All language subtitles for Alienígenas do Passado - S21E07 - Mysteries of the Aztecs

700 years ago,

a civilization emerged
in North America

that was among the most
sophisticated in the world.

When the
Spanish came into the basin of Mexico,

they looked at the Aztec Empire

and they thought they
were having a dream.

The Aztecs built

one of history's most
powerful empires

and they claimed
that its success

was determined by a
war between the gods.

The Aztecs talk
about a final battle.

This
war is happening in space

with two races fighting over
the destinies of mankind.

Could it be
that the story of the Aztecs

contains profound truths

about humankind's ancient past?

The gods
that the Aztecs worshipped traveled

to Earth from the stars.

Could these otherworldly
gods have been, in fact,

flesh and blood
extraterrestrials?

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is the
promise of truth.

It demands we
question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right
before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Extending from
the highlands of central Mexico

to the jungles of Costa Rica

is a region historians
refer to as Mesoamerica.

It was completely
unknown to Europeans

until the 16th century AD,

but Mesoamerica is considered

a cradle of civilization,

where numerous cultures
emerged and thrived for centuries.

Mesoamerica has
a long, long history.

The total history is
some 3,000 years,

beginning somewhere
around 1800 BCE

with the Olmecs.

The Olmec are widely considered

our first Mesoamerican
civilization.

They are the first to build

major, major architecture.

The Olmec established
many of the things

that subsequent
cultures would use.

They had gods, for example,

like rain gods

and other kinds of
gods, that appear

in other civilizations

in similar, if not
identical form.

So, in many ways,
they're considered

the mother culture
of Mesoamerica.

Shortly after
the emergence of the Olmecs

came the Mixtec Kingdom
that began in 1500 BC.

Then came the Maya who
started building massive cities

in the Yucatán
Peninsula around 750 BC,

followed by the Zapotec Kingdom

that formed in 500 BC,

and later the Toltecs

who arose around 800 AD.

Everything from big architecture

to advanced religious practices,

to long-distance trade,

to major urban planning,

all of these were developed

by the civilizations
in Mesoamerica.

But in 1325,

a new civilization
emerged in the region

that would become more powerful
than any that had come before.

They were called the Aztecs.

The Aztecs
were a wandering people,

who hailed from the northern
parts of Mesoamerica.

After centuries of
wandering in the north,

they made their way towards
the central valley of Mexico.

The Aztec
Empire started in 1325.

Over the next hundred
years, they build it up.

Their influence suddenly
spreads from Central Mexico

all the way down into Honduras.

They affect the Zapotec,
the Tarascans, the Maya.

Their reach met the
very ends of their world.

The
Aztec people created

Mesoamerica's only
fully documented empire.

An empire being a state

that takes over other states.

They are
these violent conquerors.

They are our first real
expansionistic culture.

First they take over
all of Central Mexico.

They go down to Puebla.

Then they take over Oaxaca.

At that time, the
Mixtec and the Zapotec

have been living in relative
harmony for centuries.

But the Aztec come down there

and not only do they take over,

but they rename
all of their towns.

They continue that
all the way down

into the highlands of Guatemala.

The Aztec
Empire was enormously powerful.

They were able to network

amongst these
cities and they were

a highly sophisticated
civilization

that had greater
technological capability,

or certainly
pyramid-building capability.

Mathematics and
astronomy were at the center

of the Aztec culture

and it suggests that they
were great watchers of the stars.

Their math, their science was

well advanced for their time.

As their lands
grew, the Aztec Empire flourished.

They established
vast trade networks,

developed an advanced
counting system,

and created a
sophisticated justice system.

Among the
many things that characterized

the spectacular nature
of the Aztec culture

are things like the economy

that was reaching to the
furthest parts of Mesoamerica

to obtain exotic goods.

They had a system of politics,

which divided out
nobles from commoners.

And many, many other
traits that characterized

this fantastic civilization.

