--> 00:25:49,777 this treasure, unless we can 682 00:25:49,812 --> 00:25:51,613 see, translate the writing, it's 683 00:25:51,647 --> 00:25:53,448 still a big question mark over 684 00:25:53,482 --> 00:25:54,782 who wrote it, why they put it 685 00:25:54,816 --> 00:25:57,684 there and who put it there. 686 00:25:57,685 --> 00:25:59,453 But when Eileen 687 00:25:59,487 --> 00:26:00,821 Hall began to look for the 688 00:26:00,855 --> 00:26:02,522 location of father Crespi's 689 00:26:02,556 --> 00:26:04,625 original artifacts, she learned 690 00:26:04,659 --> 00:26:06,393 that much of the priest's 691 00:26:06,428 --> 00:26:08,329 collection had mysteriously 692 00:26:08,363 --> 00:26:10,332 vanished shortly before his 693 00:26:10,366 --> 00:26:13,569 death in 1982. 694 00:26:13,603 --> 00:26:15,338 But why? 695 00:26:15,372 --> 00:26:17,407 Had Crespi's artifacts fallen 696 00:26:17,441 --> 00:26:18,908 prey to thieves? 697 00:26:18,943 --> 00:26:20,844 Or might the Shuar have taken 698 00:26:20,878 --> 00:26:22,379 their treasure back into the 699 00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:24,514 cave where they found them? 700 00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:26,916 Whatever the answer, Eileen 701 00:26:26,951 --> 00:26:29,352 Hall has continued to research 702 00:26:29,386 --> 00:26:31,353 other artifacts from elsewhere 703 00:26:31,387 --> 00:26:32,988 in Ecuador. 704 00:26:33,022 --> 00:26:34,823 And like father Crespi's 705 00:26:34,857 --> 00:26:36,991 objects, some seem to have 706 00:26:37,026 --> 00:26:38,760 uncanny resemblances to other 707 00:26:38,794 --> 00:26:41,362 cultures that, according to 708 00:26:41,396 --> 00:26:43,364 mainstream archeology, ancient 709 00:26:43,398 --> 00:26:45,367 Ecuadorians could not have had 710 00:26:45,401 --> 00:26:47,402 any knowledge of. 711 00:26:47,436 --> 00:26:49,437 This collection 712 00:26:49,471 --> 00:26:51,373 is made up of what my father 713 00:26:51,407 --> 00:26:52,874 believed to be the formative 714 00:26:52,909 --> 00:26:54,910 cultures of Ecuador. 715 00:26:54,945 --> 00:26:57,513 This is from the coastal culture 716 00:26:57,548 --> 00:27:01,418 from 600 bc to 1600 ad, and this 717 00:27:01,452 --> 00:27:03,553 is very humanlike, but at the 718 00:27:03,588 --> 00:27:04,855 same time, some features have 719 00:27:04,889 --> 00:27:05,922 been exaggerated. 720 00:27:05,957 --> 00:27:08,025 Here, you've got the smaller 721 00:27:08,059 --> 00:27:09,893 face with the kind of bigger 722 00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:12,396 ears, and the elongated skull 723 00:27:12,430 --> 00:27:14,498 shape on the head. 724 00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:16,533 The top of this 725 00:27:16,567 --> 00:27:18,701 head looks like an elongated 726 00:27:18,736 --> 00:27:21,704 cranium, an elongated skull, 727 00:27:21,739 --> 00:27:24,606 and it is identical to this 728 00:27:24,641 --> 00:27:27,810 Egyptian statue that we find 729 00:27:27,844 --> 00:27:29,878 all over Egypt. 730 00:27:29,913 --> 00:27:32,882 To see this picture right here 731 00:27:32,916 --> 00:27:35,550 and compare it to the Egyptian 732 00:27:35,585 --> 00:27:37,618 bust we see right here, it's 733 00:27:37,653 --> 00:27:39,887 uncanny... the head shape is 734 00:27:39,922 --> 00:27:43,090 identical. 735 00:27:43,091 --> 00:27:45,426 Do Stanley Hall's 736 00:27:45,460 --> 00:27:47,427 artifacts show evidence that 737 00:27:47,462 --> 00:27:49,496 Egyptian cultures could have 738 00:27:49,530 --> 00:27:51,431 crossed the oceans to influence 739 00:27:51,465 --> 00:27:54,901 South American culture? 740 00:27:54,935 --> 00:27:57,069 Or is it possible that both were 741 00:27:57,104 --> 00:28:00,439 influenced by another culture... 