1
00:00:08,747 --> 00:00:10,401
When skeptics say to me,
2
00:00:10,575 --> 00:00:13,143
"Where is the proof that
extraterrestrials ever came
3
00:00:13,317 --> 00:00:15,624
and visited our
planet?", I tell them
4
00:00:15,754 --> 00:00:21,412
to look no further than the
desert soil at Nazca in Peru.
5
00:00:21,586 --> 00:00:25,547
I have always been
fascinated by the fact that here
6
00:00:25,721 --> 00:00:30,030
can be found literally
hundreds of ancient geoglyphs
7
00:00:30,204 --> 00:00:33,946
depicting everything
from birds and fish
8
00:00:34,077 --> 00:00:37,602
to humanoid figures and even
elaborate geometric symbols.
9
00:00:37,733 --> 00:00:41,519
But what's even more bizarre
is that they are done on a scale
10
00:00:41,650 --> 00:00:44,653
so large that they
can only be seen
11
00:00:44,827 --> 00:00:47,003
from up high in the sky.
12
00:00:47,134 --> 00:00:49,440
But who made these symbols?
13
00:00:49,571 --> 00:00:51,660
And who were they meant for?
14
00:00:51,834 --> 00:00:54,097
Certainly not people
here on the ground.
15
00:00:54,228 --> 00:00:57,796
And there were no airplanes
hundreds of years ago.
16
00:00:57,927 --> 00:01:00,756
At least not that we know of.
17
00:01:29,611 --> 00:01:32,353
People have been
studying the Nazca Lines
18
00:01:32,483 --> 00:01:35,704
ever since their discovery
over 80 years ago.
19
00:01:35,834 --> 00:01:39,925
To date, over 1,000 different
images have been identified,
20
00:01:40,056 --> 00:01:43,625
and, amazingly, new
ones are still being found.
21
00:01:43,755 --> 00:01:47,107
On a recent visit to
Peru, I chartered a plane
22
00:01:47,237 --> 00:01:49,500
to fly over the Nazca Lines
23
00:01:49,631 --> 00:01:52,286
with fellow ancient astronaut
theorist, David Childress.
24
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:55,506
And although we had
viewed them from the sky
25
00:01:55,637 --> 00:01:59,771
several times before, we'd
both spot new shapes and figures
26
00:01:59,945 --> 00:02:02,252
we had never seen.
27
00:02:02,383 --> 00:02:04,211
Look, look, over
there, over there!
28
00:02:04,341 --> 00:02:06,387
Okay, that's a good one.
29
00:02:09,738 --> 00:02:12,088
In August of 2014,
30
00:02:12,262 --> 00:02:14,743
pilot Eduardo Herrán
Gómez de la Torre
31
00:02:14,917 --> 00:02:18,094
spotted several Nazca Lines
that had never been seen
32
00:02:18,225 --> 00:02:20,488
by anyone in modern times.
33
00:02:20,618 --> 00:02:25,057
Strong winds and sandstorms
uncovered an unidentified bird,
34
00:02:25,232 --> 00:02:28,104
a figure that resembles a llama,
35
00:02:28,235 --> 00:02:33,414
and a 196-foot-long snake.
36
00:02:33,544 --> 00:02:36,765
For me, Nazca is not
just a mystery but a clue,
37
00:02:36,895 --> 00:02:41,161
one piece in a giant puzzle
that offers not just evidence
38
00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:42,640
but proof.
39
00:02:47,602 --> 00:02:51,693
Southern Peru, 1927.
40
00:02:51,823 --> 00:02:56,350
While hiking in the foothills
of the arid Nazca Desert,
41
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,571
archaeologist Toribio Mejía
Xesspe discovers what appears
42
00:03:00,745 --> 00:03:03,748
to be a large network
of ancient roads
43
00:03:03,922 --> 00:03:07,361
carved into the earth.
44
00:03:07,491 --> 00:03:10,015
Years later, as airplane travel
45
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:12,453
to the region becomes
more frequent,
46
00:03:12,583 --> 00:03:16,108
aerial flyovers reveal
nearly 100 other designs
47
00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:18,676
in the nearby landscape.
48
00:03:20,112 --> 00:03:21,810
Known as geoglyphs,
49
00:03:21,984 --> 00:03:24,682
they depict animals, flowers,
50
00:03:24,856 --> 00:03:28,120
and even a mysterious
human-like being.
51
00:03:29,948 --> 00:03:33,996
Scattered over a nearly
200-square-mile area,
52
00:03:34,170 --> 00:03:38,000
these lines and figures have
become collectively known
53
00:03:38,174 --> 00:03:40,481
as the Nazca Lines.
54
00:03:42,178 --> 00:03:44,354
The Nazca Lines consist
55
00:03:44,485 --> 00:03:47,401
of these massive
drawings, or carvings,
56
00:03:47,531 --> 00:03:49,229
if you like, on the ground.
57
00:03:51,535 --> 00:03:53,972
Everything from
geometric symbols, lines,
58
00:03:54,103 --> 00:03:56,801
to animals, um, fish, birds.
59
00:03:56,932 --> 00:03:59,239
But the intriguing thing
about them is, you know,
60
00:03:59,369 --> 00:04:01,241
number one, they're massive,
61
00:04:01,415 --> 00:04:05,070
and they can really only be
seen properly from the sky.
62
00:04:06,637 --> 00:04:08,770
There are over
800 straight lines.
63
00:04:08,944 --> 00:04:12,426
There are over 70 animal
figures. There are over
64
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,646
150 geometrical shapes.
65
00:04:15,820 --> 00:04:18,127
We have glyphs
of different figurines
66
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:20,521
on the ground.
67
00:04:20,651 --> 00:04:24,133
We have these intricate lines
and what appear to be runways
68
00:04:24,307 --> 00:04:25,874
spread all around the desert.
69
00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:29,269
Some of these actually
show mathematical diagrams
70
00:04:29,443 --> 00:04:31,575
built thousands of years ago,
71
00:04:31,749 --> 00:04:34,535
which really raises
the question: why?
72
00:04:34,709 --> 00:04:36,885
There's an enormous
amount of unanswered
73
00:04:37,059 --> 00:04:39,975
and perhaps unanswerable
74
00:04:40,149 --> 00:04:44,109
questions that arise
from the phenomena.
75
00:04:46,024 --> 00:04:49,245
The largest of the
figures is nearly 1,000 feet,
76
00:04:49,419 --> 00:04:53,684
or the size of
three football fields,
77
00:04:53,858 --> 00:04:58,428
while the longest line
extends almost nine miles.
78
00:04:58,602 --> 00:05:01,126
According to mainstream
archaeologists,
79
00:05:01,257 --> 00:05:05,696
these mysterious earth drawings
were created by the Nazca,
80
00:05:05,870 --> 00:05:08,786
an ancient people that
flourished in the region
81
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,531
between the first and
eighth century AD.
82
00:05:14,662 --> 00:05:17,229
The lines were formed
by the careful removal
83
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,144
of the reddish
iron oxide pebbles
84
00:05:19,275 --> 00:05:22,147
that make up the desert surface.
85
00:05:22,278 --> 00:05:24,411
Once exposed,
the underlying dirt,
86
00:05:24,541 --> 00:05:26,935
which contains
high amounts of lime,
87
00:05:27,109 --> 00:05:30,547
hardened and was
resistant to erosion.
88
00:05:33,289 --> 00:05:36,901
But why did the Nazca
people feel it necessary
89
00:05:37,032 --> 00:05:40,905
to make these elaborate and
massive drawings in the earth?
90
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:44,518
What purpose were
they intended to serve?
91
00:05:44,692 --> 00:05:47,347
And why were they
designed in such a way
92
00:05:47,521 --> 00:05:50,088
that they could have only
been seen and appreciated
93
00:05:50,262 --> 00:05:52,308
from the sky at a time
94
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,964
when aircraft didn't even exist?
95
00:05:56,094 --> 00:05:57,966
The only place you
can see them above
96
00:05:58,140 --> 00:06:00,011
is that somehow
you're floating in midair.
97
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:03,537
It has been suggested
98
00:06:03,711 --> 00:06:07,149
that whoever inhabited
the Nazca Plateau,
99
00:06:07,323 --> 00:06:10,370
that they had access to
some type of balloon flight,
100
00:06:10,544 --> 00:06:12,589
so that they could appreciate
101
00:06:12,763 --> 00:06:16,854
what they had
created on the ground.
