1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,352
NARRATOR: Powerful
monarchs...
2
00:00:03,404 --> 00:00:06,422
ANDREW COLLINS: Ramses felt
that he should have absolute
3
00:00:06,424 --> 00:00:09,491
control over everything.
NARRATOR: ...ruling by
4
00:00:09,493 --> 00:00:12,428
divine right.
JONATHAN YOUNG: Tracing royal
5
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:16,081
lineage back to a god implies
great wisdom, almost celestial
6
00:00:16,083 --> 00:00:19,535
power.
NARRATOR: Centuries old
7
00:00:19,537 --> 00:00:23,272
dynasties amassing enormous
wealth.
8
00:00:23,274 --> 00:00:25,441
CHARLES MOSLEY: The royal
family is one of the most
9
00:00:25,443 --> 00:00:27,443
successful organizations in the
world.
10
00:00:27,445 --> 00:00:30,879
NARRATOR: And legendary
leaders wielding powerful
11
00:00:30,881 --> 00:00:35,784
weapons of mass destruction.
PHILIP COPPENS: What we're
12
00:00:35,786 --> 00:00:38,454
being told is that this was
extraterrestrial technology.
13
00:00:38,456 --> 00:00:41,774
NARRATOR: Did the power and
authority of the world's great
14
00:00:41,776 --> 00:00:46,278
kings come from mortal deeds?
Or was it granted from
15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,298
otherworldly sources?
DAVID CHILDRESS: The rulers
16
00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:52,468
saw themselves as direct
descendents of gods,
17
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:56,038
and those gods, apparently,
were extraterrestrials.
18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,808
NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have
19
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:04,146
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
20
00:01:04,148 --> 00:01:08,484
What if it were true?
Did ancient aliens really help
21
00:01:08,486 --> 00:01:14,223
to shape our history?
And if so, might they have
22
00:01:14,225 --> 00:01:19,094
guided us through our
emperors, kings and pharaohs?
23
00:01:19,096 --> 00:01:59,768
Westminster Abbey, London.
June 2, 1953.
24
00:01:59,770 --> 00:02:05,707
27 year old Elizabeth Alexandra
Mary is crowned Queen Elizabeth
25
00:02:05,709 --> 00:02:08,977
II of England.
She has inherited the British
26
00:02:08,979 --> 00:02:15,217
throne following the death of
her father, King George VI.
27
00:02:15,219 --> 00:02:20,656
During the coronation ceremony,
the young monarch swears to
28
00:02:20,658 --> 00:02:25,661
uphold the laws of God and is
anointed with sacred oil.
29
00:02:25,663 --> 00:02:29,832
It is an initiation ritual that
has remained unchanged for more
30
00:02:29,834 --> 00:02:31,900
than a thousand years.
31
00:02:31,902 --> 00:02:35,137
DAVID WILCOCK: There's a very
interesting connection between
32
00:02:35,139 --> 00:02:39,575
the Bible and the British
monarchy.
33
00:02:39,577 --> 00:02:44,413
So when you've actually examined
the oath that the family would
34
00:02:44,415 --> 00:02:50,853
swear to, it describes the Bible
as the "Oracles of God."
35
00:02:50,855 --> 00:02:55,741
It is said in the Divine Right
of Kings that God chose and
36
00:02:55,743 --> 00:02:58,110
appointed these rulers.
37
00:02:58,112 --> 00:03:03,098
NARRATOR: Throughout human
history, powerful monarchs have
38
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:08,670
created laws, fought wars and
explored vast regions of the
39
00:03:08,672 --> 00:03:13,008
globe.
They have also used the wealth
40
00:03:13,010 --> 00:03:16,712
of their lands to wield
enormous power, and all while
41
00:03:16,714 --> 00:03:20,265
claiming that they have received
their authority from an even
42
00:03:20,267 --> 00:03:24,052
higher, otherworldly origin.
TOK THOMPSON: This is
43
00:03:24,054 --> 00:03:27,055
something we see a lot in
highly stratified societies,
44
00:03:27,057 --> 00:03:30,359
this belief that the royalty
actually was a different sort of
45
00:03:30,361 --> 00:03:32,861
person than the common man.
46
00:03:32,863 --> 00:03:35,614
And that therefore this somehow
justified their position at the
47
00:03:35,616 --> 00:03:38,033
top of the hierarchy.
And this is usually done
48
00:03:38,035 --> 00:03:41,286
religiously, to say that, in a
sense, the kings or the rulers
49
00:03:41,288 --> 00:03:45,624
or the pharaohs or whoever, were
to some degree, divine.
50
00:03:45,626 --> 00:03:48,744
COLLINS: There's no question
that those in control believed
51
00:03:48,746 --> 00:03:53,815
that they had the connection
with the divine, they had the
52
00:03:53,817 --> 00:03:57,252
connection with the gods,
they had the connection
53
00:03:57,254 --> 00:04:00,489
with the other world.
54
00:04:00,491 --> 00:04:04,927
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
ancient rulers were, in fact,
55
00:04:04,929 --> 00:04:08,480
connected to divine or, some
would say, extraterrestrial
56
00:04:08,482 --> 00:04:14,670
forces?
And if so, how?
57
00:04:14,672 --> 00:04:18,991
And what was their purpose?
According to ancient astronaut
58
00:04:18,993 --> 00:04:23,111
theorists, part of the answer
can be found by looking into the
59
00:04:23,113 --> 00:04:27,416
extraordinary origins of the
Egyptian pharaohs.
60
00:04:27,418 --> 00:04:37,676
Abu Simbel, Egypt.
Here on the western bank of Lake
61
00:04:37,678 --> 00:04:41,463
Nasser, are two massive rock
temples.
62
00:04:41,465 --> 00:04:45,133
Carved out of the mountainside,
they were built during the reign
63
00:04:45,135 --> 00:04:49,304
of Pharaoh Ramses II in the
13th century BC.
64
00:04:49,306 --> 00:04:53,775
GRAHAM PHILLIPS: Ramses II,
also known as Ramses The Great,
65
00:04:53,777 --> 00:04:57,646
was probably the greatest of the
builders of the ancient Egyptian
66
00:04:57,648 --> 00:04:59,982
pharaohs.
67
00:04:59,984 --> 00:05:04,052
He did this, basically, to
impress upon everybody just how
68
00:05:04,054 --> 00:05:09,041
great he was.
COLLINS: What he created
69
00:05:09,043 --> 00:05:13,895
was a series of absolutely
gigantic statues of himself,
70
00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:19,668
and certain gods which formed
the entrance into a rock cut
71
00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:26,675
series of inner temples,
shrines, and ruins.
72
00:05:26,677 --> 00:05:30,479
ROBERT BAUVAL: Ramses is
forever here.
73
00:05:30,481 --> 00:05:34,016
When one comes here, you almost
feel him around.
74
00:05:34,018 --> 00:05:37,252
He leaves this great temple
here, so that he could
75
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:41,523
constantly communicate with his
cosmic afterworld and his
76
00:05:41,525 --> 00:05:44,393
earthly domain.
77
00:05:46,829 --> 00:05:50,165
NARRATOR: Within the main
temple of Abu Simbel are statues
78
00:05:50,167 --> 00:05:54,703
of Ramses depicted, not just
as a mortal king and warrior,
79
00:05:54,705 --> 00:05:59,174
but as the Egyptian god of the
afterlife, Osiris.
