TOK THOMPSON: The Aboriginal peoples of Australia
are one of the world's
very, very oldest cultures.
KEVIN GAVI DUNCAN: Our stories
are older than the Stonehenge in England.
They're 20 or 30,000 years older
than the pyramids of Egypt.
DAVID CHILDRESS: If you look
at these Wandjina figures
in the cave art,
these figures look exactly like Grey aliens.
Wow.
GARY SIMON JAGAMARRA: We carved them, we sang them,
we danced them in stories,
we painted them,
so when the visitors left,
we didn't forget about them.
NARRATOR: Since the dawn of civilization,
mankind has credited its origins
to gods and other visitors from the stars.
What if it were true?
Did extraterrestrial beings
really help to shape our history?
And if so,
might the secrets of our past
have been entrusted...
to Australia's Wisdom Keepers?
*
NARRATOR: In 2015, documentary filmmaker
Damien Nott released an archive of over 2,000 UFO images
taken over the skies of Australia
in the past three years.
DAMIEN NOTT: Oh, my God.
WOMAN: It seems to be, like, illuminating.
NOTT: It's actually morphing shape
and rotating as well.
-WOMAN: Yeah. -This is phenomenal.
Australia is certainly a hot spot
for UFO sightings.
We've had a phenomenal growth in the reporting
of UFO sightings by the general public,
especially since the advent of the Internet.
But all evidence shows that UFOs
have definitely been visiting Australia
for tens of thousands of years.
We've had records engraved on cave artwork
by the Australian Aborigines,
which goes back thousands of years.
Australia is one of the most mysterious continents,
and the Aboriginals have all kinds
of ancient stories
of sky gods coming down.
These are probably some of the oldest stories
of extraterrestrial intervention
that we have on Planet Earth.
Australia was something of a last frontier
long after America was settled.
Well, it was 1770
that the British explorer Captain Cook
actually came across Australia,
and it wasn't until 1788
that it was really settled--
that was the east coast of Australia--
settled by convicts.
That's what the British brought
from their prisons.
NARRATOR: Today, the area of Sydney
that the British first settled
is a bustling metropolis,
and Australia has become
one of the most popular tourist destinations on Earth.
But hidden behind this modern facade
is nearly 2h million square miles
of undeveloped and sparsely populated land,
known as the outback.
And while Australia is a relatively new land
to the Western world,
for the nearly 700,000 people
that call the continent their ancestral home,
it has a history that dates back
tens of thousands of years.
THOMPSON: There is something very, very special
about Australia.
Here we have a situation where this huge land mass has been
pretty much cut off from the rest of the world
for 40,000 years.
And we don't really find that
in-in many other places in the world.
NARRATOR: But what was happening on this island continent
for the tens of thousands of years
that it existed in isolation?
DUNCAN: When the first Europeans arrived here,
they didn't have much knowledge
in regards to the sky world,
where our people had much
ancient knowledge of the star system,
and the constellation of the stars.
Our knowledge and wisdom is so old.
NARRATOR: Anthropologists have dated the existence
of the Australian Aboriginal people back 60,000 years,
making it the most ancient continuous culture in the world.
THOMPSON: The Aboriginal peoples of Australia,
are one of the world's very, very oldest cultures.
No other cultures in the world
can compare with the Australian cultures.
They have knowledge that's been around for a lot longer
than really any of our knowledge has been around.
NARRATOR: The Aboriginal people
have no official written language.
Art, music, and oral storytelling
are how they pass their histories and sacred knowledge
to future generations.
Their past is encoded
on various rock walls
scattered across the continent.
Our oral traditions, our stories
that are passed down from generation to generation,
the wisdom and knowledge
that have been given to us by our god,
they're 10,000 or more years older
than the Stonehenge in England.
They're 20,000 or 30,000 years older
than the pyramids of Egypt.
NARRATOR: These ancient traditions
are all strongly tied
to Australia's connection
with the stars, and with the beings
that are said to have come down from them.
As evidence, ancient astronaut theorists
point to the caves of the Northwest Kimberley region
that contain depictions of beings called the Wandjina,
the sky heroes of one of Australia's indigenous clans.
The Aboriginals have all kinds
of ancient stories
of Wandjina figures,
of great heroes
and sky gods who manipulated the continent
and created the rivers and mountains,
and fought amongst each other, and then they left.
