All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens S05E06 Secrets Of The Tombs

Strange burial rituals...

What we're talking about

is some kind of other-dimensional
travel for the soul to undertake.

Elaborate chambers
filled with mysterious objects...

The fact that these
boats existed inside

tombs leads me to think that
they tried to reach some type

of extraterrestrial realms.

And bizarre burial
mounds found across the globe.

When you start looking
at a structure inside

the celestial alignments, you
start to wonder, was there

contact between
some of these areas?

Were the tombs of our
ancient ancestors actually

gateways to the afterlife?

Or were they really meant to connect
modern man with our alien ancestors?

You have to ask yourself
if they are perhaps

maps to guide the dead
back to the star systems,

where they originally came from.

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?

And if so, might the secrets
of the ancient tombs reveal an

otherworldly plan for mankind?

The Valley of the Kings, Egypt.

The Taj Mahal, Agra, India.

And King Pakal's Tomb,
Palenque, Mexico.

Spectacular burial sites that
date back thousands of years

are found across the world.

According to mainstream
researchers, these locations are

the final resting places
for ancient leaders.

But might they also serve
a more profound, perhaps

extraterrestrial purpose?

Why do we have the
most massive of constructions

of these tombs in the
far and distant past?

Well, according to the ancient
texts and the ancient

traditions, this knowledge was given
to our ancestors by the gods.

If the sole function of tombs
was to house the dead, then why are

virtually all of them connected
to notions of spiritual energy,

images of astronomy, and a
strong belief in the existence

of other, arguably more
spiritual, worlds?

All cultures share this
notion of somehow opening a

doorway, opening a stargate,
opening a gateway to another

dimension so the soul can return.

We know that it is meant because
the soul is gonna go on

a voyage to the afterlife.

In the ancient world,
there was a view

that this life that we have,
this physical life, is our

opportunity to prepare ourselves
for a vast destiny that lies

beyond this life.

Could ancient tombs
really have served another,

more extraterrestrial purpose,
perhaps as portals to reunite

the deceased with celestial beings?

Many ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answers can be found

by taking a closer look at the
mysterious texts of ancient Egypt.

Saqqara... situated on the
west bank of the Nile River,

20 miles south of Cairo,
this archaeological site is one

of the oldest and largest
burial grounds in all of Egypt.

Egyptologists called
these monuments tombs.

But to the Egyptians, they were
not tombs, they were gateways

to the afterworld.

It is through these structures
that the king will begin a

journey into the underworld,
in order to face obstacles,

dangers, and threats.

And if he will overcome these
threats, he will be given

passage into the afterlife
kingdom of Osiris.

Overlooking the immense
necropolis lies the

Pyramid of King Teti, the first
ruler of Egypt's sixth dynasty.

Teti built his pyramid and an
adjoining mortuary temple during

his reign, more than
4,000 years ago.

I'm walking on what's
left of the ancient

causeway of King Teti I...
that's his pyramid... and here is

his very-much-ruined
mortuary temple.

Now, this pyramid is very
important, it contains the

oldest, richest writing in the
world, the Pyramid Texts.

According to archaeologists,
the Pyramid

Texts are a collection of
ancient Egyptian religious

writings that date back to 2400 BC.

They contain passages about
Osiris, the Egyptian god of the

afterlife, and descriptions of
how to prepare the pharaoh's

remains during his ascent
to the heavens after death.

The Pyramid Texts
are all about the stars.

It's all about the
king becoming a star.

It's all about the king ascending
to the sky and joining

Osiris-Orion in the sky.

But according to ancient
astronaut theorists,

the Pyramid Texts didn't only guide
the pharaoh to an afterlife,

they actually provided
instruction on how the pharaoh

could travel to other worlds.

What is important to
realize is that the ancient

Egyptians say that about 25,000 years
ago, the gods lived amongst them.

Then they disappeared again.

What the Pyramid Texts are
saying is that we... the ancient

Egyptians specifically, of course...
are able to reach the gods again.

For this we have to die, but
once we're dead, we're able to

join the gods once again.

What we're talking about is some
kind of other-dimensional travel

for the soul to undertake.

Buried in the desert
sands for centuries,

the ruins of Saqqara are home to
another ancient mystery just one

half-mile away from the
Pyramid of King Teti.

In 1850, French archaeologist
Auguste Mariette made

an astonishing discovery.

He unearthed a massive
underground bunker.

