The ancient Egyptians had
a very deep, soul technology.

Throughout history, there are tales
of miraculous resurrections...

but are there people who have really
returned from the dead?
9
00:00:35,537 --> 00:00:41,501
And if so, might they have had help
from extraterrestrial beings?
10
00:00:41,584 --> 00:00:46,047
If you want to think of the technology
that extraterrestrials might have...
11
00:00:46,130 --> 00:00:50,593
they could have the ability
to resurrect the dead, if need be.

Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?

the secret to resurrection?

Phoenix, Arizona...

1991.
19
00:01:50,945 --> 00:01:54,949
Singer/songwriter Pam Reynolds
is being rushed into surgery...
20
00:01:55,033 --> 00:01:58,411
to repair a bulging arterial wall
in her brain stem...
21
00:01:58,494 --> 00:02:02,540
that is about to burst and kill her instantly.

The surgical team of 20 decides
there is only one course of action:
24
00:02:11,883 --> 00:02:16,137
In order to save her life,
they must first end it.

[Continuous Beeping]
26
00:02:19,766 --> 00:02:24,812
Pam Reynolds had a massive aneurysm
ready to essentially rupture at any moment...
27
00:02:26,105 --> 00:02:29,067
and so physicians needed to reduce
the pressure in those vessels...
28
00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:30,902
so that they could work on them.
29
00:02:30,985 --> 00:02:35,657
So they took blood out of her body
and cooled it slowly, so recirculating.
30
00:02:36,324 --> 00:02:39,452
What that does is, it sort of tricks
the body's cells...
31
00:02:39,535 --> 00:02:43,873
into slowing down their metabolism
and not realizing that they're lacking oxygen...
32
00:02:44,499 --> 00:02:48,419
which, of course, buys physicians
and emergency workers some time...
33
00:02:48,503 --> 00:02:52,632
to go in and repair the person's body while
they're in a sort of hyper-cooled state...
34
00:02:52,715 --> 00:02:55,093
where they're essentially not alive.

00:02:56,010 --> 00:03:00,306
[ Narrator ] For nearly an hour,
Pam Reynolds lies on the operating table...
36
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:03,935
with her heart stopped,
no blood pumping through her body...
37
00:03:04,018 --> 00:03:07,271
and no brain-wave activity at all.
38
00:03:07,355 --> 00:03:10,149
According to the traditional
medical definition...
39
00:03:10,233 --> 00:03:12,193
she is dead.
40
00:03:13,444 --> 00:03:18,574
Five hours later, when doctors successfully
finished their groundbreaking surgery...
41
00:03:18,658 --> 00:03:22,912
they slowly pump warm blood
back into Reynolds's body.
42
00:03:22,995 --> 00:03:25,540
Her heart starts to beat again...
43
00:03:25,623 --> 00:03:28,584
and her brain stem begins
responding to stimuli.
44
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:34,757
But when she regains consciousness,
Reynolds tells a shocking story...
45
00:03:34,841 --> 00:03:38,678
about a journey she says she made
into the afterlife.
46
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:47,603
She remembers mingling
with deceased relatives and angelic beings...
47
00:03:47,687 --> 00:03:49,647
in a celestial netherworld-
48
00:03:51,065 --> 00:03:57,113
a transcendent experience that ended
only when doctors revived her.

00:03:57,905 --> 00:04:00,742
Pam Reynolds's case,
and other cases of resuscitation...
50
00:04:00,825 --> 00:04:03,703
sort of call into question
what it means to be alive.
51
00:04:05,747 --> 00:04:08,249
They were sort of
introducing new technologies...
52
00:04:08,332 --> 00:04:11,919
that were, I think, a little more of the
distinction of what does it mean to be dead.

[Monitor Beeping]

If you want to use the term “resurrection,”
I think it could be applied in that case.

[ Narrator]
Does the resurrection of Pam Reynolds...
56
00:04:21,512 --> 00:04:26,017
reveal evidence that human consciousness
can exist beyond death?
57
00:04:27,268 --> 00:04:34,025
If so, could this mean that within each of us
there really is such a thing as an immortal soul...
58
00:04:34,108 --> 00:04:37,487
and might it even be identifiable
by science?
59
00:04:39,113 --> 00:04:42,325
Two prestigious scientists
have developed a theory...
60
00:04:42,408 --> 00:04:46,496
that describes exactly how consciousness
could continue to exist...
61
00:04:46,579 --> 00:04:48,790
after the brain has ceased to function.

Oxford University's Roger Penrose...
63
00:04:51,918 --> 00:04:55,505
and Stewart Hameroff
from the University of Arizona...
64
00:04:55,588 --> 00:04:59,300
believe that quantum particles
in the brain and nervous system...
65
00:04:59,383 --> 00:05:02,637
could comprise what we call consciousness.
66
00:05:03,763 --> 00:05:06,933
The theory is that there may actually be...
67
00:05:07,016 --> 00:05:09,685
a real physical structure in your brain.
68
00:05:09,769 --> 00:05:11,646
They're called microtubules...
69
00:05:11,729 --> 00:05:13,815
and they're small enough...
70
00:05:13,898 --> 00:05:18,820
that all the weird
quantum mechanical effects can occur.
71
00:05:18,903 --> 00:05:24,242
These quantum mechanical effects
may be what gives rise to consciousness.
72
00:05:25,576 --> 00:05:31,332
But even after you died,
that information isn't lost.
73
00:05:31,415 --> 00:05:36,045
It still continues
as a quantum mechanical state...
74
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:40,007
and that may be what is giving rise
to consciousness.
75
00:05:42,844 --> 00:05:45,680
[ Narrator]
If Penrose and Hameroff are correct...
76
00:05:45,763 --> 00:05:49,976
and our consciousness can exist
after our physical body dies...
77
00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:54,355
does this explain why near-death
experiences like Pam Reynolds's...
78
00:05:54,438 --> 00:05:58,109
are reported by millions of people
around the world?
79
00:05:59,527 --> 00:06:03,948
They have, usually, a feeling of peacefulness,
positive emotions.
80
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:06,284
They feel like they're leaving their body.
81
00:06:06,367 --> 00:06:10,872
They sometimes see sort of a tunnel
with a light at the end.
82
00:06:11,539 --> 00:06:14,750
They sometimes feel
one with the universe.
83
00:06:14,834 --> 00:06:18,963
They sometimes see relatives
who have passed away.
84
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:22,049
So it's a common, universal experience
that happens to people...
85
00:06:22,133 --> 00:06:24,635
who are either near or close to death...
86
00:06:24,719 --> 00:06:26,512
or even technically dead.
87
00:06:30,057 --> 00:06:32,935
[ Narrator] Some physicians believe
near-death experiences...
88
00:06:33,019 --> 00:06:39,066
could be triggered by hypoxia, a lack of
oxygen in the brain that can cause visions.
89
00:06:40,401 --> 00:06:42,778
But other researchers disagree.
90
00:06:42,862 --> 00:06:45,948
They point out that those
who have these experiences...
91
00:06:46,032 --> 00:06:49,535
see events occurring around them
that are later confirmed to have happened...
92
00:06:49,619 --> 00:06:52,747
and that their perceptions
are not dulled in a way...
93
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:55,750
that would be consistent
with a dying brain.
94
00:06:57,376 --> 00:06:59,295
Perhaps even more significant...
95
00:06:59,378 --> 00:07:02,506
a recent study found
that the near-death experience...

