These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:04,650 The fruit of a tree that forever alters humanity. 2 00:00:04,970 --> 00:00:10,530 The serpent being offers them some special food to eat. And suddenly we 3 00:00:10,530 --> 00:00:15,350 fundamental change. A drink that grants everlasting life. 4 00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:20,290 This liquid could convey immortality upon those who consume it. 5 00:00:20,570 --> 00:00:22,210 And a nourishing substance. 6 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,580 that rains down from the sky. 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,320 This machine was given to the Israelites by extraterrestrials. 8 00:00:30,940 --> 00:00:36,080 In every religious tradition, there are foods believed to possess extraordinary 9 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,440 power, and some that are even consumed by the gods themselves. 10 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,320 The gods ate the gods' drink, and this is what kept them divine. 11 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,880 But is it possible that what our ancestors described as gods were in fact 12 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,160 visitors from another world? 13 00:00:54,400 --> 00:01:00,620 And if so, might the food of these gods reveal a powerful link to mankind's 14 00:01:00,620 --> 00:01:02,540 extraterrestrial origins? 15 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:08,660 These foods were directly introduced into the human experience in order to 16 00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:11,840 awaken, to bring us closer to the gods. 17 00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:17,900 There is a doorway in the universe. 18 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:26,090 Beyond it, is the promise of truth it demands we question everything 19 00:01:26,090 --> 00:01:33,030 we have ever been taught the evidence is all around us the 20 00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:40,030 future is right before our eyes we are not alone we have 21 00:01:40,030 --> 00:01:41,810 never been alone 22 00:01:50,890 --> 00:01:56,270 As humanity prepares to travel to other worlds, one of the biggest challenges 23 00:01:56,270 --> 00:02:01,810 facing scientists is how to provide sustenance beyond that found on planet 24 00:02:01,810 --> 00:02:07,450 Earth. When we think of the early pioneers, we think of, quote, living off 25 00:02:07,450 --> 00:02:10,169 land. You can't do that in outer space. 26 00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:13,590 There's no soil. There's no oxygen. 27 00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:18,470 There's very little of the basic ingredients that we take for granted on 28 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:19,470 planet Earth. 29 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:24,200 So living in outer space presents a whole new set of challenges. 30 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:31,160 Currently, NASA researchers are experimenting with various possible 31 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,500 the problem of keeping humans fed during long -term missions. 32 00:02:35,140 --> 00:02:41,120 For long expeditions in space, there are really three things we have to do. 33 00:02:41,340 --> 00:02:43,440 One, either bring our food with us. 34 00:02:44,020 --> 00:02:47,380 Wherever we go, take the food. Wagon trade. 35 00:02:49,660 --> 00:02:55,440 Two, terraform a planet or find a planet where we can already grow food that can 36 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,000 sustain us. Or three, change our own metabolism so that we can 37 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,620 exist on a whole different kind of food. 38 00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:10,580 But is it even possible to sustain life in the vacuum of space? 39 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:17,130 In recent years, Biologists have discovered organisms on our planet that 40 00:03:17,130 --> 00:03:22,590 thrive in extreme conditions, like those found in the deepest depths of Earth's 41 00:03:22,590 --> 00:03:27,150 oceans. The prevailing assumption was that there wasn't much life at the 42 00:03:27,150 --> 00:03:33,330 of the ocean. So this idea that the deep sea could actually contain life, 43 00:03:33,570 --> 00:03:37,370 it's pretty phenomenal, because I think we had assumed that without light we 44 00:03:37,370 --> 00:03:38,370 couldn't have life. 45 00:03:38,810 --> 00:03:44,110 So the existence of whole ecosystems that are supported by chemical reactions 46 00:03:44,110 --> 00:03:49,790 that don't need light to generate biomolecules and energy, I think was 47 00:03:49,790 --> 00:03:50,790 revolutionary. 48 00:03:51,910 --> 00:03:57,230 But could the key to mankind's survival on other worlds be found not in a 49 00:03:57,230 --> 00:04:02,330 laboratory, but by studying past accounts of extraterrestrial encounters? 50 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:06,830 Eagle River, Wisconsin. 51 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,860 April 18, 1961. 52 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,740 Plumber Joe Simonton is finishing his lunch when he notices a metallic saucer 53 00:04:16,740 --> 00:04:20,140 -shaped crack landing just outside his kitchen window. 54 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:27,400 I raced out to see what it was, and by that time, there was a hatchway opening 55 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,980 up in the top of it, just like the trunk of your car. 56 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,260 And in there, there stood a little man. 57 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,060 I say a little man, about five foot tall. 58 00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:39,960 holding up a jug, and he motioned he wanted to drink. He motioned for water. 59 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:46,220 I walked up to him to get this jug, and I looked at his eyes, and they were so 60 00:04:46,220 --> 00:04:48,240 penetrating that I had to look away. 61 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,920 Simonton took the container and filled it with water. 62 00:04:54,180 --> 00:04:58,480 When he returned to the flying saucer, he noticed a second beam with what 63 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,500 appeared to be food -like wafers. 64 00:05:02,090 --> 00:05:05,790 He didn't say a word. He just reached over and he got a handful of them, four 65 00:05:05,790 --> 00:05:09,030 them, and he handed them down to me, which I have one here yet. 66 00:05:09,890 --> 00:05:15,050 According to Simonton, the two aliens promptly closed the hatch and took off. 67 00:05:15,490 --> 00:05:18,290 Within two or three seconds, it was out of sight. 