1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:07,110
NARRATOR:
Taurus, Leo, Gemini, Aries.
2
00:00:07,290 --> 00:00:10,800
Are the constellations
of the night sky merely meant
3
00:00:10,890 --> 00:00:12,420
to map the stars,
4
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,380
or could they be something more?
5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,340
JONATHAN YOUNG:
In ancient times, there was
a fortune-telling quality
6
00:00:20,430 --> 00:00:22,320
to this vast array.
7
00:00:22,410 --> 00:00:25,380
MITCH HOROWITZ:
Our ancient ancestors
came to feel
8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,970
that these constellations
were windows on earthly events.
9
00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:34,380
ANDREW COLLINS:
Is it possible that all of these
different constellations
10
00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:37,080
convey alien messages inbound
11
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:39,690
from somewhere else
in the galaxy?
12
00:00:39,870 --> 00:00:42,930
NARRATOR:
Was knowledge of
the constellations
13
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:47,250
given to ancient people
by extraterrestrial visitors?
14
00:00:47,430 --> 00:00:50,670
And do they contain a code
that, once deciphered,
15
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,450
could unlock the mysteries
of the entire universe?
16
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:58,500
DAVID CHILDRESS:
You have to wonder
if these star signs
17
00:00:58,590 --> 00:01:00,480
aren’t some code
that has been put there
18
00:01:00,570 --> 00:01:03,450
for us to make contact
with extraterrestrials.
19
00:01:06,330 --> 00:01:08,130
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
20
00:01:08,310 --> 00:01:11,190
in the universe.
21
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,160
Beyond it is the
promise of truth.
22
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,030
It demands we
question everything
23
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,190
we have ever been taught.
24
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:23,970
The evidence is all around us.
25
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:28,020
The future is right
before our eyes.
26
00:01:28,110 --> 00:01:30,900
We are not alone.
27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,960
We have never been alone.
28
00:01:43,050 --> 00:01:44,580
Somerset, England.
29
00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:48,630
1927.
30
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,960
49-year-old artist
Katharine Maltwood
31
00:01:52,050 --> 00:01:54,030
has been commissioned
to draw a map
32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,540
outlining the adventures
of the knights of King Arthur.
33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,500
Thanks to the recent
invention of the airplane,
34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,380
she is able to obtain the
earliest aerial photographs
35
00:02:04,470 --> 00:02:07,170
of the area.
36
00:02:07,260 --> 00:02:10,050
While studying them,
she suddenly notices
37
00:02:10,230 --> 00:02:13,380
a figure in the landscape.
38
00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:17,790
She noticed what appeared
to be a landscape lion.
39
00:02:17,970 --> 00:02:20,850
It just sort of reared up
at her, quite literally.
40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,520
And she examined this
and wondered whether
41
00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:31,290
this was the Leo
figure of the zodiac.
42
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:35,970
Then she saw, next to it,
this large, giant figure,
43
00:02:36,060 --> 00:02:40,560
which she felt was part
of some kind of collective
44
00:02:40,740 --> 00:02:43,080
of landscape effigies
45
00:02:43,170 --> 00:02:45,870
that had been laid down
by ancient hands.
46
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,550
And one by one, she found
that they actually represented
47
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:53,700
the 12 signs of the zodiac.
48
00:02:53,790 --> 00:02:56,040
HUGH NEWMAN:
Glastonbury Zodiac is so large
49
00:02:56,220 --> 00:02:58,650
that you can only really
see it from the sky.
50
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:02,970
The zodiac signs are marked
by rivers, streams,
51
00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:05,940
roads, field boundaries.
52
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,910
Pisces is actually two fishes,
53
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,600
and one of the fishes
is Wearyall Hill.
54
00:03:12,690 --> 00:03:14,580
The other side of the
road, we have Aries.
55
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,450
They were actually creating
certain parts of the zodiac
56
00:03:18,540 --> 00:03:21,780
as earth works,
as shapes, deliberately.
57
00:03:21,870 --> 00:03:25,290
NARRATOR: The shapes look
so much like man-made features
58
00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:27,900
that Maltwood published
a book about them
59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,410
and called it the
Temple of the Stars.
60
00:03:31,500 --> 00:03:34,560
While it was received
with much skepticism,
61
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:37,800
proponents say there is ample
evidence around the region
62
00:03:37,890 --> 00:03:40,230
to suggest these formations
have been created
63
00:03:40,410 --> 00:03:42,480
by artificial means
64
00:03:42,570 --> 00:03:45,180
and that almost every
field and hill in the area
65
00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:47,520
has been modified in some way.
66
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:51,300
One of the most important
ones is called Ponter’s Ball.
67
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:56,700
Now, this is a large, mile-long,
pointed earth work,
68
00:03:56,790 --> 00:04:01,110
which is exactly where the
Capricorn effigy’s horn is
69
00:04:01,290 --> 00:04:02,820
in the zodiac.
70
00:04:04,980 --> 00:04:07,410
NARRATOR:
Even more significant
is a massive hill
71
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:09,660
called Glastonbury Tor.
72
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,430
Many researchers are convinced
that this is a man-made feature.
73
00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:18,120
And based on its shape,
some have even suggested
74
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:20,910
it could be hiding
an ancient pyramid.
75
00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:25,230
Glastonbury Tor is
the most significant part
76
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,120
of the whole Somerset landscape.
77
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,350
On top of it, we have
St. Michael’s Tower,
78
00:04:31,530 --> 00:04:34,590
a 14th-century construction.
79
00:04:34,770 --> 00:04:39,360
But the main site itself has
terraces carved around it,
80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,520
like a labyrinth coming up
from ground level
81
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:43,410
all the way to the top.
82
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:51,240
If there really is a
labyrinthian design marked out
83
00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:53,220
on the slopes of
Glastonbury Tor,
84
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,820
it’s not just pre-Roman;
it must be pre-Celtic.
85
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,240
Uh, it must even date back
to the megalithic times.
86
00:05:00,420 --> 00:05:02,040
WILLIAM HENRY:
The question becomes, well,
87
00:05:02,130 --> 00:05:05,010
if you can’t see the zodiac
from ground level,
88
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:07,530
then how is it possible
that these ancient designers
89
00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:09,420
could see it from the air?
90
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,930
This suggests that Glastonbury
was designed with people
91
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:16,170
that had some kind of
transportation that took them
92
00:05:16,260 --> 00:05:18,510
into the air of Glastonbury,
93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,490
be it an extraterrestrial craft
94
00:05:20,670 --> 00:05:23,910
or maybe some other
type of a craft.
95
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,600
It’s only until we ourselves
have the ability of flight
96
00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:30,390
and could do aerial surveys,
97
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,710
and then we could see
this giant zodiac
98
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,770
on the landscape
around Glastonbury.
99
00:05:37,950 --> 00:05:42,900
So, in some ways, perhaps it was
left for us like an ancient code
100
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,880
to find in the future.
101
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:48,930
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
102
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:52,350
that to solve the mystery
of the Glastonbury Zodiac,
103
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,780
we must first solve
another mystery:
104
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,390
that of the zodiac itself.
105
00:05:58,650 --> 00:06:00,270
In ancient times,
106
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,970
the night sky was
a dazzling mystery.
107
00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:06,570
This vast array of stars.