00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:06,177
was remarkably similar

at Oxford University...
98
00:07:10,097 --> 00:07:12,767

00:07:15,269 --> 00:07:19,565
Vedic India, pre-Buddhist China,
pre-Colombian Mesoamerica-
101
00:07:19,649 --> 00:07:23,110
that there are similar reports
of near-death experience...
102
00:07:23,194 --> 00:07:26,113
that certain details keep cropping up-
103
00:07:26,197 --> 00:07:28,574
that the person in this experience...
104
00:07:28,658 --> 00:07:30,576
encounters beings of light...
105
00:07:30,660 --> 00:07:34,538
even though the belief systems
about death...
106
00:07:34,622 --> 00:07:36,749
were very different in these cultures.
107
00:07:36,832 --> 00:07:41,545
This suggests that there might be something
about the mystical experience at death...
108
00:07:41,629 --> 00:07:45,800
that is stronger
than the cultural stories that hold it.
109
00:07:47,635 --> 00:07:50,596
[ Narrator] But why are accounts
of near-death experiences...
110
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,517
so similar across so many different cultures?
111
00:07:55,059 --> 00:07:59,814
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that the answer may lie with the fact...
112
00:07:59,897 --> 00:08:04,026
that these beings of light encountered
in many near-death experiences...
113
00:08:04,110 --> 00:08:08,781
are remarkably similar to the descriptions
of extraterrestrials...
114
00:08:08,864 --> 00:08:11,450
in alien abduction reports.
115
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,746
Could these two types
of ethereal entities...
116
00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:17,873
actually be the same?
117
00:08:18,916 --> 00:08:22,044
[Man ] The common ground
is the tunnel of bright white light...
118
00:08:23,421 --> 00:08:26,007
and beings wearing shiny garments...
119
00:08:26,090 --> 00:08:28,259
or bright white garments of light...
120
00:08:28,342 --> 00:08:31,012
that either stand before that gateway...
121
00:08:31,095 --> 00:08:33,347
or are actually in it.
122
00:08:33,431 --> 00:08:36,559
And you have to wonder,
is it possible that in reality...
123
00:08:36,642 --> 00:08:40,271
the afterlife is just another dimension
or another plane of existence...
124
00:08:40,354 --> 00:08:44,650
that is inhabited, that's navigable
and is accessible...
125

not only by those
in the afterlife realm...
126
00:08:47,028 --> 00:08:50,740
but also by living extraterrestrial beings.
127
00:08:51,782 --> 00:08:56,120
I think that both near-death experiences
and abduction experiences...
128
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:59,540
are coordinated
by the same higher reality.