742 00:28:00,473 --> 00:28:03,442 one from beyond our world? 743 00:28:03,476 --> 00:28:06,645 If so, were the strange writings 744 00:28:06,679 --> 00:28:08,481 inscribed on father Crespi's now 745 00:28:08,515 --> 00:28:10,650 missing metal tablets actual 746 00:28:10,684 --> 00:28:15,455 messages from an alien world? 747 00:28:15,489 --> 00:28:17,491 My father went 748 00:28:17,525 --> 00:28:19,092 as far as saying it was possibly 749 00:28:19,126 --> 00:28:20,761 an advanced civilization, but 750 00:28:20,795 --> 00:28:23,130 we can't know for certain until 751 00:28:23,165 --> 00:28:26,934 this library is found. 752 00:28:26,968 --> 00:28:28,602 So this metallic 753 00:28:28,637 --> 00:28:30,971 library is still there in 754 00:28:31,006 --> 00:28:34,475 Ecuador in a subterranean cave. 755 00:28:34,510 --> 00:28:37,512 There are still Indian tribes 756 00:28:37,546 --> 00:28:38,947 living there. 757 00:28:38,981 --> 00:28:40,481 They are still protecting the 758 00:28:40,516 --> 00:28:43,952 old treasure. 759 00:28:43,986 --> 00:28:45,687 So it's going to 760 00:28:45,721 --> 00:28:47,522 push the boundaries of academia 761 00:28:47,557 --> 00:28:49,024 once this cave system has 762 00:28:49,058 --> 00:28:50,492 been found. 763 00:28:50,527 --> 00:28:52,494 And whether it is inca or 764 00:28:52,528 --> 00:28:53,963 extraterrestrial, it doesn't 765 00:28:53,997 --> 00:28:55,164 really matter at this moment 766 00:28:55,199 --> 00:28:56,499 in time. 767 00:28:56,533 --> 00:28:57,734 Let's get to this cave and see 768 00:28:57,768 --> 00:28:59,502 what is in there. 769 00:28:59,537 --> 00:29:01,538 Perhaps Tayos has 770 00:29:01,573 --> 00:29:03,073 yet to reveal all of its 771 00:29:03,108 --> 00:29:05,876 secrets, but more than 700 Miles 772 00:29:05,911 --> 00:29:07,844 to the north, there is another 773 00:29:07,879 --> 00:29:10,079 cave... one that may prove that 774 00:29:10,114 --> 00:29:12,515 the Mayan underworld and the 775 00:29:12,549 --> 00:29:13,983 terrifying gods who ruled it 776 00:29:14,017 --> 00:29:17,153 were not only very real, but 777 00:29:17,187 --> 00:29:20,055 thirsty for human blood. 778 00:29:27,328 --> 00:29:28,461 The Yucat�n 779 00:29:28,496 --> 00:29:30,964 peninsula... 780 00:29:30,998 --> 00:29:32,899 One of Mexico's premier 781 00:29:32,934 --> 00:29:37,137 tourist destinations. 782 00:29:37,172 --> 00:29:40,140 Besides scenic beaches, the area 783 00:29:40,174 --> 00:29:42,142 is covered by thick jungle and 784 00:29:42,176 --> 00:29:44,345 pockmarked by massive sinkholes 785 00:29:44,379 --> 00:29:48,215 known as Cenotes. 786 00:29:48,250 --> 00:29:50,851 The ground beneath the jungle is 787 00:29:50,885 --> 00:29:54,854 also honeycombed with caves. 788 00:29:54,888 --> 00:29:58,324 But here, in 2007, Mexican 789 00:29:58,358 --> 00:30:00,860 archaeologist Guillermo de Anda 790 00:30:00,894 --> 00:30:03,863 found a cave like no other. 791 00:30:03,897 --> 00:30:05,998 Following clues in the records 792 00:30:06,033 --> 00:30:08,200 of 17th-century Spanish priests 793 00:30:08,235 --> 00:30:10,269 that hinted at the existence of 794 00:30:10,303 --> 00:30:12,371 a mysterious underground Mayan 795 00:30:12,405 --> 00:30:16,876 temple deep in the jungle, 796 00:30:16,910 --> 00:30:19,245 de Anda found a series of caves 797 00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:20,546 near the village of 798 00:30:20,581 --> 00:30:23,883 Tahtzibichen... 799 00:30:23,918 --> 00:30:26,186 Caves not seen for hundreds of 800 00:30:26,221 --> 00:30:28,889 years, and with entrances 801 00:30:28,924 --> 00:30:30,458 submerged beneath centuries 802 00:30:30,492 --> 00:30:32,894 of floodwater. 803 00:30:34,930 --> 00:30:36,531 Sometimes 804 00:30:36,565 --> 00:30:37,899 we have to dive into these 805 00:30:37,933 --> 00:30:39,100 caves. 