Of an otherworldly encounter.

GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
It is an eyewitness account.

He was taken up and sees
planet Earth underneath him.

WILLIAM HENRY:
He is given powerful

universal knowledge
by angelic beings.

RABBI ARIEL BAR TZADOK:
These angels were not spiritual beings.

They were physical beings,

whose role it is
to direct the affairs

of humanity.

NARRATOR: It is an account

that was strictly forbidden.

TSOUKALOS: These texts
were deemed too dangerous.

NARRATOR: And now,
new technology

may reveal even more
shocking revelations.

We are recovering burned texts,
which, there it is.

TSOUKALOS: Look at this.

This is sensational.

NARRATOR: Could
the Book of Enoch

contain profound truths
about our extraterrestrial past?

And might it even hold the
key to humanity's future?

ERICH VON DANIKEN: Enoch
knew that all these writings

would be found
in the far future.

And Enoch said,
"I will return to this planet."

NARRATOR: 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.

We have never been alone.

NARRATOR: The Tigray highlands,
Ethiopia.

Here, 7,000 feet above sea level

and clinging to the
side of a mountain

stands the Abba
Garima Monastery.

This church is home

to one of Christianity's
most ancient

and spectacular treasures:
the Garima Gospels.

Consisting of two
beautifully illustrated volumes,

it has been dated to
the 6th century AD...

Making it one of the oldest and
most complete Bibles on Earth.

JONATHAN YOUNG: There is the very
earliest Christian churches in Ethiopia.

So there is this
strong connection

to the ancient roots
of Western civilization,

Western religion in Ethiopia.

NARRATOR: Ethiopia's
biblical connections

date back nearly 3,000 years.

In the 10th century BC,
King Solomon,

the builder of the First
Temple in Jerusalem

and the keeper of the
Ark of the Covenant,

was visited by Queen
Makeda of Ethiopia,

also known as the
Queen of Sheba.

YOUNG: The Queen of Sheba,
it is said,

had a relationship with
Solomon and had a son.

When he came of age,
he wanted to meet his father.

And his mother
blessed this journey

up to Israel to meet Solomon.

And he stayed for some time.

And then some, uh,
leaders of the Jewish nation

went back with him to Ethiopia.

Because of this connection
between the Queen of Sheba

and Solomon, there's a large
Jewish population in Ethiopia.

There are many
returnees to the Holy Land,

to Israel from Ethiopia and
other nearby areas in Africa.

Ethiopia is an
unusually holy place.

NARRATOR: Curiously, the Bible
used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church

differs from that of other
Christian denominations.

Its version of the Old Testament

includes a controversial text
known as the Book of Enoch.

The Book of Enoch,
a very, very interesting,

very ancient document,
which, uh, is only found

in the language of Ge'ez,

which is sort of
Ethiopian early language

and has over a hundred
chapters in the full form.

So in the Ethiopian church,

Enoch is considered a,
uh, canonical text.

In other Christian
traditions it is not.

NARRATOR: The author of the book,
according to the text,

is the Jewish patriarch Enoch...
The great-grandfather of Noah.

Enoch is a biblical figure

mentioned in the Book of Genesis,
chapter 5.

What's interesting about
Enoch is a tradition arose

that he never died.

And this is because
in Genesis 5:24,

the text says that
Enoch walked with God,

and then was no more
because God took him.

NARRATOR: But where the Hebrew
Bible only mentions Enoch briefly,

the Book of Enoch,
which consists

of more than 100 chapters,
greatly expands on his story.

In it is a curious passage

that details Enoch's
assent to heaven.

VON DANIKEN: According
to the Book of Enoch,

he says he was 12 years old.

The whole community of
his village wanted to sleep.

But then they hear
the noise in the sky.

[rumbling]

Two angels came
down from the sky.

One of the two beings said to Enoch,
"Don't be afraid, human."

Then they went up to
the so-called heaven.

HENRY: And in the Book of Enoch,
we learn

Enoch himself is taken into
the heavens in a fiery chariot.

VON DANIKEN: Enoch
goes up to the so-called sky

and there Enoch sees
something over the Earth,

which he cannot describe.

He has no word like
"spaceship" or something.

He says it looked
like houses of crystal.

TSOUKALOS: It is
described that he sees

planet Earth underneath him.

He actually
describes his arrival.

