I mean, off-the-charts dramatic. 4 00:00:11,021 --> 00:00:14,172 strange creatures on remote cliffs... 5 00:00:14,174 --> 00:00:16,924 They are somewhere between a bird and a 6 00:00:16,926 --> 00:00:21,162 person, but in a very frightening form. 7 00:00:21,164 --> 00:00:25,333 and ancient warfare waged above the clouds. 8 00:00:25,335 --> 00:00:28,019 I'm talking about a functioning 9 00:00:28,021 --> 00:00:31,639 military outpost in the mountains for an all-out war 10 00:00:31,641 --> 00:00:34,010 between extraterrestrials. 11 00:00:35,511 --> 00:00:36,511 Are mysterious 12 00:00:36,512 --> 00:00:42,183 stories surrounding our highest peaks simply tall tales? 13 00:00:42,185 --> 00:00:46,788 Or is it possible that Earth's greatest mountains have been 14 00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:49,957 secretly inhabited by alien civilizations? 15 00:00:49,959 --> 00:00:52,543 They are the closest points to the 16 00:00:52,545 --> 00:00:55,963 sky and the world that exists up there. 17 00:00:55,965 --> 00:00:58,966 Which makes them the perfect place of communication between 18 00:00:58,968 --> 00:01:01,338 this world and the next. 19 00:01:01,939 --> 00:01:05,039 Millions of people around the world believe 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,008 we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 21 00:01:09,310 --> 00:01:11,780 What if it were true? 22 00:01:12,482 --> 00:01:17,485 Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 23 00:01:17,487 --> 00:01:22,223 And if so, might the ultimate proof be hidden on the Earth's 24 00:01:22,225 --> 00:01:25,192 most mysterious mountains? 25 00:01:44,593 --> 00:01:47,693 corrections by bellows www.addic7ed.com 26 00:01:58,494 --> 00:02:04,894 Nepal, 2007. Here, in a remote area of the 27 00:02:04,901 --> 00:02:09,137 Himalayan mountain range, researchers scale a cliff 28 00:02:09,139 --> 00:02:13,141 crumbling from erosion in order to explore one of the world's 29 00:02:13,143 --> 00:02:17,128 greatest archaeological mysteries: 30 00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:21,115 the sky caves of the ancient kingdom of Mustang. 31 00:02:21,117 --> 00:02:28,222 There are over 10,000 of these man-made caves tunneled all 32 00:02:28,224 --> 00:02:33,628 around the Mustang region. Many have yet to be explored. 33 00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:39,317 Entry is not only dangerous, but nearly impossible, even with 34 00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:45,490 The caves of Mustang are absolutely amazing 35 00:02:45,492 --> 00:02:49,177 because they're in a very fragile, friable rock. 36 00:02:49,179 --> 00:02:54,782 That is, it breaks off very easily, it's very hard to scale, 37 00:02:54,784 --> 00:03:01,756 to try to get up to them. These caves appear to be human... 38 00:03:01,758 --> 00:03:06,010 carved; to be cut out by humans. No one really knows who 39 00:03:06,012 --> 00:03:08,846 carved these caves initially because they seem to go back to 40 00:03:08,848 --> 00:03:13,167 such a very, very early period. 41 00:03:13,169 --> 00:03:20,641 Hidden inside, researchers find art, artifacts, 42 00:03:20,643 --> 00:03:26,347 and religious texts, dating back to at least the 1400s... 43 00:03:26,349 --> 00:03:30,184 and some much, much older. 44 00:03:30,186 --> 00:03:35,790 Among the most stunning of the discoveries is a mural composed 45 00:03:35,792 --> 00:03:40,211 of 55 panels depicting scenes from the life of the spiritual 46 00:03:40,213 --> 00:03:46,384 They have images of Buddha's... various 47 00:03:46,386 --> 00:03:49,670 life scenes of the Buddha. So, perhaps it was used 48 00:03:49,672 --> 00:03:53,140 for a ritual purpose, perhaps used as a meditation purpose. 49 00:03:53,142 --> 00:03:56,877 We do not know why particularly Buddhist deities 50 00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,581 have been painted, uh, in some of these, uh, caves. 51 00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:04,852 But how and why did this unknown ancient 52 00:04:04,854 --> 00:04:09,991 civilization scale nearly 155 feet of sheer vertical rock wall 53 00:04:09,993 --> 00:04:14,262 to create these caverns in the mountainside? 54 00:04:14,264 --> 00:04:18,899 And why are the caves covered with images of the life of Buddha? 55 00:04:18,901 --> 00:04:25,573 Mankind has been drawn to mountains for centuries. 56 00:04:25,575 --> 00:04:30,278 Across ancient civilizations, the world's highest peaks were 57 00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:37,351 often viewed as sacred... and home to all-powerful gods. 58 00:04:37,353 --> 00:04:40,521 But why do so many different cultures throughout history 59 00:04:40,523 --> 00:04:45,109 share this belief that mountains have a divine connection? 60 00:04:45,111 --> 00:04:47,761 Mountains have fascinated people 61 00:04:47,763 --> 00:04:50,464 all over the world for thousands and thousands of years. 62 00:04:50,466 --> 00:04:53,734 They seem to be a way to ascend 63 00:04:53,736 --> 00:04:56,971 to the heavens or to get as close to the heavens as we can 64 00:04:56,973 --> 00:05:00,708 here on this planet. In many mythologies, they were 65 00:05:00,710 --> 00:05:04,378 imagined as the dwelling place of the gods. 66 00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:07,048 The idea that the mountains would be the 67 00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:11,118 homes of the gods shows up in Norse tradition, in India, in 68 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,306 Japan, all over. The ruler, the god, the great 69 00:05:15,308 --> 00:05:19,960 power, would want to have the view from above. 70 00:05:19,962 --> 00:05:23,764 This is transcendence, this is getting the big picture. 71 00:05:23,766 --> 00:05:27,318 So we imagine that there is a kind of control tower or control 72 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:33,743 center up in the mountains that helps the gods rule wisely from above. 