806 00:30:39,134 --> 00:30:42,203 Sometimes they go very deep. 807 00:30:42,238 --> 00:30:44,472 The average depth of our 808 00:30:44,507 --> 00:30:47,909 research is about 140, 150 feet, 809 00:30:47,943 --> 00:30:49,911 but we know of caves much deeper 810 00:30:49,945 --> 00:30:51,946 than that. 811 00:30:51,947 --> 00:30:53,914 At first, de Anda 812 00:30:53,949 --> 00:30:55,550 and his team found carved stone 813 00:30:55,584 --> 00:30:57,552 heads and broken pillars with 814 00:30:57,586 --> 00:30:59,387 1,900-year-old Mayan 815 00:30:59,422 --> 00:31:02,290 inscriptions. 816 00:31:02,325 --> 00:31:04,159 We have found 817 00:31:04,193 --> 00:31:06,395 columns under the water, and 818 00:31:06,429 --> 00:31:09,331 these columns are amazing 819 00:31:09,366 --> 00:31:10,933 because some of them are five 820 00:31:10,967 --> 00:31:13,069 feet high and at least ten 821 00:31:13,103 --> 00:31:16,472 feet wide. 822 00:31:16,506 --> 00:31:18,074 But as de Anda 823 00:31:18,108 --> 00:31:19,976 surfaced in the dry areas of the 824 00:31:20,010 --> 00:31:22,245 cave, he found what he believed 825 00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:23,946 to be the remains of a massive 826 00:31:23,981 --> 00:31:26,582 underground temple complex, 827 00:31:26,617 --> 00:31:29,986 including a concrete road, 828 00:31:30,020 --> 00:31:34,991 a crumbled pyramid and bones. 829 00:31:35,025 --> 00:31:38,027 But why was it here? 830 00:31:38,028 --> 00:31:39,996 The Mayans 831 00:31:40,030 --> 00:31:41,998 themselves have, uh, very 832 00:31:42,032 --> 00:31:43,600 intriguing legends of an 833 00:31:43,634 --> 00:31:45,635 underground world called 834 00:31:45,669 --> 00:31:48,204 Xibalba. 835 00:31:48,238 --> 00:31:49,539 And it's believed now by 836 00:31:49,573 --> 00:31:51,507 archaeologists that what they 837 00:31:51,542 --> 00:31:53,977 found is what the Mayans thought 838 00:31:54,011 --> 00:31:56,979 was the entrance to this 839 00:31:57,014 --> 00:31:59,616 legendary underground world 840 00:31:59,650 --> 00:32:01,618 that features prominently in 841 00:32:01,652 --> 00:32:03,653 the Popol Vuh. 842 00:32:03,654 --> 00:32:05,354 Could this dark and 843 00:32:05,389 --> 00:32:07,623 mysterious cave really be the 844 00:32:07,657 --> 00:32:09,291 underground world mentioned 845 00:32:09,325 --> 00:32:13,562 in the Mayan legends? 846 00:32:13,596 --> 00:32:16,165 According to the Popol Vuh, the 847 00:32:16,199 --> 00:32:17,632 written record of Mayan 848 00:32:17,667 --> 00:32:19,668 mythology, the underworld 849 00:32:19,702 --> 00:32:21,536 kingdom of Xibalba, meaning 850 00:32:21,571 --> 00:32:24,006 "the place of fear," was ruled 851 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,308 by the cruel lords of the dead, 852 00:32:26,342 --> 00:32:28,210 who made those who entered their 853 00:32:28,244 --> 00:32:30,078 realm pass through a series 854 00:32:30,113 --> 00:32:32,214 of torture chambers, involving 855 00:32:32,248 --> 00:32:36,252 blood, darkness, cold, knives, 856 00:32:36,286 --> 00:32:39,488 bats and jaguars. 857 00:32:42,592 --> 00:32:44,694 We see here in this 858 00:32:44,729 --> 00:32:46,563 one archaeological spot an 859 00:32:46,597 --> 00:32:48,665 actual physical representation 860 00:32:48,700 --> 00:32:50,667 of what the Mayans felt the soul 861 00:32:50,702 --> 00:32:52,702 had to go through. 