All language subtitles for Ancient.Aliens.S19E16.The.Gods.Of.Greece

It was the
cradle of western civilization

And a culture that credited
everything to the gods.

The greeks very much
believed the gods were physically

Part of our lives.

The greek gods

Were said to possess
incredible technology.

The lightning rod of zeus,

Could wipe out whole cities

In one fell swoop.

The trident of poseidon

Could cause earthquakes.

The gods imparted
advanced knowledge.

And they even
coupled with humans.

They're creating these demigods

And genetically
manipulating humans.

Were the greek gods the
product of our ancestors' imaginations?

Or were they
otherworldly visitors

Directing the
course of humanity?

The greeks
clearly said that the gods were real.

And you have to
ask the question,

Are our ancestors talking
about extraterrestrials?

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.

Greece.

Located in southeastern europe

With thousands of islands

Throughout the
aegean and ionian seas,

This popular tourist destination

Is visited by roughly 30
million people each year.

They come not only to experience
greece's mediterranean climate

And idyllic beaches,

But also to walk
amongst the ruins

Of a great empire that thrived
more than 2,000 years ago.

The greek empire, which lasted

From the ninth century
to the second century bc,

Made enormous advances
in science and mathematics...

Founded the olympic games...

Invented democracy
as a system of governance,

And established the
foundation of western civilization.

We owe virtually

Almost every
aspect of our society

To the ancient greek culture,

What they brought
together at that time.

Certainly, we in
the western world

Are the heirs of ancient greece,
there's no doubt about that.

Thinking
about what happened in greece,

You've got some of
the greatest minds ever.

These are the people that

Created or opened the gateway

To the western mind, to
the way we think today.

People today
know the names of aristotle,

Plato and socrates.

In mathematics and sciences,

People know the
names of archimedes

And also pythagoras of
the pythagorean theorem.

So it's amazing that
the ancient greeks

Could illuminate the artistic

And scientific world

For thousands of years to come.

You have
the greek playwrights...

Sophocles, euripides.

You have the architects...

The architects of the parthenon,

Ictinus and callicrates.

And then you have
hippocrates, with medicine.

The list is never-ending.

Perhaps just
as extraordinary as the fact

That the towering
intellectual figures

Of ancient greece
are still known today

Is that every one of them

Credited their
accomplishments to the gods.

The prevalence of gods

In the lives of human beings

In classical
mythological stories

Tells us that the greeks

Very much believed the
gods were a part of our lives.

If you were to
build a temple, right,

You needed the
inspiration of these gods

Because you were doing something
that was bigger than human.

So they are the foundation.

They are the inspiration
for human beings

Creating works
of art of all stripes

That are far bigger than
human beings themselves.

Greek gods like zeus,

Apollo and athena remain
household names even today...

And the myths about their
origins, battles, and adventures

Continue to be retold
to modern audiences.

The ancient greek
gods, in many ways,

Are still alive with us today.

No matter where
you are in the world,

Everybody knows who
apollo is, who zeus is,

Who aphrodite is.

You'll see it in advertising,

Everywhere you
look, you'll see that

There is this influence

Of these characters
from greek mythology.

When I was growing up,

I followed avidly the
american space program

Where you had the
mercury program,

The gemini program,

The apollo program.

It's all based on
the greek gods.

According to greek mythology,

Before the time of zeus and
the other iconic greek gods

That we're familiar with today,

There was another
race of powerful beings

Called the titans.

For the ancient greeks,

The titans were the
first generation of gods.

They were the six
male, six female gods

Who were born
of the earth, gaia,

And heaven coming together.

The word
"titan" exists in our language now

And refers to something
that's big and great.

And that's what the titans were.

They were this
generation of gods

That were larger than life.

Ultimately, the titans
find themselves in a war

With the next
generation of gods,

Who we know as the olympians.

The olympians are
represented by 12 powerful gods

Led by zeus, who
is the god of thunder,

And the son of the
titan king cronus.

Ultimately,

The titans and the olympians
are not able to coexist,

And an epic war is waged

Called the titanomachy.

Joining the gods

In this ten-year-long battle
are a number of strange beings,

Including humanoid creatures
with hundreds of arms,

And one-eyed giants
called the cyclops.

In the end, the olympians
emerge victorious

And establish an earthly
base atop mount olympus.

There is an actual
mount olympus in greece.

Because it is so high,

It's ringed in clouds,

And so that's
where the gods live

That you are not allowed to see.

