All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens S03E04 Aliens and Temples of Gold 720p

Ancient cities lost for centuries.

Dozens of people have risked their
lives trying to find where Paititi is.

NARRATOR: Treasures hidden
deep underwater.

The local people have told me
not simply that the ships fly

over the lake, but they
actually enter the lake.

NARRATOR: And secret
chambers...

buried under the
great Egyptian Sphinx.

Gold was the flesh of the gods.
Egypt had probably the best

supply of gold anywhere
in the ancient world.

NARRATOR: Since the dawn of time,
humans have been obsessed

with legends of hidden gold.

But what if our desire for this
precious metal is about

something more than riches?

It almost seems as if we're genetically
programmed to love gold.

Ultimately, gold represents
our connection with the stars.

A number of researchers have
suggested that ancient aliens

have come to Earth
primarily to mine gold.

NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?

And if so, might they have come
here in search of gold?

Lake Guanavita, Colombia.

Believed to be the site of an
ancient meteor crater,

this circular-shaped mountain lake is
at the center of one

of mankind's greatest searches...

the search for El Dorado,
the Lost City of Gold.

Since the 16th century,
El Dorado has been the "Holy Grail"

for fortune hunters.

Legends abound about a place
full of untold riches somewhere

in South America.

Yet to this day, the mythical
city remains undiscovered.

But if such a magnificent place
does exist, how has it eluded

explorers for centuries?

Some believe the answer lies
within this mysterious lake.

GREGORY DEYERMENJIAN: The story
of El Dorado developed from

the Lake Guatavita that was within the
territory of the Muisca

or the Chicha people

which was a chiefdom.
Not quite as high civilization as Incas

or as the Aztecs, but chiefdom with
civilization itself that had a lot of gold.

The ruler in the southern half
of the Muisca territory was

known as the Zipa, but the
Conquistadores who arrived there

in the 16th century called him
El Dorado, Spanish for

"The Golden One."

They gave him this name after
observing the Muisca's most

sacred ritual. The Zipa would
float out on a royal barge to

the middle of Lake Guatavita to
make offerings of gold to a god

believed to live at the
bottom of the lake.

DEYERMENJIAN: It was said that
the chief, adorned with

resin and then adorned with gold dust,
would jump into the

water in order to wash the gold
dust off, and then this gold

would accumulate in that lake,
and that golden objects as

sacrifices would be thrown
into that particular lake.

And from that came the belief
of El Dorado around Colombia.

In 1912 an excavation
of Lake Guatavita was

led by British engineer Hartley Knowles.
Knowles reported that he had

recovered around $20,000
worth of treasure...

including golden artifacts.

But he also believed much more
lay beneath the hardened lake bed.

Could Knowles find be evidence
that the story of the Muisca

chief is based on truth?

If so, just who or what
was the so-called god who

dwelled at the bottom of the lake?

DAVID CHILDRESS: A number of researchers
have suggested that ancient aliens

have come to Earth
primarily to mine gold.

Zecharia Sitchin suggested that
these extraterrestrials needed gold

to spend it in the atmosphere
and preserve their planet.

Is gold something that is really important
to space exploration and to astronomy?

Well, it actually is, very important
and the reason why is because gold

is an innert material.
It doesn't react with anything.

The other thing that's very
important about it is that

it is a wonderful conductor
of electricity.

And last but not least is the
fact that gold is a perfect

reflector of infrared energy.

You can use gold blankets to
protect spacecraft against the

the intense heat of a star
or any sort of heat source.

CHILDRESS: Gold is a very rare
and valuable element

throughout the universe.
(whooshing)

NARRATOR: Aliens coming to
Earth searching for gold.

Could such a thing be possible?

According to ancient astronaut
theorists, it is not only

possible, but they claim the
proof exists in the numerous

texts and legends of
the ancient world.

Like that of the legendary Incan
city of Paititi, thought to be

located near the southeastern
area of Peru.

CHILDRESS: The Conquistadors became
obsessed with finding

this mysterious city of gold
that they heard was in the

jungles of Eastern Peru
somewhere.

