1
00:00:03,699 --> 00:00:07,094
could be the gateway
to another realm.
2
00:00:07,137 --> 00:00:09,096
There's a place
somewhere in Tibet
3
00:00:09,139 --> 00:00:11,054
that's some kind of vortex.
4
00:00:11,098 --> 00:00:12,925
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
It is said that this was
5
00:00:12,969 --> 00:00:15,145
the abode of the gods.
6
00:00:15,189 --> 00:00:18,714
NARRATOR:
With thousands
of reports of UFOs...
7
00:00:18,757 --> 00:00:22,718
Suddenly they saw an oval-shapedobject pass over them.
8
00:00:22,761 --> 00:00:26,069
NARRATOR:
...accounts
of terrifying monsters...
9
00:00:26,113 --> 00:00:29,594
These yetis are able to appear
and disappear at will.
10
00:00:29,638 --> 00:00:32,510
NARRATOR
...and mysterious
mass vanishings...
11
00:00:32,554 --> 00:00:35,165
JONATHAN YOUNG:
This kingdom had power,
it had glory.
12
00:00:35,209 --> 00:00:37,428
And then it disappeared.
13
00:00:37,472 --> 00:00:41,215
NARRATOR:
...could Tibet be
an extraterrestrial outpost
14
00:00:41,258 --> 00:00:44,566
-on Earth?
-TSOUKALOS: The reason why
15
00:00:44,609 --> 00:00:47,090
this area of the world has
become a religious center
16
00:00:47,134 --> 00:00:51,529
is because of the arrival
of the extraterrestrials.
17
00:00:54,010 --> 00:00:56,012
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
18
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:58,884
in the universe.
19
00:00:58,928 --> 00:01:02,975
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
20
00:01:03,019 --> 00:01:05,761
It demands
we question everything
21
00:01:05,804 --> 00:01:08,111
we have ever been taught.
22
00:01:08,155 --> 00:01:11,506
The evidence is all around us.
23
00:01:11,549 --> 00:01:15,597
The future is
right before our eyes.
24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,295
We are not alone.
25
00:01:18,339 --> 00:01:21,733
We have never been alone.
26
00:01:30,046 --> 00:01:33,136
NARRATOR:
On the northern side
of the Himalayas
27
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:38,010
lies the highest geographical
region on Earth: Tibet.
28
00:01:38,054 --> 00:01:41,101
Known as "the roof
of the world,"
29
00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:45,583
it has an average elevation
of nearly 15,000 feet.
30
00:01:45,627 --> 00:01:49,805
There is 40% less oxygen tobreathe here than at sea level,
31
00:01:49,848 --> 00:01:53,983
and the weather can be dangerous
and unpredictable.
32
00:01:55,941 --> 00:02:00,990
Yet more than three million
people call Tibet home.
33
00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:03,732
Millions more brave the harsh
conditions to travel here
34
00:02:03,775 --> 00:02:07,301
each year and visit
Tibet's sacred peaks,
35
00:02:07,344 --> 00:02:10,695
including Mount Everest,
which reaches
36
00:02:10,739 --> 00:02:14,569
nearly five and a half miles
into the heavens.
37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,662
Tibet we call "Land of Snow."
38
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:35,111
YOUNG: Here is this mountain
kingdom, very hard to get to,
39
00:02:35,155 --> 00:02:38,854
with an exotic culture allits own, amazing architecture...
40
00:02:40,595 --> 00:02:44,642
...and the dizzying heights
of its location.
41
00:02:44,686 --> 00:02:47,428
DEEPAK SHIMKHADA:
There are a lot
of mysteries involved,
42
00:02:47,471 --> 00:02:50,431
with the origin of, uh, Tibet,
and also a lot of history.
43
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,741
Tibet is usually referred to
as a land of gods.
44
00:02:56,785 --> 00:02:59,179
It is a kind of exotic land
45
00:02:59,222 --> 00:03:01,703
where many people-- Westerners--
wanted to go there.
46
00:03:03,357 --> 00:03:06,534
YOUNG:
The secrets
of the Tibetan culture
47
00:03:06,577 --> 00:03:12,148
have eluded us and held our
fascination since early times.
48
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:17,893
NARRATOR:
Humans have inhabited Tibet
for at least 20,000 years.
49
00:03:17,936 --> 00:03:20,983
Little is known about
the earliest inhabitants
50
00:03:21,026 --> 00:03:23,594
of this forbidding environment,
51
00:03:23,638 --> 00:03:26,554
but ancient Tibetan texts
identify
52
00:03:26,597 --> 00:03:30,210
the region's first rulers
as the Zhangzhung people,
53
00:03:30,253 --> 00:03:33,256
who emerged around 500 BC.
54
00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:38,435
Much about this earlycivilization is still a mystery.
55
00:03:38,479 --> 00:03:40,785
But their spiritual tradition,
called Bon,
56
00:03:40,829 --> 00:03:45,834
remains a powerful force
in Tibet.
57
00:03:45,877 --> 00:03:48,358
The native indigenous
Tibetan religion,
58
00:03:48,402 --> 00:03:50,882
which is known as Bon or Bon po,
59
00:03:50,926 --> 00:03:54,234
that, in many ways,
is similar to Taoism.
60
00:03:54,277 --> 00:03:56,932
It connects nature
and spirituality.
61
00:03:56,975 --> 00:04:00,022
Certain spots are
very powerful spots.
62
00:04:00,065 --> 00:04:04,287
There's a lot of magic involved,like, with demons and exorcisms.
63
00:04:04,331 --> 00:04:08,813
NARRATOR:
In the eighth century,
Tibetan king Trisong Detsen
64
00:04:08,857 --> 00:04:10,424
introduced a new religion
65
00:04:10,467 --> 00:04:13,775
and philosophy to the area:
Buddhism.
66
00:04:13,818 --> 00:04:17,779
Followers of Buddhism share
a belief in reincarnation
67
00:04:17,822 --> 00:04:21,609
and don't acknowledge
a supreme god or deity.
68
00:04:21,652 --> 00:04:24,220
They instead focus
on achieving enlightenment,
69
00:04:24,264 --> 00:04:27,789
a state of inner peace
and wisdom.
70
00:04:27,832 --> 00:04:31,053
The combination of Bon,
Buddhism,
71
00:04:31,096 --> 00:04:32,663
and other local traditions
72
00:04:32,707 --> 00:04:37,668
resulted in what is known todayas Tibetan Buddhism.
73
00:04:37,712 --> 00:04:42,064
At the same time Buddhism wasintroduced, Tibet also gave rise
74
00:04:42,107 --> 00:04:44,849
to the world's most mysterious
spiritual leader,
75
00:04:44,893 --> 00:04:46,460
the Dalai Lama.
76
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,652
YOUNG:
The great Tibetan thinkers
strongly believe,
77
00:05:04,695 --> 00:05:07,655
along with the rest
of the population,
78
00:05:07,698 --> 00:05:13,617
that this is, in fact, the 74thincarnation of the Chenrezig.
79
00:05:13,661 --> 00:05:17,621
And it is a continuation
of the Buddha himself.
80
00:05:17,665 --> 00:05:20,232
So, the current Dalai Lama
is a continuation
81
00:05:20,276 --> 00:05:21,799
of this great energy.
82
00:05:23,801 --> 00:05:26,848
SHIMKHADA:
These Lamas and all
these great personalities
83
00:05:26,891 --> 00:05:30,460
lived in Tibet,
so perhaps there is something
84
00:05:30,504 --> 00:05:34,464
to be learned from
these great masters in Tibet.
85
00:05:34,508 --> 00:05:37,554
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Having traveled in Tibet
a number of times,
86
00:05:37,598 --> 00:05:39,730
it really expands your mind.
87
00:05:39,774 --> 00:05:41,558
And in many ways,
88
00:05:41,602 --> 00:05:46,650
Tibet is that magical, mysticalplace where anything can happen.
89
00:05:46,694 --> 00:05:50,828
NARRATOR:
Tibet not only stands
at a crossroads
90
00:05:50,872 --> 00:05:55,137
of Eastern religious traditions,but is believed by many
91
00:05:55,180 --> 00:05:59,489
to be a place where heavenlybeings actually reside on Earth.
