The mass destruction of an ancient culture.

Their art, their philosophy, their scientific findings, he burned the whole

thing. Lost texts that could have offered evidence of extraterrestrial

from across the globe.

Literally, people were coming from all over the world to Mexico at this time.

Here we are in the middle of South America in a remote site that looks

like Hindu carvings. How is that possible?

It's amazing.

Could the Vatican still be hiding proof of mankind's ancient alien origins?

I predict thousands as of yet undiscovered sites will finally

show that our ancestors made contact with extraterrestrials.

There is a doorway in the universe.

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

The Yucatan Peninsula, 1549.

A fleet of Spanish galleons arrive on the coast of the New World.

And with them is a small army of Roman Catholic priests, who during what is the

height of the Inquisition, are determined to rescue the pagan souls of

natives for Almighty God.

And leading them, direct from the Vatican, is the fanatical Franciscan

Diego de Landa.

During the Spanish colonial period in what we call Mexico, Yucatan, the cradle

of Mayan civilization, it was the priests who had a lot of power because

Vatican was one of the most powerful nations on the earth.

Diego de Landa came over wanting to teach Christian understandings and

principles to the Mayans, but was probably intimidated by the vast wealth

knowledge that he actually saw that they had tapped into.

The Mayan civilization that Friar Diego de Landa came upon had thrived in the

rain -drenched jungles and fertile plains of Central America for more than

,000 years.

The Spanish conquerors found pyramids, they found temples, they found paved

roads, and they found thousands and thousands of Maya handwriting, thousands

it.

We have a lot of very interesting information that comes out of this

call the Maya.

They've been revered for many things in their knowledge base, especially around

time and concepts of math and science and the movements of the solar system.

But while the Maya were in many ways culturally advanced, their religious

beliefs were notoriously bloodthirsty.

They believed in human sacrifice.

And as far as prior Diego de Landa was concerned, did so at the expense of

eternal souls.

It was a clash of cultures that would not end well for the Maya people.

Diego de Landa, later, when he was back in Spain again, he wrote down, we found

thousands of handwritings of the Indians, but they all contained just

things.

A new teaching, a new religion comes into a place where there is very strong

adherence to a body of ideas. We have a competitive situation.

One maneuver is to destroy as much evidence of the old way as you can, and

will help reduce its grip. It's not sacred anymore. This is just stuff, so

can burn it with impunity.

On July 12, 1562, the Catholic priest...

with the armed assistance of the Spanish military, executed what was known

during the Inquisition as an auto de fe, or act of faith, whereby the

Maya population was forced to declare their religious conversion to

or be put to death.

It was also a day that reportedly saw the destruction of all of the Maya

scrolls and more than 5 ,000 Christless images.

an entire historical record.

There were thousands of books called codices, probably scrolls, burned.

All their art, their philosophy, their scientific findings, the accumulative

knowledge of this great civilization, they burned the whole thing.

But by burning the vast knowledge accumulated by the Maya, did Friar Diego

Landa also destroy something of even greater historical value?

might have erased all traces of the Maya's extraterrestrial ancestors.

There's a very interesting information told to us by the Mayan elders that

exist today.

They speak of a time that they were led to this land by the sky people.

Could they be referencing some type of lost race, even possibly

in nature?

They seem to have knowledge of math and science, which we can't explain how they

got this information.

When you ask them, how did they gain all of this amazing information, they

always reference, we learned it from the sky people.

There are traditions in ancient Mexico of a great teacher arriving on the Gulf

Coast. And when he arrived, he brought with him the arts of civilization.

We know that the tradition may have originated with the great civilizations

were around long before the Maya, but no one knows who they really were or where

they really came from.

Tres Zapotes, Mexico, 1938.

Archaeologist Matthew Sterling, chief of the Smithsonian's Bureau of American

Ethnology, follows up on a report.

that had gone unexamined for more than 70 years.

The discovery by a local farmer of an ancient megalithic sculpture.

Sterling's investigation results in a remarkable find.

A giant stone head buried in the ground.

It was the first in what to date has become a total of 17 such heads.

Each weighing a staggering 8 tons.

and all estimated to be some 3 ,000 years old.