862 00:32:52,703 --> 00:32:54,203 Might, perhaps, 863 00:32:54,238 --> 00:32:56,038 this cave of stalactites, sharp 864 00:32:56,073 --> 00:32:57,673 enough to Pierce flesh, 865 00:32:57,708 --> 00:32:59,508 represent the "room of knives" 866 00:32:59,543 --> 00:33:01,576 in the Popol Vuh? 867 00:33:01,611 --> 00:33:03,411 There is also, arguably, a 868 00:33:03,446 --> 00:33:05,380 "room of bats," and a trench 869 00:33:05,414 --> 00:33:06,681 that might once have been 870 00:33:06,715 --> 00:33:08,516 filled with blood, like the 871 00:33:08,551 --> 00:33:10,084 river of blood in the story 872 00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:11,452 that Mayan pilgrims had to 873 00:33:11,487 --> 00:33:13,187 cross over. 874 00:33:13,222 --> 00:33:14,722 There are places of cold and 875 00:33:14,757 --> 00:33:17,526 darkness... and even a room with 876 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,062 carvings of jaguars. 877 00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:23,533 These caves were 878 00:33:23,567 --> 00:33:25,202 littered with large patches of 879 00:33:25,236 --> 00:33:26,737 spiders and reptiles and all 880 00:33:26,771 --> 00:33:29,106 types of tumultuous things that 881 00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:30,441 a human really wouldn't want to 882 00:33:30,475 --> 00:33:32,610 be exposed to. 883 00:33:32,645 --> 00:33:34,446 Although some 884 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,080 archaeologists claim this 885 00:33:36,115 --> 00:33:37,716 unique site was simply modeled 886 00:33:37,750 --> 00:33:39,384 after the description of 887 00:33:39,418 --> 00:33:41,620 Xibalba in the Popol Vuh, de 888 00:33:41,654 --> 00:33:43,221 Anda insists that items from 889 00:33:43,254 --> 00:33:45,220 the cave date back to a time 890 00:33:45,255 --> 00:33:47,122 centuries before the Mayan holy 891 00:33:47,157 --> 00:33:50,091 book was written. 892 00:33:50,126 --> 00:33:51,493 It's not that there 893 00:33:51,527 --> 00:33:53,094 was this document and 894 00:33:53,129 --> 00:33:55,430 they, uh, tried to, uh, imitate 895 00:33:55,465 --> 00:33:57,099 what the document said. 896 00:33:57,133 --> 00:33:58,600 I think it's all the other way 897 00:33:58,635 --> 00:34:00,335 around. 898 00:34:00,370 --> 00:34:03,105 We believe that we have found 899 00:34:03,139 --> 00:34:04,406 the particular Xibalba of the 900 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,408 central part of the Yucat�n. 901 00:34:06,443 --> 00:34:08,177 This is why we do believe it was 902 00:34:08,211 --> 00:34:11,147 a real place. 903 00:34:11,181 --> 00:34:12,581 But if Xibalba is 904 00:34:12,615 --> 00:34:14,115 real, were the lords of the 905 00:34:14,150 --> 00:34:17,651 dead also real? 906 00:34:17,686 --> 00:34:19,452 And if so, who or what were 907 00:34:19,487 --> 00:34:22,188 they? 908 00:34:22,189 --> 00:34:24,523 According to the 909 00:34:24,557 --> 00:34:26,424 Chilam Balam book, which is the 910 00:34:26,459 --> 00:34:28,592 book of the Jaguar priests, it 911 00:34:28,627 --> 00:34:30,194 says in there, that at that 912 00:34:30,228 --> 00:34:34,431 time "the road to the stars 913 00:34:34,465 --> 00:34:37,134 descended from the sky, and the 914 00:34:37,168 --> 00:34:42,573 "13 and nine gods came to earth." 915 00:34:42,574 --> 00:34:43,641 I'm sorry. 916 00:34:43,675 --> 00:34:45,209 "Road to the stars," "descended 917 00:34:45,243 --> 00:34:46,210 from the sky." 918 00:34:46,244 --> 00:34:47,444 Can it be more clear? 919 00:34:47,479 --> 00:34:48,712 I don't think so. 920 00:34:48,747 --> 00:34:50,181 Right there we have a direct 921 00:34:50,215 --> 00:34:52,150 reference to someone that has 922 00:34:52,184 --> 00:34:54,818 arrived from outer space, and 923 00:34:54,853 --> 00:34:56,186 we have a written record about 924 00:34:56,220 --> 00:34:57,621 this. 925 00:34:57,655 --> 00:34:59,622 Could the "lords of 926 00:34:59,656 --> 00:35:02,324 Xibalba" and other Mayan gods 927 00:35:02,359 --> 00:35:03,625 really have been 928 00:35:03,660 --> 00:35:07,428 extraterrestrial travelers? 929 00:35:07,462 --> 00:35:10,164 If so, why did they display 930 00:35:10,198 --> 00:35:11,765 such a thirst for blood and 931 00:35:11,799 --> 00:35:14,167 torture? 