1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,680
An enormous flying creature
born of a raging inferno...
2
00:00:07,712 --> 00:00:14,015
a vicious three-headed dog
guarding the gates of hell
3
00:00:14,016 --> 00:00:19,999
and mysterious sea serpents
terrorizing mankind.
4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,799
But are such monsters just
mythical creatures; a fantasy?
5
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,735
Or did they actually exist
in the ancient past?
6
00:00:28,736 --> 00:00:31,551
GEORGE NOORY: There was some kind
of experimentation going on.
7
00:00:31,552 --> 00:00:35,150
Let's take this animal
and give him two heads.
8
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:38,857
Let's take this dragon
and give him wings.
9
00:00:38,892 --> 00:00:43,263
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: These
creatures are direct products
10
00:00:43,264 --> 00:00:49,151
of extraterrestrial genetic
experimentations in our past.
11
00:00:49,152 --> 00:00:53,055
NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe we have
12
00:00:53,056 --> 00:00:56,543
been visited in the past by
extraterrestrial beings.
13
00:00:56,544 --> 00:00:59,456
What if it were true?
14
00:00:59,488 --> 00:01:04,191
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
15
00:01:04,192 --> 00:01:08,607
And if so, might the beasts and
monsters of ancient legend
16
00:01:08,608 --> 00:01:13,087
really have been the product of
an advanced extraterrestrial
17
00:01:13,088 --> 00:01:15,104
intelligence?

20
00:01:49,312 --> 00:01:53,759
Montauk, New York.
21
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,871
On July 13, 2008, a 26-year-old
woman and three of her friends
22
00:01:59,872 --> 00:02:03,679
discovered the carcass of a
strange looking creature that
23
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,136
had washed onto the shore.
24
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,752
At actually looked like
a hybrid creature,
25
00:02:14,784 --> 00:02:19,840
that had the claws of a raccoon
and possibly the beak of a bird
26
00:02:19,872 --> 00:02:21,984
and the body perhaps of a dog.
27
00:02:22,016 --> 00:02:27,808
A very unusual creature,
a photograph is taken and circulated.
28
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,304
It started popping up
all over the internet.
29
00:02:30,336 --> 00:02:31,936
It went viral.
30
00:02:31,968 --> 00:02:36,864
The people couldn't identify the animal
because it didn't look like anything,
31
00:02:36,896 --> 00:02:39,616
it looked like a mixture
of different animals.
32
00:02:43,808 --> 00:02:47,520
And because it looked so strange,
you know, it's provoked a lot of fairies.
33
00:02:47,552 --> 00:02:48,928
Is it just an unknown animal?
34
00:02:50,848 --> 00:02:53,440
Could it be some sort
of hybrid type creature,
35
00:02:53,472 --> 00:02:56,096
something, you know, that had been
genetically tinkered with in a lab?
36
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,936
Some believe that the
mysterious creature
37
00:03:03,968 --> 00:03:05,376
is a hybrid beast.
38
00:03:05,408 --> 00:03:09,184
Perhaps created at a nearby
government testing facility.
39
00:03:09,216 --> 00:03:11,968
The Plumb Island Animal Disease Center.
40
00:03:13,216 --> 00:03:18,912
Crypto zoologists Lauren Callman
labels the creature the Montauk Monster.
41
00:03:18,944 --> 00:03:22,592
This is a replica of the Montauk monster.
42
00:03:22,624 --> 00:03:25,792
One of the things that we notice
about this creature was the
43
00:03:25,824 --> 00:03:29,472
strange features around it's mouth.
It looked like a beak,
44
00:03:29,504 --> 00:03:33,376
and actually looked like we didn't
know what was going on here,
45
00:03:33,408 --> 00:03:36,383
was it a griffin? Was it a creature?
Was it a giant turtle?
46
00:03:36,384 --> 00:03:41,664
But indeed, that was decaying flesh
that came away from the skull.
47
00:03:41,728 --> 00:03:45,023
Other features were the
strange looking feet, and the
48
00:03:45,024 --> 00:03:48,255
body, indeed-- because the
picture had no scale in it--
49
00:03:48,256 --> 00:03:50,335
we thought looked enormous.
50
00:03:50,336 --> 00:03:54,719
But on the body, these white
objects here really define the
51
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:59,359
size of flies on the creature,
which then determined a scale.
52
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,239
This creature was very small.
53
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,416
RUEHL: Unfortunately, someone
grabbed the carcass and
54
00:04:04,417 --> 00:04:07,903
supposedly took it to his front
yard, and it ultimately vanished.
55
00:04:07,904 --> 00:04:09,439
So the only evidence we have of
56
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,959
this creature is the photo.
57
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:22,335
But while some researchers theorized
that the so-called Montauk Monster was
58
00:04:22,336 --> 00:04:28,287
the product of modern science,
ancient astronaut theorists
59
00:04:28,288 --> 00:04:32,319
believe the animal could be part
of a long line of genetically-
60
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,767
modified creatures that have
appeared throughout human history.
61
00:04:36,768 --> 00:04:41,279
TSOUKALOS: If the Montauk
Monster is in fact a reality,
62
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:48,767
then that could mean that if
we're able today to create some
63
00:04:48,768 --> 00:04:52,543
very bizarre creatures behind
closed doors in labs all around
64
00:04:52,544 --> 00:04:57,023
the world, it is possible that
our ancestors, especially the
65
00:04:57,024 --> 00:05:02,655
extraterrestrial ancestors,
had the same capability.
66
00:05:02,656 --> 00:05:08,287
Because in ancient texts, we
have numerous references to
67
00:05:08,288 --> 00:05:16,031
monsters, bizarre beings that have
been described in great detail.
68
00:05:16,032 --> 00:05:18,999
NARRATOR: Ancient Greek
artifacts depict terrifying
69
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:35,807
beasts such as the Gorgon... the Hydra...
and the ferocious Cerberus.
70
00:05:35,808 --> 00:05:41,471
And in Homer's epic poem the
Iliad, the Greek author
71
00:05:41,472 --> 00:05:46,112
describes a battle in which the
hero, Bellerophon, slays a
72
00:05:46,144 --> 00:05:50,559
monster called the Chimera.
73
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,704
JASON MARTELL: The Chimera
was a dreaded beast
74
00:05:52,768 --> 00:05:55,776
that wreaked havoc and
terrorized the people of Asia Minor.
75
00:05:55,808 --> 00:05:58,912
Homer described the Chimera
as an immortal beast,
76
00:05:58,944 --> 00:06:02,848
with a lion-like head, a snake tail
and a third goat in the middle
77
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,384
that snored bright fire.
78
00:06:04,448 --> 00:06:08,736
The notion of Chimera as some hybrids
has been part of the human
79
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,336
psyche for a millennium.
