These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:09,748 --> 00:00:13,883 Mysterious surgeries performed by early humans. 2 00:00:13,926 --> 00:00:17,843 Very well planned and it happened well before the advent 3 00:00:17,887 --> 00:00:19,541 of modern medicine. 4 00:00:19,584 --> 00:00:22,979 Strange beings, with miraculous powers. 5 00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:25,503 Even though the gods forbade it, 6 00:00:25,547 --> 00:00:28,115 he was actually able to raise the dead. 7 00:00:28,158 --> 00:00:30,900 And a cover-up destroying centuries 8 00:00:30,943 --> 00:00:32,945 of scientific knowledge. 9 00:00:32,989 --> 00:00:34,512 People are afraid of it. 10 00:00:34,556 --> 00:00:37,124 The religious side especially afraid. 11 00:00:37,167 --> 00:00:38,734 Are recent breakthroughs 12 00:00:38,777 --> 00:00:43,478 in medicine really the result of years of research? 13 00:00:43,521 --> 00:00:46,307 Or does the knowledge of healing really come 14 00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:48,787 from an otherworldly source? 15 00:00:48,831 --> 00:00:52,487 It would seem to be that this is medical knowledge that's 16 00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,446 coming from some advanced civilization 17 00:00:55,490 --> 00:00:58,362 of extraterrestrials. 18 00:00:58,406 --> 00:01:01,191 Millions of people around the world 19 00:01:01,235 --> 00:01:03,324 believe we have been visited in the past 20 00:01:03,367 --> 00:01:06,109 by extraterrestrial beings. 21 00:01:06,153 --> 00:01:09,112 What if it were true? 22 00:01:09,156 --> 00:01:14,074 Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 23 00:01:14,117 --> 00:01:18,469 And if so, do stories of advanced medical procedures 24 00:01:18,513 --> 00:01:22,473 in the distant past provide further proof of mankind's 25 00:01:22,517 --> 00:01:25,172 extraterrestrial origins? 26 00:01:57,552 --> 00:02:01,164 2012, Houston, Texas. 27 00:02:01,208 --> 00:02:04,863 Doctors use robotic technology to perform complex heart 28 00:02:04,907 --> 00:02:09,825 surgery through incisions no larger than a keyhole. 29 00:02:09,868 --> 00:02:12,044 Chicago, Illinois. 30 00:02:12,088 --> 00:02:15,309 An amputee climbs 103 floors using 31 00:02:15,352 --> 00:02:17,180 a thought-controlled bionic leg. 32 00:02:21,793 --> 00:02:24,753 At the University of Iowa, researchers 33 00:02:24,796 --> 00:02:27,799 develop technology that fabricates custom body 34 00:02:27,843 --> 00:02:29,453 parts using 3D printers. 35 00:02:32,456 --> 00:02:36,243 In the last 100 years, scientific advances 36 00:02:36,286 --> 00:02:38,854 have dramatically improved mankind's ability 37 00:02:38,897 --> 00:02:42,988 to heal itself, more in fact, than at any time 38 00:02:43,032 --> 00:02:47,297 in the last five centuries. 39 00:02:47,341 --> 00:02:49,212 Throughout history, medicine is 40 00:02:49,256 --> 00:02:53,477 about correcting physical problems, 41 00:02:53,521 --> 00:02:58,482 restoring a patient to health, relieving suffering. 42 00:02:58,526 --> 00:03:03,052 We've seen tremendous advances over the last three decades. 43 00:03:03,095 --> 00:03:07,883 But there was a remarkable degree of sophistication 44 00:03:07,926 --> 00:03:12,061 and a surprisingly high success rate achieved 45 00:03:12,104 --> 00:03:14,933 by prehistoric surgeons. 46 00:03:14,977 --> 00:03:17,327 Many of the procedures of modern medicine 47 00:03:17,371 --> 00:03:21,592 are derivatives of the ancient operations. 48 00:03:21,636 --> 00:03:24,813 Evidence of advanced medical procedures practiced 49 00:03:24,856 --> 00:03:28,686 in the ancient world has been found everywhere from carvings 50 00:03:28,730 --> 00:03:31,036 on the walls of temples to skeletal 51 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,302 remains all over the world. 52 00:03:35,345 --> 00:03:37,173 But just who were the practitioners 53 00:03:37,217 --> 00:03:40,045 of this extraordinary science? 54 00:03:40,089 --> 00:03:42,570 And where did their knowledge of the human body come from? 55 00:03:46,095 --> 00:03:49,316 Most cultures around the world thought 56 00:03:49,359 --> 00:03:51,796 that if something was physically wrong with you, 57 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,929 it probably also related to something, perhaps, 58 00:03:53,972 --> 00:03:57,280 spiritually wrong with you. 59 00:03:57,324 --> 00:04:01,153 And so we also find that physicians or healers very 60 00:04:01,197 --> 00:04:04,156 often were not just healing the body, in our mundane sense, 61 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,289 but also healing the soul. 62 00:04:06,333 --> 00:04:08,987 And therefore they had to be somewhat of a religious figure 63 00:04:09,031 --> 00:04:10,902 as well. 64 00:04:10,946 --> 00:04:13,557 To be a doctor in the ancient world, 65 00:04:13,601 --> 00:04:15,516 you have some kind of special relationship 66 00:04:15,559 --> 00:04:19,781 with a god who has gifted you with the power to heal. 67 00:04:19,824 --> 00:04:22,827 A doctor was simultaneously a kind of tradesman 68 00:04:22,871 --> 00:04:26,004 and had kind of learned a skill, but also 69 00:04:26,048 --> 00:04:29,312 a sort of cultic figure as well who 70 00:04:29,356 --> 00:04:32,576 had an association with a god and would, therefore, 71 00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:36,145 use magical cures to deal with problems. 72 00:04:36,188 --> 00:04:40,018 Our ancestors said that medicine came from the gods. 73 00:04:40,062 --> 00:04:43,935 Our ancestors have said that the gods really gave manuals 74 00:04:43,979 --> 00:04:47,330 as to how to be living healthy, how to restore health 75 00:04:47,374 --> 00:04:49,680 to the human individual. 76 00:04:49,724 --> 00:04:51,726 They realized something about our physical bodies 77 00:04:51,769 --> 00:04:56,513 which we are only beginning to understand once again. 78 00:04:56,557 --> 00:04:59,516 Could it be that ancient healers were guided 79 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,346 by alien beings? 80 00:05:03,390 --> 00:05:07,089 And if so, are recent advances in modern medicine 81 00:05:07,132 --> 00:05:10,222 actually a rediscovery of methods practiced thousands 82 00:05:10,266 --> 00:05:13,617 of years ago? 83 00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:20,015 Sikora, Egypt. 84 00:05:23,584 --> 00:05:26,717 Here, across from this towering step pyramid, 85 00:05:26,761 --> 00:05:29,938 lies the physician's tomb, also known 86 00:05:29,981 --> 00:05:32,941 as the Tomb of Ankh-ma-hor. 87 00:05:32,984 --> 00:05:37,293 According to archaeologists, it was built more than 4,000 years 88 00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:40,340 ago for one of the most important officials 89 00:05:40,383 --> 00:05:42,733 of the ancient Egyptian civilization. 90 00:05:42,777 --> 00:05:46,563 I'm taking you inside the physician's tomb, where you get 91 00:05:46,607 --> 00:05:50,045 a glimpse of how they performed complex medical and surgical 92 00:05:50,088 --> 00:05:51,351 operations in ancient times. 