15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,060 Or might they be the product of alien technology? 16 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:46,220 ERICH VON DANIKEN: Extraterrestrials would not 17 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,120 have left without any proof. 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,300 They wanted that in the far future, we start to reflect. 19 00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,400 Have you been visited by outer space?

91 00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:56,020 The Carnac Stones are one of the few things 92 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,360 on the planet that can actually be seen from space. 93 00:05:59,420 --> 00:06:03,240 And they're a perfect marker for any kind of aerial vehicle 94 00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,120 looking down on the Earth. 95 00:06:08,020 --> 00:06:11,020 Many of the tourists who come here to Carnac 96 00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:15,180 claim that they can actually feel the energy emanating 97 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,400 from these granite megaliths. 98 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,280 How did these ancient people know about this energy? 99 00:06:23,340 --> 00:06:26,280 Is it possible that they were able to use 100 00:06:26,340 --> 00:06:32,020 this energy to even move and erect these giant stones? 101 00:06:33,420 --> 00:06:38,260 I am of the opinion that they were made on purpose. 102 00:06:39,140 --> 00:06:44,280 The extraterrestrials told our ancestors, do this and this. 103 00:06:44,340 --> 00:06:48,120 It's not the extraterrestrials who made the stone lines, 104 00:06:48,180 --> 00:06:52,120 it's the humans who made it, but by the order 105 00:06:52,180 --> 00:06:54,280 of the extraterrestrials. 106 00:06:57,060 --> 00:06:58,360 NARRATOR: But were the Carnac stones 107 00:06:58,420 --> 00:07:01,000 a signpost for an ancient astronaut 108 00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:06,040 called Apollo as he flew his spacecraft high above the land? 109 00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:13,020 If the Greek god Apollo was really 110 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,040 some kind of ancient astronaut, it's 111 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,320 possible that the stones here at Carnac 112 00:07:18,380 --> 00:07:20,360 were a directional finder pointing 113 00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:25,440 the way to the far north, to the Hyperborea of the ancient gods. 114 00:07:34,140 --> 00:07:38,460 NARRATOR: Over 1,000 miles North of Carnac lies Scandinavia, 115 00:07:39,020 --> 00:07:42,280 home to an ancient people called the Norse. 116 00:07:43,260 --> 00:07:46,220 The Norse were tribal Germanic people 117 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,480 who lived in what is now known as Sweden, 118 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,040 Denmark, Iceland, and Norway. 119 00:07:54,020 --> 00:07:57,020 Norse legends record the triumphs of great warriors 120 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,100 with advanced weaponry, sophisticated combat 121 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,240 techniques, and navigational prowess. 122 00:08:04,060 --> 00:08:06,440 Like the Greeks, Norse mythology includes 123 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,160 supernatural beings, 124 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,220 other worlds, and powerful gods. 125 00:08:16,340 --> 00:08:19,180 But like the Romans, could the Norse myths 126 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,340 refer not to different gods, but the same gods 127 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,380 as those depicted by the ancient Greeks? 128 00:08:26,420 --> 00:08:28,460 There are a number of similarities 129 00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:32,020 between Greek mythology and Norse mythology. 130 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,400 And many of the gods are almost identical. 131 00:08:35,460 --> 00:08:37,400 And they do much the same thing. 132 00:08:40,180 --> 00:08:43,100 NARRATOR: Descriptions of the Viking god Odin, the god 133 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,380 of war, death, and knowledge, and the Greek gods 134 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,480 Zeus bear striking similarities. 135 00:08:50,420 --> 00:08:55,400 Zeus and Odin are both sky father gods. 136 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,460 They traveled through the skies in chariots 137 00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:05,160 because they are akin to the solar divinities. 138 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:10,320 The precursor to many religious beliefs is sun worship. 139 00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:13,040 The ancients knew that life came from the sun. 140 00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:18,140 So that is a great mystery and a source of great awe. 141 00:09:22,260 --> 00:09:25,020 What you're getting there is not just some minor deity, 142 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,280 but you really are nailing it down 143 00:09:27,340 --> 00:09:29,180 to one of the chief deities. 144 00:09:29,260 --> 00:09:31,300 This is a very important character. 145 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,280 And so whoever is behind Odin or Zeus 146 00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:38,460 is obviously a person or a divine entity which 147 00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:40,480 is shared by these cultures. 148 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,440 And it's clear that whoever inspired 149 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000 the myth of Zeus or Odin is somehow somebody who 150 00:09:48,060 --> 00:09:50,040 had an extremely important contribution 151 00:09:50,140 --> 00:09:51,460 to make to both civilizations. 152 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,060 So this entity was definitely known throughout Europe. 153 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,320 NARRATOR: Could the Norse and Greek 154 00:10:01,380 --> 00:10:06,180 gods really have been the same extraterrestrial beings? 155 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,120 Did they use the megalithic stones at Carnac 156 00:10:11,260 --> 00:10:13,320 as a directional marker that can be 157 00:10:13,380 --> 00:10:15,480 seen from high above the Earth?
