1
00:00:01,672 --> 00:00:03,734
NARRATOR: Zeus.
2
00:00:03,734 --> 00:00:05,406
Surya.
3
00:00:05,406 --> 00:00:07,648
Thor.
4
00:00:07,648 --> 00:00:10,691
For thousands of
years, ancient myths
5
00:00:10,691 --> 00:00:13,914
have described gods who
came down from the heavens.
6
00:00:13,914 --> 00:00:17,118
-Always, you have
someone who is descending
7
00:00:17,118 --> 00:00:20,831
from the sky with loud
noise, with thundering,
8
00:00:20,831 --> 00:00:23,464
with fire, with smoke.
9
00:00:23,464 --> 00:00:26,207
-They would have come from the
most powerful and magical place
10
00:00:26,207 --> 00:00:29,090
possible-- from the stars.
11
00:00:29,090 --> 00:00:32,283
NARRATOR: But just who were
these mystical beings that
12
00:00:32,283 --> 00:00:35,296
ruled the skies with
supernatural powers?
13
00:00:35,296 --> 00:00:38,179
-You could wonder if--
these tales of Zeus's
14
00:00:38,179 --> 00:00:43,864
thunderbolts, Thor's hammer,
if these weren't real weapons.
15
00:00:43,864 --> 00:00:46,567
NARRATOR: Did our ancient
ancestors create the gods
16
00:00:46,567 --> 00:00:50,071
from their own imaginations,
or did they simply report
17
00:00:50,071 --> 00:00:52,773
events they believed to be true?
18
00:00:52,773 --> 00:00:58,339
-Our ancestors misinterpreted
extraterrestrials as gods
19
00:00:58,339 --> 00:01:00,401
because that was the
only way that they
20
00:01:00,401 --> 00:01:04,515
could explain away
what they witnessed.
21
00:01:04,515 --> 00:01:07,037
NARRATOR: Millions of
people around the world
22
00:01:07,037 --> 00:01:09,290
believe we've been
visited in the past
23
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:11,932
by extraterrestrial beings.
24
00:01:11,932 --> 00:01:14,335
What if it were true?
25
00:01:14,335 --> 00:01:18,959
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,622
And were the gods
of our ancestors
27
00:01:21,622 --> 00:01:25,546
actually visitors
from other worlds?
28
00:01:25,546 --> 00:01:28,038
[MUSIC PLAYING]
29
00:01:57,708 --> 00:01:59,610
NARRATOR: Truva, Turkey.
30
00:01:59,610 --> 00:02:02,713
For over 150 years,
this small city
31
00:02:02,713 --> 00:02:04,815
has been the center
of one of the greatest
32
00:02:04,815 --> 00:02:07,908
archaeological finds
in modern history.
33
00:02:07,908 --> 00:02:11,912
The possible discovery of
the legendary city of Troy.
34
00:02:16,417 --> 00:02:21,162
In 1868, amateur archaeologist
Heinrich Schliemann
35
00:02:21,162 --> 00:02:24,305
set out to find what he
believed was the city that
36
00:02:24,305 --> 00:02:27,438
served as the basis
for the Trojan War
37
00:02:27,438 --> 00:02:29,610
as described in
one of the greatest
38
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:33,854
pieces of classical literature--
Homer's epic poem, The Iliad.
39
00:02:36,747 --> 00:02:40,351
Written in the 8th
century BC, Homer's Iliad
40
00:02:40,351 --> 00:02:43,023
tells the tale of
a great war borne
41
00:02:43,023 --> 00:02:46,307
of feuding and jealous gods.
42
00:02:46,307 --> 00:02:49,790
While most scholars believe
the story of the Trojan War
43
00:02:49,790 --> 00:02:52,213
was a work of
fiction, Schliemann
44
00:02:52,213 --> 00:02:55,045
was determined to prove
the myth was a reality.
45
00:02:58,249 --> 00:02:59,820
-Heinrich Schliemann's
discoveries
46
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:02,132
rock the archaeological world.
47
00:03:02,132 --> 00:03:05,906
Armed with his copy of
the Iliad, basically,
48
00:03:05,906 --> 00:03:08,949
he just decided that he
was going to find Troy.
49
00:03:08,949 --> 00:03:13,934
And so he went and
just dug a big hole.
50
00:03:13,934 --> 00:03:17,167
And when he went, he
discovered the real Troy.
51
00:03:27,137 --> 00:03:30,961
NARRATOR: But if Homer's
story of Troy was true,
52
00:03:30,961 --> 00:03:34,775
what would it say about other
Greek stories and myths?
53
00:03:34,775 --> 00:03:39,079
Might those also be true?
54
00:03:39,079 --> 00:03:44,545
Did powerful gods and
goddesses actually exist?
55
00:03:44,545 --> 00:03:47,938
And if so, where
did they come from?
56
00:03:52,793 --> 00:03:57,308
Hellas, also known as "Greece."
57
00:03:57,308 --> 00:04:01,492
Each day, thousands of tourists
visit temples and monuments
58
00:04:01,492 --> 00:04:05,045
built to honor the
gods of another age--
59
00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:13,494
the Acropolis,
Delphi, the Parthenon,
60
00:04:13,494 --> 00:04:16,767
the Temple of Apollo.
61
00:04:16,767 --> 00:04:20,541
These ancient sites reflect
a powerful reverence
62
00:04:20,541 --> 00:04:24,154
for beings that supposedly ruled
the world thousands of years
63
00:04:24,154 --> 00:04:24,655
ago.
64
00:04:29,450 --> 00:04:33,233
-When you look at in many of the
mythologies around the world,
65
00:04:33,233 --> 00:04:37,948
they have these stories of
gods coming down from the sky.
66
00:04:41,652 --> 00:04:44,975
-There's a beautiful description
of the way that the gods move.
67
00:04:44,975 --> 00:04:47,678
Like when they kind
come down to the earth,
68
00:04:47,678 --> 00:04:50,140
you get the sense of
them gliding down,
69
00:04:50,140 --> 00:04:53,263
but the way that they move
is kind of beyond time.
70
00:04:53,263 --> 00:04:55,706
It just kind of happens.
71
00:04:55,706 --> 00:04:57,558
NARRATOR: If the
ancient Greeks invented
72
00:04:57,558 --> 00:05:00,401
the stories of gods
as a primitive attempt
73
00:05:00,401 --> 00:05:03,073
to explain their
universe, how can
74
00:05:03,073 --> 00:05:05,556
we account for
similar deities found
75
00:05:05,556 --> 00:05:10,981
in widely different regions
and cultures around the globe.
76
00:05:10,981 --> 00:05:13,183
Was it mere coincidence?
77
00:05:13,183 --> 00:05:17,448
Or was there a common origin
for these gods who supposedly
78
00:05:17,448 --> 00:05:19,630
traveled to earth
from the skies.
79
00:05:27,848 --> 00:05:30,481
-The earliest civilization
we have-- 3,800
80
00:05:30,481 --> 00:05:32,983
BC-- the Sumerians
actually give us
81
00:05:32,983 --> 00:05:36,597
visual descriptions of these
beings and speak of this time
82
00:05:36,597 --> 00:05:38,539
that they lived amongst
their living gods.
83
00:05:38,539 --> 00:05:40,601
They call their
gods the "Anunnaki,"
84
00:05:40,601 --> 00:05:44,685
and that term simply meant those
who from heaven come to earth.
85
00:05:44,685 --> 00:05:48,449
-Mythology is chockful
of these episodes of gods
86
00:05:48,449 --> 00:05:49,360
coming down to earth.
