1
00:00:04,685 --> 00:00:07,158
NARRATOR: Certain
places around the globe
2
00:00:07,158 --> 00:00:11,892
have baffled scientists
and scholars for decades--
3
00:00:11,892 --> 00:00:15,646
locations with names
like the Zone of Silence,
4
00:00:15,646 --> 00:00:20,811
the Gate of the Gods,
and the Bermuda Triangle.
5
00:00:20,811 --> 00:00:22,623
Visitors to these
mysterious sites
6
00:00:22,623 --> 00:00:25,926
report a variety of
strange energies,
7
00:00:25,926 --> 00:00:32,143
unexplained disappearances,
and supernatural phenomena.
8
00:00:32,143 --> 00:00:35,206
Numerous legends
describe star beings,
9
00:00:35,206 --> 00:00:39,350
traveling in and out of these
places from other worlds.
10
00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:43,624
Might these myths be
describing real events?
11
00:00:43,624 --> 00:00:46,787
Have the strange energies
in these locations
12
00:00:46,787 --> 00:00:49,410
been attracting visitors
from other worlds
13
00:00:49,410 --> 00:00:51,492
for thousands of years?
14
00:00:51,492 --> 00:00:53,834
MALE SPEAKER: An alien,
coming here 10,000 years ago,
15
00:00:53,834 --> 00:00:58,739
could use the magnetic
spots on earth as signposts.
16
00:00:58,739 --> 00:01:01,232
MALE SPEAKER: You have to enter
through certain doorways--
17
00:01:01,232 --> 00:01:03,104
portals into our planet.
18
00:01:03,104 --> 00:01:05,055
NARRATOR: And is there
a pattern to where
19
00:01:05,055 --> 00:01:06,757
these spots are located?
20
00:01:06,757 --> 00:01:11,152
-Somebody told them, use the
word, "star" for your village,
21
00:01:11,152 --> 00:01:12,032
for eternity.
22
00:01:12,032 --> 00:01:14,435
Don't change it.
23
00:01:14,435 --> 00:01:16,787
NARRATOR: Millions of
people around the globe
24
00:01:16,787 --> 00:01:18,789
believe we have been
visited in the past
25
00:01:18,789 --> 00:01:21,632
by extraterrestrial beings.
26
00:01:21,632 --> 00:01:24,335
What if it were true?
27
00:01:24,335 --> 00:01:27,698
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our world?
28
00:01:27,698 --> 00:01:34,165
And, if so, did they concentrate
around specific locations?
29
00:01:34,165 --> 00:01:38,199
Could a better understanding
of ancient alien visitation
30
00:01:38,199 --> 00:01:41,702
unlock the secrets behind
some of the world's most
31
00:01:41,702 --> 00:01:43,434
mysterious places?
32
00:01:43,434 --> 00:01:45,636
[THEME MUSIC]
33
00:02:17,037 --> 00:02:20,010
NARRATOR: Perhaps the
most famous, or infamous,
34
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:24,775
of all the world's mysterious
places is the Bermuda Triangle.
35
00:02:24,775 --> 00:02:27,978
For decades, this stretch
of ocean-- covering over
36
00:02:27,978 --> 00:02:33,304
500,000 square miles, located
between Miami, Puerto Rico,
37
00:02:33,304 --> 00:02:36,827
and Bermuda-- has
baffled scientists,
38
00:02:36,827 --> 00:02:41,742
experienced sailors, and
even military investigators.
39
00:02:41,742 --> 00:02:44,425
PHILIP COPPENS:
Planes disappearing,
40
00:02:44,425 --> 00:02:46,457
various kinds of
strange lights being
41
00:02:46,457 --> 00:02:50,060
seen-- a whole bunch of
weirdness all conglomerated
42
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:53,073
into this very tight
corner of the Atlantic.
43
00:02:53,073 --> 00:02:55,586
MICHAEL BARA: Ships that
have shown up absolutely
44
00:02:55,586 --> 00:02:58,709
empty-- no sign of any
struggle, and yet the crew
45
00:02:58,709 --> 00:03:00,781
was just vanished.
46
00:03:00,781 --> 00:03:02,483
GIAN J. QUASAR: This is
something that's very real.
47
00:03:02,483 --> 00:03:03,624
It exists in records.
48
00:03:03,624 --> 00:03:07,848
And now that they're all
gone, in fair weather,
49
00:03:07,848 --> 00:03:11,101
that is not supernatural
phenomenon to me.
50
00:03:11,101 --> 00:03:14,385
That is something not explained.
51
00:03:14,385 --> 00:03:17,027
NARRATOR: What caused
ships and planes
52
00:03:17,027 --> 00:03:19,770
to disappear without a trace?
53
00:03:19,770 --> 00:03:22,683
Why has aeronautical and
navigational equipment
54
00:03:22,683 --> 00:03:27,938
stopped working, or
changed course, by itself?
55
00:03:27,938 --> 00:03:31,091
Historical shipping records
show that the mysteries
56
00:03:31,091 --> 00:03:36,497
of the Bermuda Triangle are much
older than many people realize.
57
00:03:36,497 --> 00:03:40,451
Ever since the earliest
days of oceanic exploration,
58
00:03:40,451 --> 00:03:42,903
sailors have witnessed
strange sights.
59
00:03:42,903 --> 00:03:44,104
JASON MARTELL:
Really, the awareness
60
00:03:44,104 --> 00:03:47,468
of the Bermuda Triangle started
with Christopher Columbus being
61
00:03:47,468 --> 00:03:51,171
such an esoteric navigator
and a well-respected sailor.
62
00:03:51,171 --> 00:03:55,235
His log traversing to the
new world is very accurate.
63
00:03:55,235 --> 00:03:57,388
And it turns out,
just as Columbus
64
00:03:57,388 --> 00:03:59,510
got into the area known
as the Bermuda Triangle,
65
00:03:59,510 --> 00:04:02,212
he recorded having
compass malfunctions.
66
00:04:02,212 --> 00:04:07,398
The following night, he saw a
large fireball hit the ocean.
67
00:04:07,398 --> 00:04:08,549
-He saw strange lights.
68
00:04:08,549 --> 00:04:11,372
He saw strange weather
phenomena happening there.
69
00:04:11,372 --> 00:04:13,864
So, it's definitely a case
that the story of the Bermuda
70
00:04:13,864 --> 00:04:16,807
Triangle is not just some
modern or some urban myth
71
00:04:16,807 --> 00:04:19,470
at the threshold of
the 21st century.
72
00:04:19,470 --> 00:04:22,032
It is as old as
there are accounts
73
00:04:22,032 --> 00:04:25,436
of people going into that area.
74
00:04:25,436 --> 00:04:32,162
NARRATOR: About 450 years after
Columbus, on December 15, 1945,
75
00:04:32,162 --> 00:04:35,175
US Military experienced
the Bermuda Triangle's
76
00:04:35,175 --> 00:04:37,508
most perplexing mystery.
77
00:04:37,508 --> 00:04:42,272
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
five US Navy torpedo bombers
78
00:04:42,272 --> 00:04:44,755
flew from the Naval
base in Fort Lauderdale,
79
00:04:44,755 --> 00:04:48,299
Florida on a routine
training exercise.
80
00:04:48,299 --> 00:04:51,542
But not long into
the two hour mission,
81
00:04:51,542 --> 00:04:54,084
all five planes
were suddenly gone.
82
00:04:56,897 --> 00:05:00,661
The mystery was compounded
when the Navy sent out a rescue
83
00:05:00,661 --> 00:05:02,923
plane, and it, too, disappeared.
84
00:05:05,906 --> 00:05:10,481
Six planes, all flown
by skilled pilots,
85
00:05:10,481 --> 00:05:13,994
had vanished into oblivion.
86
00:05:13,994 --> 00:05:16,457
GIAN J. QUASAR: That struck
everybody as very odd.
87
00:05:16,457 --> 00:05:17,748
This was now the modern era.
88
00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:19,460
We have radar.
89
00:05:19,460 --> 00:05:21,161
We have radio.
90
00:05:21,161 --> 00:05:25,045
Still, five aircraft vanished.
91
00:05:25,045 --> 00:05:27,067
PHILIP COPPENS: Now the question
is, where have all of them
92
00:05:27,067 --> 00:05:27,948
gone?
93
00:05:27,948 --> 00:05:32,112
It really is as if they have
been snapped out of our reality
94
00:05:32,112 --> 00:05:32,923
into something else.
95
00:05:32,923 --> 00:05:34,885
And, of course, what
that something else
96
00:05:34,885 --> 00:05:38,589
is-- that's the mystery
of the Bermuda Triangle.
