All connected.

By a single sound. We have this repeated story of these beings that said they

came from the stars and they introduced themselves always with the same

phonetics. You have Dogon. You have Dogu. You have Dagda.

What's the commonality here? Because we have not similar but identical stories.

Could a simple syllable reveal the identity of extraterrestrial visitors

thousands of years ago? There's across cultures a reference of some type of an

amphibious creature that they thought of as a god. And might they provide new

clues about mankind's very origin? All these cultures were visited by the same

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.

Mali, Africa, 1931.

French anthropologist Marcel Griul treks through the Forbidden Desert in search

of the mysterious Dogon tribe.

When he finds them, he becomes fascinated by their culture and

As Griul starts collecting Dogon legends, he notices an eerie similarity

of amphibious gods, in this case called nomos, who came from the sky, lived in

the sea, and helped mankind.

They describe these nomos as being very like mermaid or merman -like, but

bequeathing lots of knowledge of astronomy, math, and science to this

race. The Dogon would say that the nomo were these extraterrestrial gods.

But they needed a watery environment to live in, though they could come on land.

Griul learns that their arrival is known as the Day of the Fish.

The Dogon actually said, well, this was our creator god, Namo, who descended

from the sky in a loud whirlwind of a storm of thunder, smoke, and lightning.

But what struck Griul and shocked the world?

weren't the Dogon legends themselves, but where they said their amphibious

came from.

A star that no one on Earth knew existed until 1862, long after the

Dogon claimed they knew of its existence.

In the 1930s, when French anthropologists were first discussing

the Dogon priests, the Dogon priests said that the Nomo were coming from the

star system of Sirius.

Well, the French anthropologists were amazed at that and were confused as

According to the Dogon, their gods didn't come from Sirius A, a star that

clearly visible in the evening sky, but from its tiny companion, a dying star

called Sirius B, that can only be seen with advanced high -powered telescopes.

Sirius A is the brightest star in the sky.

because it is very luminous, and it is also fairly close to the Earth.

In astronomy, it is a known fact that there is a Sirius A and a Sirius B.

Sirius A can be seen, and Sirius B, for us, is invisible because it's just too

small.

Now, the Dogon knew about the invisible companion star to Sirius.

How did they know?

For thousands of years, Sirius A has played an outsized role in the

of Greeks, Persians, Hindus, Romans, Polynesians, and countless others.

The Egyptians even based their calendar on Sirius A.

And some believe they aligned the Giza pyramids to Orion's belt, which points

Sirius A.

Villages along the Nile.

And along the Euphrates, ancient Mesopotamia, they lined up their

village dwellings to mimic the constellation in which Sirius sat.

Sirius is one of the closest stars to us. It's 8 .6 light years away.

Unlike the sun, which has beautiful golden color, Sirius is a bluish -white

color, indicating it's much hotter than the surface of the sun.

And that corresponds to it being more massive than the sun and burning hotter.

It'll have a shorter lifespan.

But how could the Dogon have known about the existence of Sirius B?

Could they have at one time been in possession of advanced technology?

Or could there be another, even more profound explanation?

The Dogon had an amazing degree of knowledge about the Sirius system. They

that the orbits of the two stars were about 50 years, period, and that the

invisible star was very dense and past its prime.

They also knew that the brighter one was a larger star than the sun.

The Dogon also knew that Sirius B is about the size of Earth and spins on its

axis.

There is no logical explanation for why the Dogon tribe knew about the Sirius

star system naturally.

We didn't have telescopes in those days. How did they know this?

It's as if an ET came here and just told them all about that. It's an amazing

story.

One theory is maybe the aliens gave them this knowledge.

It can't be ruled out, that's one possibility, because they got it right

dot.

But if a race of amphibious nomo came from Sirius B and gave the Dogon such

gifts of knowledge, did they only visit this one desert tribe?

Or did they visit other peoples in other lands?

It would be one thing if there's only one legend of a fishman worldwide.

But the Namo is one story of dozens of amphibious

bringers of knowledge to our ancestors.

