1
00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:04,650
The fruit of a tree that forever alters
humanity.
2
00:00:04,970 --> 00:00:10,530
The serpent being offers them some
special food to eat. And suddenly we
3
00:00:10,530 --> 00:00:15,350
fundamental change. A drink that grants
everlasting life.
4
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:20,290
This liquid could convey immortality
upon those who consume it.
5
00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:22,210
And a nourishing substance.
6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,580
that rains down from the sky.
7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,320
This machine was given to the Israelites
by extraterrestrials.
8
00:00:30,940 --> 00:00:36,080
In every religious tradition, there are
foods believed to possess extraordinary
9
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,440
power, and some that are even consumed
by the gods themselves.
10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,320
The gods ate the gods' drink, and this
is what kept them divine.
11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,880
But is it possible that what our
ancestors described as gods were in fact
12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,160
visitors from another world?
13
00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:00,620
And if so, might the food of these gods
reveal a powerful link to mankind's
14
00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:02,540
extraterrestrial origins?
15
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,660
These foods were directly introduced
into the human experience in order to
16
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:11,840
awaken, to bring us closer to the gods.
17
00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:17,900
There is a doorway in the universe.
18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,090
Beyond it, is the promise of truth it
demands we question everything
19
00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:33,030
we have ever been taught the evidence is
all around us the
20
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:40,030
future is right before our eyes we are
not alone we have
21
00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:41,810
never been alone
22
00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:56,270
As humanity prepares to travel to other
worlds, one of the biggest challenges
23
00:01:56,270 --> 00:02:01,810
facing scientists is how to provide
sustenance beyond that found on planet
24
00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:07,450
Earth. When we think of the early
pioneers, we think of, quote, living off
25
00:02:07,450 --> 00:02:10,169
land. You can't do that in outer space.
26
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:13,590
There's no soil. There's no oxygen.
27
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:18,470
There's very little of the basic
ingredients that we take for granted on
28
00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:19,470
planet Earth.
29
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,200
So living in outer space presents a
whole new set of challenges.
30
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Currently, NASA researchers are
experimenting with various possible
31
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,500
the problem of keeping humans fed during
long -term missions.
32
00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:41,120
For long expeditions in space, there are
really three things we have to do.
33
00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:43,440
One, either bring our food with us.
34
00:02:44,020 --> 00:02:47,380
Wherever we go, take the food. Wagon
trade.
35
00:02:49,660 --> 00:02:55,440
Two, terraform a planet or find a planet
where we can already grow food that can
36
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,000
sustain us. Or three, change our own
metabolism so that we can
37
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,620
exist on a whole different kind of food.
38
00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:10,580
But is it even possible to sustain life
in the vacuum of space?
39
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:17,130
In recent years, Biologists have
discovered organisms on our planet that
40
00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:22,590
thrive in extreme conditions, like those
found in the deepest depths of Earth's
41
00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:27,150
oceans. The prevailing assumption was
that there wasn't much life at the
42
00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:33,330
of the ocean. So this idea that the deep
sea could actually contain life,
43
00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:37,370
it's pretty phenomenal, because I think
we had assumed that without light we
44
00:03:37,370 --> 00:03:38,370
couldn't have life.
45
00:03:38,810 --> 00:03:44,110
So the existence of whole ecosystems
that are supported by chemical reactions
46
00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:49,790
that don't need light to generate
biomolecules and energy, I think was
47
00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:50,790
revolutionary.
48
00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:57,230
But could the key to mankind's survival
on other worlds be found not in a
49
00:03:57,230 --> 00:04:02,330
laboratory, but by studying past
accounts of extraterrestrial encounters?
50
00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:06,830
Eagle River, Wisconsin.
51
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,860
April 18, 1961.
52
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,740
Plumber Joe Simonton is finishing his
lunch when he notices a metallic saucer
53
00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:20,140
-shaped crack landing just outside his
kitchen window.
54
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,400
I raced out to see what it was, and by
that time, there was a hatchway opening
55
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,980
up in the top of it, just like the trunk
of your car.
56
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,260
And in there, there stood a little man.
57
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,060
I say a little man, about five foot
tall.
58
00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:39,960
holding up a jug, and he motioned he
wanted to drink. He motioned for water.
59
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:46,220
I walked up to him to get this jug, and
I looked at his eyes, and they were so
60
00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:48,240
penetrating that I had to look away.
61
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,920
Simonton took the container and filled
it with water.
62
00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:58,480
When he returned to the flying saucer,
he noticed a second beam with what
63
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,500
appeared to be food -like wafers.
64
00:05:02,090 --> 00:05:05,790
He didn't say a word. He just reached
over and he got a handful of them, four
65
00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:09,030
them, and he handed them down to me,
which I have one here yet.
66
00:05:09,890 --> 00:05:15,050
According to Simonton, the two aliens
promptly closed the hatch and took off.
67
00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:18,290
Within two or three seconds, it was out
of sight.
68
00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:22,470
Well, there I stood in the driveway
wondering what the heck I saw, what had
69
00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:28,350
happened. And if that was their food,
God help them, because I took a bite of
70
00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:30,750
one of them and it tasted like a piece
of cardboard.
