1
00:00:01,667 --> 00:00:07,088
NARRATOR:
Taurus, Leo, Gemini, Aries.
2
00:00:07,089 --> 00:00:10,925
Are the constellations
of the night sky merely meant
3
00:00:10,926 --> 00:00:12,553
to map the stars,
4
00:00:12,554 --> 00:00:16,264
or could they be something more?
5
00:00:16,265 --> 00:00:20,393
JONATHAN YOUNG: In ancient times,
there was a fortune-telling quality
6
00:00:20,394 --> 00:00:22,270
to this vast array.
7
00:00:22,271 --> 00:00:25,357
MITCH HOROWITZ: Our ancient
ancestors came to feel
8
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:29,861
that these constellations
were windows on earthly events.
9
00:00:29,862 --> 00:00:34,407
ANDREW COLLINS: Is it possible that
all of these different constellations
10
00:00:34,408 --> 00:00:37,118
convey alien messages inbound
11
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:39,705
from somewhere else
in the galaxy?
12
00:00:39,706 --> 00:00:42,874
NARRATOR: Was knowledge
of the constellations
13
00:00:42,875 --> 00:00:47,254
given to ancient people
by extraterrestrial visitors?
14
00:00:47,255 --> 00:00:50,590
And do they contain a code
that, once deciphered,
15
00:00:50,591 --> 00:00:54,428
could unlock the mysteries
of the entire universe?
16
00:00:54,429 --> 00:00:58,431
DAVID CHILDRESS: You have to
wonder if these star signs
17
00:00:58,432 --> 00:01:00,392
aren't some code
that has been put there
18
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:03,563
for us to make contact
with extraterrestrials.
19
00:01:06,274 --> 00:01:08,274
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
20
00:01:08,275 --> 00:01:11,152
in the universe.
21
00:01:11,153 --> 00:01:14,281
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
22
00:01:15,533 --> 00:01:18,117
It demands
we question everything
23
00:01:18,118 --> 00:01:20,286
we have ever been taught.
24
00:01:20,287 --> 00:01:23,956
The evidence is all around us.
25
00:01:23,957 --> 00:01:28,128
The future is
right before our eyes.
26
00:01:28,129 --> 00:01:31,048
We are not alone.
27
00:01:31,049 --> 00:01:34,009
We have never been alone.
28
00:01:43,019 --> 00:01:44,686
Somerset, England.
29
00:01:45,771 --> 00:01:48,649
1927.
30
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:51,943
49-year-old artist
Katharine Maltwood
31
00:01:51,944 --> 00:01:53,986
has been commissioned
to draw a map
32
00:01:53,987 --> 00:01:57,615
outlining the adventures
of the knights of King Arthur.
33
00:01:57,616 --> 00:02:01,494
Thanks to the recent invention
of the airplane,
34
00:02:01,495 --> 00:02:04,497
she is able to obtain
the earliest aerial photographs
35
00:02:04,498 --> 00:02:07,167
of the area.
36
00:02:07,168 --> 00:02:10,169
While studying them,
she suddenly notices
37
00:02:10,170 --> 00:02:13,340
a figure in the landscape.
38
00:02:13,341 --> 00:02:17,845
She noticed what appeared to be
a landscape lion.
39
00:02:17,846 --> 00:02:21,014
It just sort of reared up
at her, quite literally.
40
00:02:24,561 --> 00:02:26,520
And she examined this
and wondered whether
41
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:31,316
this was the Leo figure
of the zodiac.
42
00:02:31,317 --> 00:02:35,946
Then she saw, next to it,
this large, giant figure,
43
00:02:35,947 --> 00:02:40,658
which she felt was part
of some kind of collective
44
00:02:40,659 --> 00:02:43,036
of landscape effigies
45
00:02:43,037 --> 00:02:45,830
that had been laid down
by ancient hands.
46
00:02:45,831 --> 00:02:50,669
And one by one, she found
that they actually represented
47
00:02:50,670 --> 00:02:53,672
the 12 signs of the zodiac.
48
00:02:53,673 --> 00:02:56,049
HUGH NEWMAN:
Glastonbury Zodiac is so large
49
00:02:56,050 --> 00:02:58,551
that you can only really see it
from the sky.
50
00:02:58,552 --> 00:03:03,055
The zodiac signs are marked
by rivers, streams,
51
00:03:03,056 --> 00:03:06,059
roads, field boundaries.
52
00:03:06,060 --> 00:03:08,895
Pisces is actually two fishes,
53
00:03:08,896 --> 00:03:12,608
and one of the fishes is
Wearyall Hill.
54
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,567
The other side of the road,
we have Aries.
55
00:03:14,568 --> 00:03:18,405
They were actually creating
certain parts of the zodiac
56
00:03:18,406 --> 00:03:21,699
as earth works, as shapes,
deliberately.
57
00:03:21,700 --> 00:03:25,328
NARRATOR: The shapes look
so much like man-made features
58
00:03:25,329 --> 00:03:27,914
that Maltwood published
a book about them
59
00:03:27,915 --> 00:03:31,376
and called it
the Temple of the Stars.
60
00:03:31,377 --> 00:03:34,545
While it was received
with much skepticism,
61
00:03:34,546 --> 00:03:37,799
proponents say there is
ample evidence around the region
62
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,426
to suggest these formations
have been created
63
00:03:40,427 --> 00:03:42,429
by artificial means
64
00:03:42,430 --> 00:03:45,264
and that almost every field
and hill in the area
65
00:03:45,265 --> 00:03:47,559
has been modified in some way.
66
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,270
One of the most important ones
is called Ponter's Ball.
67
00:03:51,271 --> 00:03:56,651
Now, this is a large, mile-long,
pointed earth work,
68
00:03:56,652 --> 00:04:01,281
which is exactly where
the Capricorn effigy's horn is
69
00:04:01,282 --> 00:04:02,950
in the zodiac.
70
00:04:04,868 --> 00:04:07,537
NARRATOR: Even more
significant is a massive hill
71
00:04:07,538 --> 00:04:09,622
called Glastonbury Tor.
72
00:04:09,623 --> 00:04:14,460
Many researchers are convinced
that this is a man-made feature.
73
00:04:14,461 --> 00:04:18,131
And based on its shape,
some have even suggested
74
00:04:18,132 --> 00:04:20,968
it could be hiding
an ancient pyramid.
75
00:04:22,470 --> 00:04:25,304
Glastonbury Tor is
the most significant part
76
00:04:25,305 --> 00:04:27,181
of the whole Somerset landscape.
77
00:04:27,182 --> 00:04:31,477
On top of it,
we have St. Michael's Tower,
78
00:04:31,478 --> 00:04:34,563
a 14th-century construction.
79
00:04:34,564 --> 00:04:39,277
But the main site itself
has terraces carved around it,
80
00:04:39,278 --> 00:04:41,655
like a labyrinth coming up
from ground level
81
00:04:41,656 --> 00:04:43,533
all the way to the top.
82
00:04:45,826 --> 00:04:51,289
If there really is
a labyrinthian design marked out
83
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:53,292
on the slopes
of Glastonbury Tor,
84
00:04:53,293 --> 00:04:56,837
it's not just pre-Roman;
It must be pre-Celtic.
85
00:04:56,838 --> 00:05:00,256
Uh, it must even date back
to the megalithic times.
86
00:05:00,257 --> 00:05:01,967
WILLIAM HENRY:
The question becomes, well,
87
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:04,970
if you can't see the zodiac
from ground level,
88
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:07,638
then how is it possible
that these ancient designers
89
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:09,390
could see it from the air?
90
00:05:09,391 --> 00:05:12,811
This suggests that Glastonbury
was designed with people
91
00:05:12,812 --> 00:05:16,230
that had some kind of
transportation that took them
92
00:05:16,231 --> 00:05:18,525
into the air of Glastonbury,
93
00:05:18,526 --> 00:05:20,568
be it an extraterrestrial craft
94
00:05:20,569 --> 00:05:23,821
or maybe some other type
of a craft.
95
00:05:23,822 --> 00:05:27,700
It's only until we ourselves
have the ability of flight
96
00:05:27,701 --> 00:05:30,369
and could do aerial surveys,
97
00:05:30,370 --> 00:05:34,749
and then we could see
this giant zodiac
98
00:05:34,750 --> 00:05:37,753
on the landscape
around Glastonbury.