The ancient Hindus talk about this. The ancient Greeks. They all had these fish

people that, during the day, taught mankind. And then at night, they

Is the Namo from Sirius B?

visited numerous ancient cultures, is it possible that some physical evidence

survive?

Sierra Leone, Africa.

The early 1990s.

As civil war rages across the country, rebels begin forcing villagers to

mine so -called blood diamonds.

But from deep within the earth emerges a vast treasure they weren't expecting.

Mysterious figures ranging from 5 to 10 inches tall.

Often with reptilian or amphibian features.

They're very strange statues.

Some are clay, some are of granite or limestone.

They are humans and human figures with lizard heads.

There are hundreds of them.

Archaeologists date the statues, known as the nomoli, to around 500 years old,

when Europeans first came into contact with the people of Sierra Leone.

But researchers point out that the statues were found buried as much as 150

deep.

which would suggest that they are extremely ancient.

Normally, the deeper you go, the more ancient things are.

That indicates great antiquity.

We know that Angelo Petone was able to date the strata to 17

,000 years old.

We asked the chiefs, and they'll tell us they could be even older.

17 ,000 years old?

If true, it would make the nomaly statues among the oldest man -made

ever found and date them to 12 ,000 years before the first known

on Earth.

But for ancient astronaut theorists, even more interesting is a strange

similarity between tales of the nomaly and the stories of the Dogon tribe.

and their Nomo gods, 1 ,200 miles away in Mali.

A similarity that could reveal the identity of mankind's extraterrestrial

ancestors.

In the early 1990s, mysterious figurines were uncovered in Sierra Leone, Africa.

that were buried in a strand of the earth so deep it suggests that they

as much as 17 ,000 years old.

They are believed to represent gods called the nomoli that have been revered

the native people for centuries.

They are also similar to the stories of the Dogon tribe of Mali who although

located some 1 ,200 miles away worship gods called the nomo.

who descended to the earth in a whirlwind.

They were forced to come down here and live on earth.

Their eyes were so bright that you could not look into them because they shone

like the sun.

And their voices were so powerful that when they spoke in one village, you

hear them in the next village.

They're actually here on earth as guides helping humanity.

So this is a very interesting tale that we see across cultures where they

actually have some interaction with beings that come down from the sky and

them knowledge.

Like the nomo, the nomally gods are depicted as having amphibious traits and

often shown entwined with crocodiles.

The Nomo and the Nomoli. Could it be that the creatures that came to Earth

hundreds of thousands of years ago were somehow aquatic creatures?

It's very conceivable that ET races that came here many, many, many years ago

looked like maybe an alligator standing upright.

Who knows?

It's very conceivable that's what they thought.

Could the Nomoli and the Nomo?

represent the same extraterrestrial visitors?

And could those visitors have come from Sirius B?

Words are thought of as thought fossils.

They are a record into themselves.

And when we begin to compare words, we find some very interesting things.

In Sierra Leone, we learn of statues called nomoli.

Then we flip over to the Dogon, and we find that they worshipped a god called

Noma. Is there a linkage between these two cultures that are supposed to be

entirely separate?

Linguists would argue that there is.

Perhaps the most enticing clue as to the nomoli's true origins was discovered in

the early 1990s, when one of the mysterious nomoli figurines was found to

contain a chromium sphere.

Inside of it, they found a sphere made of chromium.

The fascinating thing about this is that chromium was not isolated by us until

1797.

But how is it possible that this sphere was placed inside a statue made 17 ,000

years before scientists isolated chromium?

There are two schools of thought.

One would be that there were ancient civilizations which were far advanced in

that area, which have been...

absorbed back into the jungle.

And the second one is that there was an influence from some extraterrestrial

beings that came from the sky.

This is absolutely inexplicable. In present paleontology, you have to assume

that there was contact with an advanced technology.

But if this chromium sphere was produced by extraterrestrial visitors to Earth,

what was the purpose of placing it?

inside a nomally statue?

Some believe the answer may lie in a further examination of Sirius B.

