1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,002
A mighty empire ruled by
the descendants of gods.
2
00:00:00,002 --> 00:00:00,004
A remote island where stone
giants walked the Earth.
3
00:00:00,004 --> 00:00:00,005
And a fertile garden where
modern man was born.
4
00:00:00,005 --> 00:00:00,007
Are the legends behind these ancient
locations really based on fact?
5
00:00:00,007 --> 00:00:00,008
If so, why did they exist?
6
00:00:00,008 --> 00:00:00,009
And why have the answers
been lost to history?
7
00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:00,009
How in the heck did they make these?
8
00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:00,010
How did they move them?
9
00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:00,010
Nobody has the answer.
10
00:00:00,011 --> 00:00:00,012
It may well be that the Garden
of Eden today is underwater.
11
00:00:00,013 --> 00:00:00,013
These cultures were connected by
12
00:00:00,013 --> 00:00:00,014
flying machines operated by
13
00:00:00,014 --> 00:00:00,015
extraterrestrials.
14
00:00:00,015 --> 00:00:00,016
Millions of people
around the world believe
15
00:00:00,016 --> 00:00:00,017
we have been visited in the past
by extraterrestrial beings.
16
00:00:00,017 --> 00:00:00,018
What if it were true?
17
00:00:00,018 --> 00:00:00,020
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
18
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:00,020
And might we find proof by
19
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:00,022
searching for our planet's
mysterious lost worlds?

Central America
22
00:00:00,032 --> 00:00:00,032
In a fertile valley between
23
00:00:00,032 --> 00:00:00,034
the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean
Sea, in what is now Honduras,
24
00:00:00,034 --> 00:00:00,035
lie the monumental ruins of Copan.
25
00:00:00,035 --> 00:00:00,036
This archaeological site is
believed to have been the
26
00:00:00,036 --> 00:00:00,038
cultural and political center of
the once mighty Maya civilization
27
00:00:00,038 --> 00:00:00,039
that thrived between
2000 BC and 800 AD.
28
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:00,041
People have called Copan the
paradise of Mesoamerica
29
00:00:00,041 --> 00:00:00,043
because it was such a place
for the arts and humanities
30
00:00:00,043 --> 00:00:00,044
The sculpture is beautiful.
31
00:00:00,044 --> 00:00:00,045
Architecture is just magnificent.
32
00:00:00,045 --> 00:00:00,046
It is believed that,
at one time, Copan was
33
00:00:00,046 --> 00:00:00,047
inhabited by as many
as 20,000 people
34
00:00:00,047 --> 00:00:00,048
and covered an area
of ten square miles.
35
00:00:00,048 --> 00:00:00,049
But in the ninth century,
this incredible Mayan city
36
00:00:00,049 --> 00:00:00,050
was abandoned, and
its people vanished.
37
00:00:00,051 --> 00:00:00,052
When Spanish conquistadors
arrived in the 16th century,
38
00:00:00,052 --> 00:00:00,053
they found only a
few farming hamlets.
39
00:00:00,053 --> 00:00:00,054
But why?
40
00:00:00,054 --> 00:00:00,054
They decimated their environment.
41
00:00:00,054 --> 00:00:00,054
Warfare became endemic.
42
00:00:00,055 --> 00:00:00,055
And it ended.
43
00:00:00,055 --> 00:00:00,056
And people left.
44
00:00:00,056 --> 00:00:00,056
They walked away.
45
00:00:00,056 --> 00:00:00,057
To some extend, the idea that the
Mayans became a lost culture
46
00:00:00,057 --> 00:00:00,058
is a yes and a no.
47
00:00:00,058 --> 00:00:00,058
We know that they stopped building.
48
00:00:00,058 --> 00:00:00,060
But at the very heart of the Mayan,
it's a belief, it's a religion.
49
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:00,060
which continues to
beaten to this very day.
50
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:00,062
saying, please pay attention to us because
we have this vast body of knowledge
51
00:00:00,062 --> 00:00:00,062
"want to share with the world."
52
00:00:00,064 --> 00:00:00,065
At Copan, the Mayan had
built a complex of
53
00:00:00,065 --> 00:00:00,066
monuments, temples and plazas,
as well as sculptured
54
00:00:00,066 --> 00:00:00,067
stone pillars depicting ancient kings.
55
00:00:00,067 --> 00:00:00,069
The Maya were also one of the
earliest ancient civilizations
56
00:00:00,069 --> 00:00:00,069
to create a written language.
57
00:00:00,069 --> 00:00:00,071
In the last 20, 30 years,
it's been a huge advance in
58
00:00:00,071 --> 00:00:00,071
the decoding of their hieroglyphs.
59
00:00:00,072 --> 00:00:00,072
This is obvious happened in our
generation is still ongoing.
60
00:00:00,072 --> 00:00:00,073
Might a closer look at
the Mayan stone carvings
61
00:00:00,073 --> 00:00:00,075
and their hieroglyphs provide
proof of contact with
62
00:00:00,075 --> 00:00:00,075
extraterrestrials at Copan?
63
00:00:00,075 --> 00:00:00,077
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, the answer is yes.
64
00:00:00,077 --> 00:00:00,078
Some of the large stautes at Copan
65
00:00:00,078 --> 00:00:00,079
are infantly fascinating to me
the gear they are wearing
66
00:00:00,079 --> 00:00:00,080
is very reminiscent of
something technological.
67
00:00:00,081 --> 00:00:00,082
One of the figures has a
box with tubes coming out
68
00:00:00,082 --> 00:00:00,083
and buttons and just very weird things.
69
00:00:00,084 --> 00:00:00,084
These statues look like
some type of a being
70
00:00:00,085 --> 00:00:00,085
wearing an astronaut suit.
71
00:00:00,085 --> 00:00:00,087
And, in my opinion, that means
that we were visited by some
72
00:00:00,087 --> 00:00:00,087
type of extraterrestrials who
73
00:00:00,087 --> 00:00:00,089
were very similar in appearance
to us, because according to the
74
00:00:00,089 --> 00:00:00,090
ancient texts, we were
created in their image.
75
00:00:00,091 --> 00:00:00,092
Researchers working in Copan
have also found stone sculptures
76
00:00:00,092 --> 00:00:00,093
called stelae, which have
provoked controversy since
77
00:00:00,093 --> 00:00:00,094
the site was discovered in 1576.
78
00:00:00,094 --> 00:00:00,096
And various interpretations of
the carvings suggest the Maya
79
00:00:00,096 --> 00:00:00,097
may have had knowledge of a world
far beyond their own continent.
80
00:00:00,097 --> 00:00:00,099
This is one of the curious
dragon sculptures here at Copan,
81
00:00:00,099 --> 00:00:00,100
of which there are many.
In fact, this very oriental statues
82
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:00,102
would look right at place in China
or some other Oriental country.
83
00:00:00,102 --> 00:00:00,104
Some archeologists believe that
they are elephants on either side
84
00:00:00,104 --> 00:00:00,105
of this Copan ruler.