71
00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:39,280
The case immediately garnered the
attention of U .S. government agencies
72
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:45,220
into the UFO phenomenon, including
Project Blue Book and its science
73
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,660
astronomer J. Allen Hynek.
74
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,720
Joe Simonton, this is an interesting
case because it has a level of physical
75
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200
evidence that we don't often see with a
lot of these cases.
76
00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:03,440
Nightcap. The National Investigations
Committee for Aerial Phenomena, which
77
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,180
largely CIA back in that period of time,
wants to investigate. And J. Allen
78
00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:13,660
Hynek, who was doing investigations for
the Air Force, he wanted to investigate.
79
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,880
Hynek obtained samples of the wafers and
requested a full analysis by the U .S.
80
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Department of Health Food and Drug
Laboratory.
81
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,780
The report stated that the wafers
consisted of chemically modified
82
00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:31,480
plants. including buckwheat, soybeans,
and bran.
83
00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:38,520
But curiously, not even the tiniest
trace amount of salt was detected in the
84
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,520
sample.
85
00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:48,340
There was no salt at all found in this
analysis by NICAP and J. Allen
86
00:06:48,340 --> 00:06:49,340
Hynek.
87
00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:50,940
And it's puzzling.
88
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,520
One of the interesting things about life
on this planet is it did start in the
89
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,440
oceans, and the ocean is salt water. And
so fundamentally, the water in our
90
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,040
bodies, in our cells, and in pretty much
every living thing has a certain amount
91
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,680
of salt concentration, and it's
ubiquitous everywhere.
92
00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:13,700
According to scientists, every cell of
every living organism on Earth contains
93
00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,820
trace amount of sodium chloride, or
salt.
94
00:07:17,420 --> 00:07:22,430
So could the complete lack of salt in
Joe Simonton's so -called alien wafer
95
00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:26,650
really be proof that it came from an
extraterrestrial source?
96
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:33,570
We see in outer space thousands of
planets with different kinds of
97
00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:38,190
so it's definitely possible that you
could have an entire planet with very
98
00:07:38,190 --> 00:07:39,250
little salt on it.
99
00:07:39,690 --> 00:07:45,670
What if salt is as poisonous to those
aliens?
100
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,360
as cyanide is to us.
101
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,900
That's what that alien contact could
presuppose, that we've learned something
102
00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,660
about what's poisonous to them.
103
00:07:56,100 --> 00:08:01,860
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that
support for the Joe Simonton story and
104
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:06,500
the notion that salt might be poisonous
to some extraterrestrials that have
105
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:12,140
visited Earth can be found in ancient
tales from around the world in which
106
00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:14,680
is used to ward off alien entities.
107
00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:21,070
The salt connection to the Simonton
story is very interesting because it
108
00:08:21,070 --> 00:08:26,290
connects to other mythologies involving
demonic beings or fairy beings.
109
00:08:27,130 --> 00:08:31,670
They say that if you pour salt on the
ground in front of a fairy, it has to
110
00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:35,010
automatically, or that you can throw
salt over your shoulder and this will
111
00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:36,130
off evil spirits.
112
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,440
The Shinto religion uses salt as a
protective mechanism.
113
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:47,600
So for salt to be lacking in these
pancakes is extraordinary because it
114
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,320
us to these ancient stories, and it
actually confirms these ancient stories.
115
00:08:54,580 --> 00:08:59,720
But if the stories of both the past and
present are true, and these alien
116
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,740
visitors cannot consume salt,
117
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,880
How have they been able to sustain
themselves in a place where salt is
118
00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:13,240
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that
the answer to this one simple question
119
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,120
may reveal both an alien agenda on Earth
and perhaps even the purpose behind the
120
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,760
creation of humankind.
121
00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:28,220
Egypt
122
00:09:29,390 --> 00:09:31,670
The 14th century B .C.
123
00:09:33,410 --> 00:09:38,610
According to the Hebrew Bible's book of
Exodus, the prophet Moses helps the
124
00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:43,230
Jewish slaves to escape the tyranny of
the Pharaoh, leading them across the Red
125
00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:45,830
Sea and into the Sinai Desert.
126
00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:51,010
During the Exodus phase, you know,
you're wandering in the desert for
127
00:09:51,010 --> 00:09:52,610
years. What do you eat?
128
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,320
Well, God provides this magical
substance.
129
00:09:59,460 --> 00:10:06,220
Moses appealed to Yahweh, the Old
Testament God, and Yahweh caused manna,
130
00:10:06,220 --> 00:10:10,800
this food of the heavens, to rain down
upon the Israelites.
131
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,040
But according to ancient astronaut
theorists, the story of the Israelites
132
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,340
receiving manna from heaven is not a
story about a magical food being sent by
133
00:10:22,340 --> 00:10:28,600
Almighty God, but one of
extraterrestrials using their advanced
134
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,080
order to prevent a group of migrating
humans from starving.
135
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,660
We assumed that we were looking at gods
in the past.
136
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,900
We didn't know we might be looking at
aliens.
137
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:51,240
In 1978, linguist George Sassoon, and
electrical engineer Rodney Dale
138
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,440
released their book, The Mana Machine.