We have to wonder if this isn't some type of representation of Sirius B.

The Sirius system is always thought of as one of the best possible places where

we would find intelligent life.

Could Sirius B be one of the home places of...

gods that came from that star system and brought ancient knowledge.

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a sacred syllable that ties

Dogon to a civilization thousands of miles away.

Paris, France.

Ancient astronaut theorists believe that housed in the Louvre, is an unlikely

clue to the mystery of the Dogon tribe of Mali.

It's a carved stone made of basalt with a depiction of the Babylonian king

Hammurabi speaking with a divine being.

Below them, carved in cuneiform, is perhaps the most significant legal text

the ancient world, the Code of Hammurabi.

King Hammurabi ruled ancient Babylon in the 18th century BC, and he devised the

world's first known set of laws. For example, this is where we get the idea

an eye for an eye.

But what's fascinating to me is that according to King Hammurabi himself,

was dictated to him by a being that came from the sky.

In my mind, King Hammurabi was documenting exactly what happened. He

advised, by an extraterrestrial.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that not only were the Babylonian gods

extraterrestrial who instructed King Hammurabi, but that one of them provides

intriguing connection to the Dogon of Africa and their amphibious visitors

Sirius B.

That god, the chief god of the Babylonians, was called Dagon.

They have a god named Dagon, and it too is an amphibious

human god.

The Babylonian god Dagon sounds eerily similar to the Dogon tribe, who claim

they were visited by beings from Sirius B.

Is that because the Dogon named themselves after the same god?

The ancient Babylonians...

had a god, half human, half fish, called Dagon.

Is there a relationship between the Dogon and Dagon and the deity of the

Babylonians that brought civilization to Earth?

Absolutely there could be a relationship.

The Babylonians worshipped Dagon in a temple called Imol, or the House of the

Star.

Could this be Sirius B?

Did inhabitants of this distant star, visit both the Dogon in Africa and the

Babylonians in the Middle East, and leave their name, perhaps Dag or Dog,

embedded in both places.

What if, when the extraterrestrials visited, our ancestors listened to their

language, words with Dog, Dog, something, that was the most prevalent

that they just heard?

So the idea that we have these cultures where the root word is the same

indicates to me all these ancient cultures were visited by the same

According to ancient astronaut theory, the extraterrestrials implanted evidence

of their visitation within the traditions of the cultures they

And further proof of this can be found by examining another early civilization.

on the opposite side of the planet.

The Imperial Palace, Tokyo, Japan.

New Year's Day, 2019.

Citing age and ill health, Emperor Akihito abdicates before a crowd of more

90 ,000 well -wishers and family members, including his eldest son, crown

naruhito four months later naruhito succeeds his father and ascends to

the chrysanthemum throne carrying on a tradition of the oldest royal family on

earth stretching back over 2500 years to 660 bc

according to legend the japanese imperial family is descended from divine

amphibious beings who like the babylonian god dagon and the Dogon gods

came from the sky and lived in the sea.

The Japanese name for these beings is Doragoan. In English, we call them

dragons.

Emperor Jinmu, who was the founder of the Japanese imperial line, was

supposedly a descendant of the Dragon King. And the Dragon King lived in an

underwater palace that was...

massive and very prosperous, and through successive marriages, eventually

his descendants became rulers of Japan.

Early myths indicated that the dragon was also an amphibious water -type

animal, also in some ways a half -man, half -amphibious type.

He later morphed into a flying serpent, as we know.

The Japanese language is unique to Japan and also isn't connected to any other

language, not even other Asian languages such as Korean and Chinese.

Yet the Japanese word for this creature is strikingly similar to words embedded

in languages all over the world.

Dora Goen in Japanese.

Dragon.

So once again we have that similar word.

Dogon. Dagon.

Dragon.

So perhaps all of these words are indicating these half -human, half

extraterrestrials.

Do these linguistic similarities suggest that the Japanese were visited by the

same beings from Sirius B that were encountered by the Dogon in Mali, the

of Sierra Leone, and the Babylonians?

