15 00:00:37,540 --> 00:00:41,410 Or might they be accounts of alien vehicles? 16 00:00:41,530 --> 00:00:43,320 You begin to have to ask yourself... 17 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:44,657 is something going on here? 18 00:00:44,669 --> 00:00:46,783 Are we missing part of the story? 19 00:00:46,795 --> 00:00:48,870 And honestly, I think we are. 20 00:00:48,853 --> 00:00:51,345 Millions of people around the world 21 00:00:51,465 --> 00:00:55,964 believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 22 00:00:56,204 --> 00:00:58,958 What if it were true? 23 00:00:59,780 --> 00:01:03,509 Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 24 00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:05,464 And if so, 25 00:01:05,476 --> 00:01:08,505 might we find evidence in ancient stories 26 00:01:08,517 --> 00:01:10,860 of alien transports? 27 00:01:22,453 --> 00:01:32,491 - synced and corrected by chamallow - - www.addic7ed.com - 28 00:01:44,965 --> 00:01:47,251 Saqqara, Egypt. 29 00:01:47,606 --> 00:01:50,841 Located roughly 20 miles south of Cairo, 30 00:01:50,961 --> 00:01:53,596 it is home to the world famous step pyramid 31 00:01:53,596 --> 00:01:55,220 of King Djoser. 32 00:01:56,957 --> 00:01:59,999 Dating back more than 4,000 years, 33 00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:03,737 it is the oldest of Egypt's 97 pyramids. 34 00:02:05,567 --> 00:02:10,905 Saqqara is also famous for being one of Egypt's oldest burial grounds, 35 00:02:10,917 --> 00:02:15,900 earning it the nickname "city of the dead." 36 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,486 It was here, in 1891, 37 00:02:18,606 --> 00:02:22,144 that French archeologists unearthed an ancient tomb 38 00:02:22,264 --> 00:02:25,448 containing the burial remains of Pa-di-Imen, 39 00:02:25,568 --> 00:02:28,878 an official from the third century B.C. 40 00:02:29,130 --> 00:02:31,691 Among the various items discovered 41 00:02:31,713 --> 00:02:35,441 was a small, wooden model of what appeared to be a bird 42 00:02:35,561 --> 00:02:41,157 lying beside a papyrus bearing the inscription, "I want to fly." 43 00:02:42,643 --> 00:02:46,541 The artifact was later sent to the Cairo museum, 44 00:02:46,541 --> 00:02:50,989 where authorities placed it alongside several other bird figurines. 45 00:02:51,109 --> 00:02:53,710 The model sat largely unnoticed 46 00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:56,420 until 1969, 47 00:02:56,650 --> 00:02:58,946 when Egyptologist Dr. Khalil Messiha 48 00:02:58,946 --> 00:03:00,958 was examining the bird collection 49 00:03:00,958 --> 00:03:03,691 and noticed that there was something very different 50 00:03:03,702 --> 00:03:05,715 about the Saqqara Bird. 51 00:03:05,835 --> 00:03:09,442 It's, uh, interesting, because on one hand, clearly, 52 00:03:09,453 --> 00:03:12,499 it should look like a bird because it has eyes, 53 00:03:12,506 --> 00:03:15,239 and has a typical nose of a bird. 54 00:03:15,359 --> 00:03:16,622 Uh, on the other hand, 55 00:03:16,634 --> 00:03:19,183 the wings are clearly not bird wings. 56 00:03:20,402 --> 00:03:22,899 To the middle of the rump 57 00:03:22,917 --> 00:03:25,780 you'll see this wing a bit thicker. 58 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:27,975 In this region, 59 00:03:28,950 --> 00:03:30,811 the lift up is the highest. 60 00:03:31,186 --> 00:03:33,738 The whole thing becomes thinner 61 00:03:33,747 --> 00:03:36,564 to the, um, end of the wings, 62 00:03:37,104 --> 00:03:40,726 and those wings are modeled down. 63 00:03:40,772 --> 00:03:45,400 And this is a very modern aerodynamic design. 64 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,678 Then the other point is 65 00:03:46,686 --> 00:03:48,306 birds have no rudders, 66 00:03:48,426 --> 00:03:51,590 because a bird does not need a rudder 67 00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:53,356 because of its aerodynamic architecture. 68 00:03:53,392 --> 00:03:56,273 And so there is the idea 69 00:03:56,312 --> 00:03:59,113 they are not representing birds, 70 00:03:59,115 --> 00:04:02,209 but flying machines, or aircraft. 71 00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:12,330 Could the ancient Egyptians have possessed the power of flight? 72 00:04:12,344 --> 00:04:14,274 In 2006, 73 00:04:14,293 --> 00:04:17,805 aviation and aerodynamics expert Simon Sanderson 74 00:04:17,841 --> 00:04:20,840 built a scale model of the Saqqara Bird... 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,411 five times larger than the original... 76 00:04:23,438 --> 00:04:25,441 to test that possibility. 77 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,121 We're running at a constant speed, 78 00:04:40,148 --> 00:04:42,636 slowly increasing the angle of attack 79 00:04:42,646 --> 00:04:45,472 and then measuring the forces which it's producing, 80 00:04:45,472 --> 00:04:48,371 that way we can learn about its flight characteristics. 