They called it Paititi,
the Golden City.

Stories of Paititi and El Dorado
ultimately led to the

exploration of the
Amazon jungles.

DEYERMENJIAN: El Dorado and Paititi
are frequently confused.

I see El Dorado as being that
particular gold-producing site

that was in northern South America,
and Paititi having

been another civilization
contemporaneous with the Incas

in the area of Peru, Bolivia,
that has yet to be definitively found.

And that's what part of my quest
has been over these last 25 years.

NARRATOR: Since 1984, American
explorer Gregory

Deyermenjian and his Peruvian
counterpart, Paulino Mamani have

staged more than 15 expeditions
in search of this mythical city of gold.

There is an Incan road of stone leading
towards what is supposed to be,

as legend would have it, Paititi...
that's what we've been following.

They say that Pachamama,
the earth goddess, covers

these areas with such difficulty...
the moss, the jungle, the rivers...

that some things could be
hidden here forever.

NARRATOR: Their search began
in Cuzco at the Incan holy

place of Coricancha, which means,
"Golden Courtyard".

In 1559, Spanish Conquistadores
tore down Coricancha

to construct the Cathedral
of Santo Domingo,

and it still sits in
the center of Cuzco today,

surrounded by the ruins of the
ancient Incan temple.

The cathedral features an
enormous altar covered in gold.

But according to the records of
the Conquistadors, it pales in

comparison to the magnificent
Coricancha, which was not only

filled with gold statues but was
also covered in sheets of solid gold.

FOERSTER: Gold was important

with the Inca, because it
was the sweat of the Sun.

The Sun was the highest deity
of the Inca and therefore

the sweat of the Sun represented
the most sacred possession imaginable.

Ancient astronaut theorists
believe a golden sun idol

called the Punchal that once resided
in Coricancha may provide evidence

that extraterrestrials had
contact with the Inca.

Coricancha was famous for
it's gigantic golden disc

that the ancient Inca worshiped.
That was a symbol of a giant golden disc

that allegedly landed from the sky
in front of the Inca ruler Atahualpa.

And he had direct contact according
to legends with the sky gods.

NARRATOR: Could the giant golden
disc that once resided

inside Coricancha have been made
to honor an alien visitor?

And if extraterrestrials did
come to mine gold, might this

also provide evidence that
Paititi is nearby?

In 1533 the Spanish overtook the
city of Cuzco and plundered

the temple of Coricancha
in search of Incan gold.

But according to local legend,
the gold had already been moved

20 miles northwest of the city and
deposited at the bottom of a nearby lake.

FOERSTER: Before the entire
group of Spanish were able to

get into Cuzco, the priests
found out about it and they had

all of the gold from all of the
temples brought up to Lake Puray

and thrown into the center.

None of it has been found,
to this day.

The amount of gold at today's
prices would be in the billions.

NARRATOR: Perhaps even more
mysterious are the frequent

reports of unusual sightings in
the skies over the area...

sightings that have been
reported for hundreds of years.

The local people of
this area have told me not

simply that the ships fly over the lake,
but they actually enter the lake.

The stories go that there's a
little vortex that opens up just

about the size of the spaceship,
perhaps 20 feet across.

The spaceship enters the lake,
the vortex closes.

Later the vortex opens
and the ship leaves again.

NARRATOR: If, as the local
inhabitants claim, strange...

possibly alien... spacecraft
really do come to this area,

might there be a connection
between the visitations

and the legends of gold hidden
at the bottom of Lake Puray?

COPPENS: Dozens of people
have risked their lives,

in some cases actually have died,
trying to find where Paititi is.

You have the standard treasure hunt
which just goes for the monetary value.

You have certain people who go to it
because they know that that name

will be immortalized forever after.
But you also have people who go in search

of this because they know that if you
find a treasure you will literally prove

that a legend is factual.

Perhaps the greater
mystery is not if or where the

mythical cities of El Dorado and
Paititi may be discovered...

but what might be revealed
once they are found.

