If an asteroid really was responsible for a worldwide flood... 103 00:07:22,944 --> 00:07:26,072 scientists say it would have to have been as large... 104 00:07:26,155 --> 00:07:29,784 as the one that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs... 105 00:07:29,867 --> 00:07:32,036 which measured eight miles wide... 106 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,707 and struck the Earth with a force five billion times more powerful... 107 00:07:36,791 --> 00:07:39,877 than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. 108 00:07:44,090 --> 00:07:46,217 [ Man ] There are many ancient texts... 109 00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:50,721 that tell us that there wasn't just a flood... 110 00:07:50,805 --> 00:07:55,268 but there was also a conflagration, a period of fire... 111 00:07:55,351 --> 00:08:00,314 when the Earth was bombarded with firestorms, the gods bringing them down... 112 00:08:00,398 --> 00:08:04,360 and that this period was then followed by a flood. 113 00:08:05,486 --> 00:08:08,489 And it would seem that fragments of this comet... 114 00:08:08,573 --> 00:08:10,533 vaporized the ice sheets... 115 00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:14,078 that had been covering large parts of the northern hemisphere... 116 00:08:14,162 --> 00:08:16,831 for tens of thousands of years... 117 00:08:16,914 --> 00:08:22,503 sending all of the water up into the atmosphere, which then rained down... 118 00:08:22,587 --> 00:08:26,924 perhaps even for 4O days, 4O nights, like the Bible tells us. 119 00:08:31,345 --> 00:08:34,932 [ Narrator] According to those scientists who subscribe to this theory... 120 00:08:35,016 --> 00:08:38,186 the fires that might have occurred just before the flood... 121 00:08:38,269 --> 00:08:42,648 would have left behind an ash layer in the earth all over the world. 122 00:08:43,941 --> 00:08:48,571 This distinctive ash layer, which scientists call the Usselo horizon... 123 00:08:48,654 --> 00:08:53,492 could be the ultimate proof that the great flood really occurred... 124 00:08:53,576 --> 00:08:57,330 and researchers believe they may have discovered it. 125 00:09:01,459 --> 00:09:04,879 Just outside the small Belgian town of Lommel... 126 00:09:04,962 --> 00:09:07,924 author and researcher Andrew Collins... 127 00:09:08,007 --> 00:09:11,010 follows local archaeologist Ferdi Geerts... 128 00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:15,765 to the site of a mysterious black layer of soil excavated by a mining company. 129 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,730 I can already see a black layer in the soil here. 130 00:09:22,813 --> 00:09:28,361 It's about just under a meter down, three to four feet. 131 00:09:29,695 --> 00:09:34,283 And are we looking here at the Usselo horizon? 132 00:09:34,367 --> 00:09:35,868 - Is this it? - [ Man ] Yes. 133 00:09:35,952 --> 00:09:39,830 At the end of the ditch, we see a peat layer. 134 00:09:39,914 --> 00:09:43,251 At the top of the peat layer, there is some charcoal. 135 00:09:43,334 --> 00:09:46,128 - Right. Can we go down and look at this? - Yes. 136 00:09:48,589 --> 00:09:50,925 [ Narrator] Collins and Geerts get a closer look... 137 00:09:51,008 --> 00:09:54,595 which allows them to determine that this dark layer of soil... 138 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,099 seems to date to the end of the last ice age- 139 00:09:58,182 --> 00:10:02,770 about the same time the Usselo horizon ls supposed to have formed. 140 00:10:03,354 --> 00:10:08,025 If we come down from the surface here, which is obviously the modern day... 141 00:10:08,109 --> 00:10:10,987 there is this accumulation of sand... 142 00:10:11,070 --> 00:10:14,532 over a period of around 13,000 years... 143 00:10:14,615 --> 00:10:17,576 that takes us back to this point here. 144 00:10:17,660 --> 00:10:21,789 - The black is a layer, and the white is sand. - Yeah. 145 00:10:21,872 --> 00:10:24,292 - We call that a soil horizon. - Yeah. Okay. 146 00:10:25,793 --> 00:10:29,297 [ Narrator] According to Geerts, this black layer dates back... 147 00:10:29,380 --> 00:10:33,551 to the time period when a global flood may have devastated Earth. 148 00:10:33,634 --> 00:10:35,469 But what is it made of? 149 00:10:36,345 --> 00:10:38,889 Collins and Geerts dig into the soil... 150 00:10:38,973 --> 00:10:42,643 and discover that it is, indeed, charcoal. 151 00:10:42,727 --> 00:10:45,980 This is the Usselo horizon, and to Collins... 152 00:10:46,063 --> 00:10:51,485 it's confirmation that the catastrophe described in the Bible was real. 153 00:10:51,569 --> 00:10:55,239 This is physical evidence... 154 00:10:55,323 --> 00:10:59,785 of that flood, of that conflagration. 155 00:10:59,869 --> 00:11:03,414 This is your absolute evidence... 156 00:11:03,497 --> 00:11:05,833 that this event took place. 157 00:11:05,916 --> 00:11:08,586 This is the evidence of the cataclysm. 158 00:11:10,421 --> 00:11:11,941 [ Narrator] Could the Usselo horizon... 159 00:11:12,006 --> 00:11:15,593 a possible impact crater in the Indian Ocean... 160 00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:19,930 and sea fossils at Puma Punku all be proof... 161 00:11:20,014 --> 00:11:24,727 that the ancient story of a great flood is not a myth-.. 162 00:11:24,810 --> 00:11:27,730 But that it is based on actual events? 163 00:11:28,689 --> 00:11:32,234 And if so, could the rest of the story- 164 00:11:32,318 --> 00:11:35,488 In which God' sent' a flood to annihilate the human race- 165 00:11:35,571 --> 00:11:38,282 be true as well? 166 00:11:38,366 --> 00:11:43,996 This suggests that a great flood did in fact happen, that it was real. 167 00:11:45,414 --> 00:11:49,460 But then it also presents us with an intriguing possibility. 168 00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:51,712 It is entirely possible that... 169 00:11:51,796 --> 00:11:56,967 there is an extraterrestrial origin to this terrible flood. 170 00:12:01,305 --> 00:12:05,559 [ Narrator] Could it be that the great flood described in so many ancient texts... 171 00:12:05,643 --> 00:12:09,730 really did occur at the end of the last ice age? 172 00:12:09,814 --> 00:12:14,527 And if so, could it have been brought on by extraterrestrial beings? 173 00:12:16,028 --> 00:12:18,989 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes... 174 00:12:19,073 --> 00:12:21,659 and claim that evidence of this can be found... 175 00:12:21,742 --> 00:12:25,704 at the top of one of the world's most sacred mountains. 176 00:12:33,629 --> 00:12:38,426 [ Narrator] Laurel, Maryland.