This is a most strange
and mysterious place.

It feels like being in the
bowels of the underworld.

It's hard to describe...
it's like being in another world,

the world of the dead.

The Serapeum contains
enormous sarcophagi

made from granite that was
believed to have been

transported from the city of
Aswan, nearly 600 miles away.

This is just one of the
many sarcophagus that are

here, dozens and dozens of them.

And they weigh about 70 tons apiece.

They're made from a
solid block of granite.

But the real mystery is how they
cut them so sharply...

Swiss watch precision,
mirror smooth.

When you look at the
inside of the boxes,

you see the underside of the lid
is perfectly square with the

vertical surface of the
inside of the box.

Directly opposite, you have the
same condition, which means that

those two surfaces, opposing each other,
must have been perfectly parallel.

It's really amazing.

Ancient astronaut theorists
question just how the

ancient Egtians could have moved
these gigantic stones for

miles and then wedge them into
the underground labyrinth.

And to what purpose?

So we have one big problem.

Imagine, in ancient Egypt, they
dig out of the rock kilometers

and kilometers of
subterranean tunnels.

Right and left, they make niches.

Then they go to two day's Aswan.

In Aswan, they cut out of the rock
the hardest granite which exists,

and they bring it, in a
complicated way we don't know,

into these subterranean tunnels.

Archaeologists still,
today, cannot figure out

how these giant basalt
sarcophagi were made.

They're perfectly made.

And how they would even move
them into these catacombs that

are underground.

It's like they would have had to
levitate and put these 70-ton

boxes... by some magical
means, like anti-gravity.

Most scholars believe
the Serapeum and its

massive sarcophagi were
constructed to house the

mummified remains of the Apis bulls.

The Egyptians believed
that these Apis bulls

were descended from the sky,

and they would have elaborate
ceremonies with these bulls.

But when Mariette
opened the sarcophagi,

they were empty,
apart from some bones.

Only one Apis bull mummy was
discovered at the site.

Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe the sacred bul may

have been the creation of
extraterrestrials,

and that these creatures were feared, not
worshipped, by the ancient Egyptians.

The humans are afraid of
these monster, because

they were created by the gods.

They are holy animals.

So they wait until the
monsters die of a natural way.

And now the animal is dead, they smash,
crash the bones of the monster.

They put it into the sarcophagi.

In ancient Egypt, every
single living creature,

after its death, was mummified.

So the fact that we can find
boxes in which we have hacked-up

bones, you have to ask yourself, why?

So they made sure that, after
death, they would hack up the

bodies, and then put a 35-ton
lid on top of that...

so that those creatures would
never return in the future.

Could the sarcophagi
have been constructed

as a kind of prison to prevent the
return of the bulls after death?

Or could they have served a different,
even more profound, purpose?

Egyptologists are baffled,
and they don't know

what the purpose of these things were.

Also, why are some of them empty?

And you have to wonder, too,
if these boxes had some other

purpose originally.

Are these really some kind of
interdimensional stargates, and

then extraterrestrials are able to come
and go from this planet using that?

Were the Serapeum
sarcophagi actually

a teleportation system, as some
ancient astronaut theorists believe?

Could they be a series of
chambers used to convey ancient

humans, and perhaps, alien
visitors, to other planets?

Perhaps another underground tomb
complex halfway around the globe

can provide further clues.

Northern Peru.

1987.

Archaeologist Walter Alva uncovers
the lost tomb of the Lord of Sipan.

Intact and untouched by thieves,
this burial place is considered

one of the richest in the world.

The Lord of Sipan was
a Moche king,

up in the Lambayeque region
of Peru, along the coast.

They found gold and silver and
all these incredibly beautiful

artifacts and textiles and art.

Peruvian archaeologists...
they sometimes

call it the King Tut's
Tomb of South America.

And the objects that they found
in these tombs were unusual.

The burial chamber
was filled with artifacts that

included ceramic pots, gold,
copper and silver utensils,

and feather ornaments some
researchers believe were

intended to accompany and protect
the Lord of Sipan in the afterlife.

Some archaeologists suggest that
several of his servants, wives

and consorts were sacrificed,
and their bodies were placed

inside to accompany him
into the afterlife.

We see that Lord Sipan
is not buried in isolation.

We see that he is buried with
some other people, and so when

we extrapolate from this and
when we realize that other

cultures have been doing the
same kind of schematic,

what we're seeing is that these
people believed that the

afterlife was very
much a physical place.