68 00:05:18,510 --> 00:05:22,470 Well, there I stood in the driveway wondering what the heck I saw, what had 69 00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:28,350 happened. And if that was their food, God help them, because I took a bite of 70 00:05:28,350 --> 00:05:30,750 one of them and it tasted like a piece of cardboard. 71 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:39,280 The case immediately garnered the attention of U .S. government agencies 72 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:45,220 into the UFO phenomenon, including Project Blue Book and its science 73 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,660 astronomer J. Allen Hynek. 74 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,720 Joe Simonton, this is an interesting case because it has a level of physical 75 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200 evidence that we don't often see with a lot of these cases. 76 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:03,440 Nightcap. The National Investigations Committee for Aerial Phenomena, which 77 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:09,180 largely CIA back in that period of time, wants to investigate. And J. Allen 78 00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:13,660 Hynek, who was doing investigations for the Air Force, he wanted to investigate. 79 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,880 Hynek obtained samples of the wafers and requested a full analysis by the U .S. 80 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,080 Department of Health Food and Drug Laboratory. 81 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,780 The report stated that the wafers consisted of chemically modified 82 00:06:27,780 --> 00:06:31,480 plants. including buckwheat, soybeans, and bran. 83 00:06:33,260 --> 00:06:38,520 But curiously, not even the tiniest trace amount of salt was detected in the 84 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,520 sample. 85 00:06:41,380 --> 00:06:48,340 There was no salt at all found in this analysis by NICAP and J. Allen 86 00:06:48,340 --> 00:06:49,340 Hynek. 87 00:06:49,620 --> 00:06:50,940 And it's puzzling. 88 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,520 One of the interesting things about life on this planet is it did start in the 89 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,440 oceans, and the ocean is salt water. And so fundamentally, the water in our 90 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,040 bodies, in our cells, and in pretty much every living thing has a certain amount 91 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,680 of salt concentration, and it's ubiquitous everywhere. 92 00:07:07,620 --> 00:07:13,700 According to scientists, every cell of every living organism on Earth contains 93 00:07:13,700 --> 00:07:16,820 trace amount of sodium chloride, or salt. 94 00:07:17,420 --> 00:07:22,430 So could the complete lack of salt in Joe Simonton's so -called alien wafer 95 00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:26,650 really be proof that it came from an extraterrestrial source? 96 00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:33,570 We see in outer space thousands of planets with different kinds of 97 00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:38,190 so it's definitely possible that you could have an entire planet with very 98 00:07:38,190 --> 00:07:39,250 little salt on it. 99 00:07:39,690 --> 00:07:45,670 What if salt is as poisonous to those aliens? 100 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,360 as cyanide is to us. 101 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,900 That's what that alien contact could presuppose, that we've learned something 102 00:07:52,900 --> 00:07:55,660 about what's poisonous to them. 103 00:07:56,100 --> 00:08:01,860 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that support for the Joe Simonton story and 104 00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:06,500 the notion that salt might be poisonous to some extraterrestrials that have 105 00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:12,140 visited Earth can be found in ancient tales from around the world in which 106 00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:14,680 is used to ward off alien entities. 107 00:08:16,930 --> 00:08:21,070 The salt connection to the Simonton story is very interesting because it 108 00:08:21,070 --> 00:08:26,290 connects to other mythologies involving demonic beings or fairy beings. 109 00:08:27,130 --> 00:08:31,670 They say that if you pour salt on the ground in front of a fairy, it has to 110 00:08:31,670 --> 00:08:35,010 automatically, or that you can throw salt over your shoulder and this will 111 00:08:35,010 --> 00:08:36,130 off evil spirits. 112 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,440 The Shinto religion uses salt as a protective mechanism. 113 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:47,600 So for salt to be lacking in these pancakes is extraordinary because it 114 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,320 us to these ancient stories, and it actually confirms these ancient stories. 115 00:08:54,580 --> 00:08:59,720 But if the stories of both the past and present are true, and these alien 116 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,740 visitors cannot consume salt, 117 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,880 How have they been able to sustain themselves in a place where salt is 118 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:13,240 Ancient astronaut theorists believe that the answer to this one simple question 119 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:20,120 may reveal both an alien agenda on Earth and perhaps even the purpose behind the 120 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,760 creation of humankind. 121 00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:28,220 Egypt 122 00:09:29,390 --> 00:09:31,670 The 14th century B .C. 123 00:09:33,410 --> 00:09:38,610 According to the Hebrew Bible's book of Exodus, the prophet Moses helps the 124 00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:43,230 Jewish slaves to escape the tyranny of the Pharaoh, leading them across the Red 125 00:09:43,230 --> 00:09:45,830 Sea and into the Sinai Desert. 126 00:09:46,670 --> 00:09:51,010 During the Exodus phase, you know, you're wandering in the desert for 127 00:09:51,010 --> 00:09:52,610 years. What do you eat? 128 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:58,320 Well, God provides this magical substance. 