85
00:00:00,105 --> 00:00:00,107
So why would there be, here at
Copan, such Asian motifs as
86
00:00:00,107 --> 00:00:00,109
elephants and dragons in a place
in Central America that is so
87
00:00:00,109 --> 00:00:00,110
far away from China
and Southeast Asia?
88
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:00,111
Is there some kind of
extraterrestrial connection
89
00:00:00,111 --> 00:00:00,112
between the Mayans and the Chinese,
90
00:00:00,112 --> 00:00:00,113
and an origin for both
that comes from the stars?
91
00:00:00,115 --> 00:00:00,115
How could the early
Maya of Central America
92
00:00:00,115 --> 00:00:00,117
have had knowledge possessed
by people living in Asia--
93
00:00:00,117 --> 00:00:00,118
on the other side of
the Pacific Ocean?
94
00:00:00,118 --> 00:00:00,119
One of the basic
premises of the ancient
95
00:00:00,119 --> 00:00:00,120
astronaut theory suggests that
there was contact between
96
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,121
ancient cultures way before
we give them credit.
97
00:00:00,122 --> 00:00:00,123
These ancient cultures were, in
fact, connected by flying machines,
98
00:00:00,124 --> 00:00:00,125
and those flying machines
were usually operated
99
00:00:00,125 --> 00:00:00,126
by extraterrestrials.
100
00:00:00,126 --> 00:00:00,127
And especially in the Mayan
carvings, we find many
101
00:00:00,127 --> 00:00:00,128
references of the gods
descending from the sky
102
00:00:00,128 --> 00:00:00,129
in flying serpents.
103
00:00:00,129 --> 00:00:00,130
Now, do flying serpents
actually exist?
104
00:00:00,130 --> 00:00:00,131
Of course not.
105
00:00:00,131 --> 00:00:00,132
But it is a beautiful and very
106
00:00:00,132 --> 00:00:00,134
poetic description of something
that is rooted in technology.
107
00:00:00,135 --> 00:00:00,137
Due to the many strange
carvings found at Copan really
108
00:00:00,137 --> 00:00:00,138
provide proof of contact between
the Maya and otherworldly beings?
109
00:00:00,139 --> 00:00:00,140
And if so, might that contact
have produced offspring
110
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:00,141
that could also be traced to
an extraterrestrial source?
111
00:00:00,142 --> 00:00:00,143
On the west side of the main
temple at Copan stands a 63-step
112
00:00:00,143 --> 00:00:00,144
structure known as the
Hieroglyphic Stairway.
113
00:00:00,144 --> 00:00:00,146
It contains more than 1,200
stones carved with symbols that
114
00:00:00,146 --> 00:00:00,147
record the history of
the kings of Copan.
115
00:00:00,147 --> 00:00:00,148
This Hieroglyphic Stairway
is the longest Mayan
116
00:00:00,148 --> 00:00:00,148
inscription in the world.
117
00:00:00,148 --> 00:00:00,150
It emphasizes the divine right
of the 16 rulers of the Copan
118
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:00,151
dynasty to rule their subjects--
119
00:00:00,151 --> 00:00:00,152
a power given to them by the gods.
120
00:00:00,153 --> 00:00:00,154
The Hieroglyphic Stairway mentions
the various rulers of Copan.
121
00:00:00,155 --> 00:00:00,156
And talks about them
in a semi divine sense.
122
00:00:00,157 --> 00:00:00,158
So, they are human, they're mortal,
but they are much more than that.
123
00:00:00,158 --> 00:00:00,158
They are royal.
124
00:00:00,158 --> 00:00:00,160
They have a spirit in their blood,
and Maya called it Xuit Lel.
125
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,162
A Xuit Lel is in the blood and
is the most powerful thing to
126
00:00:00,162 --> 00:00:00,162
get access to the supernatural.
127
00:00:00,163 --> 00:00:00,163
So a king's Xuit Lel,
128
00:00:00,163 --> 00:00:00,165
when shed in a bloodletting ceremony
and burned with copal incense,
129
00:00:00,165 --> 00:00:00,166
goes up into the heavens and
takes a message to the deities,
130
00:00:00,166 --> 00:00:00,167
and they did things for the Maya.
131
00:00:00,167 --> 00:00:00,169
Could the Maya rulers really
have been the descendants
132
00:00:00,169 --> 00:00:00,170
of extraterrestrials, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe?
133
00:00:00,171 --> 00:00:00,172
Perhaps conclusive evidence can
be found in what is widely believed
134
00:00:00,172 --> 00:00:00,173
to be the most advanced celestial
calendar system of ancient times.
135
00:00:00,174 --> 00:00:00,175
The Mayas had most the
most precise calendar
136
00:00:00,175 --> 00:00:00,176
of all the people in antiquity,
even the Babylonian, the Sumerian
137
00:00:00,176 --> 00:00:00,178
They did not only observed
our planetary system
138
00:00:00,178 --> 00:00:00,178
They observed Orion,
139
00:00:00,179 --> 00:00:00,179
they observed Sirius
140
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:00,180
and all the far away systems.
141
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:00,181
One of the things
that says about the Maya part
142
00:00:00,181 --> 00:00:00,182
it was the their ability to monitor
the passage of astronomical
143
00:00:00,182 --> 00:00:00,183
events and to track the
movement of constellations,
144
00:00:00,183 --> 00:00:00,183
to predict eclipses
145
00:00:00,183 --> 00:00:00,184
They really developed some
of this knowledge and skills
146
00:00:00,184 --> 00:00:00,185
to a pretty high degree.
147
00:00:00,185 --> 00:00:00,185
It's remarkable.
148
00:00:00,185 --> 00:00:00,187
No telescopes, no metal,
149
00:00:00,187 --> 00:00:00,188
yet the ability to predict
time and advance in time
150
00:00:00,188 --> 00:00:00,189
in a way that it was really
unprecedented in the world.
151
00:00:00,190 --> 00:00:00,191
But why did the Maya create
such precise maps of the Cosmos?
152
00:00:00,191 --> 00:00:00,193
According to ancient astronauts theorists,
the Maya's knowledge of the stars,
153
00:00:00,193 --> 00:00:00,194
in fact, came to them, from the stars,
154
00:00:00,194 --> 00:00:00,195
brought by extraterrestrial beings.
155
00:00:00,195 --> 00:00:00,196
When it comes to the ancient
Maya that creation mythology
156
00:00:00,196 --> 00:00:00,197
evokes these legends, which
say somewhere, just south
157
00:00:00,197 --> 00:00:00,198
of Orion's belt is this place
where life originated from
158
00:00:00,198 --> 00:00:00,199
and they came to planet
Earth on 1,200 BC
159
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:00,200
when the ancient Mayans said
the gods came to Earth.
160
00:00:00,201 --> 00:00:00,201
Their teachers were the gods,
161
00:00:00,201 --> 00:00:00,202
and the gods were
the extraterrestrials.