80
00:06:10,368 --> 00:06:14,464
I mean, when you think about things,
just the Minotaur, Pegasus,
81
00:06:14,496 --> 00:06:19,584
Anubis... This is something that
either we have imagined or
82
00:06:19,616 --> 00:06:22,080
had been created at one time.
83
00:06:22,112 --> 00:06:27,008
These beings, these monsters serve more
of a kind of an ethical purpose in
84
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,360
mythology than they are catalogs
of something literal.
85
00:06:31,968 --> 00:06:35,360
Because story-telling in fiction are just
a part of what we are as human beings.
86
00:06:39,232 --> 00:06:44,287
But did mythic monsters merely spring
from the imagination of our ancestors?
87
00:06:44,288 --> 00:06:49,087
Or might they have
actually existed?
88
00:06:49,088 --> 00:06:54,144
Ancient alien theorists believe
in their existence and that
89
00:06:54,176 --> 00:06:59,871
evidence can be found in
the relics of the past.
90
00:06:59,872 --> 00:07:03,327
TSOUKALOS: To suggest that
all of these creatures were
91
00:07:03,328 --> 00:07:07,871
nothing else but fantasy, in my
opinion, doesn't really hold
92
00:07:07,872 --> 00:07:11,551
water because our
ancestors weren't stupid.
93
00:07:11,552 --> 00:07:14,048
They depicted what they saw.
94
00:07:17,888 --> 00:07:26,559
We find these mixed hybrid beings all
throughout Egypt as sphinxes, as griffons,
95
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,056
as bizarre creatures that,
according to the the ancient
96
00:07:29,057 --> 00:07:34,303
Egyptian texts, they did exist.
97
00:07:34,304 --> 00:07:39,839
They were not a fantasy of
our ancestors' imagination.
98
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,743
ERICH VON DANIKEN: Just imagine there's a
mother spaceship traveling
99
00:07:43,744 --> 00:07:47,424
in the universe for
centuries and centuries.
100
00:07:47,456 --> 00:07:52,736
Then they find a solar system with a
planet with the possibility of life.
101
00:07:52,768 --> 00:07:54,720
Like the Earth,
102
00:07:54,752 --> 00:07:58,560
and they observe on the Nile a crocodile.
103
00:07:58,592 --> 00:08:02,496
A living creature which obviously
is resisting to the heat.
104
00:08:02,528 --> 00:08:10,080
They observe a lion with his power,
his muscles, and now they start to think
105
00:08:10,112 --> 00:08:15,903
we could use a mixture of these
creatures on another planet,
106
00:08:15,904 --> 00:08:22,431
now by genetical design they start
to create mixed creatures.
107
00:08:22,432 --> 00:08:26,784
Some of these mixed creatures
did exist in the past.
108
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,744
The Griffin was a mythological creature
that had the body of a lion,
109
00:08:31,776 --> 00:08:34,240
with the head and wings of an eagle.
110
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,712
Now the lion is the king of the beasts,
the eagle is the king of birds,
111
00:08:39,744 --> 00:08:42,720
so the Griffin was the king
of all creatures.
112
00:08:43,776 --> 00:08:49,088
The creature is somehow two creatures
put together in a way that defies
113
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,720
normal sense, defies normal explanation. So
the question then is, how did that happen?
114
00:08:54,752 --> 00:08:57,599
NARRATOR: By the mid-19th
century, scientists began to
115
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,536
look at fossil records around
the planet to study how
116
00:09:01,568 --> 00:09:05,471
organisms changed over time.
117
00:09:05,472 --> 00:09:10,367
Naturalist Charles Darwin
theorized that all life-forms
118
00:09:10,368 --> 00:09:14,367
share a common origin and have
evolved over the centuries
119
00:09:14,368 --> 00:09:19,999
through a process called
natural selection.
120
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,383
Might the hybrid monsters of
ancient religion and myth really
121
00:09:24,384 --> 00:09:28,191
have been the result
of evolution?
122
00:09:28,192 --> 00:09:33,216
STANFORD: Darwin's theory of evolution
by natural selection is a mechanism by
123
00:09:33,248 --> 00:09:36,320
which life forms can change
from one into another.
124
00:09:37,248 --> 00:09:42,304
It relies on the principal that
organisms that have certain traits,
125
00:09:42,336 --> 00:09:46,944
permutations may be advantageous
in the struggle for existence
126
00:09:46,976 --> 00:09:48,352
and in the struggle for reproduction.
127
00:09:50,976 --> 00:09:53,952
And those traits are the ones that
will be perpetuated over time,
128
00:09:53,984 --> 00:09:55,488
over many, many generations.
129
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,800
Certain different species can breed
if they are genetically close,
130
00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:08,415
Like the donkey and the horse.
Like the wolf and the dog.
131
00:10:08,416 --> 00:10:13,823
However, cats and dogs will not
mate because, first of all, they
132
00:10:13,824 --> 00:10:17,727
don't have the biochemical
signatures to mate with each
133
00:10:17,728 --> 00:10:22,015
other, and plus their genes
are so different that the
134
00:10:22,016 --> 00:10:25,247
chromosomes just won't line
up properly to reproduce.
135
00:10:25,248 --> 00:10:27,904
It's impossible.
136
00:10:29,632 --> 00:10:31,456
NARRATOR: But if Darwin's
theories on evolution and
137
00:10:31,457 --> 00:10:35,871
natural selection cannot explain
the origins of ancient beasts
138
00:10:35,872 --> 00:10:42,335
and monsters, then where
might they have come from?
139
00:10:42,336 --> 00:10:47,103
Perhaps the answer cannot be
found on Earth, but in a place
140
00:10:47,104 --> 00:10:51,552
much father away.
141
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,616
Southern Pakistan.
142
00:11:00,704 --> 00:11:07,007
In the middle of the Indus River
Valley lie the ruins of Mohenjo-Daro.
143
00:11:07,008 --> 00:11:12,511
This ancient city, whose name
means "mound of the dead," was
144
00:11:12,512 --> 00:11:18,496
one of the largest urban settlements
in the world in 2600 B.C.
145
00:11:18,528 --> 00:11:23,392
RUEHL: The ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro,
146
00:11:23,424 --> 00:11:26,336
we have what appear to be
streets that were made up parallel
147
00:11:26,368 --> 00:11:28,608
and perpendicular to each other,
like a modern city.
148
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,791
The homes actually had their own
toilets and they had a very
149
00:11:33,792 --> 00:11:35,359
sophisticated sewer system.
150
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,807
So it looks like a
very advanced city.
151
00:11:39,808 --> 00:11:42,975
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists have long thought this
152
00:11:42,976 --> 00:11:47,551
site was also the epicenter
of a nuclear explosion that
153
00:11:47,552 --> 00:11:52,415
occurred more than
4,000 years ago.
