00:00:09,481 A once-thriving metropolis now 4 00:00:09,516 --> 00:00:12,651 half a mile under the sea... 5 00:00:12,685 --> 00:00:15,454 Lost cities submerged for 6 00:00:15,488 --> 00:00:18,457 thousands of years... 7 00:00:18,525 --> 00:00:19,892 David Childress: All over the 8 00:00:19,926 --> 00:00:21,460 world, there are sunken cities. 9 00:00:21,494 --> 00:00:23,095 There's more than 200 known 10 00:00:23,129 --> 00:00:24,029 sunken cities in the 11 00:00:24,097 --> 00:00:26,632 Mediterranean alone. 12 00:00:26,666 --> 00:00:27,933 Graham Hancock: What we're 13 00:00:27,967 --> 00:00:29,301 looking at are the remains of 14 00:00:29,369 --> 00:00:32,070 cities at a time when mainstream 15 00:00:32,105 --> 00:00:33,639 archeology tells us there were 16 00:00:33,673 --> 00:00:35,107 no cities, uh, anywhere in the 17 00:00:35,175 --> 00:00:36,542 world. 18 00:00:36,576 --> 00:00:38,076 Narrator: Are underwater 19 00:00:38,111 --> 00:00:40,078 monuments examples of mankind's 20 00:00:40,113 --> 00:00:41,813 earliest civilizations? 21 00:00:41,848 --> 00:00:44,917 Or is there evidence of skills 22 00:00:44,951 --> 00:00:46,485 far beyond that of primitive 23 00:00:46,519 --> 00:00:49,254 man? 24 00:00:49,322 --> 00:00:51,056 And if so, where did it 25 00:00:51,124 --> 00:00:51,790 come from? 26 00:00:51,824 --> 00:00:52,758 Giorgio Tsoulakos: The native 27 00:00:52,792 --> 00:00:55,427 legends are very clear... that 28 00:00:55,495 --> 00:00:58,063 something or someone landed, 29 00:00:58,097 --> 00:01:00,232 and then, knowledge, all of a 30 00:01:00,266 --> 00:01:01,767 sudden, spread. 31 00:01:01,801 --> 00:01:02,868 Jorge Luis Delgado Mamani: 32 00:01:02,902 --> 00:01:04,236 There is many, many legends 33 00:01:04,304 --> 00:01:06,605 with lights coming from under 34 00:01:06,673 --> 00:01:08,073 the water. 35 00:01:08,107 --> 00:01:09,241 Childress: You start to get 36 00:01:09,309 --> 00:01:11,076 the idea that there's some kind 37 00:01:11,110 --> 00:01:14,079 of ancient alien underwater 38 00:01:14,147 --> 00:01:15,414 base... 39 00:01:15,448 --> 00:01:17,049 Narrator: Millions of people 40 00:01:17,116 --> 00:01:18,784 around the world believe we 41 00:01:18,851 --> 00:01:20,485 have been visited in the past 42 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,554 by extraterrestrial beings. 43 00:01:22,589 --> 00:01:25,290 What if it were true? 44 00:01:25,325 --> 00:01:28,126 Did ancient aliens really help 45 00:01:28,161 --> 00:01:30,829 to shape our history? 46 00:01:30,863 --> 00:01:33,665 If so, what evidence lies deep 47 00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,368 underwater? 48 00:01:36,969 --> 00:01:42,164 Sync by n17t01 www.addic7ed.com 49 00:02:05,698 --> 00:02:07,299 Narrator: Covering more than 50 00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,935 71% of the planet, the Earth's 51 00:02:10,003 --> 00:02:12,104 oceans are a vast and largely 52 00:02:12,171 --> 00:02:14,439 unexplored mystery. 53 00:02:14,474 --> 00:02:17,643 For most of recorded history, 54 00:02:17,677 --> 00:02:20,112 man could only guess at what 55 00:02:20,146 --> 00:02:22,114 lay beneath the ocean's surface. 56 00:02:22,181 --> 00:02:24,483 But new technologies are 57 00:02:24,517 --> 00:02:26,485 reaching new depths. 58 00:02:26,552 --> 00:02:28,387 Researchers around the world 59 00:02:28,421 --> 00:02:30,656 are finding the unexpected... 60 00:02:30,723 --> 00:02:33,525 underwater complexes and 61 00:02:33,559 --> 00:02:35,093 sophisticated monuments that 62 00:02:35,161 --> 00:02:36,395 defy the conventional 63 00:02:36,429 --> 00:02:39,197 historical record. 64 00:02:39,198 --> 00:02:41,366 Michael Cremo: There are 65 00:02:41,401 --> 00:02:45,103 remains of urban civilizations 66 00:02:45,171 --> 00:02:48,106 on parts of the Earth that were 67 00:02:48,174 --> 00:02:51,643 exposed on land 10,000 and 68 00:02:51,678 --> 00:03:05,257 more years ago. 69 00:03:05,325 --> 00:03:07,159 Possible. 70 00:03:07,193 --> 00:03:09,528 Narrator: Scientific theory 71 00:03:09,562 --> 00:03:12,331 suggests that during Earth's 72 00:03:12,398 --> 00:03:14,700 last Ice Age, ocean levels were 73 00:03:14,734 --> 00:03:16,134 once much lower than they are 74 00:03:16,169 --> 00:03:18,136 today. 75 00:03:18,171 --> 00:03:19,538 Hancock: You have to envisage 76 00:03:19,605 --> 00:03:21,239 a world in which there are two 77 00:03:21,274 --> 00:03:23,975 mile-deep ice caps sitting on 78 00:03:24,043 --> 00:03:26,411 top of northern Europe and 79 00:03:26,446 --> 00:03:28,246 North America, in which are 80 00:03:28,281 --> 00:03:30,148 accumulated enormous quantities 81 00:03:30,216 --> 00:03:32,284 of water. 82 00:03:32,285 --> 00:03:34,519 And we know that this water 83 00:03:34,587 --> 00:03:37,522 began to melt about 21,000 years 84 00:03:37,590 --> 00:03:40,325 ago, and finished melting about 85 00:03:40,393 --> 00:03:43,161 10,000 years ago. 86 00:03:43,196 --> 00:03:44,896 Narrator: As a result, rich 87 00:03:44,964 --> 00:03:46,531 coastal lands were slowly 88 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:49,234 submerged by rising sea levels. 89 00:03:49,268 --> 00:03:50,802 Hancock: Ten million square 90 00:03:50,870 --> 00:03:53,238 miles of land was flooded all 91 00:03:53,306 --> 00:03:54,706 around the world. 92 00:03:54,774 --> 00:03:55,874 That's roughly the size of 93 00:03:55,942 --> 00:03:57,976 Europe and China added 94 00:03:58,044 --> 00:03:59,711 together... were just rubbed 95 00:03:59,779 --> 00:04:01,780 from the record. 96 00:04:01,781 --> 00:04:03,982 They just disappear from 97 00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:05,150 the story. 98 00:04:05,218 --> 00:04:06,752 And in my opinion, archeology 99 00:04:06,786 --> 00:04:08,420 is not doing enough work to 100 00:04:08,488 --> 00:04:09,755 investigate those lost and 101 00:04:09,789 --> 00:04:12,157 submerged lands. 102 00:04:12,225 --> 00:04:13,425 Narrator: While much of the 103 00:04:13,459 --> 00:04:14,426 ocean's floor remains 104 00:04:14,494 --> 00:04:16,862 unexplored, for thousands of 105 00:04:16,896 --> 00:04:18,430 years, philosophers and 106 00:04:18,464 --> 00:04:20,499 scientists have been drawn to 107 00:04:20,566 --> 00:04:21,933 one of the greatest mysteries 108 00:04:21,968 --> 00:04:24,569 of the sea, the legend of the 109 00:04:24,604 --> 00:04:26,571 lost city of Atlantis. 110 00:04:28,808 --> 00:04:30,776 Childress: It's been said 111 00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:32,744 that more books have been 112 00:04:32,779 --> 00:04:35,414 written about Atlantis than any 113 00:04:35,448 --> 00:04:37,416 other subject. 114 00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:39,251 But most of what we know comes 115 00:04:39,318 --> 00:04:40,385 from the Greek philosopher 116 00:04:40,420 --> 00:04:43,221 Plato, who wrote two books about 117 00:04:43,256 --> 00:04:44,589 Atlantis, the Timaeus and the 118 00:04:44,624 --> 00:04:46,625 Critias. 119 00:04:46,626 --> 00:04:48,427 >> Narrator: Written in 360 BC, 120 00:04:48,461 --> 00:04:50,762 Plato described Atlantis as a 121 00:04:50,797 --> 00:04:53,231 highly advanced city, ringed by 122 00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:54,933 concentric walls, which 123 00:04:54,967 --> 00:04:56,935 flourished 9,000 years before 124 00:04:56,969 --> 00:04:58,470 his own time. 125 00:04:58,504 --> 00:05:01,473 >> Cremo: There are descriptions 126 00:05:01,507 --> 00:05:05,610 of huge palaces for kings. 127 00:05:05,678 --> 00:05:09,114 It's stated that Atlantis had 128 00:05:09,148 --> 00:05:11,850 huge naval forces, which it 129 00:05:11,884 --> 00:05:13,752 used to conquer other parts of 130 00:05:13,786 --> 00:05:15,020 the world. 131 00:05:15,054 --> 00:05:17,956 It was an urban civilization. 132 00:05:18,024 --> 00:05:21,126 According to the ancient Greek 133 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,229 texts, Atlantis was connected 134 00:05:24,297 --> 00:05:26,231 with extraterrestrials from the 135 00:05:26,299 --> 00:05:27,132 beginning. 136 00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:29,334 It was founded by the Greek god 137 00:05:29,402 --> 00:05:32,838 Poseidon. 138 00:05:32,872 --> 00:05:36,308 Poseidon can be regarded as an 139 00:05:36,375 --> 00:05:38,677 extraterrestrial in the sense 140 00:05:38,711 --> 00:05:42,747 of not being of this Earth. 141 00:05:42,748 --> 00:05:45,016 >> Erich Von Daniken: Poseidon, 142 00:05:45,051 --> 00:05:46,485 one of the extraterrestrial, 143 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,554 found a pretty, wonderful, young 144 00:05:49,589 --> 00:05:51,857 woman-girl on Earth. 145 00:05:51,858 --> 00:05:53,458 And he took this woman-girl, 146 00:05:53,493 --> 00:05:55,494 made her pregnant. 147 00:05:55,561 --> 00:05:58,029 And to protect his new family, 148 00:05:58,097 --> 00:06:01,032 he founded Atlantis. 