Narrator: Ancient monuments

deep under water...

A once-thriving metropolis now

half a mile under the sea...

Lost cities submerged for

thousands of years...

David Childress: All over the

world, there are sunken cities.

There's more than 200 known

sunken cities in the

Mediterranean alone.

Graham Hancock: What we're

looking at are the remains of

cities at a time when mainstream

archeology tells us there were

no cities, uh, anywhere in the

world.

Narrator: Are underwater

monuments examples of mankind's

earliest civilizations?

Or is there evidence of skills

far beyond that of primitive

man?

And if so, where did it

come from?

Giorgio Tsoulakos: The native

legends are very clear... that

something or someone landed,

and then, knowledge, all of a

sudden, spread.

Jorge Luis Delgado Mamani:

There is many, many legends

with lights coming from under

the water.

Childress: You start to get

the idea that there's some kind

of ancient alien underwater

base...

Narrator: Millions of people

around the world believe we

have been visited in the past

by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help

to shape our history?

If so, what evidence lies deep

underwater?

Narrator: Covering more than

71% of the planet, the Earth's

oceans are a vast and largely

unexplored mystery.

For most of recorded history,

man could only guess at what

lay beneath the ocean's surface.

But new technologies are

reaching new depths.

Researchers around the world

are finding the unexpected...

underwater complexes and

sophisticated monuments that

defy the conventional

historical record.

Michael Cremo: There are

remains of urban civilizations

on parts of the Earth that were

exposed on land 10,000 and

more years ago.

Possible.

Narrator: Scientific theory

suggests that during Earth's

last Ice Age, ocean levels were

once much lower than they are

today.

Hancock: You have to envisage

a world in which there are two

mile-deep ice caps sitting on

top of northern Europe and

North America, in which are

accumulated enormous quantities

of water.

And we know that this water

began to melt about 21,000 years

ago, and finished melting about

10,000 years ago.

Narrator: As a result, rich

coastal lands were slowly

submerged by rising sea levels.

Hancock: Ten million square

miles of land was flooded all

around the world.

That's roughly the size of

Europe and China added

together... were just rubbed

from the record.

They just disappear from

the story.

And in my opinion, archeology

is not doing enough work to

investigate those lost and

submerged lands.

Narrator: While much of the

ocean's floor remains

unexplored, for thousands of

years, philosophers and

scientists have been drawn to

one of the greatest mysteries

of the sea, the legend of the

lost city of Atlantis.

Childress: It's been said

that more books have been

written about Atlantis than any

other subject.

But most of what we know comes

from the Greek philosopher

Plato, who wrote two books about

Atlantis, the Timaeus and the

Critias.

>> Narrator: Written in 360 BC,

Plato described Atlantis as a

highly advanced city, ringed by

concentric walls, which

flourished 9,000 years before

his own time.

>> Cremo: There are descriptions

of huge palaces for kings.

It's stated that Atlantis had

huge naval forces, which it

used to conquer other parts of

the world.

It was an urban civilization.

According to the ancient Greek

texts, Atlantis was connected

with extraterrestrials from the

beginning.

It was founded by the Greek god

Poseidon.

Poseidon can be regarded as an

extraterrestrial in the sense

of not being of this Earth.

>> Erich Von Daniken: Poseidon,

one of the extraterrestrial,

found a pretty, wonderful, young

woman-girl on Earth.

And he took this woman-girl,

made her pregnant.

And to protect his new family,

he founded Atlantis.

>> Narrator: According to the

legend, after a failed attempt

to invade Athens, disaster

struck the island.

>> Childress: According to

Plato, Atlantis was destroyed in

a day and a night...

(thunder booms)

(waves crashing)

...a cataclysmic destruction

that sank the entire island and

its capital city.

Some researchers believe that

the Atlantians somehow

destroyed themselves.

>> Narrator: According to Plato,

Atlantis was located in front

of the Pillars of Hercules, a

location beyond what some

scholars attribute to modern

Gibraltar.