93 00:05:54,963 --> 00:05:58,009 But what's amazing about this tomb 94 00:05:58,053 --> 00:06:02,840 is that the physician Ankh-ma-hor lived 4,300 years 95 00:06:02,884 --> 00:06:05,930 ago, and he performed very complex 96 00:06:05,974 --> 00:06:08,019 surgical and medical operations. 97 00:06:08,063 --> 00:06:14,504 We can see here a circumcision 2,000 years before the Bible. 98 00:06:14,548 --> 00:06:17,768 And here we see a scene of reflexology. 99 00:06:17,812 --> 00:06:22,773 We can see them muscling and flexing the muscles. 100 00:06:22,817 --> 00:06:26,777 Also here an amazing operation, a surgical operation, 101 00:06:26,821 --> 00:06:30,302 on the hands It is even suggested 102 00:06:30,346 --> 00:06:35,395 that they may have had brain surgery, removing tumors. 103 00:06:35,438 --> 00:06:38,441 But where did they get the knowledge from? 104 00:06:38,485 --> 00:06:44,969 Well, they say that they got it from Thoth, the god of wisdom 105 00:06:45,013 --> 00:06:48,973 and science, who brought to them all the knowledge 106 00:06:49,017 --> 00:06:51,411 from the gods. 107 00:06:51,454 --> 00:06:53,195 Known for his abilities 108 00:06:53,238 --> 00:06:56,503 in science, magic, and medicine, Thoth 109 00:06:56,546 --> 00:07:01,464 was worshipped for centuries as the god of wisdom and healing. 110 00:07:01,508 --> 00:07:04,772 According to ancient myth, this divine physician 111 00:07:04,815 --> 00:07:09,080 healed the eye of the Egyptian God Horus after his Uncle Set 112 00:07:09,124 --> 00:07:13,215 gouged it out in an epic battle for power. 113 00:07:13,258 --> 00:07:17,306 As a result, The Eye of Horus became an important symbol 114 00:07:17,349 --> 00:07:21,789 of restoration and good health. 115 00:07:21,832 --> 00:07:25,749 But was Thoth only a mythical deity, as mainstream scholars 116 00:07:25,793 --> 00:07:28,622 believe? 117 00:07:28,665 --> 00:07:31,363 Or might he have been something or someone 118 00:07:31,407 --> 00:07:33,931 who actually existed? 119 00:07:33,975 --> 00:07:37,805 Ancient Egyptian medicine was anything but primitive. 120 00:07:37,848 --> 00:07:40,982 There are clear examples of energetic medicine 121 00:07:41,025 --> 00:07:45,334 that are beyond our technological capabilities. 122 00:07:45,377 --> 00:07:49,120 It seems as if these technologies were brought in 123 00:07:49,164 --> 00:07:52,472 and were given to them as a complete package 124 00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:57,041 rather than something that developed out of a society 125 00:07:57,085 --> 00:07:59,696 that before then had been extremely primitive. 126 00:07:59,740 --> 00:08:02,438 And the Egyptians themselves said that Thoth 127 00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:05,049 was responsible for this. 128 00:08:05,093 --> 00:08:09,097 But who or what was Thoth? 129 00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:13,971 Might he have been not a divine being but an alien visitor, one 130 00:08:14,015 --> 00:08:18,541 possessing advanced scientific knowledge? 131 00:08:18,585 --> 00:08:21,762 In the Egyptian pantheon of Gods, 132 00:08:21,805 --> 00:08:26,114 Thoth is the one with the head of an ibis 133 00:08:26,157 --> 00:08:29,334 but the body of a human being. 134 00:08:29,378 --> 00:08:32,424 He was the Egyptian father of medicine, 135 00:08:32,468 --> 00:08:35,558 meaning he descended from the sky, 136 00:08:35,602 --> 00:08:40,563 and he gave them that knowledge. 137 00:08:40,607 --> 00:08:43,261 Might Thoth have been not a divine 138 00:08:43,305 --> 00:08:45,612 being, as the Egyptians believed, 139 00:08:45,655 --> 00:08:48,005 but an alien visitor who possessed 140 00:08:48,049 --> 00:08:51,748 advanced scientific knowledge, one from whom 141 00:08:51,792 --> 00:08:56,623 the Egyptians learned their ability to heal? 142 00:08:56,666 --> 00:09:00,975 Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the story of one 143 00:09:01,018 --> 00:09:04,979 of the most advanced surgeons in the history of India. 144 00:09:09,113 --> 00:09:10,854 Varanasi, India. 145 00:09:10,898 --> 00:09:14,728 500 miles southeast of Delhi. 146 00:09:14,771 --> 00:09:17,513 Located on the banks of the Ganges, 147 00:09:17,557 --> 00:09:20,603 Varanasi is one of the oldest cities on earth. 148 00:09:20,647 --> 00:09:22,910 A city that, according to legend, 149 00:09:22,953 --> 00:09:26,957 was founded by the gods. 150 00:09:27,001 --> 00:09:30,004 Long known as a center of knowledge and learning. 151 00:09:30,047 --> 00:09:33,050 Varanasi was once home to an ancient physician 152 00:09:33,094 --> 00:09:37,054 by the name of Sushruta, who many historians credit 153 00:09:37,098 --> 00:09:39,579 with developing the art of surgery. 154 00:09:39,622 --> 00:09:42,712 In ancient India, the early physician 155 00:09:42,756 --> 00:09:45,628 was a guy named Sushruta. 156 00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:48,762 And he was a surgeon and physician 157 00:09:48,805 --> 00:09:52,461 who would do skin grafts, cataract removals, 158 00:09:52,504 --> 00:09:58,119 even early plastic surgery on people. 159 00:09:58,162 --> 00:10:02,732 So once again, we have someone whose medical knowledge seems 160 00:10:02,776 --> 00:10:04,734 so advanced for his time. 161 00:10:08,564 --> 00:10:11,001 Sushruta is also considered 162 00:10:11,045 --> 00:10:14,091 to be the first practitioner of Ayurveda, 163 00:10:14,135 --> 00:10:19,053 one of the oldest known systems of medicine in the world. 164 00:10:19,096 --> 00:10:22,186 According to Hindu legend, Sushruta 165 00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:24,928 is said to have received this knowledge from a god known 166 00:10:24,972 --> 00:10:28,323 as Dhanvantari. 167 00:10:28,366 --> 00:10:32,283 Dhanvantari was a high-level god, as we would know them, 168 00:10:32,327 --> 00:10:36,200 who provided all the information on this complete healing 169 00:10:36,244 --> 00:10:38,855 modality based on an understanding of the physical 170 00:10:38,899 --> 00:10:41,336 and subtle aspects of the body. 171 00:10:41,379 --> 00:10:46,950 And it was passed through to Indian culture in ancient times 172 00:10:46,994 --> 00:10:49,649 and has been preserved and expanded since then. 173 00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:55,350 Though he is most often depicted 174 00:10:55,393 --> 00:10:58,701 as having four arms and holding medicinal herbs, 175 00:10:58,745 --> 00:11:02,749 the god Dhanvantari was also a shapeshifter. 176 00:11:02,792 --> 00:11:06,187 According to legend, during his journeys to earth, 177 00:11:06,230 --> 00:11:11,235 he could take on other forms, including that of a bird. 178 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,847 Is it possible that both Dhanvantari 179 00:11:13,890 --> 00:11:17,981 and the half-man, half-bird Egyptian God of healing, Thoth, 180 00:11:18,025 --> 00:11:20,984 were connected in some way? 181 00:11:21,028 --> 00:11:23,639 And if so, how? 182 00:11:23,683 --> 00:11:26,816 Whether it's Dhanvantari or Thoth, 183 00:11:26,860 --> 00:11:29,384 we learn of these extraterrestrial divinities 184 00:11:29,427 --> 00:11:33,736 very often being portrayed as birdlike beings who delivered 185 00:11:33,780 --> 00:11:36,304 the knowledge of ancient medicine to earth. 