102
00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:21,076
If the Nazca population
had access to balloon flight,
103
00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:23,383
the Spanish chroniclers
would have most certainly
104
00:06:23,513 --> 00:06:26,211
recorded that in their reports.
105
00:06:26,342 --> 00:06:29,171
But there is not a single
word that describes
106
00:06:29,345 --> 00:06:32,783
that the Nazcans had
access to hot air balloons.
107
00:06:32,957 --> 00:06:34,959
They would have written
that down, but they didn't,
108
00:06:35,133 --> 00:06:37,135
so it didn't exist.
109
00:06:37,266 --> 00:06:39,399
By default, we're
in the bailiwick
110
00:06:39,573 --> 00:06:42,140
of highly advanced
terrestrial technology,
111
00:06:42,271 --> 00:06:46,406
and that is really the
anomaly of the Nazca Lines.
112
00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:50,192
They really are easy to
make, when you look at it,
113
00:06:50,322 --> 00:06:52,194
because it is only
really removing
114
00:06:52,324 --> 00:06:53,761
the top layer of a surface.
115
00:06:53,891 --> 00:06:56,633
But the magnitude of the figures
116
00:06:56,764 --> 00:06:59,419
is what makes this such
a complex undertaking.
117
00:07:03,727 --> 00:07:06,991
Many of the lines at
Nazca go for miles,
118
00:07:07,165 --> 00:07:10,691
perfectly straight
through the desert.
119
00:07:10,865 --> 00:07:14,303
There are various
trapezoids and spirals
120
00:07:14,434 --> 00:07:16,436
and other glyphs that are
121
00:07:16,566 --> 00:07:19,613
so large that the surveyors
122
00:07:19,787 --> 00:07:23,094
would need some
direction from the sky.
123
00:07:23,268 --> 00:07:26,707
And this is where aliens
124
00:07:26,881 --> 00:07:31,233
or some kind of people
with flight had to be involved
125
00:07:31,407 --> 00:07:34,454
with the creation
of the Nazca Lines.
126
00:07:40,416 --> 00:07:44,507
I was in Peru for
a month in 1987.
127
00:07:44,638 --> 00:07:48,076
I went with a pilot over
the plains of Nazca.
128
00:07:48,206 --> 00:07:50,470
The first pattern
that the pilot said,
129
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,254
"Well, let's aim for that long
130
00:07:52,428 --> 00:07:54,169
six-mile triangle."
131
00:07:54,343 --> 00:07:56,954
And there have been
laser surveys done,
132
00:07:57,085 --> 00:08:00,741
and it is remarkably
accurate, this triangle.
133
00:08:00,915 --> 00:08:03,744
And it looked like
something had pressed
134
00:08:03,874 --> 00:08:08,270
the whole ground
down at least 24 inches.
135
00:08:08,444 --> 00:08:12,535
How would you press
down a six-mile-long
136
00:08:12,709 --> 00:08:17,714
perfect triangle into
the desert of Nazca?
137
00:08:17,845 --> 00:08:21,196
What kind of
technology can do that?
138
00:08:21,326 --> 00:08:24,504
Not the feet of ancient people.
139
00:08:27,245 --> 00:08:29,465
How could the ancient
people of Nazca
140
00:08:29,596 --> 00:08:32,120
have created such
massive geoglyphs
141
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:34,514
without the capability of flight
142
00:08:34,688 --> 00:08:37,473
or the use of advanced tools?
143
00:08:37,604 --> 00:08:39,606
Might these mysterious lines
144
00:08:39,780 --> 00:08:42,434
have actually been
created with the help
145
00:08:42,609 --> 00:08:44,436
of otherworldly beings,
146
00:08:44,611 --> 00:08:47,788
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
147
00:08:50,051 --> 00:08:52,053
The fact that these designs
can only be seen from above,
148
00:08:52,183 --> 00:08:54,795
from the sky, is an indication
149
00:08:54,925 --> 00:08:57,232
that they were used
as navigational markers
150
00:08:57,362 --> 00:08:59,713
for the gods when
they were actually here.
151
00:08:59,887 --> 00:09:01,932
So the question then
becomes, you know,
152
00:09:02,106 --> 00:09:05,936
were they drawn in this
way as navigational markers
153
00:09:06,067 --> 00:09:09,461
for the gods to actually
fly their vehicles in?
154
00:09:09,592 --> 00:09:11,551
Let's assume for a
moment that extraterrestrials
155
00:09:11,725 --> 00:09:13,074
sent down some type
156
00:09:13,204 --> 00:09:14,858
of an unmanned
craft, like a rover
157
00:09:14,989 --> 00:09:16,512
that we have on Mars right now,
158
00:09:16,643 --> 00:09:17,861
that is collecting samples
159
00:09:18,035 --> 00:09:20,385
and is driving around
a desert plateau.
160
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,693
It, of course, leaves
behind some type of tracks.
161
00:09:23,824 --> 00:09:25,739
And then the natives
who just witnessed this
162
00:09:25,913 --> 00:09:27,479
would look at
each other and say,
163
00:09:27,654 --> 00:09:30,395
"Wow. We were
just visited by God."
164
00:09:30,526 --> 00:09:33,616
When in reality, no
such thing happened.
165
00:09:39,927 --> 00:09:42,364
Modern-day historians
and anthropologists
166
00:09:42,538 --> 00:09:45,846
believe the Nazca people
were one of several ancestors
167
00:09:45,976 --> 00:09:47,891
of the Inca civilization,
168
00:09:48,022 --> 00:09:53,375
the largest empire in
pre-Columbian America.
169
00:09:53,549 --> 00:09:55,420
In the 13th century,
170
00:09:55,595 --> 00:09:58,728
the Inca Empire thrived in
the Andes mountain region
171
00:09:58,902 --> 00:10:00,687
of South America.
172
00:10:00,861 --> 00:10:02,732
According to legend,
173
00:10:02,863 --> 00:10:05,735
the mysterious Incan
creator god Viracocha
174
00:10:05,866 --> 00:10:10,261
commissioned the Nazca Lines
and glyphs in the remote past.
175
00:10:12,002 --> 00:10:13,700
And these were
said to be created
176
00:10:13,830 --> 00:10:15,615
by the Viracocha himself,
177
00:10:15,745 --> 00:10:18,748
who was the great
teacher god of the Andes.
178
00:10:18,879 --> 00:10:21,098
And so where he came
from is still a mystery.
179
00:10:21,272 --> 00:10:23,100
He could've been from Sumeria.
180
00:10:23,274 --> 00:10:26,495
He could've been connected
somehow with the Anunnaki.
181
00:10:26,669 --> 00:10:28,149
No one really knows.
182
00:10:28,323 --> 00:10:30,368
But the same legends
and the same stories
183
00:10:30,542 --> 00:10:31,631
of these great gods
184
00:10:31,761 --> 00:10:33,241
appear throughout the world,
185
00:10:33,415 --> 00:10:35,330
especially all the way
through the Americas.
186
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:38,855
Could the lines
and glyphs of Nazca
187
00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:42,250
really have been the work
of the Inca god Viracocha,
188
00:10:42,380 --> 00:10:45,035
as their legends suggest?
189
00:10:45,166 --> 00:10:47,647
If so, what was the purpose
190
00:10:47,821 --> 00:10:51,825
of carving these strange
geoglyphs into the earth?
191
00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:53,914
Perhaps the answers can be found
192
00:10:54,088 --> 00:10:55,916
by taking a closer look
193
00:10:56,090 --> 00:10:59,180
at one of Nazca's
most mysterious figures,
194
00:10:59,310 --> 00:11:03,488
one that has become
known as El Astronauto.
195
00:11:06,622 --> 00:11:09,277
When I was in Nazca
recently with David Childress,
196
00:11:09,451 --> 00:11:11,845
we had local historians take us
197
00:11:12,019 --> 00:11:15,065
to the site of one of the
most mysterious formations,
198
00:11:15,239 --> 00:11:18,242
the Sun-Star and Cross glyph.
199
00:11:18,416 --> 00:11:23,030
It's not just ancient
astronaut theorists who believe
200
00:11:23,204 --> 00:11:26,207
that extraterrestrials may
have been responsible
201
00:11:26,381 --> 00:11:30,080
for the remarkable
glyphs found at Nazca,
202
00:11:30,254 --> 00:11:32,430
but many of the native
people who live here today
203
00:11:32,561 --> 00:11:34,519
believe it, too.