Tokyo lmperial University,
March 1924.

In an early experiment with
nuclear energy,

Professor Hantaro Nagaoka directs
150,000 volts of electricity

at a mercury isotope under a
dielectric layer of paraffin oil

for four hours.

The purpose... to strike out a
hydrogen proton from the nucleus

of the mercury and
produce a new element...

gold.

The experiment is a success.

Professor Nagaoka has solved
a mystery that has eluded

scientists for centuries...
the mystery of the philosopher's stone.

A.J. SHAKA: The philosopher's stone
was an idea

that would turn, led or some
very inexpensive metal into gold.

The thought that one could do
that is attractive in and of itself.

NARRATOR: For thousands of
years, kings sought out

this mythical device... one that
could create gold out of common metal.

Scientists and alchemists spent
centuries trying to invent one.

Even Sir Isaac Newton obsessed
over the mystery

of the philosopher's stone
in the 17th century,

although the English Crown, fearing
the potential devaluation of gold,

had made the practice of alchemy
punishable by death.

By the time of Professor Nagaoka's
experiment in 1924,

most of the scientific community
had declared the process

of producing gold from
another metal impossible.

But that quickly changed once
they knew where to look.

The secret of alchemy
lies in the stars.

MICHAEL DENNIN: When you think
about how gold's made, naturally gold

is formed basically in the nuclear
reactions in the sun.

And then is spread through the universe
when a supernova occurs and

the sun explodes and sends all
of the products out.

Because we now can do controlled
nuclear reactions, we have

the ability, finally, to essentially
manufacture gold from other elements.

NARRATOR: Here, at the
University of California, lrvine,

Dr. A.J. Shaka conducts experiments
in alchemy nearly every day.

SHAKA: We put mercury into
one of these tubes,

and mercury has
a minor isotope of .15%...

mercury 196 it's called...
and that isotope will actually pick up

a neutron and, in about
23 hours, turn into gold.

To bring the reactor to full capacity,
Dr. Shaka removes the control rods

that absorb neutrons and keep
them from reacting with other atoms.

This generates power
at a staggering rate.

SHAKA: In terms of
the amount of power,

including electrical energy,
that you can generate

from a given mass of material,
nuclear is about ten to 20

million times better than
anything else.

NARRATOR: After 24 hours,
the experiment has been a success

and yields gold, a real-life
philosopher's stone at work

in the basement of a small
university building.

The discovery of alchemy has
been invaluable to science,

but ironically it has not
produced untold riches.

SHAKA: If you irradiate for
about a day in our reactor,

you make three-tenths of
a cent worth of gold.

Since we charge $200 an hour to
operate the reactor,

you're pretty far in the hole.

NARRATOR: But while modern-day
alchemy is considered far

too inefficient to create vast
new caches of gold, ancient

astronaut theorists believe a
much greater technology than

our own may have been at work
thousands of years ago,

in ancient Egypt. Another place where
gold was linked to the gods.

ROBERT BAUVAL: The idea of gold being
some sort of divine metal, divine element

is very much in grain in the
ancient Egyptian system of belief.

Gold was the flesh of the gods.
So therefore very great significance.

Egypt had probably the best supply
of gold anywhere in the ancient world.

And we find that in some of the
letters which survived between

kings of Babylon, Assyria and
others and Egypt, a lot of them

are begging letters, basically
saying to the Egyptian king, you

you know, "Oh, my brother,
the pharaoh, please send me gold,

lots of gold, because gold is as dust
in the land of my brother, the pharaoh."

But just how did
gold come to be so much more

abundant in ancient Egypt than
in neighboring lands?

And why did the Egyptians view the metal
as something not of this world?

According to ancient astronaut theorists,
it is entirely possible that the Egyptians

were capable of actually
manufacturing gold...

and may have received
otherworldly help to do so.

If alchemical transmutations can
be performed in a modest

facility like the one at the
University of California, lrvine,

what might be possible
with a larger reactor?

A reactor, perhaps, the size of
the Great Pyramid at Giza.