186 00:11:36,347 --> 00:11:39,699 This tells us that our original knowledge of medicine, 187 00:11:39,742 --> 00:11:42,353 human anatomy, and how to heal the body 188 00:11:42,397 --> 00:11:46,836 came from extraterrestrial sources. 189 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,403 Sushruta, he 190 00:11:48,446 --> 00:11:51,711 was very clear in stating that he learned this knowledge 191 00:11:51,754 --> 00:11:52,799 from the Gods. 192 00:11:52,842 --> 00:11:53,843 Who were the Gods? 193 00:11:53,887 --> 00:11:56,063 Extraterrestrials. 194 00:11:56,106 --> 00:11:58,805 Every culture will tell you 195 00:11:58,848 --> 00:12:02,852 that the first surgeon, that medicine, that healing 196 00:12:02,896 --> 00:12:05,550 was a gift of the Gods. 197 00:12:05,594 --> 00:12:08,989 That is extraordinarily interesting because it really 198 00:12:09,032 --> 00:12:12,340 shows that the benefit of mankind 199 00:12:12,383 --> 00:12:15,430 was accomplished through the intervention and the knowledge 200 00:12:15,473 --> 00:12:16,083 of the deities. 201 00:12:19,651 --> 00:12:22,785 How is it possible that ancient cultures, 202 00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:26,789 separated by thousands of miles, shared similar stories 203 00:12:26,833 --> 00:12:29,531 about a bird-like creature? 204 00:12:29,574 --> 00:12:33,317 Could it be true, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, 205 00:12:33,361 --> 00:12:36,103 that this extraordinary being was actually 206 00:12:36,146 --> 00:12:38,496 a highly-skilled extraterrestrial 207 00:12:38,540 --> 00:12:41,238 from another world? 208 00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:44,111 And might he have traveled across the globe in an effort 209 00:12:44,154 --> 00:12:48,202 to teach early humans the art of healing? 210 00:12:48,245 --> 00:12:51,771 Perhaps more clues can be found in a collection 211 00:12:51,814 --> 00:12:55,687 of mysterious skulls, discovered in the ruins of yet 212 00:12:55,731 --> 00:12:57,820 another ancient civilization. 213 00:13:07,569 --> 00:13:11,051 Northern Turkey, 2010. 214 00:13:11,094 --> 00:13:13,401 While digging at an archaeological site 215 00:13:13,444 --> 00:13:16,447 in the Samson province, archaeologists 216 00:13:16,491 --> 00:13:20,364 unearth hundreds of skeletal remains and ancient skulls 217 00:13:20,408 --> 00:13:25,152 dating back more than 4,000 years. 218 00:13:25,195 --> 00:13:29,721 Strangely, 14 of the skulls have large holes, 219 00:13:29,765 --> 00:13:33,203 providing what some scholars believe is proof 220 00:13:33,247 --> 00:13:36,685 that ancient man carried out a remarkably sophisticated type 221 00:13:36,728 --> 00:13:40,515 of brain surgery called cranial trepanation. 222 00:13:40,558 --> 00:13:42,473 Trepanation is making an opening 223 00:13:42,517 --> 00:13:44,954 into the skull. 224 00:13:44,998 --> 00:13:48,479 We do it on a routine basis in today's neurosurgery 225 00:13:48,523 --> 00:13:50,960 to get exposure of the brain to remove a tumor 226 00:13:51,004 --> 00:13:54,572 or remove a blood clot, but it was done in ancient times 227 00:13:54,616 --> 00:13:58,533 probably to repair traumatic brain injuries from accidents 228 00:13:58,576 --> 00:14:01,275 and war injuries. 229 00:14:01,318 --> 00:14:05,366 Ancient cultures did this all over the world in Peru, 230 00:14:05,409 --> 00:14:07,977 in Europe, in Asia, and Africa. 231 00:14:08,021 --> 00:14:12,025 They were literally cutting holes in people's heads, 232 00:14:12,068 --> 00:14:15,550 successfully opening up their skulls, 233 00:14:15,593 --> 00:14:20,685 removing skull material, and then covering it up again. 234 00:14:20,729 --> 00:14:25,734 And the patients were surviving this and living long lives. 235 00:14:28,911 --> 00:14:31,827 Even with the delicate and highly sophisticated 236 00:14:31,871 --> 00:14:36,136 tools in use today, neurosurgery is a complicated and risky 237 00:14:36,179 --> 00:14:37,789 procedure. 238 00:14:37,833 --> 00:14:41,924 One involving the body's most complex organ the human brain. 239 00:14:41,968 --> 00:14:44,927 Today's neurosurgery provides us 240 00:14:44,971 --> 00:14:47,974 with some remarkable new digital tools. 241 00:14:48,017 --> 00:14:51,281 We have what is equivalent now of a GPS system that 242 00:14:51,325 --> 00:14:54,981 allows us to navigate around the intracranial space. 243 00:14:58,332 --> 00:15:01,596 We also are able to use preoperative imaging now 244 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:06,079 to create an individual map of the brain and the brain 245 00:15:06,122 --> 00:15:07,471 function. 246 00:15:07,515 --> 00:15:11,127 Those maps are critical to do modern neurosurgery. 247 00:15:11,171 --> 00:15:14,043 But how could an ancient civilization 248 00:15:14,087 --> 00:15:17,046 have learned such highly advanced methods for operating 249 00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:19,744 on a human brain hundreds of years 250 00:15:19,788 --> 00:15:22,660 before such procedures were even attempted 251 00:15:22,704 --> 00:15:26,273 in other parts of the world? 252 00:15:26,316 --> 00:15:29,711 Perhaps the answers can be found by looking at a collection 253 00:15:29,754 --> 00:15:33,323 of human skulls discovered a century ago 254 00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:35,978 near the Peruvian Andes. 255 00:15:39,416 --> 00:15:42,724 Here, at the San Diego Museum of Man, 256 00:15:42,767 --> 00:15:47,511 is an extensive display of pre-Columbian antiquities, 257 00:15:47,555 --> 00:15:50,688 including one of the largest collections of skulls 258 00:15:50,732 --> 00:15:51,080 in the world. 259 00:15:54,475 --> 00:15:58,000 Dr. Tori Randall, a chief paleoanthropologist, 260 00:15:58,044 --> 00:16:00,524 has spent years studying the ancient practice 261 00:16:00,568 --> 00:16:01,961 of trepanation. 262 00:16:02,004 --> 00:16:04,615 These skulls are about 1,000 years old. 263 00:16:04,659 --> 00:16:08,750 They're Incan skulls, and they're special because they 264 00:16:08,793 --> 00:16:11,318 have trepanations. 265 00:16:11,361 --> 00:16:13,624 And you can see from the hole right here 266 00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:17,802 in the head they've had skull surgery performed on them. 267 00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:20,022 It seems likely that a lot of these trepanations 268 00:16:20,066 --> 00:16:22,894 were happening based on warfare or healing 269 00:16:22,938 --> 00:16:24,592 some type of traumatic injury. 270 00:16:24,635 --> 00:16:28,770 They seem to have performed the actual trepanations in parts 271 00:16:28,813 --> 00:16:31,773 of the skull where there wasn't a lot of cranial musculature, 272 00:16:31,816 --> 00:16:35,037 which would have made it more difficult. 273 00:16:35,081 --> 00:16:39,781 One thing that they used were tumies, which are usually 274 00:16:39,824 --> 00:16:42,392 made out of bronze or copper. 275 00:16:42,436 --> 00:16:45,439 And they are this little, curved, linear knife. 