How he has to walk
through these different rooms,

where he sees jewels

and he see shiny
surfaces and blinking lights.

It is an eyewitness account.

It's "I, Enoch" did this,
"I, Enoch" saw that.

The Book of Enoch is one
of the first abduction accounts

written down by a
fellow human being.

NARRATOR: Does the Book of Enoch

really describe an
actual abduction event,

one that took place
thousands of years ago?

And if so,
might this incredible close encounter

be documenting communication
with otherworldly beings?

ROBERT CARGILL: Enoch was
said to be at the right hand of God.

In fact, Enoch was said to be
God's scribe in later tradition.

So, God would decree
things and Enoch was the one

who recorded
everything that went on.

So, Enoch was the keeper
of all knowledge of heaven.

HENRY: This is one the reasons

why the Book of Enoch
is so controversial.

He's taken up into the heavenly realms,
to the throne of God,

where he is given powerful
universal knowledge

by angelic beings,
or extraterrestrial beings.

NARRATOR: As far as ancient
astronaut theorists are concerned,

the Book of Enoch is one
of the most compelling texts

ever written documenting
extraterrestrial visitation.

But it is far from unique.

They say that similar
encounters were documented

by many other ancient cultures,
lending support to the notion

that Enoch's
experiences were genuine.

We can find ancient
texts that speak of people

ascending to heaven and
then coming back down.

For example, in ancient Greece,

you have the story of Ganymede

that was taken up
by Zeus's eagle.

Also in ancient China,
and in ancient Sumeria,

and also in ancient Egypt,
are there stories of people

having been visited or
having gone up to the sky

to visit with the so-called gods,
lowercase G.

NARRATOR: While these
other accounts tell a similar story,

none contain the
incredible detail

found within the Book of Enoch.

And some researchers believe

that it was because of
this controversial content

that the text was omitted
from most versions of the Bible.

Not only do-do these
texts infer quite strongly,

uh,
the possibility of extraterrestrial life,

but they also show a
very different side of God.

This type of information,
these type of texts,

this could not be
put into the Bible.

TZADOK: The sages
of the time considered

the teachings of
the Book of Enoch,

if you will, too hot to handle.

And therefore,
it fell along by the wayside,

concealed and hidden.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
the teachings of Enoch reveal

that not all angelic encounters
were of a divine nature?

Is this the secret that
has been kept alive

in the Ethiopian
version of the Bible?

For ancient astronaut theorists,
the Book of Enoch

lies at the heart of an
extraterrestrial agenda

that has been shaping human
history for thousands of years.

And they suggest that
nowhere is this more evident

than in the book's descriptions
of beings called "the Watchers."

[thunder crashes]

KEN BOYDSTON:
What we're doing is just

To end a dispute in
the Anglican church,

King James the First
orders the creation

of a standardized English Bible.

Today, more than four
centuries after its creation,

the King James Version remains
the most famous Bible in history

and one of the most
published books of all time.

Interestingly,
while it contains 66 books,

the Catholic Bible has 73,

and the Ethiopian Orthodox
version is comprised of 81.

But why were so many texts,
including the Book of Enoch,

edited out?

There has always
been accepted literature,

which becomes the
foundation of orthodoxy,

and then there's
other literature

that the accepted
orthodoxy rejects.

Books that don't make it into
the collection of the Bible...

Both the Hebrew Bible
and the New Testament...

Are the Apocrypha.

JULYE BIDMEAD: The word
Apocrypha means hidden things,

and that's probably from

the ancients hiding these texts
away from the general public,

because they could be dangerous.

NARRATOR: "Dangerous"?

Is it possible that the
Book of Enoch was omitted

because it exposed truths

about human history
that were considered

too risky for the
public to know?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest insight can be found

by examining a passage
in the Old Testament.

We know from the Book
of Daniel in chapter 4

that there is a group
of angelic entities,

whose job,
whose role it is as ordained by God

to direct the
affairs of humanity.

These angelic forces
look over our world

and control the
direction of civilization.

NARRATOR: While
this passage is brief,

these beings serve
as the primary focus

of the Book of Enoch,

where they are described
as divine overseers

known as "the Watchers."

VON DANIKEN: Enoch calls them,
in the English version,

"guardians of the sky
or watchers of the sky."

In the German version,
they are called "angels."

No, it was simply another time.

Now we have a new time.

Now we must translate
it with new words.

