Enormous humanoid figures

descending from the stars.

We have
in our ancient midrashic teachings

that when the adamic race
descended to earth,

they were beings
approximately 100 feet tall.

Massive structures

built with stones weighing
thousands of pounds.

Cyclopean architecture

is associated with the cyclopes,

the one-eyed Giants.

It really indicates something

that's almost impossible
to make.

Some of these blocks,

I've heard,
are up to 30 tons each?

Yes.

I mean, this is incredible.

Mysterious tombs

said to contain
gigantic skeletons.

I personally went there,

measured the tombs myself.

Even in the smaller tombs,

you could fit
a nine-to 12-foot Giant.

Could the Ancient Legends

of Giants in the mediterranean
really be true?

The Giants were a fact.
They did exist.

You have the stories of Giants,

you have structures
that are incredible,

and you have to wonder,
what are their origins?

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is
the promise of truth.

It demands
we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is
right before our eyes.

We are not alone.
*ANCIENT ALLIENS*

We have never been alone.

The Mediterranean.

This majestic inland sea,

spanning
nearly one million square miles,

has been dubbed the "incubator
of Western civilization."

Its temperate climate
and fertile soil

enabled the rise of some of the
greatest civilizations on Earth,

including the Mesopotamians,

Egyptians, Persians,

Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans.

Throughout the Mediterranean,

there were great civilizations.

Their art, their philosophy,

their scientific findings,

the accumulative knowledge
is this strong connection

to the ancient roots
of Western civilization.

It's really earth-shattering

how sophisticated the ancient
Mediterranean cultures were

in their understanding
of astronomy

and astrology and mathematics,

going all the way back
to the Babylonians.

Each civilization
developed innovations

that shaped the modern world.

Mesopotamian astronomers devised
the 12-month calendar.

Phoenician sailors pioneered
celestial navigation.

Greek philosophers established
the principles

of democratic government
and trial by jury.

Each culture had
the written word, the arts,

and, curiously,
stories of Giants.

There are legends of Giants

that appear
throughout the Mediterranean.

The Roman historian
Dio Cassius wrote

that Giants roamed the land
before Mount Vesuvius erupted.

We call them mythology,

but they were seen as truth
at the time.

There are these stories
of humans interacting

with these Giants, and they're
often in conflict with them

in the Greek tales
of the Gigantomachy.

There is a
story of the Gigantomachy,

a great battle
between the Olympians

and the race of Giants.

Giants play a major role

in the earliest Greek stories.

In the Gigantomachy,
these strange, enormous figures,

who are neither Gods nor humans,

are battling
for control of the heavens.

The Giants were actually
descendants of the Titans.

Um, often times,
people confuse the two.

But the Giants
were said to have been born

from Gaia and Uranus,

and this is
where the name derives.

Hercules was pivotal in the Gods
overcoming the Giants

in the Gigantomachia.

Hercules'
victory over the Giants

was called the Pompeii,

and the ancient city of Pompeii

is said
to have been named for it.

Stories of Giants can be found

in the traditions of ancient
cultures throughout the world.

Native tribes
of the American Southwest

told of a race
of red-haired Giants

curiously similar
to the accounts

of the Celtic people of Europe,

who described red-haired Giants
called the Tuatha Dé Danann.

In India, early Sanskrit texts
portray Buddha

as a nine-foot-tall,
blue-skinned Giant.

And on Easter Island,
local traditions have it

that the enormous stone moai
statues were erected by Giants.

But as far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

the incredible volume of stories
found in the Mediterranean,

and the details contained
within them,

may indicate that this part of
the world was an arrival point

for actual Giant beings
that came to Earth

from another planet.

We have a great concentration
of these stories

in the Mediterranean area.

You have them in Greece,

in Italy and in ancient Sumeria.

So the idea that at some point
Giants roamed the land,

you have to wonder,
who were these Giants?

What are their origins?

If actual Giants
once lived alongside humans,

as some ancient texts suggest,

did they leave behind
any physical evidence

of their presence on Earth?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest

the answer might be found
by examining

another race of Giants
from the Greek tradition.