154
00:11:52,416 --> 00:11:56,447
RUEHL: Skeletons were found
in dead positions as though
155
00:11:56,448 --> 00:11:59,936
there's an instantaneous death,
and some of those skeletons, as
156
00:11:59,968 --> 00:12:06,111
measured by Soviet scientists, had
50 times the normal radioactivity.
157
00:12:06,112 --> 00:12:11,071
They found pottery that had been
fused, then walls were heated to
158
00:12:11,072 --> 00:12:15,071
such an extent they became
vitrified or glasslike,
159
00:12:15,072 --> 00:12:20,799
suggesting some sort of ancient
nuclear weapon involved.
160
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,255
NARRATOR: According to the
Mahabharata, the ancient holy
161
00:12:24,256 --> 00:12:28,607
text of the Hindus, white-hot
smoke rose in infinite
162
00:12:28,608 --> 00:12:32,991
brilliance and reduced
the city to ashes.
163
00:12:32,992 --> 00:12:38,999
Horses were burned by the thousands and
corpses were vaporized by intense heat.
164
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:45,504
TSOUKALOS: And afterwards, a big
silence came over the entire land and
165
00:12:45,536 --> 00:12:48,512
people started to have
boils under the skin.
166
00:12:48,544 --> 00:12:53,536
Their hair started to fall out,
and their nails. There's only one thing
167
00:12:53,568 --> 00:12:54,816
that causes this...
168
00:12:55,776 --> 00:12:58,336
And that is
radiation poisoning.
169
00:12:58,368 --> 00:12:59,872
It's radiation fall out.
170
00:13:02,688 --> 00:13:05,568
So the question then becomes,
when ** happen,
171
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,704
in this place where there's
extreme radiation,
172
00:13:08,736 --> 00:13:13,632
what impact does that have on human
life or on other life present there.
173
00:13:14,272 --> 00:13:16,928
Could this explain, for example,
why creatures were born
174
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,168
with more than one arm,
with more than one leg.
175
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,304
Which then somehow became deified
because even to this day,
176
00:13:22,336 --> 00:13:26,272
we know that in civilizations were
anomalous human beings out born
177
00:13:26,304 --> 00:13:30,688
somehow the touch of God is seen
to be part of this creation.
178
00:13:33,792 --> 00:13:37,408
According to the ancient
Hindu texts, after the
179
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,024
♪♪ Mohenjo-Daro a ♪♪
some flying monster
180
00:13:41,056 --> 00:13:44,928
appeared in the sky,
it was called Garuda.
181
00:13:46,432 --> 00:13:50,848
In the Mahabharata the Garuda
is a massive bird like creature.
182
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:55,680
Red face, red wings, it's so
huge it would black out the Sun.
183
00:13:55,712 --> 00:14:00,192
There are stories that would let a certain
God vision ride on him on occasions.
184
00:14:01,216 --> 00:14:04,896
In each and every time, he would
show up descending from the sky
185
00:14:04,928 --> 00:14:11,456
he would create hurricane winds,
and a ** descent, the Earth would shake,
186
00:14:11,488 --> 00:14:16,672
dust would flap in the air and everyone in
the scene would be absolutely terrified.
187
00:14:18,304 --> 00:14:24,000
Now, here we have a carving
of Garuda and if we look at the top,
188
00:14:24,032 --> 00:14:28,416
yes, they look like feathers, but
at the same time they could be
189
00:14:28,448 --> 00:14:31,136
interpreted as big gigantic flames.
190
00:14:32,736 --> 00:14:37,824
According to Hindu mythology
Garuda is born out of this
191
00:14:37,856 --> 00:14:44,320
cosmic event. There's war and destruction
that happens at the end of every age.
192
00:14:45,792 --> 00:14:48,895
COPPENS: Could this have been
somehow connected to exposures
193
00:14:48,896 --> 00:14:54,623
or to radiation being borne
within a zone of high radiation?
194
00:14:54,624 --> 00:14:57,535
We cannot know the answer, but
we do know that within India and
195
00:14:57,536 --> 00:15:01,343
within Pakistan there are known
zones of higher radiation than
196
00:15:01,344 --> 00:15:03,903
there are normal.
197
00:15:03,904 --> 00:15:08,511
The logic dictates that somehow,
genetic abominations will have
198
00:15:08,512 --> 00:15:10,880
genetic abominations will have
been born within those places.
199
00:15:10,881 --> 00:15:19,359
In fact the site of an ancient
nuclear attack, could it be
200
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:24,895
possible that Garuda was a mutant beast
created as a by-product of intense
201
00:15:24,896 --> 00:15:28,415
radioactivity?
202
00:15:28,416 --> 00:15:31,808
STANFORD: We tend to have a science
fiction view about what mutation is,
203
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,672
we think that mutation is being caused by
radiation and they cause outlandish features
204
00:15:36,704 --> 00:15:41,600
and, and, gigantic size insects...
But in fact, mutations happen all the time.
205
00:15:43,232 --> 00:15:47,872
There's no recorded evidence of any
radiation causing a mutation
206
00:15:47,904 --> 00:15:51,232
which changes at some species
into a different species.
207
00:15:52,672 --> 00:15:56,127
Most of the radiation
mutations are lethal.
208
00:15:56,128 --> 00:16:01,151
NARRATOR: But if, as modern
scientists believe, Garuda was
209
00:16:01,152 --> 00:16:05,727
not likely the result of genetic
mutation, then what could
210
00:16:05,728 --> 00:16:08,895
explain its existence?
211
00:16:08,896 --> 00:16:11,711
TSOUKALOS: The Mahabharata
states that Garuda was born from
212
00:16:11,712 --> 00:16:13,439
this raging inferno.
213
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,607
And what's really intriguing
is the fact that in some text
214
00:16:16,608 --> 00:16:21,823
passages, we can read that the
exterior of Garuda did not
215
00:16:21,824 --> 00:16:25,183
consist of feathers,
but of metal.
216
00:16:25,184 --> 00:16:27,679
Now what kind of a bird is that?
217
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,119
No bird is made of metal,
unless it's a type of machine.
218
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:41,600
VON DANIKEN: Garuda was a flying vehicle.
And Garuda was able to travel to the Moon
219
00:16:41,632 --> 00:16:44,256
and around the Earth
with very, very high speed.
220
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:52,928
Garuda even was able to shock mankind
with lightning, which fell from heaven.
221
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,607
TSOUKALOS: Garuda was considered
to be a snake killer.
222
00:16:56,608 --> 00:17:01,151
In fact, Garuda needed to eat
snakes in order to survive.
223
00:17:01,152 --> 00:17:06,591
Now compare an airplane at the airport
today hooked up to a fuel line.
224
00:17:06,592 --> 00:17:09,952
Isn't that airplane eating Isn't
that airplane eating a snake?