99
00:05:37,754 --> 00:05:43,008
So, in some ways, perhaps it was
left for us like an ancient code
100
00:05:43,009 --> 00:05:45,011
to find in the future.
101
00:05:46,721 --> 00:05:48,888
NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists suggest
102
00:05:48,889 --> 00:05:52,392
that to solve the mystery
of the Glastonbury Zodiac,
103
00:05:52,393 --> 00:05:54,936
we must first solve
another mystery:
104
00:05:54,937 --> 00:05:57,564
That of the zodiac itself.
105
00:05:58,649 --> 00:06:00,232
In ancient times,
106
00:06:00,233 --> 00:06:03,070
the night sky
was a dazzling mystery.
107
00:06:03,071 --> 00:06:06,573
This vast array of stars.
108
00:06:06,574 --> 00:06:08,616
And gradually,
there was an understanding
109
00:06:08,617 --> 00:06:11,035
that certain things
could come from this.
110
00:06:11,036 --> 00:06:14,205
You could read it as a calendar.
111
00:06:14,206 --> 00:06:16,708
You would know
when to plant your crops.
112
00:06:16,709 --> 00:06:19,629
You would know when
the floods might come.
113
00:06:21,588 --> 00:06:23,924
NARRATOR: Connected to
the tracking of the stars
114
00:06:23,925 --> 00:06:26,301
was the practice
of drawing lines between them
115
00:06:26,302 --> 00:06:28,220
to create constellations,
116
00:06:28,221 --> 00:06:30,931
which exist
in the historical records
117
00:06:30,932 --> 00:06:34,725
of humanity's earliest
civilizations.
118
00:06:34,726 --> 00:06:37,604
It also appears
that these civilizations
119
00:06:37,605 --> 00:06:39,773
had some form
of what is referred to
120
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:41,941
as the "zodiac wheel."
121
00:06:41,942 --> 00:06:45,611
COLLINS: The ancients
decided that they would
122
00:06:45,612 --> 00:06:48,614
create a division of the heavens
123
00:06:48,615 --> 00:06:52,119
based upon the movement
of the Sun
124
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,621
through one yearly cycle.
125
00:06:54,622 --> 00:06:57,249
And as it does this,
it passes through
126
00:06:57,250 --> 00:07:00,001
12 different constellations.
127
00:07:00,002 --> 00:07:02,962
And these become
the zodiacal signs
128
00:07:02,963 --> 00:07:04,965
that we know today.
129
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:08,135
These ideas go back
to Babylonian times
130
00:07:08,136 --> 00:07:11,805
and even the Sumerians,
as much as 5,000 years ago.
131
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:17,184
NARRATOR: In many ancient
cultures, it was thought
132
00:07:17,185 --> 00:07:20,855
that the constellations affected
not only harvests and weather,
133
00:07:20,856 --> 00:07:23,150
but daily life as well.
134
00:07:23,151 --> 00:07:25,818
While this may seem like
a primitive notion,
135
00:07:25,819 --> 00:07:28,821
it is very much alive and well,
136
00:07:28,822 --> 00:07:31,116
kept relevant
by billions of people
137
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:34,035
who check their horoscopes
every day.
138
00:07:34,036 --> 00:07:37,664
In modern times, there's this
distinction between astronomy,
139
00:07:37,665 --> 00:07:39,874
which is the observation
of celestial movements,
140
00:07:39,875 --> 00:07:43,169
and astrology,
which is the interpretation
141
00:07:43,170 --> 00:07:46,006
of those celestial bodies
and movements.
142
00:07:46,007 --> 00:07:48,799
In ancient times,
the astronomers and astrologers
143
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,845
tended to be one
and the same person.
144
00:07:51,846 --> 00:07:54,181
Astrology didn't originate
in one place,
145
00:07:54,182 --> 00:07:56,140
but for some reason,
just about every culture
146
00:07:56,141 --> 00:07:58,309
seems to have made
this observation
147
00:07:58,310 --> 00:08:00,686
that there's a correlation
between celestial movements
148
00:08:00,687 --> 00:08:02,063
and earthly events,
149
00:08:02,064 --> 00:08:04,816
which is the basic premise
of astrology.
150
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:08,486
NARRATOR: While astrology is
dismissed by modern science,
151
00:08:08,487 --> 00:08:11,614
it is estimated
that over 90% of the world's
152
00:08:11,615 --> 00:08:16,369
adult population today is aware
of their astrological sign.
153
00:08:16,370 --> 00:08:19,830
In the modern world,
many people regard this
154
00:08:19,831 --> 00:08:23,210
as nothing more than
a topic of conversation.
155
00:08:23,211 --> 00:08:26,712
But in the ancient world,
the zodiac wheel was seen
156
00:08:26,713 --> 00:08:29,883
as a way to communicate
with the gods.
157
00:08:29,884 --> 00:08:32,301
The ancient Greeks
conceptualized astrology
158
00:08:32,302 --> 00:08:35,388
as the language of the gods,
or the heavenly script,
159
00:08:35,389 --> 00:08:38,099
as if the movements
of the planets across the sky
160
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,228
and through the signs of
the zodiac or the constellations
161
00:08:41,229 --> 00:08:43,229
had some sort
of significant message
162
00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:45,231
that was being conveyed
by the gods
163
00:08:45,232 --> 00:08:49,069
about life on Earth
and about individuals.
164
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:52,571
NARRATOR: The ancient people
associated the constellations
165
00:08:52,572 --> 00:08:56,743
with important historical
and mythological events,
166
00:08:56,744 --> 00:09:00,247
and even with the creation
of humanity itself.
167
00:09:00,248 --> 00:09:03,582
HENRY: The ancients began
assigning animals as symbols
168
00:09:03,583 --> 00:09:06,835
for this journey
through the sky.
169
00:09:06,836 --> 00:09:09,839
In ancient Sumeria,
they identified Aquarius
170
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,258
with a god being, Enki,
171
00:09:12,259 --> 00:09:15,595
who was the creator god
in the Sumerian tradition.
172
00:09:15,596 --> 00:09:19,014
According to the Sumerians,
it was Enki who came to Earth
173
00:09:19,015 --> 00:09:22,061
and created humanity
in its present form.
174
00:09:23,104 --> 00:09:24,771
Now, this is very interesting,
175
00:09:24,772 --> 00:09:26,773
because these types
of descriptions appear
176
00:09:26,774 --> 00:09:29,316
over and over again
where people connect
177
00:09:29,317 --> 00:09:32,195
with these particular
star systems or constellations,
178
00:09:32,196 --> 00:09:37,075
in various mythic
and historical traditions.
179
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:39,287
That cannot be by coincidence.
180
00:09:41,288 --> 00:09:44,124
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
extraterrestrial visitors
181
00:09:44,125 --> 00:09:47,042
are responsible
for so many separate cultures
182
00:09:47,043 --> 00:09:49,796
not only connecting
the same groups of stars
183
00:09:49,797 --> 00:09:51,590
in the exact same way,
184
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:53,633
but for revering
these constellations
185
00:09:53,634 --> 00:09:56,595
as sources of power and wisdom?
186
00:09:56,596 --> 00:09:58,680
Could these pictures in the sky
187
00:09:58,681 --> 00:10:00,849
have a far more profound
significance
188
00:10:00,850 --> 00:10:03,183
than we are aware of today?
189
00:10:03,184 --> 00:10:07,439
And if so, might the Glastonbury
Zodiac provide the key
190
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,649
to recovering
this lost knowledge?
191
00:10:10,650 --> 00:10:13,820
Curiously,
Glastonbury has been a hotbed
192
00:10:13,821 --> 00:10:16,947
of UFO sightings for decades.
193
00:10:16,948 --> 00:10:18,825
One of the most famous
encounters
194
00:10:18,826 --> 00:10:24,289
was reported by author Anthony
Roberts and his wife in 1969.
195
00:10:25,332 --> 00:10:27,334
And they were driving in a car,
196
00:10:27,335 --> 00:10:30,003
and they'd seen a huge sphere
197
00:10:30,004 --> 00:10:32,004
of white light
in the sky ahead of them,
198
00:10:32,005 --> 00:10:35,633
and they followed it
and it changed size.