139
00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,380
In it, they propose that the
supplementary Hebrew texts of the Zohar
140
00:11:00,380 --> 00:11:05,260
surprisingly detailed descriptions that
point to mana being supplied by a
141
00:11:05,260 --> 00:11:06,260
mechanical device.
142
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:12,700
We have a concise description of it in
the ancient Jewish text of the Zohar,
143
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,280
where they describe the transportable
one with the tanks.
144
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,780
Dale and Sassoon looked at these stories
and they came out with the idea that
145
00:11:23,780 --> 00:11:28,440
this is not a description of God at all.
It's a description of a machine.
146
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:34,320
The manna machine was this tower -like
structure and it had these two giant
147
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,000
tanks and a dispenser.
148
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:43,060
Manna is the product of that machine and
it is based on algae
149
00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:45,880
cultures. This manna machine...
150
00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:52,860
had to be taken apart every Saturday.
And this was the one day that
151
00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:55,160
the tribe did not have any food.
152
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:02,160
The basic proposition by Dale and
Sassoon is that this machine was given
153
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,400
to the Israelites by extraterrestrials.
154
00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:12,920
Could it be that extraterrestrials
provided technology to the Israelites to
155
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,869
sustain them?
156
00:12:13,870 --> 00:12:15,850
during their long journey through the
desert?
157
00:12:16,410 --> 00:12:21,930
For the answer, ancient astronaut
theorists point to passages describing a
158
00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:27,430
pillar of cloud during the day and a
pillar of fire guiding them at night.
159
00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:34,330
They're following a light that's guiding
them as they wander for 40 years
160
00:12:34,330 --> 00:12:38,810
through these deserts of the Sinai and
northern Saudi Arabia.
161
00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:47,120
So you have to ask yourself, Is it
possible that this killer of fire is a
162
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,340
that was working with Moses to bring the
Israelites to the Promised Land?
163
00:12:53,380 --> 00:12:58,880
If extraterrestrials provided the
Israelites with a food dispensing
164
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,620
it possible that they had been using
this or a similar technology to sustain
165
00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:04,620
themselves?
166
00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:11,220
Perhaps the same technology as the one
that produced the mysterious salt -free
167
00:13:11,220 --> 00:13:16,120
wafer. that Joe Simonton claimed was
given to him by aliens in 1961.
168
00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:24,400
As far as ancient astronaut theorists
are concerned, the answer lies not in
169
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,840
further study of the so -called manna
machine, but by looking into other
170
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,360
possible extraterrestrial food sources.
171
00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:38,800
I think there's a definite connection to
be drawn between a lot of the food
172
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,620
preparation practice that we see
associated with all sorts of major
173
00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:45,260
and the modern UFO phenomena.
174
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,300
If we look back into ancient religions,
one of the things that we find time and
175
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:56,280
again, no matter which part of the world
it is, is the issue of sacrifice of
176
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,280
animals.
177
00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:02,320
Now, the big question is, why was this
being done?
178
00:14:02,990 --> 00:14:08,770
Well, I think we could make an
interesting scenario if, for example,
179
00:14:08,770 --> 00:14:12,070
required specific food and liquid items.
180
00:14:13,250 --> 00:14:15,630
There are all sorts of religions that
have food restrictions.
181
00:14:15,930 --> 00:14:19,470
In the Jewish tradition, we have the
word kosher, what is acceptable food.
182
00:14:19,690 --> 00:14:23,250
In the Islamic tradition, halal, exactly
the same thing, what food is allowed,
183
00:14:23,470 --> 00:14:24,470
what food is acceptable.
184
00:14:25,290 --> 00:14:29,310
And so, for example, when you kill an
animal, you cut the throat, you drain
185
00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:31,710
blood, you want as little blood there as
possible.
186
00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:39,180
The handling and management of blood in
kosher and halal practice is
187
00:14:39,180 --> 00:14:43,720
especially important because it is
generally considered reserved for God. I
188
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,280
wouldn't be surprised at all if blood
did not play a big role in their food.
189
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:54,880
if people in the past had seen them
consuming blood, it might have become
190
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,400
higher beings had the right to consume
the blood, not human beings.
191
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,900
Malheur National Forest, Kearney County,
Oregon, July 30th, 2019.
192
00:15:09,660 --> 00:15:14,780
A rancher discovers the mutilated
carcasses of five of his prized voles.
193
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:22,640
At a loss to explain the deaths,
authorities note that the animals have
194
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,900
entirely drained of blood.
195
00:15:24,620 --> 00:15:29,040
This is in keeping with many similar
mutilations reported around the world.
196
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:37,760
Animals of every type you can think of,
large and small, have been bloodlessly
197
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,760
mutilated.
198
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:47,360
Wild animals, deer, elk, marmots,
reindeer, kangaroos,
199
00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:51,380
snakes, all found bloodlessly mutilated.
200
00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:58,140
When cows are mutilated, one of the
things we notice is that they're
201
00:15:58,140 --> 00:15:59,380
drained of blood.
202
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,220
Anguinated. What could that possibly
mean?
203
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:10,440
According to FBI statistics, the agency
has documented over 10 ,000 official
204
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,640
reports of similar animal mutilations
over the past half century.
