All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens s14e13 The Constellation Code.enl

NARRATOR:
Taurus, Leo, Gemini, Aries.

Are the constellations
of the night sky merely meant

to map the stars,

or could they be something more?

JONATHAN YOUNG: In ancient times,
there was a fortune-telling quality

to this vast array.

MITCH HOROWITZ: Our ancient
ancestors came to feel

that these constellations
were windows on earthly events.

ANDREW COLLINS: Is it possible that
all of these different constellations

convey alien messages inbound

from somewhere else
in the galaxy?

NARRATOR: Was knowledge
of the constellations

given to ancient people
by extraterrestrial visitors?

And do they contain a code
that, once deciphered,

could unlock the mysteries
of the entire universe?

DAVID CHILDRESS: You have to
wonder if these star signs

aren't some code
that has been put there

for us to make contact
with extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR:
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.

Somerset, England.

1927.

49-year-old artist
Katharine Maltwood

has been commissioned
to draw a map

outlining the adventures
of the knights of King Arthur.

Thanks to the recent invention
of the airplane,

she is able to obtain
the earliest aerial photographs

of the area.

While studying them,
she suddenly notices

a figure in the landscape.

She noticed what appeared to be
a landscape lion.

It just sort of reared up
at her, quite literally.

And she examined this
and wondered whether

this was the Leo figure
of the zodiac.

Then she saw, next to it,
this large, giant figure,

which she felt was part
of some kind of collective

of landscape effigies

that had been laid down
by ancient hands.

And one by one, she found
that they actually represented

the 12 signs of the zodiac.

HUGH NEWMAN:
Glastonbury Zodiac is so large

that you can only really see it
from the sky.

The zodiac signs are marked
by rivers, streams,

roads, field boundaries.

Pisces is actually two fishes,

and one of the fishes is
Wearyall Hill.

The other side of the road,
we have Aries.

They were actually creating
certain parts of the zodiac

as earth works, as shapes,
deliberately.

NARRATOR: The shapes look
so much like man-made features

that Maltwood published
a book about them

and called it
the Temple of the Stars.

While it was received
with much skepticism,

proponents say there is
ample evidence around the region

to suggest these formations
have been created

by artificial means

and that almost every field
and hill in the area

has been modified in some way.

One of the most important ones
is called Ponter's Ball.

Now, this is a large, mile-long,
pointed earth work,

which is exactly where
the Capricorn effigy's horn is

in the zodiac.

NARRATOR: Even more
significant is a massive hill

called Glastonbury Tor.

Many researchers are convinced
that this is a man-made feature.

And based on its shape,
some have even suggested

it could be hiding
an ancient pyramid.

Glastonbury Tor is
the most significant part

of the whole Somerset landscape.

On top of it,
we have St. Michael's Tower,

a 14th-century construction.

But the main site itself
has terraces carved around it,

like a labyrinth coming up
from ground level

all the way to the top.

If there really is
a labyrinthian design marked out

on the slopes
of Glastonbury Tor,

it's not just pre-Roman;
It must be pre-Celtic.

Uh, it must even date back
to the megalithic times.

WILLIAM HENRY:
The question becomes, well,

if you can't see the zodiac
from ground level,

then how is it possible
that these ancient designers

could see it from the air?

This suggests that Glastonbury
was designed with people

that had some kind of
transportation that took them

into the air of Glastonbury,

be it an extraterrestrial craft

or maybe some other type
of a craft.

It's only until we ourselves
have the ability of flight

and could do aerial surveys,

and then we could see
this giant zodiac

on the landscape
around Glastonbury.

So, in some ways, perhaps it was
left for us like an ancient code

to find in the future.

NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists suggest

that to solve the mystery
of the Glastonbury Zodiac,

we must first solve
another mystery:

That of the zodiac itself.

In ancient times,

the night sky
was a dazzling mystery.

This vast array of stars.

And gradually,
there was an understanding

that certain things
could come from this.

You could read it as a calendar.

You would know
when to plant your crops.

You would know when
the floods might come.

NARRATOR: Connected to
the tracking of the stars

was the practice
of drawing lines between them

to create constellations,

which exist
in the historical records

of humanity's earliest
civilizations.