199
00:10:35,634 --> 00:10:37,469
It then started to trace out
200
00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:41,806
an enormous geometrical star
pattern across the entire sky,
201
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:45,226
and then massively accelerate
and disappear.
202
00:10:47,229 --> 00:10:49,855
NARRATOR: Might there be a
connection between the star pattern
203
00:10:49,856 --> 00:10:52,691
that was allegedly created
by the UFO
204
00:10:52,692 --> 00:10:57,029
and the zodiac wheel formed
in the Glastonbury landscape?
205
00:10:57,030 --> 00:11:00,492
But if this site really does
contain lost knowledge
206
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:03,994
regarding the zodiac,
what could it be?
207
00:11:03,995 --> 00:11:07,206
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
208
00:11:07,207 --> 00:11:09,375
another towering megalithic site
209
00:11:09,376 --> 00:11:12,587
built in the shape
of a constellation.
210
00:11:18,510 --> 00:11:20,720
NARRATOR:
Alatri, Italy,
211
00:11:20,721 --> 00:11:23,432
June 2019.
212
00:11:26,309 --> 00:11:29,396
Ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos
213
00:11:29,397 --> 00:11:32,231
is in the heart
of the Italian peninsula,
214
00:11:32,232 --> 00:11:35,151
about 50 miles southeast
of Rome.
215
00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:39,029
He is here to investigate
the astronomical alignment
216
00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:41,740
of the finest megalithic
construction in Italy,
217
00:11:41,741 --> 00:11:43,951
the city's acropolis.
218
00:11:43,952 --> 00:11:45,452
TSOUKALOS (chuckles):
All right.
219
00:11:45,453 --> 00:11:47,538
Giulio.
220
00:11:47,539 --> 00:11:49,039
- Hello, Giorgio. How are you?
- Good to see you again.
221
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,417
- Yeah. Nice to see you again.
- How are you?
222
00:11:50,418 --> 00:11:52,043
- Fine.
- What a fantastic place.
223
00:11:53,754 --> 00:11:56,172
- I cannot wait to see all of this.
- Yeah. Yeah.
224
00:11:56,173 --> 00:11:59,466
- Yeah.
- I've been waiting for years to see this.
225
00:11:59,467 --> 00:12:01,260
Amazing.
226
00:12:01,261 --> 00:12:03,888
NARRATOR: For expert insight,
he has enlisted the help
227
00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:08,225
of Dr. Giulio Magli,
a professor of archaeoastronomy
228
00:12:08,226 --> 00:12:11,729
from the Polytechnic University
in Milan, Italy.
229
00:12:11,730 --> 00:12:17,609
Dr. Magli has spent years
studying this massive structure.
230
00:12:17,610 --> 00:12:18,946
This is incredible.
231
00:12:23,075 --> 00:12:25,034
Mm-hmm.
232
00:12:37,755 --> 00:12:41,509
TSOUKALOS: 26 tons.
I mean, this is absolutely insane.
233
00:12:52,062 --> 00:12:53,397
Right.
234
00:12:57,109 --> 00:12:59,485
So you're suggesting
that they had to have had
235
00:12:59,486 --> 00:13:02,363
a compelling reason to do this,
236
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:04,615
'cause nobody
in their right mind
237
00:13:04,616 --> 00:13:07,576
would do something like this
without a reason.
238
00:13:07,577 --> 00:13:09,412
Yes.
239
00:13:09,413 --> 00:13:12,415
NARRATOR:
The imposing megalithic citadel
240
00:13:12,416 --> 00:13:14,750
was built on top of a hill
241
00:13:14,751 --> 00:13:18,504
and is defined
by six huge walls.
242
00:13:18,505 --> 00:13:21,758
The shape of the acropolis,
when viewed from the sky,
243
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:24,594
has led some to suggest
that it was built to create
244
00:13:24,595 --> 00:13:29,474
a lasting commemoration of the
site's connection to the stars.
245
00:13:29,475 --> 00:13:31,808
Giorgio has brought
a drone with him
246
00:13:31,809 --> 00:13:35,187
to get an aerial view
of the ancient acropolis.
247
00:13:35,188 --> 00:13:37,942
- All right, let's launch this rocket.
- Yes.
248
00:13:44,532 --> 00:13:46,825
TSOUKALOS: All right,
so what do we see here?
249
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:57,126
- Okay.
- And...
250
00:14:04,384 --> 00:14:05,635
TSOUKALOS:
Right.
251
00:14:07,721 --> 00:14:11,975
So, are you saying that this
mount here was cut artificially?
252
00:14:13,059 --> 00:14:14,852
That is incredible.
253
00:14:15,895 --> 00:14:17,105
TSOUKALOS:
Yeah.
254
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:20,359
Mm-hmm.
255
00:14:35,499 --> 00:14:37,960
TSOUKALOS: So, we are looking
at the outline of Gemini here?
256
00:14:39,503 --> 00:14:41,503
- Wow.
- May well be.
257
00:14:41,504 --> 00:14:45,883
What's really interesting here
is that the entire mountaintop
258
00:14:45,884 --> 00:14:47,759
has been artificially shaped
259
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,638
so that it is in the shape
of the constellation of Gemini.
260
00:14:51,639 --> 00:14:56,436
And then you have to wonder,
why was it built in this shape?
261
00:14:56,437 --> 00:14:59,814
Because something
of significance happened here
262
00:14:59,815 --> 00:15:01,692
a long time ago.
263
00:15:02,942 --> 00:15:04,902
NARRATOR:
In Greek mythology,
264
00:15:04,903 --> 00:15:08,239
the Gemini constellation
depicts twin brothers,
265
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,240
Castor and Pollux,
266
00:15:10,241 --> 00:15:13,076
the offspring
of a god and a human.
267
00:15:13,077 --> 00:15:16,455
HENRY: In the story, we're told
that Zeus shape-shifted
268
00:15:16,456 --> 00:15:19,584
or disguised himself as a swan
269
00:15:19,585 --> 00:15:22,586
and impregnated
this human female, Leda,
270
00:15:22,587 --> 00:15:26,423
leading to the birth
of Castor and Pollux.
271
00:15:26,424 --> 00:15:28,426
But in some versions
of the story,
272
00:15:28,427 --> 00:15:29,926
we learn that there were
actually
273
00:15:29,927 --> 00:15:31,470
two eggs that were hatched.
274
00:15:31,471 --> 00:15:33,431
One had the twin sets of boys,
275
00:15:33,432 --> 00:15:35,807
and another had
twin sets of girls.
276
00:15:35,808 --> 00:15:37,435
Some of the twins were mortal.
277
00:15:37,436 --> 00:15:39,562
Others of the twins
were immortal.
278
00:15:40,980 --> 00:15:42,648
NARRATOR:
While mainstream historians
279
00:15:42,649 --> 00:15:45,567
consider the story
purely mythological,
280
00:15:45,568 --> 00:15:48,779
ancient astronaut theorists
point out that these gods
281
00:15:48,780 --> 00:15:52,867
were considered very real
by the Greek people of the time,
282
00:15:52,868 --> 00:15:55,702
and they propose
that the story of the twins
283
00:15:55,703 --> 00:15:59,456
could be an account of
an extraterrestrial encounter.
284
00:15:59,457 --> 00:16:02,000
In one version of the story,
we're told that
285
00:16:02,001 --> 00:16:04,170
the egg containing
Castor and Pollux
286
00:16:04,171 --> 00:16:07,297
came down out of the heavens.
287
00:16:07,298 --> 00:16:11,635
TSOUKALOS: When the legends say that
the Gemini twins were born of an egg
288
00:16:11,636 --> 00:16:13,970
that descended from the sky,
289
00:16:13,971 --> 00:16:18,810
it actually says that they were
born of a so-called cosmic egg.
290
00:16:18,811 --> 00:16:20,604
And what are these cosmic eggs?
291
00:16:22,022 --> 00:16:24,606
They're always described
292
00:16:24,607 --> 00:16:29,195
as having either a silver
or a bronze-colored shell,
293
00:16:29,196 --> 00:16:31,406
and sometimes
they're also described
294
00:16:31,407 --> 00:16:35,368
as having a lot
of smoke, fire and noise.