204
00:11:34,650 --> 00:11:37,871
They're also convinced that
the area has been a hot spot
205
00:11:38,001 --> 00:11:41,831
of UFO activity,
even to this day.
206
00:11:41,962 --> 00:11:46,314
Here and around
Nazca and Paracas,
207
00:11:46,444 --> 00:11:49,883
do you sometimes see, um, UFOs,
208
00:11:50,013 --> 00:11:52,755
some light, luz,
light in the sky?
209
00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:00,981
He doesn't know what it is.
210
00:12:16,779 --> 00:12:18,955
It's incredible to think
211
00:12:19,129 --> 00:12:20,565
that there may still
be extraterrestrials
212
00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:23,743
visiting this part of
the world even today,
213
00:12:23,873 --> 00:12:25,570
but what's even more incredible
214
00:12:25,701 --> 00:12:28,356
is that the world only
started paying attention
215
00:12:28,530 --> 00:12:31,272
to the Nazca region
less than 50 years ago,
216
00:12:31,446 --> 00:12:34,014
when researcher Erich
von Daniken determined
217
00:12:34,144 --> 00:12:36,451
that the Nazca
Lines were evidence
218
00:12:36,625 --> 00:12:40,847
for what became known as
the ancient astronaut theory.
219
00:12:46,635 --> 00:12:51,683
Switzerland, 1968.
220
00:12:51,858 --> 00:12:54,599
Researcher and writer
Erich von Daniken
221
00:12:54,730 --> 00:12:59,039
publishes his first book,
Chariots of the Gods?
222
00:12:59,169 --> 00:13:03,391
In it, he introduces
the revolutionary notion
223
00:13:03,521 --> 00:13:07,482
that the Nazca Lines were
created by the Nazca people
224
00:13:07,612 --> 00:13:09,527
after witnessing
extraterrestrials
225
00:13:09,658 --> 00:13:11,616
using advanced technology
226
00:13:11,747 --> 00:13:14,794
and a sophisticated
knowledge of mathematics.
227
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,624
Erich von Daniken
was one of the first
228
00:13:19,755 --> 00:13:23,585
to actually do aerial
flyovers of the Nazca region
229
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:25,805
and was one of the first
researchers to not only look
230
00:13:25,935 --> 00:13:29,547
at the diagrams
on the plain floor
231
00:13:29,678 --> 00:13:31,941
but also in the hills of Nazca.
232
00:13:32,072 --> 00:13:34,422
We find intricate
mathematical diagrams
233
00:13:34,552 --> 00:13:37,729
that have never been
documented before.
234
00:13:47,043 --> 00:13:48,871
When you fly
235
00:13:49,045 --> 00:13:52,396
over the desert, you
see down gigantic lines.
236
00:13:52,570 --> 00:13:54,050
Seen from the air,
237
00:13:54,181 --> 00:13:56,183
they give you the
imagination of airstrips
238
00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:58,620
because they start
abruptly, end abruptly.
239
00:13:58,794 --> 00:14:00,361
Sometimes they cross.
240
00:14:00,491 --> 00:14:01,971
They look like airstrips.
241
00:14:02,102 --> 00:14:05,148
When Erich drew the comparison
242
00:14:05,279 --> 00:14:08,195
as to how this looks
like a network of runways,
243
00:14:08,325 --> 00:14:10,675
it is to draw a
visual comparison
244
00:14:10,806 --> 00:14:14,157
to what they look
like from above.
245
00:14:14,331 --> 00:14:16,899
They are not runways.
They would not support
246
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:20,120
the weight of anything
physically landing there.
247
00:14:22,122 --> 00:14:25,995
Some theorize that
they were runways.
248
00:14:26,169 --> 00:14:29,259
Uh, I don't believe
that for a moment.
249
00:14:29,433 --> 00:14:31,783
Hell, I was in the Air
Force for six years,
250
00:14:31,914 --> 00:14:35,439
and none of the aircraft
that we had would be capable
251
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:38,355
of landing on that as a runway.
252
00:14:38,486 --> 00:14:42,969
Uh, I think it's more
of a attention-getter.
253
00:14:43,099 --> 00:14:44,927
You can see 'em from space.
254
00:14:45,058 --> 00:14:49,714
So I think that it's
a, uh... a signal.
255
00:14:52,456 --> 00:14:54,894
In the more than four
decades since the publication
256
00:14:55,024 --> 00:14:57,418
ofChariots of the Gods?,
257
00:14:57,548 --> 00:15:00,073
Erich von Daniken's
controversial theories
258
00:15:00,247 --> 00:15:02,902
concerning the Nazca
Lines have continued
259
00:15:03,032 --> 00:15:05,861
to spark widespread study.
260
00:15:06,035 --> 00:15:08,820
Some scholars, after
discovering curious patterns
261
00:15:08,995 --> 00:15:10,648
in the numerous designs,
262
00:15:10,822 --> 00:15:14,652
suggest that the Nazca
Lines might actually be one
263
00:15:14,826 --> 00:15:18,613
of the earliest known
examples of applied geometry.
264
00:15:18,743 --> 00:15:22,051
They were interesting
geometric figures.
265
00:15:22,225 --> 00:15:24,010
They could draw a figure,
and then they could envision
266
00:15:24,184 --> 00:15:26,099
making it even bigger.
267
00:15:26,273 --> 00:15:29,450
You're making angles, you're
approximating distances,
268
00:15:29,624 --> 00:15:32,975
and that innate skill of
us to deal with geometry,
269
00:15:33,106 --> 00:15:35,978
I think, translates to
our earliest art forms.
270
00:15:38,198 --> 00:15:41,070
It's interesting as you
look at these designs
271
00:15:41,201 --> 00:15:42,680
on the plains of
Nazca, some of them
272
00:15:42,854 --> 00:15:45,422
have very, very
interesting relationships
273
00:15:45,596 --> 00:15:47,250
to the skies overhead.
274
00:15:47,424 --> 00:15:51,037
There's a very famous
glyph of a spider
275
00:15:51,211 --> 00:15:53,561
with one leg that
extends way, way out,
276
00:15:53,691 --> 00:15:55,084
and if you take that and flip it
277
00:15:55,215 --> 00:15:56,999
into sort of a mirror situation,
278
00:15:57,173 --> 00:15:59,915
what you can plainly see
is that the spider is meant
279
00:16:00,089 --> 00:16:02,135
to represent the
constellation of Orion,
280
00:16:02,309 --> 00:16:04,137
and the spider's
leg, the extension,
281
00:16:04,311 --> 00:16:08,184
is meant to represent
the star Sirius.
282
00:16:08,358 --> 00:16:11,840
So whoever put these
designs on the plains of Nazca
283
00:16:11,971 --> 00:16:13,494
understood the same thing
284
00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:15,713
that all of the other
ancient cultures before them
285
00:16:15,844 --> 00:16:17,541
understood,
which is that there's
286
00:16:17,672 --> 00:16:22,111
some critical importance to
understanding Orion and Sirius
287
00:16:22,285 --> 00:16:25,897
and their relationship
to the Earth.
288
00:16:27,899 --> 00:16:30,163
But could the Nazca
figures really have had
289
00:16:30,337 --> 00:16:34,210
a more profound purpose?
290
00:16:34,384 --> 00:16:36,473
Some ancient astronaut
theorists believe
291
00:16:36,604 --> 00:16:39,781
they were created as a means
of communicating messages
292
00:16:39,911 --> 00:16:41,522
to the gods,
293
00:16:41,652 --> 00:16:44,786
messages that may
have also included a plea
294
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:49,356
for them to return.
295
00:16:49,486 --> 00:16:52,054
Ancient astronaut theorists
296
00:16:52,228 --> 00:16:55,623
believe the mysterious
figure known as El Astronauto
297
00:16:55,797 --> 00:17:00,193
could hold a clue to
the Nazca mystery.
298
00:17:00,367 --> 00:17:02,238
You have a figure
that looks like E.T.,
299
00:17:02,412 --> 00:17:04,284
with the big eyes
and the big head,
300
00:17:04,414 --> 00:17:07,635
and one hand is
pointing to the sky
301
00:17:07,809 --> 00:17:10,594
and the other is
pointing to Earth,
302
00:17:10,768 --> 00:17:13,423
as if it was some
type of a message,
303
00:17:13,554 --> 00:17:15,164
"Hey, something happened here.
