59 00:04:19,811 --> 00:04:22,535 NARRATOR: Could the UFO phenomenon be real? 60 00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:28,140 And is it possible that extraterrestrials have been monitoring 61 00:04:28,339 --> 00:04:33,780 and perhaps even interfering with the technological advancement of mankind? 62 00:04:35,244 --> 00:04:39,327 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest 63 00:04:39,656 --> 00:04:43,151 that the earliest and perhaps strongest evidence of this 64 00:04:43,186 --> 00:04:47,670 can be found in the biblical story of the Tower of Babel. 65 00:04:50,497 --> 00:04:52,601 According to the Book of Genesis, 66 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,187 the Tower of Babel was built in Mesopotamia after the Great Flood. 67 00:04:57,620 --> 00:05:01,608 Some accounts suggest it reached nearly 30 stories, 68 00:05:01,744 --> 00:05:03,719 or 300 feet tall. 69 00:05:03,965 --> 00:05:08,219 It was described as a bridge between heaven and Earth, 70 00:05:08,462 --> 00:05:10,465 built by a unified people. 71 00:05:10,695 --> 00:05:13,771 BARRY DOWNING: In the Book of Genesis, Chapter 11, it says, 72 00:05:14,261 --> 00:05:18,395 "In the beginning, there was only one language and few words." 73 00:05:18,615 --> 00:05:20,578 And then a group of people got together 74 00:05:20,613 --> 00:05:23,565 and decided that things could be improved. 75 00:05:24,977 --> 00:05:27,325 JONATHAN YOUNG: Someone got the idea of building a tower, 76 00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,118 a tower to heaven, to make a name for ourselves. 77 00:05:30,153 --> 00:05:34,261 Well, this starts to become hubris, where you start challenging the gods. 78 00:05:34,396 --> 00:05:37,461 This is a key idea, a certain kind of arrogance 79 00:05:37,496 --> 00:05:39,478 that is starting to think that you are a god. 80 00:05:39,513 --> 00:05:42,856 And so as the tower lifts up, God is annoyed. 81 00:05:43,929 --> 00:05:45,369 ROBERT CARGILL: God comes down and says, 82 00:05:45,404 --> 00:05:47,705 "Wow, they can actually accomplish this feat; 83 00:05:47,773 --> 00:05:49,933 they can actually build a tower up into the heavens." 84 00:05:50,609 --> 00:05:54,608 So let's disperse their language, and then they can't communicate, 85 00:05:54,643 --> 00:05:56,726 and then they can't build this tower. 86 00:05:59,618 --> 00:06:01,667 NARRATOR: Biblical scholars contend 87 00:06:01,876 --> 00:06:05,435 that the story merely attempts to offer an explanation 88 00:06:05,564 --> 00:06:07,995 for the various languages on Earth. 89 00:06:09,246 --> 00:06:11,915 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest 90 00:06:12,141 --> 00:06:16,167 the biblical account may actually reveal a greater truth 91 00:06:16,418 --> 00:06:21,857 about extraterrestrial interest in the technological progress of mankind. 92 00:06:23,795 --> 00:06:28,059 ARIEL BAR TZADOK: From the other literature that we have peripheral to the Bible, 93 00:06:28,224 --> 00:06:30,852 a much deeper story is told. 94 00:06:30,981 --> 00:06:32,613 What was this tower? 95 00:06:33,154 --> 00:06:34,931 According to this ancient source, 96 00:06:35,276 --> 00:06:38,090 this ancient technology that they discovered 97 00:06:38,125 --> 00:06:40,429 was to reach to the heavens. 98 00:06:41,249 --> 00:06:43,742 CHILDRESS: When you look at the story of the Tower of Babel, 99 00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:48,499 it's essentially a story of mankind developing technology 100 00:06:48,567 --> 00:06:53,864 and being like the gods, being like our extraterrestrial creators. 