108
00:06:06,660 --> 00:06:08,550
And gradually, there
was an understanding
109
00:06:08,730 --> 00:06:10,980
that certain things
could come from this.
110
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,220
You could read it as a calendar.
111
00:06:14,310 --> 00:06:16,650
You would know when
to plant your crops.
112
00:06:16,830 --> 00:06:19,530
You would know when
the floods might come.
113
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:23,940
NARRATOR:
Connected to the
tracking of the stars
114
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:26,190
was the practice of drawing
lines between them
115
00:06:26,370 --> 00:06:28,260
to create constellations,
116
00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:30,870
which exist in the
historical records
117
00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:34,740
of humanity’s earliest
civilizations.
118
00:06:34,830 --> 00:06:37,530
It also appears
that these civilizations
119
00:06:37,710 --> 00:06:39,690
had some form of
what is referred to
120
00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:41,940
as the "zodiac wheel."
121
00:06:42,030 --> 00:06:45,450
COLLINS:
The ancients decided
that they would
122
00:06:45,630 --> 00:06:48,510
create a division of the heavens
123
00:06:48,690 --> 00:06:52,020
based upon the
movement of the Sun
124
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,630
through one yearly cycle.
125
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,150
And as it does this,
it passes through
126
00:06:57,330 --> 00:07:00,030
12 different constellations.
127
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,910
And these become
the zodiacal signs
128
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,980
that we know today.
129
00:07:05,070 --> 00:07:08,130
These ideas go back
to Babylonian times
130
00:07:08,310 --> 00:07:11,730
and even the Sumerians,
as much as 5,000 years ago.
131
00:07:14,700 --> 00:07:17,310
NARRATOR:
In many ancient cultures,
it was thought
132
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,820
that the constellations affected
not only harvests and weather,
133
00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:23,160
but daily life as well.
134
00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:25,770
While this may seem like
a primitive notion,
135
00:07:25,860 --> 00:07:28,740
it is very much alive and well,
136
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,170
kept relevant by
billions of people
137
00:07:31,260 --> 00:07:34,140
who check their
horoscopes every day.
138
00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:37,650
In modern times, there’s this
distinction between astronomy,
139
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:39,900
which is the observation
of celestial movements,
140
00:07:39,990 --> 00:07:43,140
and astrology, which
is the interpretation
141
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,110
of those celestial bodies
and movements.
142
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,810
In ancient times, the
astronomers and astrologers
143
00:07:48,900 --> 00:07:51,870
tended to be one
and the same person.
144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,210
Astrology didn’t
originate in one place,
145
00:07:54,300 --> 00:07:56,100
but for some reason,
just about every culture
146
00:07:56,190 --> 00:07:58,350
seems to have made
this observation
147
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,510
that there’s a correlation
between celestial movements
148
00:08:00,690 --> 00:08:02,040
and earthly events,
149
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:04,920
which is the basic premise
of astrology.
150
00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:08,430
NARRATOR:
While astrology is dismissed
by modern science,
151
00:08:08,610 --> 00:08:11,670
it is estimated that
over 90% of the world’s
152
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,350
adult population today is aware
of their astrological sign.
153
00:08:16,530 --> 00:08:19,860
In the modern world,
many people regard this
154
00:08:19,950 --> 00:08:23,280
as nothing more than
a topic of conversation.
155
00:08:23,370 --> 00:08:26,700
But in the ancient world,
the zodiac wheel was seen
156
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,940
as a way to communicate
with the gods.
157
00:08:30,030 --> 00:08:32,370
The ancient Greeks
conceptualized astrology
158
00:08:32,460 --> 00:08:35,430
as the language of the gods,
or the heavenly script,
159
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,130
as if the movements of
the planets across the sky
160
00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:41,190
and through the signs of
the zodiac or the constellations
161
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,170
had some sort of
significant message
162
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:45,240
that was being
conveyed by the gods
163
00:08:45,330 --> 00:08:49,110
about life on Earth
and about individuals.
164
00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:52,620
NARRATOR:
The ancient people
associated the constellations
165
00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:56,760
with important historical
and mythological events,
166
00:08:56,850 --> 00:09:00,270
and even with the creation
of humanity itself.
167
00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:03,600
HENRY:
The ancients began assigning
animals as symbols
168
00:09:03,690 --> 00:09:06,840
for this journey
through the sky.
169
00:09:06,930 --> 00:09:09,720
In ancient Sumeria,
they identified Aquarius
170
00:09:09,810 --> 00:09:12,240
with a god being, Enki,
171
00:09:12,420 --> 00:09:15,660
who was the creator god
in the Sumerian tradition.
172
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,990
According to the Sumerians,
it was Enki who came to Earth
173
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,960
and created humanity
in its present form.
174
00:09:23,130 --> 00:09:24,750
Now, this is very interesting,
175
00:09:24,930 --> 00:09:26,820
because these types
of descriptions appear
176
00:09:26,910 --> 00:09:29,340
over and over again
where people connect
177
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,220
with these particular
star systems or constellations,
178
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:36,990
in various mythic
and historical traditions.
179
00:09:37,170 --> 00:09:39,150
That cannot be by coincidence.
180
00:09:41,490 --> 00:09:44,190
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that
extraterrestrial visitors
181
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,070
are responsible for so
many separate cultures
182
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,680
not only connecting
the same groups of stars
183
00:09:49,860 --> 00:09:51,570
in the exact same way,
184
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:53,550
but for revering
these constellations
185
00:09:53,730 --> 00:09:56,610
as sources of power and wisdom?
186
00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,680
Could these pictures in the sky
187
00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:00,750
have a far more
profound significance
188
00:10:00,930 --> 00:10:03,270
than we are aware of today?
189
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,410
And if so, might the Glastonbury
Zodiac provide the key
190
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:10,650
to recovering
this lost knowledge?
191
00:10:10,740 --> 00:10:13,710
Curiously, Glastonbury
has been a hotbed
192
00:10:13,890 --> 00:10:16,950
of UFO sightings for decades.
193
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,930
One of the most
famous encounters
194
00:10:19,020 --> 00:10:24,150
was reported by author Anthony
Roberts and his wife in 1969.
195
00:10:25,410 --> 00:10:27,210
And they were driving in a car,
196
00:10:27,390 --> 00:10:30,000
and they’d seen a huge sphere
197
00:10:30,090 --> 00:10:31,980
of white light in the
sky ahead of them,
198
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,580
and they followed it
and it changed size.
199
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:37,560
It then started to trace out
200
00:10:37,650 --> 00:10:41,790
an enormous geometrical star
pattern across the entire sky,
201
00:10:41,970 --> 00:10:45,120
and then massively
accelerate and disappear.
202
00:10:47,460 --> 00:10:49,800
NARRATOR:
Might there be a connection
between the star pattern
203
00:10:49,980 --> 00:10:52,860
that was allegedly
created by the UFO
204
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:57,000
and the zodiac wheel formed
in the Glastonbury landscape?
205
00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:00,510
But if this site really does
contain lost knowledge
206
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,020
regarding the zodiac,
what could it be?
207
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,170
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
208
00:11:07,260 --> 00:11:09,420
another towering megalithic site
209
00:11:09,510 --> 00:11:12,480
built in the shape
of a constellation.