The sparkling jewel
in the crown of the Aztec Empire

was their capital,
which was built

on the same location where
Mexico City stands today.

Called Tenochtitlan,

it was a magnificent
floating metropolis

on Lake Texcoco.

Tenochtitlan,
in its heyday,

was likely the largest
city in the world.

A population of about
150 to 200,000 residents.

Larger than Paris.

It is located on an island in
the middle of Lake Texcoco.

That island
metropolis is connected

to the mainland by
four major causeways

that connect it and allow it
to engage in economic trade.

All of the
causeways out to the mainland

from their capital island city

had garden after
garden after garden.

As you walked through the city,

you walked through this just
beautiful botanical landscape.

There were more rivers
than there were walking paths.

Everyone that lived in
the town had a canoe

parked outside like their car.

When the Aztecs build
their capital Tenochtitlan

there, in that lake,

they built the pyramids
and other structures there

aligned with the Pleiades
and to other planets

and solar systems as well.

At its height,
the Aztec Empire controlled

over 80,000 square miles

and more than
five million people.

The Aztecs were not only
one of the greatest civilizations

anywhere in the world,
but also the most feared.

This stemmed from a
wide-spread religious practice

that was equal parts
terrifying and mysterious:

Human sacrifice.

The main
temple in the city of Tenochtitlan,

we call it the Templo Mayor.

It was actually a double temple.

One side was dedicated to
Huitzilopochtli, the war god,

the other one to
Tláloc, the rain god.

So it was a place
central to the city.

All of the major
festivals took place

at its base and around it,

but its first and
foremost function

was sacrifice.

Upon the
opening of this pyramid,

over 20,000 men,
women, and children

were sacrificed to the gods.

The reasoning was that
the gods needed the blood

to keep the universe in order

and also to
appease all the gods.

The Aztecs
had an understanding

of the world as being
ordered by order and chaos.

And their gods
had to be appeased.

And so that meant human
sacrifice on a regular basis

as part of religious
expression and religious ritual.

But if the
Aztecs felt compelled

to perform human sacrifice
to appease the gods,

who taught them this?

Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

the answer can be
found by examining

the hundreds of Aztec
historical documents

that have survived until today

and their accounts
of powerful beings

who came from the stars.

A team of
historians working closely

with The National
Museum of Anthropology

makes an incredible
announcement.

They have acquired three
never-before-seen Aztec texts,

called codices, that
had been hidden away

in a family archive
for hundreds of years.

We have documents
about Aztec life and history.

We call them codices.

The ones that are made in Mexico

in their fashion
are fan-fold books.

They're a single piece
of amate bark paper

that folds out
like an accordion.

They tell us all sorts of
information about Aztec origins,

Aztec politics, and
who conquered who.

The codices have
provided historians detailed accounts

of the Aztec government,
trade, and religious beliefs.

But most interesting to
ancient astronaut theorists

is a set of pages known
as the Codex Boturini,

that tells the
Aztec origin story.

When it comes
to the origins of the Aztecs,

they claimed to have originated

from some mythical
land called Aztlán.

The name "Aztec"
means "people of Aztlán."

To them, Aztlán was
their original homeland.

It was this Edenic paradise.

It was a land with a
lake and an island.

Very peaceful.

In the
accounts of the Aztecs,

Aztlán is a real place.

It's not some sort of
heaven or other world.

It's somewhere to the north.

According
to the Aztec legend,

in the middle of
Aztlán stood a steep hill

and inside was a mysterious cave

with seven chambers
called Chicomoztoc.

The Aztecs say that from here,

all of the people of
Mesoamerica emerged

after a visit from an
otherworldly being.

Aztlán was the domain
of a goddess named Coatlicue.

She is a creator goddess.

And in Aztec mythology,
she brings this flint knife

to Earth, and she places
it in the seven caves.

And from within these
seven caves then emerge

all the tribes,
including the Aztecs.

This flint
knife descended from the sky

into the seven caves of Aztlán.

