[THEME MUSIC]

GREGG BRADEN: My name is Gregg Braden.

I'd like to welcome you to this very special presentation

of "Missing Links," the deep truth of our origin, history,

destiny, and fate.

And the last episode, we discovered

that the scientific evidence for civilizations

simply don't fit the traditional timeline for our past.

From Caral, Peru, and the Great Sphinx

in Egypt to Turkey's Gobekli Tepe

now dated into the last ice age, we

saw examples of evidence that was once discounted by science,

but now it's scientifically accepted.

Well, in this episode, I'm inviting you on a journey.

And it's a journey that goes beyond what's

accepted by conventional science today,

the evidence that turns history upside down.

And, in some respects, it's going

to sound like science fiction.

The thing is, while these discoveries may sound

like fiction, they're not.

They're real.

And because they are real, we have to make room for them

in the story of our past.

New dating techniques are now revealing brand new clues

about the mystery of our past.

And they're also revealing a new and entirely new class

of artifacts that we've never seen before.

They're called OOP Arts, which stands for Out

Of Place Artifacts.

So I want to talk to you about Out Of Place Artifacts.

What are they?

What do they mean?

And what do they say to us about our past?

The idea is that when we look into the Earth, the deeper we

go into the Earth's crust, the older the rock layers become.

It makes perfect sense.

So the newer layers are on top the.

Older layers are at the bottom.

And the reason that this is important

is because scientists use this principle to help

determine the age of artifacts.

When they find an artifact deep in the Earth,

in a layer of coal, for example, the thinking

is that the artifact had to be in place when that coal was

being developed, and in the case of coal,

that means hundreds of thousands of years ago.

So this is important.

It was in 1700s and the 1800s when technology brought us

to the point where we could actually drill into the Earth.

And it was through the drill bits that were coming up

in the coal seams of the Carolinas and Virginia

here in America and in Russia and other parts

of the world-- all of a sudden in these coal

seams the researchers began finding and the engineers

began finding artifacts that simply should not be existing

in those coal seams.

They're called Out Of Place Artifacts

because they don't fit the traditional timeline for what

should have been happening in that layer of Earth

at the time.

So I'm just going to share with you a sampling of these,

because we could do an entire program based only on Out

Of Place Artifacts.

But the point is they begin to tell us a story.

So let's look at some of the confirmed examples of Out

Of Place Artifacts.

And again, this is only a sampling of discoveries

that are being made.

The first one I want to talk about it to me

is one of the most profound.

It's called the Antikythera machine.

It was actually discovered by divers off the shore of Crete

in 1901.

1901, the divers were looking for other kinds of artifacts,

and they found this encrusted conglomerate of something

they had never seen before.

Now, bear in mind this is 1901.

This is the turn of centuries ago-- not last century,

but the century before.

And when they brought this artifact

to the surface, what they saw encrusted in the shells

and in the sediment that was there

were a series of gears, very sophisticated gears,

in a way that had never been seen before.

Well, they took this artifact, they preserved it.

They couldn't explain it.

And it wasn't until X-rays became a little bit more

sophisticated that the exhale rays were

able to actually penetrate the sediment

and revealed inside something even more profound,

the really sophisticated variable gears

that interlock with one another in a way that had never

been seen in the world before.

The interesting thing is that the artifact

was dated to about 80 BCE, Before Common Era, which

means it's over 2000 years old.

So the question is, over 2000 years ago,

number one, who had the technology

to make this kind of gear?

Number two, who had the technology to take these gears

and apply them in the machine that is now being suspected

as an astronomical device to help calculate

the movements of stars and planets

in the heavens in the way that we did

see until later in the 20th century?

So this is an example of an Out Of Place Artifact.

But there are others.

Now, I'm going to go from some of the most recent, backward

in geologic time, just to give you a sense of what scientists

are dealing with.

Because remember, science is telling us

through that pyramid of thinking that we

saw in an earlier episode that civilization

is only 5,000 years old.

That's the problem when we start finding things like this.

What you're looking at on your screen right now

is a clay human figure that was found in Nampa, Idaho.

It was discovered by drilling a well.

It was a water well 300 feet deep.

And that 300 feet placed the drill into the geologic strata

that we call the Pleistocene.

So this is the Pleistocene Age.

That is about 1.2 million years before present.

So just for reference, humans only

appeared on Earth about 200,000 years ago,

is what we're finding.