295
00:16:35,369 --> 00:16:37,036
CHILDRESS:
And interestingly,
296
00:16:37,037 --> 00:16:41,749
many UFOs are sometimes
seen as eggs.
297
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:46,421
So, is it possible that the egg
of Castor and Pollux
298
00:16:46,422 --> 00:16:50,883
is some extraterrestrial vehicle
that looks like an egg
299
00:16:50,884 --> 00:16:56,055
and lands on Earth,
and then two twins step out?
300
00:16:56,056 --> 00:16:57,639
It's quite possible.
301
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,017
NARRATOR:
If the Alatri acropolis
302
00:17:00,018 --> 00:17:03,521
was purposely built to resemble
the Gemini constellation,
303
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:06,899
could it be commemorating
an alien visitation?
304
00:17:06,900 --> 00:17:09,027
And considering
the incredible size
305
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:12,070
of the stones it was built with,
is it possible
306
00:17:12,071 --> 00:17:15,031
that the extraterrestrials
themselves had a hand
307
00:17:15,032 --> 00:17:17,367
in the wall's construction?
308
00:17:17,368 --> 00:17:21,122
Do we have any records,
written records at all,
309
00:17:21,123 --> 00:17:23,834
- about this place from ancient times?
- We don't.
310
00:17:30,507 --> 00:17:31,923
Okay.
311
00:17:31,924 --> 00:17:33,800
What is your speculation
312
00:17:33,801 --> 00:17:36,929
how old this place
really could be?
313
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:37,972
Okay, uh...
314
00:17:56,784 --> 00:17:58,575
TSOUKALOS:
Because you can clearly see
315
00:17:58,576 --> 00:18:00,495
the different
construction styles.
316
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:03,663
Giulio, thank you very much
for sharing this with me,
317
00:18:03,664 --> 00:18:07,125
and I can't wait till
we see each other again.
318
00:18:07,126 --> 00:18:10,462
CHILDRESS: Whoever built
the Alatri acropolis
319
00:18:10,463 --> 00:18:12,964
was trying to point
something out to us.
320
00:18:12,965 --> 00:18:16,302
Apparently, they were trying
to show us the zodiac
321
00:18:16,303 --> 00:18:18,805
and the constellation of Gemini.
322
00:18:18,806 --> 00:18:22,642
And why they were trying
to do that, we don't know.
323
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:27,104
NARRATOR: The Alatri acropolis
is particularly baffling
324
00:18:27,105 --> 00:18:29,649
in that, much like
the Glastonbury Zodiac,
325
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:32,985
its shape can only be discerned
from high above,
326
00:18:32,986 --> 00:18:35,278
a perspective
that the ancient people
327
00:18:35,279 --> 00:18:37,824
presumably would not have had.
328
00:18:37,825 --> 00:18:40,992
But these are just two
of many sites found
329
00:18:40,993 --> 00:18:43,829
all over the world
that appear to have connections
330
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:45,664
to the stars.
331
00:18:45,665 --> 00:18:49,544
HENRY: The Mayan temples were
aligned with the Pleiades.
332
00:18:49,545 --> 00:18:53,422
Angkor Wat is aligned with
the constellation of Draco.
333
00:18:53,423 --> 00:18:55,842
What's interesting about
all of these places
334
00:18:55,843 --> 00:18:58,760
is that they're considered
to be star mirrors,
335
00:18:58,761 --> 00:19:01,012
making them places
of connection,
336
00:19:01,013 --> 00:19:02,681
where people can go to connect
337
00:19:02,682 --> 00:19:05,560
with that particular star system
or constellation.
338
00:19:06,769 --> 00:19:08,187
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
339
00:19:08,188 --> 00:19:10,647
that the Alatri acropolis
and other sites
340
00:19:10,648 --> 00:19:13,191
aligned with constellations
around the world
341
00:19:13,192 --> 00:19:15,862
were built to honor
extraterrestrial beings
342
00:19:15,863 --> 00:19:18,239
who visited in the distant past?
343
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,991
And if so,
could they have another,
344
00:19:20,992 --> 00:19:23,077
even more profound purpose?
345
00:19:24,704 --> 00:19:27,373
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
346
00:19:27,374 --> 00:19:30,710
and suggest further clues
as to what that purpose is
347
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:34,505
can be found by examining
the signs of the zodiac
348
00:19:34,506 --> 00:19:37,092
and their connection
to the gods.
349
00:19:42,597 --> 00:19:43,891
NARRATOR:
Berlin, Germany.
350
00:19:46,058 --> 00:19:49,060
January 2016.
351
00:19:49,061 --> 00:19:50,729
(bicycle bell dinging)
352
00:19:50,730 --> 00:19:53,941
Humboldt University professor
Mathieu Ossendrijver
353
00:19:53,942 --> 00:19:56,235
announces
a revolutionary discovery
354
00:19:56,236 --> 00:19:58,029
in the field of astronomy.
355
00:19:59,239 --> 00:20:01,781
He translates a Babylonian text
356
00:20:01,782 --> 00:20:04,868
that shows the ancient people
calculated the orbit of Jupiter
357
00:20:04,869 --> 00:20:08,079
more than 2,000 years ago,
358
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,083
demonstrating an understanding
of mathematical concepts
359
00:20:11,084 --> 00:20:13,294
that were not thought
to have been developed
360
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:15,338
until the 17th century.
361
00:20:18,299 --> 00:20:21,093
The sky watchers of Babylon
also identified
362
00:20:21,094 --> 00:20:23,386
the constellations
of the zodiac.
363
00:20:23,387 --> 00:20:26,056
And incredibly, a star chart
364
00:20:26,057 --> 00:20:28,058
belonging to
the Sumerian civilization
365
00:20:28,059 --> 00:20:29,727
that preceded the Babylonians
366
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,480
has been dated to 3300 BC.
367
00:20:34,607 --> 00:20:36,733
But perhaps
even more significant
368
00:20:36,734 --> 00:20:38,777
than the discovery
that ancient people
369
00:20:38,778 --> 00:20:42,949
recognized the constellations
as early as 5,000 years ago
370
00:20:42,950 --> 00:20:44,866
is the fact
that they believed them
371
00:20:44,867 --> 00:20:47,286
to be intimately tied
to events on Earth,
372
00:20:47,287 --> 00:20:50,082
imbued with the power
of the gods.
373
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:53,918
Each sign has its own story.
374
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:56,879
Each is tied
to specific mythology.
375
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,297
Different mythologies
in different parts of the world,
376
00:20:59,298 --> 00:21:03,344
but the collection
has sort of become standardized,
377
00:21:03,345 --> 00:21:06,555
more or less based on the Greek,
with a few exceptions.
378
00:21:06,556 --> 00:21:09,432
So, the sign Aries
is represented
379
00:21:09,433 --> 00:21:12,310
by the god Aries,
the god of war.
380
00:21:12,311 --> 00:21:14,980
This is not only
the warrior energy,
381
00:21:14,981 --> 00:21:18,608
but the ability to fight through
a difficult problem.
382
00:21:18,609 --> 00:21:21,528
Taurus is the god Aphrodite,
383
00:21:21,529 --> 00:21:23,823
and this is
important divine energy,
384
00:21:23,824 --> 00:21:25,865
it is love, beauty, sex,
385
00:21:25,866 --> 00:21:28,285
a sense of confidence
in your appearance.
386
00:21:28,286 --> 00:21:31,831
Cancer is associated with
the goddess Artemis,
387
00:21:31,832 --> 00:21:34,959
the goddess of the hunt,
of the forest and the Moon,
388
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,169
so the dark places
that are important
389
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:39,046
but hard to navigate.
390
00:21:39,047 --> 00:21:42,674
So we have these 12 stories,
these 12 signs,
391
00:21:42,675 --> 00:21:45,678
12 different divine energies.
392
00:21:45,679 --> 00:21:48,847
The very first
personality typology
393
00:21:48,848 --> 00:21:51,683
is born of our relationship
with the sky.
394
00:21:51,684 --> 00:21:53,102
It's born of the stars.
395
00:21:53,103 --> 00:21:55,020
We're looking out into
the celestial realm,
396
00:21:55,021 --> 00:21:56,689
and we see ourselves.