Ancient astronaut theorist, Fayette.

and also suggests that actual physical evidence of the connection exists in the

form of strange figurines found buried all over Japan.

Tokyo National Museum, Japan.

The country's oldest national museum is home to a collection of mysterious clay

statues that date as far back as 10 ,000 years.

More than 18 ,000 of these figurines have been found throughout the Japanese

islands. And again, their name is eerily familiar.

They are called the Dogu.

The Dogu are small clay figurines that are usually about 15 to 30 centimeters

in height. And they date from one of the earliest periods of Japanese history,

from about 14 ,000 BCE to 1 ,000 BCE.

Much like the similarly sized nomoli figurines in Sierra Leone, more than 8

miles away, the dogu were also found buried deep in the earth.

When one buries something, one is expressing reverence for it. So if you

something that's buried with a lot of care and ritual preparation, it means it

could be some kind of sacred item.

But perhaps the strangest thing about the dogu...

is what they're wearing.

So here we have a replica of a Dogu statue, which is life -size.

You have patterns that are represented here that look almost technological in

nature. And if we focus on goggle features of the Dogu statues that have

many people to speculate that this, in fact, might be some kind of helmet

part of a spacesuit.

You really have to wonder what's going on here, because in the case of the

Dogu... If you look at this from a modern -day perspective, in my opinion,

are people in some type of spaces.

For ancient astronaut theorists, even more intriguing in the appearance of

figurines is their name, Dogu.

Once again, echoing divine names found across multiple cultures.

Here we are talking about a civilization on the island of Japan that is entirely

separate, far across the ocean, a vast distance from Africa and Egypt and

Mesopotamia, yet they worship a deity with the very same name phonetically.

Is it the same being?

Common sense tell us. We have to at least consider that as a possibility.

If uncanny cultural and linguistic similarities found in different parts of

world are the result of extraterrestrial visitation, wouldn't there be physical

evidence as well?

Some alien artifact left behind that could prove our ancestors had contact

beings from another world?

According to ancient astronaut theorists, there is.

From the mysterious statues of Sierra Leone, to the Dogon tribe of Mali,

and the Babylonian worship of Dagon, to the Japanese stories of dragons,

and the curious Dogu figures.

According to ancient astronaut theorists, there are eerie similarities

ancient cultures that indicate they were all visited by the same

extraterrestrial beings.

From Sirius B.

If there were beings from the Sirius star system, they may have come

for a short period of time. They may have been harvesting metals.

They may have been harvesting genetic material. And then they go.

But is there any physical evidence?

For some, the presence of a chromium sphere inside a statue estimated to be

,000 years old and ancient figurines that appear to depict spacesuits are

enough.

But could there also be actual artifacts from another world?

Among the people of Sierra Leone, local legend has it that when their nomally

gods fell from heaven, part of the sky turned to stone.

and rained down with them.

These strange blue stones called sky stones have been found with the statues.

And at first, archaeologists thought, okay, it's just blue stones.

But when they analyzed it, and they couldn't figure out how these had been

too, although the people in Sierra Leone felt that they were actually pieces of

the blue sky that fell with the anomaly.

If these mysterious blue stones are really connected to the legend of the

turning to stone and raining down on the Earth with the arrival of the anomaly,

what could they be?

Some type of protective covering for an alien spacecraft?

Pieces of a heat shield, perhaps?

Like the tiles that covered the bottom of the space shuttle?

And if so, might further scientific examination of them support the idea?

that the nomoli were actually extraterrestrial visitors, perhaps from

star system.

Seattle, Washington, March 6, 2019.

In search of further evidence that the nomoli statues may have an

extraterrestrial connection, ancient astronaut theorist David Childress has

arranged to meet up with Skystone collector and researcher Jared Collins.

Jared has in his possession a number of the mysterious blue stones that were

found near the statues.

Jared has been collecting Sky Stones since he first heard about them in 2013.

He became fascinated by their enigmatic nature, betraying neither obvious

mineral nor man -made origin.