It was believed that he would have
needed some of these helpers.

It is believed that he would
probably want to be reunited,

if not united, with his most
immediate family and some of his

most trusted advisors.

Among the incredible treasures
buried with the Lord of Sipan

were strange statues that some
researchers believe are evidence

of extraterrestrial beings.

As well as servants
and all the artifacts, they

even found these strange, kind
of weird anthropomorphized

figurines that some people say
resemble beings from other worlds.

They show bug-eyed people who do
not look like a normal human.

So you have, at Sipan, really,
a tomb that seems to show

extraterrestrial beings,
anthropomorphic beings that are

half-animal, half-human, and
people who don't look like a

normal human being...
that look like extraterrestrials.

Lord of Sipan's tomb
has some very

interesting relics that were
found within his burial.

Were these beings that were
gonna help him go into the

afterlife, possibly back into
space, or into the heavens?

The Lord of Sipan's disciples
believed that he was

not a mere mortal, but actually
half-god and half-man.

But specifically what
is of interest is that he

has a face mask, which is made
of gold, and his body largely is

dressed with copper shielding.

So, all of a sudden, we see
somebody whose dead body is

meant to resemble
clearly a shining one.

The divine being, which he was
once believed to be, but also,

which in death, he was
believed to once again become.

Was the Lord of Sipan
really half-man, half-god,

as his followers believed?

And might the figurines found in
his grave really represent the

ancient ruler's
extraterrestrial origin?

If so, is it possible that this
tomb, like the ones found in

Egypt, really served as
a portal to the stars?

Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes, and believe more evidence

can be found by looking at the
boat-shaped coffins and strange

burial rituals of the
ancient Torajan people.

South Sulawesi, Indonesia.

Here can be found the cave tombs
of Tana Toraja, the site of a

complex funeral ritual that
dates back to 3000 BC.

The Torajan people believe death is a
gradual process toward the afterlife.

Many cultures believe
in an afterlife,

something that goes on
beyond the physical bodies.

The Toraja people in Indonesia
are very interesting and

unusual, because among the most
elaborate rituals they have are

not rituals of life, but for death.

They have incredible ceremonies
when people die, they have

huge feasts, and they have these
incredible celebrations for the dead.

The Torajan people put the
dead into these special

coffins, which are also like
a model of a spaceship.

And then they inter them
up on these cliffs.

And their beliefs, too, are
that ultimately the dead are

returning to the stars, and
that they as a people will also

return to the stars, as well.

As translated, the
name "Toraja" means

"the people from above," and Torajans
believe their ancestors

descended from the
stars in sky ships.

Their elaborate coffins are
built in the form of a boat,

and thought to resemble the sky ships
that carried their ancestors to Earth.

A wooden effigy called a
tau tau is carved in the

likeness of the dead person
and placed in the balcony to

represent the deceased and
watch over their remains.

The effigies are a
beautiful illustration with

which they wanted to show us
that, once somebody is deceased,

they can still look down upon
you, because being dead doesn't

mean that it's over.

Dead just means that you go on
to the next level of existence.

And it's an idea that has been
with us not just in our culture

but in every ancient culture
and modern culture as well.

The Torajan people, they
believe in sky gods who

descended from the sky, who left
them a body of knowledge and

then who disappeared.

And they very much believed that
by doing what our ancestors did

when these creatures were here
that they will therefore also be

able to join these divine
beings which were once here.

And specifically, that upon
death, they will be able to

join them in the home
of these deities.

That is very much on par with
what we see throughout the world.

Is it possible, as some
researchers believe,

that ancient astronauts visited
Earth thousands of years

ago, and inspired our ancestors
to build boat-shaped coffins

that emulated their space vehicles?

If so, could the presence of
boat coffins mean that our

ancestors were preparing to
make a journey to the stars?

Some believe the ultimate proof
can be found in a mysterious

burial mound in Ireland...
one with star maps that give

clues, not just to where the
ancient visitors came from,

but where the dead may have,
in fact, chosen to return.

Oldcastle, Ireland.

Amid the ruins of a Stone Age
cemetery lies a 5,000-year-old

tomb, nearly 120 feet in diameter.

It is named after the mythical
poet-king, Ollahm Fodhla.

With Ollahm Fodhla's
tomb, what we see is

this connection between
the Earth and the sky.

Some people have suggested it
might be a celestial observatory.