276 00:16:48,529 --> 00:16:52,620 This is definitely a very well-planned out practice, 277 00:16:52,663 --> 00:16:55,797 very successful, and it happened well before the advent 278 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,581 of modern medicine. 279 00:16:57,625 --> 00:17:00,149 And the fact that so many individuals survived 280 00:17:00,193 --> 00:17:03,239 meant that they were very good at it. 281 00:17:03,283 --> 00:17:06,590 It's remarkable that we see evidence of healing, 282 00:17:06,634 --> 00:17:09,463 and recovery, and survival. 283 00:17:09,506 --> 00:17:12,857 In so many of the archaeological specimens, 284 00:17:12,901 --> 00:17:15,860 the skulls show signs of bone healing. 285 00:17:15,904 --> 00:17:20,561 They must have had a good sense of meticulous technique, 286 00:17:20,604 --> 00:17:24,652 but it had to be a rough ordeal for the individual patient. 287 00:17:28,917 --> 00:17:31,702 According to Dr. Randall's findings, 288 00:17:31,746 --> 00:17:34,140 the Incan surgeons were also skilled 289 00:17:34,183 --> 00:17:36,403 at avoiding parts of the brain that 290 00:17:36,446 --> 00:17:39,275 would have damaged important nerves and affected motor 291 00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:41,756 skills. 292 00:17:41,799 --> 00:17:44,498 What this means is that our ancient ancestors had 293 00:17:44,541 --> 00:17:47,414 extraordinary information about the brain. 294 00:17:47,457 --> 00:17:49,198 It means that they had detailed knowledge 295 00:17:49,242 --> 00:17:52,462 about human anatomy way beyond what we normally attribute 296 00:17:52,506 --> 00:17:54,290 to them. 297 00:17:54,334 --> 00:17:56,423 It involves an extraordinary amount 298 00:17:56,466 --> 00:17:59,948 of scientific information. 299 00:17:59,991 --> 00:18:04,866 All over the world we seek skulls with curious small holes 300 00:18:04,909 --> 00:18:06,737 drilled in. 301 00:18:06,781 --> 00:18:10,741 In these ancient cultures, the practice of trepanation 302 00:18:10,785 --> 00:18:15,616 was often said to have been given to them by the Gods. 303 00:18:15,659 --> 00:18:19,228 So it's possible that extraterrestrial technology 304 00:18:19,272 --> 00:18:22,884 had the ability to see into the brain. 305 00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:29,151 Could the ancient Incan knowledge 306 00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:31,458 of brain surgery have really come 307 00:18:31,501 --> 00:18:34,635 from an extraterrestrial source? 308 00:18:34,678 --> 00:18:38,117 And if so, might ancient alien visitors have passed 309 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,598 on any other medical knowledge? 310 00:18:41,642 --> 00:18:44,601 Ancient astronaut theorists believe further evidence can 311 00:18:44,645 --> 00:18:48,562 be found just a few miles from where the trepanned Incan 312 00:18:48,605 --> 00:18:50,433 skulls were found. 313 00:18:55,482 --> 00:18:58,659 80 miles Northwest of the famous Nazca Lines 314 00:18:58,702 --> 00:19:00,617 lies the small city of Ica, Peru. 315 00:19:04,099 --> 00:19:09,452 In 1966, a local physician named Javier Cabrera acquired 316 00:19:09,496 --> 00:19:13,282 several andesite stones unearthed in the desert here, 317 00:19:13,326 --> 00:19:16,198 stones etched with mysterious depictions 318 00:19:16,242 --> 00:19:19,593 of ancient pre-Columbian people. 319 00:19:19,636 --> 00:19:23,205 The Ica stones really give a different perspective 320 00:19:23,249 --> 00:19:26,904 on what the locals believed history was all about. 321 00:19:26,948 --> 00:19:30,604 And the Ica stones, what it really spell out or indicate, 322 00:19:30,647 --> 00:19:35,739 at least, is that history is not the way we know it. 323 00:19:35,783 --> 00:19:41,615 Each of these stones is inscribed with unusual scenes. 324 00:19:41,658 --> 00:19:44,661 People interacting with what seems 325 00:19:44,705 --> 00:19:46,707 to be prehistoric animals. 326 00:19:46,750 --> 00:19:49,797 People looking through telescopes. 327 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,714 Some of the Ica stones seem to be strange maps of the world 328 00:19:53,757 --> 00:19:55,585 before ours. 329 00:19:55,629 --> 00:19:59,154 And one of the things that the Ica stones depicts 330 00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:01,374 is ancient surgeries. 331 00:20:04,812 --> 00:20:08,119 Also carved on dozens of these stones 332 00:20:08,163 --> 00:20:12,733 are images of brain surgeries, cesarean sections, and even 333 00:20:12,776 --> 00:20:16,519 tracheotomies. 334 00:20:16,563 --> 00:20:20,697 But one stone is among the most mysterious. 335 00:20:20,741 --> 00:20:23,613 It is thought to depict two surgeons with a heart 336 00:20:23,657 --> 00:20:26,964 between them as they appear to be reconnecting the blood 337 00:20:27,008 --> 00:20:28,575 vessels. 338 00:20:28,618 --> 00:20:31,534 Could this really be evidence that ancient man 339 00:20:31,578 --> 00:20:36,104 was capable of transplanting a human heart? 340 00:20:36,147 --> 00:20:40,456 The Ica stones are one of the very few examples 341 00:20:40,500 --> 00:20:42,545 of our ancients actually performing surgery. 342 00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:48,377 It seems impossible that ancient people 343 00:20:48,421 --> 00:20:51,424 were doing anything like this. 344 00:20:51,467 --> 00:20:56,124 And therefore, it would seem to be that this is knowledge 345 00:20:56,167 --> 00:20:58,822 and medical knowledge that's coming 346 00:20:58,866 --> 00:21:06,265 from some advanced civilization of extraterrestrials. 347 00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:09,442 Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists 348 00:21:09,485 --> 00:21:14,055 suggest, that extraterrestrial beings taught mankind advanced 349 00:21:14,098 --> 00:21:17,363 medical procedures, like cranial trepanation and heart 350 00:21:17,406 --> 00:21:21,062 transplants, in the distant past? 351 00:21:21,105 --> 00:21:23,934 And if so, might these alien beings 352 00:21:23,978 --> 00:21:27,634 have shared other, perhaps, even more profound secrets 353 00:21:27,677 --> 00:21:30,245 and techniques of healing? 354 00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:32,900 Some researchers believe further evidence 355 00:21:32,943 --> 00:21:36,251 can be found in the legends and mythologies 356 00:21:36,295 --> 00:21:40,821 of the ancient Irish people and a God they knew as Dian Cecht. 357 00:21:48,307 --> 00:21:52,746 Chicago, Illinois, 2006. 358 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:57,359 Scientists pioneer a stunning bio-mechanical advancement... 359 00:21:57,403 --> 00:21:59,535 A thought-controlled robotic arm. 360 00:22:02,495 --> 00:22:04,584 Outfitted with electrodes that connect 361 00:22:04,627 --> 00:22:07,413 to the nerves of the wearer, the prosthetic 362 00:22:07,456 --> 00:22:10,851 works just like an actual arm and hand, 363 00:22:10,894 --> 00:22:14,202 receiving signals from the brain and giving the user 364 00:22:14,245 --> 00:22:15,638 a functioning new limb. 365 00:22:19,686 --> 00:22:23,559 But as scientifically sophisticated as this is, 366 00:22:23,603 --> 00:22:26,954 ancient astronaut theorists point to a remarkably similar 367 00:22:26,997 --> 00:22:32,220 account in an ancient story from the British Isles. 