For centuries, Native Americans have
kept alive some of the oldest traditions

Earth. Through oral history and sacred
sites, the story is told to

indigenous people for thousands of
years.

Their incredible history is carved into
the landscape.

This is sensational. Look at that guy
right there. They represent those gods

that came to Earth.

And their sacred rituals display a
reverence for the land and for the

from the stars.

They're the keepers of the upper world,
which means space.

We don't use the word gods. We use the
word creator.

Do the stories of America's indigenous
people reveal a long

history? of contact with other worldly
visitors.

All Native American tribes have oral
histories that people came from the

to visit them. I know they're out there.

There is a doorway in the universe.

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything we
have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Collinsville, Illinois.

15 miles east of St.

Louis.

Towering over the flat local terrain is
Monk's Mound, the remains of a massive

earthen pyramid.

Built more than 1 ,000 years ago, it was
the centerpiece of the ancient Native

American city of Cahokia.

Monk's Mound is the largest building of
the ancient North America,

north of Mexico.

It was called that because Trappist
French monks lived nearby it.

It stands 100 feet tall today. It was
probably taller in its heyday.

It comprises of about 22 million cubic
feet of dirt,

which was millions and millions of
buckets of dirt, one at a time.

Its circumference on the bottom is
larger than the Temple of the Sun, just

of Mexico City.

Monks Mount and other ancient ruins
across the Americas offer clues about

Native people once lived in vast,
thriving communities.

Yet very little is known about the
inhabitants of Cahokia and many Native

cultures, since most of their history
and traditions were passed down orally

rather than through written records.

The Native Americans traditionally use
an oral tradition.

Everything is spoken.

The oral traditions actually go back
thousands of years. It's just the way it

was, and we've maintained that tradition
even to this day.

It is unknown what the Native Americans
who inhabited Cahokia called themselves.

Anthropologists refer to them as the
Mississippians.

a name used to describe a wide variety
of native peoples that lived east of the

Mississippi in North America.

And although much about Cahokia remains
a mystery, what is known is that it

thrived centuries before Europeans ever
stepped foot in the Americas, as did

countless other cities.

Around 1050, the city swells to a
population of 15 ,000

and including the satellite communities
around it, almost 30 ,000. There were a

number of these cities all around the
eastern part of what's now the United

States.

The general picture of...

Native America before European contact
is that it's some sort of just nomadic

life, that they were living in small
bands and camps.

The truth is that there were thousands
of people living in the same place, very

much the way the Europeans were.

Across North America, vast differences
existed between the Native peoples in

terms of language, customs, and cultural
practices.

Yet many tribes shared the tradition of
worshipping a powerful being known as

the Birdman.

When excavations were performed at
Cahokia in the 20th century, this motif

found to be abundant.

The most remarkable example was
connected to the burial of a man

have been an early Cahokian ruler.

His body had been placed on an elevated
platform, covered by a bed of more than

20 ,000 marine shell disc beads,
arranged in the shape of a falcon, with

bird's head appearing beneath and beside
the man's head, and its wings and tail

beneath his arms and legs.

The Birdman of Cahokia is a burial that
was found under a mound in the center of

the city.

And it's called the Birdman because
there's this arrangement of shells that

appear to be in the shape of a bird.

And it makes sense because we know that
the Mississippians had a supernatural

being who may or may not be a god, but
he's a very powerful creature that

lives up in the sky.

We see depictions on also stone tablets.

Native people believed in the power
deity called the bird man.

There are a number of depictions in the
remains of these cultures of this

powerful creature who could fly and
could move among the different realms

was essentially the ruling god of this
reality.

Various descriptions of the Birdman can
be found from one tradition to the next.

And some also feature a similar
celestial being called the Thunderbird.

The Thunderbird in Zuni is described as
a being that came

from the sky that could create
lightning.

It could create a lot of noise.

And it was...

represented as a being with wings made
out of knives.

Now, the Thunderbird could have been a
vehicle, but way back then, the

Indians had no other reference, so they
just said, well, it is a bird.

One could argue that this is a
representation of misunderstood

could illustrate some type of a flying
craft.

Because if you don't have the
terminology for a plane, well, of course

going to call it a bird.

