These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:01,825 --> 00:00:03,225 Ancient carvings, 2 00:00:04,126 --> 00:00:07,026 depicting dinosaurs with humans. 3 00:00:08,027 --> 00:00:12,628 Sometimes the humans are even writing on the back of the dinosaurs. 4 00:00:12,829 --> 00:00:16,629 The fossilized tracks of the dinosaurs and men 5 00:00:16,934 --> 00:00:19,102 discovered side by side... 6 00:00:19,137 --> 00:00:23,106 We've found human footprints, dinosaurs and all types of 7 00:00:23,141 --> 00:00:27,710 fossils that scientists tell us that should not be in the same level, 8 00:00:27,779 --> 00:00:29,345 we find them coexisting. 9 00:00:29,381 --> 00:00:35,885 And high levels of radiation found in the bones of a tyrannosaurus rex. 10 00:00:36,021 --> 00:00:38,454 The reason they had to paint them with lead 11 00:00:38,490 --> 00:00:42,193 paint is because they discovered were very, very intensely radioactive. 12 00:00:43,461 --> 00:00:47,832 Did the dinosaurs fall victim to a cosmic collision? 13 00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:53,236 Or were they deliberately killed off? 14 00:00:53,304 --> 00:00:55,838 Is it possible that what we have here 15 00:00:55,874 --> 00:01:01,711 was in fact not an extinction, but an extermination event? 16 00:01:01,746 --> 00:01:05,048 Millions of people around the world believe we have 17 00:01:05,083 --> 00:01:09,352 been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 18 00:01:09,387 --> 00:01:11,921 What if it were true? 19 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:16,859 Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 20 00:01:16,895 --> 00:01:23,866 And if so, will science reveal the connection between aliens 21 00:01:23,902 --> 00:01:26,002 and dinosaurs? 22 00:01:40,235 --> 00:01:44,235 sync and corrections by bellows www.addic7ed.com 23 00:01:59,236 --> 00:02:02,836 Oxfordshire, England, 1819. 24 00:02:05,609 --> 00:02:09,545 In a quarry just outside the village of Stonesfield, 25 00:02:09,581 --> 00:02:13,783 paleontologist William Buckland discovers several fossilized 26 00:02:13,818 --> 00:02:19,455 bones of an enormous unknown animal, including portions of a 27 00:02:19,491 --> 00:02:22,892 lower jaw with teeth still in place. 28 00:02:25,195 --> 00:02:28,398 Though similar bones had been found in the past, 29 00:02:28,433 --> 00:02:32,602 Dr. Buckland was the first European to officially record 30 00:02:32,637 --> 00:02:34,971 the discovery of a "dinosaur," 31 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,576 or as he called it, a megalosaurus. 32 00:02:40,612 --> 00:02:44,814 Since then, dinosaurs have been discovered on every continent 33 00:02:44,883 --> 00:02:47,951 in the world. 34 00:02:47,953 --> 00:02:52,755 There are all kinds of dinosaurs that have been found. 35 00:02:52,791 --> 00:02:55,425 You have plated dinosaurs like the stegosaurus, 36 00:02:55,460 --> 00:02:58,795 you have horn dinosaurs, you have meat-eating dinosaurs, you 37 00:02:58,830 --> 00:03:01,431 have all sorts of dinosaurs. 38 00:03:01,466 --> 00:03:04,502 They live in very different environments, deserts, 39 00:03:04,571 --> 00:03:07,770 subtropical forests, by the seashore. 40 00:03:07,806 --> 00:03:11,841 There are over a thousand species of dinosaur 41 00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:17,013 that we know, and no doubt thousands more that we don't know. 44 00:03:28,827 --> 00:03:31,627 But the elephant would be a midget in comparison to one 45 00:03:31,663 --> 00:03:33,496 of these titanosaurs. 46 00:03:33,531 --> 00:03:36,466 You're talking an animal that weighed maybe 25 times the 47 00:03:36,501 --> 00:03:39,869 weight of an adult male elephant. 48 00:03:39,938 --> 00:03:45,308 These animals reached lengths of about a 120 feet and weights 49 00:03:45,343 --> 00:03:47,010 of a hundred tons. 50 00:03:47,146 --> 00:03:51,114 The plant-eaters would have been dangerous simply because of their size. 51 00:03:51,149 --> 00:03:55,051 Walking in between a herd of titanosaurs that weighed at a 52 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,888 hundred tons, you know, would have been deadly, probably, 53 00:03:58,957 --> 00:04:03,393 let alone being face-to-face with a T rex. 54 00:04:07,631 --> 00:04:11,401 The dinosaur really speaks to us. 55 00:04:11,469 --> 00:04:14,837 Every child has his fascination with dinosaurs, and we know that 56 00:04:14,873 --> 00:04:16,239 they were able to fly. 57 00:04:16,307 --> 00:04:18,742 We know that they are able to frighten you. 58 00:04:18,777 --> 00:04:21,578 They are, to some extent, supernatural creatures. 59 00:04:22,647 --> 00:04:25,081 One of the things with planet Earth was 60 00:04:25,150 --> 00:04:28,251 that in ancient times, everything was bigger and all 61 00:04:28,319 --> 00:04:32,155 the animals were bigger and plants were bigger. 62 00:04:32,190 --> 00:04:34,023 Everything was gigantic. 63 00:04:34,059 --> 00:04:38,027 The world of the dinosaurs was completely different from our world. 64 00:04:38,063 --> 00:04:41,864 During the age of the dinosaurs, many other animals lived. 65 00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:46,536 You have giant reptiles swimming in the ocean, flying reptiles 66 00:04:46,571 --> 00:04:49,238 flying over the heads of dinosaurs. 67 00:04:49,307 --> 00:04:53,042 You also have insects, mammals, amphibians and other creatures. 68 00:04:53,078 --> 00:04:56,346 But dinosaurs were the king of the land. 69 00:04:57,382 --> 00:05:00,416 We imagine in science fiction what it would be 70 00:05:00,485 --> 00:05:07,256 like to travel to an exotic, exciting, strange alien world 71 00:05:07,325 --> 00:05:11,894 where these giant creatures roaming around the planet, 72 00:05:11,930 --> 00:05:15,565 and it happened here on Earth in our pre-history. 73 00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:22,705 While scientists have been studying dinosaur 74 00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:27,176 fossils for nearly 200 years, their theories about what these 75 00:05:27,212 --> 00:05:31,347 giant creatures were and how they lived often change with 76 00:05:31,382 --> 00:05:33,484 each new discovery. 77 00:05:35,353 --> 00:05:39,188 Recently, paleontologists have determined that tyrannosaurus 78 00:05:39,224 --> 00:05:45,194 rex was most likely covered not with scales, but with feathers. 