>> Childress: And to the

ancients, as they left the

Mediterranean Sea to go into the

larger Atlantic Ocean, this was

where they went beyond the

Pillars of Hercules between

Spain and Morocco.

>> Narrator: Across the

Atlantic lies the island chain

of the Bahamas, just southeast

of Florida.

Here in 1968, archaeologist

J. Manson Valentine believed he

found part of Atlantis when he

discovered an unusual rock

formation off the coast of

North Bimini Island.

>> John Van Auken: It's only in

about 12 to 18 feet of water, so

you can, uh, view it easily.

At first, scientists thought

this was just beach rock, but

then several other scientists

exploring the Bimini Road

noticed that the beach rock was

on top of other beach rock,

with balancing stones wedged in

between.

And nature doesn't do that; man

does.

And they realized this is a

harbor, a breakwater for a

harbor.

From the shallow edges of

Bimini all the way to the Gulf

Stream in 300 feet of water, we

have found many fascinating

complexities that look like

remnants of ancient cities or

structures... roads, pathways,

structures covered in coral.

>> Narrator: Could the Bimini

ruins be remnants of Atlantis?

And if so, could these roads

lead to other sites buried

under sand and water?

In the year 2000, while mapping

the seafloor off the western

coast of Cuba, a research

expedition led by

Russian-Canadian oceanographer

Paulina Zelitsky spotted

symmetrical stone structures

deep below the water.

Remarkably, they were over a

half mile down.

>> Paulina Zelitsky: Divers

cannot do this kind of, uh,

investigation, so we have to

use remote operating vehicle.

And this vehicle is equipped

with video cameras and

manipulators.

And it controlled, uh, from the

deck of the ship.

>> Narrator: The expedition was

also armed with side-scan sonar

equipment used to create images

of large areas of the sea floor

and underwater objects.

>> Zelitsky: I was in control

room on board of the ship, and

we were receiving that image

coming from side-scan.

And this is just one of the

many other images that we were

obtaining of, the 80, uh,

structures made of large stones

placed one on top of another.

>> Linda Moulton Howe: Well,

what do they end up with?

It is an image that shows these

rectangular 90-degree angles,

over and over and over, on very

large structures that seemed to

have wide avenues.

>> Narrator: The exploration

found huge stone blocks in

pyramid shapes, others more

circular.

Most were gigantic, reaching 16

feet in height and weighing

several tons.

30 geometric structures emerged,

appearing to be the remains of

streets, buildings, tunnels and

pyramids, all at a depth of

2,200 feet below the surface of

the water.

>> Andrew Collins: We might well

have here the evidence of a

prehistoric culture that would

probably go back tens of

thousands of years, and that's

very exciting indeed.

>> Narrator: Using dating

techniques based on the presence

of nearby volcanic ash,

geologists estimated the

underwater city sank over 6,000

years ago.

>> Howe: Could this be, a half

mile down, some part of the

sunken Atlantis from 9,000,

10,000 yrs ago that Plato

talked about?

>> Collins: Well, the Atlantis

myth is integrally related with

the area of the Caribbean and

the Bahamas, in particular Cuba.

Plato talks about an island

empire.

He's probably talking about

dozens of different islands of

different sizes, not just in the

western Atlantic, but probably

stretching out right into the

central Atlantic area.

>> Narrator: Both the Cuban and

the Bahaman ruins lie on the

western edge of the Bermuda

Triangle, an area of ocean

covering over 500,000 square

miles, known for magnetic

anomalies, extraterrestrial

sightings and unexplained

disappearances of aircraft and

ships.

Could there be a connection

between Atlantis and the area

known as the Devil's Triangle?

>> Bill Birnes: On the edge of

the Bermuda Triangle, there are

underwater ruins of the ancient

city of Atlantis, the

prehistoric city of Atlantis.

So, yes, there is a theory that

Atlantis lies, not near Greece,

but in the Bermuda Triangle.