149 00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:02,667 >> Narrator: According to the 150 00:06:02,735 --> 00:06:04,769 legend, after a failed attempt 151 00:06:04,837 --> 00:06:06,872 to invade Athens, disaster 152 00:06:06,906 --> 00:06:08,673 struck the island. 153 00:06:08,741 --> 00:06:10,041 >> Childress: According to 154 00:06:10,076 --> 00:06:12,410 Plato, Atlantis was destroyed in 155 00:06:12,445 --> 00:06:14,045 a day and a night... 156 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,414 (thunder booms) 157 00:06:16,449 --> 00:06:19,317 (waves crashing) 158 00:06:19,352 --> 00:06:21,753 ...a cataclysmic destruction 159 00:06:21,787 --> 00:06:24,556 that sank the entire island and 160 00:06:24,590 --> 00:06:26,758 its capital city. 161 00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,294 Some researchers believe that 162 00:06:29,362 --> 00:06:32,030 the Atlantians somehow 163 00:06:32,098 --> 00:06:35,100 destroyed themselves. 164 00:06:35,101 --> 00:06:36,401 >> Narrator: According to Plato, 165 00:06:36,435 --> 00:06:38,670 Atlantis was located in front 166 00:06:38,738 --> 00:06:40,405 of the Pillars of Hercules, a 167 00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:42,607 location beyond what some 168 00:06:42,675 --> 00:06:44,342 scholars attribute to modern 169 00:06:44,410 --> 00:06:45,610 Gibraltar. 170 00:06:45,645 --> 00:06:46,511 >> Childress: And to the 171 00:06:46,579 --> 00:06:48,079 ancients, as they left the 172 00:06:48,147 --> 00:06:50,782 Mediterranean Sea to go into the 173 00:06:50,816 --> 00:06:55,120 larger Atlantic Ocean, this was 174 00:06:55,154 --> 00:06:57,055 where they went beyond the 175 00:06:57,123 --> 00:06:58,790 Pillars of Hercules between 176 00:06:58,824 --> 00:07:00,258 Spain and Morocco. 177 00:07:00,293 --> 00:07:02,661 >> Narrator: Across the 178 00:07:02,695 --> 00:07:04,529 Atlantic lies the island chain 179 00:07:04,597 --> 00:07:06,798 of the Bahamas, just southeast 180 00:07:06,866 --> 00:07:09,601 of Florida. 181 00:07:09,635 --> 00:07:12,604 Here in 1968, archaeologist 182 00:07:12,672 --> 00:07:15,407 J. Manson Valentine believed he 183 00:07:15,441 --> 00:07:17,142 found part of Atlantis when he 184 00:07:17,176 --> 00:07:18,977 discovered an unusual rock 185 00:07:19,045 --> 00:07:20,412 formation off the coast of 186 00:07:20,446 --> 00:07:23,148 North Bimini Island. 187 00:07:23,182 --> 00:07:25,116 >> John Van Auken: It's only in 188 00:07:25,151 --> 00:07:27,052 about 12 to 18 feet of water, so 189 00:07:27,119 --> 00:07:29,588 you can, uh, view it easily. 190 00:07:29,622 --> 00:07:31,890 At first, scientists thought 191 00:07:31,958 --> 00:07:34,426 this was just beach rock, but 192 00:07:34,460 --> 00:07:36,161 then several other scientists 193 00:07:36,195 --> 00:07:38,430 exploring the Bimini Road 194 00:07:38,464 --> 00:07:40,131 noticed that the beach rock was 195 00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:41,666 on top of other beach rock, 196 00:07:41,701 --> 00:07:43,501 with balancing stones wedged in 197 00:07:43,569 --> 00:07:44,903 between. 198 00:07:44,904 --> 00:07:46,972 And nature doesn't do that; man 199 00:07:47,006 --> 00:07:48,506 does. 200 00:07:48,541 --> 00:07:50,475 And they realized this is a 201 00:07:50,509 --> 00:07:52,210 harbor, a breakwater for a 202 00:07:52,244 --> 00:07:54,512 harbor. 203 00:07:54,513 --> 00:07:56,514 From the shallow edges of 204 00:07:56,582 --> 00:07:59,050 Bimini all the way to the Gulf 205 00:07:59,085 --> 00:08:01,486 Stream in 300 feet of water, we 206 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,588 have found many fascinating 207 00:08:03,656 --> 00:08:06,424 complexities that look like 208 00:08:06,492 --> 00:08:08,326 remnants of ancient cities or 209 00:08:08,361 --> 00:08:11,429 structures... roads, pathways, 210 00:08:11,497 --> 00:08:13,865 structures covered in coral. 211 00:08:13,933 --> 00:08:15,967 >> Narrator: Could the Bimini 212 00:08:16,035 --> 00:08:18,670 ruins be remnants of Atlantis? 213 00:08:18,704 --> 00:08:20,872 And if so, could these roads 214 00:08:20,906 --> 00:08:22,774 lead to other sites buried 215 00:08:22,842 --> 00:08:26,311 under sand and water? 216 00:08:26,345 --> 00:08:28,780 In the year 2000, while mapping 217 00:08:28,848 --> 00:08:30,482 the seafloor off the western 218 00:08:30,516 --> 00:08:32,517 coast of Cuba, a research 219 00:08:32,585 --> 00:08:34,152 expedition led by 220 00:08:34,186 --> 00:08:35,687 Russian-Canadian oceanographer 221 00:08:35,755 --> 00:08:37,222 Paulina Zelitsky spotted 222 00:08:37,256 --> 00:08:39,557 symmetrical stone structures 223 00:08:39,592 --> 00:08:41,192 deep below the water. 224 00:08:41,227 --> 00:08:43,495 Remarkably, they were over a 225 00:08:43,529 --> 00:08:44,929 half mile down. 226 00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:46,097 >> Paulina Zelitsky: Divers 227 00:08:46,132 --> 00:08:47,666 cannot do this kind of, uh, 228 00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:49,501 investigation, so we have to 229 00:08:49,535 --> 00:08:52,470 use remote operating vehicle. 230 00:08:52,505 --> 00:08:53,838 And this vehicle is equipped 231 00:08:53,906 --> 00:08:55,473 with video cameras and 232 00:08:55,508 --> 00:08:57,475 manipulators. 233 00:08:57,510 --> 00:08:59,644 And it controlled, uh, from the 234 00:08:59,712 --> 00:09:02,447 deck of the ship. 235 00:09:02,481 --> 00:09:04,883 >> Narrator: The expedition was 236 00:09:04,917 --> 00:09:07,519 also armed with side-scan sonar 237 00:09:07,553 --> 00:09:10,021 equipment used to create images 238 00:09:10,089 --> 00:09:11,823 of large areas of the sea floor 239 00:09:11,891 --> 00:09:14,059 and underwater objects. 240 00:09:14,093 --> 00:09:15,460 >> Zelitsky: I was in control 241 00:09:15,528 --> 00:09:17,062 room on board of the ship, and 242 00:09:17,096 --> 00:09:19,464 we were receiving that image 243 00:09:19,532 --> 00:09:21,066 coming from side-scan. 244 00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,534 And this is just one of the 245 00:09:22,568 --> 00:09:24,002 many other images that we were 246 00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:27,806 obtaining of, the 80, uh, 247 00:09:27,873 --> 00:09:32,043 structures made of large stones 248 00:09:32,078 --> 00:09:35,680 placed one on top of another. 249 00:09:38,084 --> 00:09:39,050 >> Linda Moulton Howe: Well, 250 00:09:39,085 --> 00:09:40,685 what do they end up with? 251 00:09:40,753 --> 00:09:44,756 It is an image that shows these 252 00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:47,792 rectangular 90-degree angles, 253 00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:50,862 over and over and over, on very 254 00:09:50,930 --> 00:09:52,497 large structures that seemed to 255 00:09:52,565 --> 00:09:54,566 have wide avenues. 256 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,934 >> Narrator: The exploration 257 00:09:55,968 --> 00:09:58,336 found huge stone blocks in 258 00:09:58,370 --> 00:10:00,839 pyramid shapes, others more 259 00:10:00,873 --> 00:10:02,040 circular. 260 00:10:02,074 --> 00:10:04,676 Most were gigantic, reaching 16 261 00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:06,511 feet in height and weighing 262 00:10:06,545 --> 00:10:08,313 several tons. 263 00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:11,516 30 geometric structures emerged, 264 00:10:11,584 --> 00:10:13,518 appearing to be the remains of 265 00:10:13,552 --> 00:10:15,887 streets, buildings, tunnels and 266 00:10:15,955 --> 00:10:18,490 pyramids, all at a depth of 267 00:10:18,524 --> 00:10:21,593 2,200 feet below the surface of 268 00:10:21,627 --> 00:10:23,695 the water. 269 00:10:23,763 --> 00:10:24,763 >> Andrew Collins: We might well 270 00:10:24,797 --> 00:10:27,565 have here the evidence of a 271 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,034 prehistoric culture that would 272 00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:31,669 probably go back tens of 273 00:10:31,704 --> 00:10:33,338 thousands of years, and that's 274 00:10:33,405 --> 00:10:36,975 very exciting indeed. 275 00:10:36,976 --> 00:10:37,942 >> Narrator: Using dating 276 00:10:37,977 --> 00:10:40,145 techniques based on the presence 277 00:10:40,179 --> 00:10:42,380 of nearby volcanic ash, 278 00:10:42,414 --> 00:10:43,948 geologists estimated the 279 00:10:44,016 --> 00:10:46,518 underwater city sank over 6,000 280 00:10:46,585 --> 00:10:48,520 years ago. 281 00:10:48,587 --> 00:10:50,755 >> Howe: Could this be, a half 282 00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:53,224 mile down, some part of the 283 00:10:53,292 --> 00:10:56,928 sunken Atlantis from 9,000, 284 00:10:56,962 --> 00:10:58,196 10,000 yrs ago that Plato 285 00:10:58,230 --> 00:11:00,932 talked about? 286 00:11:00,966 --> 00:11:02,100 >> Collins: Well, the Atlantis 287 00:11:02,134 --> 00:11:04,569 myth is integrally related with 288 00:11:04,603 --> 00:11:06,104 the area of the Caribbean and 289 00:11:06,172 --> 00:11:09,274 the Bahamas, in particular Cuba. 290 00:11:09,308 --> 00:11:10,375 Plato talks about an island 291 00:11:10,409 --> 00:11:11,543 empire. 