And you have to wonder
what this giant flint thing was.

Was it perhaps an
extraterrestrial craft?

The original
stories of somebody descending

from the sky and
imparting knowledge

happened, in reality, by flesh
and blood extraterrestrials,

whom our ancestors

misinterpreted as gods.

Why were our ancestors
considering them as gods?

Well, because they
descended from the sky.

Could the
Aztec legend of a flint knife

descending from
the sky be describing

an extraterrestrial craft?

As far as ancient
astronaut theorists

are concerned,
even more intriguing

are the striking
similarities that exist

between descriptions of Aztlán

and the legendary
lost city of Atlantis,

a place that was
said to be ruled

by otherworldly beings.

There are some very provocative
similarities between the stories

of Aztlán and Atlantis.

They're both considered to
be Edenic sort of paradises.

They both had
canals or waterways.

They are both
described as circular.

In fact, when you
look at paintings

of Tenochtitlan and compare
them with paintings of Atlantis,

they're virtually
interchangeable.

And then, when you remove the Z,

Aztlán is actually
Atlan or Atlantis.

Is it possible that
the Aztecs' ancient homeland

of Aztlán was, in fact,
the lost city of Atlantis?

Perhaps further clues about
this otherworldly origin story

can be found by examining

a mysterious ancient site
just north of the Aztec capital.

This impressive complex,

encompassing nearly
eight square miles,

is home to two of the
largest pyramids on Earth:

The Pyramid of the Sun

and the Pyramid of the Moon.

The ancient city is
believed to have been built

sometime around
the first century AD.

But just who built it
remains a mystery.

One of the more interesting
things about Teotihuacan

is the fact that we
don't know who built it.

But there's no question
that Teotihuacan

was a metropolis.

Teotihuacan before the Aztecs

was the largest city ever
constructed in Mesoamerica.

At its height, it had

somewhere around
200,000 people living there.

It had the most massive
pyramids that had ever been built.

In the 1977 book

Mysteries of the
Mexican Pyramids,

written by Peter Tompkins,

engineer Hugh Harleston Jr.

Mapped Teotihuacan and declared

that its buildings have
a profound connection

to the stars.

What's so fascinating there
is that many of these pyramids

there align directly
with our planets

in our solar system,

including Pluto.

Now, officially, Pluto was
not discovered until the 1930s.

So how did the people

of Teotihuacan know about Pluto?

Well, the answer to that
is that somebody told them.

And who told them?

The extraterrestrials.

In their codices,
the Aztecs called Teotihuacan

"the birthplace of the gods"

and described hundreds
of otherworldly beings

arriving on Earth
at this location.

But as far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

the notion that
extraterrestrials

once inhabited Teotihuacan

is supported by
physical evidence

that was discovered
at the site in 2015.

Beneath Teotihuacan's
third largest pyramid,

called the Temple of
the Feathered Serpent,

a team of archeologists
unearthed a series of tunnels

containing some very
curious substances.

Mexican
archaeologists opened up a tunnel

that had been sealed
for the past 1,800 years.

And when they went inside,
they found this liquid mercury.

And there's no other
reason for the Aztecs

or any other culture to have
been using liquid mercury

unless it had some
technological purpose.

Another discovery
was large sheets of mica

in chambers within the pyramid.

Mica
is used in computers

and also it is used
as a heating shield

in space travel.

So now what does that do

underneath Teotihuacan?

We know that spinning
of mercury can actually

create some type of
electromagnetic lift.

So mica, mercury;

these are all high signs
of something technological.

Something involving high heat.

Either a capacitor or some
type of lifting mechanism.

So it
has been suggested

that the pyramids at Teotihuacan

were energy devices,
very high-tech stuff.

So you have to wonder if,
in a way, this is also probably

extraterrestrial technology.

Does Teotihuacan
contain physical evidence

that the hundreds of gods
the Aztecs documented

in their codices were,
in fact, alien visitors?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

by examining the Aztec god

that the Temple of
the Feathered Serpent

was built to honor...