87
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,563
I mean, because mythology is so
interested in the relationship
88
00:05:52,563 --> 00:05:54,825
between gods and humans,
there is necessarily
89
00:05:54,825 --> 00:05:57,388
going to be a lot of
communication and communion
90
00:05:57,388 --> 00:05:58,529
between the two of them.
91
00:06:01,221 --> 00:06:05,396
NARRATOR: In his book, Odyssey
of the Gods, Erich von Daniken
92
00:06:05,396 --> 00:06:09,720
argues that the world's sacred
books are full of descriptions,
93
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,286
not of gods, but of supernatural
beings interacting with humans.
94
00:06:16,286 --> 00:06:19,810
-Some thousands of years ago,
when our forefathers were still
95
00:06:19,810 --> 00:06:24,274
primitive some extraterrestrials
descended to our planet.
96
00:06:24,274 --> 00:06:26,987
And because of
misunderstanding, lack
97
00:06:26,987 --> 00:06:30,050
of technology our
forefathers thought
98
00:06:30,050 --> 00:06:34,004
that these extraterrestrials
must be some gods.
99
00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:45,235
NARRATOR: Mount Olympus,
Greece's highest mountain.
100
00:06:45,235 --> 00:06:48,879
According to ancient myths, this
site was the home of the gods.
101
00:06:52,072 --> 00:06:56,266
It was here on Mount Olympus
that Zeus sat on his throne
102
00:06:56,266 --> 00:06:58,619
and determined the
fate of mortal man.
103
00:07:01,732 --> 00:07:04,054
-Whenever we have
references to Mount Olympus,
104
00:07:04,054 --> 00:07:09,700
it is described to be this
magnificent palace on top
105
00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:14,655
of Mount Olympus, allegedly,
and the temple walls were always
106
00:07:14,655 --> 00:07:17,688
gleaming of gold or
gleaming with silver
107
00:07:17,688 --> 00:07:21,201
and a lot of little lights
that they described as jewels.
108
00:07:24,775 --> 00:07:28,639
Well, if you look at that
from a modern perspective,
109
00:07:28,639 --> 00:07:32,833
what if that place,
Mount Olympus,
110
00:07:32,833 --> 00:07:35,606
wasn't necessarily
the top of a mountain,
111
00:07:35,606 --> 00:07:38,228
but it was, in
fact, a spaceship?
112
00:07:38,228 --> 00:07:41,812
Because it is described
how sometimes there
113
00:07:41,812 --> 00:07:46,076
was a big rumbling with Mount
Olympus and the entire top
114
00:07:46,076 --> 00:07:47,077
lifted off.
115
00:07:50,050 --> 00:07:53,403
NARRATOR: But if Mount Olympus
was home to alien visitors,
116
00:07:53,403 --> 00:07:57,207
could Zeus have
been their leader?
117
00:07:57,207 --> 00:08:00,531
According to both the
Iliad and the Odyssey,
118
00:08:00,531 --> 00:08:05,125
Zeus was often depicted as
wielding a lightning bolt.
119
00:08:05,125 --> 00:08:08,098
-It appears to be a
very powerful weapon
120
00:08:08,098 --> 00:08:12,933
because he could
destroy whole cities
121
00:08:12,933 --> 00:08:16,737
with this thunderbolt
weapon of his.
122
00:08:16,737 --> 00:08:18,639
NARRATOR: Similarly,
Zeus' brother,
123
00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:23,073
Poseidon-- the god of the
sea-- was armed with a trident.
124
00:08:23,073 --> 00:08:29,429
-He was able to create tsunamis,
tidal waves with this weapon.
125
00:08:29,429 --> 00:08:33,824
The trident weapon
of Poseidon seems
126
00:08:33,824 --> 00:08:39,830
to have been something
more than just a pitchfork.
127
00:08:39,830 --> 00:08:44,685
-So is it possible that the
lightning bolt and the trident
128
00:08:44,685 --> 00:08:47,107
is some type of a
direct energy device?
129
00:08:51,982 --> 00:08:54,044
NARRATOR: Arguably, one
of the most important
130
00:08:54,044 --> 00:08:58,188
of the Greek gods
was Apollo who rode
131
00:08:58,188 --> 00:09:01,652
the skies in his
chariot of fire.
132
00:09:01,652 --> 00:09:06,577
-Apollo first was the teacher of
the young Greeks living there.
133
00:09:06,577 --> 00:09:11,041
He teach them how to make
buildings on the mountain,
134
00:09:11,041 --> 00:09:12,282
on the hillside.
135
00:09:12,282 --> 00:09:14,254
He teach them how to make roads.
136
00:09:14,254 --> 00:09:15,295
He teach them in astronomy.
137
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,811
NARRATOR: Centuries
later, when Rome
138
00:09:20,811 --> 00:09:23,393
ruled over Europe and
the Mediterranean,
139
00:09:23,393 --> 00:09:27,848
from the 1st century BC
until the 7th century AD,
140
00:09:27,848 --> 00:09:32,562
the Romans paid homage to
gods similar to the Greeks.
141
00:09:32,562 --> 00:09:37,157
Zeus was now known as "Jupiter."
142
00:09:37,157 --> 00:09:40,961
Poseidon was called "Neptune."
143
00:09:40,961 --> 00:09:45,806
But Apollo was known to both
the Romans and the Greeks.
144
00:09:45,806 --> 00:09:47,527
Coincidence?
145
00:09:47,527 --> 00:09:51,421
Or as most ancient astronaut
theorists believed, was it
146
00:09:51,421 --> 00:09:54,064
the historical account
of powerful beings that
147
00:09:54,064 --> 00:09:56,246
came to earth
thousands of years ago?
148
00:09:59,599 --> 00:10:01,271
-We know that the
extraterrestrials more
149
00:10:01,271 --> 00:10:04,845
than likely are the source
of what they call "gods."
150
00:10:04,845 --> 00:10:06,046
How did they get here?
151
00:10:06,046 --> 00:10:09,379
More than likely, in
some type of craft.
152
00:10:09,379 --> 00:10:12,122
-What we map into our
myths and our legends
153
00:10:12,122 --> 00:10:15,415
are incredible stories,
incredible events.
154
00:10:15,415 --> 00:10:18,849
And any extraterrestrial
being, any ancient alien
155
00:10:18,849 --> 00:10:22,172
who has come here on
earth will be written down
156
00:10:22,172 --> 00:10:25,545
into this account because it
is such an extraordinary event
157
00:10:25,545 --> 00:10:28,659
that it'll be marked forever.
158
00:10:28,659 --> 00:10:32,522
NARRATOR: But if the stories of
Greek and Roman gods are true,
159
00:10:32,522 --> 00:10:34,314
can evidence of
their existence be
160
00:10:34,314 --> 00:10:37,938
found in other
parts of the globe?
161
00:10:37,938 --> 00:10:40,420
And if so, where did they go?
162
00:10:47,978 --> 00:10:51,722
On the northwest coast of
France, just south of Brittany,
163
00:10:51,722 --> 00:10:54,875
lies one of the most important
prehistoric sites in Europe.
164
00:10:57,798 --> 00:11:00,240
At the seaside
village of Carnac,
165
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,864
over 3,000 megalithic
stones are placed in rows
166
00:11:03,864 --> 00:11:07,397
over two miles long.
167
00:11:07,397 --> 00:11:11,651
The Carnac stones were hewn
from local rock formations
168
00:11:11,651 --> 00:11:16,166
and erected between
4500 to 2500 BC,
169
00:11:16,166 --> 00:11:19,609
at the end of the Stone Age.
170
00:11:19,609 --> 00:11:22,162
They are the largest
collection of standing stones
171
00:11:22,162 --> 00:11:22,753
in the world.