101 00:06:54,504 --> 00:06:57,439 And therefore, mankind was, in a sense, 102 00:06:57,825 --> 00:07:01,249 kept from reaching a technological level. 103 00:07:02,393 --> 00:07:05,525 WILLIAM HENRY: The word "Babel" means "gate to God," 104 00:07:05,777 --> 00:07:10,076 and some believe that the gate to God was in fact a star gate, 105 00:07:10,222 --> 00:07:13,947 a ladder, tower or stairway that reached into the heavens. 106 00:07:14,585 --> 00:07:19,638 And so when God saw that humankind were building a star gate, 107 00:07:19,979 --> 00:07:21,743 this was too much. 108 00:07:23,602 --> 00:07:25,809 TZADOK: Well, what happened next? 109 00:07:26,238 --> 00:07:29,084 Powers that be watched. 110 00:07:29,410 --> 00:07:32,674 They observed. They spoke to one another, saying, 111 00:07:32,709 --> 00:07:38,542 "We have to descend to the Earth to bring an assault upon the builders of the tower." 112 00:07:38,786 --> 00:07:40,402 What kind of an assault? 113 00:07:41,145 --> 00:07:42,704 The biblical text is very clear. 114 00:07:42,817 --> 00:07:46,324 They touched the minds of the people 115 00:07:46,550 --> 00:07:49,574 and corrupted their spirit of unity. 116 00:07:50,074 --> 00:07:54,928 WILLIAM BRAMLEY: The Tower of Babel story really relates to a decision 117 00:07:55,063 --> 00:07:57,731 that the so-called gods had made: 118 00:07:57,914 --> 00:08:01,104 human beings were not only supposed to speak different languages, 119 00:08:01,278 --> 00:08:03,895 they were also supposed to fight with each other. 120 00:08:04,335 --> 00:08:06,982 They were supposed to come into conflict with each other. 121 00:08:07,017 --> 00:08:08,671 And as long as they're squabbling with each other, 122 00:08:08,706 --> 00:08:11,181 they're not gonna unite and fight against you. 123 00:08:13,806 --> 00:08:17,850 NARRATOR: Is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest, 124 00:08:17,992 --> 00:08:19,964 that otherworldly beings 125 00:08:19,965 --> 00:08:24,580 have been carefully watching the advancements of humans and have intervened, 126 00:08:25,614 --> 00:08:31,286 creating barriers as a way to keep mankind from obtaining powerful technology? 127 00:08:32,962 --> 00:08:35,262 Perhaps further clues can be found 128 00:08:35,433 --> 00:08:38,860 by examining the remnants of an ancient civilization 129 00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:43,917 that appears to have been destroyed by a massive explosion. 130 00:08:48,201 --> 00:08:51,117 NARRATOR: Sindh Province, Pakistan. 131 00:08:51,804 --> 00:08:53,849 1922. 132 00:08:54,930 --> 00:08:58,630 An officer of the archaeological survey of India 133 00:08:58,665 --> 00:09:00,844 is led by a Buddhist monk 134 00:09:01,014 --> 00:09:04,562 to an area believed to have been a religious monument. 135 00:09:06,044 --> 00:09:10,165 But under the mounds of dirt, archaeologists find instead 136 00:09:10,223 --> 00:09:15,539 an ancient Indus Valley city dating back to 2,000 BC. 137 00:09:16,845 --> 00:09:21,169 It is called Mohenjo-daro, or Mound of the Dead. 138 00:09:21,467 --> 00:09:25,809 And it is one of the oldest civilizations discovered in the world. 139 00:09:28,445 --> 00:09:33,214 BRAMLEY: Mohenjo-daro was very advanced for that time. 140 00:09:34,806 --> 00:09:39,225 They had sanitation, they had all kinds of good things going, 141 00:09:39,685 --> 00:09:42,486 and they had a lot of trade going with Mesopotamia. 142 00:09:43,856 --> 00:09:47,908 NARRATOR: The city of Mohenjo-daro rivaled the ancient civilizations 143 00:09:47,943 --> 00:09:50,289 in Egypt and Mesopotamia. 