We're told it
was shrouded by a mist

So that human
eyes couldn't see it.

And it was a technology center.

You had hephaestus there,

The greek god of smithcraft,
alchemy and technology

That was creating these
extraordinary weapons,

The thunderbolt of zeus,
and all these magical weapons,

The breastplate of athena.

He also made robots, assistants.

You couldn't describe

A better scenario if
you were talking about

Extraterrestrials
coming to earth

And establishing a mountain
compound or sanctuary.

It sounds very much like some
kind of a military compound.

Zeus reigned
over all the gods and humans,

And each of the olympians

Had domain over certain
aspects of existence.

Poseidon ruled the sea.

Athena was the
goddess of wisdom.

Apollo's domain was
light, music and poetry,

As well as healing and prophecy.

Aphrodite was the goddess
of beauty and passion.

And ares the god of war.

The greek gods
are purely anthropomorphic.

They're seen to
control natural forces...

But they're men and
women up in the infinite ether.

And the olympian gods

Would often come down
and interact with humans.

The greek
pantheon of gods were not gods

As we think of them today.

They descended from the sky

And they interacted with humans.

So you have to ask the question,

Are we really talking about

Bona fide gods

In ancient greece?

Or was it something else?

Is it possible that the
pantheon of greek gods

Didn't consist of a figment
of our ancestors' imagination,

But physical beings

That actually mingled
amongst man back in the day?

Is it possible that the
gods, who played such a vital role

In the lives of the ancient
greeks, truly existed?

While it may sound
like a fantastical notion,

Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

It is a very real possibility,

And point to an important site

Within the greek empire

Where it was discovered
that at least some aspects

Of the ancient myths
are based in real history.

Hisarlik,
turkey. 1870.

German businessman
and amateur archaeologist

Heinrich schliemann
begins excavations

In this small village

Which was an important
site within the greek empire

More than 2,000 years ago.

For years, he has been
obsessed with finding

The legendary city of troy

That is at the center
of the trojan war

Described in homer's
epic, the iliad.

The story of the trojan war

Is one of the most
important stories

Of the greek mythological cycle.

Our main source is homer,
but it relies upon much earlier

Oral compositions that
probably were going around

In greek culture for
hundreds of years.

According to the
legend, the trojan war began

When helen, wife
to king menelaus

Of the greek
city-state of sparta,

Fell in love with
trojan prince paris

And secretly ran
off with him to troy.

Her actions sparked
a bloody ten-year war

Between the trojans
and the greeks.

The greeks were
able to defeat the trojans

By sneaking this wooden horse

Which was full
of greek soldiers,

Into the city of troy

Where they were
able to wreak havoc

And ultimately, you
know, win the war.

One of the aspects
of the stories of the trojan war

That is quite interesting
is that the gods take sides.

Some are more on
the side of the trojans,

Some are more on
the side of the greeks.

At the time
of heinrich schliemann's

1870 excavation,

Mainstream scholars
had long maintained

That the ancient greek
story was a work of fiction

And that troy never existed.

Heinrich schliemann was
this extraordinary character

Who, I guess, he must've
been quite rebellious as a child

Because he wouldn't
accept the given facts.

When heinrich
schliemann was growing up,

All of greek mythology
was mythology.

And heinrich schliemann
refused to believe that.

In modern
times, most scholars thought that

Homer and his writing
about the trojan war

Was just a good story.

Academic scholars just
did not take troy seriously.

However, heinrich schliemann
took homer seriously.

Details from the
iliad had convinced schliemann

That the remnants
of troy would be found

In the turkish
village of hisarlik

Beneath a 65-foot-tall
earthen mound.

In may 1873, schliemann
uncovered a hoard of gold,

Valuable artifacts and
jewelry that matched up

With the riches
mentioned in the iliad,

And declared that
the search was over...

He had discovered
the city of troy.

Lo and behold, he found troy.

He found a site which matched
everything described in homer.

So he brought to life
the concept that we can

Look at some of
these ancient myths

And realize that there's

A genuine
historical basis to it.

For hundreds of years,
people thought that

The greeks had achievements
in architecture and sciences,

But when it comes to history,

The story of the trojan
war, the trojan horse,

"nope. It's all myth."

But then
archaeologists found it.

They found the ruins of troy.

And we know there
was the trojan war

Just like the way
the ancients called it.