79 00:05:47,464 --> 00:05:50,433 We found feathers of dinosaurs that are actually 80 00:05:50,468 --> 00:05:54,070 preserved in amber, and so dinosaurs, we now believe that 81 00:05:54,105 --> 00:05:57,807 many, if not most of them, had a feathery covering of some kind. 82 00:05:57,942 --> 00:06:00,410 We know they had very complex behaviors. 83 00:06:01,379 --> 00:06:04,514 They ate eggs that we find show that many dinosaurs made nests 84 00:06:04,549 --> 00:06:07,884 on the ground that they protected from predators, 85 00:06:07,919 --> 00:06:10,454 and they brought food to the developing young. 86 00:06:11,689 --> 00:06:15,391 In the past, we envisioned dinosaurs as 87 00:06:15,426 --> 00:06:20,563 lethargic, gigantic reptiles that were slow and sluggish. 88 00:06:20,598 --> 00:06:23,099 That notion has changed completely. 89 00:06:23,668 --> 00:06:27,537 We interpret them now as being much more active. 90 00:06:27,572 --> 00:06:32,508 Many of them were feathered and presumably they were warm-blooded. 91 00:06:32,677 --> 00:06:34,443 We know that they grew very fast. 92 00:06:34,547 --> 00:06:39,749 Essentially dinosaurs were very atypical reptile, if you want. 93 00:06:39,784 --> 00:06:43,786 We still have a lot to learn about the dinosaurs. 94 00:06:43,855 --> 00:06:46,355 It used to be easy to define a dinosaur. 95 00:06:46,391 --> 00:06:50,293 But defining a dinosaur has become more complex. 96 00:06:53,363 --> 00:06:55,364 But while paleontologists continue to 97 00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:01,071 discover information on the lives of dinosaurs, ancient 98 00:07:01,106 --> 00:07:04,407 astronaut theorists believe there may be an otherworldly 99 00:07:04,442 --> 00:07:06,741 connection to their demise. 100 00:07:06,777 --> 00:07:08,442 When looking at dinosaurs, 101 00:07:08,479 --> 00:07:10,878 there's some key questions that really need to be answered. 102 00:07:10,949 --> 00:07:12,916 We don't know their level of intelligence, we don't 103 00:07:12,984 --> 00:07:14,818 really know what happened to them. 104 00:07:14,986 --> 00:07:17,355 More importantly, where do they come from? 105 00:07:18,557 --> 00:07:22,725 Scientists truly believe that dinosaurs ruled this planet for 106 00:07:22,761 --> 00:07:25,929 165 million years. 107 00:07:25,997 --> 00:07:29,666 In comparison, modern homo sapiens-- humans-- have only 108 00:07:29,701 --> 00:07:32,936 been around for about 200,000 years. 109 00:07:33,004 --> 00:07:40,008 So dinosaurs are by far the dominant species in the history of this Earth. 110 00:07:41,379 --> 00:07:45,114 But in the early 1800's, if you told someone the Earth used to 111 00:07:45,149 --> 00:07:48,651 be teaming with giant beasts, some of which weighed over a 112 00:07:48,686 --> 00:07:52,688 hundred tons, that person would say to you, "You're crazy." 113 00:07:52,757 --> 00:07:57,761 And yet, today, the dinosaurs are scientific fact. 114 00:07:58,997 --> 00:08:03,266 Dinosaurs could very well have been an early experiment by 115 00:08:03,301 --> 00:08:06,636 extraterrestrials with life on Earth. 116 00:08:06,871 --> 00:08:11,274 This planet has been capable of supporting life for millions if 117 00:08:11,309 --> 00:08:13,077 not billions of years. 118 00:08:14,512 --> 00:08:18,180 The accepted belief within the scientific community 119 00:08:18,216 --> 00:08:22,618 is that dinosaurs dominated the planet until a catastrophic 120 00:08:22,654 --> 00:08:26,455 event wiped them out 65 million years ago. 121 00:08:34,464 --> 00:08:39,402 There was a mass extinction that essentially exterminated maybe 50% 122 00:08:39,470 --> 00:08:41,037 of what was alive. 123 00:08:41,072 --> 00:08:45,174 Among the 50% are the last dinosaurs that lived during 124 00:08:45,209 --> 00:08:46,876 the age of the dinosaurs. 125 00:08:46,911 --> 00:08:49,414 Things like triceratops, T rex. 126 00:08:51,549 --> 00:08:54,717 We are speculating, and we have seen science trying 127 00:08:54,752 --> 00:08:58,721 to come up with answers, and so how the dinosaur disappeared is 128 00:08:58,756 --> 00:09:01,824 something which is still an open question to which science has 129 00:09:01,859 --> 00:09:03,426 no answer so far. 130 00:09:03,494 --> 00:09:06,028 It is possible that extraterrestrials may have 131 00:09:06,064 --> 00:09:09,031 wanted to trade out the dinosaurs for a more 132 00:09:09,067 --> 00:09:12,266 intelligent species in their likeness... 133 00:09:13,439 --> 00:09:17,206 and Earth was the perfect place to do it. 134 00:09:21,078 --> 00:09:24,714 Were the dinosaurs killed off by a cosmic natural 135 00:09:24,749 --> 00:09:27,986 event as mainstream scientists believe? 136 00:09:30,355 --> 00:09:35,725 Or might the dinosaurs have been the target of extermination? 137 00:09:36,927 --> 00:09:41,230 Perhaps the answer may be found by examining numerous ancient 138 00:09:41,265 --> 00:09:45,868 carvings and other artworks -- in which dinosaurs and man 139 00:09:45,903 --> 00:09:49,305 are shown to have coexisted. 140 00:09:54,985 --> 00:09:59,623 Planet Earth... 65 million years ago. 141 00:10:00,992 --> 00:10:04,694 An eight-mile-wide asteroid hurtles towards the planet at 142 00:10:04,729 --> 00:10:08,564 approximately 12 miles per second and strikes the region 143 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:16,772 now known as the Yucatan Peninsula... with a force of 144 00:10:16,841 --> 00:10:19,709 100 million megatons of TNT. 145 00:10:20,744 --> 00:10:25,548 According to mainstream science, this catastrophic event forever 146 00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:29,352 changed the climate and the topography of Earth and ended 147 00:10:29,387 --> 00:10:32,221 the reign of the dinosaurs. 148 00:10:38,095 --> 00:10:42,398 The object that came in was eight or ten miles in diameter. 149 00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:47,470 That impact dug a deep hole, lofted material into the 150 00:10:47,538 --> 00:10:52,475 atmosphere, black dust, which shrouded the planet in darkness 151 00:10:52,543 --> 00:10:56,045 for months, maybe for a couple of years. 152 00:10:58,548 --> 00:11:00,950 There would have been a time in which the 153 00:11:00,985 --> 00:11:04,053 sunlight was simply shut out from the Earth's surface, and 154 00:11:04,122 --> 00:11:08,791 photosynthetic organisms, like plants, would begin to die. 155 00:11:08,826 --> 00:11:11,060 The plant-eating dinosaurs would have 156 00:11:11,129 --> 00:11:12,963 nothing to eat and would have died off. 157 00:11:13,898 --> 00:11:16,832 The meat-eating dinosaurs would then have nothing to eat either, 158 00:11:16,868 --> 00:11:21,137 and this might've lasted anywhere from five to ten years. 