144 00:09:52,632 --> 00:09:58,132 Archaeologists believe that over 35,000 people once occupied the city. 145 00:09:59,056 --> 00:10:03,908 However, only 43 skeletons have been discovered at the site. 146 00:10:09,182 --> 00:10:12,535 There are many theories surrounding the mysterious disappearance 147 00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:15,505 of the Indus people from Mohenjo-daro. 148 00:10:16,589 --> 00:10:21,976 In 1977, British researcher David Davenport discovered 149 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:27,245 that part of the archaeological site showed evidence of having been destroyed 150 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,966 by an extremely powerful explosion. 151 00:10:32,206 --> 00:10:35,213 He found what remains of the blast. 152 00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:41,508 And he believed that this area was the epicenter of something 153 00:10:41,604 --> 00:10:43,981 that he believed was an explosion 154 00:10:44,343 --> 00:10:47,083 that destroyed part of the city. 155 00:10:47,270 --> 00:10:51,542 And he found the evidence of vitrified pottery, 156 00:10:51,712 --> 00:10:55,708 bricks that were totally fused, melted, or vitrified. 157 00:10:56,483 --> 00:11:01,137 NARRATOR: Scholars claim that several calcified skeletons found at the site 158 00:11:01,659 --> 00:11:05,355 suggest they suffered an instantaneous death. 159 00:11:09,108 --> 00:11:12,677 HENRY: In Mohenjo-Daro, they found bodies arm in arm, 160 00:11:12,745 --> 00:11:17,327 skeletons arm in arm, that had been vitrified, virtually vitrified. 161 00:11:19,173 --> 00:11:24,205 NARRATOR: For years, restricted access to the site has prevented scientists 162 00:11:24,339 --> 00:11:26,816 from analyzing the vitrified ruins. 163 00:11:28,041 --> 00:11:33,094 But in 2014, mineralogist Dr. Sam Iyengar 164 00:11:33,327 --> 00:11:37,475 was able to obtain a piece of fused pottery from Mohenjo-daro, 165 00:11:37,510 --> 00:11:40,449 and put it through a series of tests. 166 00:11:40,775 --> 00:11:42,889 SAMPATH IYENGAR: When I did the elemental analysis, 167 00:11:43,064 --> 00:11:49,023 it showed me that the Mohenjo-daro rock contained mostly silicon, 168 00:11:49,348 --> 00:11:52,142 aluminum, with some calcium and potassium. 169 00:11:52,385 --> 00:11:55,781 So my thought was maybe it could be some type of a clay. 170 00:11:56,055 --> 00:11:58,301 Till I did the X-ray diffraction. 171 00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:06,361 NARRATOR: X-ray diffraction is able to determine exactly how a material was formed. 172 00:12:08,567 --> 00:12:11,101 IYENGAR: When I did the X-ray powder diffraction, 173 00:12:11,631 --> 00:12:13,895 this is the pattern I got. 174 00:12:14,356 --> 00:12:17,931 And you can see some crystalline peaks here, 175 00:12:18,064 --> 00:12:20,157 along with an amorphous hump, 176 00:12:20,358 --> 00:12:24,556 which usually results from a glassy phase in the rock. 177 00:12:24,717 --> 00:12:28,143 The composition is very similar to volcanic rock. 178 00:12:30,356 --> 00:12:34,827 The only way the clay can be converted into something which we saw 179 00:12:35,549 --> 00:12:40,110 is subjecting the clay to a very, very high temperature. 180 00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:44,717 I'm talking 4,000 to 5,000 degree Fahrenheit. 181 00:12:45,632 --> 00:12:50,529 That is not something a early civilization can do intentionally. 182 00:12:50,876 --> 00:12:54,233 It has to be something supernatural. 