Prehistoric rock art depicting
astronauts.

Oh, look at that.

It's a spaceman.

Spaceman, exactly. Look at the helmet.

An ancient temple covered in
otherworldly writings.

It's all here in this sanctuary.

The whole story of humanity's place in
the stars.

Incredible petroglyphs of mysterious
flying objects.

This one here looks like a UFO.

For more than a decade, Ancient Aliens
has examined the oldest and most

mysterious carvings on Earth, up close
and in person.

Now we take a look back at some of the
most extraordinary glyphs.

Glyphs that, according to ancient
astronaut theorists, tell a worldwide

alien visitation.

On Ancient Aliens, we have traveled
across the world examining some of the

mysterious stone carvings, often
referred to as glyphs. Our ancestors

countless hours carving images and
symbols as a record of what they thought

the most important pieces of their
history.

Many glyphs depict strange humanoid
figures and tell stories of visitors

down from the sky.

William Henry got to see some of these
incredible glyphs up close in the

mountains of northern Italy.

Valcamonica, Italy, June 13, 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist William Henry
has traveled to this UNESCO World

Heritage Site to investigate what he
believes could be forensic evidence that

the early civilizations of this region
came into contact with

Hi, I'm William. Hi, I'm Luca. Nice to
meet you. Joining him is Luca Giarelli,

the head of the Valcamonica Historical
and Anthropological Society.

Luca has spent years studying this
mysterious region of northern Italy and

to show William the rock carvings for
which this alpine valley is famous.

This place is massive.

Yeah, it's very big and deep.

Rockhart covers all that area.

Are you ready for a hike? I'm ready.
Let's go. Let's go.

I'm here at Valcamonica because it is a
treasure trove of images from the

ancient world that have been well
documented and studied by scholars.

They don't agree on the meaning of the
images, but some of them are very open

-minded to the ancient astronaut theory.

This is one of the rockhart hikes here
in Valcamonica.

Footprint. Footprint there.

Wow.

You can see here.

Look like deer.

We have a warrior.

Look at that.

Incredible.

Thousands and thousands of figures on
the rock.

Here we are. Wow. What we have here? We
have this one. A figure.

Oh, look at that.

It's big, man.

Faith man, exactly. Look at the helmet.

Look at the helmet.

Right. It's like he's glowing.

Yeah.

And the communion rose.

The communion rose.

Wow.

19 communion roses.

Archaeologists call this mysterious
symbol the communion rose because of its

flower -like shape, while its exact
meaning is lost to history.

Some believe it to be a religious symbol
or a representation of the movement of

the stars.

But ancient astronaut theorists suggest
it might also depict something else, the

vessel that brought these helmeted
figures to Valcamonica.

Look at that. That looks like a
spaceship. It's like you'd look up in

and you would see this kind of twirling,
spinning ship in the sky.

It seems to me, just looking at it,
they're trying to talk about beings

from other worlds, maybe to this place.
It's a petition.

Tell me about that five -pointed star.

We have a lot of five -point stars here
on this rock, but we don't know what

they mean when they did this particular
geometric shape.

Sometimes the stars mean energy, like
energy from the stars would come to this

place, where star beings would come to
this place.

Yeah, it could be an interpretation.

We have a lot of mystery about the
meaning of the engraving here in

We have a different motivation.

religious, mythological, and also
describing events.

Okay. So this is like a newspaper then.
It says this was in the sky above us at

some point and this spaceman came down
and maybe met the communion people.

It could be.

According to the ancient stories, the
city of Turin, just 155 miles from

Valcamonica, was founded by a character
from Greek mythology called Phaeton, who

came to Earth from the stars.

Legend states that Turin was founded by
the god Phaeton, who is a son of the sun

god Helios. And in the myth of Phaeton,
we learn the story of how he descended

to Earth in a fiery chariot, perhaps
crashing into Mount Nusini.

This also led to something fortuitous
because he brought gifts to this place.

had great skills, was a metallurgist,
and taught this to the local people.

When we look at myths such as the myth
of Phaeton, here is really the story of

UFO landing on a mountain and
interacting with the locals.

Given the connection with the spacemen,
that are etched into the rock, that we

have to be open to the possibility that
what the ancient artist is trying to

portray is something that he actually
saw in the sky, something coming out of

the heavens.

Is there a connection between the stone
carvings found at Valcamonica and the

story of Phaeton's descent from the sky?

And do other clues exist here that point
to ancient alien contact?

Were there any other cultures that were
connected with the valley? We found some

engravings that represent gods of Celtic
religion.

