1
00:00:01,927 --> 00:00:05,291
Seven stone giants
standing guard
2
00:00:05,293 --> 00:00:07,299
over a Pacific island.
3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,904
But what are they protecting,
and from whom?
4
00:00:10,907 --> 00:00:12,845
According to
the people of the island,
5
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,371
they face the actual homeland
of their ancestors.
6
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:21,832
Could the answer be
found some 2,000 miles away?
7
00:00:21,986 --> 00:00:24,605
We are baffled
by what it's all about.
8
00:00:24,681 --> 00:00:26,425
Ancient astronaut theorists,
9
00:00:26,426 --> 00:00:29,225
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and David Childress
10
00:00:29,381 --> 00:00:31,652
embark on an
incredible journey...
11
00:00:31,806 --> 00:00:32,926
This is the famous Hiva.
12
00:00:33,054 --> 00:00:35,551
...to a land
of bizarre figures...
13
00:00:35,707 --> 00:00:39,899
Look at all these heads with
the big goggle-shaped eyes.
14
00:00:40,054 --> 00:00:42,072
...and forbidden places...
15
00:00:42,073 --> 00:00:44,045
If you step on the site,
16
00:00:44,046 --> 00:00:46,945
something bad is going
to happen to you.
17
00:00:47,100 --> 00:00:48,871
...in search of what could be
18
00:00:48,874 --> 00:00:52,179
the ultimate evidence
of mankind's
19
00:00:52,201 --> 00:00:54,411
extraterrestrial origins.
20
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:56,878
If we can crack the
mysteries of Easter Island,
21
00:00:57,033 --> 00:00:59,018
we're going to be able to open
up once and for all
22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,770
the true mysteries
of the ancient world.
23
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,491
Easter Sunday,
24
00:01:32,501 --> 00:01:35,525
April 5, 1722.
25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,912
Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen
26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,604
is 2,300 miles off the coast
of Chile,
27
00:01:42,661 --> 00:01:46,338
leading a fleet of three ships
on an expedition to establish
28
00:01:46,493 --> 00:01:49,418
a western trade route
to the Spice Islands.
29
00:01:49,593 --> 00:01:53,412
In the early afternoon,
he is alerted by his crew
30
00:01:53,521 --> 00:01:56,331
that they have spotted
a small island,
31
00:01:56,507 --> 00:02:00,239
and that there is smoke rising
from it in several places,
32
00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:02,924
suggesting that it is inhabited.
33
00:02:02,980 --> 00:02:06,192
When they reach the shore,
they are surprised
34
00:02:06,281 --> 00:02:08,538
by the appearance
of some of the natives.
35
00:02:08,693 --> 00:02:10,764
When Roggeveen and his crew
36
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:13,838
discovered Easter Island
in 1722,
37
00:02:13,993 --> 00:02:16,831
accounts were written down
38
00:02:16,834 --> 00:02:19,079
that not only
did they stumble across
39
00:02:19,234 --> 00:02:22,399
normal Polynesian-looking
people, but as well,
40
00:02:22,554 --> 00:02:24,891
people of giant proportions,
41
00:02:24,894 --> 00:02:27,032
who were light skinned,
had red hair,
42
00:02:27,187 --> 00:02:28,792
and even blonde hair.
43
00:02:28,947 --> 00:02:31,831
As recorded in the ship's log,
44
00:02:31,834 --> 00:02:36,019
they also made another,
even more unexpected discovery.
45
00:02:36,174 --> 00:02:38,352
"We noticed certain
46
00:02:38,353 --> 00:02:41,058
"remarkably tall stone figures.
47
00:02:41,213 --> 00:02:45,245
"These stone figures caused us
to be filled with wonder,
48
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,399
"for we could not understand how
it was possible to erect them.
49
00:02:49,554 --> 00:02:52,884
"Some of these statues were
a good 30 feet in height
50
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,859
and broad in proportion."
51
00:02:58,326 --> 00:03:02,019
Roggeveen named this
remote land "Easter Island,"
52
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,485
after the day on which
it was discovered.
53
00:03:04,540 --> 00:03:08,792
But today,
nearly 300 years later,
54
00:03:08,881 --> 00:03:11,991
Roggeveen's questions concerning
the strange appearance
55
00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:15,292
of the natives, as well as
the origins and purpose
56
00:03:15,381 --> 00:03:18,711
of the gigantic stone statues,
known as moai,
57
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:20,991
have yet to be answered.
58
00:03:21,146 --> 00:03:23,852
One can imagine that the moai,
59
00:03:24,007 --> 00:03:26,197
being set up all around
the island with their backs
60
00:03:26,221 --> 00:03:28,037
to the outside world
looking inwards,
61
00:03:28,061 --> 00:03:31,852
were a kind
of protective barrier
62
00:03:31,853 --> 00:03:33,812
that the ancestors
would look after them,
63
00:03:33,813 --> 00:03:35,991
and protect their little world.
64
00:03:36,001 --> 00:03:38,072
The thing about these moai
65
00:03:38,227 --> 00:03:42,012
is that they have these very
strange faces, very elongated.
66
00:03:42,014 --> 00:03:43,591
They don't look quite human.
67
00:03:43,593 --> 00:03:45,338
They're humanoid,
68
00:03:45,493 --> 00:03:47,899
but they're somehow different
than ordinary humans.
69
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,378
They look almost alien
in appearance.
70
00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:54,551
And you have to wonder, what do
they ultimately represent?
71
00:03:54,727 --> 00:03:56,991
Carved from volcanic rock,
72
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,405
the nearly 900 moai each weigh
up to 90 tons,
73
00:04:01,580 --> 00:04:04,324
and the tallest of them tower
above the landscape
74
00:04:04,501 --> 00:04:07,905
at heights of more than 30 feet.
75
00:04:07,907 --> 00:04:11,092
There have been many theories
over the years
76
00:04:11,266 --> 00:04:13,592
as to how they were moved.
77
00:04:13,766 --> 00:04:16,612
The first theory is thought
78
00:04:16,766 --> 00:04:19,139
that they must have been
dragged horizontally
79
00:04:19,161 --> 00:04:23,132
on sledges or rollers
or something of that kind.
80
00:04:23,134 --> 00:04:26,158
It was tried again recently
for a TV film,
81
00:04:26,334 --> 00:04:28,132
and again they moved it
a few meters
82
00:04:28,134 --> 00:04:31,178
but it really doesn't, uh,
prove anything.
83
00:04:31,353 --> 00:04:32,711
The idea
84
00:04:32,867 --> 00:04:35,338
that the trees were cut down
at some point,
85
00:04:35,494 --> 00:04:40,158
and they were all used
for rollers, wooden logs,
86
00:04:40,180 --> 00:04:43,351
falls by the wayside,
because wooden rollers
87
00:04:43,507 --> 00:04:45,538
would not be able to support
88
00:04:45,694 --> 00:04:48,999
the weight of some
of these statues.
89
00:04:49,021 --> 00:04:52,204
You're talking about
several hundred statues,
90
00:04:52,206 --> 00:04:55,284
and it would depend on the size
and weight of the statue,
91
00:04:55,286 --> 00:04:57,851
the number of people you had
available to help,
92
00:04:58,007 --> 00:05:01,105
the distance you were going
to go, the kind of terrain.
93
00:05:01,161 --> 00:05:04,612
So, basically,
we don't really know.
94
00:05:04,766 --> 00:05:08,838
For ancient astronaut theorists,
95
00:05:09,014 --> 00:05:11,824
the answers to just how
the moai were transported
96
00:05:11,980 --> 00:05:14,098
and positioned in the island
97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,665
can be found in the legends told
by the native people,
98
00:05:17,821 --> 00:05:20,944
legends that suggested
a type of energy,
99
00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:24,345
known as "mana,"
was used to literally levitate
100
00:05:24,346 --> 00:05:28,365
the giant sculptures into place.