205
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,880
Investigative journalist Linda Moulton
Howe began researching cattle
206
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,980
in the late 1970s. When I produced The
Strange Harvest about the animal
207
00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:26,980
mutilations,
208
00:16:27,450 --> 00:16:32,690
All of it was a brand new landscape for
me as an investigative reporter and TV
209
00:16:32,690 --> 00:16:39,250
producer. And it led me to people who
were saying the perpetrators are
210
00:16:39,250 --> 00:16:40,250
from outer space.
211
00:16:40,970 --> 00:16:44,930
And the whole issue of what are they?
212
00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:46,930
Do they eat?
213
00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:51,070
Do they drink? Are they like a what?
214
00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:53,430
During her investigation,
215
00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:58,720
Linda met with a woman from the Las
Cruces, New Mexico area who claimed to
216
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,560
been abducted from the scene and taken
aboard a craft.
217
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,520
Once inside the craft, the woman
encountered extraterrestrial beings.
218
00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:13,740
They led her to a large vat containing
dark liquid with body parts floating in
219
00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:14,740
it.
220
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:21,480
They're all floating in this round
container and something puts in her head
221
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,480
telepathically.
222
00:17:23,550 --> 00:17:25,770
that it has something to do with
sustenance.
223
00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:31,830
Is there something in both animal and
human blood that is necessary in order
224
00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:35,490
sustain the life of extraterrestrials
visiting planet Earth?
225
00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:42,770
And if so, could finding the answer
provide an important key, not only in
226
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:48,330
understanding of alien life, but in our
search for a means of survival on other
227
00:17:48,330 --> 00:17:54,690
worlds? As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned, The answer
228
00:17:54,690 --> 00:18:01,310
found by examining the strange
connection between human blood and
229
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:08,450
Mount Olympus, Greece.
230
00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:13,230
For the ancient Greeks, this was the
home of the gods.
231
00:18:13,950 --> 00:18:18,590
Gods that were very much like humans,
except that they could live forever,
232
00:18:18,790 --> 00:18:22,310
courtesy of a mysterious drink called...
233
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:28,780
Ambrosia was literally the food of
immortality. In the ancient world, the
234
00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:33,560
ate, the gods drank, and this is what
kept them divine. This is what kept them
235
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,280
alive forever, which is one of the
crucial differences between the divine
236
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,280
the human.
237
00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:44,400
While ambrosia was reserved for the
gods, the ancient Greek texts also
238
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,880
stories of this divine food being shared
with select humans and extending their
239
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,360
lifespans indefinitely.
240
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:59,180
We might imagine that it is some sort of
liquid or paste
241
00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:03,180
or ointment that has special properties.
242
00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:09,620
By drinking it, you are extending your
life.
243
00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:16,740
And if you drank this ambrosia over
many, many years, you could have a
244
00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:19,200
sense of immortality in a way.
245
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,340
Substances like ambrosia, can be found
in numerous ancient traditions.
246
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,440
In China, there were stories of the
peaches of immortality.
247
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,260
The Norse spoke of ethune's apples.
248
00:19:32,620 --> 00:19:37,520
But as far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned, the ubiquity of
249
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,920
story also provides further evidence
that ancient peoples came into contact
250
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,940
the same otherworldly beings.
251
00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:50,640
Ancient astronaut theorists look at the
gods as extraterrestrial beings, as
252
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,640
aliens.
253
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,080
If you're talking about beings that are
traveling the stars for generations,
254
00:19:57,620 --> 00:20:02,680
they're going to need some kind of
sustenance that will sustain them during
255
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,460
these voyages. And that appears to be
what ambrosia was.
256
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,580
Could it be that the ancient stories
about ambrosia and similar elixirs were
257
00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:18,120
actually descriptions of a substance
that extraterrestrials used to
258
00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:19,980
long voyages through space?
259
00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:26,500
And if so, Was it seen as a source of
immortality, not only because of its
260
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:32,080
ability to prolong life, but also
because it sustained alien travelers
261
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,820
thousands of years in space?
262
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,640
Perhaps further clues to the answers can
be found by examining the many accounts
263
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,340
of ancient people living far longer than
the average life expectancy today.
264
00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:49,970
The biblical lifespans are
extraordinary. So the Bible says that
265
00:20:49,970 --> 00:20:56,330
930 years, that Noah lived for 950
years, that Methuselah lived for 969
266
00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:57,330
years.
267
00:20:58,550 --> 00:21:03,130
It seems like an odd concept, but you
have many records of, not just in the
268
00:21:03,130 --> 00:21:06,650
Bible, but all throughout history, all
these other cultures also talk about
269
00:21:06,650 --> 00:21:11,650
this. You know, the Sumerian kings list,
Chinese masters living to 300 years old
270
00:21:11,650 --> 00:21:12,990
into the 1700s.
271
00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:18,960
Even ancient Philippine records talk
about these kings that lived long lives.
272
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,820
It's found all around the world.
273
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:28,780
Some of the stories that we hear about
this drink ambrosia connect to these
274
00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:30,900
journeys to the celestial realm.
275
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:38,120
In fact, Enoch actually describes that
before he was able to go up to the
276
00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:43,920
heavens, He is actually anointed, and he
says it smelled like ambrosia.
