These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:01,168 --> 00:00:03,068 JONATHAN YOUNG: To devout Hindus, 2 00:00:03,170 --> 00:00:06,505 Shiva is a real being who walked among us. 3 00:00:06,607 --> 00:00:09,174 ERICH VON DANIKEN: Shiva came down 4 00:00:09,276 --> 00:00:11,577 from these cities on the firmament. 5 00:00:11,679 --> 00:00:14,446 He's the leader of a group of extraterrestrials. 6 00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:17,649 Shiva was a force for incredible good, 7 00:00:17,752 --> 00:00:20,152 but also a force for incredible destruction. 8 00:00:20,254 --> 00:00:24,123 And he is said to have this trident 9 00:00:24,225 --> 00:00:28,660 which could annihilate anything in its path. 10 00:00:28,763 --> 00:00:29,928 DAVID WILCOCK: In the Hindu tradition, 11 00:00:30,031 --> 00:00:33,665 you have to have destruction in order to have creation. 12 00:00:33,768 --> 00:00:36,368 And it may be that Shiva will determine 13 00:00:36,470 --> 00:00:38,370 the future of the human race. 14 00:00:38,472 --> 00:00:41,840 NARRATOR: Since the dawn of civilization, 15 00:00:41,942 --> 00:00:45,978 mankind has credited its origins to gods 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,480 and other visitors from the stars. 17 00:00:48,582 --> 00:00:51,216 What if it were true? 18 00:00:51,318 --> 00:00:53,952 Did extraterrestrial beings 19 00:00:54,055 --> 00:00:57,289 really help to shape our history? 20 00:00:57,391 --> 00:01:00,125 And if so, might humanity's fate 21 00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:03,829 be determined by Shiva the Destroyer? 22 00:01:34,862 --> 00:01:36,862 NARRATOR: India. 23 00:01:36,964 --> 00:01:41,200 Covering over 1.2 million square miles, 24 00:01:41,302 --> 00:01:44,236 it is the world's seventh-largest country. 25 00:01:44,338 --> 00:01:48,440 And with 1.3 billion people, 26 00:01:48,542 --> 00:01:50,509 it is the second most populated. 27 00:01:52,513 --> 00:01:57,316 Roughly 80% of the Indian population practices Hinduism, 28 00:01:57,418 --> 00:02:01,053 the world's oldest surviving religion 29 00:02:01,155 --> 00:02:04,656 that dates back to at least 2000 BC. 30 00:02:04,758 --> 00:02:10,462 And for the Hindu faithful, their gods are not mythological, 31 00:02:10,564 --> 00:02:12,464 but are real beings 32 00:02:12,566 --> 00:02:16,735 that have, at times, been present here on Earth. 33 00:02:19,607 --> 00:02:23,575 YOUNG: These many gods and goddesses have different stories 34 00:02:23,677 --> 00:02:25,010 and different energies 35 00:02:25,112 --> 00:02:28,747 and different principles that they represent. 36 00:02:28,849 --> 00:02:32,751 For many of the Hindu faithful, the gods are absolutely real. 37 00:02:32,853 --> 00:02:34,953 They exist physically, 38 00:02:35,055 --> 00:02:37,789 although they may not always be visible. 39 00:02:37,892 --> 00:02:41,460 In general, compared to Western belief systems, 40 00:02:41,562 --> 00:02:45,597 the tangible reality of the gods is much stronger in India. 41 00:02:45,699 --> 00:02:49,101 I've grown up as a Hindu in a strict Hindu family, 42 00:02:49,203 --> 00:02:51,737 so I know all the Vedas and epics. 43 00:02:51,839 --> 00:02:53,739 You know, I've read them hundreds of times. 44 00:02:53,841 --> 00:02:58,377 Hindus believe that the gods came down from the sky. 45 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,680 DEEPAK SHIMKHADA: Hindus believe that 46 00:03:01,782 --> 00:03:05,484 these stories are not simply myth. 47 00:03:05,586 --> 00:03:07,186 They are historical records, 48 00:03:07,288 --> 00:03:10,889 because they are actually called itihasa-- 49 00:03:10,991 --> 00:03:13,825 itihasa meaning "history." 50 00:03:13,928 --> 00:03:17,229 NARRATOR: While in the Judeo-Christian tradition, 51 00:03:17,331 --> 00:03:20,532 God is depicted as an all-powerful being, 52 00:03:20,634 --> 00:03:22,568 in the Vedic texts, 53 00:03:22,670 --> 00:03:27,105 Hindu gods often rely on the use of technology. 