Superhuman strength... Supernatural powers...

And the awesome ability to fly.

Throughout history, mankind has

told incredible tales of gods and superheroes.

But do we yearn to possess these extraordinary powers for

another, more profound, reason?

Implanted within our DNA is this desire to

become god-like, to fly in the

air, or swim through the ocean

or especially to ascend into the stars.

Humans were created according to the image of God.

So we are part of them.

If the so-called gods had

incredible powers, we have them in us, too.

Could ancient stories of god-like kings and

heroes really have otherworldly origins?

Many of the sacred powers given to kings of the past

we know today were more than likely technology

that ancient man was given from the actual gods,

which we know were probably extraterrestrials.

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?

Does it help to explain our

continuing fascination with stories of gods and heroes?

Greece. The Island of Crete.

On the Lassithi Plateau, over half a mile above sea level,

lies the Dikteon Cave.

This sprawling complex of caverns stretches nearly one and

a half square miles, and archeological finds have shown a

human presence dating as far back as 6,000 years ago.

Historians believe the first inhabitants of the area actually

lived inside the cave, and according to legend, its many

chambers were once home to an otherworldly being,

Zeus, the Greek god of thunder.

In Greek mythology, Zeus is the son of Cronus, the king of the

first generation of gods known as the Titans.

Zeus's father, Cronus, is not particularly excited

about giving birth to a child because he's heard a prophecy

he just swallows them all down.

Now his mother Rhea, who's Cronus's wife,

is distraught about this.

So what she does is substitute a rock

that she's wrapped up in swaddling clothes.

Gives it to Cronus, which he swallows down.

And what she does is hides Zeus away in a cave.

So he grows up there.

In Theogony, the 8th-century BC poet Hesiod

describes the cave Zeus was hidden in as lying in these very

mountains, and specifically near

the city of Lyktos, the location of the Dikteon Cave.

But the similarities between this cave and the cave of Zeus

described in Greek mythology go much further.

The ancients say that when they are talking about mythology,

it is about own recorded events of their past.

According to the Greek myths,

the child Zeus was nourished on a mixture of honey and

milk at the udder of the goat.

Now around 1900 AD, a chamber of the Dikteon Cave was

identified by locals as the birthplace of Zeus,

and when archeologists went in there, they discovered an alter

with the remains of numerous religious offerings,

amongst them honey and goat milk.

These remains date back 4,000 years, to the exact period in

which the ancient Greek stories took place.

The question is, is this once

again a coincidence that modern excavations find remains in

this cave that match up with

what's written in Greek mythology?

Also found in the Dikteon Cave were

numerous artifacts dating back to what would have been the time

of Zeus's childhood according to the Greek stories.

Among them was a fragmentary inscription bearing a hymn...

a hymn dedicated specifically to Zeus.

Could the Dikteon Cave really be

the cave described in Theogony?

And if actual locations from

Greek mythology really do exist,

could legendary characters and

events also be based on historical fact?

We think of mythology

as something which has been invented.

But really, when we look at the ancient Greeks, they believe

that the War of the Titans physically happened.

That this was a war, which was

fought in heaven, by the deities.

In Greek mythology, the War of the Titans is a

celestial battle waged by Zeus

and his siblings, known as the

Olympians, against their father Cronus and the Titans.

The Olympians, who are the victors in this battle, were the

gods worshiped by the ancient Greeks.

But according to ancient astronaut theorists, these

human-like beings may have been

something other than divine, and

this mythical war may have been an actual historical event.

To support this claim, they point to the existence of

similar myths and stories told

by different cultures throughout the world.

When it comes to warring parties of gods, Greece

is not a stand-alone issue.

We have the same thing in Ragnarök.

In Norwegian mythology, we have

this idea that the gods fought amongst themselves as well.

We also have stories from Sumerian, Babylonian, Hittite

accounts where it says that the wars were fought between gods.

We see the same story of Titans

being over throned by a new set of gods.

In the sumerian epics, the Annunaki coming here

as the original culture in ancient Iraq.

So these similarities tell of a warring race of beings that

squabbled amongst themselves about the rights of various

areas on the Earth.

What can explain the similarities of these

ancient war stories that emerged from all over the world?

Could they all be describing the same historical events?

And if there is an historical basis for the legends and

stories, what does that suggest

about the incredible powers and

weaponry supposedly possessed by the gods?