225
00:17:16,512 --> 00:17:21,407
If you see jets take off in the middle
of the night, and there's smoke and
226
00:17:21,408 --> 00:17:27,232
fire coming out of the exhaust,
it looks like a dragon.
227
00:17:27,264 --> 00:17:30,847
It looks like some type of a
mythical creature, especially if
228
00:17:30,848 --> 00:17:37,951
you don't know what you're witnessing
is nuts-and-bolts technology.
229
00:17:37,952 --> 00:17:41,151
So of course you're gonna liken
it to a living creature.
230
00:17:41,152 --> 00:17:47,135
Those ancient aliens knew that
our ancestors would worship them
231
00:17:47,136 --> 00:17:54,111
as gods because they knew that our
ancestors didn't know it was technology.
232
00:17:54,112 --> 00:17:57,951
They thought it was magic, spirituality,
divine intervention, which it
233
00:17:57,952 --> 00:17:59,936
never was.
234
00:18:02,816 --> 00:18:08,863
To the East of India, near the village of
Wucheng in the Sichuan province
235
00:18:08,864 --> 00:18:13,376
of China, similar tales of
flying beasts have also been
236
00:18:13,408 --> 00:18:16,928
found in ancient texts.
237
00:18:19,232 --> 00:18:23,551
In the IV century, historian
Chang Qu reported the
238
00:18:23,552 --> 00:18:27,488
discovery of what were
then called "dragon bones."
239
00:18:28,928 --> 00:18:33,023
RUEHL: A question occurs as to whether
dragons might actually have been actual
240
00:18:33,024 --> 00:18:35,839
dinosaurs that had wings.
241
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,663
I should point out that the wings would
have been lost to the fossil record.
242
00:18:41,664 --> 00:18:44,447
We're just recently talking
about dinosaurs having feathers
243
00:18:44,448 --> 00:18:45,983
and having evolved into birds.
244
00:18:45,984 --> 00:18:49,440
Well, it's possible that some
dinosaurs actually did have
245
00:18:49,472 --> 00:18:51,903
wings and could be
described as dragons.
246
00:18:51,904 --> 00:18:55,039
NARRATOR: But while most
mainstream scientists believe
247
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,655
the remains found were most
likely dinosaur fossils, like
248
00:18:58,656 --> 00:19:03,839
those of the flying pterosaur,
ancient astronaut theorists
249
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:09,631
have another, more
provocative explanation.
250
00:19:09,632 --> 00:19:12,479
COPPENS: Now a creature which
somehow was able to spit fire
251
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,551
obviously is not anyplace in
the animal kingdom of today.
252
00:19:15,552 --> 00:19:19,007
So what we have here is either
an invention which did indeed
253
00:19:19,008 --> 00:19:22,399
spit fire, in which case we're
not confronting a creature here,
254
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,031
but somehow a creation.
255
00:19:24,032 --> 00:19:27,935
Something which was either engineered
by mankind or which was engineered by
256
00:19:27,936 --> 00:19:31,647
extraterrestrials.
257
00:19:31,648 --> 00:19:35,360
NARRATOR: Machines that fly
through the air and spit fire
258
00:19:35,392 --> 00:19:42,911
causing mass destruction, thousands of
casualties and radioactive fallout.
259
00:19:42,912 --> 00:19:47,711
Could the Garuda, and other
so-called flying dragons, really
260
00:19:47,712 --> 00:19:53,247
have been ancient versions of
today's high-tech bomber planes?
261
00:19:53,248 --> 00:19:56,735
Or perhaps something else?
262
00:19:56,736 --> 00:19:59,967
Something even more out Something
even more out of this world?
263
00:19:59,968 --> 00:20:02,912
In March 2010 a
264
00:20:03,008 --> 00:20:13,343
panel of 41 international experts concluded
that the impact of an asteroid that
265
00:20:13,344 --> 00:20:18,496
smashed into Earth at Mexico's
Yucatan Peninsula 65 million
266
00:20:18,528 --> 00:20:22,975
years ago probably triggered
the global climate change that
267
00:20:22,976 --> 00:20:28,255
resulted in the mass extinction
of the Earth's dinosaurs.
268
00:20:28,256 --> 00:20:34,655
But is there also evidence that
some dinosaur species survived?
269
00:20:34,656 --> 00:20:38,591
And if so, might they
also have evolved?
270
00:20:38,592 --> 00:20:40,352
CHILDRESS: Paleontologists tell
us that all these things
271
00:20:40,384 --> 00:20:44,864
have been extinct for 65 million years.
Yet this still crop up.
272
00:20:44,896 --> 00:20:49,951
And they appear to be
prehistoric animals, dinosaurs
273
00:20:49,952 --> 00:20:53,407
literally, that have survived
right down to today.
274
00:20:53,408 --> 00:20:57,759
Much like the coelacanth and
alligators and sharks and
275
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,431
turtles also have survived from
those same prehistoric times.
276
00:21:02,432 --> 00:21:05,759
I believe that ancient
prehistoric monsters are still
277
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,591
living in remote areas of the
world, either in oceans and
278
00:21:10,592 --> 00:21:15,231
lakes or jungle areas today.
279
00:21:15,232 --> 00:21:23,423
In the Highlands of Scotland, the legend
of the Loch Ness monster has long been part
280
00:21:23,424 --> 00:21:25,855
of Celtic and Norse folklore.
281
00:21:25,856 --> 00:21:31,647
Recorded accounts of sightings
can be traced to the year 565,
282
00:21:31,648 --> 00:21:35,007
to the Irish monk St. Columba;
283
00:21:35,008 --> 00:21:40,319
A powerful leader who founded monasteries
in both Ireland and Scotland.
284
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,767
In his journals, Columba wrote
of an encounter with people
285
00:21:44,768 --> 00:21:49,216
bearing a man near the shores
of the now-fabled Loch Ness.
286
00:21:50,592 --> 00:21:55,232
MARTELL: They explained to Father Columba
that the man who died had been swimming
287
00:21:55,264 --> 00:21:57,472
in the lake and was attacked by
the water beast.
288
00:21:57,504 --> 00:22:01,312
Upon hearing this, Father Columba sent
his own follower into the lake,
289
00:22:01,344 --> 00:22:05,440
when the beast came out for this man
Father Columba made the sign of a cross
290
00:22:05,472 --> 00:22:07,968
and commanded the beast
not to harm the man.
291
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,664
The beast fled and was never
seen harming another man again.
292
00:22:16,896 --> 00:22:19,584
A lot of people don't realize
how big Loch Ness is.
293
00:22:19,616 --> 00:22:22,720
It's 23 miles long
and a mile wide and
294
00:22:22,752 --> 00:22:24,992
it's deepest point it's
about 800 feet.
295
00:22:25,024 --> 00:22:30,464
And the water is very, very dark.
And then since so it is the prime location
296
00:22:30,496 --> 00:22:36,384
where conceivably ** often,
they would sor of by pass detection.