397
00:21:56,690 --> 00:22:00,526
NARRATOR: In many ways,
the zodiac truly is
398
00:22:00,527 --> 00:22:02,611
the language of the heavens.
399
00:22:02,612 --> 00:22:06,156
The positions of the
constellations in the night sky
400
00:22:06,157 --> 00:22:08,867
also indicate the positions
of the planets,
401
00:22:08,868 --> 00:22:11,202
as well as the position
of the Earth
402
00:22:11,203 --> 00:22:13,329
in relation to the Sun.
403
00:22:13,330 --> 00:22:17,000
Incredibly, ancient people
had some understanding of this
404
00:22:17,001 --> 00:22:20,880
thousands of years before
the invention of the telescope.
405
00:22:20,881 --> 00:22:22,922
And they closely watched
the movement
406
00:22:22,923 --> 00:22:25,843
of these celestial bodies
for divine messages.
407
00:22:25,844 --> 00:22:28,720
This shows up really prominently
in the Bible.
408
00:22:28,721 --> 00:22:32,057
Uh, for example, in the story
of... or the Gospel of Matthew...
409
00:22:32,058 --> 00:22:37,188
There's the story about the Magi
going to the birth of Jesus
410
00:22:37,189 --> 00:22:39,899
because they saw
the Star of Bethlehem.
411
00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:42,902
But the point of that story
is not that the Magi
412
00:22:42,903 --> 00:22:45,613
saw the Star of Bethlehem
and thought it caused the birth
413
00:22:45,614 --> 00:22:47,530
of Jesus, but just that
there was some sort
414
00:22:47,531 --> 00:22:50,075
of celestial omen or message
that indicated
415
00:22:50,076 --> 00:22:52,453
that somebody important
had been born.
416
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,874
And that's part of the reason
why some of the planets
417
00:22:56,875 --> 00:22:59,043
are named after specific gods.
418
00:22:59,044 --> 00:23:02,296
Like Jupiter... in Greek...
Is named Zeus,
419
00:23:02,297 --> 00:23:06,343
or Mercury was named Hermes,
and so on and so forth.
420
00:23:07,594 --> 00:23:09,260
They tended to think
that the planets
421
00:23:09,261 --> 00:23:10,762
and some of the celestial bodies
422
00:23:10,763 --> 00:23:13,641
were the celestial
representations of those gods
423
00:23:13,642 --> 00:23:17,393
and had some power to convey
messages from the cosmos,
424
00:23:17,394 --> 00:23:20,605
as if the cosmos itself
was alive and sentient
425
00:23:20,606 --> 00:23:23,733
and capable of speaking
to humanity.
426
00:23:23,734 --> 00:23:28,404
And sometimes they'll go so far
as to try to, um, mirror events
427
00:23:28,405 --> 00:23:30,740
that are happening
in the sky on Earth.
428
00:23:30,741 --> 00:23:33,076
NARRATOR:
If ancient people believed
429
00:23:33,077 --> 00:23:36,831
that the stars relayed messages
from the gods to humans,
430
00:23:36,832 --> 00:23:40,041
then did they build structures
aligned to the stars
431
00:23:40,042 --> 00:23:41,960
or in the shape
of constellations
432
00:23:41,961 --> 00:23:45,797
not simply to pay tribute
to these gods,
433
00:23:45,798 --> 00:23:48,384
but to leave messages
of their own?
434
00:23:50,636 --> 00:23:52,930
Perhaps further clues
can be found
435
00:23:52,931 --> 00:23:55,432
by examining
a more modern mystery.
436
00:23:56,809 --> 00:24:00,729
In 2018, astrophysicist
Travis Taylor
437
00:24:00,730 --> 00:24:02,772
traveled to Oak Island,
438
00:24:02,773 --> 00:24:04,732
off the coast
of Nova Scotia, Canada,
439
00:24:04,733 --> 00:24:07,652
where, according to legend,
a treasure was buried
440
00:24:07,653 --> 00:24:10,155
more than 200 years ago.
441
00:24:10,156 --> 00:24:12,490
Travis met up with the island's
current caretakers,
442
00:24:12,491 --> 00:24:14,826
Rick and Marty Lagina,
443
00:24:14,827 --> 00:24:17,997
to test his theory
that a band of warrior monks
444
00:24:17,998 --> 00:24:21,333
called the Knights Templar
was behind the mystery,
445
00:24:21,334 --> 00:24:23,544
and that they recorded
the location of the treasure
446
00:24:23,545 --> 00:24:25,630
with a star map.
447
00:24:27,298 --> 00:24:29,508
MARTY LAGINA: So, you've done
some investigative work
448
00:24:29,509 --> 00:24:32,135
- and you have some stuff to show us, I understand.
- TAYLOR: Right. Yeah, I do.
449
00:24:32,136 --> 00:24:33,970
I got to thinking,
is there something
450
00:24:33,971 --> 00:24:36,223
that archaeoastronomy might
have to do with the island?
451
00:24:37,808 --> 00:24:42,021
So I overlaid the constellation
of Taurus on the island.
452
00:24:44,648 --> 00:24:47,526
What we have
are all of the stars
453
00:24:47,527 --> 00:24:49,987
aligning onto the island.
454
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:52,239
This is a star map.
455
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,658
Not only are the stars
used for navigation;
456
00:24:54,659 --> 00:24:57,118
You can look at
the constellations in the sky
457
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,207
and also use those to map out
points on the ground,
458
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:05,044
and that can also act
as like a treasure map.
459
00:25:05,045 --> 00:25:08,838
There's a huge boulder
over here.
460
00:25:08,839 --> 00:25:12,218
We walked across the island
to those GPS coordinates,
461
00:25:12,219 --> 00:25:13,844
and interestingly enough,
462
00:25:13,845 --> 00:25:16,721
six out of seven of the points
we went to...
463
00:25:16,722 --> 00:25:19,725
Is that not a giant stone
right there?
464
00:25:19,726 --> 00:25:23,519
There was a large boulder,
uh, that weighed several tons,
465
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,856
that was right where
the star coincided
466
00:25:26,857 --> 00:25:28,733
with the map on the island.
467
00:25:28,734 --> 00:25:30,068
JACK BEGLEY:
This is one of your points,
468
00:25:30,069 --> 00:25:32,071
and there was
a stone feature here.
469
00:25:32,072 --> 00:25:33,405
- A very obvious one.
- That's-that's wild.
470
00:25:34,865 --> 00:25:36,075
TAYLOR:
The boulders,
471
00:25:36,076 --> 00:25:37,742
they weren't indigenously there.
472
00:25:37,743 --> 00:25:39,495
They were put there on purpose.
473
00:25:39,496 --> 00:25:41,747
So, the constellation
was drawn out on the island.
474
00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:43,624
The question is, why?
475
00:25:43,625 --> 00:25:45,459
LAGINA: Yeah,
you can't deny that you're hitting
476
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:47,294
on all cylinders,
so that's cool.
477
00:25:47,295 --> 00:25:48,921
On to the next.
478
00:25:48,922 --> 00:25:50,922
Could those stones that we saw
479
00:25:50,923 --> 00:25:53,883
be markers that were put there
by some human beings
480
00:25:53,884 --> 00:25:56,761
a long, long time ago
to correspond with a star map?
481
00:25:56,762 --> 00:25:58,806
The answer is...
Of course they could.
482
00:25:58,807 --> 00:26:01,976
NARRATOR: While the Oak Island
treasure has yet to be found,
483
00:26:01,977 --> 00:26:04,937
many experts believe
that constellations
484
00:26:04,938 --> 00:26:07,897
can be used as a type of code.
485
00:26:07,898 --> 00:26:10,608
It's possible that other
information could also be used,
486
00:26:10,609 --> 00:26:13,612
uh, by laying star maps
on the surface.
487
00:26:13,613 --> 00:26:17,615
They could be leaving a message,
like, whoever built this,
488
00:26:17,616 --> 00:26:19,785
that's where they came from.
489
00:26:19,786 --> 00:26:22,954
It's also possible
that this could be a message
490
00:26:22,955 --> 00:26:25,290
on how to build or do something.
491
00:26:25,291 --> 00:26:28,460
NARRATOR:
Messages contained in star maps?