What sort of engravings?

You know, Cernunnos?

Oh, the horned god. Yeah. Yeah, the
horned god.

And we find the same figure here in
Valcamonica.

That means the Celts were here.

Yeah, they were the connection.

So, is this the only location where we
see the spaceman?

No, we have two locations. This is one,
but we can find another astronaut out of

the path.

Even deeper into the woods? Yeah. We can
go there.

I'd love to go. Let's go.

Luca guides William up a steep portion
of the valley for a rare look at another

carving hidden from public view.

Be careful.

All right. Thanks.

Whoa, here we are. Take a look where we
are. Wow.

We're right on the edge of a cliff here.

We have less than 100 people in the last
10 years that came here.

Did you see them?

Wait a minute. That's one of them, isn't
it, right there? Yeah. How cool. A

couple of space maps.

Wow.

You can see here the helmet with the
race like the other one.

Yeah, these are just like the other
guys.

Yeah, it's very similar, but...

They are bigger.

The detail is amazing. Yeah.

It's like a mirror.

One in front of the other. Same
position, same helmet.

There's clearly some kind of an exchange
that's happening here.

It's like they're making a photograph of
what happened at this place. They're

trying to say, at this spot, this is
what we saw here.

We don't know, but it's very strange
because it's hidden location, deep

engraving. are not meant to be seen by
other people.

Of all places to find a rock like this,
this is a very secretive, almost

initiatory place where select people
would be brought here to be told this

about the extraterrestrials. Yeah, maybe
it's the hidden message for us.

Do the so -called spacemen of
Valcamonica commemorate an

visitation? as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest.

Perhaps further clues can be found by
examining an Egyptian temple covered in

hieroglyphs that tell the story of the
creation of humankind.

Of all the mysterious glyphs we've
examined on ancient aliens, some of the

astounding can be found in Egypt, where
they're known as hieroglyphs.

One of the most extensive collections of
hieroglyphs is at the Temple of Edfu.

And in 2018, Rami Rahmani gave us a rare
opportunity to see them for ourselves.

Egyptologist Rami Rahmani has invited
author and

researcher Andrew Collins to join him on
a visit to one of the most impressive

and best preserved shrines in Egypt, the
Temple of Edfu, located on the west

bank of the Nile, 465 miles south of
Cairo.

Look at this temple.

This is like my most favorite facade in
all of the temples of ancient Egypt.

According to mainstream archaeologists,
Edfu is believed to have been built

sometime between 237 and 57 BC.

It is dedicated to the falcon -headed
god Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis.

This temple was one of the last temples
that was ever built in ancient Egypt

during the Roman times.

When they built that temple, they were
like, we want to preserve the stories,

let's gather all the mythology of
ancient Egypt and try to put it in one

It took 150 years to make this happen.

And then finally, we have the book of
ancient Egyptian mythology. It's right

front of us on all these walls.

Every wall is absolutely covered in
hieroglyphs and images, not only of

the foundation of ancient Egypt and the
first temple, but also how the world

came into being, how Egypt came into
being, how the universe was essentially

founded in the first place.

I mean, there's just so much here.

The most sacred part of Edfu is its
inner sanctum, featuring a 12 -foot tall

granite stone.

This is it, right here.

This is how it all began.

Every symbol, every text, every little
drawing in here represents the most

sacred thing for ancient Egyptians.

The question that humans now still ask
themselves, how did it all begin?

what created us, but every religion
talks about it. Scientists try to figure

out. Ancient Egyptians had an answer,
and it was right there.

Right on top of this is the Pyramidian.
That Pyramidian is the primeval mound

that appeared in the middle of the
marches where all the gods came and

for the first time to start creating
humanity. This is the beginning of

humanity.

And the Pyramidion is almost like a
miniature of what we see at Giza with

Great Pyramid, which is so fascinating
because what we have here is a focus of

all of these chapels finishing with this
incredible structure pointing towards

the stars.

It's actually pointing towards the
origins of the gods themselves.

There's another piece of evidence here
that you might like. This.

is the boat, or a symbol of the boat
that they believed the gods came on to

first primeval stone, the first primeval
mound. The gods would have arrived on

this ship.

So it's all here in this sanctuary, the
whole story of humanity's beginning, you

know, its place in the stars and how it
arrived here in the first place. This,

to me, strongly suggests that they were
aware.

that our origins are found amongst the
stars.

Or could it just simply be humans trying
to make religions explain what science

can't explain?

But I don't think it's about religion.