54 00:03:27,208 --> 00:03:31,977 This has led ancient astronaut theorists to pose the question: 55 00:03:32,079 --> 00:03:35,380 is it possible that these religious texts 56 00:03:35,482 --> 00:03:38,784 describe not only encounters with the divine, 57 00:03:38,886 --> 00:03:42,821 but also with extraterrestrial beings? 58 00:03:42,923 --> 00:03:46,825 The Western mindset is different from that of India, 59 00:03:46,927 --> 00:03:49,928 where they accept the idea of extraterrestrial beings. 60 00:03:50,030 --> 00:03:53,232 The Hindu story of the Mahabharata 61 00:03:53,334 --> 00:03:55,567 is loaded with references 62 00:03:55,669 --> 00:03:59,605 to what seems to be extraterrestrial technology. 63 00:03:59,707 --> 00:04:02,541 You've got flying vehicles. 64 00:04:02,643 --> 00:04:05,844 You've got weapons that are voice-activated. 65 00:04:05,946 --> 00:04:08,614 And you have destructions of civilizations 66 00:04:08,716 --> 00:04:11,483 by what seems like nuclear detonation. 67 00:04:12,886 --> 00:04:15,487 VON DANIKEN: In the Mahabharata, 68 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:18,790 there they write that one day 69 00:04:18,892 --> 00:04:22,394 gigantic cities surrounded the Earth. 70 00:04:22,496 --> 00:04:25,364 They did not have a word for "spaceship" at that time. 71 00:04:25,466 --> 00:04:27,366 They say "cities." 72 00:04:27,468 --> 00:04:29,334 And they make clear difference 73 00:04:29,436 --> 00:04:33,472 that these cities were in the firmament, not in heaven. 74 00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:35,807 And small vehicles came down 75 00:04:35,909 --> 00:04:38,343 from these cities of the firmament. 76 00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:41,847 The old Indians called these vehicles vimanas. 77 00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:46,451 And out of the vimanas, the teachers came out. 78 00:04:46,553 --> 00:04:51,323 No doubt we were visited by extraterrestrials. 79 00:04:51,425 --> 00:04:53,859 NARRATOR: Is the Hindu tradition 80 00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:57,663 a story of extraterrestrial visitation? 81 00:04:57,765 --> 00:05:00,532 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 82 00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:03,201 and suggest that this was orchestrated 83 00:05:03,304 --> 00:05:07,973 by an otherworldly being known in Hinduism as Lord Shiva. 84 00:05:09,810 --> 00:05:12,110 Shiva is Shiva is also called Mahadeva. 85 00:05:12,212 --> 00:05:15,514 Mahadeva means "great god." 86 00:05:15,616 --> 00:05:18,083 So he is god of gods. 87 00:05:18,185 --> 00:05:20,452 He's the head of all gods, 88 00:05:20,554 --> 00:05:24,022 and he's also the most powerful god. 89 00:05:24,124 --> 00:05:25,857 Shiva has a dual function. 90 00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,827 One of his functions is destruction. 91 00:05:28,929 --> 00:05:31,063 The other one is creation. 92 00:05:31,165 --> 00:05:35,033 Without destruction, there is no creation. 93 00:05:35,135 --> 00:05:37,336 NARRATOR: Depictions of Shiva embody 94 00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:41,306 this idea of destruction and creation. 95 00:05:41,408 --> 00:05:46,745 Shiva is most often shown holding a drum called a damaru, 96 00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:49,247 which he used to create the universe. 97 00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:53,652 Around his neck is a cobra poised to strike. 