81 00:04:49,341 --> 00:04:50,877 At ten degrees, 82 00:04:50,914 --> 00:04:53,319 - we're producing four times weight and lift. - Yeah. 83 00:04:53,347 --> 00:04:55,210 - So it actually would be flying now. - Yeah. 84 00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:56,375 That's good. 85 00:04:56,393 --> 00:04:59,000 Tests show the Saqqara Bird 86 00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:02,256 is a highly developed glider. 87 00:05:04,259 --> 00:05:07,624 And this is a design we use today. 88 00:05:07,744 --> 00:05:09,883 During the Sanderson tests, 89 00:05:09,883 --> 00:05:14,621 it was discovered that the only thing preventing the Saqqara Bird from achieving flight 90 00:05:14,649 --> 00:05:17,283 was the lack of a rear stabilizing rudder 91 00:05:17,328 --> 00:05:20,841 or elevator needed to maintain balance. 92 00:05:21,230 --> 00:05:23,849 Is it possible that the Saqqara Bird 93 00:05:23,868 --> 00:05:26,401 ever possessed this critical component? 94 00:05:26,428 --> 00:05:29,840 What is missing is something like an elevator. 95 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,108 But if you look at this feature here, 96 00:05:32,154 --> 00:05:37,100 and we may interpret that something like an elevator 97 00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:38,913 was connected here, 98 00:05:38,923 --> 00:05:41,154 but was lost during history. 99 00:05:44,612 --> 00:05:46,999 Computer models seem to confirm 100 00:05:46,999 --> 00:05:50,109 that the Saqqara Bird is certainly airworthy. 101 00:05:50,146 --> 00:05:53,360 But there is another problem to consider: 102 00:05:53,156 --> 00:05:54,856 launching a glider. 103 00:05:54,902 --> 00:05:58,110 Modern methods require the use of a tow plane 104 00:05:58,110 --> 00:06:00,325 that pulls the glider into the air, 105 00:06:00,362 --> 00:06:03,508 then releases it when a proper altitude is reached. 106 00:06:03,628 --> 00:06:07,660 So how might the ancient Egyptians have launched the Saqqara Bird? 107 00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:10,560 The Scientifics of Egyptology 108 00:06:10,569 --> 00:06:14,713 told us that such a bird could be 109 00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:17,832 powered off by catapults to fly. 110 00:06:17,952 --> 00:06:20,914 And we had high acceptance 111 00:06:20,941 --> 00:06:23,228 by Egyptian scientists. 112 00:06:23,348 --> 00:06:25,396 The idea of using a catapult 113 00:06:25,432 --> 00:06:27,912 does have a contemporary parallel. 114 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,454 Many of today's glider enthusiasts 115 00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:32,412 employ a bungee cord system 116 00:06:32,412 --> 00:06:34,899 to launch their sail craft into the air. 117 00:06:36,847 --> 00:06:39,966 But if the Saqqara Bird is capable of flight, 118 00:06:39,984 --> 00:06:43,834 where would ancient Egyptians have acquired such technology? 119 00:06:43,954 --> 00:06:46,615 I think that people in ancient times 120 00:06:46,652 --> 00:06:49,834 were visited by beings coming not from this earth 121 00:06:49,871 --> 00:06:51,992 and they gave us culture 122 00:06:52,380 --> 00:06:54,645 and scientific technologies 123 00:06:54,672 --> 00:06:58,697 to improve our life on Earth 124 00:06:58,733 --> 00:07:02,602 coming from the primitive to a higher developped culture. 125 00:07:06,747 --> 00:07:09,436 It's a fact that our ancestors were 126 00:07:09,445 --> 00:07:11,571 more intelligent and had more 127 00:07:11,594 --> 00:07:14,850 technological superiority capabilities than 128 00:07:14,869 --> 00:07:17,759 our history books give them credit for. 129 00:07:18,216 --> 00:07:19,963 You begin to have to ask yourself, 130 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,756 are we missing part of the story? 131 00:07:21,792 --> 00:07:23,550 And honestly, I think we are. 132 00:07:23,175 --> 00:07:25,948 I think there has been a forgotten episode in human history 133 00:07:25,975 --> 00:07:29,451 and, uh, we're a species with amnesia. 134 00:07:29,470 --> 00:07:32,401 We don't really remember who or what we are. 135 00:07:32,804 --> 00:07:34,737 I haven't been 136 00:07:34,857 --> 00:07:37,308 convinced that there is evidence 137 00:07:37,326 --> 00:07:40,573 that supports an ancient visitation. 138 00:07:40,875 --> 00:07:43,911 But there is no reason why not. 139 00:07:44,310 --> 00:07:47,396 And I think to shut oneself to that possibility 140 00:07:47,516 --> 00:07:50,100 is a mistake. Mainly because there are so many anomalies 141 00:07:50,110 --> 00:07:51,812 that we can't explain. 142 00:07:54,849 --> 00:07:56,595 Could the Saqqara Bird 143 00:07:56,613 --> 00:08:00,125 really be a model of an ancient flying machine? 144 00:08:00,583 --> 00:08:01,964 And if so, 145 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,680 might this be evidence that our ancestors 146 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,350 witnessed alien technology? 