Quetzalcoatl.

At the southern end of
this ancient metropolis

stands the Temple of
the Feathered Serpent.

Its magnificent
façade is embellished

with numerous ornate
stone statues of a snake head

ringed in feathers.

This visage depicts one
of the most prominent gods

worshipped throughout
Mesoamerica,

a being known to the Aztecs

as Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl was undoubtedly
one of the major gods

for multiple civilizations
in Mesoamerica.

A particular characteristic
of Quetzalcoatl

is the feathers on
the bottom of his body

that really denote the deity.

Quetzalcoatl is one of the,

if not the primary
Mesoamerican god.

He's a god of light,
a god of wisdom,

a god of healing,

and, ultimately, a peacemaker.

In their codices,
the Aztecs write

about Quetzalcoatl
teaching their ancestors

various disciplines
that were essential

to establishing
their vast civilization.

Quetzalcoatl
descended from the sky

in physical form and
taught the local populations

in different
scientific disciplines.

Like mathematics,

agriculture, medicine,

writing, all these
different things.

It's interesting to see that
this is not the only place

where, in ancient mythology,
the same takes place.

Because there are other
cultures around the world

that also refer to teacher gods
who descended from the sky.

Throughout
the ancient world,

stories can be found
of powerful beings

who came from the
stars and shared wisdom

with early humans to
help jumpstart civilization.

In Egypt, the god
Ptah shared knowledge

of technology and metalworking.

Prometheus taught
the Ancient Greeks

how to wield fire.

And the world's
first civilization,

the Sumerians, wrote
that they were visited

by divine teachers
known as the Annunaki.

In
the Sumerian tradition,

one of the gods, Enlil,

teaches human
beings about agriculture,

teaches human beings how to
plow into the ground and plant seeds.

It's the gods who
show human beings

how to use technology,

how to create this technology.

This idea
that there were teacher gods

a long time ago... the ancient
astronaut theory suggests

that our ancestors were all
visited by the same teachers.

The same extraterrestrials.

Could
Quetzalcoatl represent

an extraterrestrial visitor

who helped to establish
civilization in Mesoamerica?

According to ancient
astronaut theorists,

support for this
notion can be found

not only in the Aztec codices,

but also by examining a number

of curious depictions of
the Feathered Serpent God.

La Venta, Mexico.

1955.

American archeologists Philip
Drucker and Robert Heizer

begin an excavation of
an Olmec pyramid mound.

North of the main pyramid,

they unearth a mysterious
carved stela that they date

to around 1200 BC.

Now known as Monument 19,

it is believed by many
to be the oldest depiction

of Quetzalcoatl ever discovered.

La Venta Monument
19 is such an interesting

and evocative piece of art
that it's gotten a ton of names.

One of them is "the Rocket Man."

It
depicts this weird scenery

of some guy enclosed
inside a snake.

And it's as if he's sitting
on some sort of a seat.

The guy's, you know,
wearing some sort of a suit

with a helmet.

And he is, you know, just
sitting inside this enclosure.

In my opinion, it's an example
of misunderstood technology.

Monument 19 is a representation

of Quetzalcoatl, the Teacher
God, inside of a flying craft.

Does Monument
19's unique depiction of Quetzalcoatl...

not as a feathered serpent,

but as a human-like figure

sitting within the
body of a serpent...

provide further evidence

that he was a real-life
visitor from another world?

Curiously, the Olmecs weren't

the only people to depict
Quetzalcoatl in human form.

There are also Maya
and Aztec depictions

of Quetzalcoatl that
show a human face

seeming to emerge from
the mouth of a serpent.

Now according
to Central American tradition,

Quetzalcoatl is supposed to
have descended from a star.

He's represented as
the feathered serpent,

but also he's represented

in a human form with the helmet.

There are many of these
representations of Quetzalcoatl.

Quetzalcoatl was
definitely an extraterrestrial.