183 00:12:57,550 --> 00:12:59,384 NARRATOR: Could this pottery sample, 184 00:12:59,385 --> 00:13:03,748 which shows irrefutable evidence of having been subjected to extreme heat, 185 00:13:05,922 --> 00:13:10,337 be definitive evidence that Mohenjo-daro really was the site 186 00:13:10,572 --> 00:13:14,455 of some type of powerful explosion in the ancient past? 187 00:13:17,203 --> 00:13:22,016 David Davenport and other researchers of India's ancient Vedic texts 188 00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:24,942 have suggested that this is the case, 189 00:13:25,082 --> 00:13:29,582 and that Mohenjo-daro may in fact be the kingdom of Lanka. 190 00:13:31,550 --> 00:13:37,440 A city whose destruction is detailed in the Indian epic known as the Ramayana. 191 00:13:38,301 --> 00:13:42,108 In the Ramayana, it is described that the god Vishnu 192 00:13:42,243 --> 00:13:46,617 decides the leader of Lanka, a mortal named Ravana, 193 00:13:46,652 --> 00:13:48,690 has grown too powerful. 194 00:13:49,396 --> 00:13:53,967 Vishnu takes the human form of Rama and does battle with Ravana, 195 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,898 who has become like the gods himself. 196 00:13:57,451 --> 00:13:59,951 DEEPAK SHIMKHADA: Ravana was a very formidable enemy. 197 00:14:00,051 --> 00:14:04,968 In fact, most of his power, it was acquired from-from God, Shiva himself, 198 00:14:05,135 --> 00:14:07,598 because he was a great devotee of Shiva, 199 00:14:08,655 --> 00:14:11,475 and Shiva gave him lethal weapons. 200 00:14:11,705 --> 00:14:15,965 During the battle between Rama and Ravana, 201 00:14:16,068 --> 00:14:18,804 they used particular weapons of energy. 202 00:14:18,903 --> 00:14:20,585 Weapons of the gods. 203 00:14:24,214 --> 00:14:26,960 They have a very big power of destruction. 204 00:14:27,912 --> 00:14:29,889 GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: It was described as the sun 205 00:14:30,155 --> 00:14:34,489 turning into 50 even more brighter suns, 206 00:14:34,603 --> 00:14:36,847 with this incredible blast. 207 00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:40,217 So some people have suggested 208 00:14:40,218 --> 00:14:45,681 that perhaps at Mohenjo-daro some type of nuclear blast occurred. 209 00:14:45,891 --> 00:14:51,829 Not only do we have a textual reference to a possible nuclear blast, 210 00:14:52,101 --> 00:14:55,563 but we also find physical evidence 211 00:14:55,681 --> 00:15:00,183 that show vitrification of stone. 212 00:15:00,359 --> 00:15:03,521 And the only way that stone can be vitrified 213 00:15:03,678 --> 00:15:06,792 is if it's exposed to extreme heat. 214 00:15:10,631 --> 00:15:12,112 DAVID WILCOCK: This is not mythology. 215 00:15:12,239 --> 00:15:16,166 This is not superstition. This is documented historical events 216 00:15:16,381 --> 00:15:20,385 of people that are warring with each other using advanced technology. 217 00:15:21,922 --> 00:15:26,264 NOORY: I happen to believe that mankind possessed incredible technology, 218 00:15:26,481 --> 00:15:31,253 incredible knowledge, and that they did things that we're doing right now, 219 00:15:31,841 --> 00:15:33,689 and then something happened. 220 00:15:36,862 --> 00:15:39,814 And they had to literally start all over again. 221 00:15:41,001 --> 00:15:44,721 Whoever got involved said, "Uh-uh, that's not gonna happen. 222 00:15:44,756 --> 00:15:48,305 Let's let them have knowledge, but not too much knowledge." 223 00:15:48,420 --> 00:15:51,186 And I think that's probably what's happening here. 224 00:15:52,336 --> 00:15:56,120 NARRATOR: Is it possible that the vitrified ruins at Mohenjo-daro 225 00:15:56,524 --> 00:16:00,839 are evidence that humans were in possession of advanced technology 226 00:16:01,002 --> 00:16:03,107 thousands of years ago? 227 00:16:03,686 --> 00:16:07,481 And does this suggest that extraterrestrial beings 228 00:16:07,947 --> 00:16:10,717 intervened in the affairs of mankind 229 00:16:10,829 --> 00:16:13,967 to prevent the exploitation of these weapons? 