368 00:22:32,263 --> 00:22:38,052 Irish myth has a story about a divine physician called Dian. 369 00:22:38,095 --> 00:22:39,793 Cecht. 370 00:22:39,836 --> 00:22:44,406 He has herbs to heal every affliction of the human body 371 00:22:44,450 --> 00:22:46,539 and soul. 372 00:22:46,582 --> 00:22:48,845 And the people, whether they're wounded in battle 373 00:22:48,889 --> 00:22:51,413 or they're afflicted in childbirth, or miscarriage, 374 00:22:51,457 --> 00:22:53,807 or headaches, or whatever the malady is, 375 00:22:53,850 --> 00:22:58,028 they will go to Dian Cecht for healing. 376 00:22:58,072 --> 00:23:01,162 Dian Cecht is known as the physician 377 00:23:01,205 --> 00:23:03,991 of the Gods, or he was the celebrated physician 378 00:23:04,034 --> 00:23:06,036 of the Tuatha de Danann, which was 379 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:12,173 sort of a semi-divine early group of people in Irish lore. 380 00:23:12,216 --> 00:23:14,741 According to Celtic tradition, 381 00:23:14,784 --> 00:23:18,658 the Tuatha de Danann were a race of supernatural beings 382 00:23:18,701 --> 00:23:23,750 that came to Ireland riding on dark clouds. 383 00:23:23,793 --> 00:23:28,232 Dian Cecht was one of these otherworldly beings 384 00:23:28,276 --> 00:23:30,887 and a physician who sometimes used his knowledge 385 00:23:30,931 --> 00:23:31,540 to treat humans. 386 00:23:34,978 --> 00:23:37,894 In the most famous account of his medical feats, 387 00:23:37,938 --> 00:23:41,768 the Irish God heals a King named Nuada 388 00:23:41,811 --> 00:23:45,859 who becomes injured in battle. 389 00:23:45,902 --> 00:23:49,993 During a heated battle, Nuada lost his arm. 390 00:23:50,037 --> 00:23:52,387 Because of this he could no longer be king. 391 00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:54,476 Kings were supposed to be physically pure, 392 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,870 according to the ideas of this time, 393 00:23:56,913 --> 00:23:59,176 so he had to surrender his kingship for a while. 394 00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:01,440 And during this time period, Dian Cecht 395 00:24:01,483 --> 00:24:03,180 was the one who actually fashioned 396 00:24:03,224 --> 00:24:06,401 him an arm out of silver. 397 00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:08,490 So he became known as Nuada of the silver hand 398 00:24:08,534 --> 00:24:10,361 or Nuada of the silver arm. 399 00:24:10,405 --> 00:24:15,018 The story of Dian Cecht giving King Nuada an arm that was made 400 00:24:15,062 --> 00:24:18,413 out of silver really sounds like a modern science fiction story. 401 00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:19,588 It almost sounds like prosthetics. 402 00:24:23,331 --> 00:24:27,117 Is the story of Dion Cecht a myth, as mainstream 403 00:24:27,161 --> 00:24:29,729 historians believe? 404 00:24:29,772 --> 00:24:33,472 Or might King Nuada's silver arm have actually 405 00:24:33,515 --> 00:24:37,171 been an advanced bionic machine, just 406 00:24:37,214 --> 00:24:40,435 like the ones being developed today? 407 00:24:40,479 --> 00:24:44,613 If so, is it possible that the Celtic God Dion Cecht 408 00:24:44,657 --> 00:24:50,010 was in fact an extra terrestrial being? 409 00:24:50,053 --> 00:24:51,968 According to this legend, 410 00:24:52,012 --> 00:24:57,974 Dion Cecht replaced King Nuada's arm with a silver arm that 411 00:24:58,018 --> 00:25:00,760 was fully functional. 412 00:25:00,803 --> 00:25:03,023 So is it possible that what we have here is 413 00:25:03,066 --> 00:25:07,418 an account of some type of prosthetics that existed 414 00:25:07,462 --> 00:25:11,031 already way back in the past? 415 00:25:11,074 --> 00:25:15,209 It would seem that these legends are talking about what 416 00:25:15,252 --> 00:25:20,431 are really pretty high tech medical devices and knowledge. 417 00:25:20,475 --> 00:25:23,391 The kind of medical knowledge that we have today and has 418 00:25:23,434 --> 00:25:28,222 taken hundreds of years of expensive research to find. 419 00:25:28,265 --> 00:25:32,574 So it would seem that they had these devices in ancient times, 420 00:25:32,618 --> 00:25:35,490 too, but where would they have gotten them? 421 00:25:35,534 --> 00:25:39,755 It would seem to have been from extraterrestrials. 422 00:25:39,799 --> 00:25:43,193 If the stories of Dion Cecht are true, 423 00:25:43,237 --> 00:25:45,587 might similar myths from other cultures 424 00:25:45,631 --> 00:25:49,548 also be based on historical fact? 425 00:25:49,591 --> 00:25:52,594 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 426 00:25:52,638 --> 00:25:56,250 and point to the stories of an ancient Greek God who wielded 427 00:25:56,293 --> 00:26:02,778 the incredible power of bringing the dead back to life. 428 00:26:02,822 --> 00:26:05,607 Epidaurus, Greece. 429 00:26:05,651 --> 00:26:09,393 In a small valley, 30 miles southwest of Athens, 430 00:26:09,437 --> 00:26:13,441 lie the 2,400-year-old ruins of the most celebrated healing 431 00:26:13,484 --> 00:26:15,878 center of the ancient world... 432 00:26:15,922 --> 00:26:20,230 The Asclepeion, or Temple of Asclepius. 433 00:26:20,274 --> 00:26:23,407 RICHARD RADER Asclepius was the child of the God Apollo, 434 00:26:23,451 --> 00:26:25,845 one of the principal divinities associated with magic 435 00:26:25,888 --> 00:26:27,411 and healing. 436 00:26:27,455 --> 00:26:29,936 Now, Asclepius, because he is the child of Apollo, 437 00:26:29,979 --> 00:26:34,375 would necessarily develop this skill as well. 438 00:26:34,418 --> 00:26:38,727 He becomes almost entirely associated with healing. 439 00:26:38,771 --> 00:26:41,382 Asclepius is the Greek name 440 00:26:41,425 --> 00:26:43,645 for the divine physician. 441 00:26:43,689 --> 00:26:46,996 Classical Greece did have healing temples in which people 442 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,696 could go and have either daytime healing experiences 443 00:26:50,739 --> 00:26:54,134 or what they would call healings during sleeping and dreaming, 444 00:26:54,177 --> 00:26:55,744 in which it was believed they would 445 00:26:55,788 --> 00:26:58,442 have an audience with Asclepius and receive 446 00:26:58,486 --> 00:27:00,619 some kind of diagnosis and prescription 447 00:27:00,662 --> 00:27:03,578 that they could apply in the daytime. 448 00:27:03,622 --> 00:27:05,188 There's a very famous 449 00:27:05,232 --> 00:27:07,713 and a very interesting practice called incubation, which 450 00:27:07,756 --> 00:27:11,499 is people would go sleep in a temple of Asclepius, 451 00:27:11,542 --> 00:27:14,763 and Asclepius would visit them in a dream 452 00:27:14,807 --> 00:27:18,462 and tell them what the remedy was to whatever sickness 453 00:27:18,506 --> 00:27:20,943 or ailment they were suffering. 