>> Narrator: If Plato's texts

are true, then other Greek myths

may provide a hint of the true

fate of Atlantis.

One myth tells of the Titan

goddess named Asteria, who fell

from the sky and became an

island.

>> Tsoulakos: In ancient Greece,

we have a number of myths which

describe islands... bronze,

gleaming islands... that fell

from the sky and landed in

water.

I don't think that Atlantis,

therefore, was an actual

stationary, physical island.

Atlantis, according to Plato,

disappeared in one night with a

lot of fire and a lot of smoke.

See, I don't think that Atlantis

sank.

I think Atlantis lifted off.

>> Narrator: Was Atlantis a safe

haven for ancient aliens before

the end of Earth's last Ice Age?

And if so, could there be other

alien cities submerged deep

underwater?

Narrator: Yonaguni, Japan.

This small island is at the

westernmost tip of the

Japanese archipelago.

Scholars believe the first

inhabitants migrated here from

Southeast Asia during

prehistoric times.

In 1987, in nearby waters, dive

tour orator Kihachiro Aratake

made a shocking discovery.

A massive complex of stone

formations lay hidden a mere 60

feet beneath the ocean surface.

Experts call it one of the

greatest discoveries in the

history of underwater

archeology.

Hancock: What's intriguing

about the complex at Yonaguni is

that there are a whole range of

monuments, pretty much side by

side, and this, to my eye, looks

unmistakably to be the work of

human beings, not the random

action of the ocean on

differential layers of stone.

Masaaki Kimura (translated):

There are several reasons why I

think this is not a natural

formation.

Some tools and engraved stones

are found at the site.

Because of these things, there

is no doubt that this is made

artificially.

Narrator: Submerged beneath

60 to 100 feet of water, the

largest of the underwater

formations resemble a massive,

five-layered stepped pyramid,

the size of two football fields.

David Wilcock: You see

unambiguous carvings that

clearly are geometric in nature,

tons of right angles.

We see channels that you can

walk through with stairwells at

the end that are perfectly

rectangular in shape.

Hancock: There are places

where you find megaliths piled

on top of one another to create

a tunnel through which you can

swim.

There is a set of megaliths

positioned side by side against

the side of the cliff.

There's a gigantic human face

carved underwater.

Kimura (translated): There is

a stone that inscribes a big

face, about seven meters in

height.

Our first impression was that it

looked a lot like the Moai on

Easter Island.

Then we began to realize that

it strongly resembled the sphinx

which guarded the pyramids, and

we wondered, "Is that the

function the face is serving

"here?"

Hancock: It's the whole

combination of all these

structures together which

convinced me that we're looking

at a... at a ceremonial complex.

The mystery surrounding the

Yonaguni underwater structure

is, when did it go underwater?

The geological evidence is that

it was submerged during the

meltdown of the last Ice Age.

Tsoulakos: All around the

world, whether it is France,

India or Japan, there are

man-made structures that lie

underwater.

Two ways how our ancestors could

have done this.

Either they had scuba gear...

I don't think so...

or this stuff was built when the

ocean levels were lower, and

that was over 14,000 years ago,

and 14,000 years ago, according

to mainstream archeology, we

were just dwelling in caves,

hunter-gatherers.

Narrator: Could the Yonaguni

structures have been built by

such primitive people?

And what evidence exists of

the people who inhabited this

island?

Kimura (translated): Human

fossils were found, so I'm sure

there were people living on the

island, but I'm not sure if they

had the technology to create

structures, or anything like

this.

Hancock: It's not so much the

question of could the stone have

been chipped away and removed.

It's a question of the vision,

of the scale of the complex,

of thinking in those kind of

terms.

And we know of no other, uh,

Stone Age culture that thought

in those kind of terms, of

creating a gigantic, seemingly

ceremonial complex.

Narrator: If, according to

scholars, the ancient Japanese

people could not have built this

monument, who did?

And how did it get here?

Birnes: The speculation is

that extraterrestrials created

the Yonaguni monument.