80
00:05:59,176 --> 00:06:03,378
According to the Pyramid Texts,
ancient Egyptian religious
81
00:06:03,380 --> 00:06:07,716
writings that date back to the
24th century BC, Osiris was
82
00:06:07,718 --> 00:06:13,555
the offspring of the Earth god
Geb, and the sky goddess, Nut,
83
00:06:13,557 --> 00:06:17,559
and often portrayed as
green skinned.
84
00:06:17,561 --> 00:06:21,029
He was considered to be a wise
and beloved ruler who married
85
00:06:21,031 --> 00:06:25,734
his sister Isis, and was
murdered by his brother Set.
86
00:06:25,736 --> 00:06:30,572
BAUVAL: Osiris and Set were
in conflict.
87
00:06:30,574 --> 00:06:34,743
The story goes that Set, being
jealous of his more successful
88
00:06:34,745 --> 00:06:42,918
brother, kills him and cuts his
body into 14 pieces.
89
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:48,590
Isis, in despair, collects the
bodies and performs the first
90
00:06:48,592 --> 00:06:52,094
magical ritual of resurrection.
91
00:06:52,096 --> 00:06:55,430
YOUNG: Isis, the wife and
sister, finds a way to revive
92
00:06:55,432 --> 00:06:58,266
Osiris briefly and
conceive a son.
93
00:06:58,268 --> 00:07:01,269
The son is a god; the god Horus.
94
00:07:01,271 --> 00:07:06,274
BAUVAL: Horus grows up
and avenges his father,
95
00:07:06,276 --> 00:07:12,681
defeats Set, and becomes the
first Horus king of the land of
96
00:07:12,683 --> 00:07:16,451
Egypt, the cosmic land of Egypt,
the land of the gods.
97
00:07:16,453 --> 00:07:22,624
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
Ramses II was, as he claimed,
98
00:07:22,626 --> 00:07:27,295
an actual physical descendant
of Osiris?
99
00:07:27,297 --> 00:07:30,699
And if the legends are to be
believed, does this lineage
100
00:07:30,701 --> 00:07:34,603
suggest that Ramses was, in
fact, an extraterrestrial
101
00:07:34,605 --> 00:07:41,143
hybrid part human, part
so called god?
102
00:07:41,145 --> 00:07:43,879
ROBERT SCHOCH: As pharaoh,
Ramses considered himself the
103
00:07:43,881 --> 00:07:46,248
embodiment of Horus...
104
00:07:46,250 --> 00:07:54,156
...essentially, the sun god on
Earth during his lifetime, and
105
00:07:54,158 --> 00:07:59,327
then once he passed on to the
afterlife, he became essentially
106
00:07:59,329 --> 00:08:03,331
one with the gods, forming his
rightful place in the
107
00:08:03,333 --> 00:08:07,068
everlasting pantheons of the
gods.
108
00:08:07,070 --> 00:08:10,172
YOUNG: The myth of Osiris
was extremely important
109
00:08:10,174 --> 00:08:14,509
in the credibility of the rulers
of Egypt.
110
00:08:14,511 --> 00:08:18,346
Every pharaoh saw himself as a
reincarnation of Horus, the god
111
00:08:18,348 --> 00:08:21,149
of the daylight, the god of
life, and the personification
112
00:08:21,151 --> 00:08:24,653
of Osiris, the god of
the unseen and the
113
00:08:24,655 --> 00:08:28,073
underworld, the afterlife.
PHILLIPS: And so,
114
00:08:28,075 --> 00:08:32,694
consequently, the reason in
ancient Egypt that the pharaoh
115
00:08:32,696 --> 00:08:35,864
had the right to tell you
exactly what to do and you had
116
00:08:35,866 --> 00:08:41,036
to obey him was because he was a
direct descendant of a god, in
117
00:08:41,038 --> 00:08:46,258
fact, a demigod himself.
NARRATOR: Was Ramses II's
118
00:08:46,260 --> 00:08:49,878
otherworldly connection the
reason he became one of the most
119
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,215
powerful pharaohs in ancient
Egypt?
120
00:08:53,217 --> 00:08:57,552
And what does this say about
Egypt's other legendary rulers?
121
00:08:57,554 --> 00:09:01,389
Could they have been,
as their legends claim,
122
00:09:01,391 --> 00:09:06,394
actual descendants of
extraterrestrial beings?
123
00:09:06,396 --> 00:09:10,065
According to researchers,
additional evidence can be found
124
00:09:10,067 --> 00:09:15,704
in the design and construction
of the Abu Simbel temples.
125
00:09:15,706 --> 00:09:18,073
BAUVAL: We're in the
Osirian hall.
126
00:09:18,075 --> 00:09:21,910
Amazing how they carved this out
of the living rock, slowly
127
00:09:21,912 --> 00:09:25,580
cutting, slowly fashioning,
and they produced this.
128
00:09:25,582 --> 00:09:29,751
It's extraordinary.
NARRATOR: The temple at Abu
129
00:09:29,753 --> 00:09:33,088
Simbel was built with
astonishing precision.
130
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:37,092
Twice a year, light from the
morning sun traveled down the
131
00:09:37,094 --> 00:09:41,429
entire expanse of the temple
cave to the very back wall,
132
00:09:41,431 --> 00:09:46,234
illuminating the statue of
Ramses seated amongst the gods.
133
00:09:46,236 --> 00:09:50,605
COLLINS: Ramses saw himself
as a living god, and
134
00:09:50,607 --> 00:09:54,776
because of this, he felt that
he should have this absolute
135
00:09:54,778 --> 00:09:59,247
control over everything,
that he himself could even get
136
00:09:59,249 --> 00:10:04,286
the sun to shine in this way,
as if the sun itself was
137
00:10:04,288 --> 00:10:10,125
working on behalf of him.
NARRATOR: But how and why
138
00:10:10,127 --> 00:10:15,764
did Ramses design and build such
a sophisticated structure more
139
00:10:15,766 --> 00:10:20,635
than 3,000 years ago?
Was it designed to channel some
140
00:10:20,637 --> 00:10:25,974
cosmic or otherworldly power?
YOUNG: The world of the
141
00:10:25,976 --> 00:10:29,311
spirit and the world of
matter seem divided at times.
142
00:10:29,313 --> 00:10:33,982
But a great leader, like Ramses
II, understands that the
143
00:10:33,984 --> 00:10:37,485
mysteries need to be concrete.
There's a need for building,
144
00:10:37,487 --> 00:10:41,156
and in these monuments and
palaces and other structures
145
00:10:41,158 --> 00:10:43,825
that Ramses built,
there will be depictions of
146
00:10:43,827 --> 00:10:46,995
himself as a god, or in the
company of gods, showing a
147
00:10:46,997 --> 00:10:51,666
divine connection to his rule
and to the people.
148
00:10:51,668 --> 00:10:55,170
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: There are
stories in which Ramses himself
149
00:10:55,172 --> 00:11:00,508
claims that he was in direct
contact with the guardians of
150
00:11:00,510 --> 00:11:02,677
the sky.
151
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,513
Now, who were these guardians of
the sky?
152
00:11:05,515 --> 00:11:10,318
Were they just fantasy or did
they really exist?
153
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,689
CHILDRESS: Ramses II and
all the Egyptian pharaohs, I
154
00:11:14,691 --> 00:11:18,860
mean, they saw themselves as
direct descendants of gods,
155
00:11:18,862 --> 00:11:24,366
and their genetic material and
their blood was the same blood
156
00:11:24,368 --> 00:11:29,537
that was coming from the gods...
and those gods, apparently,
157
00:11:29,539 --> 00:11:32,040
were extraterrestrials.