It is a date which suggests that the heads were carved not by the Maya, but

an even older civilization, the Olmecs.

The Olmecs, they're often called the mother culture of Mesoamerica. They are

first complex culture of any size and significance in that part of the world.

The Olmec people...

come into existence probably about 1400 BC in the Tabasco region

of what is today Mexico. Then very suddenly you have the rise

of a full -blown society and civilization.

And the question becomes, where did the Olmec come from?

The controversy is that many of the beautifully carved statues and stelae

to show African men.

They appear to be not native to the New World, but are in any of the sub

-Saharan Africa. This is not the scientific physical anthropology, but

appearance of these things is pretty suggestive.

And they also show Chinese, Vietnamese, possibly Polynesian, and even Caucasian

people carved into solid rock.

So there's a big mystery about the Olmecs.

Where are all these people coming from?

Early archaeologists were dumbfounded by all of these different racial

characteristics that were seen in the Olmec figurines and statues.

Literally, people were coming from all over the world to Mexico at this time.

And how did they do that?

Do the Olmec heads and artifacts present evidence that this ancient civilization

had its genetic origins?

Not in South America, as many mainstream archaeologists believe, but thousands

of miles away and on the other side of the Earth.

But how?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the answer may be found after a careful

examination of a number of extraordinary Olmec artifacts found in La Venta,

Mexico.

In La Venta, we have carvings.

that show the Olmecs in very bizarre scenes.

One of them is this plumed serpent, this snake that appears to be floating in

the sky.

And then down below, you actually see a person sitting inside this flying snake.

And so you have to wonder if somehow the Olmecs had access to aviation

technology. And I personally think they did.

Because at the Museum of Natural History in New York City, there is a Olmec

figurine. He is clearly wearing some type of a pressurized suit. He has some

type of controls with tubes on his chest.

On the side, you have six wings coming out of him.

In my opinion, it is the smoking gun of our ancestors having access to aviation

technology thousands of years ago.

Is it possible that the ancestors of the Olmec people had come to South America

from far across the ocean?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe the way they got there may not

have been in ships, but across the skies.

In extraterrestrially designed, spacecraft.

San Agustin, Colombia.

March 27, 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist David Childress has come to this remote

to explore and study a site that has baffled the scientific community for

decades.

Joining him is Hindu historian Praveen Mohan.

Hello, Praveen. Hi, David.

Welcome to Colombia.

Jumping in here?

Sure.

You know, Praveen, I was here a number of years ago, and I thought, all right,

there's a lot of Hindu influence here.

And so that's when I thought I'd need some expert on Hinduism, like you, to

here to St. Augustine and see for themselves.

Yeah, when I got the call about a place like this in Colombia, I was surprised.

A Hindu site in South America?

My heart is actually pounding to see the site.

Located deep within the Andean foothills of southern Colombia, the San Agustin

Archaeological Park is home to more than 500 megalithic stone statues of unknown

origin.

First discovered by a Spanish monk in the mid -18th century, they appear to be

the work of the region's earliest civilizations and are thought to date

many as 2 ,000 years.

So this is the main gate here.

We've got a bit of a walk through the jungle.

And this is a very remote spot, even today.

So high in the mountains. And you wonder how people got to this site and why

they would have even chosen this.

Here it is.

Check it out. Yeah, let's see.

David Childress has been researching this area for many years.

He is convinced that many of the statues show strong connections to the Olmec

statues that were first discovered in Mexico, more than 1 ,600 miles to the

north. in the 1800s.

We know that the Olmecs were in Mexico and also in Central America, but

of the Olmecs in South America has been elusive until now.

Here at San Agustin, we have that evidence.

This would be one of the earliest Olmec sites because it's thought that San

Agustin started as early as 3000 BC.

And other Olmec sites in Mexico are only dated to around 1000 BC.

So this is an extremely important site.

What I really want to show you is what I think is Hindu things, which are right

over here.

Okay. Wow.

It is David Childress' belief that the stone sculptures of the San Agustin

Archaeological Park not only show strong similarities to the Olmec carvings

found in Mexico,

but also show even more profound connections to Hindu carvings and

in India and Southeast Asia. I think you'll be interested in this.