101
00:05:28,367 --> 00:05:32,058
According with, uh, oral
tradition and the legends...
102
00:05:41,307 --> 00:05:43,764
The king was given
the gift of mana
103
00:05:43,821 --> 00:05:47,112
from the great creator god,
Makemake.
104
00:05:47,266 --> 00:05:50,105
Legend holds
that the king commanded
105
00:05:50,261 --> 00:05:52,959
that these
great stone statues walk.
106
00:05:56,180 --> 00:05:58,845
And one has to wonder,
107
00:05:58,846 --> 00:06:01,192
well, either they all
108
00:06:01,346 --> 00:06:04,444
were off their rockers
describing these things,
109
00:06:04,521 --> 00:06:07,004
or they witnessed something.
110
00:06:07,180 --> 00:06:09,180
And I'm leaning more
in the direction
111
00:06:09,307 --> 00:06:11,172
that they witnessed something
112
00:06:11,346 --> 00:06:15,872
because there had to have been
a spark of inspiration.
113
00:06:15,874 --> 00:06:17,932
And so, in my opinion,
114
00:06:17,934 --> 00:06:21,959
mana was some type of
extraterrestrial technology
115
00:06:21,980 --> 00:06:25,231
that allowed these stones
116
00:06:25,321 --> 00:06:28,731
to be levitated into place.
117
00:06:28,887 --> 00:06:31,718
When the statues had pupils,
118
00:06:31,874 --> 00:06:34,579
they came to life,
119
00:06:34,581 --> 00:06:38,231
imbued with mana to have
supernatural powers.
120
00:06:38,233 --> 00:06:41,264
According to
the Easter Island myth,
121
00:06:41,266 --> 00:06:45,759
this power came out of the eyes
of the statues,
122
00:06:45,761 --> 00:06:48,504
and was this mystical power.
123
00:06:48,661 --> 00:06:50,858
It's like it was creating
some kind
124
00:06:50,901 --> 00:06:53,918
of force field of energy
125
00:06:53,941 --> 00:06:57,699
that surrounded the island
and protected it.
126
00:06:57,853 --> 00:07:00,925
So you have to wonder if there's
something real here,
127
00:07:00,980 --> 00:07:05,338
and was it some kind of
extraterrestrial technology?
128
00:07:05,341 --> 00:07:09,651
Of all the many
mysteries of Easter Island,
129
00:07:09,740 --> 00:07:11,939
perhaps the most puzzling
involves
130
00:07:12,093 --> 00:07:13,976
not only the construction
of the moai,
131
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,824
but their positioning
on the island.
132
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,704
880 of the 887 moai face inland,
133
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:26,351
but on the west edge
of the island,
134
00:07:26,353 --> 00:07:28,964
seven of the moai
are positioned on a platform
135
00:07:29,141 --> 00:07:31,271
known as Ahu Akivi,
136
00:07:31,274 --> 00:07:34,619
and face outwardly,
towards the sea.
137
00:07:34,641 --> 00:07:36,911
Moais face in, it's believed,
138
00:07:36,913 --> 00:07:39,478
because they're protecting
the village that they oversee.
139
00:07:39,634 --> 00:07:44,519
Ahu Akivi is the one exception.
140
00:07:44,521 --> 00:07:48,271
The moais there look out to sea.
141
00:07:48,427 --> 00:07:53,425
Not only that,
they're identical.
142
00:07:53,427 --> 00:07:57,524
But why would these
seven identical moai face out
143
00:07:57,526 --> 00:08:01,798
to sea, when all of the other
moai on the island face inland?
144
00:08:01,954 --> 00:08:06,471
Could it be that they were meant
to point to a specific location
145
00:08:06,627 --> 00:08:09,052
somewhere farther out?
146
00:08:09,141 --> 00:08:12,925
Perhaps the answer can be found
by drawing a straight line
147
00:08:12,927 --> 00:08:16,632
from the line of sight
of the seven moai.
148
00:08:16,786 --> 00:08:20,278
Following it on
a northwesterly route,
149
00:08:20,434 --> 00:08:24,399
the first landmass in its path
is the Marquesas Islands,
150
00:08:24,553 --> 00:08:28,231
roughly 2,300 miles
from Easter Island.
151
00:08:28,387 --> 00:08:31,105
The Marquesas are an
extremely remote island group,
152
00:08:31,161 --> 00:08:33,451
which is part of
French Polynesia.
153
00:08:33,626 --> 00:08:37,644
It's a three-and-a-half-hour
flight northeast of Tahiti.
154
00:08:37,647 --> 00:08:41,178
And it's a part of what's known
as the Polynesian triangle,
155
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:44,278
which is bound by Hawaii
in the north,
156
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,245
Easter Island in the east,
157
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,465
and New Zealand in the west.
158
00:08:50,466 --> 00:08:55,684
It was the last place on Earth
that was discovered.
159
00:08:55,841 --> 00:08:57,990
And there's probably more
mystery shrouded in the Pacific
160
00:08:58,014 --> 00:08:59,576
than any other place
in the world.
161
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,932
To follow up on
the incredible theory
162
00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:05,504
that Easter Island's origins
might be found
163
00:09:05,561 --> 00:09:07,859
on one of the remote
Marquesas Islands,
164
00:09:08,014 --> 00:09:12,339
in June, 2018,
ancient astronaut theorists
165
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,658
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and David Childress
166
00:09:15,660 --> 00:09:18,678
set out to explore the islands
for themselves.
167
00:09:18,701 --> 00:09:20,557
This is gonna be a great
exploration
168
00:09:20,581 --> 00:09:22,359
to see what connection there is
169
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,711
between Easter Island
and right here.
170
00:09:24,721 --> 00:09:25,961
Should be quite the adventure.
171
00:09:35,586 --> 00:09:36,798
- Hello.
- Hello.
172
00:09:36,974 --> 00:09:38,769
I'm Giorgio.
Pleasure to meet you.
173
00:09:38,793 --> 00:09:41,892
- I'm Aniata.
- Hi, I'm David.
174
00:09:42,047 --> 00:09:44,479
Arriving on one of
the Marquesas Islands,
175
00:09:44,634 --> 00:09:47,719
ancient astronaut theorists
Giorgio Tsoukalos
176
00:09:47,740 --> 00:09:49,778
and David Childress meet
177
00:09:49,933 --> 00:09:52,459
with local guide
Aniata Kimitete.
178
00:09:52,634 --> 00:09:53,804
Let's go explore.
179
00:09:53,807 --> 00:09:55,879
- Great.
- All right.
180
00:09:55,921 --> 00:10:00,631
She has brought them
to an area known as Kamuihei,
181
00:10:00,634 --> 00:10:03,251
a sacred place believed
to be rich
182
00:10:03,260 --> 00:10:07,384
in what the natives call "mana"
or spiritual power.
183
00:10:07,386 --> 00:10:11,519
Here, they hope to find
the answer as to why seven
184
00:10:11,561 --> 00:10:15,205
of the nearly 900 giant statues
on Easter Island
185
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,678
are all facing in the direction
of this remote island chain
186
00:10:18,681 --> 00:10:20,639
in the South Pacific.
187
00:10:22,413 --> 00:10:24,711
So we are arriving
188
00:10:24,713 --> 00:10:26,538
at this spot
where I really wanted
189
00:10:26,561 --> 00:10:27,760
to show you about this site.
190
00:10:27,854 --> 00:10:28,854
Oh, look at this.
191
00:10:31,140 --> 00:10:33,812
What we see here
is what we call petroglyphs.
192
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:35,119
Yeah.
193
00:10:35,274 --> 00:10:38,099
So you have three turtles.
194
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,871
So one, two, three here.
195
00:10:41,961 --> 00:10:46,345
And also, on the rock,
you can see a canoe.
196
00:10:46,500 --> 00:10:48,341
- Okay.