158
00:11:32,042 --> 00:11:36,711
NARRATOR: Is it possible,
as ancient astronaut theorists
159
00:11:36,713 --> 00:11:41,049
suggest, that the legends and
stories of Osiris, along with
160
00:11:41,051 --> 00:11:45,720
the architectural wonders like
the temples of Abu Simbel,
161
00:11:45,722 --> 00:11:49,724
provide evidence that the
pharaohs of ancient Egypt had,
162
00:11:49,726 --> 00:11:55,397
in fact, otherworldly origins?
And if so, might similar
163
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:59,200
legends of divine rulers
throughout the world reveal
164
00:11:59,202 --> 00:12:05,240
extraterrestrial connections?
Perhaps the answers can be found
165
00:12:05,242 --> 00:12:09,411
by examining the celestial
origins of some of Asia's
166
00:12:09,413 --> 00:12:11,546
greatest emperors.
167
00:12:11,548 --> 00:12:24,609
NARRATOR: Xinzheng, China.
It was here that Huangdi, a
168
00:12:24,611 --> 00:12:28,613
mythical ancient leader known as
the Yellow Emperor, is believed
169
00:12:28,615 --> 00:12:33,418
to have reigned throughout
the 27th century B.C.
170
00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:37,288
Viewed by many as the father of
Chinese culture, the Yellow
171
00:12:37,290 --> 00:12:40,625
Emperor has been credited with
creating traditional Chinese
172
00:12:40,627 --> 00:12:44,796
medicine such as acupuncture,
and introducing advancements
173
00:12:44,798 --> 00:12:51,136
like wooden houses, the bow and
arrow, bronze coins, and a
174
00:12:51,138 --> 00:12:56,007
written language.
JUDY HO: The Yellow Emperor
175
00:12:56,009 --> 00:12:59,310
is, according to most Chinese,
a legendary figure.
176
00:12:59,312 --> 00:13:03,648
He's a cultural hero as well as
a ruler, but at the same
177
00:13:03,650 --> 00:13:07,485
time, he's also believed to be,
actually, the founder
178
00:13:07,487 --> 00:13:09,154
of Chinese civilization.
179
00:13:09,156 --> 00:13:12,824
In fact, just about everything
that you would think as the
180
00:13:12,826 --> 00:13:17,328
basic elements of civilization
is somehow associated with the
181
00:13:17,330 --> 00:13:19,297
Yellow Emperor.
182
00:13:23,002 --> 00:13:25,670
NARRATOR: According to some
researchers, the Yellow Emperor,
183
00:13:25,672 --> 00:13:30,175
like other ancient rulers,
possessed otherworldly power,
184
00:13:30,177 --> 00:13:34,012
and they believe the proof can
be found by looking at the
185
00:13:34,014 --> 00:13:38,683
celestial origins of this
mysterious leader.
186
00:13:38,685 --> 00:13:43,354
Like the Egyptians, the ancient
Chinese believed their emperors
187
00:13:43,356 --> 00:13:47,525
received their powers and
abilities from the heavens.
188
00:13:47,527 --> 00:13:50,862
HO: The Chinese emperor is
actually called "son of heaven."
189
00:13:50,864 --> 00:13:56,034
What that means is that the
emperor earns his right to rule
190
00:13:56,036 --> 00:14:00,872
people because he received a
certain guidance from heaven to
191
00:14:00,874 --> 00:14:03,875
rule.
Heaven is always sending down
192
00:14:03,877 --> 00:14:08,379
these messages telling the
emperor when is the best time to
193
00:14:08,381 --> 00:14:11,716
harvest, when is the best time
to sow seeds, when to actually
194
00:14:11,718 --> 00:14:15,053
wage a war.
So, um, it's very important for
195
00:14:15,055 --> 00:14:20,058
the emperor, then, to read the
signs.
196
00:14:20,060 --> 00:14:24,062
TSOUKALOS: According to
ancient Chinese legends, the
197
00:14:24,064 --> 00:14:28,399
Yellow Emperor was floating
through space.
198
00:14:28,401 --> 00:14:33,238
He saw that the people of
Earth were sad and poor,
199
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,909
but he saw potential.
So in order to help the people,
200
00:14:37,911 --> 00:14:41,546
he descended from the sky...
201
00:14:41,548 --> 00:14:47,719
...and taught those people
different scientific
202
00:14:47,721 --> 00:14:49,721
disciplines.
203
00:14:49,723 --> 00:14:52,590
YOUNG: The Yellow Emperor
comes down to bring
204
00:14:52,592 --> 00:14:55,593
comfort, order and
leadership to his people.
205
00:14:55,595 --> 00:14:58,263
So there's a direct connection
between the divine realms and
206
00:14:58,265 --> 00:15:01,566
the beginnings of our
personality, our identity,
207
00:15:01,568 --> 00:15:04,102
our nation.
208
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:07,906
NARRATOR: According to
legend, after ruling for 100
209
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:11,409
years, the Yellow Emperor
made preparations to
210
00:15:11,411 --> 00:15:16,114
leave his earthly kingdom.
TSOUKALOS: After Huangdi's
211
00:15:16,116 --> 00:15:20,251
work was done on planet
Earth, he returned to the stars,
212
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:27,125
and he did this by doing
something very specific.
213
00:15:27,127 --> 00:15:31,296
He installed a cauldron,
and the moment he installed
214
00:15:31,298 --> 00:15:34,799
that thing, according to the
ancient legends, the heavens
215
00:15:34,801 --> 00:15:36,768
opened.
216
00:15:36,770 --> 00:15:43,308
YOUNG: A yellow dragon comes
down from the heavens, and he
217
00:15:43,310 --> 00:15:48,396
rides the dragon out into the
stars and becomes stars himself.
218
00:15:48,398 --> 00:15:55,987
NARRATOR: Mysterious
cauldrons?
219
00:15:55,989 --> 00:15:59,958
Flying dragons?
Could these fantastic notions
220
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:04,662
really have played a part in the
fate of China's Yellow Emperor?
221
00:16:04,664 --> 00:16:10,001
Or is there another, perhaps
more plausible, explanation?
222
00:16:10,003 --> 00:16:13,671
TSOUKALOS: Are we really
just talking about folklore
223
00:16:13,673 --> 00:16:16,975
here?
Or did something actually happen
224
00:16:16,977 --> 00:16:22,313
in real life?
And of course, the answer is
225
00:16:22,315 --> 00:16:25,650
that something was witnessed by
our ancestors that they could
226
00:16:25,652 --> 00:16:30,655
best describe with the
vocabulary that was available to
227
00:16:30,657 --> 00:16:34,192
them at the time.
228
00:16:34,194 --> 00:16:36,527
JASON MARTELL: When we look
at the story of the Yellow
229
00:16:36,529 --> 00:16:39,530
Emperor ascending into heaven,
this to me sounds like the
230
00:16:39,532 --> 00:16:42,700
description of some type of UFO
encounter.
231
00:16:42,702 --> 00:16:45,536
It's very possible that the
Yellow Emperor was actually
232
00:16:45,538 --> 00:16:47,839
traveling on a UFO.