92
00:05:59,533 --> 00:06:04,668
TSOUKALOS:
It is said that this was
the abode of the gods.
93
00:06:04,712 --> 00:06:07,976
The Himalayan region
is filled with stories
94
00:06:08,019 --> 00:06:11,588
of so-called "celestial beings"
95
00:06:11,632 --> 00:06:15,592
that descended from the sky
in flying vehicles
96
00:06:15,636 --> 00:06:21,772
that they're referred toas dragons and flying furnaces.
97
00:06:21,816 --> 00:06:25,994
According to someof the earliest Sanskrit texts,
98
00:06:26,037 --> 00:06:29,345
the first Buddha
that ever walked the Earth
99
00:06:29,389 --> 00:06:33,523
was nine feet tall,
had light blue skin,
100
00:06:33,567 --> 00:06:38,267
and his arms reached
all the way down to his knees.
101
00:06:38,310 --> 00:06:41,488
And there are multiple statues
all throughout that region
102
00:06:41,531 --> 00:06:47,189
of the world that depict
exactly a Buddha like that.
103
00:07:01,333 --> 00:07:04,293
TSOUKALOS:
Visitation did happen,
104
00:07:04,336 --> 00:07:09,080
and this was something that hasremained in the consciousness
105
00:07:09,124 --> 00:07:12,083
of the local people
over millennia.
106
00:07:12,127 --> 00:07:15,652
The reason why
this area of the world
107
00:07:15,696 --> 00:07:17,872
has become a religious center
108
00:07:17,915 --> 00:07:21,832
is because of the arrival
of the extraterrestrials.
109
00:07:21,876 --> 00:07:24,792
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the culture of Tibet
110
00:07:24,835 --> 00:07:28,578
was influenced
by ancient alien visitors?
111
00:07:28,622 --> 00:07:31,668
And if so,
could they still be present
112
00:07:31,712 --> 00:07:34,062
in this mountainous region
today?
113
00:07:34,105 --> 00:07:37,544
According to both Hindu
and Buddhist traditions,
114
00:07:37,587 --> 00:07:41,112
the gods reside in a hidden
kingdom in the Himalayas
115
00:07:41,156 --> 00:07:43,245
known as Shambhala.
116
00:07:51,514 --> 00:07:53,385
CHILDRESS:
Shambhala is ruled by kings
117
00:07:53,429 --> 00:07:55,910
who live for hundreds of years.
118
00:07:55,953 --> 00:07:57,520
They are all-knowing.
119
00:07:57,564 --> 00:08:02,394
And they, particularly,
are guiding the planet.
120
00:08:02,438 --> 00:08:06,224
Very much as we often think thatextraterrestrials are doing.
121
00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:09,227
They have wonderful technology.
122
00:08:09,271 --> 00:08:11,795
There's electricity.
There's airships.
123
00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:14,102
So what is going on
in Shambhala?
124
00:08:14,145 --> 00:08:16,931
Is it some mystical city
of the masters,
125
00:08:16,974 --> 00:08:19,803
where extraterrestrials
and humans
126
00:08:19,847 --> 00:08:21,588
are living and working together?
127
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:23,807
I mean, that's what
many people believe.
128
00:08:23,851 --> 00:08:28,159
NARRATOR:Is the lost kingdom of Shambhalareally a secret city
129
00:08:28,203 --> 00:08:30,553
of advanced
extraterrestrial beings,
130
00:08:30,597 --> 00:08:33,730
as some ancient astronaut
theorists suggest?
131
00:08:33,774 --> 00:08:37,560
And if so, might evidence
of its alien origin
132
00:08:37,604 --> 00:08:40,171
be found somewhere in Tibet?
133
00:08:40,215 --> 00:08:44,349
Perhaps clues can be found
in one legendary expedition
134
00:08:44,393 --> 00:08:47,701
into the very heart
of the unknown.
135
00:08:58,059 --> 00:09:00,148
WILLIAM HENRY: We're told
that people live thereNARRATOR:
Russian painter, philosopher
136
00:09:00,191 --> 00:09:02,759
and archaeologist
Nicholas Roerich
137
00:09:02,803 --> 00:09:05,806
embarks on
an unprecedented expedition
138
00:09:05,849 --> 00:09:09,505
into the uncharted territory
of the Tibetan plateau
139
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:13,030
on a quest to find
the lost kingdom of Shambhala.
140
00:09:13,074 --> 00:09:16,860
On August 5, 1927,
141
00:09:16,947 --> 00:09:20,516
Roerich notes a strange object
in the skies while traveling
142
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:24,868
through the mountains along thenortheastern border of Tibet.
143
00:09:24,955 --> 00:09:27,523
Roerich writes that they were
looking up at the sky,
144
00:09:27,567 --> 00:09:31,179
watching an eagle fly around,
and then suddenly they saw
145
00:09:31,222 --> 00:09:36,358
a sort of oval-shaped object,
moving from north to south
146
00:09:36,445 --> 00:09:39,840
at very fast speeds,
pass over them.
147
00:09:39,883 --> 00:09:42,973
HUGH NEWMAN: At one of his
later lectures in 1935,
148
00:09:43,017 --> 00:09:47,543
Nicholas Roerich described
his sighting as a spacecraft
149
00:09:47,587 --> 00:09:51,852
or an aerial vehicle that musthave come from Shambhala itself.
150
00:09:54,637 --> 00:09:56,770
NARRATOR:
Did Nicholas Roerich witness
151
00:09:56,813 --> 00:10:00,251
an alien craft in Tibet
nearly a century ago,
152
00:10:00,338 --> 00:10:04,995
decades before the era
of modern UFO sightings began?
153
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:08,259
And if so, is it possible
that the traditions
154
00:10:08,346 --> 00:10:10,479
that have endured here
for centuries
155
00:10:10,522 --> 00:10:13,830
reflect not only
a profound spirituality,
156
00:10:13,874 --> 00:10:17,225
but are tied
to an otherworldly presence?
157
00:10:17,268 --> 00:10:20,402
Perhaps further clues
can be found
158
00:10:20,489 --> 00:10:23,274
by examining
an early Buddhist civilization
159
00:10:23,318 --> 00:10:27,627
that suddenly
and mysteriously disappeared.
160
00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:33,894
Ngari Prefecture, Tibet, 2020.
161
00:10:33,937 --> 00:10:37,593
Towering at over 12,000 feet,
162
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:40,074
these ancient ruins
are all that is left
163
00:10:40,117 --> 00:10:42,859
of the mysterious Buddhist
kingdom of Guge.
164
00:10:42,903 --> 00:10:45,253
Established
in the tenth century,
165
00:10:45,340 --> 00:10:49,387
this civilization flourished
for 700 years.
166
00:10:49,431 --> 00:10:52,956
But then, according
to local legend,
167
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,742
its inhabitants vanished.
168
00:10:55,785 --> 00:11:00,094
The ruins of this early city
are truly amazing.
169
00:11:00,137 --> 00:11:02,662
They're in the southwest cornerof Tibet,
170
00:11:02,705 --> 00:11:05,752
and there are thousands
of what were temples
171
00:11:05,839 --> 00:11:08,363
and palaces, mostly gone now.
172
00:11:10,626 --> 00:11:14,543
This was a kingdomof great influence in its time.
173
00:11:14,586 --> 00:11:18,634
This magnificent capitalhad artwork over all the walls,
174
00:11:18,721 --> 00:11:20,723
images of the Buddha,
sacred carvings
175
00:11:20,767 --> 00:11:22,333
and images of all kind.
176
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:24,596
It had power, it had glory,
177
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:26,860
and now it is nothing.
178
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:31,125
HENRY:Guge was in continuous operation
179
00:11:31,168 --> 00:11:34,606
until it mysteriously,
virtually disappeared.
180
00:11:34,650 --> 00:11:36,783
Nobody knows exactly
what happened there
181
00:11:36,826 --> 00:11:38,785
or why people
stopped living there
182
00:11:38,828 --> 00:11:40,134
or why they-- where they want.