159 00:11:21,172 --> 00:11:25,207 How quickly the extinction took place is a matter of debate. 160 00:11:28,378 --> 00:11:31,514 But is it possible that some species of dinosaur 161 00:11:31,549 --> 00:11:35,317 actually survived this cataclysmic event? 162 00:11:35,353 --> 00:11:40,089 And not only survived but thrived for several thousands, 163 00:11:40,158 --> 00:11:42,091 or even millions, of years? 164 00:11:45,729 --> 00:11:49,365 Perhaps clues can be recovered near a crater where scientists 165 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,536 believe the giant asteroid struck the Earth, right in the 166 00:11:53,571 --> 00:11:57,508 heart of what is now the Yucatan Peninsula. 167 00:11:59,043 --> 00:12:02,912 Today, less than 90 miles from the epicenter of the 168 00:12:02,980 --> 00:12:07,183 asteroid impact, lies one of the largest and best-preserved 169 00:12:07,218 --> 00:12:09,385 cities of the ancient Maya, 170 00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:12,456 Chichen Itza. 171 00:12:13,558 --> 00:12:16,492 You have to wonder if it's not some strange 172 00:12:16,527 --> 00:12:22,498 coincidence that the same spot, the Yucatan, which experienced 173 00:12:22,533 --> 00:12:26,569 this devastating asteroid strike, which caused extinction 174 00:12:26,604 --> 00:12:32,409 of the dinosaurs, is also the main habitation area of the ancient Maya. 175 00:12:33,945 --> 00:12:37,513 Chichen Itza is said to have been the place where 176 00:12:37,548 --> 00:12:40,617 the Mayans made contact with the gods. 177 00:12:42,053 --> 00:12:45,921 And I find it an extraordinary coincidence of all the potential 178 00:12:45,957 --> 00:12:48,724 places around the Gulf of Mexico, which they could've 179 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,895 chosen, they took a place where literally something fell from 180 00:12:52,930 --> 00:12:54,897 the sky 65 million years ago. 181 00:12:56,767 --> 00:12:59,902 And the Mayans believed that this contact with the gods, this 182 00:12:59,937 --> 00:13:05,141 contact with the sky, happened there, up until the most recent of times. 183 00:13:05,276 --> 00:13:08,644 And so, what we have here is either a coincidence or 184 00:13:08,713 --> 00:13:10,146 something else going on. 185 00:13:10,214 --> 00:13:13,149 And, really, this something else is only something, which 186 00:13:13,217 --> 00:13:16,051 hardly anybody has touched upon, but I think it is 187 00:13:16,087 --> 00:13:18,754 something which really needs to be explored in far more detail. 188 00:13:19,090 --> 00:13:21,624 In the Mayan area and other areas of Mexico, 189 00:13:21,659 --> 00:13:25,427 there are curious depictions of dinosaurs. 190 00:13:25,496 --> 00:13:27,229 There's pterosaurs. 191 00:13:27,265 --> 00:13:29,899 There's a famous dinosaur that appears on one of the paintings 192 00:13:29,934 --> 00:13:31,901 at Bonampak. 193 00:13:35,739 --> 00:13:41,143 So you have to wonder just how the Mayans knew about dinosaurs. 194 00:13:41,212 --> 00:13:44,813 Supposedly, dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years. 195 00:13:46,917 --> 00:13:49,987 But if, as mainstream scientists believe, 196 00:13:50,022 --> 00:13:53,858 the dinosaurs had been extinct for millions of years 197 00:13:53,893 --> 00:13:56,894 before the evolution of mankind on this planet, 198 00:13:56,895 --> 00:14:00,295 then what would explain the wealth of Mayan art 199 00:14:00,331 --> 00:14:03,966 depicting interactions between humans and what appear to be 200 00:14:04,001 --> 00:14:10,172 dinosaurs-- found in the very area where they supposedly died off? 201 00:14:12,509 --> 00:14:16,412 Ancient astronaut theorists believe that additional evidence 202 00:14:16,447 --> 00:14:20,182 can be found in northern Cambodia, at one of the largest 203 00:14:20,251 --> 00:14:25,588 temple complexes in the world, Angkor Wat. 204 00:14:25,623 --> 00:14:30,292 Here, among the intricate stone carvings that adorn the walls of 205 00:14:30,328 --> 00:14:34,196 the sacred site, researchers have been fascinated by numerous 206 00:14:34,265 --> 00:14:38,801 images of animals that supposedly roamed the region 207 00:14:38,836 --> 00:14:41,804 where the temple was built. 208 00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:45,841 But one, depicting what appears to be a dinosaur, has 209 00:14:45,877 --> 00:14:49,912 archaeologists and scholars scratching their heads. 210 00:14:50,047 --> 00:14:52,882 There's a temple called Ta Prohm, and it 211 00:14:52,950 --> 00:14:56,352 has a series of medallions that are carved into its surface and 212 00:14:56,387 --> 00:15:00,222 one medallion in particular has attracted attention because it 213 00:15:00,291 --> 00:15:02,024 looks like a stegosaurus. 214 00:15:02,059 --> 00:15:06,228 And so some have cited this as an example of a dinosaur that 215 00:15:06,297 --> 00:15:09,298 lived into historical times. 216 00:15:09,835 --> 00:15:13,335 It's a stegosaurus not as a skeleton, 217 00:15:13,371 --> 00:15:17,239 but it's a stegosaurus with its skin and muscles, as if somebody 218 00:15:17,308 --> 00:15:21,510 saw it while it was alive. 219 00:15:22,478 --> 00:15:26,482 So how is it possible that the artist was able to carve 220 00:15:26,517 --> 00:15:28,251 something like this? 221 00:15:28,586 --> 00:15:32,355 Did they receive the knowledge of something like this? 222 00:15:33,324 --> 00:15:35,691 There is no doubt that ancient civilizations 223 00:15:35,726 --> 00:15:38,827 must have encountered dinosaur remains. 224 00:15:38,863 --> 00:15:42,364 Many of them lived in areas where dinosaurs are very 225 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,501 abundant and I'm sure they found them here and there. 226 00:15:45,536 --> 00:15:49,405 I think that the fact that they have incorporated what appears 227 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,576 to be dinosaurs in their artistic depictions speaks of an 228 00:15:53,611 --> 00:15:57,546 attempt to interpret them. 229 00:15:57,582 --> 00:16:02,918 How exactly they interpret them, I don't believe is clear. 230 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,889 Even 200 years ago, we had a hard time figuring out how 231 00:16:06,924 --> 00:16:10,992 the bones of dinosaurs fit together. 232 00:16:14,397 --> 00:16:17,066 What could explain the ancient builders of 233 00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:22,137 Angkor Wat having such a sophisticated knowledge of dinosaur anatomy? 