So the question is, what is this clay figurine, a little bit

larger than the size of an American dime,

you're seeing for scale on the screen-- what

is that figurine doing in Pleistocene strata that's

now being dated at 1.2 million years?

Scientists can't answer that.

That is why it is an Out Of Place Artifact.

Now we're going to go back a little further,

and this is a particularly fascinating artifact for me.

This was found in northern Russia in Lebinsk.

And if you look closely, what you're

seeing in this piece of rock is what looks to be a microchip.

It's a microchip that should not be

where it is because this rock comes from an even older period

in geologic history.

It comes from the Permian period.

That's around 225 to 250 million years before present.

This cannot be hoaxed, because this chip is actually embedded

in the strata, and the strata was made 225 to 250 million

years ago.

How does this happen?

What is it telling us about our past?

This is one of the great mysteries

that researchers are struggling with right now.

But it goes even further.

I live in northern New Mexico, and it

was in New Mexico in 1987 that a researcher found what you're

seeing on the screen right now, and it

is just what it looks like it.

Is a human footprint.

And it's not just a piece of a human footprint.

This is a fully formed, very well developed human footprint.

The problem is this footprint is in Permian strata, a time

from the Permian period, that's about 290 million years before

present.

Again, just for reference, humans first

appeared only 200,000 years ago.

So what is a fully formed human footprint doing in strata

that's 290 million years old?

In the Ordovician period, a group of scientists

discovered what you're seeing right now,

and it is just what it looks like.

This is an iron hammer on a wooden shaft that

was found in a town in Texas.

It's called London, Texas.

It was found in 1934.

And this cannot be hoaxed.

The shaft is actually embedded into the strata.

And the wood in the shaft has been there

so long it's actually becoming carbonized into coal.

So the shaft of this hammer is turning into coal.

How did this hammer get into 400-million-year-old strata?

But it doesn't stop there.

And I wanted to share this with you

before we bring this all together and then take it

to the next step.

In South Africa, one of the great mysteries--

it was found years ago-- was an entire field

of spheres that are made of a metal that

is not native to our planet as we know it today.

It's been combined, an alloy, in a way that

does not happen naturally.

But the thing is, the spheres are all machined.

That they have machined grooves around them.

Some of them are very large.

They're feet in diameter.

Some of them are only a few centimeters or inches

in diameter.

You're seeing some on the screen right now.

But here's the thing.

These mysterious spheres in South Africa

are now being dated-- look at this-- 570 million years

before present.

Now, I just want to give you some context.

What you're seeing is a geologic map of time.

You're seeing the most recent at the top,

and the oldest strata, again, is at the bottom.

And we've talked about the Permian,

the Ordovician periods, the Pleistocene period

near the top.

These spheres are coming from a time

at the bottom of the geologic time table before life began.

At this time, if there was life, it

was only primitive, single cell, maybe amoebas,

very primitive biological life.

It's called Pre-Cambrian period.

So this is the mystery.

What are these technologically advanced, machined spheres

doing in South Africa at a time when, not only are there

no humans, but the most advanced forms of life

known at that time were single cells?

Now you're getting a sense of what Out Of Place Artifacts

are all about.

There are so many Out Of Place Artifacts that scientists

now, again, put them into a separate pile, and they said,

you know, these don't fit the traditional story.

We're going to have to come back and look at these later.

Well, later is now.

Because there are so many anomalies,

they're saying there must be another story,

or at the very least, the story that we've embraced

is incomplete.

Let me be really clear about this.

I'm not saying it's wrong.

I'm saying there's a good chance that it's incomplete.

We have only gleaned a small part of our true history.

So the question is, how far back do these Out Of Place Artifacts

go?

Here's an even bigger question.

Are they confined only to this planet?

Are they confined only to Earth?

Or is it possible we can find Out

Of Place Artifacts in other places, maybe like the moon?

Well, something very interesting has happened.

In the year 2016, so very, very recently,

NASA has just released its entire archive

of lunar images, images taken of the lunar surface,

from the Apollo missions, all the way from 1961,

when they began, through 1972.

There are things on these images that NASA cannot explain.

So they are called anomalous images.

Some of them are so anomalous that they have been pixelated

out so that we can't really see what they are,

but we can still see the pixels.

So there's something happening on the moon,

and I want you to see some of these images,

just a couple of them.