CHILDRESS: Christopher Dunne has
suggested that the Giza pyramid

is some kind of giant machine
and some kind of chemical reaction

was taking place inside the pyramid.

It's possible that the Giza pyramid
was actually being used to

transmute other elements into gold.

Looking into the blueprints
of the internal arrangements,

passageways, chambers and shafts,
the appearance of it to me

did not resemble anything
that would be used as a tomb.

The precision with
which it was built,

the precision of the stones
that go into building,

the queen's chamber,
the grand gallery,

and then, also, thousands and
thousands of tons of granite

that were brought down the Nile
500 miles to build the king's chamber.

These are the features that
really shout out and say:

There's something going on here,
there's something different.

It was built like a machine,
perhaps it functioned like a machine.

NARRATOR: Could it be that
the Great Pyramid was the

original philosopher's stone?

If so, how could an ancient
civilization have constructed

the equivalent of
a nuclear reactor?

Might the centuries-old search
for the philosopher's stone

represent more than just a
desire for gold and riches?

Could it represent... as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest...

the search for lost technology?

Perhaps the key to that
knowledge still lies hidden

somewhere here on Earth and
can be found in areas still

containing vast amounts
of hidden treasure.

1936.
The Giza Plateau, Egypt.

For more than 3,000 years,

the body of the Great Sphinx had
been buried beneath the sand.

But after 11 years of work,
Egyptian archaeologists uncover

the entire monument for the
first time since antiquity.

At 241 feet long
and 66 feet high,

it is the largest and oldest
monolithic statue in the world.

Even more incredible is it's shape.

The Sphinx has the head of a man
and the body of a lion.

Although egyptologists date the
construction of The Great Sphinx

to the reign of the Pharaoh Khafra,
in approximately 2500 B.C.

Others claim its construction
could be much, much older.

The orthodox date about 2500 BC
tagged on these monuments,

has been challenged by a
group of researchers including myself.

would argue that the erosion in the Sphinx
suggest much, much older Sphinx.

Although egyptologists have found
no agreement as to when or why

the strange monument was built.
Ancient astronaut theorists

believe it may over prove
of extraterrestrials

being present in ancient Egypt.

We see in many ancient Sumerian
and Egyptian inscriptions

of sphinxes half man, half animal
of some kind and it varies

to a degree of different combinations
of animals and human beings.

We have to wonder why would they
be doing this and logically

it starts to make more sense when we
realize a lot of these ancient techs,

explain that extraterrestrials came here
and created those in their image

and after their likeness.

NOORY: If you believe the work
of the late Zecharia Sitchin

where he believes that the Anunnaki,
came from a planet

that is somewhere out in our Solar system
and that they came here to mine for gold.

But they figured they are not
gonna do the work by themselves.

So they decided to take what
creatures were on this planet at that time

genetically altered them
and make mankind.

If that is the case, it is very possible
that they are using genetic alterations,

to experiment with,
not only just humanity

but a mixing of other
species with humanity.

Could the Great Sphinx be the evidence
of genetic engineering by ancient aliens?

And if as Zecharia Sitchin proposed
extraterrestrials were genetically

altering humans and animals
for the purpose of mining gold.

Might this enormous structure
have at one point

been repository for that gold?

Is it possible that when Egyptian archeologists
began excavating the Great Sphinx

what they were really
searching for was gold?

Over the centuries, secret chambers,
shafts and elaborate tunnel systems,

have indeed been discovered
all around the Giza Plateau.

A shaft was discovered,
called the Osirian Shaft

which led under the Giza Plateau
behind the Sphinx.

Now, in that shaft there
are various passageways,

that lead seemingly nowhere.

In recent years, ground-penetrating
radar, or GPR scans

have been conducted which reveals evidence
of numerous underground cavities

located not only around the Sphinx
but underneath it as well.

From a scientific point of view, a lot about
speculation and theories,

and legends and so forth,
there was a very first time

that there's some strong indication that

there might be these hidden tunnels
and chambers under the Sphinx.

And according to this, they
found very strong evidence

of what looks like
artificial chambers.