454 00:27:20,987 --> 00:27:23,511 According to Greek mythology, 455 00:27:23,554 --> 00:27:28,124 Asclepius carried a serpent entwined staff, the inspiration 456 00:27:28,168 --> 00:27:32,476 for the medical symbol still in use today. 457 00:27:35,088 --> 00:27:37,568 But perhaps the most mysterious legend 458 00:27:37,612 --> 00:27:40,484 associated with the Greek God of medicine 459 00:27:40,528 --> 00:27:45,228 was his reported ability to provide the ultimate cure... 460 00:27:45,272 --> 00:27:48,536 The power to restore life. 461 00:27:48,579 --> 00:27:51,495 His healing arts are so powerful that he can 462 00:27:51,539 --> 00:27:55,108 wake people from the dead, which is the line that can never 463 00:27:55,151 --> 00:27:57,240 be crossed, of course. 464 00:27:57,284 --> 00:27:59,329 He got into a bit of trouble. 465 00:27:59,373 --> 00:28:02,158 He was using his power that he had gotten from his father, 466 00:28:02,202 --> 00:28:09,296 Apollo, to raise the dead, which obviously poses a problem. 467 00:28:09,339 --> 00:28:11,951 Zeus didn't like it because people that he had killed, 468 00:28:11,994 --> 00:28:15,955 Asclepius was raising from the dead. 469 00:28:15,998 --> 00:28:17,652 What this story is telling 470 00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:19,872 us is that the story of Asclepius 471 00:28:19,915 --> 00:28:23,571 is the story of some extraordinarily powerful 472 00:28:23,614 --> 00:28:28,619 technology, knowledge, or application of whatever it was, 473 00:28:28,663 --> 00:28:33,189 whereby physical death is not the end of it. 474 00:28:33,233 --> 00:28:36,758 Asclepius is on record of raising people 475 00:28:36,802 --> 00:28:38,499 from the dead. 476 00:28:38,542 --> 00:28:40,675 This is not anything within the purview 477 00:28:40,719 --> 00:28:44,287 of conventional medical technology. 478 00:28:44,331 --> 00:28:49,379 We're talking about no pulse, no respiration, and perhaps even 479 00:28:49,423 --> 00:28:51,381 brain dead as well. 480 00:28:51,425 --> 00:28:53,862 Asclepius may have been operating off 481 00:28:53,906 --> 00:28:57,170 of an extraterrestrial derived body of knowledge 482 00:28:57,213 --> 00:29:00,739 and possibly technology that made it possible for him 483 00:29:00,782 --> 00:29:04,655 to achieve these seemingly supernatural feats in which 484 00:29:04,699 --> 00:29:06,875 a dead body is brought back to life. 485 00:29:10,183 --> 00:29:13,273 If Asclepius was a flesh and blood 486 00:29:13,316 --> 00:29:16,450 extraterrestrial being, as ancient astronaut theorists 487 00:29:16,493 --> 00:29:19,540 suggest, then might he have had some sort 488 00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:21,847 of advanced scientific technology 489 00:29:21,890 --> 00:29:24,980 that allowed him to raise the dead? 490 00:29:25,024 --> 00:29:29,463 If so, what happened to this incredible knowledge? 491 00:29:29,506 --> 00:29:34,120 Why has the secret of life and death been lost to mankind? 492 00:29:34,163 --> 00:29:38,428 Perhaps the answer can be found by examining the story of one 493 00:29:38,472 --> 00:29:40,735 of the bloodiest eras in recorded history. 494 00:29:49,309 --> 00:29:54,183 France, in the year 1233 AD. 495 00:29:54,227 --> 00:29:59,101 Pope Gregory IX establishes the Inquisition... 496 00:29:59,145 --> 00:30:02,539 A group of institutions within the Roman Catholic Church 497 00:30:02,583 --> 00:30:08,110 charged with investigating and prosecuting heresy. 498 00:30:08,154 --> 00:30:11,244 During the next 500 years, the Inquisition 499 00:30:11,287 --> 00:30:13,855 spreads throughout Western Europe. 500 00:30:13,899 --> 00:30:16,597 Those suspected of sorcery or witchcraft 501 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,689 are interrogated, tortured, and executed, most 502 00:30:21,732 --> 00:30:25,127 by being burned at the stake. 503 00:30:25,171 --> 00:30:28,478 And included as targets of this brutal and bloody purge 504 00:30:28,522 --> 00:30:32,004 are scientists, healers, and other practitioners 505 00:30:32,047 --> 00:30:35,703 of the so-called black arts. 506 00:30:35,746 --> 00:30:40,229 There was a time in the Church when any type of progress 507 00:30:40,273 --> 00:30:45,321 was considered to be the work of the devil. 508 00:30:45,365 --> 00:30:49,325 And so things were done in the name of God 509 00:30:49,369 --> 00:30:52,676 in order to suppress new knowledge. 510 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,375 Science was always something that 511 00:30:55,418 --> 00:31:00,162 was held back by the Church, out of fear of changing the status 512 00:31:00,206 --> 00:31:01,729 quo. 513 00:31:01,772 --> 00:31:03,992 Historically the Catholic Church has always 514 00:31:04,036 --> 00:31:06,865 been threatened by knowledge, especially 515 00:31:06,908 --> 00:31:09,258 about healing and medicine. 516 00:31:09,302 --> 00:31:12,218 One example is the invention of eyeglasses. 517 00:31:12,261 --> 00:31:14,916 The Catholic Church went ballistic with the invention 518 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,092 of eyeglasses because with it came 519 00:31:17,136 --> 00:31:21,705 an idea, the idea that the human body is improvable. 520 00:31:21,749 --> 00:31:24,491 During the inquisitions, the Catholic Church took 521 00:31:24,534 --> 00:31:28,712 a full-steam charge on squashing out a lot of these pagan ideas 522 00:31:28,756 --> 00:31:31,411 that were medical science to them at the time, 523 00:31:31,454 --> 00:31:34,805 revolutionary, but did not jive well with the Church. 524 00:31:34,849 --> 00:31:37,852 One reason the Church launched the Inquisition 525 00:31:37,896 --> 00:31:40,942 was to eliminate the average person's connection 526 00:31:40,986 --> 00:31:44,467 with this ancient indigenous knowledge that put power 527 00:31:44,511 --> 00:31:47,427 in the hands of the individual and took the power out 528 00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:49,472 of the hands of the Church. 529 00:31:49,516 --> 00:31:53,694 Long before Christianity you had healings, absolutely 530 00:31:53,737 --> 00:31:55,478 supernaturally healings. 531 00:31:55,522 --> 00:31:57,306 So people are afraid of it. 532 00:31:57,350 --> 00:32:00,222 The religious side especially afraid. 533 00:32:04,618 --> 00:32:06,446 Was the Catholic Church's attack 534 00:32:06,489 --> 00:32:09,536 on scientific knowledge a deliberate attempt 535 00:32:09,579 --> 00:32:14,410 to erase any connection between mankind and its relationship 536 00:32:14,454 --> 00:32:19,328 to otherworldly visitors, visitors whose very existence 537 00:32:19,372 --> 00:32:22,244 would undermine the Church's strongly held teaching 538 00:32:22,288 --> 00:32:24,638 that life on earth was the only life that 539 00:32:24,681 --> 00:32:28,424 existed in the universe? 540 00:32:28,468 --> 00:32:31,775 Did the Inquisition succeed in destroying centuries 541 00:32:31,819 --> 00:32:36,171 of advanced scientific and medical knowledge, knowledge 542 00:32:36,215 --> 00:32:37,825 we are only now starting to retrieve? 