304
00:17:15,295 --> 00:17:18,733
We were visited by
beings from above."
305
00:17:21,605 --> 00:17:24,652
Is the mysterious figure
known as El Astronauto
306
00:17:24,782 --> 00:17:29,526
evidence of an extraterrestrial
visitation in the distant past,
307
00:17:29,657 --> 00:17:32,181
as some researchers believe?
308
00:17:32,355 --> 00:17:35,880
And if so, might
this suggest a reason
309
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:39,841
why extraterrestrial visitors
may have landed at Nazca
310
00:17:40,015 --> 00:17:42,670
in the first place?
311
00:17:46,108 --> 00:17:48,284
We send scientists
312
00:17:48,458 --> 00:17:51,374
from the University
of Dresden to Nazca.
313
00:17:51,505 --> 00:17:54,334
They measured
the magnetic field,
314
00:17:54,464 --> 00:17:57,685
and they found a change
in the magnetic field
315
00:17:57,859 --> 00:18:00,644
under some of the lines.
316
00:18:00,775 --> 00:18:05,084
And also, we measured
the conduction,
317
00:18:05,214 --> 00:18:06,998
electricity along the lines,
318
00:18:07,173 --> 00:18:13,092
and right next to it, the
ability to conduct currency
319
00:18:13,266 --> 00:18:19,533
was 8,000 time
higher on the lines.
320
00:18:19,707 --> 00:18:24,320
And they found that eight
feet below one of these lines,
321
00:18:24,451 --> 00:18:27,018
the magnetic field
definitely changes.
322
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:30,065
So we have the result.
323
00:18:30,196 --> 00:18:31,893
There is something
in the ground,
324
00:18:32,067 --> 00:18:34,896
but we don't know what it is.
325
00:18:40,771 --> 00:18:43,644
Is it really possible that
something in the earth
326
00:18:43,818 --> 00:18:48,518
might have attracted an
otherworldly species to Nazca?
327
00:18:50,564 --> 00:18:52,348
Could it have been an outpost
328
00:18:52,479 --> 00:18:55,351
for a mining operation
of precious metals?
329
00:18:55,525 --> 00:19:00,704
Or perhaps minerals
needed for rocket fuel?
330
00:19:00,835 --> 00:19:02,010
It's been said that if any
extraterrestrial wanted
331
00:19:02,184 --> 00:19:03,751
to come to Earth,
332
00:19:03,881 --> 00:19:06,449
Nazca would be a great
place for them to land.
333
00:19:06,623 --> 00:19:08,277
Nitrates and various
things that we use
334
00:19:08,408 --> 00:19:10,540
in our modern propulsion
are found in abundance.
335
00:19:10,714 --> 00:19:13,152
Maybe it's possible that
extraterrestrials were aware
336
00:19:13,282 --> 00:19:15,719
of this location as
an energy source,
337
00:19:15,893 --> 00:19:18,374
and ancient man left these
depictions and runways
338
00:19:18,505 --> 00:19:22,335
as a way to entice those
beings to come back.
339
00:19:22,509 --> 00:19:26,774
We find that the Nazca
civilization was placed
340
00:19:26,948 --> 00:19:28,689
in nitrate-rich environments.
341
00:19:28,863 --> 00:19:31,518
They had no purpose
for these nitrates.
342
00:19:31,692 --> 00:19:34,564
The question might be
whether nitrate was indeed
343
00:19:34,738 --> 00:19:39,134
of importance to the people
who came to this area,
344
00:19:39,265 --> 00:19:41,267
maybe in prehistoric times.
345
00:19:41,441 --> 00:19:44,095
Maybe an
extraterrestrial civilization
346
00:19:44,270 --> 00:19:47,925
somehow had a
purpose for this nitrate.
347
00:19:48,056 --> 00:19:50,363
With any visit or
with any project,
348
00:19:50,537 --> 00:19:54,541
the time arrives when
something is finished.
349
00:19:57,935 --> 00:20:01,330
And that is why some of
these contacts had ended,
350
00:20:01,461 --> 00:20:07,118
because the extraterrestrials
went on to different places.
351
00:20:07,293 --> 00:20:09,991
So why would extraterrestrials
352
00:20:10,165 --> 00:20:13,168
be coming to Nazca?
353
00:20:13,299 --> 00:20:14,561
Some of the lines at Nazca
354
00:20:14,735 --> 00:20:17,564
are going straight
through the Andes.
355
00:20:17,694 --> 00:20:21,655
The lines themselves
directed you farther east.
356
00:20:21,785 --> 00:20:24,832
But if Nazca was used
as an ancient mining site
357
00:20:24,962 --> 00:20:28,009
by extraterrestrials,
might there be evidence
358
00:20:28,183 --> 00:20:32,361
of other, similar sites
around the globe?
359
00:20:32,535 --> 00:20:36,452
According to ancient
astronaut theorists, there are,
360
00:20:36,583 --> 00:20:39,499
and they can be found
hundreds of miles away
361
00:20:39,629 --> 00:20:44,243
at the ruins of
another lost civilization.
362
00:20:54,731 --> 00:20:57,168
Western Bolivia.
363
00:20:57,299 --> 00:21:00,911
400 miles east of
the Nazca Plain,
364
00:21:01,085 --> 00:21:03,174
near Lake Titicaca,
365
00:21:03,349 --> 00:21:07,004
lay the ancient
ruins of Tiahuanaco.
366
00:21:07,135 --> 00:21:09,616
According to archaeologists,
367
00:21:09,746 --> 00:21:12,183
this ancient city
was the capital
368
00:21:12,314 --> 00:21:14,229
of the Tiahuanaco culture
369
00:21:14,403 --> 00:21:18,364
that thrived more
than 1,000 years ago.
370
00:21:18,494 --> 00:21:21,802
But ancient astronaut
theorists believe
371
00:21:21,932 --> 00:21:24,718
that Tiahuanaco
is also the place
372
00:21:24,848 --> 00:21:28,983
where the mysterious Nazca
Lines seem to be pointing to.
373
00:21:29,113 --> 00:21:32,291
But if so, why?
374
00:21:35,685 --> 00:21:39,559
When we consider the
Nazca Lines in Peru,
375
00:21:39,733 --> 00:21:42,257
we have to consider
them in their context.
376
00:21:42,388 --> 00:21:45,304
They're not isolated phenomena.
377
00:21:45,434 --> 00:21:46,783
There might not
be other examples
378
00:21:46,957 --> 00:21:49,003
exactly like the Nazca Lines,
379
00:21:49,133 --> 00:21:51,658
but they would be embedded
380
00:21:51,832 --> 00:21:53,573
in a larger, ritualized
381
00:21:53,747 --> 00:21:56,532
or ceremonial landscape
that might include
382
00:21:56,663 --> 00:21:58,969
other famous places
from ancient cultures
383
00:21:59,143 --> 00:22:01,450
such as Tiahuanaco.
384
00:22:01,581 --> 00:22:03,452
At Tiahuanaco, we can
385
00:22:03,626 --> 00:22:06,673
find hundreds of glyphs.
We can find faces.
386
00:22:08,849 --> 00:22:11,547
We can find carvings of
all sorts of different things.
387
00:22:14,637 --> 00:22:17,074
According to legend, Tiahuanaco
388
00:22:17,248 --> 00:22:21,122
was created as a tribute
to beings called sky people,
389
00:22:21,252 --> 00:22:23,907
under the direction
of Viracocha,
390
00:22:24,081 --> 00:22:27,476
the Inca god linked to Nazca.
391
00:22:27,607 --> 00:22:30,305
But might these sky people
392
00:22:30,479 --> 00:22:32,481
be the same extraterrestrials
393
00:22:32,612 --> 00:22:34,831
who helped create
the Nazca Lines
394
00:22:35,005 --> 00:22:37,530
thousands of years ago?
395
00:22:37,704 --> 00:22:40,620
According to ancient
astronaut theorists,
396
00:22:40,794 --> 00:22:42,752
the answer is yes.
397
00:22:44,885 --> 00:22:47,104
Nazca, in a sense,
398
00:22:47,278 --> 00:22:50,586
is really a way station
along the coast of Peru.