In the Hebrew Bible, Elijah is portrayed...
136

as a great prophet
and a powerful warrior...
137
00:09:32,406 --> 00:09:35,034
who slaughters the followers
of the god Baal...
138
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,955
yet he is perhaps best known
not for putting people to death...
139
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:43,167
but for bringing them back to life.
140
00:09:44,085 --> 00:09:47,421
In the biblical book I Kings, chapter 17
we actually have the story...
141
00:09:47,505 --> 00:09:49,090
of the prophet Elijah...
142
00:09:49,173 --> 00:09:52,676
who takes a widow's son who had died...
143
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,764
and lays on him three times
and then prays to God...
144
00:09:56,847 --> 00:09:59,100
and the son comes back to life.
145
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:03,521
Was this a miracle from the hand of God?
146
00:10:03,604 --> 00:10:08,484
Was there some kind
of a medical involvement here?
147
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:13,280
There was some clear physical intervention...
148
00:10:13,364 --> 00:10:15,199
on behalf of Elijah.
149
00:10:15,282 --> 00:10:17,618
That's all this text tells us.
150
00:10:17,701 --> 00:10:22,957
But we know that Elijah
was a great mystic and esotericist.
151
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,379
He possessed a power cloak, called his
pala-garment, which means “power garment.”
152
00:10:28,462 --> 00:10:30,756
He ultimately ascended into the heavens...
153
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,509
in a whirlwind like a spacecraft
while wearing this...
154
00:10:33,592 --> 00:10:38,556
so you have to ask, is there some kind of
otherworldly or extraterrestrial technology...
155
00:10:38,639 --> 00:10:41,433
that Elijah had access to?
156
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,356
[ Narrator]
Ancient astronaut theorists point out...
157
00:10:47,439 --> 00:10:51,277
that similar resurrections occur
in religions around the world...
158
00:10:52,319 --> 00:10:54,488
from the Hindu god Krishna...
159
00:10:54,572 --> 00:10:58,242
to the Aztec deity Quetzalcóatl.
160
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:03,205
They believe these gods may, in fact,
have been extraterrestrial beings...
161
00:11:03,289 --> 00:11:05,666
sent to Earth on a mission.
162
00:11:07,585 --> 00:11:10,337
When you read the stories
of the celestials or extraterrestrials...
163
00:11:10,421 --> 00:11:11,881
that came in the ancient past...
164
00:11:11,964 --> 00:11:14,842
they were always delivering
these forbidden teachings...
165
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:19,680
about crossing that boundary
into a beautiful and glorious realm...
166
00:11:19,763 --> 00:11:21,932
and one of their purposes in coming here...
167
00:11:22,016 --> 00:11:25,603
is to teach us how
to cross over that boundary.
168
00:11:28,105 --> 00:11:32,860
[ Narrator] Is it possible that some ancient
accounts of gods rising from the dead...
169
00:11:32,943 --> 00:11:35,613
are not actually divine events...
170
00:11:35,696 --> 00:11:39,992
but rather examples
of extraterrestrial technology?
171
00:11:40,826 --> 00:11:44,371
And if so, are there stories
in which ancient cultures...
172
00:11:44,455 --> 00:11:47,208
regularly performed resurrections?
173
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,295
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe astounding answers...
174
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:54,840
can be found buried in the Sahara Desert.
175
00:12:02,556 --> 00:12:06,310
Low Earth orbit, September 2007.
176
00:12:08,229 --> 00:12:12,149
An experiment aboard
a Russian Photon-M3 spaceship...
177
00:12:12,233 --> 00:12:17,029
is trying to determine how resurrection
works in the natural world.
178
00:12:18,489 --> 00:12:23,535
It contains dozens of microscopic animals,
called “tardigrades”...
179
00:12:23,619 --> 00:12:26,080
The tardigrades are
a class of organisms...
180
00:12:26,163 --> 00:12:29,458
that we refer to as “extremophiles,”
meaning they can withstand...
181
00:12:29,541 --> 00:12:32,503
extreme stresses
that would kill most organisms.
182
00:12:32,586 --> 00:12:37,091
[ Narrator] On Earth, tardigrades
are almost impossible to kill.
183
00:12:37,174 --> 00:12:39,969
They can survive temperatures
far above boiling...
184
00:12:40,052 --> 00:12:41,845
and far below freezing...
185
00:12:41,929 --> 00:12:44,765
by shedding almost all water in their cells.
186
00:12:45,849 --> 00:12:48,185
The tardigrade
is a really interesting creature...
187
00:12:48,269 --> 00:12:51,605
and it's actually evolved
to have this amazing ability...
188
00:12:51,689 --> 00:12:55,234
to go into these deep states
of what you might call hibernation.
189
00:12:55,317 --> 00:12:58,195
They're able to survive
in really harsh conditions...
190
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:02,616
but there's still metabolism going on,
just very, very slowed down.
191
00:13:04,535 --> 00:13:06,161
[ Narrator]
On this mission...
192
00:13:06,245 --> 00:13:11,709
scientists want to see if they can survive
long blasts of solar radiation...
193
00:13:11,792 --> 00:13:15,671
so they're placed outside the capsule
for 12 days.
194
00:13:16,297 --> 00:13:19,883
They become inert,
but are they actually dead?
195
00:13:19,967 --> 00:13:22,636
[Fisher ] They were brought
back to Earth, hydrated.
196
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,515
We think they also have a really good,
very efficient DNA repair mechanism...
197
00:13:26,598 --> 00:13:29,935
because they essentially come back to life,
often rather rapidly.
198
00:13:30,019 --> 00:13:32,354
Scientists do refer to that
as a resurrection.
199
00:13:35,733 --> 00:13:39,570
[ Narrator ] There's a curious parallel
to the tardigrade in the ancient world-
200
00:13:40,321 --> 00:13:43,615
a dead creature that was preserved
by removing all liquids...
201
00:13:43,699 --> 00:13:45,784
while it awaited resurrection:
202
00:13:47,077 --> 00:13:49,538
Egyptian mummies.
203
00:13:49,621 --> 00:13:51,665
In preparation for the afterlife...
204
00:13:51,749 --> 00:13:54,752
the ancients removed all blood,
water and organs...
205
00:13:54,835 --> 00:13:56,962
from a body they planned to mummify
206
00:13:58,422 --> 00:14:00,924
In order to preserve a body...
207
00:14:01,008 --> 00:14:05,512
you cannot leave organs in the body
that are going to rot the body...
208
00:14:06,055 --> 00:14:08,807
and the Egyptians learned that very quickly.
209
00:14:08,891 --> 00:14:11,685
And they knew which organs
had to be removed...
210
00:14:11,769 --> 00:14:14,688
and that the blood
had to be drained from the body...
211
00:14:14,772 --> 00:14:19,109
to preserve the body
for potential resurrection.
212
00:14:24,198 --> 00:14:26,742
[ Narrator ]
If the body was properly prepared...
213
00:14:26,825 --> 00:14:31,205
the Egyptians believed its soul would start
its long and arduous journey...
214
00:14:31,288 --> 00:14:32,873
into the afterlife.
215
00:14:33,874 --> 00:14:35,376
There were a lot of rules.
216
00:14:35,459 --> 00:14:39,338
There was a lot of very specific navigation
that needed to take place...
217
00:14:39,421 --> 00:14:44,385
in order to get your soul from death
into this afterlife.
218
00:14:45,511 --> 00:14:50,057
Sometimes these rules were so difficult
that they would be written down...
219
00:14:50,140 --> 00:14:54,686
and oftentimes we find them written
on the insides of the tops of coffins.
220
00:14:55,562 --> 00:14:59,566
[ Henry]
At Saqqara is where we find the Pyramid Texts...
221
00:14:59,650 --> 00:15:02,694
some of the oldest religious texts
in the world.
222
00:15:02,778 --> 00:15:08,283
They're devoted to the concept of how
to not only preserve the human body...
223
00:15:08,367 --> 00:15:11,995
but to prepare the soul
for journeying into the stars.
224
00:15:13,122 --> 00:15:16,041
The ancient Egyptians made it clear
that they were in contact...
225
00:15:16,125 --> 00:15:18,836
with extraterrestrial civilizations...
226
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,965
and in particular, one god, Ptah,
came from Sirius.
227
00:15:23,048 --> 00:15:26,552
Now, Ptah is also the god,
the ancient Egyptians said...
228
00:15:26,635 --> 00:15:30,597
who crafted, or fashioned,
the human body.
229
00:15:30,681 --> 00:15:33,183
He is also the god of technology.
230
00:15:33,892 --> 00:15:35,436
So when you put all this together...
231
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:39,273
it sure sounds like Ptah
taught the ancient Egyptians...
232
00:15:39,356 --> 00:15:41,900
how to resurrect the body...
233
00:15:41,984 --> 00:15:43,485
and travel the cosmos.
234
00:15:46,572 --> 00:15:50,242
[ Narrator] Is it possible,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest...
235
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:53,912