277
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,520
But the question is, was he really
anointed?
278
00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:54,700
What if ambrosia was something that you
had to take in in order to prepare for a
279
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:58,300
journey to outer space, and it gave you
immortality?
280
00:22:00,940 --> 00:22:06,220
If ambrosia was an alien substance that
could both extend life and facilitate
281
00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:08,890
space travel, Just what was it?
282
00:22:09,390 --> 00:22:12,910
Something that could only be found or
concocted on alien worlds?
283
00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:18,290
Or something that could be found in
abundance right here on Earth?
284
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,320
obtains approval to begin clinical
trials on an experimental treatment to
285
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,320
reverse aging.
286
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,820
Medical researchers inject older test
subjects with blood plasma from young
287
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:52,420
donors in an effort to improve their
health and extend their lifespan.
288
00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:59,020
Hundreds of patients sign up to
participate, paying $8 ,000 for each
289
00:22:59,020 --> 00:23:00,420
blood plasma they receive.
290
00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:11,550
Whether it's true or not is that by
infusing yourself with the blood of
291
00:23:11,550 --> 00:23:17,550
people, you will gain a longer life
because you won't have, as the
292
00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:20,590
used to say, tired blood or old blood.
293
00:23:20,790 --> 00:23:24,310
You're literally giving yourself a new
lease on life.
294
00:23:34,190 --> 00:23:40,650
that blood can impart immortality is
widespread, found in legends of vampires
295
00:23:40,650 --> 00:23:44,130
and even historical accounts of human
blood sacrifice.
296
00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:51,410
Is it possible that blood, and
particularly human blood, has life
297
00:23:51,410 --> 00:23:54,370
properties far beyond our current
understanding?
298
00:23:55,230 --> 00:24:00,610
When it comes to the issue of
extraterrestrials and blood, there's one
299
00:24:00,890 --> 00:24:03,390
the idea that the aliens may actually
300
00:24:04,190 --> 00:24:05,190
take blood.
301
00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:08,810
Now, that's not completely out of the
question.
302
00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:15,050
The main reason being, it contains iron,
proteins, nutrients.
303
00:24:15,390 --> 00:24:21,910
In other words, it'd be the classic
important item for aliens
304
00:24:21,910 --> 00:24:23,070
to dine upon.
305
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:30,140
But we cannot do that without causing
extreme damage, possibly even death, to
306
00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:36,980
ourselves. That sort of suggests
possibly also that blood is an item of
307
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:38,940
extraterrestrials and not of us.
308
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,100
Does human blood possess life
-sustaining properties far beyond its
309
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:46,400
inside the body?
310
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,980
And if so, could the substance known as
ambrosia be flowing through the veins?
311
00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:53,300
of every human?
312
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,900
As far as many ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned, the answer is
313
00:25:00,220 --> 00:25:06,140
And they suggest that this profound
notion was first conveyed to humankind
314
00:25:06,140 --> 00:25:10,860
than 2 ,000 years ago by a man named
Jesus.
315
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,560
Vatican City 2019
316
00:25:22,540 --> 00:25:27,340
Thousands of pilgrims bow their heads as
Pope Francis performs the liturgy of
317
00:25:27,340 --> 00:25:31,040
the Eucharist and consecrates the
offering of bread and wine.
318
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,880
According to church historians, the
ceremony's roots lie in the Last Supper
319
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:43,000
Jesus shared with his disciples shortly
before he sacrificed his life on the
320
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000
cross.
321
00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:51,460
As he passed the bread, Jesus said, Take
this and eat it. It is my body.
322
00:25:53,070 --> 00:25:57,410
And as he passed the wine, he said,
drink this, it is the blood of the
323
00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:04,210
And out of that moment, at a meal, grew
a great ritual, a ceremony, a sacrament
324
00:26:04,210 --> 00:26:08,070
that is repeated to this day around the
world by millions of people.
325
00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:14,030
In the Roman Catholic tradition, during
the Mass, the priest is empowered by the
326
00:26:14,030 --> 00:26:18,670
prayers that energize the bread and the
wine such that they become transformed
327
00:26:18,670 --> 00:26:21,050
or transubstantiated.
328
00:26:21,470 --> 00:26:25,030
into the living presence of the body and
the blood of Christ.
329
00:26:27,950 --> 00:26:31,970
Transubstantiation is one of the
Catholic Church's most exalted
330
00:26:33,770 --> 00:26:39,130
Catholics are encouraged to believe that
through this miracle, somehow, these
331
00:26:39,130 --> 00:26:44,970
ordinary wafers and ordinary wine become
the blood and body of Jesus.
332
00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:50,570
Could this rite of turning bread and
wine into the body and blood of Jesus,
333
00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:53,260
really have otherworldly origins?
334
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,340
Isn't it interesting that we have
numerous traditions around the globe
335
00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:03,460
us that blood is the substance reserved
for the gods?
336
00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:08,140
Now we have to ask, is there a
connection between the ritual of the
337
00:27:08,140 --> 00:27:11,700
mass and extraterrestrials?
338
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:19,890
Maybe it's possible by imbibing certain
bloods. the extraterrestrials are
339
00:27:19,890 --> 00:27:24,750
actually able to extend their lifespans
to incredible degrees.