399
00:22:53,023 --> 00:22:56,766
There's an indication there
that once you arrived in Nazca
400
00:22:56,940 --> 00:23:00,727
with your airship, the lines
themselves directed you
401
00:23:00,857 --> 00:23:04,383
into the Andes to the
giant megalithic cities
402
00:23:04,513 --> 00:23:07,864
of Tiahuanaco and Pumapunku.
403
00:23:11,215 --> 00:23:12,956
But is there other evidence
404
00:23:13,087 --> 00:23:16,612
of an extraterrestrial
presence at Tiahuanaco?
405
00:23:16,743 --> 00:23:20,007
Evidence that
may give us insight
406
00:23:20,137 --> 00:23:22,966
into the true nature
of the ancient aliens
407
00:23:23,140 --> 00:23:26,666
who allegedly visited
Nazca in the remote past?
408
00:23:26,796 --> 00:23:29,973
There are many
connections between
409
00:23:30,104 --> 00:23:32,976
the Nazca culture along
the west coast of Peru
410
00:23:33,107 --> 00:23:35,588
and the inland cultures--
the Andean cultures
411
00:23:35,718 --> 00:23:38,373
of Tihuanaco,
Pumapunku and Cuzco.
412
00:23:38,504 --> 00:23:41,420
All throughout this area,
413
00:23:41,594 --> 00:23:45,249
they found evidence of
these unusual elongated skulls
414
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:48,165
in all these different
places, not just in one area.
415
00:23:48,339 --> 00:23:50,254
And so it seems like
416
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:52,996
they were the
builders of these sites.
417
00:23:53,127 --> 00:23:56,826
Found in numerous
gravesites in the region,
418
00:23:56,957 --> 00:24:00,569
these elongated skulls
have a cranial capacity
419
00:24:00,743 --> 00:24:04,747
25% larger than human skulls.
420
00:24:04,921 --> 00:24:07,446
But where did they come from?
421
00:24:07,576 --> 00:24:10,840
You will find academic critics
422
00:24:10,971 --> 00:24:12,407
who will say it was because
423
00:24:12,581 --> 00:24:14,931
there were some Incas
424
00:24:15,062 --> 00:24:17,064
who wrapped their baby's heads
425
00:24:17,238 --> 00:24:19,849
in some kind of
blankets or cloths
426
00:24:20,023 --> 00:24:23,505
to make them grow long-- a
kind of cosmetic procedure.
427
00:24:25,638 --> 00:24:28,249
There's a lot of
argument on the other side
428
00:24:28,379 --> 00:24:31,339
that there is not
one single piece
429
00:24:31,513 --> 00:24:33,646
of cultural evidence
430
00:24:33,820 --> 00:24:36,823
that the Incas ever
bound the heads.
431
00:24:38,825 --> 00:24:42,219
So you've got a conflict
there among archaeologists
432
00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:44,831
even looking at
the Peruvian heads.
433
00:24:45,005 --> 00:24:48,661
But if there is no
evidence of the skulls
434
00:24:48,791 --> 00:24:50,880
being created by
means of binding
435
00:24:51,054 --> 00:24:52,839
or other man-made means,
436
00:24:52,969 --> 00:24:55,363
then how can they be explained?
437
00:24:55,537 --> 00:24:56,843
Could there be another--
438
00:24:56,973 --> 00:24:59,062
perhaps more extraterrestrial--
439
00:24:59,193 --> 00:25:00,673
explanation?
440
00:25:00,803 --> 00:25:03,284
Might they be
evidence of some kind
441
00:25:03,414 --> 00:25:06,026
of human-alien hybrid race?
442
00:25:06,156 --> 00:25:09,464
A race that not only
lived in western Peru
443
00:25:09,595 --> 00:25:11,422
but who may have also inhabited
444
00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:13,860
ancient Egypt?
445
00:25:15,818 --> 00:25:19,343
According to ancient
astronaut theorists,
446
00:25:19,518 --> 00:25:21,563
the answer is a profound yes.
447
00:25:25,219 --> 00:25:28,831
And they also cite a link
between the people of Nazca
448
00:25:29,005 --> 00:25:31,834
and the god Viracocha.
449
00:25:32,008 --> 00:25:34,271
What's most interesting
450
00:25:34,402 --> 00:25:36,535
is the fact that Viracocha
451
00:25:36,665 --> 00:25:38,972
was also said to be the
builder of all these sites.
452
00:25:39,102 --> 00:25:43,933
So was he part of the race
of the elongated skull people
453
00:25:44,064 --> 00:25:47,371
that came to this
land and built all these
454
00:25:47,502 --> 00:25:50,940
amazing megalithic temples
as well as the Nazca Lines?
455
00:25:54,117 --> 00:25:57,425
What is perhaps as
mysterious as the origin
456
00:25:57,599 --> 00:25:59,470
of the elongated skulls
457
00:25:59,601 --> 00:26:02,561
is the fate of the Nazca people.
458
00:26:02,691 --> 00:26:05,651
According to most
archaeologists, both Nazca
459
00:26:05,825 --> 00:26:08,479
and Tiahuanaco were
suddenly abandoned
460
00:26:08,654 --> 00:26:10,438
at about the same time
461
00:26:10,612 --> 00:26:13,223
approximately 1,000 years ago.
462
00:26:16,009 --> 00:26:18,141
Those civilizations,
463
00:26:18,315 --> 00:26:20,535
I think, are connected
to what was going on
464
00:26:20,709 --> 00:26:22,755
in the Peruvian desert
465
00:26:22,929 --> 00:26:25,409
with the Nazca. To what extent,
466
00:26:25,584 --> 00:26:27,977
I don't think we know.
There's not enough information
467
00:26:28,151 --> 00:26:31,111
that has been gleaned
from those, uh, civilizations,
468
00:26:31,241 --> 00:26:33,330
but they both disappeared
469
00:26:33,504 --> 00:26:34,941
around the same time
470
00:26:35,115 --> 00:26:36,420
for whatever reasons.
471
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:38,988
There was some shift
472
00:26:39,162 --> 00:26:40,816
in the earth right then,
473
00:26:40,947 --> 00:26:43,340
either some massive
earthquake that even caused
474
00:26:43,514 --> 00:26:45,995
Lake Titicaca to flood
475
00:26:46,126 --> 00:26:48,519
the whole area.
476
00:26:48,650 --> 00:26:50,870
Or perhaps it was some kind of
477
00:26:51,044 --> 00:26:54,656
cosmic war between
the extraterrestrials.
478
00:26:57,354 --> 00:27:00,836
But once the mining
center, the, in a sense,
479
00:27:01,010 --> 00:27:03,491
the capital of this
area was destroyed
480
00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:05,362
and no longer functioning,
481
00:27:05,493 --> 00:27:07,800
Nazca became this backwater
482
00:27:07,974 --> 00:27:11,630
where nothing was
really happening anymore.
483
00:27:11,804 --> 00:27:14,197
And it was during
that period, probably,
484
00:27:14,371 --> 00:27:15,808
that many of the lines
485
00:27:15,938 --> 00:27:18,375
were drawn and the figures,
486
00:27:18,549 --> 00:27:20,595
trying to attract
487
00:27:20,769 --> 00:27:22,815
the extraterrestrials.
488
00:27:22,945 --> 00:27:26,253
Now, while many elongated skulls
489
00:27:26,383 --> 00:27:29,822
are undoubtedly the
result of head binding,
490
00:27:29,952 --> 00:27:31,867
conventional
archaeologists are too quick
491
00:27:31,998 --> 00:27:34,435
to jump to the conclusion
that head binding
492
00:27:34,565 --> 00:27:38,352
is the explanation for
all elongated skulls.
493
00:27:38,482 --> 00:27:40,267
I recently got the chance
494
00:27:40,397 --> 00:27:42,661
to see some of the
elongated skulls unearthed
495
00:27:42,835 --> 00:27:45,011
in Peru at the Paracas
History Museum.
496
00:27:45,141 --> 00:27:48,144
And let me tell
you, these skulls are
497
00:27:48,275 --> 00:27:49,624
truly bizarre.
498
00:27:49,798 --> 00:27:51,365
I can't say for certain
499
00:27:51,539 --> 00:27:53,846
that these skulls
are of alien origin,
500
00:27:54,020 --> 00:27:57,066
but they definitely
gave me the chills.