Oh, a figure holding a skull flanked by two other figures? That is so Hindu.

And these two doorkeepers, see how they're holding weapons to protect the

deity?

We can see a central deity holding a skull.

And two guardian doorkeepers holding tools.

This is typical South Indian architecture.

This is exactly what's portrayed in these temples.

This is amazing because I've never seen anything like this in

South America.

What's really interesting to me is that the main deity is shown with fangs.

That's typical of South India. In Tamil Nadu, Shiva is shown with fangs.

You think that's maybe Shiva right there in the middle?

Yeah.

Shiva, also known as the destroyer?

Is it possible that evidence of this uniquely Hindu deity has been found in

South America?

and on ancient megalithic stone carvings dating back some 2 ,000 years.

So how about these right here?

Wow, yeah, these are lingams. These are symbols of Shiva. And we can see these

lingams have more and more details on them.

And look, here it even has a face.

Yeah, how about that? You see this?

It's a classic muka lingam.

It is a lingam with a face on top.

A mukha lingam. Yeah, the word mukha means face, and the lingam means a

cylindrical structure.

And this is classic Hindu iconography, and you can see this in many ancient

temples.

So here, have a look at this one here. I think you'll find this pretty

interesting. Wow.

An eagle holding a snake in its beak.

And then it's also holding the snake on its talons. I mean, this is classic

Hindu iconography. This is Garuda holding the nuggets.

So Garuda is always depicted as a giant bird, and then typically he's holding a

snake in his beak and his talon. I've seen something very similar to this in

Vietnam in a place called Champa. I can show you a picture of this.

So the snake that he's holding in his beak and talons is a Naga snake, is that

right? Yes.

In Hindu texts, we don't see the Garuda as an animal or the snake as an animal.

There are two different races. One is the Garuda, which actually comes from a

planet up above the sky.

The Nagas are reptilian, snake -like, shape -shifting beings which live

underground.

Now that's an interesting story because that's on the flag of Mexico today.

Oh, really?

Yeah, how about that? Wow.

So the Garuda is in some ways a symbol of the airships, the spaceships, and the

flight that they would use.

Here we are in the middle of South America in a remote site that looks

like Hindu carvings. I mean, without any connection, how is that possible?

What do you think, then, that these Hindu demigods are flying in spaceships,

even scouting, they're creating a place like this? It's all so strange, but it's

so obvious that some kind of high technical civilization was here.

Yes.

It's amazing.

Ancient Hindus traveling across the Pacific Ocean in flying aircraft?

But even if such an incredible feat was possible, where is the evidence?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the evidence not only

exists, but has been tested.

And it confirms the likelihood that extraterrestrial visitors came here to

thousands of years ago.

At the San Agustin Archaeological Park in Columbia, South America, ancient

astronaut theorist David Childress and Hindu expert Praveen Mohan are

investigating what they believe to be conclusive evidence that Hindu explorers

migrated to this area more than 2 ,000 years ago.

So here, have a look at this dome in here.

What is it?

Wow, there's a central deity.

flanked by two doorkeepers, but these doorkeepers are not human or even

humanoid.

You can see the scales on the body, you know, you see the lines. And what's even

more interesting, I mean, it seems almost like they have a hood on top of

which is characteristic of cobras, and cobras don't exist in America.

How did this motive get here?

And believe it or not...

We still have the same depiction in many Southeast Asian countries. In fact, I

have pictures of it.

Right. Yeah, this is the temple. This is in Thailand.

You can see that this is being guarded by two Nagas. I see that, and they have

the ribs on the stomach just like this. Yeah, the scales on the body. Yeah,

that's fascinating.

And, you know, there's yet another characteristic feature that you would

love.

These are feathered serpents like Kukulkan. The feathered serpent of

And flanking on the pyramid.

Kukulkan, the Mayan god that is most famously depicted on the temple of El

Castillo in Chichen Itza, the one described as a feathered serpent that

descended to Earth from the sky.

But as far as many ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, depictions of

god Kukulkan are not merely depictions of a flying serpent, as many mainstream

archaeologists believe, but of a spaceman.