233
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:54,512
NARRATOR: Is it possible the
Yellow Emperor was, in fact, an
234
00:16:54,514 --> 00:16:58,683
extraterrestrial being
one that traveled to and from
235
00:16:58,685 --> 00:17:04,389
Earth by means of a spacecraft?
If so, might there be similar
236
00:17:04,391 --> 00:17:08,726
descriptions of close encounters
found in the historical accounts
237
00:17:08,728 --> 00:17:12,397
of other, perhaps even more
mysterious, Far Eastern
238
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:14,816
emperors?
239
00:17:14,818 --> 00:17:21,239
Japan.
660 BC.
240
00:17:21,241 --> 00:17:25,910
Emperor Jimmu becomes the first
ruler of the island nation's
241
00:17:25,912 --> 00:17:30,415
imperial family.
According to legend, the ancient
242
00:17:30,417 --> 00:17:35,386
Japanese also believed Jimmu was
the direct descendent of the sun
243
00:17:35,388 --> 00:17:38,890
goddess Amaterasu.
244
00:17:38,892 --> 00:17:42,927
WILLIAM HENRY: The Japanese
people worshipped a deity named
245
00:17:42,929 --> 00:17:47,432
Amaterasu who was believed to
shine like the sun.
246
00:17:47,434 --> 00:17:50,735
She sent her descendants to
Earth in order to bring order
247
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:53,771
out of chaos.
Japan's first emperor, Jimmu,
248
00:17:53,773 --> 00:17:58,609
directly connected himself as a
descendant of Amaterasu,
249
00:17:58,611 --> 00:18:01,279
therefore setting up his
lineage in connection to this
250
00:18:01,281 --> 00:18:03,614
divinity.
251
00:18:03,616 --> 00:18:08,953
PHILLIPS: He was the man
who united the island of Japan's
252
00:18:08,955 --> 00:18:13,958
various warring factions into,
into one country.
253
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,296
And all emperors since Jimmu
have all claimed descent from
254
00:18:18,298 --> 00:18:21,466
the sun goddess.
And the reason why the
255
00:18:21,468 --> 00:18:26,304
Japanese flag has this
rising sun is that it
256
00:18:26,306 --> 00:18:30,975
represents the descent from
the sun goddess.
257
00:18:30,977 --> 00:18:35,646
NARRATOR: According to
legend, the sun goddess,
258
00:18:35,648 --> 00:18:39,817
Amaterasu, gave three gifts
to Jimmu:
259
00:18:39,819 --> 00:18:43,821
a mirror...
a jewel...
260
00:18:43,823 --> 00:18:47,158
and a sword.
Known as the Imperial Regalia
261
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,496
of Japan, it is believed that,
with these divine artifacts,
262
00:18:51,498 --> 00:18:54,832
Jimmu was able to control his
empire.
263
00:18:54,834 --> 00:18:57,468
PHILLIPS: Apart from the
emperor and a few elite priests,
264
00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:01,172
no one is ever allowed to see
them.
265
00:19:01,174 --> 00:19:05,510
So where they are, nobody knows,
but it is said that in three
266
00:19:05,512 --> 00:19:10,348
separate shrines in Japan, which
are also tourist attractions,
267
00:19:10,350 --> 00:19:13,351
somewhere deep inside them, the
priesthood keeps these secret
268
00:19:13,353 --> 00:19:18,656
crown jewels that no one is ever
allowed to see.
269
00:19:18,658 --> 00:19:23,861
NARRATOR: But what unique
powers might these three divine
270
00:19:23,863 --> 00:19:27,865
gifts have possessed?
Might they have been not
271
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:31,369
merely symbols of power, but
examples of highly advanced
272
00:19:31,371 --> 00:19:36,040
extraterrestrial technology?
TSOUKALOS: According to
273
00:19:36,042 --> 00:19:39,710
legend, this mirror was quite
extraordinary.
274
00:19:39,712 --> 00:19:42,547
ERICH VON DANIKEN: They say
in this mirror he could see what
275
00:19:42,549 --> 00:19:46,851
happened at every minute around
all the islands in the Pacific
276
00:19:46,853 --> 00:19:49,720
Ocean.
277
00:19:49,722 --> 00:19:52,223
At every minute!
So what is this mirror,
278
00:19:52,225 --> 00:19:57,061
some technical device?
TSOUKALOS: So what is it
279
00:19:57,063 --> 00:20:00,565
that we're looking at here?
Well, if you look at it from a
280
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:05,236
perspective of misunderstood
technology, then next time you
281
00:20:05,238 --> 00:20:08,739
look at your computer monitor
and you're looking at a YouTube
282
00:20:08,741 --> 00:20:12,743
clip from, let's say, the Iguazu
Falls, then you are looking at a
283
00:20:12,745 --> 00:20:16,714
magic mirror that shows you
everything in the world.
284
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:19,083
CHILDRESS: You have to
wonder here, whether these
285
00:20:19,085 --> 00:20:24,422
objects had more power than just
an ordinary thing.
286
00:20:24,424 --> 00:20:28,259
And perhaps they were actually
highly technical objects, given
287
00:20:28,261 --> 00:20:34,232
to him by extraterrestrials, by
the gods, to help him as the
288
00:20:34,234 --> 00:20:36,434
first emperor.
289
00:20:36,436 --> 00:20:39,604
NARRATOR: Might Jimmu's
mirror really have been a
290
00:20:39,606 --> 00:20:43,908
technological device, given to
the emperor in an effort to help
291
00:20:43,910 --> 00:20:47,945
him rule his people?
Does it suggest the emperor was
292
00:20:47,947 --> 00:20:54,619
actually an alien being?
Or was he a human messenger
293
00:20:54,621 --> 00:20:59,123
employed by the gods to impose
order and propagate the notion
294
00:20:59,125 --> 00:21:03,127
that otherworldly visitors were
to be regarded by humans as
295
00:21:03,129 --> 00:21:07,465
gods?
Perhaps the proof can be found
296
00:21:07,467 --> 00:21:12,136
by examining the legends of
other ancient kings and rulers
297
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:16,807
rulers who some believe had
even more powerful and deadly
298
00:21:16,809 --> 00:21:20,444
extraterrestrial technology.
299
00:21:23,915 --> 00:21:32,890
NARRATOR: November 13, 2012.
Every fall, Hindus throughout
300
00:21:32,892 --> 00:21:36,093
the world celebrate in a
festival of lights called
301
00:21:36,095 --> 00:21:38,429
Diwali.
302
00:21:38,431 --> 00:21:42,733
WILCOCK: Diwali is a
five day festival of lights,
303
00:21:42,735 --> 00:21:46,270
which is as important to the
Hindus as Christmas is to
304
00:21:46,272 --> 00:21:48,105
Christians.
305
00:21:48,107 --> 00:21:52,276
The Hindus celebrate this
festival with great reverence.
306
00:21:52,278 --> 00:21:55,446
NARRATOR: The festival
commemorates King Rama, one of
307
00:21:55,448 --> 00:21:58,783
the most popular figures of
Hinduism.
308
00:21:58,785 --> 00:22:02,787
But just who was King Rama?
And why is this ancient leader
309
00:22:02,789 --> 00:22:05,923
so revered, even to this day?
310
00:22:05,925 --> 00:22:11,629
PHILLIPS: Hindus believe
that Rama was a real physically
311
00:22:11,631 --> 00:22:16,967
historical king who lived
7,000 years ago.