234 00:16:22,206 --> 00:16:25,774 Could it be, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe, 235 00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:32,146 that their knowledge came firsthand, as the result of actual interaction? 236 00:16:36,219 --> 00:16:39,989 The Tsodilo Hills, Northern Botswana, Africa. 237 00:16:44,094 --> 00:16:49,598 Here, in 2001, archaeologists discover what many believe to be 238 00:16:49,634 --> 00:16:52,936 the world's oldest-known religious artifact, 239 00:16:54,105 --> 00:16:59,775 a 20-foot-long serpentine rock carving, made over 70,000 years ago, by 240 00:16:59,810 --> 00:17:03,779 the ancient San People. 241 00:17:03,781 --> 00:17:10,486 Serpent worship is one of the oldest known form of religious worship. 242 00:17:10,521 --> 00:17:15,621 And it's absolutely everywhere that you look. 243 00:17:19,195 --> 00:17:23,198 But might the enormous scale of the serpent's head, measuring 244 00:17:23,267 --> 00:17:26,669 six-and-a-half feet tall, suggest that the carving 245 00:17:26,704 --> 00:17:30,806 represented not a python... but a dinosaur? 246 00:17:33,043 --> 00:17:35,811 There's a lot of ancient artwork that clearly 247 00:17:35,846 --> 00:17:39,815 shows a actual reptilian species being worshiped by humans. 248 00:17:39,850 --> 00:17:42,985 Some sort of reptilian presence that was here on the Earth in 249 00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:43,986 the ancient past. 250 00:17:44,488 --> 00:17:47,690 The question is, is it possible that our 251 00:17:47,725 --> 00:17:52,227 ancestors saw something that they tried to imitate and the 252 00:17:52,296 --> 00:17:56,166 answer is a resounding yes. 253 00:17:57,201 --> 00:18:00,402 Whenever it comes to evidence of the possibility 254 00:18:00,471 --> 00:18:04,006 that dinosaurs and mankind existed, each time science has 255 00:18:04,041 --> 00:18:06,509 tried to explain it away. 256 00:18:07,344 --> 00:18:11,046 But we know the archeological evidence really suggests that it 257 00:18:11,082 --> 00:18:13,415 is not that straightforward. 258 00:18:13,484 --> 00:18:18,320 It is definitely possible that our earliest ancestors met dinosaurs. 259 00:18:21,091 --> 00:18:24,326 Might ancient depictions of dinosaurs really 260 00:18:24,361 --> 00:18:30,333 be proof that humans and dinosaurs did, at one time, coexist? 261 00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:34,703 According to mainstream scientists, the notion is not 262 00:18:34,739 --> 00:18:38,474 only incredible, but downright impossible. 263 00:18:38,709 --> 00:18:42,244 Unless, of course, they are confronted with evidence 264 00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:47,449 in the form of a fossilized footprint of a dinosaur, side by 265 00:18:47,518 --> 00:18:51,886 side with that of a human being. 266 00:18:59,679 --> 00:19:01,612 Dinosaur Valley State Park. 267 00:19:02,981 --> 00:19:05,014 Glen Rose, Texas. 268 00:19:06,853 --> 00:19:13,027 Here, in 1930, Roland T.Bird, field explorer for the American Museum, 269 00:19:13,028 --> 00:19:18,496 reported finding "clearly defined" human footprints alongside dinosaur 270 00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:23,001 tracks in the same exposed layer of riverbed limestone. 271 00:19:23,271 --> 00:19:27,872 Some researchers found human footprints alongside the 272 00:19:27,941 --> 00:19:30,208 footprints of dinosaurs. 273 00:19:30,277 --> 00:19:33,945 There is other evidence, from other parts of the world, that 274 00:19:33,980 --> 00:19:37,482 shows that human beings like us were present during the time of 275 00:19:37,517 --> 00:19:39,517 the dinosaurs. 276 00:19:39,553 --> 00:19:42,721 We've found human footprints, dinosaurs and all 277 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:46,624 types of fossils that scientists tell us that should not be in 278 00:19:46,660 --> 00:19:51,730 the same level as man, but we find them coexisting. 279 00:19:52,065 --> 00:19:56,034 Now, we have never thought about this because 280 00:19:56,069 --> 00:20:01,104 science has told us that there are 65 million years between us and them. 281 00:20:01,141 --> 00:20:04,343 But there is, again, archaeological and geological 282 00:20:04,411 --> 00:20:06,778 evidence to suggest that this is not the case. 283 00:20:06,814 --> 00:20:10,015 There are footprints which show ancestors of ours and dinosaurs 284 00:20:10,084 --> 00:20:12,318 in the same stratum. 285 00:20:14,054 --> 00:20:17,756 Could these fossilized footprints really be 286 00:20:17,824 --> 00:20:23,362 evidence that, at some point, humans actually coexisted with dinosaurs? 287 00:20:24,497 --> 00:20:28,733 According to mainstream scientists, the fossil evidence 288 00:20:28,802 --> 00:20:33,571 found at Dinosaur Valley is inconclusive at best. 289 00:20:33,573 --> 00:20:37,542 There are three basic dinosaur eras-- the Triassic, 290 00:20:37,577 --> 00:20:39,877 Jurassic and Cretaceous. 291 00:20:39,879 --> 00:20:44,148 Actually, these were named not for the dinosaurs, but for the 292 00:20:44,184 --> 00:20:47,885 various rock structures that were found at that time. 293 00:20:47,921 --> 00:20:52,223 The Triassic dates back about 250 to 200 million years ago; 294 00:20:52,258 --> 00:20:57,328 the Jurassic, 200 to 135 million years ago; and the final, the 295 00:20:57,363 --> 00:21:01,199 Cretaceous, 135 to 65 million years ago. 296 00:21:01,234 --> 00:21:04,168 It is simply impossible to say that every 297 00:21:04,204 --> 00:21:08,272 single dinosaur of planet Earth completely disappeared, and the 298 00:21:08,341 --> 00:21:12,376 likelihood is that at least some definitely survived for at least 299 00:21:12,412 --> 00:21:14,179 several more million years. 300 00:21:17,416 --> 00:21:20,785 The most widely used scientific method to 301 00:21:20,854 --> 00:21:25,892 determine the age of fossils is by a process known as carbon dating-- 302 00:21:27,528 --> 00:21:31,863 a technique that measures the rate of decay and radioactivity in 303 00:21:31,898 --> 00:21:33,698 an organic object. 304 00:21:33,900 --> 00:21:36,868 Carbon-14, it's not a stable isotope, so it 305 00:21:36,903 --> 00:21:40,371 decays over time, whereas the C-12, carbon-12, does not decay, 306 00:21:40,406 --> 00:21:43,407 so by measuring the two against each other, we're able to get 307 00:21:43,443 --> 00:21:45,143 very general age. 308 00:21:45,211 --> 00:21:49,580 In order to do carbon dating, you need organic material. 