98 00:05:53,754 --> 00:05:58,523 In one hand, Shiva holds a powerful trident-like 99 00:05:58,625 --> 00:06:01,660 weapon of destruction called the trishula, 100 00:06:01,762 --> 00:06:05,831 and in the center of his forehead, he has a third eye. 101 00:06:07,634 --> 00:06:10,102 Shiva is the only god that has a... 102 00:06:10,204 --> 00:06:12,137 depicted with third eye. 103 00:06:12,239 --> 00:06:15,073 If his third eye opens, 104 00:06:15,175 --> 00:06:19,678 a very powerful light, uh, fire emits from his third eye, 105 00:06:19,780 --> 00:06:24,883 and anything that it sees, it destroys totally. 106 00:06:24,985 --> 00:06:27,652 Usually, when you talk about the third eye, 107 00:06:27,755 --> 00:06:29,921 it's about enlightenment. 108 00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:32,057 And then there is this other third eye, 109 00:06:32,159 --> 00:06:36,027 this third eye that was able to annihilate things. 110 00:06:36,130 --> 00:06:38,997 I don't think they're the same thing. 111 00:06:39,099 --> 00:06:41,666 So the question is: What was it? 112 00:06:41,769 --> 00:06:43,668 And what was Shiva? 113 00:06:45,472 --> 00:06:49,074 Shiva appeared at a very crucial time 114 00:06:49,176 --> 00:06:51,109 when, uh, two gods-- 115 00:06:51,211 --> 00:06:54,312 Brahma is the creator, and Vishnu, the preserver-- 116 00:06:54,415 --> 00:06:57,349 were debating who is greater. 117 00:06:57,451 --> 00:07:01,386 All of a sudden, this blinding light, shaft of light, 118 00:07:01,488 --> 00:07:04,956 appeared that has no end or beginning. 119 00:07:05,058 --> 00:07:08,226 And then this voice came out of this light, 120 00:07:08,328 --> 00:07:10,829 said that, "I am the greatest. 121 00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:12,964 I am the greatest god there is." 122 00:07:13,066 --> 00:07:16,301 TSOUKALOS: Shiva is almost always surrounded 123 00:07:16,403 --> 00:07:19,905 by some type of a circular structure with flames. 124 00:07:20,007 --> 00:07:24,142 Now, what did our human ancestor artists try to depict here? 125 00:07:24,244 --> 00:07:29,815 Was he perhaps inside some type of a fiery craft? 126 00:07:29,917 --> 00:07:35,654 It is possible that Shiva is the same extraterrestrial 127 00:07:35,756 --> 00:07:38,657 that other cultures call by different names. 128 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:41,059 Enki, Odin, Zeus, 129 00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:43,962 Viracocha, Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan. 130 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,166 NARRATOR: The earliest Vedic texts 131 00:07:48,268 --> 00:07:51,670 were first written roughly 4,000 years ago, 132 00:07:51,772 --> 00:07:55,207 but Hindus claim that the stories originated 133 00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:59,411 hundreds and perhaps even thousands of years earlier, 134 00:07:59,513 --> 00:08:02,747 existing as part of an oral tradition 135 00:08:02,850 --> 00:08:06,151 passed down from one generation to the next. 136 00:08:06,253 --> 00:08:10,322 And ancient astronaut theorists suggest 137 00:08:10,424 --> 00:08:13,158 that Shiva first arrived here on Earth 138 00:08:13,260 --> 00:08:16,895 at a time before the existence of modern humans, 139 00:08:16,997 --> 00:08:20,165 and before the event known, in the Biblical tradition, 140 00:08:20,267 --> 00:08:21,967 as the Great Flood. 141 00:08:24,404 --> 00:08:26,471 Every culture around the world 142 00:08:26,573 --> 00:08:28,773 that has any type of ancient writings 143 00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:31,009 or documents or even oral traditions, 144 00:08:31,111 --> 00:08:34,779 they always talk about some kind of great flood... 145 00:08:38,685 --> 00:08:42,954 ...that had a massive catastrophic effect, 146 00:08:43,056 --> 00:08:45,657 and utterly wiped out 147 00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:49,060 much of life on Earth in a single day. 148 00:08:49,162 --> 00:08:52,163 What I find interesting about this 149 00:08:52,266 --> 00:08:55,066 is that Shiva is the god of destruction. 