This is about cosmology, an ancient
cosmology that we're now beginning to

understand for the first time within
science. We can now essentially say that

the idea that life came from the stars
is almost certainly a reality, whether

came here.

or on a meteorite or whatever.

Somehow the ancient Egyptians knew this.

Are the ancient hieroglyphs carefully
inscribed on the granite stone at the

Temple of Edfu merely the fanciful
notions of ancient Egyptian priests?

Or could they be based on actual
historical events?

Perhaps the answers can be found by
examining an ancient glyph that can only

seen.

On ancient aliens, we have traveled
around the world investigating

glyphs that for me prove we are not
alone in the universe.

Some of the most dramatic examples of
this are geoglyphs, enormous symbols

have been carved into the earth and can
only be seen from the sky.

In 2018,

David Childress got a bird's eye view of
one of the most amazing geoglyphs we've

ever examined.

Blight, California.

Located in the desert just west of the
Arizona border, an estimated 300

figures can be seen etched in the arid
ground.

Known as the Blight in Taglios, these
ancient carvings depict animals,

and perhaps most significantly, gigantic
humanoid figures.

The entaglios are unique in that they
are always found on the shorelines of

ancient lakes that existed 12 ,500 years
ago and prior.

In April 2018,

ancient astronaut theorist David
Childress traveled to Blythe to meet

historian Patricia Robles and Alfredo
Figueroa.

an elder of the local Chemehuevi tribe.

He is also known to many in the region
as the guardian of the glyphs.

David was eager to see firsthand whether
the legends surrounding these unique

geoglyphs could be true.

They can only be seen from the air,
really, right? They can be seen from the

ground, but you can't see it all.

In tech.

If you're walking on it, you really
don't know what you're walking on.

Yeah, right. We'll be able to see it
with the drone, I think. Oh, that's

excellent. You got a drone?

Yeah, we've got it. Yeah, let me get
that drone out. Okay, let me get it.

Who built this and why?

The regular tribes here were the
Aztecas. The Aztecs. Right.

I have a... Here we go.

Wow, that's pretty interesting.

With the drone camera, David, Patricia,
and Alfredo are able to see the Blythe

intaglios from a vantage point that
their creators never could have, at

not without the aid of some form of
aircraft.

But if this is true, then why were they
created, and for whom?

All right, this is Omer Siwat.

Siwat means woman.

And she is pregnant right here. She's
like having a baby then.

And right next to her is the ocelot.

Ocelot is a jaguar.

So you can see it's a cat because it has
a very long tail, huh?

Well, the tail is supposed to have been
like a u.

And in the cosmos, it represents the big
dipper.

Here in this place, they came down.

And because they descended from the
cosmos, our ancestors created these

and aligned them with the constellations
so that we would understand that story.

But of all the Blythe and Taglios, the
ones Alfredo is most eager to show David

are those that are the largest and
arguably the most dramatic.

This is big. This thing is huge. That's
right.

They are the ones representing the Aztec
gods Cocopelli, better known as

Quetzalcoatl, and Sisi Mito, the Aztec
star god.

Which glyph is this one?

What we're seeing here is Cocopelli.

And he represents Quetzalcoatl.

The Aztec god of Quetzalcoatl.

So this one is... Sisi Mito.

Sisi Mito.

His face there, you see his nose.

I mean, it's not like a normal...

No, well, it looks just like E .T. He
looks like an extraterrestrial, yeah.

An extraterrestrial?

Is it possible that these incredible
geoglyphs represent not just

gods, but actual alien beings whose
arrival on Earth was witnessed by the

people?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and
Alfredo Figueroa is convinced.

But it was here, the location of the
Aztecs' legendary home of Aslan, where

extraterrestrial visitors came down from
the sky.

Aslan is very important in Aztec
mythology.

It was a place where the gods came down
to give them the information and

prophecies that the Aztecs had.

I mean, you're maintaining that this
whole area here around Blythe and the

Colorado River, It's the ancient
homeland of the Aztecs and the gods,

Yes. The geoglyphs were made by the
Nahua people. The Nahua are the origin

the Aztecas and the Mexicas. So they're
the ones that made them at first.

And then the Nahua people made these
geoglyphs to honor the creator gods.

Right, and to not forget where we came
from.

That's right.

Could it be that Blythe, California,

really was the ancestral home of the
Aztec people, and that more than 1 ,000

years ago, the area was visited by
extraterrestrial beings.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that
the answers may be found by examining

the most mysterious glyphs of all,
incredible images of visitors from the

Any discussion of mysterious glyphs has
to include the incredible ancient rock

art of the Native Americans.