309 00:21:49,616 --> 00:21:52,717 You need wood or bone-- something that lived. 310 00:21:52,752 --> 00:21:55,753 A piece of stone can't be carbon-dated, and often, 311 00:21:55,789 --> 00:21:58,556 archaeologists are reduced to finding something under that 312 00:21:58,591 --> 00:22:02,160 piece of stone, which is organic, and dating that, and 313 00:22:02,228 --> 00:22:05,630 then making the assumption, not necessarily correct, that the 314 00:22:05,665 --> 00:22:10,235 carving of the stone dates to the period of the thing under it. 315 00:22:10,637 --> 00:22:14,238 For objects that are millions of years old, 316 00:22:14,274 --> 00:22:19,076 there is no scientific method that will allow us to date the 317 00:22:19,112 --> 00:22:22,246 object or bone itself. 318 00:22:22,248 --> 00:22:27,084 They have to date the dinosaur bone according to the age of the 319 00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,788 deposits in which it is found. 320 00:22:30,824 --> 00:22:35,426 There are methods that will allow them to date these deposits. 321 00:22:35,461 --> 00:22:40,298 Carbon dating results don't get published in peer review journals. 322 00:22:40,333 --> 00:22:43,601 We have so many things happening in the world of science whereby 323 00:22:43,636 --> 00:22:46,270 it is clear that scientists are playing a game. 324 00:22:46,506 --> 00:22:51,709 And so this notion that somehow dinosaurs completely disappeared 325 00:22:51,778 --> 00:22:55,780 65 million years ago is now something which science as such 326 00:22:55,815 --> 00:22:59,650 is really beginning to push holes in, as well. 327 00:22:59,654 --> 00:23:02,487 Carbon dating assumes that the 328 00:23:02,522 --> 00:23:06,824 concentration of radiocarbon, carbon-14, is always a constant. 329 00:23:06,860 --> 00:23:09,894 And I think this is an assumption which may not be... 330 00:23:09,963 --> 00:23:13,297 may not be true, because carbon-14 is produced as a 331 00:23:13,333 --> 00:23:17,969 result of certain cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere. 332 00:23:17,971 --> 00:23:21,639 But if those cosmic ray interactions changed in the 333 00:23:21,674 --> 00:23:24,842 past, which they may well have done, then the production of 334 00:23:24,878 --> 00:23:28,079 carbon-14 that is present in the atmosphere at the time when it 335 00:23:28,147 --> 00:23:31,082 was fixed in whatever it is that are being tested, will have not 336 00:23:31,150 --> 00:23:32,817 been the same as it is now. 337 00:23:33,553 --> 00:23:37,688 But if the fossil evidence of dinosaurs cannot be 338 00:23:37,724 --> 00:23:42,260 reliably dated, might some bones actually be from a time 339 00:23:42,328 --> 00:23:46,397 thousands, or even millions, of years after paleontologists 340 00:23:46,432 --> 00:23:48,967 believe they became extinct? 341 00:23:49,335 --> 00:23:54,872 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer is yes, and 342 00:23:54,908 --> 00:24:00,044 they point to additional evidence found in South America. 343 00:24:04,182 --> 00:24:06,183 Ica, Peru. 344 00:24:06,219 --> 00:24:13,691 Here, in 1961, workers in the Ocucaje Desert unearthed a 345 00:24:13,726 --> 00:24:18,362 collection of carved andesite stones, many depicting what 346 00:24:18,398 --> 00:24:22,166 appear to be human encounters with dinosaurs. 347 00:24:22,535 --> 00:24:27,071 And since then, approximately 50,000 of these mysterious 348 00:24:27,106 --> 00:24:30,542 stones have been found across the region. 349 00:24:31,046 --> 00:24:34,111 I have photographed some hundreds of 350 00:24:34,147 --> 00:24:36,613 them in a collection in the city of Ica. 351 00:24:37,717 --> 00:24:41,552 And there was an old professor, Dr.Cabrera. 352 00:24:41,587 --> 00:24:47,291 The Indians brought him stones from all over the country of 353 00:24:47,360 --> 00:24:51,629 Peru, and on these stones is these fantastic engravings. 354 00:24:51,698 --> 00:24:56,534 Peruvian physician Javier Cabrera began researching 355 00:24:56,569 --> 00:25:01,739 what have become known as the Ica stones in 1966. 356 00:25:02,208 --> 00:25:06,944 Ranging in size from small pebbles to large boulders, 357 00:25:06,980 --> 00:25:13,150 Dr. Cabrera's museum preserves over 20,000 of the strange rock carvings. 358 00:25:13,219 --> 00:25:17,321 All dinosaurs died about 60 millions of years 359 00:25:17,390 --> 00:25:23,225 ago, so normally, no human being should ever have seen a dinosaur. 360 00:25:23,396 --> 00:25:27,732 But there are wonderful pictures, engravings on stone, 361 00:25:27,767 --> 00:25:32,169 where you see humans and dinosaurs together. 362 00:25:32,238 --> 00:25:37,409 Sometimes the humans are even riding on the back of the dinosaurs. 363 00:25:38,511 --> 00:25:42,646 What we have here is an Ica burial stone, which is very 364 00:25:42,682 --> 00:25:48,019 unique, and what it depicts is that man and dinosaurs lived 365 00:25:48,087 --> 00:25:49,888 contemporaneously. 366 00:25:50,790 --> 00:25:57,695 We see the various triceratops, brachiosaurus and T. rex-- 367 00:25:57,764 --> 00:26:00,464 those type of creatures. 368 00:26:00,500 --> 00:26:06,704 So these Icas had to either see them or they knew a lot more 369 00:26:06,773 --> 00:26:11,976 about the dinosaurs, because they drew them precisely. 370 00:26:12,911 --> 00:26:16,013 Although many ancient astronaut theorists 371 00:26:16,049 --> 00:26:19,550 believe the stones date from the fifth century BC to the early 372 00:26:19,619 --> 00:26:24,221 13th century AD, there are those in the scientific community 373 00:26:24,290 --> 00:26:27,292 who remain skeptical about their origin. 374 00:26:27,827 --> 00:26:32,696 But consider this-- just the enormous number of stones would 375 00:26:32,765 --> 00:26:36,434 have required that an artist carve more than 1,000 of them 376 00:26:36,469 --> 00:26:40,604 a year every year for 45 years. 377 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:46,677 But even if the Ica stones are proven to be real, more questions remain. 378 00:26:46,946 --> 00:26:49,380 What happened to the dinosaurs? 379 00:26:49,515 --> 00:26:52,616 Did they simply get hunted to extinction? 380 00:26:52,652 --> 00:26:54,852 If so, by whom? 381 00:26:54,887 --> 00:26:56,487 And why? 382 00:26:56,889 --> 00:26:59,857 Imagine a period in time when there are very 383 00:26:59,892 --> 00:27:01,858 few human beings about on this planet. 384 00:27:02,895 --> 00:27:05,962 And maybe there are dinosaurs about. 385 00:27:06,199 --> 00:27:10,433 These beings could easily kill our ancestors. 