that the Egyptians' complex beliefs
about resurrection...
236
00:15:53,996 --> 00:15:56,373
came from the extraterrestrial beings...
237
00:15:56,457 --> 00:16:00,794
that they believed had visited
their civilization in the past?
238
00:16:00,878 --> 00:16:03,213
It's very possible that when we look
at the Egyptians...
239
00:16:03,297 --> 00:16:06,717
performing their very intricate
mummification process...
240
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,886
this is something
that they might have witnessed.
241
00:16:08,969 --> 00:16:12,973
Maybe they didn't fully understand
the process of what made it possible...
242
00:16:13,056 --> 00:16:15,642
but they would do their best to mimic it...
243
00:16:15,726 --> 00:16:19,146
and that's exactly what we see
with mummification.
244
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:24,151
[ Narrator] But if the Egyptians believed
the soul traveled through the cosmos...
245
00:16:24,234 --> 00:16:27,696
why did they make such an effort
to preserve the corpse ?
246
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:31,742
According to their texts,
the ancient Egyptians...
247
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:35,120
believed the soul was made up
of five parts.
248
00:16:35,787 --> 00:16:40,667
The two most important were
the “ba ” and “ka. ”
249
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:44,588
The ba journeyed into the afterlife...
250
00:16:44,671 --> 00:16:47,090
while the ka remained in the body.
251
00:16:47,174 --> 00:16:50,219
The proper preparation
of a corpse during burial...
252
00:16:50,302 --> 00:16:53,055
was essential to success in the afterlife.
253
00:16:54,181 --> 00:17:00,187
That is, the ka needed a properly
prepared body in which to dwell...
254
00:17:00,270 --> 00:17:04,816
and if that body, if that vessel,
isn't properly maintained...
255
00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:08,529
that person could die
a second death in the afterlife.
256
00:17:09,363 --> 00:17:11,615
[ Narrator] Most scholars say
the Egyptians believed...
257
00:17:11,698 --> 00:17:16,578
resurrection involved the soul
being born again in the afterlife...
258
00:17:16,662 --> 00:17:19,665
rather than being
physically resurrected on Earth.
259
00:17:21,041 --> 00:17:26,380
The ultimate objective was for the ba
to unite with its twin...
260
00:17:26,463 --> 00:17:28,298
or “ka” as they called it...
261
00:17:28,382 --> 00:17:32,135
and form a third entity
that they called the “Akh”-
262
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:36,265
the shining one, the shining being...
263
00:17:36,348 --> 00:17:40,727
that was then capable of traveling
the stars as a celestial being.
264
00:17:41,395 --> 00:17:43,897
So this is suggesting
that the ancient Egyptians...
265
00:17:43,981 --> 00:17:49,069
had a very deep soul technology
or a way of transforming the soul...
266
00:17:49,152 --> 00:17:51,738
certainly prying it out of the body...
267
00:17:51,822 --> 00:17:54,199
uniting it with its twin self...
268
00:17:54,283 --> 00:17:56,618
and creating a light-being form.
269
00:17:57,744 --> 00:18:00,163
[ Narrator] But could it be
that the Egyptians believed...
270
00:18:00,247 --> 00:18:03,500
that the part of the soul
that remained within the body...
271
00:18:03,584 --> 00:18:05,877
could be resurrected as well?
272
00:18:06,587 --> 00:18:10,841
Might this be why they went to such
great lengths to preserve the body-
273
00:18:10,924 --> 00:18:13,093
because they believed
there would be a time...
274
00:18:13,176 --> 00:18:16,179
when they would be bodily resurrected
here on Earth?
275
00:18:18,265 --> 00:18:23,228
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes
and suggest further evidence...
276
00:18:23,312 --> 00:18:28,108
that this was knowledge taught to our
ancestors by otherworldly visitors...
277
00:18:28,191 --> 00:18:32,779
can be found by examining stories
from the African rain forest-
278
00:18:32,863 --> 00:18:36,533
stories of real-life zombies.
279
00:18:43,248 --> 00:18:47,002
The Kingdom of Kongo, 1482.
280
00:18:48,128 --> 00:18:51,048
Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão...
281
00:18:51,131 --> 00:18:54,259
is the first European to sail
up the Congo River...
282
00:18:54,343 --> 00:18:57,554
into the heart
of this ancient African nation.
283
00:18:58,805 --> 00:19:01,975
Despite the dense rain forest
on both sides of the river...
284
00:19:02,059 --> 00:19:06,104
Cão spends months
exploring this unknown land...
285
00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,315
and meeting its inhabitants.
286
00:19:10,984 --> 00:19:14,154
After he reports his discoveries back home...
287
00:19:14,237 --> 00:19:18,408
the king of Portugal dispatches
waves of missionaries to the region.
288
00:19:18,492 --> 00:19:23,288
The goal is to convert tribesmen
from their ancient religion of Vodun...
289
00:19:23,372 --> 00:19:25,666
to Catholicism.
290
00:19:27,459 --> 00:19:30,587
You have to remember,
this isn't too long after the Crusades...
291
00:19:30,671 --> 00:19:35,842
so Europe had already sort of went
right from the Crusades into colonialism...
292
00:19:35,926 --> 00:19:39,429
and one of the big projects was not
just to get land and money and slaves-
293
00:19:39,513 --> 00:19:41,014
although that was it-
294
00:19:41,098 --> 00:19:44,643
but also to gain souls, converts,
for the Catholic Church.
295
00:19:47,521 --> 00:19:49,356
[ Narrator]
Over the next century...
296
00:19:49,439 --> 00:19:53,944
European missionaries had great success
turning the Kingdom of Kongo...
297
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:56,196
into a Catholic land.
298
00:19:57,114 --> 00:20:01,118
Their belief that a sky god created
the Earth and its inhabitants...
299
00:20:01,201 --> 00:20:04,079
is changed to the Catholic origin story...
300
00:20:05,706 --> 00:20:08,959
but the locals hold on
to some of their beliefs...
301
00:20:09,042 --> 00:20:13,547
including a concept which is also held
by the ancient Egyptians-
302
00:20:13,630 --> 00:20:15,966
that people have more than one soul.
303
00:20:16,883 --> 00:20:19,511
We have what's called “the big soul”
and “the little soul”...
304
00:20:19,594 --> 00:20:23,473
and one of them is responsible for what we
normally think of as our personality-
305
00:20:23,557 --> 00:20:25,684
what makes you you,
what makes me me-
306
00:20:25,767 --> 00:20:28,937
but the other one is more
of a basic sort of soul...
307
00:20:29,020 --> 00:20:31,898
that animates us;
it gets the flesh moving.
308
00:20:32,899 --> 00:20:37,821
They speak of us as each having
a lesser angel and a greater angel.
309
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:41,241
At the time of death,
the lesser angel stays with the body.
310
00:20:41,324 --> 00:20:42,993
It doesn't know what to do.
311
00:20:43,076 --> 00:20:45,746
But the greater angel leaves the body.
312
00:20:50,083 --> 00:20:54,254
[ Narrator] As missionaries convert
much of the population to Christianity...
313
00:20:54,337 --> 00:20:57,591
traditional bokors, or witch doctors...
314
00:20:57,674 --> 00:21:01,219
are forced to perform
some Vodun ceremonies in secret.
315
00:21:03,096 --> 00:21:06,349
European missionaries
hear astounding stories...
316
00:21:06,433 --> 00:21:12,397
that these witch doctors use ancient rituals
and traditional knowledge to raise the dead...
317
00:21:12,481 --> 00:21:17,944
creating automatons
that are later dubbed “zombies.”
318
00:21:18,028 --> 00:21:23,116
The idea of the zombies is that they
actually have only one of these two souls.
319
00:21:23,617 --> 00:21:25,952
They've passed on, they've died,
and they've been resurrected...
320
00:21:26,036 --> 00:21:27,913
but only with the soul
that animates us...
321
00:21:27,996 --> 00:21:32,584
so they're lacking in that personality
and in that personal feelings and things.
322
00:21:32,667 --> 00:21:35,337
With zombiism, it is then-
323
00:21:35,420 --> 00:21:37,714
Only the physical body...
324
00:21:37,798 --> 00:21:41,176
is resurrected in a sense...
325
00:21:41,802 --> 00:21:46,264
and the personalities, that part of the soul,
has completely disappeared.
326
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:52,896
[ Narrator]
Could these stories have been true?
327
00:21:52,979 --> 00:21:58,777
And if so, might this be proof that both
the Egyptians and the tribes of the Kongo...
328
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:01,530
were correct in their belief
that our consciousness...
329
00:22:01,613 --> 00:22:04,366
is divided into separate parts?
330
00:22:06,076 --> 00:22:07,994
But how could witch doctors...
331
00:22:08,078 --> 00:22:12,666
who lived hundreds of years ago
with no access to modern technology...
332
00:22:12,749 --> 00:22:15,585
have been able to breathe life
into the dead...
333
00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:21,174
reviving just the part of the soul
responsible for animating the flesh?