97
00:05:38,589 --> 00:05:40,391
NARRATOR: Over the
years, few have
98
00:05:40,391 --> 00:05:43,644
lived to tell of any strange
anomalies that have occurred
99
00:05:43,644 --> 00:05:45,195
to them in the Bermuda Triangle.
100
00:05:48,989 --> 00:05:53,614
But American pilot Bruce
Gernon is an exception.
101
00:05:53,614 --> 00:05:58,869
In 1970, Gernon, his father,
and a business associate
102
00:05:58,869 --> 00:06:02,102
were flying from the
Bahamas to Florida,
103
00:06:02,102 --> 00:06:05,396
when Gernon reported seeing
a strange cloud directly
104
00:06:05,396 --> 00:06:08,038
out in front of their plane.
105
00:06:08,038 --> 00:06:10,991
Then, as he approached,
Gernon claims
106
00:06:10,991 --> 00:06:14,324
the cloud formed a
donut-shaped hole, or vortex.
107
00:06:14,324 --> 00:06:17,037
BRUCE GERNON: That tunnel
was huge, at first.
108
00:06:17,037 --> 00:06:20,871
But then, it started
getting smaller, rapidly.
109
00:06:20,871 --> 00:06:24,054
And when I penetrated
into the tunnel,
110
00:06:24,054 --> 00:06:26,697
an incredible thing happened.
111
00:06:26,697 --> 00:06:28,969
These lines instantly formed.
112
00:06:28,969 --> 00:06:31,181
It was like looking
down a rifle barrel,
113
00:06:31,181 --> 00:06:34,545
because the lines were swirling
slowly counter clockwise.
114
00:06:34,545 --> 00:06:36,867
I encountered some
intense electricity,
115
00:06:36,867 --> 00:06:40,240
that were like flashes
going on and off.
116
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,964
And all I could see was this
strange, grayish, yellowish
117
00:06:43,964 --> 00:06:44,525
fog.
118
00:06:44,525 --> 00:06:47,488
I call it, "electronic fog."
119
00:06:47,488 --> 00:06:50,741
I noticed that my instruments
were malfunctioning.
120
00:06:50,741 --> 00:06:52,903
And, at the same
time, I'm feeling
121
00:06:52,903 --> 00:06:54,304
this unbelievable sensation.
122
00:06:56,847 --> 00:06:59,910
NARRATOR: Gernon says when
he finally exited the tunnel,
123
00:06:59,910 --> 00:07:02,433
he radioed Miami
Air Traffic Control,
124
00:07:02,433 --> 00:07:05,005
but they couldn't find his
plane on their radar screen.
125
00:07:07,688 --> 00:07:10,821
BRUCE GERNON: And then,
about three minutes later,
126
00:07:10,821 --> 00:07:13,824
the radar controller
came back on the radio,
127
00:07:13,824 --> 00:07:15,345
and he's all excited.
128
00:07:15,345 --> 00:07:16,917
He had identified me over Miami.
129
00:07:16,917 --> 00:07:18,358
And I couldn't believe
it, because I'd
130
00:07:18,358 --> 00:07:20,340
only been flying for 33 minutes.
131
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:26,306
It should have been more
like an hour and 3 minutes.
132
00:07:26,306 --> 00:07:27,958
NARRATOR: Could such
a discrepancy in
133
00:07:27,958 --> 00:07:32,643
time and location really happen?
134
00:07:32,643 --> 00:07:36,827
And could extraterrestrials
be using this kind of gateway
135
00:07:36,827 --> 00:07:39,700
to travel to earth?
136
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,604
According to Albert Einstein's
General Theory of Relativity,
137
00:07:43,604 --> 00:07:46,637
it is possible.
138
00:07:46,637 --> 00:07:48,679
JASON MARTELL: Through
Einstein's principles
139
00:07:48,679 --> 00:07:52,072
of being able to bend space
using a gravitational pull,
140
00:07:52,072 --> 00:07:54,765
it's very possible that
extraterrestrial craft could
141
00:07:54,765 --> 00:07:57,057
somehow get a higher
charge of energy
142
00:07:57,057 --> 00:07:59,630
from these locations like
the Bermuda Triangle, which
143
00:07:59,630 --> 00:08:02,232
would allow them to do a
burst of energy-- if you will,
144
00:08:02,232 --> 00:08:05,546
a warp speed-- and harness
some type of extra particles
145
00:08:05,546 --> 00:08:07,307
or energies from
these locations,
146
00:08:07,307 --> 00:08:08,799
to get them where
they're trying to go.
147
00:08:08,799 --> 00:08:13,293
MICHAEL BARA: What
148
00:08:13,293 --> 00:08:16,346
that any time you have energy
generated at all-- especially
149
00:08:16,346 --> 00:08:19,299
from a higher plane, a
higher dimension-- it's
150
00:08:19,299 --> 00:08:21,572
going to come out
by spin, it's going
151
00:08:21,572 --> 00:08:23,183
to be rotation and
spin that allows
152
00:08:23,183 --> 00:08:24,825
that energy to get through.
153
00:08:24,825 --> 00:08:27,528
So, by definition,
such energy emissions
154
00:08:27,528 --> 00:08:29,930
are going to be vortexes.
155
00:08:29,930 --> 00:08:32,903
So, a vortex and a gateway
are the same thing.
156
00:08:35,876 --> 00:08:38,779
NARRATOR: Since wormholes
are theoretically
157
00:08:38,779 --> 00:08:42,332
located throughout the
universe, could these same types
158
00:08:42,332 --> 00:08:47,848
of gateways exist in
smaller areas on earth?
159
00:08:47,848 --> 00:08:51,722
If so, are strange
electromagnetic levels the key
160
00:08:51,722 --> 00:08:52,803
to discovering them?
161
00:08:55,626 --> 00:08:57,397
GIAN J. QUASAR: Completely
unconnected people report
162
00:08:57,397 --> 00:08:58,589
the same thing.
163
00:08:58,589 --> 00:09:00,040
And it always has
something to do
164
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,083
with electromagnetic
phenomenon, usually
165
00:09:03,083 --> 00:09:07,127
involving an unexplained
vapor or cloud.
166
00:09:07,127 --> 00:09:11,471
This phenomenon indicated
UFOs materializing
167
00:09:11,471 --> 00:09:15,165
or dematerializing
in our dimension.
168
00:09:15,165 --> 00:09:16,747
DAVID CHILDRESS:
It's quite possible
169
00:09:16,747 --> 00:09:19,169
that the Bermuda
Triangle is exactly
170
00:09:19,169 --> 00:09:21,942
one such inter-dimensional
doorway that's
171
00:09:21,942 --> 00:09:22,813
used by these aliens.
172
00:09:25,445 --> 00:09:28,288
NARRATOR: With reports
of UFOs appearing,
173
00:09:28,288 --> 00:09:31,251
and ships and
planes disappearing,
174
00:09:31,251 --> 00:09:33,553
some claim the
Bermuda Triangle is
175
00:09:33,553 --> 00:09:36,857
a portal that works
in both directions.
176
00:09:36,857 --> 00:09:40,460
So if, as ancient
astronaut theorists claim,
177
00:09:40,460 --> 00:09:43,023
otherworldly visitors have
been using them to come here
178
00:09:43,023 --> 00:09:46,376
since ancient times,
might we someday use
179
00:09:46,376 --> 00:09:49,399
this shortcut to visit them?
180
00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:53,003
And if there really is a
portal in the open waters
181
00:09:53,003 --> 00:09:57,337
of the Bermuda Triangle,
might there be others on land?
182
00:10:04,785 --> 00:10:10,801
400 miles south of El Paso,
Texas, in northern Mexico,
183
00:10:10,801 --> 00:10:15,866
stretches a remote and rugged
section of high desert.
184
00:10:15,866 --> 00:10:19,249
This area, near the
town of Ceballos,
185
00:10:19,249 --> 00:10:23,443
is referred to by the locals
as the Zona del Silencio,
186
00:10:23,443 --> 00:10:25,125
or, the Zone of Silence.
187
00:10:28,278 --> 00:10:31,872
It's an epicenter for some of
the strangest phenomenon ever
188
00:10:31,872 --> 00:10:32,673
experienced on earth.
189
00:10:32,673 --> 00:10:37,157
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
190
00:10:37,157 --> 00:10:39,349
If you go there with your cell
phone, the cell phone stops.
191
00:10:39,349 --> 00:10:41,271
If you go with a
radio, it stops.
192
00:10:41,271 --> 00:10:44,895
If you go there with a compass,
the needle just keep spinning.
193
00:10:44,895 --> 00:10:46,677
DAVID CHILDRESS: It's
completely bizarre.
194
00:10:46,677 --> 00:10:48,869
There's strange
rocks everywhere.