147 00:08:08,402 --> 00:08:11,720 Perhaps further proof can be found 148 00:08:11,730 --> 00:08:14,411 by examining a century-old Mexican ritual 149 00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:17,455 called the Dance of the Flyers. 150 00:08:22,807 --> 00:08:25,377 Veracruz, Mexico. 151 00:08:26,492 --> 00:08:29,630 Five men in ceremonial dress 152 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,752 ascend a 100-foot pole. 153 00:08:32,202 --> 00:08:33,627 Once at the top, 154 00:08:33,645 --> 00:08:36,298 one of the men performs a sacred dance 155 00:08:36,344 --> 00:08:39,445 while playing a flute and drum atop a platform. 156 00:08:39,565 --> 00:08:43,450 The other four men launch themselves off. 157 00:08:44,978 --> 00:08:49,387 It is a ritual known as la Danza de los Voladores, 158 00:08:49,507 --> 00:08:52,277 or "the Dance of the Flyers." 159 00:08:52,397 --> 00:08:54,409 The ritual has the leader 160 00:08:54,446 --> 00:08:56,631 stand on the top of the pole... a tiny little platform... 161 00:08:56,667 --> 00:09:00,472 and the four flyers wrap a cable around that pole 162 00:09:00,499 --> 00:09:03,737 and then branch out and fly around in a pyramid shape 163 00:09:03,737 --> 00:09:05,484 in perfect synchronous order. 164 00:09:05,493 --> 00:09:08,401 It's a stunning and daring thing to do. 165 00:09:08,731 --> 00:09:10,633 And they are representing the birds, 166 00:09:10,670 --> 00:09:12,920 they are representing the four cardinal directions, 167 00:09:12,947 --> 00:09:14,338 they are representing the elements, 168 00:09:14,365 --> 00:09:16,277 heavily symbolic and mythic, 169 00:09:16,304 --> 00:09:18,426 and it is a powerful ritual. 170 00:09:22,314 --> 00:09:25,921 The Totanac people who practice this ceremony today 171 00:09:26,410 --> 00:09:29,772 claim it is a dance that was invented 500 years ago 172 00:09:29,818 --> 00:09:33,412 as a plea to the gods to end a severe drought. 173 00:09:33,659 --> 00:09:35,936 But could this ancient ritual 174 00:09:35,945 --> 00:09:39,906 have different perhaps otherworldly... origins? 175 00:09:40,260 --> 00:09:41,808 What we have here 176 00:09:41,845 --> 00:09:45,705 with the Voladores is 100% 177 00:09:45,724 --> 00:09:47,891 living mythology. 178 00:09:47,937 --> 00:09:51,705 Something that describes and illustrates... 179 00:09:51,732 --> 00:09:54,239 in front of our living eye... 180 00:09:54,359 --> 00:09:58,236 the descent of the gods from a long time ago. 181 00:10:01,890 --> 00:10:03,732 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 182 00:10:03,852 --> 00:10:05,544 the Voladores ritual 183 00:10:05,563 --> 00:10:07,859 is a reenactment of a close encounter 184 00:10:07,877 --> 00:10:10,721 with alien visitors in the distant past. 185 00:10:11,883 --> 00:10:14,591 They believe extraterrestrials 186 00:10:14,627 --> 00:10:18,569 descended upon the flat mountaintops of the Palpa region in Peru 187 00:10:18,689 --> 00:10:20,956 around 500 A.D., 188 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,940 dropping from their aircraft 189 00:10:22,968 --> 00:10:26,627 and gliding down to earth in spiraling circles. 190 00:10:27,660 --> 00:10:30,230 The Voladores ritual 191 00:10:30,350 --> 00:10:34,145 was very technological, as in, 192 00:10:34,154 --> 00:10:37,493 you know, these beings descending from the sky 193 00:10:37,539 --> 00:10:42,350 and the circle signifying arrival of the gods. 194 00:10:43,191 --> 00:10:48,625 Where does that flying or descending gods motif originate? 195 00:10:51,634 --> 00:10:55,184 Our ancestors saw something. 196 00:10:55,403 --> 00:10:59,520 Because why would you hurl yourself 197 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,732 from a 100-foot pole 198 00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:04,550 out of nothing to imitate a bird? 199 00:11:04,820 --> 00:11:06,104 Birds are not that important. 200 00:11:06,113 --> 00:11:09,250 Something very significant happened. 201 00:11:09,936 --> 00:11:12,113 Could an alien encounter 202 00:11:12,140 --> 00:11:15,973 really be the inspiration for the Voladores ritual? 203 00:11:16,210 --> 00:11:19,832 And could the Totanac people who created the ceremony 204 00:11:19,952 --> 00:11:21,790 really have been trying to mimic 205 00:11:21,826 --> 00:11:24,332 the ancient gods' power of flight? 206 00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:31,155 As further evidence that early humans 207 00:11:31,192 --> 00:11:33,424 may have encountered alien visitors 208 00:11:33,451 --> 00:11:35,372 equipped with the power of flight, 209 00:11:36,241 --> 00:11:38,207 ancient astronaut theorists 210 00:11:38,235 --> 00:11:40,924 point to various artifacts and statues 211 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,265 depicting ancient gods. 212 00:11:43,385 --> 00:11:45,936 One such example is the Mayan god, 213 00:11:45,954 --> 00:11:50,362 Ah-Muzen-Cab, also known as the flying Bee God. 214 00:11:50,957 --> 00:11:53,545 Another is the most prominent god 215 00:11:53,554 --> 00:11:56,244 of early Mesoamerican culture, 216 00:11:56,271 --> 00:11:59,143 the winged deity Quetzalcoatl. 