All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens S15E06 The World Before Time

Ancient stories that describe
civilizations long before our own.

Oral histories, they always talk about
the before the before, when gods and

people walked the land.

New discoveries that challenge
conventional history.

These Mesoamerican sites actually extend
the time frame for archaeology from 10

,000 years to tens of thousands of
years.

And monumental structures that suggest
that everything we think we know about

our planet is wrong.

The pyramid city is so deep in the
ocean, it must be 50 ,000 years old.

There's no question in my mind that pre
-existing civilizations on this planet

had high technology.

They had help from the
extraterrestrials.

But if human civilizations existed on
Earth, Tens of thousands of years ago,

what happened to them?

And could it be only a matter of time
before their fate becomes our own?

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.

A groundbreaking paper is published by
NASA scientist Gavin Schmidt and

astrophysicist Adam Frank that tackles
an intriguing question.

Might advanced civilizations have
existed on Earth in the remote past that

been completely lost to history?

This paper asks a very interesting
question, which is can we detect ancient

civilizations that are tens of thousands
of years old? And the intriguing answer

is really no.

Because all evidence of these
civilizations and remnants of them would

destroyed in that time frame.

The evidence for them would be hard to
find, they were saying.

Cataclysms and earth changes in the past
would have erased the evidence for

these civilizations.

You know, we're only a couple hundred
years into a technological civilization.

That's not a very long time frame in the
fossil record.

So if our civilization got wiped out, we
would possibly disappear from that

record in the future.

Once humankind is gone, all those
skyscrapers, all the

results of human civilization will be
gone after a thousand years.

So who knows what will be left after a
hundred thousand years, or in some

cases, Hundreds of thousands of years.

According to mainstream archaeology, the
Earth's earliest civilization emerged

in the area of modern -day Iraq around
3000 B .C.

But the surviving histories of many
ancient peoples tell of an earlier age,

where mortals and beings known as gods
lived side by side.

Oral histories have been around
generations upon generations upon

And they always talk about the before
the before, when gods and people walked

the land.

Hesiod was a Greek author who wrote that
there were five ages of man, the golden

age, the silver age, the bronze age, the
age of heroes, and the age of iron.

In the golden age, basically, people
were living beautiful lives along with

gods. And he thought this was real. He
didn't think this was a myth.

The Aztecs have other ages of man. Other
cultures have similar ways of breaking

up time and going back into deep time.

It's their understanding of their
origins.

When we look into the historical records
of the Greeks and the Aztecs, they're

often talking about ages.

Often ages that span many thousands of
years. And it opens up the possibility

that humanity, in fact, has gone through
intermittent periods of dark and light

for many, many thousands of years, for
millennia. And it's just part of our

experience here on Earth.

Stories of an age before modern humans
can even be found in early Judaic texts,

which describe a race of humans that
existed on the Earth long before the

biblical Adam.

The pre -Adamic civilizations are hinted
to in the Bible.

There is a curious genealogy, which is
portrayed in the book of Genesis,

36, which states, these are the kings
who reigned in the land of Edom prior

to there being a king in Israel.

There were intelligent, technologically
advanced civilizations of a humanoid

nature here on Earth prior to Adam.

According to Enochian literature, we
have a record of it being

advanced, even to the point of having
nuclear technology.

I think there's extensive knowledge from
many cultures, many traditions, that

something existed before our modern
human civilization developed. There

have been other civilizations on Earth
that predated us that were not.

the only technological civilization on
the planet, but just the latest one. But

there have been previous ones that
existed that were destroyed and that

become forgotten over time.

Could it be that these ancient stories
are more than just fanciful tales, and

that our planet has witnessed the rise
and fall of more than one so -called

advanced civilization?

We have stories of the golden era when
the so -called gods still mingled among

men. So you have to wonder what gods and
what time and who were they?

According to mainstream archaeology, the
gods were nothing but a figment of our

ancestors' imagination. And I
wholeheartedly disagree with this

ancestors were very clear in
distinguishing gods of nature.

and gods who actually descended from the
sky physically and taught mankind in

various disciplines.

So if there's a prehistoric
civilization, what I'm saying is that

did come from the extraterrestrials.

A central idea behind what is known as
ancient astronaut theory is the notion

that extraterrestrials came to Earth in
the distant past and altered the course

of humanity.

If the various stories of ancient
civilizations are true, including those

concerning God living among mortals,
could it mean that alien visitations may

have happened more than once?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe that
not only is such a profound notion

possible, but that evidence can be found
by examining the stories of the

Sumerian civilization that emerged 5
,000 years ago and the beings they

The Anunnaki.