The engineering is just beyond

the capacity of Stone Age

civilizations.

Narrator: Ancient astronaut

theorists also believe the key

to the Yonaguni mystery is found

in its global positioning.

Strangely, the complex lies

within an area of the Pacific

long suspected of

extraterrestrial activity.

It's called the Dragon's

Triangle.

Wilcock: Just south of Japan,

you have a mysterious area

called the Dragon's Triangle,

which is very similar to the

Bermuda Triangle, because you

have planes that have

disappeared from the air, ships

that have disappeared from the

ocean.

In fact, Japan had declared

this a disaster area.

Don't sail through it.

Don't fly through it.

Stay the heck away, because if

you go in there, terrible things

can happen to you.

Birnes: In ancient Japan, and

even into the relatively modern

era, there are stories about the

Dragon Sea, in which objects

rise out of the water and sail

through the air.

In ancient Japan, these were

winged monsters breathing fire.

In more modern times, these

took on the appearance of actual

machines.

When you compare those

descriptions of these devices

with the description that

Columbus gave of a craft nearing

the Bermuda Triangle actually

rising out of the water, a light

that followed the ship, you

realize there's a similarity in

both of these locations to

things, objects, that are in the

water and rise out of the water

and fly through the air.

Narrator: But why are the two

submerged structures found

within the perimeter of these

strange regions of the planet

where so much unusual activity

occurs?

Is it coincidence that the

Earth's 25th parallel north

cuts through both the Bermuda

Triangle and the Dragon's

Triangle?

Birnes: They lie on a plane

along the same line, and both of

them have the same magnetic

phenomena, in which compass

bearings are lost and

instruments go down.

People wonder if there's a real,

strange UFO connection.

Gian Quasar: If UFO's and

flying saucers do exist, then we

should suspect that they could

originally come from an ancient

super civilization.

It makes you wonder if flying

saucers, UFO's, whatever you

want to call them, actually use

the area of the Triangle as

their major base, and perhaps

are even coming back to the

remnants of a civilization that

they were familiar with.

Narrator: What if the sunken

monuments at Yonaguni and near

Cuba had alien origins?

Might they have been used as

alien bases?

And if we believe

extraterrestrials functioned on

land, could they have also

functioned underwater?

Could there be more evidence

lying in the vast Pacific?

Narrator: As an island

nation, it should come as no

mystery that much of Japan's

rich history is tied to the

waters of the Pacific Ocean.

But although many of Japan's

legends are largely unknown to

the West, some are drawing the

attention of ancient astronaut

theorists.

One such legend dates back to

1803 and traces its origins

to a beach north of Tokyo.

Wilcock: Allegedly, a craft

that was quite large in size

washed up on the shore in Japan.

Kazuo Tanaka: A strange round

ship drifted ashore in this

area.

Wilcock: The woman did not

speak any language they could

identify.

There were written inscriptions

inside her craft that they

could not identify, and she's

clutching this box that she

didn't want anybody to touch.

Narrator: Known as the legend

of the Utsuro Bune, or "hollow

ship," the details of the story

have puzzled historians for

centuries.

Where, for example, did the

mysterious hollow ship come

from?

Could it have come from the

area of the submerged Yonaguni

monument?

Who was the strange woman?

And what were the contents of

the box she guarded so

carefully?

Was it a human head?

Or was it, as some ancient

astronaut theorists believe, a

type of brain or other form of

extraterrestrial intelligence?

If so, could it have been

intended as a gift to the early

Japanese by an ancient space

traveler?

Wilcock: There's five

different drawings that have

survived from completely

different regions of Japan.

They're almost identical to

modern UFO reports.

Narrator: As evidence to

support their claims, ancient

astronaut theorists point to

early Japanese carvings and

statuary, each suggesting a

variety of extraterrestrial

encounters.

Tsoulakos: This is a Dogu

figure, and it comes from Japan.