- So you have the head
197
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,698
of the canoe here that looks
a little bit like a bird.
198
00:10:51,721 --> 00:10:54,058
Their canoes had
a bird head at the front.
199
00:10:54,234 --> 00:10:56,205
Do you see the beak?
200
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,611
- Yeah, that looks like a bird head.
- Yeah.
201
00:10:58,767 --> 00:11:00,979
And what is the
significance of the turtles?
202
00:11:01,134 --> 00:11:06,379
The turtle is actually
the messenger from the gods.
203
00:11:06,533 --> 00:11:09,259
He was a very sacred animal.
204
00:11:09,260 --> 00:11:11,029
People were not allowed
to eat them.
205
00:11:11,053 --> 00:11:12,438
You know, I think
206
00:11:12,614 --> 00:11:14,342
this is really interested
what you said,
207
00:11:14,366 --> 00:11:16,024
that the turtle is regarded here
208
00:11:16,201 --> 00:11:18,198
as a messenger of the gods,
209
00:11:18,354 --> 00:11:20,090
because this is not
something new.
210
00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:23,184
It's not something native
to this area.
211
00:11:23,187 --> 00:11:25,325
There are other parts
of the world
212
00:11:25,326 --> 00:11:26,945
where the turtle is described
213
00:11:27,100 --> 00:11:29,565
by having descended
from the sky.
214
00:11:29,567 --> 00:11:33,399
And the idea that this is here,
too, considered
215
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,731
a messenger of the gods,
that, to me, is a connection
216
00:11:36,734 --> 00:11:39,338
to potential extraterrestrials.
217
00:11:39,514 --> 00:11:41,399
Throughout the world,
218
00:11:41,553 --> 00:11:45,032
numerous ancient cultures
have origin stories
219
00:11:45,033 --> 00:11:49,011
that involve some sort of
a divine or "cosmic" turtle.
220
00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:53,471
Followers of Japanese Shinto
venerate the Kame-ishi,
221
00:11:53,581 --> 00:11:57,951
a stone turtle that portends
the end of the world.
222
00:11:57,961 --> 00:12:02,379
In Guatemala, there are legends
of giant flying turtles,
223
00:12:02,533 --> 00:12:06,245
and even artifacts that feature
the image of a man wearing
224
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,072
what appears to be a helmet
lying inside a turtle shell.
225
00:12:11,246 --> 00:12:14,999
In North America,
the Iroquois Indians tell tales
226
00:12:15,173 --> 00:12:17,338
of a "sky goddess"
227
00:12:17,494 --> 00:12:19,131
who falls to Earth from the sky,
228
00:12:19,287 --> 00:12:21,499
whereupon a giant turtle
rises up
229
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,519
from the ocean to catch her.
230
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,552
I think it's interesting here,
231
00:12:27,553 --> 00:12:30,065
this canoe, which would have
been very large,
232
00:12:30,221 --> 00:12:32,164
has the bird head on it.
233
00:12:32,167 --> 00:12:33,985
And you have the Birdmen
234
00:12:33,986 --> 00:12:35,986
of Easter Island
that are so famous.
235
00:12:38,606 --> 00:12:42,119
One of Easter Island's
ancient traditions involves
236
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,239
Tangata manu,
or the Birdman cult.
237
00:12:45,413 --> 00:12:49,719
According to legend,
the creator god, Makemake,
238
00:12:49,874 --> 00:12:53,912
was looking in a mirror and saw
a bird land on his shoulder.
239
00:12:54,067 --> 00:12:56,552
Seeing his image combined
with the bird,
240
00:12:56,561 --> 00:13:01,011
he decided to make a son
who was half man, half bird.
241
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:04,692
In turn, the Rapa Nui people
of Easter Island worshipped
242
00:13:04,693 --> 00:13:09,139
the Birdman as the predecessor
of all humans.
243
00:13:10,780 --> 00:13:14,345
One of the central focuses
of the rituals,
244
00:13:14,500 --> 00:13:17,384
the annual rituals
at Easter Island,
245
00:13:17,441 --> 00:13:22,892
was that of Tangata manu,
the Birdman.
246
00:13:23,067 --> 00:13:26,519
And the Birdman is
a universal symbol
247
00:13:26,673 --> 00:13:29,298
that we find in many parts
of the globe
248
00:13:29,341 --> 00:13:34,038
that relates to ancestry
associated with figures,
249
00:13:34,213 --> 00:13:37,412
characters in feather coats
who were seen
250
00:13:37,567 --> 00:13:41,979
to be able to go between
this world and the next.
251
00:13:42,134 --> 00:13:46,532
And here we have the same ideas
on Easter Island.
252
00:13:46,687 --> 00:13:49,052
Is there more to see
on the island?
253
00:13:49,206 --> 00:13:51,639
We have a lot more
to see on the island.
254
00:13:51,793 --> 00:13:53,778
- Okay.
- So let's go. - Okay.
255
00:13:53,933 --> 00:13:56,812
After showing Giorgio and David
256
00:13:56,966 --> 00:14:00,038
the ancient petroglyphs,
Aniata takes them to a site
257
00:14:00,193 --> 00:14:02,511
that has some of the most
striking statuary
258
00:14:02,514 --> 00:14:04,804
in the Marquesas.
259
00:14:04,961 --> 00:14:07,412
Right now,
we are at the Tohua of Temehea.
260
00:14:07,421 --> 00:14:10,384
So, the
tohua
is the gathering place.
261
00:14:10,386 --> 00:14:14,418
And so this sculpture here
is a modern sculpture.
262
00:14:14,421 --> 00:14:17,631
But is this based
on something old?
263
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,572
Yes. Because the site
that we're on was rebuilt.
264
00:14:21,573 --> 00:14:23,024
Even though it's modern,
265
00:14:23,201 --> 00:14:25,379
it's really based
on the original statue.
266
00:14:25,553 --> 00:14:27,004
Oh, wow. Okay.
267
00:14:27,181 --> 00:14:29,091
Is this considered a tiki?
268
00:14:29,094 --> 00:14:32,798
Yes, these tikis represent
the population.
269
00:14:32,801 --> 00:14:34,578
So, to the Marquesan people,
270
00:14:34,734 --> 00:14:36,432
wh-what is a tiki?
271
00:14:36,586 --> 00:14:40,052
A tiki, at first, was
the representation of our god
272
00:14:40,226 --> 00:14:42,312
of magic and sorcery.
273
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,325
He was one of the only god
in French Polynesia that has
274
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:47,480
the face of a man.
275
00:14:49,201 --> 00:14:52,172
He became our protector,
276
00:14:52,173 --> 00:14:54,119
because when you have a tiki
277
00:14:54,293 --> 00:14:56,759
by your side, then you're
protected from your enemy.
278
00:14:56,913 --> 00:14:59,065
In the Marquesas,
279
00:14:59,067 --> 00:15:01,639
the word "tiki"
can be used to refer
280
00:15:01,793 --> 00:15:04,158
both to an ancestral figure
that came to the islands
281
00:15:04,313 --> 00:15:05,759
in ancient times
282
00:15:05,913 --> 00:15:09,211
as well as the statues
that represent him.
283
00:15:09,366 --> 00:15:12,991
They are variously carved
in both wood and stone
284
00:15:12,994 --> 00:15:18,085
and often depict a being
with large, goggle-like eyes.
285
00:15:18,086 --> 00:15:22,312
The lore has it that
Tiki was the primary ancestor
286
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,284
and was created in the image
of the sky god.
287
00:15:25,441 --> 00:15:28,784
The local people made statues
in honor of their creator god,
288
00:15:28,941 --> 00:15:31,158
Tiki, and used them in worship.
289
00:15:33,014 --> 00:15:35,572
And this is
what Tiki looks like,
290
00:15:35,573 --> 00:15:38,164
- as a god?