that African myths
suggest voodoo magic...

originated with the sky gods...

00:22:29,850 --> 00:22:34,604
and their emissaries to Earth,
known as “orishas” or “loas.”
338
00:22:35,605 --> 00:22:38,191
[Man ] The topic of the orishas
is very interesting to me...
339
00:22:38,275 --> 00:22:43,238
because they are looked upon
as these divine messengers-
340
00:22:43,321 --> 00:22:46,074
messengers of knowledge-
341
00:22:46,157 --> 00:22:48,368
and the stories are very clear...
342
00:22:48,451 --> 00:22:51,413
that the orishas arrived from the sky.
343
00:22:52,205 --> 00:22:56,668
And what I find interesting
is that in many of the old carvings...
344
00:22:56,751 --> 00:22:59,379
that we can find in wood, for example...
345
00:22:59,462 --> 00:23:04,759
they are depicted in sitting in
these weird craft, that look like craft...
346
00:23:04,843 --> 00:23:09,180
and that they all seem to feature
these elongated skulls.
347
00:23:12,017 --> 00:23:15,228
[ Narrator] Is it possible
that these African sky gods...
348
00:23:15,312 --> 00:23:17,814
were actually extraterrestrials...
349
00:23:17,898 --> 00:23:21,443
that not only taught the natives
the secrets of the soul...
350
00:23:21,526 --> 00:23:25,655
but also showed them
how to resurrect the dead?
351
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:30,243
And could this be the origin
of our modern-day stories of zombies?
352
00:23:31,244 --> 00:23:33,121
[ Henry]
Perhaps through the centuries...
353
00:23:33,204 --> 00:23:37,083
these original teachings
of these celestial beings were lost.
354
00:23:37,167 --> 00:23:40,337
Sorcerers and magicians
in Africa and elsewhere...
355
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:44,591
began mimicking or trying to copy
what the originals had done...
356
00:23:44,674 --> 00:23:47,093
and had a limited degree of success.
357
00:23:47,177 --> 00:23:49,054
They were able to create zombies.
358
00:23:49,137 --> 00:23:50,764
But the source is clear:
359
00:23:50,847 --> 00:23:54,434
These teachings originally came
from celestial beings.
360
00:23:55,101 --> 00:23:58,605
[Man] Maybe some of
the extraterrestrials had an accident...
361
00:23:58,688 --> 00:24:03,068
so the extraterrestriaIs helped him,
like a doctor would do today...
362
00:24:03,151 --> 00:24:05,278
and the natives watched it.
363
00:24:05,362 --> 00:24:07,739
They could not understand
what was going on in medicine...
364
00:24:07,822 --> 00:24:09,491
and they copied it.
365
00:24:11,785 --> 00:24:16,414
[ Narrator] Were African witch doctors
mimicking the technology of their sky gods...
366
00:24:16,498 --> 00:24:19,626
when they tried to bring the dead
back to life?
367
00:24:20,794 --> 00:24:24,839
And if so, are there stories
in which both parts of the soul...
368
00:24:24,923 --> 00:24:27,592
have been successfully resurrected?
369
00:24:28,718 --> 00:24:32,389
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
further evidence can be found...
370
00:24:32,472 --> 00:24:35,141
by exploring ancient Hindu beliefs...
371
00:24:35,225 --> 00:24:39,521
in which the conscious self
can be reborn in a new body.
372
00:24:47,529 --> 00:24:50,073
Delhi, India, 1930.
373
00:24:52,993 --> 00:24:57,288
Four-year-old Shanti Devi telIs her family
that in a previous life...
374
00:24:57,372 --> 00:24:59,499
she was a woman named Lugdi Bai...
375
00:24:59,582 --> 00:25:03,461
and that she had lived
in the nearby village of Muthura.
376
00:25:05,505 --> 00:25:09,092
At first they dismissed the story
as a childhood fantasy...
377
00:25:09,175 --> 00:25:11,678
but she knows so much
about this other world...
378
00:25:11,761 --> 00:25:15,056
that she eventually convinces them
she's telling the truth...
379
00:25:15,140 --> 00:25:18,143
and they journey
to Lugdi Bai's former village.
380
00:25:18,226 --> 00:25:23,690
[Childress] She actually went to meet
her previous husband and her other wife.
381
00:25:23,773 --> 00:25:25,859
He also, after talking to her...
382
00:25:25,942 --> 00:25:30,613
believed that she was the reincarnation
of his previous wife...
383
00:25:30,697 --> 00:25:32,699
who had died in childbirth.
384
00:25:32,782 --> 00:25:38,038
And then, eventually, Mahatma Gandhi
got involved in this whole story.
385
00:25:38,121 --> 00:25:40,749
He had an investigation made...
386
00:25:40,832 --> 00:25:44,252
and Gandhi himself
said that he was satisfied...
387
00:25:44,335 --> 00:25:48,631
that she was the reincarnation
of this other woman.
388
00:25:50,508 --> 00:25:56,056
[ Narrator] Could Lugdi Bai have died
and been reincarnated as Shanti Devi?
389
00:25:57,348 --> 00:26:00,143
The Hindu faithful believe reincarnation-
390
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:04,856
a spiritual resurrection in which a soul
is reborn in a new body-
391
00:26:04,939 --> 00:26:08,234
happens to almost everyone after death.
392
00:26:09,069 --> 00:26:14,115
[Man ] When the soul goes up and then
it has to be born into something else...
393
00:26:14,199 --> 00:26:15,742
in another light life form...
394
00:26:15,825 --> 00:26:21,247
so then it comes back to Earth
in another living form.
395
00:26:21,331 --> 00:26:24,209
So that is the idea of reincarnation.
396
00:26:26,211 --> 00:26:29,798
[Henry] In Hindu and other traditions,
the body is viewed simply...
397
00:26:29,881 --> 00:26:31,716
as a vessel for the soul...
398
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,637
that's capable of reincarnating
into successive bodies...
399
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,222
or successive lifetimes.
400
00:26:40,058 --> 00:26:44,771
[ Narrator] If the concept that the part of
our consciousness that forms our personality...
401
00:26:44,854 --> 00:26:46,815
that makes us who we are...
402
00:26:46,898 --> 00:26:49,818
continues to exist after the body has died...
403
00:26:49,901 --> 00:26:53,613
then might many of us
have lived past lives...
404
00:26:54,989 --> 00:26:57,784
and only a handful of people,
like Shanti Devi...
405
00:26:57,867 --> 00:26:59,744
are able to remember them?
406
00:27:01,621 --> 00:27:05,250
Some believe that not only
is reincarnation real. . .
407
00:27:05,333 --> 00:27:06,876
But that in certain cases...
408
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,797
there has even been physical evidence
to support this.
409
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,175
When we examine
the reincarnation research...
410
00:27:14,259 --> 00:27:16,261
a consistent theme emerges...
411
00:27:16,344 --> 00:27:20,098
regarding the existence
of birthmarks on someone's body.
412
00:27:20,181 --> 00:27:26,146
What we've found is multiple cases
of people who have bizarre birthmarks...
413
00:27:26,229 --> 00:27:30,733
who then accurately remember having been
someone else in another lifetime...
414
00:27:30,817 --> 00:27:34,404
and in some of these cases