73 00:05:34,245 --> 00:05:38,179 They are the closest points to the sky and the world that exists 74 00:05:38,181 --> 00:05:40,981 up there, which makes them the perfect place of 75 00:05:40,983 --> 00:05:46,003 communication between this world and the next. 76 00:05:46,005 --> 00:05:49,623 The gods are said to use them when they come down. 77 00:05:49,625 --> 00:05:54,011 They are places of otherworldly activity. 78 00:05:54,013 --> 00:06:00,184 Were mountains around the world really home to 79 00:06:00,186 --> 00:06:04,805 divine or perhaps extraterrestrial beings? 80 00:06:04,807 --> 00:06:09,176 Beings who used these extreme elevations to observe and 81 00:06:09,178 --> 00:06:14,115 communicate with mankind? Many ancient astronaut 82 00:06:14,117 --> 00:06:17,818 theorists say yes, and as evidence they point to the 83 00:06:17,820 --> 00:06:22,156 mountain that is most famously associated with powerful gods of 84 00:06:22,158 --> 00:06:29,196 the ancient world. Mt. Olympus, Greece. 85 00:06:29,198 --> 00:06:34,468 Rising over 9,500 feet, this sacred mountain is the second... 86 00:06:34,470 --> 00:06:40,040 tallest in the Balkan peninsula. According to ancient myth, 87 00:06:40,042 --> 00:06:45,161 it was also the chosen home of immortal deities known as the Olympians. 88 00:06:45,482 --> 00:06:49,068 Mt. Olympus hides a particularly mysterious abode 89 00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:55,022 where the gods live in perfect, immortal repose for all of their existence. 90 00:06:55,724 --> 00:06:58,576 Even nowadays, clouds gather around the top of it. 91 00:06:58,578 --> 00:07:01,662 That's where it is assumed that the abode of the gods was, up in 92 00:07:01,664 --> 00:07:05,032 the clouds that you aren't able to see. 93 00:07:05,034 --> 00:07:08,068 Mt. Olympus was viewed as sacred by the ancient 94 00:07:08,070 --> 00:07:11,922 Greeks, and the city of Dion, located at the foot of the 95 00:07:11,924 --> 00:07:15,242 mountain, became a major center of pilgrimage and religious 96 00:07:15,244 --> 00:07:18,247 worship in the 5th century B.C. 97 00:07:18,549 --> 00:07:22,050 Dion was at the base of Mt. Olympus and it was believed 98 00:07:22,052 --> 00:07:27,555 to be a power spot. In 4th century B.C., 99 00:07:27,557 --> 00:07:31,358 Alexander the Great came to Dion before launching off 100 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,446 on his vast conquest of Asia. There is something about this 101 00:07:35,448 --> 00:07:40,301 place, something very important related to the mountain. 102 00:07:40,303 --> 00:07:44,288 The Greeks were fascinated by Mt. Olympus, and 103 00:07:44,290 --> 00:07:48,642 they believed that real people, real gods were living up there. 104 00:07:48,644 --> 00:07:52,112 When they saw lighting flashes, storm clouds, and when there 105 00:07:52,114 --> 00:07:58,252 were natural disasters, they believed the gods were angry. 106 00:07:58,254 --> 00:08:01,955 The Olympians were huge sky beings 107 00:08:01,957 --> 00:08:06,727 who descended on Earth and had a headquarters at Mt. Olympus. 108 00:08:06,729 --> 00:08:10,264 They interacted with humans. And the ancients believed that 109 00:08:10,266 --> 00:08:12,134 they were real beings. 110 00:08:12,436 --> 00:08:16,237 For many years, historians believed the Greek stories 111 00:08:16,239 --> 00:08:20,641 were complete myth. But then in 1870, the German 112 00:08:20,643 --> 00:08:23,377 archaeologist Heinrich Schleimann discovered Troy. 113 00:08:23,679 --> 00:08:29,316 Similarly, we have the story of the Oracle at Delphi and the 114 00:08:29,318 --> 00:08:33,087 god Apollo speaking through the Oracle. 115 00:08:33,089 --> 00:08:36,156 Archaeologists have now found the exact spot where the Oracle 116 00:08:36,158 --> 00:08:40,511 at Delphi sat. So now we know that some of the 117 00:08:40,513 --> 00:08:44,665 Greek stories are genuine. So was it possible that the 118 00:08:44,667 --> 00:08:48,686 stories of the Olympians are also true? 119 00:08:48,688 --> 00:08:51,272 It's possible that they were actually 120 00:08:51,274 --> 00:08:57,011 extraterrestrial beings who came here to influence humankind.. 121 00:08:57,013 --> 00:09:05,786 Could the myths of Ancient Greece be true? 122 00:09:05,788 --> 00:09:10,658 Was Mount Olympus home to gods living here on planet Earth? 123 00:09:10,660 --> 00:09:14,194 And if so, might those powerful deities have been 124 00:09:14,196 --> 00:09:18,182 extraterrestrials, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe? 125 00:09:18,284 --> 00:09:21,802 According to the accounts of the 126 00:09:21,804 --> 00:09:25,806 Greek poet Hesiod from the eighth century BC, the Olympians 127 00:09:25,808 --> 00:09:30,227 were the children of the Titans, another generation of gods 128 00:09:30,229 --> 00:09:34,148 thought to occupy nearby Mount Othrys. 129 00:09:34,150 --> 00:09:38,068 Fed up with the oppressive rule of the Titans, the Olympians 130 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:41,906 waged a brutal rebellion against them, using Mount Olympus as 131 00:09:41,908 --> 00:09:45,993 their base. 132 00:09:45,995 --> 00:09:49,663 The command was done 133 00:09:49,665 --> 00:09:52,333 from the mountains and the battle took place in the plains 134 00:09:52,335 --> 00:09:57,738 between the mountains. And the battle went on and on. 135 00:09:57,740 --> 00:10:03,177 The Olympians prevailed finally capturing the Titans. 136 00:10:03,179 --> 00:10:07,848 Whenever we have references to Mount 137 00:10:07,850 --> 00:10:14,021 Olympus, it is described to be this magnificent palace, and 138 00:10:14,023 --> 00:10:17,775 the temple walls were always gleaming of gold, or gleaming 139 00:10:17,777 --> 00:10:22,429 with silver, and a lot of little lights that they described as 140 00:10:22,431 --> 00:10:26,233 jewels, some blinking lights and all those things. 