932 00:35:14,168 --> 00:35:15,168 I do not believe 933 00:35:15,202 --> 00:35:16,202 human sacrifice was 934 00:35:16,237 --> 00:35:18,204 originally taught by the ets. 935 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,606 I believe it came in the 936 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,341 aftermath of when the original 937 00:35:21,375 --> 00:35:23,143 teachers of humankind had 938 00:35:23,177 --> 00:35:25,645 arrived. 939 00:35:25,646 --> 00:35:28,147 The ancient gods, which were 940 00:35:28,182 --> 00:35:29,382 really just humans from 941 00:35:29,416 --> 00:35:31,550 another world, withdrew from the 942 00:35:31,584 --> 00:35:33,552 area, and the people became 943 00:35:33,586 --> 00:35:35,153 distraught. 944 00:35:35,187 --> 00:35:36,487 The more they became 945 00:35:36,522 --> 00:35:39,157 distraught, the more they took 946 00:35:39,191 --> 00:35:40,792 the original mythology and 947 00:35:40,826 --> 00:35:42,360 interpreted it in a much more 948 00:35:42,394 --> 00:35:43,794 literal way. 949 00:35:43,829 --> 00:35:45,362 So what might have started out 950 00:35:45,397 --> 00:35:47,164 as the myth about the sun dying 951 00:35:47,198 --> 00:35:49,166 and being reborn when it sinks 952 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:50,801 below the horizon, becomes 953 00:35:50,835 --> 00:35:52,669 literally the idea of killing 954 00:35:52,703 --> 00:35:54,470 people to make sure that the 955 00:35:54,505 --> 00:35:57,640 sun is gonna come back up. 956 00:35:57,674 --> 00:35:59,174 As archaeologists 957 00:35:59,209 --> 00:36:00,809 and explorers continue to 958 00:36:00,843 --> 00:36:03,211 ununcover sites where legend and 959 00:36:03,245 --> 00:36:05,580 reality meet, could there be 960 00:36:05,614 --> 00:36:07,715 even more evidence that 961 00:36:07,749 --> 00:36:09,717 mankind's history on this planet 962 00:36:09,751 --> 00:36:11,684 is much more profound than what 963 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,421 we currently understand? 964 00:36:14,455 --> 00:36:15,689 There are those who believe 965 00:36:15,723 --> 00:36:17,624 the secret lies even deeper 966 00:36:17,658 --> 00:36:19,559 within the earth... 967 00:36:19,593 --> 00:36:23,229 As deep as its very core. 968 00:36:31,583 --> 00:36:34,351 The north pole... 969 00:36:34,385 --> 00:36:35,819 a seemingly endless wasteland of 970 00:36:35,853 --> 00:36:38,589 arctic ice, shrouded in darkness 971 00:36:38,623 --> 00:36:41,925 for six months of every year. 972 00:36:41,959 --> 00:36:44,360 Here, there is no food, no 973 00:36:44,395 --> 00:36:46,529 shelter, not even a cave to 974 00:36:46,563 --> 00:36:48,364 hide from the slashing winds 975 00:36:48,398 --> 00:36:49,932 and temperatures that can dive 976 00:36:49,967 --> 00:36:53,569 to 90 degrees below zero. 977 00:36:53,570 --> 00:36:55,538 But according to mainstream 978 00:36:55,572 --> 00:36:57,774 geology, beneath the pole and 979 00:36:57,809 --> 00:36:59,576 the arctic ocean lies the 980 00:36:59,611 --> 00:37:02,079 earth's mostly rocky crust, up 981 00:37:02,114 --> 00:37:05,049 to 30 Miles thick. 982 00:37:05,084 --> 00:37:06,951 Below this is molten rock, 983 00:37:07,019 --> 00:37:08,586 heated by the planet's spinning 984 00:37:08,620 --> 00:37:10,788 core, with a solid center of 985 00:37:10,823 --> 00:37:12,557 iron and nickel the size of the 986 00:37:12,591 --> 00:37:14,860 moon. 987 00:37:14,861 --> 00:37:16,562 Scientists have deduced this 988 00:37:16,596 --> 00:37:17,829 information from measurements 989 00:37:17,863 --> 00:37:21,066 of earth's gravity, magnetism 990 00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:23,602 and seismic waves. 