292 00:11:11,577 --> 00:11:12,610 He's probably talking about 293 00:11:12,645 --> 00:11:14,546 dozens of different islands of 294 00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:16,881 different sizes, not just in the 295 00:11:16,916 --> 00:11:19,751 western Atlantic, but probably 296 00:11:19,785 --> 00:11:20,852 stretching out right into the 297 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,887 central Atlantic area. 298 00:11:22,922 --> 00:11:24,923 >> Narrator: Both the Cuban and 299 00:11:24,990 --> 00:11:26,825 the Bahaman ruins lie on the 300 00:11:26,859 --> 00:11:28,626 western edge of the Bermuda 301 00:11:28,661 --> 00:11:31,196 Triangle, an area of ocean 302 00:11:31,263 --> 00:11:33,932 covering over 500,000 square 303 00:11:33,999 --> 00:11:36,100 miles, known for magnetic 304 00:11:36,168 --> 00:11:38,203 anomalies, extraterrestrial 305 00:11:38,270 --> 00:11:40,271 sightings and unexplained 306 00:11:40,339 --> 00:11:41,906 disappearances of aircraft and 307 00:11:41,941 --> 00:11:44,375 ships. 308 00:11:44,443 --> 00:11:45,743 Could there be a connection 309 00:11:45,811 --> 00:11:47,979 between Atlantis and the area 310 00:11:48,013 --> 00:11:51,349 known as the Devil's Triangle? 311 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:52,817 >> Bill Birnes: On the edge of 312 00:11:52,852 --> 00:11:55,553 the Bermuda Triangle, there are 313 00:11:55,621 --> 00:11:57,989 underwater ruins of the ancient 314 00:11:58,023 --> 00:11:59,624 city of Atlantis, the 315 00:11:59,658 --> 00:12:01,826 prehistoric city of Atlantis. 316 00:12:01,861 --> 00:12:03,561 So, yes, there is a theory that 317 00:12:03,629 --> 00:12:07,098 Atlantis lies, not near Greece, 318 00:12:07,132 --> 00:12:09,634 but in the Bermuda Triangle. 319 00:12:11,971 --> 00:12:13,171 >> Narrator: If Plato's texts 320 00:12:13,205 --> 00:12:15,607 are true, then other Greek myths 321 00:12:15,641 --> 00:12:17,008 may provide a hint of the true 322 00:12:17,076 --> 00:12:19,177 fate of Atlantis. 323 00:12:19,211 --> 00:12:21,279 One myth tells of the Titan 324 00:12:21,347 --> 00:12:25,617 goddess named Asteria, who fell 325 00:12:25,651 --> 00:12:26,818 from the sky and became an 326 00:12:26,886 --> 00:12:28,820 island. 327 00:12:28,888 --> 00:12:30,188 >> Tsoulakos: In ancient Greece, 328 00:12:30,222 --> 00:12:32,957 we have a number of myths which 329 00:12:32,992 --> 00:12:36,160 describe islands... bronze, 330 00:12:36,195 --> 00:12:38,630 gleaming islands... that fell 331 00:12:38,697 --> 00:12:40,698 from the sky and landed in 332 00:12:40,733 --> 00:12:42,233 water. 333 00:12:42,234 --> 00:12:44,636 I don't think that Atlantis, 334 00:12:44,670 --> 00:12:47,705 therefore, was an actual 335 00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:50,708 stationary, physical island. 336 00:12:50,743 --> 00:12:53,411 Atlantis, according to Plato, 337 00:12:53,445 --> 00:12:57,348 disappeared in one night with a 338 00:12:57,416 --> 00:13:00,218 lot of fire and a lot of smoke. 339 00:13:00,252 --> 00:13:02,520 See, I don't think that Atlantis 340 00:13:02,554 --> 00:13:03,521 sank. 341 00:13:03,555 --> 00:13:07,525 I think Atlantis lifted off. 342 00:13:12,398 --> 00:13:13,698 >> Narrator: Was Atlantis a safe 343 00:13:13,732 --> 00:13:16,067 haven for ancient aliens before 344 00:13:16,135 --> 00:13:18,703 the end of Earth's last Ice Age? 345 00:13:18,771 --> 00:13:21,973 And if so, could there be other 346 00:13:22,007 --> 00:13:23,908 alien cities submerged deep 347 00:13:23,976 --> 00:13:26,244 underwater? 348 00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:30,384 Narrator: Yonaguni, Japan. 349 00:13:30,419 --> 00:13:33,020 This small island is at the 350 00:13:33,088 --> 00:13:34,355 westernmost tip of the 351 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:38,192 Japanese archipelago. 352 00:13:38,226 --> 00:13:39,827 Scholars believe the first 353 00:13:39,861 --> 00:13:41,962 inhabitants migrated here from 354 00:13:42,030 --> 00:13:43,798 Southeast Asia during 355 00:13:43,832 --> 00:13:46,801 prehistoric times. 356 00:13:52,808 --> 00:13:56,844 In 1987, in nearby waters, dive 357 00:13:56,878 --> 00:14:00,114 tour orator Kihachiro Aratake 358 00:14:00,182 --> 00:14:03,351 made a shocking discovery. 359 00:14:03,385 --> 00:14:05,586 A massive complex of stone 360 00:14:05,654 --> 00:14:08,356 formations lay hidden a mere 60 361 00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:11,492 feet beneath the ocean surface. 362 00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:13,761 Experts call it one of the 363 00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:15,029 greatest discoveries in the 364 00:14:15,097 --> 00:14:16,030 history of underwater 365 00:14:16,098 --> 00:14:20,034 archeology. 366 00:14:22,104 --> 00:14:23,804 Hancock: What's intriguing 367 00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:26,807 about the complex at Yonaguni is 368 00:14:26,842 --> 00:14:28,376 that there are a whole range of 369 00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:29,910 monuments, pretty much side by 370 00:14:29,945 --> 00:14:32,580 side, and this, to my eye, looks 371 00:14:32,614 --> 00:14:34,815 unmistakably to be the work of 372 00:14:34,850 --> 00:14:36,384 human beings, not the random 373 00:14:36,451 --> 00:14:37,818 action of the ocean on 374 00:14:37,853 --> 00:14:41,822 differential layers of stone. 375 00:14:46,862 --> 00:14:48,396 Masaaki Kimura (translated): 376 00:14:48,463 --> 00:14:50,264 There are several reasons why I 377 00:14:50,298 --> 00:14:51,565 think this is not a natural 378 00:14:51,633 --> 00:14:53,167 formation. 379 00:14:53,201 --> 00:14:56,637 Some tools and engraved stones 380 00:14:56,671 --> 00:15:00,574 are found at the site. 381 00:15:00,609 --> 00:15:02,910 Because of these things, there 382 00:15:02,978 --> 00:15:04,545 is no doubt that this is made 383 00:15:04,579 --> 00:15:07,715 artificially. 384 00:15:07,749 --> 00:15:09,383 Narrator: Submerged beneath 385 00:15:09,418 --> 00:15:11,886 60 to 100 feet of water, the 386 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,287 largest of the underwater 387 00:15:13,321 --> 00:15:15,823 formations resemble a massive, 388 00:15:15,857 --> 00:15:18,192 five-layered stepped pyramid, 389 00:15:18,226 --> 00:15:21,929 the size of two football fields. 390 00:15:21,963 --> 00:15:22,930 David Wilcock: You see 391 00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:26,567 unambiguous carvings that 392 00:15:26,601 --> 00:15:29,703 clearly are geometric in nature, 393 00:15:29,738 --> 00:15:31,205 tons of right angles. 394 00:15:31,239 --> 00:15:32,840 We see channels that you can 395 00:15:32,908 --> 00:15:34,275 walk through with stairwells at 396 00:15:34,342 --> 00:15:35,376 the end that are perfectly 397 00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:37,978 rectangular in shape. 398 00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:38,913 Hancock: There are places 399 00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:40,881 where you find megaliths piled 400 00:15:40,916 --> 00:15:42,616 on top of one another to create 401 00:15:42,651 --> 00:15:44,919 a tunnel through which you can 402 00:15:44,986 --> 00:15:45,920 swim. 403 00:15:45,987 --> 00:15:47,621 There is a set of megaliths 404 00:15:47,656 --> 00:15:49,457 positioned side by side against 405 00:15:49,491 --> 00:15:51,625 the side of the cliff. 406 00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:53,461 There's a gigantic human face 407 00:15:53,528 --> 00:15:55,996 carved underwater. 408 00:15:56,031 --> 00:15:57,097 Kimura (translated): There is 409 00:15:57,165 --> 00:16:00,568 a stone that inscribes a big 410 00:16:00,635 --> 00:16:02,736 face, about seven meters in 411 00:16:02,804 --> 00:16:03,737 height. 412 00:16:03,805 --> 00:16:06,106 Our first impression was that it 413 00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:07,741 looked a lot like the Moai on 414 00:16:07,776 --> 00:16:11,445 Easter Island. 415 00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:13,180 Then we began to realize that 416 00:16:13,215 --> 00:16:15,082 it strongly resembled the sphinx 417 00:16:15,150 --> 00:16:17,284 which guarded the pyramids, and 418 00:16:17,319 --> 00:16:19,086 we wondered, "Is that the 419 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,454 function the face is serving 420 00:16:20,522 --> 00:16:21,455 "here?" 421 00:16:21,523 --> 00:16:23,190 Hancock: It's the whole 422 00:16:23,225 --> 00:16:24,692 combination of all these 423 00:16:24,726 --> 00:16:26,260 structures together which 424 00:16:26,294 --> 00:16:28,162 convinced me that we're looking 425 00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:31,165 at a... at a ceremonial complex. 