When it comes
to places like troy in turkey,

It does really suggest that

These myths and
legends and epic tales

May have some reality to them.

Heinrich schliemann
opened a whole new chapter

In the history books for us.

What had previously
been mythology

Was now tangible archaeology.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

The discovery of troy
is highly significant

Because it opens the
possibility that other aspects

Of greek mythology
are also based in history.

Are these stories a true history

That we've misinterpreted
as just fantasy?

The ancient greek gods were

Physical beings that
actually mingled amongst man

In the ancient mythologies.

The ancient astronaut theory
proposes that these encounters

Actually happened in real life.

They were here,
not spiritual beings,

They were here with their body.

You can touch them.

They were talking,
they were building,

They were doing something,
they were not spiritual beings.

Is it possible,

As ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,

That greek mythology
is based on actual events

And encounters with
otherworldly beings?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

By examining just how the
greek gods were described.

The gods in the
greek mythology are all very,

Very human in their attributes.

The greek gods are, are jealous.

They're angry.
They're passionate.

They hate each other.
They love each other.

They kill,
they attack each other,

They attack humans, especially.

They have children
out of wedlock.

They wage wars with each
other. They trick each other.

There's nothing entirely
divine about them

Other than they
have specific powers.

In the greek
myths, the powers of the gods

Often come in the forms of
magical devices, weapons,

And flying machines.

They have airships,

They have superpowers
and weapons.

It would seem that the
gods are using technology.

In my opinion,

It was the technology
of extraterrestrials.

And it is not just a fiction.

It's not just fantasy. It's
not just the imagination.

It is a true story.

The old greek gods
were extraterrestrials.

Could it be that the
greek gods were alien beings

Who came to earth
thousands of years ago?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

And suggest the
stories about them

Reveal even more profound truths

About the origins
of the human race.

The greek island of crete.

1900.

A team of british
archaeologists,

Led by sir arthur evans,

Begins excavating the
ruins of an ancient palace.

In their efforts to unearth
the sprawling complex,

They come across a structure

Eerily matching one of
the most fearsome places

In all of greek mythology...

The labyrinth of king minos.

According to the legend,

The elaborate
maze of the labyrinth

Was constructed by
order of king minos

To entrap a monstrous
creature known as the minotaur.

This legend of the minotaur

Is one of the most important

And prevalent legends

Of the ancient greek mythology.

One day, king minos of
crete angers the god poseidon.

Poseidon, being angry at minos,

Casts a spell over
his wife pasiphae,

That she might fall in love
with this great white bull.

And through the
mating of the bull,

The minotaur is born.

The minotaur is half human
and half bull as a result.

And he is ferocious,

And he feeds on
the flesh of humans.

The legend of king minos

And the labyrinth

Is something that
was seen to be a fable

Until the explorations
of the palace in crete.

What arthur evans
uncovered was an entire palace

That seemed to be dedicated over

To a bull cult.

There were frescos showing
people leaping over bulls.

There were bulls' horns,

Bulls' heads everywhere.

The palace
is an elaborate structure,

With moving walls and mazes
actually built into the palace.

It became very clear

Upon looking at the
structure of this palace,

That this was the
original labyrinth.

If the structure found in crete

Really is the fabled
labyrinth of king minos,

Then is it possible that
the story of the minotaur

Is based on actual events?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

But suggest that what
is described in the legend

Is not literally a bull
mating with a human.

The story of the minotaur
is an astounding story

Of the creation
of a hybrid being.

And what's interesting
about this is that daedalus,

This genius engineer,

Crafts this
cow-shaped container,

That minos's wife is to
enter into this container

And mate with this sacred bull.

This sounds like some kind of

Genetics lab that's
been created here

For the specific
purpose to mate a human

With a sacred bull.

The minotaur is the
result of that mating.

So when we peel back
the layers of this story,

We can easily interpret this

As an example of
ancient gene splicing.

There are plenty of myths

That talk about these
hybrids in the tales of greece.

There was a centaur,
half horse, half man...

If we look at the mermaid...
A woman and part fish...

With genetics, with
experimentation,

Maybe these beings

Really did walk the earth,

And our ancestors were depicting

What they saw around them.

In the greek
mythological tradition,

There are many
instances of the gods

Creating hybrid animals

And even more that involve
their manipulation of humans,

Including the creation
of the human race.

According to greek mythology,

The titan prometheus formed
figurines of humans out of mud,

And the olympian athena
breathed life into them.