In the 7th century BC,

the poet Hesiod wrote
about the Cyclopes,

a group of Giants
responsible for building

incredible structures
out of stone.

Now, the Cyclopes were
one-eyed Giants.

They are builders.
They are craftsmen.

They can make things.
They make armor.

They make weapons.

They're able
to build walls and gates,

and these are
very important divine figures.

In the Mediterranean,
there are structures

thought to have been built
by Giants.

One of those is
the Lion's Gate in Mycenae.

This is said to have been built
by the Cyclopes.

And the reason for this is,

one, because
of the architecture of it...

it's called "cyclopean masonry,"

which are usually large stones
placed upon each other.

Could real-life Giants

have built structures
in the Mediterranean

that have survived
the ravages of time

and still stand to this day?

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

the answer is a resounding yes.

And not just one or two...

but thousands.

In the middle
of the Mediterranean Sea,

just south of Sicily,
lie the islands of Malta.

With three inhabited islands

covering an area
of roughly 120 square miles,

it is one of the smallest
countries in the world.

But this tiny nation
boasts

no less than seven
enormous megalithic structures,

containing some of the most
massive freestanding stones

in the world.

Malta is an incredible place,

because there we have

some of the biggest megalithic
sites in all of Europe.

The temples on Malta and Gozo

are more than
a thousand years older

than the pyramids of Egypt.

They are the earliest monumental
architecture in the world.

Looks very much
as if that architecture

developed right here in Malta.

Mainstream historians believe

the first inhabitants of Malta

traveled from Sicily in 5200 BC.

Today, the stone structures
erected on the Maltese islands

are considered by archeologists

to be among the greatest
creations of ancient builders

found anywhere on Earth.

One of the oldest
megalithic sites in Europe

is a place called Ggantija
on the Maltese island of Gozo,

and this was actually
the oldest free-standing temple

in the world before Gobekli Tepe
was discovered.

At the time that
the Ggantija temples were built,

about 3500 BC,

there was no one else in the
world doing anything like this.

Some of the walls
of Ggantija temple

are more than 20 feet high...

still standing,
have never fallen.

There's very little in the world
that could survive

for 5,000 years
the way Ggantija has.

While a
structure lasting 5,000 years

is astonishing, many believe
these megalithic buildings

could be far older.

But mainstream historians
are unable to explain

how the ancient builders
were able to precisely arrange

the massive stones...
Each weighing over 20 tons...

Before metal tools,

or even the wheel,
had been invented.

Modern
cranes cannot lift that today.

It would appear
that the builders at Malta

had some special technology

that is probably
beyond our own capabilities.

"Ggantija" is
translated from the Maltese

into "place of the Giants,"

or "place made by Giants."

It's always been called that.

It was said to have been built

by a Giant Goddess, Sunsuna,

who built it
while nursing an infant.

In Malta,
the archaeologists agree

with the local legends

that the Giants built
the ancient structures of Malta.

And who were those Giants?

These are not Gods.

These are false Gods.

They're extraterrestrials,
if you will.

Was the Mediterranean

home to a race of colossal
beings thousands of years ago?

And if so, were they born
of this Earth,

or did they come
from somewhere else?

Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining

another mysterious
megalithic structure on Malta,

one that has a very specific
cosmic connection.

Qrendi, Malta

Located on the rugged
south coast of the main island,

this historic village is home to
a mysterious megalithic temple

called Mnajdra.

This complex consists
of stone structures

that are laid out
in the pattern of a trefoil,

three interconnected
circular chambers.

There are actually three temples
at the complex of Mnajdra.

The south temple seems
to be aligned specifically

to function as a solar calendar.

The temple is aligned so that
the sunrise on the equinox,

the two times each year
when daylight and darkness

are exactly equal, the sun rises
exactly in the central corridor

and lights up the whole temple
all the way to the back.

On other times of the year,
there are other stones

that reflect
the solstice daybreak.

Mainstream archaeologists
estimate that the oldest temple

at Mnajdra was built
sometime around 3600 BC,

by the same builders who
constructed the Ggantija temple.