It also appears
that these civilizations

had some form
of what is referred to

as the "zodiac wheel."

COLLINS: The ancients
decided that they would

create a division of the heavens

based upon the movement
of the Sun

through one yearly cycle.

And as it does this,
it passes through

12 different constellations.

And these become
the zodiacal signs

that we know today.

These ideas go back
to Babylonian times

and even the Sumerians,
as much as 5,000 years ago.

NARRATOR: In many ancient
cultures, it was thought

that the constellations affected
not only harvests and weather,

but daily life as well.

While this may seem like
a primitive notion,

it is very much alive and well,

kept relevant
by billions of people

who check their horoscopes
every day.

In modern times, there's this
distinction between astronomy,

which is the observation
of celestial movements,

and astrology,
which is the interpretation

of those celestial bodies
and movements.

In ancient times,
the astronomers and astrologers

tended to be one
and the same person.

Astrology didn't originate
in one place,

but for some reason,
just about every culture

seems to have made
this observation

that there's a correlation
between celestial movements

and earthly events,

which is the basic premise
of astrology.

NARRATOR: While astrology is
dismissed by modern science,

it is estimated
that over 90% of the world's

adult population today is aware
of their astrological sign.

In the modern world,
many people regard this

as nothing more than
a topic of conversation.

But in the ancient world,
the zodiac wheel was seen

as a way to communicate
with the gods.

The ancient Greeks
conceptualized astrology

as the language of the gods,
or the heavenly script,

as if the movements
of the planets across the sky

and through the signs of
the zodiac or the constellations

had some sort
of significant message

that was being conveyed
by the gods

about life on Earth
and about individuals.

NARRATOR: The ancient people
associated the constellations

with important historical
and mythological events,

and even with the creation
of humanity itself.

HENRY: The ancients began
assigning animals as symbols

for this journey
through the sky.

In ancient Sumeria,
they identified Aquarius

with a god being, Enki,

who was the creator god
in the Sumerian tradition.

According to the Sumerians,
it was Enki who came to Earth

and created humanity
in its present form.

Now, this is very interesting,

because these types
of descriptions appear

over and over again
where people connect

with these particular
star systems or constellations,

in various mythic
and historical traditions.

That cannot be by coincidence.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
extraterrestrial visitors

are responsible
for so many separate cultures

not only connecting
the same groups of stars

in the exact same way,

but for revering
these constellations

as sources of power and wisdom?

Could these pictures in the sky

have a far more profound
significance

than we are aware of today?

And if so, might the Glastonbury
Zodiac provide the key

to recovering
this lost knowledge?

Curiously,
Glastonbury has been a hotbed

of UFO sightings for decades.

One of the most famous
encounters

was reported by author Anthony
Roberts and his wife in 1969.

And they were driving in a car,

and they'd seen a huge sphere

of white light
in the sky ahead of them,

and they followed it
and it changed size.

It then started to trace out

an enormous geometrical star
pattern across the entire sky,

and then massively accelerate
and disappear.

NARRATOR: Might there be a
connection between the star pattern

that was allegedly created
by the UFO

and the zodiac wheel formed
in the Glastonbury landscape?

But if this site really does
contain lost knowledge

regarding the zodiac,
what could it be?

Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining

another towering megalithic site

built in the shape
of a constellation.

NARRATOR:
Alatri, Italy,

June 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos

is in the heart
of the Italian peninsula,

about 50 miles southeast
of Rome.

He is here to investigate
the astronomical alignment

of the finest megalithic
construction in Italy,

the city's acropolis.

TSOUKALOS (chuckles):
All right.

Giulio.

- Hello, Giorgio. How are you?
- Good to see you again.

- Yeah. Nice to see you again.
- How are you?

- Fine.
- What a fantastic place.

- I cannot wait to see all of this.
- Yeah. Yeah.

- Yeah.
- I've been waiting for years to see this.

Amazing.

NARRATOR: For expert insight,
he has enlisted the help

of Dr. Giulio Magli,
a professor of archaeoastronomy

from the Polytechnic University
in Milan, Italy.