I was an amateur archeologist when I was in college.

And one of the things, the very first things,

that I learned as an archeologist is this.

When we see 90-degree angles on an archeological site,

that tells us that it is, in fact, an archeological site,

that it is not a natural formation.

Nature does not erode with wind in 90-degree angles,

or nature does not erode through a stream or a river

in 90-degree angles.

So when you see a 90-degree angle

like you're seeing on your screen right now,

this is an excavated archeological site

that we're seeing in aerial view.

And it's very clear to see-- the red lines are showing us

where that 90-degree angle is.

The next damage that you're seeing,

this is from the surface of the moon.

And this is among the images that NASA released.

You're seeing on the lower right-hand portion

of the screen, you can see what looks like a little cube.

And then in the upper right-hand portion,

you're seeing what definitely is an enlargement of that cube.

Those are definitely 90-degree angles.

They are definitely made intentionally.

They are not the result of erosion.

The question is, what are they doing on the moon?

We have been led to believe that the moon is a sterile

surface, that there is no life existing on the moon,

nor has there ever been.

So when we begin to see things like this--

and again, these images are from 1961 through 1972--

what do they mean?

Well, if it was only one image, you'd say,

maybe it's just a trick of light,

a trick of light and shadow.

But it's not just one image.

I want you to see some of the other images

that NASA is releasing.

The Clementine mission to the moon

came later, after the Apollo missions.

So Clementine was a separate mission

that went back to the moon, maybe

to look a little closer at some of the anomalies

that Apollo was seeing.

It's the Clementine images that we're finding pixilated,

although they are released to the public.

So you're seeing one now.

There's obviously something here in the image

that you're seeing that for whatever reason,

we're not being allowed to see.

What could that be on the surface of the moon?

What is the Out Of Place Artifact that we're not seeing?

Here's another one that looks more like some kind of a tower,

perhaps, of some kind or an obelisk that's

been pixeled out.

These are from the Clementine mission.

Now, when people see things like this on the moon,

the first thing that comes to mind

is aliens, ETs, UFOs, things like that.

And I fully believe, I'm certain,

that we are not alone in this universe.

It would make no sense for us to be.

That there's an overwhelming body of evidence suggesting now

that other life forms have been with us for a very long time,

both in our world and in other worlds.

The astronauts have talked about this, those

that have been interviewed.

But I'm going to give you just a little bit different

perspective.

This is the year 2016.

We are living a time of extremes.

We are living a time when the cycles of conflict

are ramping up through the year 2020.

You don't need me to tell you that.

You can feel the tension in the world, the push toward war.

Doesn't mean that war needs to happen,

but there are multiple places and hotspots where

you can see right now it wouldn't

take much to create that.

OK, at the same time, something else is happening.

During the Cold War years, there were only two nations

that had the money and the technology

to go to the moon, the former USSR, former Soviet

Union, and the former United States of America.

And I have to say that because both nations are

so broke right now that we're not going back

to the moon, at least in the way that we have in the past.

But there are other nations that are going to the moon.

During the Cold War, even though the former Soviet Union

and former United States of America

were at war on one level, it was a very civilized war

in some respects, because there were

agreements among scientists on other levels.

One of those agreements was that things

that were found on the moon, for whatever reason,

were not publicly shared among the people

of the Earth at the time.

And I'm not going to say it's right, wrong, good, or bad.

There were research programs that

said that certain kinds of information

could disrupt the fabric of society

and overturn religious beliefs.

And again, it was another world.

This was the '60s and the '70s.

But the point is those agreements were honored,

and I think that's one of the reasons we're not

seeing some of these images.

The nations that are now on their way to the moon,

the nations that have the money and the technology

and the will to return, were not part of those agreements.

China, for example, India are both on their way to the moon.

And both nations have said that when they land on the moon,

they will televise to the people of the Earth whatever

it is that they find live as they find it.

Here's why I believe this is important.

And this is a place where I'm moving

beyond peer-reviewed science.

I'm sharing with you my perspective,

my sense, my belief.

When we find those Out Of Place Artifacts on the moon,

when we find archeological remnants

of intentional civilization in a place where

we used to be hoping to find microbes-- we were looking

for life, hoping to find microscopic life,

and now we're finding entire temple complexes,

is what appears to be on those images.

When we find those, my sense is that we're

going to discover something that could be the most powerful,

the most unifying experienced the people

in our global family, the people of Earth, could ever have.