we can confirm...
415
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:38,658
that their past-life person
died in a particular way...
416
00:27:38,741 --> 00:27:42,829
and they come back with a birthmark
corresponding to that exact area.
417
00:27:45,331 --> 00:27:48,960
If they died by gunshot, we know where
the gunshot wound took place.
418
00:27:49,043 --> 00:27:51,754
The person reincarnates
and they have a birthmark...
419
00:27:51,838 --> 00:27:54,757
right where the gunshot
actually entered.
420
00:27:57,343 --> 00:27:59,429
[ Narrator]
Is it possible that a birthmark...
421
00:27:59,512 --> 00:28:03,433
could be the consciousness
creating a physical manifestation...
422
00:28:03,516 --> 00:28:07,187
of a traumatic event
that happened in a previous life?
423
00:28:09,355 --> 00:28:11,232
Proponents of reincarnation...
424
00:28:11,316 --> 00:28:15,820
say further evidence that our consciousness
can be resurrected in another body...
425
00:28:15,904 --> 00:28:18,823
can be found in the fact
that reincarnation...
426
00:28:18,907 --> 00:28:21,159
isn't just part of Eastern religions...
427
00:28:21,242 --> 00:28:23,411
like Hinduism and Buddhism.
428
00:28:24,287 --> 00:28:27,832
It appears in most
ancient religions worldwide.
429
00:28:29,250 --> 00:28:34,881
Early Greek religion had a process-
a belief- in reincarnation.
430
00:28:34,964 --> 00:28:37,550
Plato writes about it in his writings-
431
00:28:37,634 --> 00:28:40,386
that the soul would enter into the body...
432
00:28:40,470 --> 00:28:43,348
and then when you died,
the soul would be reprocessed...
433
00:28:43,431 --> 00:28:45,892
and then would enter back into a body.
434
00:28:47,435 --> 00:28:50,521
[Man] In the Bible,Jesus says,
“Who do you say that I am?”
435
00:28:50,605 --> 00:28:52,398
“Some people say you're John the Baptist.
436
00:28:52,482 --> 00:28:54,525
Some people say you're Elijah.
437
00:28:54,609 --> 00:28:56,986
Some people say you're Jeremiah.”
438
00:28:57,070 --> 00:28:59,530
Well, those people are all dead...
439
00:29:00,740 --> 00:29:04,619
so what they're saying is,
“You've come back as this person.”
440
00:29:04,702 --> 00:29:07,163
That's what reincarnation is about.
441
00:29:11,251 --> 00:29:13,253
[ Narrator]
In each of these religions...
442
00:29:13,336 --> 00:29:17,382
the gods are the ones that educated
people about reincarnation.
443
00:29:18,216 --> 00:29:21,261
Is it possible
that the ancients misunderstood...
444
00:29:21,344 --> 00:29:24,389
who had bestowed this knowledge
on their societies...
445
00:29:24,472 --> 00:29:27,392
and that they were actually
extraterrestrial beings...
446
00:29:27,475 --> 00:29:30,770
sharing their wisdom about the afterlife?
447
00:29:31,938 --> 00:29:37,151
[Henry] Ultimately, when you trace back
the origins of the stories of reincarnation...
448
00:29:37,235 --> 00:29:40,029
you're led to extraterrestrial sources.
449
00:29:40,113 --> 00:29:42,740
This was a teaching that was brought here...
450
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:46,869
and represents the ultimate
spiritual attainment on Earth.
451
00:29:48,788 --> 00:29:51,874
[Wilcock ] We have over 30
ancient cultures around the world...
452
00:29:51,958 --> 00:29:55,586
independently contacted
by human-looking messengers...
453
00:29:55,670 --> 00:30:00,466
who give them a unified body
of spiritual knowledge...
454
00:30:00,550 --> 00:30:05,763
which usually describes reincarnation-
455
00:30:05,847 --> 00:30:10,184
the transmigration of the soul
from one physical incarnation to the next-
456
00:30:10,268 --> 00:30:11,769
as a reality.
457
00:30:13,980 --> 00:30:16,232
[ Narrator]
Could it be that celestial beings...
458
00:30:16,316 --> 00:30:19,110
have mastered the science
of reincarnation...
459
00:30:19,193 --> 00:30:23,406
to the point where they treat death
as just another form of life?
460
00:30:25,825 --> 00:30:30,580
And if so, are these aliens helping nurture
our understanding...
461
00:30:30,663 --> 00:30:33,416
of this otherworldly realm?
462
00:30:33,499 --> 00:30:37,378
If resurrections are really
a resurrection of the spirit...
463
00:30:37,462 --> 00:30:39,130
rather than the body...
464
00:30:39,922 --> 00:30:43,718
then it's possible that we would have
a technology to follow that spirit...
465
00:30:43,801 --> 00:30:46,137
from one body to the next.
466
00:30:47,597 --> 00:30:50,808
And you have to wonder
if this doesn't come from extraterrestrials.
467
00:30:54,354 --> 00:30:56,898
[ Narrator] Could extraterrestrials
have the ultimate answers...
468
00:30:56,981 --> 00:31:00,318
to life, death and resurrection?
469
00:31:00,401 --> 00:31:04,947
And if so, will humanity
ever possess those secrets?
470
00:31:05,031 --> 00:31:09,243
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
some people may already have that...
471
00:31:09,327 --> 00:31:11,704
without even knowing it.
472
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:23,966
Northern Israel,
approximately 33 AD.
473
00:31:26,552 --> 00:31:29,889
According to the gospels
of the New Testament of the Bible...
474
00:31:29,972 --> 00:31:31,974
in the months before his death...
475
00:31:32,058 --> 00:31:36,646
Jesus leads three of his apostles away
from the village in which they're staying...
476
00:31:36,729 --> 00:31:40,149
and together, they journey
to a nearby mountain.
477
00:31:42,235 --> 00:31:44,779
[Downing ] The story here is that
Jesus went up a high mountain...
478
00:31:44,862 --> 00:31:46,948
with Peter, James and john...
479
00:31:47,031 --> 00:31:50,159
his three closest followers.
480
00:31:50,243 --> 00:31:53,579
So while they were there,
a glowing object hovered over them...
481
00:31:53,663 --> 00:31:57,166
and Moses and Elijah were reported
to have appeared to him.
482
00:31:58,084 --> 00:32:03,005
While they were there, the body of Jesus
began to glow tremendously...
483
00:32:03,089 --> 00:32:06,592
and when they were finished with
this scene they went down the mountain...
484
00:32:06,676 --> 00:32:09,929
and Jesus told the disciples
not to tell anybody about this...
485
00:32:10,012 --> 00:32:13,558
until after his crucifixion
and resurrection.
486
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:16,018
This says to me
that maybe the body of Jesus...
487
00:32:16,102 --> 00:32:18,604
went through some type
of transformation...
488
00:32:18,688 --> 00:32:23,693
which changed his body
so that when he rose from the dead...
489
00:32:23,776 --> 00:32:27,029
it would be a body
that would never die again.
490
00:32:30,533 --> 00:32:31,993
[ Narrator]
According to the Bible...
491
00:32:32,076 --> 00:32:34,662
it was several months
after this incident...
492
00:32:34,745 --> 00:32:37,457
that Roman authorities arrested Jesus...
493
00:32:37,540 --> 00:32:40,543
and put him to death by crucifixion.
494
00:32:41,461 --> 00:32:44,005
[Woman ] We know following
