1
00:00:01,482 --> 00:00:03,400
This design has been taken
2
00:00:03,401 --> 00:00:08,113
from a text that's at
least 1,800 years old.
3
00:00:08,114 --> 00:00:11,908
Our vehicle was showing
positive lift,
4
00:00:11,909 --> 00:00:13,326
like an aircraft would.
5
00:00:13,327 --> 00:00:15,286
So the information contained
6
00:00:15,287 --> 00:00:19,082
in the ancient texts
is indeed accurate.
7
00:00:19,083 --> 00:00:22,419
Now, this is a vast medical text
8
00:00:22,420 --> 00:00:24,170
and it's considered
the foundation
9
00:00:24,171 --> 00:00:25,672
of traditional Indian medicine.
10
00:00:25,673 --> 00:00:28,258
Oh, so this is the basis
for Ayurvedic medicine?
11
00:00:28,259 --> 00:00:30,385
Yes. This book was written
12
00:00:30,386 --> 00:00:33,471
more than a 100 years
before Hippocrates,
13
00:00:33,472 --> 00:00:35,306
the father of modern medicine.
14
00:00:35,307 --> 00:00:36,933
Incredible.
15
00:00:36,934 --> 00:00:39,519
There is information
about science,
16
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,396
technology, and medicine
17
00:00:41,397 --> 00:00:43,690
preserved in ancient India.
18
00:00:43,691 --> 00:00:47,110
Where did the ancestors
receive this information?
19
00:00:47,111 --> 00:00:50,363
Aliens.
People from other planet.

21
00:01:19,977 --> 00:01:21,686
India.
22
00:01:21,687 --> 00:01:25,064
Home to over 1.3 billion people.
23
00:01:25,065 --> 00:01:28,526
It is the second most populous
nation in the world.
24
00:01:28,527 --> 00:01:30,612
Although it is home
25
00:01:30,613 --> 00:01:33,490
to some of mankind's
oldest civilizations,
26
00:01:33,491 --> 00:01:36,951
India has, in recent years,
27
00:01:36,952 --> 00:01:40,288
also undergone
rapid modernization.
28
00:01:40,289 --> 00:01:43,625
The city of Bangalore,
for example,
29
00:01:43,626 --> 00:01:45,793
is the headquarters
of literally thousands
30
00:01:45,794 --> 00:01:48,463
of information technology
companies,
31
00:01:48,464 --> 00:01:51,925
and has been ranked as
one of the most high-tech cities
32
00:01:51,926 --> 00:01:54,177
in the world.
33
00:01:54,178 --> 00:01:57,347
But these advancements
also coexist
34
00:01:57,348 --> 00:02:00,350
with the country's
ancient origins.
35
00:02:00,351 --> 00:02:04,062
Roughly 80%
of the Indian population
36
00:02:04,063 --> 00:02:06,856
practices Hinduism.
37
00:02:06,857 --> 00:02:09,359
And for the Hindu faithful,
38
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,820
their gods are not
mythological creatures,
39
00:02:12,821 --> 00:02:14,948
but are real
flesh-and-blood beings
40
00:02:14,949 --> 00:02:18,409
that have, at times,
been present here on Earth.
41
00:02:18,410 --> 00:02:20,203
For the Indian people,
42
00:02:20,204 --> 00:02:23,581
the basis of their religion
is essential
43
00:02:23,582 --> 00:02:26,834
to the fabric of their lives.
44
00:02:26,835 --> 00:02:30,463
Many
of the faithful, to this day,
45
00:02:30,464 --> 00:02:33,800
see these accounts
not as fanciful, but as history.
46
00:02:33,801 --> 00:02:35,593
They take it literally
47
00:02:35,594 --> 00:02:37,845
that the gods
walked among human beings
48
00:02:37,846 --> 00:02:39,806
and conveyed knowledge.
49
00:02:39,807 --> 00:02:41,599
In the Hindu tradition,
50
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,018
these ancient gods
are not considered
51
00:02:44,019 --> 00:02:46,396
just symbolic
or mythical beings.
52
00:02:46,397 --> 00:02:49,983
They are considered
as flesh-and-blood beings
53
00:02:49,984 --> 00:02:53,904
that came down from the sky
and existed in real life.
54
00:02:55,739 --> 00:02:57,865
The foundation of Hinduism
55
00:02:57,866 --> 00:03:01,578
is carefully preserved
in India's most ancient texts.
56
00:03:01,579 --> 00:03:03,788
And according
to their traditions,
57
00:03:03,789 --> 00:03:05,623
these texts are accounts
58
00:03:05,624 --> 00:03:08,501
given directly
by the gods themselves,
59
00:03:08,502 --> 00:03:11,796
and only transcribed by humans.
60
00:03:11,797 --> 00:03:14,632
This collection
includes the Vedas,
61
00:03:14,633 --> 00:03:18,344
or Hindu scriptures, as
well as other manuscripts
62
00:03:18,345 --> 00:03:21,139
written in the early
Sanskrit language.
63
00:03:21,140 --> 00:03:23,600
Vedic scholars suggest knowledge
64
00:03:23,601 --> 00:03:26,769
pertaining to architecture,
science,
65
00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:30,523
technology, weaponry,
and medicine
66
00:03:30,524 --> 00:03:34,485
are preserved in meticulous
detail in these works.
67
00:03:34,486 --> 00:03:36,821
The origins of the Vedic text
68
00:03:36,822 --> 00:03:39,657
goes back to cosmic time.
69
00:03:39,658 --> 00:03:41,117
They have been around
70
00:03:41,118 --> 00:03:44,245
for thousands of thousands
of years.
71
00:03:44,246 --> 00:03:47,206
It is believed
that the knowledge
72
00:03:47,207 --> 00:03:49,792
came directly from gods.
73
00:03:49,793 --> 00:03:52,420
We are seeing
a handbook of the gods.
74
00:03:52,421 --> 00:03:56,299
We are looking at an endowment
from some superior intelligence
75
00:03:56,300 --> 00:03:59,844
that appears to have been given
to us as a very practical guide
76
00:03:59,845 --> 00:04:02,013
in ways that benefit humankind
77
00:04:02,014 --> 00:04:04,641
all across the board.
78
00:04:04,642 --> 00:04:07,977
But if the ancient
texts of India
79
00:04:07,978 --> 00:04:11,522
are truly attributable
to the extraterrestrial gods,
80
00:04:11,523 --> 00:04:14,943
just what information
do they contain?
81
00:04:20,449 --> 00:04:22,825
Sirpur, India.
82
00:04:22,826 --> 00:04:25,662
The Surang Tila Temple.
83
00:04:25,663 --> 00:04:27,580
This structure,
84
00:04:27,581 --> 00:04:30,708
which dates back
to the seventh century AD,
85
00:04:30,709 --> 00:04:33,419
was recently unearthed
after being buried
86
00:04:33,420 --> 00:04:35,171
by a powerful earthquake
87
00:04:35,172 --> 00:04:37,715
that occurred
in the 11th century.
88
00:04:37,716 --> 00:04:40,259
Although the rest of the area
89
00:04:40,260 --> 00:04:43,554
was completely leveled,
the structure itself
90
00:04:43,555 --> 00:04:46,724
remained largely intact.
91
00:04:46,725 --> 00:04:49,102
Archaeologists suggest
92
00:04:49,103 --> 00:04:52,355
that this is due to the advanced
construction techniques,
93
00:04:52,356 --> 00:04:55,775
known as Ayurvedic
or Vedic architecture,
94
00:04:55,776 --> 00:04:58,528
utilized by its builders.
95
00:04:58,529 --> 00:05:01,531
The principles they used
are derived
96
00:05:01,532 --> 00:05:03,783
from the ancient science
of design
97
00:05:03,784 --> 00:05:07,496
that can be traced back
to the ancient Indian texts.