I mean, pilots even today call their
planes birds.

The mountain builders, I believe, were
those Indian tribes that had contact.

with the extraterrestrials, the
teachers.

The star ancestors taught the American
Indians about where they came from,

different star systems, constellations,
and how they're supposed to carry out

their rituals by referring to their star
systems, whether it be Pleiades,

whether it be the Milky Way, whether it
be the Big Beeper.

Ancestors were in the cosmos.

We don't use the word gods.

We use the word creator.

He who has no name and has all the
names, he's the eye that

oversees everybody.

The creation story, if you understand it
correctly, we are all from the cosmos.

Our ancestors were extraterrestrial.

The story is told to indigenous people
for thousands of years through

oral history and through the petroglyphs
and pictographs and the

sacred sites that continue to be part of
our native cultural tradition.

In talking about star people,

All Native American tribes have these
traditional oral histories that people

came from the stars to visit them. And
it's universal all across the United

States that these gods, as we call them
today, came to Earth and visited to

provide knowledge.

Cherokee talked about the star seeds and
the people coming from the sky.

Zoonies and the Hopis talk about the
star people coming, and the Mississippi

Mound people had the Birdman culture.

So here we have these cultures, and
their legends and lores are about star

ancestors coming down, giving them
information, showing them science and

medicine.

Native American people have been very
clear when they speak of celestial

that imparted knowledge.

And if you compare that to the ancient
astronaut theory, that's exactly what it

talks about, that the knowledge was
imparted by beings who visited us.

provide an oral history of alien
visitation among early Native American

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and
propose that while the indigenous

communities kept no written records, a
historical account of exactly what they

encountered can be found carved into the
landscape at an ancient petroglyph site

in Arizona.

In the American Southwest is a region
known as the Four Corners, where the

boundaries of Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado, and Utah meet.

Most of this region belongs to semi
-autonomous Native American nations,

including the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni,

Ute, and dozens of other Native American
peoples.

They are all thought to be descendants
of people frequently called the

Pueblo, or Anasazi.

The Anasazi are the old ones, as we like
to refer to them. We're here in the

Four Corners region for thousands of
years, and they suddenly, around 1070 A

.D., just up and disappear.

Their cities are abandoned, their
structures, everything, pottery is left.

They don't know what happened to them.

Archaeological evidence shows that
between 1275 and 1300 A .D., the Pueblo

people stopped building entirely, and
the land was left empty.

They were people that inhabited this
Four Corners region for thousands of

It's still a mystery today, and it's one
of the big mysteries in the American

Southwest.

Similar to the Mississippian tribes to
the east, the Pueblo nations also

described contact with visitors from the
stars and performed rituals to connect

with sky beings called the Kachina.

There were objects, we call them dolls,
but they were sacred objects that would

be similar to the costumes worn by the
dancers and imagined to be the

of the celestial beings.

If you look at the Kachina, there are so
many different types, different

headdresses, different feathers on them,
different ways of painting them to

distinguish them one from another. And
that tells me that there were a lot of

different types of beings that were
interacting with early natives, much

than we even think.

The Kachinas were their first teachers,
the ones that imparted the knowledge.

The Hopi are very clear in suggesting
that the Kachinas were physical beings.

The Kachina is a representation of the
actual gods that used to come

into the villages eons ago.

Some of them were warriors.

Most of them are priesthood -type
kachinas, and they come from different

in my opinion, different parts of the
universe. But they actually have certain

places on this planet that they call at
home.

Ours is west of here, and of course a
lot of other pueblos have their own

specific place.

And even to this day, some of them are
here.

The story of strange humanoid beings
assisting native peoples has been

for centuries among the Pueblo nations.

Not only is it a central part of their
oral traditions, these encounters were

significant they were carved in stone.

I believe that these visitations have
been documented in pictographs and

petroglyphs. They're not art, actually,
for art's sake.

The petroglyphs have been done this way
for basically thousands of years.

Do petroglyphs found throughout North
America tell a story of ancient

extraterrestrial contact?