It's very possible that the Clash of the Titans

known from the Greek times is actually speaking of a much

earlier epoch of extraterrestrials having a type of battle.

The ancient Greek gods had helmets that made them invisible.

They had breastplates that made them impervious to their

enemies' weapons.

They had tridents that shot thunderbolts;

they had winged sandals that gave them the power of flight.

These are all profound examples

of an ancient alien technology that the Greek gods possessed.

If mythical gods and monsters really did exist,

were they, as ancient astronaut theorists believe,

extraterrestrial beings?

And could this help to explain the enormous and enduring

popularity of gods, Titans and other so-called "superheroes"

in today's popular culture?

There's so many different places

where the characters of the superheroes come from

but naturally so much of these come from mythology and from literature.

Because those are such strong bodies of work

they're so familiar, and they become

the architecture of all types of heroes.

The stories exists partly

because we want to dream of such powers,

We want to imagine what might be possible

if we had unlimited dominance.

We watch endless amounts of television

and movies which says that amongst us

are a group of people who are more than just human

super humans, and that somehow these people

are born that way or that something happens to them

which triggers this.

But basically the underlying subconscious message

revealed is that we are capable of becoming gods.

Implanted within our DNA is this desire to become

god-like, either to fly in the air or to swim through the ocean

or run super fast or especially to ascend into the stars.

Why are human beings so drawn to stories

about beings with superior abilities and technologies.

Are they looking for something larger?

and more powerful outside of themselves?

or perhaps, within?

In Greek mythology, the Titan Prometheus

is often credited with creating human beings

out of basic materials found on Earth.

Prometheus was playing with mud

and made little figurines of it and Athenea was fascinated with this and

breathed life into them.

The cynical read is to say

what he wants is somebody who to worship him

like people worship Zeus.

He created us in his image and he gave us all these skills

culture and technology and medicines,

and makes us what it means to be a human being.

Zeus realised he couldn't uncreate these beings

but what he could do is limit them in their capabilities

and restrict them their capacity and prevent them from becoming god-like.

It's as if the extraterrestrials

wanted to keep us from having all the same technology that they had

In another version of the story,

Prometheus is said to have stolen a spark of Zeus's lightning bolt

in order to give humans the gift of fire.

When we are talking about a god who gives fire to man,

we realise that this is not the god as in the supreme being

the one, but clearly somebody else, an ancient alien

We pursued throughout history to master

the powers of the gods

but the question is where did all those ideas originate,

and the answer is very simple.

Due to extraterrestrial contact, in our remote past.

Could humans really

be the creation of alien beings with extraordinary powers?

Do we have a subconscious desire

to reconnect with the so-called gods of our past by becoming

more like them through advancements in technology?

Could this explain the origins of ancient tales of gods and

heroes who were thought to possess extraordinary powers?

Perhaps the answer can be found

near the Greek valley of Phocis,

and by examining the legend of The Oracle at Delphi.

Lydia, 716 B.C.

Gyges, a shepherd in the service of King Candaules, becomes the

unlikely successor to the throne of this ancient kingdom in

modern day Turkey.

But the story of how this modest

servant rose from a shepherd to a king is so fantastic that

many scholars and historians have dismissed it as mere myth.

Gyges is out in the field and there's a terrible earthquake

He sees a cave open, goes in the cave and sees a gold ring

He just kind of walks in this chamber, which is like

a tomb where he sees a dead body that has some jewelry on it

so he grabs this ring off because he's a poor man

He puts the ring on and discovers that

it gives him the power to be invisible.

Here, he has the kind of power a god would have

and does it use it well?

Well, actually it's a little questionable how he uses it.

He comes up with a plan.

The next time he goes to visit the king

he brings that ring with him, turns himself invisible,

seduces the queen,

kills the king,

takes over the palace.

What we have here is really a multi-layered legend

We have not only the story of the fact that

somebody in the past had the cloak of invisibility

but actually that he did not invent this

that it was a legacy from a race who had buried their dead

and that alongside these deaths were artifacts,

which were technological

What kind of a magical amulet or technology are we talking about here?

Was this the ring of the gods that's described by the ancient sumerians

and is the ring of cosmic sovereignty

According to legend, a bloody civil war

irrupted following the death of King Candaules

It ended when Gyges obtained approval for overthrowing the throne

from the oracle of Delphi.