- Yes, because th-they say
291
00:15:38,167 --> 00:15:40,745
in the legend that,
when Tiki left
292
00:15:40,746 --> 00:15:42,772
the Earth,
they made the sculpture
293
00:15:42,927 --> 00:15:44,698
of how he looked like,
294
00:15:44,701 --> 00:15:48,011
just to have something
to remember from Tiki.
295
00:15:48,020 --> 00:15:50,605
So that's how he looked like,
actually.
296
00:15:50,606 --> 00:15:52,004
He looks very strange to me.
297
00:15:52,061 --> 00:15:54,318
This is a representation
298
00:15:54,474 --> 00:15:57,445
of what your ancestors thought
299
00:15:57,447 --> 00:15:59,932
this figure looked like.
300
00:16:00,086 --> 00:16:01,552
It doesn't look like a man.
301
00:16:01,726 --> 00:16:03,839
It looks... weird.
302
00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:06,061
Yeah, I mean,
he-he sort of looks like a man,
303
00:16:06,193 --> 00:16:08,804
but, with these big goggle eyes
304
00:16:08,961 --> 00:16:11,424
and the elongated head
and everything,
305
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,879
he looks
like an extraterrestrial.
306
00:16:15,961 --> 00:16:17,631
From what you know,
307
00:16:17,787 --> 00:16:20,818
do you think
that the people of the Marquesas
308
00:16:20,974 --> 00:16:23,278
went as far as Easter Island?
309
00:16:23,301 --> 00:16:24,438
Are there any legends or stories
310
00:16:24,461 --> 00:16:26,023
- behind that?
- So, there is
311
00:16:26,047 --> 00:16:28,611
one story where...
when they said, um,
312
00:16:28,767 --> 00:16:32,778
that one chief of the island
sent his seven sons
313
00:16:32,933 --> 00:16:34,572
to Easter Island,
314
00:16:34,573 --> 00:16:37,711
because they were fighting a lot
over here.
315
00:16:37,713 --> 00:16:39,091
So he sent them away.
316
00:16:39,246 --> 00:16:41,599
Told them, uh,
if they wanted to come back,
317
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,681
they had to make peace
with one another.
318
00:16:44,647 --> 00:16:46,772
Seven brothers?
319
00:16:46,927 --> 00:16:50,605
Princes who left the Marquesas
Islands for Easter Island
320
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,111
hundreds of years ago?
321
00:16:53,267 --> 00:16:55,259
I think it's really fascinating
322
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,759
that, in the Marquesas, there's
a story of seven brothers
323
00:16:58,801 --> 00:17:01,139
that were exiled by their father
324
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,038
in order to go to Easter Island.
325
00:17:03,214 --> 00:17:07,638
You combine that with the fact
that there is this platform
326
00:17:07,794 --> 00:17:13,071
on Easter Island with
seven moais standing on there,
327
00:17:13,074 --> 00:17:16,172
that would indicate to me
that the Marquesas
328
00:17:16,260 --> 00:17:19,818
and Easter Island
are, in fact, connected.
329
00:17:22,913 --> 00:17:26,372
But if the stone
carvings and ancient legends
330
00:17:26,527 --> 00:17:29,038
prove that the origins
of Easter Island
331
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,719
can be found some 2,000 miles
away in the Marquesas,
332
00:17:32,874 --> 00:17:34,959
could there have been another,
333
00:17:35,114 --> 00:17:38,398
perhaps extraterrestrial,
reason for the exile
334
00:17:38,401 --> 00:17:41,692
of the seven royal brothers
from their homeland?
335
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,098
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
336
00:17:45,141 --> 00:17:48,525
and suggest the evidence points
to everything
337
00:17:48,701 --> 00:17:51,652
from the strange faces
of the tiki gods
338
00:17:51,653 --> 00:17:55,338
to bloody stories
of human sacrifice.
339
00:18:03,074 --> 00:18:06,618
Ancient astronaut
theorists Giorgio Tsoukalos
340
00:18:06,773 --> 00:18:10,832
and David Childress are
in the remote Marquesas Islands.
341
00:18:10,834 --> 00:18:14,459
They are searching for clues
that may help them solve
342
00:18:14,500 --> 00:18:16,898
some of the most
compelling mysteries
343
00:18:16,901 --> 00:18:21,179
concerning an island located
some 2,000 miles to their east,
344
00:18:21,201 --> 00:18:24,525
Easter Island.
345
00:18:24,681 --> 00:18:26,098
I think
it's really fascinating that,
346
00:18:26,121 --> 00:18:28,825
of all the standing heads
in Easter Island,
347
00:18:28,980 --> 00:18:31,398
seven of them actually point
348
00:18:31,421 --> 00:18:33,838
in the direction
of the Marquesas.
349
00:18:34,013 --> 00:18:36,572
And so now the question is, why?
350
00:18:36,574 --> 00:18:40,439
I think it's quite possible that
the Marquesas and Easter Island
351
00:18:40,594 --> 00:18:43,011
are, in fact, connected.
352
00:18:43,101 --> 00:18:46,019
But perhaps equally compelling,
353
00:18:46,173 --> 00:18:48,192
if not slightly disturbing,
354
00:18:48,201 --> 00:18:51,211
are numerous carvings
found throughout the islands
355
00:18:51,366 --> 00:18:55,699
which depict strange,
big-eyed gods known as tikis.
356
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,392
So, right now, we are
at the Tohua of Hikokua.
357
00:19:01,394 --> 00:19:03,944
The tiki placed on site
like this,
358
00:19:04,101 --> 00:19:07,038
like, really, uh, sacred site...
359
00:19:09,681 --> 00:19:12,852
...they were made
to scare the people away,
360
00:19:12,854 --> 00:19:14,558
because they-they were telling,
361
00:19:14,713 --> 00:19:17,424
"Hey, this is
a very sacred site,
362
00:19:17,580 --> 00:19:18,939
so be careful."
363
00:19:20,134 --> 00:19:23,051
"If you step on the site,
364
00:19:23,207 --> 00:19:24,944
"if you do something wrong,
365
00:19:24,946 --> 00:19:28,858
then something bad
is going to happen to you."
366
00:19:28,861 --> 00:19:31,159
I think if we are talking
about extraterrestrials
367
00:19:31,314 --> 00:19:32,924
in ancient times visiting
368
00:19:32,980 --> 00:19:35,404
and you follow
the ancient stories,
369
00:19:35,406 --> 00:19:39,092
when they came down
with fire, smoke and noise,
370
00:19:39,094 --> 00:19:41,578
that that is the reason
why they were afraid.
371
00:19:41,733 --> 00:19:43,872
There are
multiple other versions
372
00:19:43,881 --> 00:19:47,751
of the exact same motif
worldwide,
373
00:19:47,926 --> 00:19:51,832
with people with elongated
skulls and giant goggle eyes.
374
00:19:51,987 --> 00:19:55,132
Like, uh, what comes to mind
immediately is in-in Peru.
375
00:19:55,141 --> 00:19:57,317
- Yeah, at Tiwanaku a-and Pumapunku...
- Yes.
376
00:19:57,340 --> 00:19:59,224
...you have the same
377
00:19:59,227 --> 00:20:01,105
goggle-headed, eyed, uh,
378
00:20:01,106 --> 00:20:02,863
- you know, people.
- Exactly.
379
00:20:02,886 --> 00:20:04,069
You have that in Mexico, too,
380
00:20:04,094 --> 00:20:06,545
- with the Olmec statues.
- Yes.
381
00:20:06,601 --> 00:20:10,332
These may be depictions
of actual extraterrestrials
382
00:20:10,487 --> 00:20:13,384
who visited the Earth
thousands of years ago.
383
00:20:13,540 --> 00:20:17,271
Eerily similar
to the tiki of the Marquesas,
384
00:20:17,426 --> 00:20:19,872
figures with oversized skulls
385
00:20:20,027 --> 00:20:23,271
and enormous eyes have surfaced
at archaeological sites
386
00:20:23,426 --> 00:20:24,999
throughout the world.