150 00:08:55,168 --> 00:08:58,403 In the Hindu tradition, you have to have destruction 151 00:08:58,505 --> 00:09:00,472 in order to have creation. 152 00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:05,243 Is there a connection there? 153 00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:06,912 (speaking Russian) 154 00:09:07,014 --> 00:09:10,015 TRANSLATOR: Tibetan lamas claim that, after the Flood, 155 00:09:10,117 --> 00:09:12,117 when the whole Earth flooded, 156 00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:16,821 and the waters gradually receded, 157 00:09:16,924 --> 00:09:20,191 man was created anew 158 00:09:20,294 --> 00:09:24,529 by means of the seed that was guarded by Shiva. 159 00:09:29,469 --> 00:09:30,969 NARRATOR: Is it possible 160 00:09:31,071 --> 00:09:33,972 that Shiva was an extraterrestrial visitor 161 00:09:34,074 --> 00:09:37,542 that was responsible for both the creation and destruction 162 00:09:37,644 --> 00:09:40,345 of an earlier race of Earthlings? 163 00:09:40,447 --> 00:09:43,181 And if so, did he do this 164 00:09:43,283 --> 00:09:45,984 to clear the way for modern humans? 165 00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:49,521 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 166 00:09:49,623 --> 00:09:53,658 further clues can be found by examining a mysterious temple 167 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,096 in northern India and what might lie beneath it. 168 00:10:01,368 --> 00:10:03,168 LAYNE LITTLE: One of the more mysterious aspects 169 00:10:03,270 --> 00:10:09,007 of the site of Ellora are the tunnels. 170 00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:10,508 Tunnels like these 171 00:10:10,611 --> 00:10:13,445 lead to a vast city under Kailasa Temple. 172 00:10:20,045 --> 00:10:23,547 NARRATOR: Aurangabad, India. 173 00:10:23,616 --> 00:10:27,117 200 miles northeast of Mumbai 174 00:10:27,219 --> 00:10:29,620 stands a monolithic temple complex 175 00:10:29,688 --> 00:10:32,923 known as the Ellora Caves. 176 00:10:33,025 --> 00:10:37,160 These 34 sites of worship, extending over a mile, 177 00:10:37,263 --> 00:10:39,429 were carved out of a high cliff, 178 00:10:39,531 --> 00:10:45,969 and are believed to date back to between 600 and 1000 AD. 179 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,642 Cave 16, known as Kailasa Temple, 180 00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:55,078 is a massive shrine to Lord Shiva. 181 00:10:55,180 --> 00:10:59,349 At three stories high, it stands twice as tall 182 00:10:59,451 --> 00:11:02,085 as the Parthenon in Athens, 183 00:11:02,187 --> 00:11:06,290 and archaeologists believe it was chiseled out of the hillside 184 00:11:06,358 --> 00:11:10,093 starting at the top and ending at the bottom. 185 00:11:10,162 --> 00:11:14,331 Some historians estimate that construction of the temple 186 00:11:14,433 --> 00:11:19,169 required the removal of over 400,000 tons of rock, 187 00:11:19,271 --> 00:11:23,140 but even more incredible is that mainstream archaeologists 188 00:11:23,242 --> 00:11:28,412 propose that this feat was accomplished in just 18 years. 189 00:11:31,717 --> 00:11:35,719 If people worked every day for that 18 years, 190 00:11:35,821 --> 00:11:38,455 for 12 hours straight with no breaks, 191 00:11:38,557 --> 00:11:41,591 then they would have to have removed 192 00:11:41,694 --> 00:11:44,061 five tons of rock every hour. 193 00:11:44,163 --> 00:11:49,099 This is ten thousand pounds of rock every hour. 194 00:11:49,201 --> 00:11:53,503 In reality, such a feat is not even possible today 195 00:11:53,572 --> 00:11:56,506 with modern technology. 196 00:11:56,608 --> 00:11:58,208 If it happened in 18 years, 197 00:11:58,277 --> 00:12:00,477 it is very hard to account for... 198 00:12:21,834 --> 00:12:26,269 Another baffling fact is that if they removed 199 00:12:26,372 --> 00:12:28,472 400,000 tons of rocks, 200 00:12:28,574 --> 00:12:31,241 they have to be thrown away somewhere. 