340
00:27:26,050 --> 00:27:31,570
So, when Jesus talked about the blood of
the covenant, just maybe Jesus was
341
00:27:31,570 --> 00:27:37,910
talking in a symbolic fashion when he
talked about how wine and bread sustains
342
00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:42,130
us, but something very, very different
sustained him.
343
00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:45,390
That the wine that sustains us...
344
00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:48,860
is the parallel of the blood for Jesus.
345
00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:55,580
If alien beings have been coming to
Earth for thousands of years, is it
346
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:59,840
that they have evolved to a point where
they do not physically consume food in
347
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,540
the way that humans do, but are able to
draw sustenance from certain energetic
348
00:28:04,540 --> 00:28:06,420
substances, like blood?
349
00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:12,640
And does the ritual of communion provide
a clue as to how humankind must evolve
350
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,270
in order to become like the god.
351
00:28:16,550 --> 00:28:20,930
When we think of food, we immediately
have that image of a hamburger, french
352
00:28:20,930 --> 00:28:22,530
fries, and there you are munching away.
353
00:28:23,630 --> 00:28:25,250
But I'm a physicist.
354
00:28:25,570 --> 00:28:28,350
We realize that the essence of food is
energy.
355
00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:34,030
And energy can exist in many, many
forms. So think of widening your
356
00:28:34,030 --> 00:28:38,290
possibilities. Anytime there's a source
of energy, there's a possibility of
357
00:28:38,290 --> 00:28:41,290
using it for food for an alien species.
358
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,760
Myself, I think these things are really
possible and maybe there is something
359
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,740
there. But at the same time, the story
of the Eucharist being created in the
360
00:28:52,740 --> 00:28:56,420
upper room is one of the most profound
and beautiful stories I know.
361
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,560
And I prefer to think of it that way,
personally.
362
00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:05,180
For centuries, theologists have debated
the origin and meaning of the Eucharist.
363
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,100
But it is not an entirely unique ritual.
364
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,980
And ancient astronaut theorists
suggest...
365
00:29:11,290 --> 00:29:16,110
that a similar ceremony established in
ancient India provides further clues as
366
00:29:16,110 --> 00:29:18,370
to the nature of alien sustenance.
367
00:29:19,230 --> 00:29:24,070
Soma is a huge thing in the early Indian
traditions, the big data, the earliest
368
00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:25,070
Hindu texts.
369
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,320
Talk about this. So Soma is this drink
that gives the people who consume it,
370
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,960
know, the powers of this God or the
thoughts of this God, the abilities
371
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,060
Soma was brought to humans by Agni, the
fire god. The same story you have with
372
00:29:40,060 --> 00:29:44,880
the holy wine or the Eucharist. And it's
like somehow we are being helped by
373
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,300
these beings through these different
substances.
374
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,980
I find that really fascinating.
375
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,940
They have a saying in the Rig Vita that
if you drink Soma, you see God and you
376
00:29:54,940 --> 00:30:00,760
connect. But they also said it promoted
immortality and longevity as well.
377
00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:09,120
Ancient people are drinking the special
drink of Soma, and they're drinking the
378
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:15,700
blood of the gods. And so we look too at
the Catholic concept of
379
00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:21,220
transubstantiation, where the body and
the blood of Christ.
380
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:28,920
are then in these wafers and wine that
we drink. And you have to wonder if
381
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:35,220
even that is an old relic of the early
Soma
382
00:30:35,220 --> 00:30:36,220
rituals.
383
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,880
Is there an extraterrestrial inspiration
behind both the rites of communion and
384
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,400
the ancient rites of Soma?
385
00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:48,800
Were they intended to teach us vital
lessons about longevity?
386
00:30:49,530 --> 00:30:53,770
and perhaps point the way to our own
future as a space -bearing people?
387
00:30:55,010 --> 00:31:00,770
And if so, might there be other stories
of other food substances humans were
388
00:31:00,770 --> 00:31:05,150
given to eat or drink that point to an
alien agenda for mankind?
389
00:31:18,030 --> 00:31:22,390
During an international book tour for
Communion, his best -selling account of
390
00:31:22,390 --> 00:31:27,110
his own alien abduction, author Whitley
Streber receives a visit at his hotel
391
00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:29,150
room from a mysterious being.
392
00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:36,770
I had a 45 -minute conversation with
him. Then he gave me a glass of liquid
393
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:37,770
drink.
394
00:31:40,130 --> 00:31:47,070
It was white, and I didn't want to drink
it, but he insisted that I do it.
395
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,060
Somehow or another, I did it.
396
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,300
It was extremely bitter.
397
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,500
And the next thing I knew, I was waking
up in the morning.
398
00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:58,120
I thought maybe it's some kind of alien
potion.
399
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:05,240
But recently I did some more research on
it, and I found that it's in the past
400
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,940
called the milk of Nepenthe.
401
00:32:08,540 --> 00:32:12,300
It was first mentioned in the poet
Homer's writings.
402
00:32:13,770 --> 00:32:18,270
Then it was known throughout the ancient
world, no one was really sure what it
403
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:22,670
is, but the symptoms described are just
like what I experienced.