172
00:11:27,207 --> 00:11:31,702
-Archaeologists are baffled by
the many megaliths at Carnac
173
00:11:31,702 --> 00:11:32,923
here.
174
00:11:32,923 --> 00:11:36,837
It's clearly a massive
construction project
175
00:11:36,837 --> 00:11:41,401
with blocks of granite
weighing 50 to 100,
176
00:11:41,401 --> 00:11:46,396
to even up to 350 tons.
177
00:11:46,396 --> 00:11:50,620
Legends here say that
giants built Carnac,
178
00:11:50,620 --> 00:11:54,995
but you have to wonder--
What is the real purpose
179
00:11:54,995 --> 00:11:57,007
of these giant megaliths?
180
00:11:57,007 --> 00:12:01,721
And why would
prehistoric people have
181
00:12:01,721 --> 00:12:04,264
moved all of these
massive stones
182
00:12:04,264 --> 00:12:09,790
and placed them in their many
alignments here at Carnac?
183
00:12:09,790 --> 00:12:13,463
-Thousands of large
stones have been
184
00:12:13,463 --> 00:12:16,797
arranged in very
interesting patterns.
185
00:12:16,797 --> 00:12:19,389
They're arranged in
intersecting lines
186
00:12:19,389 --> 00:12:23,223
that form triangles
that could only
187
00:12:23,223 --> 00:12:27,177
be visible from above the earth.
188
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,183
These arrangements
of stones may have
189
00:12:33,183 --> 00:12:37,958
been a way of communicating
with extraterrestrial beings.
190
00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:42,823
NARRATOR: The ancient
Greek poet, Pindar,
191
00:12:42,823 --> 00:12:47,647
spoke of a mystical land called
Hyperborea, far to the north
192
00:12:47,647 --> 00:12:50,250
where the sun shined
24 hours a day.
193
00:12:54,404 --> 00:12:58,408
Legends claim that Apollo
visited Hyperborea traveling
194
00:12:58,408 --> 00:13:02,793
in his chariot of
fire every 20 years.
195
00:13:02,793 --> 00:13:05,505
-Apollo, who tells
the Greeks, OK.
196
00:13:05,505 --> 00:13:07,517
I'm going to go see
some other people.
197
00:13:07,517 --> 00:13:09,319
I've got to go and teach them.
198
00:13:09,319 --> 00:13:11,461
And they're like, Well,
where are you off to?
199
00:13:11,461 --> 00:13:12,732
And he's like,
Well, I'm actually
200
00:13:12,732 --> 00:13:16,686
going to a place that's beyond
where the North Wind comes.
201
00:13:16,686 --> 00:13:18,008
It's the land of
the Hyperboreans.
202
00:13:21,121 --> 00:13:24,184
NARRATOR: Although mainstream
archaeologists speculate
203
00:13:24,184 --> 00:13:27,848
that the Carnac stones are
most likely tomb markers,
204
00:13:27,848 --> 00:13:29,890
ancient astronaut
theorists believed
205
00:13:29,890 --> 00:13:32,512
these stones are
intentionally laid out
206
00:13:32,512 --> 00:13:36,656
in a unique geometric formation.
207
00:13:36,656 --> 00:13:40,300
-Many speculations
existed since centuries.
208
00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:42,582
And only a few years
ago, in France,
209
00:13:42,582 --> 00:13:46,026
they started to photograph
this whole French Brittany
210
00:13:46,026 --> 00:13:47,707
by helicopters.
211
00:13:47,707 --> 00:13:49,950
And when they put the
pictures together,
212
00:13:49,950 --> 00:13:52,452
all of a sudden
someone realized,
213
00:13:52,452 --> 00:13:54,484
Hey, this is not coincidence.
214
00:13:54,484 --> 00:14:02,062
The distances of the lines are
always the same-- 2,860 meters,
215
00:14:02,062 --> 00:14:09,229
or exactly the half
of 2,860 meters.
216
00:14:09,229 --> 00:14:11,811
The angles are always the same.
217
00:14:11,811 --> 00:14:15,075
It's Pythagorean triangles.
218
00:14:15,075 --> 00:14:19,009
It's all a gigantic
geometrical pattern
219
00:14:19,009 --> 00:14:22,312
from Stone Age,
which is impossible.
220
00:14:22,312 --> 00:14:27,377
Our Stone Age people had no
idea of Pythagoras' triangles.
221
00:14:27,377 --> 00:14:32,312
Pythagoras was about 420 BC.
222
00:14:32,312 --> 00:14:34,534
NARRATOR: Even though
the geometric arrangement
223
00:14:34,534 --> 00:14:37,938
of the Carnac stones predates
the Pythagorean theorem
224
00:14:37,938 --> 00:14:42,882
by more than 2,000
years, one question
225
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:46,917
remains-- Why were
the stones arranged
226
00:14:46,917 --> 00:14:49,719
in such a precise pattern?
227
00:14:49,719 --> 00:14:52,212
-The Carnac stones are
one of the few things
228
00:14:52,212 --> 00:14:55,986
on the planet that can
actually be seen from space.
229
00:14:55,986 --> 00:14:58,058
And they're a perfect
marker for any kind
230
00:14:58,058 --> 00:15:00,620
of aerial vehicle looking
down on the earth.
231
00:15:04,024 --> 00:15:07,207
-Many of the tourists
who come here to Carnac
232
00:15:07,207 --> 00:15:11,381
claim that they can actually
feel the energy emanating
233
00:15:11,381 --> 00:15:14,594
from these granite megaliths.
234
00:15:14,594 --> 00:15:19,339
How did these ancient people
know about this energy?
235
00:15:19,339 --> 00:15:21,141
And is it possible
that they were
236
00:15:21,141 --> 00:15:25,976
able to use this energy
to even move and erect
237
00:15:25,976 --> 00:15:29,749
these giant stones?
238
00:15:29,749 --> 00:15:35,225
-I am of the opinion that
they were made on purpose.
239
00:15:35,225 --> 00:15:40,750
The extraterrestrials told our
ancestor, Do this and this.
240
00:15:40,750 --> 00:15:44,154
It's not the extraterrestrials
who made the stone lines.
241
00:15:44,154 --> 00:15:48,098
It's the humans who made
it, but by the author
242
00:15:48,098 --> 00:15:52,752
of the extraterrestrials.
243
00:15:52,752 --> 00:15:54,494
NARRATOR: But were
the Carnac stones
244
00:15:54,494 --> 00:15:57,027
a sign post for an
ancient astronaut
245
00:15:57,027 --> 00:16:01,701
called "Apollo" as he flew his
spacecraft high above the land?
246
00:16:05,905 --> 00:16:08,989
-If the Greek god
Apollo was really
247
00:16:08,989 --> 00:16:11,771
some kind of ancient
astronaut, it's
248
00:16:11,771 --> 00:16:14,604
possible that the
stones here at Carnac
249
00:16:14,604 --> 00:16:16,806
were a directional
finder pointing
250
00:16:16,806 --> 00:16:21,621
the way to the far north, to the
Hyperborea of the ancient gods.
251
00:16:30,310 --> 00:16:33,103
NARRATOR: Over 1,000
miles north of Carnac
252
00:16:33,103 --> 00:16:36,646
lies Scandinavian-- home
to an ancient people
253
00:16:36,646 --> 00:16:39,199
called the "Norse."
254
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:42,112
The Norse were tribal
Germanic people
255
00:16:42,112 --> 00:16:47,037
who lived in what is now known
as Sweden, Denmark, Iceland,
256
00:16:47,037 --> 00:16:47,617
and Norway.