217 00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,450 The Mesoamericans believed in the plumed serpent, 218 00:12:03,487 --> 00:12:05,324 or Quetzalcoatl, 219 00:12:05,361 --> 00:12:08,410 which, ah, came from the sky, bringing wisdom, 220 00:12:08,410 --> 00:12:09,678 uh, powered the wind 221 00:12:09,798 --> 00:12:12,148 and also influenced everything 222 00:12:12,193 --> 00:12:14,845 that happened in the daily life of the Mayans. 223 00:12:14,965 --> 00:12:17,260 In fact, they looked to the sky for all their answers, 224 00:12:17,306 --> 00:12:21,370 uh, from everything as simple as when to plant corn to when to go to war. 225 00:12:21,157 --> 00:12:24,303 Uh, they believed all answers in the universe came from the sky 226 00:12:24,330 --> 00:12:26,708 and trying to relate that to their daily lives. 227 00:12:26,828 --> 00:12:29,520 The ancient record are loaded 228 00:12:29,610 --> 00:12:32,738 with fantastic examples of the gods flying around. 229 00:12:32,774 --> 00:12:34,667 These are the ancient aliens, 230 00:12:34,677 --> 00:12:36,195 and humans are being shown 231 00:12:36,241 --> 00:12:38,719 the ultimate capability of these gods. 232 00:12:39,872 --> 00:12:41,600 In my eyes, 233 00:12:41,619 --> 00:12:43,595 because we are the sons of the gods, 234 00:12:43,641 --> 00:12:45,525 we are the offsprings of the gods, 235 00:12:45,553 --> 00:12:48,799 whatever humans can dream, 236 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:51,470 whatever humans think, 237 00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,552 was once reality in the past 238 00:12:54,561 --> 00:12:58,375 or will be reality in the future. 239 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,539 July 31, 2003. 240 00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:06,378 The English Channel. 241 00:13:06,387 --> 00:13:07,996 Felix Baumgartner 242 00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:12,175 becomes the first person to cross this 22-mile wide body of water 243 00:13:12,212 --> 00:13:16,502 in freefall using a specially made fiber wing. 244 00:13:16,622 --> 00:13:18,456 But the Austrian daredevil 245 00:13:18,475 --> 00:13:20,990 is just one of many who have used wing suits 246 00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:24,704 to simulate flying by means of a free fall. 247 00:13:29,797 --> 00:13:32,761 A wing suit is basically a jumpsuit 248 00:13:32,881 --> 00:13:35,843 that you put on under your rig 249 00:13:35,852 --> 00:13:39,693 and it's designed to actually make you fly 250 00:13:39,712 --> 00:13:41,570 when you exit the plane. 251 00:13:41,177 --> 00:13:44,100 Uh, the material inflates underneath your arms, 252 00:13:44,110 --> 00:13:45,666 in between your legs, 253 00:13:45,694 --> 00:13:49,261 and creates, basically, an airfoil 254 00:13:49,381 --> 00:13:51,739 that you glide on through the air. 255 00:13:51,776 --> 00:13:53,377 It's an amazing feeling 256 00:13:53,404 --> 00:13:57,831 because you're actually the pilot and the plane. 257 00:13:57,951 --> 00:13:59,724 It is total freedom. 258 00:13:59,844 --> 00:14:02,176 You feel as though you're flying. 259 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,474 Though you are falling, 260 00:14:06,703 --> 00:14:10,307 you're using the air to maneuver your body. 261 00:14:10,427 --> 00:14:13,420 And the wing suit helps you cover a lot of ground 262 00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:14,844 as you're descending. 263 00:14:14,964 --> 00:14:17,276 Some people have been exceeding 264 00:14:17,285 --> 00:14:19,370 two-to-one glide ratio. 265 00:14:19,490 --> 00:14:22,197 For example, three-to-one would mean, 266 00:14:22,233 --> 00:14:24,400 for every foot 267 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,684 you descend, you're traveling three feet forward. 268 00:14:29,138 --> 00:14:32,422 We got these flying guys that have these wings 269 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,667 attached to their backs, and they hurl themselves out of planes, 270 00:14:36,787 --> 00:14:40,343 and some even have rocket engines attached to them. 271 00:14:40,370 --> 00:14:45,210 And so, they essentially themselves become airplanes. 