If you look at these Wandjina figures in the cave art,
they have big white faces.
They have really no mouth to speak of.
They have very large, black eyes,
and there's a field around their heads
that's like a space helmet, perhaps.
So, in many ways these Wandjina figures
look exactly like Grey aliens.
And you have to wonder, then,
if the cave art is depicting extraterrestrials.
NARRATOR: Could these images really be depicting
extraterrestrials that visited Australia in the ancient past?
And if so, do the indigenous people living in Australia today
still have insight into the meaning
behind this ancient rock art?
JAGAMARRA: We all have stories
of people in crafts
coming from the stars,
going to the stars, and so on.
In order to keep them,
pass them down to next generation,
we carved them, we painted them,
we sung them.
We danced them in stories
to guarantee that they passed down.
So when the visitors left,
we didn't forget about them.
And we never forget about the things
that they passed down to us,
and the knowledge they passed down.
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Australia is one of the few places
where we still have living mythologies
where we can talk to the people whose story
has been passed down
over thousands of generations.
And they talk of teachers having descended from the sky,
and bestowed any and all of knowledge to mankind.
So this, to me, is an incredible treasure trove
for the ancient astronaut theory.
NARRATOR: Might the indigenous people of Australia,
who carry an oral tradition
that dates back tens of thousands of years,
really hold secrets of humanity's past
that the outside world has yet to discover?
Perhaps more evidence can be found
by examining the depiction
of one of their most important sky gods.
NARRATOR: Brisbane Water National Park.
New South Wales, Australia.
The Bulgandry preservation site
is one of numerous sacred indigenous locations
where ancient rock art and engravings can be found.
Many are believed to date back thousands of years.
Oh, wow.
NARRATOR: In February 2016,
researcher and publisher Giorgio Tsoukalos
traveled to Australia
to meet with Aboriginal elder Kevin Gavi Duncan
to learn about one of the oldest carvings that can be found here.
So what are we looking at here?
So this image is an actual image
of what we say is our Godfather creator being, Baiame.
That's what our people believe.
Okay.
Baiame came from, well,
a place that we call the Morning Star
within the Mirrabooka.
"Mirra" means stars,
and "booka" means river.
That is the Milky Way that flows across the-the night sky.
No kidding? Okay.
And so he is one of those sky heroes
that has descended from the Milky Way?
Yes.
He's a sky hero, and
Baiame is carved in the manner that you see there--
he has his arms out,
and he holds the moon in one hand...
...and the Morning Star in the other,
which is a bit like what we call Planet Earth.
And these are
the two moons which exist
around the Morning Star in the Mirrabooka
that Baiame came from.
TSOUKALOS: Mm-hmm.
And this is the canoe.
He sailed through the river of life, um, in the Mirrabooka
across the sky world.
TSOUKALOS: So, he sailed through the Milky Way?
DUNCAN: Yes, he sailed through the Milky Way...
and this was his vessel that he sailed,
and he landed, to the earth...
and he crushed the top of the mountain,
which is the sacred mountain of Mount Yengo
not far from here.
And when he landed they said the fire came from his feet
and it burnt the mount-- top of the mountain,
and all around it every time he landed.
So, the landings were always associated
with a lot of noise, smoke
-and fire? -Yes.
The fire trail that was left when Baiame was leaving
the top of the mountain into the sky world,
when Baiame had left, was so bright,
people interpret that as a spaceship of some kind...
TSOUKALOS: Yeah.
DUNCAN: ...as coming and going,
but this is the way we simply interpret
Baiame's spaceship.
Right, but it's because the vocabulary
didn't exist at the time.
-Yes. -So, to me, those are all
wonderfully poetic ways to describe eyewitness accounts
of things that were incredible.
DUNCAN: Yes.
This site is considered
around 8,000 to 10,000 years old.
Wow.
DUNCAN: These carvings,
these rock paintings, these are our books.
They are considered to be,
basically, as truth.
NARRATOR: While many in the Western world
regard indigenous tales as folklore,
it has recently been found that at least some
of their stories are historically accurate.
In September 2015,
scientists studying Aboriginal lore
of past sea level rise found corroboration
in the geological record.
Incredibly, the information was faithfully preserved
even though these events occurred somewhere
between 7,000 to 18,000 years ago.