98
00:05:09,498 --> 00:05:11,749
In March 2017,
99
00:05:11,750 --> 00:05:15,503
researcher and ancient astronaut
theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos
100
00:05:15,504 --> 00:05:17,547
traveled to India
101
00:05:17,548 --> 00:05:20,758
to meet with archaeologist
Dr. Arun Sharma,
102
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:22,385
who headed the dig.
103
00:05:22,386 --> 00:05:25,055
This is beautiful.
104
00:05:32,062 --> 00:05:33,731
Mm-hmm.
105
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,490
Really?
106
00:05:44,491 --> 00:05:46,284
Now, is this considered
107
00:05:46,285 --> 00:05:48,162
Ayurvedic architecture,
right here?
108
00:06:01,633 --> 00:06:04,094
That's amazing. Huh.
109
00:06:07,097 --> 00:06:08,431
Okay.
110
00:06:08,432 --> 00:06:11,058
Although much of the site
111
00:06:11,059 --> 00:06:14,187
has been renovated
using modern concrete,
112
00:06:14,188 --> 00:06:16,981
blocks held together
by the Ayurvedic paste
113
00:06:16,982 --> 00:06:18,942
can still be found.
114
00:06:26,408 --> 00:06:29,411
It seems to be almost like a...
s-some type of glue.
115
00:06:44,718 --> 00:06:49,347
The glue-like substance
is said to form a bond
116
00:06:49,348 --> 00:06:52,892
that is at least 20 times
stronger than concrete.
117
00:06:52,893 --> 00:06:55,019
But modern builders
have been unwilling
118
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:58,523
to entertain the notion
that such an ancient concoction
119
00:06:58,524 --> 00:07:01,818
could be superior
to today's building materials.
120
00:07:01,819 --> 00:07:03,528
Wow, look at this.
121
00:07:03,529 --> 00:07:04,904
Beautiful.
122
00:07:04,905 --> 00:07:06,489
The detailed instructions
123
00:07:06,490 --> 00:07:08,491
for making this paste
can be found
124
00:07:08,492 --> 00:07:12,995
in an ancient Indian text
known as the Mayamatam...
125
00:07:12,996 --> 00:07:16,874
A manuscript dedicated
to construction techniques.
126
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:19,710
The information
contained within the document
127
00:07:19,711 --> 00:07:22,755
is understood to have been
passed down to humans
128
00:07:22,756 --> 00:07:27,093
from Mayasura, the ancient
king of the demigods,
129
00:07:27,094 --> 00:07:28,761
who was said to oversee
130
00:07:28,762 --> 00:07:31,347
various construction projects
on Earth,
131
00:07:31,348 --> 00:07:34,101
including cities in the sky.
132
00:07:43,527 --> 00:07:45,236
This, right here?
133
00:07:45,237 --> 00:07:47,029
Curiously,
there is a more astounding
134
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:49,866
earthquake-proof feature
at the site
135
00:07:49,867 --> 00:07:52,076
which indicates
that advanced knowledge
136
00:07:52,077 --> 00:07:55,204
was used in its construction.
137
00:07:55,205 --> 00:07:59,250
Located at key points
within the Surang Tila Temple
138
00:07:59,251 --> 00:08:02,169
are several 80-foot long shafts
139
00:08:02,170 --> 00:08:04,630
designed to form air pockets
140
00:08:04,631 --> 00:08:07,968
that can dissipate the impact
of seismic events.
141
00:08:13,098 --> 00:08:15,309
Yes, please.
142
00:08:16,268 --> 00:08:17,935
All right.
143
00:08:17,936 --> 00:08:19,937
Wow.
144
00:08:19,938 --> 00:08:21,522
Oh, wow, this is big.
145
00:08:21,523 --> 00:08:23,065
It's a huge book.
146
00:08:23,066 --> 00:08:28,155
And-and this text has been
around for 4,500 years?
147
00:08:33,827 --> 00:08:36,872
In your opinion, where
did this knowledge come from?
148
00:08:40,918 --> 00:08:41,919
Uh-huh.
149
00:08:48,550 --> 00:08:51,218
And you think
that this knowledge
150
00:08:51,219 --> 00:08:53,847
originated from the stars?
151
00:08:57,768 --> 00:09:00,019
That's amazing.
152
00:09:00,020 --> 00:09:01,979
According to the Hindu faithful,
153
00:09:01,980 --> 00:09:03,856
the construction techniques used
154
00:09:03,857 --> 00:09:05,608
at the Surang Tila Temple
155
00:09:05,609 --> 00:09:08,945
are just one example
of advanced technology
156
00:09:08,946 --> 00:09:12,406
detailed in the ancient
Sanskrit texts.
157
00:09:12,407 --> 00:09:15,242
Other works are said
to contain information
158
00:09:15,243 --> 00:09:18,996
far beyond the scope
of early man...
159
00:09:18,997 --> 00:09:22,667
Perhaps even providing
concrete proof
160
00:09:22,668 --> 00:09:25,963
of extraterrestrial activity
on Earth.
161
00:09:29,198 --> 00:09:33,062
The Indus Valley.
Northwest India and Pakistan.
162
00:09:33,063 --> 00:09:36,566
June 2011.
163
00:09:36,567 --> 00:09:40,570
Paleontologists discover
a 4,300-year-old skull
164
00:09:40,571 --> 00:09:43,990
featuring multiple
drilled holes in it.
165
00:09:43,991 --> 00:09:47,410
Remarkably, they conclude
166
00:09:47,411 --> 00:09:51,122
these are signs that
brain surgery was performed.
167
00:09:51,123 --> 00:09:55,084
And it even appears that
the operation was successful,
168
00:09:55,085 --> 00:09:58,130
as the wound showed signs
of advanced healing.
169
00:10:00,257 --> 00:10:02,425
In ancient India, they performed
170
00:10:02,426 --> 00:10:05,595
incredible kinds of medicine
171
00:10:05,596 --> 00:10:08,598
and surgical procedures
on people.
172
00:10:08,599 --> 00:10:11,684
Things like
operating on the skull.
173
00:10:11,685 --> 00:10:13,728
What's fascinating
about this is...
174
00:10:13,729 --> 00:10:16,439
is this kind
of advanced medical knowledge
175
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,275
goes way back, way back.
176
00:10:19,276 --> 00:10:21,778
And they were able
to use those techniques
177
00:10:21,779 --> 00:10:23,781
to heal people.
178
00:10:26,367 --> 00:10:29,285
Vedic scholars
suggest that not only
179
00:10:29,286 --> 00:10:32,789
were the ancient Hindus
able to perform brain surgery,
180
00:10:32,790 --> 00:10:36,542
but other
advanced procedures as well.
181
00:10:36,543 --> 00:10:38,795
And much of this
medical knowledge
182
00:10:38,796 --> 00:10:41,464
was set to record
in a Sanskrit text
183
00:10:41,465 --> 00:10:44,634
dating back to 800 BC,
184
00:10:44,635 --> 00:10:47,137
known as the Sushruta Samhita.
185
00:10:49,139 --> 00:10:54,894
In 2017 at a local library
in Mahabalipuram, India,
186
00:10:54,895 --> 00:10:56,854
Giorgio Tsoukalos
187
00:10:56,855 --> 00:10:59,190
meets with fellow
ancient astronaut theorist
188
00:10:59,191 --> 00:11:03,820
Praveen Mohan to take
a closer look at the text.
189
00:11:03,821 --> 00:11:06,698
Now this is a, uh,
vast medical text
190
00:11:06,699 --> 00:11:09,033
that contains information
191
00:11:09,034 --> 00:11:14,205
about more than
11,000 illnesses.