297
00:22:38,784 --> 00:22:41,408
When we are confronted with
the Loch Ness monster or any kind
298
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:46,016
of anomalous creature the question
really is, what does it come from?
299
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,359
Is it a remnant of the dinosaur
age or is it something which is
300
00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:52,767
out of this world?
301
00:22:52,768 --> 00:22:54,783
We know that, for example, St.
302
00:22:54,784 --> 00:22:58,207
Columba definitely felt that
lake was sacred and that there
303
00:22:58,208 --> 00:23:03,103
was something present there which had a
religious connotation, which is why he
304
00:23:03,104 --> 00:23:05,375
went to that place
to begin with.
305
00:23:05,376 --> 00:23:07,488
REDFERN: The intriguing thing
is that there actually
306
00:23:07,489 --> 00:23:11,904
have been a significant number of
UFO sightings over the Loch itself.
307
00:23:11,936 --> 00:23:15,711
Of strange, brightly lit objects
hovering over the water late at
308
00:23:15,712 --> 00:23:18,559
night, which clearly aren't
helicopters or aircraft or
309
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,119
meteorites or anything
like that at all.
310
00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:24,512
So in other words, Loch Ness
is a weird and spooky place.
311
00:23:28,096 --> 00:23:31,392
NARRATOR: Could the so-called
sea monsters of Loch Ness
312
00:23:31,424 --> 00:23:36,863
possibly be descendants
of ancient dinosaurs?
313
00:23:36,864 --> 00:23:42,335
Or might it be of another, perhaps,
extraterrestrial origin?
314
00:23:42,336 --> 00:23:47,423
And if so, what might this say
about other mythical sea beasts,
315
00:23:47,424 --> 00:23:50,943
like the seven-headed Sumerian
sea monster the leviathan?
316
00:23:50,944 --> 00:23:55,456
YOUNG: The leviathan is sometimes
describes as a serpent or a crocodile
317
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,640
or a dragon, but it lurks.
It is the gatekeeper to a portal to hell.
318
00:24:00,992 --> 00:24:03,519
And this gateway to hell is
apparently deep in the ocean,
319
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,456
and the leviathan is there and the
leviathan is there forever, lurking.
320
00:24:10,464 --> 00:24:16,511
In Greek myths, the Hydra was described as
an ancient sea serpent with many heads.
321
00:24:16,512 --> 00:24:22,240
It was said to be a descendant
of the Earth goddess Gaia.
322
00:24:22,272 --> 00:24:26,999
YOUNG: Hercules was sent to kill the
Hydra, but it was terribly difficult.
323
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,327
He would slice off the head,
and two heads would form
324
00:24:31,328 --> 00:24:34,175
And he had to ask
help from his nephew.
325
00:24:34,176 --> 00:24:37,599
And his nephew had a brilliant
idea, bring a torch.
326
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,807
Fire might keep the
heads from forming.
327
00:24:39,808 --> 00:24:42,943
So Hercules would bash off one
of the heads, and his nephew
328
00:24:42,944 --> 00:24:46,879
would, essentially, cauterize the
neck so another one wouldn't form.
329
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,887
And in this way, the Hydra
was finally defeated.
330
00:24:49,888 --> 00:24:52,799
COPPENS: In the case of a Hydra,
we have something which
331
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,151
has several heads which is once
again a category of a creature
332
00:24:57,152 --> 00:24:59,615
which you would
expect not so see.
333
00:24:59,616 --> 00:25:02,783
So we're either confronted
here with something which was
334
00:25:02,784 --> 00:25:05,791
genetically engineered or which
genetically went wrong, but
335
00:25:05,792 --> 00:25:10,815
clearly it was of such importance that
it was adhered to in mythology where it
336
00:25:10,816 --> 00:25:14,975
attained a status over the
years, over the centuries, up
337
00:25:14,976 --> 00:25:17,344
years, over the centuries, up
until this moment in time.
338
00:25:17,345 --> 00:25:26,015
According to a Scandinavian legend,
the Kraken are legendary sea monsters
339
00:25:26,016 --> 00:25:30,655
of gargantuan size and are said
to have roamed the seas off the
340
00:25:30,656 --> 00:25:33,727
coasts of Norway and Iceland.
341
00:25:33,728 --> 00:25:38,943
This fearsome beast was infamous
for its attacks on sailing ships.
342
00:25:38,944 --> 00:25:41,216
YOUNG: The danger was not
only being attacked by the
343
00:25:41,217 --> 00:25:45,023
Kraken, they would come up to
the surface, and were enormous;
344
00:25:45,024 --> 00:25:46,464
The size of small islands.
345
00:25:46,465 --> 00:25:51,199
So you could have a collision with a
Kraken that wasn't even out to attack you.
346
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,719
Another great danger was that if
it submerged suddenly, it formed
347
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,223
such a great whirlpool that it
348
00:25:56,224 --> 00:25:58,559
could pull a ship under.
349
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:07,295
Could such legendary sea monsters
have actually existed?
350
00:26:07,296 --> 00:26:13,023
Might they have escaped extinction
in the safety of cold deep waters?
351
00:26:13,024 --> 00:26:16,671
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, there is evidence of
352
00:26:16,672 --> 00:26:22,367
the origin of giant sea creatures in
the sacred texts of the Hebrew Bible.
353
00:26:22,368 --> 00:26:25,023
YOUNG: A very early account
of an encounter with some
354
00:26:25,024 --> 00:26:30,079
kind of monstrous sea creature
is found in the Bible,
355
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,360
the story of Jonah.
356
00:26:31,361 --> 00:26:35,455
Here Jonah was not fulfilling
his destiny, and his punishment
357
00:26:35,456 --> 00:26:38,911
was to be thrown off a
boat into the ocean.
358
00:26:38,912 --> 00:26:42,655
CHILDRESS: Jonah is swallowed
by this giant fish sent by God.
359
00:26:42,656 --> 00:26:46,655
He spends three days and three
nights inside of this giant
360
00:26:46,656 --> 00:26:51,007
fish, and then is spewed out.
361
00:26:51,008 --> 00:26:53,919
RUEHL: If Jonah, a human being,
had been swallowed, he
362
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,023
first of all would have been
ripped up by the creature's
363
00:26:57,024 --> 00:27:01,119
teeth, then been crushed as
it was swallowed, and perhaps
364
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:05,823
stomach acids would have destroyed
his skin and internal organs.
365
00:27:05,824 --> 00:27:08,767
So I propose there's no way
he could have survived being
366
00:27:08,768 --> 00:27:12,767
swallowed by whatever this entity
was, if it was a fish or whale.
367
00:27:12,768 --> 00:27:17,760
TSOUKALOS: So the question I have,
is this truly a description of Jonah
368
00:27:17,792 --> 00:27:21,472
being swallowed up by
a biological animal?