Similar findings noting the accuracy of indigenous myths
have been published since the 1980s,
including knowledge of tsunamis,
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
meteorite impacts, and solar eclipses in the remote past.
Australia has been a fascinating area where many different people
working on different aspects
such as sea level rises, meteorite craters,
extinct animals, have found that
Australian lore, their folklore,
actually seems to remember, and encode, and be able to discuss
events thousands of years old.
In some cases, 7,000, 10,000 years old.
We just don't really see that sort of thing
very often in the world,
in terms of, uh, this incredible long, uh,
accumulation of knowledge.
WILLIAM HENRY: Their stories of events that happened
12,000 years ago, maybe older, have now been verified
by the geological record.
This is extremely important
because if they're telling the truth about geological events,
can we then take at face value
their stories or their
recollections of extraterrestrial beings,
spirit beings, sky beings, coming to Earth
and intervening in human affairs?
I believe that we can.
NARRATOR: Might the Aboriginal stories
of sky beings not be myth but actual historical fact?
Could their creator gods have been extraterrestrial visitors?
Perhaps further clues can be
found by examining evidence
of an ancient pilgrimage to Australia
made by the Egyptians.
NARRATOR: Central Coast,
New South Wales, Australia.
Deep in the Brisbane Water National Park
is a mysterious site known as the Gosford Glyphs.
The site consists of two massive, eight-foot-high walls
engraved with over 300 ancient carvings,
carvings that experts say do not resemble indigenous artwork,
but Egyptian hieroglyphs.
After deciphering the texts,
21st century Egyptologist Ray Johnson believed them to reveal
the burial site of Lord Nefer-ti-ru,
a member of the Egyptian royal family
who died while visiting the area
with his brother sometime between 2637
and 2614 BC.
Absolutely beautiful out here.
Oh, I know.
NARRATOR: While visiting the area in 2016, Giorgio Tsoukalos
met with local ancient astronaut theorist Evan Strong
to get a firsthand look at these enigmatic carvings.
-And here we are. -Wow.
That's incredible.
I had no idea, I mean,
this looks totally different than on pictures.
So, what do these
-hieroglyphs say? -Well...
at least one panel talks about two brothers,
two princes, coming here from Egypt.
They were shipwrecked.
One of them ended up getting bitten by a snake.
He then died.
The theory is, then,
he was interred here,
and that's why
-you've got hieroglyphs here... -Mm-hmm.
...because he died here...
but there's these other walls
with a mixture of symbols.
This one over here, it's-it's more
of a philosophical astrophysics style thing
with symbols meaning all sorts of esoteric stuff, so...
Now, h-have these symbols at all been interpreted
by Egyptologists?
There have been a-a few, actually.
Mm-hmm.
Um, a few different, um, people have done that.
And what was their reaction?
Well, Raymond Johnson was one of the first people
to come here and-and translate.
He actually sent some of his translations off
to the Cairo Library, and Dr. Abou Dia' Ghazi
ended up saying, "Yep, you're on the right track."
It's something called proto-Egyptian.
And how old do you reckon these are?
We're thinking because of the prevalence, at least in one,
uh, panel of proto-Egyptian, that it's about 4,600 years old.
TSOUKALOS: Wow.
Are there any hieroglyphs
that stand out to you?
Yeah, definitely.
Follow me down here
and I'll show you this other one.
So, this one here, um, we call the UFO glyph
and people have called it that since they've been coming here
because it kind of
looks like a UFO.
TSOUKALOS: It definitely has the classic UFO shape.
It's-it's got the... the rays
or whatever you want to call it.
What would you suggest if anyone says, well,
this is not a UFO, it's-it's some other symbol
that-- but certainly not that?
I think that someone suggested that it's jewelry
but it's a completely different symbol that's upside down
and it really doesn't quite fit in.
It's one of those symbols here
that-that doesn't fit into the canon.
In your opinion,
why do you think the Egyptians
made it all the way to Australia?
I think they were looking for esoteric wisdom, definitely.
-From the Aboriginals? -Yes.
DUNCAN: The ancient Egyptians, we have stories,
and Aboriginal stories,
about their arrival, and about their visits
long before Europeans had arrived here.
Naturally,
we would have shared ceremony
with these people because they
have the same similar beliefs
as our people.
Egyptians have that same spiritual connection
to the sky world.