In July 2021,

ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio
Tsoukalos and William Henry traveled to

Art Ranch in Winslow, Arizona.

to investigate one of North America's
most extensive collections of

Joining them is esteemed Navajo tribal
ranger, John Dover. It's so great to

you because 31 years you've been a
tribal Navajo ranger, is that correct?

Yes, I started in 1980 to 2011 and
worked

most of the reservation up there, 27
,000 square miles. Wow. This ranch

is very unique because there is so much
archaeology here.

Well, we're sure excited to be here to
get eyes on it with you. Okay, well,

let's go take a look. All right.

Rock Art Ranch's 5 ,000 acres.

are home to nearly 3 ,000 ancient
petroglyphs. And on nearly every panel

figures that the Navajo identify as star
people.

This is sensational.

Look at that guy right there. They call
that the birthing mother, right?

That's right.

Very fascinating because I'm looking at
that and immediately my mind goes around

the world. Absolutely. This is a
depiction of a mother goddess. Yep.

It's like those big, giant statues that
were found over in Europe. Right. It

also reminds me of Dogu statues of
Japan.

Yeah. And also the Wanginas. Right. Very
similar.

In the northwest Kimberley region of
Australia, ancient cave art depicts

called the Wangina, the sky heroes of
one of Australia's indigenous clans.

The stories behind the Wanjinas goes
that they descended from the sky and

knowledge and jumpstart civilization in
Australia thousands and thousands of

years ago. And the Wanjinas are
incredible because they have these

heads and these long bodies and these
arms.

It seems as if they're inside some sort
of...

a pressurized suit.

There are similar figures all around the
world. Big bulbous heads, big bodies

floating up in the sky.

In Japan, we have the same things.

In Africa, in Europe, in North and South
America.

So my suggestion is...

that the extraterrestrials that came to
Earth thousands and thousands of years

ago didn't just visit Australia.

They visited each and every continent on
Earth, and that is why we have the

similar motifs.

Look at the concentric rings up there.
That's the portal symbol. There's two of

them, and there's guys around the
portal.

Interesting, yeah.

Tell me, John,

Petroglyphs are regarded as picture
books that tell a story all at once.

That's right. And also enmeshed in all
this are religious symbols, things

that tell you something about how they
worshipped, pictures of gods.

And when you say gods, in your culture,
what does that mean?

It could be anything from somebody
coming.

to them and meeting with them and
imparting knowledge.

And in the case of the Navajo, that's
what the Yebeche represent.

In the case of the Hopis, the Kachinas
represent those gods that came to Earth

to give them knowledge.

And could one make the argument that
these may have been visitations by flesh

and blood extraterrestrials in ancient
times?

Oh, definitely.

From what we understand, there's many
different races of alien that are coming

to this world.

That's amazing. In the case of some
tribes down in southern Arizona, you

have a mountain range called the
Estrella Mountains.

In the language of the people in that
area, Estrella means stargate.

Absolutely, Estrella, star people.

Am I correct to assume that this is only
the tip of the iceberg and that there

are so many more panels like this that
the world doesn't even know about?

On the Navajo Reservation alone, there
are 300 ,000 sites that are recorded.

I mean, we're talking at least 4 ,000
BC, right? That's right.

Well, this is great, but I'm just
looking on the other side, and there is

I mean, there's more everywhere. So
let's go check out the other ones as

Sure thing.

July 2021.

Giorgio Tsoukalos and William Henry have
been granted special access to Rock Art

Ranch in Winslow, Arizona.

where Navajo tribal elder John Dover is
guiding them through the ancient

petroglyph panels.

Wow. Look at that.

I mean, look at the hollow body with the
star inside.

One hand pointing to the sky, the other
down to Earth.

And just beneath that, look at... That
is a gray alien. That triangular head.

Very strange.

That is. You have... All kinds of
different types of figures, different

representations of God. Right. I mean,
what we have to fill in with our

imagination is that these beings off the
wall, 3D, walking amongst the people.

They're interacting with these beings.

Right. We don't know if it's the same
time or could be different times.

That's mind -blowing.

I'm so intrigued by that double helix up
there, too, beside the trapezoidal

figure. Mm -hmm. I mean... As if to
indicate, because of the creature on the

left, DNA, you know, had something to do
with this. That's right.