501
00:27:57,197 --> 00:28:00,896
But just as elongated
skulls are not unique to Peru,
502
00:28:01,027 --> 00:28:03,812
neither are the ancient
formations that were made
503
00:28:03,986 --> 00:28:05,596
to be seen from the sky.
504
00:28:05,727 --> 00:28:08,643
Some of them can be
found much closer to home,
505
00:28:08,774 --> 00:28:11,690
even in the United States.
506
00:28:18,871 --> 00:28:22,788
Pleasant Hill, Ohio. 1848.
507
00:28:22,918 --> 00:28:25,399
The Smithsonian
Institute surveys
508
00:28:25,573 --> 00:28:27,662
a 1,350-foot-long,
509
00:28:27,793 --> 00:28:30,012
three-foot-high effigy mound
510
00:28:30,186 --> 00:28:32,928
built in the shape
of a coiling serpent.
511
00:28:37,019 --> 00:28:39,587
Like the lines and
geoglyphs of Nazca,
512
00:28:39,761 --> 00:28:41,023
this reptilian motif,
513
00:28:41,154 --> 00:28:43,460
known as the Serpent Mound,
514
00:28:43,634 --> 00:28:47,334
can only be seen from
high above the earth.
515
00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:50,729
Similar to Nazca,
516
00:28:50,859 --> 00:28:52,469
what we have with
these earth mounds
517
00:28:52,643 --> 00:28:54,602
is that they're put into
518
00:28:54,733 --> 00:28:57,344
easily recognizable symbols.
519
00:28:57,474 --> 00:29:00,434
But unless you're
looking at them
520
00:29:00,608 --> 00:29:01,827
from some altitude,
521
00:29:02,001 --> 00:29:04,438
they don't look like anything.
522
00:29:04,568 --> 00:29:07,658
In the Native American legend,
523
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:09,443
we call it
524
00:29:09,573 --> 00:29:11,532
the plume serpent,
which is probably
525
00:29:11,662 --> 00:29:13,360
the same as, uh,
526
00:29:13,490 --> 00:29:17,059
Quetzalcoatl down
in the tribes in Mexico.
527
00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:19,888
The-the plume serpent theory
528
00:29:20,019 --> 00:29:21,542
is probably related to something
529
00:29:21,716 --> 00:29:24,501
that came from the sky.
530
00:29:24,632 --> 00:29:28,331
It came from the
extraterrestrial territory.
531
00:29:28,505 --> 00:29:31,030
Serpent Mound and other places
532
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,075
of what the Indians used to
533
00:29:33,249 --> 00:29:34,947
call places of worship
534
00:29:35,121 --> 00:29:37,863
are very important
to study these things.
535
00:29:38,037 --> 00:29:40,343
There are certain
things that are connected
536
00:29:40,517 --> 00:29:42,606
for the well-being
of the planet,
537
00:29:42,737 --> 00:29:44,870
whether it be the
magnetic system,
538
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,697
whether it be the ley lines,
539
00:29:46,828 --> 00:29:49,744
whether it be observance points
540
00:29:49,918 --> 00:29:51,659
from other worlds
541
00:29:51,790 --> 00:29:54,009
that existed here before.
542
00:29:56,533 --> 00:29:59,841
According to historians
and anthropologists,
543
00:30:00,015 --> 00:30:02,322
an indigenous Native
American culture
544
00:30:02,452 --> 00:30:05,325
called the Fort Ancient
people built the mounds
545
00:30:05,499 --> 00:30:07,457
nearly 1,000 years ago.
546
00:30:07,588 --> 00:30:10,809
But, if so, why?
547
00:30:12,898 --> 00:30:15,117
Serpent Mound is
an extraordinary site.
548
00:30:15,291 --> 00:30:18,642
It is one of the most important
sites in North America.
549
00:30:18,817 --> 00:30:22,037
It's almost as if somebody
is trying to point out
550
00:30:22,168 --> 00:30:25,127
that for anybody
passing from above,
551
00:30:25,258 --> 00:30:28,522
he or she or it is
about to approach
552
00:30:28,696 --> 00:30:30,872
a site of importance.
553
00:30:31,003 --> 00:30:33,875
Why would a so-called
primitive people
554
00:30:34,006 --> 00:30:36,356
have constructed a
massive earthwork
555
00:30:36,486 --> 00:30:39,228
that, like the geoglyphs
and lines in Nazca,
556
00:30:39,402 --> 00:30:41,970
went unnoticed and undetected
557
00:30:42,101 --> 00:30:45,582
by those on the ground
for hundreds of years?
558
00:30:45,713 --> 00:30:48,150
Perhaps a clue can be found
559
00:30:48,281 --> 00:30:50,065
in the fact that
the Serpent Mound
560
00:30:50,196 --> 00:30:53,460
was constructed on the
edge of a meteor crater
561
00:30:53,634 --> 00:30:57,377
that was formed approximately
300 million years ago.
562
00:30:57,507 --> 00:30:59,422
Coincidence?
563
00:31:02,295 --> 00:31:05,428
Or was the mound's
proximity to a meteor site
564
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:08,605
intended to mark the
presence of a very rare
565
00:31:08,736 --> 00:31:11,217
and precious element
often found in meteors--
566
00:31:11,391 --> 00:31:13,828
iridium?
567
00:31:14,002 --> 00:31:16,222
Iridium has great
conductive abilities.
568
00:31:16,352 --> 00:31:19,007
It's one of the rarest elements
we have, and it tends to be
569
00:31:19,181 --> 00:31:21,749
concentrated in unique
areas for two reasons.
570
00:31:23,707 --> 00:31:26,667
Either a meteorite crashed
at some point in the past...
571
00:31:28,103 --> 00:31:32,064
or volcanic activity
and lava flow.
572
00:31:32,194 --> 00:31:34,762
Looking at locations like
the Serpent Mound in Ohio
573
00:31:34,893 --> 00:31:36,938
and various other sites, we see
574
00:31:37,112 --> 00:31:39,898
some type of energy source
that either was powering
575
00:31:40,028 --> 00:31:42,901
these locations
or is still offering
576
00:31:43,031 --> 00:31:44,685
some type of
energy source today,
577
00:31:44,859 --> 00:31:47,340
like iridium and
other exotic elements.
578
00:31:47,514 --> 00:31:50,082
And if extraterrestrials are
aware of these locations,
579
00:31:50,212 --> 00:31:53,302
were they tapping
into this energy?
580
00:31:53,433 --> 00:31:56,175
The concentration of iridium
on that site is ten times higher
581
00:31:56,305 --> 00:31:57,872
than what would be expected.
582
00:31:58,046 --> 00:32:01,267
Serpent Mound is
some kind of memorial
583
00:32:01,441 --> 00:32:04,096
to the presence of another
world involved in mining
584
00:32:04,226 --> 00:32:06,663
of this iridium at some
point in the remote
585
00:32:06,794 --> 00:32:09,318
or maybe not-so-remote past.
586
00:32:09,449 --> 00:32:11,190
There's even
gravitational anomalies
587
00:32:11,364 --> 00:32:14,062
such as you get at the
Serpent Mound in Ohio
588
00:32:14,193 --> 00:32:17,674
which has magnetic
and gravitational effects.
589
00:32:17,805 --> 00:32:19,981
And it can really affect
your consciousness.
590
00:32:20,155 --> 00:32:22,636
A whole preponderance of
possibilities that these sites
591
00:32:22,810 --> 00:32:24,943
were built on these
particular spots.
592
00:32:28,381 --> 00:32:30,731
Could the Serpent
Mound be a marker
593
00:32:30,861 --> 00:32:33,647
where extraterrestrial
beings mined iridium
594
00:32:33,821 --> 00:32:35,170
as an energy source,
595
00:32:35,301 --> 00:32:38,565
as some ancient astronaut
researchers believe?
596
00:32:38,739 --> 00:32:41,960
And if so, might
there be a connection
597
00:32:42,090 --> 00:32:44,049
between energy
in the ground here
598
00:32:44,179 --> 00:32:47,878
and that found in
the Nazca plain?
599
00:32:48,009 --> 00:32:51,447
Perhaps more clues can be found
600
00:32:51,621 --> 00:32:53,928
by examining the
mysterious crop circles
601
00:32:54,059 --> 00:32:56,235
discovered throughout the world.