195
00:10:48,869 --> 00:10:52,322
You have strange,
mutated animals, uh,
196
00:10:52,322 --> 00:10:54,825
living in the
desert in this area.
197
00:10:54,825 --> 00:10:58,739
You feel a strange
tingling when you're there.
198
00:11:07,848 --> 00:11:09,810
NARRATOR: The Zone
of Silence was first
199
00:11:09,810 --> 00:11:13,153
identified in the 1930s
by Francisco Sarabia,
200
00:11:13,153 --> 00:11:18,098
a Mexican pilot who claimed
that his radio had mysteriously
201
00:11:18,098 --> 00:11:21,021
failed to function while
flying over the area.
202
00:11:23,673 --> 00:11:25,726
RUBEN URIARTE: We call it
Mexico's Bermuda Triangle.
203
00:11:25,726 --> 00:11:29,319
It's located practically
on the same parallel-- 28th
204
00:11:29,319 --> 00:11:31,311
and the 26th parallel.
205
00:11:31,311 --> 00:11:33,523
And, as a result
of that, it goes
206
00:11:33,523 --> 00:11:35,726
and it connects with
the Egyptian pyramids.
207
00:11:35,726 --> 00:11:37,728
So around that
whole sector, there
208
00:11:37,728 --> 00:11:40,811
seems to be some connection
between the anomalies that
209
00:11:40,811 --> 00:11:43,934
are occurring through these
different parts of the world.
210
00:11:43,934 --> 00:11:45,936
SARA SEAGER: As a scientist,
you're trained to be skeptical.
211
00:11:45,936 --> 00:11:47,087
Or maybe you were born that way.
212
00:11:47,087 --> 00:11:48,388
But we really don't
believe anything.
213
00:11:48,388 --> 00:11:49,740
You know, nothing
is actually proven
214
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:51,762
until you actually
have evidence.
215
00:11:51,762 --> 00:11:54,404
But, I can say that
earth's magnetic field does
216
00:11:54,404 --> 00:11:57,047
vary across the surface
by up to a few percent.
217
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,972
NARRATOR: One of the
strangest cases involving
218
00:12:01,972 --> 00:12:07,347
the Zone of Silence took
place on July 11, 1970,
219
00:12:07,347 --> 00:12:10,560
when the US Air Force
launched an Athena missile
220
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:13,643
[ROCKET LAUNCHING]
221
00:12:13,643 --> 00:12:17,547
NARRATOR: from it's military
facility in Green River, Utah.
222
00:12:17,547 --> 00:12:21,621
The missile was programmed
to land 700 miles away,
223
00:12:21,621 --> 00:12:25,215
at the White Sands Missile
Range in New Mexico.
224
00:12:25,215 --> 00:12:28,648
But for some unexplained
reason, the Athena missile
225
00:12:28,648 --> 00:12:32,262
flew hundreds of miles
past the White Sands Range,
226
00:12:32,262 --> 00:12:33,864
towards the Zone of Silence.
227
00:12:40,580 --> 00:12:44,164
MICHAEL BARA: Not only did it
go off course, it way overshot,
228
00:12:44,164 --> 00:12:46,726
as if it had been
picked up or yanked
229
00:12:46,726 --> 00:12:48,488
or dragged or pulled into it.
230
00:12:48,488 --> 00:12:50,971
There was a NASA spokesman
who even said, it was weird.
231
00:12:50,971 --> 00:12:54,234
It was like the thing just
got pulled into this area.
232
00:12:54,234 --> 00:12:57,707
And it ended up crashing there
and breaking up into bits.
233
00:12:57,707 --> 00:13:00,811
NARRATOR: But some claim
this missile is not
234
00:13:00,811 --> 00:13:03,633
the only thing that's
been mysteriously pulled
235
00:13:03,633 --> 00:13:05,866
into the Zone of Silence.
236
00:13:05,866 --> 00:13:09,479
Ancient alien theorists believed
an unusually large number
237
00:13:09,479 --> 00:13:11,281
of meteorites have crashed here.
238
00:13:13,924 --> 00:13:16,016
-The evidence seems
to be indicating
239
00:13:16,016 --> 00:13:21,271
that the Zone of Silence is
some powerful energy vortex
240
00:13:21,271 --> 00:13:26,036
area that's literally sucking
meteorites and other space
241
00:13:26,036 --> 00:13:29,779
debris right into this small
area of northern Mexico.
242
00:13:33,974 --> 00:13:36,096
LOGAN HAWKES: There's a high
level of magnetism in the area.
243
00:13:36,096 --> 00:13:37,517
That's been proven by science.
244
00:13:37,517 --> 00:13:40,851
We know there's a magnetic
signature to the entire area.
245
00:13:40,851 --> 00:13:45,635
Is it strong enough to attract
a large objects like meteorites?
246
00:13:45,635 --> 00:13:48,488
I think we need more research,
but I--I don't think that
247
00:13:48,488 --> 00:13:51,892
research is being
done right now.
248
00:13:51,892 --> 00:13:55,745
NARRATOR: Starting
3,000 years ago,
249
00:13:55,745 --> 00:13:59,960
the Anasazi culture inhabited
the region to the north,
250
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:04,034
in today's American Southwest.
251
00:14:04,034 --> 00:14:08,698
Anasazi means, "Ancient Ones,"
and they paid great attention
252
00:14:08,698 --> 00:14:09,239
to the stars.
253
00:14:12,002 --> 00:14:15,946
Scientists have determined
that in 1054 A.D.,
254
00:14:15,946 --> 00:14:21,091
a supernova explosion
was visible from earth.
255
00:14:21,091 --> 00:14:24,064
Many believe the first
known drawing of this event
256
00:14:24,064 --> 00:14:26,446
was found inside an
Anasazi cave dwelling.
257
00:14:29,629 --> 00:14:33,753
South of the Zone of
Silence, other cultures,
258
00:14:33,753 --> 00:14:37,017
including the Maya, also
reportedly possessed
259
00:14:37,017 --> 00:14:39,069
a surprisingly
detailed knowledge
260
00:14:39,069 --> 00:14:43,223
of similar celestial events.
261
00:14:43,223 --> 00:14:46,146
Is it possible that
both of these cultures
262
00:14:46,146 --> 00:14:49,249
were somehow
exchanging information?
263
00:14:49,249 --> 00:14:51,781
LOGAN HAWKES: They're separated
by thousands of miles,
264
00:14:51,781 --> 00:14:55,305
but both the Anasazi of the
north and the Mesoamericans
265
00:14:55,305 --> 00:14:57,908
of the south found
the Zone of Silence,
266
00:14:57,908 --> 00:15:00,230
and used it as a meeting place
between their two cultures.
267
00:15:02,772 --> 00:15:05,285
You could imagine-- if you
studied the stars at night
268
00:15:05,285 --> 00:15:07,007
and plotted the
constellations, obviously
269
00:15:07,007 --> 00:15:08,678
one of things
you're going to see
270
00:15:08,678 --> 00:15:11,001
are these meteorites
streaking across the sky.
271
00:15:11,001 --> 00:15:13,173
If your answers
come from the sky,
272
00:15:13,173 --> 00:15:15,745
you probably would follow
those streaking meteorites
273
00:15:15,745 --> 00:15:18,378
and find out where
they ended up.
274
00:15:18,378 --> 00:15:20,660
And the theory is
that they may have
275
00:15:20,660 --> 00:15:25,175
found what they were looking
for the Zone of Silence.
276
00:15:25,175 --> 00:15:26,856
NARRATOR: But what
other connections
277
00:15:26,856 --> 00:15:30,670
exist between these cultures?
278
00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:34,904
And are they of
celestial origin?
279
00:15:34,904 --> 00:15:36,736
LOGAN HAWKES: If we look
back into the ancient beliefs
280
00:15:36,736 --> 00:15:40,600
of the Anasazi and the
Mesoamericans to the south,
281
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,813
we know that there was great
belief in sky people-- visitors
282
00:15:43,813 --> 00:15:47,097
from the sky.
283
00:15:47,097 --> 00:15:51,041
If these visitors came from
the sky, who were they?
284
00:15:51,041 --> 00:15:52,342
JASON MARTELL: And
there's a similarity
285
00:15:52,342 --> 00:15:57,157
to the beings being reported as
tall, pale skin, white hair--
286
00:15:57,157 --> 00:16:00,830
which is not indigenous to the
dark skin, dark haired people
287
00:16:00,830 --> 00:16:04,784
found in that region, but
does match many of the South
288
00:16:04,784 --> 00:16:08,928
American descriptions
of their gods.