210
00:11:18,510 --> 00:11:20,490
NARRATOR:
Alatri, Italy,
211
00:11:20,670 --> 00:11:23,280
June 2019.
212
00:11:26,430 --> 00:11:29,400
Ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos
213
00:11:29,490 --> 00:11:32,190
is in the heart of
the Italian peninsula,
214
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,160
about 50 miles
southeast of Rome.
215
00:11:35,250 --> 00:11:39,030
He is here to investigate
the astronomical alignment
216
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640
of the finest megalithic
construction in Italy,
217
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:43,980
the city’s acropolis.
218
00:11:44,070 --> 00:11:45,330
TSOUKALOS (chuckles):
All right.
219
00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:47,580
Giulio.
220
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:49,020
-Hello, Giorgio. How are you?
-Good to see you again.
221
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,370
-Yeah. Nice to see you again.
-How are you?
222
00:11:50,460 --> 00:11:51,900
-Fine.
-What a fantastic place.
223
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,130
-I cannot wait to see all of this.
-Yeah. Yeah.
224
00:11:56,310 --> 00:11:59,280
-Yeah.
-I’ve been waiting
for years to see this.
225
00:11:59,460 --> 00:12:01,350
Amazing.
226
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,960
NARRATOR:
For expert insight,
he has enlisted the help
227
00:12:04,050 --> 00:12:08,280
of Dr. Giulio Magli,
a professor of archeoastronomy
228
00:12:08,370 --> 00:12:11,790
from the Polytechnic University
in Milan, Italy.
229
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:17,460
Dr. Magli has spent years
studying this massive structure.
230
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:18,810
This is incredible.
231
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,930
Mm-hmm.
232
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:41,310
TSOUKALOS:
26 tons. I mean, this is
absolutely insane.
233
00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:53,280
Right.
234
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,490
So you’re suggesting
that they had to have had
235
00:12:59,580 --> 00:13:02,370
a compelling reason to do this,
236
00:13:02,460 --> 00:13:04,620
’cause nobody
in their right mind
237
00:13:04,710 --> 00:13:07,320
would do something like this
without a reason.
238
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:09,390
Yes.
239
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,360
NARRATOR:
The imposing megalithic citadel
240
00:13:12,450 --> 00:13:14,700
was built on top of a hill
241
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,570
and is defined
by six huge walls.
242
00:13:18,660 --> 00:13:21,810
The shape of the acropolis,
when viewed from the sky,
243
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:24,690
has led some to suggest
that it was built to create
244
00:13:24,780 --> 00:13:29,370
a lasting commemoration of the
site’s connection to the stars.
245
00:13:29,550 --> 00:13:31,800
Giorgio has brought
a drone with him
246
00:13:31,980 --> 00:13:35,220
to get an aerial view
of the ancient acropolis.
247
00:13:35,310 --> 00:13:37,830
-All right, let’s launch this rocket.
-Yes.
248
00:13:44,670 --> 00:13:46,650
TSOUKALOS:
All right, so what
do we see here?
249
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:57,000
-Okay.
-And...
250
00:14:04,380 --> 00:14:05,550
TSOUKALOS:
Right.
251
00:14:07,890 --> 00:14:11,850
So, are you saying that this
mount here was cut artificially?
252
00:14:13,020 --> 00:14:14,730
That is incredible.
253
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:16,980
TSOUKALOS:
Yeah.
254
00:14:18,510 --> 00:14:20,220
Mm-hmm.
255
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:37,860
TSOUKALOS:
So, we are looking
at the outline of Gemini here?
256
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,550
-Wow.
-May well be.
257
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,780
What’s really interesting here
is that the entire mountaintop
258
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,850
has been artificially shaped
259
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:51,720
so that it is in the shape
of the constellation of Gemini.
260
00:14:51,810 --> 00:14:56,400
And then you have to wonder,
why was it built in this shape?
261
00:14:56,580 --> 00:14:59,730
Because something of
significance happened here
262
00:14:59,820 --> 00:15:01,530
a long time ago.
263
00:15:03,060 --> 00:15:04,950
NARRATOR:
In Greek mythology,
264
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,100
the Gemini constellation
depicts twin brothers,
265
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,260
Castor and Pollux,
266
00:15:10,350 --> 00:15:13,140
the offspring of a
god and a human.
267
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,380
HENRY: In the story, we’re
told that Zeus shape-shifted
268
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:19,530
or disguised himself as a swan
269
00:15:19,710 --> 00:15:22,590
and impregnated this
human female, Leda,
270
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,370
leading to the birth
of Castor and Pollux.
271
00:15:26,550 --> 00:15:28,440
But in some versions
of the story,
272
00:15:28,530 --> 00:15:29,880
we learn that there
were actually
273
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:31,410
two eggs that were hatched.
274
00:15:31,500 --> 00:15:33,390
One had the twin sets of boys,
275
00:15:33,570 --> 00:15:35,730
and another had
twin sets of girls.
276
00:15:35,820 --> 00:15:37,350
Some of the twins were mortal.
277
00:15:37,530 --> 00:15:39,420
Others of the twins
were immortal.
278
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,660
NARRATOR:
While mainstream historians
279
00:15:42,750 --> 00:15:45,630
consider the story
purely mythological,
280
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,780
ancient astronaut theorists
point out that these gods
281
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,920
were considered very real
by the Greek people of the time,
282
00:15:53,010 --> 00:15:55,800
and they propose that
the story of the twins
283
00:15:55,890 --> 00:15:59,490
could be an account of
an extraterrestrial encounter.
284
00:15:59,580 --> 00:16:01,920
In one version of the story,
we’re told that
285
00:16:02,100 --> 00:16:04,080
the egg containing
Castor and Pollux
286
00:16:04,170 --> 00:16:07,410
came down out of the heavens.
287
00:16:07,590 --> 00:16:11,550
TSOUKALOS:
When the legends say that the
Gemini twins were born of an egg
288
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,980
that descended from the sky,
289
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,750
it actually says that they were
born of a so-called cosmic egg.
290
00:16:18,930 --> 00:16:20,550
And what are these cosmic eggs?
291
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,600
They’re always described
292
00:16:24,690 --> 00:16:29,100
as having either a silver
or a bronze-colored shell,
293
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,440
and sometimes
they’re also described
294
00:16:31,530 --> 00:16:35,310
as having a lot of
smoke, fire and noise.
295
00:16:35,490 --> 00:16:37,110
CHILDRESS:
And interestingly,
296
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,790
many UFOs are
sometimes seen as eggs.
297
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,470
So, is it possible that the egg
of Castor and Pollux
298
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,880
is some extraterrestrial vehicle
that looks like an egg
299
00:16:51,060 --> 00:16:55,920
and lands on Earth, and
then two twins step out?
300
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:57,630
It’s quite possible.
301
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,060
NARRATOR:
If the Alatri acropolis
302
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,570
was purposely built to resemble
the Gemini constellation,
303
00:17:03,660 --> 00:17:06,900
could it be commemorating
an alien visitation?
304
00:17:06,990 --> 00:17:09,060
And considering
the incredible size
305
00:17:09,150 --> 00:17:12,120
of the stones it was
built with, is it possible
306
00:17:12,210 --> 00:17:14,910
that the extraterrestrials
themselves had a hand
307
00:17:15,090 --> 00:17:17,430
in the wall’s construction?