183
00:11:40,177 --> 00:11:43,311
NARRATOR:Guge was brought under the rule
184
00:11:43,398 --> 00:11:46,357
of the central Tibetan
government in 1680,
185
00:11:46,401 --> 00:11:49,273
but remained largely isolated
and independent
186
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,798
for more than 200 years.
187
00:11:51,885 --> 00:11:55,323
Then, in the early 20th century,
188
00:11:55,366 --> 00:11:57,368
the Tibetan government
decided to finally
189
00:11:57,412 --> 00:12:00,284
start taxing
the residents of Guge.
190
00:12:00,328 --> 00:12:02,939
But when soldiers arrived
to collect,
191
00:12:02,983 --> 00:12:04,680
they were shocked to find
192
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:09,772
that the entire population,
an estimated 100,000 people,
193
00:12:09,816 --> 00:12:12,340
had disappeared.
194
00:12:12,383 --> 00:12:15,822
Where they went remains
a complete mystery,
195
00:12:15,865 --> 00:12:19,042
and many Tibetans believe
the reason why
196
00:12:19,086 --> 00:12:24,004
is because the people of Guge
traveled deep underground.
197
00:12:24,047 --> 00:12:28,748
CHILDRESS:
The fortress of Guge
had all kinds of tunnels
198
00:12:28,835 --> 00:12:31,663
and hidden staircases
that went underground
199
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:33,187
and went inside this mountain.
200
00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:36,886
So even though
it was, uh, ruins already
201
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:38,758
when archaeologists went there,
202
00:12:38,801 --> 00:12:42,500
they were astounded
that this city of Guge
203
00:12:42,544 --> 00:12:45,590
apparently led inside the Earth.
204
00:12:45,634 --> 00:12:47,462
What people seemed to believe
was that
205
00:12:47,505 --> 00:12:50,378
if you were to follow
these tunnels far enough
206
00:12:50,465 --> 00:12:52,423
into the Earth,
you would eventually
207
00:12:52,510 --> 00:12:55,731
come to that hidden city
of Shambhala...
208
00:12:55,818 --> 00:13:00,518
an active city full of light
and-and power.
209
00:13:00,562 --> 00:13:03,783
NARRATOR:
Did the people
of this ancient civilization
210
00:13:03,826 --> 00:13:06,611
flee underground
on an epic pilgrimage
211
00:13:06,698 --> 00:13:08,918
to the mythic kingdom
of Shambhala?
212
00:13:09,005 --> 00:13:13,227
And if so,
where did their path lead?
213
00:13:13,270 --> 00:13:16,926
Some researchers believe
the tunnels of Guge
214
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:19,276
lead to a holy mountain
to the east
215
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,931
that can be clearly seen
from these ruins...
216
00:13:21,975 --> 00:13:24,760
Mount Kailash.
217
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:28,808
Every year,
thousands of pilgrims
218
00:13:28,895 --> 00:13:30,418
make the treacherous journey
to the base
219
00:13:30,505 --> 00:13:32,420
of this sacred peak.
220
00:13:32,463 --> 00:13:35,771
STEAVU: Every year,
there are pilgrimages
221
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:39,427
around Mount Kailash
in order to gain the blessing
222
00:13:39,470 --> 00:13:41,429
and maybe even
some of the powers
223
00:13:41,472 --> 00:13:43,910
associated with
the residing gods
224
00:13:43,953 --> 00:13:47,435
and, and Buddhas and deities
of Mount Kailash.
225
00:13:47,478 --> 00:13:51,918
It lasts up to four weeks
if it's done correctly,
226
00:13:51,961 --> 00:13:54,007
with full prostrations
at every step,
227
00:13:54,050 --> 00:13:57,619
and it's also
a very unforgiving landscape,
228
00:13:57,706 --> 00:14:01,231
so many people end up
giving up, and some of them
229
00:14:01,275 --> 00:14:02,363
also end up dying.
230
00:14:04,974 --> 00:14:06,933
NARRATOR:
According to ancient
Buddhist texts
231
00:14:07,020 --> 00:14:09,587
known as the Kalachakra tantra,
232
00:14:09,631 --> 00:14:11,198
the kingdom of Shambhala
233
00:14:11,241 --> 00:14:13,330
can be found "behind"
Mount Kailash,
234
00:14:13,417 --> 00:14:17,117
or, as some interpret it,
within.
235
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,946
And many who have stared up
at this sacred peak
236
00:14:20,033 --> 00:14:23,950
have observed mysterious objectsin the sky.
237
00:14:26,256 --> 00:14:30,347
Mount Kailash is at the center
of all sorts of mysteries.
238
00:14:30,391 --> 00:14:33,698
UFO sightings,
the hint that there might be
239
00:14:33,742 --> 00:14:36,353
something hidden there,
but it's unknowable.
240
00:14:36,397 --> 00:14:40,749
HENRY:There are many myths and legendsand strange things
241
00:14:40,792 --> 00:14:42,533
that have gone on
at Mount Kailash.
242
00:14:42,577 --> 00:14:44,535
People go there on pilgrimages,
243
00:14:44,622 --> 00:14:46,189
but they're told not to stay
there long,
244
00:14:46,276 --> 00:14:47,321
because there's
something radioactive
245
00:14:47,364 --> 00:14:48,713
inside the mountain.
246
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,846
And we're told that
people live there,
247
00:14:50,890 --> 00:14:53,980
both in physical form
and in nonphysical form.
248
00:14:54,023 --> 00:14:55,851
It has to be one of
249
00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:58,158
the strangest places
on the planet.
250
00:14:58,201 --> 00:15:01,639
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the mysterious phenomena
251
00:15:01,683 --> 00:15:03,815
occurring at Mount Kailash,
252
00:15:03,859 --> 00:15:05,992
and its association
with Shambhala,
253
00:15:06,079 --> 00:15:10,213
is connected
to extraterrestrial activity?
254
00:15:10,257 --> 00:15:14,348
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest answers can be found
255
00:15:14,391 --> 00:15:16,698
by studying the sacred
Buddhist monuments
256
00:15:16,741 --> 00:15:20,354
known as stupas,
found all throughout Nepal,
257
00:15:20,397 --> 00:15:25,098
India and Tibet,including at the ruins of Guge.
258
00:15:25,185 --> 00:15:29,363
HENRY:
For centuries,
people have been sighting UFOs
259
00:15:29,406 --> 00:15:32,453
or unexplained craft coming
in and out of Mount Kailash.
260
00:15:32,496 --> 00:15:34,890
And it's very interesting
when you compare the shape
261
00:15:34,977 --> 00:15:37,153
of the stupas
that we find in Tibet,
262
00:15:37,197 --> 00:15:40,722
these dome shapes,
and how they highly resemble
263
00:15:40,765 --> 00:15:44,682
some kind of extraterrestrial
craft sitting on the ground.
264
00:15:44,726 --> 00:15:46,510
So perhaps people saw
265
00:15:46,554 --> 00:15:49,078
these craft entering
into Kailash and decided,
266
00:15:49,122 --> 00:15:52,038
"We're gonna build stupas in
remembrance of what they saw."
267
00:15:53,735 --> 00:15:55,737
TSOUKALOS:
A stupa, by definition,
268
00:15:55,780 --> 00:15:59,784
is a vehicle with whichto reach the realm of the gods.
269
00:15:59,828 --> 00:16:01,917
That is the definition
of a stupa.
270
00:16:01,961 --> 00:16:05,181
Well, just change the wording,
"a vehicle
271
00:16:05,225 --> 00:16:08,271
with which to reach space."
272
00:16:08,315 --> 00:16:11,840
These stupas can be seen,
for example,
273
00:16:11,883 --> 00:16:15,104
in the Ajanta Cave, with smokeand fire at the, at the bottom.
274
00:16:15,191 --> 00:16:17,106
And what more do you want?
275
00:16:17,193 --> 00:16:20,153
It's no longer a symbol.
It is the truth.