Change the word of "angel."

Scratch it out and
write "extraterrestrial."

TZADOK: These angels
were not spiritualbeings.

They were physicalbeings.

That is something very clear

about the identity
of biblical angels.

They're not of this world,

and, therefore,
they are not terrestrial.

And, therefore,
they are extraterrestrial.

NARRATOR: According
to the Book of Enoch,

a total of 200 Watchers
descended to Earth.

Enoch gives us
some of the names,

but we know they
were ruled by Samyaza

and Aza... Azazel.

Azazel was later
known as Lucifer.

HUGH NEWMAN: The Watchers
had a very bright appearance

and one of their names
was "the Shining Ones."

And even Enoch,
when he wrote about them, he even said

he could barely look at them
because they were so bright.

NARRATOR: As far as ancient
astronaut theorists are concerned,

the idea that the
Watchers were alien visitors

is most strongly corroborated

by the stories of
the prophet Elijah.

TZADOK: Aside from Enoch,

there was one other
we know from the Bible,

who did ascend to
heaven in chariots of fire,

whatever that is meaning.

And this, of course,
is the famous prophet, Elijah.

Elijah was a powerful,
powerful prophet

who had abilities apparently far
beyond those of other prophets.

Elijah possessed a
power cloak or a garment

that gave him the-the
ability to heal the sick

and even to raise the dead.

And then one day he used
that power cloak or garment

to ascend upon a fiery chariot.

A chariot of the gods.

And when Elijah ascended,
there were 50 prophets

that witnessed his ascension.

TZADOK: The Bible
calls it "chariot of fire."

Now, what is this chariot?

Was it some type of a...

technological
transportation device,

which in ancient times would
not have been understood

as anything else
but a chariot of fire?

NARRATOR: Curiously, while the
idea of the soul ascending to heaven

is a key component of
Judeo-Christian traditions,

there are a number of
instances in the Bible

where it is said that a
person ascends bodily.

In addition to Enoch and Elijah,

this is also the case with both
Jesus and his mother Mary.

But why?

If heaven is a spiritual realm,

why is it written that certain
individuals ascended bodily?

Neither Enoch nor Elijah ever
claimed that they were prophets.

It was the biblical
writers later

who claimed that
they're prophets.

The reason why Enoch
ended up being called a prophet

is because of the
experiences he had.

He was taken up into
space by extraterrestrials,

and we have a
similar story with Elijah.

Enoch, Elijah...

It-It's all part of
the big concept

of misunderstood technology.

NARRATOR: If the Watchers were,
in fact, extraterrestrials...

As ancient astronaut
theorists suggest...

Did they have an
agenda for humankind?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

by examining another
ancient text attributed to Enoch

that was almost
entirely destroyed...

The Book of Giants.

What if there are references

20 miles east of Jerusalem,

at this ancient site in
the Judean Desert...

Bedouin shepherds stumble
upon an extraordinary discovery.

BIDMEAD: The Dead
Sea is surrounded by caves.

And as young
teenage boys would do,

they threw a rock into the cave,

heard the sound
of breaking pots.

Came back the next day,
climbed into the cave,

and what did they find?

They found huge clay jars.

COLLINS: Inside these
storage jars were ancient texts,

which very quickly
they came to realize

that these were
incredibly important.

CARGILL: In these scrolls,

we find biblical manuscripts...

Copies of the Bible that
are a thousand years older

than any previously
known copy of the Bible.

As well as a treasure
trove of documents

that we had never seen before.

NARRATOR: Archaeologists
were surprised to find

that whoever collected
the Dead Sea Scrolls

considered The Book of
Enoch to be of vital importance,

preserving 11
different manuscripts,

including versions never
seen in modern times.

Also found were fragments

of another work
attributed to Enoch...

The Book of Giants.

Some parts of this text
included in the Dead Sea Scrolls

had been lost for centuries,

and many scholars
believe the stories contained

within The Book of Giants

were written before
even the Book of Genesis.

It expounds on Genesis 6:1-4,

when the story is-is begun

that the Watchers
descended upon Earth

and took wives from Earth
women... from human women...

And their offspring were giants.

COLLINS: The Book of
Giants is about the Nephilim,

the sons of the Watchers.

It's about their lives,
uh, their conversations

and they realize
that they are evil.