129 00:09:59,460 --> 00:10:06,220 Moses appealed to Yahweh, the Old Testament God, and Yahweh caused manna, 130 00:10:06,220 --> 00:10:10,800 this food of the heavens, to rain down upon the Israelites. 131 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:17,040 But according to ancient astronaut theorists, the story of the Israelites 132 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:22,340 receiving manna from heaven is not a story about a magical food being sent by 133 00:10:22,340 --> 00:10:28,600 Almighty God, but one of extraterrestrials using their advanced 134 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,080 order to prevent a group of migrating humans from starving. 135 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,660 We assumed that we were looking at gods in the past. 136 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,900 We didn't know we might be looking at aliens. 137 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:51,240 In 1978, linguist George Sassoon, and electrical engineer Rodney Dale 138 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,440 released their book, The Mana Machine. 139 00:10:54,760 --> 00:11:00,380 In it, they propose that the supplementary Hebrew texts of the Zohar 140 00:11:00,380 --> 00:11:05,260 surprisingly detailed descriptions that point to mana being supplied by a 141 00:11:05,260 --> 00:11:06,260 mechanical device. 142 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:12,700 We have a concise description of it in the ancient Jewish text of the Zohar, 143 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,280 where they describe the transportable one with the tanks. 144 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:23,780 Dale and Sassoon looked at these stories and they came out with the idea that 145 00:11:23,780 --> 00:11:28,440 this is not a description of God at all. It's a description of a machine. 146 00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:34,320 The manna machine was this tower -like structure and it had these two giant 147 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,000 tanks and a dispenser. 148 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:43,060 Manna is the product of that machine and it is based on algae 149 00:11:43,060 --> 00:11:45,880 cultures. This manna machine... 150 00:11:46,380 --> 00:11:52,860 had to be taken apart every Saturday. And this was the one day that 151 00:11:52,860 --> 00:11:55,160 the tribe did not have any food. 152 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:02,160 The basic proposition by Dale and Sassoon is that this machine was given 153 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,400 to the Israelites by extraterrestrials. 154 00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:12,920 Could it be that extraterrestrials provided technology to the Israelites to 155 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:13,869 sustain them? 156 00:12:13,870 --> 00:12:15,850 during their long journey through the desert? 157 00:12:16,410 --> 00:12:21,930 For the answer, ancient astronaut theorists point to passages describing a 158 00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:27,430 pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire guiding them at night. 159 00:12:28,970 --> 00:12:34,330 They're following a light that's guiding them as they wander for 40 years 160 00:12:34,330 --> 00:12:38,810 through these deserts of the Sinai and northern Saudi Arabia. 161 00:12:40,230 --> 00:12:47,120 So you have to ask yourself, Is it possible that this killer of fire is a 162 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,340 that was working with Moses to bring the Israelites to the Promised Land? 163 00:12:53,380 --> 00:12:58,880 If extraterrestrials provided the Israelites with a food dispensing 164 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,620 it possible that they had been using this or a similar technology to sustain 165 00:13:03,620 --> 00:13:04,620 themselves? 166 00:13:06,180 --> 00:13:11,220 Perhaps the same technology as the one that produced the mysterious salt -free 167 00:13:11,220 --> 00:13:16,120 wafer. that Joe Simonton claimed was given to him by aliens in 1961. 168 00:13:18,860 --> 00:13:24,400 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer lies not in 169 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,840 further study of the so -called manna machine, but by looking into other 170 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,360 possible extraterrestrial food sources. 171 00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:38,800 I think there's a definite connection to be drawn between a lot of the food 172 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,620 preparation practice that we see associated with all sorts of major 173 00:13:42,620 --> 00:13:45,260 and the modern UFO phenomena. 174 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:51,300 If we look back into ancient religions, one of the things that we find time and 175 00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:56,280 again, no matter which part of the world it is, is the issue of sacrifice of 176 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,280 animals. 177 00:13:59,060 --> 00:14:02,320 Now, the big question is, why was this being done? 178 00:14:02,990 --> 00:14:08,770 Well, I think we could make an interesting scenario if, for example, 179 00:14:08,770 --> 00:14:12,070 required specific food and liquid items. 180 00:14:13,250 --> 00:14:15,630 There are all sorts of religions that have food restrictions. 181 00:14:15,930 --> 00:14:19,470 In the Jewish tradition, we have the word kosher, what is acceptable food. 182 00:14:19,690 --> 00:14:23,250 In the Islamic tradition, halal, exactly the same thing, what food is allowed, 183 00:14:23,470 --> 00:14:24,470 what food is acceptable. 184 00:14:25,290 --> 00:14:29,310 And so, for example, when you kill an animal, you cut the throat, you drain 185 00:14:29,310 --> 00:14:31,710 blood, you want as little blood there as possible. 186 00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:39,180 The handling and management of blood in kosher and halal practice is 187 00:14:39,180 --> 00:14:43,720 especially important because it is generally considered reserved for God. I 188 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,280 wouldn't be surprised at all if blood did not play a big role in their food. 189 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:54,880 if people in the past had seen them consuming blood, it might have become 190 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,400 higher beings had the right to consume the blood, not human beings. 191 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:07,900 Malheur National Forest, Kearney County, Oregon, July 30th, 2019. 