Dr. Magli has spent years
studying this massive structure.

This is incredible.

Mm-hmm.

TSOUKALOS: 26 tons.
I mean, this is absolutely insane.

Right.

So you're suggesting
that they had to have had

a compelling reason to do this,

'cause nobody
in their right mind

would do something like this
without a reason.

Yes.

NARRATOR:
The imposing megalithic citadel

was built on top of a hill

and is defined
by six huge walls.

The shape of the acropolis,
when viewed from the sky,

has led some to suggest
that it was built to create

a lasting commemoration of the
site's connection to the stars.

Giorgio has brought
a drone with him

to get an aerial view
of the ancient acropolis.

- All right, let's launch this rocket.
- Yes.

TSOUKALOS: All right,
so what do we see here?

- Okay.
- And...

TSOUKALOS:
Right.

So, are you saying that this
mount here was cut artificially?

That is incredible.

TSOUKALOS:
Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

TSOUKALOS: So, we are looking
at the outline of Gemini here?

- Wow.
- May well be.

What's really interesting here
is that the entire mountaintop

has been artificially shaped

so that it is in the shape
of the constellation of Gemini.

And then you have to wonder,
why was it built in this shape?

Because something
of significance happened here

a long time ago.

NARRATOR:
In Greek mythology,

the Gemini constellation
depicts twin brothers,

Castor and Pollux,

the offspring
of a god and a human.

HENRY: In the story, we're told
that Zeus shape-shifted

or disguised himself as a swan

and impregnated
this human female, Leda,

leading to the birth
of Castor and Pollux.

But in some versions
of the story,

we learn that there were
actually

two eggs that were hatched.

One had the twin sets of boys,

and another had
twin sets of girls.

Some of the twins were mortal.

Others of the twins
were immortal.

NARRATOR:
While mainstream historians

consider the story
purely mythological,

ancient astronaut theorists
point out that these gods

were considered very real
by the Greek people of the time,

and they propose
that the story of the twins

could be an account of
an extraterrestrial encounter.

In one version of the story,
we're told that

the egg containing
Castor and Pollux

came down out of the heavens.

TSOUKALOS: When the legends say that
the Gemini twins were born of an egg

that descended from the sky,

it actually says that they were
born of a so-called cosmic egg.

And what are these cosmic eggs?

They're always described

as having either a silver
or a bronze-colored shell,

and sometimes
they're also described

as having a lot
of smoke, fire and noise.

CHILDRESS:
And interestingly,

many UFOs are sometimes
seen as eggs.

So, is it possible that the egg
of Castor and Pollux

is some extraterrestrial vehicle
that looks like an egg

and lands on Earth,
and then two twins step out?

It's quite possible.

NARRATOR:
If the Alatri acropolis

was purposely built to resemble
the Gemini constellation,

could it be commemorating
an alien visitation?

And considering
the incredible size

of the stones it was built with,
is it possible

that the extraterrestrials
themselves had a hand

in the wall's construction?

Do we have any records,
written records at all,

- about this place from ancient times?
- We don't.

Okay.

What is your speculation

how old this place
really could be?

Okay, uh...

TSOUKALOS:
Because you can clearly see

the different
construction styles.

Giulio, thank you very much
for sharing this with me,

and I can't wait till
we see each other again.

CHILDRESS: Whoever built
the Alatri acropolis

was trying to point
something out to us.

Apparently, they were trying
to show us the zodiac

and the constellation of Gemini.

And why they were trying
to do that, we don't know.

NARRATOR: The Alatri acropolis
is particularly baffling

in that, much like
the Glastonbury Zodiac,

its shape can only be discerned
from high above,

a perspective
that the ancient people

presumably would not have had.

But these are just two
of many sites found

all over the world
that appear to have connections

to the stars.

HENRY: The Mayan temples were
aligned with the Pleiades.

Angkor Wat is aligned with
the constellation of Draco.

What's interesting about
all of these places

is that they're considered
to be star mirrors,

making them places
of connection,

where people can go to connect

with that particular star system
or constellation.

NARRATOR:
Is it possible

that the Alatri acropolis
and other sites

aligned with constellations
around the world

were built to honor
extraterrestrial beings

who visited in the distant past?