So how was it that these stones were actually discovered in modern times?

This was actually discovered in 1991 by a man named David Ledbetter.

He was in Sierra Leone on a mining concession looking for gold and

And when he was having his crew dig, occasionally these stones would appear.

And interestingly, David went to the village chief to ask if he'd ever seen

of these stones before.

And the chief said that when these stones are found, large amounts of gold

diamonds usually follow shortly thereafter.

What do other geologists say about stones like this? Are they able to

them? We've sent these now to 12 different labs. There is not one piece

consensus in here.

Everybody has a different opinion. We still don't know, actually, if these are

natural or man -made. So maybe it's from another planet.

I don't know. I really wish I did, and I would love a chance to actually be able

to get this in front of somebody else who could look at it again.

I've got some friends at the University of Washington, and I think we can set

this up and have another test done. That would be fantastic.

I would love to get some consensus on this to understand what this actually

While tests conducted on the stones found with anomaly statues have so far

produced conflicting and sometimes even confounding results,

David is eager to have them tested for himself.

At the University of Washington, David and Jared meet with renowned geologist,

Professor Peter Ward.

Hi, I'm David Childress. I talked to you on the phone.

It's good to meet you. And this is Jared Collins.

Thank you so much for seeing us today. Jared, both you guys, welcome to the

University of Washington ISO Lab.

So what do we have in this beautiful box?

Well, we're sort of hoping that you can tell us.

Well, well, well.

What are these beauties?

We have been through many tests on these, and no one can identify them.

color, if this is ancient or modern. So they've been checked for...

the common blue minerals I take in. One thing that we know for sure is that this

is not turquoise, this is not lapis, this is not aronite. The fact that it's

unbelievably light really suggests that there's an organic component to it.

Anything that goes blue generally is much heavier. So this is really a

very specific village. It has never been found anywhere else in the world.

Possibly from a different world.

evidence of an extraterrestrial event that occurred on Earth centuries ago.

Sedona, Arizona, March 2019.

Two weeks after bringing the so -called Sky Stones, found in Sierra Leone, to

the University of Washington for examination.

David Childress received an email from geologist Dr.

Peter Ward.

In the email, Dr.

Ward wrote that the results were so strange they ran the test three times,

thinking it was a machine error, and added, this gives me the creeps.

To learn more, Childress contacted Dr.

Ward through video chat.

Hi, Dr. Ward.

So I wanted to learn about the results.

Yeah, it was pretty cool.

I mean, it was much stranger than we thought. There really seems to be some

of organic aspect to this.

It's got element nitrogen in it in really high concentrations.

Having this high amount of nitrogen puts it into a, wow, that's a very peculiar

rock category.

We were looking for a possible extraterrestrial origin.

Is it possibly a meteorite or even part of a spaceship that exploded?

Let's just say that there's a possibility that it came from off the

As we scientists say, it's worth more studies.

Thanks again for doing these tests and letting us use your lab.

No problem. See you later.

Although the Sky Stones are still a mystery, David and Jared have confirmed

they are unlike any other stone ever examined.

Could they have arrived on Earth with the strange beings that are depicted in

the nomally statues?

Is this perhaps physical evidence that linguistic similarities found across the

globe, Dogon, Dagon, Dragon, Dogu, point to some

sort of extraterrestrial intervention?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and they claim that in yet another earthly

location may be found the most significant evidence of all, a possible

home base.

County Meath, Ireland.

Here, in the Boyne River Valley, a large circular mound rises out of the earth.

The Newgrange Passage Tomb, built around 3200 BC.

It was constructed with over 200 ,000 tons of stone quarried 75 miles away

and contains one passageway that leads to a centralized chamber.

New Grange is one of the most important sites in all of Europe.

It was possibly a stone circle with 36 or 37 stones.

Only 12 of these still remain.

And after that, a huge mound made of stone and earth was built within the

circle itself.

Within this, we have a huge chamber, which is a cruciform shape or a cross.