289
00:16:08,928 --> 00:16:12,182
NARRATOR: According to legend,
these so-called visitors
290
00:16:12,182 --> 00:16:15,885
from the sky made themselves
known to an ancient people.
291
00:16:18,618 --> 00:16:20,950
Is it possible
that they are still
292
00:16:20,950 --> 00:16:23,293
making themselves known today?
293
00:16:23,293 --> 00:16:25,725
-There are a number
of reports of UFOs,
294
00:16:25,725 --> 00:16:27,037
uh, in the Zone of Silence.
295
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,602
-Probably the most
prominent and most popular
296
00:16:32,602 --> 00:16:35,745
report came out of
the town of Caballos.
297
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:37,047
It was on a late
summer afternoon
298
00:16:37,047 --> 00:16:40,180
when a number of townspeople
saw an object hovering
299
00:16:40,180 --> 00:16:42,412
in the sky on the
outskirts of town.
300
00:16:42,412 --> 00:16:44,734
They described as being
about 100 meters wide.
301
00:16:44,734 --> 00:16:46,306
It had multicolored
lights flashing.
302
00:16:46,306 --> 00:16:47,807
It wasn't doing anything.
303
00:16:47,807 --> 00:16:49,809
It was just hovering
in the desert.
304
00:16:49,809 --> 00:16:52,462
After a while, it
simply took off
305
00:16:52,462 --> 00:16:56,696
and headed out into
the Zone of Silence.
306
00:16:56,696 --> 00:16:58,768
RUBEN URIARTE: I think,
too, that, as what's
307
00:16:58,768 --> 00:17:03,193
going on today-- the high
activity UFO sightings,
308
00:17:03,193 --> 00:17:06,486
the anomalous reports that are
still going on today-- perhaps
309
00:17:06,486 --> 00:17:07,877
there is a connection.
310
00:17:07,877 --> 00:17:09,179
Maybe it's a vortex.
311
00:17:09,179 --> 00:17:11,631
Maybe it's a dimensional port.
312
00:17:11,631 --> 00:17:12,902
We can't explain it.
313
00:17:12,902 --> 00:17:16,906
But something unusual is
going on in that area.
314
00:17:16,906 --> 00:17:18,488
NARRATOR: Might
extraterrestrials
315
00:17:18,488 --> 00:17:22,031
be able to detect these
magnetic differences?
316
00:17:22,031 --> 00:17:26,376
And would they have been of
any used to ancient visitors?
317
00:17:26,376 --> 00:17:28,168
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: If
I was an alien coming here
318
00:17:28,168 --> 00:17:30,710
10,000 years ago,
obviously there
319
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:33,133
weren't any road
maps at the time.
320
00:17:33,133 --> 00:17:37,357
However, I could use the
anomalous magnetic spots
321
00:17:37,357 --> 00:17:40,820
on planet Earth as
signposts of sorts.
322
00:17:40,820 --> 00:17:45,125
And so that, when I come
back, those signposts
323
00:17:45,125 --> 00:17:51,010
would be my guides to find my
way around planet Earth There
324
00:17:51,010 --> 00:17:54,474
are spots, on planet Earth,
that are highly magnetic.
325
00:17:57,707 --> 00:18:04,834
NARRATOR: But are the magnetic
levels, the sky god legends,
326
00:18:04,834 --> 00:18:08,338
and recent sightings
of UFOs proof
327
00:18:08,338 --> 00:18:12,021
that a portal exists here?
328
00:18:12,021 --> 00:18:14,654
And are there other
places that might
329
00:18:14,654 --> 00:18:17,096
offer more direct
physical evidence?
330
00:18:32,122 --> 00:18:34,944
800 miles southeast
of Lima, Peru,
331
00:18:34,944 --> 00:18:37,737
near the shores
of Lake Titicaca,
332
00:18:37,737 --> 00:18:44,103
is a site that has mystified
visitors from around the world.
333
00:18:44,103 --> 00:18:46,816
[SOUND OF PRAYER BOWLS]
[PRAYING]
334
00:18:46,816 --> 00:18:49,399
Shamans still come
to perform rituals,
335
00:18:49,399 --> 00:18:53,713
and offer prayers at the rock
wall on this high plateau
336
00:18:53,713 --> 00:18:54,644
[PRAYER]
337
00:18:54,644 --> 00:18:58,368
NARRATOR: as they have done for
generation after generation.
338
00:19:02,172 --> 00:19:09,078
It is known at Puerta de Hayu
Marca, or, Gate of the Gods.
339
00:19:09,078 --> 00:19:11,521
DAVID CHILDRESS: And when you
see it, it's quite baffling.
340
00:19:11,521 --> 00:19:18,608
Here is this giant doorway,
carved into solid rock,
341
00:19:18,608 --> 00:19:26,826
and it appears to be a gateway,
but it doesn't go anywhere.
342
00:19:26,826 --> 00:19:28,027
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
It's literally
343
00:19:28,027 --> 00:19:31,181
in the middle of
nowhere at 14,000 feet.
344
00:19:31,181 --> 00:19:35,535
Yet, that rock, as
clear as you can see,
345
00:19:35,535 --> 00:19:41,861
has a gigantic rectangle carved
out of it, cut out of it.
346
00:19:41,861 --> 00:19:44,984
And in the center of that
rectangle, at the bottom,
347
00:19:44,984 --> 00:19:46,906
there is something
that looks like a door.
348
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:51,831
MICHAEL BARA: The Peruvian
natives actually referred
349
00:19:51,831 --> 00:19:54,063
to this as the Gate of the Gods.
350
00:19:54,063 --> 00:19:58,027
But why would you make
a doorway to, basically,
351
00:19:58,027 --> 00:20:00,059
rocks that didn't
let you go anywhere.
352
00:20:00,059 --> 00:20:02,832
There has to be some way to
get through that door way.
353
00:20:05,795 --> 00:20:08,738
NARRATOR: According
to Inca legend,
354
00:20:08,738 --> 00:20:11,821
the first priest
king, Amaru Muru,
355
00:20:11,821 --> 00:20:15,034
is said to have traveled
through this portal using
356
00:20:15,034 --> 00:20:18,428
a special object to
activate the doorway,
357
00:20:18,428 --> 00:20:23,973
turning this solid rock into
what's known as a stargate.
358
00:20:23,973 --> 00:20:25,995
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
According to legend,
359
00:20:25,995 --> 00:20:33,853
this stargate was activated
by the help of a golden disk.
360
00:20:33,853 --> 00:20:38,167
And this golden disk
fell from the sky.
361
00:20:38,167 --> 00:20:40,320
MICHAEL BARA: Well, the story
goes that the first priest
362
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,712
king of the Incas is
took a golden disc up
363
00:20:42,712 --> 00:20:48,017
to this Gate of the Gods, stuck
it in a special recessed area.
364
00:20:48,017 --> 00:20:52,292
And this inner dimensional
doorway actually opened up.
365
00:20:52,292 --> 00:20:56,105
And he passed through
it, never be seen again.
366
00:20:56,105 --> 00:20:58,448
The shaman that were
there, that watched it,
367
00:20:58,448 --> 00:21:00,970
that witness the whole
thing and reported on it
368
00:21:00,970 --> 00:21:06,055
basically told that that
was exactly what happened.
369
00:21:06,055 --> 00:21:08,117
NARRATOR: Archaeologists
who have examined
370
00:21:08,117 --> 00:21:10,740
the Gate of the
Gods have discovered
371
00:21:10,740 --> 00:21:13,943
a small circular depression
in the center of the doorway.
372
00:21:16,536 --> 00:21:20,800
Some people have speculated
that this depression was perhaps
373
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,504
where the golden
disk was placed.
374
00:21:24,504 --> 00:21:27,146
PHILIP COPPENS: It really
is out of the movies.
375
00:21:27,146 --> 00:21:28,748
This device is said
to have been made
376
00:21:28,748 --> 00:21:31,921
of gold and of various
other precious objects,
377
00:21:31,921 --> 00:21:34,754
And whoever had it could
come near the site,
378
00:21:34,754 --> 00:21:36,946
and somehow be
able to operate it.
379
00:21:36,946 --> 00:21:39,499
And then, there would either
be contact with the gods,
380
00:21:39,499 --> 00:21:41,421
or the gods would come to them.
381
00:21:41,421 --> 00:21:44,864
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
382
00:21:44,864 --> 00:21:46,716
led to believe, oh,
it's all coincidence.
383
00:21:46,716 --> 00:21:48,207
It's all just fantasy.
384
00:21:48,207 --> 00:21:49,409
Rubbish.
385
00:21:49,409 --> 00:21:51,130
Something happened.