192 00:15:09,660 --> 00:15:14,780 A rancher discovers the mutilated carcasses of five of his prized voles. 193 00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:22,640 At a loss to explain the deaths, authorities note that the animals have 194 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,900 entirely drained of blood. 195 00:15:24,620 --> 00:15:29,040 This is in keeping with many similar mutilations reported around the world. 196 00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:37,760 Animals of every type you can think of, large and small, have been bloodlessly 197 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:38,760 mutilated. 198 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:47,360 Wild animals, deer, elk, marmots, reindeer, kangaroos, 199 00:15:47,540 --> 00:15:51,380 snakes, all found bloodlessly mutilated. 200 00:15:52,620 --> 00:15:58,140 When cows are mutilated, one of the things we notice is that they're 201 00:15:58,140 --> 00:15:59,380 drained of blood. 202 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,220 Anguinated. What could that possibly mean? 203 00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:10,440 According to FBI statistics, the agency has documented over 10 ,000 official 204 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,640 reports of similar animal mutilations over the past half century. 205 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,880 Investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe began researching cattle 206 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,980 in the late 1970s. When I produced The Strange Harvest about the animal 207 00:16:25,980 --> 00:16:26,980 mutilations, 208 00:16:27,450 --> 00:16:32,690 All of it was a brand new landscape for me as an investigative reporter and TV 209 00:16:32,690 --> 00:16:39,250 producer. And it led me to people who were saying the perpetrators are 210 00:16:39,250 --> 00:16:40,250 from outer space. 211 00:16:40,970 --> 00:16:44,930 And the whole issue of what are they? 212 00:16:45,590 --> 00:16:46,930 Do they eat? 213 00:16:47,210 --> 00:16:51,070 Do they drink? Are they like a what? 214 00:16:52,070 --> 00:16:53,430 During her investigation, 215 00:16:54,140 --> 00:16:58,720 Linda met with a woman from the Las Cruces, New Mexico area who claimed to 216 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,560 been abducted from the scene and taken aboard a craft. 217 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,520 Once inside the craft, the woman encountered extraterrestrial beings. 218 00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:13,740 They led her to a large vat containing dark liquid with body parts floating in 219 00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:14,740 it. 220 00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:21,480 They're all floating in this round container and something puts in her head 221 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,480 telepathically. 222 00:17:23,550 --> 00:17:25,770 that it has something to do with sustenance. 223 00:17:26,530 --> 00:17:31,830 Is there something in both animal and human blood that is necessary in order 224 00:17:31,830 --> 00:17:35,490 sustain the life of extraterrestrials visiting planet Earth? 225 00:17:36,690 --> 00:17:42,770 And if so, could finding the answer provide an important key, not only in 226 00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:48,330 understanding of alien life, but in our search for a means of survival on other 227 00:17:48,330 --> 00:17:54,690 worlds? As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, The answer 228 00:17:54,690 --> 00:18:01,310 found by examining the strange connection between human blood and 229 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:08,450 Mount Olympus, Greece. 230 00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:13,230 For the ancient Greeks, this was the home of the gods. 231 00:18:13,950 --> 00:18:18,590 Gods that were very much like humans, except that they could live forever, 232 00:18:18,790 --> 00:18:22,310 courtesy of a mysterious drink called... 233 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:28,780 Ambrosia was literally the food of immortality. In the ancient world, the 234 00:18:28,780 --> 00:18:33,560 ate, the gods drank, and this is what kept them divine. This is what kept them 235 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,280 alive forever, which is one of the crucial differences between the divine 236 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,280 the human. 237 00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:44,400 While ambrosia was reserved for the gods, the ancient Greek texts also 238 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,880 stories of this divine food being shared with select humans and extending their 239 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,360 lifespans indefinitely. 240 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:59,180 We might imagine that it is some sort of liquid or paste 241 00:18:59,180 --> 00:19:03,180 or ointment that has special properties. 242 00:19:04,860 --> 00:19:09,620 By drinking it, you are extending your life. 243 00:19:09,980 --> 00:19:16,740 And if you drank this ambrosia over many, many years, you could have a 244 00:19:16,740 --> 00:19:19,200 sense of immortality in a way. 245 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,340 Substances like ambrosia, can be found in numerous ancient traditions. 246 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,440 In China, there were stories of the peaches of immortality. 247 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,260 The Norse spoke of ethune's apples. 248 00:19:32,620 --> 00:19:37,520 But as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the ubiquity of 249 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,920 story also provides further evidence that ancient peoples came into contact 250 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,940 the same otherworldly beings. 251 00:19:46,060 --> 00:19:50,640 Ancient astronaut theorists look at the gods as extraterrestrial beings, as 252 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,640 aliens. 253 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,080 If you're talking about beings that are traveling the stars for generations, 254 00:19:57,620 --> 00:20:02,680 they're going to need some kind of sustenance that will sustain them during 255 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,460 these voyages. And that appears to be what ambrosia was. 256 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:13,580 Could it be that the ancient stories about ambrosia and similar elixirs were 257 00:20:13,580 --> 00:20:18,120 actually descriptions of a substance that extraterrestrials used to 258 00:20:18,120 --> 00:20:19,980 long voyages through space? 