Many stories
from all over this continent,
not just from here, but all over this continent,
talk about those who came by the sea
and came to these continents, and some of our knowledge
and wisdom and technology went back with them,
and if you do some of the research,
in the last pyramids that they found,
they found boomerangs
made from iron bark from here,
and they have hieroglyphs of black fellows
throwing the boomerangs to take out the ducks and the geese.
Now the question would be, why would they paint us
and carve us on their walls if they didn't come here?
And if that meeting and relationship
was not significant, they wouldn't have carved it.
It must've been significant in order to carve.
NARRATOR: Aboriginal artifacts
found in Egypt?
Hieroglyphs found in Australia?
Might the continent have
actually served as a pilgrimage site for visitors
seeking a direct connection to the so-called gods?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and suggest further evidence of this otherworldly link
can be found in a megalithic structure lost to time.
NARRATOR: Mullumbimby,
New South Wales, 1939.
Frederic Slater,
the president of the Australian Archaeology Society,
was dispatched to investigate
the discovery of a complex Aboriginal arrangement
consisting of 188 standing stones.
Slater dubbed the formation
the "Stonehenge of Australia"
and became convinced that it
was one of the oldest temple complexes in the world,
predating those found in Europe and the Middle East.
Frederic Slater found that the site he was investigating
was part of a larger, much larger site,
and fitted in very closely
with Aboriginal sacred law, myths and legends.
After a time, Frederic Slater began to posit
and suggest that instead of out of Africa,
that maybe we should reexamine
the evolution of man as out of Australia.
He took a massive leap
and started declaring that in ancient times in Australia,
the Aborigines were more advanced
than any culture that he could recount on the planet.
He was declared almost insane
by the rest of the academic community.
The landowners were so terrified of the controversy
that it implied that it was
pretty much destroyed by bulldozers.
CHILDRESS: There are many stone circles, uh,
throughout the British Isles and Europe.
Stonehenge is one of the most well known.
And they all have some relationship
to astronomical observatories.
This Aboriginal Stonehenge
would really alter the way we think of the Aboriginals
and the sophistication of their society.
Where they had astronomical and archaeoastronomical
structures that helped them monitor the heavens,
much as standing stones in Europe would have done.
DUNCAN: For our people, it went beyond the paintings
and the carvings into stone arrangements.
We would arrange in certain patterns,
which relate to the constellation of the stars,
in regards to our connectedness with the sky world
and where we originate from.
NARRATOR: Could the so-called
Aboriginal Stonehenge provide us insight
into the other stone arrangements
found scattered throughout the world?
If so, might they serve to provide a permanent record
of a significant connection to another world?
Uluru Rock, also known as Ayers Rock,
is located nearly in the center of the continent,
over 1,200 miles
from the nearest major Australian city.
This geological anomaly
is one of the largest isolated rocks in the world.
It is over two miles long
and rises over 1,100 feet.
It is, in fact,
the exposed tip of a huge vertical slab of rock
that continues below the surface
for three miles.
It is a huge sedimentary boulder
that's gigantic,
sitting there in the middle of the desert.
And geologists cannot really explain
how Ayers Rock came to be.
It's almost as if it was lifted up
from somewhere else
and brought to the center of the continent
and then just dumped there.
NARRATOR: For the indigenous population,
Uluru is one of their most sacred sites
and a place of pilgrimage.
They consider it the navel of the earth.
THOMPSON: For the Aboriginal cosmologies,
a lot of times the landscape itself
is sort of like the Bible and Heaven, rolled into one.
So, in places like Uluru, Ayers Rock,
this rock is of great significance
because they built this into their cultural memories
of when the world was formed by sky spirits coming to Earth.
NARRATOR: The creation stories at Uluru Rock
are primarily associated with the rainbow serpent.
This divine being is said to have come out of the sky
at the beginning of time,
and held in its belly all of creation,
including the first human beings.
DUNCAN: The Rainbow Serpent, we call Gria.
And the Rainbow Serpent is related
to all Aboriginal nations right across Australia.
And it connects us all as Aboriginal people,
because it was regarded
as a very sacred symbol of creation.
STRONG: An elder we're in good contact with
told us a story about Uluru,
which is quite fascinating.
That we were actually seeded from the spear
from the Pleiades through space.
And it actually hit the ground,
and where that place was is Uluru.
So Uluru and its creation story with the rainbow serpent
could perhaps even be indicative
of an ancient astronaut
kind of seeding moment in-in our history.