257
00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:53,213
Norse legends record the
triumphs of great warriors
258
00:16:53,213 --> 00:16:56,296
with advanced weaponry,
sophisticated combat
259
00:16:56,296 --> 00:17:00,110
techniques, and
navigational prowess.
260
00:17:00,110 --> 00:17:05,995
Like the Greeks, Norse mythology
includes supernatural beings,
261
00:17:05,995 --> 00:17:08,508
other worlds, and powerful gods.
262
00:17:12,372 --> 00:17:15,505
But, like the Romans,
could the Norse myths
263
00:17:15,505 --> 00:17:19,789
refer not to different gods but
the same gods as those depicted
264
00:17:19,789 --> 00:17:22,802
by the ancient Greeks?
265
00:17:22,802 --> 00:17:25,075
-There are a number
of similarities
266
00:17:25,075 --> 00:17:27,847
between Greek mythology
and Norse mythology.
267
00:17:27,847 --> 00:17:32,051
And many of the gods
are almost identical,
268
00:17:32,051 --> 00:17:33,363
and they do much the same thing.
269
00:17:36,516 --> 00:17:38,398
NARRATOR: Descriptions
of the Viking god
270
00:17:38,398 --> 00:17:41,471
Odin-- the god of war,
death, and knowledge--
271
00:17:41,471 --> 00:17:47,056
and the Greek god Zeus
bears striking similarities.
272
00:17:47,056 --> 00:17:51,641
-Zeus and Odin are
both sky father gods.
273
00:17:54,844 --> 00:17:57,127
They travel through
the skies in chariots
274
00:17:57,127 --> 00:18:01,701
because they are akin
to the solar divinities.
275
00:18:01,701 --> 00:18:06,756
The precursor to many religious
beliefs is sun worship.
276
00:18:06,756 --> 00:18:09,439
The ancients knew that
life came from the sun.
277
00:18:09,439 --> 00:18:13,523
So that is a-- a great mystery
and a source of great awe.
278
00:18:18,738 --> 00:18:21,080
-What you're getting there
is not just some minor deity,
279
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,683
but you really are
nailing it down
280
00:18:23,683 --> 00:18:25,585
to one of the chief deities.
281
00:18:25,585 --> 00:18:27,767
This is a very
important character.
282
00:18:27,767 --> 00:18:30,750
And so whoever is
behind Odin or Zeus
283
00:18:30,750 --> 00:18:34,604
is obviously a person
or a divine entity
284
00:18:34,604 --> 00:18:37,247
which is shared
by these cultures.
285
00:18:37,247 --> 00:18:39,989
And it's clear that
whoever inspired
286
00:18:39,989 --> 00:18:43,613
the myth of-- of Zeus
or Odin is somehow
287
00:18:43,613 --> 00:18:46,556
somebody who had an extremely
important contribution to make
288
00:18:46,556 --> 00:18:48,248
to both civilizations.
289
00:18:48,248 --> 00:18:52,041
So this entity was definitely
known throughout Europe.
290
00:18:56,816 --> 00:18:59,149
NARRATOR: Ancient
alien theorists also
291
00:18:59,149 --> 00:19:02,182
point to similarities between
the sophisticated weapons
292
00:19:02,182 --> 00:19:05,755
possessed by both the
Norse and the Greek gods.
293
00:19:05,755 --> 00:19:11,611
Among Odin's weapons was a spear
that never missed its target.
294
00:19:11,611 --> 00:19:14,694
The Norse god Thor--
god of storms, strength,
295
00:19:14,694 --> 00:19:19,579
and fertility-- wielded
a powerful hammer.
296
00:19:19,579 --> 00:19:21,040
-Right there, we
have a correlation,
297
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,295
a connection because, not only
does Zeus have the thunderbolt,
298
00:19:25,295 --> 00:19:28,248
but what does Odin
have, and Thor?
299
00:19:28,248 --> 00:19:30,330
They have a hammer.
300
00:19:30,330 --> 00:19:32,632
Thor has a hammer
with which he can
301
00:19:32,632 --> 00:19:35,335
smash things, destroy things.
302
00:19:35,335 --> 00:19:38,988
And, you know,
the hammer idea is
303
00:19:38,988 --> 00:19:41,901
pretty close with
the description
304
00:19:41,901 --> 00:19:46,206
to the lightning
rod that Zeus has.
305
00:19:46,206 --> 00:19:50,099
-So you have to wonder if these
tales of Zeus' thunderbolts,
306
00:19:50,099 --> 00:19:54,534
Thor's hammer, if these
weren't real weapons.
307
00:19:54,534 --> 00:19:59,018
Just like we have today, where
we have directed energy beam
308
00:19:59,018 --> 00:20:04,063
weapons or are developing some
kind of literal thunderbolt
309
00:20:04,063 --> 00:20:06,085
coming out of a spacecraft.
310
00:20:14,113 --> 00:20:16,456
NARRATOR: But such
similarities are not
311
00:20:16,456 --> 00:20:19,899
limited to the Greek
and Norse myths.
312
00:20:19,899 --> 00:20:23,853
In India, the ancient
epic of the Mahabharata
313
00:20:23,853 --> 00:20:26,266
describes visitations
from gods that
314
00:20:26,266 --> 00:20:30,390
possess the advanced
technology of space travel.
315
00:20:30,390 --> 00:20:33,883
-There you can read, some
thousands of years ago,
316
00:20:33,883 --> 00:20:37,567
gigantic cities
surrounded our planet.
317
00:20:37,567 --> 00:20:39,789
They used the word
"cities" because they
318
00:20:39,789 --> 00:20:42,982
had no word for
modern spaceship.
319
00:20:42,982 --> 00:20:46,125
All of a sudden,
out of these cities,
320
00:20:46,125 --> 00:20:49,178
smaller spacecrafts came out.
321
00:20:49,178 --> 00:20:50,790
Of course, in
ancient Indian they
322
00:20:50,790 --> 00:20:59,529
had no word like "spacecraft,"
so they called it "Vimana."
323
00:20:59,529 --> 00:21:02,462
NARRATOR: The ancient
texts of the Hebrew Bible
324
00:21:02,462 --> 00:21:04,764
also describes a
prophet who traveled
325
00:21:04,764 --> 00:21:06,796
the skies in a
sophisticated machine.
326
00:21:09,899 --> 00:21:12,041
-Who is Enoch?
327
00:21:12,041 --> 00:21:17,747
He was the seventh Antediluvian
prophet in the Old Testament,
328
00:21:17,747 --> 00:21:21,561
including in the Torah
of the Jewish community.
329
00:21:21,561 --> 00:21:24,294
Enoch is only described
with two phrases.
330
00:21:24,294 --> 00:21:24,834
That's all.
331
00:21:24,834 --> 00:21:28,938
And it says that the lord took
him away in a fiery chariot
332
00:21:28,938 --> 00:21:29,509
into the heavens.
333
00:21:32,752 --> 00:21:35,585
NARRATOR: But technology was
not the only characteristic
334
00:21:35,585 --> 00:21:38,388
these ancient deities
had in common.
335
00:21:38,388 --> 00:21:41,961
According to legends, the gods
enjoyed intimate relations
336
00:21:41,961 --> 00:21:42,972
with humans.
337
00:21:42,972 --> 00:21:46,125
But if aliens did
choose human women
338
00:21:46,125 --> 00:21:50,460
as their sexual partners,
what was their motivation?
339
00:21:50,460 --> 00:21:54,514
And just what was the outcome
of these very close encounters?
340
00:22:02,031 --> 00:22:04,183
Ancient myths are
full of stories
341
00:22:04,183 --> 00:22:09,228
of gods descending to
earth to mate with humans.