162
00:00:00,202 --> 00:00:00,203
If beings from another
star system really came
163
00:00:00,203 --> 00:00:00,204
to Earth in the ancient past,
did they create the foundations
164
00:00:00,204 --> 00:00:00,205
of Mayan civilization and
breed with its rulers?
165
00:00:00,206 --> 00:00:00,207
Might they have also visited
other areas of our planet?
166
00:00:00,207 --> 00:00:00,208
Perhaps further evidence can be
found at a desolate mountain
167
00:00:00,208 --> 00:00:00,210
kingdom visited by ancient priests
from the East as the Magi.
168
00:00:00,211 --> 00:00:00,211
Southeastern Turkey.
169
00:00:00,211 --> 00:00:00,213
7,000 feet high, atop a barren
mountain called Nemrud Dagi,
170
00:00:00,213 --> 00:00:00,214
lie the ruins of the lost
Kingdom of Commagene.
171
00:00:00,214 --> 00:00:00,216
Here, in 62 BC, a mysterious
royal sanctuary was built by
172
00:00:00,216 --> 00:00:00,217
King Antiochus I.
173
00:00:00,217 --> 00:00:00,219
Colossal statues were created of
lions and eagles, and Persian
174
00:00:00,219 --> 00:00:00,220
and Greek gods, as well as two
175
00:00:00,220 --> 00:00:00,221
massive sculptures
of the king himself.
176
00:00:00,221 --> 00:00:00,222
Now, what Antiochus was
trying to do was to produce
177
00:00:00,222 --> 00:00:00,224
a synthesis, a new version
of the old religions.
178
00:00:00,224 --> 00:00:00,225
And what he basically did was to
take the Persian gods and put
179
00:00:00,225 --> 00:00:00,226
them into Greek dress.
180
00:00:00,226 --> 00:00:00,227
So you've got a synthesis
happening of the Persian gods
181
00:00:00,227 --> 00:00:00,228
with their Greek equivalents.
182
00:00:00,229 --> 00:00:00,229
The reason he build a
colossal statue of himself
183
00:00:00,229 --> 00:00:00,230
among the gods was, I guess,
a presumption on his part
184
00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:00,231
that he would indeed ascend to
heaven and eventually be among them.
185
00:00:00,232 --> 00:00:00,233
The conical peak was the
highest point in the
186
00:00:00,233 --> 00:00:00,233
kingdom of King Antiochus.
187
00:00:00,233 --> 00:00:00,235
Measuring 150 feet high and 500
feet wide, it is man-made with
188
00:00:00,235 --> 00:00:00,236
countless small limestone rocks,
189
00:00:00,236 --> 00:00:00,237
and was said to be the location
of the king's royal tomb.
190
00:00:00,238 --> 00:00:00,239
Researchers believe the memorial
was originally built as two large plazas.
191
00:00:00,239 --> 00:00:00,240
The one on the east side was
used to celebrate the birthday
192
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,241
of King Antiochus.
193
00:00:00,241 --> 00:00:00,242
The one on the west side was
used to commemorate the day in
194
00:00:00,242 --> 00:00:00,243
62 BC when Antiochus became the
leader of a secret society.
195
00:00:00,243 --> 00:00:00,244
I think it's meant to
symbolize Mount Olympus,
196
00:00:00,244 --> 00:00:00,245
the home of the gods.
197
00:00:00,246 --> 00:00:00,246
Because you've got the God
seated round it and then you've
198
00:00:00,246 --> 00:00:00,247
got a peak above them.
199
00:00:00,247 --> 00:00:00,248
I think this is all very symbolic.
200
00:00:00,248 --> 00:00:00,249
It's a stage for carrying out
certain rituals and performances.
201
00:00:00,249 --> 00:00:00,251
And he also shows himself
in the relief stelae
202
00:00:00,251 --> 00:00:00,252
shaking hands to all the gods,
as if the gods recognize him as
203
00:00:00,252 --> 00:00:00,253
one of their own and are
welcoming him into Heaven.
204
00:00:00,253 --> 00:00:00,254
Mysteriously, both the
site and the kingdom were
205
00:00:00,254 --> 00:00:00,255
abandoned in the first century AD.
206
00:00:00,255 --> 00:00:00,257
And, so far, the king's legendary
burial chamber has never been found.
207
00:00:00,257 --> 00:00:00,259
But another question
still just why did King
208
00:00:00,259 --> 00:00:00,260
Antiochus build this mysterious
and massive monumental sanctuary?
209
00:00:00,262 --> 00:00:00,263
According to researchers,
evidence found at Nemrud Dagi
210
00:00:00,263 --> 00:00:00,264
suggests the king had a profound
interest in, and understanding
211
00:00:00,264 --> 00:00:00,265
of star sciences.
212
00:00:00,265 --> 00:00:00,266
One example of the
advanced knowledge
213
00:00:00,266 --> 00:00:00,267
of astronomy that they
had is actually the
214
00:00:00,267 --> 00:00:00,268
lion horoscope, which gives
us a very precise date.
215
00:00:00,268 --> 00:00:00,269
We know that the position of
the stars on the lion's body
216
00:00:00,269 --> 00:00:00,270
fits with the positions of
stars of Leo given in a book
217
00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:00,271
of Eratosthenes,
who was a Greek
218
00:00:00,271 --> 00:00:00,272
astronomer from Alexandria who
wrote a book about the stars.
219
00:00:00,273 --> 00:00:00,274
The arrangement of stars
on the lion horoscope
220
00:00:00,274 --> 00:00:00,276
represented the constellation of
Leo as seen in the sky in July 62 BC,
221
00:00:00,276 --> 00:00:00,278
a configuration that wouldn't
be visible again for 25,000 years.
222
00:00:00,279 --> 00:00:00,280
Further evidence of the
exceptional knowledge of the
223
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,281
stars was found in a nearby shaft
224
00:00:00,281 --> 00:00:00,281
that Antiochus built
into the mountain.
225
00:00:00,282 --> 00:00:00,283
The shaft runs into
the mountainside there,
226
00:00:00,283 --> 00:00:00,284
at an angle of 35 degrees
to the horizontal,
227
00:00:00,284 --> 00:00:00,285
and it's about 150 meters long,
228
00:00:00,285 --> 00:00:00,286
and there's nothing at the bottom.
229
00:00:00,286 --> 00:00:00,287
Computer analysis reveals
that on two days of the
230
00:00:00,287 --> 00:00:00,288
year, the sun's rays would
illuminate the bottom of the
231
00:00:00,288 --> 00:00:00,290
shaft-- once when in line with
the constellation of Leo and
232
00:00:00,290 --> 00:00:00,291
once when in line with Orion.
233
00:00:00,291 --> 00:00:00,292
Now, that is a very
interesting point in the sky,
234
00:00:00,292 --> 00:00:00,294
because it's the path where the sun
crosses over the Milky Way, our galaxy.
235
00:00:00,294 --> 00:00:00,295
And that, to the ancient world,
was known as the Gate of Heaven.
236
00:00:00,295 --> 00:00:00,296
And there were two of these--
one where they cross in the
237
00:00:00,296 --> 00:00:00,296
north and the other where
they cross in the south.