The term Anunnaki means those who from
the heavens came.

And our ancestors thought they were
being visited by these divine, magical

beings.

In the ancient Sumerian texts, they were
described as bringing knowledge and

science. They were often depicted as
bird -type people.

Curiously, a similar figure to the bird
-headed Anunnaki exists in cave art

discovered in Lascaux, France, which
dates back to roughly 16 ,000 BC.

In the Lascaux cave is a deep shaft with
an incredible pictorial

story on the wall.

It shows a huge bull -like creature,
next to which is a birdman, a figure

with a bird's beak.

The birdman of Lasso was considered to
be a shamanistic figure.

But we have to ask the question, could
this be something more? Could this be an

otherworldly being, an extraterrestrial
being who interacted with this

prehistoric culture in France?

In 2019...

Archaeologists in Indonesia announced
that they discovered rock art in a cave

the island of Sulawesi that they believe
was created at least 44 ,000 years ago.

If true, it is the oldest pictorial
record of storytelling ever found.

And curiously, among the images painted
on the cave walls is a depiction of a

human -like figure with a bird's head.

The paintings depict a group of eight
humanoid hunters approaching a group of

animals, and one of them appears to have
a very large bird beak.

44 ,000 years ago.

We have these birdmen in Indonesia 18
,000 years ago. They're in France. So

are the chances of these birdmen figures
being just coincidentally

created in these different areas?

We have to ask ourselves, are these
birdmen actually representatives of the

Anunnaki? who were extraterrestrials who
came all over the world in prehistory.

But if, as ancient astronaut theorists
insist, the Earth played host to

advanced civilizations long before our
own, what happened to them?

And why is there no hard evidence to
prove they existed?

For many, the answer can be found hiding
in plain sight.

And the hard evidence exists in the form
of objects.

made using the only substance that can
stand the test of time.

Stone.

Boston, Massachusetts, 2020.

Aerospace engineer and satellite imaging
expert Dr. Mark Carlotto has spent the

past three years investigating some of
the world's most impressive

archaeological sites.

After closely examining each site's
precise geographical orientation,

He has come to the incredible conclusion
that many ancient structures provide

evidence of being far older than has
been suggested by mainstream archaeology

and were likely built tens of thousands
of years ago.

If you look at many monuments today,
they're often built with respect

to the cardinal directions.

So knowledge of the earth, of astronomy,
of the heavens is very important in

alignment.

Because most of the world's megalithic
structures were built so that they would

be in precise alignment with the Earth's
cardinal directions of north, south,

east, and west, Dr. Carlotto's
investigation had a breakthrough after

that Teotihuacan, the ancient complex
north of Mexico City, didn't properly

up. An extraordinary possibility then
occurred to him.

Perhaps the structure was built tens of
thousands of years earlier.

when the Earth's poles were not in their
current locations.

It was an idea that was not as far
-fetched as it seemed.

In the 1950s, Harvard -educated
scientist Charles Hapgood proposed a

known as crustal displacement, whereby,
at certain moments in history, the

Earth's crust suddenly and rapidly
shifts positions, and in the process,

the positions of the North and South
Poles.

Plate tectonics have plates moving
slowly as individual separate plates.

Charles had a theory that basically,
instead of a slow, steady movement, he

really interested in sudden, quick
movements of the crust as a whole.

What Hapgood was saying was that the
thin crust of the Earth can slip forward

the mantle, and therefore the North Pole
and South Pole can shift somewhat.

And this causes huge cataclysmic
changes.

Hapwood's analysis is based on climate
data, looking at patterns of climate

change, changes in glacial patterns, ice
ages, and then correlating those

patterns with what he believed was the
cause, which was the shift of the poles.

Hapgood believed that over the last 100
,000 years or so that there were three

previous locations of the North Pole.
And when I looked at the imagery of

Mesoamerican sites and realized that
these pyramids and temples were not

to North, I thought perhaps they were
aligned to former North Poles that

had discovered.

Hapgood actually sent this theory to
Albert Einstein, who endorsed it.

And when Einstein died, he actually had
Hapgood's book open on his death.

Dr. Carlotto believes that some of the
world's most impressive ancient

structures not only confirm Hapgood's
theory, but radically alter our

understanding of intelligent life on
planet Earth.

So my process for analyzing these images
starts with a geographically registered

image where north is up.

So, for example, here we have
Teotihuacan, and this is where my search

And let me just highlight the fourth
side so we can define a direction

the north.