141 00:10:26,235 --> 00:10:30,204 Well, if you look at that from a modern perspective, what if 142 00:10:30,206 --> 00:10:35,042 Mount Olympus and Mount Othrys were basically the command posts 143 00:10:35,044 --> 00:10:38,311 where the Olympian and the Titans drew up their battle plans. 144 00:10:38,313 --> 00:10:41,882 And when I say command posts I'm 145 00:10:41,884 --> 00:10:45,252 talking about a functioning military outpost in the 146 00:10:45,254 --> 00:10:50,975 mountains for an all-out war between extraterrestrials. 147 00:10:50,977 --> 00:10:59,099 Could the stories of the war between the Olympians 148 00:10:59,101 --> 00:11:02,969 and the Titans actually be describing a battle between 149 00:11:02,971 --> 00:11:07,775 extraterrestrial forces? And did Mount Olympus and Mount 150 00:11:07,777 --> 00:11:12,813 Othrys serve as their tactical military bases? 151 00:11:12,815 --> 00:11:17,685 And if so, might there be other strategic reasons why 152 00:11:17,687 --> 00:11:20,821 extraterrestrials may have chosen mountains as their point 153 00:11:20,823 --> 00:11:26,993 of contact with Earth? Ancient astronaut theorists say 154 00:11:26,995 --> 00:11:31,098 the evidence can be found in a mysterious mountain dwelling 155 00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:35,001 where a prince ascended to the stars. 156 00:11:38,557 --> 00:11:42,557 Hubei Province, Central China. 157 00:11:44,353 --> 00:11:48,822 Covering an area of over 100 square miles, Wudang Mountain 158 00:11:48,824 --> 00:11:52,726 has long served as the sacred center of China's oldest 159 00:11:52,728 --> 00:11:58,398 surviving religion... Taoism. 160 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,370 This ancient religion emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao, 161 00:12:03,372 --> 00:12:07,174 the energy that is the driving force behind everything that 162 00:12:07,176 --> 00:12:12,512 exists in the universe. Located high in the mist-covered 163 00:12:12,514 --> 00:12:16,750 peaks and cliffs of Wudang Mountain is a remarkable Taoist 164 00:12:16,752 --> 00:12:21,054 complex of temples and palaces. Some dating back to the seventh 165 00:12:21,056 --> 00:12:22,522 century A.D. 166 00:12:22,524 --> 00:12:26,643 This is where Taoism began. 167 00:12:26,645 --> 00:12:29,930 And this mountain is still revered today. 168 00:12:29,932 --> 00:12:34,501 Very sacred mountain. Many pilgrims go there to 169 00:12:34,503 --> 00:12:37,904 experience some of these temples. 170 00:12:37,906 --> 00:12:41,241 Some that are devoted to Taoist philosophy, 171 00:12:41,243 --> 00:12:47,247 others to martial arts. The most famous temple of all 172 00:12:47,249 --> 00:12:52,219 is called the Nanyan Temple. All the features in this 173 00:12:52,221 --> 00:12:55,589 temple are built right into the side of a mountain. 174 00:12:55,591 --> 00:13:02,462 And it's considered one of the most important temples in all of China. 175 00:13:02,464 --> 00:13:09,803 According to accounts from the Song Dynasty, 176 00:13:09,805 --> 00:13:14,107 it was here that the Taoist hero Zhenwu abandoned his role 177 00:13:14,109 --> 00:13:17,611 as a prince to seek spiritual enlightenment in the Wudang 178 00:13:17,613 --> 00:13:23,550 Mountains in the 27th Century BC. 179 00:13:23,552 --> 00:13:27,421 The stories of Zhenwu describe him as possessing many magical 180 00:13:27,423 --> 00:13:32,492 abilities, including the power to summon thunder and lightning. 181 00:13:32,494 --> 00:13:36,129 Zhenwu translates as, uh, 182 00:13:36,131 --> 00:13:39,299 "the perfected warrior." And he was particularly 183 00:13:39,301 --> 00:13:44,471 solicited for his exorcistic healing powers and also for 184 00:13:44,473 --> 00:13:47,641 protecting the nation. He was a very, powerful 185 00:13:47,643 --> 00:13:49,609 protective deity. 186 00:13:49,611 --> 00:13:53,513 Perhaps the most famous account of Zhenwu's 187 00:13:53,515 --> 00:13:57,484 incredible abilities is believed to have taken place on the very 188 00:13:57,486 --> 00:14:02,155 location of the Nanyan Temple itself. 189 00:14:02,157 --> 00:14:05,292 The Nanyan Temple has a very peculiar site. 190 00:14:05,294 --> 00:14:08,962 It's marked by a 2.9-meter horizontal pillar or beam that 191 00:14:08,964 --> 00:14:14,101 extends over a very deep ravine right below it. 192 00:14:14,103 --> 00:14:20,373 And at the end of this pillar or beam, you have an incense burner 193 00:14:20,375 --> 00:14:25,479 that has been placed where the heads of two dragons meet. 194 00:14:25,481 --> 00:14:29,766 It's believed that this pillar marks the spot where Zhenwu 195 00:14:29,768 --> 00:14:32,886 first fathomed the cosmic truths of Taoism. 196 00:14:32,888 --> 00:14:38,191 And upon fathoming these truths, he straddled two dragons, and 197 00:14:38,193 --> 00:14:40,861 ascended up to the skies. 198 00:14:40,863 --> 00:14:46,900 Zhenwu flew upward. He flew onto his reward, to 199 00:14:46,902 --> 00:14:50,403 transcendence itself, and became one with heaven. 200 00:14:50,405 --> 00:14:54,040 And this gives a sense of the connection between the divine 201 00:14:54,042 --> 00:14:57,511 and the mountains. So it is considered a central 202 00:14:57,513 --> 00:15:01,548 shrine in the Taoist tradition, a place of great holiness. 203 00:15:01,550 --> 00:15:06,520 It is also spectacularly beautiful. 204 00:15:06,522 --> 00:15:09,523 I find the story of Zhenwu interesting because 205 00:15:09,525 --> 00:15:14,928 we have another example of somebody having disappeared into 206 00:15:14,930 --> 00:15:16,897 the sky when he left. 207 00:15:16,899 --> 00:15:23,937 He took off back into the sky to to return to the stars. 208 00:15:23,939 --> 00:15:27,707 Now what does that mean, riding on a dragon? 209 00:15:27,709 --> 00:15:31,378 Because dragons as we think of them today never existed. 210 00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:35,081 They were misunderstood technology, misunderstood machines. 211 00:15:35,083 --> 00:15:38,251 So you have to wonder if this dragon that they 212 00:15:38,253 --> 00:15:41,688 were describing isn't really some kind of spaceship? 