386 00:27:10,703 --> 00:27:13,971 If our ancestors were in an environment where there were 387 00:27:14,006 --> 00:27:18,376 dinosaurs, this would be the greatest threat to their survival. 388 00:27:18,911 --> 00:27:23,681 Might the dinosaurs have proven to be too big... 389 00:27:23,716 --> 00:27:29,520 too territorial... or simply too deadly for mankind 390 00:27:29,555 --> 00:27:31,790 to allow their survival? 391 00:27:32,725 --> 00:27:38,529 Or was their demise part of a larger plan, not by humans, 392 00:27:38,564 --> 00:27:44,302 but by otherworldly beings, as many ancient astronaut theorists speculate? 393 00:27:44,837 --> 00:27:48,405 And they believe further evidence can be found in the 394 00:27:48,474 --> 00:27:51,807 study of Earth-threatening asteroids. 395 00:27:57,528 --> 00:28:01,828 The United States Capitol, 1992. 396 00:28:01,966 --> 00:28:06,669 Congress authorizes funding for the Spaceguard program, a global 397 00:28:06,704 --> 00:28:11,007 network of telescopes designed to scan the skies for 398 00:28:11,042 --> 00:28:13,676 Earth-threatening asteroids. 399 00:28:13,711 --> 00:28:19,215 As of 2011, NASA has identified approximately 10,000 near-Earth 400 00:28:19,250 --> 00:28:23,119 objects that could potentially hit our planet. 401 00:28:24,855 --> 00:28:30,560 Of all the natural hazards that we know of-- 402 00:28:30,595 --> 00:28:38,301 earthquakes, volcano, hurricanes, typhoons-- 403 00:28:38,336 --> 00:28:42,972 the impact hazard, the possibility of us being hit by a comet or 404 00:28:43,007 --> 00:28:46,376 asteroid, is the only one we can eliminate. 405 00:28:46,377 --> 00:28:50,213 You could never stop an earthquake or a volcano. 406 00:28:50,248 --> 00:28:54,350 But if we had a decade, two decades warning of an object 407 00:28:54,385 --> 00:28:57,753 that might hit the Earth, we do have the technology, at least 408 00:28:57,822 --> 00:29:01,224 in principle, to send a spacecraft out and give it a 409 00:29:01,259 --> 00:29:08,564 nudge and just slightly change its orbit so it misses. 410 00:29:08,566 --> 00:29:13,035 If we can control the trajectories of asteroids 411 00:29:13,071 --> 00:29:18,174 to direct them away from Earth, then it's certainly possible 412 00:29:18,209 --> 00:29:21,844 that highly advanced extraterrestrials could have had 413 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,616 the technology to direct an asteroid towards Earth. 414 00:29:28,752 --> 00:29:34,590 Did advanced E.T.'s direct an asteroid to that spot? 415 00:29:34,626 --> 00:29:38,728 It's within the realm of feasibility that advanced E.T.'s 416 00:29:38,763 --> 00:29:43,066 indeed directed an asteroid to the Yucatan Peninsula. 417 00:29:45,302 --> 00:29:52,108 The question is: Was the impact enough to trigger the extinction? 418 00:29:52,143 --> 00:29:53,743 And that's what's controversial. 419 00:29:53,778 --> 00:29:56,212 Some people believe that that was enough; some people 420 00:29:56,247 --> 00:29:58,881 believe that it wasn't. 421 00:30:00,317 --> 00:30:04,587 For decades, mainstream scientists believed 422 00:30:04,622 --> 00:30:07,757 that the asteroid that may have been responsible for wiping 423 00:30:07,792 --> 00:30:13,561 out the dinosaurs was a fragment of a giant asteroid called Baptistina. 424 00:30:13,932 --> 00:30:19,602 But on September 19, 2011, NASA concluded that the deadly 425 00:30:19,637 --> 00:30:23,340 asteroid may have had a different origin. 426 00:30:26,643 --> 00:30:30,846 Some people think that they can guess what the 427 00:30:30,915 --> 00:30:34,917 origin was of the object that hit us 65 million years ago. 428 00:30:34,953 --> 00:30:36,786 Others disagree. 429 00:30:36,821 --> 00:30:39,520 We simply don't have enough data. 430 00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:43,259 But if the asteroid did not break off of Baptistina, 431 00:30:43,294 --> 00:30:45,461 where did it come from? 432 00:30:45,496 --> 00:30:48,931 And is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists 433 00:30:48,967 --> 00:30:53,035 believe, that the object may not have been an asteroid, but an 434 00:30:53,104 --> 00:30:56,305 extraterrestrial weapon? 435 00:30:58,875 --> 00:31:03,780 Perhaps the extinction was triggered by advanced E.T.'s. 436 00:31:03,781 --> 00:31:07,818 Specifically, they might have used something to destroy the dinosaurs. 437 00:31:08,853 --> 00:31:14,357 In 1980, physicist Luis Alvarez discovered a thin, 438 00:31:14,392 --> 00:31:18,661 global layer of sediment nearly 65 million years old that 439 00:31:18,696 --> 00:31:26,100 contains high levels of iridium, an element not naturally found on Earth. 440 00:31:26,137 --> 00:31:29,505 Those materials probably came from an asteroid. 441 00:31:29,540 --> 00:31:31,674 They could have come from a comet. 442 00:31:31,709 --> 00:31:35,344 But they definitely came from somewhere in the solar system 443 00:31:35,380 --> 00:31:38,080 far beyond the Earth and moon. 444 00:31:38,149 --> 00:31:41,350 Iridium is believed to be deposited on Earth by 445 00:31:41,386 --> 00:31:46,522 celestial masses like meteors, comets and asteroids. 446 00:31:46,557 --> 00:31:50,593 But the rare element can also be introduced into the atmosphere 447 00:31:50,661 --> 00:31:53,461 as a byproduct of something else. 448 00:31:57,168 --> 00:32:00,870 Fallout from a nuclear weapon. 449 00:32:00,905 --> 00:32:04,940 But could the Earth's iridium layer be physical proof that 450 00:32:05,009 --> 00:32:09,945 advanced nuclear weapons had at one time devastated our planet? 451 00:32:10,014 --> 00:32:12,715 And might they have been deliberately deployed in an 452 00:32:12,750 --> 00:32:15,451 effort to wipe out the dinosaurs? 453 00:32:20,757 --> 00:32:23,225 Most people don't realize that most of the T.Rex 454 00:32:23,261 --> 00:32:26,128 skeletons that are on display at various museums 455 00:32:26,197 --> 00:32:29,899 around the world-- for instance the Field Museum in Chicago has 456 00:32:29,934 --> 00:32:32,868 these dinosaur skeletons, these T. rex skeletons, and they're 457 00:32:32,904 --> 00:32:37,307 painted with a very specific high-density lead paint. 458 00:32:38,443 --> 00:32:41,377 Now, the reason they had to paint them with lead paint is 459 00:32:41,412 --> 00:32:44,146 because when they discovered the bones of these T. rexes, 460 00:32:44,215 --> 00:32:48,552 they discovered that they were very, very intensely radioactive. 