238
00:00:00,296 --> 00:00:00,297
There were two Gates to Heaven.
239
00:00:00,297 --> 00:00:00,299
So we can understand that that
gateway would be where the soul
240
00:00:00,299 --> 00:00:00,300
of the king is going back to
heaven through Heaven's Gate.
241
00:00:00,301 --> 00:00:00,302
Given the fact that neither
Antiochus's tomb or
242
00:00:00,302 --> 00:00:00,303
remains have been found, is it
possible that the king actually
243
00:00:00,303 --> 00:00:00,303
journeyed to the stars through
244
00:00:00,303 --> 00:00:00,305
a heavenly gate, as ancient
astronaut theorists contend?
245
00:00:00,307 --> 00:00:00,308
During his life, researchers
believe Antiochus studied with
246
00:00:00,308 --> 00:00:00,309
a priestly sect of Eastern
astrologers called the Magi,
247
00:00:00,309 --> 00:00:00,310
who were thought to be able to
predict and even manipulate
248
00:00:00,310 --> 00:00:00,311
events based on their
knowledge of the stars.
249
00:00:00,312 --> 00:00:00,313
The Magi were renown priests
from the far near east.
250
00:00:00,313 --> 00:00:00,314
who had advanced
astronomical knowledge
251
00:00:00,314 --> 00:00:00,315
and it's well known that most of
the astronomers from the near east
252
00:00:00,315 --> 00:00:00,316
specifically ancient Irak, Sumer,
253
00:00:00,316 --> 00:00:00,317
recorded series of events
happening in the heavens
254
00:00:00,317 --> 00:00:00,317
over hundreds of thousands of years.
255
00:00:00,317 --> 00:00:00,319
This information was kept
on stone tablets, held very
256
00:00:00,319 --> 00:00:00,320
sacredly and only passed
down to the high priests.
257
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:00,321
According to the Gospel of Matthew
258
00:00:00,321 --> 00:00:00,322
in the New Testament, it was
three of these magi who followed
259
00:00:00,322 --> 00:00:00,323
celestial signs and stars
to the birthplace of Jesus
260
00:00:00,323 --> 00:00:00,324
in Bethlehem.
261
00:00:00,324 --> 00:00:00,324
A coincidence?
262
00:00:00,324 --> 00:00:00,325
What's interesting
about this story is that the
263
00:00:00,325 --> 00:00:00,326
Star of Bethlehem wasn't
used as a navigation point.
264
00:00:00,326 --> 00:00:00,328
It is clearly stated as it guided the
wise men to the place of Christ.
265
00:00:00,328 --> 00:00:00,329
A star cannot guide someone.
266
00:00:00,329 --> 00:00:00,329
It can only be used as
a navigation point.
267
00:00:00,329 --> 00:00:00,331
So this brings up the idea that
the star was possibly a UFO.
268
00:00:00,331 --> 00:00:00,332
Today we think that the
Magi were magicians
269
00:00:00,332 --> 00:00:00,334
and that is actually why we
have the word magic today.
270
00:00:00,334 --> 00:00:00,335
But when I hear about magical
powers, that raises a flag
271
00:00:00,335 --> 00:00:00,337
because magic as such does not exist.
272
00:00:00,337 --> 00:00:00,339
So were these Magi, in fact, in
possession of some type of an
273
00:00:00,339 --> 00:00:00,340
extraterrestrial technology?
274
00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:00,341
Because, according to the
ancient texts, it was the
275
00:00:00,341 --> 00:00:00,342
initiates of each culture who were
in touch with extraterrestrials.
276
00:00:00,342 --> 00:00:00,344
And it was the initiates who
later became priests or magi.
277
00:00:00,344 --> 00:00:00,346
Is it possible that Antiochus
was, in fact, a magi,
278
00:00:00,346 --> 00:00:00,347
one who learned celestial knowledge
from extraterrestrial sources?
279
00:00:00,348 --> 00:00:00,349
If so, might the monumental
sanctuary at Nemrud Dagi have
280
00:00:00,349 --> 00:00:00,351
been built as a place to
contact star travelers?
281
00:00:00,351 --> 00:00:00,353
The answer may have been found
among the ruins of Nemrud Dagi.
282
00:00:00,353 --> 00:00:00,354
The head of Antiochus is placed on the
283
00:00:00,354 --> 00:00:00,354
statue which is appropriate for
Mercury, and that's because
284
00:00:00,354 --> 00:00:00,356
Mercury is the planet of
initiation for priests.
285
00:00:00,356 --> 00:00:00,357
And he's one himself, so
he models it on himself.
286
00:00:00,357 --> 00:00:00,358
And people think this is him being
boastful-- sitting among the gods.
287
00:00:00,358 --> 00:00:00,358
It's not.
288
00:00:00,358 --> 00:00:00,359
It's actually a code to say
that he's one with the priests.
289
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:00,361
Eventually annexed
by the Romans in the first
290
00:00:00,361 --> 00:00:00,362
century AD, King Antiochus and
his court became scattered
291
00:00:00,362 --> 00:00:00,363
throughout the region.
292
00:00:00,363 --> 00:00:00,363
Or were they?
293
00:00:00,363 --> 00:00:00,364
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, they may have instead
294
00:00:00,364 --> 00:00:00,366
used a heavenly gate to depart
through--- to a distant realm.
295
00:00:00,366 --> 00:00:00,367
An audacious idea?
296
00:00:00,367 --> 00:00:00,367
Perhaps.
297
00:00:00,367 --> 00:00:00,369
And there are those who believe
further evidence can be found in
298
00:00:00,369 --> 00:00:00,370
one of the driest areas of the
world-- in South America.
299
00:00:00,372 --> 00:00:00,373
Peru, South America.
300
00:00:00,373 --> 00:00:00,374
250 miles south of the capital
of Lima lies one of the driest
301
00:00:00,374 --> 00:00:00,376
places on Earth-- a wasteland
that once was home to an ancient
302
00:00:00,376 --> 00:00:00,377
civilization called Nazca.
303
00:00:00,377 --> 00:00:00,378
Thriving between the 15th
century BC and 500 AD,
304
00:00:00,378 --> 00:00:00,380
the Nazca were a deeply religious
and spiritual people who built
305
00:00:00,380 --> 00:00:00,381
their ceremonial center in
the temple city of Cahuachi.
306
00:00:00,382 --> 00:00:00,384
Cahuachi is the largest adobe
ceremonial center in the world
307
00:00:00,384 --> 00:00:00,385
Therefore, we find groups
of temples and pyramids
308
00:00:00,385 --> 00:00:00,386
of immense size. Spirituality was the
most important thing in Cahuachi
309
00:00:00,387 --> 00:00:00,388
The people of Nazca used the sacred
spaces to elevate themselves
310
00:00:00,388 --> 00:00:00,389
in order to communicate
with the deities.