213 00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:46,593 If Zhenwu was using the Wudang Mountain and the cliff face that 214 00:15:46,595 --> 00:15:50,764 was so inaccessible as his launching pad to make his 215 00:15:50,766 --> 00:15:55,068 journeys, the people down below would look up and they would see 216 00:15:55,070 --> 00:15:59,739 this fiery dragon and lights in the sky and a roar of flame and 217 00:15:59,741 --> 00:16:03,527 thunder and to them it was a dragon. 218 00:16:03,529 --> 00:16:08,782 People were so blown away by this that it not only 219 00:16:08,784 --> 00:16:12,202 becomes legend, it becomes religion, and it becomes 220 00:16:12,204 --> 00:16:17,123 the center piece of faith. When we see the Nanyan Temple, 221 00:16:17,125 --> 00:16:20,794 we're seeing some sort of physical artifact left behind to 222 00:16:20,796 --> 00:16:26,266 support the notion that Zhenwu was able to reach the top of 223 00:16:26,268 --> 00:16:30,303 this mountain and then head directly into the heavens. 224 00:16:30,305 --> 00:16:34,007 A very real report of extraterrestrial and human 225 00:16:34,009 --> 00:16:39,646 interaction which was then documented with the construction of this temple. 226 00:16:39,648 --> 00:16:46,620 Was Zhenwu an extraterrestrial? 227 00:16:46,622 --> 00:16:50,657 Did he use the Wudang Mountain as a launching site for his 228 00:16:50,659 --> 00:16:55,028 return to the stars? Ancient astronaut theorists say 229 00:16:55,030 --> 00:17:00,333 yes, and believe it was not the only mountain to be visited by 230 00:17:00,335 --> 00:17:02,702 otherworldly beings. 231 00:17:02,704 --> 00:17:10,477 Taticev Kamen, Macedonia, 2001. 232 00:17:10,479 --> 00:17:15,548 Archaeologists investigating this volcanic peak 3,300 feet 233 00:17:15,550 --> 00:17:20,270 above sea level discover what they believe to be the remains 234 00:17:20,272 --> 00:17:24,224 of a nearly 4,000 year-old observatory. 235 00:17:24,226 --> 00:17:28,895 The Kokino, um, Observatory in Macedonia 236 00:17:28,897 --> 00:17:33,116 has been recognized by NASA as one of the most impressive 237 00:17:33,118 --> 00:17:36,870 observatories of its kind in the world. 238 00:17:36,872 --> 00:17:40,173 The others being the Cambodian temples 239 00:17:40,175 --> 00:17:41,577 and Stonehenge itself. 240 00:17:41,979 --> 00:17:46,581 It's composed of four thrones that were carved out of stone 241 00:17:46,583 --> 00:17:50,884 that face east, the direction of the rising sun. 242 00:17:50,886 --> 00:17:53,853 In addition to the four thrones are manmade 243 00:17:53,855 --> 00:17:57,423 markers carved into the eastern rock wall that track 244 00:17:57,425 --> 00:18:01,361 celestial movements with remarkable precision. 245 00:18:01,363 --> 00:18:04,698 This location also tracks the movement of the 246 00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:10,320 sun, tracking the solstices, and the equinoxes. 247 00:18:10,322 --> 00:18:14,708 And in fact, they've discovered that 248 00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:19,412 the Kokino Observatory is a kind of lunar calendar that 249 00:18:19,414 --> 00:18:24,117 shows the phases of the moon and the 19-year eclipse cycle, which 250 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,554 is something that Stonehenge does, as well. 251 00:18:27,556 --> 00:18:31,591 So what we're looking at here is something that is very advanced 252 00:18:31,593 --> 00:18:36,363 knowledge, and we don't know where they got this from. 253 00:18:36,365 --> 00:18:39,298 It tracks the movement of the moon, and 254 00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,936 also the movement and location of the Pleiades. 255 00:18:42,938 --> 00:18:46,973 In many ancient cultures throughout the world... 256 00:18:46,975 --> 00:18:51,144 including the Egyptians, Greeks, Mayans, Celts, and numerous 257 00:18:51,146 --> 00:18:55,615 Native American tribes... the Pleiades Star Cluster is 258 00:18:55,617 --> 00:18:59,419 associated with the gods, and in some cases, even the origins of 259 00:18:59,421 --> 00:19:05,658 the human race. The earliest known depiction of 260 00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:10,263 this star cluster is an artifact known as the Nebra Sky Disk, 261 00:19:10,265 --> 00:19:13,933 which dates back to approximately the 17th century BC... 262 00:19:13,935 --> 00:19:18,938 the same time period most archaeologists believe the 263 00:19:18,940 --> 00:19:23,610 Kokino Observatory was built. But, according to Ancient 264 00:19:23,612 --> 00:19:27,447 Astronaut theorists, a connection to the Pleiades is 265 00:19:27,449 --> 00:19:31,951 not the only aspect of Kokino that is curiously similar to 266 00:19:31,953 --> 00:19:33,421 other ancient cultures. 267 00:19:34,223 --> 00:19:40,193 What I find fascinating about Kokino is that these stone 268 00:19:40,195 --> 00:19:44,531 thrones aren't exclusive to Kokino. But those stone thrones can be 269 00:19:44,533 --> 00:19:49,102 found all around the world. In fact, we find the exact same 270 00:19:49,104 --> 00:19:56,776 structures at Sacsayhuaman in Peru, in Greece, in Italy. 271 00:19:56,778 --> 00:19:59,378 When you put all this together, it makes one 272 00:19:59,380 --> 00:20:02,315 wonder if in fact this was a site that was visited long 273 00:20:02,317 --> 00:20:05,384 ago by star beings or extraterrestrials. 274 00:20:05,386 --> 00:20:08,221 And that they who created this observatory were perhaps 275 00:20:08,223 --> 00:20:10,774 commemorating something that they experienced as a result of 276 00:20:10,776 --> 00:20:13,226 an encounter with these beings. 277 00:20:13,228 --> 00:20:19,799 Is the Kokino Observatory evidence of an 278 00:20:19,801 --> 00:20:25,004 otherworldly presence in the mountains of Macedonia? 279 00:20:25,006 --> 00:20:28,407 Did extraterrestrials use locations like these to share 280 00:20:28,409 --> 00:20:33,313 scientific knowledge with early humans? 