It is also said that prometheus
brought us civilization.

That he gave us writing,

He gave us language,
he gave us arithmetic.

The greek myths go on to speak

Of mortals and
immortals comingling

To create hybrids who
were half human and half god.

These sexual
interactions would produce

What they called the demigods,

Somebody who was
half man, half god,

Or half woman, half god.

And these demigods
became very, very powerful

In their own right.

Much like the
myths of ancient greece,

Stories of humans mixed
with the bloodlines of gods

Appear in many cultures
throughout the ancient world...

From the deities
known as the anunnaki

Depicted in early
sumerian writings,

To the biblical book of enoch,

Which tells of fallen
angels, called the watchers,

Who mated with humans
to create the nephilim.

We are told that the sons of god

Came down to earth and
mated with earth women.

Now, this is in all mythology,

Whether it's greek,
whether it's sumerian,

Whether it's hindu.

And so, we have
to ask ourselves,

These are new human
beings that are being created.

How is this happening?

According to
ancient astronaut theorists,

The parallels in these accounts

May be evidence
of extraterrestrials

Intentionally mingling
their dna with mankind.

The greek gods can be placed

In the same category

As the anunnaki, the
guardians of the sky,

And the so-called watchers.

They're all the same.

Meaning extraterrestrials
observed humankind

And also guided our development.

We have the curious stories

Of the greek gods

Creating these
heroes or demigods.

And so we can kind of see here

How the gods or the
extraterrestrials are

Genetically manipulating humans.

Could the greek
stories of the demigods

Serve as evidence of
an extraterrestrial agenda

To genetically evolve and guide

The development of humankind?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,

And they suggest even
more compelling evidence

That there was an
otherworldly presence

In ancient greece

Can be found by examining
the country's oldest structures,

Which were said
to have been built

By a race of giants.

The ancient greek
story of king minos first appears

In homer's epic poem the iliad,

And takes place around 2500 bc,

Roughly 1,300 years before
the rise of the greek empire.

According to greek mythology,
this is "the golden age,"

The time when humans
shared the earth with the gods...

As well as many other strange
creatures like the minotaur.

You're talking
about tons of giants,

Tons of monsters,
tons of scary beings.

Cyclopes,

You've got hybrids of monsters,

But they're all
existing together

Somehow in the same place.

In the ancient texts,

Greece was home to
an advanced society

During this
so-called golden age,

And ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

Remnants of that civilization

May be located
near the city of argos,

Where there are ruins

Of a mysterious
megalithic structure

That is unlike any
other structure in greece.

Outside of argos
there's a really beautifully built

Pyramidal building
at hellinikon,

Which is a total mystery.

Really, really, very,
very mysterious.

The architecture
looks archaic...

And it's unique in that sense.

It's a place where you can
actually go into the pyramid.

The pyramid of
hellinikon is quite small.

It's maybe only 23 feet

By 30 feet by
maybe 12 feet tall.

But it's incredibly interesting.

We don't really know
what its purpose was,

And even more controversial

Is the dating of it.

In 1995, scientists
working at the academy of athens

Dated samples from the site

Using a new and
experimental method called

Optical thermoluminescence.

The results were staggering.

The pyramid at hellinikon,

According to their results...

Is one of the oldest
pyramids on earth.

The pyramid of hellinikon

Dates to 2720 bc.

The hellinikon
pyramid is thought to be

Originally built by
the mycenaeans, but...

If the dating is
correct of 2720 bc,

Then this is over a
thousand years older.

So we have to question
who really built this.

The dating of the
pyramid of hellinikon places it

In the same era as the
so-called golden age

When gods and strange
creatures were said to exist on earth.

Curiously, just eight
miles to the north

Is another structure
that does not match

The construction style
of the greek empire,

But features masonry
strikingly similar

To that of the
pyramid of hellinikon.

Standing within the ancient
site of mycenae is an incredible

Megalithic structure
called the treasury of atreus.

The treasury of
atreus at mycenae was

This massive structure...

Built into the hillside
with huge blocks,

Conglomerate stone
being brought into place,

Including the lintel that
goes over the threshold

Going into the tomb
which weighs 250 tons.

What's telling about
mycenae is that we have

Multiple construction
styles there.

And the oldest one is
the most sophisticated.

And the same
masonry style exists

At the pyramid of hellinikon,

About a ten-minute drive
from present-day mycenae.