And even to the untrained eye,

you look at this, and it's as if

this being is wearing some type

of a suit... with a helmet, some

goggles, on the back there are

all these weird buckles and

circles, you know, straps.

Very similar to a modern-day

space suit.

In my opinion, this is a

likeness of a possible

extraterrestrial that visited

Earth thousands of years ago.

Narrator: Archaeologists have

catalogued the existence of

more than 15,000 Dogu figures

made during the Jomon period of

prehistoric Japan, dating from

approximately 14,000 to 300

years B.C.

But could, as ancient astronaut

theorists believe, these strange

Dogu figures really be a

primitive interpretation of a

pressurized space suit or diving

apparel?

Tsoulakos: The story behind

those Dogu figures is very

clear, and anyone can go and

read translations of the ancient

texts that the Dogu, a long time

ago, descended from the sky and

taught the first Japanese people

in various disciplines.

Wilcock: And the whole

Japanese culture, including the

kimono, the tea ceremony, the

use of wasabi and ginger for

eating sushi, the way that they

build their architecture, their

written language, everything

they say came from these

visitors, from these gods, from

the universe.

Von Daniken: The pictures

shows beings who look like

astronauts.

They are dressed like an

astronaut.

They have the helmet as an

astronaut.

They have some strange tools in

their hands, tools which we

do not understand.

Now, there is a link.

The Japanese call it "Dogus."

In North America, we have still

the Hopi tribe, in Arizona, and

the Hopi Indians are still

making today kachina dolls.

Kachina dolls look similar to

the Japanese Dogu figures.

Further back, in the Sahara

Desert, Africa, we found cave

paintings.

When you see the picture,

you see definitely an astronaut

suit.

No doubt.

Absolutely.

Now, you compare these cave

paintings with the kachina dolls

of the Hopi, and with the Dogu

of Japan.

You have one line.

Narrator: Do the mysterious

Dogu figures provide tangible

evidence of extraterrestrial

encounters in Japan's ancient

past?

And does the legend of the

Utsuro Bune suggest that the

Earth's oceans may be hiding

even more proof of alien

contact?

Perhaps the answer can be found

deep in the waters off the coast

of India.

Narrator: In 2001,

researchers from India's Oceanic

Institute detected anomalies on

the bottom of the Gulf of

Khambhat, seven miles from

shore.

Hancock: They had been

commissioned by the Indian

government to do a survey of

pollution in the Gulf of

Khambhat up in the northwest of

India.

And they were not expecting to

find anything except a mess

down there.

But suddenly, their side-scan

sonar started returning images

of regular structures.

Narrator: The images revealed

an enormous network of stone

buildings, now shrouded in mud

and sand, and covering a

distance of five square miles.

Hancock: What we're looking

at in the Gulf of Khambhat are

the remains of cities.

There's actually two of them.

And it turns out that they are

positioned on the side of

ancient river channels.

They look lime cities that have

been submerged for a very long

time, at a time when mainstream

archeology tells us there were

no cities anywhere in the world.

Narrator: Powerful

crosscurrents made it nearly

impossible to dive the 170 feet

to the bottom.

Still, scientists retrieved

dozens of artifacts, including

wood and pottery shards.

Cremo: Some of the dates on

some of the human artifacts that

were brought up extended as far

back as 32,000 years.

But the oceanographers concluded

that the area had been covered

by water about 9,000 years ago.

So this city had apparently

existed from 32,000 to about

9,000 years ago.

Childress: Mainstream

scholars today claim that

ancient Indian civilization

only goes back 4,000 or 5,000

years.

Yet, Hindu scholars themselves

say that Hindu civilization is

going back, uh, many tens of

thousands, even hundreds of

thousands of years.

Narrator: Might the ruins

below the Gulf of Khambhat prove

the Hindu scholars right?

Another recent discovery may

support their claims.

200 miles to the northwest lies

the modern city of Dwaraka.

Archaeologists digging deep

under the city found signs of a

settlement once inundated by

the sea.

Inspired by this clue, they

began searching for more ruins

in waters just off the coast.