281 00:20:33,315 --> 00:20:38,251 Ancient Astronaut theorists say yes, and as further proof, they 282 00:20:38,253 --> 00:20:42,138 point to numerous cultures that believe otherworldly beings 283 00:20:42,140 --> 00:20:46,092 visit the mountains even to this day. 284 00:20:46,502 --> 00:20:49,502 The Peruvian Andes. 2009. 285 00:20:55,745 --> 00:21:01,666 Tens of thousands of people from all over the region journey to 286 00:21:01,668 --> 00:21:04,919 the Sinakara Valley, near Ausangate Mountain... 287 00:21:04,921 --> 00:21:12,126 for the Quyllur Rit'I or Snow Star Festival. 288 00:21:12,128 --> 00:21:17,798 Historical records show that local Catholics adopted this 289 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:23,020 annual celebration back in 1780, but most experts agree it likely 290 00:21:23,022 --> 00:21:27,975 dates back hundreds and possibly thousands of years earlier. 291 00:21:27,977 --> 00:21:33,814 And although no one knows exactly when or why the Snow 292 00:21:33,816 --> 00:21:38,586 Star Festival was started, oral traditions maintain that it has 293 00:21:38,588 --> 00:21:42,590 always been tied to a star cluster the native Quecha people 294 00:21:42,592 --> 00:21:46,877 call Collca... or as it's known to many other cultures, 295 00:21:46,879 --> 00:21:51,098 the Pleiades... the same star cluster that is 296 00:21:51,100 --> 00:21:55,970 tracked by the Kokino Observatory in Macedonia. 297 00:21:55,972 --> 00:21:59,073 The Quyllur Rit'I Festival seems to go back 298 00:21:59,075 --> 00:22:02,843 to a much earlier festival that ties in literally with the 299 00:22:02,845 --> 00:22:08,065 stars, in particular, the Pleiades, which disappears 300 00:22:08,067 --> 00:22:11,685 in April in the southern hemisphere from the view in 301 00:22:11,687 --> 00:22:16,957 that area and then reappears in June. 302 00:22:16,959 --> 00:22:20,861 And this can be tied to agricultural seasons. 303 00:22:20,863 --> 00:22:25,966 Is it merely coincidence that an ancient 304 00:22:25,968 --> 00:22:30,204 mountain observatory in Macedonia and an ancient 305 00:22:30,206 --> 00:22:34,308 mountain festival 7,000 miles away in Peru, are both 306 00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:39,263 associated with the Pleiades Star Cluster? 307 00:22:39,265 --> 00:22:45,553 Perhaps further clues can be found in the rituals of the Snow Star Festival. 308 00:22:45,555 --> 00:22:51,992 The Quecha people, descendants of the ancient Incas, return to 309 00:22:51,994 --> 00:22:55,996 this location every year to be surrounded by four sacred 310 00:22:55,998 --> 00:23:01,635 mountains. In hopes of gaining good 311 00:23:01,637 --> 00:23:05,673 fortune, they spend several days dressed in traditional costumes, 312 00:23:05,675 --> 00:23:11,178 dancing, and making ceremonial offerings to the apu, the 313 00:23:11,180 --> 00:23:13,631 spirits of the mountains. 314 00:23:13,633 --> 00:23:19,186 In the ancient civilization of the 315 00:23:19,188 --> 00:23:21,689 Incas, there is a belief that there are spirits in the 316 00:23:21,691 --> 00:23:25,926 mountains. They're called apu. 317 00:23:25,928 --> 00:23:29,029 And ceremonial leaders, chieftains, priests can make 318 00:23:29,031 --> 00:23:31,832 connection, can get some wisdom and guidance. 319 00:23:31,834 --> 00:23:34,837 They are benevolent spirits. 320 00:23:36,939 --> 00:23:39,909 Each mountain has its own apu spirit. 321 00:23:39,911 --> 00:23:44,745 The apus are supernatural things but they are not deities, 322 00:23:44,747 --> 00:23:48,001 so people are not necessarily praying to them. 323 00:23:50,503 --> 00:23:53,954 Rather they are in a relationship with them, asking them 324 00:23:53,956 --> 00:23:56,325 for the favor that they can provide. 325 00:23:57,327 --> 00:24:01,545 The Incans were very specific in believing that the apu 326 00:24:01,647 --> 00:24:06,332 actually existed as tangible entities who they were interacting with, 327 00:24:06,334 --> 00:24:09,669 and who they were, in fact, very much beholden to 328 00:24:09,671 --> 00:24:13,974 for their technology, for their civilization. 329 00:24:13,976 --> 00:24:16,977 You have to wonder if these apus were 330 00:24:16,979 --> 00:24:22,583 in fact extraterrestrials that the Incas were in contact with. 331 00:24:22,585 --> 00:24:26,720 And today, the people return to these mountains to have some 332 00:24:26,722 --> 00:24:31,642 kind of contact and perhaps advice from the apus. 333 00:24:31,644 --> 00:24:40,718 Might the apu have been extraterrestrial beings? 334 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:45,005 Beings who came to Earth from the Pleiades Star Cluster and 335 00:24:45,007 --> 00:24:49,009 interacted with the Incans in ancient times? 336 00:24:49,011 --> 00:24:54,081 Perhaps the answers can be found in the culmination of the 337 00:24:54,083 --> 00:24:59,686 festival itself. At the close of the celebration, 338 00:24:59,688 --> 00:25:03,023 select members of the Quecha community prepare to make the 339 00:25:03,025 --> 00:25:08,028 treacherous journey up the mountain glacier. 340 00:25:08,030 --> 00:25:12,833 They go in search of ice they refer to as the "snow star." 341 00:25:12,835 --> 00:25:17,471 The pilgrims go up to the top of the mountain 342 00:25:17,473 --> 00:25:21,258 and they ask the apu if they can have some of this ice. 343 00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:26,614 It's intentionally something that is supposed to be grueling. 344 00:25:26,616 --> 00:25:31,819 Some people have even been known to die along the way. 345 00:25:31,821 --> 00:25:34,605 That particular ice is supposed to have healing 346 00:25:34,607 --> 00:25:37,057 properties. And those that take 347 00:25:37,059 --> 00:25:40,861 the journey have good health for the rest of their life. 348 00:25:40,863 --> 00:25:44,782 So it is a gift from the apus that they go and take and bring 349 00:25:44,784 --> 00:25:48,002 back down to the village. 