259 00:20:20,540 --> 00:20:26,500 And if so, Was it seen as a source of immortality, not only because of its 260 00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:32,080 ability to prolong life, but also because it sustained alien travelers 261 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,820 thousands of years in space? 262 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:39,640 Perhaps further clues to the answers can be found by examining the many accounts 263 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:44,340 of ancient people living far longer than the average life expectancy today. 264 00:20:46,030 --> 00:20:49,970 The biblical lifespans are extraordinary. So the Bible says that 265 00:20:49,970 --> 00:20:56,330 930 years, that Noah lived for 950 years, that Methuselah lived for 969 266 00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:57,330 years. 267 00:20:58,550 --> 00:21:03,130 It seems like an odd concept, but you have many records of, not just in the 268 00:21:03,130 --> 00:21:06,650 Bible, but all throughout history, all these other cultures also talk about 269 00:21:06,650 --> 00:21:11,650 this. You know, the Sumerian kings list, Chinese masters living to 300 years old 270 00:21:11,650 --> 00:21:12,990 into the 1700s. 271 00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:18,960 Even ancient Philippine records talk about these kings that lived long lives. 272 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,820 It's found all around the world. 273 00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:28,780 Some of the stories that we hear about this drink ambrosia connect to these 274 00:21:28,780 --> 00:21:30,900 journeys to the celestial realm. 275 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:38,120 In fact, Enoch actually describes that before he was able to go up to the 276 00:21:38,120 --> 00:21:43,920 heavens, He is actually anointed, and he says it smelled like ambrosia. 277 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,520 But the question is, was he really anointed? 278 00:21:48,060 --> 00:21:54,700 What if ambrosia was something that you had to take in in order to prepare for a 279 00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:58,300 journey to outer space, and it gave you immortality? 280 00:22:00,940 --> 00:22:06,220 If ambrosia was an alien substance that could both extend life and facilitate 281 00:22:06,220 --> 00:22:08,890 space travel, Just what was it? 282 00:22:09,390 --> 00:22:12,910 Something that could only be found or concocted on alien worlds? 283 00:22:13,430 --> 00:22:18,290 Or something that could be found in abundance right here on Earth? 284 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,320 obtains approval to begin clinical trials on an experimental treatment to 285 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,320 reverse aging. 286 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:47,820 Medical researchers inject older test subjects with blood plasma from young 287 00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:52,420 donors in an effort to improve their health and extend their lifespan. 288 00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:59,020 Hundreds of patients sign up to participate, paying $8 ,000 for each 289 00:22:59,020 --> 00:23:00,420 blood plasma they receive. 290 00:23:05,550 --> 00:23:11,550 Whether it's true or not is that by infusing yourself with the blood of 291 00:23:11,550 --> 00:23:17,550 people, you will gain a longer life because you won't have, as the 292 00:23:17,550 --> 00:23:20,590 used to say, tired blood or old blood. 293 00:23:20,790 --> 00:23:24,310 You're literally giving yourself a new lease on life. 294 00:23:34,190 --> 00:23:40,650 that blood can impart immortality is widespread, found in legends of vampires 295 00:23:40,650 --> 00:23:44,130 and even historical accounts of human blood sacrifice. 296 00:23:45,570 --> 00:23:51,410 Is it possible that blood, and particularly human blood, has life 297 00:23:51,410 --> 00:23:54,370 properties far beyond our current understanding? 298 00:23:55,230 --> 00:24:00,610 When it comes to the issue of extraterrestrials and blood, there's one 299 00:24:00,890 --> 00:24:03,390 the idea that the aliens may actually 300 00:24:04,190 --> 00:24:05,190 take blood. 301 00:24:05,510 --> 00:24:08,810 Now, that's not completely out of the question. 302 00:24:09,130 --> 00:24:15,050 The main reason being, it contains iron, proteins, nutrients. 303 00:24:15,390 --> 00:24:21,910 In other words, it'd be the classic important item for aliens 304 00:24:21,910 --> 00:24:23,070 to dine upon. 305 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:30,140 But we cannot do that without causing extreme damage, possibly even death, to 306 00:24:30,140 --> 00:24:36,980 ourselves. That sort of suggests possibly also that blood is an item of 307 00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:38,940 extraterrestrials and not of us. 308 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,100 Does human blood possess life -sustaining properties far beyond its 309 00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:46,400 inside the body? 310 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,980 And if so, could the substance known as ambrosia be flowing through the veins? 311 00:24:52,300 --> 00:24:53,300 of every human? 312 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,900 As far as many ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the answer is 313 00:25:00,220 --> 00:25:06,140 And they suggest that this profound notion was first conveyed to humankind 314 00:25:06,140 --> 00:25:10,860 than 2 ,000 years ago by a man named Jesus. 315 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,560 Vatican City 2019 316 00:25:22,540 --> 00:25:27,340 Thousands of pilgrims bow their heads as Pope Francis performs the liturgy of 317 00:25:27,340 --> 00:25:31,040 the Eucharist and consecrates the offering of bread and wine. 318 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:37,880 According to church historians, the ceremony's roots lie in the Last Supper 319 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:43,000 Jesus shared with his disciples shortly before he sacrificed his life on the 320 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,000 cross. 321 00:25:46,900 --> 00:25:51,460 As he passed the bread, Jesus said, Take this and eat it. It is my body. 322 00:25:53,070 --> 00:25:57,410 And as he passed the wine, he said, drink this, it is the blood of the 323 00:25:57,990 --> 00:26:04,210 And out of that moment, at a meal, grew a great ritual, a ceremony, a sacrament 324 00:26:04,210 --> 00:26:08,070 that is repeated to this day around the world by millions of people. 