426 00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,367 The mystery surrounding the 427 00:16:33,401 --> 00:16:35,469 Yonaguni underwater structure 428 00:16:35,504 --> 00:16:38,005 is, when did it go underwater? 429 00:16:38,073 --> 00:16:41,008 The geological evidence is that 430 00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:42,910 it was submerged during the 431 00:16:42,978 --> 00:16:46,914 meltdown of the last Ice Age. 432 00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:53,988 Tsoulakos: All around the 433 00:16:54,055 --> 00:16:56,190 world, whether it is France, 434 00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:59,994 India or Japan, there are 435 00:17:00,061 --> 00:17:01,996 man-made structures that lie 436 00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:03,731 underwater. 437 00:17:03,732 --> 00:17:05,966 Two ways how our ancestors could 438 00:17:06,001 --> 00:17:07,801 have done this. 439 00:17:07,836 --> 00:17:11,338 Either they had scuba gear... 440 00:17:11,373 --> 00:17:12,740 I don't think so... 441 00:17:12,774 --> 00:17:15,643 or this stuff was built when the 442 00:17:15,677 --> 00:17:19,079 ocean levels were lower, and 443 00:17:19,147 --> 00:17:22,383 that was over 14,000 years ago, 444 00:17:22,450 --> 00:17:24,618 and 14,000 years ago, according 445 00:17:24,686 --> 00:17:26,253 to mainstream archeology, we 446 00:17:26,288 --> 00:17:28,055 were just dwelling in caves, 447 00:17:28,123 --> 00:17:29,490 hunter-gatherers. 448 00:17:29,524 --> 00:17:31,225 Narrator: Could the Yonaguni 449 00:17:31,259 --> 00:17:32,326 structures have been built by 450 00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,929 such primitive people? 451 00:17:34,963 --> 00:17:37,064 And what evidence exists of 452 00:17:37,132 --> 00:17:38,132 the people who inhabited this 453 00:17:38,166 --> 00:17:40,200 island? 454 00:17:40,201 --> 00:17:41,435 Kimura (translated): Human 455 00:17:41,469 --> 00:17:43,771 fossils were found, so I'm sure 456 00:17:43,838 --> 00:17:45,072 there were people living on the 457 00:17:45,106 --> 00:17:47,441 island, but I'm not sure if they 458 00:17:47,475 --> 00:17:48,842 had the technology to create 459 00:17:48,910 --> 00:17:50,210 structures, or anything like 460 00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:52,279 this. 461 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,480 Hancock: It's not so much the 462 00:17:53,515 --> 00:17:54,848 question of could the stone have 463 00:17:54,916 --> 00:17:56,750 been chipped away and removed. 464 00:17:56,818 --> 00:17:59,119 It's a question of the vision, 465 00:17:59,154 --> 00:18:01,121 of the scale of the complex, 466 00:18:01,156 --> 00:18:03,557 of thinking in those kind of 467 00:18:03,592 --> 00:18:04,458 terms. 468 00:18:04,492 --> 00:18:06,560 And we know of no other, uh, 469 00:18:06,595 --> 00:18:08,262 Stone Age culture that thought 470 00:18:08,296 --> 00:18:10,297 in those kind of terms, of 471 00:18:10,365 --> 00:18:13,467 creating a gigantic, seemingly 472 00:18:13,501 --> 00:18:17,204 ceremonial complex. 473 00:18:17,272 --> 00:18:18,472 Narrator: If, according to 474 00:18:18,506 --> 00:18:20,641 scholars, the ancient Japanese 475 00:18:20,675 --> 00:18:22,276 people could not have built this 476 00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:24,912 monument, who did? 477 00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:28,115 And how did it get here? 478 00:18:28,116 --> 00:18:29,483 Birnes: The speculation is 479 00:18:29,517 --> 00:18:31,452 that extraterrestrials created 480 00:18:31,486 --> 00:18:33,253 the Yonaguni monument. 481 00:18:33,288 --> 00:18:34,755 The engineering is just beyond 482 00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:36,523 the capacity of Stone Age 483 00:18:36,558 --> 00:18:40,828 civilizations. 484 00:18:40,862 --> 00:18:42,162 Narrator: Ancient astronaut 485 00:18:42,197 --> 00:18:44,264 theorists also believe the key 486 00:18:44,299 --> 00:18:46,533 to the Yonaguni mystery is found 487 00:18:46,568 --> 00:18:51,105 in its global positioning. 488 00:18:51,139 --> 00:18:53,641 Strangely, the complex lies 489 00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:55,843 within an area of the Pacific 490 00:18:55,877 --> 00:18:57,344 long suspected of 491 00:18:57,379 --> 00:19:00,814 extraterrestrial activity. 492 00:19:00,882 --> 00:19:02,816 It's called the Dragon's 493 00:19:02,884 --> 00:19:06,353 Triangle. 494 00:19:06,388 --> 00:19:07,821 Wilcock: Just south of Japan, 495 00:19:07,889 --> 00:19:09,456 you have a mysterious area 496 00:19:09,491 --> 00:19:11,091 called the Dragon's Triangle, 497 00:19:11,159 --> 00:19:12,726 which is very similar to the 498 00:19:12,761 --> 00:19:13,727 Bermuda Triangle, because you 499 00:19:13,762 --> 00:19:15,629 have planes that have 500 00:19:15,664 --> 00:19:16,930 disappeared from the air, ships 501 00:19:16,998 --> 00:19:18,198 that have disappeared from the 502 00:19:18,233 --> 00:19:19,099 ocean. 503 00:19:19,167 --> 00:19:21,001 In fact, Japan had declared 504 00:19:21,036 --> 00:19:23,470 this a disaster area. 505 00:19:25,573 --> 00:19:28,175 Don't sail through it. 506 00:19:28,209 --> 00:19:29,910 Don't fly through it. 507 00:19:29,944 --> 00:19:31,812 Stay the heck away, because if 508 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,181 you go in there, terrible things 509 00:19:34,249 --> 00:19:36,183 can happen to you. 510 00:19:39,421 --> 00:19:41,155 Birnes: In ancient Japan, and 511 00:19:41,189 --> 00:19:42,456 even into the relatively modern 512 00:19:42,524 --> 00:19:44,358 era, there are stories about the 513 00:19:44,392 --> 00:19:46,527 Dragon Sea, in which objects 514 00:19:46,561 --> 00:19:48,195 rise out of the water and sail 515 00:19:48,263 --> 00:19:50,264 through the air. 516 00:19:50,265 --> 00:19:51,899 In ancient Japan, these were 517 00:19:51,966 --> 00:19:54,902 winged monsters breathing fire. 518 00:19:57,272 --> 00:19:59,173 In more modern times, these 519 00:19:59,207 --> 00:20:00,541 took on the appearance of actual 520 00:20:00,575 --> 00:20:01,508 machines. 521 00:20:01,543 --> 00:20:02,710 When you compare those 522 00:20:02,744 --> 00:20:06,180 descriptions of these devices 523 00:20:06,214 --> 00:20:07,815 with the description that 524 00:20:07,882 --> 00:20:10,784 Columbus gave of a craft nearing 525 00:20:10,819 --> 00:20:12,419 the Bermuda Triangle actually 526 00:20:12,454 --> 00:20:14,054 rising out of the water, a light 527 00:20:14,089 --> 00:20:15,723 that followed the ship, you 528 00:20:15,757 --> 00:20:17,691 realize there's a similarity in 529 00:20:17,726 --> 00:20:19,193 both of these locations to 530 00:20:19,227 --> 00:20:21,995 things, objects, that are in the 531 00:20:22,063 --> 00:20:24,164 water and rise out of the water 532 00:20:24,232 --> 00:20:26,533 and fly through the air. 533 00:20:26,601 --> 00:20:28,235 Narrator: But why are the two 534 00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:30,003 submerged structures found 535 00:20:30,071 --> 00:20:31,438 within the perimeter of these 536 00:20:31,506 --> 00:20:33,273 strange regions of the planet 537 00:20:33,341 --> 00:20:35,175 where so much unusual activity 538 00:20:35,243 --> 00:20:37,077 occurs? 539 00:20:37,112 --> 00:20:38,545 Is it coincidence that the 540 00:20:38,613 --> 00:20:40,547 Earth's 25th parallel north 541 00:20:40,582 --> 00:20:42,449 cuts through both the Bermuda 542 00:20:42,517 --> 00:20:44,351 Triangle and the Dragon's 543 00:20:44,419 --> 00:20:47,187 Triangle? 544 00:20:47,255 --> 00:20:48,889 Birnes: They lie on a plane 545 00:20:48,923 --> 00:20:50,958 along the same line, and both of 546 00:20:50,992 --> 00:20:53,627 them have the same magnetic 547 00:20:53,661 --> 00:20:56,730 phenomena, in which compass 548 00:20:56,765 --> 00:20:57,965 bearings are lost and 549 00:20:57,999 --> 00:21:00,768 instruments go down. 550 00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:03,003 People wonder if there's a real, 551 00:21:03,037 --> 00:21:06,039 strange UFO connection. 552 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,808 Gian Quasar: If UFO's and 553 00:21:07,842 --> 00:21:09,610 flying saucers do exist, then we 554 00:21:09,644 --> 00:21:11,078 should suspect that they could 555 00:21:11,146 --> 00:21:12,246 originally come from an ancient 556 00:21:12,313 --> 00:21:13,514 super civilization. 557 00:21:13,548 --> 00:21:14,948 It makes you wonder if flying 558 00:21:14,983 --> 00:21:16,617 saucers, UFO's, whatever you 559 00:21:16,684 --> 00:21:18,619 want to call them, actually use 560 00:21:18,653 --> 00:21:19,787 the area of the Triangle as 561 00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:21,255 their major base, and perhaps 562 00:21:21,289 --> 00:21:22,523 are even coming back to the 563 00:21:22,557 --> 00:21:24,258 remnants of a civilization that 564 00:21:24,292 --> 00:21:27,027 they were familiar with. 565 00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:28,328 Narrator: What if the sunken 566 00:21:28,363 --> 00:21:30,264 monuments at Yonaguni and near 567 00:21:30,298 --> 00:21:33,801 Cuba had alien origins? 