350 00:25:48,304 --> 00:25:54,173 They believe the glacier ice has unique healing capabilities. 351 00:25:54,175 --> 00:25:57,077 Now, it is possible the presence of an extraterrestrial craft, 352 00:25:57,079 --> 00:26:00,881 which the indigenous people may refer to as a star, as it 353 00:26:00,883 --> 00:26:05,970 landed, created some sort of intrinsic energy to the ice in 354 00:26:05,972 --> 00:26:10,140 that area, giving that ice actually a tangible healing 355 00:26:10,142 --> 00:26:14,695 Throughout the ancient world, we learn 356 00:26:14,697 --> 00:26:17,097 of extraterrestrials depositing treasures and 357 00:26:17,099 --> 00:26:19,667 knowledge in sacred mountains. It's possible that that's what 358 00:26:19,669 --> 00:26:23,203 we're seeing here with the Snow Star ritual. 359 00:26:23,205 --> 00:26:27,608 It's very name tells us that it comes from beyond the Earth. 360 00:26:27,610 --> 00:26:33,213 Did extraterrestrials really 361 00:26:33,215 --> 00:26:37,618 visit the mountains of Peru? And might they have left behind 362 00:26:37,620 --> 00:26:41,789 healing technology in the glacial ice of the Andes? 363 00:26:41,791 --> 00:26:48,429 If so, might there be evidence in other parts of the world that 364 00:26:48,431 --> 00:26:52,399 mountains served as points of connection between humans and 365 00:26:52,401 --> 00:26:54,535 otherworldly beings? 366 00:26:54,537 --> 00:27:05,529 Shandong Province, China. Referred to as the "cosmic peak 367 00:27:05,531 --> 00:27:10,250 of the East", Mt. Tai has been a site of pilgrimage and worship 368 00:27:10,252 --> 00:27:17,324 Mt. Tai is considered an extremely powerful 369 00:27:17,326 --> 00:27:21,795 place, a place where people can communicate with the divine. 370 00:27:21,797 --> 00:27:25,666 In Chinese antiquity, 72 emperors were believed 371 00:27:25,668 --> 00:27:30,604 to have made the pilgrimage to Mt. Tai. 372 00:27:30,606 --> 00:27:33,774 They would do ceremonies there that 373 00:27:33,776 --> 00:27:38,278 were crucial to their reign, If they did the ceremonies 374 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,898 correctly, they gained the approval of the gods and the 375 00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:44,952 legitimacy that stems from that. If they made a mistake, an 376 00:27:44,954 --> 00:27:51,625 entire dynasty could be in trouble. 377 00:27:51,627 --> 00:27:55,829 In 110 B.C., Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty 378 00:27:55,831 --> 00:27:59,633 made the first of several journeys to Mt. Tai during 379 00:27:59,635 --> 00:28:03,420 his reign. According to the historical 380 00:28:03,422 --> 00:28:07,508 accounts of scribe Sima Qian, mysterious sightings were 381 00:28:07,510 --> 00:28:11,445 reported during his time on the mountain. 382 00:28:11,447 --> 00:28:14,214 There seems to have been a beam of light 383 00:28:14,216 --> 00:28:16,650 that appeared off into the horizon. 384 00:28:16,652 --> 00:28:19,987 And there was a mysterious white cloud that 385 00:28:19,989 --> 00:28:25,192 emerged from the mound where the sacrifice is performed. 386 00:28:25,194 --> 00:28:30,948 In the historical record, a white cloud 387 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:34,902 and a beam of light appeared as though he summoned them. 388 00:28:34,904 --> 00:28:38,138 So what is really being described here? 389 00:28:38,140 --> 00:28:41,008 And why must his followers stay behind? 390 00:28:41,010 --> 00:28:44,244 It reads much more like an encounter with some type of an 391 00:28:44,246 --> 00:28:49,349 extraterrestrial craft that was misinterpreted as some type 392 00:28:49,351 --> 00:28:51,887 of a divine event. 393 00:28:53,689 --> 00:28:56,640 The Chinese believe that the emperors were actually communicating 394 00:28:56,642 --> 00:28:59,643 with the gods. So it's possible that in fact 395 00:28:59,645 --> 00:29:06,281 the ETs were guiding Chinese civilization through their leaders. 396 00:29:06,502 --> 00:29:11,538 Were the emperors of ancient China in contact with 397 00:29:11,540 --> 00:29:16,410 extraterrestrials? And might this story suggest 398 00:29:16,412 --> 00:29:20,664 that mountains like Mt. Tai served as a kind of 399 00:29:20,666 --> 00:29:25,519 communication portal to places beyond the Earth? 400 00:29:25,521 --> 00:29:31,458 Perhaps the answers can be found not on the tops of mountains, 401 00:29:31,460 --> 00:29:37,295 but on the tops of man-made structures found all over the world. 402 00:29:42,260 --> 00:29:47,260 Shikoku, Japan. Here, towering 6,500 feet over 403 00:29:47,294 --> 00:29:52,313 this ancient island, is Mt. Ishizuchi, one of the most 404 00:29:52,315 --> 00:29:55,450 revered mountains in all of Japan. 405 00:29:55,452 --> 00:30:00,455 The sharp summit is called "Tengudake," named after the 406 00:30:00,457 --> 00:30:05,994 fearsome demons known as "Tengu" thought to live not only here, 407 00:30:05,996 --> 00:30:09,130 but in mountains all over Japan. 408 00:30:09,132 --> 00:30:13,901 These are fierce birdlike creatures. 409 00:30:13,903 --> 00:30:15,970 They are frightening to look at. 410 00:30:15,972 --> 00:30:18,973 They've got feathers, of course, and sharp teeth, 411 00:30:18,975 --> 00:30:24,996 They've got claws and beaks, and yet they are persons. 412 00:30:24,998 --> 00:30:29,183 They are somewhere between a bird and a person, but in a very 413 00:30:29,185 --> 00:30:30,718 frightening form. 414 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,339 The Karasu Tengu, which translates as "crow 415 00:30:34,341 --> 00:30:39,193 Tengu," are born out of these giant eggs. 416 00:30:39,195 --> 00:30:42,013 And these creatures are typically very mischievous 417 00:30:42,015 --> 00:30:44,399 and even malevolent towards humans. 418 00:30:44,401 --> 00:30:46,934 They like to play tricks on them. 419 00:30:46,936 --> 00:30:49,771 They like to make them lose their way in the mountain. 