As you can see in this image, the
pyramid is not oriented to the cardinal

directions, north, south, east, and
west.

To test his theory, Dr. Carlotta was
curious to find out if other ancient

structures shared Teotihuacan's same
geographic anomaly.

What I ended up doing was developing an
algorithm as the basis for analyzing

their alignment.

So now, as we'll see, when we zoom out,
we'll find that Tehuacan is aligned to

other sites nearby.

And I'll show you that by zooming out
here. And this shows a number of other

sites in the Valley of Mexico that are
aligned in the same general direction.

All of these lines are meridians that
lead to a point east of Hudson Bay.

Incredibly, these sites align with a
location.

that Hapgood proposed was once the North
Pole.

Hapgood believed the Hudson Bay Pole
existed 12 ,000 to 18 ,000 years ago. So

these sites, by virtue of their
alignment to this particular pole, could

old.

If Dr.

Carlotto's analysis is correct, it would
date the construction of Teotihuacan to

at least 10 ,000 B .C., which is 10 ,000
years older than mainstream

archaeologists propose.

And he contends that other ancient sites
were built even earlier.

One of the most enigmatic sites on Earth
is Baalbek, the Temple of Jupiter in

Lebanon.

As you can see, this site is oriented to
a point in northern Greenland that

Hapgood believed was a former location
of the North Pole.

Based on Hapgood's theory, Baalbek's
alignment to northern Greenland would

it to a staggering 50 ,000 years ago.

Another site nearby, the Western Wall in
the city of Jerusalem, is aligned in

the direction of the Greenland Pole.

And let's take a look at a third site,
the Parthenon in Athens.

We believe that the original structures
at these sites, in other words, the

original sites themselves were
established as long ago as 50 ,000

According to Dr.

Carlotto, these are still not the oldest
structures that exist on Earth.

Based on Hapgood's theory, the North
Pole was located in the Bering Sea more

than 100 ,000 years ago.

So this is the temple of the six
monoliths at Oyetid Hambo, and it's the

Temple. Normally, Sun Temples are
aligned to the cardinal directions.

They have an eastern side that faces the
rising sun on the equinox.

Here, the Sun Temple is tilted
approximately 45 degrees.

An alignment to the current pole doesn't
make any sense.

But if we now change our reference and
look at an earlier pole, this pole

thought to have existed in the Bering
Sea, then the orientation of the Sun

makes perfect sense.

So what's significant about this
analysis is that it actually extends the

frame for archaeology from 10 ,000 years
to tens of thousands of years to

perhaps 100 ,000 years or more.

So it's my contention that the five
ages...

of the Aztecs, the five ages of the
Greeks, and the previous and current

locations of the pole are all
correlated.

They all tell the same story.

The idea that cataclysmic pole shifts
actually occurred is startling.

These structures can be much older than
archaeologists admit.

And ultimately...

Hundreds, thousands of years later,
people found them again and started

them. It's a fascinating thought.

Are the remnants of long -lost
civilizations still standing today?

Civilizations that existed on Earth as
much as 100 ,000 years ago, but

misinterpreted by scholars as being much
more recent.

Perhaps the proof can be found by
examining physical evidence of ancient

writings.

dating back more than 10 ,000 years.

Boston, Massachusetts, February 1st,
2019.

Geologist Dr. Robert Schock and his
colleague Dr.

Manu Safesadeh announce a discovery that
has the potential to radically alter

the currently accepted timeline of human
history.

They believe they have found
hieroglyphic writing at the 12 ,000

archaeological site of Gobekli Tepe in
Turkey.

If true, it would predate the earliest
known writing by thousands of years.

At Gobekli Tepe, I'm convinced now that
we have evidence of actual, what we can

only call writing, symbolic notation,
writing on some of the pillars. We're

still trying to interpret them.

If this analysis is correct, they had
writing. And according to standard

conventional thinking up until now,
writing and literacy did not exist

on Earth until 6 ,000 or 7 ,000 years
after Quebec -Les -Tapes.

And what we see at Quebec -Les -Tapes, I
don't believe that's the beginning.

Could the strange symbols found on the
stone pillars at Quebec -Les -Tapes?

represent a writing system that was
developed by a long -lost civilization,

that thrived more than 12 ,000 years
ago.

As far as ancient astronaut theorists
are concerned, physical evidence of lost

civilizations has been found that they
believe to be much, much older.

Pinar del Rio, Cuba, 2001.