276
00:16:20,196 --> 00:16:23,765
NARRATOR:
Might the Buddhist stupas
of Tibet be monuments
277
00:16:23,808 --> 00:16:25,941
to alien craft witnessed flying
278
00:16:26,028 --> 00:16:28,552
in and around Mount Kailash,
279
00:16:28,596 --> 00:16:32,426
a site believed by many to be
the kingdom of Shambhala?
280
00:16:32,469 --> 00:16:37,083
And if so, how has it remained
hidden for millennia?
281
00:16:37,126 --> 00:16:40,956
Could it be that somewhere
on the slopes of Mount Kailash
282
00:16:41,043 --> 00:16:45,091
is the entrance to a hidden
extraterrestrial realm?
283
00:16:45,134 --> 00:16:49,312
While countless expeditions
have tried and failed
284
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:52,446
to find the legendary kingdom
of Shambhala,
285
00:16:52,533 --> 00:16:55,188
there are some who claim
to have found a way
286
00:16:55,231 --> 00:16:59,018
to communicate with
its otherworldly inhabitants.
287
00:17:05,894 --> 00:17:08,418
NEWMAN:
Was she somehow in contact
288
00:17:08,462 --> 00:17:12,118
Famed Russian mystic
and philosopher
289
00:17:12,161 --> 00:17:14,642
Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky
290
00:17:14,685 --> 00:17:18,472
publishes her seminal book
The Secret Doctrine.
291
00:17:18,515 --> 00:17:21,910
In it, she offers
detailed descriptions
292
00:17:21,953 --> 00:17:23,651
of the legendary lost continents
293
00:17:23,694 --> 00:17:26,567
of Atlantis and Lemuria.
294
00:17:26,610 --> 00:17:31,137
She claims not only that these
ancient civilizations existed
295
00:17:31,180 --> 00:17:34,488
but that they possessed
highly advanced technology,
296
00:17:34,531 --> 00:17:38,970
including flying machines,
thousands of years ago.
297
00:17:39,014 --> 00:17:43,236
Madame Blavatsky maintained
that human lineage
298
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:45,629
is vastly older
than we understand
299
00:17:45,673 --> 00:17:48,632
and that primordial
civilizations,
300
00:17:48,676 --> 00:17:50,939
like Atlantis or Lemuria,
301
00:17:50,982 --> 00:17:53,333
formed the foundation
of human history
302
00:17:53,376 --> 00:17:56,640
and were much older
than Egyptian culture,
303
00:17:56,684 --> 00:17:58,164
than Vedic culture,
304
00:17:58,207 --> 00:18:01,471
than any culture
known to humanity.
305
00:18:01,515 --> 00:18:05,432
This, to her, was an occult
history that humankind,
306
00:18:05,475 --> 00:18:09,131
uh, had forgotten about,
had failed to understand.
307
00:18:09,175 --> 00:18:11,699
LACHMAN:
Atlantis, we know,
goes back to Plato.
308
00:18:11,742 --> 00:18:14,354
Uh, he's the first one
to really talk about it.
309
00:18:14,397 --> 00:18:17,487
And both Atlantis and Lemuria
at some point,
310
00:18:17,531 --> 00:18:19,707
they sort of turned dark.
311
00:18:19,750 --> 00:18:22,579
They became fascinated
with a kind
312
00:18:22,623 --> 00:18:25,191
of form of black magic,and a kind of hyper technology.
313
00:18:25,234 --> 00:18:27,236
And this led to their demise.
314
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,458
NARRATOR:
Madame Blavatsky claimed
she received this knowledge
315
00:18:31,501 --> 00:18:34,113
from a mysterious entity
she described
316
00:18:34,156 --> 00:18:38,508
as a "mahatma," a Sanskrit wordthat means "great soul."
317
00:18:38,552 --> 00:18:43,296
He called himself Koot Hoomi
and resided in Tibet.
318
00:18:43,339 --> 00:18:47,082
Koot Hoomi communicated
with her telepathically.
319
00:18:47,126 --> 00:18:49,302
In other words,
she kind of channeled him.
320
00:18:49,345 --> 00:18:52,392
SHIMKHADA:
The way she described him
321
00:18:52,435 --> 00:18:56,091
is almost like an eternal baba,eternal soul,
322
00:18:56,135 --> 00:18:58,267
so, you know, he is,
like, immortal.
323
00:18:58,311 --> 00:19:01,052
MICHAEL SALLA:
Also, he was able
to manifest himself
324
00:19:01,096 --> 00:19:03,707
in her apartment
in New York City,
325
00:19:03,751 --> 00:19:05,144
even though it was
thousands of miles away.
326
00:19:08,321 --> 00:19:10,192
NEWMAN:
We have to question
what was going on here.
327
00:19:10,236 --> 00:19:12,194
Was she somehow in contact
328
00:19:12,238 --> 00:19:15,719
with some kind of hidden world
in the Himalayas?
329
00:19:15,763 --> 00:19:19,114
NARRATOR:
In 1875,
330
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:22,465
Madame Blavatsky founded
the Theosophical Society.
331
00:19:22,509 --> 00:19:25,120
It was made up
of prominent thinkers
332
00:19:25,164 --> 00:19:28,428
who sought to explore Eastern
religions and the occult,
333
00:19:28,471 --> 00:19:31,039
and create a kind
of universal brotherhood
334
00:19:31,082 --> 00:19:33,259
based on the teachings
of Koot Hoomi
335
00:19:33,302 --> 00:19:35,391
and other Mahatmas.
336
00:19:35,435 --> 00:19:39,134
LACHMAN:
Theosophy means, uh,
"the wisdom of the gods."
337
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:42,703
The Theosophical Society
was incredibly, um...
338
00:19:42,746 --> 00:19:44,574
successful and popular
and influential.
339
00:19:44,618 --> 00:19:46,794
Not only in the occult world,
340
00:19:46,837 --> 00:19:49,231
but she was also influential
in the cultural world.
341
00:19:49,275 --> 00:19:52,321
Uh, people like, uh,
the-the painter, Mondrian,
342
00:19:52,365 --> 00:19:55,716
and Wassily Kandinsky
were early Theosophists.
343
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,153
L. Frank Baum,
who wrote the Oz books.
344
00:19:58,197 --> 00:20:00,721
Abner Doubleday,
who invented baseball.
345
00:20:00,764 --> 00:20:03,114
Thomas Edison invented
the light bulb.
346
00:20:03,158 --> 00:20:04,551
These were all
very early members
347
00:20:04,594 --> 00:20:06,205
of the Theosophical Society.
348
00:20:06,248 --> 00:20:08,685
NARRATOR:
While many important figures
349
00:20:08,729 --> 00:20:10,905
joined the Theosophical Society,
350
00:20:10,948 --> 00:20:14,648
Madame Blavatsky had aparticularly profound influence
351
00:20:14,691 --> 00:20:16,606
on a young Indian law student
352
00:20:16,650 --> 00:20:18,913
who came to visit her
in London...
353
00:20:18,956 --> 00:20:21,132
Mohandas Gandhi.
354
00:20:21,176 --> 00:20:23,787
HOROWITZ:
Gandhi wrote about this
as one of the pivotal
355
00:20:23,831 --> 00:20:25,920
encounters of his life.
356
00:20:25,963 --> 00:20:29,576
He maintained that
Madame Blavatsky gave him
357
00:20:29,619 --> 00:20:32,840
the first sense of universal
358
00:20:32,883 --> 00:20:35,973
brotherhood
that later came to form
359
00:20:36,017 --> 00:20:38,454
the core of his philosophy,
360
00:20:38,498 --> 00:20:43,242
not only of radical equality
but of radical nonviolence.
361
00:20:43,285 --> 00:20:46,027
Now, this is quite astonishing,when we think about
362
00:20:46,070 --> 00:20:49,248
the potential here
that perhaps an entity,
363
00:20:49,291 --> 00:20:51,293
this strange Tibetan entity
364
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:53,600
that's making psychical contact
with Blavatsky,
365
00:20:53,643 --> 00:20:56,255
has now reached out to someone
who would go on to be
366
00:20:56,298 --> 00:20:59,345
one of the most famous persons
in history,
367
00:20:59,388 --> 00:21:02,043
and would have made this radicalchange in India that would,
368
00:21:02,086 --> 00:21:03,740
you know, really shock the world
369
00:21:03,784 --> 00:21:06,090
and change the face
of the British Empire.