342
00:22:09,228 --> 00:22:12,221
-According to many sources--
including Norse mythology,
343
00:22:12,221 --> 00:22:15,375
Greek mythology,
and even the Bible--
344
00:22:15,375 --> 00:22:18,047
we have the stories
of these sons of God
345
00:22:18,047 --> 00:22:22,392
or actual gods from Mount
Olympus or Valhalla.
346
00:22:22,392 --> 00:22:24,494
And they're coming to Earth.
347
00:22:24,494 --> 00:22:29,088
They find the daughters
of men attractive.
348
00:22:29,088 --> 00:22:31,551
-When all these
encounters happened
349
00:22:31,551 --> 00:22:35,134
and when women slept
with those gods-- which
350
00:22:35,134 --> 00:22:42,752
can be found in multiple
texts all around the planet,
351
00:22:42,752 --> 00:22:47,577
that those women actually had
sex with extraterrestrials,
352
00:22:47,577 --> 00:22:49,068
not with gods.
353
00:22:49,068 --> 00:22:50,229
Because gods do not exist.
354
00:22:53,503 --> 00:22:56,986
NARRATOR: According to Homer's
Iliad, the citizens of Sparta
355
00:22:56,986 --> 00:22:59,909
were renowned for
their heroic warriors
356
00:22:59,909 --> 00:23:02,281
and their beautiful women.
357
00:23:02,281 --> 00:23:09,569
Zeus, the Greek god of the sky,
admired a human named "Leda."
358
00:23:09,569 --> 00:23:13,593
One afternoon, while Leda
walked alone in an orchard,
359
00:23:13,593 --> 00:23:16,666
Zeus changed into a
swan, enveloped her
360
00:23:16,666 --> 00:23:20,500
in his powerful wings,
and made love to her.
361
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:26,345
Only later did Leda realize she
had been impregnated by a god.
362
00:23:26,345 --> 00:23:28,648
-When you look at
Greek mythology
363
00:23:28,648 --> 00:23:31,991
and-- and many of the
mythologies around the world,
364
00:23:31,991 --> 00:23:36,746
they have these stories of
gods coming down from the sky
365
00:23:36,746 --> 00:23:41,951
and have sexual intercourse with
these humans and, in a sense,
366
00:23:41,951 --> 00:23:44,193
create a new breed of human.
367
00:23:48,818 --> 00:23:50,980
NARRATOR: The offspring
of these couplings
368
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:54,433
were described by the ancients
as demigods or half-gods.
369
00:23:57,907 --> 00:24:02,301
Experts suggest demigods were
supernatural hybrid-beings
370
00:24:02,301 --> 00:24:06,055
of human and alien origin.
371
00:24:06,055 --> 00:24:10,169
Ancient Greeks believed
these beings were exceptional
372
00:24:10,169 --> 00:24:13,162
and destined to perform
extraordinary feats.
373
00:24:16,536 --> 00:24:21,050
-It is a tradition
in many civilizations
374
00:24:21,050 --> 00:24:24,463
that there were certain human
children who were somehow
375
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:28,638
not human but somehow had
a connection to the stars,
376
00:24:28,638 --> 00:24:32,251
to a realm beyond the earth.
377
00:24:32,251 --> 00:24:35,024
And this specialness seems
to be there from birth.
378
00:24:35,024 --> 00:24:38,007
And it somehow seem to
involve a-- a DNA component--
379
00:24:38,007 --> 00:24:43,583
which maybe science needs to
look at and needs to study.
380
00:24:43,583 --> 00:24:46,586
NARRATOR: Some of the oldest
accounts of gods and humans
381
00:24:46,586 --> 00:24:51,851
interbreeding can be found
in ancient Hindu texts.
382
00:24:51,851 --> 00:24:54,644
-In the ancient Sanskrit
writings of India,
383
00:24:54,644 --> 00:24:58,548
we find this account--
A queen named
384
00:24:58,548 --> 00:25:02,181
"Kunti" mated with
a celestial being,
385
00:25:02,181 --> 00:25:06,886
an extraterrestrial, who
was known as the sun god.
386
00:25:06,886 --> 00:25:12,021
The product of this
mating was Karna,
387
00:25:12,021 --> 00:25:15,434
one of the heroes of the
Indian epic, the Mahabharata.
388
00:25:19,959 --> 00:25:21,921
NARRATOR: Perhaps the
most famous demigod
389
00:25:21,921 --> 00:25:26,345
is the Greek hero Heracles, also
known as the Roman Hercules.
390
00:25:29,308 --> 00:25:35,134
Heracles was half-man, half-god
conceived in the union of Zeus
391
00:25:35,134 --> 00:25:42,521
and a mortal woman
named "Alcmene."
392
00:25:42,521 --> 00:25:46,385
Mainstream scholars have often
dismissed the tales of demigods
393
00:25:46,385 --> 00:25:46,926
as fantasy.
394
00:25:50,379 --> 00:25:53,092
But ancient astronaut
theorists believe
395
00:25:53,092 --> 00:25:55,414
they reflect actual
living entities.
396
00:25:58,838 --> 00:26:04,043
-These types of accounts of
the ancient wisdom traditions
397
00:26:04,043 --> 00:26:09,208
have a modern
equivalence in accounts
398
00:26:09,208 --> 00:26:14,243
of alien-terrestrial
hybrids, which
399
00:26:14,243 --> 00:26:18,337
is part of the modern
UFO-alien-abduction type
400
00:26:18,337 --> 00:26:19,138
of account.
401
00:26:21,841 --> 00:26:27,837
It's remarkable that we
find in these modern reports
402
00:26:27,837 --> 00:26:32,331
exact equivalents in
the ancient accounts.
403
00:26:32,331 --> 00:26:37,827
That suggests that we're
dealing with realities here.
404
00:26:37,827 --> 00:26:43,713
We're not just dealing
with imaginary stories.
405
00:26:43,713 --> 00:26:45,665
NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists
406
00:26:45,665 --> 00:26:48,297
say the term "star
children" is another way
407
00:26:48,297 --> 00:26:50,589
to describe the
offspring of humans
408
00:26:50,589 --> 00:26:54,203
and ancient extraterrestrials.
409
00:26:54,203 --> 00:26:56,175
They claim that in
the early traditions
410
00:26:56,175 --> 00:26:59,158
of nearly every
major world religion,
411
00:26:59,158 --> 00:27:01,701
star children correlate
to supernatural
412
00:27:01,701 --> 00:27:04,483
beings known as "gods."
413
00:27:04,483 --> 00:27:08,938
-"Star child" is an often-used
reference in ancient texts when
414
00:27:08,938 --> 00:27:13,643
a woman had a quote/unquote
divine interaction with one
415
00:27:13,643 --> 00:27:21,060
of the gods often resulting in
a woman being pregnant without
416
00:27:21,060 --> 00:27:24,433
having slept with anyone.
417
00:27:24,433 --> 00:27:28,307
You know, is such a
thing even possible?
418
00:27:28,307 --> 00:27:29,348
Yes, it is.
419
00:27:29,348 --> 00:27:31,781
Today, artificial insemination.
420
00:27:31,781 --> 00:27:33,663
That's what happens today.
421
00:27:33,663 --> 00:27:36,896
You no longer have to have
sex in order to have babies.
422
00:27:36,896 --> 00:27:40,659
We have the exact same
description thousands of years
423
00:27:40,659 --> 00:27:43,773
ago where women-- without
sleeping with anyone-- all
424
00:27:43,773 --> 00:27:45,835
of a sudden became pregnant.
425
00:27:45,835 --> 00:27:49,809
And the question is--
How is that possible?