And they cite the presence of a humanoid face, often seen emerging from the

mouth of the serpent, as really a depiction of a helmeted astronaut

large flying spacecraft, similar to what is known as a Vimana in the Hindu

tradition.

can see very advanced flying machines, which are called Vimanas.

It is clearly established that the gods come down from the sky using Vimanas.

It is also talked about in Mayan culture.

There are several types of Vimanas that you yourself have published.

And there is a type of Vimana which has...

Tailpins, correct?

Yeah, the Shakuna Vimana has wings.

Yeah. While other Vimanas were discoid, and other Vimanas were like tubular

cigar -shaped chip.

And what's really fascinating is that in the gold museum in Bogota, we have the

same Vimanas made of gold, correct?

We have the gold airplanes there.

In the early 1900s, Tomb robbers came upon a gravesite along Columbia's

Magdalena River, dating back an estimated 1 ,500 years.

Inside, they discovered hundreds of small gold figurines.

Hundreds of these small gold objects have been found, many of which are

in the animal kingdom.

Seventeen eerily look like modern -day airplanes.

The wings are attached at the bottom.

Birds, they have their wings attached where we have our shoulders, like this.

So no formation in the animal kingdom exists in the form of these quimbaya

artifacts.

And in 1996, two engineers took a couple of these ancient

artifacts, blew them up to this size, put a propeller inside, threw it up in

air, and it flew.

Is it possible that among the Kimbaya figurines found in Colombia are

representations of what the Hindu people on the other side of the world

described as the Manas?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest the answer can be found by examining a

character from the ancient Hindu texts. A character who bears the name Maya.

The word Maya itself is a Hindu word. It means...

illusion or god of illusion and this was the name given to the king of asuras

and he is known as maya because he is able to create these magical illusions

maya he was born of divine god brahma he was

a great architect he was a great magician and he invented the flying

He was not of the earth because he was not born on earth.

So he was obviously extraterrestrial.

Maya actually traveled out of India and he might have gone to Mexico. Now,

interestingly, Mayans have a book called Popol Vuh.

In that book, they talk about how a specific god came.

from the East.

And I think this is the same God that both these cultures are talking about.

If the divine King Maya was a real being, as millions of Hindus believe, is

possible that the Mayan civilization of Central America adopted his name?

According to ancient astronaut theorist David Childress, the answer is a

resounding yes.

And he believes that at San Agustin, there is a sculpture that doesn't only

support his theory, but may also be a depiction of an actual alien visitor.

Would you like to see, perhaps, a space map? A space map?

Yes, one more time. Absolutely.

San

Agustin

Archaeological Park in Colombia.

is located along the west bank of the Magdalena River, near a place where it

converges with two other rivers.

It is a location that ancient astronaut theorists believe has a startling and

not accidental significance.

They could have set up this site anywhere, but why did they choose San

in Colombia?

In India, we have this place called Trivini Sangamon, where three great

meet, and that... site is chosen as a sacred site. We have a lot of temples in

this place.

Whoever came from India to here chose this place because

this is where all these three rivers meet.

And to find a place like this, you needed to have aerial surveys.

They were using the Vimanas, which is why they set up this ancient Shiva

here.

Vimanas, the extraterrestrial flying machines that are described in the

Mahabharata, the ancient Hindu text?

Is it possible that Hindu explorers made the journey from India to South America

and then settled in this region centuries ago?

And could they have made that journey a distance of some 12 ,000 miles by means

of a Vimana?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and they believe that the answer to what

compelled them to come there can be found by examining one of the ancient

statues located in San Agustin Archaeological Park.

This was the final statue that I wanted you to look at.

Pretty curious, huh?

Yeah. I don't know what to call this except a spaceman.

You can see that he's wearing...

some kind of a helmet.

It looks like he has a visor. He's got two rectangular eyes and a rectangular

mouth. He has no nose. He's holding this, what they call a power staff.

But what's really fascinating about that is he's holding that long cylinder.

And if you look carefully, it's going even below his feet.

He's using that cylinder.

to go into the ground. Now this is very interesting because in Hindu culture

there's a god called Swarnakala Bhairava and he's the god of gold and he uses a

tool called keela and he uses it to go into the ground and mine gold.

It could be a special probe that you can put in the ground and detect.