404
00:32:23,930 --> 00:32:28,190
Nepenthe is something that makes people
forget, as it did me.
405
00:32:29,650 --> 00:32:35,390
Homer, the legendary 8th century B .C.
Greek poet, mentions Nepenthe in his
406
00:32:35,390 --> 00:32:36,870
poem, The Odyssey.
407
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:42,830
Plato writes about a similar substance
in his book 10 of the Republic.
408
00:32:44,190 --> 00:32:48,810
The drink was said to help humans fall
into profound amnesia and forget the
409
00:32:48,810 --> 00:32:53,670
trauma of their encounters with the
gods, encounters that today we might
410
00:32:53,670 --> 00:32:54,990
alien abduction.
411
00:32:58,370 --> 00:33:03,390
It was also given to people who had gone
to Mount Olympus and been with the gods
412
00:33:03,390 --> 00:33:07,870
on their way down so that they would
forget what they had seen.
413
00:33:08,670 --> 00:33:11,530
and they would not want to commit
suicide.
414
00:33:13,510 --> 00:33:19,190
In Greek mythology, every time it was
given to someone, they would forget
415
00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:22,010
anything that happened to them in the
last 48 hours.
416
00:33:22,990 --> 00:33:29,970
Now what's interesting is that modern
-day abductees talk about the same
417
00:33:31,210 --> 00:33:37,860
So my question is, Is it possible that
extraterrestrials are giving substances
418
00:33:37,860 --> 00:33:41,680
to people in order to forget what has
happened to them?
419
00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:47,000
If extraterrestrials have been using
some type of drink to cloud the memories
420
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,600
humans they come into contact with, what
is the purpose?
421
00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:54,920
Is it simply to spare them the trauma of
an alien encounter?
422
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,500
Or could it be to hide the fact that
they are extracting blood?
423
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,680
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe
the answer can be found by examining
424
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,500
the most important moment of
extraterrestrial intervention in human
425
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,340
New York City, 1976.
426
00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:22,719
After spending 30 years deciphering the
Sumerian language, researcher Zechariah
427
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,080
Sitchin publishes his book, The Twelfth
Planet.
428
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,900
In it, he proposes...
429
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,480
that a race of extraterrestrials known
as the Anunnaki genetically modified
430
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,159
ancient primates in the distant past,
turning them into modern humans.
431
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,719
In his books, Zechariah Sitchin dealt at
length with the Sumerian creation
432
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,560
stories, the Atrahasis and others that
tell of these beings, the Anunnaki,
433
00:34:48,659 --> 00:34:50,900
putting their image on humanity.
434
00:34:53,130 --> 00:34:58,470
that they genetically altered a proto
-human to create a new race of beings,
435
00:34:58,690 --> 00:34:59,690
Homo sapiens.
436
00:35:01,010 --> 00:35:05,850
According to Sitchin's translation of
the Sumerian cuneiform writings, the
437
00:35:05,850 --> 00:35:11,830
Anunnaki produced the first successful
Homo sapiens around 250 ,000 B .C.
438
00:35:13,390 --> 00:35:19,720
While scholars in the 1970s dismissed
Sitchin's theory, In the 1980s,
439
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,360
anthropologists traced the mitochondrial
DNA of all modern humans to a common
440
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,240
female ancestor living in Africa roughly
250 ,000 years ago.
441
00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:33,560
Geneticists call her mitochondrial Eve.
442
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:41,080
We were wise, but now we're even wiser.
Just like that. And geneticists to this
443
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,080
day cannot quite figure out, well, what
was that?
444
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,960
that change that virtually happened
overnight.
445
00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:56,640
So when you have these weird examples
where stuff essentially happens
446
00:35:57,060 --> 00:36:01,580
I'm suggesting this was done due to an
artificial mutation.
447
00:36:05,420 --> 00:36:10,080
Researchers following in Sitchin's
footsteps have noted a largely
448
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,420
aspect of the Sumerian cylindrical seal.
449
00:36:12,860 --> 00:36:16,540
depicting the celebration of the first
successful human experiment.
450
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:22,620
The scene features a figure stirring a
jar and another holding a flask directed
451
00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:24,120
at their original creation.
452
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,960
Many associate the scene with the
biblical account of the temptation of
453
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Eve.
454
00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:38,800
Adam and Eve, before their encounter
with this bright snake, this talking
455
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:44,210
serpent, who is equated with Enki in the
Sumerian tradition, this genetic
456
00:36:44,210 --> 00:36:49,290
engineer that came from another world
and altered our human DNA, that before
457
00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:53,950
this event, Adam and Eve pretty much
lived like primitive or a primate -type
458
00:36:53,950 --> 00:36:54,950
beings.
459
00:36:55,710 --> 00:37:00,370
Could the story of Adam and Eve's
transformation be a memory of the moment
460
00:37:00,370 --> 00:37:05,250
genome was altered by an
extraterrestrial race, as proposed by
461
00:37:05,630 --> 00:37:11,230
And if so, Was that alteration done by
mechanical gene splicing in a laboratory
462
00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:14,750
as 21st century technology might do it
today?