312
00:22:16,969 --> 00:22:22,139
Now, Rama was supposed to bring
writing and enlightenment
313
00:22:22,141 --> 00:22:26,977
and philosophy and all sorts of
various other engineering skills
314
00:22:26,979 --> 00:22:31,615
to humanity.
WILCOCK: In Hindu mythology,
315
00:22:31,617 --> 00:22:35,286
Rama is described as the
embodiment of truth and
316
00:22:35,288 --> 00:22:39,490
goodness, and it is said that
he was a reincarnation of the
317
00:22:39,492 --> 00:22:43,994
blue skinned god Vishnu.
NARRATOR: According to the
318
00:22:43,996 --> 00:22:48,799
Hindu texts, Rama's rise to
power began after a battle he
319
00:22:48,801 --> 00:22:52,670
waged with a ten headed demon
king named Ravana who had
320
00:22:52,672 --> 00:22:54,972
kidnapped his wife.
321
00:22:54,974 --> 00:23:01,011
DEEPAK SHIMKHADA: Rama goes
in search of his wife who was
322
00:23:01,013 --> 00:23:02,513
kidnapped by Ravana.
323
00:23:02,515 --> 00:23:07,651
There's a long battle between
Ravana and Rama and his army.
324
00:23:10,155 --> 00:23:12,990
NARRATOR: Rama used an
incredibly sophisticated device
325
00:23:12,992 --> 00:23:17,661
called the Brahmastra to kill
the demon king and rescue his
326
00:23:17,663 --> 00:23:21,165
wife.
327
00:23:21,167 --> 00:23:29,340
Known to cause severe damage,
it was a weapon for
328
00:23:29,342 --> 00:23:34,044
which there was no defense.
SHIMKHADA: Brahmastra is
329
00:23:34,046 --> 00:23:37,882
the most deadliest weapon ever
conceived or ever produced in
330
00:23:37,884 --> 00:23:42,386
Hinduism, and Brahmastra,
obviously, as the name suggest,
331
00:23:42,388 --> 00:23:47,224
it was created
by god Brahma himself.
332
00:23:47,226 --> 00:23:50,561
COLLINS: It was a weapon
that was so powerful that when
333
00:23:50,563 --> 00:23:54,031
it was used, it would absolutely
annihilate the enemy
334
00:23:54,033 --> 00:23:57,034
completely...
335
00:23:57,036 --> 00:24:04,241
...and would also make the whole
environment around where the
336
00:24:04,243 --> 00:24:08,579
weapon was used completely
desolate.
337
00:24:08,581 --> 00:24:12,583
What this sounds like is
something that we would create
338
00:24:12,585 --> 00:24:14,752
today.
It actually sounds like the
339
00:24:14,754 --> 00:24:18,389
effects of a nuclear bomb.
340
00:24:18,391 --> 00:24:25,763
NARRATOR: Might the
Brahmastra, as described in
341
00:24:25,765 --> 00:24:29,600
ancient Indian texts, really
have existed?
342
00:24:29,602 --> 00:24:33,437
And if so, where did
it come from?
343
00:24:33,439 --> 00:24:37,441
Might it have been something
like a nuclear weapon one
344
00:24:37,443 --> 00:24:42,780
created by the gods and used by
Rama, thousands of years ago?
345
00:24:42,782 --> 00:24:45,783
COPPENS: In the case of the
ancient Indian epics, what we're
346
00:24:45,785 --> 00:24:48,953
being told is that this was
technology of the gods, that
347
00:24:48,955 --> 00:24:52,289
this was extraterrestrial
technology which was somehow
348
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:55,459
used or at least could be used
on planet Earth and which could
349
00:24:55,461 --> 00:24:58,963
result in the complete
destruction or annihilation of
350
00:24:58,965 --> 00:25:02,099
the human species.
351
00:25:02,101 --> 00:25:05,302
NARRATOR: Did King Rama
possess a deadly, perhaps
352
00:25:05,304 --> 00:25:07,605
nuclear, power?
353
00:25:07,607 --> 00:25:14,778
If so, do the stories of the
Brahmastra help to prove that
354
00:25:14,780 --> 00:25:18,649
Rama and other ancient rulers
like him descended from
355
00:25:18,651 --> 00:25:21,118
extraterrestrial beings?
356
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:29,827
Sanchi, India.
Here, 400 miles south of New
357
00:25:29,829 --> 00:25:36,000
Delhi, lies the Great Stupa,
a dome shaped Buddhist shrine.
358
00:25:36,002 --> 00:25:40,838
This incredible structure was
first commissioned in the third
359
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,509
century BC by Ashoka the
Great, an emperor who ruled
360
00:25:45,511 --> 00:25:51,682
over most of India by 263 BC.
SHIMKHADA: Ashoka the Great
361
00:25:51,684 --> 00:25:54,518
was intent in conquering
all of India.
362
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,521
So there was one place that he
had not been able to conquer,
363
00:25:57,523 --> 00:26:00,524
and he finally mounts this
attack.
364
00:26:00,526 --> 00:26:04,528
It is said that many thousands
of people were killed
365
00:26:04,530 --> 00:26:08,032
soldiers from both sides.
When he went to the
366
00:26:08,034 --> 00:26:11,702
battleground, he became very,
very moved by this horrendous
367
00:26:11,704 --> 00:26:16,173
scene, and then he became a
changed man and he devoted all
368
00:26:16,175 --> 00:26:19,710
of his time in propagating the
peaceful message of the Buddha.
369
00:26:19,712 --> 00:26:24,348
NARRATOR: But according to
the second century Sanskrit text
370
00:26:24,350 --> 00:26:29,053
called the Ashokavadana, there
is another, even more profound,
371
00:26:29,055 --> 00:26:32,723
tale describing Ashoka's
transformation from brutal
372
00:26:32,725 --> 00:26:37,728
tyrant to religious leader,
one that some believe provides
373
00:26:37,730 --> 00:26:42,066
evidence of an otherworldly
influence.
374
00:26:42,068 --> 00:26:46,570
WILCOCK: A wandering monk
was imprisoned by Ashoka.
375
00:26:46,572 --> 00:26:50,741
He throws this man into a
cauldron and wants to boil him
376
00:26:50,743 --> 00:26:52,710
alive.
377
00:26:53,745 --> 00:26:57,748
At this point, the monk
levitates up into the air.
378
00:26:57,750 --> 00:27:04,755
The eyewitness reports say that
the monk's body was half fire,
379
00:27:04,757 --> 00:27:09,259
and half flowing water.
Ashoka was so amazed by what he
380
00:27:09,261 --> 00:27:13,764
saw that he completely shut down
the torture prisons.
381
00:27:13,766 --> 00:27:18,268
After Ashoka's conversion, he
gets so engaged in the Buddhist
382
00:27:18,270 --> 00:27:22,406
tradition that he begins
building stupas,
383
00:27:22,408 --> 00:27:26,777
most notably the one at Sanchi.
NARRATOR: Like other stupas
384
00:27:26,779 --> 00:27:30,914
throughout Asia, Ashoka's great
monument has become one of the
385
00:27:30,916 --> 00:27:34,952
most important places of
Buddhist pilgrimage.
386
00:27:34,954 --> 00:27:38,956
HENRY: Pilgrims would make
a visit to the stupa in order
387
00:27:38,958 --> 00:27:42,126
to receive blessings and
prayer energy.