568 00:21:33,835 --> 00:21:35,269 Might they have been used as 569 00:21:35,336 --> 00:21:37,504 alien bases? 570 00:21:37,539 --> 00:21:38,605 And if we believe 571 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,240 extraterrestrials functioned on 572 00:21:40,308 --> 00:21:42,342 land, could they have also 573 00:21:42,410 --> 00:21:44,778 functioned underwater? 574 00:21:44,813 --> 00:21:46,713 Could there be more evidence 575 00:21:46,748 --> 00:21:49,883 lying in the vast Pacific? 576 00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:54,080 Narrator: As an island 577 00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:55,715 nation, it should come as no 578 00:21:55,749 --> 00:21:57,550 mystery that much of Japan's 579 00:21:57,584 --> 00:21:59,318 rich history is tied to the 580 00:21:59,353 --> 00:22:02,054 waters of the Pacific Ocean. 581 00:22:02,089 --> 00:22:03,622 But although many of Japan's 582 00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:05,524 legends are largely unknown to 583 00:22:05,592 --> 00:22:08,094 the West, some are drawing the 584 00:22:08,161 --> 00:22:10,062 attention of ancient astronaut 585 00:22:10,097 --> 00:22:12,064 theorists. 586 00:22:14,601 --> 00:22:16,635 One such legend dates back to 587 00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:19,905 1803 and traces its origins 588 00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:24,210 to a beach north of Tokyo. 589 00:22:24,211 --> 00:22:26,679 Wilcock: Allegedly, a craft 590 00:22:26,713 --> 00:22:30,549 that was quite large in size 591 00:22:30,617 --> 00:22:33,085 washed up on the shore in Japan. 592 00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,154 Kazuo Tanaka: A strange round 593 00:22:35,188 --> 00:22:37,356 ship drifted ashore in this 594 00:22:37,391 --> 00:22:39,325 area. 595 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,400 Wilcock: The woman did not 596 00:22:47,467 --> 00:22:48,601 speak any language they could 597 00:22:48,635 --> 00:22:49,635 identify. 598 00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:50,903 There were written inscriptions 599 00:22:50,937 --> 00:22:52,271 inside her craft that they 600 00:22:52,305 --> 00:22:53,973 could not identify, and she's 601 00:22:54,007 --> 00:22:56,275 clutching this box that she 602 00:22:56,309 --> 00:22:58,544 didn't want anybody to touch. 603 00:23:22,002 --> 00:23:23,436 Narrator: Known as the legend 604 00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:25,337 of the Utsuro Bune, or "hollow 605 00:23:25,372 --> 00:23:27,640 ship," the details of the story 606 00:23:27,707 --> 00:23:29,275 have puzzled historians for 607 00:23:29,342 --> 00:23:31,076 centuries. 608 00:23:31,111 --> 00:23:32,545 Where, for example, did the 609 00:23:32,612 --> 00:23:34,146 mysterious hollow ship come 610 00:23:34,181 --> 00:23:35,548 from? 611 00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:36,816 Could it have come from the 612 00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:38,918 area of the submerged Yonaguni 613 00:23:38,985 --> 00:23:40,553 monument? 614 00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:42,922 Who was the strange woman? 615 00:23:42,989 --> 00:23:44,557 And what were the contents of 616 00:23:44,624 --> 00:23:46,158 the box she guarded so 617 00:23:46,193 --> 00:23:47,626 carefully? 618 00:23:47,661 --> 00:23:49,595 Was it a human head? 619 00:23:49,629 --> 00:23:51,597 Or was it, as some ancient 620 00:23:51,631 --> 00:23:53,599 astronaut theorists believe, a 621 00:23:53,633 --> 00:23:55,734 type of brain or other form of 622 00:23:55,802 --> 00:23:58,804 extraterrestrial intelligence? 623 00:23:58,872 --> 00:24:01,006 If so, could it have been 624 00:24:01,041 --> 00:24:02,641 intended as a gift to the early 625 00:24:02,676 --> 00:24:04,810 Japanese by an ancient space 626 00:24:04,878 --> 00:24:08,647 traveler? 627 00:24:08,715 --> 00:24:09,715 Wilcock: There's five 628 00:24:09,749 --> 00:24:11,183 different drawings that have 629 00:24:11,218 --> 00:24:12,351 survived from completely 630 00:24:12,419 --> 00:24:13,819 different regions of Japan. 631 00:24:13,854 --> 00:24:15,054 They're almost identical to 632 00:24:15,088 --> 00:24:17,022 modern UFO reports. 633 00:24:36,743 --> 00:24:37,943 Narrator: As evidence to 634 00:24:37,978 --> 00:24:40,012 support their claims, ancient 635 00:24:40,046 --> 00:24:41,680 astronaut theorists point to 636 00:24:41,748 --> 00:24:43,582 early Japanese carvings and 637 00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:45,684 statuary, each suggesting a 638 00:24:45,719 --> 00:24:47,686 variety of extraterrestrial 639 00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:49,722 encounters. 640 00:24:49,723 --> 00:24:51,190 Tsoulakos: This is a Dogu 641 00:24:51,224 --> 00:24:54,126 figure, and it comes from Japan. 642 00:24:54,194 --> 00:24:55,394 And even to the untrained eye, 643 00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:57,963 you look at this, and it's as if 644 00:24:57,998 --> 00:25:00,332 this being is wearing some type 645 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,401 of a suit... with a helmet, some 646 00:25:02,435 --> 00:25:05,204 goggles, on the back there are 647 00:25:05,238 --> 00:25:08,841 all these weird buckles and 648 00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:11,744 circles, you know, straps. 649 00:25:11,745 --> 00:25:14,146 Very similar to a modern-day 650 00:25:14,214 --> 00:25:15,681 space suit. 651 00:25:15,715 --> 00:25:18,117 In my opinion, this is a 652 00:25:18,184 --> 00:25:20,119 likeness of a possible 653 00:25:20,186 --> 00:25:21,387 extraterrestrial that visited 654 00:25:21,421 --> 00:25:24,390 Earth thousands of years ago. 655 00:25:26,526 --> 00:25:27,860 Narrator: Archaeologists have 656 00:25:27,928 --> 00:25:29,295 catalogued the existence of 657 00:25:29,329 --> 00:25:32,298 more than 15,000 Dogu figures 658 00:25:32,365 --> 00:25:33,933 made during the Jomon period of 659 00:25:33,967 --> 00:25:36,735 prehistoric Japan, dating from 660 00:25:36,770 --> 00:25:39,672 approximately 14,000 to 300 661 00:25:39,706 --> 00:25:41,674 years B.C. 662 00:25:41,741 --> 00:25:44,043 But could, as ancient astronaut 663 00:25:44,077 --> 00:25:46,412 theorists believe, these strange 664 00:25:46,446 --> 00:25:48,914 Dogu figures really be a 665 00:25:48,949 --> 00:25:51,317 primitive interpretation of a 666 00:25:51,384 --> 00:25:53,052 pressurized space suit or diving 667 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,454 apparel? 668 00:25:55,488 --> 00:25:57,122 Tsoulakos: The story behind 669 00:25:57,157 --> 00:25:59,191 those Dogu figures is very 670 00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:01,193 clear, and anyone can go and 671 00:26:01,227 --> 00:26:02,761 read translations of the ancient 672 00:26:02,829 --> 00:26:04,697 texts that the Dogu, a long time 673 00:26:04,764 --> 00:26:08,133 ago, descended from the sky and 674 00:26:08,168 --> 00:26:10,035 taught the first Japanese people 675 00:26:10,103 --> 00:26:13,472 in various disciplines. 676 00:26:13,506 --> 00:26:14,406 Wilcock: And the whole 677 00:26:14,441 --> 00:26:16,942 Japanese culture, including the 678 00:26:16,977 --> 00:26:18,544 kimono, the tea ceremony, the 679 00:26:18,578 --> 00:26:21,046 use of wasabi and ginger for 680 00:26:21,114 --> 00:26:23,749 eating sushi, the way that they 681 00:26:23,783 --> 00:26:26,085 build their architecture, their 682 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,286 written language, everything 683 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,121 they say came from these 684 00:26:29,155 --> 00:26:31,290 visitors, from these gods, from 685 00:26:31,324 --> 00:26:32,458 the universe. 686 00:26:32,492 --> 00:26:33,492 Von Daniken: The pictures 687 00:26:33,526 --> 00:26:35,761 shows beings who look like 688 00:26:35,795 --> 00:26:36,762 astronauts. 689 00:26:36,830 --> 00:26:38,297 They are dressed like an 690 00:26:38,331 --> 00:26:39,565 astronaut. 691 00:26:39,633 --> 00:26:40,933 They have the helmet as an 692 00:26:41,001 --> 00:26:41,767 astronaut. 693 00:26:41,835 --> 00:26:43,168 They have some strange tools in 694 00:26:43,203 --> 00:26:44,937 their hands, tools which we 695 00:26:45,005 --> 00:26:47,006 do not understand. 696 00:26:47,007 --> 00:26:48,474 Now, there is a link. 697 00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:51,543 The Japanese call it "Dogus." 698 00:26:51,544 --> 00:26:54,279 In North America, we have still 699 00:26:54,314 --> 00:26:58,117 the Hopi tribe, in Arizona, and 700 00:26:58,151 --> 00:26:59,818 the Hopi Indians are still 701 00:26:59,853 --> 00:27:04,123 making today kachina dolls. 