386
00:21:51,130 --> 00:21:54,394
And in the case of
the stargate, it
387
00:21:54,394 --> 00:21:57,827
is possible that
this sun disk had
388
00:21:57,827 --> 00:22:01,461
some type of an
extraterrestrial connection,
389
00:22:01,461 --> 00:22:05,685
and that this was a
technological device
390
00:22:05,685 --> 00:22:08,608
with which to travel.
391
00:22:12,782 --> 00:22:16,856
DAVID SEREDA: And that may
mean physically taking a person
392
00:22:16,856 --> 00:22:19,499
and taking them into
another hidden dimension,
393
00:22:19,499 --> 00:22:20,420
and taking them back.
394
00:22:22,932 --> 00:22:25,425
Or, it may mean
traveling between earth,
395
00:22:25,425 --> 00:22:27,066
going through that
stargate, and going
396
00:22:27,066 --> 00:22:30,019
to another place
somewhere in the universe.
397
00:22:30,019 --> 00:22:32,281
NARRATOR: According
to the local legend,
398
00:22:32,281 --> 00:22:35,575
these priests kings,
known space brothers,
399
00:22:35,575 --> 00:22:39,639
reportedly came
from other worlds.
400
00:22:39,639 --> 00:22:43,753
Might they have traveled here
through the Gate of the Gods?
401
00:22:43,753 --> 00:22:44,954
JORGE LUIS DELGADO
MAMANI: They came
402
00:22:44,954 --> 00:22:51,280
from the other constellations,
from other planets.
403
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,654
In our language, we
have a word called, uh,
404
00:22:54,654 --> 00:22:57,917
[NON-ENGLISH SPEECH], which
is some of the constellations,
405
00:22:57,917 --> 00:23:02,131
like the Southern Cross,
Orion's Belt, Pleiades.
406
00:23:02,131 --> 00:23:06,155
One of the elders said,
this is the bridge to home.
407
00:23:06,155 --> 00:23:11,431
So, in essence, all
these manifestations
408
00:23:11,431 --> 00:23:14,373
have to do with
the space brothers.
409
00:23:17,266 --> 00:23:21,000
NARRATOR: But could a device
to activate this door actually
410
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,024
exist?
411
00:23:25,024 --> 00:23:31,050
And, if so, where
would the doorway lead?
412
00:23:31,050 --> 00:23:35,795
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, the Gate of the Gods
413
00:23:35,795 --> 00:23:40,930
is one end of a wormhole,
a type of portal
414
00:23:40,930 --> 00:23:44,754
that connects either to
another part of the universe,
415
00:23:44,754 --> 00:23:46,926
or another dimension.
416
00:23:46,926 --> 00:23:49,769
THOMAS VALONE: A wormhole
is a theoretical construct
417
00:23:49,769 --> 00:23:51,340
through general relativity.
418
00:23:51,340 --> 00:23:53,903
The concept is
really that there's
419
00:23:53,903 --> 00:23:56,886
a possibility of spacetime
being connected--
420
00:23:56,886 --> 00:23:58,968
various parts of
spacetime being connected
421
00:23:58,968 --> 00:24:00,660
through a small channel.
422
00:24:00,660 --> 00:24:04,143
And if such a
construct was made,
423
00:24:04,143 --> 00:24:06,576
then you'd have a
shortcut between very
424
00:24:06,576 --> 00:24:08,307
distant parts of the universe.
425
00:24:11,711 --> 00:24:13,533
NARRATOR: Wormholes
are an accepted
426
00:24:13,533 --> 00:24:15,424
element of theoretical physics.
427
00:24:19,609 --> 00:24:22,872
But have they actually
existed in some
428
00:24:22,872 --> 00:24:25,004
of the world's most
mysterious places?
429
00:24:28,017 --> 00:24:29,529
-The idea that
there are stargates,
430
00:24:29,529 --> 00:24:31,941
or that they could have
existed in ancient times--
431
00:24:31,941 --> 00:24:36,956
we do see many artifacts and
representations of someone
432
00:24:36,956 --> 00:24:38,618
passing through a
doorway or going
433
00:24:38,618 --> 00:24:40,860
through some type
of energy source.
434
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:44,233
And ancient man did not
understand technology
435
00:24:44,233 --> 00:24:45,925
just as we're trying
to understand,
436
00:24:45,925 --> 00:24:47,086
is a wormhole possible?
437
00:24:50,019 --> 00:24:55,344
-That it's some kind of
doorway between our dimension
438
00:24:55,344 --> 00:24:57,336
and another.
439
00:24:57,336 --> 00:25:01,971
And what I maintain is
that these aliens who
440
00:25:01,971 --> 00:25:05,965
are coming here are coming
here in inter-dimensional type
441
00:25:05,965 --> 00:25:08,477
of craft.
442
00:25:08,477 --> 00:25:12,311
They're able to jump through
hyperspace, come here
443
00:25:12,311 --> 00:25:15,304
to our planet in no
time at all, but they
444
00:25:15,304 --> 00:25:18,327
have to enter through
certain doorways and portals
445
00:25:18,327 --> 00:25:19,939
into our plant.
446
00:25:19,939 --> 00:25:21,170
SARA SEAGER: Dimensions
aren't really
447
00:25:21,170 --> 00:25:22,652
considered something
to travel along.
448
00:25:22,652 --> 00:25:24,293
But, dimensions are directions.
449
00:25:24,293 --> 00:25:27,136
And if you could somehow travel
along these other dimensions,
450
00:25:27,136 --> 00:25:29,478
it would take you
somewhere else entirely.
451
00:25:35,004 --> 00:25:36,956
NARRATOR: What if
one end of a portal
452
00:25:36,956 --> 00:25:40,920
exists here at
Puerta de Hayu Marca?
453
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,342
Might that be part
of the reason many
454
00:25:43,342 --> 00:25:45,815
consider Peru to
be a focal point
455
00:25:45,815 --> 00:25:49,719
of UFO and
extraterrestrial activity?
456
00:25:49,719 --> 00:25:51,180
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Lake Titicaca has
457
00:25:51,180 --> 00:25:55,224
all kinds of strange
lights associated with it,
458
00:25:55,224 --> 00:25:57,106
and a number of
witnesses claim they
459
00:25:57,106 --> 00:26:00,720
see UFOs coming out of the lake.
460
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:01,921
JASON MARTELL: And
the locals always
461
00:26:01,921 --> 00:26:06,606
describe seeing large blue
balls of light or glowing disks,
462
00:26:06,606 --> 00:26:10,109
and sometimes even beings
reported around the sightings.
463
00:26:10,109 --> 00:26:13,402
These beings are always
reported as tall, pale skin,
464
00:26:13,402 --> 00:26:17,206
completely non-indigenous
to the people that are dark
465
00:26:17,206 --> 00:26:19,799
skin, dark haired in these
South American regions.
466
00:26:22,431 --> 00:26:24,814
NARRATOR: Another theory
to how extraterrestrials
467
00:26:24,814 --> 00:26:27,536
may have traveled
across the universe
468
00:26:27,536 --> 00:26:31,671
involves the scientific
concept of teleportation.
469
00:26:31,671 --> 00:26:34,453
But is it really possible
to have something
470
00:26:34,453 --> 00:26:41,360
disappear from one spot and
suddenly appear somewhere else?
471
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:43,082
DAVID SEREDA: At the
Max Planck Institute,
472
00:26:43,082 --> 00:26:46,385
scientists have
already dematerialized
473
00:26:46,385 --> 00:26:50,559
subatomic particles, and made
them reappear somewhere else.
474
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:53,022
So science is just
on the precipice
475
00:26:53,022 --> 00:26:55,675
of being able to do
this-- to move it
476
00:26:55,675 --> 00:26:57,506
from one place to another.
477
00:26:57,506 --> 00:27:01,250
So I believe that that is a, is
a secret that the ancient stone
478
00:27:01,250 --> 00:27:03,082
builders knew.
479
00:27:03,082 --> 00:27:05,815
MICHAEL BARA: Even though the
gate might be closed right now,
480
00:27:05,815 --> 00:27:08,267
the reality is, you can still
access the energy, because it's
481
00:27:08,267 --> 00:27:10,740
still flowing around the area.
482
00:27:10,740 --> 00:27:15,494
It's the area itself that
seems to hold the energy
483
00:27:15,494 --> 00:27:17,717
and put it out and
draw people to it.
484
00:27:20,569 --> 00:27:23,032
NARRATOR: But is
Puerta de Hayu Marca
485
00:27:23,032 --> 00:27:27,636
the only strange sight in Peru?
486
00:27:27,636 --> 00:27:32,531
Are there are other
mysterious places here?
487
00:27:32,531 --> 00:27:34,003
Some believer there are.