492
00:26:28,461 --> 00:26:31,087
Could this explain
not only the arrangement
493
00:26:31,088 --> 00:26:33,632
of the mysterious boulders
found on Oak Island,
494
00:26:33,633 --> 00:26:36,301
but also why ancient peoples
throughout the world
495
00:26:36,302 --> 00:26:39,305
built structures
to mirror the heavens?
496
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:43,933
But if so, what information
might be revealed at places
497
00:26:43,934 --> 00:26:47,813
like the Alatri acropolis
and the Glastonbury pyramid?
498
00:26:47,814 --> 00:26:49,815
Are they pointing to the origins
499
00:26:49,816 --> 00:26:53,818
of multiple extraterrestrial
factions that came to Earth?
500
00:26:53,819 --> 00:26:57,449
Or something even more profound?
501
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:03,871
NARRATOR:
St. Andrews, Scotland.
502
00:27:03,872 --> 00:27:07,540
July 2012.
503
00:27:07,541 --> 00:27:11,210
A team of scientists
at St. Andrews University
504
00:27:11,211 --> 00:27:13,630
announces
an incredible discovery,
505
00:27:13,631 --> 00:27:17,593
the remains of an ancient
civilization on the bottom
506
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:21,430
of the North Sea,
just east of the British Isles.
507
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:26,352
Archaeologists believe it fell
victim to rising sea levels
508
00:27:26,353 --> 00:27:31,397
at least 8,000 years ago,
and potentially even earlier.
509
00:27:31,398 --> 00:27:35,193
The sunken civilization
is named Doggerland
510
00:27:35,194 --> 00:27:38,447
after a nearby sandbank
called Dogger Bank,
511
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:43,868
but there are some who call it
by another name: Atlantis.
512
00:27:43,869 --> 00:27:45,953
TSOUKALOS: The first reference
of Atlantis that we have
513
00:27:45,954 --> 00:27:51,460
is in Plato's dialogues
by Timaeus and Critias.
514
00:27:51,461 --> 00:27:53,586
In the very end of that,
515
00:27:53,587 --> 00:27:57,048
it talks about this
mythical place called Atlantis
516
00:27:57,049 --> 00:28:01,220
from where any and all knowledge
of the world came.
517
00:28:01,221 --> 00:28:04,431
And so,
some people have suggested
518
00:28:04,432 --> 00:28:09,685
that the first civilization on
Earth may have been Atlantean.
519
00:28:09,686 --> 00:28:11,688
Depending on
your source material,
520
00:28:11,689 --> 00:28:14,149
Atlantis will be depicted
in different ways,
521
00:28:14,150 --> 00:28:17,736
but from Plato forward,
it's almost always depicted
522
00:28:17,737 --> 00:28:21,824
as a technologically advanced
civilization.
523
00:28:21,825 --> 00:28:26,828
A civilization that occupies
the pinnacle of development.
524
00:28:26,829 --> 00:28:31,333
Atlantis was allegedly
this land mass that existed
525
00:28:31,334 --> 00:28:34,377
beyond the Pillars of Hercules,
526
00:28:34,378 --> 00:28:36,712
which is today's
Strait of Gibraltar,
527
00:28:36,713 --> 00:28:39,716
and to this day,
if Atlantis existed,
528
00:28:39,717 --> 00:28:42,846
we have no idea
where exactly Atlantis was.
529
00:28:44,263 --> 00:28:45,931
NARRATOR:
According to legend,
530
00:28:45,932 --> 00:28:49,268
Atlantis was destroyed
by a cataclysmic flood,
531
00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:53,605
which some identify as the great
flood described in the Bible.
532
00:28:56,442 --> 00:28:59,277
Is it possible that
the newly discovered Doggerland
533
00:28:59,278 --> 00:29:01,320
is actually Atlantis?
534
00:29:01,321 --> 00:29:04,490
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
535
00:29:04,491 --> 00:29:08,202
and suggest that not only can
evidence of the lost city
536
00:29:08,203 --> 00:29:12,833
be found underwater,
but even survives on dry land,
537
00:29:12,834 --> 00:29:15,585
hiding in plain sight.
538
00:29:15,586 --> 00:29:20,883
A number of modern scholars
in England, particularly,
539
00:29:20,884 --> 00:29:25,720
have believed that all of
the stone structures and mounds
540
00:29:25,721 --> 00:29:29,892
that are in England and Wales
and Scotland and Ireland
541
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:33,228
are all remnants of Atlantis.
542
00:29:33,229 --> 00:29:36,981
The famous researcher
John Michell in England
543
00:29:36,982 --> 00:29:40,486
wrote a book called
The View Over Atlantis.
544
00:29:40,487 --> 00:29:43,197
And in that book,
he's talking about
545
00:29:43,198 --> 00:29:46,741
the remnants of Atlantis
that is still above water
546
00:29:46,742 --> 00:29:49,870
while much of Atlantis
is underwater now.
547
00:29:49,871 --> 00:29:54,665
NARRATOR: In 1960,
British author Brinsley Le Poer Trench
548
00:29:54,666 --> 00:29:57,835
published his seminal book,
The Sky People.
549
00:29:57,836 --> 00:30:03,467
In it, he claims the Glastonbury
Zodiac was built by Atlanteans.
550
00:30:03,468 --> 00:30:07,345
Atlantis was basically
a culture that always,
551
00:30:07,346 --> 00:30:10,431
as far as Trench was concerned,
from the very beginning,
552
00:30:10,432 --> 00:30:12,893
uh, had an E.T. impetus.
553
00:30:12,894 --> 00:30:17,439
And at its very end,
that impetus is there again
554
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,316
when the Glastonbury Zodiac
is created
555
00:30:20,317 --> 00:30:26,364
as an enduring memorial
and also as a future prophecy
556
00:30:26,365 --> 00:30:30,076
by Atlantean refugees,
if you like,
557
00:30:30,077 --> 00:30:32,120
with help from the sky people.
558
00:30:32,121 --> 00:30:34,581
HENRY:
In esoteric British lore,
559
00:30:34,582 --> 00:30:37,750
before the fall of Atlantis,
there were refugees, sages,
560
00:30:37,751 --> 00:30:40,045
that came to the British Isles
561
00:30:40,046 --> 00:30:42,213
and created
the Glastonbury Zodiac
562
00:30:42,214 --> 00:30:45,676
as a way to remember
the story of Atlantis.
563
00:30:47,302 --> 00:30:49,387
NARRATOR:
Could it be that an advanced
564
00:30:49,388 --> 00:30:51,597
ancient civilization
called Atlantis
565
00:30:51,598 --> 00:30:54,893
was not only real,
but was a place where humans
566
00:30:54,894 --> 00:30:57,645
coexisted
with extraterrestrials?
567
00:30:57,646 --> 00:31:00,982
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further clues
568
00:31:00,983 --> 00:31:04,318
can be found by examining
the Greek creation myth
569
00:31:04,319 --> 00:31:06,989
of the lost continent.
570
00:31:06,990 --> 00:31:08,824
CHILDRESS:
According to legend,
571
00:31:08,825 --> 00:31:12,952
Atlantis was founded
by the god Poseidon.
572
00:31:12,953 --> 00:31:18,416
He fell in love
with a human woman named Cleito,
573
00:31:18,417 --> 00:31:21,920
and that they had
five sets of twins.
574
00:31:21,921 --> 00:31:27,258
And these twins went on
to be the founders of Atlantis.
575
00:31:27,259 --> 00:31:31,846
So here we see, really, a story
of extraterrestrials, perhaps,
576
00:31:31,847 --> 00:31:35,683
coming to Earth
at a very early date.
577
00:31:35,684 --> 00:31:38,229
Before the last ice age.
578
00:31:39,980 --> 00:31:42,274
NARRATOR: The mythology of
the ancient Celtic people
579
00:31:42,275 --> 00:31:45,527
also tells of a race of beings
who came from the sky
580
00:31:45,528 --> 00:31:49,739
in this part of the world:
The Tuath Dé Danann.
581
00:31:49,740 --> 00:31:51,325
HENRY:
When we look at the story
582
00:31:51,326 --> 00:31:53,160
of the origins of the druids
583
00:31:53,161 --> 00:31:56,496
and how they are the offspring
of the Tuath Dé Danann,
584
00:31:56,497 --> 00:31:59,040
who came from the stars
and came...