201 00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:36,680 But we do not find any evidence of rocks being piled up nearby. 202 00:12:36,782 --> 00:12:39,616 Uh, it hasn't been used to build any other temples 203 00:12:39,685 --> 00:12:41,451 or any other structure. 204 00:12:41,553 --> 00:12:43,186 Where did all that rock go? 205 00:12:45,724 --> 00:12:49,292 NARRATOR: Could humans living over 1,000 years ago 206 00:12:49,395 --> 00:12:52,496 really have constructed Kailasa Temple 207 00:12:52,598 --> 00:12:55,532 in only 18 years? 208 00:12:55,601 --> 00:13:00,303 And if so, how is it that all the rock that was excavated 209 00:13:00,406 --> 00:13:03,306 has simply disappeared? 210 00:13:04,877 --> 00:13:08,278 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining 211 00:13:08,380 --> 00:13:12,482 a powerful device described in the ancient Vedic texts. 212 00:13:14,019 --> 00:13:18,321 Interestingly, there is a device called Bhaumastra 213 00:13:18,424 --> 00:13:20,624 mentioned in the ancient Vedic texts. 214 00:13:20,692 --> 00:13:25,796 This high-tech machine would be able to quickly drill 215 00:13:25,898 --> 00:13:30,400 into the rock and basically vaporize them. 216 00:13:30,502 --> 00:13:35,138 This could basically change the rock into air. 217 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,108 This device was mentioned multiple times 218 00:13:38,210 --> 00:13:41,678 in ancient Vedic texts, which was used to mine 219 00:13:41,780 --> 00:13:43,647 for precious stones and metals. 220 00:13:43,715 --> 00:13:47,517 Could this be how Kailasa Temple was built? 221 00:13:47,619 --> 00:13:51,388 NARRATOR: Is it possible that the Bhaumastra machine 222 00:13:51,490 --> 00:13:53,723 described in the Vedic texts 223 00:13:53,792 --> 00:13:56,092 was really a technological device 224 00:13:56,161 --> 00:14:01,064 that existed on Earth thousands of years ago? 225 00:14:01,166 --> 00:14:04,201 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 226 00:14:04,269 --> 00:14:08,538 but suggest it was used not to build Kailasa Temple 227 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,943 from the top down, as mainstream scholars propose, 228 00:14:13,045 --> 00:14:16,413 but carved out the structure from the bottom up. 229 00:14:20,152 --> 00:14:21,651 One of the more mysterious aspects 230 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,688 of the site of Ellora 231 00:14:24,790 --> 00:14:29,559 are the tunnels that seem to go nowhere at the site. 232 00:14:29,628 --> 00:14:32,863 Some of them turn at odd angles. 233 00:14:32,965 --> 00:14:35,365 Some go as deep as 40 feet. 234 00:14:35,434 --> 00:14:38,735 Now the reasons for this are, for the most part, unknown. 235 00:14:38,837 --> 00:14:41,605 This is one of the tunnels 236 00:14:41,707 --> 00:14:44,207 leading underground at the Kailasa Temple. 237 00:14:44,276 --> 00:14:45,809 You can see that the local authorities 238 00:14:45,911 --> 00:14:47,210 have fenced this off. 239 00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:48,812 But if you look through this hole, 240 00:14:48,914 --> 00:14:53,216 you can see that this tunnel goes vertically down. 241 00:14:53,285 --> 00:14:57,687 Local authorities believe that tunnels like these 242 00:14:57,756 --> 00:15:02,259 lead to a vast underground city under Kailasa Temple. 243 00:15:04,196 --> 00:15:05,795 NARRATOR: What could be the purpose 244 00:15:05,898 --> 00:15:09,399 for these tunnels below Kailasa Temple? 245 00:15:09,468 --> 00:15:12,669 And why are they fenced off from the public? 