420 00:30:49,773 --> 00:30:53,674 They often kidnap people as well. 421 00:30:53,676 --> 00:30:58,196 One story about the Tengu concerns Mt. 422 00:30:58,198 --> 00:31:03,117 Ishizuchi: a six-year-old boy went missing at the top of the 423 00:31:03,119 --> 00:31:07,188 mountain, Tengu peak. When they asked him 424 00:31:07,190 --> 00:31:10,091 what had happened, he said that he had left the trail, 425 00:31:10,093 --> 00:31:14,045 and that a all-black humanlike figure from behind 426 00:31:14,047 --> 00:31:17,582 said, "If you are lost, I will help you. Close your eyes." 427 00:31:17,584 --> 00:31:23,438 And the next thing he knew he was back home safe and sound. 428 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,974 Belief in the Tengu was widespread. 429 00:31:26,976 --> 00:31:31,763 In fact, as recently as 1860, the Edo government posted an 430 00:31:31,765 --> 00:31:36,067 official notice to the Tengu, ordering them to evacuate the 431 00:31:36,069 --> 00:31:40,254 mountains before a Shogun's upcoming visit. 432 00:31:40,256 --> 00:31:44,892 But did these strange and powerful beings really exist? 433 00:31:44,894 --> 00:31:49,098 And if so, what were the Tengu? 434 00:31:50,500 --> 00:31:52,302 All over the world we have stories 435 00:31:52,303 --> 00:31:55,003 of what we call birdmen like the Tengu. 436 00:31:55,004 --> 00:31:58,840 And these are men that are often depicted with wings on their 437 00:31:58,842 --> 00:32:04,128 backs, they're able to fly. And you have to wonder if really 438 00:32:04,130 --> 00:32:08,316 these aren't some kind of extraterrestrials and that the 439 00:32:08,318 --> 00:32:13,254 wings are purely symbolic. But they're called bird-men and 440 00:32:13,256 --> 00:32:18,824 have wings because they can fly. They can fly in their spaceships. 441 00:32:22,065 --> 00:32:25,032 The biggest creatures, or the biggest gods that we can talk 442 00:32:25,034 --> 00:32:32,039 about with wings are none other than the Anunnaki. 443 00:32:32,041 --> 00:32:36,544 And to this day, in museums all around the world, we can see 444 00:32:36,546 --> 00:32:42,517 them as these winged majestic beings with muscular bodies 445 00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:48,956 and these massive wings. The Sumerian mythologies 446 00:32:48,958 --> 00:32:54,829 proclaim that the Anunnaki will return one day. 447 00:32:54,831 --> 00:32:59,700 And so the question is, is it possible that they never left? 448 00:32:59,702 --> 00:33:02,970 And what better place to go than the mountains? 449 00:33:02,972 --> 00:33:07,975 Because it would be a logical place to escape detection. 450 00:33:07,977 --> 00:33:10,644 Might the accounts of the Tengu really be 451 00:33:10,646 --> 00:33:17,084 describing Anunnaki? Did the same beings that walked 452 00:33:17,086 --> 00:33:21,873 amongst the ancient Sumerians take refuge in the mountains 453 00:33:21,875 --> 00:33:26,160 of Japan? And if so, might they 454 00:33:26,162 --> 00:33:30,047 also have hidden in other mountains throughout the world? 455 00:33:30,049 --> 00:33:40,224 Tenerife, Canary Islands. Reaching a height of over 24,000 456 00:33:40,226 --> 00:33:46,347 feet from its base under the ocean, Mt. Teide is the 457 00:33:46,349 --> 00:33:50,885 third-largest volcano in the world. 458 00:33:50,887 --> 00:33:54,188 The surrounding region was once home to the mysterious Guanche 459 00:33:54,190 --> 00:34:00,294 people, thought to live on the islands as far back as 200 B.C. 460 00:34:00,296 --> 00:34:05,383 After the Spanish invaded in the 15th century, the native culture 461 00:34:05,385 --> 00:34:10,221 and traditions quickly disappeared... 462 00:34:10,223 --> 00:34:14,559 but some archaeologists believe a series of pyramids found near 463 00:34:14,561 --> 00:34:18,596 Mt. Teide were built by the Gaunche, and may provide more 464 00:34:18,598 --> 00:34:22,233 clues about this ancient civilization. 465 00:34:22,235 --> 00:34:24,485 The Guanche people are fascinating 466 00:34:24,487 --> 00:34:27,238 because there is so much that we don't know about them. 467 00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:29,907 The Guanche people are a real mystery. 468 00:34:29,909 --> 00:34:34,762 They mummified their dead. So we're able to obtain what 469 00:34:34,764 --> 00:34:38,950 information we do have about them through looking 470 00:34:38,952 --> 00:34:40,485 at some of these mummies. 471 00:34:41,287 --> 00:34:46,941 The Guanche were also pyramid builders. 472 00:34:46,943 --> 00:34:49,777 And the pyramids that they are building resemble the earliest 473 00:34:49,779 --> 00:34:52,913 step pyramids in Egypt, but also the step pyramids that we see 474 00:34:52,915 --> 00:34:54,849 throughout the Mayan culture. 475 00:34:54,851 --> 00:34:59,770 Quite close to Mount Teide, there are a series 476 00:34:59,772 --> 00:35:05,276 of pyramids that seem to have some relationship to the 477 00:35:05,278 --> 00:35:09,814 mountain or volcano. And they may have even been 478 00:35:09,816 --> 00:35:12,766 representations of that mountain itself. 479 00:35:12,768 --> 00:35:17,038 But they also were places of communication with the gods. 480 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,158 But who those gods were is lost today. 481 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:28,115 But for what purpose were the Mount Teide 482 00:35:28,117 --> 00:35:31,636 pyramids built? Were they meant to be places of 483 00:35:31,638 --> 00:35:35,006 worship? Or could it be, as ancient 484 00:35:35,008 --> 00:35:39,060 astronaut theorists suggest, that they were constructed to 485 00:35:39,062 --> 00:35:42,179 welcome otherworldly visitors? 486 00:35:42,181 --> 00:35:50,235 Perhaps the answers can be found in the mythology of the Guanche people. 487 00:35:52,142 --> 00:35:57,144 The Gauche also believed that Mount Teide was a huge pyramid 488 00:35:57,146 --> 00:35:59,830 put there by the gods. They also believed that they are 489 00:35:59,832 --> 00:36:03,668 seeing gods coming and going from this mountain, but perhaps 490 00:36:03,670 --> 00:36:07,054 what they're really seeing is extraterrestrial vehicles coming 491 00:36:07,056 --> 00:36:09,006 and going from the mountain. 