192
00:11:14,206 --> 00:11:17,125
Uh, it talks about
700 medicinal plants,
193
00:11:17,126 --> 00:11:21,713
64 preparations
from mineral resources,
194
00:11:21,714 --> 00:11:24,674
57 preparations
from animal resources,
195
00:11:24,675 --> 00:11:27,010
and it's considered the
foundation of Ayurveda,
196
00:11:27,011 --> 00:11:29,178
the traditional Indian medicine.
197
00:11:29,179 --> 00:11:30,680
Oh, so this is the basis
198
00:11:30,681 --> 00:11:33,349
for Ayurvedic medicine
right here. -Yes, yes.
199
00:11:33,350 --> 00:11:36,519
I was able to find a passage.
I thought you might find it,
200
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:37,854
- you know, interesting.
- Mm-hmm.
201
00:11:37,855 --> 00:11:39,355
Right here.
202
00:11:39,356 --> 00:11:41,482
Now you can see where it says
203
00:11:41,483 --> 00:11:44,777
that surgical operations
are of eight types.
204
00:11:44,778 --> 00:11:51,868
They are incising, excising,
scraping, puncturing,
205
00:11:51,869 --> 00:11:55,121
probing, extracting,
206
00:11:55,122 --> 00:11:58,708
secreting fluids,
and even suturing.
207
00:11:58,709 --> 00:12:02,628
So imagine, we had suturing
2,600 years ago. -Mm-hmm.
208
00:12:02,629 --> 00:12:04,714
And this book was written
209
00:12:04,715 --> 00:12:07,884
more than a hundred years
before Hippocrates,
210
00:12:07,885 --> 00:12:10,219
the father of modern medicine.
211
00:12:10,220 --> 00:12:13,556
That is amazing. And how was
this information obtained?
212
00:12:13,557 --> 00:12:15,725
Like, what's the story
behind this?
213
00:12:15,726 --> 00:12:18,561
Well, the title Sushruta Samhita
214
00:12:18,562 --> 00:12:21,564
means that the author Sushruta
215
00:12:21,565 --> 00:12:23,733
is not really the author.
216
00:12:23,734 --> 00:12:25,818
He did not write this book.
217
00:12:25,819 --> 00:12:30,907
He got this information from
a character called Dhanvantari,
218
00:12:30,908 --> 00:12:34,285
who was an otherworldly being.
219
00:12:34,286 --> 00:12:37,246
Dhanvantari is believed
220
00:12:37,247 --> 00:12:39,415
to be the physician to the gods
221
00:12:39,416 --> 00:12:43,169
and the father
of Ayurvedic medicine.
222
00:12:43,170 --> 00:12:45,963
Dhanvantari himself
has a divine origin
223
00:12:45,964 --> 00:12:48,633
associated with the churning
of the milky ocean.
224
00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:51,302
The churning of the milk of sea
225
00:12:51,303 --> 00:12:54,764
refers to, perhaps, uh,
the Milky Way.
226
00:12:54,765 --> 00:12:57,100
Dhanvantari came out of that
227
00:12:57,101 --> 00:12:59,936
and then he was
the god of medicine.
228
00:12:59,937 --> 00:13:02,855
And he, then, gave this
knowledge of medicine
229
00:13:02,856 --> 00:13:05,274
to human beings.
230
00:13:05,275 --> 00:13:07,110
Dhanvantari was said
231
00:13:07,111 --> 00:13:10,113
to have originated
from the Milky Way.
232
00:13:10,114 --> 00:13:13,116
And so, all of a sudden,
you have a connection
233
00:13:13,117 --> 00:13:15,785
with this deity arriving
from the Milky Way.
234
00:13:15,786 --> 00:13:17,995
Well, what more do you want?
235
00:13:17,996 --> 00:13:19,956
The knowledge contained
in this document,
236
00:13:19,957 --> 00:13:24,669
known as the Sushruta Samhita,
was brought here
237
00:13:24,670 --> 00:13:27,171
by an extraterrestrial visitor.
238
00:13:27,172 --> 00:13:31,050
Ayurvedic medicine is considered
239
00:13:31,051 --> 00:13:35,805
one of the world's oldest and
most detailed healing sciences.
240
00:13:35,806 --> 00:13:39,600
Is it possible that it was
really handed down to mankind
241
00:13:39,601 --> 00:13:41,978
by alien sources?
242
00:13:41,979 --> 00:13:45,273
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
243
00:13:45,274 --> 00:13:48,985
and suggest that other texts
clearly reveal
244
00:13:48,986 --> 00:13:52,447
this extraterrestrial
connection.
245
00:13:55,325 --> 00:13:58,244
Mumbai University.
246
00:13:58,245 --> 00:14:00,246
Kalina, India.
247
00:14:00,247 --> 00:14:02,999
January 2015.
248
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,502
The Indian Science Congress
249
00:14:06,503 --> 00:14:09,839
presents talks on various
technical disciplines
250
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,677
to an audience of some of
India's top engineers.
251
00:14:14,678 --> 00:14:18,306
Included in the list
of presentations
252
00:14:18,307 --> 00:14:22,602
is a lecture on "Ancient Indian
Aviation Technology"
253
00:14:22,603 --> 00:14:26,105
given by retired pilot
and flight instructor
254
00:14:26,106 --> 00:14:29,525
Captain Anand J. Bodas.
255
00:14:29,526 --> 00:14:34,238
In his lecture, Captain Anand
Bodas told young engineers
256
00:14:34,239 --> 00:14:39,076
that they should recreate what
is given in ancient Vedic texts,
257
00:14:39,077 --> 00:14:42,872
because in the field
of aviation,
258
00:14:42,873 --> 00:14:46,375
there are much more
advanced devices mentioned
259
00:14:46,376 --> 00:14:49,337
than what we have today.
260
00:14:49,338 --> 00:14:51,547
This was a very
controversial talk
261
00:14:51,548 --> 00:14:53,382
because you had one camp
that thought
262
00:14:53,383 --> 00:14:56,052
that the ancient civilizations
of India
263
00:14:56,053 --> 00:14:58,221
possessed incredible
flying technology,
264
00:14:58,222 --> 00:15:00,389
yet you then had that other camp
265
00:15:00,390 --> 00:15:02,768
that said this is crazy,
it's nonsense.
266
00:15:04,937 --> 00:15:06,896
But something was going on
267
00:15:06,897 --> 00:15:10,733
many, many, many, many thousands
of years ago,
268
00:15:10,734 --> 00:15:13,569
and they presented evidence
and documented facts
269
00:15:13,570 --> 00:15:15,738
that they had flying machines
270
00:15:15,739 --> 00:15:18,616
that were capable of doing
incredible things.
271
00:15:18,617 --> 00:15:20,619
How did they know this?
272
00:15:24,289 --> 00:15:27,124
Captain Bodas is just the latest
273
00:15:27,125 --> 00:15:29,919
in a long line
of researchers to suggest
274
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,547
that the ancient texts
contained actual information
275
00:15:33,548 --> 00:15:37,343
about lost technology
pertaining to aerial vehicles,
276
00:15:37,344 --> 00:15:40,973
often referred to in the texts
as "vimanas."
277
00:15:43,016 --> 00:15:47,895
In 1895, a full
eight years before
278
00:15:47,896 --> 00:15:51,607
the Wright Brothers successfully
launched their flying machine,
279
00:15:51,608 --> 00:15:53,859
Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Talpade
280
00:15:53,860 --> 00:15:58,322
tested an aircraft he fashioned
based solely on information
281
00:15:58,323 --> 00:16:01,450
gleaned from
the ancient Indian writings.
282
00:16:01,451 --> 00:16:03,619
Talpade, in India,
283
00:16:03,620 --> 00:16:06,455
was a student of
the Vedic scriptures.
284
00:16:06,456 --> 00:16:09,458
And he decided to try
and construct
285
00:16:09,459 --> 00:16:12,378
one of the vimana flying craft
286
00:16:12,379 --> 00:16:15,965
that were seen in the, um,
Vedic scriptures.