Canadian explorer Polina Zalitsky and
her team are conducting an oceanic

off the coast when they detect curious
formations more than 2 ,000 feet

underwater.

They found, when they were taking
images, some kind of pyramidical

other structures.

There were circular areas. There was
what appeared to be some kind of city

down there.

It was about two square kilometers in
size.

So this is something quite astonishing
if this is a reality.

This pyramid city is so deep in the
ocean that geologists and archaeologists

saying that it must be 50 ,000 years old
for sea levels to be that low.

50 ,000 years old?

Might the formations found off the coast
of Cuba corroborate the findings of Dr.

Mark Carlotto, who suggests... that the
alignments of Baalbek, the Greek

Parthenon, and numerous other ancient
structures date back some 50 ,000 years.

We've got ruins all over the world that
are underwater.

Ruins have been found underwater in Lake
Titicaca.

The formation of Yonaguni off the
southern Japanese island of Yonaguni.

We have underwater cities around India,
such as Dwarka, which is the famous home

of Krishna. And Indian archaeologists
for years thought it was just a mythical

city until they started finding these
underwater ruins off of Gujarat. There's

over 200 known sunken cities in the
Mediterranean.

So much of the evidence for...

early civilizations on planet Earth
would be underwater today.

So they were obviously built at a time
when the ocean levels and the

seas and the continents were quite
different than they are today.

All of this evidence tells us that there
were extraordinary civilizations and

cultures that have been lost to the
story of the world until now.

Although many of the world's known
underwater ruins still await excavation

to the difficulty of reaching them and
retrieving artifacts, it is hoped that

divers will someday be able to examine
these structures and find symbols carved

into them that match those found at
Gobekli Tepe.

But as far as Dr. Robert Schott is
concerned, the wait may already be over.

In 1991,

He ignited a firestorm of controversy
when he suggested the Great Sphinx of

was built long before the age of the
pharaohs.

At that time, all the Egyptologists
agreed that the Sphinx had been carved

2500 BC.

That was carved from scratch from the
limestone bedrock.

I'm a geologist. I went there. I looked
at the Sphinx within the first couple of

minutes and knew there was something
amiss.

What we did is we looked at subsurface
weathering, mineralogical changes, to

figure out when the rock was carved.

I came to the conclusion that the Sphinx
goes back not just a few thousand

years, but to the end of the last ice
age, so to about 10 ,000 B .C. or so.

Key to Dr. Schott's analysis was the
type of erosion he observed in the base

the Sphinx.

If you look at the body of the Sphinx
itself, I, as a geologist, noticed

immediately that the core body is eroded
not by wind and sand, as you expect for

the Sahara Desert, but it is water
precipitation.

Water erosion?

In the Sahara Desert?

If this analysis is correct, what could
have caused it?

There's a huge increase in global
temperatures at 9700 BC.

This correlates with the melting of the
glaciers, rising of sea levels.

But when you have all this water being
put into the atmosphere, the atmosphere

can only hold so much water.

It comes down as precipitation, it comes
down as torrential rains.

But if, as ancient astronaut theorists
believe, The great Egyptian megalithic

structures were built more than 10 ,000
years ago.

What happened to the advanced
civilization that created them?

Perhaps the answer is closer than we
think and can be found embedded in the

pages of the Holy Bible.

One of the world's foremost experts on
cuneiform writing and a curator at the

British Museum, publishes a book titled
The Ark Before Noah.

In it, Finkel translates a Sumerian
tablet that dates back 3 ,700 years and

rewrites the biblical story of Noah and
the great flood.

The book sparks a global sensation.

When this tablet came across the desk to
me and I realized,

clearly how important it was. It was one
of those heart -stopping moments.

Everybody in the world is interested in
Noah's flood and where it might have

come from, so it's a really big thing in
the Bible.

God decided, because human race was so
sinful and wicked, to destroy

and at the last minute relented enough
to inform Noah that he has to build a

boat really fast and put all the animals
in it and shut the doors.

Then afterwards, life could continue
when the waters went down.

But the tablet is at least a thousand
years older than the story in the Bible.

So, of course, this means that the
question of where the story came from

whole different explanation.

There's a similar story in India.

King Manu was warned by a fish that
there would be a great flood.

the king built a great boat and
survived.

In an Aztec version, a sacred couple
hide in a hollow tree with a little corn

and somehow manage to survive the
deluge.

Other versions come from Irish legend,
Norse lore, also from China.

This is a terribly important motif.

We're used to history being something
that's written down in books, but for

of the human experience, History was
told in stories shared around campfires.