311
00:00:00,389 --> 00:00:00,390
The Nazca were predominantly
were farming people
312
00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:00,392
So Cahuachi was built at the prime
when they had all the food they needed
313
00:00:00,392 --> 00:00:00,393
and they had enough resources
to be able to develop
314
00:00:00,393 --> 00:00:00,394
a highly evolved religious system.
315
00:00:00,394 --> 00:00:00,395
But the Nazca people and their culture
316
00:00:00,395 --> 00:00:00,396
mysteriously vanished some
1,200 years ago, though not
317
00:00:00,396 --> 00:00:00,397
before etching a series of
enormous geoglyphs--
318
00:00:00,397 --> 00:00:00,398
or ground drawings-- into
the nearby desert floor.
319
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:00,400
The Nazca Lines were an important
320
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:00,402
element of their religious
worship and their ceremonies.
321
00:00:00,402 --> 00:00:00,403
They would walk through these
lines during their ceremonies,
322
00:00:00,403 --> 00:00:00,404
breaking ceramics and offering
323
00:00:00,404 --> 00:00:00,405
important elements to the
deities from their own culture.
324
00:00:00,406 --> 00:00:00,407
The great geoglyphs are
composed of dozens of
325
00:00:00,407 --> 00:00:00,410
spirals, triangles and trapezoids, as
well as miles of zigzagging lines.
326
00:00:00,410 --> 00:00:00,411
This whole flat area,
which covers several
327
00:00:00,411 --> 00:00:00,412
square miles, is covered in
stones made of iron oxide,
328
00:00:00,412 --> 00:00:00,413
either red or black, and that's
what gives it the darkish,
329
00:00:00,413 --> 00:00:00,414
brownish red appearance.
330
00:00:00,414 --> 00:00:00,414
But right underneath the surface
331
00:00:00,414 --> 00:00:00,416
is clay, which is white, and all
I have to do---
332
00:00:00,417 --> 00:00:00,418
is that.
333
00:00:00,418 --> 00:00:00,419
The contrast between the clay
334
00:00:00,419 --> 00:00:00,420
and the iron oxide gives a Nazca Line.
335
00:00:00,420 --> 00:00:00,422
Acre size drawings depict
a hummingbird, a spider,
336
00:00:00,422 --> 00:00:00,424
a killer whale and a human
figure with owl-like eyes.
337
00:00:00,424 --> 00:00:00,425
They would have had to have
had observation from the
338
00:00:00,425 --> 00:00:00,426
sky in order to guide the
workforce the ground
339
00:00:00,426 --> 00:00:00,428
as to how to draw complicated
figures such as the spider and
340
00:00:00,428 --> 00:00:00,428
the hummingbird.
341
00:00:00,428 --> 00:00:00,429
Preserved for centuries
by the lack of wind
342
00:00:00,429 --> 00:00:00,430
and rain, the lines are best
seen from the air, and were
343
00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:00,432
first spotted by
aviators in the 1930s.
344
00:00:00,432 --> 00:00:00,433
But why did the Nazca create
patterns that could only
345
00:00:00,433 --> 00:00:00,434
be properly seen from a great height?
346
00:00:00,434 --> 00:00:00,435
The obvious answer is because
you can see only from the sky.
347
00:00:00,435 --> 00:00:00,437
Many of our ancestors would
talk about the star people.
348
00:00:00,437 --> 00:00:00,439
All these sacred sites we consider
it is for whom? For the star people
349
00:00:00,439 --> 00:00:00,440
At Nazca and other areas in Peru
350
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:00,442
there are legends of sky people and
gods coming down from the sky.
351
00:00:00,443 --> 00:00:00,444
But might the so-called
star people referred
352
00:00:00,444 --> 00:00:00,445
to in the Nazca legends really
have been extraterrestrial
353
00:00:00,445 --> 00:00:00,446
beings, as ancient astronaut
theorists believe?
354
00:00:00,447 --> 00:00:00,447
In the beginning there
was just one line
355
00:00:00,447 --> 00:00:00,449
made by some robot or some
extraterrestrial spaceship
356
00:00:00,449 --> 00:00:00,450
or space shuttle because they were
looking for raw material for energy.
357
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:00,452
After a while the local population would
see all those tracks on the ground.
358
00:00:00,452 --> 00:00:00,454
And they would say, that these
tracks were just left behind
359
00:00:00,454 --> 00:00:00,455
by these divine beings, by the gods.
360
00:00:00,455 --> 00:00:00,457
And then they would wonder and "what
can we do for those gods to return?"
361
00:00:00,458 --> 00:00:00,459
According to ancient astronaut theory,
362
00:00:00,459 --> 00:00:00,460
the earliest of the Nazca Lines
were made in imitation of the
363
00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:00,461
trails left by the
first space visitors.
364
00:00:00,461 --> 00:00:00,462
Later generations added more
elaborate lines, and then
365
00:00:00,462 --> 00:00:00,463
shapes and figures, all in an
366
00:00:00,463 --> 00:00:00,464
attempt to signal the
star gods to return.
367
00:00:00,464 --> 00:00:00,465
But they never did.
368
00:00:00,465 --> 00:00:00,467
And this caused the population
to doubt the deities, because it
369
00:00:00,467 --> 00:00:00,468
was mainly a psychological
problem they had with their
370
00:00:00,468 --> 00:00:00,469
deities that brought about the
371
00:00:00,469 --> 00:00:00,470
abandonment and collapse
of the Nazca culture.
372
00:00:00,472 --> 00:00:00,472
But could there be other
evidence of alien contact
373
00:00:00,472 --> 00:00:00,474
with the ancient people of Peru
that is even more astounding
374
00:00:00,474 --> 00:00:00,474
than the Nazca Lines?
375
00:00:00,475 --> 00:00:00,475
Some of the skulls that we
find today, because it's
376
00:00:00,475 --> 00:00:00,476
a very dry desert and they're
well preserved, are some of the
377
00:00:00,476 --> 00:00:00,477
most astonishing, elongated
skulls that you'll ever see.
378
00:00:00,477 --> 00:00:00,478
And they look like extraterrestrials.
379
00:00:00,478 --> 00:00:00,479
According to Nazca
380
00:00:00,479 --> 00:00:00,480
legends, the gods had
elongated heads,
381
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:00,481
much like the distended
skulls of the controversial
382
00:00:00,481 --> 00:00:00,482
Egyptian pharaoh King Tutankhamen
and his sister Meretaten.
383
00:00:00,483 --> 00:00:00,483
I honestly believe
that the largest of the
384
00:00:00,483 --> 00:00:00,485
elongated skulls represent
hybrid human beings dating
385
00:00:00,485 --> 00:00:00,486
back thousands of years, who
lived here very peacefully
386
00:00:00,486 --> 00:00:00,487
and could very well be the
ancestors of the lnca.
387
00:00:00,487 --> 00:00:00,489
And that could be the reason why
the Inca suddenly were these
388
00:00:00,489 --> 00:00:00,490
people of incredible
sophistication who came from
389
00:00:00,490 --> 00:00:00,490
seemingly nowhere.
390
00:00:00,490 --> 00:00:00,492
It's possible that they're
descendants from star beings.