287
00:16:15,966 --> 00:16:20,303
The first aircraft of Talpade
288
00:16:20,304 --> 00:16:21,804
was called, "Marutsakha,"
289
00:16:21,805 --> 00:16:24,974
which means,
"friend of the wind."
290
00:16:24,975 --> 00:16:28,144
He was able to fly this aircraft
291
00:16:28,145 --> 00:16:32,606
in front of thousands of people
in Mumbai Beach.
292
00:16:32,607 --> 00:16:34,692
The legend has it
that he flew for,
293
00:16:34,693 --> 00:16:37,111
like, 30 seconds at 1,500 feet.
294
00:16:37,112 --> 00:16:41,240
The Wright brothers only went
120 feet for 12 seconds.
295
00:16:41,241 --> 00:16:46,078
If this is true, that changes
aviation history dramatically.
296
00:16:46,079 --> 00:16:50,041
But even more exciting
is that he based his design
297
00:16:50,042 --> 00:16:52,668
on something written
thousands of years
298
00:16:52,669 --> 00:16:57,048
before mankind even thought
flying was possible.
299
00:16:57,049 --> 00:17:02,178
In 2017, Kavya Vaddadi,
300
00:17:02,179 --> 00:17:05,389
an aircraft design engineer
in Delhi, India,
301
00:17:05,390 --> 00:17:08,434
was able to re-create
the Marutsakha
302
00:17:08,435 --> 00:17:12,855
as a digital 3D model utilizing
the same information contained
303
00:17:12,856 --> 00:17:16,192
in the texts
that Talpade studied.
304
00:17:16,193 --> 00:17:19,695
She shared her digital file
305
00:17:19,696 --> 00:17:22,406
with aerospace systems engineer
Travis Taylor,
306
00:17:22,407 --> 00:17:25,326
so he could 3D print it
in order to test
307
00:17:25,327 --> 00:17:29,205
its aerodynamic properties
in a wind tunnel.
308
00:17:29,206 --> 00:17:31,540
But just how would
this ancient design hold up
309
00:17:31,541 --> 00:17:34,002
when put to the test?
310
00:17:36,534 --> 00:17:38,702
University of
California at Irvine.
311
00:17:38,703 --> 00:17:41,789
April 2017.
312
00:17:44,709 --> 00:17:47,752
Aerospace engineer Travis Taylor
313
00:17:47,753 --> 00:17:49,337
has obtained a model
of an aircraft
314
00:17:49,338 --> 00:17:52,549
whose design specifications
are based solely
315
00:17:52,550 --> 00:17:54,050
on information gleaned
316
00:17:54,051 --> 00:17:56,720
from ancient Indian texts
that are believed
317
00:17:56,721 --> 00:18:01,725
to have been formally set
to writing in 500 BC.
318
00:18:01,726 --> 00:18:06,104
He is going to subject it
to wind tunnel analysis
319
00:18:06,105 --> 00:18:09,317
to determine if it is
a viable flying machine.
320
00:18:11,652 --> 00:18:15,238
So explain to me what we've set
up here with that wind tunnel.
321
00:18:15,239 --> 00:18:18,617
Okay, so this is our
aerospace vehicle model.
322
00:18:18,618 --> 00:18:20,368
It's connected to this boom.
323
00:18:20,369 --> 00:18:22,412
The armature has
a force gauge on it.
324
00:18:22,413 --> 00:18:24,122
But we're gonna have airflow
go past it
325
00:18:24,123 --> 00:18:26,207
at about 50 miles per hour
or so. -Okay.
326
00:18:26,208 --> 00:18:29,127
And then we're gonna measure
forces against it
327
00:18:29,128 --> 00:18:31,922
to determine if, uh,
if it's gonna fly or not.
328
00:18:31,923 --> 00:18:35,592
And so, what are the signs
that you're looking for
329
00:18:35,593 --> 00:18:37,761
in order to determine
whether this is,
330
00:18:37,762 --> 00:18:40,055
- in fact, aerodynamically sound?
- Right.
331
00:18:40,056 --> 00:18:42,891
So we're gonna measure
the, uh, normal force.
332
00:18:42,892 --> 00:18:44,768
And the normal force
is up or down.
333
00:18:44,769 --> 00:18:47,312
Uh, if it starts to move up,
then that'll be exciting,
334
00:18:47,313 --> 00:18:49,439
because it's actually
going to be rising
335
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,399
and that's how you get flight.
You know, when the airplane
336
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,610
turns up, and it starts to move,
it's because it's getting lift.
337
00:18:53,611 --> 00:18:55,236
Uh, the other thing is,
I don't want to see it
338
00:18:55,237 --> 00:18:57,280
going real bad side to side,
339
00:18:57,281 --> 00:18:59,282
or real bad chatter up and down,
340
00:18:59,283 --> 00:19:00,784
because that would mean
it's unstable.
341
00:19:00,785 --> 00:19:02,285
All right. Well, let's do it.
342
00:19:02,286 --> 00:19:03,411
Let's fire her up
and see what happens.
343
00:19:03,412 --> 00:19:04,580
Yeah, let's do it.
344
00:19:12,129 --> 00:19:14,090
- The flow's coming up to speed.
- Yep.
345
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,302
While being subjected
to 50-mile-an-hour winds,
346
00:19:19,303 --> 00:19:21,805
the craft exhibits
a slight lift upwards
347
00:19:21,806 --> 00:19:23,682
yet remains relatively steady.
348
00:19:23,683 --> 00:19:25,183
No side-to-side wobble.
349
00:19:25,184 --> 00:19:28,311
Okay.
350
00:19:28,312 --> 00:19:31,481
Sensors record the
measurements of various forces,
351
00:19:31,482 --> 00:19:34,776
as well as torque and pitch,
to determine
352
00:19:34,777 --> 00:19:38,154
just how aerodynamic
the body is.
353
00:19:38,155 --> 00:19:41,492
It looks very stable.
354
00:19:46,831 --> 00:19:47,998
All right.
355
00:19:47,999 --> 00:19:50,125
So let's look at the results.
356
00:19:50,126 --> 00:19:53,712
So what happened during the test
was the normal force,
357
00:19:53,713 --> 00:19:56,506
which is where
we measure the lift,
358
00:19:56,507 --> 00:20:00,260
it was positive between .03
and .06 pounds of force.
359
00:20:00,261 --> 00:20:02,721
That means we were
measuring lift. -Okay.
360
00:20:02,722 --> 00:20:06,182
So our vehicle
in the wind tunnel experiment
361
00:20:06,183 --> 00:20:09,519
was showing positive lift
like an aircraft would.
362
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,690
Did you expect these results
from a shape that's like that?
363
00:20:13,691 --> 00:20:16,359
Well, the shape looks like
a lifting body to me.
364
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:18,611
But you never know until you
actually do the experiment.
365
00:20:18,612 --> 00:20:21,489
And we have experimental results
now that says it is.
366
00:20:21,490 --> 00:20:23,533
So that's the exciting part.
367
00:20:23,534 --> 00:20:26,661
And-and what do you say
to anyone who questions
368
00:20:26,662 --> 00:20:29,748
the idea that this information
has been taken
369
00:20:29,749 --> 00:20:33,209
from a text that's at least
1,800 years old?
370
00:20:33,210 --> 00:20:35,879
The only thing you can say is
371
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,549
we performed a good
scientific experiment.
372
00:20:39,550 --> 00:20:41,551
And the results were
373
00:20:41,552 --> 00:20:44,846
that the shape
made from those texts
374
00:20:44,847 --> 00:20:47,183
is a viable
aerodynamic structure.
375
00:20:49,518 --> 00:20:51,895
The aircraft model created
376
00:20:51,896 --> 00:20:54,397
using details garnered from
the ancient Indian texts
377
00:20:54,398 --> 00:20:57,525
has proven to be flight-worthy.