NARRATOR: According
to The Book of Giants,

the Nephilim were
guilty of horrific crimes,

including slaughtering humans
and feasting on their flesh.

God ultimately decides
the Earth must be cleansed

and chooses one man
to restart humanity anew...

Noah,
the great-grandson of Enoch.

In the Bible, Noah... the son
of a Shepherd named Lamech...

And his wife Betenos
was chosen by God

because of his blameless piety.

But when the Dead Sea
Scrolls were discovered,

religious scholars were
shocked to find a much different

and potentially older
version of the story of Noah.

The Lamech Scroll documents
that Noah became the chosen one

before he was born,

and his father was not Lamech.

TSOUKALOS: When Noah was born,

the father, Lamech,
was gone at the time.

However, the wife of Lamech
knew immediately something was up

with Noah because he didn't
look like a normal human being.

CARTER: He is
described as having skin

so white it was radiant.

His hair was white like wool.

His father, Lamech, says,

"He has the ways
of the Watchers."

When he blinked,
his eyes lit up the whole house.

This does not sound
like a human being.

The boy looked
completely different

than Lamech's other children.

And Lamech said
to his wife Betenos,

"This can't be my son
because I was away too long."

You know,
it doesn't fit with the nine months.

And Lamech goes
for advice to his father

who was the biblical Methuselah.

Methuselah goes to his
father which is Enoch.

Enoch says,
"The guardians of the sky

"have inseminated Betenos
without touching her sexually.

"He should accept
this boy as his own

"and should give
him the name of Noah

"because the guardians
of the sky have decided

Noah is the father of
the coming generation."

So in that case,
proven in the Dead Sea Scrolls,

we know for sure there
was an artificial insemination.

NARRATOR: Is it possible
that the Dead Sea Scrolls

contain the true story of Noah?

Was he not a pious
man chosen by God,

but a genetically altered human,

created by extraterrestrials
to reboot life on Earth?

While further details
about Enoch and Noah

may have existed in
The Book of Giants,

only fragments of the
full text have survived.

But now,
new technology may bring to light

even more
incredible revelations.

Santa Barbara, California.

February 18, 2020.

Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok
and Giorgio Tsoukalos

travel to MegaVision

to meet with imaging
expert Ken Boydston.

- Ken. Good to see you.
- BOYDSTON: Hey.

NARRATOR: Ken recently invented
a revolutionary type of camera

that takes pictures
using a technology

called multispectral imaging.

Giorgio and Ariel are intrigued

by the implications
of this technology,

and they are eager to find
out just how far it can go

in retrieving lost passages
from the Book of Enoch.

TSOUKALOS: Ken,
can you explain to me

the multispectral imaging
system that you have invented?

BOYDSTON Well, multispectral,

simply put,
it's taking a lot of pictures

under different colors of light.

- Mm-hmm.
- And we don't want to see the light that's on the object.

We want to only see the light
that the object is producing

in response to
that light coming in.

What we're doing
is just listening

with light to the object.

"What story do
you have to tell us?"

The camera can see what
the human eye cannot see,

and therein lies the magic
and some of the mystery

and some of the
great excitement,

because we are
able to discover things

that have been hidden
for generations or ages.

Mm-hmm.

NARRATOR: Incredibly,
Ken's camera

is able to retrieve script that
has become eroded with time,

script that was purposely
scrubbed from parchment

and written over,
and even script within scrolls

that cannot be opened because
they are too fragile to handle.

Many of these scrolls might
be thousands of years old,

and as you know,
we can't just open them up and read them

because they will deteriorate,

very similar like the
Dead Sea Scrolls.

TSOUKALOS: Yes. So, can you

- show us how this works?
- BOYDSTON: Yeah.

Let's kind of go
through a little bit of stuff.

NARRATOR: To demonstrate
the power of this technology,

Ken is going to apply
spectral imaging to a document

that has been burned so badly,

much of the text is completely
undetectable to the naked eye.

BOYDSTON: During World War II,
the Nazis

burned vast quantities
of documents...

Ah.

...so we are recovering
the partially burned texts.

- Amazing.
- And so, we're ready to do it.

TSOUKALOS: Lights.

BOYDSTON: Each
time the light flashes,

the shutter clicks,
another picture is captured.

So, you're seeing a little
tiny bit of light right now,

but the camera is
seeing lots of light

because this is
down into the infrared.

All right.