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists have long proposed
that Earth was seeded by alien visitors in the remote past.
Might this be true?
And if so, do the Aboriginal stories
reflect this truth?
When the first Europeans arrived here,
Captain Phillip, who was an English sailor,
planted the Union Jack in Sydney,
and he asked Aboriginal people
around that time, he said, "Where do you people come from?"
And our people would always just point to the sky.
He couldn't believe that such people,
who were grounded by Mother Earth,
say that they come from the sky world.
NARRATOR: Might humanity actually have been seeded
on Earth from another planet,
as the Aboriginal elders claim?
And could this truth be encoded in the Australian landscape,
preserved for future generations?
Researchers suggest some sacred Aboriginal sites
continue to serve as extraterrestrial outposts.
(wind whistling)
NARRATOR: The Blue Mountains.
Australia.
Throughout the walls of Red Hands Cave
are the stenciled handprints
of ancient Aboriginal men, women and children.
The art stands as a testament
to their physical time here on Earth,
hundreds and possibly even thousands of years ago.
According to local elders,
the location served
as an initiation site for young warriors.
And it was here that the collective wisdom
of the land and the sky
was passed on to future generations by the sky gods.
We leave our images on the cave walls,
such as our handprints,
from the time we are, uh, children.
This would be done generation after generation.
The Blue Mountains is a very sacred area,
a sacred place,
especially the highest places,
because we were being closer to Baiame,
closer to God.
NARRATOR: Mount Yengo-- the original point of descent
of the Aboriginal creator god, Baiame--
is located here,
within the Blue Mountain range.
And curiously, the area is also well-known today
for the mysterious disappearances
of numerous hikers...
campers...
and soldiers...
in addition to countless UFO sightings.
Australia's Blue Mountains have become internationally known
as a hot spot for UFO sightings and other mysteries.
There is certainly a lot of mystery in the Blue Mountains.
Campers, bushwalkers, explorers...
all have got tales of mystery,
disappearing people,
strange tunnels,
strange noises
and strange creature sightings.
The UFO sightings of the Blue Mountains
have triggered many magazine articles, radio shows and books.
A lot of people have come forward
over the last few decades to document
and put onto the record their own experiences.
We have a great tradition of some hundreds of sightings.
I myself have gathered
about 600, 800 sightings or so of UFOs.
And it's growing all the time, in my own lifetime.
We have stories of UFOs amongst early pioneer settlers
dating back to... 1850, thereabouts.
There's a story from about the 1890s
of a farmer who was plowing his field and a craft,
a silver craft, came over the cliffs.
He stood there and watched it while it disappeared.
It came back after dark and landed there.
And he grabbed his rifle and went out to see
what was going on, and the craft took off again.
I would suggest that the Blue Mountains
have served as a contact point for E.T.s
from an advanced civilization in space.
CAROLINE CORY: What is interesting to note
is that there are
several umbilical cords on the planet.
This particular location is located exactly
at -33 latitude.
Which means it is aligned specifically
with the center of the galaxy.
Now having said that, there's an interesting parallel
with the 33 latitude
on Planet Earth.
And that particular point is considered to be
continuously being visited
from different parts of the planetary system,
from different parts of the galaxy,
and even from beyond this galaxy,
from way out in the universe.
MAN: Wow.
WOMAN: Yeah, did you see that thing?
CHILDRESS: There is a lot of UFO activity.
So here, we have something that would be like a stargate,
some portal to another dimension and jumping to hyperspace,
perhaps, and for some reason,
Australia was the place where they put
this hyperspace portal that is used by extraterrestrials.
NARRATOR: Could the Blue Mountains of Australia function
as an extraterrestrial gateway?
Might this explain the strange phenomena
reported in and around the area?
But if so, is there some connection
to the local Aboriginal tribe?
DUNCAN: There is stories that elders would say
that some people had actually traveled
back to the Morning Star...
and have come back again.
That's not so much of an abduction,
but they have basically went--
have gone back there and come back.
ROADS: The Australian Aborigines
have a connection and a relationship
with what we call extraterrestrials and UFOs,
which goes back tens of thousands of years.
They're rather nonplussed by their existence.
They have developed
an awareness of individual types of visitors
from what we'd call outer space.
This is not new.
This has happened thousands of times before.