272 00:14:45,795 --> 00:14:48,794 Now imagine showing that 273 00:14:48,831 --> 00:14:51,410 to someone from 100 years ago. 274 00:14:51,447 --> 00:14:55,626 That person would be in complete awe of what they're witnessing, 275 00:14:55,635 --> 00:15:01,420 not understanding that there is technology involved with this. 276 00:15:01,627 --> 00:15:04,810 Just using our own body, we cannot fly. 277 00:15:04,829 --> 00:15:08,231 We have no wings. But, of course, we have the fantasy, 278 00:15:08,235 --> 00:15:10,911 and we have the technology to develop 279 00:15:10,938 --> 00:15:13,225 wings that we can fly. 280 00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:15,830 The pursuit of flight 281 00:15:15,950 --> 00:15:19,169 has been one of the most sought after quests 282 00:15:19,289 --> 00:15:22,234 in all of mankind's history. Why? 283 00:15:22,354 --> 00:15:24,539 Because, with flight, 284 00:15:24,659 --> 00:15:27,493 you could reach, conceivably, 285 00:15:27,539 --> 00:15:30,155 the realm of the gods. 286 00:15:35,771 --> 00:15:38,341 From the ancient Greek myth of Icarus 287 00:15:38,386 --> 00:15:41,277 fashioning wings of feathers and wax, 288 00:15:41,397 --> 00:15:44,862 to modern daredevils like Felix Baumgartner, 289 00:15:44,908 --> 00:15:47,551 human beings have been fascinated with, 290 00:15:47,561 --> 00:15:49,508 and often frustrated by, 291 00:15:49,536 --> 00:15:51,831 their desire to fly. 292 00:15:51,951 --> 00:15:56,743 But have birds really served as mankind's inspiration? 293 00:15:56,990 --> 00:16:00,263 Or were they inspired by something else? 294 00:16:00,383 --> 00:16:03,849 Perhaps something extraterrestrial? 295 00:16:03,969 --> 00:16:06,886 Ancient astronaut theorists say "yes", 296 00:16:06,914 --> 00:16:10,790 and claim further proof can be found by examining 297 00:16:10,790 --> 00:16:13,829 Ancient China's mysterious stories of dragons. 298 00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:26,578 Celestial beings coming down to earth. 299 00:16:26,806 --> 00:16:30,191 Gods descending from the sky. 300 00:16:30,804 --> 00:16:33,808 Do similar accounts exist in other cultures 301 00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:36,414 and other religions across the world? 302 00:16:36,534 --> 00:16:38,371 And if so, 303 00:16:38,491 --> 00:16:40,356 what is the explanation? 304 00:16:40,658 --> 00:16:43,978 We have to remind ourselves that our ancestors 305 00:16:43,996 --> 00:16:45,816 were highly intelligent. 306 00:16:45,834 --> 00:16:49,747 However, their technological frame of reference 307 00:16:49,774 --> 00:16:53,973 was different than our technological frame of reference. 308 00:16:54,930 --> 00:16:57,168 So, they didn't have the vocabulary 309 00:16:57,195 --> 00:17:00,964 with which to describe, or with which to name 310 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,488 certain things that they saw. 311 00:17:03,497 --> 00:17:05,250 So, what did they do? 312 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,540 They used words that they were familiar with in their time. 313 00:17:10,660 --> 00:17:14,666 And so, they tried to describe whatever they witnessed 314 00:17:14,703 --> 00:17:19,431 to the best of their abilities with their vocabulary. 315 00:17:24,855 --> 00:17:28,312 Ancient China also shared some of the same beliefs 316 00:17:28,339 --> 00:17:30,168 that can be found in Egyptian, 317 00:17:30,196 --> 00:17:33,305 Native American and Dogon legends... 318 00:17:33,425 --> 00:17:36,635 that deities arrived from the stars. 319 00:17:36,982 --> 00:17:39,314 According to Chinese mythology 320 00:17:39,314 --> 00:17:42,112 dating back to 3,000 B.C., 321 00:17:42,232 --> 00:17:44,984 when the god named Huang Di was born, 322 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:48,185 there was "a radiance from the great star Chi." 323 00:17:51,213 --> 00:17:55,886 Huang Di would later emerge from the belly of a fire-breathing dragon 324 00:17:55,904 --> 00:17:58,548 to become China's first emperor. 325 00:17:58,668 --> 00:18:00,899 The origins of the Han Chinese people 326 00:18:00,926 --> 00:18:03,534 start with a story of a great god 327 00:18:03,561 --> 00:18:05,893 looking down with empathy. 328 00:18:06,186 --> 00:18:08,940 Here were people in poverty, 329 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,193 in a beautiful, rich country, the landscape profound. 330 00:18:13,221 --> 00:18:15,251 But the people were suffering. 331 00:18:15,755 --> 00:18:20,355 He took pity, and decided to come down. 332 00:18:25,750 --> 00:18:27,187 Huang Di arrived 333 00:18:27,215 --> 00:18:31,468 on planet Earth in a flying dragon. 334 00:18:32,575 --> 00:18:35,227 He had the power of flight. 335 00:18:35,264 --> 00:18:39,910 Huang Di could be anywhere within minutes. 336 00:18:39,947 --> 00:18:42,653 And he usually accomplished this by 337 00:18:42,690 --> 00:18:47,530 hopping on his dragon and flying somewhere. 338 00:18:50,263 --> 00:18:53,583 Now this divine energy becomes human, 339 00:18:53,619 --> 00:18:56,573 and is a great leader, the yellow emperor 340 00:18:56,592 --> 00:18:58,979 who rules and unites the people, 341 00:18:58,979 --> 00:19:02,784 and there is a period of great prosperity until his work is done. 342 00:19:03,891 --> 00:19:06,946 Huang Di brought order to the chaos, 343 00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:09,845 creating China's first empire. 