And if so,
could they have another,

even more profound purpose?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest further clues
as to what that purpose is

can be found by examining
the signs of the zodiac

and their connection
to the gods.

NARRATOR:
Berlin, Germany.

January 2016.

(bicycle bell dinging)

Humboldt University professor
Mathieu Ossendrijver

announces
a revolutionary discovery

in the field of astronomy.

He translates a Babylonian text

that shows the ancient people
calculated the orbit of Jupiter

more than 2,000 years ago,

demonstrating an understanding
of mathematical concepts

that were not thought
to have been developed

until the 17th century.

The sky watchers of Babylon
also identified

the constellations
of the zodiac.

And incredibly, a star chart

belonging to
the Sumerian civilization

that preceded the Babylonians

has been dated to 3300 BC.

But perhaps
even more significant

than the discovery
that ancient people

recognized the constellations
as early as 5,000 years ago

is the fact
that they believed them

to be intimately tied
to events on Earth,

imbued with the power
of the gods.

Each sign has its own story.

Each is tied
to specific mythology.

Different mythologies
in different parts of the world,

but the collection
has sort of become standardized,

more or less based on the Greek,
with a few exceptions.

So, the sign Aries
is represented

by the god Aries,
the god of war.

This is not only
the warrior energy,

but the ability to fight through
a difficult problem.

Taurus is the god Aphrodite,

and this is
important divine energy,

it is love, beauty, sex,

a sense of confidence
in your appearance.

Cancer is associated with
the goddess Artemis,

the goddess of the hunt,
of the forest and the Moon,

so the dark places
that are important

but hard to navigate.

So we have these 12 stories,
these 12 signs,

12 different divine energies.

The very first
personality typology

is born of our relationship
with the sky.

It's born of the stars.

We're looking out into
the celestial realm,

and we see ourselves.

NARRATOR: In many ways,
the zodiac truly is

the language of the heavens.

The positions of the
constellations in the night sky

also indicate the positions
of the planets,

as well as the position
of the Earth

in relation to the Sun.

Incredibly, ancient people
had some understanding of this

thousands of years before
the invention of the telescope.

And they closely watched
the movement

of these celestial bodies
for divine messages.

This shows up really prominently
in the Bible.

Uh, for example, in the story
of... or the Gospel of Matthew...

There's the story about the Magi
going to the birth of Jesus

because they saw
the Star of Bethlehem.

But the point of that story
is not that the Magi

saw the Star of Bethlehem
and thought it caused the birth

of Jesus, but just that
there was some sort

of celestial omen or message
that indicated

that somebody important
had been born.

And that's part of the reason
why some of the planets

are named after specific gods.

Like Jupiter... in Greek...
Is named Zeus,

or Mercury was named Hermes,
and so on and so forth.

They tended to think
that the planets

and some of the celestial bodies

were the celestial
representations of those gods

and had some power to convey
messages from the cosmos,

as if the cosmos itself
was alive and sentient

and capable of speaking
to humanity.

And sometimes they'll go so far
as to try to, um, mirror events

that are happening
in the sky on Earth.

NARRATOR:
If ancient people believed

that the stars relayed messages
from the gods to humans,

then did they build structures
aligned to the stars

or in the shape
of constellations

not simply to pay tribute
to these gods,

but to leave messages
of their own?

Perhaps further clues
can be found

by examining
a more modern mystery.

In 2018, astrophysicist
Travis Taylor

traveled to Oak Island,

off the coast
of Nova Scotia, Canada,

where, according to legend,
a treasure was buried

more than 200 years ago.

Travis met up with the island's
current caretakers,

Rick and Marty Lagina,

to test his theory
that a band of warrior monks

called the Knights Templar
was behind the mystery,

and that they recorded
the location of the treasure

with a star map.

MARTY LAGINA: So, you've done
some investigative work

- and you have some stuff to show us, I understand.
- TAYLOR: Right. Yeah, I do.

I got to thinking,
is there something

that archaeoastronomy might
have to do with the island?

So I overlaid the constellation
of Taurus on the island.