488
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,145
High up in the mountains
of Peru, 850 miles north
489
00:27:46,145 --> 00:27:50,259
of the Gate of the gods is a
breathtaking, two mile long
490
00:27:50,259 --> 00:27:56,385
plateau-- another area of
reported high magnetic energy.
491
00:27:56,385 --> 00:27:59,989
For centuries, it
has been considered
492
00:27:59,989 --> 00:28:04,673
a powerful, sacred place
among the Incan people.
493
00:28:04,673 --> 00:28:06,185
It's called Markawasi.
494
00:28:08,888 --> 00:28:12,992
PHILIP COPPENS: Markawasi is a
very beautiful region in Peru.
495
00:28:12,992 --> 00:28:16,806
Markawasi is said to have
had very bizarre energy.
496
00:28:16,806 --> 00:28:19,398
People go there and they
experience bizarre energy
497
00:28:19,398 --> 00:28:21,090
patterns.
498
00:28:21,090 --> 00:28:23,432
KATHY DOORE: local people say
it is a place of the wizards
499
00:28:23,432 --> 00:28:27,486
and gods and genies of
old, and, um, they treat it
500
00:28:27,486 --> 00:28:30,149
with a great deal of veneration.
501
00:28:30,149 --> 00:28:33,652
When people go there,
they report a special kind
502
00:28:33,652 --> 00:28:39,208
of frequency and energy--
a euphoria, in fact.
503
00:28:39,208 --> 00:28:40,830
NARRATOR: Most
geologists consider
504
00:28:40,830 --> 00:28:43,642
the many stone
formations on the plateau
505
00:28:43,642 --> 00:28:46,766
to be naturally formed--
born of millions
506
00:28:46,766 --> 00:28:51,000
of years of erosion and
other natural processes.
507
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,174
But is there more here
than first meets the eye?
508
00:28:55,174 --> 00:28:58,647
Some consider Markawasi
to be a massive sculpture
509
00:28:58,647 --> 00:29:02,301
garden, filled with
carvings left behind
510
00:29:02,301 --> 00:29:05,594
by an ancient civilization.
511
00:29:05,594 --> 00:29:06,926
PHILIP COPPENS: This
is a region whereby
512
00:29:06,926 --> 00:29:09,528
stones are not just stones.
513
00:29:09,528 --> 00:29:13,742
What we have here is almost
like a Disneyland of the gods.
514
00:29:13,742 --> 00:29:17,076
The question then is, is this
a purely natural phenomenon,
515
00:29:17,076 --> 00:29:18,337
or is this something more?
516
00:29:22,141 --> 00:29:26,345
NARRATOR: Could this be not
just a collection of rocks,
517
00:29:26,345 --> 00:29:29,418
but a sanctuary of
stone monuments made
518
00:29:29,418 --> 00:29:34,313
by people tens, or even hundreds
of thousands of years ago?
519
00:29:34,313 --> 00:29:37,266
Researcher Daniel Ruzo
was the first to make
520
00:29:37,266 --> 00:29:41,660
this claim in 1952.
521
00:29:41,660 --> 00:29:43,963
KATHY DOORE: Daniel
Ruzo was shown
522
00:29:43,963 --> 00:29:48,667
a photograph of a huge,
colossal stone head
523
00:29:48,667 --> 00:29:51,150
up in the high
mountains above Lima.
524
00:29:51,150 --> 00:29:54,353
And he made an expedition there,
just to see this stone head.
525
00:29:54,353 --> 00:29:57,696
But he was astonished to
find that, on this tiny mesa
526
00:29:57,696 --> 00:29:59,698
were hundreds of carved stones.
527
00:30:05,384 --> 00:30:07,106
NARRATOR: There are
those who believe
528
00:30:07,106 --> 00:30:10,679
the rock formations depict
animals and people not
529
00:30:10,679 --> 00:30:13,122
indigenous to South America.
530
00:30:13,122 --> 00:30:17,636
They see in them figures
such as an African queen,
531
00:30:17,636 --> 00:30:20,930
the Egyptian god of
fertility, Taweret,
532
00:30:20,930 --> 00:30:27,256
depicted as an upright
hippopotamus, a camel,
533
00:30:27,256 --> 00:30:29,428
and many others.
534
00:30:29,428 --> 00:30:33,943
One formation, known as
the Monument to Humanity,
535
00:30:33,943 --> 00:30:37,957
features what appears to be
a Western face on one side
536
00:30:37,957 --> 00:30:41,010
and a Middle Eastern
one on the other.
537
00:30:41,010 --> 00:30:44,603
Is it really possible that
so many formations which
538
00:30:44,603 --> 00:30:47,826
appear to depict figures
from around the world
539
00:30:47,826 --> 00:30:52,491
could coincidentally be
found on a single plateau?
540
00:30:52,491 --> 00:30:57,776
Or, if they are man-made,
who may have carved them?
541
00:30:57,776 --> 00:30:58,908
KATHY DOORE: The
local legends say
542
00:30:58,908 --> 00:31:03,122
that it is a place of
the ancient giant gods--
543
00:31:03,122 --> 00:31:05,494
that the gods created this.
544
00:31:05,494 --> 00:31:08,827
In fact, when the Spanish
chroniclers came to Peru
545
00:31:08,827 --> 00:31:14,683
and investigated the ancient
shamanic religions of Peru,
546
00:31:14,683 --> 00:31:18,657
they told a story of Tici
Viracocha, the creator-god,
547
00:31:18,657 --> 00:31:20,629
who arrived in
the guise of a man
548
00:31:20,629 --> 00:31:24,283
to walk and inspect his lands.
549
00:31:24,283 --> 00:31:27,426
And, he had given
them different orders.
550
00:31:27,426 --> 00:31:28,898
And there were
some rebel nations
551
00:31:28,898 --> 00:31:32,421
that were not doing what
they were supposed to do.
552
00:31:32,421 --> 00:31:34,133
And he probably
turned them to stone.
553
00:31:38,737 --> 00:31:41,880
NARRATOR: The name
Markawasi provides a clue
554
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,903
to its origins and mystery.
555
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:49,218
The word itself predates
the Incan empire.
556
00:31:49,218 --> 00:31:53,933
Markawasi scholar and researcher
Daniel Ruzo believed the name
557
00:31:53,933 --> 00:31:57,826
meant, "two-story house," and
referred to the strange complex
558
00:31:57,826 --> 00:32:01,320
of buildings
located on the site.
559
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,192
JASON MARTELL: really
raises the question
560
00:32:03,192 --> 00:32:05,724
that scholars and theologians
have been trying to figure out
561
00:32:05,724 --> 00:32:08,827
for many years-- is there
an Atlantian, or some lost
562
00:32:08,827 --> 00:32:09,979
civilization?
563
00:32:09,979 --> 00:32:13,042
So, Markawasi puts that
question back on the map.
564
00:32:13,042 --> 00:32:14,163
Could this be possible?
565
00:32:14,163 --> 00:32:17,846
Were there trans-oceanic
cultures visiting thousands
566
00:32:17,846 --> 00:32:21,630
of years ago off the
books of recorded history?
567
00:32:21,630 --> 00:32:25,794
NARRATOR: According to Daniel
Ruzo, the ancient civilization
568
00:32:25,794 --> 00:32:31,070
that created Markawasi were
a people known as the Masma.
569
00:32:31,070 --> 00:32:35,985
An supposedly, Peru was
not their only home.
570
00:32:35,985 --> 00:32:40,639
ROBERT M. SCHOCH: The Masma
was this very, very ancient,
571
00:32:40,639 --> 00:32:43,122
advanced civilization,
advanced culture--
572
00:32:43,122 --> 00:32:46,565
if we want to call it that--
seems to have been global,
573
00:32:46,565 --> 00:32:51,570
seems to have traveled worldwide
at a very early period.
574
00:32:51,570 --> 00:32:54,333
And, Ruzo spent much
of his time looking
575
00:32:54,333 --> 00:32:57,896
around the world for evidence
of this advanced civilization.
576
00:32:57,896 --> 00:33:01,550
And he thought he'd
found it at Markawasi.
577
00:33:01,550 --> 00:33:04,503
He actually saw
Markawasi, in many ways,
578
00:33:04,503 --> 00:33:07,086
as being like a huge
sculpture garden
579
00:33:07,086 --> 00:33:09,938
that the Masma had built there.
580
00:33:13,082 --> 00:33:16,065
NARRATOR: If such a
worldwide community existed,
581
00:33:16,065 --> 00:33:17,066
what happened to it?
582
00:33:17,066 --> 00:33:20,719
Was it, as some
believe, wiped out
583
00:33:20,719 --> 00:33:24,443
in the great flood
described in the Bible?