In 2013, I got the rare opportunity to
examine a remarkable collection of

petroglyphs in the Zuni territory of New
Mexico with tribal elder Clifford

Mahudi.

The Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico.

Located at an elevation of over 6 ,000
feet, this barren desert land, has been

home to the Zuni for at least 1 ,300
years.

Stretching roughly 700 square miles, it
contains literally thousands of ancient

carvings that most outsiders have never
laid eyes on.

And the Zuni claim that some of these
petroglyphs depict visitations from star

beings.

To the Zuni people and other tribes,
there's a spiritual connection with the

star beings.

They're the ones that actually rule the
universe or the world that we're on.

If you look at the petroglyphs, there's
a lot of references to those type of

entities.

There's definitely evidence that aliens
visited North America in the distant

past, and there are petroglyphs
throughout this part of the country

ancient Americans that depict just that.

In 2013,

Ancient astronaut theorist Giorgio
Suclos traveled to New Mexico to meet

Zuni elder Clifford Mahudi and get an
exclusive look at this mysterious rock

art. What can you tell me about this
petroglyph right here?

You know, if you can see on top of it
where maybe a head would be, it's kind

eroded off. But on the next part of it,
there's where compartments look like

extension of something sticking out.
Yeah, almost like legs.

It could be something that they saw in
the air.

Isn't there a legend that beings visited
on top of this mountain?

Oh, yes.

On all of the mesas.

Look at that triangle up there.

And you've got the dots around that have
been carved into the rock. They remind

me like stars in conjunction with all
the stories of star people descending

the sky.

in fiery shields and things like this
when i see a pattern like that i always

think what if this is something that
they saw and then they carved onto a

for something like this that they saw
maybe in the sky or had an encounter

would come over and say well it all it
looked like this so they would put on

there He said, well, the best of my
recollection, here's what it looked

they would put it on there. So this is
their permanent record.

Right. Oh, no, that is why stone was
used. It is the only permanent record

we have.

Yes. And the thing about it is that how
does it connect to present day?

I mean, there are certain things out
here where you can look at it. Okay, for

example, the UFO.

We didn't know anything about UFOs until
the last century.

But all those years, they knew about
them, they saw them, and somebody says,

okay, I'm going to put this down here
for longevity.

And they say, grandson, I want to show
you what I saw when I was a young man.

And they'll come over and say, that's
exactly what I saw, and here's what it

looked like.

Is it possible that these ancient rock
carvings in remote areas of the Zuni

territory provide a historical record of
extraterrestrial contact?

You can find petroglyphs that are
similar to those in the Zuni territory

throughout North America. And
surprisingly, nearly identical drawings

found on the other side of the planet.

Brisbane Water National Park, New South
Wales, Australia.

The Bulgari Preservation Site.

is one of numerous sacred indigenous
locations where ancient rock art and

engravings can be found.

Many are believed to date back thousands
of years.

In February 2016,

researcher and publisher Giorgio
Tsoukalos traveled to Australia to meet

Aboriginal elder Kevin Gavi Duncan to
learn about one of the oldest carvings

that can be found here.

So what are we looking at here?

So this image is an actual image of what
we say is our godfather creator being,

Bayami.

That's what our people believe.

Okay.

Bayami came from a place that we call
the morning star within the mirror

Mirror means stars and bukkha means
river. It is the Milky Way that flows

the night sky.

No kidding.

Okay.

And so he is one of those sky heroes
that has descended from the Milky Way.

He's a sky hero.

And Bihami is carved in the manner as
you see them. He has his arms out and he

holds the moon in one hand and the
morning star in the

other, which is a bit like what we call
planet Earth.

And these are the two moons which exist
around the morning star in the Mirabuka

that Bayami came from.

And this is the canoe.

He sailed through the river of life in
the Mirabuka across the sky. He sailed

through the Milky Way. Yes, he sailed
through the Milky Way.

And this was his vessel that he sailed
and landed to the earth.

And he crushed the top of the mountain,
which is the sacred mountain of Mount

Yango, not far from here.

When he landed, they said the fire came
from his feet and it burnt the top of

the mountain and all around it every
time he landed. So the landings were

associated with a lot of noise, smoke
and fire.

The fire trail that was left when Bayami
was leaving the top of the mountain

into the sky world. When Bayami had
left, it was so bright.

People interpret that as a spaceship of
some kind, as come and go.

But this is the way we simply interpret
Bayami spaceship.