What we have
are all of the stars

aligning onto the island.

This is a star map.

Not only are the stars
used for navigation;

You can look at
the constellations in the sky

and also use those to map out
points on the ground,

and that can also act
as like a treasure map.

There's a huge boulder
over here.

We walked across the island
to those GPS coordinates,

and interestingly enough,

six out of seven of the points
we went to...

Is that not a giant stone
right there?

There was a large boulder,
uh, that weighed several tons,

that was right where
the star coincided

with the map on the island.

JACK BEGLEY:
This is one of your points,

and there was
a stone feature here.

- A very obvious one.
- That's-that's wild.

TAYLOR:
The boulders,

they weren't indigenously there.

They were put there on purpose.

So, the constellation
was drawn out on the island.

The question is, why?

LAGINA: Yeah,
you can't deny that you're hitting

on all cylinders,
so that's cool.

On to the next.

Could those stones that we saw

be markers that were put there
by some human beings

a long, long time ago
to correspond with a star map?

The answer is...
Of course they could.

NARRATOR: While the Oak Island
treasure has yet to be found,

many experts believe
that constellations

can be used as a type of code.

It's possible that other
information could also be used,

uh, by laying star maps
on the surface.

They could be leaving a message,
like, whoever built this,

that's where they came from.

It's also possible
that this could be a message

on how to build or do something.

NARRATOR:
Messages contained in star maps?

Could this explain
not only the arrangement

of the mysterious boulders
found on Oak Island,

but also why ancient peoples
throughout the world

built structures
to mirror the heavens?

But if so, what information
might be revealed at places

like the Alatri acropolis
and the Glastonbury pyramid?

Are they pointing to the origins

of multiple extraterrestrial
factions that came to Earth?

Or something even more profound?

NARRATOR:
St. Andrews, Scotland.

July 2012.

A team of scientists
at St. Andrews University

announces
an incredible discovery,

the remains of an ancient
civilization on the bottom

of the North Sea,
just east of the British Isles.

Archaeologists believe it fell
victim to rising sea levels

at least 8,000 years ago,
and potentially even earlier.

The sunken civilization
is named Doggerland

after a nearby sandbank
called Dogger Bank,

but there are some who call it
by another name: Atlantis.

TSOUKALOS: The first reference
of Atlantis that we have

is in Plato's dialogues
by Timaeus and Critias.

In the very end of that,

it talks about this
mythical place called Atlantis

from where any and all knowledge
of the world came.

And so,
some people have suggested

that the first civilization on
Earth may have been Atlantean.

Depending on
your source material,

Atlantis will be depicted
in different ways,

but from Plato forward,
it's almost always depicted

as a technologically advanced
civilization.

A civilization that occupies
the pinnacle of development.

Atlantis was allegedly
this land mass that existed

beyond the Pillars of Hercules,

which is today's
Strait of Gibraltar,

and to this day,
if Atlantis existed,

we have no idea
where exactly Atlantis was.

NARRATOR:
According to legend,

Atlantis was destroyed
by a cataclysmic flood,

which some identify as the great
flood described in the Bible.

Is it possible that
the newly discovered Doggerland

is actually Atlantis?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest that not only can
evidence of the lost city

be found underwater,
but even survives on dry land,

hiding in plain sight.

A number of modern scholars
in England, particularly,

have believed that all of
the stone structures and mounds

that are in England and Wales
and Scotland and Ireland

are all remnants of Atlantis.

The famous researcher
John Michell in England

wrote a book called
The View Over Atlantis.

And in that book,
he's talking about

the remnants of Atlantis
that is still above water

while much of Atlantis
is underwater now.

NARRATOR: In 1960,
British author Brinsley Le Poer Trench

published his seminal book,
The Sky People.

In it, he claims the Glastonbury
Zodiac was built by Atlanteans.

Atlantis was basically
a culture that always,

as far as Trench was concerned,
from the very beginning,

uh, had an E.T. impetus.

And at its very end,
that impetus is there again

when the Glastonbury Zodiac
is created

as an enduring memorial
and also as a future prophecy

by Atlantean refugees,
if you like,

with help from the sky people.