991 00:37:23,636 --> 00:37:26,004 But no one has ever seen these 992 00:37:26,038 --> 00:37:28,005 areas. 993 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,807 Could the frozen surface of the 994 00:37:29,842 --> 00:37:32,610 pole be hiding a gateway to a 995 00:37:32,644 --> 00:37:37,448 world within our surface world? 996 00:37:37,483 --> 00:37:40,084 There are those who believe the 997 00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:42,520 answer is, "yes." 998 00:37:44,490 --> 00:37:46,758 And what they believe is known 999 00:37:46,792 --> 00:37:49,794 as the hollow earth theory. 1000 00:37:49,795 --> 00:37:51,596 The hollow 1001 00:37:51,630 --> 00:37:53,699 earth theory is that, this earth 1002 00:37:53,733 --> 00:37:56,869 is not molten inside. 1003 00:37:56,870 --> 00:37:59,037 It is actually hollow, and that 1004 00:37:59,072 --> 00:38:00,139 suspended in the hollow of the 1005 00:38:00,173 --> 00:38:02,775 earth is an inner sun. 1006 00:38:04,644 --> 00:38:05,945 Surprisingly, the 1007 00:38:05,979 --> 00:38:07,813 notion of a hollow earth was 1008 00:38:07,847 --> 00:38:10,116 first given scientific credence 1009 00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:11,617 by one of the founders of 1010 00:38:11,652 --> 00:38:14,020 modern astronomy. 1011 00:38:14,055 --> 00:38:15,622 The idea that 1012 00:38:15,656 --> 00:38:17,724 the earth might be hollow, as a 1013 00:38:17,758 --> 00:38:19,792 scientific notion, dates back 1014 00:38:19,827 --> 00:38:21,827 to the astronomer Edmund Halley 1015 00:38:21,862 --> 00:38:26,066 who is best known for his comet. 1016 00:38:26,067 --> 00:38:29,669 In 1691 he presented to the 1017 00:38:29,704 --> 00:38:31,872 London royal society his 1018 00:38:31,906 --> 00:38:34,641 hypothesis that the earth is 1019 00:38:34,676 --> 00:38:37,144 hollow and contains several 1020 00:38:37,178 --> 00:38:39,746 little spheres inside. 1021 00:38:39,747 --> 00:38:41,749 Sort of like those Russian 1022 00:38:41,784 --> 00:38:43,818 Matryoshska dolls. 1023 00:38:43,852 --> 00:38:45,820 He was hypothesizing this for a 1024 00:38:45,854 --> 00:38:48,056 very practical reason. 1025 00:38:48,090 --> 00:38:50,826 The earth's magnetic pole moved 1026 00:38:50,860 --> 00:38:52,761 a little bit every year to the 1027 00:38:52,795 --> 00:38:56,164 west, and his idea was that our 1028 00:38:56,199 --> 00:38:59,000 outer sphere had inner spheres 1029 00:38:59,034 --> 00:39:00,735 that turned independently of 1030 00:39:00,769 --> 00:39:03,037 the outer one. 1031 00:39:03,071 --> 00:39:05,005 He also suggested that these 1032 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,840 interior spheres would also be 1033 00:39:06,874 --> 00:39:10,743 able to support life. 1034 00:39:10,778 --> 00:39:12,846 In 1818, former 1035 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,215 U.S. army Captain John Cleves 1036 00:39:15,249 --> 00:39:18,552 Symmes, Jr., announced that 1037 00:39:18,587 --> 00:39:19,854 there were vast openings at each 1038 00:39:19,888 --> 00:39:22,190 pole where we could enter 1039 00:39:22,224 --> 00:39:24,025 inner earth. 1040 00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:26,628 With Symmes, the 1041 00:39:26,663 --> 00:39:28,064 idea of a hollow earth gets tied 1042 00:39:28,098 --> 00:39:30,900 into exploring for the pole. 1043 00:39:30,935 --> 00:39:32,035 At this point, nobody had 1044 00:39:32,069 --> 00:39:33,203 actually seen Antarctica, for 1045 00:39:33,237 --> 00:39:34,871 instance. 1046 00:39:34,905 --> 00:39:37,707 The hollow earth 1047 00:39:37,741 --> 00:39:39,141 Theo again captured the 1048 00:39:39,176 --> 00:39:42,044 public's imagination in 1864 1049 00:39:42,078 --> 00:39:44,146 with the release of Jules 1050 00:39:44,180 --> 00:39:46,114 Verne's second novel, a journey 1051 00:39:46,148 --> 00:39:48,983 to the center of the earth. 