Giorgio, when you see the guy with the
trapezoidal body, and you see the curvy

lines on the body, that always
symbolizes, like, vibration.

Okay. The Anunnaki wore cloaks that had
those kind of curvy lines all over.

Right. And so here we have a clear,
clear symbolic connection with the

on this figure.

The Anunnaki were powerful deities
worshipped more than 5 ,000 years ago by

ancient Sumerians who inhabited
Mesopotamia, an area that is now modern

Iraq.

According to the Sumerian writings, the
Anunnaki descended upon a mountain,

shining like the sun, and shared
profound wisdom with the human race.

Look at all the different types of
beings here.

And then all the way across there,
you've still got even more variety.

I mean, this is almost like a meeting
place of all these different worlds and

different beings.

So, you know, you have giants, you have
little people. And the giants and the

little people are talked about in the
other world that they came from before

they came to this world. And this is the
same with Sago Canyon up in Utah.

You have these massive, massive carvings
and petroglyphs.

So the fact that we have these virtually
identical motifs to me suggests they

were all taught by the same teachers.

And the guy here with the horns, which
could be rays, right next to the gray

alien, he's got horns or rays coming off
of his head. You see that at

Valcamonica in Italy.

Yes, you do. All kinds of different
places.

pointing to the idea that these could be
luminous or radiant beings that they're

portraying. And seeing creatures here
having, for example, three fingers, you

know, as far as I know, except for a
couple of reptiles, there aren't any

-fingered creatures, you know, and
especially nothing humanoid. So, again,

ancestors had impeccable powers of
observation.

That's all they did all day. They
observed.

And so your estimation then, too, is
that this was not a bunch of kids, you

know, on a Saturday night not knowing
what to do.

Absolutely not. These were people that
came here with a purpose.

And the purpose was to put their history
on the wall, showing where they came

from, where they were going.

John, this is incredible. And what I
love the most is...

the access i mean i've never been face
to face like this there's a lot of

nobody's allowed to go except for
archaeologists medicine men and rangers

spectacular it's one thing to see images
in a book or on online but to come face

to face with that feel the energy see it
spectacular i came away with this deep

sense that this is meant for

us to discover throughout the ages that
it was super important to the ancients

to record this information to tell us
that these beings were here they had a

hand in our evolution and they're
probably still visiting us today what i

is important in this whole thing is that
john said these are our stories of the

star people and when first nation
cultures say that someone visited

from the sky and imparted knowledge, I
think it's time that we start to listen.

Do the petroglyphs at Rock Art Ranch
provide an historical record of

extraterrestrial visitation in North
America?

And if so, why does there seem to be
such a strong connection between Native

Americans and other worldly beings?

Perhaps further clues can be found
within oral traditions that describe

beings known as the Ant -Men.

Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.

In the desolate high desert of the
American Southwest stand the ruins of

most important ceremonial site of the
ancient Pueblo people, constructed

900 A .D.

The central feature of this vast complex
is the Great Kiva.

A Kiva is basically a Native American
version of a

church. It is a circular structure.

Chaco Canyon has an absolutely giant one
that's located there.

When you enter one, you're literally
entering another world to commune with

gods from before.

In ancient Pueblo culture, every place
you went had a small kiva of some kind.

But they would get together, maybe eight
or nine different kivas, small ones,

into a larger great kiva.

And the great kivas were huge.

When the Spanish came in, in the 1600s,
they took their church and interposed it

on top of the kiva.

So everywhere in these Hopi villages, in
the Pueblo villages, that you see a

Catholic church, it's usually on the
high point of land where the kiva was

destroyed and the church was built over
the top of it.

Every kiva includes a feature called a
sipapu.

In some kivas, the sipapu is a small
hole in the subterranean wall.

In kivas that are enclosed, it is often
represented by a hole in the roof.

In both cases, it is the most important
part of the structure, symbolizing the

entrance to a subterranean world.

All of the pueblos share a story in
which humankind began under the

earth, and we slowly over generations
crawled up and out of a hole called

Cipapu.

And the kivas have this little hole in
it symbolizing that.

The descendants of the ancestral Pueblo
share the belief that Earth was

populated three separate times before
the era of modern humans, with each

previous age ending in a devastating
cataclysm.