426
00:27:49,809 --> 00:27:52,641
NARRATOR: Did aliens that
came to earth in ancient times
427
00:27:52,641 --> 00:27:56,395
use advanced
fertility technology?
428
00:27:56,395 --> 00:28:01,020
-Within Greek mythology, you
have many strange stories
429
00:28:01,020 --> 00:28:07,476
of centaurs, cyclops,
weird genetic half-human,
430
00:28:07,476 --> 00:28:11,170
half-animal creations.
431
00:28:11,170 --> 00:28:14,994
And you have to speculate--
at least to a point--
432
00:28:14,994 --> 00:28:19,188
that there's a possibility of
strange genetic engineering
433
00:28:19,188 --> 00:28:22,701
going on here and
creating what are
434
00:28:22,701 --> 00:28:26,205
literal monsters in the past.
435
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,878
-In some of the writings
of ancient civilizations,
436
00:28:28,878 --> 00:28:36,175
we see accounts of mating
between extraterrestrial beings
437
00:28:36,175 --> 00:28:41,560
and humans producing
monsters or giants
438
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,836
or other similar
types of beings.
439
00:28:46,836 --> 00:28:48,417
And why is that?
440
00:28:48,417 --> 00:28:54,333
I believe it's because it has
actually happened in the past.
441
00:28:54,333 --> 00:28:56,115
NARRATOR: Could
these ancient tales
442
00:28:56,115 --> 00:28:59,849
of enormous creatures--
half-human, half-beast--
443
00:28:59,849 --> 00:29:01,981
be rooted in truth?
444
00:29:01,981 --> 00:29:06,675
And if so, is there any evidence
these giant hybrids really
445
00:29:06,675 --> 00:29:16,035
existed?
446
00:29:16,035 --> 00:29:18,367
Lovelock, Nevada.
447
00:29:18,367 --> 00:29:21,330
In the early 1800s,
local legends
448
00:29:21,330 --> 00:29:23,823
passed down by
the Paiute Indians
449
00:29:23,823 --> 00:29:25,524
told of a race of
giants who were
450
00:29:25,524 --> 00:29:27,076
exterminated by their tribes.
451
00:29:30,539 --> 00:29:34,473
It is said this was done by
trapping the giants in a cave,
452
00:29:34,473 --> 00:29:37,146
shooting arrows at
them, and then starting
453
00:29:37,146 --> 00:29:39,188
a large fire at the
mouth of the cave.
454
00:29:41,891 --> 00:29:44,343
Evidence of the
slaughter lay undisturbed
455
00:29:44,343 --> 00:29:45,895
until the early 20th century.
456
00:29:54,193 --> 00:29:57,296
-Lovelock Cave was
first discovered
457
00:29:57,296 --> 00:30:01,030
by local ranchers who
were looking for bat guano
458
00:30:01,030 --> 00:30:03,652
to use in their fields.
459
00:30:03,652 --> 00:30:06,365
NARRATOR: In need of
fertilizer for their crops,
460
00:30:06,365 --> 00:30:09,889
the ranchers remove nearly 10
feet of guano-enriched soil
461
00:30:09,889 --> 00:30:13,082
from the surface of the cave.
462
00:30:13,082 --> 00:30:17,626
-And then, they began
finding human remains.
463
00:30:17,626 --> 00:30:23,672
They found up to 40 or 50
people inside this cave.
464
00:30:26,255 --> 00:30:31,120
One was allegedly 7
feet 7 inches tall.
465
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,774
They all had long, red hair
and were literal giants.
466
00:30:38,878 --> 00:30:40,589
NARRATOR: If these
skeletons were
467
00:30:40,589 --> 00:30:44,173
the remains of the
legendary red-haired giants,
468
00:30:44,173 --> 00:30:48,367
were they visitors from
distant continents?
469
00:30:48,367 --> 00:30:51,790
-Throughout the 19th
century, many giant skeletons
470
00:30:51,790 --> 00:30:54,623
were allegedly discovered
in the Midwest,
471
00:30:54,623 --> 00:30:58,607
also in parts of California
and around Death Valley.
472
00:30:58,607 --> 00:31:03,662
And the skeletons here found
at Lovelock are one of the few
473
00:31:03,662 --> 00:31:09,268
that were really excavated
by an accredited university.
474
00:31:09,268 --> 00:31:12,331
NARRATOR: Archaeologists from
the Nevada Historical Society
475
00:31:12,331 --> 00:31:15,034
and the University
of California believe
476
00:31:15,034 --> 00:31:19,398
the cave was occupied
from approximately 1500 BC
477
00:31:19,398 --> 00:31:22,221
until a few hundred years
before white men appeared
478
00:31:22,221 --> 00:31:23,342
in the Nevada territory.
479
00:31:26,615 --> 00:31:30,609
75 miles from the cave
site, a local museum
480
00:31:30,609 --> 00:31:33,772
has preserved several
skulls that some believe
481
00:31:33,772 --> 00:31:35,744
are recovered remains
of the giants.
482
00:31:38,807 --> 00:31:43,082
-Inside this cabinet
here are three skulls
483
00:31:43,082 --> 00:31:46,555
from the Lovelock Caves.
484
00:31:46,555 --> 00:31:49,108
When you first see
these skulls, they
485
00:31:49,108 --> 00:31:55,314
seem to be pretty much
normal-looking skulls.
486
00:31:55,314 --> 00:31:58,407
However, it's when
we really start
487
00:31:58,407 --> 00:32:05,394
to compare the jaw bones with
this modern dental impression
488
00:32:05,394 --> 00:32:09,318
of a normal adult
male that we see
489
00:32:09,318 --> 00:32:15,404
that these jaw bones
are unusually large.
490
00:32:15,404 --> 00:32:20,269
And these are really the
skulls of giant people who
491
00:32:20,269 --> 00:32:25,574
were perhaps 7,
even 8 feet tall.
492
00:32:25,574 --> 00:32:28,277
One of the odd things
with these skulls
493
00:32:28,277 --> 00:32:32,521
is that they're not actually put
on display here at the museum.
494
00:32:32,521 --> 00:32:34,974
And they're kept
hidden in this cabinet.
495
00:32:34,974 --> 00:32:40,059
Now, we don't know if that's
really just out of respect
496
00:32:40,059 --> 00:32:43,482
for the Native Americans
or whether there's really
497
00:32:43,482 --> 00:32:46,615
something unusual about
these giant skulls
498
00:32:46,615 --> 00:32:49,708
that they don't want
them to display it.
499
00:32:49,708 --> 00:32:51,680
NARRATOR: Are the
Nevada bones evidence
500
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,832
of a race of giants
that existed all
501
00:32:53,832 --> 00:32:57,756
through early human history?
502
00:32:57,756 --> 00:33:01,040
If so, could the giants
be the descendants
503
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,952
of extraterrestrials?
504
00:33:03,952 --> 00:33:06,265
According to the
Hebrew testament,
505
00:33:06,265 --> 00:33:13,442
one such giant appeared in the
Valley of Elah 2,500 years ago.
506
00:33:13,442 --> 00:33:16,785
Each morning, for 40
days, a Philistine giant
507
00:33:16,785 --> 00:33:22,681
over 9 feet tall challenged
the Israelites to a fight.
508
00:33:22,681 --> 00:33:27,686
His name was "Goliath."
509
00:33:27,686 --> 00:33:30,669
-David and Goliath is one of
those episodes in the Bible
510
00:33:30,669 --> 00:33:33,882
where you wonder,
What is going on?
511
00:33:33,882 --> 00:33:35,764
Is it just a metaphor?
512
00:33:35,764 --> 00:33:39,028
Or are we dealing with a
fundamental interpretation?