Gold and minerals. So perhaps he is the extraterrestrial that is guiding them.

He's a spaceman in a spacesuit with his gold mining tools.

A spaceman mining gold?

In 1976, author and researcher Zechariah Sitchin published a book called The

Twelfth Planet.

in which he translated and interpreted the writings of humanity's earliest

civilization, the Sumerians.

According to Sitchin, the beings described in the text, the Anunnaki,

fact visitors from another planet.

They created humankind as slaves that could be forced to mine the gold the

Anunnaki needed to power their spacecraft.

San Agustin is still a remote mountain area today.

And coming here in ancient times would have been extremely difficult. But this

was a gold -bearing area.

And if you're looking for gold, this is the place to come.

Is it possible that the strange carvings found in the area can be proof that

Sitchin's incredible theory is true?

and that an ancient race of people traveled from Asia to South America in

pursuit of a metal they'd been taught to consider not just essential, but

sacred.

When you talk about how this place was used for gold, you know, how they were

mining gold as offerings to gods, that's exactly what Hindus do, even today. And

Colombia, right here.

In this remote spot is land of gold. So much of the gold in South America came

from right here.

So this is what they were looking for, gold.

And they came here and they found it. They're flying here. They're creating a

place like this. They're also sending ships across the Pacific Ocean.

They're bringing power tools.

And when they're not mining, they're creating these amazing statues. And

are hundreds of them all over here.

Your theory about people and Mayas moving from South India and coming here

the way to South America, this is all tying together. We have an

extraterrestrial god who comes down and he mines for gold and he built an entire

civilization. I think that makes a lot of sense.

When it comes to San Agustin, the Spanish did not know about this ancient

And if they had known about it, they probably would have destroyed it.

So throughout Colombia and Mesoamerica, we have ruins of ancient civilizations

still undiscovered. And with the discoveries of San Agustin in the last

years, we now have a chance to rewrite South American history.

Do the stone statues at San Augustine provide compelling evidence not only

there was interaction between the peoples of Asia and those of South

centuries ago, but also that this interaction was made possible as the

extraterrestrial intervention?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and they suggest further proof can be found

locked away in the secret vaults of the Vatican Library.

Southeast Asia, 2000 B .C.

An ethnically diverse civilization of seafaring explorers emerges in the area

modern -day Vietnam.

At roughly the same time, the Olmec appear in Mesoamerica.

The Cham were an Austronesian and are an Austronesian speaking group in central

Vietnam. Austronesian languages include Polynesian, Indonesian, and so forth.

and they are closely associated with highly maritime people.

The word Cam represents a race that extended from Egypt to India to

Asia. The ancient Cam were Hindu.

I believe if there was a Cam migration to South and Central America, this was

ultimately a partnership between advanced human civilizations and

extraterrestrials. That's why you see all of the diversity in these artifacts.

and these giant structures that defy logic.

If the giant Olmec heads and artifacts found in Mexico resemble a community

up of multiple ethnicities, ethnicities that were not previously believed to

have been present in Central or South America until the 15th century, then is

possible that these people were among a wave of migrants who traveled to South

America from various parts of southern and southeast Asia thousands of years

ago.

It has occurred to me that the CHOM might conceivably have been involved as

sort of middle persons in maritime transactions between southeast Asia and

New World, particularly perhaps northwestern South America.

Modern DNA mapping, what we call a molecular DNA study, has been

the understanding of human migrations over the globe.

What this is very clearly stating again and again is there was a relationship

between the peoples of southern India, places like Sri Lanka,

Southeast Asia, Australia, Micronesia, Melanesia.

through Polynesia, particularly into South America, Mesoamerica.

But if hundreds, perhaps thousands of people migrated from Southern and

Southeast Asia to South America, how did they get there?

Was it by sailing ship?

Or was it by means of an alien -inspired aircraft known as Vimana, as many

ancient astronaut theorists believe?

We hear this story time and time again in Mahabharata.

Some Vimanas have these huge wings and they have like a tail fin, like a modern

-day aircraft.

Almost all these machines were mentioned 5 ,000 years ago in Mahabharata.