391
00:00:00,492 --> 00:00:00,493
Were they trying
to imitate people they had
392
00:00:00,493 --> 00:00:00,494
already seen, gods
from outer space?
393
00:00:00,495 --> 00:00:00,495
Is it possible the ancient
Nazca altered their
394
00:00:00,495 --> 00:00:00,497
bodies and their lands in order
to communicate with or emulate
395
00:00:00,497 --> 00:00:00,497
something their ancestors may
396
00:00:00,497 --> 00:00:00,499
have witnessed, something
out of this world?
397
00:00:00,499 --> 00:00:00,500
Perhaps further clues to
mankind's extraterrestrial
398
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:00,501
connection can be found in the
399
00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:00,502
most remote place on planet
in the South Pacific.
400
00:00:00,504 --> 00:00:00,504
The South Pacific Ocean.
401
00:00:00,505 --> 00:00:00,506
2,300 miles west of South
America, in one of the most
402
00:00:00,506 --> 00:00:00,507
remote places on Earth, giant
403
00:00:00,507 --> 00:00:00,508
stone figures stand with
their backs to the sea.
404
00:00:00,509 --> 00:00:00,510
Called moai by the native
inhabitants, they are the silent
405
00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:00,511
sentinels of Easter Island.
406
00:00:00,511 --> 00:00:00,512
The moais are scattered
throughout the island,
407
00:00:00,512 --> 00:00:00,513
and they're positioned on top of
platforms, for the most part.
408
00:00:00,513 --> 00:00:00,515
A moai is a stone sculpture
of a deceased ancestor
409
00:00:00,515 --> 00:00:00,515
They were once living individuals
410
00:00:00,515 --> 00:00:00,516
who ruled the society
or led the society.
411
00:00:00,516 --> 00:00:00,517
They were chiefs.
412
00:00:00,517 --> 00:00:00,517
And then, upon their death,
413
00:00:00,517 --> 00:00:00,518
we believe that they've
become represented in stone.
414
00:00:00,519 --> 00:00:00,520
Nearly 900 moai were carved between
the 12th and 18th centuries.
415
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:00,522
Hewn with stone tools from
volcanic rock, the tallest
416
00:00:00,522 --> 00:00:00,524
stands a towering 33 feet high
and weighs a staggering 75 tons.
417
00:00:00,524 --> 00:00:00,526
They were even more
unique-looking in the past.
418
00:00:00,526 --> 00:00:00,526
They may have been painted.
419
00:00:00,526 --> 00:00:00,527
And they also had large white
coral eyes with obsidian pupils.
420
00:00:00,527 --> 00:00:00,528
So it's a very effective way
of kind of telling people, not
421
00:00:00,528 --> 00:00:00,530
verbally but symbolically, that
someone's watching you and you
422
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:00,530
should toe the line.
423
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:00,530
You should do what
you're supposed to do.
424
00:00:00,531 --> 00:00:00,532
The people who created the moai called
425
00:00:00,532 --> 00:00:00,533
themselves the Rapa Nui,
and mainstream historians
426
00:00:00,533 --> 00:00:00,534
believe their Polynesian
ancestors came to the island in
427
00:00:00,534 --> 00:00:00,535
canoes from across the vast
428
00:00:00,535 --> 00:00:00,536
Pacific Ocean between 700 and 1100 AD.
429
00:00:00,536 --> 00:00:00,538
But over several centuries, for
reasons that are still unclear,
430
00:00:00,538 --> 00:00:00,539
what was once an island paradise
withered into a treeless desert,
431
00:00:00,539 --> 00:00:00,541
stalked by famine, violence
and some say cannibalism.
432
00:00:00,542 --> 00:00:00,543
When the first europeans arrived
in 1722, the Rapa Nui culture
433
00:00:00,543 --> 00:00:00,544
had already been nearly wiped out...
434
00:00:00,544 --> 00:00:00,545
and few could imagine how such
primitive people could have
435
00:00:00,545 --> 00:00:00,546
created the moai.
436
00:00:00,546 --> 00:00:00,547
How in the heck did they make these?
Where did they come from?
437
00:00:00,547 --> 00:00:00,548
And how did they move them?
438
00:00:00,548 --> 00:00:00,549
Nobody has the answer.
439
00:00:00,549 --> 00:00:00,550
Modern scientists have tried,
and so far have failed
440
00:00:00,550 --> 00:00:00,551
to duplicate the feats
of the ancient Rapa Nui.
441
00:00:00,552 --> 00:00:00,553
In 1987, anthropologist Charles
Love used rollers to move a
442
00:00:00,553 --> 00:00:00,555
nine-ton moai replica at Western
Wyoming Community College.
443
00:00:00,555 --> 00:00:00,555
Ready?
444
00:00:00,555 --> 00:00:00,555
On three.
445
00:00:00,555 --> 00:00:00,556
One, two, three.
446
00:00:00,556 --> 00:00:00,556
Come on, Rick.
447
00:00:00,556 --> 00:00:00,557
- Come on.
- Get it
448
00:00:00,557 --> 00:00:00,557
Good.
449
00:00:00,557 --> 00:00:00,558
Thank you.
450
00:00:00,558 --> 00:00:00,558
Whoa.
451
00:00:00,558 --> 00:00:00,559
Only able to budge it
about half an inch.
452
00:00:00,559 --> 00:00:00,560
Other researchers have
tried pulling moai with sleds.
453
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:00,562
But there is a unique problem
with the idea of moving moai
454
00:00:00,562 --> 00:00:00,562
with sleds or rollers.
455
00:00:00,562 --> 00:00:00,563
When you go to Easter
Island, you don't get the
456
00:00:00,563 --> 00:00:00,564
impression they had enough
wood to have rollers.
457
00:00:00,564 --> 00:00:00,566
And in fact, in the 1700s, the
first four expeditions to Easter
458
00:00:00,566 --> 00:00:00,566
Island never really saw a tree.
459
00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:00,567
And so that's the real
mystery of Easter Island
460
00:00:00,567 --> 00:00:00,569
how can you move a multi-ton statue
if you have no trees for rollers?
461
00:00:00,569 --> 00:00:00,571
According to the oral
history of the Rapa Nui,
462
00:00:00,571 --> 00:00:00,572
the moai were moved in
a very unusual way.
463
00:00:00,573 --> 00:00:00,574
They all reply basically
the same thing.
464
00:00:00,574 --> 00:00:00,575
The moai walked to the ahu, and that's
the only explanation that they give.
465
00:00:00,575 --> 00:00:00,577
But who or what had the
power to make multi-ton moai
466
00:00:00,577 --> 00:00:00,578
appear to walk to their
ahu, or stone platforms?
467
00:00:00,579 --> 00:00:00,580
In 1919, British archaeologist
Katherine Routledge, who lived
468
00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:00,581
on Easter Island for a year,
recorded the legends and
469
00:00:00,581 --> 00:00:00,583
testimony of an old woman who
said the moai were moved with
470
00:00:00,583 --> 00:00:00,584
a mystical energy called mana.