370
00:21:06,134 --> 00:21:09,572
NARRATOR:
Was Gandhi's
transformative leadership
371
00:21:09,616 --> 00:21:13,968
and Indian independence in parta result of influence
372
00:21:14,011 --> 00:21:17,624
from these mysterious,
enlightened masters in Tibet?
373
00:21:17,667 --> 00:21:22,281
And if so, who were these
so-called mahatmas?
374
00:21:22,324 --> 00:21:26,372
Ancient astronaut theoristsbelieve the answer can be found
375
00:21:26,415 --> 00:21:30,289
by examining an encounter
with a similar entity.
376
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:36,991
New York City, 1918.
377
00:21:38,471 --> 00:21:42,170
British occultist and writer
Aleister Crowley engages
378
00:21:42,213 --> 00:21:46,870
in a magic ritual he calls
the Amalantrah Working.
379
00:21:46,914 --> 00:21:50,439
He claims the ritual opens
an interdimensional portal,
380
00:21:50,483 --> 00:21:54,617
allowing him to interact
with an otherworldly being.
381
00:21:54,661 --> 00:21:57,838
Aleister Crowley is probably
the most famous,
382
00:21:57,881 --> 00:22:01,711
or, rather, infamous,magician
of the 20th century.
383
00:22:02,843 --> 00:22:06,194
And Crowley took it
upon himself to revive
384
00:22:06,237 --> 00:22:09,197
the ancient black arts--
the dark arts, as it were.
385
00:22:11,286 --> 00:22:13,027
He was contacting
lots of different beings
386
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:15,246
from other dimensions.
387
00:22:15,290 --> 00:22:19,294
But there was also a visionCrowley had of this individual,
388
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:21,427
this entity that he called Lam.
389
00:22:22,732 --> 00:22:24,299
NARRATOR:
According to Crowley,
390
00:22:24,343 --> 00:22:27,955
this entity claimed to residehigh in the mountains of Tibet,
391
00:22:27,998 --> 00:22:31,132
just like the mahatma
that Madame Blavatsky said
392
00:22:31,175 --> 00:22:32,916
she encountered.
393
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,486
Lam claimed to be
a Tibetan master of wisdom,
394
00:22:37,530 --> 00:22:39,749
somewhat in the footsteps
of some of the figures
395
00:22:39,793 --> 00:22:42,709
that Madame Blavatsky had
been in touch with.
396
00:22:42,752 --> 00:22:47,409
And he was a kind of mystical
or otherworldly adept,
397
00:22:47,453 --> 00:22:49,542
in his own description,
according to Crowley.
398
00:22:49,585 --> 00:22:53,894
PICKNETT:
Aleister Crowley drew a sketch
of this creature.
399
00:22:53,937 --> 00:22:56,810
And if you look at this sketch,one thing that hits you
400
00:22:56,853 --> 00:22:59,378
very forcibly--
in fact, startlingly--
401
00:22:59,421 --> 00:23:02,990
is the fact that this looks likea Grey alien.
402
00:23:04,687 --> 00:23:09,170
NARRATOR:
More than 70% of alleged
alien abductees
403
00:23:09,213 --> 00:23:12,608
describe encountering what havebecome known as the Greys,
404
00:23:12,652 --> 00:23:14,393
or Grey aliens.
405
00:23:16,351 --> 00:23:18,832
Is it possible that
there is a connection
406
00:23:18,875 --> 00:23:21,748
between these beings
and the Tibetan masters
407
00:23:21,791 --> 00:23:24,577
that both Aleister Crowley
and Madame Blavatsky
408
00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:26,405
claimed to have contacted?
409
00:23:26,448 --> 00:23:31,366
And if so, does this suggest
that there is a hidden
410
00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:34,500
extraterrestrial realm
within Tibet?
411
00:23:34,543 --> 00:23:37,503
Some ancient astronaut
theorists believe
412
00:23:37,546 --> 00:23:39,722
that physical proof
413
00:23:39,766 --> 00:23:42,029
of an alien presence in Tibet
was uncovered
414
00:23:42,072 --> 00:23:44,335
more than 80 years ago
415
00:23:44,379 --> 00:23:48,122
by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
416
00:23:53,997 --> 00:23:56,739
LACHMAN:The idea is that the statue hassome kind of mystical,
417
00:23:56,783 --> 00:23:59,525
May, 1938.
418
00:23:59,568 --> 00:24:04,443
Roughly one year before the
start of the Second World War,
419
00:24:04,486 --> 00:24:08,098
German explorer and zoologist
Ernst Schafer
420
00:24:08,142 --> 00:24:11,972
leads a Nazi-funded expedition
into Tibet.
421
00:24:12,015 --> 00:24:15,279
Schafer's official objective
for the expedition
422
00:24:15,323 --> 00:24:18,979
was the creation of a complete
scientific record of Tibet.
423
00:24:19,022 --> 00:24:22,678
But unofficially, he was given
another directive:
424
00:24:22,722 --> 00:24:27,901
to determine whether Tibet was
the cradle of the Aryan race.
425
00:24:27,944 --> 00:24:31,861
This was allegedly inspired
by a 19th century book written
426
00:24:31,905 --> 00:24:34,690
by British author
Edward Bulwer-Lytton called
427
00:24:34,734 --> 00:24:38,172
Vril, the Power
of the Coming Race.
428
00:24:39,695 --> 00:24:43,743
He describes this
extraordinary race of beings
429
00:24:43,786 --> 00:24:47,181
that have magical powers--
sort of superheroes, really.
430
00:24:49,270 --> 00:24:52,273
And they have the "Vril" power.
431
00:24:53,666 --> 00:24:57,496
And sadly,
this idea also permeated
432
00:24:57,539 --> 00:25:03,066
into the very early Nazi
ideologues' worldview.
433
00:25:03,110 --> 00:25:06,940
The idea that a man
can be a superman,
434
00:25:06,983 --> 00:25:10,639
and in order to do this,
in their eyes,
435
00:25:10,683 --> 00:25:14,208
you had to be of the Aryan race.
436
00:25:16,471 --> 00:25:20,301
NARRATOR:
Some within the Nazis' ranksidentified the Tibetan mahatmas
437
00:25:20,344 --> 00:25:25,001
described by Madame Blavatsky
as a race of supermen,
438
00:25:25,045 --> 00:25:29,745
and sought to prove that the
Aryans were their descendants.
439
00:25:29,789 --> 00:25:33,967
But even more important to the
German expedition than proving
440
00:25:34,010 --> 00:25:39,276
Nazi superiority was findingthe hidden kingdom of Shambhala.
441
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,628
COLLINS:
The Nazis took
an incredible interest
442
00:25:42,671 --> 00:25:46,457
in looking for that entrance
to Shambhala.
443
00:25:46,501 --> 00:25:49,286
The Nazis were almost
certainly influenced
444
00:25:49,330 --> 00:25:52,420
by the works
of Madame Blavatsky,
445
00:25:52,463 --> 00:25:58,513
because she said
if somebody could find access
446
00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:00,994
into Shambhala,
447
00:26:01,037 --> 00:26:07,217
they would also be able tocontrol the destiny of humanity,
448
00:26:07,261 --> 00:26:09,219
and the world as a whole.
449
00:26:10,394 --> 00:26:12,440
LACHMAN:
While they were there,
450
00:26:12,483 --> 00:26:15,095
the war broke out in 1939,
so they were called back.
451
00:26:15,138 --> 00:26:18,751
So, uh, they didn't really
return with any positive proof
452
00:26:18,794 --> 00:26:20,753
about what, you know,
what they were looking for,
453
00:26:20,796 --> 00:26:23,233
but the story is, they did comeback with this statue.
454
00:26:23,277 --> 00:26:27,063
NARRATOR:
Among the items Schafer
brought back to Germany
455
00:26:27,107 --> 00:26:30,545
was a mysterious
22-pound iron statue
456
00:26:30,589 --> 00:26:34,070
of what was presumed
to be a Buddhist deity.