Because my sense is that when we go into those ancient sites,

we're going to find the hieroglyphs on the walls.

We're going to find writing in languages

that we already know in the original languages called

root languages of the Earth-- Hebrew, Sanskrit, Cuneiform,

Arabic.

And the reason we're finding them

there is because those sites are not necessarily

alien ET UFO sites.

I believe there are sites that were developed

by us from another cycle of another civilization, when

we worked together as a family on this planet,

when we cooperated and achieved great and beautiful things.

And my question is, if we were able to do things

like that in the past, how much further

could we go if we did the same thing right now

with what we know today?

Here's the beauty.

Here we are on the verge of war at a time when the cycles are

converging, creating the tension in a time of extremes,

and at exactly that time, we may find the evidence of us

from another time that has the power to unify us

rather than divide us.

And I think we're going to see that

very soon in our lifetimes.

So what would that mean?

Would it mean if we found something like that?

And when we look at the advanced civilizations on Earth,

why did those civilizations collapse?

What happened in the past?

Is there something that could have happened then

that we've forgotten?

Or maybe we chose to forget, because whatever

it was was so painful we didn't want to carry it

into future civilizations.

I'm going to share with you another

Out Of Place Artifact, an ancient clue

that it is happening in what is now Pakistan.

It is in an area that used to be between India and Pakistan,

ancient, ancient sites, archeological sites,

such as Mohenjo Daro and Harappa.

And we've known about these sites for a while.

They're about 5,000 years before present,

is when we say they originated.

Interestingly, it's the beginning of the last cycle,

and it also happens to be at the time of the last great climate

change.

What we're finding is evidence of an advanced society,

an advanced society that had things in their time

that we have in ours today.

They had knowledge of mathematics

and chemistry, architecture, advanced architecture,

multi-story buildings.

They had closed, indoor plumbing,

hot and cold running water, flush toilets,

stained glass in their windows.

They even had buried pipelines, where

there have been wires and remnants of cables

and what are believed to be ancient batteries found

in these sites.

So clearly, these were not primitive grass huts.

These were advanced technological civilizations,

and they had more.

They had amazing art, beautiful art,

using techniques of sculpture that we're only beginning

to use now in the 20th century.

But there are a lot of mysteries in these sites.

One of the mysteries is this.

When the archeologists began to uncover the sites,

they found human skeletons.

The skeletons were not arranged randomly.

They were toward one end of the city

and, to quote the words of one of the archeologists,

they were in "postures of flight."

That means they were running from something.

They were moving in one direction.

Some of the skeletons, the bodies

were holding one another for comfort.

Some of them were families.

Some of them were individuals.

There were animals that were some with them.

They had their pets.

But here's the thing.

Some of those skeletons have a higher degree of radioactivity

than they should have just from being in the ground

from background radiation.

And this has been a big mystery to the scientists

for a long time.

You're seeing an image on your screen,

an actual photograph of some of the bodies

and the way they're arranged right now.

The scientists, archeologists also

began to find evidence of what is called vitrified stone.

What that means is that in the walls of the homes,

for example, or in the floors made of quartz or granite that

is made of quartz and feldspar and mica, some of the minerals,

while they're still in place, they've

been exposed to a heat that was so intense it melted

the minerals in place-- a high, intense, rapid heat that

melted these minerals in place.

And one of the mysteries-- the archeologists

began to find these mysterious lumps of something.

And it took them a while to understand

that what they were looking at were lumps of clay that

used to be clay vases and clay dolls for children

that had also been vitrified.

They were exposed to a rapid, intense heat.

They were melted so quickly all that's left now

is a stone ball.

So these kinds of things are the mysteries.

The scientists are saying, what happened?

What could have happened in this part of the world?

Well, this is one of those places where we have

to look beyond the evidence.

If you look only at the evidence,

you'll never understand what it is that happened.

We need context.

And some of that context is coming from the oral traditions

of this part of the world from the Hindu traditions

of the Mahabharata, and specifically

in the Bhagavad Gita, which is a small portion

of the Mahabharata.

This portion of the Mahabharata tells a story

of an ancient battle that happened

between two advanced civilizations a long time ago.

It doesn't give the exact dates.

And as these two civilizations clashed, one of them

began to lose the battle, and they

resorted to using a weapon that had never

been used before-- a technology that

had never been used before.