A mysterious priestess whose eerily correct prophecies

The oracle of Delphi, whether it's a prophet

or a soothsayer had a direct relationship

to the extraterrestrial being.

The extraterrestrial being communicated through the priest

who then interpret that into a language that

the listeners could understand.

But was it really a god who endorsed Gyges reign,

or was Apollo, the son of Zeus, an extraterrestrial,

as astronaut theorists contend.

Was it perhaps the same extraterrestrial

who let Gyges to find the ring that enabled him

to see his power, in the first place.

And if so, could this be an example

of aliens endowing a human with god-like powers,

to carry out some earthly agenda?

When I read stories like Gyges of Lidia

who has found this ring

which gave him the capability of becoming invisible

then there are two things that I think of:

one, is it just fantasy or do we have another reference here

that describes misunderstood technology.

Because today, researchers at

Duke University are trying to develop an invisibility cloak.

Duke University engineer professor David R Smith

is the director for the center for meta-material and integrated plasmatics

For the past decade, Smith and his team

have been working to create meta-materials

or artificial materials that are not found in nature.

Just like a piece of glass can control the way light bends

Smith is set out to prove that certain man made

materials can actually be constructed to

render objects invisible.

This is actually an example of a meta-material

this is a bunch of pieces of circuit board

all cut out and assembled together

and on the circuit boards are little pieces of copper

that are tied in circuits, and each circuit has

a certain response to electromagnetic radiation

and the combination of these patterns plus the shape

gives us something that we can call an invisibility cloak

The idea behind the cloak is that when

renders something inside of it invisible, and it's self invisible as well

At present, the device only makes objects disappear

at microwave frequencies

But Dr. Smith believes that soon this technology

will also be able to make objects invisible to even the human eye.

Just in the last year or two, there actually have been experiments

showing certain of the cloaking idea is transitioning

to the visible spectrum, red, green, blue.

Those experiments are actually being done now

We will have invisibility cloaks at some point that

we could wear as humans.

I definitely think we're gonna get there

because science and speculative science go hand in hand.

Science creates a base point, speculative science pushes it

farther into the future, and that's how technology advances.

An actual cloak of invisibility?

Though still in development, researchers in Japan have

designed an optical camouflage system that makes special

reflective material seemingly

disappear, including the person wearing it, thus bringing us

closer to achieving a fully functional invisibility cloak

like the one described in the story of Gyges.

Could this mean that other seemingly far-fetched devices of

fantasy, like flying carpets

and magic wands, are also based on science,

and if so, might they have been used in the ancient

past, perhaps in the hands of extraterrestrial visitors?

Just because we are working on these

technologies today does not mean that we are the first.

Because we find multiple references in

ancient texts that describe devices with which you were able

to go invisible.

So much of our storytelling

deals with the fact that what we deem to be magic

can really be science at a different time.

If legendary tales like the story of King Gyges

could be proven to be real, what does it suggest about other

fantastic stories of gods and titans?

Hisarlik, Turkey

Within this archaeological site

lie the ruins of Troy, a place once thought by mainstream

scientists to be no more than myth until Heinrich Schliemann

unearthed its remains in 1871.

Here in the 12th century B.C.,

the ancient Greek city was the center of the Trojan War,

a Greek battle described in Homer's Iliad.

According to the epic poem, the goddess Athena gives King

Diomedes the power of divine

vision during the war so that he could see like the gods.

Athena comes down and she wants to help the Greeks, so

she finds Diomedes and she says,

"I'm gonna help you out here.

So what I'm gonna do is strip

away this mist that's over your eyes.

You, as a human being, you don't

really know what's going on.

You just see battle, but once I strip away this mist, you're

gonna be able to see what's really going on, which is that,

in addition to a battle going on, there are gods fighting.

King Diomedes sees that Ares-- the god of war-- is

fighting alongside his enemy Hector, and he was not to use

this sight to attack the gods,

but that is exactly what he uses it for.

The side aspect of it's a question--

did the gods really have this?

Were they superhuman like we

want to become, or did they have

technology which enabled them to do these kind of things?

Diomedes and the gods' power of super eyesight

may seem like pure fantasy, but

enhanced vision is also becoming

a reality thanks to advancements in spectrometer technology.

Spectrometers are devices used

to measure properties of light over a wider range of the

electromagnetic spectrum than is

visible with the human eye, and

today, just as we are developing

cloaking devices, we are also developing technology to see

through those devices.