457
00:26:34,114 --> 00:26:38,858
The figure had a swastika on itsclothing, a symbol of divinity
458
00:26:38,901 --> 00:26:43,036
that predated the Nazis
by thousands of years.
459
00:26:44,603 --> 00:26:47,562
One of their discoveries
was a little nine-inch statue
460
00:26:47,606 --> 00:26:51,610
of a being wearing
a swastika on his chest,
461
00:26:51,653 --> 00:26:54,830
which certainly would have got
the attention of the Nazis,
462
00:26:54,874 --> 00:26:57,093
having adopted the swastika
as their symbol,
463
00:26:57,137 --> 00:27:00,749
although they put itinto its counterclockwise form.
464
00:27:00,793 --> 00:27:04,013
The swastika was originallya Tibetan symbol for prosperity
465
00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:05,885
and for good luck.
466
00:27:05,928 --> 00:27:09,062
NARRATOR:
In the late 19th century,
the term Aryan
467
00:27:09,105 --> 00:27:12,065
referred to an Indo-European
language group
468
00:27:12,108 --> 00:27:16,330
that included German, Romance
and Sanskrit languages.
469
00:27:16,373 --> 00:27:19,986
The ancient symbol of
the swastika became associated
470
00:27:20,029 --> 00:27:23,163
with "Aryan"
due to where it was found.
471
00:27:23,206 --> 00:27:26,645
But when the Nazis
redefined the term to identify
472
00:27:26,688 --> 00:27:30,692
what they called "the masterrace," they adopted the swastika
473
00:27:30,736 --> 00:27:36,176
as a symbol of their heritageand self-proclaimed superiority.
474
00:27:36,219 --> 00:27:40,136
We can assume that this is
what stood out to them,
475
00:27:40,180 --> 00:27:43,357
was this, you know, swastika
emblazoned on the chest,
476
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,013
and they decided that this
is a representation
477
00:27:47,056 --> 00:27:49,580
of one of these entities
that are somehow involved
478
00:27:49,624 --> 00:27:51,800
in the backstory
of the Aryan race
479
00:27:51,844 --> 00:27:53,933
and their sort of greatness
in the world.
480
00:27:53,976 --> 00:27:57,327
NARRATOR:
Could the "Iron Man" statue
depict
481
00:27:57,371 --> 00:28:01,854
one of the powerful mahatmas
described by Madame Blavatsky?
482
00:28:01,897 --> 00:28:05,640
Was it perhaps a sign
that the Nazi expedition
483
00:28:05,684 --> 00:28:08,861
was close to finding Shambhala?
484
00:28:08,904 --> 00:28:12,995
While most researchers have beenpreoccupied with determining
485
00:28:13,039 --> 00:28:15,171
what the statue
is meant to depict,
486
00:28:15,215 --> 00:28:19,523
80 years after its discovery,
a scientific study uncovered
487
00:28:19,567 --> 00:28:23,789
an even more intriguing aspect
of the Iron Man.
488
00:28:26,574 --> 00:28:30,491
NARRATOR:
Stuttgart University, 2012.
489
00:28:30,534 --> 00:28:34,147
A team of German geologists
that have performed
490
00:28:34,190 --> 00:28:36,976
a new examination
of the Iron Man statue
491
00:28:37,019 --> 00:28:39,848
publish their analysis
in the scientific journal
492
00:28:39,892 --> 00:28:43,286
Meteorics & Planetary Science.
493
00:28:43,330 --> 00:28:47,073
They estimate the figure was
created in the 11th century
494
00:28:47,116 --> 00:28:50,250
and have found that it was not
made of earthly iron,
495
00:28:50,293 --> 00:28:53,427
but was carved
from the Chinga meteorite.
496
00:28:53,470 --> 00:28:55,908
POPE:It turns out this thing is made
497
00:28:55,951 --> 00:29:00,608
from one of the rarest
meteorites in human history,
498
00:29:00,651 --> 00:29:07,223
that fell to Earth over Tibet
around 15,000 years ago.
499
00:29:07,267 --> 00:29:09,617
It's the most unusual
500
00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:13,360
and hardest meteorite
ever discovered.
501
00:29:13,403 --> 00:29:18,365
The ancient Tibetans
who carved this into a statue
502
00:29:18,408 --> 00:29:23,283
clearly suspectedthat this thing had great power.
503
00:29:23,326 --> 00:29:28,288
CHILDRESS:The Tibetans themselves seem torealize that this was special.
504
00:29:28,331 --> 00:29:31,552
And you have to wonder,
is this meteorite,
505
00:29:31,595 --> 00:29:35,121
was it perhaps part
of a spaceship?
506
00:29:35,164 --> 00:29:39,690
Something that had crashed
there in Tibet,
507
00:29:39,734 --> 00:29:42,302
and the Chinga meteorite
is all that's left of it?
508
00:29:44,043 --> 00:29:47,263
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the Iron Man statue
509
00:29:47,307 --> 00:29:49,526
was made from part
of an alien craft
510
00:29:49,570 --> 00:29:53,748
that crash-landed on Earth
thousands of years ago?
511
00:29:53,792 --> 00:29:56,403
Could it be
a remnant of an event
512
00:29:56,446 --> 00:29:59,710
that marked the arrival
of otherworldly visitors,
513
00:29:59,754 --> 00:30:02,975
and the beginning
of the legend of Shambhala?
514
00:30:03,018 --> 00:30:08,807
Ancient astronaut theorists sayyes, and suggest that the reason
515
00:30:08,850 --> 00:30:11,897
this alien realm remains
so elusive can be found
516
00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:14,638
by examining stories
of a Tibetan monster
517
00:30:14,682 --> 00:30:16,989
known as the yeti.
518
00:30:22,821 --> 00:30:25,171
CHILDRESS:
Were they murdered by,
519
00:30:25,258 --> 00:30:28,348
April 29, 2019.
520
00:30:28,391 --> 00:30:33,309
Just a few miles south of theTibetan border, the Indian Army
521
00:30:33,353 --> 00:30:37,139
reports the discovery ofenormous footprints in the snow
522
00:30:37,183 --> 00:30:43,058
measuring an astounding 32
inches long by 15 inches wide.
523
00:30:43,145 --> 00:30:46,279
They identify the footprints
as having been made
524
00:30:46,322 --> 00:30:49,978
by the legendary monster
known as the yeti.
525
00:30:50,022 --> 00:30:53,982
SHIMKHADA: The yeti is some kindof a Himalayan monster
526
00:30:54,026 --> 00:30:57,551
that looked like a man,
that looked like an ape.
527
00:30:57,638 --> 00:31:00,815
This is a composite, uh, figure.
528
00:31:00,859 --> 00:31:05,733
Local people have seen it
in the snow, in the mountains.
529
00:31:05,820 --> 00:31:09,868
NARRATOR:
Tales of the yeti stretch back
to pre-Buddhist Tibet,
530
00:31:09,911 --> 00:31:12,871
where the shamanic mystics
of the Bon religion
531
00:31:12,914 --> 00:31:15,699
told of wild men
that guarded a hidden place
532
00:31:15,743 --> 00:31:19,225
of power and perfection
called Olmo Lung Ring,
533
00:31:19,268 --> 00:31:24,012
known in the Tibetan Buddhist
tradition as Shambhala.
534
00:31:24,056 --> 00:31:26,362
The yeti have this reputation
of being extremely violent
535
00:31:26,406 --> 00:31:28,408
and aggressive towards humans.
536
00:31:28,495 --> 00:31:30,845
And one explanation for this
is because they're considered
537
00:31:30,889 --> 00:31:33,326
to be the guardians
of Shambhala.
538
00:31:33,369 --> 00:31:36,764
Keeping away all those
that are not pure of heart
539
00:31:36,851 --> 00:31:40,072
from entering into
this holiest of holy places.
540
00:31:40,115 --> 00:31:42,813
CHILDRESS: When the early
British expeditions
541
00:31:42,857 --> 00:31:44,859
went through India into Tibet,
542
00:31:44,903 --> 00:31:46,905
they would stop
at Tibetan monasteries
543
00:31:46,992 --> 00:31:48,689
on their way to Mount Everest
544
00:31:48,732 --> 00:31:50,343
and they would be told
about yetis.