585
00:31:59,041 --> 00:32:02,169
rode upon clouds
and-and came to Britain,
586
00:32:02,170 --> 00:32:05,297
we wonder if these, in fact,
could be the same gods
587
00:32:05,298 --> 00:32:09,300
that founded
the civilization of Atlantis.
588
00:32:09,301 --> 00:32:12,470
NARRATOR: Could it be that
the Glastonbury Zodiac
589
00:32:12,471 --> 00:32:14,640
was created by Atlanteans?
590
00:32:14,641 --> 00:32:17,893
But if so, why?
591
00:32:17,894 --> 00:32:21,313
Was it meant to leave a physical
record of a civilization
592
00:32:21,314 --> 00:32:23,856
on the verge of annihilation?
593
00:32:23,857 --> 00:32:26,567
Or does it contain
critical information
594
00:32:26,568 --> 00:32:29,821
for the evolution of humankind?
595
00:32:36,078 --> 00:32:37,578
NARRATOR:
Glastonbury, England.
596
00:32:37,579 --> 00:32:40,083
1983.
597
00:32:42,335 --> 00:32:45,170
While researching
the Glastonbury Zodiac,
598
00:32:45,171 --> 00:32:48,507
author Andrew Collins hears
numerous accounts from people
599
00:32:48,508 --> 00:32:50,508
claiming to have experienced
strange visions
600
00:32:50,509 --> 00:32:53,260
associated with the site.
601
00:32:53,261 --> 00:32:58,392
For Collins, this aspect of the
mystery resonates most deeply,
602
00:32:58,393 --> 00:33:02,562
as he has experienced
such visions himself.
603
00:33:02,563 --> 00:33:05,606
One of the purposes
of the Glastonbury Zodiac
604
00:33:05,607 --> 00:33:08,111
would seem to draw people
towards it.
605
00:33:09,528 --> 00:33:12,029
During an earlier part
of my life,
606
00:33:12,030 --> 00:33:15,784
I was drawn into
the Glastonbury Zodiac quest.
607
00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:19,621
I started to receive
dreams and visions,
608
00:33:19,622 --> 00:33:23,749
and I felt that I had to embark
upon this quest
609
00:33:23,750 --> 00:33:27,712
to navigate
from each different sign,
610
00:33:27,713 --> 00:33:30,215
going from place to place.
611
00:33:31,843 --> 00:33:34,260
And the sense is,
at the end of it,
612
00:33:34,261 --> 00:33:35,929
is that you're contributing
613
00:33:35,930 --> 00:33:38,806
to some kind
of global consciousness.
614
00:33:38,807 --> 00:33:40,933
For, in my opinion,
615
00:33:40,934 --> 00:33:44,729
some kind of intelligence
is responsible
616
00:33:44,730 --> 00:33:48,816
for drawing human experience,
human knowledge,
617
00:33:48,817 --> 00:33:51,569
and uploading this
into the system.
618
00:33:51,570 --> 00:33:55,699
NARRATOR: Profound visions have
been reported at Glastonbury
619
00:33:55,700 --> 00:33:58,951
dating all the way back
to the modern-day rediscovery
620
00:33:58,952 --> 00:34:03,038
of the enormous landscape zodiac
in 1927.
621
00:34:03,039 --> 00:34:06,250
When Katharine Maltwood
first noticed the constellations
622
00:34:06,251 --> 00:34:09,796
in the landscape, she said that
they jumped out at her
623
00:34:09,797 --> 00:34:12,424
as if in a flash of inspiration.
624
00:34:12,425 --> 00:34:14,593
HENRY:
Maltwood's sudden discovery
625
00:34:14,594 --> 00:34:17,220
of the Glastonbury Zodiac
is very interesting
626
00:34:17,221 --> 00:34:19,180
because it makes you wonder,
627
00:34:19,181 --> 00:34:21,600
was she herself in an
altered state of consciousness
628
00:34:21,601 --> 00:34:23,935
when she had this
flash of inspiration?
629
00:34:23,936 --> 00:34:25,729
Did she receive perhaps
a message
630
00:34:25,730 --> 00:34:29,024
from an otherworldly,
even extraterrestrial being
631
00:34:29,025 --> 00:34:32,612
who told her what is actually
on the landscape at Glastonbury?
632
00:34:34,112 --> 00:34:36,198
NARRATOR:
In his book, The Sky People,
633
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:39,618
Brinsley Le Poer Trench
pointed out a curious detail
634
00:34:39,619 --> 00:34:43,288
of the Glastonbury Zodiac
that he felt provided evidence
635
00:34:43,289 --> 00:34:45,999
of an extraterrestrial
connection.
636
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,794
Trench had the idea that because
637
00:34:48,795 --> 00:34:51,504
there is just one
of the twins of Gemini
638
00:34:51,505 --> 00:34:55,091
depicted in
the Glastonbury Zodiac,
639
00:34:55,092 --> 00:34:59,053
the other twin
is in outer space.
640
00:34:59,054 --> 00:35:03,933
It is a whole testimony
to this tearing asunder
641
00:35:03,934 --> 00:35:07,520
of our family by the great
tragic, uh, event
642
00:35:07,521 --> 00:35:09,314
of the fall of Atlantis.
643
00:35:09,315 --> 00:35:12,692
HENRY: Maltwood believed
that the Glastonbury Zodiac
644
00:35:12,693 --> 00:35:14,444
is an earthly counterpart
645
00:35:14,445 --> 00:35:18,323
to the stellar temple called
the Caer Sidi of the Celts
646
00:35:18,324 --> 00:35:20,741
and that, in fact,
it was a mirror
647
00:35:20,742 --> 00:35:22,953
of the zodiac in the heavens,
648
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:26,080
and that by going into
altered states of consciousness,
649
00:35:26,081 --> 00:35:30,084
ancient shamans were able to
travel into the stellar temple
650
00:35:30,085 --> 00:35:32,087
from the earthly temple.
651
00:35:32,088 --> 00:35:35,339
NARRATOR: Do the Gemini
twins suggest a connection
652
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:37,759
between Earth and the heavens?
653
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,971
Could it be that the visions
reported at Glastonbury
654
00:35:40,972 --> 00:35:45,308
are messages from an advanced
extraterrestrial race?
655
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:47,352
But if so, how?
656
00:35:47,353 --> 00:35:52,189
COLLINS: Is it possible that all
of these astrological influences
657
00:35:52,190 --> 00:35:54,526
convey alien messages
658
00:35:54,527 --> 00:35:57,863
inbound from somewhere else
in the galaxy?
659
00:35:57,864 --> 00:36:00,573
Well, if the answer is yes,
660
00:36:00,574 --> 00:36:04,201
then the means
of this communication
661
00:36:04,202 --> 00:36:07,372
is what we call
quantum entanglement.
662
00:36:07,373 --> 00:36:10,834
NARRATOR: The theory of
quantum entanglement states
663
00:36:10,835 --> 00:36:13,587
that if a particle is split
into two parts,
664
00:36:13,588 --> 00:36:17,381
the parts will remain connected
to one another,
665
00:36:17,382 --> 00:36:19,968
even when separated
over large distances.
666
00:36:19,969 --> 00:36:23,555
TAYLOR: If two particles are
quantum-entangled, as we say,
667
00:36:23,556 --> 00:36:25,765
then as they travel off
to different places
668
00:36:25,766 --> 00:36:28,517
in the universe,
if you do something to this one,
669
00:36:28,518 --> 00:36:30,854
it instantaneously
will affect this one.
670
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:34,441
NARRATOR: Scientists suspect
a potential application
671
00:36:34,442 --> 00:36:36,901
of quantum entanglement could be
672
00:36:36,902 --> 00:36:39,321
in faster-than-light
communication.
673
00:36:39,322 --> 00:36:41,406
HENRY: Through the process
of quantum entanglement,
674
00:36:41,407 --> 00:36:45,826
an extraterrestrial being could
be millions of light-years away
675
00:36:45,827 --> 00:36:49,663
and still be able to communicate
with humans on Earth.
676
00:36:49,664 --> 00:36:52,167
NARRATOR:
Are there places on the planet
677
00:36:52,168 --> 00:36:55,754
where extraterrestrial contact
can take place?