602
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:02,981
One of the most
puzzling formations
603
00:33:03,155 --> 00:33:05,853
to be found in Peru
is an ancient site
604
00:33:05,984 --> 00:33:07,898
on the Cajamarquilla plain
605
00:33:08,029 --> 00:33:11,032
known as the Band of Holes.
606
00:33:11,206 --> 00:33:14,557
Located about 100 miles
from the Nazca Lines, there is
607
00:33:14,688 --> 00:33:18,474
a seemingly deliberate pattern
formed by over 5,000 holes
608
00:33:18,648 --> 00:33:22,348
of varying dimensions and
depths dug into the earth,
609
00:33:22,478 --> 00:33:25,003
running north and
south for almost
610
00:33:25,133 --> 00:33:27,527
two miles along
a mountain range.
611
00:33:29,398 --> 00:33:32,010
Like the Nazca Lines,
the Band of Holes
612
00:33:32,184 --> 00:33:34,490
can only be
appreciated in its entirety
613
00:33:34,664 --> 00:33:37,972
from high above the ground.
But what does it mean?
614
00:33:38,146 --> 00:33:40,975
While some say it
represents a serpent,
615
00:33:41,149 --> 00:33:44,892
others claim it may have
been used as some type of
616
00:33:45,066 --> 00:33:47,416
human-to-alien
communication system.
617
00:33:47,547 --> 00:33:51,116
Early humans would build
fires in the stone-lined holes,
618
00:33:51,246 --> 00:33:54,858
following a precise numeric
code in order to send signals
619
00:33:54,989 --> 00:33:58,993
to alien ships flying overhead.
620
00:33:59,124 --> 00:34:00,951
Now, while I'm still not certain
621
00:34:01,126 --> 00:34:03,128
what to make of it,
the Band of Holes
622
00:34:03,302 --> 00:34:05,869
does appear to be
yet another example
623
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,395
of an ancient formation
designed as a message
624
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:11,310
to be seen from above.
625
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,008
And this is also true of another
626
00:34:14,139 --> 00:34:15,836
recently discovered phenomenon:
627
00:34:15,966 --> 00:34:17,881
crop circles.
628
00:34:21,972 --> 00:34:25,193
Wiltshire, England, 1978.
629
00:34:26,977 --> 00:34:29,284
Here, in this
tranquil countryside
630
00:34:29,458 --> 00:34:31,939
90 miles west of London,
631
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:35,595
strange crop circles
begin to appear overnight
632
00:34:35,725 --> 00:34:38,728
in fields of wheat and corn.
633
00:34:38,859 --> 00:34:41,166
Like the geoglyphs
found at Nazca,
634
00:34:41,296 --> 00:34:43,603
the designs are geometric shapes
635
00:34:43,777 --> 00:34:45,866
seen only from above.
636
00:34:48,173 --> 00:34:50,436
Crop circles--
they are described
637
00:34:50,566 --> 00:34:52,002
as some type of energy ball
638
00:34:52,177 --> 00:34:54,135
that whizzed through the
field and all of a sudden
639
00:34:54,266 --> 00:34:56,224
there's this intricate diagram.
640
00:34:56,355 --> 00:34:58,139
We also have to wonder if
641
00:34:58,313 --> 00:35:00,968
extraterrestrials potentially
were involved in Nazca,
642
00:35:01,099 --> 00:35:03,231
maybe they're also trying
to get us messages today
643
00:35:03,405 --> 00:35:04,885
through crop circles.
644
00:35:08,715 --> 00:35:09,585
There is a correlation
645
00:35:09,716 --> 00:35:12,066
between the ancient glyphs
646
00:35:12,197 --> 00:35:14,808
and the modern crop
circles in that they're both
647
00:35:14,982 --> 00:35:17,071
being presented to the
earth from what we would call
648
00:35:17,245 --> 00:35:20,335
star peoples using
a higher technology.
649
00:35:22,642 --> 00:35:25,645
Mainstream scientists
have yet to acknowledge
650
00:35:25,819 --> 00:35:29,083
an extraterrestrial
connection to crop circles.
651
00:35:29,214 --> 00:35:31,868
But ancient astronaut theorists
652
00:35:32,042 --> 00:35:34,697
remain convinced
that there is more here
653
00:35:34,828 --> 00:35:37,700
than what meets
the skeptical eye.
654
00:35:37,874 --> 00:35:40,703
While some crop
circles are undoubtedly
655
00:35:40,877 --> 00:35:43,358
the work of farmers and others
656
00:35:43,489 --> 00:35:45,447
trying to pull off a hoax,
657
00:35:45,578 --> 00:35:49,886
many cannot be
explained so easily.
658
00:35:50,017 --> 00:35:51,932
They appear to be
made too quickly,
659
00:35:52,062 --> 00:35:54,152
too perfectly.
660
00:35:54,282 --> 00:35:56,676
Some magically appear
within a few hours,
661
00:35:56,806 --> 00:36:00,288
accompanied by
strange lights in the sky.
662
00:36:00,419 --> 00:36:02,247
Could there be a connection
663
00:36:02,377 --> 00:36:04,640
between these unusual shapes
664
00:36:04,771 --> 00:36:06,599
and the mysterious designs
665
00:36:06,729 --> 00:36:09,297
found at Nazca?
666
00:36:09,471 --> 00:36:12,126
Now, people suggest
667
00:36:12,257 --> 00:36:15,085
that crop circles are made
by either extraterrestrials
668
00:36:15,260 --> 00:36:18,263
or some sort of
non-human intelligence,
669
00:36:18,437 --> 00:36:20,134
some sort of non-human entity
670
00:36:20,265 --> 00:36:23,442
that's possibly trying
to give us a message.
671
00:36:23,572 --> 00:36:25,313
If we draw the parallel between
672
00:36:25,444 --> 00:36:27,707
the crop circles
and the Nazca Lines,
673
00:36:27,837 --> 00:36:31,145
one, yes, is made in, like,
a sandy desert-type terrain,
674
00:36:31,276 --> 00:36:33,974
the other's made in corn,
675
00:36:34,104 --> 00:36:37,630
but the actual designs
are somewhat similar,
676
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,067
and maybe even the
message is a similar one,
677
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:41,982
but it's just been
upgraded for a new era
678
00:36:42,156 --> 00:36:43,505
and a different country.
679
00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:48,336
In the past, we set the
communications in stone.
680
00:36:48,467 --> 00:36:51,252
And what's happening now, today,
681
00:36:51,383 --> 00:36:54,951
in fields all over the world,
but especially in England,
682
00:36:55,125 --> 00:36:57,389
the crop circles are
so much more complex
683
00:36:57,519 --> 00:36:59,782
than the designs at
Nazca, and there definitely
684
00:36:59,956 --> 00:37:03,264
seems to be some sort of
communications taking place.
685
00:37:03,438 --> 00:37:06,485
Somebody is trying to
communicate with us,
686
00:37:06,659 --> 00:37:10,184
and we are too stupid to
understand the communication.
687
00:37:10,315 --> 00:37:14,232
One morning, you
have a simple circle
688
00:37:14,362 --> 00:37:16,495
in a crop field.
689
00:37:16,669 --> 00:37:18,366
Now, the humans
think, "Okay, circle,
690
00:37:18,497 --> 00:37:21,717
it happens by the wind or by
animals overnight or whatever."
691
00:37:21,891 --> 00:37:23,893
We all are too arrogant,
692
00:37:24,067 --> 00:37:27,201
so we don't try
at communication.
693
00:37:29,725 --> 00:37:31,988
Is there really a
profound connection
694
00:37:32,162 --> 00:37:35,253
between the Nazca
Lines and crop circles,
695
00:37:35,427 --> 00:37:39,213
as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
696
00:37:39,344 --> 00:37:41,520
And might they contain messages
697
00:37:41,650 --> 00:37:43,565
that we have yet to decode?
698
00:37:43,739 --> 00:37:45,828
If so, what are they
699
00:37:46,002 --> 00:37:47,830
trying to tell us?
700
00:37:47,961 --> 00:37:51,007
Perhaps answers can be found
701
00:37:51,138 --> 00:37:54,620
by examining other
equally strange geoglyphs,
702
00:37:54,794 --> 00:37:56,796
recently discovered
703
00:37:56,926 --> 00:37:59,842
after nearly 2,000 years.
704
00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:10,244
2011, the Middle East.