It's got some beautiful carvings on the 97 kerbstones that go around the edge,

as well as on the main entrance stone and within the chamber itself.

Mainly zigzags and spirals, and most notably a triple spiral at the back of

main chamber within the actual site itself.

Newgrange was designed to honor the winter solstice, but according to a book

published in 2012, called the Newgrange Sirius Mystery.

The entire mount was also built to align with the star Sirius A in the night

sky. The declination of Sirius is the same as the winter solstice sunrise

across the sky.

And through the light box, which is a rectangular area above the main

this is where you witness not only the sunlight coming through, Also later in

the day, Sirius light coming through as well.

The Dogon of Mali in West Africa claimed that their gods came to Earth from the

star Sirius B.

Ancient astronaut theorists connect these visitors to gods with similar

all over the world.

But they also point out... an intriguing connection to Newgrange in Ireland.

In addition to being in line with the star Sirius, legend says that this

megalith was built by a Celtic god with a name that sounds by now eerily

familiar.

The god Dagda.

The main god that's associated with Newgrange is called Dagda. So here, once

again, we have this same word.

that appears to mean something about gods coming from Syria.

The dwellers of the British Isles worshipped a god named Dag Dah.

That cannot be by coincidence.

The god known as Dag Dah was said to be the leader of a group of otherworldly

beings called the Tuatha de Danann.

So the Tuatha de Danann were this renowned fairy race that arrived

in Ireland many thousands of years ago.

The supreme deity of Tuatha Dé Danann was Dagda, Dagda Maw, and he was

a renowned god.

He was said to have built and lived inside Newgrange.

They had very advanced weaponry and different types of what sounds like

machinery, but also they taught the high arts of civilization, and they were

said to be almost like the shining ones of the biblical tradition.

It's almost like a science fiction movie when you start looking at these ancient

Irish myths.

Could Newgrange have once been an alien outpost on Earth?

Was Dagda the supreme leader of a race of highly advanced extraterrestrials

came to Earth and left a lasting influence on our ancestors?

Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the Dark Star.

Across the world, ancient people claim they were visited by amphibious beings

from Sirius, who gave the gift of knowledge and technology.

The Dogon of Mali, Dagon of the Babylonian, the Dogu of Japan,

Dagda of Ireland, and the Dragon, whose name echoes in languages all over the

world.

So you have to wonder, Is it possible that all the root words come from the

visitors?

And my answer to that is a resounding yes.

But what about the English language?

Is there any connection in English between the ancient syllable dog or dag

the star Sirius?

Experts say the answer is hiding in plain sight.

Sirius is the dog star.

Tonight, when you go outside, look for the three stars that make up Orion.

And Orion's belt has an arrow that points right to Sirius. So you can see

Sirius, the dog star, tonight.

And in fact, today, the reason we talk about the dog days of summer is that

those are the days that Sirius is overhead.

It's very interesting that these beings said they came from Sirius, which we

call the dog star.

Because when etymologists try to trace the origins of the English word dog,

non -attributable. They can't find the origin of that word.

The word dog is one of the strangest in the English language because no one

knows where it came from.

English is mostly derived from German, Latin, and French.

The German word for dog is Hund, the Latin word.

is canis, and the French word is chien.

So where do we get dog?

Is it possible that some being from the dog star, from this system, gave that

type of vocabulary of Dagon, Dogon, Dagu, and all these similarities are

speaking of one race that visited ancient man?

And I think in this particular case, whatever came down here at the time,

group of extraterrestrials came down here at the time? They were referred to

this, and then other civilizations just carried it and picked up on them.

We have to at least ask the question, is this in fact the name of these God

beings? I believe it is.

Is it possible that ancient statues unearthed in West Africa represent the

opening chapter in the story of humankind?

Do they depict advanced beings that travel to our planet from the Sirius

system to create the first humans and ignite civilization on Earth?

And did these extraterrestrials leave behind evidence of their visitation for

future generations to find?

Perhaps these clues point not only to their home planet, but to where we must

travel in order to reunite with our alien...

and centric.