So, out of the visible light
pictures that we just took,

those individual ones,
the computer put them together

and lo and behold,

there's a perfect color
picture of that object,

which would be just
what our eyes see.

- TSOUKALOS: Look at this.
- Which, there it is.

TSOUKALOS: There you go.

- TZADOK: Wow.
- BOYDSTON: There it is.

All of that text right there.

And we can enhance
that a little bit.

We can, uh,
we can push the contrast up a little bit

- on that...
- That word says sÃmera.

- There we go.
- It means "today."

- BOYDSTON: So, um... - Arius.

That's a little demonstration of
what-what the technology can do.

Uh, just, a very quick, and,
uh, compelling, really.

TSOUKALOS: This is extraordinary,
really.

- Wow. - So, just imagine,

uh, if you have thousands
and thousands of these pages,

where, uh,
no one has been able to read them

since they were destroyed.

TSOUKALOS: In front of our eyes,

long-lost knowledge
that has been thought

to have been completely
and utterly destroyed

has been resurrected
with the power of light.

An ancient prophecy said
that towards the coming

of what we will call disclosure,
all of these secrets,

these ancient secrets,
would be brought back to us.

We never understood how,

but now it's actually
happening in front of our eyes.

What if there are references

to extraterrestrials that
we've never seen before?

- There definitely are.
- So it's a corroboration

of what we're already doing.

I mean, this is sensational.

NARRATOR: In 2018,
the Israel Antiquities Authority

studying the Dead
Sea Scrolls announced

that multispectral analysis had
uncovered writings on a fragment

that points to a previously
unknown manuscript.

Once it's discovered,
what will this missing manuscript reveal?

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

there could be numerous
lost texts of Enoch

that will come to light.

Texts that were hidden
in secure locations

so that they would survive

a devastating
global cataclysm...

...the Great Flood.

COLLINS: The
world was devastated

NARRATOR: The Book of Genesis.

In chapters six through nine,

it is described that God
had become deeply troubled

by the wickedness
of the human race,

and decided to
bring it to an end

by sending a great
flood upon the Earth.

Only Noah and his family would survive,
and it was God himself

who gave Noah instructions
for building the Ark

that would save both them
and two of every earthly creature.

The Book of Enoch
tells the same story,

but with significant
differences.

KATHLEEN McGOWAN: One of the
differences is that in the Book of Enoch,

the flood washes away
these rebellious angels.

And it washes away the Nephilim,
as opposed

to the traditional flood story,

which washes away people who
have been rebellious and sinful.

God is protecting us
in the Book of Enoch.

It is a very different God
than the spiteful, wrathful God

that we see in the
Genesis account.

NARRATOR: Another key difference

in Enoch's account is that
Noah is not given instructions

to build the Ark by God,
but by the angel Uriel.

HENRY: The archangel Uriel
is the one who warned Noah

about the impending flood,
and who told him

about humanity's future and
the possibility of this cataclysm.

What we're witnessing
here is an extraordinary story

of an extraterrestrial being
having a tremendous...

In fact,
incalculable influence on human affairs.

NARRATOR: Does Enoch's
account of the Great Flood reveal

that it is not a story of
God punishing humankind,

but of extraterrestrials

directing the
course of humanity?

As far as many religious
scholars are concerned,

both the biblical version

and the Enochian
version of the Great Flood

are simply allegorical tales.

But an increasing number of
archaeologists and historians

now believe that this global
cataclysm actually happened.

Uzengili, Turkey. 1997.

After years of research,

American explorer David Allen
Deal has become convinced

that the biblical story of Noah is,
in fact, historical,

and is on the hunt to find
the remnants of the Ark.

At an elevation of more than 7,000 feet,
near Mount Ararat,

where the Bible says
Noah's Ark eventually landed,

he stumbles upon the ruins
of an ancient settlement.

DAVID CHILDRESS:
What he discovered

is what's known as the lost
city of-of Noah, or-or Naxuan.

And this is an area that's near
a strange geological formation

that some people think
is actually Noah's Ark.

NARRATOR: The ancient
Armenian historian Moses of Chorene

identified Naxuan as the
place of Noah's first descent.

Could this be
the first settlement

in a post-flood world?

A recent archeological
dig reportedly uncovered

something remarkable:

the region may contain
millions of graves.

CHILDRESS: Because
Noah's tomb is said to be here,

a huge cemetery has grown
up around this lost city of Noah.