513
00:33:39,028 --> 00:33:43,242
And in that sense, Goliath
has to be a giant creature.
514
00:33:43,242 --> 00:33:46,105
The question, then,
is-- He cannot be human.
515
00:33:46,105 --> 00:33:46,845
What is he?
516
00:33:49,888 --> 00:33:52,491
NARRATOR: David's stunning
triumph over Goliath
517
00:33:52,491 --> 00:33:56,735
was considered a mere fable
until archaeologists turned up
518
00:33:56,735 --> 00:34:00,109
evidence that suggests
this confrontation really
519
00:34:00,109 --> 00:34:02,881
did happen.
520
00:34:02,881 --> 00:34:05,684
On the outskirts of
[INAUDIBLE] Israel,
521
00:34:05,684 --> 00:34:08,036
scientists discovered
a mote that
522
00:34:08,036 --> 00:34:12,040
may have once protected
the Philistine fortress.
523
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,993
Nearby, they found
shards of pottery
524
00:34:14,993 --> 00:34:19,208
inscribed with the
name "Goliath."
525
00:34:19,208 --> 00:34:22,971
Tests indicate the pottery
is from the same time period
526
00:34:22,971 --> 00:34:26,024
as described in the Bible.
527
00:34:26,024 --> 00:34:28,327
Ancient astronaut
theorists claim
528
00:34:28,327 --> 00:34:32,311
this is unmistakable evidence
of extraterrestrial giants
529
00:34:32,311 --> 00:34:34,623
in biblical times.
530
00:34:34,623 --> 00:34:37,045
And they say there is much more.
531
00:34:42,271 --> 00:34:45,053
The most common megalithic
construction known
532
00:34:45,053 --> 00:34:46,725
is the dolmen.
533
00:34:46,725 --> 00:34:49,057
Believed to be
burial chambers, they
534
00:34:49,057 --> 00:34:52,871
are found throughout Europe,
the Middle East, South America,
535
00:34:52,871 --> 00:34:54,193
and Asia.
536
00:34:54,193 --> 00:34:57,756
Could these mega-structures
be the ruins of giants?
537
00:35:00,379 --> 00:35:03,462
-Archeology likes to
use the word "dolmen,"
538
00:35:03,462 --> 00:35:07,146
but they were formerly known in
folklore as "giants' graves."
539
00:35:07,146 --> 00:35:11,009
-A dolmen is shaped like
the-- the Greek letter "pi"
540
00:35:11,009 --> 00:35:12,811
with the top on it.
541
00:35:12,811 --> 00:35:16,915
And they're made of enormous
blocks of limestone.
542
00:35:16,915 --> 00:35:20,269
And even today, it's-- we-- we
are marveled that anyone could
543
00:35:20,269 --> 00:35:22,020
construct those things
and wonder how they got
544
00:35:22,020 --> 00:35:24,723
the top on top of the uprights.
545
00:35:24,723 --> 00:35:26,815
And those were built during
the middle of Bronze Period--
546
00:35:26,815 --> 00:35:30,929
which is roughly 2,000 to
1,500 before the Common Era.
547
00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:33,412
So seeing things like
that, people questioned.
548
00:35:33,412 --> 00:35:34,703
Those must have
been made by giants.
549
00:35:34,703 --> 00:35:38,607
I mean, ordinary people
could not have done that.
550
00:35:38,607 --> 00:35:40,549
-Are we dealing with
metaphors or are
551
00:35:40,549 --> 00:35:42,881
we dealing with a hard evidence?
552
00:35:42,881 --> 00:35:46,235
Are these physical creatures
which somehow roamed the earth?
553
00:35:46,235 --> 00:35:50,519
And I think on volume, we have
to accept that some of these
554
00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:51,680
were real.
555
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,463
The question, then, is--
How did these genetic freaks
556
00:35:54,463 --> 00:35:57,446
come about?
557
00:35:57,446 --> 00:35:59,888
-One of the main tenets of
ancient astronaut theory
558
00:35:59,888 --> 00:36:05,023
suggests that a long time
ago extraterrestrials changed
559
00:36:05,023 --> 00:36:11,240
our genetic makeup through a
targeted mutation of our genes,
560
00:36:11,240 --> 00:36:13,161
essentially in the lab.
561
00:36:13,161 --> 00:36:19,648
So they took a couple of human
beings, altered their DNA,
562
00:36:19,648 --> 00:36:23,432
then reinserted those people
back into the population.
563
00:36:23,432 --> 00:36:26,545
So through procreation,
those people
564
00:36:26,545 --> 00:36:30,048
would pass on those
new genetic alterations
565
00:36:30,048 --> 00:36:32,701
to the entire population.
566
00:36:32,701 --> 00:36:34,102
NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists
567
00:36:34,102 --> 00:36:38,297
suggest the evidence
points to one conclusion--
568
00:36:38,297 --> 00:36:43,642
that aliens changed the
genetics of early human DNA.
569
00:36:43,642 --> 00:36:47,296
-For an alien being
to work with DNA
570
00:36:47,296 --> 00:36:51,420
is so easy that just
creating a new type
571
00:36:51,420 --> 00:36:53,201
is not at all that difficult.
572
00:36:53,201 --> 00:36:55,344
Even today, we
have the capability
573
00:36:55,344 --> 00:36:58,567
to create new types of animals.
574
00:36:58,567 --> 00:37:03,742
The question is-- Were we
created as such as well?
575
00:37:03,742 --> 00:37:05,974
NARRATOR: But what reason
could extraterrestrial
576
00:37:05,974 --> 00:37:08,597
visitors have had for
populating the earth
577
00:37:08,597 --> 00:37:12,331
with mixed species
and monstrous hybrids?
578
00:37:12,331 --> 00:37:15,534
Were they the result of some
kind of scientific experiment
579
00:37:15,534 --> 00:37:16,995
gone terribly wrong?
580
00:37:20,138 --> 00:37:22,691
Did ancient aliens
have some reason
581
00:37:22,691 --> 00:37:24,653
to experiment with human DNA?
582
00:37:34,643 --> 00:37:38,307
The Galapagos Islands off
the coast of South America
583
00:37:38,307 --> 00:37:39,978
are known for their
unique biodiversity.
584
00:37:43,432 --> 00:37:47,576
In 1832, a naturalist
named Charles Darwin
585
00:37:47,576 --> 00:37:50,369
came to these islands
to observe and record
586
00:37:50,369 --> 00:37:54,733
several species of
animals not seen before.
587
00:37:54,733 --> 00:37:57,376
The result of his
studies formed the basis
588
00:37:57,376 --> 00:38:01,279
for his controversial book,
The Origin of Species.
589
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:03,922
In it, Darwin
proposed his theory
590
00:38:03,922 --> 00:38:07,085
of evolution, which held
that all life evolved
591
00:38:07,085 --> 00:38:12,441
over time through a process
of natural selection.
592
00:38:12,441 --> 00:38:14,433
But even Darwin's
theories could not
593
00:38:14,433 --> 00:38:19,938
explain the developmental
gap between apes and man.
594
00:38:19,938 --> 00:38:24,092
There was-- it was believed--
a transitional species that
595
00:38:24,092 --> 00:38:27,015
had to exist-- one
which became referred
596
00:38:27,015 --> 00:38:30,839
to as the "missing link."
597
00:38:30,839 --> 00:38:36,264
-Homo sapiens have been
around for 300,000 years.
598
00:38:36,264 --> 00:38:40,499
And only in a few
thousand years,
599
00:38:40,499 --> 00:38:45,804
our brain size
essentially tripled.
600
00:38:45,804 --> 00:38:50,499
Now, that does not jive
with ordinary evolution.