678
00:36:55,755 --> 00:36:59,006
Is this why Katharine Maltwood
was able to recognize
679
00:36:59,007 --> 00:37:00,466
the signs of the zodiac
680
00:37:00,467 --> 00:37:03,636
incorporated into the landscape
of Glastonbury?
681
00:37:03,637 --> 00:37:07,515
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
682
00:37:07,516 --> 00:37:10,017
and suggest the message
to humankind
683
00:37:10,018 --> 00:37:13,270
provides not only information
about Earth,
684
00:37:13,271 --> 00:37:16,858
but the key to traveling
to the stars.
685
00:37:21,614 --> 00:37:23,407
NARRATOR:
New York City.
686
00:37:26,702 --> 00:37:29,745
Located in Midtown Manhattan
687
00:37:29,746 --> 00:37:33,415
is the busiest train station
in the United States,
688
00:37:33,416 --> 00:37:36,127
Grand Central Terminal.
689
00:37:36,128 --> 00:37:37,879
Three-quarters
of a million people
690
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,006
come through here each day,
691
00:37:40,007 --> 00:37:43,634
and when they do, they pass
under an enormous star chart,
692
00:37:43,635 --> 00:37:46,971
one whose origins date back
some 5,000 years.
693
00:37:46,972 --> 00:37:51,642
When commuters walk
into Grand Central, they see
694
00:37:51,643 --> 00:37:56,982
an epic, magnificent mural
of the zodiac wheel.
695
00:37:56,983 --> 00:38:01,486
It is one of the largest
zodiac murals
696
00:38:01,487 --> 00:38:03,404
in the modern world.
697
00:38:03,405 --> 00:38:07,783
NARRATOR: Although most visitors
are not aware of the mural
698
00:38:07,784 --> 00:38:11,745
above their heads, if they were,
they might be astounded,
699
00:38:11,746 --> 00:38:13,999
because as far as
ancient astronaut theorists
700
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,459
are concerned, it depicts
the evolution of the Earth
701
00:38:17,460 --> 00:38:20,629
in extraterrestrial terms.
702
00:38:20,630 --> 00:38:23,174
The most interesting fact
703
00:38:23,175 --> 00:38:25,134
about this portion
of the zodiac wheel
704
00:38:25,135 --> 00:38:27,011
is that it demonstrates
705
00:38:27,012 --> 00:38:29,723
what is called the
precession of the equinoxes.
706
00:38:29,724 --> 00:38:34,685
What we call the spring equinox
is the first day of spring.
707
00:38:34,686 --> 00:38:37,522
Back when the principles
of astrology
708
00:38:37,523 --> 00:38:39,357
were first put together,
709
00:38:39,358 --> 00:38:42,401
the first day of spring
was in Aries.
710
00:38:42,402 --> 00:38:45,654
During the age of Christ,
the first day of spring
711
00:38:45,655 --> 00:38:47,531
was in Pisces.
712
00:38:47,532 --> 00:38:49,491
The fish is associated
with Pisces.
713
00:38:49,492 --> 00:38:52,245
Christ was considered
the fisher of men.
714
00:38:52,246 --> 00:38:57,459
And nowadays,
the spring equinox occurs
715
00:38:57,460 --> 00:39:02,756
when the Sun rises in
the constellation of Aquarius.
716
00:39:02,757 --> 00:39:06,718
That's why we are said to be
in the Age of Aquarius,
717
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:10,013
which is supposed to be an age
of spiritual understanding,
718
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:12,724
mystical awareness
and world peace.
719
00:39:14,684 --> 00:39:17,729
NARRATOR: While there is no
consensus as to an exact date,
720
00:39:17,730 --> 00:39:20,397
many believe that
the Age of Aquarius was set
721
00:39:20,398 --> 00:39:24,444
by ancient astrologers to begin
in February 1962
722
00:39:24,445 --> 00:39:27,738
and believed that it would
trigger the rapid development
723
00:39:27,739 --> 00:39:29,783
of new technology.
724
00:39:29,784 --> 00:39:32,743
Ironically,
it began just seven years
725
00:39:32,744 --> 00:39:35,245
before man landed on the Moon.
726
00:39:35,246 --> 00:39:38,500
NEIL ARMSTRONG:
That's one small step for man,
727
00:39:38,501 --> 00:39:41,960
one giant leap for mankind.
728
00:39:41,961 --> 00:39:46,256
I guarantee you that when our
ancestors spoke about these gods
729
00:39:46,257 --> 00:39:47,926
descending from the sky,
730
00:39:47,927 --> 00:39:50,928
they were not referring
to the constellations themselves
731
00:39:50,929 --> 00:39:53,680
descending from the sky,
but, in my opinion,
732
00:39:53,681 --> 00:39:58,521
people coming from those areas
up in the night sky.
733
00:40:00,606 --> 00:40:04,109
HENRY: As we are entering
into the new Age of Aquarius,
734
00:40:04,110 --> 00:40:05,819
according to the Sumerians,
it was Enki,
735
00:40:05,820 --> 00:40:08,154
is the original man of Aquarius,
736
00:40:08,155 --> 00:40:11,281
an otherworldly,
even extraterrestrial being.
737
00:40:11,282 --> 00:40:15,870
We are returning to a time
when Enki himself may return.
738
00:40:15,871 --> 00:40:18,790
That's perfectly consistent
with this idea that the zodiac,
739
00:40:18,791 --> 00:40:21,084
in fact, is a sort of a clock
740
00:40:21,085 --> 00:40:24,129
that tells not just about
the Sun's journey,
741
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:26,797
but also about the journey
of extraterrestrials
742
00:40:26,798 --> 00:40:29,008
and their return to Earth.
743
00:40:29,009 --> 00:40:31,176
JASON MARTELL: We're now in
the Age of Aquarius,
744
00:40:31,177 --> 00:40:33,471
and there is a quickening effect
taking place
745
00:40:33,472 --> 00:40:35,473
with our technological advances.
746
00:40:35,474 --> 00:40:38,142
It's very possible
that we are now in the age
747
00:40:38,143 --> 00:40:39,977
when we are going to reconnect
748
00:40:39,978 --> 00:40:42,480
with our ancient alien
ancestors.
749
00:40:42,481 --> 00:40:45,649
NARRATOR: Could our ancestors
have been aware of the zodiac's
750
00:40:45,650 --> 00:40:48,736
powerful message
thousands of years ago?
751
00:40:48,737 --> 00:40:52,948
And might the signs
of the zodiac provide the key
752
00:40:52,949 --> 00:40:58,203
to understanding both
humanity's past and future?
753
00:40:58,204 --> 00:41:00,999
There's a prophecy
in the Glastonbury Zodiac
754
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,002
relating to the coming
Age of Aquarius.
755
00:41:05,003 --> 00:41:09,506
It's going to be a time
where our minds begin to think
756
00:41:09,507 --> 00:41:11,843
radically differently in a way
757
00:41:11,844 --> 00:41:15,846
that can transform life
on this planet for the better.
758
00:41:15,847 --> 00:41:19,017
In many ways, we are becoming
more enlightened,
759
00:41:19,018 --> 00:41:21,727
we are becoming more connected
with the cosmos,
760
00:41:21,728 --> 00:41:25,982
we understand more about
our roots and our origins.
761
00:41:25,983 --> 00:41:31,236
NARRATOR: Might the discoveries
of massive landscape zodiacs,
762
00:41:31,237 --> 00:41:34,698
legends of a lost
advanced civilization
763
00:41:34,699 --> 00:41:38,076
and accounts of telepathic
alien transmissions
764
00:41:38,077 --> 00:41:42,080
be preparing humanity to
recognize a long-lost connection
765
00:41:42,081 --> 00:41:44,834
to otherworldly beings?
766
00:41:44,835 --> 00:41:48,838
Does the zodiac really contain a
message from extraterrestrials?
767
00:41:50,465 --> 00:41:54,636
And if so,
what is it trying to say?
768
00:41:54,637 --> 00:41:58,223
Perhaps when we crack
this constellation code,
769
00:41:58,224 --> 00:42:00,725
we will achieve
our ultimate destiny
770
00:42:00,726 --> 00:42:04,063
and ascend to the stars.