246 00:15:15,374 --> 00:15:19,209 In 1876, renowned English spiritualist 247 00:15:19,311 --> 00:15:23,013 Emma Hardinge Britten published Ghost Land, 248 00:15:23,115 --> 00:15:25,482 in which she writes of hidden tunnels 249 00:15:25,584 --> 00:15:27,717 beneath the Ellora Caves 250 00:15:27,819 --> 00:15:30,687 and the meetings of a secret cabal of mystics 251 00:15:30,756 --> 00:15:33,023 in an underground city. 252 00:15:33,125 --> 00:15:37,727 Britten tells of spiritually contacting a mysterious figure 253 00:15:37,829 --> 00:15:39,362 named Cavalier Louie, 254 00:15:39,464 --> 00:15:42,599 who witnessed the clandestine society. 255 00:15:42,668 --> 00:15:46,603 LITTLE: Cavalier Louie states that he was taken 256 00:15:46,672 --> 00:15:50,874 into the site of Ellora, where he was led through 257 00:15:50,943 --> 00:15:55,445 a secret passageway into an underground chamber. 258 00:15:55,514 --> 00:16:00,483 The underground chamber opened up into a huge amphitheater, 259 00:16:00,586 --> 00:16:05,055 and there were these wondrous metallic thrones 260 00:16:05,157 --> 00:16:09,926 that were being charged with powerful galvanic batteries 261 00:16:10,028 --> 00:16:13,296 that rose up into the air. 262 00:16:13,398 --> 00:16:14,831 And seated on these thrones 263 00:16:14,933 --> 00:16:19,502 were seven mysterious hooded figures. 264 00:16:19,605 --> 00:16:22,839 But the most interesting one 265 00:16:22,941 --> 00:16:25,909 was the one in the center who spoke, 266 00:16:25,978 --> 00:16:29,079 and yet was not always there. 267 00:16:29,147 --> 00:16:33,083 His body shimmered in and out of physical space and time. 268 00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:43,994 NARRATOR: But why would vast rooms and tunnels exist 269 00:16:44,062 --> 00:16:47,597 deep underground beneath Kailasa Temple? 270 00:16:49,901 --> 00:16:52,636 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 271 00:16:52,704 --> 00:16:55,739 this could be further evidence that Lord Shiva 272 00:16:55,807 --> 00:16:59,075 has a connection with the Great Flood. 273 00:17:02,347 --> 00:17:04,948 CHILDRESS: We have a great deluge 274 00:17:05,050 --> 00:17:07,851 that changed the face of the Earth 275 00:17:07,953 --> 00:17:11,788 and forced people underground. 276 00:17:11,890 --> 00:17:14,157 So you have to wonder, 277 00:17:14,259 --> 00:17:17,327 is this some kind of ancient city, 278 00:17:17,429 --> 00:17:19,362 many thousands of years old, 279 00:17:19,464 --> 00:17:22,999 that was once some kind of extraterrestrial base? 280 00:17:23,101 --> 00:17:25,802 And as the water receded, 281 00:17:25,904 --> 00:17:28,805 they create this temple from underground. 282 00:17:31,810 --> 00:17:34,944 Presently, archaeologists date the Kailasa Temple 283 00:17:35,013 --> 00:17:37,881 from the fifth to the tenth century AD. 284 00:17:37,983 --> 00:17:40,517 But there is nothing in the temple 285 00:17:40,619 --> 00:17:42,819 that really gives it a date. 286 00:17:42,921 --> 00:17:46,489 And, in fact, like many things in ancient India, 287 00:17:46,558 --> 00:17:48,391 and-and around the world, 288 00:17:48,460 --> 00:17:51,961 uh, these temples may be much, much older 289 00:17:52,064 --> 00:17:55,165 than the mainstream archeologists are saying. 290 00:17:59,571 --> 00:18:02,472 NARRATOR: Could it be that hidden beneath Kailasa Temple 291 00:18:02,574 --> 00:18:05,008 is an underground alien city? 292 00:18:07,012 --> 00:18:11,581 And if so, would this prove that the being Hindus call Shiva 293 00:18:11,650 --> 00:18:14,417 was really an extraterrestrial visitor 294 00:18:14,486 --> 00:18:18,988 who gave technology to an earlier race of humans 295 00:18:19,091 --> 00:18:22,525 and ultimately destroyed them? 296 00:18:22,627 --> 00:18:25,028 Perhaps further clues can be found 297 00:18:25,130 --> 00:18:27,664 by examining a sacred icon 298 00:18:27,766 --> 00:18:30,500 believed to hold extraordinary power. 299 00:18:35,474 --> 00:18:37,040 McGOWAN: The Shiva Linga stone 300 00:18:37,142 --> 00:18:39,642 actually can be a force for incredible destruction. 