387
00:20:25,153 --> 00:20:30,251
Among these are
the Dogu figures of Japan,
388
00:20:30,260 --> 00:20:35,072
the aboriginal Wandjina
petroglyphs of Australia,
389
00:20:35,247 --> 00:20:37,652
the terra-cotta figurines
390
00:20:37,653 --> 00:20:40,019
recently unearthed
in Northern Ghana,
391
00:20:40,173 --> 00:20:43,092
the trickster god Eshu
392
00:20:43,181 --> 00:20:46,392
of the Yoruba people of Nigeria,
393
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,019
and the stunning petroglyphs
of Karahunj,
394
00:20:50,173 --> 00:20:54,058
otherwise known
as Armenia's Stonehenge.
395
00:20:56,221 --> 00:20:59,412
So it does seem that Tiki,
he's walking,
396
00:20:59,567 --> 00:21:01,578
he's living and breathing.
397
00:21:01,733 --> 00:21:03,878
He's not just a spirit, is he?
398
00:21:04,054 --> 00:21:06,019
No. He's not a spirit.
399
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,259
So, um, they-they say
that Tiki is not really a god,
400
00:21:10,413 --> 00:21:12,571
but he's not really a man also.
401
00:21:12,747 --> 00:21:16,372
Aniata, thank you so much
for showing us everything here.
402
00:21:16,527 --> 00:21:18,199
- It's truly tremendous.
- You're welcome.
403
00:21:18,201 --> 00:21:19,537
- Thank you so much.
- Have a nice travel.
404
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,672
Thank you.
405
00:21:24,681 --> 00:21:27,019
One day
after their informative visit
406
00:21:27,173 --> 00:21:29,398
to the island of Nuku Hiva,
407
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:35,105
Giorgio and David travel next
to the nearby island of Hiva Oa
408
00:21:35,106 --> 00:21:38,244
to see firsthand
the most unusual
409
00:21:38,401 --> 00:21:39,578
of all the island tikis.
410
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,278
Hello.
411
00:21:45,453 --> 00:21:46,838
Good to see you.
412
00:21:46,881 --> 00:21:48,058
- Yep.
- Okay.
413
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,491
As their local guide,
414
00:21:50,493 --> 00:21:54,365
they have enlisted
Hiva Oa resident, Heimata Bonno.
415
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,744
This is...
416
00:21:56,747 --> 00:21:58,838
- incredible. So, what are we looking at here?
- Yeah.
417
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,138
What is this?
418
00:22:15,273 --> 00:22:16,676
Oh, it totally looks
like a llama.
419
00:22:16,701 --> 00:22:19,505
No question.
420
00:22:19,681 --> 00:22:21,904
I totally think
this looks like a llama.
421
00:22:22,060 --> 00:22:24,098
I mean, there's no question
in my mind.
422
00:22:24,101 --> 00:22:27,811
And I also don't think
that this was altered.
423
00:22:27,987 --> 00:22:29,644
This is original.
424
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,558
And I don't see any,
uh, changes.
425
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,739
So either this is not authentic
426
00:22:35,740 --> 00:22:38,092
or, if it is authentic,
it's a llama
427
00:22:38,094 --> 00:22:41,179
and it proves connection
to-to South America.
428
00:22:42,921 --> 00:22:44,825
South America?
429
00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:47,291
Is it possible that the llama,
430
00:22:47,294 --> 00:22:49,585
believed to be native
to South America,
431
00:22:49,641 --> 00:22:52,318
was known to people living
on this remote island chain
432
00:22:52,493 --> 00:22:55,412
some 3,500 miles away?
433
00:22:55,567 --> 00:22:57,318
But how?
434
00:23:00,394 --> 00:23:03,078
Some people say
that it's a woman giving birth.
435
00:23:03,253 --> 00:23:05,659
Do the women here
436
00:23:05,661 --> 00:23:07,780
in the Marquesas Islands,
do they do this?
437
00:23:07,913 --> 00:23:11,172
They lie on their stomach
and give birth? No.
438
00:23:11,326 --> 00:23:13,612
This is crazy.
439
00:23:13,614 --> 00:23:15,325
Huh.
440
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:17,625
To me,
441
00:23:17,626 --> 00:23:20,424
it looks like something
from the sky.
442
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:24,384
It's like, uh,
maybe some flying vehicle.
443
00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:27,439
- It's a great question.
- Yeah.
444
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,939
Perhaps
what we're looking at here
445
00:23:30,114 --> 00:23:31,971
is some type of a craft,
446
00:23:32,060 --> 00:23:34,181
because you have the windows
in the front,
447
00:23:34,314 --> 00:23:36,278
which are these giant goggles,
448
00:23:36,453 --> 00:23:38,522
and then you have the mouth
in the front,
449
00:23:38,547 --> 00:23:41,858
which, to me, looks
like some type of an air intake.
450
00:23:42,013 --> 00:23:45,424
Underneath,
you have a lifting body
451
00:23:45,601 --> 00:23:48,338
that goes
underneath the entire body.
452
00:23:48,361 --> 00:23:50,825
And if you combine that
453
00:23:50,980 --> 00:23:53,684
with the story of this object
454
00:23:53,686 --> 00:23:55,699
or this woman giving birth,
455
00:23:55,854 --> 00:23:59,704
if someone has never seen
passengers disembarking
456
00:23:59,881 --> 00:24:01,805
from an actual airplane,
457
00:24:01,961 --> 00:24:05,285
if they have no idea
what is happening,
458
00:24:05,441 --> 00:24:08,078
well, all of a sudden,
459
00:24:08,253 --> 00:24:12,471
a flying vehicle
is giving birth to people.
460
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,545
Is it possible
that this ancient statue
461
00:24:15,701 --> 00:24:17,690
that has been interpreted
in modern times
462
00:24:17,713 --> 00:24:19,704
as a fertility goddess
463
00:24:19,881 --> 00:24:24,019
is actually depicting
an extraterrestrial spacecraft?
464
00:24:25,441 --> 00:24:27,884
I think that tikis
are nothing else
465
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,551
but misunderstood technology
466
00:24:30,554 --> 00:24:35,132
that, over time,
turned into divine objects
467
00:24:35,134 --> 00:24:38,259
of magic and sorcery.
468
00:24:46,441 --> 00:24:48,098
Can we go look at it? Great.
469
00:24:51,713 --> 00:24:53,138
Oh, wow.
470
00:24:55,646 --> 00:24:58,519
Clearly, this tiki,
the head is missing.
471
00:24:58,673 --> 00:25:01,939
But I see
that it has six fingers.
472
00:25:11,820 --> 00:25:14,511
It's very feasible to me
that they actually tried
473
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:17,731
to imitate whoever visited
474
00:25:17,733 --> 00:25:20,759
or whoever came here
to impart this knowledge.
475
00:25:20,913 --> 00:25:23,845
Why would they carve six fingers
476
00:25:23,846 --> 00:25:26,332
if they did not see six fingers?
477
00:25:26,487 --> 00:25:29,919
So we should not say,
"Oh, this is just fantasy."
478
00:25:30,094 --> 00:25:33,778
I think they saw someone
with six fingers.
479
00:25:33,933 --> 00:25:35,505
Is that possible?
480
00:25:35,661 --> 00:25:36,731
Yeah.
481
00:25:36,886 --> 00:25:38,406
- Yes.
- Yeah.
482
00:25:47,421 --> 00:25:49,179
So these are protectors.
483
00:25:49,354 --> 00:25:50,898
And all the tikis here
484
00:25:51,074 --> 00:25:54,778
and the moai on Easter Island
are protectors as well.
485
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,545
So, on Easter Island,
you-you have
486
00:26:01,701 --> 00:26:04,598
seven moai,
and they are looking
487
00:26:04,753 --> 00:26:05,605
towards Marquesas.