In only 70 feet of water, divers

discovered sandstone walls,

cobblestone streets and evidence

of a prosperous seaport.

Scholars declared these ruins

to be the remains of the

ancient and legendary city of

Dwaraka.

Ancient Hindu texts explain that

the legendary city of Dwaraka

was said to be the dwelling

place of Lord Krishna, a deity

worshipped across many

traditions of Hinduism.

Tsoulakos: Imagine what it

would mean for the Christian

world to all of a sudden

discover the actual Holy Grail,

the actual Ark of the Covenant.

That would be akin, for the

Indian population, to discover

an actual Dwaraka.

This was a very powerful city,

which was ruled by Lord Krishna.

And Krishna is still revered

until today.

He's one of the highest gods

that we have in Hindu culture.

Narrator: Hindu texts explain

that a king named Salwa attacked

Lord Krishna in the mythical

Dwaraka.

Ancient astronaut theorists

believe the descriptions of the

battle suggest the use of alien

technology and even spacecraft.

Cremo: According to the

ancient Sanskrit texts, with

this spacecraft, Salwa attacked

the city, raining down energy

weapons that resemble lightning.

(explosive popping and rumbling)

He destroyed large parts of the

city in this way

When this happened, the king of

the city, the god Krishna,

responded by firing weapons at

this spacecraft.

The weapons are described as

arrows, but they're not ordinary

arrows.

It's said that they roared like

thunder when they were launched,

and resembled bolts of lightning

or rays of the sun.

In response, it is said that the

spacecraft began to appear in

different places simultaneously.

It appeared to be moving in ways

that resemble modern

descriptions of UFOs.

So what I find interesting about

this account is, there's a

spacecraft made of metal that is

firing down weapons on a city on

Earth.

Narrator: The legend says

that Krishna eventually departed

Earth, and the ocean consumed

his city of Dwaraka.

Cremo: For many people, the

description of fabulous ancient

cities in the Sanskrit writings

of India were simply mythology,

but with the discovery of the

remains of a sunken city off the

coast of India in the location

of Dwaraka, all that has

changed.

People are beginning to look at

these ancient writings in a new

light, and see them not simply

as mythology, but as actual

historical records.

Narrator: Did India's

ancestors witness a war between

extraterrestrial entities?

If the mythical city cited in

the Hindu texts turned out to be

real, could there also be

evidence of Krishna and his

supernatural powers?

Ancient alien theorists believe

a link between the submerged

ruins and extraterrestrials can

be found in another set of texts

known as India's Sangam

literature.

Cremo: Sangams were

assemblies of sages.

It says that the first two

Sangams took place on a sunken

landmass called Kumari Kandam.

This area was once above water

thousands of years ago,

according to the accounts, but

it's now underwater.

It's also interesting that these

assemblies of sages included

extraterrestrial beings, as

well.

And this fits in with evidence

discovered in the Gulf of

Cambay, and off the coast of the

present city of Dwaraka.

Narrator: Are the

interpretations of India's

ancient texts proof of alien

contact in Earth's past?

And are the descriptions of

gods actually descriptions of

extraterrestrials?

Perhaps another discovery...

one beneath a mysterious lake...

will yield even more

evidence of alien visitors in

the remote past.

Narrator: The Andes

Mountains, Peru.

Here, at an elevation of 12,500

feet, lie the dark waters of

Lake Titicaca, the highest

navigable body of water in the

world.

In August of 2000, an Italian

team of divers and

archaeologists launched an

underwater investigation of the

legendary lake.

There, submerged under 100

feet of water, the team

uncovered traces of a paved

road, a stone terrace, and a

wall nearly a half mile long.

For centuries, local legends

have spoken of a lost

underwater city called Wanaku.

Could these ruins provide proof

that such a city did, in fact,

exist?

Then, another shocking

discovery.

Lying on the lake bed was a

large, sculptured stone head.

Could this ancient relic offer

a clue to the origins of this

incredible archaeological find?