As far as
ancient astronaut theorists

are concerned, Quetzalcoatl was

just one of many
otherworldly visitors

encountered by the Aztecs.

And while he is
credited as a key figure

in the establishment
of their civilization,

there was another sky god

that would come to
define the Aztec society.

One who demanded
human sacrifice.

Tula, Mexico.

Here, 50 miles north
of the Aztec capital

of Tenochtitlan, lie the ruins

of another incredible
Mesoamerican city.

It was home to the Toltecs,

who flourished from
roughly 950 to 1150 AD.

The site is full of
monumental stone structures

and beautiful carvings,

but the people who
built it left behind

no written record
of who they were.

The little that historians have
been able to piece together

about the Toltecs
comes from the Aztecs,

who claimed to be
their descendants

and chronicled
their oral history.

The
Aztec always wanted

to demonstrate their heritage.

And the Aztecs would claim
descent from Toltec peoples.

The Toltecs are said
to be the master artists of all time,

the most eloquent speakers,

the best musicians,
the best politicians.

To be civilized
was to be Toltec,

but most of these are
stories that the Aztecs told us.

Among
the most intriguing artifacts

left by the Toltec are several
giant monolithic statues

standing on top of a pyramid.

According to ancient
astronaut theorists,

these figures represent beings

from a technologically
advanced society.

In Tula, Mexico, there
is a site that's famous

for these gigantic,
colossal statues

known as the Atlantean Columns.

And in my opinion, it's one
of the best representations

of ancient astronauts
because what you're looking at

are essentially people that
are dressed in some sort

of a pressurized suit.

Their hands are on the side

and they're holding
some sort of weaponry.

It's unlike anything that
was ever found in that region.

Is it possible
that the enormous statues

at Tula depict
otherworldly visitors?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

and point to Aztec
writings that claim

the Toltec were guided
by the god Quetzalcoatl.

According to the Aztec codices,

Quetzalcoatl taught them
not only the skills needed

to develop their civilization,

but also to live in peace
among one another.

Quetzalcoatl is known
as a very benevolent teacher god

who taught peace and love.

And he forbade human sacrifice,

which was very common
in Central America

for thousands of years.

But the
Aztecs described that

within their vast
pantheon of gods

there were opposing agendas.

And a brother of Quetzalcoatl,

named Tezcatlipoca,

had very different
intentions for humanity.

Tezcatlipoca is
more of a sorcerer.

Understanding of
the dark wisdom.

A god of the night,
demanding that blood be spilled.

Tezcatlipoca
validated powers

through strength and violence.

Tezcatlipoca was
an agent of chaos.

For the Aztecs
and their Toltec ancestors,

Tezcatlipoca offered
strength and conquest.

And he wished to be honored
through human sacrifice.

But Quetzalcoatl
stood in his way.

Tezcatlipoca demanded
human sacrifice.

And he schemed
to have Quetzalcoatl,

evicted, if you will, from
the Toltec and Aztec tradition.

The Aztecs talk about

a final battle in which
the forces of Tezcatlipoca

and those of Quetzalcoatl meet.

And Quetzalcoatl is
defeated and repelled.

According
to Aztec codices,

coinciding with this
battle between the gods

was an earthly conflict

between those who
worshipped Quetzalcoatl

and those devoted
to Tezcatlipoca.

When the followers
of Tezcatlipoca

emerged victorious,

it sealed the Aztecs' fate

to become a war-like people

who conquered their neighbors

and sacrificed
humans to the gods.

Looking at this through
the lens of the ancient astronaut theory,

I wonder if this war
between Quetzalcoatl

and Tezcatlipoca

is something
happening above the veil,

that in space there's
something going on

with two races fighting over
the destinies of mankind.

Is it possible that
a certain group of extraterrestrials

influenced the Aztec people
to become more warlike

and even engage
in human sacrifice?

For ancient astronaut theorists,

what makes the story of
Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca

even more intriguing is

that the notion of gods
warring over humanity

can be found in
numerous ancient cultures

throughout the world.