Right, but it's because the vocabulary
didn't exist at the time. So to me,

are all wonderfully poetic ways to
describe...

eyewitness accounts of things that were
incredible.

Yes. This site is considered around 8
,000 to 10 ,000 years old.

Wow.

These carvings, these rock paintings,
these are our books.

They are considered to be basically
truth.

Do the petroglyphs found in Australia
and North America?

tell the same story of alien visitation?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and
suggest that another series of rock

carvings found in Australia may reveal
the truth about how these otherworldly

visitors arrived on planet Earth.

On ancient aliens, we've examined glyphs
all over the world, and we find

strikingly similar imagery again and
again.

But what was completely unexpected was
the discovery of what are clearly

Egyptian hieroglyphs, not in Egypt, but
in Australia.

Central Coast, New South Wales,
Australia.

Deep in the Brisbane Water National Park
is a mysterious site known as the

Gosford Glyphs.

The site consists of two massive eight
-foot -high walls.

engraved with over 300 ancient carvings.

Carvings that experts say do not
resemble indigenous artwork, but

hieroglyphs.

After deciphering the texts, 21st
century Egyptologist Ray Johnson

to reveal the burial site of Lord
Nefertiru, a member of the Egyptian

family. who died while visiting the area
with his brother sometime between 2637

and 2614 B .C.

Absolutely beautiful out here.

And I am.

While visiting the area in 2016,

Giorgio Suclos met with local ancient
astronaut theorist Evan Strong.

to get a first -hand look at these
enigmatic carvings. And here we are.

That's incredible.

I had no idea. I mean, this looks
totally different than on pictures.

So what do these hieroglyphs say?

Well, at least one panel talks about two
brothers, two princes, coming here from

Egypt. They were shipwrecked. One of
them ended up getting bitten by a snake.

He then died.

then he was interred here, and that's
why you've got Pyrogoth here, because he

died here.

But there's these other walls with a
mixture of symbols.

This one over here is more of a
philosophical, astrophysics -style thing

symbols meaning all sorts of esoteric
stuff.

Now, have these symbols at all been
interpreted by Egyptologists?

There's... Been a few, actually.

A few different people have done that.
And what was their reaction?

Well, Raymond Johnson was one of the
first people to come here and translate.

He actually sent some of his
translations off to the Cairo Library,

Diogazi ended up saying, yep, you're on
the right track.

Something called proto -Egyptian. And
how old do you reckon these are?

We're thinking, because of the
prevalence at least in one panel of

-Egyptians, that it's about 4 ,600 years
old.

Wow.

Are there any hieroglyphs that stand out
to you?

Yeah, definitely. Follow me down here,
and I'll show you this other one.

This one here we call the UFO glyph, and
people have called that since they've

been coming here, because it kind of
looks like a UFO.

It definitely has the classic UFO shape.

It's got the...

The rays or whatever you want to call
it.

What would you suggest if anyone says,
well, this is not a UFO, it's some other

symbol, but certainly not that?

I think someone suggested it's jewelry,
but it's a completely different symbol

that's upside down. It really doesn't
quite fit in. It's one of those symbols

here that doesn't fit into the canon.

In your opinion, why do you think the
Egyptians made it all the way to

Australia? I think they were looking for
esoteric.

Wisdom, definitely. From the
Aboriginals?

Yeah.

The ancient Egyptians, we have stories
and Aboriginal stories about their

arrival and about their visits long
before Europeans had arrived here.

Naturally, we would have shared ceremony
with these people because they have the

same similar beliefs as our people.

Egyptians have that same...

spiritual connection to the sky world.

Hieroglyphs found in Australia?

Might the continent have actually served
as a pilgrimage site for visitors

seeking a direct connection to the so
-called gods?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and
suggest further evidence of this

otherworldly link can be found in one of
the most remote places in the world.

What's fascinating about many of the
glyphs we've examined on ancient aliens

that they depict the natural world of
our ancestors with extreme accuracy.

But every now and then we find a bird
that looks more like an airplane, or a

serpent with wings, or even a turtle
descending from the sky.

And this is exactly what I found at one
of the most remote locations in the

world, the Marquesas Islands.

The South Pacific Ocean, June 2018.

Ancient astronaut theorists Giorgio
Tsoukalos and David Childress set out to

explore the remote Marquesas Islands in
search of evidence that extraterrestrial

contact took place here in the remote
past.

Hello. Hello. I'm Giorgio. Pleasure to
meet you.

I'm Anieta. Hi, I'm David.