But I think it's much more
likely that it was sort of a

temple, a place of worship, that
connected the sky and the earth.

According to ancient
astronaut theorists,

astronomical hieroglyphs carved
on the interior of the stone

walls may have been the work
of otherworldly beings.

At Ollahm Fodhla we can
find an incredibly

accurate astronomical chart,
and one has to wonder how

those ancestors were able to do this
without any knowledge of astronomy.

In fact, the legends of that
part of the world tell us that

they had assistance, that
these topics were taught to

those people by none other than
the shining ones who descended

from the sky.

Ollahm Fodhla has inside
of it celestial charts.

So you have to ask yourself if
they are perhaps maps for these

extraterrestrial visitors to show
them the way home, back to the stars.

Could extraterrestrials,
as ancient astronaut theorists

suggest, have taught our ancient
ancestors how to build a

so-calle"celestial observatory"?

And if so, might the cemetery
have served as a staging area?

A place for extraterrestrials
to observe, predict and record

stellar movements in preparation
for their return to the stars?

Perhaps the answer can be found
by examining the ancient burial

structures of Japan.

Sakai, Japan.

Here, in this city located 250
miles southwest of Tokyo, lies

the Daisen Kofun, one of over 40 ancient
crypts within a six-mile radius.

More than twice the length of the
Great Pyramid of Giza, it is

one of the largest tombs in the world.

Constructed in the 5th century
AD, it is believed to be the

resting place of Nintoku,
the 16th emperor of Japan.

But of all the various types and
designs that make up the Kofun

structures, perhaps the most
mysterious are those in the

shape of a keyhole, one that
can only be seen from above.

The very fact that this
was made to look like a

keyhole, that this was made
only to be seen from the sky,

would, to me, indicate this
could be a clear message to the

gods to say, "Look here."

And it was some kind
of reference for the stars,

for the person in the tombs.

So is this some kind of tomb
for the extraterrestrial gods

so that they could find and return
to the stars where they had come?

Were the Kofun meant
to serve as markers for

extraterrestrials that planned
to return to Earth, as some

ancient astronaut theorists contend?

Perhaps more evidence can be
found by examining one of the

most immense archaeological finds
of the 20th century...

the vast tomb of
China's first emperor.

Shaanxi Province, China.

In 1974, farmers digging a well
outside the town of Xi'an made

an astonishing discovery...
a life-size clay soldier

intricately carved and
dressed for battle.

Further excavation revealed
thousands of these sculptures,

known as the Terra Cotta
Warriors, each with remarkably

realistic facial expressions.

Entombed in the earth for over
2,000 years, the warriors are

part of a massive underground
mausoleum built for China's

first emperor of the Qin
Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang.

The tomb of Qin Shi Huang
is quite extraordinary.

Over 8,000 terra cotta soldiers
have been found there,

along with 520 horses, 130 chariots,
most of which are still buried.

Qin Shi Huang is literally
the first emperor in China.

He established the Qin
dynasty in the year 221 BC.

And he established many things
that actually continued to

function throughout the
imperial period in China.

Qin conquered and
united China, built the Great

Wall, and standardized the
monetary and legal system.

But Qin Shi Huang was also obsessed
with finding the secret of immortality.

This is an emperor who
goes in search of the

islands of immortality.

This is an emperor who's obsessed
with rediscovering lost knowledge.

His ambition is to become,
life, like the gods.

To this end, Qin spent
over three decades

forcing more than 700,000
laborers to construct

the four-layered subterranean city
that would serve as his resting place.

At the heart of the ancient complex
is one of China's greatest mysteries.

The tomb actually
covers a very large area.

Only a few areas in the
surrounding, the border part

of the tomb complex
have been excavated.

Archaeologists believe
that underneath this

central burial mound is the chamber
containing Emperor Qin's remains.

To date, the site is still
unexcavated, due to dangerously

high levels of mercury.

What's thought to be inside
is an exact model of the

universe in miniature, with the
ceiling, uh, made to look like

the sky with all the stars
represented by pearls.

And then the rivers in China
would be on the ground, and it

is the mercury that is supposed
to look like the rivers.

A conductive
element used in gauges,

electronics, and automobiles,
mercury is a liquid metal that

was discovered by archaeologists
in an Egyptian tomb that dates

back to 1500 BC.

Some researchers believe the
presence of mercury indicates

the existence of modern
technology in the ancient world.