344 00:19:10,129 --> 00:19:12,882 He is seen as a cultural hero, 345 00:19:12,928 --> 00:19:16,129 and is credited with the invention of the compass, 346 00:19:16,166 --> 00:19:20,684 acupuncture and the standardization of Chinese writing. 347 00:19:20,894 --> 00:19:25,920 One of his greatest legacies is the Great Wall of China. 348 00:19:25,212 --> 00:19:29,455 When the land is prosperous, he decides it's time to go, 349 00:19:29,473 --> 00:19:31,669 and the great yellow dragon comes back, 350 00:19:31,678 --> 00:19:35,546 and he gets back into the belly of the dragon and flies off forever. 351 00:19:38,392 --> 00:19:39,471 Now, 352 00:19:39,864 --> 00:19:41,904 were these dragons 353 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,580 truly dragons in a 354 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,935 biological nature? 355 00:19:49,377 --> 00:19:54,535 Or were they misinterpreted types of machines? 356 00:19:54,655 --> 00:19:56,346 Because, as we all know, 357 00:19:56,365 --> 00:20:02,584 dragons are always correlated with spewing fire and a lot of smoke. 358 00:20:03,773 --> 00:20:07,880 Whenever we see a modern rocket take off, there is all this smoke, 359 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,111 and sometimes the smoke is yellow, 360 00:20:10,129 --> 00:20:11,638 and sometimes it's red. 361 00:20:11,647 --> 00:20:14,455 So, it's very bizarre how we have these 362 00:20:14,455 --> 00:20:17,346 correlations between the ancient times 363 00:20:17,391 --> 00:20:20,126 and modern times today. 364 00:20:20,246 --> 00:20:23,254 Mythology is the effort to grasp what 365 00:20:23,263 --> 00:20:26,226 we can't grasp, to understand what is beyond us. 366 00:20:26,254 --> 00:20:30,433 In the Eastern teachings, the dragons very often carry people, 367 00:20:30,442 --> 00:20:32,124 sometimes on their back, 368 00:20:32,125 --> 00:20:33,653 sometimes inside their bellies. 369 00:20:33,698 --> 00:20:36,497 So, if we think of them as a poet's effort 370 00:20:36,524 --> 00:20:39,625 to explain a vehicle that was strange to them, 371 00:20:39,745 --> 00:20:41,573 well, those sound like flying saucers. 372 00:20:41,610 --> 00:20:43,988 So, it might just be a problem of translation, 373 00:20:44,250 --> 00:20:45,479 because after all, it's just a word. 374 00:20:45,525 --> 00:20:48,972 It's trying to describe something that's very difficult to grasp. 375 00:20:53,664 --> 00:20:55,979 Could Chine tales of dragons 376 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,625 be based on ancient interpretations of rocket ships descending to Earth? 377 00:21:00,652 --> 00:21:04,820 And, if so, could the legends of Huang Di... 378 00:21:04,820 --> 00:21:05,929 like those of Quetzalcoatl 379 00:21:05,966 --> 00:21:08,207 and the Egyptian Saqqara Bird... be evidence of 380 00:21:08,225 --> 00:21:12,314 be evidence of alien visitations in the distant past? 381 00:21:12,434 --> 00:21:16,128 Perhaps the answer can be found high on a mountaintop 382 00:21:16,146 --> 00:21:19,787 known as the "Throne of Solomon." 383 00:21:21,415 --> 00:21:23,537 In the 21st century, 384 00:21:23,564 --> 00:21:26,692 modern transportation and communication methods 385 00:21:26,738 --> 00:21:29,757 have connected the world like never before. 386 00:21:29,793 --> 00:21:31,934 Products or ideas, 387 00:21:31,952 --> 00:21:34,486 no matter where in the world they may have originated, 388 00:21:34,606 --> 00:21:37,403 can spread to even the most remote countries. 389 00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:39,598 A hip-hop hit in Brooklyn 390 00:21:39,718 --> 00:21:41,463 might make it big in Tokyo 391 00:21:41,464 --> 00:21:43,915 before it's even heard in Manhattan. 392 00:21:43,942 --> 00:21:46,211 This cultural interconnection 393 00:21:46,239 --> 00:21:48,123 has transformed the globe, 394 00:21:48,243 --> 00:21:50,163 but is it new? 395 00:21:52,211 --> 00:21:54,700 Mainstream archaeologists believe 396 00:21:54,727 --> 00:21:56,264 ancient civilizations, 397 00:21:56,273 --> 00:21:59,350 such as those found in the remote Pacific Islands, 398 00:21:59,630 --> 00:22:01,239 Asia, and South America, 399 00:22:01,267 --> 00:22:04,176 developed independently from each other. 400 00:22:04,551 --> 00:22:07,752 But ancient astronaut theorists contend 401 00:22:07,779 --> 00:22:11,720 that similarities in building styles and beliefs 402 00:22:11,990 --> 00:22:13,212 found in these cultures suggest 403 00:22:13,332 --> 00:22:15,188 that a worldwide trade route 404 00:22:15,206 --> 00:22:17,484 may have connected them to each other. 405 00:22:24,170 --> 00:22:27,400 But just like we have airports today, 406 00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:28,733 around the world, 407 00:22:28,999 --> 00:22:31,779 in ancient times, with the Vimanas, 408 00:22:31,899 --> 00:22:35,665 there would have been hangars for the craft, 409 00:22:35,785 --> 00:22:38,226 airports for them to land. 410 00:22:38,263 --> 00:22:40,190 And those airports would have been situated 411 00:22:40,460 --> 00:22:42,287 in strategic places around the world. 