According to local folklore,

these ancient builders
were Giants.

The idea of Giants
comes from the fact that it's so big.

There's no way that regular
human people could stack

all these stones up and
create such mammoth buildings.

It had to be Giants.

In 1992,

University of Malta professor
Paul Micallef

published a book
that claimed Mnajdra

is thousands of years older
than historians believe,

and pinpoints the construction
to 10,200 BC.

He came to this conclusion
because based on the tilt

of the Earth
at that point in time,

on the morning
of the summer solstice,

a beam of light would have come
through the main entrance

of the Mnajdra temple
and been cast directly

on the center of an altar stone.

The only way
this could be achieved

is if Mnajdra
was built specifically

with the end effect in mind.

Over huge periods of time,
the rising of the Sun

on the summer solstice moves
to different parts of the sky.

And this is called
the precession of the equinox,

it's the Earth's wobble over
a nearly 26,000-year period.

If Paul
Micallef's analysis is correct,

it would predate the Earth's
earliest known civilizations

by some 6,000 years.

So, how were sophisticated
megalithic structures

with precise
astronomical alignments,

built on an isolated island

thousands of years before
the emergence of civilization?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest the knowledge to do this

was given to the people of Malta
by Giants,

who were not of this Earth.

We automatically
assume that extraterrestrials

might be what we describe today
as the Grey aliens.

But more than likely we're gonna
have... be confronted

with the fact that these species
are far different

than we've previously
understood.

Astrophysicists are typically saying

that the larger the planet, the
greater the gravitational field.

And in theory, if some aliens
are actual Giants,

uh, even twice the size of us,
as an example,

perhaps they're coming
from planets

that are actually smaller
than the Earth

and has a smaller gravity

and therefore,
they grow larger than we are.

Could the megalithic temples

on Malta have been built
by a lost civilization

that thrived 12,000 years ago,

possibly with the aid
of Giant beings

who descended from the sky?

Misrah Ghar il-Kbir.

Located on the southwest coast
of Malta,

this region is home to some
of the most baffling formations

found anywhere on the planet,

a complex network of grooves
carved into the rock

known simply as cart ruts.

The cart ruts on Malta

are about, uh, four feet wide.

They're-they're
uniformly spaced.

Some of them run
hundreds of yards.

Some of them run miles.

These parallel incisions
in the bedrock

have been identified
as cart ruts

because that's what
they look like.

What they really were,
what their purpose was

we don't know.

There's nothing written.

There's no way, really, to tell.

But there are a lot of them.

In some places,

they are so crisscrossed
and complex

that the area has been called
Clapham Junction,

after the train station
in London.

Author Gordon Weston

has been studying
this strange anomaly

for more than a decade

and, in 2010,
wrote a book called

The Maltese Cart-Ruts:
Unraveling an Enigma,

in which he examines
the various theories

about how they might
have been formed.

So, Gordon,
tell me what you think.

Well, got a... what,
you got half a lifetime?

Absolutely. Yes.

Basically, you couldn't drive
a cart down here.

The cart would be wrecked.

Early researchers
looked at vehicles

that would scrape away the rock,

because that's what it looks
like's happened.

There was three devices.

The first one was a sledge.

Probably the oldest form
of human transport.

But they found that the sledge
immediately got stuck.

So two other devices
have been looked at.

Uh, one was the travois.

They're used
by the Plains Indians

to transport their teepees
from camp to camp.

The problem is the poles
would be wider than these ruts

when they touch the ground.

The next device
is called the slide car.

It's a load platform
with two runners on it.

It's a fanciful
and ridiculous idea.

Practical experiments and that...
It just doesn't work.

Science is useless
for this problem.

There is no methodology

which can be applied
scientifically to these ruts.

So, in St. George's Bay,

in a city called Birzebbuga,

there are a couple of ruts

that go straight
into the Mediterranean Sea.

They are
famous. You're-you're right.

It is interesting to see
the ruts go into the sea.

They also are said to have come
up on the other side of the bay.

But it's now built over.

So, how do you explain it?