308
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,120
Do we have any records,
written records at all,
309
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,730
-about this place from ancient times?
-We don’t.
310
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,830
Okay.
311
00:17:32,010 --> 00:17:33,810
What is your speculation
312
00:17:33,900 --> 00:17:36,780
how old this place
really could be?
313
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:37,860
Okay, uh...
314
00:17:56,940 --> 00:17:58,560
TSOUKALOS:
Because you can clearly see
315
00:17:58,650 --> 00:18:00,540
the different
construction styles.
316
00:18:00,630 --> 00:18:03,600
Giulio, thank you very much
for sharing this with me,
317
00:18:03,780 --> 00:18:07,200
and I can’t wait till we
see each other again.
318
00:18:07,290 --> 00:18:10,440
CHILDRESS:
Whoever built
the Alatri acropolis
319
00:18:10,620 --> 00:18:13,050
was trying to point
something out to us.
320
00:18:13,140 --> 00:18:16,200
Apparently, they were trying
to show us the zodiac
321
00:18:16,380 --> 00:18:18,900
and the constellation of Gemini.
322
00:18:18,990 --> 00:18:22,680
And why they were trying
to do that, we don’t know.
323
00:18:22,770 --> 00:18:27,090
NARRATOR:
The Alatri acropolis
is particularly baffling
324
00:18:27,270 --> 00:18:29,700
in that, much like
the Glastonbury Zodiac,
325
00:18:29,790 --> 00:18:33,030
its shape can only be
discerned from high above,
326
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:35,280
a perspective that
the ancient people
327
00:18:35,370 --> 00:18:37,800
presumably would not have had.
328
00:18:37,980 --> 00:18:41,040
But these are just two
of many sites found
329
00:18:41,130 --> 00:18:43,650
all over the world that
appear to have connections
330
00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:45,720
to the stars.
331
00:18:45,900 --> 00:18:49,590
HENRY:
The Mayan temples were
aligned with the Pleiades.
332
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,370
Angkor Wat is aligned with
the constellation of Draco.
333
00:18:53,550 --> 00:18:55,800
What’s interesting about
all of these places
334
00:18:55,980 --> 00:18:58,770
is that they’re considered
to be star mirrors,
335
00:18:58,860 --> 00:19:00,930
making them places
of connection,
336
00:19:01,020 --> 00:19:02,640
where people can go to connect
337
00:19:02,820 --> 00:19:05,430
with that particular star
system or constellation.
338
00:19:06,780 --> 00:19:08,130
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
339
00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:10,650
that the Alatri acropolis
and other sites
340
00:19:10,740 --> 00:19:13,170
aligned with constellations
around the world
341
00:19:13,350 --> 00:19:15,780
were built to honor
extraterrestrial beings
342
00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:18,120
who visited in the distant past?
343
00:19:18,300 --> 00:19:20,910
And if so, could
they have another,
344
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,890
even more profound purpose?
345
00:19:24,780 --> 00:19:27,390
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
346
00:19:27,570 --> 00:19:30,810
and suggest further clues
as to what that purpose is
347
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:34,500
can be found by examining
the signs of the zodiac
348
00:19:34,590 --> 00:19:36,930
and their connection
to the gods.
349
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:43,770
NARRATOR:
Berlin, Germany.
350
00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:48,900
January 2016.
351
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,850
Humboldt University professor
Mathieu Ossendrijver
352
00:19:54,030 --> 00:19:56,190
announces a
revolutionary discovery
353
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,900
in the field of astronomy.
354
00:19:59,340 --> 00:20:01,860
He translates a Babylonian text
355
00:20:01,950 --> 00:20:04,740
that shows the ancient people
calculated the orbit of Jupiter
356
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,160
more than 2,000 years ago,
357
00:20:08,250 --> 00:20:11,130
demonstrating an understanding
of mathematical concepts
358
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:13,200
that were not thought
to have been developed
359
00:20:13,380 --> 00:20:15,270
until the 17th century.
360
00:20:18,420 --> 00:20:21,030
The sky watchers of
Babylon also identified
361
00:20:21,210 --> 00:20:23,370
the constellations
of the zodiac.
362
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:26,070
And incredibly, a star chart
363
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,960
belonging to the
Sumerian civilization
364
00:20:28,140 --> 00:20:29,670
that preceded the Babylonians
365
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,370
has been dated to 3300 BC.
366
00:20:34,710 --> 00:20:36,780
But perhaps even
more significant
367
00:20:36,870 --> 00:20:38,850
than the discovery
that ancient people
368
00:20:39,030 --> 00:20:42,990
recognized the constellations
as early as 5,000 years ago
369
00:20:42,990 --> 00:20:44,790
is the fact that
they believed them
370
00:20:44,970 --> 00:20:47,220
to be intimately tied
to events on Earth,
371
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,010
imbued with the
power of the gods.
372
00:20:52,170 --> 00:20:53,880
Each sign has its own story.
373
00:20:53,970 --> 00:20:56,850
Each is tied to
specific mythology.
374
00:20:57,030 --> 00:20:59,280
Different mythologies in
different parts of the world,
375
00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:03,420
but the collection has sort
of become standardized,
376
00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:06,480
more or less based on the Greek,
with a few exceptions.
377
00:21:06,660 --> 00:21:09,450
So, the sign Aries
is represented
378
00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:12,330
by the god Aries,
the god of war.
379
00:21:12,420 --> 00:21:15,030
This is not only
the warrior energy,
380
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:18,540
but the ability to fight
through a difficult problem.
381
00:21:18,630 --> 00:21:21,510
Taurus is the god Aphrodite,
382
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:23,760
and this is important
divine energy,
383
00:21:23,850 --> 00:21:25,830
it is love, beauty, sex,
384
00:21:26,010 --> 00:21:28,260
a sense of confidence
in your appearance.
385
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,860
Cancer is associated with
the goddess Artemis,
386
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,010
the goddess of the hunt,
of the forest and the Moon,
387
00:21:35,100 --> 00:21:37,080
so the dark places
that are important
388
00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:38,970
but hard to navigate.
389
00:21:39,150 --> 00:21:42,570
So we have these 12
stories, these 12 signs,
390
00:21:42,750 --> 00:21:45,630
12 different divine energies.
391
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,780
The very first
personality typology
392
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,570
is born of our relationship
with the sky.
393
00:21:51,750 --> 00:21:53,100
It’s born of the stars.
394
00:21:53,190 --> 00:21:54,900
We’re looking out into
the celestial realm,
395
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,700
and we see ourselves.
396
00:21:56,790 --> 00:22:00,390
NARRATOR:
In many ways,
the zodiac truly is
397
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:02,640
the language of the heavens.
398
00:22:02,820 --> 00:22:06,240
The positions of the
constellations in the night sky
399
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,760
also indicate the positions
of the planets,
400
00:22:08,940 --> 00:22:11,100
as well as the
position of the Earth
401
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,440
in relation to the Sun.
402
00:22:13,530 --> 00:22:17,040
Incredibly, ancient people
had some understanding of this
403
00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:20,820
thousands of years before
the invention of the telescope.
404
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,980
And they closely watched
the movement
405
00:22:23,070 --> 00:22:25,860
of these celestial bodies
for divine messages.