HENRY:
In esoteric British lore,

before the fall of Atlantis,
there were refugees, sages,

that came to the British Isles

and created
the Glastonbury Zodiac

as a way to remember
the story of Atlantis.

NARRATOR:
Could it be that an advanced

ancient civilization
called Atlantis

was not only real,
but was a place where humans

coexisted
with extraterrestrials?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest further clues

can be found by examining
the Greek creation myth

of the lost continent.

CHILDRESS:
According to legend,

Atlantis was founded
by the god Poseidon.

He fell in love
with a human woman named Cleito,

and that they had
five sets of twins.

And these twins went on
to be the founders of Atlantis.

So here we see, really, a story
of extraterrestrials, perhaps,

coming to Earth
at a very early date.

Before the last ice age.

NARRATOR: The mythology of
the ancient Celtic people

also tells of a race of beings
who came from the sky

in this part of the world:
The Tuath D? Danann.

HENRY:
When we look at the story

of the origins of the druids

and how they are the offspring
of the Tuath D? Danann,

who came from the stars
and came...

rode upon clouds
and-and came to Britain,

we wonder if these, in fact,
could be the same gods

that founded
the civilization of Atlantis.

NARRATOR: Could it be that
the Glastonbury Zodiac

was created by Atlanteans?

But if so, why?

Was it meant to leave a physical
record of a civilization

on the verge of annihilation?

Or does it contain
critical information

for the evolution of humankind?

NARRATOR:
Glastonbury, England.

1983.

While researching
the Glastonbury Zodiac,

author Andrew Collins hears
numerous accounts from people

claiming to have experienced
strange visions

associated with the site.

For Collins, this aspect of the
mystery resonates most deeply,

as he has experienced
such visions himself.

One of the purposes
of the Glastonbury Zodiac

would seem to draw people
towards it.

During an earlier part
of my life,

I was drawn into
the Glastonbury Zodiac quest.

I started to receive
dreams and visions,

and I felt that I had to embark
upon this quest

to navigate
from each different sign,

going from place to place.

And the sense is,
at the end of it,

is that you're contributing

to some kind
of global consciousness.

For, in my opinion,

some kind of intelligence
is responsible

for drawing human experience,
human knowledge,

and uploading this
into the system.

NARRATOR: Profound visions have
been reported at Glastonbury

dating all the way back
to the modern-day rediscovery

of the enormous landscape zodiac
in 1927.

When Katharine Maltwood
first noticed the constellations

in the landscape, she said that
they jumped out at her

as if in a flash of inspiration.

HENRY:
Maltwood's sudden discovery

of the Glastonbury Zodiac
is very interesting

because it makes you wonder,

was she herself in an
altered state of consciousness

when she had this
flash of inspiration?

Did she receive perhaps
a message

from an otherworldly,
even extraterrestrial being

who told her what is actually
on the landscape at Glastonbury?

NARRATOR:
In his book, The Sky People,

Brinsley Le Poer Trench
pointed out a curious detail

of the Glastonbury Zodiac
that he felt provided evidence

of an extraterrestrial
connection.

Trench had the idea that because

there is just one
of the twins of Gemini

depicted in
the Glastonbury Zodiac,

the other twin
is in outer space.

It is a whole testimony
to this tearing asunder

of our family by the great
tragic, uh, event

of the fall of Atlantis.

HENRY: Maltwood believed
that the Glastonbury Zodiac

is an earthly counterpart

to the stellar temple called
the Caer Sidi of the Celts

and that, in fact,
it was a mirror

of the zodiac in the heavens,

and that by going into
altered states of consciousness,

ancient shamans were able to
travel into the stellar temple

from the earthly temple.

NARRATOR: Do the Gemini
twins suggest a connection

between Earth and the heavens?

Could it be that the visions
reported at Glastonbury

are messages from an advanced
extraterrestrial race?

But if so, how?

COLLINS: Is it possible that all
of these astrological influences

convey alien messages

inbound from somewhere else
in the galaxy?

Well, if the answer is yes,

then the means
of this communication

is what we call
quantum entanglement.