230 00:16:15,023 --> 00:16:18,035 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 231 00:16:18,171 --> 00:16:21,396 and suggest further proof can be found 232 00:16:21,452 --> 00:16:25,986 by examining the ancient world's greatest repository of knowledge 233 00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:29,058 and how it came to be destroyed. 234 00:16:35,929 --> 00:16:38,874 NARRATOR: Egypt, 391 A.D. 235 00:16:40,482 --> 00:16:43,279 The Great Library of Alexandria, 236 00:16:43,486 --> 00:16:48,204 which houses perhaps the most extensive collection of knowledge in the ancient world, 237 00:16:49,228 --> 00:16:50,716 is set aflame. 238 00:16:54,263 --> 00:16:58,274 It is burned by decree of Emperor Theodosius I, 239 00:16:58,334 --> 00:17:01,932 who has deemed many of the works contained at the library 240 00:17:02,104 --> 00:17:04,225 unorthodox and heretical. 241 00:17:06,575 --> 00:17:09,749 Built by the Egyptians in the third century B.C., 242 00:17:09,981 --> 00:17:13,513 the Library of Alexandria was said to contain 243 00:17:13,657 --> 00:17:17,565 as many as a million scrolls on a wide variety of topics, 244 00:17:18,013 --> 00:17:22,411 including astronomy, mathematics, physics, 245 00:17:22,857 --> 00:17:25,526 medicine and philosophy. 246 00:17:28,793 --> 00:17:30,735 JONATHAN YOUNG: The Library at Alexandria 247 00:17:30,736 --> 00:17:33,485 was the greatest library of the ancient world-- 248 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,592 thousands and thousands of scrolls, all of the ancient science, 249 00:17:37,627 --> 00:17:41,792 all of the ancient wisdom, the occult lore, the literature. 250 00:17:41,944 --> 00:17:44,569 But as regimes changed, 251 00:17:44,693 --> 00:17:49,472 there was a fear that perhaps there were heresies in those volumes. 252 00:17:50,682 --> 00:17:54,605 SABINA MAGLIOCCO: As Christianity grew and became a more powerful religion, 253 00:17:54,623 --> 00:18:01,209 they began to see some of the learning that was part of ancient civilization as evil. 254 00:18:02,355 --> 00:18:06,740 So all of the astronomy, all of the technological knowledge, 255 00:18:06,875 --> 00:18:09,796 all of the philosophy had to be destroyed. 256 00:18:10,860 --> 00:18:13,699 TZADOK: There was ancient technologies that were lost. 257 00:18:13,734 --> 00:18:16,840 We know this from modern historical record. 258 00:18:17,052 --> 00:18:20,538 Technologies working with systems like magnetism, 259 00:18:20,715 --> 00:18:24,788 crystals, energy, like the Ark of the Covenant. 260 00:18:24,930 --> 00:18:26,547 We know these things existed, 261 00:18:26,582 --> 00:18:30,259 but we don't know what was the nature of their existence. 262 00:18:30,821 --> 00:18:34,464 CHILDRESS: Some of those books were the history of our planet 263 00:18:34,499 --> 00:18:37,808 going back to 100,000 years, even. 264 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,208 So when these books were all destroyed, 265 00:18:41,288 --> 00:18:45,889 it was a way of setting the knowledge back to zero. 266 00:18:49,867 --> 00:18:53,131 NARRATOR: Of the volumes once held by the vast library, 267 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,262 researchers have estimated 268 00:18:55,263 --> 00:18:59,929 that 95% of the knowledge that was recorded there was incinerated, 269 00:19:00,081 --> 00:19:04,241 plunging humanity back thousands of years in its evolution. 270 00:19:04,516 --> 00:19:06,104 But why?