And they wrote about what the effects of this weapon

were in a way that made no sense until the 20th century

because we had nothing to compare it to.

I'd like to read portions of this

to you for accuracy right now.

So the ancient Mahabharata says specifically,

and I'm going to read these texts.

This is a quote.

"A single projectile charged with all the power

of the universe, an incandescent column of smoke and flame

as bright as 1,000 suns, rose in all its splendor,

a perpendicular explosion with its billowing smoke clouds,

the cloud of smoke rising after its first explosion formed

into expanding, round circles, like the opening

of giant parasols."

It's this next piece that I think is so telling.

This is a direct quote.

It says, "It was an unknown weapon, an iron thunderbolt,

a gigantic messenger of death, which

reduced to ashes the entire race of the Vrishnis"

and the other people who were there.

"The corpses were so burned as to be

unrecognizable the hair and the fingernails fell out.

Pottery broke without apparent cause.

And the birds turned white in the sky and fell.

After a few hours, all foodstuffs were infected.

To escape from this fire, the soldiers

threw themselves into the streams

to wash themselves and their equipment."

Where did that description come from?

What could have been seen in the eyes of the people living

in Mohenjo Daro 5,000 years ago to prompt them

to describe something that made no sense

until the 20th century?

Does Mohenjo Daro offer evidence of the unthinkable?

And this is a question that scientists are

asking themselves right now.

The father of the nuclear age, the atomic bomb, Robert

Oppenheimer, after the detonation

of the first nuclear device, he was being interviewed

at Rochester University.

And the interviewer asked Robert Oppenheimer a question.

And it's such a telling question.

The answer that he gave was so unexpected.

Listen to the question, and listen to the answer.

The student asked Mr. Oppenheimer,

he said, how do you feel after having exploded

the first atomic bomb on Earth?

Oppenheimer answered, and he said, well,

not the first atomic bomb, he said, but the first atomic bomb

in modern times.

We knew the world would not be the same.

A few people laughed.

A few people cried.

Most people were silent.

I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture,

the Bhagavad Gita, Vishnu was trying

persuade the prince that he should

do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form

and says, "Now I am become death,

the destroyer of worlds."

I suppose we all though that one way or another.

GREGG: Interestingly, Robert Oppenheimer

was a student of the Mahabharata.

He was a student of the Bhagavad Gita.

And he is famously quoted as witnessing that first mushroom

cloud and saying under his breath,

"I have become death, the destroyer of worlds,"

which is a direct quote from the Mahabharata.

So Robert Oppenheimer firmly believed

that there had been nuclear devices on this Earth

from advanced civilizations in the past, and he's not alone.

Other scientists have sensed the same thing,

because they see the trajectory of civilization

and how the cycles ebb and flow and where we are in the cycles

today.

Well, this is all conjecture.

But it wasn't until Google Earth began

looking at this part of the world from another perspective,

from satellites, that they found what you're seeing

on your screen right now.

This is a Google Earth image.

It is obviously a crater.

The first thing that scientists did

when they saw this crater in the area

of these archeological sites, they said,

well, maybe an asteroid hit the earth a long time ago.

When they excavated through the bottom of this crater,

they found no evidence of any kind of impact

from an asteroid.

So the fact that this crater exists,

the fact that we have vitrified stone,

that we have vitrified clay vases and toys from children,

that we have radioactive skeletons in postures of flight

in an ancient city that is described in the text

as being the victim of an ancient war using a weapon that

never been used before, it brings all of this to a focus

and says, have we been here before?

Have we done this in the past?

Are we unconsciously living a cycle,

where technology advances in one particular way at one

particular time to the point where we are given the ability

to preserve or destroy all that we love, all that we cherish,

all that we hold dear, and are we at that point right now?

That's the question that we need to ask.

So we owe it to ourselves to answer this question.

What happened?

What happened to Mohenjo Daro so long ago?

What can we learn from what they left behind?

Well, in our next episode, we're going

to take this exploration beyond the temples

and the walls of advanced civilizations from the past.

We're going to discover the single truth that

has been so fundamental to every ancient technological and

indigenous civilization in the past.

It's a deep truth that a new discovery is forcing

modern science now to embrace.

Thank you for joining me for this program today,

and be sure to tune in for our next

all new episode, "Missing Links,"

the deep truth of our origin, history, destiny, and fate.