But if mass migration on a large scale had been taking place centuries ago, and

with the help of extraterrestrial technology,

then why has no evidence been found to support this incredible theory?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer dates back to

the bloody persecutions of the Maya by the Spanish in the 16th century and the

deliberate destruction of hundreds of years of the Maya's written history by

friar Diego de Landa, a destruction that many ancient astronaut theorists

suggest was not as thorough as we were made to believe.

The Catholic Church was trying to destroy the old religion, and they made

show of having huge bonfires of books and destroying them.

But at the same time, the Catholic Church was trying to accumulate

It would also not surprise me if Diego de Landa did not burn everything.

And maybe some of these...

Texts did make it back to the Vatican.

People often say, oh, the Vatican just destroys stuff.

Actually, they don't on the whole.

What they do is they hide it.

What kind of other organization in the world is known to have an archive that's

actually called the secret archive?

It's quite possible that while on the surface the Catholic Church was trying

destroy everything,

This knowledge that they're gathering in North and South America can benefit the

Catholic Church in the future, and that's what they thought.

It might moulder away, but at least they have control of it.

That's the important thing.

The Vatican is always about control.

Knowledge is power.

The Vatican has always known this. The Vatican has always known secrets.

It doesn't want the average person to know.

Did the Catholic Church appear to destroy the Maya histories and sacred

only to have hidden them away in the Vatican's notorious secret archive?

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is yes.

And the Church's motives may not have been to simply steal valuable ancient

knowledge, but something far more profound.

They believed the real reason was to hide the proof that the origins of the

civilization

and those that existed thousands of years earlier couldn't only be traced to

other continents, but to other planets.

Giant megalithic stone heads, figurines of what appear to be flying craft,

and statues that evoke cultures found on the other side of the world.

According to ancient astronaut theorists, it is this information that

Catholic Church sought to suppress when they attempted to destroy all traces of

the Maya culture nearly 500 years ago.

Now what's interesting is all these great ancient cultures, including the

seem to have knowledge of math and science, which we can't explain how they

this information.

When you ask them, they always tell you it came from the gods.

If the proof existed, not only of cross -Pacific migration, but also

extraterrestrial visitation, many ancient astronaut theorists believe it

have posed a serious threat to a Catholic hierarchy steeped in the

intolerance of the Inquisition.

But if this incredible theory is true, what then happened to the

extraterrestrial visitors?

Why did they come here, only to leave or go into hiding?

Because of various wars going on, cataclysm, eventually the

civilizations began to collapse, as civilizations do.

And what happened in the end was the airships, they stopped coming. And then

extraterrestrial demigods pulled their technology back.

So we don't know what happened there with the extraterrestrials and where

went. And so you have to wonder if... They don't want us to know that they are

here. The extraterrestrials may have just decided, okay, humans on planet

have got the seeds of civilization.

Let's just stand back and see what they do.

As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the proof of

extraterrestrial visitation is still out there, much of it buried beneath

centuries of dirt and rocks.

But every day, The truth is being revealed.

In February 2018 through March 2019, archaeologists made a number

of incredible discoveries just in the area of Mexico alone.

Mayan artifacts were discovered in Teotihuacan, a location previously

have been inhabited only by the Aztecs.

200 more artifacts were found in a hidden cave under the Mayan site of

Itza.

And beneath dense jungles near Lake Pochcuaro, LIDAR scanning uncovered an

ancient city the size of Manhattan.

In the early 1990s, there were these science fiction stories that one day

be able to somehow look underneath the overgrown jungle.

And sure enough, here we are, 20, 25 years later, and that technology now

exists.

Satellites are now able to look through the soil into the ground to see if

other structures exist.

And guess what? They do.

We have only now begun a new era of discovery and I predict thousands

as of yet undiscovered sites will finally see the light of day.

If you have a puzzle with a thousand pieces, in order to see the final

you don't need to lay down all 1 ,000 pieces.

If you lay down 980 pieces, I guarantee you, you will see the big picture.

Is mankind on an incredible threshold of discovery?

one that will confirm that extraterrestrial visitation has occurred

world and for centuries.

Perhaps beneath the ruins of a newly discovered site in Mexico,

will uncover the ultimate evidence of alien contact and proof of

humanity's true origin.