325 00:26:08,650 --> 00:26:14,030 In the Roman Catholic tradition, during the Mass, the priest is empowered by the 326 00:26:14,030 --> 00:26:18,670 prayers that energize the bread and the wine such that they become transformed 327 00:26:18,670 --> 00:26:21,050 or transubstantiated. 328 00:26:21,470 --> 00:26:25,030 into the living presence of the body and the blood of Christ. 329 00:26:27,950 --> 00:26:31,970 Transubstantiation is one of the Catholic Church's most exalted 330 00:26:33,770 --> 00:26:39,130 Catholics are encouraged to believe that through this miracle, somehow, these 331 00:26:39,130 --> 00:26:44,970 ordinary wafers and ordinary wine become the blood and body of Jesus. 332 00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:50,570 Could this rite of turning bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus, 333 00:26:51,020 --> 00:26:53,260 really have otherworldly origins? 334 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,340 Isn't it interesting that we have numerous traditions around the globe 335 00:26:59,340 --> 00:27:03,460 us that blood is the substance reserved for the gods? 336 00:27:03,700 --> 00:27:08,140 Now we have to ask, is there a connection between the ritual of the 337 00:27:08,140 --> 00:27:11,700 mass and extraterrestrials? 338 00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:19,890 Maybe it's possible by imbibing certain bloods. the extraterrestrials are 339 00:27:19,890 --> 00:27:24,750 actually able to extend their lifespans to incredible degrees. 340 00:27:26,050 --> 00:27:31,570 So, when Jesus talked about the blood of the covenant, just maybe Jesus was 341 00:27:31,570 --> 00:27:37,910 talking in a symbolic fashion when he talked about how wine and bread sustains 342 00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:42,130 us, but something very, very different sustained him. 343 00:27:42,470 --> 00:27:45,390 That the wine that sustains us... 344 00:27:45,820 --> 00:27:48,860 is the parallel of the blood for Jesus. 345 00:27:50,360 --> 00:27:55,580 If alien beings have been coming to Earth for thousands of years, is it 346 00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:59,840 that they have evolved to a point where they do not physically consume food in 347 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,540 the way that humans do, but are able to draw sustenance from certain energetic 348 00:28:04,540 --> 00:28:06,420 substances, like blood? 349 00:28:07,140 --> 00:28:12,640 And does the ritual of communion provide a clue as to how humankind must evolve 350 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,270 in order to become like the god. 351 00:28:16,550 --> 00:28:20,930 When we think of food, we immediately have that image of a hamburger, french 352 00:28:20,930 --> 00:28:22,530 fries, and there you are munching away. 353 00:28:23,630 --> 00:28:25,250 But I'm a physicist. 354 00:28:25,570 --> 00:28:28,350 We realize that the essence of food is energy. 355 00:28:28,750 --> 00:28:34,030 And energy can exist in many, many forms. So think of widening your 356 00:28:34,030 --> 00:28:38,290 possibilities. Anytime there's a source of energy, there's a possibility of 357 00:28:38,290 --> 00:28:41,290 using it for food for an alien species. 358 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:47,760 Myself, I think these things are really possible and maybe there is something 359 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,740 there. But at the same time, the story of the Eucharist being created in the 360 00:28:52,740 --> 00:28:56,420 upper room is one of the most profound and beautiful stories I know. 361 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,560 And I prefer to think of it that way, personally. 362 00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:05,180 For centuries, theologists have debated the origin and meaning of the Eucharist. 363 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,100 But it is not an entirely unique ritual. 364 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,980 And ancient astronaut theorists suggest... 365 00:29:11,290 --> 00:29:16,110 that a similar ceremony established in ancient India provides further clues as 366 00:29:16,110 --> 00:29:18,370 to the nature of alien sustenance. 367 00:29:19,230 --> 00:29:24,070 Soma is a huge thing in the early Indian traditions, the big data, the earliest 368 00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:25,070 Hindu texts. 369 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,320 Talk about this. So Soma is this drink that gives the people who consume it, 370 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:34,960 know, the powers of this God or the thoughts of this God, the abilities 371 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,060 Soma was brought to humans by Agni, the fire god. The same story you have with 372 00:29:40,060 --> 00:29:44,880 the holy wine or the Eucharist. And it's like somehow we are being helped by 373 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,300 these beings through these different substances. 374 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,980 I find that really fascinating. 375 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:54,940 They have a saying in the Rig Vita that if you drink Soma, you see God and you 376 00:29:54,940 --> 00:30:00,760 connect. But they also said it promoted immortality and longevity as well. 377 00:30:02,620 --> 00:30:09,120 Ancient people are drinking the special drink of Soma, and they're drinking the 378 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:15,700 blood of the gods. And so we look too at the Catholic concept of 379 00:30:15,700 --> 00:30:21,220 transubstantiation, where the body and the blood of Christ. 380 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:28,920 are then in these wafers and wine that we drink. And you have to wonder if 381 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:35,220 even that is an old relic of the early Soma 382 00:30:35,220 --> 00:30:36,220 rituals. 383 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,880 Is there an extraterrestrial inspiration behind both the rites of communion and 384 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,400 the ancient rites of Soma? 385 00:30:45,260 --> 00:30:48,800 Were they intended to teach us vital lessons about longevity? 386 00:30:49,530 --> 00:30:53,770 and perhaps point the way to our own future as a space -bearing people? 387 00:30:55,010 --> 00:31:00,770 And if so, might there be other stories of other food substances humans were 388 00:31:00,770 --> 00:31:05,150 given to eat or drink that point to an alien agenda for mankind? 