702 00:27:06,226 --> 00:27:09,628 Kachina dolls look similar to 703 00:27:09,663 --> 00:27:13,832 the Japanese Dogu figures. 704 00:27:13,867 --> 00:27:16,835 Further back, in the Sahara 705 00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:20,472 Desert, Africa, we found cave 706 00:27:20,540 --> 00:27:24,176 paintings. 707 00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:25,744 When you see the picture, 708 00:27:25,812 --> 00:27:27,913 you see definitely an astronaut 709 00:27:27,981 --> 00:27:28,747 suit. 710 00:27:28,815 --> 00:27:29,748 No doubt. 711 00:27:29,816 --> 00:27:31,183 Absolutely. 712 00:27:31,217 --> 00:27:33,652 Now, you compare these cave 713 00:27:33,687 --> 00:27:36,121 paintings with the kachina dolls 714 00:27:36,156 --> 00:27:38,190 of the Hopi, and with the Dogu 715 00:27:38,258 --> 00:27:39,525 of Japan. 716 00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:42,795 You have one line. 717 00:27:42,829 --> 00:27:44,329 Narrator: Do the mysterious 718 00:27:44,364 --> 00:27:46,765 Dogu figures provide tangible 719 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,500 evidence of extraterrestrial 720 00:27:48,535 --> 00:27:50,769 encounters in Japan's ancient 721 00:27:50,804 --> 00:27:53,605 past? 722 00:27:53,673 --> 00:27:54,873 And does the legend of the 723 00:27:54,908 --> 00:27:57,342 Utsuro Bune suggest that the 724 00:27:57,410 --> 00:27:59,878 Earth's oceans may be hiding 725 00:27:59,913 --> 00:28:01,980 even more proof of alien 726 00:28:02,015 --> 00:28:04,983 contact? 727 00:28:05,051 --> 00:28:07,352 Perhaps the answer can be found 728 00:28:07,420 --> 00:28:09,488 deep in the waters off the coast 729 00:28:09,522 --> 00:28:12,491 of India. 730 00:28:14,204 --> 00:28:17,140 Narrator: In 2001, 731 00:28:17,207 --> 00:28:19,742 researchers from India's Oceanic 732 00:28:19,777 --> 00:28:22,011 Institute detected anomalies on 733 00:28:22,046 --> 00:28:23,312 the bottom of the Gulf of 734 00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:24,313 Khambhat, seven miles from 735 00:28:24,381 --> 00:28:26,315 shore. 736 00:28:26,383 --> 00:28:27,417 Hancock: They had been 737 00:28:27,484 --> 00:28:28,751 commissioned by the Indian 738 00:28:28,786 --> 00:28:31,387 government to do a survey of 739 00:28:31,422 --> 00:28:32,422 pollution in the Gulf of 740 00:28:32,489 --> 00:28:35,024 Khambhat up in the northwest of 741 00:28:35,059 --> 00:28:36,759 India. 742 00:28:36,827 --> 00:28:38,661 And they were not expecting to 743 00:28:38,729 --> 00:28:40,229 find anything except a mess 744 00:28:40,264 --> 00:28:41,764 down there. 745 00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:43,866 But suddenly, their side-scan 746 00:28:43,901 --> 00:28:46,769 sonar started returning images 747 00:28:46,804 --> 00:28:50,106 of regular structures. 748 00:28:50,107 --> 00:28:51,741 Narrator: The images revealed 749 00:28:51,775 --> 00:28:53,576 an enormous network of stone 750 00:28:53,610 --> 00:28:55,745 buildings, now shrouded in mud 751 00:28:55,779 --> 00:28:58,047 and sand, and covering a 752 00:28:58,082 --> 00:29:00,750 distance of five square miles. 753 00:29:00,784 --> 00:29:01,751 Hancock: What we're looking 754 00:29:01,819 --> 00:29:03,386 at in the Gulf of Khambhat are 755 00:29:03,420 --> 00:29:05,288 the remains of cities. 756 00:29:05,322 --> 00:29:07,023 There's actually two of them. 757 00:29:07,091 --> 00:29:09,025 And it turns out that they are 758 00:29:09,093 --> 00:29:10,560 positioned on the side of 759 00:29:10,594 --> 00:29:12,028 ancient river channels. 760 00:29:12,096 --> 00:29:13,563 They look lime cities that have 761 00:29:13,597 --> 00:29:14,764 been submerged for a very long 762 00:29:14,832 --> 00:29:17,133 time, at a time when mainstream 763 00:29:17,167 --> 00:29:18,768 archeology tells us there were 764 00:29:18,836 --> 00:29:21,904 no cities anywhere in the world. 765 00:29:21,939 --> 00:29:22,905 Narrator: Powerful 766 00:29:22,940 --> 00:29:24,740 crosscurrents made it nearly 767 00:29:24,775 --> 00:29:27,743 impossible to dive the 170 feet 768 00:29:27,778 --> 00:29:29,178 to the bottom. 769 00:29:29,213 --> 00:29:32,115 Still, scientists retrieved 770 00:29:32,182 --> 00:29:35,084 dozens of artifacts, including 771 00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:38,087 wood and pottery shards. 772 00:29:38,122 --> 00:29:40,423 Cremo: Some of the dates on 773 00:29:40,457 --> 00:29:43,059 some of the human artifacts that 774 00:29:43,093 --> 00:29:45,428 were brought up extended as far 775 00:29:45,462 --> 00:29:49,065 back as 32,000 years. 776 00:29:49,099 --> 00:29:52,168 But the oceanographers concluded 777 00:29:52,202 --> 00:29:54,270 that the area had been covered 778 00:29:54,338 --> 00:29:57,974 by water about 9,000 years ago. 779 00:29:57,975 --> 00:29:59,775 So this city had apparently 780 00:29:59,810 --> 00:30:04,080 existed from 32,000 to about 781 00:30:04,114 --> 00:30:06,816 9,000 years ago. 782 00:30:06,884 --> 00:30:08,784 Childress: Mainstream 783 00:30:08,819 --> 00:30:10,686 scholars today claim that 784 00:30:10,721 --> 00:30:11,921 ancient Indian civilization 785 00:30:11,989 --> 00:30:14,157 only goes back 4,000 or 5,000 786 00:30:14,224 --> 00:30:15,791 years. 787 00:30:15,859 --> 00:30:18,494 Yet, Hindu scholars themselves 788 00:30:18,529 --> 00:30:20,496 say that Hindu civilization is 789 00:30:20,531 --> 00:30:22,798 going back, uh, many tens of 790 00:30:22,833 --> 00:30:23,799 thousands, even hundreds of 791 00:30:23,834 --> 00:30:26,369 thousands of years. 792 00:30:26,370 --> 00:30:27,603 Narrator: Might the ruins 793 00:30:27,638 --> 00:30:29,805 below the Gulf of Khambhat prove 794 00:30:29,873 --> 00:30:32,074 the Hindu scholars right? 795 00:30:32,142 --> 00:30:33,442 Another recent discovery may 796 00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:36,445 support their claims. 797 00:30:38,849 --> 00:30:42,218 200 miles to the northwest lies 798 00:30:42,252 --> 00:30:45,154 the modern city of Dwaraka. 799 00:30:45,222 --> 00:30:47,523 Archaeologists digging deep 800 00:30:47,591 --> 00:30:50,126 under the city found signs of a 801 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,794 settlement once inundated by 802 00:30:51,828 --> 00:30:54,263 the sea. 803 00:30:54,331 --> 00:30:56,699 Inspired by this clue, they 804 00:30:56,767 --> 00:30:59,135 began searching for more ruins 805 00:30:59,169 --> 00:31:02,138 in waters just off the coast. 806 00:31:04,541 --> 00:31:07,810 In only 70 feet of water, divers 807 00:31:07,844 --> 00:31:10,346 discovered sandstone walls, 808 00:31:10,414 --> 00:31:12,715 cobblestone streets and evidence 809 00:31:12,749 --> 00:31:15,618 of a prosperous seaport. 810 00:31:15,686 --> 00:31:18,154 Scholars declared these ruins 811 00:31:18,188 --> 00:31:19,622 to be the remains of the 812 00:31:19,690 --> 00:31:21,324 ancient and legendary city of 813 00:31:21,358 --> 00:31:25,428 Dwaraka. 814 00:31:25,462 --> 00:31:27,897 Ancient Hindu texts explain that 815 00:31:27,931 --> 00:31:30,233 the legendary city of Dwaraka 816 00:31:30,267 --> 00:31:31,867 was said to be the dwelling 817 00:31:31,902 --> 00:31:34,704 place of Lord Krishna, a deity 818 00:31:34,738 --> 00:31:35,705 worshipped across many 819 00:31:35,739 --> 00:31:37,740 traditions of Hinduism. 820 00:31:37,741 --> 00:31:39,242 Tsoulakos: Imagine what it 821 00:31:39,276 --> 00:31:41,143 would mean for the Christian 822 00:31:41,211 --> 00:31:42,511 world to all of a sudden 823 00:31:42,546 --> 00:31:45,581 discover the actual Holy Grail, 824 00:31:45,616 --> 00:31:49,819 the actual Ark of the Covenant. 825 00:31:49,820 --> 00:31:52,154 That would be akin, for the 826 00:31:52,222 --> 00:31:54,590 Indian population, to discover 827 00:31:54,625 --> 00:31:56,525 an actual Dwaraka. 828 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,028 This was a very powerful city, 829 00:31:59,062 --> 00:32:01,764 which was ruled by Lord Krishna. 830 00:32:01,798 --> 00:32:03,065 And Krishna is still revered 831 00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,568 until today. 832 00:32:05,602 --> 00:32:06,869 He's one of the highest gods 833 00:32:06,903 --> 00:32:10,773 that we have in Hindu culture. 834 00:32:10,807 --> 00:32:12,408 Narrator: Hindu texts explain 835 00:32:12,476 --> 00:32:15,411 that a king named Salwa attacked 836 00:32:15,479 --> 00:32:17,046 Lord Krishna in the mythical 837 00:32:17,114 --> 00:32:18,881 Dwaraka. 838 00:32:18,949 --> 00:32:21,417 Ancient astronaut theorists 839 00:32:21,485 --> 00:32:23,252 believe the descriptions of the 840 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,788 battle suggest the use of alien 841 00:32:25,822 --> 00:32:28,591 technology and even spacecraft. 842 00:32:28,659 --> 00:32:31,294 Cremo: According to the 843 00:32:31,328 --> 00:32:33,696 ancient Sanskrit texts, with 844 00:32:33,764 --> 00:32:36,232 this spacecraft, Salwa attacked 845 00:32:36,266 --> 00:32:39,235 the city, raining down energy 846 00:32:39,303 --> 00:32:42,605 weapons that resemble lightning. 