Technology is driven by society's needs.

more than anything else but myths have a way of inspiring us

and they represent part of the imagination which we need

to even envision the next generation of technologies

If I dream, I could go to another galaxy

I will sooner or later go to another galaxy

We are the offsprings of the gods

and all these things are in our brains

We think we are very powerful.

In practice we are not, but we

have technology to develop the

power because we are the sons of the gods.

Might technology be our way of reconnecting with the

gods, or did the so-called gods deliberately deny us their

superpowers as a way of motivating our imaginations and

technological achievements?

Perhaps further evidence can be found in the heavens at a

Mexican ceremony that

commemorates real-life close encounters with alien visitors.

Veracruz, Mexico Five men in ceremonial dress

ascend a 100-foot pole.

Once at the top, one of the men

performs a sacred dance while

playing a flute and drum atop a platform.

The other four men launch themselves off.

It is a ritual known as La Danza de los Voladores,

or The Dance of the Flyers.

The ritual has the leader stand on top of the pole

on the top of little platform, and the four flyers

wrap up cable around that pole and then branch out

fly around in a pyramid shape, in perfect synchronized order.

It's a stunning and daring thing to do.

They are representing the birds.

They are representing the four cardinal directions.

They are representing the elements.

Heavily symbolic and mythic, and it is a powerful ritual.

The Totonac people who practice this ceremony today

claim it is a dance that was

invented 500 years ago as a plea

to the gods to end a severe drought.

But could this ancient ritual have different, perhaps

otherworldly origins?

What we have here with the Voladores

is 100% living mythology

something that describes and illustrates

in front of our living eye

the descent of the gods,

from a time ago.

The motive of the god descending from the skies

is one of the most ancient stories.

If you go back to the Old Testament

you have the stories of the sons of gods

descending from the sky and they see the

daughters of men and they create a race of giants.

In the Book of Genesis, Jacob

sees a ladder ascending into the

heavens with angels ascending

and descending upon this ladder.

Jesus, in the Book of John, describes the heavens opening

and beings descending upon the son of man.

According to ancient astronaut theorists,

the Voladores ritual is a reenactment of a close encounter

with alien visitors in the distant past.

They believe extraterrestrials descended upon the flat

mountaintops of the Palpa region in Peru around 500 A.D.,

dropping from their aircraft and gliding down to Earth in

spiraling circles.

The Voladores ritual was very technological,

as in, you know, these beings

descending from the sky and the

circle signifying arrival of the gods.

Where does that flying or descending gods motif originate?

Our ancestors saw something

because why would you hurl yourself from a 100-foot

pole out of nothing, to imitate a bird?

Birds are not that important.

Something very significant happened.

Could an alien encounter really be the

inspiration for the Voladores ritual?

And could the Totanac people,

who created the ceremony, really

have been trying to mimic the ancient gods' power of flight?

As further evidence that early humans may have encountered

alien visitors equipped with the power of flight...

Ancient astronaut theorists point to various artifacts

and statues depicting ancient gods.

One such example is the Mayan

god, Ah-Muzen-Cab, also known as the flying "Bee God."

Another is the most prominent god of early Mesoamerican

culture-- the winged deity Quetzalcoatl.

Mesoamericans believed in the winged serpent

or the Quetzalcoatl, which came from the sky bringing wisdom,

power of the wind, and also influenced everything

that happened in the every day life of the Mayans.

In fact, they looked to the sky for all their answers, from

everything as simple as when to

plant corn, to when to go to war.

Uh, they believed all answers in

the universe came from the sky and trying to relate that to

their daily lives.

The ancient record are loaded with fantastic examples

of the gods flying around.

These are the ancient aliens, and humans are being shown the

ultimate capability of these gods.

In my eyes, because we are the sons of the gods,

we are the offsprings of the gods whatever humans can dream,

whatever humans think

was once reality in the past or

will be reality in the future.

July 21st, 2003 The English Channel.

Felix Baumgartner becomes the first person to cross this

22-mile wide body of water in

free fall using a specially made fiber wing.

But the Austrian daredevil is just one of many who have

used wing-suits to simulate flying

by means of a free fall.

A wing-suit is basically a jump suit

that you put on under your rig

and it's designed to actually make you fly.

when you exit the plane.