369
00:27:21,504 --> 00:27:26,655
Because in some references, we
can read that the ribs of that
370
00:27:26,656 --> 00:27:30,623
whale were made out
of gleaming bronze.
371
00:27:30,624 --> 00:27:34,463
Now, that, to me, is a
description of some type of
372
00:27:34,464 --> 00:27:40,095
technological device
that was made of metal.
373
00:27:40,096 --> 00:27:44,351
Jonah was, in fact, not
swallowed by a whale, but by a
374
00:27:44,352 --> 00:27:51,455
USO, an unidentified
submersible object.
375
00:27:51,456 --> 00:27:54,367
COPPENS: Jonah disappeared into
an object which was clearly
376
00:27:54,368 --> 00:27:57,823
of a manmade or extraterrestrial
origin, and which was of such a
377
00:27:57,824 --> 00:28:02,015
specific interest that he not
only related the story, but that
378
00:28:02,016 --> 00:28:05,567
thousands of years after it occurred,
we're still talking about it today.
379
00:28:05,568 --> 00:28:09,152
REDFERN: I think we need to look
stories like this at a date level.
380
00:28:09,184 --> 00:28:11,615
Not to real the matter
of just mythology
381
00:28:11,616 --> 00:28:16,384
but to determine if the people reporting
these things actually had real experiences,
382
00:28:16,416 --> 00:28:19,168
but they were just trying to
incorporate into their...
383
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,632
The way they understood the world,
the world at that time.
384
00:28:23,072 --> 00:28:26,655
NARRATOR: Could alien beings
really have lurked beneath the
385
00:28:26,656 --> 00:28:28,959
seas in submersible machines?
386
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,351
If so, why were they there?
387
00:28:32,352 --> 00:28:37,343
Might they have come to share
advanced technology with humans?
388
00:28:37,344 --> 00:28:39,487
Or did they come for another,
389
00:28:39,488 --> 00:28:42,656
perhaps more sinister reason?
390
00:28:49,504 --> 00:28:52,447
Medical University,
Russia, 1954.
391
00:28:52,448 --> 00:28:56,671
Soviet scientist and organ
transplant pioneer Vladimir
392
00:28:56,672 --> 00:29:03,583
Demikhov surgically produces a
fully functioning two-headed dog.
393
00:29:03,584 --> 00:29:08,607
GLENN: What he did was he
took the upper torso of a dog
394
00:29:08,608 --> 00:29:14,400
and grafted it onto the
neck of another dog.
395
00:29:14,432 --> 00:29:19,903
And surprisingly, this creature
lived for a few weeks.
396
00:29:19,904 --> 00:29:29,152
Demikhov brought it to
medical shows as evidence
397
00:29:30,912 --> 00:29:31,616
that he could do this,
that these sort of
398
00:29:31,648 --> 00:29:34,271
hybrids, that these sort
of things could be done.
399
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:38,367
NARRATOR: Although, highly
controversial, the transplant
400
00:29:38,368 --> 00:29:42,815
pioneer's audacious experiments
paved the way for the first
401
00:29:42,816 --> 00:29:47,647
human heart transplant in 1967.
402
00:29:47,648 --> 00:29:51,072
But while the image of
Demikhov's dog is disturbing,
403
00:29:51,104 --> 00:29:55,999
ancient astronaut theorists
believe our early ancestors also
404
00:29:56,000 --> 00:30:01,759
left behind evidence of
equally bizarre creatures.
405
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,344
TSOUKALOS: The great thing about the
ancient alien theory
406
00:30:05,376 --> 00:30:12,512
is that we can compare modern achievements
with stories from our ancient past.
407
00:30:12,544 --> 00:30:18,975
And so if today we're able to
create a two-headed dog with six
408
00:30:18,976 --> 00:30:25,714
legs, is it possible that a similar
creature existed thousands of years ago?
409
00:30:26,085 --> 00:30:27,916
And I say yes.
410
00:30:30,592 --> 00:30:35,647
In the Greek epic poems of Homer's Odyssey
and the Iliad, a vicious three-headed
411
00:30:35,648 --> 00:30:40,864
dog named Cerberus guards the dog named
Cerberus guards the gates of Hades.
412
00:30:44,256 --> 00:30:47,648
According to the myths,
Cerberus was descended
413
00:30:47,776 --> 00:30:50,816
from the Greek gods
Typhon and Echidna.
414
00:30:52,192 --> 00:30:56,991
But might the so-called gods
that created the strange beast
415
00:30:56,992 --> 00:31:01,791
really have been early Earth
visitors misinterpreted as gods,
416
00:31:01,792 --> 00:31:06,079
as ancient alien
theorists believe?
417
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:10,688
RADER: The humans and gods
were kind of still living among
418
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,600
one another, all of this
interbreeding, this fertility
419
00:31:13,632 --> 00:31:19,872
like produces all of these monsters and
you do not want to meet these monsters,
420
00:31:19,904 --> 00:31:21,856
it's another kind of thing you
don't want to encounter.
421
00:31:21,888 --> 00:31:26,720
And if one guard dog is ferocious
and terrifying you can imagine 3
422
00:31:26,752 --> 00:31:29,568
of them, but all on one body.
423
00:31:30,816 --> 00:31:35,392
If Cerberus is a factual creature,
then really what we're talking about
424
00:31:35,424 --> 00:31:40,288
here is somebody with the knowledge and
technology to create a multi headed animal.
425
00:31:40,384 --> 00:31:44,351
And so we are dealing with
extraterrestrial technology.
426
00:31:44,352 --> 00:31:48,159
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
Cerberus and other hybrids, like
427
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:55,071
the griffon, the Egyptian Ammit
or the Greek Chimera, were in
428
00:31:55,072 --> 00:32:00,063
fact created through advanced
alien transplant procedures we
429
00:32:00,064 --> 00:32:02,336
have yet to discover?
430
00:32:02,368 --> 00:32:05,247
COPPENS: Any civilization
which has contacted us in the
431
00:32:05,248 --> 00:32:09,119
past or which is contacting us
today, roughly needs to be at
432
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,015
our level of technological
advancement.
433
00:32:14,016 --> 00:32:16,095
It's probably going to
be a bit beyond that.
434
00:32:16,096 --> 00:32:18,655
And that also means that it's
not just the science of space
435
00:32:18,656 --> 00:32:22,847
travel, but all sciences which are
going to be somewhat more advanced.
436
00:32:22,848 --> 00:32:25,951
So we know that the
extraterrestrial who comes to
437
00:32:25,952 --> 00:32:29,567
Earth from a distant place will
have this medical knowledge.
438
00:32:29,568 --> 00:32:32,671
NOORY: There was some kind
of experimentation going on.
439
00:32:32,672 --> 00:32:34,560
Novelty, a zoo.