847 00:32:42,639 --> 00:32:43,973 (explosive popping and rumbling) 848 00:32:44,041 --> 00:32:46,309 He destroyed large parts of the 849 00:32:46,343 --> 00:32:48,577 city in this way 850 00:32:48,645 --> 00:32:51,714 When this happened, the king of 851 00:32:51,748 --> 00:32:54,450 the city, the god Krishna, 852 00:32:54,484 --> 00:32:58,020 responded by firing weapons at 853 00:32:58,088 --> 00:33:01,290 this spacecraft. 854 00:33:01,325 --> 00:33:02,825 The weapons are described as 855 00:33:02,859 --> 00:33:04,093 arrows, but they're not ordinary 856 00:33:04,127 --> 00:33:05,261 arrows. 857 00:33:05,295 --> 00:33:06,729 It's said that they roared like 858 00:33:06,763 --> 00:33:08,197 thunder when they were launched, 859 00:33:08,265 --> 00:33:11,300 and resembled bolts of lightning 860 00:33:11,368 --> 00:33:14,103 or rays of the sun. 861 00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:17,273 In response, it is said that the 862 00:33:17,341 --> 00:33:20,810 spacecraft began to appear in 863 00:33:20,844 --> 00:33:23,813 different places simultaneously. 864 00:33:23,847 --> 00:33:27,750 It appeared to be moving in ways 865 00:33:27,784 --> 00:33:29,452 that resemble modern 866 00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:31,987 descriptions of UFOs. 867 00:33:32,022 --> 00:33:34,290 So what I find interesting about 868 00:33:34,324 --> 00:33:36,525 this account is, there's a 869 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,628 spacecraft made of metal that is 870 00:33:39,663 --> 00:33:42,732 firing down weapons on a city on 871 00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:44,834 Earth. 872 00:33:44,868 --> 00:33:46,268 Narrator: The legend says 873 00:33:46,303 --> 00:33:47,970 that Krishna eventually departed 874 00:33:48,004 --> 00:33:50,272 Earth, and the ocean consumed 875 00:33:50,307 --> 00:33:52,641 his city of Dwaraka. 876 00:33:52,709 --> 00:33:54,910 Cremo: For many people, the 877 00:33:54,978 --> 00:33:57,747 description of fabulous ancient 878 00:33:57,814 --> 00:34:00,015 cities in the Sanskrit writings 879 00:34:00,050 --> 00:34:02,718 of India were simply mythology, 880 00:34:02,753 --> 00:34:05,788 but with the discovery of the 881 00:34:05,822 --> 00:34:08,290 remains of a sunken city off the 882 00:34:08,325 --> 00:34:10,826 coast of India in the location 883 00:34:10,861 --> 00:34:11,894 of Dwaraka, all that has 884 00:34:11,928 --> 00:34:14,897 changed. 885 00:34:18,034 --> 00:34:19,635 People are beginning to look at 886 00:34:19,703 --> 00:34:21,804 these ancient writings in a new 887 00:34:21,838 --> 00:34:24,006 light, and see them not simply 888 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,641 as mythology, but as actual 889 00:34:25,709 --> 00:34:29,011 historical records. 890 00:34:29,045 --> 00:34:31,280 Narrator: Did India's 891 00:34:31,348 --> 00:34:33,516 ancestors witness a war between 892 00:34:33,550 --> 00:34:36,352 extraterrestrial entities? 893 00:34:36,420 --> 00:34:38,354 If the mythical city cited in 894 00:34:38,388 --> 00:34:41,157 the Hindu texts turned out to be 895 00:34:41,191 --> 00:34:43,325 real, could there also be 896 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,994 evidence of Krishna and his 897 00:34:45,061 --> 00:34:47,997 supernatural powers? 898 00:34:51,401 --> 00:34:53,736 Ancient alien theorists believe 899 00:34:53,770 --> 00:34:55,638 a link between the submerged 900 00:34:55,705 --> 00:34:57,807 ruins and extraterrestrials can 901 00:34:57,874 --> 00:35:00,609 be found in another set of texts 902 00:35:00,644 --> 00:35:03,012 known as India's Sangam 903 00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:05,548 literature. 904 00:35:05,582 --> 00:35:06,882 Cremo: Sangams were 905 00:35:06,917 --> 00:35:09,718 assemblies of sages. 906 00:35:09,786 --> 00:35:11,720 It says that the first two 907 00:35:11,788 --> 00:35:14,523 Sangams took place on a sunken 908 00:35:14,558 --> 00:35:18,828 landmass called Kumari Kandam. 909 00:35:18,895 --> 00:35:21,430 This area was once above water 910 00:35:21,465 --> 00:35:23,165 thousands of years ago, 911 00:35:23,233 --> 00:35:25,634 according to the accounts, but 912 00:35:25,669 --> 00:35:28,070 it's now underwater. 913 00:35:28,104 --> 00:35:30,339 It's also interesting that these 914 00:35:30,407 --> 00:35:33,576 assemblies of sages included 915 00:35:33,610 --> 00:35:34,977 extraterrestrial beings, as 916 00:35:35,011 --> 00:35:36,612 well. 917 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,616 And this fits in with evidence 918 00:35:40,650 --> 00:35:42,451 discovered in the Gulf of 919 00:35:42,486 --> 00:35:46,455 Cambay, and off the coast of the 920 00:35:46,523 --> 00:35:49,458 present city of Dwaraka. 921 00:35:54,431 --> 00:35:56,232 Narrator: Are the 922 00:35:56,266 --> 00:35:57,633 interpretations of India's 923 00:35:57,701 --> 00:35:59,635 ancient texts proof of alien 924 00:35:59,669 --> 00:36:03,072 contact in Earth's past? 925 00:36:03,139 --> 00:36:04,807 And are the descriptions of 926 00:36:04,875 --> 00:36:07,142 gods actually descriptions of 927 00:36:07,177 --> 00:36:09,144 extraterrestrials? 928 00:36:11,114 --> 00:36:13,249 Perhaps another discovery... 929 00:36:13,316 --> 00:36:16,418 one beneath a mysterious lake... 930 00:36:16,453 --> 00:36:17,720 will yield even more 931 00:36:17,787 --> 00:36:19,855 evidence of alien visitors in 932 00:36:19,890 --> 00:36:22,351 the remote past. 933 00:36:23,549 --> 00:36:25,584 Narrator: The Andes 934 00:36:25,652 --> 00:36:28,487 Mountains, Peru. 935 00:36:28,554 --> 00:36:31,290 Here, at an elevation of 12,500 936 00:36:31,357 --> 00:36:33,625 feet, lie the dark waters of 937 00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:36,094 Lake Titicaca, the highest 938 00:36:36,129 --> 00:36:37,863 navigable body of water in the 939 00:36:37,930 --> 00:36:40,432 world. 940 00:36:40,466 --> 00:36:42,601 In August of 2000, an Italian 941 00:36:42,635 --> 00:36:44,036 team of divers and 942 00:36:44,070 --> 00:36:46,204 archaeologists launched an 943 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,939 underwater investigation of the 944 00:36:47,974 --> 00:36:49,941 legendary lake. 945 00:36:50,009 --> 00:36:52,177 There, submerged under 100 946 00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:54,846 feet of water, the team 947 00:36:54,881 --> 00:36:56,815 uncovered traces of a paved 948 00:36:56,849 --> 00:36:59,184 road, a stone terrace, and a 949 00:36:59,252 --> 00:37:03,188 wall nearly a half mile long. 950 00:37:03,256 --> 00:37:05,924 For centuries, local legends 951 00:37:05,958 --> 00:37:07,392 have spoken of a lost 952 00:37:07,427 --> 00:37:10,662 underwater city called Wanaku. 953 00:37:10,730 --> 00:37:12,831 Could these ruins provide proof 954 00:37:12,865 --> 00:37:14,366 that such a city did, in fact, 955 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,902 exist? 956 00:37:16,936 --> 00:37:18,570 Then, another shocking 957 00:37:18,638 --> 00:37:20,706 discovery. 958 00:37:20,740 --> 00:37:22,908 Lying on the lake bed was a 959 00:37:22,942 --> 00:37:26,078 large, sculptured stone head. 960 00:37:26,112 --> 00:37:28,280 Could this ancient relic offer 961 00:37:28,314 --> 00:37:29,881 a clue to the origins of this 962 00:37:29,916 --> 00:37:33,018 incredible archaeological find? 963 00:37:35,455 --> 00:37:37,823 Comparisons were quickly made 964 00:37:37,890 --> 00:37:39,825 to similar stonework found at 965 00:37:39,892 --> 00:37:41,259 the nearby ancient city of 966 00:37:41,294 --> 00:37:43,795 Tiahuana, just 12 miles south 967 00:37:43,863 --> 00:37:47,065 of Lake Titicaca... a city long 968 00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,834 thought by ancient astronaut 969 00:37:48,901 --> 00:37:50,268 theorists to have 970 00:37:50,336 --> 00:37:53,638 extraterrestrial origins. 971 00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:55,107 Childress: When the early 972 00:37:55,174 --> 00:37:57,242 conquistadors talked to the 973 00:37:57,276 --> 00:37:59,578 local Aymara Indians they were 974 00:37:59,612 --> 00:38:02,714 told that-that giants at the 975 00:38:02,749 --> 00:38:05,050 beginning of creation had 976 00:38:05,084 --> 00:38:07,352 created Tiahuanaco. 977 00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:09,988 The Spanish, too, were amazed by 978 00:38:10,056 --> 00:38:13,058 the gigantic blocks of stone. 979 00:38:13,126 --> 00:38:15,026 They felt that the devil had 980 00:38:15,061 --> 00:38:17,696 built this building. 981 00:38:17,764 --> 00:38:19,698 Hancock: If you look at some 982 00:38:19,766 --> 00:38:21,867 of the rock cut on megalithic 983 00:38:21,901 --> 00:38:23,168 structures at the site of 984 00:38:23,236 --> 00:38:24,936 Tiahuanaco, I personally 985 00:38:24,971 --> 00:38:27,305 believe very strongly that we 986 00:38:27,340 --> 00:38:29,074 are looking at an older episode 987 00:38:29,108 --> 00:38:32,511 of construction and the traces 988 00:38:32,578 --> 00:38:34,413 of a forgotten episode in the 989 00:38:34,447 --> 00:38:37,449 human story. 