00:39:44,750 --> 00:39:49,621 and might actually be correct. 757 00:39:49,655 --> 00:39:51,156 CHILDRESS: We have this parallel 758 00:39:51,189 --> 00:39:53,825 between the Aboriginal Dreamtime, 759 00:39:53,859 --> 00:39:56,027 the Hindu Akashic record, 760 00:39:56,061 --> 00:39:58,764 and the Holographic Universe Theory-- 761 00:39:58,797 --> 00:40:00,666 what would appear to be 762 00:40:00,699 --> 00:40:04,636 some kind of extraterrestrial technology 763 00:40:04,670 --> 00:40:07,639 that's putting all the information of the universe 764 00:40:07,673 --> 00:40:10,008 into one spot. 765 00:40:12,611 --> 00:40:13,912 NARRATOR: Is it possible 766 00:40:13,945 --> 00:40:16,782 that the Aboriginal elders are tapping 767 00:40:16,815 --> 00:40:20,452 into an otherworldly plane when they perform their ceremonies? 768 00:40:20,486 --> 00:40:23,489 A plane that our greatest scientific minds 769 00:40:23,522 --> 00:40:26,658 don't yet fully understand? 770 00:40:26,692 --> 00:40:29,928 If so, does this provide evidence 771 00:40:29,961 --> 00:40:34,766 of a maintained connection between this indigenous culture 772 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,669 and advanced extraterrestrial beings? 773 00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:45,711 TSOUKALOS: We have to remind ourselves that the Aboriginals 774 00:40:45,744 --> 00:40:50,549 are our last direct connection to our extraterrestrial past. 775 00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,254 It would behoove us to listen, 776 00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:58,590 because one thing is clear to me today-- 777 00:40:58,624 --> 00:41:02,994 their stories are very clear in their message 778 00:41:03,028 --> 00:41:05,697 that we are not alone in the universe. 779 00:41:05,731 --> 00:41:08,967 DUNCAN: We are the extraterrestrials. 780 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:11,136 Our body is made up of this earth, 781 00:41:11,169 --> 00:41:15,273 but our spirit comes from the Morning Star. 782 00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:17,943 We come from another place, from another world. 783 00:41:17,976 --> 00:41:21,980 We were brought here a long time ago to populate this place 784 00:41:22,013 --> 00:41:25,684 everyone now calls Earth. 785 00:41:27,886 --> 00:41:30,989 NARRATOR: Might the Aboriginal Wisdom Keepers serve 786 00:41:31,022 --> 00:41:35,493 as a direct link to our extraterrestrial creators? 787 00:41:37,295 --> 00:41:38,997 And could there be messages 788 00:41:39,030 --> 00:41:41,266 left behind for mankind encoded 789 00:41:41,299 --> 00:41:44,035 in their sacred traditions? 790 00:41:44,069 --> 00:41:47,639 As we stand at the threshold of a new level 791 00:41:47,673 --> 00:41:50,208 of science and understanding, 792 00:41:50,241 --> 00:41:53,712 perhaps we will discover that the stories 793 00:41:53,745 --> 00:41:56,014 of the world's oldest living culture 794 00:41:56,047 --> 00:41:58,884 not only reveal our true origins... 795 00:41:58,917 --> 00:42:03,121 but also our destiny. 796