584
00:33:24,443 --> 00:33:25,614
MICHAEL BARA: It's
very interesting
585
00:33:25,614 --> 00:33:28,577
that these carvings are found
that 12,000 feet, because that
586
00:33:28,577 --> 00:33:30,809
kind of implies that
civilization started at the top
587
00:33:30,809 --> 00:33:34,012
and then worked its way back
down as the waters of the flood
588
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:35,154
receded.
589
00:33:35,154 --> 00:33:36,705
It's almost as if
the first thing
590
00:33:36,705 --> 00:33:40,018
they did when Noah's Ark
descended and landed-- maybe
591
00:33:40,018 --> 00:33:43,332
landed at Markawasi-- was to
record all the animals they
592
00:33:43,332 --> 00:33:45,404
collected, if you
buy the whole concept
593
00:33:45,404 --> 00:33:48,307
of a story of saving what
was left of humanity,
594
00:33:48,307 --> 00:33:51,500
and saving what they could
of the animal kingdom.
595
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:54,673
ROBERT M. SCHOCH: If these
are real sculptures-- or even
596
00:33:54,673 --> 00:33:57,086
natural formations
that were touched up--
597
00:33:57,086 --> 00:34:02,071
they are so old, geologically,
that all we can really do
598
00:34:02,071 --> 00:34:05,924
is fall back to some of
the speculations of people
599
00:34:05,924 --> 00:34:09,168
like Daniel Ruzo-- that
this was some kind of very
600
00:34:09,168 --> 00:34:13,982
ancient civilization.
601
00:34:13,982 --> 00:34:16,875
KATHY DOORE: Perhaps, indeed,
there were ancient gods.
602
00:34:16,875 --> 00:34:20,829
Perhaps there was a race of
beings of a very high minded
603
00:34:20,829 --> 00:34:26,685
nature that came here in
the early, early times that
604
00:34:26,685 --> 00:34:28,737
helped mankind,
and there have been
605
00:34:28,737 --> 00:34:31,760
overseeing their handiwork.
606
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,991
ROBERT M. SCHOCH:
I suspect that they
607
00:34:32,991 --> 00:34:37,096
were trying to record
something about their beliefs,
608
00:34:37,096 --> 00:34:39,518
their civilization--
something that
609
00:34:39,518 --> 00:34:42,471
could be passed on to
future generations.
610
00:34:42,471 --> 00:34:45,414
They may have realized that they
were not going to last forever,
611
00:34:45,414 --> 00:34:48,717
and they want to leave some kind
of mark, some kind of record,
612
00:34:48,717 --> 00:34:52,561
maybe even some kind of
warning for future generations.
613
00:34:56,475 --> 00:34:59,047
NARRATOR: If this advanced,
globe-traveling race
614
00:34:59,047 --> 00:35:04,173
existed in early history,
where did they come from?
615
00:35:04,173 --> 00:35:07,276
According to author
George Hunt Williamson,
616
00:35:07,276 --> 00:35:12,121
who first popularized Markawasi
with his 1959 book, "Road
617
00:35:12,121 --> 00:35:17,386
in the Sky," Markawasi
was a sacred forest,
618
00:35:17,386 --> 00:35:20,959
where extraterrestrial beings
met to plan the future.
619
00:35:20,959 --> 00:35:24,333
And many UFO researchers
believe they're
620
00:35:24,333 --> 00:35:26,735
still returning to this day.
621
00:35:26,735 --> 00:35:28,537
KATHY DOORE: The
mesa has a plethora
622
00:35:28,537 --> 00:35:32,501
of UFO sightings,
ultra-dimensional visitors.
623
00:35:32,501 --> 00:35:35,744
It's is an extraordinary place.
624
00:35:35,744 --> 00:35:39,057
DAVID CHILDRESS: What is
probably Peru's most famous UFO
625
00:35:39,057 --> 00:35:42,421
photo was taken near
Markawasi in the 1970s
626
00:35:42,421 --> 00:35:45,434
by a businessman who
himself was going up
627
00:35:45,434 --> 00:35:48,197
the trail to the
plateau of Markawasi.
628
00:35:48,197 --> 00:35:50,949
When he looked back
down the valley,
629
00:35:50,949 --> 00:35:56,285
and there was a silvery disk
in broad daylight flying up
630
00:35:56,285 --> 00:35:57,956
the valley.
631
00:35:57,956 --> 00:36:02,551
NARRATOR: But are there really
special types of energy flowing
632
00:36:02,551 --> 00:36:05,864
around Markawasi that we are
just beginning to understand?
633
00:36:08,677 --> 00:36:11,089
And, if so, have they
been attracting visitors
634
00:36:11,089 --> 00:36:13,862
for thousands of
years, as reported
635
00:36:13,862 --> 00:36:16,505
at some of the world's
other mysterious places?
636
00:36:16,505 --> 00:36:18,947
MICHAEL BARA: My suspicion
is that extraterrestrials
637
00:36:18,947 --> 00:36:23,392
would be more inclined to come
to these energetic places,
638
00:36:23,392 --> 00:36:25,434
not just because it would make
their technology work better,
639
00:36:25,434 --> 00:36:26,855
but because their
bodies are going
640
00:36:26,855 --> 00:36:28,517
to vibrate at a
frequency that's more
641
00:36:28,517 --> 00:36:33,031
appropriate for the universe
or the world that they inhabit.
642
00:36:33,031 --> 00:36:34,503
ROBERT M. SCHOCH: As
I've looked at studies,
643
00:36:34,503 --> 00:36:37,526
and study it myself, I
think that maybe something
644
00:36:37,526 --> 00:36:41,850
inherent to those spots-- ah,
maybe electromagnetic, maybe
645
00:36:41,850 --> 00:36:43,842
geomagnetic anomaly.
646
00:36:43,842 --> 00:36:45,664
You have, in some
cases, different types
647
00:36:45,664 --> 00:36:48,407
of rocks, different types
of crystalline structures,
648
00:36:48,407 --> 00:36:50,479
maybe underground
flowing water that
649
00:36:50,479 --> 00:36:52,020
will carry electric currents.
650
00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:53,902
So, I think there are
a lot of possibilities.
651
00:36:53,902 --> 00:36:56,805
We really don't understand
exactly what's going on.
652
00:37:00,058 --> 00:37:02,541
NARRATOR: Is there a
reason why these so-called
653
00:37:02,541 --> 00:37:05,304
inter-dimensional
space portals allegedly
654
00:37:05,304 --> 00:37:08,397
appear at certain
spots on our planet?
655
00:37:08,397 --> 00:37:12,681
Is there, are some suggest,
a pattern to their locations?
656
00:37:12,681 --> 00:37:16,004
And what evidence
exists that shows
657
00:37:16,004 --> 00:37:18,527
our ancestors knew the code?
658
00:37:23,862 --> 00:37:27,706
According to ancient
astronaut theorists,
659
00:37:27,706 --> 00:37:31,270
the mysterious energy field
sites around the world
660
00:37:31,270 --> 00:37:33,872
are not randomly located.
661
00:37:33,872 --> 00:37:37,336
They are connected by what
is referred to as, "the World
662
00:37:37,336 --> 00:37:40,589
Grid," a geometric
pattern of energy that
663
00:37:40,589 --> 00:37:41,940
crisscrosses the globe.
664
00:37:44,573 --> 00:37:46,795
DAVID CHILDRESS: Our
planet is covered
665
00:37:46,795 --> 00:37:50,679
with this network of very
subtle, invisible energies
666
00:37:50,679 --> 00:37:53,071
that are all around us.
667
00:37:53,071 --> 00:37:56,535
But at certain
places on the planet,
668
00:37:56,535 --> 00:37:58,607
these energies come
together and they
669
00:37:58,607 --> 00:38:03,382
create a powerful vortex area.
670
00:38:03,382 --> 00:38:08,997
And that energy is, is stronger
and more useful, in a sense,
671
00:38:08,997 --> 00:38:12,331
than some other
part of the earth.
672
00:38:12,331 --> 00:38:13,502
MICHAEL BARA: The
World Grid Theory
673
00:38:13,502 --> 00:38:16,765
is-- it's a concept that
all of these sacred sites,
674
00:38:16,765 --> 00:38:18,347
all around the
world, are actually
675
00:38:18,347 --> 00:38:21,310
connected in some sort of
mathematical, geometric grid
676
00:38:21,310 --> 00:38:24,753
that it came from a time
when we really understood
677
00:38:24,753 --> 00:38:27,586
the harmony between
nature and geometry
678
00:38:27,586 --> 00:38:30,989
and science and mathematics.