471
00:00:00,584 --> 00:00:00,585
And according to the oral
histories of the Rapa Nui,
472
00:00:00,585 --> 00:00:00,586
mana came from the gods.
473
00:00:00,586 --> 00:00:00,588
Mana was a direct gift of the gods
given to the Easter islanders
474
00:00:00,588 --> 00:00:00,590
Was this mana really a
type of magical force?
475
00:00:00,590 --> 00:00:00,590
Of course not.
476
00:00:00,590 --> 00:00:00,591
It was some type of
misunderstood technology,
477
00:00:00,591 --> 00:00:00,593
some type of a device, an
extraterrestrial tool with which
478
00:00:00,593 --> 00:00:00,594
you could move those massive
Easter Island heads rather easily.
479
00:00:00,595 --> 00:00:00,596
Did early inhabitants of Easter Island
480
00:00:00,596 --> 00:00:00,597
really know how to unlock the
secrets of gravity using mana?
481
00:00:00,597 --> 00:00:00,599
And if so, where might such power over
the physical world have come from?
482
00:00:00,599 --> 00:00:00,601
Researchers believe there are
clues hidden within mysterious
483
00:00:00,601 --> 00:00:00,602
written texts called rongorongo,
inscribed on pieces
484
00:00:00,602 --> 00:00:00,603
of wood, discovered on the
island in the 19th century.
485
00:00:00,604 --> 00:00:00,605
This is a rongorongo board.
And it's a replica of ones of old.
486
00:00:00,605 --> 00:00:00,606
About 25 of them are known.
487
00:00:00,606 --> 00:00:00,606
We have had about six or
eight different attempts at
488
00:00:00,606 --> 00:00:00,608
translating these things, with
six or eight different results.
489
00:00:00,608 --> 00:00:00,609
You have to ask yourself,
how could the Easter islanders
490
00:00:00,609 --> 00:00:00,611
have invented their own writing
without some other cultural
491
00:00:00,611 --> 00:00:00,612
influence coming there.
492
00:00:00,612 --> 00:00:00,613
Would it have been ancient
seafarers coming to Easter Island
493
00:00:00,613 --> 00:00:00,614
or perhaps even space visitors?
494
00:00:00,615 --> 00:00:00,616
Further evidence of early
contact with otherworldly beings
495
00:00:00,616 --> 00:00:00,617
can be found in numerous
strange stone carvings--
496
00:00:00,617 --> 00:00:00,618
called petroglyphs.
497
00:00:00,618 --> 00:00:00,619
What we see in the petroglyph
art of the island are
498
00:00:00,619 --> 00:00:00,620
these figures of bird men, these
tangata manus, carved in bas
499
00:00:00,620 --> 00:00:00,622
relief on the rocks on the
very edge of the precipice.
500
00:00:00,622 --> 00:00:00,623
In the myths of Easter
Island's Rapa Nui,
501
00:00:00,623 --> 00:00:00,625
the bird man represents Makemake,
the chief god and creator of humanity.
502
00:00:00,625 --> 00:00:00,625
Did at some point in the
past a creature come,
503
00:00:00,625 --> 00:00:00,626
which was Bird man who
flew in from somewhere?
504
00:00:00,626 --> 00:00:00,627
Did he arrive on this
island and did he indeed
505
00:00:00,627 --> 00:00:00,628
live very much like a pariah?
506
00:00:00,628 --> 00:00:00,629
Did he die or did he take off
again, and is this what the
507
00:00:00,629 --> 00:00:00,630
locals keep this legend of this
creature who came to them alive
508
00:00:00,630 --> 00:00:00,631
through myth, legend and ritual.
509
00:00:00,632 --> 00:00:00,633
Walking stone giants,
510
00:00:00,633 --> 00:00:00,634
petroglyphs of flying beings---
511
00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:00,635
might the ancient inhabitants
of Easter Island have been
512
00:00:00,635 --> 00:00:00,636
familiar with antigravity
levitation and spaceflight?
513
00:00:00,636 --> 00:00:00,638
If so, might these astounding
abilities-- forever lost to
514
00:00:00,638 --> 00:00:00,640
time, have been made possible
by extraterrestrial visitors?
515
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:00,641
Perhaps more evidence can be
found in the most famous and
516
00:00:00,641 --> 00:00:00,642
alluring of all lost worlds--
the Garden of Eden.
517
00:00:00,643 --> 00:00:00,644
The Middle East
518
00:00:00,644 --> 00:00:00,645
For centuries, archaeologists,
519
00:00:00,645 --> 00:00:00,646
theologians and scholars have
debated the location-- and even
520
00:00:00,646 --> 00:00:00,648
the existence of the ultimate
of all lost worlds--
521
00:00:00,648 --> 00:00:00,649
the biblical "Garden of Eden."
522
00:00:00,649 --> 00:00:00,651
It was here, according to the
Hebrew Book of Genesis, that
523
00:00:00,651 --> 00:00:00,651
a paradise once existed--
524
00:00:00,651 --> 00:00:00,653
a paradise where the first human
beings, Adam and Eve, were
525
00:00:00,653 --> 00:00:00,653
actually created by God.
526
00:00:00,654 --> 00:00:00,655
But could such a paradise, now
shrouded in myth and legend,
527
00:00:00,655 --> 00:00:00,656
have actually been a real place?
528
00:00:00,656 --> 00:00:00,657
When we're looking
at the Garden of Eden
529
00:00:00,657 --> 00:00:00,659
we know there is actually a physical
description as to where it was.
530
00:00:00,659 --> 00:00:00,660
It is set at four very specific rivers,
came from it, over near it
531
00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:00,661
So we can actually go
in search of this.
532
00:00:00,661 --> 00:00:00,662
Two of these rivers, the Tigris
and the Euphrates rivers,
533
00:00:00,662 --> 00:00:00,663
are well known and actually
run through what is Irak today.
534
00:00:00,663 --> 00:00:00,665
The other two rivers that are
described are not very clear.
535
00:00:00,665 --> 00:00:00,666
Researchers now believe
the third river, known
536
00:00:00,666 --> 00:00:00,667
as the Karun River, runs through
Iran and joins the Euphrates
537
00:00:00,667 --> 00:00:00,668
just north of the Persian Gulf.
538
00:00:00,668 --> 00:00:00,670
Then, in 2010, satellite imagery
revealed a fossil river, or dry
539
00:00:00,670 --> 00:00:00,672
riverbed, called the Wadi Baton,
that once flowed through
540
00:00:00,672 --> 00:00:00,673
northern Arabia and also
joined with the Euphrates.
541
00:00:00,673 --> 00:00:00,675
Could these two rivers have
been the location of the Pishon
542
00:00:00,675 --> 00:00:00,675
and Gihon rivers-- the lost
rivers mentioned in the Bible--
543
00:00:00,675 --> 00:00:00,677
that point to the actual
location of the Garden of Eden?