545
00:31:50,386 --> 00:31:52,693
And that yetis were guardians
546
00:31:52,736 --> 00:31:55,304
of the entrances to Shambhala.
547
00:31:55,391 --> 00:31:59,918
NARRATOR:Monsters guarding the entrancesto the land of the gods?
548
00:32:00,005 --> 00:32:03,182
While it may sound
like the stuff of legend,
549
00:32:03,225 --> 00:32:05,793
ancient astronaut theorists
suggest there is
550
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,795
disturbing evidence
that may prove
551
00:32:07,882 --> 00:32:11,233
such stories are,
in fact, very real.
552
00:32:13,366 --> 00:32:16,717
Uttarakhand, India.
553
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,068
16,000 feet high
in the Himalayas,
554
00:32:20,112 --> 00:32:23,028
just 40 miles
from the Tibetan border,
555
00:32:23,071 --> 00:32:25,247
lies Roopkund Lake.
556
00:32:25,291 --> 00:32:29,077
While it has become
a popular tourist destination,
557
00:32:29,121 --> 00:32:32,254
those who approach this small,
picturesque body of water
558
00:32:32,298 --> 00:32:34,778
are confronted
with a chilling sight...
559
00:32:34,822 --> 00:32:37,216
because Roopkund Lake
is littered
560
00:32:37,259 --> 00:32:41,568
with the remains
of over 600 human bodies.
561
00:32:43,439 --> 00:32:46,921
For decades,scientists assumed that the dead
562
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:50,620
had fallen victimto a single massive catastrophe.
563
00:32:50,664 --> 00:32:54,668
But in 2019, DNA sampling
564
00:32:54,755 --> 00:32:56,800
revealed that
the bodies contained
565
00:32:56,844 --> 00:32:58,933
in what has been dubbed
"Skeleton Lake"
566
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:01,066
did not all die at once,
567
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:02,981
but at different points in time,
568
00:33:03,024 --> 00:33:07,507
over a period
of at least a thousand years.
569
00:33:07,594 --> 00:33:11,206
Some of the skeletons, uh,
had, uh, what they said were,
570
00:33:11,293 --> 00:33:16,342
um... unhealed compression
fractures on the head.
571
00:33:16,385 --> 00:33:20,476
Were they murdered by, like,
being hammered on the head
572
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,609
and then thrown into this lake?
573
00:33:22,652 --> 00:33:26,134
So researchers were baffled
by this whole thing.
574
00:33:26,178 --> 00:33:27,918
And the more information
that came out of this lake,
575
00:33:27,962 --> 00:33:29,877
the stranger it became.
576
00:33:32,053 --> 00:33:36,231
SHIMKHADA:
Recently, Indian scientists
have performed
577
00:33:36,275 --> 00:33:40,888
DNA testing on those bones
in Roopkund.
578
00:33:40,975 --> 00:33:43,934
They have found
many South Asians
579
00:33:43,978 --> 00:33:45,458
and some East Asians--
580
00:33:45,501 --> 00:33:48,548
meaning Chinese and Koreans--
581
00:33:48,635 --> 00:33:50,854
and of course
some from the West,
582
00:33:50,898 --> 00:33:54,162
you know, for example
Mediterranean region.
583
00:33:54,206 --> 00:33:56,860
So that is really intriguing,
you know, how these people
584
00:33:56,904 --> 00:34:00,603
wound up there,
uh, that's baffling.
585
00:34:00,690 --> 00:34:03,998
NARRATOR:
What could have drawn people
from all over the world
586
00:34:04,042 --> 00:34:07,175
to make the treacherous journeyto this very small
587
00:34:07,219 --> 00:34:09,525
and remote mountain lake?
588
00:34:09,569 --> 00:34:12,180
And not just
at a single point in time,
589
00:34:12,224 --> 00:34:15,401
but continuously
for hundreds of years?
590
00:34:17,490 --> 00:34:18,839
LACHMAN:
Roopkund Lake is
591
00:34:18,882 --> 00:34:20,971
on the pilgrims' trail, uh, to
592
00:34:21,015 --> 00:34:22,582
uh, Mount Kailash, which is,
593
00:34:22,669 --> 00:34:25,715
uh, one of the central, uh, uh,
594
00:34:25,759 --> 00:34:29,545
geographic sites
in-in, um, Hindu
595
00:34:29,589 --> 00:34:31,721
and-and Tibetan and Buddhist,
uh, religion.
596
00:34:31,765 --> 00:34:34,855
These people at different timescould have been
597
00:34:34,898 --> 00:34:37,075
on the pilgrimage path.
598
00:34:37,118 --> 00:34:40,600
HENRY: If the yeti is consideredto be the guardian of Shambhala,
599
00:34:40,687 --> 00:34:43,907
and if Shambhala is Kailash,
then it makes perfect sense
600
00:34:43,951 --> 00:34:47,346
why the yeti is somehow taking
these people, killing them,
601
00:34:47,389 --> 00:34:49,391
harming them, and throwing themin Skeleton Lake.
602
00:34:49,478 --> 00:34:51,263
[growling]
603
00:34:51,306 --> 00:34:54,353
NARRATOR:
Could the bones found
at Skeleton Lake
604
00:34:54,396 --> 00:34:56,920
belong to pilgrims
who were seeking
605
00:34:56,964 --> 00:35:00,098
Shambhala and fell victim
to the yeti?
606
00:35:00,141 --> 00:35:02,883
Although there have been
numerous reported sightings
607
00:35:02,926 --> 00:35:06,408
of yetis in Tibet,
no reliable physical proof
608
00:35:06,452 --> 00:35:09,716
of their existence has been
successfully retrieved.
609
00:35:09,759 --> 00:35:14,112
In fact, these mysterious beingsare often reported
610
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:18,377
as simply vanishing
into thin air.
611
00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:22,468
In 1951, the world-famous
mountaineer Eric Shipton
612
00:35:22,555 --> 00:35:24,383
was on his way to Mount Everest.
613
00:35:24,426 --> 00:35:26,733
He's at 19,000 feet.
614
00:35:26,776 --> 00:35:29,388
And all of a sudden,
he sees these giant
615
00:35:29,431 --> 00:35:31,912
footprints in the snow.
616
00:35:31,955 --> 00:35:34,349
And he follows them
for over a mile
617
00:35:34,393 --> 00:35:36,612
until they disappear
into the glacier.
618
00:35:36,656 --> 00:35:39,920
The yeti could, in fact, be
an interdimensional creature,
619
00:35:39,963 --> 00:35:42,227
capable of either
cloaking itself
620
00:35:42,270 --> 00:35:44,925
or disappearing
into other realms.
621
00:35:44,968 --> 00:35:48,624
Perhaps they are not
physical biological beings,
622
00:35:48,668 --> 00:35:50,583
but are some sort
of interdimensional
623
00:35:50,626 --> 00:35:52,280
class of entities,
which is able
624
00:35:52,324 --> 00:35:54,804
to appear and disappear at will.
625
00:35:54,848 --> 00:35:58,112
And manifest themselves at willto stop those
626
00:35:58,156 --> 00:36:00,462
who are not supposed
to enter certain areas.
627
00:36:00,506 --> 00:36:04,162
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that both the yeti
628
00:36:04,205 --> 00:36:06,642
and the kingdom of Shambhala
that it is said to protect
629
00:36:06,686 --> 00:36:09,819
are not only extraterrestrial,
630
00:36:09,863 --> 00:36:11,995
but also interdimensional?
631
00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:16,348
Might this explain
why they remain so elusive?
632
00:36:16,391 --> 00:36:20,961
Some modern researchers,
people like Jacques Vallée,
633
00:36:21,004 --> 00:36:23,006
John Keel, amongst others,
634
00:36:23,050 --> 00:36:26,358
have drawn the conclusion
that maybe we're not really
635
00:36:26,401 --> 00:36:30,318
dealing with extraterrestrials
from outerspace,
636
00:36:30,362 --> 00:36:36,455
but ultra-terrestrials were
coming from parallelspace.