Comparisons were quickly made

to similar stonework found at

the nearby ancient city of

Tiahuana, just 12 miles south

of Lake Titicaca... a city long

thought by ancient astronaut

theorists to have

extraterrestrial origins.

Childress: When the early

conquistadors talked to the

local Aymara Indians they were

told that-that giants at the

beginning of creation had

created Tiahuanaco.

The Spanish, too, were amazed by

the gigantic blocks of stone.

They felt that the devil had

built this building.

Hancock: If you look at some

of the rock cut on megalithic

structures at the site of

Tiahuanaco, I personally

believe very strongly that we

are looking at an older episode

of construction and the traces

of a forgotten episode in the

human story.

Narrator: But if the ruins

found at the bottom of Lake

Titicaca are from the legendary

lost city of Wanaku, what

happened to it?

Did it fall prey to a major

earthquake or other natural

disaster?

Or was the city, as some

ancient astronaut theorists

believe, deliberately flooded?

Childress: The more you know

about Lake Titicaca, the

stranger it gets.

Archeologists have problems in

really explaining why there are

sunken ruins there, because

they're saying that the ruins

aren't that old.

They're only 1,500 years old.

And that would mean that Lake

Titicaca has gone through a

number of major changes in that

period.

And it's possible that somehow

the lake itself and the

shorelines were manipulated so

that certain areas of Lake

Titicaca were flooded in a sort

of artificial way.

There is a type of seahorse

that lives in Lake Titicaca.

And seahorses are coming from

saltwater and oceans, yet these

seahorses are living at

nearly 13,000 feet in the Andes.

Narrator: But just how could

an ancient people have

artificially created South

America's largest lake?

A lake that is 118 miles

long and 50 miles wide?

Tsoulakos: When you ask the

local population, "How did all

of this come into being?" the

Aymara Indians will tell

you that all of this has

existed since before the

beginning of time.

Delgado Mamani: In the Aymara

legends, the lake is like the...

the place of genesis, the

place where it starts... all the

civilizations... in our

continent.

We have these very, very, very

old roots.

I mean, we're not talking only

about this civilization, this

humanity.

We are talking about our seeds,

the roots of the stars.

Some people believe that the

extraterrestrial built, but

what I believe is that the

space brothers help us, direct

us, teach us, because they had

the experience in many ways.

The legend says that once the

space brothers came to this

planet and they used to live

with us, and they was very

important in our lives and they

used to be very powerful people.

Narrator: But is it possible

that the lost city of Wanaku

was really built, or inhabited,

by the ancient ancestors of

the indigenous Aymara people?

And if so, could it have been

deliberately flooded to avoid

detection from the outside

world?

Cristina Sovrosa

(translated): The elders, they

used to talk about the

underwater city.

They talk about the lights like

stars connecting with the lake.

The stars, when they come down

to the lake, there is changes

in the temperatures.

Delgado Mamani: There is many

legends with lights coming from

the underground of the lake.

It seems they come, they go

and they return in different

moments.

Childress: You start to get

the idea that there is some kind

of ancient alien underwater

base.

And it's possible that some of

these sunken ruins are, uh,

somehow part of that base.

Narrator: Could the ancient

city of Wanaku really have been

built by alien visitors?

And if so, why?

What was their purpose?

Could the discovr of this and

other sunken cities pride the

evidence that mankind has been

seeking for centuries...

evidence that proves... that we

are not alone?

Hancock: These mysterious

underwater structures really

don't have any context or any

background; they just seem to

come from nowhere.

They seem to stand out as being

out of place in time, so there's

some question marks, some

mystery surrounding them that

might shed new light on human

history.

Tsoulakos: Atlantis, Lake

Titicaca, Dwaraka.

All those ancient mystery

places always have had a

connection to the gods.

The gods who, in the ancient

astronaut opinion, were flesh

and blood extraterrestrials.

And in the end, the ancient

astronaut theory will be proven

right.