543 00:32:41,133 --> 00:32:43,570 Perhaps another clue can be found 544 00:32:43,613 --> 00:32:47,313 by studying a medical procedure that actually survived 545 00:32:47,356 --> 00:32:50,794 the Inquisition, one that has been practiced for thousands 546 00:32:50,838 --> 00:32:51,447 of years. 547 00:33:00,021 --> 00:33:06,897 The Italian Alps, September 19, 1991. 548 00:33:06,941 --> 00:33:09,813 Here, high on a snow laden mountainside 549 00:33:09,857 --> 00:33:12,381 near the Austrian border, two hikers 550 00:33:12,425 --> 00:33:14,209 discover the mummified corpse of a man. 551 00:33:17,908 --> 00:33:21,564 Frozen in place for an estimated 5,000 years, 552 00:33:21,608 --> 00:33:26,482 the body, later nicknamed Otzi, is carefully examined and so 553 00:33:26,526 --> 00:33:30,138 well-preserved that scientists are able to determine 554 00:33:30,182 --> 00:33:37,189 his age, how he died, and even the contents of his final meal. 555 00:33:37,232 --> 00:33:40,366 But perhaps the most incredible discovery of all 556 00:33:40,409 --> 00:33:43,891 were the markings found along Otzi's legs and back... 557 00:33:43,934 --> 00:33:47,721 50 geometric designs that correspond to those 558 00:33:47,764 --> 00:33:52,726 found in the science of acupuncture. 559 00:33:52,769 --> 00:33:58,036 Acupuncture is a long and well-tested modality that moves 560 00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:01,430 energy through a kind of subway system in the body. 561 00:34:01,474 --> 00:34:05,260 They're known as meridians with about 1,000 treatment points. 562 00:34:05,304 --> 00:34:07,523 All the treatment points have names, and many of them 563 00:34:07,567 --> 00:34:12,093 have references to stars and very interesting things that 564 00:34:12,137 --> 00:34:13,660 don't seem to correlate with the body. 565 00:34:16,097 --> 00:34:19,492 A medical therapy that targets an energy field 566 00:34:19,535 --> 00:34:22,843 that practitioners believe flows through the human body. 567 00:34:22,886 --> 00:34:25,411 Acupuncture was originally believed 568 00:34:25,454 --> 00:34:31,069 to have been developed in China approximately 3,000 years ago. 569 00:34:31,112 --> 00:34:33,810 The tattoos found on the skin of this Bronze Age 570 00:34:33,854 --> 00:34:37,379 mummy suggest that acupuncture was not only 571 00:34:37,423 --> 00:34:41,122 practiced in Europe but practiced centuries earlier 572 00:34:41,166 --> 00:34:43,907 than most archeologists and historians had believed 573 00:34:43,951 --> 00:34:45,518 possible. 574 00:34:45,561 --> 00:34:48,912 But how? 575 00:34:48,956 --> 00:34:51,785 Perhaps the answer can be found by examining 576 00:34:51,828 --> 00:34:56,224 the ancient Chinese medical book called "The Huangdi Neijing," 577 00:34:56,268 --> 00:34:59,488 the oldest text known to give a detailed description 578 00:34:59,532 --> 00:35:01,142 of acupuncture. 579 00:35:01,186 --> 00:35:04,667 First, the medical book, as old as 2,500 years 580 00:35:04,711 --> 00:35:08,018 ago, is called "Huangdi Neijing Yellow Empress Classic. 581 00:35:08,062 --> 00:35:09,150 Medicine." 582 00:35:09,194 --> 00:35:12,240 In this book, this whole system is 583 00:35:12,284 --> 00:35:15,417 to talk about all the channels, meridians, and the treatment 584 00:35:15,461 --> 00:35:17,202 mythology and strategies. 585 00:35:20,509 --> 00:35:23,164 According to Chinese mythology, 586 00:35:23,208 --> 00:35:25,775 one of the first practitioners of acupuncture 587 00:35:25,819 --> 00:35:29,649 was a physician named Bian Que, often depicted 588 00:35:29,692 --> 00:35:32,434 as a human-headed bird. 589 00:35:32,478 --> 00:35:36,003 Bian Que is a legendary example 590 00:35:36,046 --> 00:35:39,093 of a healer who used supernatural means in order 591 00:35:39,137 --> 00:35:42,009 to accomplish his treatments. 592 00:35:42,052 --> 00:35:46,579 Bian Que apparently could consume some herb, 593 00:35:46,622 --> 00:35:50,409 and once he ingested this substance, whatever it was, 594 00:35:50,452 --> 00:35:52,672 he could apparently see through walls 595 00:35:52,715 --> 00:35:56,066 and see directly into the human body, much like a CAT 596 00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:58,417 scan or an MRI. 597 00:35:58,460 --> 00:36:04,205 And he was accredited with doing a double heart transplant 598 00:36:04,249 --> 00:36:07,774 on an emperor and another person, 599 00:36:07,817 --> 00:36:11,256 where he switched their hearts. 600 00:36:11,299 --> 00:36:13,214 So you have to wonder, now, where 601 00:36:13,258 --> 00:36:15,869 did they even get this idea? 602 00:36:15,912 --> 00:36:18,698 Bian Que is another of those extraordinary beings who's 603 00:36:18,741 --> 00:36:21,614 described as half human and half bird. 604 00:36:21,657 --> 00:36:24,660 This puts him in the league with such figures as Thoth 605 00:36:24,704 --> 00:36:28,751 and other divine beings, who are also half human and half bird, 606 00:36:28,795 --> 00:36:32,364 and who delivered to humanity amazing knowledge, especially 607 00:36:32,407 --> 00:36:35,193 about medicine and human transformation. 608 00:36:38,935 --> 00:36:41,242 Could it be mere coincidence 609 00:36:41,286 --> 00:36:45,246 that the half-human, half-bird Chinese healer known as Bian. 610 00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:50,077 Que closely resembles both the ancient Egyptian deity Thoth 611 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,690 and the Indian God Dhanvantari? 612 00:36:54,734 --> 00:36:58,607 Or is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists claim, 613 00:36:58,651 --> 00:37:01,784 that these ancient so-called Gods were actually 614 00:37:01,828 --> 00:37:06,224 extraterrestrial beings, beings in possession of highly 615 00:37:06,267 --> 00:37:09,705 advanced medical knowledge? 616 00:37:09,749 --> 00:37:13,579 I think acupuncture is one of these sciences which 617 00:37:13,622 --> 00:37:18,540 came from the Gods and was given to our ancestors. 618 00:37:18,584 --> 00:37:20,673 And so even though we might think that acupuncture 619 00:37:20,716 --> 00:37:24,590 is specifically linked to a specific culture right now, 620 00:37:24,633 --> 00:37:27,375 I think in the past this was actually information which 621 00:37:27,419 --> 00:37:30,291 existed throughout mankind. 622 00:37:30,335 --> 00:37:32,772 Medicine always 623 00:37:32,815 --> 00:37:37,559 came from a, quote unquote, "divine origin," meaning 624 00:37:37,603 --> 00:37:41,389 that some type of a deity descended from the sky 625 00:37:41,433 --> 00:37:44,827 and gave this knowledge of healing people 626 00:37:44,871 --> 00:37:47,656 to those particular cultures. 627 00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:50,964 And now, why would all cultures all around the world 628 00:37:51,007 --> 00:37:54,315 speak of the exact same thing that this knowledge was 629 00:37:54,359 --> 00:37:56,970 imparted to them by people descending from the sky? 630 00:38:02,105 --> 00:38:05,761 Are ancient astronaut theorists correct? 631 00:38:05,805 --> 00:38:09,461 Did extraterrestrial beings really give early man 632 00:38:09,504 --> 00:38:11,506 highly advanced medical knowledge 633 00:38:11,550 --> 00:38:15,118 about how to heal the human body, knowledge, 634 00:38:15,162 --> 00:38:17,382 that with the exception of acupuncture, 635 00:38:17,425 --> 00:38:21,037 has been lost through the centuries? 