601
00:38:50,499 --> 00:38:55,664
You need time--
a very long time.
602
00:38:55,664 --> 00:39:00,369
However, today, biologists
cannot quite put a finger
603
00:39:00,369 --> 00:39:07,345
on how our brain volume tripled
in a very short time period.
604
00:39:07,345 --> 00:39:09,087
That is still a mystery.
605
00:39:12,451 --> 00:39:15,554
NARRATOR: Could it be-- as many
ancient astronaut theorists
606
00:39:15,554 --> 00:39:17,946
believe-- that
ancient aliens had
607
00:39:17,946 --> 00:39:23,732
a hand in jump-starting human
evolution on our planet?
608
00:39:23,732 --> 00:39:27,065
-Science has been unable
to find the missing link,
609
00:39:27,065 --> 00:39:28,757
and maybe that's
simply because earth
610
00:39:28,757 --> 00:39:30,899
isn't able to offer
that missing link.
611
00:39:30,899 --> 00:39:33,141
Maybe the missing link
is not of this earth.
612
00:39:33,141 --> 00:39:36,324
Maybe the missing link
is somewhere outside--
613
00:39:36,324 --> 00:39:39,848
extraterrestrial.
614
00:39:39,848 --> 00:39:42,901
NARRATOR: In 1996,
medical science
615
00:39:42,901 --> 00:39:46,665
took a giant step forward when
geneticists successfully cloned
616
00:39:46,665 --> 00:39:48,867
a sheep.
617
00:39:48,867 --> 00:39:51,670
This revolutionary
technology marked
618
00:39:51,670 --> 00:39:54,723
a significant advancement
in our understanding of DNA.
619
00:39:57,716 --> 00:39:59,718
But could
extraterrestrial visitors
620
00:39:59,718 --> 00:40:01,970
have also possessed
knowledge of genetics?
621
00:40:06,064 --> 00:40:08,597
-In the Sumerian
records of mythology,
622
00:40:08,597 --> 00:40:11,349
they explain how they
genetically engineered
623
00:40:11,349 --> 00:40:12,571
the first human being.
624
00:40:12,571 --> 00:40:15,033
And so it's very possible
that extraterrestrials
625
00:40:15,033 --> 00:40:17,636
did genetically engineer us.
626
00:40:17,636 --> 00:40:20,078
-More and more creatures
are being discovered
627
00:40:20,078 --> 00:40:22,190
as science goes
along-- a little case
628
00:40:22,190 --> 00:40:25,363
or on little islands
whereby DNA evidence clearly
629
00:40:25,363 --> 00:40:27,325
shows that something
else has been happening.
630
00:40:27,325 --> 00:40:30,849
We're probably going to get
the hard scientific facts
631
00:40:30,849 --> 00:40:33,241
that something
interbred with humans
632
00:40:33,241 --> 00:40:35,564
on certain occasions,
certain moments in time.
633
00:40:38,717 --> 00:40:40,759
NARRATOR: Could the
giants and monsters
634
00:40:40,759 --> 00:40:42,961
described in the
ancient myths be
635
00:40:42,961 --> 00:40:45,143
examples of genetic mutations?
636
00:40:45,143 --> 00:40:50,308
And if so, what purpose
might they have served?
637
00:40:50,308 --> 00:40:54,392
-There are actually accounts in
the ancient Sanskrit writings
638
00:40:54,392 --> 00:40:58,246
of India of how, in
their original attempts
639
00:40:58,246 --> 00:41:05,013
to produce living
things in the universe,
640
00:41:05,013 --> 00:41:08,126
the gods or the
extraterrestrial beings
641
00:41:08,126 --> 00:41:15,113
made mistakes and produced
different types of monsters
642
00:41:15,113 --> 00:41:18,877
and giants and things like that.
643
00:41:21,910 --> 00:41:23,772
-Why should the
so-called "gods" first
644
00:41:23,772 --> 00:41:26,244
make such mixed creatures?
645
00:41:26,244 --> 00:41:29,027
What's the purpose of it?
646
00:41:29,027 --> 00:41:31,049
They observe a lion.
647
00:41:31,049 --> 00:41:33,852
And they say to
themself, Why don't we
648
00:41:33,852 --> 00:41:38,517
mix the strongest of the
muscle of the one animal
649
00:41:38,517 --> 00:41:44,623
with the heat expellant
skin of the other animal
650
00:41:44,623 --> 00:41:48,977
to use it at some other planet
which is different to earth?
651
00:41:48,977 --> 00:41:52,280
So they start to make breedings.
652
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:53,982
They start to make
mixed creatures.
653
00:41:57,485 --> 00:41:59,738
NARRATOR: Scholars and
archaeologists generally
654
00:41:59,738 --> 00:42:05,614
agree that sometime around 3000
BC, during the megalithic era,
655
00:42:05,614 --> 00:42:08,607
mankind took a quantum
leap forward with regard
656
00:42:08,607 --> 00:42:12,000
to civilization and
use of technology.
657
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,933
According to myths and
legends, human beings
658
00:42:14,933 --> 00:42:18,767
gave credit to their gods for
giving them this knowledge.
659
00:42:18,767 --> 00:42:22,801
But if the gods were,
in fact, alien visitors,
660
00:42:22,801 --> 00:42:25,243
might mankind's quantum
leap forward have
661
00:42:25,243 --> 00:42:29,137
had a more intergalactic origin?
662
00:42:29,137 --> 00:42:32,871
-It is clear that something
affected multiple continents
663
00:42:32,871 --> 00:42:35,754
on this planet around 3000 BC.
664
00:42:35,754 --> 00:42:40,018
The pyramids began to be
built at that moment in time.
665
00:42:40,018 --> 00:42:40,779
Why?
666
00:42:40,779 --> 00:42:43,221
What was that imperative?
667
00:42:43,221 --> 00:42:44,633
Was it a global imperative?
668
00:42:44,633 --> 00:42:45,333
Yes.
669
00:42:45,333 --> 00:42:48,556
Was it an imperative which came
from outside of this world?
670
00:42:48,556 --> 00:42:49,808
Yes.
671
00:42:49,808 --> 00:42:51,910
NARRATOR: If aliens
intervened to speed
672
00:42:51,910 --> 00:42:55,624
the advancement of human
beings, is it also possible
673
00:42:55,624 --> 00:42:57,505
that they have
influenced mankind
674
00:42:57,505 --> 00:42:59,888
at other critical
junctures in history?
675
00:42:59,888 --> 00:43:04,092
And if so, could they have
continued to monitor us,
676
00:43:04,092 --> 00:43:05,734
even today?
677
00:43:05,734 --> 00:43:07,075
-It's very possible
that, if there
678
00:43:07,075 --> 00:43:09,357
was some type of
genetic intervention
679
00:43:09,357 --> 00:43:11,810
by an extraterrestrial
race on humanity,
680
00:43:11,810 --> 00:43:15,624
they would be very interested to
see their experiment progress.
681
00:43:18,897 --> 00:43:22,230
-I have often asked the
question-- Is it not ridiculous
682
00:43:22,230 --> 00:43:24,232
to believe that
extraterrestrials should--
683
00:43:24,232 --> 00:43:26,645
in a way or other--
look similar to us
684
00:43:26,645 --> 00:43:28,647
or even sing similar to us?
685
00:43:28,647 --> 00:43:29,868
No.
686
00:43:29,868 --> 00:43:31,319
The question is wrong.
687
00:43:31,319 --> 00:43:34,442
They are not by
coincidence similar to us,
688
00:43:34,442 --> 00:43:38,046
but we are similar to them
because we are the product.
689
00:43:41,419 --> 00:43:43,091