301 00:18:39,745 --> 00:18:42,846 HENRY: We're dealing with some kind of cosmic power 302 00:18:42,948 --> 00:18:44,514 that we didn't fully understand 303 00:18:44,583 --> 00:18:47,317 until the discovery of nuclear fission. 304 00:18:51,847 --> 00:18:54,081 NARRATOR Sirsi, India. 305 00:18:54,150 --> 00:18:56,750 Ten miles outside of this city, 306 00:18:56,852 --> 00:18:59,019 in the southwestern state of Karnataka, 307 00:18:59,121 --> 00:19:00,955 within the river Shalmala, 308 00:19:01,057 --> 00:19:05,159 is one of the country's most popular pilgrimage sites, 309 00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:07,328 Sahasralinga. 310 00:19:09,332 --> 00:19:12,099 Hidden under these waters for most of the year 311 00:19:12,201 --> 00:19:16,203 lie stone sculptures known as Shiva Lingams. 312 00:19:16,305 --> 00:19:19,506 These sacred idols are representations 313 00:19:19,609 --> 00:19:22,009 of the god Shiva, 314 00:19:22,078 --> 00:19:25,279 and are visible to thousands of pilgrims once a year 315 00:19:25,348 --> 00:19:28,682 at the festival of Maha Shivaratri. 316 00:19:28,784 --> 00:19:31,018 Maha Shivaratri is a festival 317 00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:36,190 where Shiva is worshipped for his great nature. 318 00:19:36,259 --> 00:19:40,628 Maha Shivaratri is usually held in the end of February 319 00:19:40,730 --> 00:19:41,929 or beginning of March. 320 00:19:41,998 --> 00:19:43,564 During that month, 321 00:19:43,633 --> 00:19:47,868 the water level of the Shalmala River drops down 322 00:19:47,970 --> 00:19:52,740 so that all the Shiva Lingas are exposed. 323 00:19:52,808 --> 00:19:55,676 LITTLE: Shiva's depicted as the Shiva Linga, 324 00:19:55,778 --> 00:19:58,078 as kind of a spherical column, 325 00:19:58,180 --> 00:20:02,616 the flaming pillar that is the cosmic axis of the universe. 326 00:20:04,987 --> 00:20:08,722 Every Shiva Linga that's in worship is set into a yoni. 327 00:20:08,824 --> 00:20:11,058 This is a-a special base, 328 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,895 and it actually serves kind of a utility of function. 329 00:20:14,997 --> 00:20:16,864 It's a spout so that when you pour offerings 330 00:20:16,966 --> 00:20:21,769 over the surface of the linga, they wash over the sacred body. 331 00:20:21,837 --> 00:20:26,607 Images of the Shiva Linga are found throughout Southeast Asia, 332 00:20:26,709 --> 00:20:29,009 even in parts of East Asia. 333 00:20:29,111 --> 00:20:32,046 Sometimes images of Shiva as the lingam 334 00:20:32,114 --> 00:20:36,817 also made its way into China and into Japan. 335 00:20:40,823 --> 00:20:45,025 NARRATOR: The Shiva Lingam first appeared over 2,000 years ago, 336 00:20:45,127 --> 00:20:48,295 and there is still debate over what this shape 337 00:20:48,397 --> 00:20:51,565 was originally meant to symbolize. 338 00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:54,635 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest 339 00:20:54,737 --> 00:20:56,737 that the icon may represent 340 00:20:56,839 --> 00:21:00,474 an incredibly powerful technological device. 341 00:21:04,046 --> 00:21:05,279 Paris, France. 342 00:21:05,381 --> 00:21:07,014 1900. 343 00:21:07,116 --> 00:21:10,884 At the Paris Congress of History of Religions, 344 00:21:10,953 --> 00:21:14,021 Swami Vivekananda, a scientist and monk 345 00:21:14,123 --> 00:21:17,791 credited with popularizing Hinduism in the West, 346 00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:22,863 gives a lecture addressing the meaning of the Shiva Lingam. 347 00:21:22,965 --> 00:21:25,733 HENRY: For centuries, Western scholars have assumed 348 00:21:25,835 --> 00:21:29,103 that the Shiva Linga has purely a sexual connotation. 349 00:21:29,205 --> 00:21:31,171 The cylinder is the male phallic symbol 350 00:21:31,273 --> 00:21:34,074 and the yoni is the complimentary female symbol. 