the crucifixion on Friday night...
495
00:32:44,088 --> 00:32:46,299
he is laid into a tomb.
496
00:32:46,382 --> 00:32:52,138
On Sunday, when Mary Magdalene and
the other women come to anoint his body...
497
00:32:52,221 --> 00:32:53,723
the tomb is empty.
498
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,228
The stone has been rolled back
and his burial cloths are all that remain.
499
00:33:04,108 --> 00:33:07,820
[ Narrator ] Although Jesus is said
to have ascended to a heavenly realm...
500
00:33:07,904 --> 00:33:11,157
it is written that he ascended bodily.
501
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:14,243
This has led some
ancient astronaut theorists...
502
00:33:14,327 --> 00:33:17,413
to form a different interpretation
of the scriptures...
503
00:33:17,497 --> 00:33:21,918
based also on events that occurred
just after the resurrection...
504
00:33:22,001 --> 00:33:26,214
that indicate it may have had
extraterrestrial origins.
505
00:33:27,423 --> 00:33:29,759
[ Downing]
Matthew's gospel, chapter 28...
506
00:33:29,842 --> 00:33:33,429
says that an angel of God
descended from heaven...
507
00:33:33,513 --> 00:33:35,932
rolled back the stone and sat upon it...
508
00:33:36,015 --> 00:33:39,101
and his clothing glistened white.
509
00:33:39,185 --> 00:33:42,104
And so, we have a being
reported to be there.
510
00:33:42,188 --> 00:33:44,607
This means that powers
from another world...
511
00:33:44,690 --> 00:33:47,443
were involved
in the resurrection of Jesus.
512
00:33:47,527 --> 00:33:50,696
People come to the tomb.
They find the tomb empty.
513
00:33:50,780 --> 00:33:56,285
They're described in a couple of the gospels:
young men with raiment that was shining...
514
00:33:56,369 --> 00:33:59,372
much like
extraterrestrial encounters today...
515
00:33:59,455 --> 00:34:01,958
where we see beings of light.
516
00:34:02,792 --> 00:34:05,711
And they say, “Why are you seeking
the living among the dead?
517
00:34:05,795 --> 00:34:08,381
Jesus is gone.
just like he said would happen.”
518
00:34:11,175 --> 00:34:12,885
[ Narrator]
Many Christians believe...
519
00:34:12,969 --> 00:34:15,513
this seminal resurrection
in Western culture...
520
00:34:15,596 --> 00:34:19,600
signifies that humans can-
and many eventually will-
521
00:34:19,684 --> 00:34:21,477
be raised from the dead.
522
00:34:21,561 --> 00:34:24,438
But does it actually give humanity clues...
523
00:34:24,522 --> 00:34:28,276
about how to pierce the veil
between life and death?
524
00:34:29,068 --> 00:34:31,654
Some ancient astronaut theorists say...
525
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:34,824
that further evidence
that resurrection is possible...
526
00:34:34,907 --> 00:34:38,411
can be found
in the modern-day church service.
527
00:34:43,749 --> 00:34:47,461
St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York City.
528
00:34:48,921 --> 00:34:51,799
Give us perseverance
and lead us to salvation.
529
00:34:51,882 --> 00:34:54,176
Cardinal Timothy Dolan says mass...
530
00:34:54,260 --> 00:34:57,805
at one of America's
most impressive Catholic churches...
531
00:34:59,765 --> 00:35:04,854
and during the Eucharist,
he consecrates bread and wine.
532
00:35:04,937 --> 00:35:06,814
According to church doctrine...
533
00:35:06,897 --> 00:35:12,528
at this moment he is literally turning them
into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
534
00:35:14,030 --> 00:35:18,034
Cardinal Dolan, or any other priest
who performs this ritual...
535
00:35:18,117 --> 00:35:21,579
is actually performing a resurrection.
536
00:35:24,206 --> 00:35:27,501
The Catholic doctrine
of transubstantiation argues...
537
00:35:27,585 --> 00:35:30,588
that this is a miracle,
the Eucharist is a miracle.
538
00:35:31,255 --> 00:35:33,633
When you partake
of the bread and the wine...
539
00:35:33,716 --> 00:35:36,052
that it miraculously transforms...
540
00:35:36,135 --> 00:35:39,722
into the actual body and blood of Jesus.
541
00:35:42,475 --> 00:35:47,480
We then ingest the holy,
we ingest Christ, incorporate.
542
00:35:47,563 --> 00:35:49,065
Play on the word.
543
00:35:49,148 --> 00:35:52,985
That is, make part of our corpus,
part of our body, the divine...
544
00:35:53,069 --> 00:35:54,612
in this ritual form.
545
00:35:54,695 --> 00:35:57,198
It is a powerful activity.
546
00:35:59,408 --> 00:36:03,454
[ Narrator] But how can bread and wine
be changed into flesh and blood?
547
00:36:04,413 --> 00:36:06,207
According to the Catholic Church...
548
00:36:06,290 --> 00:36:09,919
it's a mystery that humans
cannot possibly unravel.
549
00:36:11,253 --> 00:36:14,757
But some believe that instead
of a physical transformation...
550
00:36:15,675 --> 00:36:20,012
Jesus is resurrected metaphysically
during the church service...
551
00:36:20,888 --> 00:36:23,516
that Jesus was, and still is...
552
00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:28,020
an advanced being that can move
from one dimension to another.
553
00:36:29,605 --> 00:36:33,317
As evidence, they cite
what Jesus told his followers...
554
00:36:33,401 --> 00:36:37,780
about the power of gathering in groups
to invoke his name.
555
00:36:39,699 --> 00:36:44,370
[Young] Christ said, “Where two or more
are gathered in my name, there I am also.”
556
00:36:44,453 --> 00:36:47,957
Something happens,
and it happens in ritual worship-
557
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,959
collective worship.
558
00:36:50,042 --> 00:36:54,588
Now, I'm not putting aside the power
and value of private spiritual practice...
559
00:36:54,672 --> 00:36:58,592
but there's something else that happens
when this is done collectively.
560
00:36:59,802 --> 00:37:03,055
[Henry] Is this a form of resurrection
as well, where they, in fact...
561
00:37:03,139 --> 00:37:07,309
then, in a way,
embody the Christ energy...
562
00:37:07,393 --> 00:37:08,894
during the mass?
563
00:37:08,978 --> 00:37:12,565
So maybe this is the purpose of the mass,
is to create this environment...
564
00:37:12,648 --> 00:37:16,235
where they can transform their body
into a vehicle...
565
00:37:16,318 --> 00:37:20,322
capable of manifesting,
or holding, the Christ energy.
566
00:37:24,618 --> 00:37:27,830
[ Narrator] Is it possible
that worshippers around the world...
567
00:37:27,913 --> 00:37:30,624
actually resurrect an otherworldly being...
568
00:37:30,708 --> 00:37:32,835
every time they gather to pray?
569
00:37:33,711 --> 00:37:37,548
And if so, is this just
a resurrection of the spirit...
570
00:37:37,631 --> 00:37:40,259
or could we eventually
reanimate the body...
571
00:37:40,342 --> 00:37:43,053
so it can be reunited with the soul?
572
00:37:44,054 --> 00:37:48,058
Ancient astronaut theorists believe
stunning advances in modern medicine...
573
00:37:48,142 --> 00:37:50,311
might soon make this possible.
574