461 00:32:49,787 --> 00:32:53,155 But if dinosaurs really fell victim to a nuclear 462 00:32:53,224 --> 00:32:57,626 attack, might there be some sort of tangible evidence? 463 00:33:00,297 --> 00:33:03,732 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the evidence does, in 464 00:33:03,768 --> 00:33:09,572 fact, exist-- in the pages of the ancient Hindu texts. 465 00:33:09,607 --> 00:33:11,774 We can look into the ancient Indian texts like the 466 00:33:11,809 --> 00:33:16,145 Mahabharata, and there are clear stories that describe lizards of 467 00:33:16,214 --> 00:33:23,119 various sizes-- some even the size of buildings-- at were 468 00:33:23,187 --> 00:33:24,920 all mass-exterminated. 469 00:33:24,956 --> 00:33:27,755 And it was because of the angry gods. 470 00:33:27,758 --> 00:33:31,127 Now, we can look at this and say it's mythology, or was there 471 00:33:31,195 --> 00:33:37,233 some type of mass extinction-level event caused by ancient aliens? 472 00:33:37,768 --> 00:33:42,404 If we look at the records left in the ancient 473 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:47,409 Sanskrit writings of India, we see descriptions of weapons 474 00:33:47,445 --> 00:33:51,646 resembling modern atomic weapons. 475 00:33:52,283 --> 00:33:58,553 We also see descriptions of advanced technology, such as spacecraft. 476 00:33:58,890 --> 00:34:02,158 In the Mahabharata and other sacred Indian texts, 477 00:34:02,226 --> 00:34:06,162 we can read that weapons of mass destruction were used that were 478 00:34:06,230 --> 00:34:11,066 brighter than a thousand suns when they were deployed. 479 00:34:14,104 --> 00:34:18,842 And afterwards, silence fell over the affected land. 480 00:34:20,478 --> 00:34:24,580 If nuclear weapons were deployed, the only logical 481 00:34:24,615 --> 00:34:29,419 conclusion is that their origin was in fact extraterrestrial. 482 00:34:29,954 --> 00:34:33,589 Is it possible that what we have here was in fact not an 483 00:34:33,624 --> 00:34:37,725 extinction, but an extermination event? 484 00:34:40,498 --> 00:34:43,465 Might the dinosaurs really have been exterminated by 485 00:34:43,501 --> 00:34:49,305 extraterrestrial beings, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe? 486 00:34:49,340 --> 00:34:53,676 And if so, could it be that some of them have in fact 487 00:34:53,711 --> 00:34:55,678 survived to this day? 488 00:34:58,448 --> 00:35:02,551 There are those who believe the answer is yes and that the 489 00:35:02,620 --> 00:35:08,357 evidence can be found in the creatures that exist right before our eyes. 490 00:35:14,355 --> 00:35:16,757 Solnhofen, Germany. 491 00:35:16,825 --> 00:35:18,660 1861. 492 00:35:20,095 --> 00:35:25,165 Archaeologists discover a strange fossil embedded in limestone. 493 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,437 Its features clearly identify it as a dinosaur, but with one 494 00:35:30,506 --> 00:35:33,273 exception: it has wings. 495 00:35:33,342 --> 00:35:38,078 They called it Archeopteryx, or "ancient wing." 496 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:43,216 Archaeopteryx-- it's like the-the Mona Lisa of the fossil world. 497 00:35:43,252 --> 00:35:46,787 It's an animal that lived about 150 million years ago. 498 00:35:49,691 --> 00:35:55,228 It had a long bony tail, big claws, teeth in its mouth. 499 00:35:55,264 --> 00:35:56,363 It was a small animal. 500 00:35:56,398 --> 00:35:58,865 It was certainly a flyer. 501 00:35:58,901 --> 00:36:01,868 We don't know anything about feathers before then. 502 00:36:01,904 --> 00:36:04,805 But we certainly see in Archaeopteryx that has feathers 503 00:36:04,873 --> 00:36:07,307 that are designed for flying. 504 00:36:10,111 --> 00:36:12,579 Now, the feathers may have been for warmth, they may 505 00:36:12,614 --> 00:36:15,582 have been for display to attract mates or perhaps to help them 506 00:36:15,617 --> 00:36:20,786 move faster when either chasing prey or being pursued themselves. 507 00:36:22,791 --> 00:36:26,626 The evidence appears to be very strong, because there are 508 00:36:26,662 --> 00:36:31,498 actually over 100 anatomical characteristics that are similar 509 00:36:31,567 --> 00:36:34,501 to birds and dinosaurs. 510 00:36:34,570 --> 00:36:37,838 And one theory is that T. rex, for example, has relatives 511 00:36:37,906 --> 00:36:43,143 today among chickens and ostriches. 512 00:36:43,178 --> 00:36:47,681 Nowadays, it's very well accepted that dinosaurs are not extinct. 513 00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:52,686 If you consider that we live with 10,000 species of living 514 00:36:52,755 --> 00:36:55,956 birds, that means 10,000 species of living dinosaurs. 515 00:36:55,991 --> 00:37:00,594 So many primitive birds that are very dinosaur-like, these are 516 00:37:00,629 --> 00:37:02,963 all missing links, if you want. 517 00:37:05,299 --> 00:37:09,703 To date, Archaeopteryx is the only species of dinosaur 518 00:37:09,772 --> 00:37:13,640 paleontologists believe capable of flight. 519 00:37:13,675 --> 00:37:18,178 But if this is the only flying dinosaur ever discovered, how is 520 00:37:18,213 --> 00:37:22,315 it, as ancient astronaut theorists argue, that all modern 521 00:37:22,351 --> 00:37:25,620 birds could have stemmed from this one creature? 522 00:37:26,655 --> 00:37:30,557 And how is it possible that birds and certain reptiles with 523 00:37:30,626 --> 00:37:34,095 dinosaur genes were able to evolve? 524 00:37:34,997 --> 00:37:39,232 According to evolution, all dinosaurs died 525 00:37:39,301 --> 00:37:42,669 out about 60 millions of years. 526 00:37:42,704 --> 00:37:46,873 First, there are many speculations what the reason is. 527 00:37:46,909 --> 00:37:51,378 It was said that it was an impact maybe created by a meteorite. 528 00:37:51,413 --> 00:37:57,450 But if this would be true, why only the dinosaurs died? 529 00:37:57,486 --> 00:38:01,655 It should be that all kind of animal were killed on Earth if 530 00:38:01,690 --> 00:38:03,323 you have a meteorite impact. 531 00:38:03,358 --> 00:38:04,724 So that's not the case. 532 00:38:04,793 --> 00:38:08,128 So the question is: why only the dinosaurs died? 533 00:38:12,466 --> 00:38:14,367 Some creatures that we are familiar 534 00:38:14,403 --> 00:38:18,672 with have survived from very long ago, cockroaches, 535 00:38:18,707 --> 00:38:22,175 crocodiles, sharks, lizards. 536 00:38:22,177 --> 00:38:25,312 So the possibility exists that there are some that we have not 537 00:38:25,347 --> 00:38:28,315 seen that may live at the very deep part of the ocean or in 538 00:38:28,350 --> 00:38:29,716 unexplored lakes. 