705
00:38:10,375 --> 00:38:12,464
Satellite and aerial photography
706
00:38:12,594 --> 00:38:15,815
reveals high numbers of
mysterious stone wheels
707
00:38:15,989 --> 00:38:17,730
carved into the earth
708
00:38:17,904 --> 00:38:19,775
in Syria, Saudi Arabia,
709
00:38:19,906 --> 00:38:21,777
and Jordan.
710
00:38:21,908 --> 00:38:25,172
First discovered in 1927,
711
00:38:25,303 --> 00:38:27,174
these stone circles are believed
712
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:29,045
to number in the thousands,
713
00:38:29,219 --> 00:38:32,092
and date back more
than 2,000 years.
714
00:38:32,266 --> 00:38:35,225
Ranging in size from 80
715
00:38:35,356 --> 00:38:37,358
to more than 200 feet in width,
716
00:38:37,532 --> 00:38:40,056
ancient astronaut
theorists believe
717
00:38:40,230 --> 00:38:43,973
these designs fit
a global pattern.
718
00:38:44,147 --> 00:38:47,412
Thanks to Google Earth,
we now have a vehicle
719
00:38:47,586 --> 00:38:49,588
by which we can see
some of these glyphs.
720
00:38:49,718 --> 00:38:53,113
They're being called
Nazca-like phenomena.
721
00:38:55,028 --> 00:38:58,597
I think we are opening
the first page of a chapter
722
00:38:58,771 --> 00:39:00,860
that deals with glyphs
723
00:39:00,990 --> 00:39:03,645
and structures which can be seen
724
00:39:03,776 --> 00:39:05,778
from the air.
725
00:39:05,952 --> 00:39:08,433
It's not only at Nazca
that ancient man
726
00:39:08,607 --> 00:39:10,478
was trying to communicate
to the heavens,
727
00:39:10,609 --> 00:39:14,439
but around the world we are
finding new monuments and glyphs
728
00:39:14,613 --> 00:39:16,179
that raise the question:
729
00:39:16,354 --> 00:39:20,009
was there a connected
geodetic presence of sites
730
00:39:20,140 --> 00:39:23,448
that the extraterrestrials used
to navigate around our planet?
731
00:39:23,622 --> 00:39:26,494
What is the purpose
of the strange shapes
732
00:39:26,625 --> 00:39:28,888
and geoglyphs found at Nazca
733
00:39:29,062 --> 00:39:31,673
and all over the world?
734
00:39:31,847 --> 00:39:34,937
Were they used as
navigational markers,
735
00:39:35,068 --> 00:39:37,200
intended to guide
space travelers?
736
00:39:37,375 --> 00:39:39,464
Or might they contain
737
00:39:39,638 --> 00:39:42,380
a more profound
message for humanity?
738
00:39:42,554 --> 00:39:46,209
In 1972,
739
00:39:46,384 --> 00:39:49,474
cosmologist Carl Sagan stated
740
00:39:49,648 --> 00:39:51,911
that if an extraterrestrial
intelligence
741
00:39:52,085 --> 00:39:53,652
exists in the universe,
742
00:39:53,782 --> 00:39:58,352
the means of contact
would be mathematics.
743
00:39:58,526 --> 00:40:00,441
If you think about
this as communication,
744
00:40:00,572 --> 00:40:02,356
as Carl Sagan was
quoted as saying,
745
00:40:02,487 --> 00:40:06,316
it is certainly true that
this would be the way
746
00:40:06,447 --> 00:40:07,927
we'd probably have to start.
747
00:40:08,057 --> 00:40:10,364
A circle is a circle, and that's
748
00:40:10,495 --> 00:40:13,280
just a universal
feature of geometry.
749
00:40:13,454 --> 00:40:14,934
And it would be the same
750
00:40:15,064 --> 00:40:16,501
no matter where you
were in the universe.
751
00:40:16,675 --> 00:40:18,807
Is it possible
752
00:40:18,938 --> 00:40:22,332
that otherworldly beings have
been using basic mathematics
753
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:26,467
and geometry in an effort
to communicate with us?
754
00:40:26,598 --> 00:40:29,557
And might the proof of this
be found in the many geoglyphs
755
00:40:29,688 --> 00:40:33,300
at Nazca and
throughout the world?
756
00:40:33,431 --> 00:40:35,781
Could mankind
have been receiving
757
00:40:35,955 --> 00:40:38,566
extraterrestrial
messages for hundreds
758
00:40:38,697 --> 00:40:41,395
and even thousands of years?
759
00:40:41,569 --> 00:40:43,876
Messages that have gone unread
760
00:40:44,050 --> 00:40:47,227
and undeciphered
right before our eyes?
761
00:40:49,011 --> 00:40:51,187
What we have in
the Nazca culture
762
00:40:51,318 --> 00:40:53,712
is something which
our ancestors knew
763
00:40:53,842 --> 00:40:56,541
that what they were making
was gonna have a lasting effect.
764
00:40:56,671 --> 00:41:00,196
Hundreds of years
afterwards, it is still there.
765
00:41:00,370 --> 00:41:03,461
And it might be
very ironic to realize
766
00:41:03,591 --> 00:41:06,420
that they were shouting
out for the deities,
767
00:41:06,594 --> 00:41:09,423
saying, "Please come
down and visit us."
768
00:41:09,554 --> 00:41:11,425
And that 100 years later,
769
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:13,601
the Nazca Lines have
become the billboard
770
00:41:13,775 --> 00:41:15,429
for the ancient alien theory,
771
00:41:15,603 --> 00:41:19,128
whereby they really are
interpreted as, indeed,
772
00:41:19,302 --> 00:41:21,653
a landing place for the deities.
773
00:41:21,827 --> 00:41:25,570
And so we might find
that across time and space
774
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:29,269
and culture, really the core of
the message of the Nazca Lines
775
00:41:29,399 --> 00:41:31,619
is maintained, even though
776
00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:34,535
maybe slightly placed
in a different context.
777
00:41:34,709 --> 00:41:36,581
When you look at some
of the glyphs at Nazca,
778
00:41:36,755 --> 00:41:39,932
they would seem to
be just simple things.
779
00:41:40,062 --> 00:41:43,979
Animals and figures
and things like that.
780
00:41:44,153 --> 00:41:46,852
But then other of the figures
781
00:41:47,026 --> 00:41:49,811
and the lines seem to be
so incredibly complicated.
782
00:41:49,942 --> 00:41:52,379
Mathematical, and
they're-they're following
783
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:55,469
energy lines.
784
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,428
So there seems to be
a much deeper meaning
785
00:41:58,603 --> 00:42:00,779
in all of the figures
and the lines,
786
00:42:00,909 --> 00:42:03,521
and where they're going
and why they intersect.
787
00:42:03,651 --> 00:42:06,872
But we can't figure it out.
788
00:42:07,002 --> 00:42:09,265
Is it possible, as
ancient astronaut
789
00:42:09,396 --> 00:42:11,529
theorists suggest,
that the lines
790
00:42:11,703 --> 00:42:13,487
and geoglyphs of Nazca
791
00:42:13,618 --> 00:42:16,446
are part of a worldwide
communications network?
792
00:42:16,621 --> 00:42:19,449
Or might it be some form
793
00:42:19,580 --> 00:42:21,451
of alien communication intended
794
00:42:21,582 --> 00:42:24,324
not for us but for someone
795
00:42:24,454 --> 00:42:27,501
or something not of this world?
796
00:42:29,198 --> 00:42:31,070
Perhaps Nazca's
many strange shapes
797
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,333
and symbols serve as pieces
798
00:42:33,507 --> 00:42:36,858
to an elaborate
puzzle or an invitation
799
00:42:36,989 --> 00:42:39,861
for other alien
visitors to return.
800
00:42:39,992 --> 00:42:43,473
One thing is certain:
the Nazca Lines are,
801
00:42:43,648 --> 00:42:46,215
for me, proof that
extraterrestrials
802
00:42:46,389 --> 00:42:49,392
not only exist, but that
they have been coming here
803
00:42:49,523 --> 00:42:51,133
and influencing mankind's
804
00:42:51,264 --> 00:42:53,658
history for thousands of years.
805
00:42:53,788 --> 00:42:56,965
It's something I don't
just believe, I know.
806
00:42:57,096 --> 00:42:59,794
And I'm convinced we're
getting close to finding
807
00:42:59,925 --> 00:43:03,972
the ultimate evidence that not
even the skeptics can ignore.