406
00:22:25,950 --> 00:22:28,830
This shows up really
prominently in the Bible.
407
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,160
Uh, for example, in the story
of... or the Gospel of Matthew...
408
00:22:32,250 --> 00:22:37,200
there’s the story about the Magi
going to the birth of Jesus
409
00:22:37,290 --> 00:22:39,900
because they saw
the Star of Bethlehem.
410
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,960
But the point of that story
is not that the Magi
411
00:22:43,050 --> 00:22:45,570
saw the Star of Bethlehem
and thought it caused the birth
412
00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:47,550
of Jesus, but just that
there was some sort
413
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,070
of celestial omen or
message that indicated
414
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,320
that somebody important
had been born.
415
00:22:54,210 --> 00:22:56,820
And that’s part of the reason
why some of the planets
416
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,070
are named after specific gods.
417
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,310
Like Jupiter... in Greek...
is named Zeus,
418
00:23:02,490 --> 00:23:06,270
or Mercury was named Hermes,
and so on and so forth.
419
00:23:07,710 --> 00:23:09,240
They tended to think
that the planets
420
00:23:09,330 --> 00:23:10,860
and some of the celestial bodies
421
00:23:10,950 --> 00:23:13,740
were the celestial
representations of those gods
422
00:23:13,830 --> 00:23:17,430
and had some power to convey
messages from the cosmos,
423
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,490
as if the cosmos itself
was alive and sentient
424
00:23:20,670 --> 00:23:23,820
and capable of
speaking to humanity.
425
00:23:23,910 --> 00:23:28,410
And sometimes they’ll go so far
as to try to, um, mirror events
426
00:23:28,500 --> 00:23:30,660
that are happening
in the sky on Earth.
427
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,090
NARRATOR:
If ancient people believed
428
00:23:33,270 --> 00:23:36,870
that the stars relayed messages
from the gods to humans,
429
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,930
then did they build structures
aligned to the stars
430
00:23:40,110 --> 00:23:41,910
or in the shape
of constellations
431
00:23:42,090 --> 00:23:45,780
not simply to pay
tribute to these gods,
432
00:23:45,870 --> 00:23:48,210
but to leave messages
of their own?
433
00:23:50,730 --> 00:23:52,890
Perhaps further clues
can be found
434
00:23:52,980 --> 00:23:55,230
by examining a more
modern mystery.
435
00:23:56,940 --> 00:24:00,630
In 2018, astrophysicist
Travis Taylor
436
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,790
traveled to Oak Island,
437
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,680
off the coast of
Nova Scotia, Canada,
438
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:07,560
where, according to legend,
a treasure was buried
439
00:24:07,740 --> 00:24:10,260
more than 200 years ago.
440
00:24:10,350 --> 00:24:12,420
Travis met up with the island’s
current caretakers,
441
00:24:12,510 --> 00:24:14,760
Rick and Marty Lagina,
442
00:24:14,940 --> 00:24:18,000
to test his theory that
a band of warrior monks
443
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:21,420
called the Knights Templar
was behind the mystery,
444
00:24:21,510 --> 00:24:23,400
and that they recorded
the location of the treasure
445
00:24:23,580 --> 00:24:25,560
with a star map.
446
00:24:27,450 --> 00:24:29,700
MARTY LAGINA: So, you’ve done
some investigative work
447
00:24:29,790 --> 00:24:32,130
-and you have some stuff
to show us, I understand.
-TAYLOR: Right. Yeah, I do.
448
00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:34,020
I got to thinking,
is there something
449
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,090
that archeoastronomy might
have to do with the island?
450
00:24:37,980 --> 00:24:41,940
So I overlaid the constellation
of Taurus on the island.
451
00:24:44,730 --> 00:24:47,430
What we have
are all of the stars
452
00:24:47,610 --> 00:24:49,950
aligning onto the island.
453
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,290
This is a star map.
454
00:24:52,380 --> 00:24:54,720
Not only are the stars
used for navigation;
455
00:24:54,810 --> 00:24:57,150
you can look at the
constellations in the sky
456
00:24:57,330 --> 00:25:01,290
and also use those to map
out points on the ground,
457
00:25:01,290 --> 00:25:04,980
and that can also act
as like a treasure map.
458
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,940
There’s a huge
boulder over here.
459
00:25:09,030 --> 00:25:12,180
We walked across the island
to those GPS coordinates,
460
00:25:12,270 --> 00:25:13,890
and interestingly enough,
461
00:25:13,980 --> 00:25:16,680
six out of seven of
the points we went to...
462
00:25:16,770 --> 00:25:19,740
Is that not a giant
stone right there?
463
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,520
...there was a large boulder,
uh, that weighed several tons,
464
00:25:23,610 --> 00:25:26,760
that was right where
the star coincided
465
00:25:26,940 --> 00:25:28,740
with the map on the island.
466
00:25:28,830 --> 00:25:30,000
JACK BEGLEY:
This is one of your points,
467
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:32,070
and there was a
stone feature here.
468
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,240
-A very obvious one.
-That’s-that’s wild.
469
00:25:34,950 --> 00:25:36,030
TAYLOR:
The boulders,
470
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:37,740
they weren’t indigenously there.
471
00:25:37,830 --> 00:25:39,540
They were put there on purpose.
472
00:25:39,630 --> 00:25:41,700
So, the constellation was
drawn out on the island.
473
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:43,680
The question is, why?
474
00:25:43,770 --> 00:25:45,390
LAGINA:
Yeah, you can’t deny
that you’re hitting
475
00:25:45,570 --> 00:25:47,190
on all cylinders,
so that’s cool.
476
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,810
On to the next.
477
00:25:48,990 --> 00:25:50,970
Could those stones that we saw
478
00:25:51,060 --> 00:25:53,940
be markers that were put there
by some human beings
479
00:25:54,030 --> 00:25:56,730
a long, long time ago to
correspond with a star map?
480
00:25:56,910 --> 00:25:58,890
The answer is...
of course they could.
481
00:25:58,980 --> 00:26:01,950
NARRATOR:
While the Oak Island treasure
has yet to be found,
482
00:26:02,130 --> 00:26:04,920
many experts believe
that constellations
483
00:26:05,010 --> 00:26:07,980
can be used as a type of code.
484
00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:10,590
It’s possible that other
information could also be used,
485
00:26:10,770 --> 00:26:13,650
uh, by laying star
maps on the surface.
486
00:26:13,740 --> 00:26:17,520
They could be leaving a message,
like, whoever built this,
487
00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:19,860
that’s where they came from.
488
00:26:19,950 --> 00:26:22,920
It’s also possible that
this could be a message
489
00:26:23,010 --> 00:26:25,260
on how to build or do something.
490
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,500
NARRATOR:
Messages contained in star maps?
491
00:26:28,590 --> 00:26:31,110
Could this explain not
only the arrangement
492
00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:33,720
of the mysterious boulders
found on Oak Island,
493
00:26:33,810 --> 00:26:36,240
but also why ancient peoples
throughout the world
494
00:26:36,420 --> 00:26:39,390
built structures
to mirror the heavens?
495
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,980
But if so, what information
might be revealed at places
496
00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:47,670
like the Alatri acropolis
and the Glastonbury pyramid?