And people from all over the
Middle East in ancient times,

uh,
insisted on being buried in this area.

NARRATOR: Researchers
suggest that Naxuan

is just one of many
points of evidence

that support the notion
of a historical great flood.

What we now know from
incredible amount of evidence

coming from every
part of the world,

is that around 10,800 BC,

the world was devastated
by some kind of impact event.

And this devastated
every part of the landscape,

what today we might
refer to as a nuclear winter

that blotted out the Sun,
the Moon and the stars.

There's something
called the Usselo horizon

that's been found
all over the world.

It's like a layer of black ash.

This suggests there
was a great conflagration

that took place,
great fires and burning,

and it left this layer
all around the world.

And it dates to between
11,000 and 13,000 years ago.

So this does suggest
something very serious

took place at this time.

NARRATOR: Could
this layer of ash,

found roughly 50 feet
deep in the Earth's soil,

be evidence of a
devastating global event?

According to geologist
Dr. Robert Schoch,

a worldwide cataclysm,
and the resulting layer of ash,

was likely created
by a solar flare,

a sudden flash of increased
brightness on the Sun.

SCHOCH: Based on my
analysis of the evidence

is that there was a major,
major solar outburst.

The Sun essentially erupted.

This caused, in a flash,

the glaciers to melt
virtually instantaneously.

It caused evaporation of water.

This not only led to
the rising sea levels,

flooding the coastal
areas and torrential rains.

We have physical evidence
of this in the geological record.

NARRATOR: Could
the Book of Enoch

overturn everything we know

about the history
of life on our planet?

Did Enoch intend
to make a record

of extraterrestrial
intervention on Earth

for future generations
of humans to discover?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes

and suggest there
are still chapters

we have yet to uncover.

Chapters that may be hidden

within the Great Pyramid.

TSOUKALOS: The
pyramids were built

Here on the Giza Plateau

stands the oldest

of the Seven Wonders
of the Ancient World:

the Great Pyramid.

But ancient astronaut theorists
suspect this awesome structure

is even older than
Egyptologists have proposed.

Mainstream archaeologists

date the Great
Pyramid to 2500 BC

and suggest it
was built as a tomb

for the pharaoh Khufu.

However,
according to a 14th century account

written by Islamic
historian Ibrahim al-Maqrizi,

the Pyramid of Giza was built
thousands of years earlier...

before the event described
in both the Hebrew Bible

and the Book of Enoch
as "the Great Flood."

VON DANIKEN: Now what is very,
very astonishing,

there are many other
old historian books,

especially Arabian historians,

which nobody knows
in the Western world.

They say the Great
Pyramid was constructed

before the Great Flood,
by a pharaoh

with the name of Saurid.

And they precisely say
Saurid is the same figure,

which the Hebrew
community calls Enoch.

NARRATOR: Enoch?

The builder of the
Great Pyramid?

Could such an
incredible notion be true?

The Islamic text
goes on to detail

the pyramid's construction,
which it says was made possible

by otherworldly beings.

TSOUKALOS:
According to al-Maqrizi,

the pyramids were built in
order to preserve knowledge

that was given to the Egyptians

by the so-called gods,
the so-called Watchers,

the guardians of the sky.

These blocks were
levitated and essentially

walked themselves into position.

NARRATOR: Was the Great Pyramid

actually built by Enoch

using extraterrestrial
technology?

While it may sound far-fetched,

the notion that the
pharaoh Khufu was behind

the construction of the pyramid

has come under great scrutiny.

In 1837, a British colonel,
who became an archeologist

named Richard
Howard-Vyse used dynamite

to get up into the king's
chamber of the Great Pyramid.

This was something
that had not been entered

by other archeologists before.

When he got into
these upper chambers,

he then apparently claimed that he found,
uh,

some hieroglyphic cartouches

that mentioned
the pharaoh Khufu.

Egyptologists knew
when Khufu lived,

he lived 2500, roughly, BC.

And because of that,
by extension,

that became the
time line and the date

of the Great
Pyramid's construction,

according to
mainstream Egyptology.

NARRATOR: Colonel
Vyse's expedition

to the Great Pyramid
cost $1.3 million,

a figure equal to
$35 million today.

Due to the cost,
Vyse was under tremendous pressure

to make a major discovery...

Like finding hard evidence
of who commissioned

the building of the pyramid.