NARRATOR: The theory of
quantum entanglement states

that if a particle is split
into two parts,

the parts will remain connected
to one another,

even when separated
over large distances.

TAYLOR: If two particles are
quantum-entangled, as we say,

then as they travel off
to different places

in the universe,
if you do something to this one,

it instantaneously
will affect this one.

NARRATOR: Scientists suspect
a potential application

of quantum entanglement could be

in faster-than-light
communication.

HENRY: Through the process
of quantum entanglement,

an extraterrestrial being could
be millions of light-years away

and still be able to communicate
with humans on Earth.

NARRATOR:
Are there places on the planet

where extraterrestrial contact
can take place?

Is this why Katharine Maltwood
was able to recognize

the signs of the zodiac

incorporated into the landscape
of Glastonbury?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest the message
to humankind

provides not only information
about Earth,

but the key to traveling
to the stars.

NARRATOR:
New York City.

Located in Midtown Manhattan

is the busiest train station
in the United States,

Grand Central Terminal.

Three-quarters
of a million people

come through here each day,

and when they do, they pass
under an enormous star chart,

one whose origins date back
some 5,000 years.

When commuters walk
into Grand Central, they see

an epic, magnificent mural
of the zodiac wheel.

It is one of the largest
zodiac murals

in the modern world.

NARRATOR: Although most visitors
are not aware of the mural

above their heads, if they were,
they might be astounded,

because as far as
ancient astronaut theorists

are concerned, it depicts
the evolution of the Earth

in extraterrestrial terms.

The most interesting fact

about this portion
of the zodiac wheel

is that it demonstrates

what is called the
precession of the equinoxes.

What we call the spring equinox
is the first day of spring.

Back when the principles
of astrology

were first put together,

the first day of spring
was in Aries.

During the age of Christ,
the first day of spring

was in Pisces.

The fish is associated
with Pisces.

Christ was considered
the fisher of men.

And nowadays,
the spring equinox occurs

when the Sun rises in
the constellation of Aquarius.

That's why we are said to be
in the Age of Aquarius,

which is supposed to be an age
of spiritual understanding,

mystical awareness
and world peace.

NARRATOR: While there is no
consensus as to an exact date,

many believe that
the Age of Aquarius was set

by ancient astrologers to begin
in February 1962

and believed that it would
trigger the rapid development

of new technology.

Ironically,
it began just seven years

before man landed on the Moon.

NEIL ARMSTRONG:
That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind.

I guarantee you that when our
ancestors spoke about these gods

descending from the sky,

they were not referring
to the constellations themselves

descending from the sky,
but, in my opinion,

people coming from those areas
up in the night sky.

HENRY: As we are entering
into the new Age of Aquarius,

according to the Sumerians,
it was Enki,

is the original man of Aquarius,

an otherworldly,
even extraterrestrial being.

We are returning to a time
when Enki himself may return.

That's perfectly consistent
with this idea that the zodiac,

in fact, is a sort of a clock

that tells not just about
the Sun's journey,

but also about the journey
of extraterrestrials

and their return to Earth.

JASON MARTELL: We're now in
the Age of Aquarius,

and there is a quickening effect
taking place

with our technological advances.

It's very possible
that we are now in the age

when we are going to reconnect

with our ancient alien
ancestors.

NARRATOR: Could our ancestors
have been aware of the zodiac's

powerful message
thousands of years ago?

And might the signs
of the zodiac provide the key

to understanding both
humanity's past and future?

There's a prophecy
in the Glastonbury Zodiac

relating to the coming
Age of Aquarius.

It's going to be a time
where our minds begin to think

radically differently in a way

that can transform life
on this planet for the better.

In many ways, we are becoming
more enlightened,

we are becoming more connected
with the cosmos,

we understand more about
our roots and our origins.

NARRATOR: Might the discoveries
of massive landscape zodiacs,

legends of a lost
advanced civilization

and accounts of telepathic
alien transmissions

be preparing humanity to
recognize a long-lost connection

to otherworldly beings?

Does the zodiac really contain a
message from extraterrestrials?

And if so,
what is it trying to say?

Perhaps when we crack
this constellation code,

we will achieve
our ultimate destiny

and ascend to the stars.