378
00:20:57,526 --> 00:21:02,572
Is it possible that, by studying
the ancient Indian texts,
379
00:21:02,573 --> 00:21:06,034
we may be able to recreate
advanced technology
380
00:21:06,035 --> 00:21:10,914
that existed thousands
of years ago in India?
381
00:21:10,915 --> 00:21:13,583
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
382
00:21:13,584 --> 00:21:16,586
that the texts
may also contain details
383
00:21:16,587 --> 00:21:19,882
for advanced spacecraft.
384
00:21:24,011 --> 00:21:27,222
Hindu scholars point out
that stories of space travel
385
00:21:27,223 --> 00:21:29,766
can be found
throughout the pages
386
00:21:29,767 --> 00:21:31,935
of the ancient Sanskrit texts.
387
00:21:31,936 --> 00:21:34,938
There are even detailed accounts
388
00:21:34,939 --> 00:21:37,273
of humans entering flying crafts
389
00:21:37,274 --> 00:21:40,819
and being transported
to other solar systems.
390
00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:44,614
In the ancient text
of Vishnu Purana,
391
00:21:44,615 --> 00:21:49,786
Lord Vishnu decides to take
Dhruva, a human being,
392
00:21:49,787 --> 00:21:53,081
through an interstellar journey.
393
00:21:53,082 --> 00:21:56,417
We know this because
it is specifically stated
394
00:21:56,418 --> 00:21:58,920
that Dhruva
would be taken beyond
395
00:21:58,921 --> 00:22:00,880
planets like Mercury, Venus,
396
00:22:00,881 --> 00:22:04,968
and even beyond
some other stars.
397
00:22:04,969 --> 00:22:06,302
According to the text,
398
00:22:06,303 --> 00:22:09,806
he went past
seven planetary systems
399
00:22:09,807 --> 00:22:11,724
in a physical craft,
400
00:22:11,725 --> 00:22:14,561
and eventually
he reached the solar system
401
00:22:14,562 --> 00:22:17,147
and planet of Vishnu Loka,
402
00:22:17,148 --> 00:22:21,526
the planet that Vishnu
is said to have come from.
403
00:22:21,527 --> 00:22:25,155
So here we have the story
of extraterrestrials taking
404
00:22:25,156 --> 00:22:27,741
a human to another solar system.
405
00:22:30,786 --> 00:22:32,912
Although few details exist
406
00:22:32,913 --> 00:22:35,415
of the craft Dhruva
was transported in,
407
00:22:35,416 --> 00:22:39,169
scholars have noted that
highly specific descriptions
408
00:22:39,170 --> 00:22:43,756
of space vehicles can be found
throughout the texts.
409
00:22:43,757 --> 00:22:46,134
In 2014,
410
00:22:46,135 --> 00:22:48,720
in an article
in the Journal of Engineering
411
00:22:48,721 --> 00:22:50,471
and Innovative Technology
412
00:22:50,472 --> 00:22:52,974
titled "Vedic lon Engine,"
413
00:22:52,975 --> 00:22:56,853
a team of aerospace scientists
posed the theory
414
00:22:56,854 --> 00:23:00,398
that what is being described
in a 1,000-year-old text
415
00:23:00,399 --> 00:23:03,026
called
the Samarangana Sutradhara
416
00:23:03,027 --> 00:23:06,196
is a modern ion
mercury vortex engine
417
00:23:06,197 --> 00:23:09,699
used for space travel.
418
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:12,327
In the Samarangana
Sutradhara text,
419
00:23:12,328 --> 00:23:15,580
there's a description
of an engine that uses mercury,
420
00:23:15,581 --> 00:23:18,208
and the mercury swirls
in a vortex
421
00:23:18,209 --> 00:23:21,002
and it uses the heat
from, perhaps, solar power
422
00:23:21,003 --> 00:23:25,048
to create some type
of flying capability.
423
00:23:25,049 --> 00:23:30,386
My thought on this is it sounds
a lot like an ion engine.
424
00:23:30,387 --> 00:23:33,056
The concept for ion
engines has actually been around
425
00:23:33,057 --> 00:23:34,390
for more than 100 years.
426
00:23:34,391 --> 00:23:36,893
Now, the way it works
is xenon gas,
427
00:23:36,894 --> 00:23:39,270
which is like helium or neon
but heavier,
428
00:23:39,271 --> 00:23:41,397
is introduced
into a chamber here.
429
00:23:41,398 --> 00:23:44,067
And it's ionized, which means
it's given an electric charge.
430
00:23:44,068 --> 00:23:47,070
And once it has
an electric charge, a voltage
431
00:23:47,071 --> 00:23:50,365
applied between this grid
and one just behind it
432
00:23:50,366 --> 00:23:53,243
causes the xenon to shoot out
of the engine.
433
00:23:53,244 --> 00:23:56,663
Well, the action of the xenon
going out this direction
434
00:23:56,664 --> 00:23:58,998
causes a reaction
that pushes the spacecraft
435
00:23:58,999 --> 00:24:01,084
in the other direction.
436
00:24:01,085 --> 00:24:04,254
And that's how the ion thruster
propels the spacecraft.
437
00:24:04,255 --> 00:24:07,006
You heat the ions up,
438
00:24:07,007 --> 00:24:10,760
and then you accelerate them out
the back end of the spacecraft.
439
00:24:10,761 --> 00:24:12,679
It puts out
a small amount of thrust,
440
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,597
but for a very long time.
441
00:24:14,598 --> 00:24:17,934
And that's why ion engines
are uniquely perfect
442
00:24:17,935 --> 00:24:20,229
for interspace travel.
443
00:24:25,567 --> 00:24:29,654
In 2007, NASA launched
the Dawn spacecraft,
444
00:24:29,655 --> 00:24:33,616
which used a conventional
multistage chemical rocket
445
00:24:33,617 --> 00:24:36,327
to blast off from Earth,
446
00:24:36,328 --> 00:24:38,121
but then switched
to an ion engine
447
00:24:38,122 --> 00:24:42,166
for its journey
through deep space.
448
00:24:42,167 --> 00:24:45,128
Crucial to that mission
was an ion thruster.
449
00:24:45,129 --> 00:24:49,132
And it gets its energy
from solar panels.
450
00:24:49,133 --> 00:24:53,428
So here you have
this solar-powered ion thruster
451
00:24:53,429 --> 00:24:55,805
with this vortex
in the middle of it going out
452
00:24:55,806 --> 00:24:57,307
to the asteroid belt,
453
00:24:57,308 --> 00:25:01,520
and it's described
in Sanskrit texts.
454
00:25:04,815 --> 00:25:06,774
If information detailing
455
00:25:06,775 --> 00:25:10,028
previously lost technology
was purposely left
456
00:25:10,029 --> 00:25:12,196
for humans to rediscover,
457
00:25:12,197 --> 00:25:17,660
are we now sufficiently advanced
to successfully replicate it?
458
00:25:17,661 --> 00:25:21,581
And if so, are there
any other developments beyond
459
00:25:21,582 --> 00:25:24,834
ancient space travel
that scientists have been able
460
00:25:24,835 --> 00:25:26,086
to exploit?
461
00:25:33,344 --> 00:25:40,350
Mahabalipuram, India.
462
00:25:40,162 --> 00:25:42,955
While at a local library
463
00:25:42,956 --> 00:25:46,917
with fellow ancient astronaut
theorist Praveen Mohan,
464
00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:49,340
Giorgio Tsoukalos gets
a firsthand look at early copies
465
00:25:49,341 --> 00:25:53,177
of some of India's most
important ancient texts.
466
00:25:53,178 --> 00:25:54,887
And now let me show you
the other book.
467
00:25:54,888 --> 00:25:57,306
This is the Bhagavad Gita.