389 00:31:18,030 --> 00:31:22,390 During an international book tour for Communion, his best -selling account of 390 00:31:22,390 --> 00:31:27,110 his own alien abduction, author Whitley Streber receives a visit at his hotel 391 00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:29,150 room from a mysterious being. 392 00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:36,770 I had a 45 -minute conversation with him. Then he gave me a glass of liquid 393 00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:37,770 drink. 394 00:31:40,130 --> 00:31:47,070 It was white, and I didn't want to drink it, but he insisted that I do it. 395 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,060 Somehow or another, I did it. 396 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,300 It was extremely bitter. 397 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,500 And the next thing I knew, I was waking up in the morning. 398 00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:58,120 I thought maybe it's some kind of alien potion. 399 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:05,240 But recently I did some more research on it, and I found that it's in the past 400 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,940 called the milk of Nepenthe. 401 00:32:08,540 --> 00:32:12,300 It was first mentioned in the poet Homer's writings. 402 00:32:13,770 --> 00:32:18,270 Then it was known throughout the ancient world, no one was really sure what it 403 00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:22,670 is, but the symptoms described are just like what I experienced. 404 00:32:23,930 --> 00:32:28,190 Nepenthe is something that makes people forget, as it did me. 405 00:32:29,650 --> 00:32:35,390 Homer, the legendary 8th century B .C. Greek poet, mentions Nepenthe in his 406 00:32:35,390 --> 00:32:36,870 poem, The Odyssey. 407 00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:42,830 Plato writes about a similar substance in his book 10 of the Republic. 408 00:32:44,190 --> 00:32:48,810 The drink was said to help humans fall into profound amnesia and forget the 409 00:32:48,810 --> 00:32:53,670 trauma of their encounters with the gods, encounters that today we might 410 00:32:53,670 --> 00:32:54,990 alien abduction. 411 00:32:58,370 --> 00:33:03,390 It was also given to people who had gone to Mount Olympus and been with the gods 412 00:33:03,390 --> 00:33:07,870 on their way down so that they would forget what they had seen. 413 00:33:08,670 --> 00:33:11,530 and they would not want to commit suicide. 414 00:33:13,510 --> 00:33:19,190 In Greek mythology, every time it was given to someone, they would forget 415 00:33:19,190 --> 00:33:22,010 anything that happened to them in the last 48 hours. 416 00:33:22,990 --> 00:33:29,970 Now what's interesting is that modern -day abductees talk about the same 417 00:33:31,210 --> 00:33:37,860 So my question is, Is it possible that extraterrestrials are giving substances 418 00:33:37,860 --> 00:33:41,680 to people in order to forget what has happened to them? 419 00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:47,000 If extraterrestrials have been using some type of drink to cloud the memories 420 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,600 humans they come into contact with, what is the purpose? 421 00:33:51,660 --> 00:33:54,920 Is it simply to spare them the trauma of an alien encounter? 422 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,500 Or could it be to hide the fact that they are extracting blood? 423 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,680 Some ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer can be found by examining 424 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,500 the most important moment of extraterrestrial intervention in human 425 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,340 New York City, 1976. 426 00:34:16,900 --> 00:34:22,719 After spending 30 years deciphering the Sumerian language, researcher Zechariah 427 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,080 Sitchin publishes his book, The Twelfth Planet. 428 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:28,900 In it, he proposes... 429 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,480 that a race of extraterrestrials known as the Anunnaki genetically modified 430 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,159 ancient primates in the distant past, turning them into modern humans. 431 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,719 In his books, Zechariah Sitchin dealt at length with the Sumerian creation 432 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,560 stories, the Atrahasis and others that tell of these beings, the Anunnaki, 433 00:34:48,659 --> 00:34:50,900 putting their image on humanity. 434 00:34:53,130 --> 00:34:58,470 that they genetically altered a proto -human to create a new race of beings, 435 00:34:58,690 --> 00:34:59,690 Homo sapiens. 436 00:35:01,010 --> 00:35:05,850 According to Sitchin's translation of the Sumerian cuneiform writings, the 437 00:35:05,850 --> 00:35:11,830 Anunnaki produced the first successful Homo sapiens around 250 ,000 B .C. 438 00:35:13,390 --> 00:35:19,720 While scholars in the 1970s dismissed Sitchin's theory, In the 1980s, 439 00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:25,360 anthropologists traced the mitochondrial DNA of all modern humans to a common 440 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:30,240 female ancestor living in Africa roughly 250 ,000 years ago. 441 00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:33,560 Geneticists call her mitochondrial Eve. 442 00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:41,080 We were wise, but now we're even wiser. Just like that. And geneticists to this 443 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:45,080 day cannot quite figure out, well, what was that? 444 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:49,960 that change that virtually happened overnight. 445 00:35:51,020 --> 00:35:56,640 So when you have these weird examples where stuff essentially happens 446 00:35:57,060 --> 00:36:01,580 I'm suggesting this was done due to an artificial mutation. 447 00:36:05,420 --> 00:36:10,080 Researchers following in Sitchin's footsteps have noted a largely 448 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,420 aspect of the Sumerian cylindrical seal. 449 00:36:12,860 --> 00:36:16,540 depicting the celebration of the first successful human experiment. 450 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:22,620 The scene features a figure stirring a jar and another holding a flask directed 451 00:36:22,620 --> 00:36:24,120 at their original creation. 