990 00:38:37,450 --> 00:38:39,050 Narrator: But if the ruins 991 00:38:39,118 --> 00:38:40,419 found at the bottom of Lake 992 00:38:40,486 --> 00:38:42,888 Titicaca are from the legendary 993 00:38:42,922 --> 00:38:45,857 lost city of Wanaku, what 994 00:38:45,892 --> 00:38:47,325 happened to it? 995 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,860 Did it fall prey to a major 996 00:38:48,928 --> 00:38:50,429 earthquake or other natural 997 00:38:50,496 --> 00:38:52,964 disaster? 998 00:38:52,999 --> 00:38:54,599 Or was the city, as some 999 00:38:54,667 --> 00:38:55,967 ancient astronaut theorists 1000 00:38:56,002 --> 00:38:59,304 believe, deliberately flooded? 1001 00:38:59,338 --> 00:39:01,139 Childress: The more you know 1002 00:39:01,207 --> 00:39:02,674 about Lake Titicaca, the 1003 00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:05,143 stranger it gets. 1004 00:39:05,211 --> 00:39:07,579 Archeologists have problems in 1005 00:39:07,613 --> 00:39:10,248 really explaining why there are 1006 00:39:10,283 --> 00:39:11,950 sunken ruins there, because 1007 00:39:11,984 --> 00:39:14,152 they're saying that the ruins 1008 00:39:14,187 --> 00:39:16,154 aren't that old. 1009 00:39:16,189 --> 00:39:18,657 They're only 1,500 years old. 1010 00:39:18,691 --> 00:39:20,659 And that would mean that Lake 1011 00:39:20,693 --> 00:39:22,427 Titicaca has gone through a 1012 00:39:22,495 --> 00:39:25,931 number of major changes in that 1013 00:39:25,965 --> 00:39:27,132 period. 1014 00:39:27,166 --> 00:39:28,700 And it's possible that somehow 1015 00:39:28,734 --> 00:39:30,302 the lake itself and the 1016 00:39:30,336 --> 00:39:32,971 shorelines were manipulated so 1017 00:39:33,005 --> 00:39:34,406 that certain areas of Lake 1018 00:39:34,474 --> 00:39:37,209 Titicaca were flooded in a sort 1019 00:39:37,243 --> 00:39:39,778 of artificial way. 1020 00:39:39,812 --> 00:39:42,781 There is a type of seahorse 1021 00:39:42,815 --> 00:39:46,284 that lives in Lake Titicaca. 1022 00:39:46,319 --> 00:39:48,787 And seahorses are coming from 1023 00:39:48,855 --> 00:39:51,189 saltwater and oceans, yet these 1024 00:39:51,224 --> 00:39:53,124 seahorses are living at 1025 00:39:53,192 --> 00:39:56,828 nearly 13,000 feet in the Andes. 1026 00:39:56,863 --> 00:39:59,498 Narrator: But just how could 1027 00:39:59,532 --> 00:40:00,732 an ancient people have 1028 00:40:00,766 --> 00:40:02,033 artificially created South 1029 00:40:02,068 --> 00:40:04,569 America's largest lake? 1030 00:40:04,604 --> 00:40:06,738 A lake that is 118 miles 1031 00:40:06,772 --> 00:40:09,174 long and 50 miles wide? 1032 00:40:09,175 --> 00:40:10,942 Tsoulakos: When you ask the 1033 00:40:11,010 --> 00:40:13,311 local population, "How did all 1034 00:40:13,346 --> 00:40:16,548 of this come into being?" the 1035 00:40:16,582 --> 00:40:18,683 Aymara Indians will tell 1036 00:40:18,751 --> 00:40:20,852 you that all of this has 1037 00:40:20,887 --> 00:40:23,655 existed since before the 1038 00:40:23,689 --> 00:40:25,657 beginning of time. 1039 00:40:25,691 --> 00:40:27,759 Delgado Mamani: In the Aymara 1040 00:40:27,793 --> 00:40:29,394 legends, the lake is like the... 1041 00:40:29,428 --> 00:40:30,962 the place of genesis, the 1042 00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:33,365 place where it starts... all the 1043 00:40:33,399 --> 00:40:35,367 civilizations... in our 1044 00:40:35,401 --> 00:40:37,402 continent. 1045 00:40:37,403 --> 00:40:38,737 We have these very, very, very 1046 00:40:38,771 --> 00:40:40,171 old roots. 1047 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,540 I mean, we're not talking only 1048 00:40:41,574 --> 00:40:43,275 about this civilization, this 1049 00:40:43,342 --> 00:40:44,276 humanity. 1050 00:40:44,343 --> 00:40:47,546 We are talking about our seeds, 1051 00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:51,283 the roots of the stars. 1052 00:40:51,350 --> 00:40:53,652 Some people believe that the 1053 00:40:53,686 --> 00:40:56,354 extraterrestrial built, but 1054 00:40:56,389 --> 00:40:58,189 what I believe is that the 1055 00:40:58,257 --> 00:41:01,560 space brothers help us, direct 1056 00:41:01,594 --> 00:41:04,262 us, teach us, because they had 1057 00:41:04,297 --> 00:41:08,233 the experience in many ways. 1058 00:41:08,267 --> 00:41:10,235 The legend says that once the 1059 00:41:10,269 --> 00:41:13,271 space brothers came to this 1060 00:41:13,306 --> 00:41:15,540 planet and they used to live 1061 00:41:15,608 --> 00:41:18,276 with us, and they was very 1062 00:41:18,311 --> 00:41:20,345 important in our lives and they 1063 00:41:20,413 --> 00:41:23,348 used to be very powerful people. 1064 00:41:26,752 --> 00:41:28,420 Narrator: But is it possible 1065 00:41:28,454 --> 00:41:30,422 that the lost city of Wanaku 1066 00:41:30,456 --> 00:41:33,191 was really built, or inhabited, 1067 00:41:33,259 --> 00:41:34,793 by the ancient ancestors of 1068 00:41:34,827 --> 00:41:37,996 the indigenous Aymara people? 1069 00:41:38,064 --> 00:41:41,166 And if so, could it have been 1070 00:41:41,233 --> 00:41:43,001 deliberately flooded to avoid 1071 00:41:43,069 --> 00:41:44,269 detection from the outside 1072 00:41:44,337 --> 00:41:46,271 world? 1073 00:41:48,074 --> 00:41:49,007 Cristina Sovrosa 1074 00:41:49,075 --> 00:41:50,809 (translated): The elders, they 1075 00:41:50,843 --> 00:41:52,043 used to talk about the 1076 00:41:52,078 --> 00:41:54,913 underwater city. 1077 00:41:54,914 --> 00:41:57,349 They talk about the lights like 1078 00:41:57,416 --> 00:42:00,619 stars connecting with the lake. 1079 00:42:00,686 --> 00:42:02,621 The stars, when they come down 1080 00:42:02,655 --> 00:42:06,458 to the lake, there is changes 1081 00:42:06,525 --> 00:42:08,460 in the temperatures. 1082 00:42:10,963 --> 00:42:12,631 Delgado Mamani: There is many 1083 00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,766 legends with lights coming from 1084 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,701 the underground of the lake. 1085 00:42:16,769 --> 00:42:18,637 It seems they come, they go 1086 00:42:18,704 --> 00:42:20,338 and they return in different 1087 00:42:20,373 --> 00:42:21,439 moments. 1088 00:42:21,507 --> 00:42:22,907 Childress: You start to get 1089 00:42:22,975 --> 00:42:24,676 the idea that there is some kind 1090 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:27,612 of ancient alien underwater 1091 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:28,947 base. 1092 00:42:28,981 --> 00:42:30,248 And it's possible that some of 1093 00:42:30,282 --> 00:42:32,684 these sunken ruins are, uh, 1094 00:42:32,718 --> 00:42:36,421 somehow part of that base. 1095 00:42:36,455 --> 00:42:39,524 Narrator: Could the ancient 1096 00:42:39,558 --> 00:42:41,793 city of Wanaku really have been 1097 00:42:41,861 --> 00:42:44,329 built by alien visitors? 1098 00:42:44,363 --> 00:42:47,165 And if so, why? 1099 00:42:47,199 --> 00:42:49,601 What was their purpose? 1100 00:42:49,635 --> 00:42:51,236 Could the discovr of this and 1101 00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:53,371 other sunken cities pride the 1102 00:42:53,406 --> 00:42:55,607 evidence that mankind has been 1103 00:42:55,641 --> 00:42:58,009 seeking for centuries... 1104 00:42:58,077 --> 00:43:00,378 evidence that proves... that we 1105 00:43:00,413 --> 00:43:03,915 are not alone? 1106 00:43:03,949 --> 00:43:05,283 Hancock: These mysterious 1107 00:43:05,317 --> 00:43:07,018 underwater structures really 1108 00:43:07,086 --> 00:43:08,553 don't have any context or any 1109 00:43:08,587 --> 00:43:10,088 background; they just seem to 1110 00:43:10,122 --> 00:43:11,556 come from nowhere. 1111 00:43:11,590 --> 00:43:13,191 They seem to stand out as being 1112 00:43:13,259 --> 00:43:15,260 out of place in time, so there's 1113 00:43:15,327 --> 00:43:16,561 some question marks, some 1114 00:43:16,595 --> 00:43:18,263 mystery surrounding them that 1115 00:43:18,297 --> 00:43:19,531 might shed new light on human 1116 00:43:19,598 --> 00:43:21,099 history. 1117 00:43:21,133 --> 00:43:22,634 Tsoulakos: Atlantis, Lake 1118 00:43:22,702 --> 00:43:25,804 Titicaca, Dwaraka. 1119 00:43:25,838 --> 00:43:28,073 All those ancient mystery 1120 00:43:28,107 --> 00:43:31,643 places always have had a 1121 00:43:31,677 --> 00:43:34,446 connection to the gods. 1122 00:43:34,513 --> 00:43:35,914 The gods who, in the ancient 1123 00:43:35,948 --> 00:43:37,916 astronaut opinion, were flesh 1124 00:43:37,983 --> 00:43:41,086 and blood extraterrestrials. 1125 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,521 And in the end, the ancient 1126 00:43:43,556 --> 00:43:45,457 astronaut theory will be proven 1127 00:43:45,524 --> 00:43:47,358 right. 1128 00:43:50,359 --> 00:43:54,026 Sync by n17t01 www.addic7ed.com 9999 00:00:0,500 -->