468
00:25:57,307 --> 00:26:00,810
Among the most influential
is the Bhagavad Gita,
469
00:26:00,811 --> 00:26:03,521
part of the 13,000-page epic
470
00:26:03,522 --> 00:26:05,147
called the Mahabharata,
471
00:26:05,148 --> 00:26:08,192
which contains
19 individual books.
472
00:26:08,193 --> 00:26:13,364
Historians think this text
was written around 500 BC,
473
00:26:13,365 --> 00:26:16,033
so this book is 2,500 years old.
474
00:26:16,034 --> 00:26:19,537
- Okay.
- But according to "mythology,"
475
00:26:19,538 --> 00:26:23,207
this was supposed to be written
at least 10,000 years ago.
476
00:26:23,208 --> 00:26:25,209
Okay.
477
00:26:25,210 --> 00:26:29,213
It's a very popular book,
and some people even say
478
00:26:29,214 --> 00:26:32,842
atomic science is hidden
in this book.
479
00:26:32,843 --> 00:26:37,388
Not just regular people,
but modern physicists.
480
00:26:37,389 --> 00:26:41,183
So the argument can be made
that the knowledge of,
481
00:26:41,184 --> 00:26:44,729
for example, the atom
is contained in a book -Mm-hmm.
482
00:26:44,730 --> 00:26:48,733
Yes. -...that is at least
2,500 years old?
483
00:26:48,734 --> 00:26:51,235
And some stories say
484
00:26:51,236 --> 00:26:55,740
that it was given
by an otherworldly being. -Yes.
485
00:26:55,741 --> 00:26:57,867
- Okay.
- Even Robert Oppenheimer,
486
00:26:57,868 --> 00:26:59,702
who is the father
of atomic bomb,
487
00:26:59,703 --> 00:27:02,621
uh, was fascinated
by this book. -Mm-hmm.
488
00:27:02,622 --> 00:27:04,874
- Really? Wow.
- Yes.
489
00:27:04,875 --> 00:27:06,793
Okay, that's interesting.
490
00:27:14,092 --> 00:27:17,011
Jornada
del Muerto Desert, New Mexico.
491
00:27:17,012 --> 00:27:20,890
July 16, 1945.
492
00:27:20,891 --> 00:27:24,393
In the middle
of the barren Alamogordo Bombing
493
00:27:24,394 --> 00:27:26,437
and Gunnery Range,
494
00:27:26,438 --> 00:27:32,110
scientists detonate the first
man-made nuclear weapon.
495
00:27:35,947 --> 00:27:40,911
The destruction was comparable
to no other weapon known to man.
496
00:27:42,788 --> 00:27:46,415
The father of the atomic bomb
was J. Robert Oppenheimer,
497
00:27:46,416 --> 00:27:49,460
the leader
of the Manhattan Project,
498
00:27:49,461 --> 00:27:52,296
a secret government program
created
499
00:27:52,297 --> 00:27:55,674
to develop such a weapon.
500
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:59,094
Oppenheimer, when he saw
the successful nuclear test
501
00:27:59,095 --> 00:28:04,475
and realized what a terrible
weapon he was unleashing,
502
00:28:04,476 --> 00:28:06,936
he quoted the Bhagavad Gita's
503
00:28:06,937 --> 00:28:10,482
"I am become death,
the destroyer of worlds."
504
00:28:15,654 --> 00:28:19,490
Oppenheimer's interest
in ancient Sanskrit literature
505
00:28:19,491 --> 00:28:21,492
began while he was a professor
506
00:28:21,493 --> 00:28:24,328
at the University of California,
Berkeley
507
00:28:24,329 --> 00:28:26,288
and was introduced to the texts
508
00:28:26,289 --> 00:28:30,167
by renowned scholar
Arthur W. Ryder.
509
00:28:30,168 --> 00:28:32,127
Under Ryder's tutelage,
510
00:28:32,128 --> 00:28:35,464
Oppenheimer extensively studied
the Vedic scriptures
511
00:28:35,465 --> 00:28:39,009
and became proficient
in Sanskrit.
512
00:28:39,010 --> 00:28:41,679
According to his biographers,
513
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,183
he kept a hardcover of the
Bhagavad Gita on his bookshelf
514
00:28:46,184 --> 00:28:49,854
and was known to give copies
away to his friends as gifts.
515
00:28:49,855 --> 00:28:52,857
One of the ideas that's deep
516
00:28:52,858 --> 00:28:55,192
within the Vedic scriptures,
the Bhagavad Gita,
517
00:28:55,193 --> 00:28:57,862
is the idea of duty.
518
00:28:57,863 --> 00:29:00,322
He felt it was his duty
to do this,
519
00:29:00,323 --> 00:29:03,409
even though it would be
a terrible thing, he realized,
520
00:29:03,410 --> 00:29:06,328
to develop
this new nuclear weapon.
521
00:29:06,329 --> 00:29:10,583
So he believed
he was part of a cosmic cycle
522
00:29:10,584 --> 00:29:13,586
and we had to do this
to advance.
523
00:29:13,587 --> 00:29:18,549
Perhaps he knew that
by developing the atomic bomb,
524
00:29:18,550 --> 00:29:21,468
we were actually reconnecting
with technologies
525
00:29:21,469 --> 00:29:25,891
that we had been exposed to
many thousands of years before.
526
00:29:27,726 --> 00:29:30,936
One of the key ideas
found within the Indian texts
527
00:29:30,937 --> 00:29:35,399
is the concept of the cyclical
nature of existence,
528
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,277
that once we complete
a cosmic cycle,
529
00:29:38,278 --> 00:29:42,072
it just begins once more.
530
00:29:42,073 --> 00:29:44,700
Oppenheimer himself came to see
531
00:29:44,701 --> 00:29:49,204
that he was, in a sense,
fulfilling some ancient destiny
532
00:29:49,205 --> 00:29:51,707
and that this weapon
could ultimately be used
533
00:29:51,708 --> 00:29:54,627
to stop a major war,
which is exactly what happened.
534
00:29:54,628 --> 00:29:57,588
It totally broke the momentum
of World War II.
535
00:29:57,589 --> 00:30:00,799
In that sense, he was seeing
that he was, in some way,
536
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,469
fulfilling a destiny
that came to him
537
00:30:03,470 --> 00:30:06,430
from a seemingly
supernatural source,
538
00:30:06,431 --> 00:30:11,310
i.e. extraterrestrial gods
who influenced ancient India.
539
00:30:11,311 --> 00:30:14,480
If Oppenheimer's work
on the atomic bomb
540
00:30:14,481 --> 00:30:17,983
was inspired
by the ancient Indian texts,
541
00:30:17,984 --> 00:30:21,946
could this mean that similar
weapons actually existed
542
00:30:21,947 --> 00:30:25,951
on Earth thousands of years ago?
543
00:30:31,289 --> 00:30:33,040
Thar Desert.
544
00:30:33,041 --> 00:30:37,753
Rajasthan, India.
1992.
545
00:30:39,102 --> 00:30:43,272
Engineers conducting
soil sampling at a site
546
00:30:43,273 --> 00:30:45,983
where a housing development
was to be built
547
00:30:45,984 --> 00:30:51,655
discover a heavy layer of
radioactive ash under the soil.
548
00:30:51,656 --> 00:30:56,327
Further examination reveals
the contamination stretches
549
00:30:56,328 --> 00:31:00,831
across a three-square-mile area
of the desert.
550
00:31:00,832 --> 00:31:03,292
After cordoning off the area,
551
00:31:03,293 --> 00:31:06,670
scientists unearthed a city
552
00:31:06,671 --> 00:31:10,342
with completely demolished
buildings.
553
00:31:16,181 --> 00:31:19,892
Scientists have
discovered a radioactive ash
554
00:31:19,893 --> 00:31:23,812
that they believe dates
to 8,000 to 12,000 years ago
555
00:31:23,813 --> 00:31:27,858
that shows evidence of a nuclear
blast in ancient times.