It might be that we're looking

at a technology
we don't understand.

The ruts go off into the sea.

Underwater, people have dived
down and found them, miles away.

So, apparently,
either the sea level rose

or the land subsided
or maybe both.

During the last ice age,

the sea level
was 300 feet lower.

So, it could have been
that, 10,000, 15,000 years ago,

the islands were inhabited
by people who used

these so-called cart ruts

to transport, uh, stones
across the island.

According to geologists,

the last ice age ended
around 10,000 BC.

Might the existence
of these cart ruts

corroborate the findings
of Professor Paul Micallef,

who claimed the Mnajdra temple

was constructed
more than 12,000 years ago?

Perhaps even more baffling
to researchers

is the fact
that these mysterious grooves

are not confined
to the Maltese islands.

These cart ruts

are found also in Tunisia
and in Sicily.

So, they seem to relate
to a people

who are occupying
all of those areas.

Might the so-called cart ruts

be a remnant
of a vast transportation network

that existed
throughout the Mediterranean

some 12,000 years ago?

Could they be physical evidence

to support
the stories of Giants?

Perhaps further clues
can be found

on another Mediterranean island,

one that contains
ancient stone structures

known as the Tombs
of the Giants.

Sardinia, Italy

Located 116 miles west
of the Italian peninsula,

this picturesque island
in the Mediterranean

boasts rugged mountains,
arid grasslands,

and white sand beaches.

It is also home

to many mysterious
ancient stone structures

similar to those found on Malta
just 400 miles away.

Sardinia is probably
best known

for its abundance of structures
called nuraghe.

And these are conical towers,

usually truncated at the top,

so that there's a flat base.

There are
approximately 7,000 nuraghe

that scholars have uncovered
on Sardinia,

though that number could be
as high as 20,000 or more.

These nuraghe

are made out
of huge basalt boulders.

They're stacked up
into towers and walls

and beehive chambers.

Archaeologists do not know
how they were all built.

They assume that huge ramps

were built to-to move all
of this material,

which, uh, seems unlikely,
frankly,

when you're there
and you see it.

According to
mainstream archaeologists,

these structures were built
by the Nuraghe,

a civilization that is believed
to have inhabited the island

nearly 4,000 years ago,

emerging in 1800 BC

and mysteriously disappearing
around 200 AD.

Among the thousands
of ancient structures

found on Sardinia,

perhaps the most baffling
to researchers

are megalithic tombs

said to have been built
for Giants.

There are nearly 800
so-called Tombs of the Giants

found in Sardinia.

And the reason why
they're called Giant.

It is because
they're remarkably long tombs,

usually with stone slabs
in them,

and they appear
extraordinarily large.

There is a lot of controversy

concerning what these tombs
were built for.

More specifically,
for whom were they built?

I personally went there,
measured the tombs myself.

In the larger tomb,

you could fit
a nine-to 12-foot Giant.

A nine-to 12-foot Giant?

Could the strange tombs
in Sardinia

have once contained the corpses
of actual Giants?

But if Sardinia was home
to a race of colossal beings,

who were they?

Cagliari, Sardinia.

2014.

The National
Archaeological Museum

debuts its newest exhibit,

a number
of enormous stone statues

known collectively
as the Giants of Mont'e Prama.

So, the Giants
of Mont'e Prama

are very tall stone Giants

that were found on the, uh,
western coast of Sardinia

back in 1974.

Uh, since then, there's been
numerous excavations,

and over 40
of these stone Giants,

over eight feet tall,
have now been reconstructed

from pieces
that were found there.

The Giants of Mont'e Prama are

very strange-looking
stone statues.

And what makes them so bizarre

is their faces.

For all intents and purposes,

the face looks like a replica

of C-3PO, the robot.

And the fact that archaeologists

suggest
that these are the replicas

of the local population...

And they even call them
the Giants of Mont'e Prama...

You have to wonder,

what did our ancestors
try to carve?

If these statues

depict Giants
that once lived on the island

as ancient astronaut theorists
suggest,

what might
their strange appearance

reveal about them?