How do we know that?
From all of the remnants that are left behind
by the ancients.
Only a fool could say, "Oh, no.
"We're the only ones here
in this vast amount of space."
NARRATOR: Might the indigenous Australians really
have an ongoing relationship to otherworldly beings?
Beings who have been visiting the continent
for thousands of years?
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest further evidence
of extraterrestrial contact can be found
by examining the Aboriginal rituals known
as "dreaming."
NARRATOR: As the bustling streets
of Sydney fill with workers and tourists--
over 500 miles away,
Aboriginal elders known as "men of learning"
prepare for a dreaming ceremony.
Dreaming is sacred to the culture
and represents a complex spiritual concept
that transcends linear time.
JAGAMARRA: In the beginning,
there was great spirit.
From the stars they came,
and they came down
to this place.
YOUNG: The elders,
the spiritual leaders of the Aboriginal peoples,
will-will not only chant, but use hypnotic techniques
like the didgeridoo, which makes this humming sound.
(didgeridoo droning)
(singing in native language)
It will take you into an altered state.
It takes them into connection with the Dreamtime,
the unseen worlds,
to commune with the ancestors,
the sky gods.
The Dreamtime is this vast storehouse
of accumulated wisdom
and images and stories.
And it's like other traditions that believe there is a place
that everything that has happened is recorded
and can be reached by the elders through their altered states.
(chanting)
THOMPSON: There's probably no more fundamental concept
in Aboriginal cosmology than the concept of the dreaming.
Sometimes this is referred to as "the Dreamtime."
And this is the idea of this mythic beginnings of the world,
but it's important in that it's a sort of transcendent time.
And what I mean by that is in their view,
it's never gone away.
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that in many ways, the concept of Dreamtime
mirrors the ancient Hindu idea of the Akashic record...
a collection of past, present,
and future knowledge believed to be encoded
in a non-physical existence
known as the astral plane.
HENRY: The Akashic records are sort of like a giant hologram,
a holographic world that we can step into to gain wisdom,
access knowledge...
perhaps even to connect
with extraterrestrial beings.
It's pretty remarkable that the Aborigines would have a concept,
the Dreamtime, that matches not only the Akashic records,
but also the idea of a holographic paradigm.
NARRATOR: In 1997,
theoretical physicists proposed a revolutionary idea
called the holographic paradigm.
Curiously, this theory mirrors the ancient concept
shared by the indigenous Australians
and also the Hindu tradition.
The holographic universe theory
suggests that the world that we see
is a mere projection from a 2-D space.
What we perceive as physical objects
are actually projected fragments of data.
YOUNG: There is a fascinating idea
that perhaps the universe is not three-dimensional.
That it's a projection
from a two-dimensional slide of some kind.
That it's a-a hologram--
something like The Matrix, in the movie--
and that we are walking around inside of what seems like 3-D,
but in fact is an illusion.
NARRATOR: While this incredible theory
may seem far-fetched,
in 2013, researchers at Ibaraki University in Japan
found that the theoretical model is mathematically feasible
and might actually be correct.
CHILDRESS: We have this parallel
between the Aboriginal Dreamtime,
the Hindu Akashic record,
and the Holographic Universe Theory--
what would appear to be
some kind of extraterrestrial technology
that's putting all the information of the universe
into one spot.
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the Aboriginal elders are tapping
into an otherworldly plane when they perform their ceremonies?
A plane that our greatest scientific minds
don't yet fully understand?
If so, does this provide evidence
of a maintained connection between this indigenous culture
and advanced extraterrestrial beings?
TSOUKALOS: We have to remind ourselves that the Aboriginals
are our last direct connection to our extraterrestrial past.
It would behoove us to listen,
because one thing is clear to me today--
their stories are very clear in their message
that we are not alone in the universe.
DUNCAN: We are the extraterrestrials.
Our body is made up of this earth,
but our spirit comes from the Morning Star.
We come from another place, from another world.
We were brought here a long time ago to populate this place
everyone now calls Earth.
NARRATOR: Might the Aboriginal Wisdom Keepers serve
as a direct link to our extraterrestrial creators?
And could there be messages
left behind for mankind encoded
in their sacred traditions?
As we stand at the threshold of a new level
of science and understanding,
perhaps we will discover that the stories
of the world's oldest living culture
not only reveal our true origins...
but also our destiny.