So, clearly, the two were part
of the same kingdom at the time.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

The notion that these
megalithic structures could both

Date back more than
4,700 years is extraordinary.

But even more
intriguing is the fact

That the greek stories
say they were built

By a race of giant
humanoid beings

Who lived during the golden age.

According to the ancient greeks,

The treasury of
atreus at mycenae

Was created by the cyclopes.

Huge, giant builders that
had a single, circular eye

In the middle of their
forehead, and they were credited

With lifting these
huge blocks into place.

In greek mythology, the
cyclops were related to the titans,

The first generation of gods,
and were master craftsman.

They created zeus's
thunderbolt, poseidon's trident,

And hades' cap of invisibility.

And they were
credited with building

The ancient megaliths of greece.

The cyclops were
thought to be master masons

And advanced metallurgists,

And also were
able to quarry stone

In a profoundly brilliant way.

If you look around
the site of mycenae,

You see amazing
construction all over the site.

So, is there some
reality to these stories?

Is there actual giants

Who were involved
in the construction

Of sites like mycenae?

As far as ancient
astronaut theorists are concerned,

The pyramid of hellinikon

And the treasury of atreus
provide further evidence

That the golden age of the
gods was more than just a myth.

This idea is not something

That was just
pulled out of thin air.

In fact, it also connects
to other stories of gods

Around the world.

Many of the ancient egyptian
texts that have been translated

Speak of a so-called
golden age of ancient egypt

At a time when human
beings mingled side by side

With the so-called gods.

Now, this is something
that has been recorded orally

And also in a written language

For thousands of
years, around the world.

And you have to
ask the question,

Are our ancestors all
talking about the same

Visiting extraterrestrials?

Is it possible
that the structures

Like the treasury of atreus

And the pyramid of hellinikon
were built during a time

When humans shared the earth

With visitors from
another world?

Perhaps further
clues can be found

By examining another
mysterious megalithic site,

Where the greeks claimed

They could speak
directly to the gods.

Located on the
slopes of mount parnassus,

This site was a religious center

Throughout the entire
timeline of the greek empire.

When homer wrote the
iliad in the eighth century bc,

When socrates established
western philosophy

In the fifth century bc,

And when alexander
the great conquered egypt

In the fourth century bc,

Delphi was the place
where people went

To communicate
directly with the gods.

Delphi is this extraordinarily
powerful place.

I mean, you can feel it
when you go there today.

Delphi became hugely important
throughout classical antiquity.

Everybody, especially
the ruling elite,

Would go and they
would pose a question.

Nobody would go to war,

Nobody would even
start a trade excursion,

Nobody would do anything,

Without going and
consulting the oracle.

And the oracle would

Channel basically an
answer then from the gods.

The oracle was a high
priestess known as the pythia,

Who held court at
the temple of apollo,

Which lies mostly
in ruins today.

According to ancient texts,

Those seeking
counsel from the gods

Were put in a meditative state

Before entering the innermost
sanctuary of the temple,

Where they would offer gifts

And present their
questions to the oracle.

The way the oracle at
delphi functioned was...

The pythia, the priestess
sat over a crevice which was

Within the temple of apollo.

She would inhale whatever fumes
were coming up from the crevice,

And she would then get
an answer from apollo,

A divine answer from above.

There
was a crack in the stone there,

And there was a kind of
vapor of gas that was coming,

Which put her into
an altered state.

Although we do not know
what the altered state was like,

Maybe she was
tapping into something.

Current research
on the pythia at delphi

Is asking the question,
was there perhaps

Some kind of psychedelic
connection there?

According to
ancient astronaut theorists,

The notion that
chemically altering the mind

Might facilitate a connection
with otherworldly beings

Is supported by experiments
with a powerful hallucinogen

Called
dimethyltryptamine, or dmt.

Between 1990 and 1995,

Scientists at the
university of new mexico

Administered dmt
to 60 volunteers

And were surprised to find

That many of them
had very similar visions,

Including encounters

With strange beings
who reportedly said,

"now we can
communicate with you."

Recent research suggests
that hallucinogenic experiences

Actually open portals
of communication

With otherworldly beings.

And perhaps this is what was
going on back at delphi as well.

In the greek
mythological tradition,

Zeus not only chose
the exact location

Where the pythia would
receive messages from the gods...

He also placed a
mysterious object

At the oracle
called the omphalos.