556
00:31:27,859 --> 00:31:32,112
This is very interesting
because the Sanskrit texts
557
00:31:32,113 --> 00:31:35,991
describe exactly this type
of occurrence in this era
558
00:31:35,992 --> 00:31:37,994
in ancient times.
559
00:31:39,829 --> 00:31:41,705
In the Ramayana,
560
00:31:41,706 --> 00:31:44,917
one of the major
ancient Sanskrit epics,
561
00:31:44,918 --> 00:31:48,379
a mighty weapon of the god
Brahma called the Brahmastra
562
00:31:48,380 --> 00:31:51,715
is described as a weapon
of immense power
563
00:31:51,716 --> 00:31:54,676
intended to rain down
destruction from above.
564
00:31:54,677 --> 00:31:58,889
Brahma provided this weapon
to the hero Rama
565
00:31:58,890 --> 00:32:03,268
as a last resort after all
conventional means of warfare
566
00:32:03,269 --> 00:32:06,564
failed in his battle
against the demon king.
567
00:32:08,274 --> 00:32:11,693
The Brahmastra
is the deadliest weapon there is
568
00:32:11,694 --> 00:32:13,695
in the history of humankind.
569
00:32:13,696 --> 00:32:18,409
It is like a nuclear device,
uh, that can be detonated,
570
00:32:18,410 --> 00:32:22,037
and then it will have
a very devastating effect.
571
00:32:22,038 --> 00:32:27,209
Once it was fired, its effect
fell on a lot of animals,
572
00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:28,961
and then they dropped dead.
573
00:32:28,962 --> 00:32:31,964
And also, people started
losing their nails,
574
00:32:31,965 --> 00:32:34,967
their hair,
and they could not breathe.
575
00:32:34,968 --> 00:32:41,014
Rama fires the Brahmastra
weapon upon Dhrumatulya.
576
00:32:41,015 --> 00:32:45,936
It is commonly accepted that
this is in Rajasthan,
577
00:32:45,937 --> 00:32:47,062
in Pakistan.
578
00:32:47,063 --> 00:32:53,068
It's the 19th-largest
desert in the world.
579
00:32:53,069 --> 00:32:55,612
Does the layer
of radioactive ash,
580
00:32:55,613 --> 00:32:58,949
recently discovered
in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan,
581
00:32:58,950 --> 00:33:02,619
provide proof that
the stories recorded
582
00:33:02,620 --> 00:33:05,331
in the ancient scriptures
have merit?
583
00:33:09,085 --> 00:33:15,632
Nuclear warfare, space
travel, flying craft...
584
00:33:15,633 --> 00:33:19,303
might there be greater truth
about our technological past
585
00:33:19,304 --> 00:33:22,681
revealed in the ancient
Indian texts?
586
00:33:22,682 --> 00:33:26,351
And if so,
are they simply a guide
587
00:33:26,352 --> 00:33:30,814
to move us forward, as a warning
588
00:33:30,815 --> 00:33:33,735
for mankind's impending fate?
589
00:33:33,944 --> 00:33:35,945
Ranakpur, India.
590
00:33:35,946 --> 00:33:38,614
The Chaumukha Jain Temple.
591
00:33:38,615 --> 00:33:43,744
Built in the 15th century AD,
this place of worship
592
00:33:43,745 --> 00:33:48,416
is dedicated to the Jains' first
teacher god, Rishabhanatha,
593
00:33:48,417 --> 00:33:52,253
who is credited with the task
of civilizing human beings
594
00:33:52,254 --> 00:33:54,922
and teaching them writing,
mathematics,
595
00:33:54,923 --> 00:33:58,010
science and agriculture.
596
00:33:59,761 --> 00:34:02,471
Jainism is an ancient
Indian religion
597
00:34:02,472 --> 00:34:04,765
that predates Hinduism.
598
00:34:04,766 --> 00:34:08,769
Jains and Hindus hold
a similar belief system
599
00:34:08,770 --> 00:34:12,606
relating to the cyclical nature
of the Universe, karma,
600
00:34:12,607 --> 00:34:17,903
and reincarnation,
yet worship different gods.
601
00:34:17,904 --> 00:34:22,491
For Jains, the quest for
knowledge is essential
602
00:34:22,492 --> 00:34:25,077
for their spiritual liberation.
603
00:34:25,078 --> 00:34:29,123
And the iconography of the
temple is meant to symbolize
604
00:34:29,124 --> 00:34:33,836
Rishabhanatha's attainment
of cosmic enlightenment.
605
00:34:33,837 --> 00:34:38,382
The most uncanny feature
in the Temple of Ranakpur
606
00:34:38,383 --> 00:34:40,676
is not on the ground,
it's not on the walls,
607
00:34:40,677 --> 00:34:43,430
but it is on the ceiling.
608
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,811
The ceiling is almost identical
to images
609
00:34:50,812 --> 00:34:53,814
of the Large Hadron Collider,
610
00:34:53,815 --> 00:34:59,112
a particle accelerator
in Switzerland.
611
00:35:02,824 --> 00:35:06,327
If you look
at the carving on the ceiling,
612
00:35:06,328 --> 00:35:09,955
you're seeing something that has
a curious radial structure.
613
00:35:09,956 --> 00:35:12,708
It's circular.
There's bands within bands.
614
00:35:12,709 --> 00:35:14,502
And then you have
all of these lines that go
615
00:35:14,503 --> 00:35:16,128
towards the center.
616
00:35:16,129 --> 00:35:18,756
Now, there is a
more-than-passing similarity
617
00:35:18,757 --> 00:35:22,343
between the carving and what
we're actually seeing
618
00:35:22,344 --> 00:35:25,305
in the Large Hadron Collider.
619
00:35:27,682 --> 00:35:30,851
The 17-mile-long
Large Hadron Collider,
620
00:35:30,852 --> 00:35:35,231
or LHC, is the world's largest
and most powerful
621
00:35:35,232 --> 00:35:38,192
particle accelerator.
622
00:35:38,193 --> 00:35:41,862
It was created to smash
tiny protons together
623
00:35:41,863 --> 00:35:46,784
at speeds of nearly
670 million miles per hour,
624
00:35:46,785 --> 00:35:50,621
roughly the speed of light.
625
00:35:50,622 --> 00:35:54,416
The total energy produced
by the collisions is believed
626
00:35:54,417 --> 00:35:57,795
to reproduce similar states
to those that existed
627
00:35:57,796 --> 00:36:00,005
moments after the Big Bang,
628
00:36:00,006 --> 00:36:04,593
the event that many scientists
believe was responsible
629
00:36:04,594 --> 00:36:06,930
for the creation of the cosmos.
630
00:36:08,765 --> 00:36:12,977
By examining these collisions,
scientists can attempt to answer
631
00:36:12,978 --> 00:36:16,690
the question of just how
the universe began.
632
00:36:18,567 --> 00:36:20,943
The Hadron supercollider:
633
00:36:20,944 --> 00:36:23,154
its purpose is to duplicate,
basically,
634
00:36:23,155 --> 00:36:25,197
conditions of the Big Bang,
635
00:36:25,198 --> 00:36:28,868
when the universe
was first created.
636
00:36:28,869 --> 00:36:32,955
But one of the concerns is
that since we're recreating
637
00:36:32,956 --> 00:36:37,960
conditions like the Big Bang at
the beginning of the universe,
638
00:36:37,961 --> 00:36:39,420
some of the things
running around
639
00:36:39,421 --> 00:36:41,046
at the beginning of the universe
640
00:36:41,047 --> 00:36:43,048
we don't want to encounter.
641
00:36:43,049 --> 00:36:46,218
And this is a very
difficult thing,
642
00:36:46,219 --> 00:36:48,555
to face so many unknowns.