The material inflates underneath

your arms, in between your legs,

and creates basically an airfoil

that you glide on through the air.

It's an amazing feeling because

you're actually the pilot and the plane.

It is total freedom.

You feel as though you're flying.

Though you are falling,

you're using the air to maneuver your body.

And the wing-suit helps you

cover a lot of ground as you're descending.

Some people have been exceeding two-to-one glide ratio.

For example, three-to-one would

mean for every foot you descend,

you're traveling three feet forward.

We got these flying guys that have these

wings attached to their backs,

and they hurl themselves out of planes, and some even have

rocket engines attached to them.

And so they essentially themselves become airplanes.

Now imagine showing that to

someone from a hundred years ago.

That person would be in complete

awe of what they are witnessing,

not understanding that there's

technology involved with this.

Just using our own body, we cannot fly.

We have no wings.

But, of course, we have the fantasy and we have the

technology to develop wings that we can fly.

The pursuit of flight has been one of the most

sought after quests in all of mankind's history.

Why?

Because with flight you could

reach, conceivably, the realm of the gods.

From the ancient Greek myth of lcarus, fashioning

wings of feathers and wax,

to modern daredevils, like Felix Baumgartner,

human beings have been fascinated with,

and often frustrated by, their desire to fly.

But have birds really served as mankind's inspiration?

Or something else?

Something extraterrestrial.

And if ancient visitors could fly, what other powers might

they have possessed?

And what abilities might early man have had and lost?

Perhaps the answer can be found, not in the skies...

but deep beneath the sea.

Cape Sounion, Greece.

Perched on the headland, surrounded on three sides by the

sea, lies the ruins of the

Temple of Poseidon, built in 440 BC.

The second son of the Titan King

Cronus, Poseidon was worshiped

throughout Greece almost as much

as his younger brother Zeus.

Poseidon was the god of the sea,

he was also the god of earthquakes and, strangely, horses

When Poseidon was in a good mood,

he created new lands out of the sea.

He gave calm waters for good voyages.

When he was in a bad mood,

he destroyed ships and brought storms.

Poseidon does rule over the kingdom of the sea.

It is envisioned as a kind of place where people live.

And when he comes out of that place

yes, he rides the spectacular kind of like water chariot

that is driven by dolphins and he holds a really big trident.

In Greek mythology,

Cronus eats all of his children

except for Zeus, who eventually

rescues his siblings, including

Poseidon, from the belly of his father.

A potion is prepared that makes him heave up all the

other siblings of Zeus, and

these become the gods of Olympus.

But ancient astronaut theorists believe

this Greek myth is actually a

metaphor for an extraterrestrial event.

They believe the notion of gods

being vomited up from the belly of their father actually

describes mutinous aliens being expelled from the mother ship.

Any being which is swallowed up into a living creature

will not be able to survive for three days

it will die from suffocation and will begin to decay

So what we have here is not a creature, but something else.

It could've been an object, which was clearly of a man-made

or extraterrestrial origin.

A mutiny took place.

Some of the extraterrestrials, they had sex

with a wonderful earthly female, woman

They were not allowed to do this.

So, one of these extraterrestrials who were not

allowed to go back with the

mother spaceship had the name of Poseidon.

Poseidon fell in love with the beautiful human girl.

And he made her pregnant.

Poseidon is married, all right.

He's got a child.

He's got some grandchildren, right.

There's a whole caste of sea nymphs as well.

All of them presumably, like, live in this place.

Poseidon had the power of the deep, the unseen place.

If you look out at the sea, you

see a surface, and you're aware there's a whole world below

that, suggesting powers beyond that which meet the eye.

Among the mythical creatures

associated with Poseidon are the Telchines

a race of advanced fish children.

These human like beings could live both in and out of water

They're masters of technology and seem to match up with

the fish gods of ancient sumeria who worked for Enki

the great god of alchemy, and technology and smith craft

The Telchines are also kind of in the shadowy

territory of god human monster things.

They're just these kind of figures who are not gods

but they're like human beings

There's one story about the Roman version of Zeus, Jupiter.

trying to destroy them.

Now, we don't know whether they are actually all destroyed

but it's possibly because of their relationship to the magic.

In Greek legend, the Telchines were also metallurgists

They were said to have created Poseidon's magical trident

and to have casted the first bronze statues of the gods of Olympus.

And according to some historians

the Telchines may not have been creatures of myth

but were beings who actually existed.