The presence of mercury,
also, in these tombs, is unusual.

Mercury is something which is
not really very useful to us,

except in very high-tech devices.

And it could have been used as
part of the extraterrestrials

and their technology on this planet.

Was the first emperor
of China influenced by

visitors from another world to
create his monument, as ancient

astronaut theorists propose?

And could the mercury found
at the tomb be proof of

extraterrestrial technology at work
in China thousands of years ago...

technology that was not
intended to merely help bury

the dead, but to launch otherworldly
beings back into space?

Perhaps more clues can be found
by taking a closer look at the

mysterious burial mounds
found all over our world.

Gyeongju, South Korea.

Here, near the shores of the Sea of
Japan, lie the ruins of Cheonmachong.

Excavated in 1973, researchers
believe this mound-shaped tomb

was constructed for a
fifth-century ruler from the

Silla dynasty, which spanned
nearly a thousand years.

The main feature of this
tomb is that it has

what's known as a "heavenly
horse" drawn onto it, and it's

often called the Heavenly Horse Tomb.

And this horse has eight
fiery legs that are flaming.

It's clearly not a living,
naturalistic horse.

It almost looks more like a
combination of a horse and a

dragon flying through the air.

This may represent the journey
of the spirit, the soul,

or taking the soul up
to the afterlife.

According to most
historians, this equestrian

illustration represents not only
the importance of horses in

ancient Korean culture, but also the
king's belief in the spirit world.

But ancient astronaut
theorists have another,

much more profound interpretation.

They believe the painting of
the winged horse symbolizes

how the deceased noble would actually
journey to another distant realm.

Tibetans and Mongolians
also have, uh,

similar legends of
these flying horses.

And these horses, too, would be
analogous to the vimanas, uh,

in Sanskrit, which are these
flying machines, the chariots

of the gods that Erich von
Daniken talked about.

And often they're depicted
as this horse, which was the

familiar vehicle that people could
travel in, only these horses could fly.

They were flying vehicles.

If you look at it even
more closely, it resembles

more some type of a dragon.

Because, out of its feet, there's
fire coming out, and the

feet themselves, their legs,
don't really look like legs but

they look as if they are
some type of wings.

We have to remember that our
ancestors were not familiar with

space vehicles, so whatever they
saw up in the sky could best be

described as an eight-legged
horse descending from the sky.

Could the so-called "heavenly
horse" of Cheonmachong

really be a representation of
an extraterrestrial flying

transport, as ancient
astronaut theorists contend?

And if so, would this help to
prove their their theory that

many ancient tombs
were, in fact, portals

to other extraterrestrial worlds?

Perhaps more clues can be found
in the mysterious drawings

of another burial mound located
more than 5,000 miles away.

The Boyne River Valley in Ireland.

Here, 31 miles north of Dublin,
lies Newgrange, a tumulus tomb

dating back to 3200 BC, and similar
to the one found in South Korea.

Of the many ancient burial
chambers discovered in the region,

it is one of the best-preserved.

Newgrange would have
been one the largest

man-built structures on Earth at
the time of its construction.

It dates from around 5,000 years ago,
perhaps even a little bit more.

Predates the Great Pyramids.

So, this was a tremendous
undertaking, by a very

well-established culture, to
build such a massive monument.

Newgrange's inner passage
was constructed with

remarkable precision.

And its design provides an accurate
means of measuring the solar year.

It is astronomically aligned
on the winter solstice,

so that, right at the winter solstice,
and only at the winter solstice...

a sun dagger shoots down through

the central passageway into the
tomb and illuminating the inner

chamber of the tomb.

This inner chamber is carved
with very enigmatic megalithic

symbols... which we still don't
really understand... and really

displays an amazing competence of
this culture on many, many levels.

We don't
know exactly what it meant to

those ancient peoples, but we
can imagine that they gathered

there at the time of the winter
solstice, that there were many

celebrations, and that the
priests and priestesses would go

into this inner chamber to
witness this miracle every year.

We have essentially the death
of the sun on the winter solstice.

On this day, we have the lowest
point of the sun and then we

have rebirth in new life.

So what better for a tomb and to
talk about the journey to the

afterlife than a death and a rebirth
and starting the cycle again?

Is it possible the
celestial alignment at Newgrange

was created to represent a
journey to the afterlife,

as some ancient astronaut
theorists believe?

"Spiral galaxies" is one of those
terms which we use all the time.