388
00:27:42,128 --> 00:27:45,429
Ashoka built stupas and other
structures throughout Asia that
389
00:27:45,431 --> 00:27:48,799
were inscribed with his
teachings, and from this,
390
00:27:48,801 --> 00:27:51,602
we get the idea that he was
trying to communicate through
391
00:27:51,604 --> 00:27:55,105
stone throughout time and
generations.
392
00:27:55,107 --> 00:27:58,108
NARRATOR: But just what was
Ashoka trying to communicate?
393
00:27:58,110 --> 00:28:01,812
Is it possible, as some
researchers believe, that Ashoka
394
00:28:01,814 --> 00:28:07,651
had experienced an
extraterrestrial encounter?
395
00:28:07,653 --> 00:28:13,624
And if so, might stupas actually
represent something much more
396
00:28:13,626 --> 00:28:20,330
technological and with origins
even more out of this world?
397
00:28:20,332 --> 00:28:24,334
WILCOCK: When you look
at the structure of these
398
00:28:24,336 --> 00:28:28,505
stupas, it certainly appears as
if there may be some reference
399
00:28:28,507 --> 00:28:33,143
being made in their shape, to
actual extraterrestrial piloted
400
00:28:33,145 --> 00:28:36,180
vehicles.
This may be related to the Hindu
401
00:28:36,182 --> 00:28:40,317
legend of the vimana, which is
allegedly a noiseless, wingless
402
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:43,654
aircraft that flies through the
air.
403
00:28:43,656 --> 00:28:48,525
SHIMKHADA: Vimanas are
described in the Hindu epics,
404
00:28:48,527 --> 00:28:52,663
and their mission is to
transport gods, primarily, and
405
00:28:52,665 --> 00:28:57,034
the gods are the owners of these
vehicles because they are worthy
406
00:28:57,036 --> 00:29:01,638
of traveling through space very
fast.
407
00:29:04,209 --> 00:29:07,177
COPPENS: These people built,
in stone, objects which
408
00:29:07,179 --> 00:29:10,881
they seem to have seen in the
sky, in flight, at some point,
409
00:29:10,883 --> 00:29:14,218
no doubt, landed on the surface
of the Earth as well.
410
00:29:14,220 --> 00:29:19,356
When these objects left, they
began to build them in stone so
411
00:29:19,358 --> 00:29:22,559
that they would have reminders
that this was the instruments
412
00:29:22,561 --> 00:29:27,064
in which the gods came to them.
NARRATOR: Might the Great
413
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:31,568
Stupa really have been built to
symbolize vimanas, the
414
00:29:31,570 --> 00:29:34,571
mythological flying machines
described in ancient Hindu
415
00:29:34,573 --> 00:29:37,574
texts?
And if so, might this provide
416
00:29:37,576 --> 00:29:42,246
even more compelling proof
that powerful leaders like
417
00:29:42,248 --> 00:29:45,916
Rama and Ashoka the Great were
in direct contact with
418
00:29:45,918 --> 00:29:51,421
extraterrestrial beings?
Perhaps additional evidence can
419
00:29:51,423 --> 00:29:55,926
be found by looking at the
extraordinary bloodline of one
420
00:29:55,928 --> 00:29:59,930
of the most powerful and
enduring royal families
421
00:29:59,932 --> 00:30:02,232
in human history.
422
00:30:02,234 --> 00:30:12,392
NARRATOR: London, England.
June, 2012.
423
00:30:12,394 --> 00:30:17,030
Queen Elizabeth II celebrates
her Diamond Jubilee,
424
00:30:17,032 --> 00:30:21,001
commemorating 60 years on the
British throne.
425
00:30:21,003 --> 00:30:27,174
The 87 year old monarch presides
over the United Kingdom and
426
00:30:27,176 --> 00:30:32,546
15 commonwealth realms
with a combined population of
427
00:30:32,548 --> 00:30:37,551
more than 134 million people.
Her grandsons, Prince William
428
00:30:37,553 --> 00:30:42,189
and Prince Harry, are heirs to
the throne, in the line of
429
00:30:42,191 --> 00:30:46,393
succession after their father,
Prince Charles.
430
00:30:46,395 --> 00:30:51,064
But from where does the British
monarchy claim its authority?
431
00:30:51,066 --> 00:30:58,038
And what are the origins of its
vast wealth and symbolic power?
432
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,208
MOSLEY: Queen Elizabeth II
has sat on the throne
433
00:31:01,210 --> 00:31:03,210
since 1952.
434
00:31:03,212 --> 00:31:07,247
And she has huge prestige
because the royal family in
435
00:31:07,249 --> 00:31:09,917
this country is one of
the most successful
436
00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:12,719
organizations, institutions in
the world.
437
00:31:16,090 --> 00:31:18,592
PHILLIPS: One of the most
important things for any leader
438
00:31:18,594 --> 00:31:21,762
is their bloodline to be
continued.
439
00:31:21,764 --> 00:31:25,933
We want the best for our own
children, our own offspring,
440
00:31:25,935 --> 00:31:29,403
as if it's some form of
immortality.
441
00:31:29,405 --> 00:31:33,740
The succession of power in
ancient civilizations depended
442
00:31:33,742 --> 00:31:37,244
very much on bloodlines.
443
00:31:37,246 --> 00:31:46,753
NARRATOR: Like other European
monarchies, the British royal
444
00:31:46,755 --> 00:31:50,624
family has fiercely protected
the integrity of its bloodlines
445
00:31:50,626 --> 00:31:56,263
for thousands of years, but why?
What exactly is so unique
446
00:31:56,265 --> 00:32:01,468
or significant about royal
bloodlines?
447
00:32:01,470 --> 00:32:04,471
PHILLIPS: Various leaders of
ancient cultures went to
448
00:32:04,473 --> 00:32:07,307
considerable lengths to make
sure that their own bloodline
449
00:32:07,309 --> 00:32:12,145
continued as the, uh,
the ruling elite.
450
00:32:12,147 --> 00:32:15,616
For example, the pharaohs
of Egypt married their own
451
00:32:15,618 --> 00:32:19,319
sisters or mothers.
The famous Tutankhamen was
452
00:32:19,321 --> 00:32:23,290
married to his own sister, and
previous to that he was married
453
00:32:23,292 --> 00:32:26,493
to his own grandmother, so that
they could keep the blood within
454
00:32:26,495 --> 00:32:28,962
the same family.
455
00:32:28,964 --> 00:32:34,501
MOSLEY: So if you were of the
same blood as Cyrus, Ramses,
456
00:32:34,503 --> 00:32:38,005
Alexander the II, Leonidas of
Sparta, you had some kind
457
00:32:38,007 --> 00:32:42,476
of claim to recognition.
In the ancient world, it was
458
00:32:42,478 --> 00:32:45,545
seen as extending to the right
to rule.
459
00:32:45,547 --> 00:32:48,315
It gave legitimacy.
It gave continuity.
460
00:32:48,317 --> 00:32:53,687
It gave certainty.
That is still recognized in some
461
00:32:53,689 --> 00:32:56,490
respects now.
We have had, for instance,
462
00:32:56,492 --> 00:32:59,192
father and son presidents of the
United States.
463
00:32:59,194 --> 00:33:02,829
We've had a series of members of
the same family running India.
464
00:33:02,831 --> 00:33:07,334
We have even had tyrannies in
North Korea, father son
465
00:33:07,336 --> 00:33:10,704
inheritance.
It's extraordinary the extent to
466
00:33:10,706 --> 00:33:15,709
which this still exists.