497
00:26:47,850 --> 00:26:49,830
Are they pointing to the origins
498
00:26:50,010 --> 00:26:53,790
of multiple extraterrestrial
factions that came to Earth?
499
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,300
Or something even more profound?
500
00:27:01,260 --> 00:27:03,690
NARRATOR:
St. Andrews, Scotland.
501
00:27:03,870 --> 00:27:07,560
July 2012.
502
00:27:07,650 --> 00:27:11,160
A team of scientists at
St. Andrews University
503
00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:13,680
announces an
incredible discovery,
504
00:27:13,770 --> 00:27:17,550
the remains of an ancient
civilization on the bottom
505
00:27:17,730 --> 00:27:21,510
of the North Sea, just
east of the British Isles.
506
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:26,370
Archeologists believe it fell
victim to rising sea levels
507
00:27:26,550 --> 00:27:31,410
at least 8,000 years ago,
and potentially even earlier.
508
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:35,190
The sunken civilization
is named Doggerland
509
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,430
after a nearby sandbank
called Dogger Bank,
510
00:27:38,610 --> 00:27:43,920
but there are some who call it
by another name: Atlantis.
511
00:27:44,010 --> 00:27:45,900
TSOUKALOS: The first reference
of Atlantis that we have
512
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,300
is in Plato’s dialogues
by Timaeus and Critias.
513
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,640
In the very end of that,
514
00:27:53,730 --> 00:27:57,060
it talks about this
mythical place called Atlantis
515
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,200
from where any and all
knowledge of the world came.
516
00:28:01,290 --> 00:28:04,530
And so, some people
have suggested
517
00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:09,660
that the first civilization on
Earth may have been Atlantean.
518
00:28:09,750 --> 00:28:11,640
Depending on
your source material,
519
00:28:11,820 --> 00:28:14,160
Atlantis will be depicted
in different ways,
520
00:28:14,340 --> 00:28:17,760
but from Plato forward,
it’s almost always depicted
521
00:28:17,850 --> 00:28:21,810
as a technologically
advanced civilization.
522
00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:26,850
A civilization that occupies
the pinnacle of development.
523
00:28:26,940 --> 00:28:31,260
Atlantis was allegedly
this land mass that existed
524
00:28:31,350 --> 00:28:34,320
beyond the Pillars of Hercules,
525
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:36,750
which is today’s
Strait of Gibraltar,
526
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,720
and to this day,
if Atlantis existed,
527
00:28:39,810 --> 00:28:42,690
we have no idea where
exactly Atlantis was.
528
00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:45,930
NARRATOR:
According to legend,
529
00:28:46,020 --> 00:28:49,350
Atlantis was destroyed
by a cataclysmic flood,
530
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,400
which some identify as the great
flood described in the Bible.
531
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,250
Is it possible that the newly
discovered Doggerland
532
00:28:59,340 --> 00:29:01,320
is actually Atlantis?
533
00:29:01,410 --> 00:29:04,560
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
534
00:29:04,650 --> 00:29:08,160
and suggest that not only
can evidence of the lost city
535
00:29:08,340 --> 00:29:12,750
be found underwater, but
even survives on dry land,
536
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,630
hiding in plain sight.
537
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,850
A number of modern scholars
in England, particularly,
538
00:29:21,030 --> 00:29:25,710
have believed that all of the
stone structures and mounds
539
00:29:25,890 --> 00:29:29,850
that are in England and Wales
and Scotland and Ireland
540
00:29:29,940 --> 00:29:33,270
are all remnants of Atlantis.
541
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,960
The famous researcher
John Michell in England
542
00:29:37,140 --> 00:29:40,470
wrote a book called
The View Over Atlantis.
543
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:43,170
And in that book,
he’s talking about
544
00:29:43,350 --> 00:29:46,770
the remnants of Atlantis
that is still above water
545
00:29:46,860 --> 00:29:50,010
while much of Atlantis
is underwater now.
546
00:29:50,100 --> 00:29:54,690
NARRATOR:
In 1960, British author
Brinsley Le Poer Trench
547
00:29:54,780 --> 00:29:57,930
published his seminal
book, The Sky People.
548
00:29:58,020 --> 00:30:03,420
In it, he claims the Glastonbury
Zodiac was built by Atlanteans.
549
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,380
Atlantis was basically
a culture that always,
550
00:30:07,470 --> 00:30:10,260
as far as Trench was concerned,
from the very beginning,
551
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,870
uh, had an E.T. impetus.
552
00:30:13,050 --> 00:30:17,460
And at its very end,
that impetus is there again
553
00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:20,430
when the Glastonbury
Zodiac is created
554
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:26,370
as an enduring memorial
and also as a future prophecy
555
00:30:26,460 --> 00:30:29,970
by Atlantean refugees,
if you like,
556
00:30:30,150 --> 00:30:32,040
with help from the sky people.
557
00:30:32,130 --> 00:30:34,560
HENRY:
In esoteric British lore,
558
00:30:34,740 --> 00:30:37,620
before the fall of Atlantis,
there were refugees, sages,
559
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,050
that came to the British Isles
560
00:30:40,140 --> 00:30:42,210
and created the
Glastonbury Zodiac
561
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:45,540
as a way to remember
the story of Atlantis.
562
00:30:47,430 --> 00:30:49,410
NARRATOR:
Could it be that an advanced
563
00:30:49,500 --> 00:30:51,660
ancient civilization
called Atlantis
564
00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:54,900
was not only real, but
was a place where humans
565
00:30:54,990 --> 00:30:57,690
coexisted with
extraterrestrials?
566
00:30:57,780 --> 00:31:01,020
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further clues
567
00:31:01,110 --> 00:31:04,170
can be found by examining
the Greek creation myth
568
00:31:04,350 --> 00:31:06,960
of the lost continent.
569
00:31:07,050 --> 00:31:08,760
CHILDRESS:
According to legend,
570
00:31:08,940 --> 00:31:12,990
Atlantis was founded
by the god Poseidon.
571
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:18,390
He fell in love with a
human woman named Cleito,
572
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,900
and that they had
five sets of twins.
573
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:27,300
And these twins went on to
be the founders of Atlantis.
574
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:31,800
So here we see, really, a story
of extraterrestrials, perhaps,
575
00:31:31,890 --> 00:31:35,490
coming to Earth
at a very early date.
576
00:31:35,670 --> 00:31:38,100
Before the last ice age.
577
00:31:40,170 --> 00:31:42,330
NARRATOR:
The mythology of the
ancient Celtic people
578
00:31:42,420 --> 00:31:45,480
also tells of a race of beings
who came from the sky
579
00:31:45,660 --> 00:31:49,710
in this part of the world:
the Tuath Dé Danann.
580
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,240
HENRY:
When we look at the story
581
00:31:51,330 --> 00:31:53,130
of the origins of the druids
582
00:31:53,310 --> 00:31:56,460
and how they are the offspring
of the Tuath Dé Danann,
583
00:31:56,550 --> 00:31:58,980
who came from the stars
and came...
584
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,220
rode upon clouds
and-and came to Britain,
585
00:32:02,310 --> 00:32:05,280
we wonder if these, in fact,
could be the same gods
586
00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:09,420
that founded the
civilization of Atlantis.