636 00:38:21,081 --> 00:38:25,041 Perhaps proof can be found, not in the carvings on the wall 637 00:38:25,085 --> 00:38:29,132 of a tomb or in the words of an ancient document, 638 00:38:29,176 --> 00:38:31,874 but the most unlikely of places... 639 00:38:31,918 --> 00:38:34,050 The cells of the human body. 640 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,540 In 2003, US government researchers 641 00:38:45,584 --> 00:38:48,108 announced they had completed one of the most 642 00:38:48,151 --> 00:38:51,416 monumental and scientifically significant projects 643 00:38:51,459 --> 00:38:54,375 in human history. 644 00:38:54,419 --> 00:38:58,553 After 13 years of work, they had identified and mapped 645 00:38:58,597 --> 00:39:03,079 the over 20,000 genes in the human genome, 646 00:39:03,123 --> 00:39:06,431 giving scientists new insight into the genetic makeup 647 00:39:06,474 --> 00:39:08,650 of the human species. 648 00:39:08,694 --> 00:39:11,914 What we don't know about humans in terms 649 00:39:11,958 --> 00:39:14,177 of evolutionary genetics is sort of 650 00:39:14,221 --> 00:39:17,877 based on what we don't know about genetics nowadays. 651 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,228 For example, we do not know the genetic basis of the thought 652 00:39:21,271 --> 00:39:22,229 process. 653 00:39:22,272 --> 00:39:24,187 We don't know memory. 654 00:39:24,231 --> 00:39:29,976 We cannot create any ideas of how changes occurred to evolve 655 00:39:30,019 --> 00:39:32,761 the human brain to the functional being that it is 656 00:39:32,805 --> 00:39:33,414 right now. 657 00:39:36,461 --> 00:39:38,724 Could this incredible map eventually 658 00:39:38,767 --> 00:39:42,989 solve the great mystery of human evolution? 659 00:39:43,032 --> 00:39:46,906 Might it help explain why humans, unlike any other living 660 00:39:46,949 --> 00:39:56,829 species, can think, reason, and have the power of speech? 661 00:39:56,872 --> 00:40:02,095 Or why they can create art, music, 662 00:40:02,138 --> 00:40:07,448 and spend time contemplating the reason for their own existence? 663 00:40:07,492 --> 00:40:11,234 It's not until about 40,000 years 664 00:40:11,278 --> 00:40:17,632 ago that you get a very radical change in human behavior. 665 00:40:17,676 --> 00:40:21,984 Our hunting strategies get better, our tools 666 00:40:22,028 --> 00:40:24,987 and our weapons get better. 667 00:40:25,031 --> 00:40:29,557 It's as though some untapped faculty of the human brain and 668 00:40:29,601 --> 00:40:33,909 of the human imagination switched on. 669 00:40:33,953 --> 00:40:36,869 Is it possible that the reason humans suddenly 670 00:40:36,912 --> 00:40:40,612 evolved from primitive beasts to sentient humans 671 00:40:40,655 --> 00:40:45,312 is due to otherworldly intervention? 672 00:40:45,355 --> 00:40:47,706 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 673 00:40:47,749 --> 00:40:50,839 the answer is a profound yes. 674 00:40:50,883 --> 00:40:54,321 One of the basic tenets of the ancient astronaut theory 675 00:40:54,364 --> 00:40:58,630 suggests that a long time ago our DNA 676 00:40:58,673 --> 00:41:04,549 was artificially changed by extraterrestrials. 677 00:41:04,592 --> 00:41:08,901 And we can see that this is exactly what happened 678 00:41:08,944 --> 00:41:13,688 because all of a sudden we made a giant intellectual leap 679 00:41:13,732 --> 00:41:17,910 and all of a sudden we became Homo sapien sapiens. 680 00:41:17,953 --> 00:41:21,261 This was the time when the very first 681 00:41:21,304 --> 00:41:26,092 extraterrestrial genetic engineering took place. 682 00:41:26,135 --> 00:41:29,574 And in some ways, this was like phase one and the creation 683 00:41:29,617 --> 00:41:34,753 of modern human beings as we know them. 684 00:41:34,796 --> 00:41:38,887 Did extraterrestrials deliberately alter Homo sapien 685 00:41:38,931 --> 00:41:41,237 DNA? 686 00:41:41,281 --> 00:41:45,111 And if so, did they also give humans the knowledge of how 687 00:41:45,154 --> 00:41:48,984 to maintain their bodies and heal themselves, 688 00:41:49,028 --> 00:41:53,772 knowledge that we are only now rediscovering? 689 00:41:53,815 --> 00:41:58,211 There is a very widespread prevalence worldwide 690 00:41:58,254 --> 00:42:03,564 of a divine providence to medicine, 691 00:42:03,608 --> 00:42:08,438 that the gods wanted to help us to have happier, longer, more 692 00:42:08,482 --> 00:42:10,876 fulfilling lives. 693 00:42:10,919 --> 00:42:14,575 And that they brought out their best technology and their best 694 00:42:14,619 --> 00:42:19,188 wisdom teachings to us in order to make that healing possible. 695 00:42:19,232 --> 00:42:22,888 Is there any surgeon out there who just woke up one 696 00:42:22,931 --> 00:42:25,455 day and said, I'm going to perform surgery? 697 00:42:25,499 --> 00:42:26,848 Of course not. 698 00:42:26,892 --> 00:42:29,938 Every single surgeon had to receive 699 00:42:29,982 --> 00:42:34,203 sophisticated and lengthy instruction, training. 700 00:42:34,247 --> 00:42:37,729 We know that our ancestors told us 701 00:42:37,772 --> 00:42:41,907 that the knowledge for medicine was given to them by none 702 00:42:41,950 --> 00:42:46,564 other than what they referred to as the Gods. 703 00:42:46,607 --> 00:42:49,175 This is knowledge and information which 704 00:42:49,218 --> 00:42:52,047 exceeds the human capabilities. 705 00:42:52,091 --> 00:42:55,137 And this is, once again, within part of a larger framework, 706 00:42:55,181 --> 00:43:00,708 a framework of divine healers who allow this capability to be 707 00:43:00,752 --> 00:43:04,843 used for surgery, to be used for diagnosis, 708 00:43:04,886 --> 00:43:08,629 to be used for healing purposes. 709 00:43:08,673 --> 00:43:10,762 They sit between us and the gods, 710 00:43:10,805 --> 00:43:14,069 and they were somehow able to apply the divine information 711 00:43:14,113 --> 00:43:17,638 when it came to medicine to very noble purposes 712 00:43:17,682 --> 00:43:20,075 here on planet Earth. 713 00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:24,514 Did ancient aliens really alter our DNA 714 00:43:24,558 --> 00:43:28,344 in an effort to make us better, smarter, and perhaps 715 00:43:28,388 --> 00:43:31,043 more like themselves? 716 00:43:31,086 --> 00:43:36,091 And if so, did they also give early man medical knowledge, 717 00:43:36,135 --> 00:43:39,181 knowledge that was lost over the centuries 718 00:43:39,225 --> 00:43:44,143 and that modern science is only now beginning to rediscover? 719 00:43:44,186 --> 00:43:46,362 Ancient astronaut theorists believe 720 00:43:46,406 --> 00:43:51,759 the answer is yes and suggest that incredible new discoveries 721 00:43:51,803 --> 00:43:57,504 and rediscoveries lie ahead, discoveries that may reveal 722 00:43:57,547 --> 00:44:03,336 the secrets of life and death, the key to immortality, 723 00:44:03,379 --> 00:44:09,516 and the answer to the question of who and what we really are. 59440