It is not a question as to whether or not,
there is a secret underground passage

underneath the Giza Plateau.

The question is can we get access to this,
and of course a more important question is

if there is something of extraordinary value
or even something which defies science

which may even be of
an extraterrestrial nature.

If the alleged cavities
under the sphinx

contain not only gold,
but gold mined by ancient alien beings

might it also contain
something even more

than just material treasure.

Ancient astronauts theories believe
an elaborate secret depository

is located under the Sphinx's paws
known as the Hall of Records.

It dates back to the fall of Atlantis,
which according to ancient texts,

it's said to have occurred
nearly 12,000 years ago.

They also claim that there were
extraterrestrials living in Atlantis.

and they needed a repository to house
all their accumulated knowledge.

ERICH VON DANIKEN: The Hall of Record
was made by us but with the tools,

the knowledge of extraterrestrials.

BAUVAL: It is speculated that
a group of survivors of Atlantis,

came to Egypt at about 10,500 BC brought
along with their records, their knowledge

and built this storeroom
somewhere at Giza.

If archeologists do some day
unearth secret chambers

below the Sphinx,
what will they find?

Gold, a library of ancient
extraterrestrial knowledge

or might they perhaps find both.

HENRY: My personal view is that
it would be loaded with gold technology,

technology that once
belonged to the Gods

that will help us answer
who built the pyramids,

how they built it and likely
there's a portal, or gateway

that leads us to the stars
within this Hall of Records.

If the Hall of Records really does exist,
is it possible that it contains

is it possible that it contains
extra-terrestrial knowledge

not on ancient ***,
but stored on gold?

Gold is a pretty amazing metal.

Gold is one of the best conductors
of electricity we have

which is obviously very
important in electronic applications,

Not you only need a really good conductor,
but you need one that won't corrode.

And so gold when you really really need
high-quality, long-lasting, good electronics,

it's really the choice
that you would make.

NARRATOR: Is the ancient knowledge,
not only stored with gold

but stored on gold, really the mysterious
secret of this precious metal?

Perhaps the answer lies
hidden 18,000 miles away

deep beneath the church
in Rennes-Le-Ch�teau, France.

The village of Rennes-Le-Ch�teau, France

January 29th, 1953

Marie D�narnaud, a frail 85-year-old
woman, lies on her deathbed

promising to divulge a long held secret
about a vast treasure.

But a recent stroke has left her
unable to speak or write

and her secret dies with her.

KATHLEEN McGOWAN: Before Marie's death,
she had promised to tell someone

the secret. I will tell you the secret,
and you will be rich

beyond your wildest dreams.

And what she said was
the people of this village

walk on enough gold to
make them wealthy for a 100 years

and they have no idea.

And the secret, she was
never able to speak it

after she had her stroke.
So what was Marie talking about?

NARRATOR: Legends of a vast gold treasure
hidden at Renne-le-chateau

date all the way back to the 5th century,
when after sacking Rome, in 410 AD.

Germanic warriors known as the Visigoths
made their way to the area

with all the stolen treasure
they could carry.

But when they abandoned the region,
some 200 years later

they reportedly left some of
their ill-gotten wealth behind.

McGOWAN: The Visigoths were known to have
buried treasure with their dead.

So when Rennes-Le-Ch�teau became
significant because of this idea

that there might be
gold buried there.

NARRATOR: For hundreds of years, the rumors
of buried treasure persisted

although no tangible evidence of it
was ever found.

But then in 1891,
a young parish priest

named B�renger Sauni�re,
was restoring the local church

when according to popular legend,
he discovered something

that turned him into
an extremely wealthy man

almost over night.

CHILDRESS: This wealth that he had was
part of a vast golden treasure

that was kept underground in this church
in a weird series of catacombs.

These catacombs of
Rennes-Le-Ch�teau were ancient.

They had been there long
before the church had been built.

And here's an area that
*** of these caves

that were used by the Visigoths.

DOBLER: I lived here 16 years and we
know here's a tunnel under this garden.