587
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:12,390
NARRATOR:
Could it be that the
Glastonbury Zodiac
588
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,460
was created by Atlanteans?
589
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,970
But if so, why?
590
00:32:18,060 --> 00:32:21,210
Was it meant to leave a physical
record of a civilization
591
00:32:21,390 --> 00:32:23,820
on the verge of annihilation?
592
00:32:23,910 --> 00:32:26,430
Or does it contain
critical information
593
00:32:26,610 --> 00:32:29,670
for the evolution of humankind?
594
00:32:36,150 --> 00:32:37,410
NARRATOR:
Glastonbury, England.
595
00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:39,930
1983.
596
00:32:42,450 --> 00:32:45,240
While researching
the Glastonbury Zodiac,
597
00:32:45,420 --> 00:32:48,570
author Andrew Collins hears
numerous accounts from people
598
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:50,460
claiming to have experienced
strange visions
599
00:32:50,550 --> 00:32:53,340
associated with the site.
600
00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:58,380
For Collins, this aspect of the
mystery resonates most deeply,
601
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,610
as he has experienced
such visions himself.
602
00:33:02,700 --> 00:33:05,580
One of the purposes
of the Glastonbury Zodiac
603
00:33:05,670 --> 00:33:07,920
would seem to draw
people towards it.
604
00:33:09,630 --> 00:33:12,060
During an earlier
part of my life,
605
00:33:12,150 --> 00:33:15,750
I was drawn into the
Glastonbury Zodiac quest.
606
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,620
I started to receive
dreams and visions,
607
00:33:19,710 --> 00:33:23,670
and I felt that I had to
embark upon this quest
608
00:33:23,850 --> 00:33:27,630
to navigate from
each different sign,
609
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,060
going from place to place.
610
00:33:31,950 --> 00:33:34,200
And the sense is,
at the end of it,
611
00:33:34,290 --> 00:33:35,910
is that you’re contributing
612
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,700
to some kind of
global consciousness.
613
00:33:38,790 --> 00:33:40,860
For, in my opinion,
614
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:44,730
some kind of intelligence
is responsible
615
00:33:44,820 --> 00:33:48,780
for drawing human experience,
human knowledge,
616
00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:51,660
and uploading this
into the system.
617
00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:55,710
NARRATOR:
Profound visions have been
reported at Glastonbury
618
00:33:55,890 --> 00:33:58,950
dating all the way back
to the modern-day rediscovery
619
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,090
of the enormous
landscape zodiac in 1927.
620
00:34:03,180 --> 00:34:06,240
When Katharine Maltwood
first noticed the constellations
621
00:34:06,420 --> 00:34:09,750
in the landscape, she said that
they jumped out at her
622
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,360
as if in a flash of inspiration.
623
00:34:12,540 --> 00:34:14,610
HENRY:
Maltwood’s sudden discovery
624
00:34:14,700 --> 00:34:17,130
of the Glastonbury Zodiac
is very interesting
625
00:34:17,220 --> 00:34:19,200
because it makes you wonder,
626
00:34:19,380 --> 00:34:21,630
was she herself in an
altered state of consciousness
627
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:23,880
when she had this
flash of inspiration?
628
00:34:24,060 --> 00:34:25,770
Did she receive
perhaps a message
629
00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:29,010
from an otherworldly,
even extraterrestrial being
630
00:34:29,190 --> 00:34:32,520
who told her what is actually
on the landscape at Glastonbury?
631
00:34:34,230 --> 00:34:36,210
NARRATOR:
In his book, The Sky People,
632
00:34:36,390 --> 00:34:39,720
Brinsley Le Poer Trench
pointed out a curious detail
633
00:34:39,810 --> 00:34:43,230
of the Glastonbury Zodiac
that he felt provided evidence
634
00:34:43,410 --> 00:34:45,930
of an extraterrestrial
connection.
635
00:34:46,020 --> 00:34:48,810
Trench had the idea that because
636
00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:51,420
there is just one
of the twins of Gemini
637
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:55,020
depicted in the
Glastonbury Zodiac,
638
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,070
the other twin
is in outer space.
639
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,930
It is a whole testimony
to this tearing asunder
640
00:35:04,020 --> 00:35:07,350
of our family by the
great tragic, uh, event
641
00:35:07,530 --> 00:35:09,330
of the fall of Atlantis.
642
00:35:09,510 --> 00:35:12,660
HENRY:
Maltwood believed that
the Glastonbury Zodiac
643
00:35:12,750 --> 00:35:14,460
is an earthly counterpart
644
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,330
to the stellar temple called
the Caer Sidi of the Celts
645
00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:20,670
and that, in fact,
it was a mirror
646
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,010
of the zodiac in the heavens,
647
00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:26,070
and that by going into
altered states of consciousness,
648
00:35:26,250 --> 00:35:29,940
ancient shamans were able to
travel into the stellar temple
649
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,190
from the earthly temple.
650
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,250
NARRATOR:
Do the Gemini twins
suggest a connection
651
00:35:35,340 --> 00:35:37,770
between Earth and the heavens?
652
00:35:37,950 --> 00:35:41,010
Could it be that the visions
reported at Glastonbury
653
00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:45,150
are messages from an
advanced extraterrestrial race?
654
00:35:45,330 --> 00:35:47,490
But if so, how?
655
00:35:47,580 --> 00:35:52,170
COLLINS:
Is it possible that all of
these astrological influences
656
00:35:52,260 --> 00:35:54,510
convey alien messages
657
00:35:54,690 --> 00:35:57,840
inbound from somewhere
else in the galaxy?
658
00:35:57,930 --> 00:36:00,540
Well, if the answer is yes,
659
00:36:00,630 --> 00:36:04,140
then the means
of this communication
660
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,380
is what we call
quantum entanglement.
661
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,890
NARRATOR:
The theory of quantum
entanglement states
662
00:36:10,980 --> 00:36:13,590
that if a particle is
split into two parts,
663
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,370
the parts will remain
connected to one another,
664
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:20,070
even when separated
over large distances.
665
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,580
TAYLOR: If two particles are
quantum-entangled, as we say,
666
00:36:23,670 --> 00:36:25,740
then as they travel off
to different places
667
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,530
in the universe, if you
do something to this one,
668
00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:30,870
it instantaneously
will affect this one.
669
00:36:31,050 --> 00:36:34,380
NARRATOR:
Scientists suspect
a potential application
670
00:36:34,470 --> 00:36:36,810
of quantum entanglement could be
671
00:36:36,990 --> 00:36:39,330
in faster-than-light
communication.
672
00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:41,490
HENRY:
Through the process
of quantum entanglement,
673
00:36:41,580 --> 00:36:45,810
an extraterrestrial being could
be millions of light-years away
674
00:36:45,990 --> 00:36:49,590
and still be able to communicate
with humans on Earth.
675
00:36:49,770 --> 00:36:52,200
NARRATOR:
Are there places on the planet
676
00:36:52,290 --> 00:36:55,800
where extraterrestrial
contact can take place?
677
00:36:55,890 --> 00:36:58,860
Is this why Katharine Maltwood
was able to recognize
678
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:00,480
the signs of the zodiac
679
00:37:00,570 --> 00:37:03,540
incorporated into the
landscape of Glastonbury?