There were people called Telchines,

we do actually have evidence of these beings

they were actual ancient greeks who had specific tasks

and traits like metallurgy, like smiting and so on.

And so you could see how it is that a being like Telchines

that these things could in fact not these just these mythological beings

but like actual people.

So the way we look at the ancient greeks and Rome,

is the way they would have looked at the stories

that are being told about the aliens.

We've got the stories of the Telchine

and they were able to survive under water

for unlimited amount of time

Now, how is such a thing possible

unless you have access to some type of technology

An Israeli company is currently developing

a human artificial gill system

that allows humans to take oxygen from surrounding water

without the need of oxygen tanks

You can potentially can remain underwater

for unlimited amounts of time.

All the technology that we are discovering today

is in fact old news.

It's been around before.

Could the ancient Greek myths

really be based on actual events?

Were the Telchines early humans

enabled with god-like abilities?

And were these powers really misunderstood alien technology?

Perhaps the answers can be

found, not in the past, but in the present.

As modern day advances in science and technology give us,

perhaps, our greatest evidence that we are not alone.

The ability to fly

to thrive underwater,

and to travel through space and explore the universe.

At one time, these were all

believed to be impossible notions.

Dismissed as mere science fiction or myth.

But mankind's continued advances

in technology have made the word

"impossible" almost obsolete.

In our modern world, steroids

can help generate Herculean muscles,

titanium joints can replace and even improve upon

our own natural ones.

And even prosthetic gills are

being developed, so human beings

can breathe underwater without the use of air tanks.

Today, government contractors like Raytheon-Sarcos and

Lockheed Martin continue to develop exoskeleton machines

for the U.S. military.

When worn, they can allow soldiers to walk, run and lift

hundreds of pounds with virtually no effort.

What makes exoskeletons so cool

is that it's an every man thing

Every body can pick one, put one on,

anybody can be the hero.

You can take a person with any sort of physical weaknesses

and make them greater than the person without them.

Exoskeletons would be a prime example of something

coming out of comic books into mainstream reality.

And in reality, exoskeletons are becoming very popular

with the military.

A soldier can wear the Raytheon exoskeleton, for example,

and lift 200 pounds

While these modern day super men

may be limited in their mobility, the development of exoskeletons

represents an incredible evolution

in the relationship between men and machine.

But did such incredible technology exist before?

Perhaps in mankind's ancient past.

Now, it is possible that some type

of exoskeleton technology was used in the remote past

for example, on the Giza plateau?

Imagine the operator of one of those exoskeleton machines,

coming out of that machine,

that person has super powers

even though the person does not have any powers at all

That person is only operating sophisticated technology.

One could argue, with all the advancements

we are making today in science and all the other academic fields

we are becoming more god-like

We are not becoming gods,

we are not turning into real super heroes

we are only becoming god-like

because of our technology.

I think we have innate

need to push our bodies and our

minds to the utmost limits and

strive for super intelligence,

super strength and other superpowers.

The reason is that people have

long been fascinated with what

could be stronger than humanity

itself, and if it's not human,

then it must come from somewhere

else, either a god or an extraterrestrial.

But with all of these scientific achievements,

is mankind perhaps making himself

more and more vulnerable to what

could be terrible consequences?

There are many tales of ordinary mortals ascending to

become rulers, to become gods and various positions of enormous power

Often these characters then become corrupt

and the stories stick around and are retold over a long period of time,

long after their sources have withered away.

to teach us that power corrupts

to be careful what you wish for

and to be very cautious if ever holding great power

because of its ability to harm.

Almost 50% of our stories are about technology

run amuck, or the dark side of technology,

because when you talk about superpowers,

when you talk about all this transformation,

everything comes at a price.

And you always have to weigh whether or not price is worthy,

or necessary to make, for the greater good,

and sometimes it's not.

Sometimes, the price you pay is just too great,

when you lose your own self.

Are all of mankind's scientific

achievements really examples of emerging technology?

or is the yearning for superpowers

and heroic feats embedded in our collective DNA?

Are humans finally catching up to the abilities of beings

who have been here before?

And were they gods?

Or, as some believe, alien ancestors,

living thousands of years ago, but possessing powers

and abilities thousands of years more advanced?

Perhaps only time and further

advancements in technology will tell.

Or perhaps it will all be revealed

when they return.