The Pueblo Indians believed that there
in fact were three worlds or epochs

before Earth, and they were all
destroyed.

First by fire, the second by ice, and
the third by water.

In each instance, they tell us that it
was due to mistreatment of the earth,

so that tells us that there could have
been previous examples of humanity that

were destroyed who knows how long ago.

We're living now in the fourth world.

And the Zunis and Hopis believe our
fourth world will also end in a

Their prophecy says that there would be
a gourd of ashes that would come from

the sky. That's interpreted as nuclear
warfare.

The Hopi suggest that there were
previous worlds or civilizations before.

And this is interesting because...

There are other cultures, ancient
cultures around the world, who speak of

similar stories.

The Kabbalah teaches that there were
previous advanced human civilizations, a

number of them.

The Hindus teach about the yugas, where
civilization advances to a very high

place and then descends and then
reascends.

It too is divided into four different
ages.

So all of these traditions correspond
directly with what the Native American

tradition is teaching.

Could the Native American tradition
describing previous ages of humankind be

true?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and
suggest that these stories also contain

evidence of extraterrestrial
intervention.

The Hopis of northern Arizona have a
very curious myth of surviving the

third of the cataclysm by going
underground and living with what they

ant men.

The stories the Hopi tell us that the
ant people rescued them from cataclysm

taking them underground, literally, and
helping the Hopi to survive underground.

And then once it was safe to return to
the surface of the earth, The Hopi were

taken up through the Sapapu by the ant
people and repopulated the Earth.

But in all instances, the ant people are
described as having a special

relationship with the Hopi and also of
having a connection with the star

Despite their name, ant men are
described not as insects, but rather as

humanoid figures.

The reason they call these creatures ant
men is that they lived under the Earth.

And they would emerge much like ants
crawling out of a hive. So they called

ant men. But what they were were
extraterrestrials. They were entering

through the portal.

The ant men were underground dwellers
who had a high technology and looked

similar, apparently, to what we would
call gray aliens.

So this is something of a mystery of who
these ant men were.

Many Hopis and the Zunis have similar
belief that, yes, the Antmen were

extraterrestrials.

There were beings that are of the
extraterrestrial origin that were part

whole emergence mythology, the entrance
to the fourth world.

Could it be that the story of the Antmen
is a genuine account of

extraterrestrials helping humanity
survive a global cataclysm.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and
suggest further clues can be found by

comparing the Native American traditions
to accounts of a legendary lost

continent called Atlantis.

In his famous dialogues, Timaeus and
Critias, the Greek philosopher Plato

about a lost continent that existed 9
,000 years before his time and was home

a highly advanced civilization.

Called Atlantis, it was founded by the
Greek god Poseidon and the inhabitants

possessed sophisticated technology.

But Atlantis was ultimately destroyed by
a terrible cataclysm.

And according to some researchers, the
story of its destruction is strikingly

similar to Native American traditions
detailing the end of the third world.

The Hopi and other Pueblo Indians tell
us that their devastating cataclysm was

due to human greed and wandering away
from the spiritual truths of our

What's interesting about this is that
this idea is echoed in Plato's story of

the destruction of Atlantis.

The Atlanteans were also created by
gods.

As soon as humanity wandered off into
materialism, that's when Atlantis was

destroyed by water.

A perfect correspondence with what the
Hopi said happened at the end of the

third world.

Could there be a connection between the
ancient Greek tale of Atlantis and

Native American origin stories?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
Another story told by early Native

bears striking similarities to Atlantis,
the legend of the lost city of Aflan,

which appears in the traditions of the
Aztecs and numerous Native American

groups throughout the Southwest.

It considers the birthplace of
civilization based on the Mexica codices

and the oral history.

There's debate among scholars as to
exactly what Aslan looked like.

And we know that the Aztecs say that
their capital of Tenochtitlan

was made in the image of Aslan.

And from that capital, we get a
backwards projection that their origin

an island surrounded by water.

They actually built Tenochtitlan up into
the lake and put causeways out so that

it looks very much like Atlantis.