412 00:22:42,306 --> 00:22:46,784 And that's exactly what we see in remote places. 413 00:22:49,906 --> 00:22:52,220 Legends of air travel 414 00:22:52,229 --> 00:22:55,622 are also found in ancient Africa and the Middle East. 415 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,211 According to The Kebra Nagast, 416 00:22:58,239 --> 00:23:00,681 a holy book of the Ethiopians, 417 00:23:00,717 --> 00:23:03,983 written sometime before the second century A.D., 418 00:23:04,103 --> 00:23:05,821 the Queen of Sheba 419 00:23:05,858 --> 00:23:08,209 was once given a gift of a flying carpet 420 00:23:08,218 --> 00:23:10,568 by King Solomon of Israel. 421 00:23:10,569 --> 00:23:12,140 The Kebra Nagast 422 00:23:12,134 --> 00:23:16,455 is one of the most important texts you've never heard of. 423 00:23:16,575 --> 00:23:18,833 The Kebra Nagast means 424 00:23:18,953 --> 00:23:20,507 "The Book of Kings." 425 00:23:20,627 --> 00:23:22,218 And it is 426 00:23:22,245 --> 00:23:26,608 the most sacred book of the Ethiopians. 427 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,828 In it, King Solomon, 428 00:23:29,855 --> 00:23:33,100 it's described... he had access 429 00:23:33,121 --> 00:23:36,470 to some type of a flying machine. 430 00:23:36,167 --> 00:23:38,873 And in that part of the world, 431 00:23:38,919 --> 00:23:41,552 the term "flying carpet" 432 00:23:41,672 --> 00:23:45,256 was always used very liberally. 433 00:23:45,376 --> 00:23:47,232 My question is, 434 00:23:47,352 --> 00:23:51,293 did they really mean actual flying carpets? 435 00:23:51,413 --> 00:23:53,944 Or was it another term 436 00:23:53,963 --> 00:23:58,690 with which to describe some type of a flying machine? 437 00:23:59,424 --> 00:24:03,530 This was the original chariots of the gods 438 00:24:03,576 --> 00:24:05,972 that Erich von Daniken talked about, 439 00:24:05,981 --> 00:24:09,228 the flying magic carpets 440 00:24:09,348 --> 00:24:12,932 of the Arabian Nights stories. 441 00:24:13,472 --> 00:24:17,541 There are traditions in the Middle East of King Solomon having this airship, 442 00:24:17,559 --> 00:24:21,210 and flying to different places in the Middle East... 443 00:24:21,219 --> 00:24:25,637 certain mountains, which are known as the Mountains of Solomon. 444 00:24:26,210 --> 00:24:31,426 These may have been certain airports, or landing areas, 445 00:24:31,546 --> 00:24:33,913 for these Vimanas. 446 00:24:34,334 --> 00:24:38,688 Nicolas Roerich, famous Russian-American explorer, 447 00:24:38,734 --> 00:24:42,904 who travelled all through Central Asia and Tibet 448 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,898 in the 1920s... 449 00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:47,751 he, too, claimed that Tibetans had traditions 450 00:24:47,797 --> 00:24:52,132 of King Solomon flying to Tibet in this aircraft. 451 00:24:52,718 --> 00:24:56,202 The Kebra Nagast also describes how King Solomon 452 00:24:56,220 --> 00:25:00,530 used his flying airship to make maps of the world. 453 00:25:00,647 --> 00:25:03,757 But could these have any relation to other ancient maps 454 00:25:03,803 --> 00:25:07,992 some believe may have been made by extraterrestrials? 455 00:25:08,112 --> 00:25:09,592 Some of these maps 456 00:25:09,601 --> 00:25:11,723 show the world, not as it looks today, 457 00:25:11,751 --> 00:25:14,449 but as it looked during the last Ice Age. 458 00:25:14,467 --> 00:25:17,320 And this is really hard to explain. 459 00:25:17,152 --> 00:25:19,200 Everybody's heard of the Piri Reis map, 460 00:25:19,218 --> 00:25:20,782 but they've, perhaps, not heard of the 461 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,462 Orontius Finnaeus map, or the Mercator maps, 462 00:25:23,498 --> 00:25:25,466 that show Antarctica 463 00:25:25,493 --> 00:25:29,829 in great detail, hundreds of years before Antarctica was even discovered. 464 00:25:31,219 --> 00:25:34,631 One of the most referenced stories of ancient aircraft 465 00:25:34,641 --> 00:25:38,299 is found in a surprising place... the Bible. 466 00:25:38,692 --> 00:25:40,595 In the Book of Ezekiel, 467 00:25:40,604 --> 00:25:43,458 the prophet describes a flying chariot 468 00:25:43,486 --> 00:25:47,976 containing wheels within wheels and powered by angels. 469 00:25:48,951 --> 00:25:51,649 Although Bible historians suggest 470 00:25:51,658 --> 00:25:53,863 Ezekiel was speaking symbolically 471 00:25:53,890 --> 00:25:56,634 about the terrifying enemies facing Israel, 472 00:25:56,754 --> 00:26:00,348 could this be another example of an alien visitation, 473 00:26:00,468 --> 00:26:03,914 and proof that prehistoric aircraft existed? 474 00:26:04,340 --> 00:26:07,582 In the story of Ezekiel's throne chariot... 475 00:26:07,591 --> 00:26:11,801 this flying vehicle that doesn't seem to have any means of propulsion... 