440
00:32:34,592 --> 00:32:38,272
Let's see what we can do.
We'll play with these creatures.
441
00:32:38,273 --> 00:32:42,079
Let's take this animal
and give him two heads.
442
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:46,463
Let's take this dragon
and give him wings.
443
00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:48,127
Let's let him breathe fire.
444
00:32:48,128 --> 00:32:49,919
Let's have some fun.
445
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,119
Maybe that's what they did.
446
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,488
NARRATOR: Depictions of
monsters that are half beast,
447
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:03,199
half human can be found dating
as far back as 5000 B.C.
448
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:10,111
The centaur, the Minotaur and
Medusa are all hybrid creatures
449
00:33:10,112 --> 00:33:15,552
described as being created described
as being created by gods.
450
00:33:19,008 --> 00:33:21,344
Researchers point to the origin stories
451
00:33:21,472 --> 00:33:26,976
of these creatures as
further evidence of alien contact.
452
00:33:27,072 --> 00:33:30,944
YOUNG: In Greek mythology, the Centaur
was half human half horse.
453
00:33:30,976 --> 00:33:34,400
The torso of a human would be
joined to a horse at the shoulders.
454
00:33:34,432 --> 00:33:38,400
And this would leave them in
perpetual attention between the
455
00:33:38,432 --> 00:33:42,816
row animal instinct of the horse
and the more civilized morality
456
00:33:42,848 --> 00:33:44,320
of a human consciousness.
457
00:33:44,352 --> 00:33:48,896
And interesting the enough when
we start looking towards mythology
458
00:33:48,928 --> 00:33:51,680
we actually find specifically in the
case of the Minotaur
459
00:33:51,712 --> 00:33:56,352
this has to have been done
specifically by the Gods.
460
00:33:59,712 --> 00:34:03,232
In India, the epic text
the Mahabharatah
461
00:34:03,264 --> 00:34:06,080
details the ancient account
of a Naga.
462
00:34:06,112 --> 00:34:08,832
A half human half snake deity.
463
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:13,248
The Naga was a serpent God in
both Hindu and Buddhist mythology.
464
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,968
It was known to have human
and serpent like traits.
465
00:34:16,032 --> 00:34:19,136
It was also know to be
persecutors of all creatures,
466
00:34:19,168 --> 00:34:21,024
very poisonous and
with great strength.
467
00:34:22,816 --> 00:34:26,176
A question that raises as to
why ETs might create
468
00:34:26,208 --> 00:34:28,768
these various hybrids.
Of course, first of all
469
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,768
point out scientific curiosity.
Once you develop the technology,
470
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,200
you wanna see where you can take it.
Would humans do that?
471
00:34:35,232 --> 00:34:36,896
I think any intelligent beings would.
472
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,936
But they might have created
these very hybrid creatures
473
00:34:39,968 --> 00:34:43,872
tu actually intimidate the
existing human population.
474
00:34:43,904 --> 00:34:45,536
So they would give no trouble.
475
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,632
Or perhaps they created these
creatures so they would be thought as Gods
476
00:34:49,696 --> 00:34:51,008
and be worshiped.
477
00:34:51,328 --> 00:34:55,392
Even if they know they are advanced aliens,
they might ** attention from humans.
478
00:34:55,456 --> 00:35:01,152
Perhaps they wanted some type
of slave labor that would just not be
479
00:35:01,184 --> 00:35:06,560
a dumb animal. By adding human
intelligence to, let's say, a bull,
480
00:35:06,592 --> 00:35:11,360
they could create a creature that would
be able to move quite a bit of weight,
481
00:35:11,392 --> 00:35:17,440
and work without exhaustion but still
have the intelligence to follow rules.
482
00:35:20,608 --> 00:35:27,232
In 1970, scientists from Case Western
Reserve University School of Medicine
483
00:35:27,264 --> 00:35:32,608
led by doctor Robert J. White performed
the highly controversial operation.
484
00:35:33,952 --> 00:35:39,200
Transplanting the head of one monkey
onto the body of another.
485
00:35:41,216 --> 00:35:45,568
He was an excellent surgeon,
superior technician and
486
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,800
had come to ** from Mayo clinic,
where I think he learnt
487
00:35:48,832 --> 00:35:53,632
a really excellent care in the
operating room.
488
00:35:54,688 --> 00:35:59,264
Within this room there's a large amount of
items from my dad's original laboratory.
489
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:05,376
This is a halo, a brain transplant
halo device, it would clamp the brain
490
00:36:05,408 --> 00:36:09,280
in here as such and then he
could actually put the patient in
491
00:36:09,312 --> 00:36:11,872
and complete the transplant
with the body here.
492
00:36:12,672 --> 00:36:15,424
This would hold the brain, the
monkey's brain and
493
00:36:15,456 --> 00:36:17,184
then the transplant could occur here
494
00:36:17,248 --> 00:36:20,416
with the spinal connection and
the connection to the neck, right here.
495
00:36:27,008 --> 00:36:31,040
They transferred the head, it was
essentially a brain transplant,
496
00:36:31,072 --> 00:36:33,120
but taking the whole head.
497
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:40,480
He was able to resort consciousness
to the head of the monkey
498
00:36:40,512 --> 00:36:45,504
who had been transplanted and
kept it alive for approximately 3 days.
499
00:36:46,752 --> 00:36:50,624
The monkey was able to open his eyes,
he was able to hear, see and smell.
500
00:36:50,656 --> 00:36:54,976
And as a result he could show that this
procedure could be done and could work.
501
00:36:55,776 --> 00:37:00,416
Even in our stage on Earth we have
the ability to transplant one head
502
00:37:00,448 --> 00:37:05,856
onto another creature. Now, that certainly
argues to the possibility at the very santities.
503
00:37:05,888 --> 00:37:13,504
Like the Minotaur, the Hydra,
and even the Griffin.
504
00:37:14,496 --> 00:37:17,824
Could be created by
advanced transplantology.
505
00:37:22,656 --> 00:37:26,336
If extraterrestrials visited Earth
in ancient times
506
00:37:26,368 --> 00:37:30,496
might the tales nd depictions
of weird hybrid monsters
507
00:37:30,528 --> 00:37:35,104
actually provide evidence
of alien contact?
508
00:37:35,136 --> 00:37:39,328
Or do they provide clues to
our own future?
509
00:37:40,288 --> 00:37:43,904
A future that may be
closer than we think.
510
00:37:52,704 --> 00:37:59,712
In 2003 Chinese scientist Wishan Cheng
at the Shangai 2nd Medical University
511
00:38:00,512 --> 00:38:04,768
successfully fused human cells
with rabbit eggs.
512
00:38:05,344 --> 00:38:08,704
The embryos were the first
human and animal hybrids
513
00:38:09,088 --> 00:38:11,456
created through genetic engineering.