Perhaps further clues
can be found

by examining another
of Sardinia's ancient mysteries:

the more than 300
stone monuments

scattered across the island
known as menhirs.

A menhir is
a megalithic, uh, monument

comprising of a single stone
inserted in the ground,

and it goes
straight up vertically.

They're usually quite large

and have
a religious significance.

We find them all over the world,

but the ones in Sardinia
are very interesting

because they often have carvings
on them

of this upside-down kind of
abstract human form on them

as though someone is diving
from the sky to the Earth.

And there's been no explanation
as to exactly what

these represent.

Some people have suggested

that they represent

people descending from the sky
and imparting knowledge.

What's incredible
is that bird people

or birdmen cults
exist worldwide.

In fact,
the further back you go in time,

you see carvings and statues

of beings that have wings.

Even earlier than angels,

you have depictions
of people up in the sky,

fixed wings,
like a modern-day airplane.

So, you have to wonder
if our ancestors

saw winged machines
up in the sky.

If the Giant statues

found on the island of Sardinia

depict extraterrestrials

as ancient astronaut theorists
suggest,

then is it possible

that the menhirs
are meant to reveal

how these visitors arrived?

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the idea of Giants
descending from the heavens

is reminiscent of the stories

of another
ancient Mediterranean people:

the Sumerians.

This civilization, which existed

at the same time
archaeologists believe

the menhirs on Sardinia
were carved,

also wrote of enormous beings
who came from the sky:

the Anunnaki.

The Anunnaki
are the so-called creator Gods

of ancient Sumeria and Babylon.

Our ancestors thought

they were
these divine, magical beings

described as descending
from the sky.

There's all types
of wall reliefs

and artifacts and inscriptions

which depict the Anunnaki

standing amongst
the other Sumerian human beings.

They're always depicted
as larger beings,

uh, of great stature.

This is intriguing

because on the island
of Sardinia

is a huge, great,
truncated pyramid

with a long ramp
running up towards it.

It's made of local stone,

and it would seem
to look extremely like

a ziggurat from ancient Sumeria.

So, were the Anunnaki
in any way linked

with the Giganteslegends
on the island itself?

Is it possible
that a race of colossal beings

known to the Sumerians
as the Annunaki

visited the island of Sardinia
in the distant past?

And if so,

might Sardinia
hold evidence that Giants

not only existed
throughout the Mediterranean

but have
extraterrestrial origins?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

and suggest further evidence
can be found

by examining ancient walls

that still stand
in what was once the very heart

of the Roman Empire.

Ferentino, Italy.

June 2019.

Ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos

is in the heart
of the Italian peninsula,

about 50 miles southeast
of Rome.

This area of Italy,
known as Latium,

was considered the epicenter
of the Roman civilization.

Located 300 miles east
of Sardinia

and 600 miles north of Malta,

Ferentino is also connected

to stories of Giants.

Giorgio is eager to investigate

the ancient city's
massive megalithic walls,

considered to be some of the
finest constructions in Italy.

For expert insight,
he has called upon

local historian
Danila Bracaglia.

- Danila? Speaks Italian...
- Giorgio.

- Welcome to Italy and to Ciociaria.
- Thank you.

This is, uh, beautiful.

- What can you tell me about this area?
- Well,

Ferentino, where we are today,

is actually known
for these constructions

of, uh, the megalithic walls,

founded, according to
the tradition, by God Saturn.

Okay. This is fascinating to me

because this is one
of the reasons why I'm here.

What can you tell me
about the mythologies of Saturn

in this area here?

So, the Five Cities of Saturn
are all

a few kilometers
one from another,

and they all start
with the letter "A."

Alatri, Arpino,

Anagni, Atina and Ferentino.

The original name was Atino.

The tradition says,

you know, the towns were founded
by Saturn and the Titans.

In Greek mythology,

the Titans were humanlike Gods
of enormous stature

who were eventually overthrown
by their children,

the Olympians.

Saturn is the Roman name
for the Titan Cronus,

the father of Zeus

and one of the primary Gods
of ancient Rome,

after whom
both the planet Saturn

and the day Saturday are named.