1052 00:39:49,018 --> 00:39:50,985 The novel takes an 1053 00:39:51,019 --> 00:39:53,755 Icelandic guide and a Professor 1054 00:39:53,789 --> 00:39:55,991 and a young man down into the 1055 00:39:56,025 --> 00:39:58,093 center of the earth. 1056 00:39:58,128 --> 00:39:59,128 Journey to the center of the 1057 00:39:59,162 --> 00:40:00,596 earth could really have been 1058 00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:01,898 called a journey to the center 1059 00:40:01,932 --> 00:40:03,733 of geology. 1060 00:40:03,767 --> 00:40:05,168 Geology and paleontology were a 1061 00:40:05,202 --> 00:40:06,903 very hot topic in the early 1062 00:40:06,938 --> 00:40:09,239 1860's and there's a lot of 1063 00:40:09,274 --> 00:40:11,108 discussion of that in journey 1064 00:40:11,143 --> 00:40:13,778 to the center of the earth. 1065 00:40:13,812 --> 00:40:15,079 >> Narrator but while verne 1066 00:40:15,114 --> 00:40:16,647 popularized the idea that 1067 00:40:16,682 --> 00:40:17,915 extinct life forms might still 1068 00:40:17,950 --> 00:40:20,184 exist inside the earth, others 1069 00:40:20,218 --> 00:40:21,919 envisioned that the earth 1070 00:40:21,953 --> 00:40:23,854 contained advanced underground 1071 00:40:23,889 --> 00:40:25,789 civilizations. 1072 00:40:25,824 --> 00:40:27,257 Supposedly, they 1073 00:40:27,292 --> 00:40:30,126 have advanced technology. 1074 00:40:30,161 --> 00:40:31,861 They've got ray guns and 1075 00:40:31,896 --> 00:40:33,129 special weapons. 1076 00:40:33,130 --> 00:40:35,699 And even they have flying 1077 00:40:35,733 --> 00:40:38,668 saucers, other craft like that. 1078 00:40:38,669 --> 00:40:40,637 But is there any 1079 00:40:40,671 --> 00:40:42,639 evidence that such fantastic 1080 00:40:42,674 --> 00:40:44,275 claims could be true? 1081 00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:46,277 And has anyone actually been to 1082 00:40:46,312 --> 00:40:49,047 the world within our earth? 1083 00:40:49,081 --> 00:40:50,215 Proponents of the hollow earth 1084 00:40:50,249 --> 00:40:52,050 theory say, "yes," and that 1085 00:40:52,085 --> 00:40:53,785 one of the explorers was no 1086 00:40:53,820 --> 00:40:55,787 less a luminary than famed 1087 00:40:55,821 --> 00:40:57,889 polar pioneer admiral Richard e. 1088 00:40:57,923 --> 00:40:59,657 Byrd. 1089 00:40:59,691 --> 00:41:01,692 In the 1920s, byrd made world 1090 00:41:01,727 --> 00:41:03,728 headlines by flying over the 1091 00:41:03,762 --> 00:41:05,663 north pole, and by becoming the 1092 00:41:05,697 --> 00:41:07,899 first man to fly solo over the 1093 00:41:07,933 --> 00:41:10,134 South pole. 1094 00:41:10,169 --> 00:41:12,736 But hollow earth theorists 1095 00:41:12,771 --> 00:41:14,071 believe that the famous 1096 00:41:14,105 --> 00:41:16,907 explorer went even farther, and 1097 00:41:16,941 --> 00:41:21,144 that, on February 19, 1947, 1098 00:41:21,179 --> 00:41:23,046 admiral byrd piloted a plane 1099 00:41:23,081 --> 00:41:24,214 through a hole near the north 1100 00:41:24,248 --> 00:41:26,317 pole into the interior of the 1101 00:41:26,351 --> 00:41:28,185 earth. 1102 00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:29,753 A flying saucer type 1103 00:41:29,787 --> 00:41:31,321 craft took control of his 1104 00:41:31,356 --> 00:41:33,090 airplane, with some kind of 1105 00:41:33,124 --> 00:41:37,762 tractor beam... and they landed 1106 00:41:37,796 --> 00:41:39,830 him near an inner earth city. 1107 00:41:39,865 --> 00:41:41,199 And the message that they had 1108 00:41:41,233 --> 00:41:43,167 for us was that they consider 1109 00:41:43,202 --> 00:41:45,236 themselves the guardians of 1110 00:41:45,271 --> 00:41:47,739 this planet, okay? 1111 00:41:47,774 --> 00:41:49,241 He says, "we don't approve of 1112 00:41:49,275 --> 00:41:51,244 you people using nuclear 1113 00:41:51,278 --> 00:41:52,378 weapons." 