00:38:00,237 --> 00:38:04,408
Tübingen, Germany, 2013.
575
00:38:05,534 --> 00:38:10,372
Scientists at the University of Tübingen
report a landmark event.
576
00:38:10,456 --> 00:38:13,167
They have sequenced and decoded DNA...
577
00:38:13,250 --> 00:38:16,295
that was extracted
from five Egyptian mummy heads.
578
00:38:17,338 --> 00:38:21,383
Somehow, the way the ancient Egyptians
embalmed the bodies of their dead...
579
00:38:21,467 --> 00:38:25,471
allowed DNA to survive
for thousands of years.
580
00:38:25,554 --> 00:38:27,640
One of the things that happens
in mummification...
581
00:38:27,723 --> 00:38:30,768
is that they rapidly extract all the water...
582
00:38:30,851 --> 00:38:33,979
and it's thought that water
actually is one of the major contributors...
583
00:38:34,063 --> 00:38:35,981
to the degradation of the DNA.
584
00:38:36,065 --> 00:38:39,151
So that rapid extraction of water
was believed to protect the mummy...
585
00:38:39,235 --> 00:38:41,028
from DNA degradation.
586
00:38:43,113 --> 00:38:46,867
[ Narrator] Researchers have not yet found
a complete set of genetic blueprints...
587
00:38:46,951 --> 00:38:49,578
to the ancient Egyptian body...
588
00:38:50,162 --> 00:38:54,416
but this material shows them
that if they do find enough DNA...
589
00:38:54,500 --> 00:38:58,587
they can, in theory,
bring these people back to life...
590
00:38:58,671 --> 00:39:01,090
to physically resurrect them.
591
00:39:02,049 --> 00:39:06,345
If we have the physical remains of a corpse...
592
00:39:06,428 --> 00:39:10,266
it might be possible
to resurrect this corpse literally-
593
00:39:11,684 --> 00:39:14,103
to regenerate the DNA.
594
00:39:14,186 --> 00:39:16,772
Now, the process
would be extremely difficult...
595
00:39:16,856 --> 00:39:18,691
but the technology is on its way...
596
00:39:19,775 --> 00:39:21,235
and that will be amazing.
597
00:39:21,318 --> 00:39:24,613
I mean, we would- They would
literally have achieved their objective-
598
00:39:24,697 --> 00:39:28,158
to be resurrected again.
599
00:39:30,578 --> 00:39:32,037
[ Narrator]
Is it possible...
600
00:39:32,121 --> 00:39:34,874
that scientists are finally
starting to unravel...
601
00:39:34,957 --> 00:39:36,959
the secrets to resurrection?
602
00:39:37,835 --> 00:39:41,881
And if so, can humanity
eventually master this power...
603
00:39:41,964 --> 00:39:45,759
so we can bring bodies and souls
back into the physical world...
604
00:39:45,843 --> 00:39:47,344
whenever we choose?
605
00:39:48,220 --> 00:39:50,806
Some ancient astronaut theorists suggest...
606
00:39:50,890 --> 00:39:55,853
that many religions describe the moment
when humans reach this stage of evolution.
607
00:39:56,896 --> 00:39:59,315
It's variously called “the rapture”...
608
00:39:59,398 --> 00:40:01,108
“the day of judgment”...
609
00:40:01,191 --> 00:40:02,860
“end of days”...
610
00:40:02,943 --> 00:40:04,820
or “the Apocalypse.”
611
00:40:08,198 --> 00:40:10,242
[Tzadok]
According to the legends...
612
00:40:10,326 --> 00:40:16,999
all humanity is to evolve
into a higher form.
613
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:20,252
The proper word
would be “transformation”...
614
00:40:20,336 --> 00:40:23,172
wherein which we will have achieved
the purpose...
615
00:40:23,255 --> 00:40:26,091
for which we have come to Earth
in the first place.
616
00:40:27,259 --> 00:40:30,763
But that, in and of itself,
is not the end of the road.
617
00:40:30,846 --> 00:40:33,015
Then we evolve beyond that.
618
00:40:33,098 --> 00:40:35,893
This is referred to
as “the great resurrection.”
619
00:40:37,186 --> 00:40:39,188
[Tsoukalos]
One thing is crystal clear:
620
00:40:39,271 --> 00:40:43,692
In all of the ancient texts,
those gods promised to return.
621
00:40:44,610 --> 00:40:50,491
Not just in the Bible, but in many
of the ancient sacred texts.
622
00:40:51,742 --> 00:40:55,287
[ Narrator] Could the end of days
that most religions foresee...
623
00:40:55,371 --> 00:41:00,876
actually be the time when humanity
discovers the secret to resurrection...
624
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:06,799
allowing everyone to move between
physical and spiritual planes of existence?
625
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:13,973
And if so, will this realm be the place
where we finally meet the extraterrestrials...
626
00:41:14,056 --> 00:41:17,184
that ancient astronaut theorists
say visited the Earth...
627
00:41:17,267 --> 00:41:19,853
thousands of years ago?
628
00:41:24,024 --> 00:41:26,443
The idea of resurrection...
629
00:41:26,527 --> 00:41:30,990
or rebirth into a new realm of existence,
a new kingdom of heaven...
630
00:41:31,073 --> 00:41:35,953
was central to our interaction with
the celestials or extraterrestrial beings.
631
00:41:36,036 --> 00:41:38,956
You could almost make the argument
that that's why they came here...
632
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:43,168
was to teach us how
to resurrect ourselves, our bodies...
633
00:41:43,252 --> 00:41:46,714
to transform our bodies
into a celestial form...
634
00:41:46,797 --> 00:41:48,799
a light-body form.
635
00:41:49,717 --> 00:41:53,721
We find a direct through line
connecting extraterrestrials, angels...
636
00:41:53,804 --> 00:41:56,056
and the near-death experience.
637
00:41:57,016 --> 00:42:00,853
There is a compelling suggestion
that at the end of days...
638
00:42:00,936 --> 00:42:03,647
the veil between realities will be parted...
639
00:42:03,731 --> 00:42:05,733
and we will gain the capability...
640
00:42:05,816 --> 00:42:12,072
of moving directly between the world
of the living and the world of the afterlife.
641
00:42:12,156 --> 00:42:13,657
[Tsoukalos]
I don't think it is anything...
642
00:42:13,741 --> 00:42:19,204
that we should look upon with dread,
but with joy...
643
00:42:19,288 --> 00:42:21,707
because it means we're not alone...
644
00:42:21,790 --> 00:42:25,002
and, you know, they're there with us.
645
00:42:27,588 --> 00:42:29,840
[ Narrator] Might we really have souls
that exist in a realm...
646
00:42:29,923 --> 00:42:33,135
that can be accessed
by otherworldly beings?
647
00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:39,850
And if so, could stories involving
the second coming of prophets...
648
00:42:41,143 --> 00:42:43,103
the reanimation of the dead...
649
00:42:44,146 --> 00:42:46,899
and the close encounters of those
on the brink of death...
650
00:42:46,982 --> 00:42:51,653
be evidence that extraterrestrials
hold the secret to resurrection?
651
00:42:53,489 --> 00:42:57,451
Perhaps as we come to better understand
our own mortality...
652
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,538
we too will uncover the mysteries
of the afterlife...
653
00:43:01,622 --> 00:43:05,250
and in the process, discover the truth...
654
00:43:05,334 --> 00:43:08,253
about our alien origins.