539 00:38:29,751 --> 00:38:31,718 We don't know. 540 00:38:34,388 --> 00:38:38,592 We have a number of reports of lake monsters around the world. 541 00:38:38,660 --> 00:38:42,195 The most famous, of course, Loch Ness in Scotland. 542 00:38:42,231 --> 00:38:47,234 Are these dinosaurs that actually survived the devastation from 65 million 543 00:38:47,269 --> 00:38:50,203 years ago and found an ecological niche to survive in? 544 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:54,708 For skeptics who believe that the dinosaurs died out 65 545 00:38:54,743 --> 00:38:59,846 million years ago, I point to the case of the coelacanth. 546 00:38:59,882 --> 00:39:03,617 This is a so-called fossil fish that was discovered off the 547 00:39:03,685 --> 00:39:06,385 coast of Madagascar back in 1938. 548 00:39:06,421 --> 00:39:09,189 Now, it was believed extinct for millions of years. 549 00:39:09,224 --> 00:39:11,724 It actually predated the dinosaurs. 550 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:17,029 This is a large fish about five to six feet in length and 100 pounds. 551 00:39:21,102 --> 00:39:23,870 Is it possible that the so-called evolutionary 552 00:39:23,906 --> 00:39:28,141 offspring of dinosaurs are a result of extraterrestrial 553 00:39:28,210 --> 00:39:32,746 intervention, as many ancient astronaut theorists believe? 554 00:39:32,781 --> 00:39:36,750 And if so, how and why? 555 00:39:36,785 --> 00:39:40,654 Some believe the answers can be found in the very bones of the 556 00:39:40,722 --> 00:39:42,656 dinosaurs themselves. 557 00:39:45,726 --> 00:39:50,130 In 1993, paleontologist Mary Schweitzer publishes a 558 00:39:50,165 --> 00:39:53,700 groundbreaking study concerning the fractured leg bone of a 559 00:39:53,769 --> 00:39:59,705 Tyrannosaurus rex, one presumed to be almost 70 million years old. 560 00:40:00,175 --> 00:40:04,311 Here, Schweitzer discovered the remains of blood vessels and 561 00:40:04,346 --> 00:40:06,713 what appeared to be whole cells. 562 00:40:09,650 --> 00:40:13,987 Her discovery contradicted what most mainstream scientists had 563 00:40:14,022 --> 00:40:17,023 long believed about the perishable nature of the soft 564 00:40:17,059 --> 00:40:19,594 body tissue of dinosaurs. 565 00:40:20,829 --> 00:40:25,298 I think that the possibility of finding proteins 566 00:40:25,334 --> 00:40:30,136 or portions of DNA, say, in animals that lived hundreds of 567 00:40:30,172 --> 00:40:35,542 millions of years ago is certainly exciting because it opens up a world of 568 00:40:35,577 --> 00:40:40,246 paleogenetics, a world in which we can look at the genetic 569 00:40:40,315 --> 00:40:43,516 structure of this ancient organism in a way that 570 00:40:43,552 --> 00:40:46,018 we haven't been able to do thus far. 571 00:40:46,321 --> 00:40:48,488 Now, the current thinking has been that 572 00:40:48,523 --> 00:40:52,359 everything of a soft nature like that would've been ossified and 573 00:40:52,394 --> 00:40:54,327 would not exist today. 574 00:40:54,363 --> 00:40:58,999 Her research apparently shows that there could be DNA samples 575 00:40:59,034 --> 00:41:04,204 inside dinosaur fossils that could be extracted and it could 576 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,208 be used to actually recreate one or more dinosaurs, to actually 577 00:41:08,243 --> 00:41:12,212 give us a real Jurassic Park. 578 00:41:15,416 --> 00:41:18,218 If scientists are getting closer to extracting 579 00:41:18,253 --> 00:41:22,889 viable DNA from dinosaur fossils, is it possible, as 580 00:41:22,924 --> 00:41:27,627 ancient astronaut theorists suggest, that extraterrestrials 581 00:41:27,696 --> 00:41:31,064 may have pioneered this technique thousands, or perhaps 582 00:41:31,099 --> 00:41:34,067 millions of years ago? 583 00:41:34,102 --> 00:41:37,637 And might they have manipulated that genetic material to make 584 00:41:37,706 --> 00:41:43,442 dinosaurs into numerous smaller, and arguably more manageable, species? 585 00:41:45,914 --> 00:41:49,816 I think it is possible that the coelacanth 586 00:41:49,885 --> 00:41:56,157 survived due to a direct guarantee by extraterrestrials. 587 00:41:57,359 --> 00:42:03,196 That they might have saved the coelacanth DNA and reintroduced 588 00:42:03,231 --> 00:42:05,565 the coelacanth into the world's 589 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:10,435 oceans millions of years after it was extinct. 590 00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:16,209 And the same counts for crocodiles and turtles and all 591 00:42:16,244 --> 00:42:20,213 of those animals that we know of today that have survived from 592 00:42:20,248 --> 00:42:22,215 the age of the dinosaurs. 593 00:42:25,453 --> 00:42:28,822 It's very difficult to say what would have happened 594 00:42:28,890 --> 00:42:33,692 if the large dinosaurs of the Mesozoic era didn't become extinct. 595 00:42:34,062 --> 00:42:39,499 But there's no doubt that the world as we know it today, in my 596 00:42:39,568 --> 00:42:45,137 opinion, must have been forged by the disappearance of the dinosaurs. 597 00:42:47,509 --> 00:42:50,643 Maybe it was made on purpose by 598 00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:54,614 extraterrestrials simply because if the dinosaurs would have 599 00:42:54,649 --> 00:42:58,852 survived, they would have overtaken the planet Earth, and 600 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,954 that was not in their plan. 601 00:43:00,989 --> 00:43:05,525 It was in their plan to create something like themselves, a 602 00:43:05,594 --> 00:43:07,193 human-like being. 603 00:43:07,262 --> 00:43:10,763 So the dinosaurs were not helpful in this game. 604 00:43:14,635 --> 00:43:18,471 Might the extinction of dinosaurs have actually been a planned 605 00:43:18,507 --> 00:43:21,975 extermination by extraterrestrials? 606 00:43:22,511 --> 00:43:26,779 And could some dinosaurs have actually survived the event and 607 00:43:26,815 --> 00:43:32,053 even coexisted with man and still exist in another form? 608 00:43:33,188 --> 00:43:38,858 Perhaps the answers lie buried in every region of our globe. 609 00:43:38,927 --> 00:43:42,662 Because the more we learn about dinosaurs, the closer we may 610 00:43:42,697 --> 00:43:46,999 come to discovering the truth about the extraterrestrial 611 00:43:46,900 --> 00:43:51,098 nature of the strangest creatures that ever lived on 612 00:43:51,099 --> 00:43:54,299 Planet Earth: ourselves. 613