514
00:38:13,152 --> 00:38:17,824
He took rabbit egg cells and removed all
of the nucleus material from them
515
00:38:17,984 --> 00:38:22,656
all the instructions that tells
them to develop into a rabbit embryo.
516
00:38:24,352 --> 00:38:28,704
She replaced it with a similar
instructions set but from a human cell.
517
00:38:29,632 --> 00:38:35,168
So essentially the embryo was human
with small elements of rabbit.
518
00:38:36,992 --> 00:38:43,072
Why would researchers want to
combine rabbit DNA and human DNA?
519
00:38:44,256 --> 00:38:48,224
The first reason is for medical
research purposes.
520
00:38:48,544 --> 00:38:50,784
Perhaps for organ transplantation...
521
00:38:51,872 --> 00:38:56,672
The second reason is to create
an in-hands human.
522
00:38:57,088 --> 00:39:01,120
That is give the human some sort
of quality that might not have
523
00:39:01,248 --> 00:39:07,712
unless ***. Although is hard
for me to imagine what that would be.
524
00:39:11,008 --> 00:39:16,256
A year later, in 2004 researchers
at Minnesota's Mayo clinic
525
00:39:16,992 --> 00:39:20,800
created pigs with human blood
flowing through their bodies.
526
00:39:21,248 --> 00:39:23,136
One of the animals that is
actually quite close to us
527
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,976
surprisingly enough in terms
of genetics is the pig.
528
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,192
And one of the ideas these
people followed is the idea
529
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,936
of luxury having almost like
pig factories to grow hearts.
530
00:39:36,096 --> 00:39:40,256
The people who need heart transplants and
lately, you know, you have a pig's heart
531
00:39:40,448 --> 00:39:44,800
inserted into your body and, you know,
with certain drugs to prevent the organs
532
00:39:44,896 --> 00:39:47,712
being rejected you could
live a full and viable life.
533
00:39:52,096 --> 00:39:54,176
At this moment in time,
medical technology is able to
534
00:39:54,304 --> 00:39:59,360
create weird situations, genetic
things which shouldn't really happen
535
00:39:59,456 --> 00:40:03,456
and which do not happen unless you
start to make genetic modifications.
536
00:40:03,904 --> 00:40:08,896
This is evidence of manipulation of
the genetically available material.
537
00:40:10,304 --> 00:40:13,248
We are creating hybrid monsters
as we speak.
538
00:40:14,944 --> 00:40:17,184
If modern science today
would be able to create
539
00:40:17,312 --> 00:40:21,632
a hybrid being, a mixed being,
then that would in essence
540
00:40:21,792 --> 00:40:27,200
corroborate the ancient alien theory
because we are merely saying that
541
00:40:27,296 --> 00:40:33,216
what today is being discovered is a
rediscovery of what already took place
542
00:40:33,344 --> 00:40:35,264
thousands of years ago.
543
00:40:37,248 --> 00:40:40,223
Meaning genetic experimentation.
544
00:40:40,224 --> 00:40:49,631
But is there any actual evidence of DNA
splicing in the ancient past?
545
00:40:49,632 --> 00:40:56,287
In 1849, in what is now Iraq,
British archaeologist Austen
546
00:40:56,288 --> 00:41:00,895
Henry Layard uncovered numerous
Sumerian clay tablets inscribed
547
00:41:00,896 --> 00:41:06,943
with cuneiform script
dating to 4000 B.C.
548
00:41:06,944 --> 00:41:10,687
Based on interpretations of the
tablets, ancient astronaut
549
00:41:10,688 --> 00:41:15,039
theorists believe an advanced
race of intelligent beings
550
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:20,831
arrived on Earth 450,000
years ago, during the age of
551
00:41:20,832 --> 00:41:27,295
Neanderthals... and through genetic
engineering, they created Homo Sapiens--
552
00:41:27,296 --> 00:41:32,831
what is commonly referred to
as modern-day human beings.
553
00:41:32,832 --> 00:41:37,664
NOORY: The Sumerians talk about
a civilization that came here from above
554
00:41:37,696 --> 00:41:40,416
on another planet called Nibiru.
555
00:41:40,448 --> 00:41:44,160
And they called these creatures
the Anunnaki.
556
00:41:44,192 --> 00:41:48,672
High level people who came here
to mine for gold.
557
00:41:48,704 --> 00:41:52,320
And in order to do it, they
need to genetically alter the
558
00:41:52,352 --> 00:41:57,247
species that happened to be
on the planet at the time.
559
00:41:57,248 --> 00:42:00,992
They created man according
to the Sumerian texts.
560
00:42:01,024 --> 00:42:06,335
ARMSTRONG: It is not impossible
that we exist as the
561
00:42:06,336 --> 00:42:11,263
result of gene
manipulation experiments.
562
00:42:11,264 --> 00:42:14,879
There are so many stars and
galaxies out there in space that
563
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,359
it's impossible for a scientist
such as myself to say that there
564
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,711
are not alien species out there
who could have visited the Earth
565
00:42:23,712 --> 00:42:25,791
at some point in
the distant past.
566
00:42:25,792 --> 00:42:29,791
So it is entirely possible that
someone or something could have
567
00:42:29,792 --> 00:42:34,591
come along and manipulated
those organisms.
568
00:42:34,592 --> 00:42:38,719
TSOUKALOS: So this inherently
means that if extraterrestrials
569
00:42:38,720 --> 00:42:45,247
tampered with our own DNA, they could
have also tampered with animal DNA.
570
00:42:45,248 --> 00:42:50,879
They could have used all sorts of DNA
from every single animal on planet Earth.
571
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,271
GLENN: The creation of a
chimeric monster is certainly
572
00:42:54,272 --> 00:43:00,735
something that will probably be possible
within the next 20 to 30 years.
573
00:43:00,736 --> 00:43:08,127
We have the technology now to
create these kinds of chimeras,
574
00:43:08,128 --> 00:43:11,807
something that might be perceived
as a monster, but what
575
00:43:11,808 --> 00:43:18,815
we don't have right now is the technology
to bring such a creature to term.
576
00:43:18,816 --> 00:43:21,983
But that's only a
matter of time.
577
00:43:21,984 --> 00:43:24,991
NARRATOR: If the mythical
monsters of the ancient past
578
00:43:24,992 --> 00:43:29,055
really did exist,
what were they?
579
00:43:29,056 --> 00:43:32,063
Messengers from alien gods?
580
00:43:32,064 --> 00:43:35,167
Products of genetic
experimentation?
581
00:43:35,168 --> 00:43:37,759
Biomechanical weapons?
582
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,975
And if they did exist, where
is the physical evidence?
583
00:43:42,976 --> 00:43:46,176
Still buried miles
beneath our feet?
584
00:43:46,447 --> 00:43:54,657
Or are they, in fact, still out there,
somewhere, waiting to return?