Throughout human
history, we have

this continuous
interplay between

the dark gods
and the light gods,

very similar to what we see

among the Toltecs
and the Aztecs.

For example, in Ancient Sumeria,

you have the conflict
between two brothers,

Enki and Enlil.

You find the same story
played out in the Greek tradition

between Prometheus and Zeus.

This idea that there were
good gods versus bad gods

could be a distant memory

of some sort of an
extraterrestrial war

that happened here on Earth.

According to the codices,

when Tezcatlipoca
replaced Quetzalcoatl

as the primary deity,

human sacrifice
began to take place

on a scale never seen before.

And the Aztecs not only
sacrificed their enemies,

but even their own people.

Those that
witnessed some of this

talk about tens of thousands

of people being dispatched

in a single ritual event.

And they did it because
the gods demanded it.

Is it possible
that this bloody ritual

was inspired by
otherworldly visitors

who had some nefarious
agenda for humanity?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further evidence

of an extraterrestrial
influence in Aztec culture

can be found by
examining the arrival

of the Spanish conquistadors

and the downfall
of the Aztec Empire.

The Aztec
capital of Tenochtitlan.

1509.

Over the course of five nights,

King Montezuma II witnesses
a rare celestial event,

which he interprets
as a sign from the gods.

Montezuma
II is sitting on the throne

when there's a bad
omen of a comet

that comes through the sky.

Comets were
unexplained and bad juju.

In this particular case,
though, Montezuma

goes to the king of Texcoco,

who is a philosopher king.

And he asks him, you
know, what does this mean?

And he says "Well,
all of our omens say

"that you will be
sitting on the throne

at the end of the Aztec Empire."

Montezuma and his wise
men read this as a sign

that now is the time for
the return of Quetzalcoatl.

According
to the Aztec codices,

when Quetzalcoatl was
driven from the Earth

by his more violent
brother Tezcatlipoca,

he vowed he would
one day be back.

And the possibility
of his return

weighed heavily
on King Montezuma.

One might think
they would be welcoming

the appearance of
Quetzalcoatl, but not Montezuma.

He's very concerned
that they've reimplemented

human sacrifice,

much to the chagrin
of Quetzalcoatl.

And they're terrified that this
will be judgment day for them.

In November 1519,

ten years after the
appearance of the comet,

500 Spanish conquistadors arrive

at Tenochtitlan,

led by Hernán Cortés.

Armed with swords, lances,

shields and crossbows,

they are prepared to
be met with hostility.

But as they cross the
causeway into the capital,

they are shocked to be
greeted warmly by a friendly king.

Cortés's physical
appearance precisely matches

the description of
the god Quetzalcoatl.

He's a powerful
type of a figure.

And Montezuma's
looking at him, thinking,

here's this
representative of this god,

if not the god himself,

appearing before him.

When the
Spanish conquistadors arrived,

the local population
of present-day Mexico,

they never moved a
finger to protect themselves.

Cortés actually
captured Montezuma himself

right in the middle
of his own city.

And from there, he took
control of the entire city.

Montezuma's belief that
Cortés was Quetzalcoatl

had devastating consequences.

After Cortés seized
control of Tenochtitlan,

the Aztec people violently
rebelled against the Spanish

and stoned King Montezuma

to death.

Unrest quickly
escalated to all-out war.

The Aztec Empire
was enormously powerful.

And when Cortés comes
along with his 500 men,

Cortés went to all
the outlying tribes

and made alliances with them

and made a pact that they
would end human sacrifice

if they assisted Cortés

overthrowing the Aztecs.

And this is exactly
what happened.

Less than a
thousand Spaniards could've

been easily dispatched.

But the Spanish
met the Tlaxcalans.

And the Tlaxcalans
fielded 50,000 people

against the Aztecs.