It comes along this way
from the castle

until to the church, and
it runs this, in this way...

COPPENS: There have been
people who have been coming here

since the 1950s in search of
gold, and some have found it.

The question is whether finding
gold is everything there is to

this mystery or whether it's
just the first step along many

steps to go before we actually
uncover the real mystery of

Rennes-Le-Ch�teau.

NARRATOR: Although Father
Sauni�re claimed to have come

upon this vast wealth by chance,
many believe he actively

searched for the Visigoth gold.
And that much more still lies

hidden in the catacombs
beneath the church.

But even more mysterious than
the priest's possible discovery

of gold was his strange behavior
afterwards, a behavior that

became reflected in the design
of the church itself.

COPPENS: B�renger Sauni�re is
a guy who goes in search of

ancient documents, who goes in
search of certain specific

knowledge in alchemical circles.
So what we have found in

a lot of other alchemical processes
is the importance of gold.

What happens next is that
he begins to build a church.

He builds it according to a plan.

This plan is to make contact
with the divine, and so I think.

Sauni�re realized that certain
metals could be transformed into

something which truly
made it a spiritual experience.

Might the golden treasure Father
Sauni�re supposedly unearthed

have contained more than just
monetary value?

Could it have held some
otherworldly knowledge?

The priest confided in only one
other person as to the origin of

this mysterious wealth, his
housekeeper Marie D�narnaud.

But what was the secret
that they shared?

Ancient astronaut theorists
believe a clue may lie

in the inscription found over
the door of the church.

MCGOWAN: B�renger Sauni�re
placed an inscription over the door

that people have been
talking about for 100 years.

The inscription says
"Terribilis est locus iste."

It's mistakenly translated most
often as "This place is terrible"

but, in fact, the inscription comes
from the Old Testament,

from the Book of Genesis.

Jacob has a dream about a ladder
that connects Heaven to Earth,

where humans could
connect to the divine.

So when you look at
the Old Testament translation,

what it really says is
"This place is awesome".

Is this inscription from
the Old Testament of the

Hebrew Bible a reference
to something divine,

or might it point to an
extraterrestrial connection?

HENRY: I believe Rennes-Le-Ch�teau
could be a stargate to another world.

This is based on the inscription

placed above the entrance to the
church by B�renger Sauni�re.

Why would this priest
put this inscription there

unless he is indicating that is awesome
and tremendously powerful place.

Rennes-Le-Ch�teau is
a gateway to the stars?

Rennes-Le-Ch�teau, to me,
is one of the spookiest

and most powerful places
I've ever been.

The ground there is
oozing mystery.

COPPENS: We know that people
have said that Rennes-Le-Ch�teau

is a place for UFOs.

We know people have
reported time slips.

And people have said that they
have had encounters with the Devil.

So there is definitely something
about that area which suggests

that, for centuries, very strange
and bizarre things happened.

Could this tiny village
be a gateway to an

extraterrestrial past
or even another dimension?

Perhaps the answer lies buried
with Marie D�narnaud.

Or, as some believe, the secrets
of Rennes-Le-Ch�teau might

still be revealed.
And the answer may lie not

in France but just to the north,
in Scotland.

Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland.
Perched atop a hill overlooking

the village of Roslin, seven
miles south of Edinburgh,

sits this medieval 15th
century church.

Some say that, hidden on the
grounds, in secret chambers

within the church, are some of
the world's greatest lost relics.

Including the treasure
of the Knights Templar.

This elite band of warrior monks...

(sword slashes)
...had been based at the Temple Mount

in Jerusalem
during the Christian Crusades.

They were also rumored to have
been in possession of many

valuable religious artifacts...
including the most valuable

golden relic of all...

the Holy Grail...

the cup used by Jesus during
the Last Supper.

CHILDRESS: The Knights Templar
began excavating at Solomon's Temple.

They said that they discovered
secret caverns

which held a huge horde
of gold artifacts.

At the time of the sacking
of the Solomon's temple,

the treasure there
suddenly vanished.

They then took this treasure to Scotland
and buried it at Rosslyn Chapel.