The ancient Romans wrote

that Saturn once reigned
as an earthly king

alongside Janus
during a golden age

when the Gods
walked among humans.

Could it be that Saturn
and the Titans

are not merely the product
of mythology

but actually existed on Earth

and were responsible
for helping to construct

the megalithic structures found
throughout the Mediterranean?

So, Danila,
where are we right now?

So, this is one of
the entrance gates to the town.

And here
it's actually a perfect point

where you can understand
the stratification of the time.

You see the huge blocks
from the pre-Roman time,

then smaller, uh, blocks in...
built in the Roman time

and finally the Middle Age
on top.

So, basically,
you can see the...

the megalithic structure,
then the Roman,

- and then medieval age.
- Exactly.

- Okay.
- And it's like reading a history book.

So, it's, uh, because here it's
evident that people lived here

for thousands of years and...

and they had different technique
of construction.

Some of them,
like the megalithic,

uh, constructions, are lost,

uh, so we don't know exactly,
uh, when they were built.

Do you know
if all these Five Cities of Saturn

- have the cyclopean walls?
- Yes.

They have, uh, these walls,

megalithics or huge stones,

and some of them are
better preserved than others.

I mean, this is incredible.

And this region is not the only
place that has these walls.

For example,
we have them also in Greece.

But what's even more fascinating

is that we have similar walls
on the other side of the world

in Sacsayhuamán, Peru.

So, from completely opposite
sides of the planet,

we have similar,
if not identical,

construction styles.

According to
the ancient astronaut theory,

Saturn was one
of the founding Gods

of civilization on Earth,

so the idea that this
may have had something to do

with an extraterrestrial visit,
to me,

is-is fascinating.

Sardinia.
Ferentino.

If the Mediterranean
really was home to Giants,

where did they go?

Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe

traces of these Giants can still
be found on Earth today

hidden within our own DNA.

Porto Torres, Sardinia.

October, 1953.

Excavators performing
an archaeological dig

in what was the Roman Empire's
first colony on the island

reportedly make
an astonishing find.

In a place called Porto Torres,

in 1953, it was reported

that two over eight-foot-tall
skeletons were discovered

in the area with grave goods
and bronze furnishings

and other such things actually
within the tomb itself,

suggesting that indeed Giants
did exist in Sardinia.

Full skeletons of Giants

have been unearthed

in the soils of Sardinia,

especially among
the Nuragic ruins.

I interviewed
two individuals

who worked on the excavation
of the Nuragic ruins

in the town of Sardara,

underneath
the Church of Santa Anastasia.

Both of these individuals
dug up,

at different periods of time,
multiple skeletons

of Giants
from nine to 12 feet tall.

Multiple Giant skeletons,

nine to 12 feet tall?

Curiously,
this is the same length

of many of the so-called Giants'
tombs found all over Sardinia.

But if such massive bones
have indeed been discovered,

what happened to them?

Some researchers believe

these findings have been
deliberately covered up.

We hear these stories,
but we don't have any evidence.

It's all been taken away.

For example, another account
from the 1950s...

There was a gentleman
who actually witnessed

bones being dug up
on his farm when he was a child.

And people
in large black cars arrived,

official-looking people,

and took the bones away
in the middle of the night.

When it comes

to the alleged discovery of
Giant skeletons, does the fact

that the bones have gone missing
suggest a cover-up or a hoax?

While skeptics say

that many of these stories come
from dubious sources,

there is at least one discovery
that was documented

by one of the oldest
universities in the world.

In 1892,

it was reported that scientists

at the University of Montpellier
in France studied bones

that had been excavated on
France's Mediterranean coast,

and found that they belonged

to a human
who stood over 11 feet tall.

So there have
been numerous reports

of Giant bones, teeth, skulls.

The lack of physical evidence
is quite frustrating,

but I'm sure it will come out.

But if reports

of Giant skeletons are true,

were these enormous beings human
or something else?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest

the answer may be hidden
within our own DNA.

Copenhagen, Denmark.

2020.

A team of geneticists studying
an ancient hominin

called Homo antecessormake
a groundbreaking discovery.