1114 00:41:52,413 --> 00:41:53,746 We had just blown up a couple 1115 00:41:53,781 --> 00:41:56,282 of cities in Japan a couple of 1116 00:41:56,316 --> 00:41:59,852 years before, so this was the 1117 00:41:59,886 --> 00:42:02,354 message that he was given. 1118 00:42:02,389 --> 00:42:04,724 But when he got to Washington, 1119 00:42:04,758 --> 00:42:06,225 they put a lid of secrecy on 1120 00:42:06,259 --> 00:42:08,093 this, that this was not to go 1121 00:42:08,128 --> 00:42:10,796 out. 1122 00:42:10,830 --> 00:42:12,730 Some say admiral 1123 00:42:12,765 --> 00:42:14,132 Byrd's own account of this 1124 00:42:14,166 --> 00:42:16,367 flight into the hollow earth is 1125 00:42:16,402 --> 00:42:18,369 detailed in his secret diary, 1126 00:42:18,404 --> 00:42:21,105 published in the 1990s, almost 1127 00:42:21,140 --> 00:42:23,740 four decades after his death. 1128 00:42:23,775 --> 00:42:25,876 But skeptics claim the diary is 1129 00:42:25,910 --> 00:42:28,745 a forgery and point out that in 1130 00:42:28,780 --> 00:42:31,247 February 1947, at the time 1131 00:42:31,315 --> 00:42:33,082 admiral byrd was supposedly 1132 00:42:33,117 --> 00:42:34,750 visiting this other world 1133 00:42:34,785 --> 00:42:37,286 underneath the north pole, he 1134 00:42:37,321 --> 00:42:39,155 was actually part of a vast 1135 00:42:39,190 --> 00:42:42,225 4,700-man naval exploration 1136 00:42:42,259 --> 00:42:44,427 called "operation high jump," 1137 00:42:44,462 --> 00:42:46,830 12,000 Miles away, near the 1138 00:42:46,864 --> 00:42:49,399 South pole. 1139 00:42:49,434 --> 00:42:51,769 But could Byrd's inclusion in 1140 00:42:51,804 --> 00:42:53,404 this large military operation 1141 00:42:53,439 --> 00:42:55,841 at the South pole have been 1142 00:42:55,875 --> 00:42:58,143 merely a cover story? 1143 00:42:58,178 --> 00:43:00,913 Some people claim it was, and 1144 00:43:00,947 --> 00:43:02,916 this allowed him to slip away 1145 00:43:02,950 --> 00:43:04,918 to the other end of the planet, 1146 00:43:04,952 --> 00:43:07,821 unnoticed by the media. 1147 00:43:07,822 --> 00:43:08,789 Admiral 1148 00:43:08,824 --> 00:43:10,291 byrd, the rumor was, found a 1149 00:43:10,326 --> 00:43:12,293 rld of flying machines, and 1150 00:43:12,327 --> 00:43:14,095 people, and... more advanced 1151 00:43:14,129 --> 00:43:15,196 than us... 1152 00:43:15,230 --> 00:43:16,163 And that they helped him, and 1153 00:43:16,197 --> 00:43:18,466 then he left again. 1154 00:43:18,467 --> 00:43:20,301 It's a myth. 1155 00:43:20,335 --> 00:43:21,803 Nobody's really been able to 1156 00:43:21,837 --> 00:43:24,805 prove it, but it's a great myth. 1157 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,340 Could there really 1158 00:43:26,374 --> 00:43:28,175 be vast, open spaces within the 1159 00:43:28,209 --> 00:43:29,810 earth where advanced 1160 00:43:29,844 --> 00:43:32,446 civilizations live? 1161 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,381 Could extraterrestrial gods 1162 00:43:34,415 --> 00:43:37,451 really have come to earth, 1163 00:43:37,485 --> 00:43:39,186 centuries ago, and hidden the 1164 00:43:39,221 --> 00:43:40,454 evidence of their journeys deep 1165 00:43:40,488 --> 00:43:43,224 within caves and tunnels? 1166 00:43:43,258 --> 00:43:44,825 Perhaps we have only just 1167 00:43:44,860 --> 00:43:46,193 scratched the surface of our 1168 00:43:46,228 --> 00:43:49,163 planet's underground mysteries. 1169 00:43:49,197 --> 00:43:51,466 If so, what clues to our 1170 00:43:51,500 --> 00:43:53,200 distant past might still be 1171 00:43:53,235 --> 00:43:54,969 waiting to be found, and 1172 00:43:55,003 --> 00:43:57,137 hiding in the darkness? 76501