452 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,960 Many associate the scene with the biblical account of the temptation of 453 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,960 Eve. 454 00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:38,800 Adam and Eve, before their encounter with this bright snake, this talking 455 00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:44,210 serpent, who is equated with Enki in the Sumerian tradition, this genetic 456 00:36:44,210 --> 00:36:49,290 engineer that came from another world and altered our human DNA, that before 457 00:36:49,290 --> 00:36:53,950 this event, Adam and Eve pretty much lived like primitive or a primate -type 458 00:36:53,950 --> 00:36:54,950 beings. 459 00:36:55,710 --> 00:37:00,370 Could the story of Adam and Eve's transformation be a memory of the moment 460 00:37:00,370 --> 00:37:05,250 genome was altered by an extraterrestrial race, as proposed by 461 00:37:05,630 --> 00:37:11,230 And if so, Was that alteration done by mechanical gene splicing in a laboratory 462 00:37:11,230 --> 00:37:14,750 as 21st century technology might do it today? 463 00:37:15,830 --> 00:37:21,570 Or could it have been accomplished in a far more sophisticated way by simply 464 00:37:21,570 --> 00:37:26,750 giving our ancestors some highly advanced alien substance designed to 465 00:37:26,750 --> 00:37:28,550 primates into people? 466 00:37:29,570 --> 00:37:35,110 Here's the story of Adam and Eve living blissfully in this Edenic garden. 467 00:37:35,630 --> 00:37:40,650 and just watching the sunset and having sex and not doing a whole lot and then 468 00:37:40,650 --> 00:37:45,970 suddenly this serpent being comes to them and offers them some special food 469 00:37:45,970 --> 00:37:51,350 eat and they completely change into what we would call modern people and here we 470 00:37:51,350 --> 00:37:57,710 have through the intake of food we have a fundamental change and in a sense an 471 00:37:57,710 --> 00:37:59,510 evolutionary leap 472 00:38:00,230 --> 00:38:06,870 From primitive humans to more modern humans who are more aware of themselves 473 00:38:06,870 --> 00:38:07,870 their surroundings. 474 00:38:08,950 --> 00:38:14,630 Did extraterrestrials alter life on Earth to create sentient beings and then 475 00:38:14,630 --> 00:38:19,390 amnesia -inducing substances in order to keep them from knowing the facts behind 476 00:38:19,390 --> 00:38:20,730 their alien origins? 477 00:38:21,910 --> 00:38:24,430 Ancient astronaut theorist, Sayaz. 478 00:38:24,990 --> 00:38:29,570 and suggests that as humans begin to take their next evolutionary step into 479 00:38:29,570 --> 00:38:33,930 space, the veil of ignorance will soon be removed. 480 00:38:41,610 --> 00:38:44,410 220 miles above the Earth. 481 00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:49,930 Researchers on the International Space Station are currently testing an 482 00:38:49,930 --> 00:38:51,910 hydroponic system to make food. 483 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:58,700 Utilizing artificial light and a water -based nutrient solution, the microalgae 484 00:38:58,700 --> 00:39:02,680 contained within the unit takes in carbon dioxide breathed out by the 485 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:03,680 astronauts. 486 00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:10,600 The process allows the microalgae to quickly multiply and produces a 487 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,940 supply of nourishment on board the craft. 488 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,420 We breathe in oxygen and we get our carbon dioxide. 489 00:39:18,780 --> 00:39:23,200 But in a hydroponic farm, you have plants growing in liquid. 490 00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:30,740 And it takes in the waste products of human combustion and expels oxygen as a 491 00:39:30,740 --> 00:39:36,860 consequence. That would give you a self -sustaining ecosystem to maintain the 492 00:39:36,860 --> 00:39:39,840 human body. NASA is experimenting with... 493 00:39:40,690 --> 00:39:46,210 hydroponic machines that enable the astronauts to grow a kind of 494 00:39:46,210 --> 00:39:50,790 algae that is reminiscent of the manna from the Old Testament. 495 00:39:51,410 --> 00:39:54,690 Could it be that's our own manna machine? 496 00:39:56,610 --> 00:40:02,350 As manned missions to Mars are within our grasp, logistical obstacles, like 497 00:40:02,350 --> 00:40:04,870 to sustain the crew, must first be overcome. 498 00:40:06,060 --> 00:40:10,920 Could the solution be found not only by altering the substances we bring with us 499 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,840 into space, but by altering ourselves? 500 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:21,460 We can conceive of entirely new kinds of life forms based on energy. 501 00:40:21,700 --> 00:40:25,520 So food is the energy that fuels us. 502 00:40:25,850 --> 00:40:31,650 But it's a real possibility that as we start to explore outer space, we may 503 00:40:31,650 --> 00:40:37,250 to genetically modify ourselves to alter our diet so that we ingest different 504 00:40:37,250 --> 00:40:38,250 forms of energy. 505 00:40:39,050 --> 00:40:42,450 When we look back at these unusual foods of the gods, 506 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:49,000 You have to wonder if that is not a direction that we have been meant to go 507 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,940 become a space -faring race ourselves. 508 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,720 So everything has come full circle here, from ancient time and these unusual 509 00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,060 foods of the gods to what we're doing today. 510 00:41:02,540 --> 00:41:09,500 I think this entire phenomenon of aliens, of food, of mysterious drinks, 511 00:41:09,500 --> 00:41:14,360 of the most important when it comes to us engaging with them. 512 00:41:14,620 --> 00:41:19,920 And it may well be the case that that is the primary way in which we can 513 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,400 actually have some sort of communion with them. 514 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,240 As we evolved into a space -faring species... 515 00:41:27,710 --> 00:41:32,250 will the concept and function of food take on a new meaning for humanity? 516 00:41:33,550 --> 00:41:38,330 Perhaps the intriguing evidence of how aliens may have survived on Earth will 517 00:41:38,330 --> 00:41:40,710 provide a roadmap to our own future. 518 00:41:41,390 --> 00:41:46,990 It will open up new possibilities and new ways to sustain ourselves for much 519 00:41:46,990 --> 00:41:48,070 longer time spans. 520 00:41:48,670 --> 00:41:55,290 It will allow us to venture deeper into space, colonize new worlds, and create 521 00:41:55,290 --> 00:42:00,790 new versions of ourselves, as we continue to follow in the footsteps of 522 00:42:00,790 --> 00:42:01,910 alien ancestors. 48526