This species was
a close relative

of the last common ancestor to
humans and two other hominins:

Neanderthals and Denisovans.

It is just the latest in a
series of incredible discoveries

that have revealed humans
not only shared the Earth

with at least eight other
humanlike species,

but even mated and produced
offspring with them.

For quite a long period

of time, many of us,
myself included,

thought that humans
and other hominins,

particularly Neanderthals,
didn't interbreed.

After 2010,
when technology allowed us

to sequence the entire genomes
of several Neanderthals

and other species
and modern humans,

we began to see traces

of a little bit
of Neanderthal mixture.

We see traces
of Neanderthal ancestry

in Europe,
and we see it in Asia,

as well as in the Americas
amongst Native Americans.

Mysteriously,

scientists have found
one hominid is represented

in human DNA that has not yet
been identified.

But ancient astronaut theorists
believe

clues as to what other ancestors
might exist

within the human genome
can be found

in the Bible's Book of Genesis.

In the Book of Genesis, it says

that the sons of God came
into the daughters of men.

They created a hybrid offspring
who are called "the Nephilim,"

or "the fallen ones."

They're referred to as "the
Giants" or "the mighty ones,"

and some believed they were
between eight and 15 feet tall.

This is handed
down not only in the Bible.

This is also handed down
in Sumerian languages,

that some of the Gods had sex
with humans,

and the offsprings were Giants.

Mythology is full of Giants,

and we have to look at these
old myths with modern languages,

change the word of "angel"
into "extraterrestrial."

In the beginning of time,

extraterrestrials had sex
with humans,

and the product of
this sexual contact were Giants.

Is it possible
that as geneticists continue

to decode the human genome,
they will find

that among our various hominid
ancestors is a missing link

to enormous beings
from another world?

Ancient DNA

is perhaps, for me,

the most important area of study
in all of my work,

because there is
the potential chance here

that we can find direct evidence

of the ancestors
of modern humans.

I suspect we'll find lineages

of a race of Giants.

Could it be

that just like some humans have
traces of Neanderthal DNA,

there could still be similar
traces of alien-human Giants

that scientists have yet
to discover?

Ancient astronaut theorists
believe

the answer is a profound yes,

and suggest further insights
could be revealed

in early Judaic texts,

which give a curious description
of the world's first man,

otherwise known as "Adam."

The Book of Genesis,
Chapter Six.

Placed just after
the story of creation

and the generations
of Adam and Eve,

this section of the Hebrew Bible
contains a curious passage.

There is
a very interesting teaching

in older Kabbalistic traditions

that dates back to temple times.

Legend states
that Adam originally was,

by our definition, a Giant,

that the original Adamic race
was not

of the same physical stature
as we human beings are today.

Some claim that the original
Adamic race were Giants.

Is this a legend of symbolism,

or is there something actual
to it?

Was the biblical Adam a Giant?

Could it be that all of humanity
is descended

from a race that was
of a much greater stature?

And that there was a time
on Earth

when Giants were prevalent,
and humans were the anomaly?

When we look
at the modern evolutionary cycle

for human beings,

it's still put on the shoulders
of Darwinistic views.

So anything that steps outside

of those viewpoints
is usually greatly challenged.

Mainstream science has had
a very hard time

wrapping their head
around the idea

that there could have been
a lost race,

part extraterrestrial,
part human.

In mythology, the Giants
were a fact. They did exist.

What we are missing are
the bones of Giants.

From time to time,

anthropologists found
some big bones,

but then, other anthropologists
contradicted it.

But definitely Giants did exist
in the past,

and they were the result
of a mixture

between extraterrestrials
and humans.

Do incredible
megalithic structures,

curious religious traditions

repeated in culture
after culture,

and reports
of enormous human remains

represent the remnants of
a lost civilization of Giants?

And if so,
could these enormous beings

have actually had a hand
in the creation of humankind?

Perhaps one day soon

conclusive evidence of the link
between humans and Giants

will finally come to light.

And we will discover

that within the mythological
tales of our ancestors

lies the true history
of the human race.