488
00:26:05,681 --> 00:26:08,199
Is-is this some ancestors?
489
00:26:08,221 --> 00:26:09,221
Or a connection?
490
00:26:16,707 --> 00:26:19,825
All of the ancient
tikis in the Marquesas
491
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,878
are positioned to look in
the direction of Easter Island.
492
00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:24,612
But why?
493
00:26:24,767 --> 00:26:27,878
And if both the moai
and the tikis are depictions
494
00:26:28,034 --> 00:26:30,298
of extraterrestrial visitors,
495
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,838
why do they appear so different,
both in height
496
00:26:32,993 --> 00:26:35,332
and appearance?
497
00:26:35,334 --> 00:26:38,031
Is it possible that
the seven brothers of legend
498
00:26:38,121 --> 00:26:40,192
left the Marquesas
for Easter Island
499
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,419
because they were fighting
with each other?
500
00:26:42,574 --> 00:26:46,605
Or could they have been fleeing
for their lives?
501
00:26:46,681 --> 00:26:49,838
For Giorgio and David,
502
00:26:49,993 --> 00:26:53,211
these questions form the pieces
of a confounding puzzle,
503
00:26:53,366 --> 00:26:55,029
one they are both determined
to solve
504
00:26:55,054 --> 00:26:58,058
before they return home.
505
00:27:06,126 --> 00:27:08,125
While visiting
the ancient site known
506
00:27:08,126 --> 00:27:12,038
as I'ipona, located
in the Marquesas Islands,
507
00:27:12,213 --> 00:27:14,138
local guide Heimata Bonno
508
00:27:14,161 --> 00:27:16,280
has just shown
ancient astronaut theorists
509
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:19,138
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and David Childress
510
00:27:19,294 --> 00:27:21,444
a number of sacred tiki statues
511
00:27:21,601 --> 00:27:24,172
which have six fingers
on each hand.
512
00:27:24,173 --> 00:27:26,684
That is, uh,
very interesting to me.
513
00:27:26,861 --> 00:27:30,352
He has also just
informed them that the tiki gods
514
00:27:30,354 --> 00:27:32,277
were believed by the natives
to possess
515
00:27:32,300 --> 00:27:35,164
an extraordinary amount
of what they called "mana,"
516
00:27:35,221 --> 00:27:37,305
a spiritual power,
517
00:27:37,307 --> 00:27:40,138
which, if consumed,
would make the natives strong
518
00:27:40,294 --> 00:27:42,419
and virtually invincible.
519
00:27:42,421 --> 00:27:44,959
So, how-how does this tiki
have mana?
520
00:27:44,980 --> 00:27:46,858
How does it get the mana?
521
00:28:03,661 --> 00:28:05,219
I see.
522
00:28:05,374 --> 00:28:07,384
Eat the mana?
523
00:28:07,386 --> 00:28:10,999
Is Heimata Bonno describing
a form of ritual cannibalism
524
00:28:11,173 --> 00:28:14,219
in which the natives of the
Marquesas would eat the bodies
525
00:28:14,374 --> 00:28:17,979
of those who they believed
possessed spiritual power?
526
00:28:18,153 --> 00:28:20,679
And where is the mana contained?
527
00:28:20,681 --> 00:28:22,979
The mana's coming out
of the eyes, right? Or...
528
00:28:27,820 --> 00:28:29,365
So they would...
529
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,545
eat the eyes and the tongue,
530
00:28:31,701 --> 00:28:33,159
the brain?
531
00:28:42,993 --> 00:28:44,939
Is it possible that the natives
532
00:28:44,961 --> 00:28:48,038
of the Marquesas Islands
believed that the mana,
533
00:28:48,193 --> 00:28:50,318
or spiritual power,
534
00:28:50,340 --> 00:28:53,904
of their tiki gods
could be literally consumed?
535
00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:56,699
If so, was their eagerness
536
00:28:56,701 --> 00:28:58,737
to eat the organs
not only of the tiki,
537
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,932
but of their offspring,
one of the chief reasons
538
00:29:01,941 --> 00:29:04,038
why the so-called seven brothers
539
00:29:04,060 --> 00:29:06,060
fled the Marquesas
for Easter Island
540
00:29:06,094 --> 00:29:09,199
thousands of years ago?
541
00:29:09,374 --> 00:29:12,384
Here there are
very large boulders
542
00:29:12,540 --> 00:29:13,852
of basalt.
543
00:29:14,007 --> 00:29:15,791
It's very heavy.
544
00:29:15,794 --> 00:29:17,872
I know in some places
in Polynesia
545
00:29:17,874 --> 00:29:20,078
and Micronesia they have legends
546
00:29:20,233 --> 00:29:23,118
that the stones are...
are flying through the air.
547
00:29:33,661 --> 00:29:35,563
So they are giants
and very strong,
548
00:29:35,586 --> 00:29:38,558
and they can lift
these big stones?
549
00:29:46,366 --> 00:29:49,499
- Oh.
- Giant bones?
550
00:29:49,653 --> 00:29:52,592
Found in caves
on the Marquesas Islands?
551
00:29:52,701 --> 00:29:54,224
Could this be the evidence
552
00:29:54,381 --> 00:29:56,652
Giorgio and David
have been searching for
553
00:29:56,740 --> 00:30:00,398
that suggest the early
inhabitants of Easter Island
554
00:30:00,401 --> 00:30:03,731
were, in fact,
giant alien hybrid beings?
555
00:30:03,820 --> 00:30:06,884
Beings who forged
a colony of giants
556
00:30:06,961 --> 00:30:09,444
much like themselves,
557
00:30:09,601 --> 00:30:11,825
and who commemorated
their time on the island
558
00:30:11,980 --> 00:30:14,419
by fashioning
giant stone sentinels.
559
00:30:16,307 --> 00:30:20,098
We have these stories
of giants worldwide.
560
00:30:20,141 --> 00:30:24,505
In Malta, we have some
of
the biggest megalithic sites
561
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,078
in all of Europe,
that allegedly were built
562
00:30:28,101 --> 00:30:29,959
by the giants.
563
00:30:30,114 --> 00:30:33,105
The giants were offspring
564
00:30:33,106 --> 00:30:37,511
of the gods after they mated
with human women.
565
00:30:37,686 --> 00:30:42,439
Then you have stories
of the giants on Sardinia,
566
00:30:42,614 --> 00:30:45,818
many of whom have been suggested
were originated
567
00:30:45,993 --> 00:30:49,199
by extraterrestrials.
568
00:30:49,374 --> 00:30:52,231
The origin story
of the giants in the Bible
569
00:30:52,406 --> 00:30:55,759
is that angels mated
with human women.
570
00:30:57,381 --> 00:31:00,664
The offspring were the giants.
571
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,118
So we have to wonder,
572
00:31:03,121 --> 00:31:07,098
are the seven sentinels
actually giants?
573
00:31:07,253 --> 00:31:10,432
Part alien and part human.
574
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,372
...Perhaps they were escaping
575
00:31:13,374 --> 00:31:16,419
the Marquesas Islands
because they were
576
00:31:16,441 --> 00:31:18,105
the ruling elite,
577
00:31:18,106 --> 00:31:20,731
and essentially,
they were overthrown
578
00:31:20,820 --> 00:31:22,499
because they had this power,
579
00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:24,739
and they went to Easter Island.
580
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,538
Heimata, it's been
so interesting here.
581
00:31:30,693 --> 00:31:34,298
You have such good information.
I really appreciate it.
582
00:31:34,473 --> 00:31:35,594
Yeah, thank you for sharing.
583
00:31:35,721 --> 00:31:36,912
You're welcome.
584
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,444
Could it be that
585
00:31:38,500 --> 00:31:40,858
the so-called seven princes
of the Marquesas
586
00:31:40,881 --> 00:31:43,865
were giant alien-human hybrids?