643
00:36:53,310 --> 00:36:57,646
Work on this subatomic
realm, or quantum mechanics,
644
00:36:57,647 --> 00:37:01,775
can be traced to two
scientific pioneers...
645
00:37:01,776 --> 00:37:04,778
Austrian physicist
Erwin Schrodinger,
646
00:37:04,779 --> 00:37:08,616
and German physicist
Werner Heisenberg.
647
00:37:08,617 --> 00:37:12,912
According to biographers,
both Schrodinger and Heisenberg
648
00:37:12,913 --> 00:37:16,457
were highly influenced
by the ancient Indian texts.
649
00:37:16,458 --> 00:37:19,001
Heisenberg is on record saying
650
00:37:19,002 --> 00:37:22,463
quantum theory will not look
so unusual to anyone
651
00:37:22,464 --> 00:37:24,590
who is a student of the Vedanta,
652
00:37:24,591 --> 00:37:26,675
the Hindu sacred scriptures.
653
00:37:26,676 --> 00:37:29,136
Well, why would he say
something like that?
654
00:37:29,137 --> 00:37:31,430
The Hindus had
a very interesting way
655
00:37:31,431 --> 00:37:35,184
of looking at the world,
including this concept
656
00:37:35,185 --> 00:37:38,312
of a quantum reality through
what they call "trutis,"
657
00:37:38,313 --> 00:37:42,650
which appear to be magnificently
tiny particles that ultimately
658
00:37:42,651 --> 00:37:45,778
make up all of physical reality
as we know it.
659
00:37:45,779 --> 00:37:48,739
It is fascinating
how these very old texts
660
00:37:48,740 --> 00:37:51,158
are still relevant today,
661
00:37:51,159 --> 00:37:54,495
and, in fact, may be largely
responsible for the progress
662
00:37:54,496 --> 00:37:57,374
in quantum mechanics
in the early 20th century.
663
00:37:59,334 --> 00:38:00,542
This suggests that the culture
664
00:38:00,543 --> 00:38:01,835
that wrote those texts
665
00:38:01,836 --> 00:38:05,005
had knowledge
of quantum mechanics.
666
00:38:05,006 --> 00:38:08,634
The Hindu texts
in some ways mirrors,
667
00:38:08,635 --> 00:38:12,638
or foreshadows,
things that will come later.
668
00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:16,809
Perhaps these people were being
guided by extraterrestrials
669
00:38:16,810 --> 00:38:19,478
to protect that knowledge,
so that in our time we would
670
00:38:19,479 --> 00:38:23,565
look back at that
and notice the similarity.
671
00:38:23,566 --> 00:38:25,859
And we have to look
at the possibility
672
00:38:25,860 --> 00:38:28,696
that this is an endowment
that has been given to us
673
00:38:28,697 --> 00:38:32,826
by these extraterrestrials
for a greater divine purpose.
674
00:38:34,828 --> 00:38:38,455
The texts could serve
as a window into our future,
675
00:38:38,456 --> 00:38:42,710
and a warning that if we don't
alter the course that we're on,
676
00:38:42,711 --> 00:38:44,838
it could be catastrophic.
677
00:38:47,132 --> 00:38:50,592
If extraterrestrials
instructed our ancestors
678
00:38:50,593 --> 00:38:53,303
to record lost advanced
technological knowledge
679
00:38:53,304 --> 00:38:55,389
and principles,
680
00:38:55,390 --> 00:38:58,225
was it meant to serve
as a guidebook
681
00:38:58,226 --> 00:39:01,687
to our scientifically
enlightened age?
682
00:39:01,688 --> 00:39:04,523
Or might it, instead,
be a warning
683
00:39:04,524 --> 00:39:09,028
to prevent us from repeating
the mistakes of the past?
684
00:39:09,029 --> 00:39:12,406
If so, what do the texts say
685
00:39:12,407 --> 00:39:15,827
about where
mankind is headed next?
686
00:39:21,018 --> 00:39:22,853
New Delhi, India.
687
00:39:24,813 --> 00:39:28,024
Scholars at the National
Mission of Manuscripts
688
00:39:28,025 --> 00:39:30,443
set out to translate
and preserve
689
00:39:30,444 --> 00:39:33,029
what they estimate to be
over four million
690
00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:36,949
rare ancient texts related
to various disciplines,
691
00:39:36,950 --> 00:39:39,869
including ancient science.
692
00:39:39,870 --> 00:39:43,664
Many of these texts have been
preserved on palm leaves,
693
00:39:43,665 --> 00:39:46,709
and are believed to be scattered
in obscure locations
694
00:39:46,710 --> 00:39:48,669
throughout the subcontinent.
695
00:39:48,670 --> 00:39:52,923
Currently, less than ten percent
of the ancient writings
696
00:39:52,924 --> 00:39:55,092
of India have been published.
697
00:39:55,093 --> 00:39:57,678
And no one is certain
what secrets lie hidden
698
00:39:57,679 --> 00:40:00,974
in these remaining
undeciphered manuscripts.
699
00:40:02,601 --> 00:40:05,394
Is it possible that
the road map for our future
700
00:40:05,395 --> 00:40:08,064
is yet to be revealed
by studying
701
00:40:08,065 --> 00:40:10,733
these ancient Indian texts?
702
00:40:10,734 --> 00:40:13,819
These texts should be consulted
703
00:40:13,820 --> 00:40:18,532
as we evolve into a world that
is full of so many unknowns,
704
00:40:18,533 --> 00:40:23,245
and the Vedic scriptures are
a vast storehouse of knowledge.
705
00:40:23,246 --> 00:40:27,083
And by not consulting them,
who knows...
706
00:40:27,084 --> 00:40:29,836
We may be missing
something vital.
707
00:40:31,505 --> 00:40:33,297
We would be well served
708
00:40:33,298 --> 00:40:36,675
to go back to the Hindu texts
709
00:40:36,676 --> 00:40:40,012
and recognize that perhaps
we've been here before.
710
00:40:40,013 --> 00:40:45,017
The Vedic text offers the key
to us to move forward.
711
00:40:45,018 --> 00:40:47,937
Conversely, it could well be
that ignoring it
712
00:40:47,938 --> 00:40:50,106
will be at our own peril,
713
00:40:50,107 --> 00:40:53,150
and that we could, in fact,
face our end.
714
00:40:53,151 --> 00:40:55,778
What I really think
is important here
715
00:40:55,779 --> 00:40:59,990
is that we pay more attention
to these ancient texts,
716
00:40:59,991 --> 00:41:02,326
and try to learn
what we can from them,
717
00:41:02,327 --> 00:41:05,121
because this is the gods,
the extraterrestrials,
718
00:41:05,122 --> 00:41:07,124
giving us this information.
719
00:41:10,085 --> 00:41:12,044
Do the voices of the gods,
720
00:41:12,045 --> 00:41:15,172
as written in the pages
of India's ancient texts,
721
00:41:15,173 --> 00:41:20,136
really contain information
left for us to discover,
722
00:41:20,137 --> 00:41:22,638
or do they convey knowledge
723
00:41:22,639 --> 00:41:25,850
that we were meant to avoid?
724
00:41:25,851 --> 00:41:27,726
For ancient astronaut theorists,
725
00:41:27,727 --> 00:41:29,520
one fact is certain...
726
00:41:29,521 --> 00:41:32,898
That mankind's
extraterrestrial past
727
00:41:32,899 --> 00:41:37,403
provides the key to its future.
728
00:41:37,404 --> 00:41:41,365
A future that will either see us
successfully avoid
729
00:41:41,366 --> 00:41:43,659
the mistakes of our ancestors,
730
00:41:43,660 --> 00:41:46,120
or warn us
of the deadly mistakes
731
00:41:46,121 --> 00:41:51,333
we are destined... to repeat.