But new evidence has
been found that some believe

puts Vyse's discovery
into question.

Recently it has been discovered

by going through,
uh, Vyse's journals

that he in his
journals actually says

that there were no
hieroglyphs within this chamber.

And so it is suspected
that Vyse did in fact

forge this cartouche
of the pharaoh Khufu.

NARRATOR: Egyptologists
have also pointed out

that during the time of Khufu,

cartouches were
written vertically,

but the cartouche Colonel
Vyse claimed to have discovered

was written horizontally.

And no mummy was ever
found inside the Great Pyramid.

VON DANIKEN:
Especially in Egyptology,

many archeologists believe
that they know everything,

and that their
knowledge is a true base.

In reality,
there are thousands of open questions,

starting with the builder
of the Great Pyramid.

NARRATOR: In March 2016,

the Great Pyramid of Giza

presented researchers
with yet another mystery.

Archeologists examining
the ancient structure

with a new technology
known as muography,

made a shocking discovery...

A mysterious chamber
inside the structure

that is as large as
the Statue of Liberty.

CHILDRESS: It's
always exciting when

Egyptologists are
making new discoveries

inside of the Great
Pyramid or other pyramids.

And now they're
saying that there is

a 30-meter void
inside the pyramid.

So the whole idea
that these pyramids are

just simple tombs for a pharaoh,

Egyptologists now realize

that they're far
more complicated.

This new room is
only the beginning of it.

I'm sure within the next months,
or at least two years,

they will discover more
rooms in the Great Pyramid.

I personally think that
the Great Pyramid in Egypt

holds some sort of time capsule.

In my opinion,
we will find mummies in there.

Mummies of before
the Great Flood.

And we will find
writings in there.

Writings of Enoch,
who tell us how it all was.

Enoch knew that
all these writings

would be found
in the far future.

NARRATOR: A time capsule hidden
within the Great Pyramid of Giza?

When the Great Pyramid
of Egypt is fully excavated,

could it be found to
hold undeniable proof

that the Book of Enoch documents

extraterrestrial
intervention on Earth?

And might it reveal
even more profound truths

about the history of humankind?

As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

the answer is a resounding yes.

And they say further
examination of the Bible

may indicate exactly
what information

is about to be discovered.

NARRATOR: The Book of Enoch.

Chapter 91.

After journeying through
the heavenly realm

and returning to Earth,

Enoch is preparing
to be taken back up

into the heavens once again.

Before he leaves,
Enoch gathers together his family

and shares with them
a startling prophecy.

He assembles the whole family.

The oldest of his
son was Methuselah,

the biblical Methuselah.

Methuselah asked his father,

"Enoch, will I see you again?"

And Enoch said,
"The guardians of the sky told me

"I will return to this planet,

"but thousands of
years will have passed.

So we will not see
each other again."

NARRATOR: The concept of a divine
figure leaving and returning to Earth

is echoed across almost
every major religion.

HUSSAIN: In the
Jewish tradition,

there's the expectation
the prophet Elijah

will return before the Messiah
and bring in this age of peace

and righteousness that
ushers in the end of time.

In the Christian tradition,
the return of Jesus,

who for Christians
is the Messiah.

In the Islamic tradition, you know,
it's either the Al-Mahdi,

the divinely guided one,
or it's Muhammad who will return.

In a sense,
this ushers in a brand-new age,

a brand-new
relationship with God,

a brand-new way of
existing in the world.

LAYNE LITTLE: There's
a body of Hindu scriptures

known as the
Puranas and these tell

about the tenth
and final incarnation

of the god Vishnu

that comes at the end

of this present cycle of time.

These prophecies speak
of this Messianic figure

riding upon the
clouds of heaven,

accompanied by
the armies of heaven.

This suggests that we're talking

about some kind of
a vehicle or a craft.

TSOUKALOS: This whole
concept of the return of the gods...

Well, who are we waiting for?

It will not be any of these
ancient "saintly figures"

or-or holy figures, but it
will be extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that

humankind's most sacred
religious texts

document
extraterrestrial intervention

on Earth?

And might the teachings of Enoch

have been meant
to prepare humanity

for the day when we will awaken
to a profound new reality?

Perhaps the Book of Enoch
has yet to be completed.

And when the final chapter
is written,

we will know that it is not
a story of angels...

but of our alien ancestors.