According to the Aztecs, the god
Huitzilopochtli was the founder of

Tenochtitlan.

which, as far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned, provides yet

intriguing connection to Plato's
description of Atlantis.

Tenochtitlan was a place made
artificially, compared to Atlantis.

In both cases, a god was the ruler of
it.

In Atlantis, we have Poseidon. Now,
Poseidon was an extraterrestrial.

Not everyone should have access to
Atlantis.

The same thing in Aztlan or
Tenochtitlan.

They wanted to be separated.

They had a certain technology there,
which was a hidden technology, and it

not for the general public.

Say the same thing.

The fact that we have stories that are
not just similar but identical leads me

to think that perhaps...

These ancient cultures were visited by
the same extraterrestrials.

While mainstream academics consider the
stories of these lost civilizations and

their destruction to be mythological,
the recent discovery of vast sunken

landmasses such as Doggerland, located
just east of the British Isles in 2012,

and Zealandia, found near New Zealand in
2017,

may offer proof that a catastrophic
water event did, in fact, change the

the Earth.

So here we have authentic legends of
lost lands that were destroyed in

cataclysms. Mainstream historians, you
know, still pretty much reject this,

that it's all myths.

But it would seem, really, that all
kinds of civilizations could have come

gone on our planet.

known submerged cities in the
Mediterranean.

There's just so much on our planet that
we have yet to find out.

In the Native American indigenous
teaching, there are cycles of

rebirth. The interesting part is that
this is parallel to other great world

teachings.

In the story of Noah, the sons of God
came down to Earth, and they were

the humans evil ways, and God decided to
intervene.

brought this great flood.

In the story of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian
legend, the council of gods brought the

flood.

The Inca god Viracocha created the great
flood.

So all of these traditions correspond
directly with the Hopi four worlds

tradition about previous civilizations
destroyed by the gods. The story is

always the same.

This speaks to the idea of
extraterrestrial intervention in human

I believe there are ancient
civilizations that some people refuse to

about. But ancient civilizations are
coming to surface because the time has

to tell the truth about human origin.

Could it be that Native American stories
of star people?

and have lost civilizations, so closely
resembles other ancient traditions from

around the globe because they all
encountered the same otherworldly

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and
suggest the Native Americans' knowledge

of star people comes not only from the
distant past, but from the

extraterrestrial activity that occurs
over native lands even today.

Corn Mountain, New Mexico.

According to Zuni elder Clifford Mahudi,
above this deep mesa on the Zuni

reservation, strange lights are seen in
the sky nearly every night.

The UFO activity here is very, very
prevalent because of

the religious system that we practice
every day.

So all around the whole Zuni
reservation, you can look up in the sky

up there.

And they're not stars.

They're not planets.

There's a lot of our people that here in
Zuni have seen them.

When you talk to many Native Americans,
they'll tell you that UFO sightings are

common on their native lands.

And you have to ask, why is that?

Is it because they have had these
traditions of the star people and the

ancestors? Maybe places like the Zuni
territory and Hopi mesas have been

for thousands of years.

Today, more UFO incidents are being
reported and captured on camera than

before. But while this recent activity
has captured the public's imagination

inspired sensational headlines,

For many Native Americans, it is nothing
out of the ordinary.

In my time working as a Navajo ranger,
we had incidences

of UFOs coming and going all the time.

When we talk to people, they tell us, oh
yeah, they're here all the time. So

they just...

Accept it. And as such, with the
knowledge that I have and the

had, I know they're out there. I've seen
them numerous, numerous times.

And it's just a fact of life.

We must reestablish the connection
between our star ancestors by educating

and creating an awareness among the
humans on Earth.

We have to establish an urgency
protecting the sacred sites and telling

story what they mean.

This is the history of the world. We are
star beings.

As far as being connected with the star
elders, they gave us this knowledge and

ours is a direct relationship with the
entities throughout the universe.

as described in the ancient sacred
traditions, still be happening in Native

American communities today?

And if so, might it be the beginning of
the next Earth cycle and a profound new

chapter in the human story?

Perhaps as we learn the truth about the
mysterious objects in the sky, we will

discover that the star ancestors are not
merely ancient figures carved on rocks.

but an extraterrestrial present that has
been guiding us all along.