Arriving on the island of Nuku Hiva.

They are met by local guide, Panyata
Kimateta.

Let's go explore.

Great. All right.

She has brought them to an area known as
Kamuihe, a sacred place believed to be

rich in what the natives call mana, or
spiritual power.

So we are arriving at this spot where I
really wanted to show you about this

site. Oh, look at this.

What we see here is what we call a
petroglyph. Yeah.

So you have three turtles.

So one, two, three here.

And also on the rock, you can see a
canoe.

Okay. So you have the head of the canoe
here that looks a little bit like a

bird. Their canoes had a bird head at
the front.

You see the beak?

Yeah, that looks like a bird head. Yeah.

And what is the significance of the
turtles?

The turtle is actually the messenger
from the gods. He was a very sacred

People were not allowed to eat them.

You know, I think this is really
interesting what you said, that the

regarded here as a messenger of the
gods, because this is not something new.

It's not something...

native to this area. There are other
parts of the world where the turtle is

described by having descended from the
sky.

And the idea that this is here too
considered a messenger of the gods, that

me is a connection to potential
extraterrestrials.

Throughout the planet, numerous ancient
cultures have origin stories that

involve some sort of divine or cosmic
turtle.

Followers of Japanese Shinto venerate
the Kamiishi, a stone turtle that

the end of the world.

In Guatemala, there are legends of giant
flying turtles and even artifacts that

feature the image of a man wearing what
appears to be a helmet lying inside a

turtle shell.

In North America, the Iroquois Indians
tell tales of a sky goddess.

who falls to earth from the heavens,
whereupon a giant turtle rises up from

ocean to catch her.

I think it's interesting here, this
canoe, which would have been very large,

the bird head on it, and you have the
birdmen of Easter Island that are so

famous.

One of Easter Island's ancient
traditions involves Tengada Manu, or the

Cult.

According to legend, the creator god,
Maki Maki, was looking in a mirror and

a bird land on his shoulder.

Seeing his image combined with the bird,
he decided to make a son who was half

man, half bird.

In turn, the Rapa Nui people of Easter
Island worshipped the bird man as the

predecessor of all humans.

One of the central focuses of the
rituals, the annual rituals at Easter

was that of Tangatu Manu, the Birdman.

And the Birdman is a universal symbol
that we find in many parts of the globe

that relates to ancestry associated with
figures, characters in feather coats.

who were seen to be able to go between
this world and the next.

And here we have the same idea on Easter
Island.

Is there more to see on the island?

We have a lot more to see on the island.
Okay. So let's go. Okay.

After showing Giorgio and David the
ancient petroglyphs, Agnata takes them

site that is some of the most striking
statuary in the Marquesas.

Right now, we are at the Tohua of
Temerhea. So the Tohua is the gathering

And so this sculpture here is a modern
sculpture.

But is this based on something old?

Yes, because the site that we are on was
rebuilt. Even though it's modern, it's

really based on the original statue. Oh,
wow.

Okay. Is this considered a tiki?

Yes, the tiki represent the population.

So to the Marquesan people, what is a
tiki?

A tiki at first was the representation
of our god of magic and sorcery. He was

one of the only gods in French Polynesia
that has the face of a man.

He became our protector because when you
have a tiki by your side, then you're

protected from your enemy.

In the Marquesas, The word tiki can be
used to refer both to an ancestral

that came to the islands in ancient
times, as well as the statues that

him.

They are variously carved in both wood
and stone, and often depict a being with

large, goggle -like eyes.

And this is what Tiki looks like?

Yes, because they say in the legend that
when Tiki left the earth, they made the

sculpture of how he looked like, just to
have something to remember from Tiki.

So that's how he looked like, actually.
It looks very strange to me.

This is a representation of what your
ancestors thought this figure looked

It doesn't look like a man. It looks
weird.

Yeah, I mean, he sort of looks like a
man, but with these big goggle eyes and

the elongated head and everything, he
looks like an extraterrestrial.

Is it possible that glyphs found on
nearly every continent reveal that

people all over the world encountered
extraterrestrial visitors?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that
some rock art provides a record not

only of alien contact, but even of how
they got here.

Could these mysterious petroglyphs
provide the best evidence yet of ancient

alien contact?

To me, the ultimate proof lies in the
fact that all over the world, cultures

that were separated by thousands of
miles carved the same strange figures

symbols again and again.

leaving us with a record of
extraterrestrial intervention on Earth.

Our alien origins are in plain sight for
anyone to see.

You only need to read the writing on the
wall.