The Indigenous allies
of the Spaniards knew

how to maneuver in Lake Texcoco

and find where the Aztec

and Tlatelolcan warriors
would be located.

That was a war that involved

over 100,000 Indigenous warriors

fighting on the
side of the Spanish.

So, in essence, this was
a Spanish-Indigenous war

versus the Aztecs.

By
1521, just two years

after the Spanish
arrived in Tenochtitlan,

the Aztec Empire had fallen.

The prophecy that
Montezuma II would be

be the last Aztec
king had come to pass.

But is it possible that
Quetzalcoatl was a real,

extraterrestrial
entity who had a hand

in the downfall of the Aztecs

in order to put an end
to human sacrifice?

You have to wonder if there was

an extraterrestrial
agenda behind all this,

in that Quetzalcoatl
himself was perhaps

an extraterrestrial
who was benevolent

and here to bring mankind
out of these dark ages

of human sacrifice
and brutality.

After the
fall of the Aztec Empire,

the Spanish demolished
the city of Tenochtitlan,

drained Lake Texcoco,
and began to build

modern Mexico City in its place.

The fall
of the Aztec Empire

transformed the
western hemisphere.

There are new rulers heading

what once was the Aztec Empire.

There is a whole new
civilization in the Americas.

Although the
Aztec Empire came to an end

more than 500 years ago,

their descendants
are still around today.

And some of them claim
there is physical evidence

that the story of the
Aztecs' otherworldly past

is true.

Located
in the California desert,

just west of the Arizona border,

an estimated 300
gigantic figures

can be seen etched
in the arid ground.

Known as the Blythe Intaglios,

these ancient
geoglyphs depict animals,

spirals, and gigantic
humanoid figures.

They are protected by
descendants of the Aztecs

known as the Chemehuevi.

And according to Chemehuevi
elder Alfredo Figueroa,

two of the largest geoglyphs

represent very early
versions of Aztec gods

Tzitzimitl and Quetzalcoatl.

We don't use the word gods.

We use the word "creator."

Our ancestors
wanted to convey to us

that they experienced

an ancient visitation
by extraterrestrials.

Because Quetzalcoatl
and all these ancient gods

promised that they
would return one day.

Chemehuevi
historian Patricia Robles says that

what makes these geoglyphs
of even greater importance

is their age.

They were
known to Indigenous people

for thousands of years

through our native
cultural traditions.

They're more than
10,000 years old.

The glyphs were made
by the first humans

that came to this Earth.

Ancient civilizations
are coming to surface

because the time has come

to tell the truth
about human origin.

We are star people.

We came from the stars.

Is it possible
that the Blythe Intaglios

include depictions of Aztec gods

that were created more
than 10,000 years ago?

And if so, might this suggest

that the Aztec origin story

that involves gods
descending on Mesoamerica

in the distant past,

giving rise to civilizations
like the Olmecs,

Mixtecs, Toltecs, and others,

is true?

For centuries the
Americas were this unknown land.

And we are finding out
all kinds of new things.

We're pushing back
the dates of civilization.

And, with the Aztecs,

the gods are credited

with starting
their civilization.

And they believe
that they traveled

to Earth from the stars.

Now, what if there
is something to that?

In the story
of the Aztecs is a drama

that has played out multiple
times in human history,

between what appear
to be almost factions

of different
extraterrestrial species.

And in the Aztec story,
we have Quetzalcoatl.

The same entity appears over
and again in numerous cultures.

North America
is one of the few places

where we still have
living mythologies

where we can ask living
people about their history.

And these cultures did
speak of physical beings

descending from the stars
and imparting knowledge.

Could it
be that the incredible ruins,

writings, and oral
history of the Aztecs

tells a story of
otherworldly activity

in the distant past?

Were the hundreds of gods
recorded in the Aztec codices

in fact extraterrestrials

who influenced civilizations
throughout Mesoamerica?

Perhaps the truth
will be revealed

not by some newly discovered
archaeological site or relic,

but by the return

of our alien ancestors.