It doesn't mean that it's all made up.
And I think it's one of those moments

where the myths are telling us about the
truth of the past.

A thin layer of ash buried 50 feet deep
in the soil.

It's like a layer of black ash.

This suggests there was a great
complication that took place.

And it dates to between 11 ,000 and 13
,000 years ago.

Over the next few years, the ash layer,
dubbed Ucela Horizon, is found all over

the world.

The Ocella Horizon is found actually in
ten countries on four continents, in

Australia, in South Africa, and other
parts of Europe and India.

And this deposit of ash around the world
is evidence of a

worldwide cataclysm. Could this layer of
ash really be evidence of a devastating

global event, like the one known as the
Great Flood, for instance?

Geologist Dr. Robert Schock believes the
cataclysmic event and the resulting

layer of ash was created by a
devastating solar flare, a sudden flash

increased brightness on the sun.

Based on my analysis of the evidence,
there was a major, major solar outburst.

This caused in a flash the glaciers to
melt.

Virtually instantaneously, it caused
evaporation of water.

We have physical evidence of this in the
geological record.

To many, the Ucela Horizon is the
strongest evidence yet discovered that

supports stories of the Great Flood.

For ancient astronaut theorists, proof
of a global flood.

could offer some of the most compelling
evidence that extraterrestrial

intervention occurred on Earth in the
distant past.

In the Babylonian poem, The Epic of
Gilgamesh, the hero, Adnapishtim, is

a coming flood by the god Enki.

In Vedic texts, King Manu is alerted by
Lord Vishnu, who appeared in the form of

a fish.

And in the biblical tale, Noah, is
warned by God.

The common denominator in the flood
myths around the world is that there was

otherworldly being, an extraterrestrial
being who is providing knowledge to

certain humans of what is to come. This
tells us that there is definitely an

extraterrestrial connection.

If advanced civilizations existed on
Earth that were lost to history, could

story of the flood explain what
happened?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and
suggest that further evidence can be

found within the Dead Sea Scrolls,
discovered in a cave in Jerusalem in

Some Bedouin shepherds came across these
jars and inside these

were ancient texts.

Very quickly archaeologists and
linguists started to realize that these

contained Jewish religious literature
that were of incredible importance, not

just to the Jewish people, but to the
world as a whole.

Among the texts is a story that
describes the birth of Noah that doesn't

in the Old Testament.

Noah is described of having skin that is
whiter than snow, of having hair that

is whiter than the whitest of wool, and
Noah's eyes were brighter.

Then the son.

Now, when Noah was born, the father,
Lamech, went to his father, Methuselah,

says, this is not my son. What happened
here? And Methuselah then says, he may

have come from a different place where
man has met the angels.

Now, we need to first figure out.

What is the kernel of truth?

And in my opinion, it certainly was not
a giant ship made out of wood. And you

combine that with Noah, who looks very
otherworldly. Well, there's your answer.

Could a worldwide flood explain the
disappearance of an advanced

that preceded our own?

And if so, were there survivors that
kept the memory of this pre -flood world

alive? through oral traditions.

Ancient astronaut theorists believe that
not only did an advanced civilization

exist for many centuries before the
Great Flood, but that remnants of its

technologies can be found all over the
world.

Jerusalem, 2016

Researchers with the Israel Antiquities
Authority studying the Dead Sea Scrolls

make a major discovery.

Using state -of -the -art imaging
technology, they uncover a passage of

text previously unseen by the naked eye.

These researchers have discovered a new
passage in the Dead Sea Scrolls that

indicates that Noah's Ark wasn't in the
shape of a ship at all, but was in the

shape of a pyramid.

Curiously, this is not the first time
that Noah's Ark has been depicted as a

pyramid. In the 15th century, Italian
artist Lorenzo Ghiberti created his

masterpiece, a series of ten panels that
depict scenes from the Old

Testament.

The Italian sculptor Lorenzo Ghiberti
was selected to create the doors going

into the new Florence Cathedral, the Il
Domo.

These doors are called the Gates of
Paradise.

And something that is very extraordinary
about them is that in one instance, he

shows Noah's Ark as a pyramid that
resembles the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Is it possible that Lorenzo, while he
was working for the church, learned

the true nature of Noah's Ark and then
depicted it in his sculpture?

According to historians, the Pyramid of
Djoser, constructed in 2600 BC, was the

first pyramid ever built in Egypt, and
the Great Pyramid was built 100 years

later. But the dating of the Great
Pyramid, and the two smaller pyramids

stand next to it, is a point of major
contention, with many researchers

suggesting they were built much earlier.