463
00:37:15,830 --> 00:37:21,570
Or could it have been accomplished in a
far more sophisticated way by simply
464
00:37:21,570 --> 00:37:26,750
giving our ancestors some highly
advanced alien substance designed to
465
00:37:26,750 --> 00:37:28,550
primates into people?
466
00:37:29,570 --> 00:37:35,110
Here's the story of Adam and Eve living
blissfully in this Edenic garden.
467
00:37:35,630 --> 00:37:40,650
and just watching the sunset and having
sex and not doing a whole lot and then
468
00:37:40,650 --> 00:37:45,970
suddenly this serpent being comes to
them and offers them some special food
469
00:37:45,970 --> 00:37:51,350
eat and they completely change into what
we would call modern people and here we
470
00:37:51,350 --> 00:37:57,710
have through the intake of food we have
a fundamental change and in a sense an
471
00:37:57,710 --> 00:37:59,510
evolutionary leap
472
00:38:00,230 --> 00:38:06,870
From primitive humans to more modern
humans who are more aware of themselves
473
00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:07,870
their surroundings.
474
00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:14,630
Did extraterrestrials alter life on
Earth to create sentient beings and then
475
00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:19,390
amnesia -inducing substances in order to
keep them from knowing the facts behind
476
00:38:19,390 --> 00:38:20,730
their alien origins?
477
00:38:21,910 --> 00:38:24,430
Ancient astronaut theorist, Sayaz.
478
00:38:24,990 --> 00:38:29,570
and suggests that as humans begin to
take their next evolutionary step into
479
00:38:29,570 --> 00:38:33,930
space, the veil of ignorance will soon
be removed.
480
00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:44,410
220 miles above the Earth.
481
00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:49,930
Researchers on the International Space
Station are currently testing an
482
00:38:49,930 --> 00:38:51,910
hydroponic system to make food.
483
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,700
Utilizing artificial light and a water
-based nutrient solution, the microalgae
484
00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:02,680
contained within the unit takes in
carbon dioxide breathed out by the
485
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:03,680
astronauts.
486
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:10,600
The process allows the microalgae to
quickly multiply and produces a
487
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,940
supply of nourishment on board the
craft.
488
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,420
We breathe in oxygen and we get our
carbon dioxide.
489
00:39:18,780 --> 00:39:23,200
But in a hydroponic farm, you have
plants growing in liquid.
490
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:30,740
And it takes in the waste products of
human combustion and expels oxygen as a
491
00:39:30,740 --> 00:39:36,860
consequence. That would give you a self
-sustaining ecosystem to maintain the
492
00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:39,840
human body. NASA is experimenting
with...
493
00:39:40,690 --> 00:39:46,210
hydroponic machines that enable the
astronauts to grow a kind of
494
00:39:46,210 --> 00:39:50,790
algae that is reminiscent of the manna
from the Old Testament.
495
00:39:51,410 --> 00:39:54,690
Could it be that's our own manna
machine?
496
00:39:56,610 --> 00:40:02,350
As manned missions to Mars are within
our grasp, logistical obstacles, like
497
00:40:02,350 --> 00:40:04,870
to sustain the crew, must first be
overcome.
498
00:40:06,060 --> 00:40:10,920
Could the solution be found not only by
altering the substances we bring with us
499
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,840
into space, but by altering ourselves?
500
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:21,460
We can conceive of entirely new kinds of
life forms based on energy.
501
00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:25,520
So food is the energy that fuels us.
502
00:40:25,850 --> 00:40:31,650
But it's a real possibility that as we
start to explore outer space, we may
503
00:40:31,650 --> 00:40:37,250
to genetically modify ourselves to alter
our diet so that we ingest different
504
00:40:37,250 --> 00:40:38,250
forms of energy.
505
00:40:39,050 --> 00:40:42,450
When we look back at these unusual foods
of the gods,
506
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:49,000
You have to wonder if that is not a
direction that we have been meant to go
507
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,940
become a space -faring race ourselves.
508
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,720
So everything has come full circle here,
from ancient time and these unusual
509
00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,060
foods of the gods to what we're doing
today.
510
00:41:02,540 --> 00:41:09,500
I think this entire phenomenon of
aliens, of food, of mysterious drinks,
511
00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:14,360
of the most important when it comes to
us engaging with them.
512
00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:19,920
And it may well be the case that that is
the primary way in which we can
513
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,400
actually have some sort of communion
with them.
514
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,240
As we evolved into a space -faring
species...
515
00:41:27,710 --> 00:41:32,250
will the concept and function of food
take on a new meaning for humanity?
516
00:41:33,550 --> 00:41:38,330
Perhaps the intriguing evidence of how
aliens may have survived on Earth will
517
00:41:38,330 --> 00:41:40,710
provide a roadmap to our own future.
518
00:41:41,390 --> 00:41:46,990
It will open up new possibilities and
new ways to sustain ourselves for much
519
00:41:46,990 --> 00:41:48,070
longer time spans.
520
00:41:48,670 --> 00:41:55,290
It will allow us to venture deeper into
space, colonize new worlds, and create
521
00:41:55,290 --> 00:42:00,790
new versions of ourselves, as we
continue to follow in the footsteps of
522
00:42:00,790 --> 00:42:01,910
alien ancestors.