HENRY: Rosslyn Chapel is one
of the most fascinating

possible recreations
of Solomon's Temple.

It literally is a Holy Grail temple, that
was constructed by William Sinclair

and it is designed to be a repository
of Holy Grail secrets.

When it was created it had
the most wonderful and fantastic

symbolism perhaps
anywhere in the world.

Could Rosslyn Chapel really been
built to house the Holy Grail?

Some believe the architecture
of the Chapel is adorned with mysterious

messages and symbols that reveal
the secret whereabouts

of the cup of Christ.

RITCHIE: And here we are,
this is Rosslyn Chapel.

William Sinclair was
responsible for building the Chapel.

He was a very rich individual, he
was the Chancellor of Scotland at the time.

McGOWAN: We see these extraordinarily
gifted brilliant men collecting

the wisdom traditions
from around the world

and stealing all of those
into Rosslyn Chapel.

Among the many carvings found in the
walls of Rosslyn Chapel are faces called,

"The Green Men", pagan deities
that represent growth and rebirth.

Some believe these strange faces
provide a clue that the chapel

truly does hold the Holy Grail.

RITCHIE: The carvings
themselves have a dual meaning;

they always have
had a dual meaning.

McGOWAN: The Green Man appears
in over 110 different locations.

As you watch the progression of
the Green Man from east to west,

that progression represents
the passing of time.

JOHN RITCHIE: So all the
youngest of all the Green Man

carvings are on the eastern wall, and
towards the west they become older.

HENRY: This symbolizes
the ultimate secrets of nature,

and it makes one wonder if,
in fact, the Grail is connected

with these secrets and the presence of
the Green Man in this Holy Grail chapel.

(Gregorian chanting)

NARRATOR: But if the Holy Grail truly
does reside in Rosslyn Chapel,

where might it be hidden?

Some believe it lies within an ornate
pillar called the Apprentice Pillar,

and at least one person has actually
attempted to retrieve it.

COPPENS: We actually have a story
which is known to be factual

a person came into
the Chapel, with an ax

who was going to be intend
on hacking down the Apprentice Pillar

because he was convinced that
the Grail was actually inside.

What is the Grail? What it *** to say
is the Grail is your DNA.

Because it's your past and it's your future.

And a very interesting thing is
when you look at that Pillar

you see that it is
actually the DNA form.

Might all these mysterious carvings that
have been linked to the Holy Grail

indicate that the chalice used
by Jesus at the Last Supper

was something more
than just a drinking vessel?

TSOULAKOS: The whole story is very
fascinating to the ancient **** theory.

Wolfram von Eschenbach, for example,
suggests that the Holy Grail

arrived from the stars.

And the question is, what
did he mean by that?

It is often described as this
vessel that had blinking red lights.

Were the Templar in possession
of some technological device?

NARRATOR: Could the Holy Grail really
be an ancient link

between Jesus and some spiritual
or otherworldly power?

And might finding it provide
proof of a link between

ourselves and an
extraterrestrial origin?

If so, might this mysterious church,
like others so-called.

"Temples of Gold" in Peru...

Egypt...

and France...

contain treasure far more valuable
than mere monetary wealth?

COPPENS: Whether we are
in Rosslyn Chapel, whether we

are in Rennes-Le-Ch�teau,
we always go back underneath

the earth, where there might not just
be spiritual treasure to be found,

but also physical treasure.

HENRY: Gold has been one of
the most important quests of all

ancient and sacred traditions.
Gold symbolizes wealth.

It symbolizes power.

But ultimately, gold represents
our connection with the stars.

Cultures all over the world value gold
more than anything else, and it seems that

they knew something about gold
that we are yet to discover.

NARRATOR: Could gold actually
be the ultimate link between

humans and otherworldly beings.

A tangible connection to
extraterrestrial ancestors

that came to Earth
thousands of years ago?

Perhaps.

But if the search for gold
really is one of the reasons why

ancient aliens traveled to the
third planet from the sun,

one more question remains:

Will they return for more?