YOUNG: It is important for
467
00:33:15,711 --> 00:33:18,545
people to feel their leaders
are extraordinary,
468
00:33:18,547 --> 00:33:19,846
not common.
469
00:33:19,848 --> 00:33:22,516
So much is focused on the
bloodlines.
470
00:33:22,518 --> 00:33:25,052
Have they descended from the
gods?
471
00:33:25,054 --> 00:33:29,056
Have they descended from rulers
that were unusually exceptional?
472
00:33:29,058 --> 00:33:31,892
COLLINS: And it was
something that they would
473
00:33:31,894 --> 00:33:35,195
obviously pass on into the
successive generations, so that
474
00:33:35,197 --> 00:33:39,900
if you had that blood, you also
had that power of connection
475
00:33:39,902 --> 00:33:41,735
with the gods.
476
00:33:41,737 --> 00:33:46,573
NARRATOR: According to some
researchers, the bloodline of
477
00:33:46,575 --> 00:33:51,545
Queen Elizabeth II can be traced
all the way back to that of a
478
00:33:51,547 --> 00:33:57,718
mythical deity named Woden.
YOUNG: If we look closely,
479
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,088
the current monarch, Queen
Elizabeth II, could trace
480
00:34:01,090 --> 00:34:04,591
lineage to Woden through the
kings of Wessex.
481
00:34:04,593 --> 00:34:08,261
Woden is supposedly
an ancient king.
482
00:34:08,263 --> 00:34:11,598
He is obviously a variation on
the Norse god Odin
483
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:16,737
or the German Wotan,
but he is a mighty, powerful,
484
00:34:16,739 --> 00:34:20,941
furious leader,
a semi god or a god
485
00:34:20,943 --> 00:34:24,244
in his own right.
He is also a warrior leader,
486
00:34:24,246 --> 00:34:28,081
so he is a very exciting,
ecstatic energy.
487
00:34:28,083 --> 00:34:35,622
PHILLIPS: Now interestingly,
the legends associated with
488
00:34:35,624 --> 00:34:42,295
this god, Woden, was that
usually, around midwinter,
489
00:34:42,297 --> 00:34:47,634
the god Woden would lead a
great hunt across the skies.
490
00:34:47,636 --> 00:34:54,307
All these horsemen would be seen
flying across the skies.
491
00:34:54,309 --> 00:34:56,810
MARTELL: It's described
that when Woden would pass
492
00:34:56,812 --> 00:34:59,980
overhead, that people would
witness seeing strong winds and
493
00:34:59,982 --> 00:35:02,816
hearing thunderous claps of
sound.
494
00:35:02,818 --> 00:35:05,452
(thunder booms)
495
00:35:05,454 --> 00:35:08,321
PHILLIPS: And Woden, in some
legends, was said to have been
496
00:35:08,323 --> 00:35:11,591
seen riding an
eight legged horse.
497
00:35:13,628 --> 00:35:16,496
TSOUKALOS: In ancient
English legends, Woden was known
498
00:35:16,498 --> 00:35:20,834
as the god of wind,
and whenever he appeared, he
499
00:35:20,836 --> 00:35:26,173
flew across the sky in a fiery
eight legged horse.
500
00:35:26,175 --> 00:35:31,311
Now, what does that mean?
Whatever it was they
501
00:35:31,313 --> 00:35:35,515
encountered, that they witnessed
up in the sky could best be
502
00:35:35,517 --> 00:35:39,653
described as an eight legged
horse because they didn't have
503
00:35:39,655 --> 00:35:42,823
the vocabulary for spacecraft.
504
00:35:42,825 --> 00:35:49,529
NARRATOR: But did, as
mainstream scholars suggest,
505
00:35:49,531 --> 00:35:54,367
Queen Elizabeth's ancestors
simply claim a blood connection
506
00:35:54,369 --> 00:35:58,038
to Woden, in an effort to
strengthen and legitimize their
507
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:01,041
reign?
Or is it possible that the
508
00:36:01,043 --> 00:36:05,011
British monarch is an actual
flesh and blood descendant of
509
00:36:05,013 --> 00:36:10,383
otherworldly beings?
YOUNG: Tracing royal lineage
510
00:36:10,385 --> 00:36:15,355
back to a god implies great
wisdom, almost celestial power,
511
00:36:15,357 --> 00:36:20,560
a connection to the divine,
truly making the gods on our
512
00:36:20,562 --> 00:36:22,996
side.
513
00:36:27,535 --> 00:36:29,569
.CHILDRESS: Kings and queens
all over the world, particularly
514
00:36:29,571 --> 00:36:32,372
in Europe, they are from a
special bloodline and they make
515
00:36:32,374 --> 00:36:36,042
a big deal of that..
516
00:36:36,044 --> 00:36:40,380
So you have to ask yourself,
what is it about their blood, as
517
00:36:40,382 --> 00:36:46,052
opposed to other people's blood,
that's so special?
518
00:36:46,054 --> 00:36:48,889
NARRATOR: Might ancient
royalty's possible
519
00:36:48,891 --> 00:36:52,592
extraterrestrial origins explain
why monarchs have protected
520
00:36:52,594 --> 00:36:56,930
their bloodlines for centuries?
Or might there be another even
521
00:36:56,932 --> 00:37:00,233
more biological reason?
522
00:37:00,235 --> 00:37:05,272
What if the proof could be
seen with the naked eye?
523
00:37:05,274 --> 00:37:08,909
Not in ancient monuments
or deciphered texts,
524
00:37:08,911 --> 00:37:12,362
but in our own DNA?
525
00:37:12,364 --> 00:37:23,273
NARRATOR: The Mongol Empire
in the 13th century AD.
526
00:37:23,275 --> 00:37:28,411
This massive kingdom, one that
stretched from the Caspian Sea
527
00:37:28,413 --> 00:37:32,916
to the Sea of Japan, was
forged by the emperor
528
00:37:32,918 --> 00:37:38,071
Genghis Khan.
Uniting the nomadic tribes of
529
00:37:38,073 --> 00:37:41,574
Northeast Asia, historians
believe that by the time of his
530
00:37:41,576 --> 00:37:46,579
death in 1227, Genghis Khan
ruled over as many as 100
531
00:37:46,581 --> 00:37:49,299
million people.
532
00:37:49,301 --> 00:37:53,119
PHILLIPS: Many people think
of the great empires of the
533
00:37:53,121 --> 00:37:55,939
world, such as the Roman
Empire, the empire of Alexander
534
00:37:55,941 --> 00:37:58,942
the Great, or the British
Empire, but the greatest in
535
00:37:58,944 --> 00:38:01,978
landmass area the world has
ever seen was
536
00:38:01,980 --> 00:38:05,615
the empire of Genghis Khan.
537
00:38:05,617 --> 00:38:09,102
He and his immediate descendants
conquered all of China,
538
00:38:09,104 --> 00:38:13,606
conquered most of what's now
Russia and half of Europe.
539
00:38:13,608 --> 00:38:17,944
It was an astonishing empire
and built by people who had had
540
00:38:17,946 --> 00:38:22,632
really no proper civilization
before that.
541
00:38:22,634 --> 00:38:25,568
NARRATOR: Although generally
believed to be a brutal and
542
00:38:25,570 --> 00:38:30,006
bloody conqueror, Genghis Khan
also brought communication,
543
00:38:30,008 --> 00:38:35,345
technology, justice, and
prosperity to his people.