637
00:36:36,498 --> 00:36:40,807
That's exactly
what masters of mysticism
638
00:36:40,850 --> 00:36:43,026
and experiences
of the prophetic traditions
639
00:36:43,070 --> 00:36:44,985
have been saying
for thousands of years.
640
00:36:45,028 --> 00:36:47,205
NARRATOR:
If a gateway
641
00:36:47,292 --> 00:36:49,990
leading into another dimension
exists somewhere
642
00:36:50,033 --> 00:36:53,036
in Tibet, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,
643
00:36:53,123 --> 00:36:56,388
could it be a site
where extraterrestrials--
644
00:36:56,475 --> 00:36:58,694
or, perhaps,
ultra-terrestrials--
645
00:36:58,738 --> 00:37:01,044
are entering our world?
646
00:37:01,088 --> 00:37:06,049
And might it also be possible
for us to enter theirs?
647
00:37:06,093 --> 00:37:09,052
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
648
00:37:09,096 --> 00:37:11,881
that the key to accessing
this cosmic paradise
649
00:37:11,925 --> 00:37:16,059
may not lie in travelingto a secret location in Tibet...
650
00:37:16,103 --> 00:37:20,499
but in mastering an ancient
technique of the mind.
651
00:37:26,461 --> 00:37:28,376
NARRATOR:
Seda County, China.
652
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:32,075
December 11, 2015.
653
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:35,905
In the southeast region
of the Tibetan plateau,
654
00:37:35,949 --> 00:37:38,212
renowned Tibetan Buddhist monk
655
00:37:38,256 --> 00:37:41,911
Lama Thubser has been ina state of continuous meditation
656
00:37:41,998 --> 00:37:44,349
for seven straight days,
657
00:37:44,392 --> 00:37:47,352
engaged in a practice
that is said
658
00:37:47,395 --> 00:37:50,703
to go back some 10,000 years.
659
00:37:50,746 --> 00:37:53,183
He is attempting
to attain what is known
660
00:37:53,227 --> 00:37:56,099
as the "rainbow light body."
661
00:37:56,143 --> 00:37:59,189
Tibetan Buddhists believe that
through meditation practices
662
00:37:59,233 --> 00:38:04,107
like this, it is possible
to access alternate realms.
663
00:38:04,151 --> 00:38:07,589
And that this may be
where the kingdom of Shambhala
664
00:38:07,633 --> 00:38:10,026
truly exists.
665
00:38:10,070 --> 00:38:14,466
You will find people within
Tibetan Buddhist tradition
666
00:38:14,553 --> 00:38:18,165
who believe that Shambhala
isan actual place.
667
00:38:18,252 --> 00:38:21,951
But it may be what we mightcall an interdimensional place.
668
00:38:22,038 --> 00:38:27,479
So it cannot be accessed through
ordinary material techniques.
669
00:38:27,522 --> 00:38:32,005
But it exists in another
dimension, so to speak.
670
00:38:32,092 --> 00:38:35,922
NARRATOR:Is it possible that the conceptof the rainbow light body
671
00:38:35,965 --> 00:38:38,490
holds the key
to reaching an alien realm
672
00:38:38,577 --> 00:38:40,666
that exists on Earth?
673
00:38:40,753 --> 00:38:44,278
And is there any evidence that
such a transformative process
674
00:38:44,322 --> 00:38:46,933
could actually take place?
675
00:38:46,976 --> 00:38:50,632
Recently, scientists havediscovered that the human body,
676
00:38:50,676 --> 00:38:52,591
particularly in the brain,
677
00:38:52,634 --> 00:38:57,465
naturally produces light
in the form of biophotons.
678
00:38:57,509 --> 00:39:03,123
The average person emits
14 to 20 photons
679
00:39:03,166 --> 00:39:06,692
by centimeter square per second.
680
00:39:06,779 --> 00:39:09,129
This is very, very low.
681
00:39:09,172 --> 00:39:12,872
But in a state of meditation,
682
00:39:12,959 --> 00:39:16,005
you are able
to raise that number
683
00:39:16,049 --> 00:39:20,749
by 100,000 photons per
centimeter square per second,
684
00:39:20,793 --> 00:39:23,796
which is extremely bright.
685
00:39:23,839 --> 00:39:25,972
This tells us that
when we are in a higher state
686
00:39:26,015 --> 00:39:31,369
of consciousness, our bodies
emit a huge amount of light.
687
00:39:31,412 --> 00:39:35,895
And perhaps that is the reason
why we call it enlightenment.
688
00:39:39,855 --> 00:39:43,163
NARRATOR:
Tibetan Buddhists say that
when a highly trained priest
689
00:39:43,206 --> 00:39:46,166
commits himself to attainment
of the rainbow light body,
690
00:39:46,209 --> 00:39:49,561
his material body
will fade away.
691
00:39:49,648 --> 00:39:52,781
Photographs taken by those
in attendance
692
00:39:52,825 --> 00:39:55,654
on the seventh day
of Lama Thubser's meditation
693
00:39:55,697 --> 00:39:59,048
provide an incredibly
rare documentation
694
00:39:59,135 --> 00:40:01,224
of this sacred process.
695
00:40:01,268 --> 00:40:05,925
As his breathing stops and his
physical body begins to die,
696
00:40:06,012 --> 00:40:09,015
it dramatically
decreases in size.
697
00:40:09,058 --> 00:40:11,017
According to the monks,
698
00:40:11,060 --> 00:40:13,933
he has dissolved into light.
699
00:40:14,020 --> 00:40:18,198
And a final photograph reveals
a beam of light shooting up
700
00:40:18,241 --> 00:40:22,028
into the sky from the site
of his transformation.
701
00:40:38,218 --> 00:40:40,699
HENRY: In the Tibetan tradition,they tell us that once a Lama
702
00:40:40,742 --> 00:40:42,440
has achieved
this state of being,
703
00:40:42,483 --> 00:40:46,269
that they're able to then
travel to 12 star systems
704
00:40:46,356 --> 00:40:48,576
where this teaching is taught,
that are all connected
705
00:40:48,620 --> 00:40:51,449
with the Earth,
and that beings come and go,
706
00:40:51,492 --> 00:40:53,929
bringing this teaching
and enlightening
707
00:40:53,973 --> 00:40:57,977
all other civilizations
they come into contact with.
708
00:40:58,064 --> 00:41:00,719
The rainbow light body, it is
an extraterrestrial teaching
709
00:41:00,762 --> 00:41:04,766
that was imported to Earth
from other star systems.
710
00:41:04,810 --> 00:41:09,292
TZADOK:
Right now, very few
make the efforts
711
00:41:09,379 --> 00:41:12,774
to learn how to expand
consciousness,
712
00:41:12,818 --> 00:41:15,516
to interact
with our parallel dimensions.
713
00:41:15,603 --> 00:41:19,085
But the future is
to bring the worlds together.
714
00:41:19,128 --> 00:41:22,958
This is what the biblical
tradition teaches
715
00:41:23,002 --> 00:41:25,439
when it says everyone
will know the truth.
716
00:41:25,483 --> 00:41:27,485
There will be
enlightenment for all.
717
00:41:28,921 --> 00:41:30,444
NARRATOR:
Could it be that high
718
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:32,098
in the mountains of Tibet,
719
00:41:32,141 --> 00:41:35,318
there is a gateway
into another dimension?
720
00:41:35,405 --> 00:41:40,149
And if so, is it possible
that this alternate realm
721
00:41:40,193 --> 00:41:44,110
can only be accessed through
a state of enlightenment?
722
00:41:44,153 --> 00:41:48,157
Perhaps as science begins
to understand more
723
00:41:48,244 --> 00:41:50,333
about human consciousness,
724
00:41:50,377 --> 00:41:52,292
we will learn
what the Tibetan masters
725
00:41:52,335 --> 00:41:55,164
have known for centuries.
726
00:41:55,208 --> 00:41:57,776
That we can reach
the stars not only
727
00:41:57,819 --> 00:41:59,778
by mastering technology
728
00:41:59,821 --> 00:42:04,478
but by mastering
the power of the human mind.
729