587
00:31:44,020 --> 00:31:48,085
Hybrids who may have had access
to extraterrestrial technologies
588
00:31:48,141 --> 00:31:50,825
that caused them
to be thought of by the natives
589
00:31:50,901 --> 00:31:53,519
as kings or gods?
590
00:31:55,314 --> 00:31:58,858
And if so, could it be
that the real reason
591
00:31:59,013 --> 00:32:01,345
these seven brothers left
the Marquesas
592
00:32:01,401 --> 00:32:03,971
was not because
they were fighting,
593
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,025
but because they were fleeing
for their lives,
594
00:32:07,027 --> 00:32:11,025
in fear of being killed
and eaten by the natives?
595
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:14,332
Ancient astronaut theorists
say the answer
596
00:32:14,340 --> 00:32:16,184
is a profound yes,
597
00:32:16,260 --> 00:32:18,919
and believe that
even more answers can be found
598
00:32:19,074 --> 00:32:23,278
not only by examining the
stone statues of Easter Island,
599
00:32:23,300 --> 00:32:25,638
but by also taking a closer look
600
00:32:25,794 --> 00:32:27,852
at what some of them are wearing
601
00:32:28,007 --> 00:32:29,719
on their heads.
602
00:32:36,307 --> 00:32:38,744
Isolated in the vast expanse
603
00:32:38,820 --> 00:32:42,419
of the South Pacific,
Easter Island remains
604
00:32:42,441 --> 00:32:46,031
a land of mystery.
605
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,739
Since its discovery by Europeans
in the 18th century,
606
00:32:50,894 --> 00:32:53,612
very little is still known about
the people who once lived there,
607
00:32:53,701 --> 00:32:56,298
or their origins.
608
00:32:56,453 --> 00:32:59,152
But of all the mysteries
involving the island
609
00:32:59,326 --> 00:33:02,058
otherwise known as Rapa Nui,
610
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,818
the most persistent involve
611
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,098
the nearly 900 megalithic
statues known as moai,
612
00:33:09,253 --> 00:33:13,144
and why they were put here
in the first place.
613
00:33:13,300 --> 00:33:16,311
The moai are considered to be
614
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,778
no more than perhaps
a thousand years old.
615
00:33:19,820 --> 00:33:22,939
However, it has been established
616
00:33:23,094 --> 00:33:26,278
that some of them penetrate
down into the ground
617
00:33:26,433 --> 00:33:29,172
by a great amount of feet
618
00:33:29,173 --> 00:33:31,439
to reveal the rest of the body,
619
00:33:31,441 --> 00:33:33,605
not just the oversized head.
620
00:33:33,661 --> 00:33:37,724
And the amount
of catenation suggests
621
00:33:37,901 --> 00:33:40,531
that they are infinitely older
622
00:33:40,686 --> 00:33:42,679
than a thousand years.
623
00:33:42,721 --> 00:33:46,459
They could go back many,
many, many millennia.
624
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,325
When you visit Easter Island,
625
00:33:49,381 --> 00:33:52,318
and you look at
the sights there, the statues,
626
00:33:52,340 --> 00:33:55,265
the megalithic walls,
you realize they're much older
627
00:33:55,267 --> 00:33:57,519
than what, you know,
history tells us.
628
00:33:59,020 --> 00:34:01,499
Further clouding the issue
629
00:34:01,653 --> 00:34:05,659
is a discovery
that was made in 2017.
630
00:34:05,814 --> 00:34:09,472
With the help of photography
and 3-D modeling programs,
631
00:34:09,646 --> 00:34:13,978
archaeologists discovered
that the 13-ton stone hats,
632
00:34:13,981 --> 00:34:17,219
known as
pukao,
on the Easter Island moai
633
00:34:17,240 --> 00:34:19,992
contain a wide diversity
of petroglyphs,
634
00:34:20,146 --> 00:34:23,079
made by what appear to be
different groups of people.
635
00:34:25,487 --> 00:34:29,592
The hats that are on top
of the Easter Island moai
636
00:34:29,746 --> 00:34:31,378
are a little bit of a mystery.
637
00:34:31,554 --> 00:34:33,778
But recently, they've
been analyzed, and carvings
638
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,652
have been found on them,
which has, like, questioned,
639
00:34:36,806 --> 00:34:40,204
you know, the idea
of what they really represent.
640
00:34:40,260 --> 00:34:42,579
Perhaps there is
something else going on here.
641
00:34:42,601 --> 00:34:44,545
It could well be
642
00:34:44,701 --> 00:34:46,958
that a number
of different cultures
643
00:34:46,981 --> 00:34:49,119
lived on Easter Island.
644
00:34:51,706 --> 00:34:55,278
One of the most fascinating
monuments on Easter Island
645
00:34:55,434 --> 00:34:58,804
is the stone platform, or
ahu,
646
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,152
known as Vinapu.
647
00:35:01,153 --> 00:35:04,565
And this is a huge
megalithic construction
648
00:35:04,621 --> 00:35:06,871
that is essentially a wall
649
00:35:07,027 --> 00:35:10,452
made of cyclopean
megalithic blocks
650
00:35:10,606 --> 00:35:13,938
that all interlock
with each other.
651
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,972
When you look at this,
you cannot help but think
652
00:35:17,981 --> 00:35:21,751
of Cuzco in Peru.
653
00:35:21,927 --> 00:35:24,378
And there has to be
a relationship
654
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,059
between the two cultures.
655
00:35:26,233 --> 00:35:27,931
All of these
656
00:35:28,086 --> 00:35:31,952
part of a much bigger
transmission of knowledge,
657
00:35:31,954 --> 00:35:34,445
where the belief,
658
00:35:34,447 --> 00:35:38,278
the common belief was
an origin amongst the stars.
659
00:35:42,086 --> 00:35:44,791
If, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest,
660
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,052
the seven moai
that face out to sea
661
00:35:48,054 --> 00:35:51,831
really do represent a race
of giant alien hybrid beings
662
00:35:51,833 --> 00:35:55,291
that fled the Marquesas Islands
hundreds, and perhaps thousands,
663
00:35:55,293 --> 00:35:57,204
of years ago,
664
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,539
do the hundreds of other moai
665
00:36:00,561 --> 00:36:02,625
represent their offspring?
666
00:36:02,681 --> 00:36:04,704
And if so,
667
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,891
could they have had contact
with other parts of the world,
668
00:36:07,981 --> 00:36:10,699
making Easter Island
a virtual hub
669
00:36:10,853 --> 00:36:13,318
of extraterrestrial activity?
670
00:36:15,161 --> 00:36:18,559
Easter Island has also got
671
00:36:18,713 --> 00:36:21,659
the strong legend that it is
the center of the world,
672
00:36:21,813 --> 00:36:24,485
or the "navel of the world."
673
00:36:24,641 --> 00:36:27,871
And there are various places
around our planet
674
00:36:28,027 --> 00:36:31,105
that are said to be
the "navel of the world."
675
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,831
They're in Cuzco,
676
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,864
at Delphi in Greece,
677
00:36:35,021 --> 00:36:36,518
at Sardinia,
678
00:36:36,673 --> 00:36:38,411
and in Egypt.
679
00:36:38,521 --> 00:36:41,925
In many cases,
there's a stone ball
680
00:36:41,927 --> 00:36:45,391
that is marking
this center-of-the-world spot.
681
00:36:45,567 --> 00:36:48,085
And we have that
at Easter Island.
682
00:36:48,086 --> 00:36:50,105
These navels of the world
683
00:36:50,106 --> 00:36:52,871
are apparently power places,
684
00:36:52,873 --> 00:36:55,931
places of vortex, energy.
685
00:36:56,086 --> 00:36:58,150
It would seem that
they are all connected
686
00:36:58,173 --> 00:37:02,291
to this worldwide energy grid.