The Step Pyramid of Dozer is considered
the world's first pyramid.

It's a six -tiered pyramid built very
near the Giza Plateau.

Egyptologists often assume that the
older pyramids are less

well -created and smaller, such as
Dozer's pyramid, and that ultimately

building got better and better until
they finally built the Great Pyramid as

their final construction masterpiece.

But it may be completely reversed of
that, and that the Great Pyramid, which

by far the best of all the pyramids, is
actually the oldest of the pyramids.

Two and a half thousand B .C., according
to archaeology, humans made the Great

Pyramid. Now, in old writings,
especially in the book of Enoch and in

-called Hittat, which is a book from an
Arabian writer, they say the Great

Pyramid was constructed before the Great
Flood.

What if the Great Pyramid existed
perhaps even for millennia before the

Pyramid? Then the Egyptians come along,
discover it, and decide, hey, maybe we

can make one of those too. And that's
when they build the Zoser Pyramid.

Perhaps the most similar common motif or
style is the pyramidal shape

that seems to exist throughout the
world. In Egypt, in Mesoamerica, in

giant earthen mounds in the shape of
pyramids.

Why pyramids?

Is it possible that pyramids were built
by cultures all around the world because

they were trying to recreate much older
structures that survived a great flood?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes.

And some researchers have even suggested
that those pyramids that were built by

pre -flood civilizations represent a
form of lost technology.

In his 1998 book, The Giza Power Plant,
noted machinist and engineer Christopher

Dunn, proposed that the shape, positions
of chambers, and proximity to

underground rivers indicate the Great
Pyramids of Giza functioned as power

plants.

I personally think that the pyramids
were some kind of energy generators.

And here we have the strange idea that
the Ark itself wasn't a boat -shaped

thing, but it was actually a... So is it
possible that whoever built the

pyramids of Egypt was doing so to try to
preserve their technology?

For ancient astronaut theorists, the
possibility that the Great Pyramid

technological purpose presents an
intriguing question.

If a lost civilization was able to build
massive power plants,

perhaps with the assistance of
extraterrestrials.

Could they also have had the means to
escape a world -ending cataclysm by

leaving the Earth?

Mountain View, California.

January 16, 2018.

Geneticist Eric Jarvis and data
management company DNA Nexus announced

create a biological database of every
vertebrate species on Earth.

The development of this new genetic DNA
database is essentially a

modern -day version of Noah's Ark, where
all of these animals,

their DNA is selected and kept in these
special databases.

And in the future, we could resurrect
any of these animals if we had to, if

there had been some mass extinction on
the planet.

But many researchers are hopeful that by
the time a global cataclysm strikes,

humanity will have developed the means
to transport this modern -day ark into

space and seek out a new home planet.

We don't have...

Forever on this planet, let's say our
resources are running out. Let's say

something else happens. Or let's even
say we know and we can calculate this,

that 252 years from now, we will be met
a giant collision with an asteroid.

Well, we better do something about that.
So we better start working on that

today.

In 2018.

A company named Axiom Space revealed
plans to put a hotel in Earth's orbit.

Meanwhile, NASA is preparing to send
astronauts to Mars.

Considering humanity's current efforts
to venture into space, if advanced

civilizations existed in Earth's distant
past, might they have done the same?

Cultures all around the world talk about
humans deciding on their own to leave

the planet. They call this ascension.

In many of the blood myths, the common
theme is that it had been prophesied and

people knew it was coming.

Maybe their answer was to migrate into
space.

There are a number of craters on the
moon that have what look like pyramids

right in the middle of the crater.

Mars apparently has similar pyramid
structures on it. Maybe they were

the super civilization of the past, just
like we're going to do in the near

future.

Could it be that pyramids and other
structures were built on the moon and

not by beings who are coming to planet
Earth, but by those who are fleeing it?

Did Earth's refugees?

build these structures to sustain them
while they sought out a new home.

As far as ancient astronaut theorists
are concerned, this notion presents

another, perhaps even more profound,
possibility.

With modern UFO activity, you have to
ask yourself, are these UFOs from this

ancient civilization that left before
the cataclysm, and now they've come

Is it possible that civilizations that
inhabited the Earth tens of thousands of

years ago did not die off, but survived
on another world?

And if so, might they be capable of
returning to their home planet as alien

visitors?

Perhaps as we venture deeper into space,
we will make contact not with

extraterrestrials, but with mankind's
ancient ancestors.