679
00:38:30,989 --> 00:38:34,212
DAVID CHILDRESS: It's well known
that Australian Aboriginals
680
00:38:34,212 --> 00:38:38,387
follow these dreaming tracks
as they go on their walkabout
681
00:38:38,387 --> 00:38:40,098
through the desert.
682
00:38:40,098 --> 00:38:45,273
They can see these lines
on the ground, they claim.
683
00:38:45,273 --> 00:38:47,676
The Chinese also
believe that they
684
00:38:47,676 --> 00:38:52,290
can see and track
these dragon lines.
685
00:38:52,290 --> 00:38:57,666
And, in fact, the very popular
Chinese practice of feng shui
686
00:38:57,666 --> 00:39:01,930
is to use these
energy lines that
687
00:39:01,930 --> 00:39:07,826
are coming and going
throughout the land.
688
00:39:07,826 --> 00:39:09,107
NARRATOR: The
unique relationship
689
00:39:09,107 --> 00:39:12,801
between geometric shapes and
certain locations around earth
690
00:39:12,801 --> 00:39:16,805
stretches back in history to the
Pythagorean school of thought
691
00:39:16,805 --> 00:39:17,876
the ancient Greece.
692
00:39:17,876 --> 00:39:21,049
DAVID CHILDRESS: One of the
famous Pythagorean philosophers
693
00:39:21,049 --> 00:39:25,554
of ancient Greece, Plato,
talks about the Earth as, um,
694
00:39:25,554 --> 00:39:29,007
a geometric
dodecahedron-- that it's
695
00:39:29,007 --> 00:39:34,092
like a ball sewn in
various geometric shapes.
696
00:39:34,092 --> 00:39:36,885
And the Pythagorean
school is basically
697
00:39:36,885 --> 00:39:43,291
saying that geometry, and the
various forms of geometry,
698
00:39:43,291 --> 00:39:47,886
are what makes up all
mater, including the Earth.
699
00:39:51,700 --> 00:39:53,602
NARRATOR: Another
strange mystery
700
00:39:53,602 --> 00:39:57,345
surrounds the apparent
concentration of UFO sitings
701
00:39:57,345 --> 00:40:00,679
along the World Grid.
702
00:40:00,679 --> 00:40:06,775
Before his death in 1992, French
UFO researcher Aimee Michelle
703
00:40:06,775 --> 00:40:09,738
mapped every alleged
extraterrestrial report
704
00:40:09,738 --> 00:40:12,881
since the Roswell
incident in 1947.
705
00:40:12,881 --> 00:40:14,182
PHILIP COPPENS: So
when he mapped them,
706
00:40:14,182 --> 00:40:16,755
he found that there they
were very specific-- namely,
707
00:40:16,755 --> 00:40:18,046
in lines.
708
00:40:18,046 --> 00:40:19,488
And he began to map these lines.
709
00:40:19,488 --> 00:40:21,970
And found that these lines
were not just random,
710
00:40:21,970 --> 00:40:25,904
but were actually linked
to degrees of latitude,
711
00:40:25,904 --> 00:40:28,296
and that there was
really a science
712
00:40:28,296 --> 00:40:32,010
behind where UFOs were sighted.
713
00:40:32,010 --> 00:40:34,042
NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists
714
00:40:34,042 --> 00:40:37,345
believed that the concentration
of energy levels and UFO
715
00:40:37,345 --> 00:40:39,217
sightings is not a coincidence.
716
00:40:41,890 --> 00:40:47,105
They claim that otherworldly
beings visited our ancestors,
717
00:40:47,105 --> 00:40:51,630
and told them of the special
powers in these locations.
718
00:40:51,630 --> 00:40:53,562
Then, they say,
the ancient people
719
00:40:53,562 --> 00:40:56,214
were shown how to build
incredible structures
720
00:40:56,214 --> 00:40:59,908
to magnify these natural powers.
721
00:40:59,908 --> 00:41:02,000
It's a theory known as Geomancy.
722
00:41:06,164 --> 00:41:11,389
DAVID CHILDRESS: So, in fact, by
building pyramids and standing
723
00:41:11,389 --> 00:41:13,932
stones-- obelisks
and things like
724
00:41:13,932 --> 00:41:17,526
that-- we can work with
this natural energy
725
00:41:17,526 --> 00:41:19,257
field around the Earth.
726
00:41:19,257 --> 00:41:23,662
And, in a similar way to
acupuncture on a human body,
727
00:41:23,662 --> 00:41:25,834
we can do that to
the Earth, too.
728
00:41:25,834 --> 00:41:30,519
And by putting a certain
structures, or a needle
729
00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:34,673
in a certain place in the Earth,
we can accentuate the energies.
730
00:41:37,295 --> 00:41:40,348
ERICH VON DANIKEN:
In Europe, lines--
731
00:41:40,348 --> 00:41:46,344
sometimes 1,000 kilometers of
long-- exist from antiquity.
732
00:41:46,344 --> 00:41:49,798
In Europe, they are
called, "ley lines."
733
00:41:49,798 --> 00:41:53,431
All of the antique places
are linked together.
734
00:41:53,431 --> 00:41:55,654
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: These
ley lines extend all the way
735
00:41:55,654 --> 00:41:58,937
from England, all the
way through France,
736
00:41:58,937 --> 00:42:04,302
down across through Italy,
and just in a straight line.
737
00:42:04,302 --> 00:42:08,396
And the fascinating aspect is
that many of those towns that
738
00:42:08,396 --> 00:42:13,331
are that line, the
root of the town's name
739
00:42:13,331 --> 00:42:19,237
is represented across
20, 30 town names.
740
00:42:19,237 --> 00:42:22,380
ERICH VON DANIKEN: Every
point is on one line.
741
00:42:22,380 --> 00:42:23,932
It's an archaeological point.
742
00:42:23,932 --> 00:42:28,947
At every point has the
same core of the word.
743
00:42:28,947 --> 00:42:31,870
The word is always, "star."
744
00:42:31,870 --> 00:42:34,823
It's absolutely fascinating,
and it's not coincidence.
745
00:42:34,823 --> 00:42:37,375
Our Stone Age people
did not, by coincidence,
746
00:42:37,375 --> 00:42:39,888
just put their holy places
in the Stone Age in one line.
747
00:42:39,888 --> 00:42:41,740
Somebody ordered it.
748
00:42:41,740 --> 00:42:46,514
And somebody told them, use the
word, "star" for your village,
749
00:42:46,514 --> 00:42:49,487
for eternity.
Don't change it.
750
00:42:49,487 --> 00:42:49,517
for eternity.
Don't change it.
MICHAEL BARA: So,
the question is,
751
00:42:49,517 --> 00:42:50,619
MICHAEL BARA: So,
the question is,
752
00:42:50,619 --> 00:42:53,652
are those guys the
extraterrestrials,
753
00:42:53,652 --> 00:42:56,574
or is it possible
that we, in fact, are
754
00:42:56,574 --> 00:42:59,948
extraterrestrial-- we
did not come from here.
755
00:42:59,948 --> 00:43:03,041
And it's simply an older
version of humanity
756
00:43:03,041 --> 00:43:04,653
taking care of the
younger version
757
00:43:04,653 --> 00:43:07,355
that they're going to
leave the planet to.
758
00:43:07,355 --> 00:43:09,137
ERICH VON DANIKEN: It
idea was that, generations
759
00:43:09,137 --> 00:43:13,812
in the far future, they must
struggle over these artifacts
760
00:43:13,812 --> 00:43:15,383
and over these indications.
761
00:43:15,383 --> 00:43:17,445
And they must start
to ask questions.
762
00:43:17,445 --> 00:43:19,387
That's the situation
we have today.
763
00:43:19,387 --> 00:43:21,670
MICHAEL BARA: The main thing
that these mysterious places
764
00:43:21,670 --> 00:43:24,212
can tell us about
our past is that it's
765
00:43:24,212 --> 00:43:27,445
a lot more complex than
they teach us in school.
766
00:43:27,445 --> 00:43:29,587
NARRATOR: Until
future scientists
767
00:43:29,587 --> 00:43:32,510
solve the strange issues
surrounding certain spots
768
00:43:32,510 --> 00:43:36,785
on Earth, we'll be left
with lingering questions.
769
00:43:36,785 --> 00:43:40,428
Might these locations really
be portals, or entrances,
770
00:43:40,428 --> 00:43:41,559
to wormholes?
771
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:45,223
Did extraterrestrial
beings transport themselves
772
00:43:45,223 --> 00:43:48,476
to Earth using special
electromagnetic fields
773
00:43:48,476 --> 00:43:50,979
in these mysterious places?
774
00:43:50,979 --> 00:43:55,303
And were these secrets known by
ancient civilizations, now lost
775
00:43:55,303 --> 00:43:57,015
to history?