351 00:21:34,143 --> 00:21:37,478 Then in 1900, the Hindu scholar Swami Vivekananda 352 00:21:37,580 --> 00:21:40,147 came to Paris to deliver a major lecture 353 00:21:40,216 --> 00:21:42,116 about Hinduism and symbolism. 354 00:21:42,218 --> 00:21:44,718 During this lecture, he said that the Shiva Linga 355 00:21:44,787 --> 00:21:48,589 actually symbolizes the coming in or going out 356 00:21:48,691 --> 00:21:52,826 of the divine manifesting energy of Shiva. 357 00:21:52,928 --> 00:21:55,329 SHIMKHADA: It stands for energy. 358 00:21:55,431 --> 00:21:58,332 And it has often been misrepresented in the West 359 00:21:58,434 --> 00:22:01,769 that it is simply a phallic symbol of Shiva, 360 00:22:01,871 --> 00:22:03,036 which is not the case. 361 00:22:03,105 --> 00:22:04,872 It is obviously a pillar. 362 00:22:04,974 --> 00:22:08,275 "Linga" means a pillar. 363 00:22:08,344 --> 00:22:10,277 Modern Hindu scholars have theorized 364 00:22:10,346 --> 00:22:12,413 that the Shiva Linga stone 365 00:22:12,515 --> 00:22:14,782 actually represents atomic energy. 366 00:22:16,886 --> 00:22:20,454 When we think about this idea of what atomic energy can do, 367 00:22:20,523 --> 00:22:22,322 how it can be used for good but it can be 368 00:22:22,425 --> 00:22:23,991 extraordinarily destructive, 369 00:22:24,059 --> 00:22:26,360 this certainly pertains to the mythology of Shiva, 370 00:22:26,429 --> 00:22:30,697 who is chaotic energy, who is a force for incredible good, 371 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,434 but also a force for incredible destruction. 372 00:22:37,072 --> 00:22:40,374 NARRATOR: Is it possible that this symbol of Shiva's power 373 00:22:40,443 --> 00:22:43,911 actually represents atomic energy? 374 00:22:43,979 --> 00:22:47,114 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 375 00:22:47,183 --> 00:22:49,450 and suggest the proof can be found 376 00:22:49,552 --> 00:22:53,187 by examining this mysterious shape. 377 00:22:53,255 --> 00:22:56,356 MOHAN: The cylindrical structure of the Shiva Linga 378 00:22:56,459 --> 00:23:01,728 is similar or almost identical to a modern-day nuclear reactor. 379 00:23:03,966 --> 00:23:06,200 And the groove that surrounds the base 380 00:23:06,268 --> 00:23:07,801 represents the structures 381 00:23:07,903 --> 00:23:10,904 built to dispose of the polluted water. 382 00:23:12,808 --> 00:23:15,442 In ancient times and even today, 383 00:23:15,544 --> 00:23:18,745 Hindus pour water or milk on top of Shiva Linga 384 00:23:18,814 --> 00:23:21,215 as a ritual. 385 00:23:21,283 --> 00:23:27,087 Today we pour water over the top of nuclear reactor to cool it. 386 00:23:29,425 --> 00:23:33,260 And interestingly, most Shiva temples 387 00:23:33,362 --> 00:23:36,129 are always found near water bodies, 388 00:23:36,198 --> 00:23:41,401 like rivers or lakes, just like nuclear power plants. 389 00:23:41,470 --> 00:23:44,905 So is it possible that Shiva Linga 390 00:23:44,974 --> 00:23:49,209 actually represents an ancient nuclear power plant? 391 00:23:53,916 --> 00:23:56,149 HENRY: In the story of Shiva and the Shiva Linga, 392 00:23:56,218 --> 00:23:58,819 we're obviously dealing with some kind of a universal 393 00:23:58,921 --> 00:24:02,256 or cosmic power that we didn't fully understand 394 00:24:02,358 --> 00:24:03,991 until the 20th century, 395 00:24:04,093 --> 00:24:07,895 with the discovery of nuclear power and nuclear fission. 396 00:24:07,997 --> 00:24:11,865 These discoveries that predate modern man 397 00:24:11,934 --> 00:24:15,502 are completely changing our conception of the ancient past 398 00:24:15,571 --> 00:24:19,339 and connecting us to the true history of humanity, 399 00:24:19,408 --> 00:24:21,842 all before the time of the flood. 400 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,480 NARRATOR: Does the Shiva Lingam