544
00:00:00,677 --> 00:00:00,678
When you read the
account in the Genesis
545
00:00:00,678 --> 00:00:00,679
it says that the four
rivers form one river
546
00:00:00,679 --> 00:00:00,680
So very careful reading
indicates that the two rivers
547
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:00,681
which are today in Irak, Tigris and
Euphrates, and the one which
548
00:00:00,681 --> 00:00:00,682
is in Iran, the Karun and a false river,
in Arabia, and then when you join them up
549
00:00:00,682 --> 00:00:00,683
to form one river that is the approximate
location of northern Persian Gulf.
550
00:00:00,683 --> 00:00:00,684
And according to the Bible,
that one river flowed
551
00:00:00,684 --> 00:00:00,685
through the Garden of Eden.
552
00:00:00,685 --> 00:00:00,686
And so, based upon Landsat
images and a close
553
00:00:00,686 --> 00:00:00,687
reading of the Hebrew text,
I think that the location of the
554
00:00:00,687 --> 00:00:00,687
Garden of Eden is under the
555
00:00:00,687 --> 00:00:00,688
waters of the Persian Gulf
and not on land.
556
00:00:00,689 --> 00:00:00,690
Scientists believe that
during the last ice age,
557
00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:00,691
the polar ice caps were two miles
high and ocean levels were
558
00:00:00,691 --> 00:00:00,692
170 feet lower than they are today.
559
00:00:00,692 --> 00:00:00,694
Recent studies suggest the area
of the Persian Gulf would have
560
00:00:00,694 --> 00:00:00,695
been a dry, fertile plain the
size of Great Britain, providing
561
00:00:00,695 --> 00:00:00,696
an ideal refuge to some of the
earliest humans outside Africa
562
00:00:00,696 --> 00:00:00,697
nearly 75,000 years ago.
563
00:00:00,697 --> 00:00:00,699
But as the ice caps melted over
the course of thousands of
564
00:00:00,699 --> 00:00:00,700
years, the waters of what is now
the Indian Ocean flooded the
565
00:00:00,700 --> 00:00:00,701
land and formed the Persian Gulf.
566
00:00:00,701 --> 00:00:00,702
During that long period,
there were at least
567
00:00:00,702 --> 00:00:00,703
three episodes of very
very major flooding.
568
00:00:00,703 --> 00:00:00,704
When you would be looking at
30 or 40 ft rises in sea level
569
00:00:00,704 --> 00:00:00,705
virtually over night.
570
00:00:00,705 --> 00:00:00,706
Might a great flood-- perhaps the one
571
00:00:00,706 --> 00:00:00,707
described in the biblical story
of Noah's Ark, really be
572
00:00:00,707 --> 00:00:00,709
responsible for the disappearance
of the so-called "Garden of Eden"?
573
00:00:00,709 --> 00:00:00,710
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe it is not only possible,
574
00:00:00,710 --> 00:00:00,711
but that the proof can be found by
studying ancient Sumerian texts.
575
00:00:00,712 --> 00:00:00,714
The earliest known civilization
of Sumer dates to 5,000 BC,
576
00:00:00,714 --> 00:00:00,715
and their first settlement in southern
Mesopotamia was called Eridu.
577
00:00:00,716 --> 00:00:00,716
The ancient Sumerians
have a wonderful story.
578
00:00:00,717 --> 00:00:00,717
They believe that they had lived
in an area that was probably to
579
00:00:00,717 --> 00:00:00,718
the south of what is today Sumer.
580
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:00,719
And the reason we know that is because
they said they came out of the sea.
581
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:00,721
Ancient cuneiform writings
that have survived on
582
00:00:00,721 --> 00:00:00,722
clay tablets suggest the
Sumerians had been brought to
583
00:00:00,722 --> 00:00:00,723
Eridu by their god Enki.
584
00:00:00,723 --> 00:00:00,724
The cuneiform texts also
describe an alien race named
585
00:00:00,724 --> 00:00:00,726
the Anunnaki who came to Earth and
created the first modern human beings.
586
00:00:00,727 --> 00:00:00,728
Adam in sumerian
or a very early form of
587
00:00:00,728 --> 00:00:00,729
Sumerian, means "a small
rural settlement."
588
00:00:00,730 --> 00:00:00,731
"Eve," however, isn't Sumerian.
"Eve" in Arabic and the Semitic
589
00:00:00,731 --> 00:00:00,732
languages means
"one who gives birth."
590
00:00:00,732 --> 00:00:00,733
The word "Eden" is a pre-Sumerian
word and it means "plain."
591
00:00:00,733 --> 00:00:00,734
But, according to ancient
astronaut theory, the
592
00:00:00,734 --> 00:00:00,735
Sumerian accounts may actually
refer to a more ancient time,
593
00:00:00,735 --> 00:00:00,737
and to a distant fertile plain now lost
under the waters of the Persian Gulf.
594
00:00:00,738 --> 00:00:00,738
Now the question is this,
was the Garden of Eden
595
00:00:00,738 --> 00:00:00,739
really some kind of laboratory
where certain things were
596
00:00:00,739 --> 00:00:00,740
created by the ancient
scientists of their day?
597
00:00:00,741 --> 00:00:00,742
Well, if mankind was created in
a Garden of Eden, then clearly
598
00:00:00,742 --> 00:00:00,743
whoever was creating this
wasn't a human being,
599
00:00:00,743 --> 00:00:00,743
it was somebody else.
600
00:00:00,744 --> 00:00:00,745
So is it possible that
the Garden of Eden
601
00:00:00,745 --> 00:00:00,745
was located here on planet Earth?
602
00:00:00,745 --> 00:00:00,747
Yes, but was it a specific
geographic location?
603
00:00:00,747 --> 00:00:00,747
I'm not sure.
604
00:00:00,748 --> 00:00:00,749
Personally, I'm leaning more
towards the idea that the Garden
605
00:00:00,749 --> 00:00:00,750
of Eden was some type of a
closed environment somewhere
606
00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:00,751
in nature, but it definitely was
607
00:00:00,751 --> 00:00:00,753
some type of a laboratory from
where modern man originated.
608
00:00:00,754 --> 00:00:00,755
Is it really possible
that the first humans
609
00:00:00,755 --> 00:00:00,756
were created by extraterrestrial
beings in what is referred to
610
00:00:00,756 --> 00:00:00,757
in the Bible as a "Garden of Eden"?
611
00:00:00,757 --> 00:00:00,759
If so, has the evidence existed
all along, on the cuneiform
612
00:00:00,759 --> 00:00:00,760
tablets of the ancient Sumerians?
613
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:00,761
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the answer is a
614
00:00:00,761 --> 00:00:00,762
definite yes.
615
00:00:00,762 --> 00:00:00,763
And there are those who believe
that such an incredible notion
616
00:00:00,763 --> 00:00:00,764
is not only possible, but that
the proof lies in the further
617
00:00:00,764 --> 00:00:00,766
investigation of lost civilizations
and ancient worlds--
618
00:00:00,766 --> 00:00:00,767
an investigation that will not
only uncover our past,
619
00:00:00,767 --> 00:00:00,768
but reveal our future.