687
00:37:02,293 --> 00:37:07,144
Why did this huge
megalithic culture emerge here?
688
00:37:07,146 --> 00:37:09,744
Perhaps this tells us
689
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,239
that there is
some special quality
690
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:14,364
with Easter Island,
691
00:37:14,521 --> 00:37:17,445
one that was recognized
by the ancestors
692
00:37:17,601 --> 00:37:19,918
of the Rapa Nui culture.
693
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,992
Were the seven moai
that face the sea
694
00:37:23,994 --> 00:37:26,559
positioned so as to indicate
a warning
695
00:37:26,561 --> 00:37:29,239
to those natives
on the Marquesas that wanted
696
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:33,052
to hunt them and eat them
for their power?
697
00:37:33,226 --> 00:37:36,731
Or were they meant to serve
as a commemoration
698
00:37:36,887 --> 00:37:40,731
not only of Easter Island's
extraterrestrial origins
699
00:37:40,887 --> 00:37:45,831
but of the history
of alien activity on our planet?
700
00:37:45,987 --> 00:37:49,565
As far as Giorgio Tsoukalos and
David Childress are concerned,
701
00:37:49,721 --> 00:37:52,184
there still needs to be
further investigation
702
00:37:52,260 --> 00:37:56,079
before those questions
can be answered.
703
00:38:01,701 --> 00:38:04,298
On the last day
of their incredible journey
704
00:38:04,474 --> 00:38:06,398
to the Marquesas Islands,
705
00:38:06,554 --> 00:38:09,012
ancient astronaut theorists
Giorgio Tsoukalos
706
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:10,878
and David Childress
707
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,251
meet at a café
on the island of Nuku Hiva.
708
00:38:14,253 --> 00:38:17,358
They are confident
that their investigation
709
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,259
has led to not only evidence
of a direct link
710
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,958
between the Marquesas
and Easter Island
711
00:38:23,114 --> 00:38:25,378
but also a greater understanding
712
00:38:25,554 --> 00:38:28,632
as to the kinds of beings
who lived on these islands
713
00:38:28,786 --> 00:38:31,452
thousands of years ago.
714
00:38:31,541 --> 00:38:35,759
Well, this was an in...
incredible experience.
715
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,492
From all the people we've talked
to, these ancient civilizations
716
00:38:38,646 --> 00:38:43,425
are way older
than what we were taught.
717
00:38:43,581 --> 00:38:45,159
Yeah, you have
these strong connections
718
00:38:45,181 --> 00:38:47,181
from the Marquesas
to Easter Island.
719
00:38:47,286 --> 00:38:50,684
And the idea
of the-the flying turtle
720
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:52,711
would be what you would think of
as a disc...
721
00:38:52,713 --> 00:38:54,639
- Yes.
- ...flying.
722
00:38:54,813 --> 00:38:57,438
They knew
that turtles don't fly.
723
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,184
So why would they have stories
of flying turtles?
724
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:05,244
If we had, uh,
airships landing here,
725
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,632
and then the people
are-are wondering,
726
00:39:08,634 --> 00:39:10,739
how do these turtles fly?
727
00:39:10,740 --> 00:39:13,244
- Yes.
- And the extraterrestrials
728
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,465
tell them,
"Well, they fly with this energy
729
00:39:17,621 --> 00:39:19,505
- "called mana."
- Mm-hmm.
730
00:39:19,507 --> 00:39:23,891
And there, they transcribe this
mana energy to-to everything.
731
00:39:24,047 --> 00:39:26,719
And, you know, it...
the-the tikis have the mana,
732
00:39:26,721 --> 00:39:28,364
the stones have the mana.
733
00:39:28,541 --> 00:39:30,431
Uh, mana's everywhere.
734
00:39:30,586 --> 00:39:34,184
And, all of a sudden, something
that was technological in origin
735
00:39:34,186 --> 00:39:35,565
becomes magic.
736
00:39:35,567 --> 00:39:37,378
It becomes sorcery.
737
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,472
It becomes something divine.
738
00:39:39,474 --> 00:39:42,358
Everything
that they're talking about
739
00:39:42,514 --> 00:39:45,199
and depicting would seem
to be extraterrestrial.
740
00:39:45,201 --> 00:39:47,958
One of my favorite pieces
that we saw
741
00:39:48,001 --> 00:39:51,759
was that tiki of this woman
laying on the stomach
742
00:39:51,780 --> 00:39:54,144
and she's giving birth.
743
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:57,159
But that's not the position
in which to deliver a baby.
744
00:39:57,333 --> 00:40:00,644
To me, it looks like some sort
of a flying object,
745
00:40:00,820 --> 00:40:04,251
where passengers
are disembarking, or pilots.
746
00:40:04,407 --> 00:40:09,199
And if this is seen by someone
who has never seen an airplane,
747
00:40:09,221 --> 00:40:11,110
well, then,
for all intents and purposes,
748
00:40:11,134 --> 00:40:13,211
that thing is giving birth.
749
00:40:13,213 --> 00:40:16,139
So, to me,
it's a... it's a wonderful
750
00:40:16,293 --> 00:40:19,264
and interesting
misunderstanding.
751
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,565
It really shows,
I think, this connection
752
00:40:21,721 --> 00:40:23,858
between the Marquesas,
753
00:40:24,014 --> 00:40:28,704
perhaps also that these places
are-are space ports,
754
00:40:28,706 --> 00:40:29,706
in a sense.
755
00:40:31,780 --> 00:40:34,119
And isn't necessarily, uh,
756
00:40:34,273 --> 00:40:37,539
the way that Western
archaeologists tell the story.
757
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,018
Whether it is tikis here
in the Marquesas
758
00:40:42,041 --> 00:40:44,905
or moai in Easter Island,
759
00:40:45,061 --> 00:40:48,144
we're looking
at misunderstood technology.
760
00:40:48,300 --> 00:40:51,172
Because I think
that when you combine this
761
00:40:51,260 --> 00:40:53,438
with the old stories of legends
762
00:40:53,594 --> 00:40:55,514
of people descending
from the sky
763
00:40:55,586 --> 00:40:58,585
with a lot
of noise, smoke and fire,
764
00:40:58,740 --> 00:41:01,125
those depictions may represent
765
00:41:01,201 --> 00:41:03,925
either
extraterrestrials themselves
766
00:41:04,081 --> 00:41:08,418
or craft
that the extraterrestrials used.
767
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,864
Were the seven stone
sentinels of Easter Island
768
00:41:12,867 --> 00:41:15,724
placed there to commemorate
what may once have been
769
00:41:15,726 --> 00:41:17,458
a land of giant hybrids,
770
00:41:17,614 --> 00:41:22,059
part human and part alien?
771
00:41:22,081 --> 00:41:26,039
As far as Giorgio Tsoukalos and
David Childress are concerned,
772
00:41:26,213 --> 00:41:29,699
the answer is a profound yes.
773
00:41:29,721 --> 00:41:32,605
They also believe the ancient
moai on Easter Island
774
00:41:32,606 --> 00:41:34,239
now serve a different,
775
00:41:34,393 --> 00:41:37,699
if perhaps unintended, purpose.
776
00:41:37,853 --> 00:41:40,164
Instead
of silently standing guard,
777
00:41:40,340 --> 00:41:43,144
as if to protect the island
and its secrets,
778
00:41:43,146 --> 00:41:46,844
the moai might actually be
helping to reveal the truth
779
00:41:46,847 --> 00:41:50,239
about mankind's
extraterrestrial history,
780
00:41:50,393 --> 00:41:54,625
a history that may very soon
repeat itself when we,
781
00:41:54,626 --> 00:41:58,032
in the not-so-distant future,
could come face-to-face
782
00:41:58,186 --> 00:42:01,045
with those same alien visitors
783
00:42:01,201 --> 00:42:05,012
who were once immortalized
in stone.