Just what the omphalos
was remains a mystery,

Since it reportedly
disappeared in 395 ad.

But a roman replica of the stone

Has been preserved
at the museum of delphi,

Supporting the notion
that it truly existed.

It's a fascinating
stone, it's very beautiful.

And it, it appears to be covered
in a type of crisscross pattern.

It's possible that the
omphalos stone was

Some type of
communication device

Between the people on the
ground and the people in the sky.

The ancient greeks
built their famous temple at delphi

Around this omphalos stone,

And it was the power
center of the world.

And this omphalos stone was
also supposed to be a vehicle

For communicating with the gods.

So you have to
wonder, was it really

Some special stone
that could help people

Communicate with
extraterrestrials?

Is it possible
that the ancient greeks

Were given specific instructions

On where to build
the temple of apollo

By an otherworldly visitor?

One who utilized both
the vapors from the earth

And some mysterious
technological device

To facilitate a means
of communication?

Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes

And suggest that delphi's
otherworldly connection

Was established long before
the rise of the greek empire,

During the so-called golden age

When the gods were
said to be present on earth.

As evidence, they
point to mysterious ruins

That feature the same
type of cyclopean masonry

Found at mycenae and
the pyramid of hellinikon.

Officially, delphi is dated
to about the sixth century bc,

But there are earlier
constructions at the site.

And these are the gigantic
cyclopean and polygonal walls

That are not just in
the main part of the site.

If you actually look
around carefully,

You find them half buried down

Near the entrance
at the lowest levels,

And it really does suggest

That the site could
be much, much older.

And this was used
for not hundreds,

Possibly thousands of years.

According to the
ancient greeks, figures like zeus,

Athena and apollo
continued to guide them

Well beyond the golden age.

And ancient astronaut
theorists suggest

These otherworldly beings

Inspired an extraordinary
moment in history

That would shape the
world for centuries to come.

Starting with
the harnessing of fire

Hundreds of
thousands of years ago,

There have been
moments in human history

Of sudden and
significant advancement...

Like the renaissance,

The industrial revolution,

And the founding
of the united states.

But some scholars believe

The most significant
period of all

Occurred in athens
around 2,500 years ago.

In the span of
a single lifetime,

Dozens of history's most
brilliant minds emerged

And achieved
monumental advancements

That would reverberate
through the ages.

It was a time known
as the greek miracle.

It goes almost without saying

That without ancient greece,

And without the
so-called greek miracle,

Civilization today
would not be the same.

Some of the most
profound philosophers lived at this time.

Plato, for instance, he created
these remarkable 3d geometries.

The dodecahedron.

Pythagoras related the
harmony of the cosmos

And all within it

To mathematical
formulas and geometry.

And different philosophers
came up with different ideas

Looking at this much
more kind of practical way

Of understanding
life and the cosmos.

You had
socrates, hippocrates, aristotle,

Sophocles, euripides, herodotus,

And the list goes on.

They all lived at the same time.

So my question is...

Is it possible that they
had a direct connection

With the physical
extraterrestrials

That were monitoring
earth at that time?

And my answer to
that is a resounding yes.

Whether the greek
miracle happened by chance

Or by extraterrestrial
design, one thing is certain...

The accomplishments
of the ancient greeks

Helped to shape the
world for centuries to come.

We see and we experience

The gifts of the ancient greeks

Every day in our modern lives

In the 21st century.

They gave us everything
from democracy

To the most extraordinary
architecture and art.

We see it in our nation's
capital, in washington, d.C.

The extraordinary
greek temple architecture.

You go to
paris, you go to london,

All the architecture
comes from ancient greece.

And then you learned
about the mathematics

That made these
monuments possible.

All of that coming
from ancient greece.

Anybody who does
science will be still using terms

That were coined in
archaic and classical greece.

We're still using

Ancient greek
words and concepts.

So the western world is very,

Very much indebted
to, to ancient greece.

If it's true
that almost everything

Of the western world
that we have today

Has its birthplace
in ancient greece,

Then perhaps it would mean

That modern civilization
itself can be traced back

To these extraterrestrials,

These gods of olympus.

Could it be that the incredible

Mythological tales
of ancient greece

Tell the story
of humankind's true origins?

And that the world
we live in today is the product

Of extraterrestrial visitation

That took place
thousands of years ago?

Perhaps we will
receive the answer

When visitors descend
from the sky once again,

And we come face-to-face
with our alien ancestors.