680
00:37:03,720 --> 00:37:07,500
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
681
00:37:07,590 --> 00:37:10,020
and suggest the
message to humankind
682
00:37:10,110 --> 00:37:13,170
provides not only
information about Earth,
683
00:37:13,350 --> 00:37:16,770
but the key to
traveling to the stars.
684
00:37:21,630 --> 00:37:23,250
NARRATOR:
New York City.
685
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,820
Located in Midtown Manhattan
686
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:33,330
is the busiest train station
in the United States,
687
00:37:33,420 --> 00:37:36,030
Grand Central Terminal.
688
00:37:36,210 --> 00:37:37,830
Three-quarters
of a million people
689
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,080
come through here each day,
690
00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:43,590
and when they do, they pass
under an enormous star chart,
691
00:37:43,770 --> 00:37:47,010
one whose origins date back
some 5,000 years.
692
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:51,600
When commuters walk
into Grand Central, they see
693
00:37:51,780 --> 00:37:56,910
an epic, magnificent mural
of the zodiac wheel.
694
00:37:57,090 --> 00:38:01,410
It is one of the largest
zodiac murals
695
00:38:01,500 --> 00:38:03,480
in the modern world.
696
00:38:03,570 --> 00:38:07,800
NARRATOR:
Although most visitors
are not aware of the mural
697
00:38:07,980 --> 00:38:11,760
above their heads, if they were,
they might be astounded,
698
00:38:11,850 --> 00:38:14,010
because as far as
ancient astronaut theorists
699
00:38:14,190 --> 00:38:17,430
are concerned, it depicts
the evolution of the Earth
700
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,580
in extraterrestrial terms.
701
00:38:20,670 --> 00:38:23,190
The most interesting fact
702
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:24,990
about this portion
of the zodiac wheel
703
00:38:25,170 --> 00:38:26,970
is that it demonstrates
704
00:38:27,150 --> 00:38:29,850
what is called the
precession of the equinoxes.
705
00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:34,620
What we call the spring equinox
is the first day of spring.
706
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,500
Back when the
principles of astrology
707
00:38:37,590 --> 00:38:39,390
were first put together,
708
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,360
the first day of spring
was in Aries.
709
00:38:42,540 --> 00:38:45,510
During the age of Christ,
the first day of spring
710
00:38:45,690 --> 00:38:47,490
was in Pisces.
711
00:38:47,580 --> 00:38:49,470
The fish is associated
with Pisces.
712
00:38:49,650 --> 00:38:52,260
Christ was considered
the fisher of men.
713
00:38:52,350 --> 00:38:57,480
And nowadays, the
spring equinox occurs
714
00:38:57,660 --> 00:39:02,790
when the Sun rises in
the constellation of Aquarius.
715
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,750
That’s why we are said to be
in the Age of Aquarius,
716
00:39:06,930 --> 00:39:09,990
which is supposed to be an age
of spiritual understanding,
717
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,600
mystical awareness
and world peace.
718
00:39:14,850 --> 00:39:17,730
NARRATOR:
While there is no consensus
as to an exact date,
719
00:39:17,820 --> 00:39:20,340
many believe that the
Age of Aquarius was set
720
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,480
by ancient astrologers to
begin in February 1962
721
00:39:24,570 --> 00:39:27,540
and believed that it would
trigger the rapid development
722
00:39:27,720 --> 00:39:29,700
of new technology.
723
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,670
Ironically,
it began just seven years
724
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,190
before man landed on the Moon.
725
00:39:35,370 --> 00:39:38,430
NEIL ARMSTRONG:
That’s one small step for man,
726
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,030
one giant leap for mankind.
727
00:39:42,210 --> 00:39:46,170
I guarantee you that when our
ancestors spoke about these gods
728
00:39:46,260 --> 00:39:47,970
descending from the sky,
729
00:39:48,060 --> 00:39:50,940
they were not referring
to the constellations themselves
730
00:39:51,030 --> 00:39:53,640
descending from the sky,
but, in my opinion,
731
00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:58,410
people coming from those areas
up in the night sky.
732
00:40:00,750 --> 00:40:04,080
HENRY:
As we are entering into
the new Age of Aquarius,
733
00:40:04,260 --> 00:40:05,790
according to the Sumerians,
it was Enki,
734
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:08,130
is the original man of Aquarius,
735
00:40:08,310 --> 00:40:11,370
an otherworldly,
even extraterrestrial being.
736
00:40:11,460 --> 00:40:15,960
We are returning to a time
when Enki himself may return.
737
00:40:16,050 --> 00:40:18,750
That’s perfectly consistent
with this idea that the zodiac,
738
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,090
in fact, is a sort of a clock
739
00:40:21,180 --> 00:40:24,060
that tells not just about
the Sun’s journey,
740
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,670
but also about the journey
of extraterrestrials
741
00:40:26,850 --> 00:40:29,010
and their return to Earth.
742
00:40:29,100 --> 00:40:31,170
JASON MARTELL: We’re now in
the Age of Aquarius,
743
00:40:31,260 --> 00:40:33,330
and there is a quickening
effect taking place
744
00:40:33,510 --> 00:40:35,490
with our technological advances.
745
00:40:35,580 --> 00:40:38,010
It’s very possible that
we are now in the age
746
00:40:38,190 --> 00:40:39,900
when we are going to reconnect
747
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,600
with our ancient
alien ancestors.
748
00:40:42,690 --> 00:40:45,660
NARRATOR:
Could our ancestors have
been aware of the zodiac’s
749
00:40:45,750 --> 00:40:48,720
powerful message
thousands of years ago?
750
00:40:48,900 --> 00:40:53,040
And might the signs of
the zodiac provide the key
751
00:40:53,130 --> 00:40:58,260
to understanding both
humanity’s past and future?
752
00:40:58,350 --> 00:41:00,960
There’s a prophecy in
the Glastonbury Zodiac
753
00:41:01,050 --> 00:41:05,010
relating to the coming
Age of Aquarius.
754
00:41:05,190 --> 00:41:09,420
It’s going to be a time where
our minds begin to think
755
00:41:09,510 --> 00:41:11,850
radically differently in a way
756
00:41:12,030 --> 00:41:15,900
that can transform life
on this planet for the better.
757
00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:19,050
In many ways, we are
becoming more enlightened,
758
00:41:19,140 --> 00:41:21,750
we are becoming more
connected with the cosmos,
759
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:26,070
we understand more about
our roots and our origins.
760
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:31,200
NARRATOR:
Might the discoveries of
massive landscape zodiacs,
761
00:41:31,290 --> 00:41:34,710
legends of a lost
advanced civilization
762
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,130
and accounts of telepathic
alien transmissions
763
00:41:38,220 --> 00:41:42,000
be preparing humanity to
recognize a long-lost connection
764
00:41:42,090 --> 00:41:44,880
to otherworldly beings?
765
00:41:45,060 --> 00:41:48,750
Does the zodiac really contain a
message from extraterrestrials?
766
00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:54,600
And if so,
what is it trying to say?
767
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:58,200
Perhaps when we crack
this constellation code,
768
00:41:58,290 --> 00:42:00,630
we will achieve
our ultimate destiny
769
00:42:00,810 --> 00:42:04,050
and ascend to the stars.