476 00:26:11,838 --> 00:26:13,978 if we thought of the word "angel" 477 00:26:13,987 --> 00:26:17,510 as representing something like celestial energy, 478 00:26:17,171 --> 00:26:20,619 it sounds much more like a spacecraft then, 479 00:26:20,660 --> 00:26:23,290 because some of the angels are going back and forth. 480 00:26:23,294 --> 00:26:24,776 Well, that sounds like flames. 481 00:26:24,794 --> 00:26:26,541 That sounds like propulsion. 482 00:26:27,126 --> 00:26:28,452 Some of them are wheel-like. 483 00:26:28,479 --> 00:26:30,958 Well, those sound like flying saucers. 484 00:26:33,263 --> 00:26:37,287 Our ancestors weren't idiots. 485 00:26:37,407 --> 00:26:41,540 Ezekiel saw something that was so frightening to him, 486 00:26:41,586 --> 00:26:43,836 that he fell to his knees. 487 00:26:43,956 --> 00:26:46,205 Then, out of the glory of God, 488 00:26:46,205 --> 00:26:52,277 came this being in these bright clothes that looked like metal, 489 00:26:52,397 --> 00:26:55,963 and told Ezekiel, "All right, man, 490 00:26:55,981 --> 00:26:57,537 we brought you here. 491 00:26:57,657 --> 00:27:01,652 We want you to measure this monument, this building." 492 00:27:01,652 --> 00:27:04,928 And Ezekiel asks, "Well, why should I do this?" 493 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,537 And the being says, "That's why we brought you here." 494 00:27:09,657 --> 00:27:12,446 And then, you have 40 pages, 495 00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:14,888 in the second part of the Book of Ezekiel, 496 00:27:14,888 --> 00:27:18,199 with measurement after measurement after measurement 497 00:27:18,319 --> 00:27:20,276 of this gigantic building 498 00:27:20,303 --> 00:27:24,749 in which, by the way, the glory of the Lord landed. 499 00:27:29,762 --> 00:27:32,185 In the early 1970s, 500 00:27:32,203 --> 00:27:34,664 NASA scientist Josef Blumrich 501 00:27:34,691 --> 00:27:36,584 set out to disprove the theory 502 00:27:36,621 --> 00:27:39,566 that what Ezekiel witnessed was a spaceship. 503 00:27:39,768 --> 00:27:44,935 Josef Blumrich is your proverbial rocket scientist. 504 00:27:45,550 --> 00:27:48,475 He worked on the moon project for NASA, 505 00:27:48,869 --> 00:27:52,500 and from the mind of a rocket engineer, 506 00:27:52,756 --> 00:27:57,370 started to look at what was written in the first part 507 00:27:57,370 --> 00:27:58,966 of the Book of Ezekiel, 508 00:27:58,984 --> 00:28:01,655 and after many months of research, 509 00:28:01,775 --> 00:28:05,241 Josef Blumrich came to the conclusion 510 00:28:05,287 --> 00:28:09,221 that what Ezekiel described 511 00:28:09,341 --> 00:28:12,669 in his eyewitness report... 512 00:28:12,879 --> 00:28:16,474 it was indeed a type of spacecraft. 513 00:28:18,696 --> 00:28:23,379 Josef Blumrich would go on to write The Spaceships of Ezekiel. 514 00:28:23,398 --> 00:28:25,492 Several years later, 515 00:28:25,538 --> 00:28:27,660 a German structural engineer 516 00:28:27,687 --> 00:28:29,571 named Hans Herbert Beier 517 00:28:29,590 --> 00:28:33,606 sketched out a blueprint of the second section of the Book of Ezekiel, 518 00:28:33,634 --> 00:28:35,463 where Ezekiel is told to construct 519 00:28:35,481 --> 00:28:39,303 an open-topped building to house the flying chariot. 520 00:28:39,423 --> 00:28:41,251 Ezekiel's spaceship 521 00:28:41,288 --> 00:28:47,471 fit exactly into the temple that Hans Herbert Beier recreated. 522 00:28:48,577 --> 00:28:52,209 So what we have here is a proof by indication. 523 00:28:52,419 --> 00:28:55,356 Here we have a NASA engineer 524 00:28:55,392 --> 00:28:57,322 and a structural engineer, 525 00:28:57,670 --> 00:29:00,286 they didn't know of each other's work 526 00:29:00,406 --> 00:29:04,136 and both pieces fit together like a puzzle. 527 00:29:04,163 --> 00:29:06,203 In any court of law, 528 00:29:06,323 --> 00:29:09,505 that's evidence that would hold up. 529 00:29:11,780 --> 00:29:13,601 I think that scientists feel uncomfortable 530 00:29:13,721 --> 00:29:16,160 with the notion of the lost civilization 531 00:29:16,250 --> 00:29:20,400 precisely because the evidence for it is so ambiguous. 532 00:29:20,580 --> 00:29:23,860 It's not so in-your-face that it's immediately obvious. 533 00:29:23,113 --> 00:29:27,731 Uh, and, you know, the result is that science has not welcomed this idea. 534 00:29:28,970 --> 00:29:32,231 It'll take much more evidence before it's widely accepted. 535 00:29:33,125 --> 00:29:35,490 The God that I believe in 536 00:29:35,490 --> 00:29:37,280 doesn't need a vehicle 537 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,500 in which to move around from point "A" to point "B." 538 00:29:41,268 --> 00:29:43,408 Whatever was described 539 00:29:43,454 --> 00:29:46,509 in the Old Testament wasn't God. 540 00:29:46,536 --> 00:29:48,786 It was a misunderstood 541 00:29:48,814 --> 00:29:51,329 flesh-and-blood extraterrestrial 542 00:29:51,356 --> 00:29:56,250 whom our ancestors misinterpreted as being divine 543 00:29:56,370 --> 00:29:59,340 and supernatural.