And so the question might be:

are some of the spirals somehow
linked with this galactic travel?

And based upon what we know from
the belief of the people who

built Newgrange and their
belief, specifically, about the

voyage of the dead, we know that
this was a voyage in space.

When you look at these
famous tumulus tombs that

are all over the world, they are
these circular mounds, so you

have a shape, in a sense, of
a flying saucer or a UFO.

And the whole idea of the
spiral and the vortex is often

used to symbolize time travel,
and that is the way that

extraterrestrials would
be coming to Earth.

Could the hundreds
of burial mounds found around

the globe be linked through
some otherworldly connection?

And if so, is it really possible
that extraterrestrials used

these tumuli as portals to
travel from galaxy to galaxy,

as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?

Perhaps such far-fetched notions
aren't as hard to imagine as

they seem, especially when
considering that such things are

happening right now, in the
southwest region of North America.

Sierra County,
New Mexico, 2010

Three, two, one, fire.

Aerospace company
Celestis Incorporated launches

one of the world's first private
memorial spaceflights, providing

a unique new funeral
service for the deceased.

What this company
does is, essentially, launch the

ashes of dead people into space,
including the Star Trek creator

Gene Roddenberry,
1960s icon Timothy Leary,

even the astronaut Gordon Cooper,
who was part of the Mercury program

that NASA created.

Celestis rents
compartments on board

conventional rockets assigned
to carry satellites and other

payloads into orbit.

They only do, like, seven
grams of ashes that

they send out there in small,
tiny containers, and so, to me,

this is quite an incredible
thing because we now have the

possibility of sending cremated
remains into outer space.

We have to wonder if this
is now replicating some of

the ancient things that we've
seen by using a boat or some

type of symbology that the
pharaoh or the king in the

afterlife was being prepared
to go back into the heavens.

But why would we want to send
our dearly departed into space?

Does it, in fact, fulfill some
unconscious human desire to

return to the stars after death?

And could this, in some way,
be connected to mankind's

centuries-old belief in Heaven...
a utopian world that exists far

above and beyond our own?

I think it's interesting
that the people who

do this are the ones who have
been the visionaries, the ones

who really wanted to take mankind
into deep space and take

us on a voyage of discovery,
trying to find out whether there

are human beings there, and I
think it's interesting that in

the future we're probably going
to see more and more of this,

and that we're going to become
more and more in tune with what

our ancestors were thinking.

Maybe, at one point in the
future, we will be able to

physically send an entire body
into deep space, on a voyage to

reconnect with our ancestors.

We're all made of stars,
and the whole universe is

created out of the dust of
stars, and so it seems natural

for some people to want to have
their ashes sent back into space.

In the ancient world, we were seen
fundamentally as immortal souls

briefly incarnated in human
bodies and, and possibly

reincarnating and coming
back again and again.

It was understood that some
aspect of the individual lived

on beyond this physical life, and
the tomb was, in a sense, an

immortal home for that
aspect of the individual.

Is it possible, as some
researchers believe, that mankind

has long tried to make a connection
with our otherworldly origins?

And, if so, might ancient tombs
throughout the world have

been constructed to facilitate this
celestial journey, even after death?

It's hard to know what our
earliest ancestors were

thinking when they looked
up into the night sky.

Perhaps they felt dwarfed
by its immensity.

Perhaps they wondered what
the stars were, up in the sky.

Probably they projected their
mythology or maybe invented

mythology about goddesses and
gods and other spiritual beings,

living in a heavenly
world above them.

Maybe that's why so many of
their ancient temples were

aligned with these heavenly bodies.

Our ancestors were building
these structures so

that they could be seen by the
gods in the sky and by the souls

on their way to the gods in the sky.

What our ancestors are saying,
what our ancestors are

reinforcing, is that the soul is going
to go on a voyage into the stars.

All over the world,
we have very similar

types of ceremonies that have
to do with entombing people,

and you have to wonder a little bit
if your body is being preserved

and it's going to be used again.

And if we could do this, that's
something that extraterrestrials

would be able to do, too.

Tombs...

interconnected by design,
tradition, and a desire for

a peaceful passage from life

to death.

Is it possible ancient burial
chambers were built from

knowledge passed on to our ancient
ancestors by celestial beings?

And if so, might we one day
reunite with these beings

through an otherworldly portal?

Perhaps the answer will be
revealed in our lifetime...

or, perhaps, only after
we take our final breath.