544
00:38:35,347 --> 00:38:40,150
He attributed his success to
Tengri, the god of the eternal
545
00:38:40,152 --> 00:38:42,469
blue sky.
546
00:38:42,471 --> 00:38:45,755
HENRY: Genghis Khan was
known to disappear for days
547
00:38:45,757 --> 00:38:49,359
and climb the most sacred
mountain of Asia in order to
548
00:38:49,361 --> 00:38:53,363
commune with Tengri, who
imparted to him not only battle
549
00:38:53,365 --> 00:38:57,033
plans but spiritual capability
that made him the amazing leader
550
00:38:57,035 --> 00:38:59,035
that he was.
551
00:38:59,037 --> 00:39:03,523
Genghis Khan believed Tengri to
be his sky father and claimed
552
00:39:03,525 --> 00:39:07,210
that he had a direct genetic
connection with Tengri.
553
00:39:07,212 --> 00:39:11,381
He even referred to himself as a
man from the sky.
554
00:39:11,383 --> 00:39:15,035
MARTELL: Now if this is
actually the case, Genghis Khan
555
00:39:15,037 --> 00:39:18,171
might have some type of
extraterrestrial component
556
00:39:18,173 --> 00:39:20,690
to him.
We know that scientifically
557
00:39:20,692 --> 00:39:23,860
today, one in 200 people can
actually be traced back to
558
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:25,528
Genghis Khan.
559
00:39:25,530 --> 00:39:29,733
So if Genghis Khan does have any
extraterrestrial genetics to
560
00:39:29,735 --> 00:39:34,187
him, it's possible that over 16
million people now share this
561
00:39:34,189 --> 00:39:36,172
same gene.
562
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:41,411
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
Genghis Kahn did, in fact, have
563
00:39:41,413 --> 00:39:46,232
extraterrestrial ancestry as
he himself claimed?
564
00:39:46,234 --> 00:39:51,037
And if so, might evidence of
that alien biology appear in
565
00:39:51,039 --> 00:39:54,491
certain bloodlines, even today?
566
00:39:54,493 --> 00:40:02,415
London, England.
January, 2013.
567
00:40:02,417 --> 00:40:06,086
Researchers at the University
College London announce their
568
00:40:06,088 --> 00:40:11,091
discovery of a unique DNA
sequence, one that suggests
569
00:40:11,093 --> 00:40:16,279
that some people may, in fact,
be born to lead.
570
00:40:16,281 --> 00:40:20,934
Comparing DNA samples taken from
sets of twins, both fraternal
571
00:40:20,936 --> 00:40:26,623
and identical, scientists
were able to determine that as
572
00:40:26,625 --> 00:40:30,360
much as 24% of leadership
behavior could be attributed
573
00:40:30,362 --> 00:40:32,445
to genetics.
574
00:40:32,447 --> 00:40:35,365
KLEMENS HERTEL: These are
classical twin studies.
575
00:40:35,367 --> 00:40:39,602
The identical twins are
genetically identical,
576
00:40:39,604 --> 00:40:42,806
non identical twins are,
basically, like siblings.
577
00:40:42,808 --> 00:40:47,961
The kids were asked whether, in
their job, they supervised
578
00:40:47,963 --> 00:40:50,947
someone or they did not
supervise one.
579
00:40:50,949 --> 00:40:53,883
This was the question that the
research team associated with
580
00:40:53,885 --> 00:40:59,139
leadership quality, yes or no.
Minor changes in the genetic
581
00:40:59,141 --> 00:41:04,627
composition were then correlated
with the incidence of having a
582
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:08,631
leadership or not having a
leadership based on the answer
583
00:41:08,633 --> 00:41:11,784
to the question,
and it was demonstrated that
584
00:41:11,786 --> 00:41:15,155
one particular genotype
associates with having a
585
00:41:15,157 --> 00:41:19,976
leadership role.
HENRY: Before this, it was
586
00:41:19,978 --> 00:41:22,679
assumed that leadership was
learned, but now we know
587
00:41:22,681 --> 00:41:25,515
that leadership has a direct
genetic component to it,
588
00:41:25,517 --> 00:41:29,986
and it can, in fact,
be inherited.
589
00:41:29,988 --> 00:41:33,590
NARRATOR: But is it really
possible that the world's
590
00:41:33,592 --> 00:41:37,177
legendary leaders might have
shared a common genetic trait?
591
00:41:37,179 --> 00:41:42,182
A so called leadership gene?
And might this gene have been
592
00:41:42,184 --> 00:41:46,019
not a product of genetic
evolution, but inherited by
593
00:41:46,021 --> 00:41:49,439
mankind from some otherworldly
source?
594
00:41:49,441 --> 00:41:53,042
VON DANIKEN: A long, long
time ago, the gods from outer
595
00:41:53,044 --> 00:41:56,179
space were on Earth,
and they definitely made a
596
00:41:56,181 --> 00:41:59,382
genetical change with some of
our humans.
597
00:41:59,384 --> 00:42:04,187
These humans obviously are
of a little higher level than
598
00:42:04,189 --> 00:42:06,623
the rest of mankind.
599
00:42:06,625 --> 00:42:09,626
CHILDRESS: Just like today,
we want to view our leaders as
600
00:42:09,628 --> 00:42:14,864
being special, smarter than us,
more capable, and it's the same
601
00:42:14,866 --> 00:42:17,367
thing in ancient times, too.
602
00:42:17,369 --> 00:42:22,138
The rulers were special.
They somehow had God in their
603
00:42:22,140 --> 00:42:24,224
bloods.
They were descendants
604
00:42:24,226 --> 00:42:27,193
of the gods.
They had special DNA.
605
00:42:27,195 --> 00:42:30,380
PHILLIPS: One thing is
certain and that is if it wasn't
606
00:42:30,382 --> 00:42:33,900
for these ancient peoples
believing that their kings and
607
00:42:33,902 --> 00:42:37,654
emperors were divine, there is
very little to have held these
608
00:42:37,656 --> 00:42:42,091
early civilizations together,
and believing that your leader
609
00:42:42,093 --> 00:42:45,395
was somehow a god or descended
from a god, kept people
610
00:42:45,397 --> 00:42:51,234
together, and so it's a part
of survival of the human race.
611
00:42:51,236 --> 00:42:55,905
TSOUKALOS: Many of our
greatest rulers were guided or
612
00:42:55,907 --> 00:43:00,109
influenced directly, according
to what they say, by celestial
613
00:43:00,111 --> 00:43:02,095
beings.
614
00:43:02,097 --> 00:43:07,450
Perhaps it is this influence
that gave some of these rulers
615
00:43:07,452 --> 00:43:12,088
the capacity to change human
history.
616
00:43:15,259 --> 00:43:17,610
NARRATOR: Were there really
extraterrestrial influences
617
00:43:17,612 --> 00:43:22,532
steering the emperors, kings and
pharaohs of the ancient world?
618
00:43:22,534 --> 00:43:27,253
And if so, does this mean that
the blood of the so called gods
619
00:43:27,255 --> 00:43:31,758
doesn't only flow throughout the
veins of today's monarchs, but
620
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:37,280
in the DNA of millions of people
living throughout the world?
621
00:43:37,282 --> 00:43:41,818
The implications are both
astonishing and profound,
622
00:43:41,820 --> 00:43:47,290
because it may not be that we
need to wait for Earth's alien
623
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:51,761
ancestors to return.
may be they are already here.