492 00:36:09,008 --> 00:36:13,327 The ancient Egyptians called their step pyramids 493 00:36:13,329 --> 00:36:16,263 "the stairway to heaven." And maintained that the gods 494 00:36:16,265 --> 00:36:20,067 themselves taught them how to build these structures. 495 00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:24,355 It's possible that the Gauche step pyramids were built based 496 00:36:24,357 --> 00:36:27,174 on instructions from the same gods. 497 00:36:27,176 --> 00:36:31,112 And that they, too, are portals or gateways to heaven. 498 00:36:31,114 --> 00:36:36,584 Is it possible that the Guanche people built these 499 00:36:36,586 --> 00:36:41,539 pyramids not for mythical gods, but as launching pads for actual 500 00:36:41,541 --> 00:36:45,876 beings that visited them in the distant past? 501 00:36:45,878 --> 00:36:51,882 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and point to strange 502 00:36:51,884 --> 00:36:56,870 sightings that continue around Mount Teide even to this day. 503 00:36:56,872 --> 00:37:02,309 That region has had more than its share 504 00:37:02,311 --> 00:37:06,480 of interesting U.F.O. sightings. Not just of U.F.O. sightings, 505 00:37:06,482 --> 00:37:11,917 but really dramatic, I mean off- the-charts dramatic U.F.O. sightings. 506 00:37:13,688 --> 00:37:17,958 In June of 1976, people on the ground saw this glowing large 507 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,946 three-story high almost like a globe that at times was 508 00:37:21,948 --> 00:37:24,749 transparent, and in fact, the Spanish military investigated 509 00:37:24,751 --> 00:37:27,234 this particular case. And they were left with 510 00:37:27,236 --> 00:37:30,738 something that was truly unknown, truly extraordinary. 511 00:37:30,740 --> 00:37:36,644 Did the Guanche people witness extraterrestrials 512 00:37:36,646 --> 00:37:41,348 coming and going from Mount Teide in the distant past? 513 00:37:41,350 --> 00:37:45,603 Many ancient astronaut theorists believe that not only have 514 00:37:45,605 --> 00:37:49,940 aliens landed on mountains, but that they may even have created 515 00:37:49,942 --> 00:37:54,094 elaborate bases deep inside of them. 516 00:38:00,462 --> 00:38:04,462 Bugarach, France. 2012. 517 00:38:06,586 --> 00:38:09,988 Believing that the end of the Mayan calendar is a prediction 518 00:38:09,990 --> 00:38:13,474 of the apocalypse, thousands descend on this mountain 519 00:38:13,476 --> 00:38:18,963 village, hoping to be rescued by extraterrestrials. 520 00:38:18,965 --> 00:38:26,971 Bugarach has been known as a holy 521 00:38:26,973 --> 00:38:30,608 mountain since time immemorial in this part of France. 522 00:38:30,610 --> 00:38:33,578 There is something truly magnetic about this mountain 523 00:38:33,580 --> 00:38:37,148 that is bringing people to come and watch it. 524 00:38:37,150 --> 00:38:39,667 There is so much U.F.O. activity, there are so many 525 00:38:39,669 --> 00:38:42,587 unidentified lights, unidentified objects that are 526 00:38:42,589 --> 00:38:45,523 seen around that mountain. That people come from all over 527 00:38:45,525 --> 00:38:47,962 Europe to observe Bugarach. 528 00:38:49,164 --> 00:38:55,951 All throughout the mountain is a vast labyrinth of limestone caves. 529 00:38:56,353 --> 00:39:00,021 These limestone caves have led a number of people to believe 530 00:39:00,023 --> 00:39:04,175 that this is actually some kind of alien base. 531 00:39:04,177 --> 00:39:08,696 That extraterrestrials are living inside the mountain, 532 00:39:08,698 --> 00:39:11,649 and in fact they've been living there for thousands of years. 533 00:39:11,651 --> 00:39:17,188 So, what happened in 2012, is that all 534 00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:20,024 sorts of doomsday groups flocked to the area, because 535 00:39:20,026 --> 00:39:22,860 they felt like it would be the only place that would be safe 536 00:39:22,862 --> 00:39:25,380 from the devastation and destruction that would engulf 537 00:39:25,382 --> 00:39:28,666 the entire planet. They believed that the aliens 538 00:39:28,668 --> 00:39:31,402 were going to come out and protect anybody who was encamped 539 00:39:31,404 --> 00:39:34,505 in the area, and that they would be the ones who would start the 540 00:39:34,507 --> 00:39:36,724 new world that would come afterwards. 541 00:39:36,726 --> 00:39:40,478 Could extraterrestrials really be 542 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,849 living inside a mountain in France, remaining undetected for 543 00:39:44,851 --> 00:39:50,888 thousands of years? And if so, might there be other 544 00:39:50,890 --> 00:39:56,727 similar mountains secretly housing otherworldly civilizations? 545 00:39:56,729 --> 00:40:06,704 Mount Shasta, California. Dominating the landscape at over 546 00:40:06,706 --> 00:40:11,426 14,179 feet, this mountain has 547 00:40:11,428 --> 00:40:16,414 inspired strange and incredible stories for thousands of years. 548 00:40:16,416 --> 00:40:20,017 The local Native Americans have always felt there 549 00:40:20,019 --> 00:40:22,954 was something special about Mount Shasta. 550 00:40:22,956 --> 00:40:27,258 It was thought that humankind actually originated from within 551 00:40:27,260 --> 00:40:32,063 Mount Shasta. That there was a great cataclysm 552 00:40:32,065 --> 00:40:37,902 and that the people of planet Earth actually hid within the mountain. 553 00:40:37,904 --> 00:40:43,741 When the cataclysm had passed, the people were able to come out 554 00:40:43,743 --> 00:40:47,612 of Mount Shasta and repopulate the world. 555 00:40:47,614 --> 00:40:54,752 A book came out in the 1890s proposing the idea 556 00:40:54,754 --> 00:40:59,223 that there was a culture that lived within subterranean 557 00:40:59,225 --> 00:41:01,559 chambers in Mount Shasta. 558 00:41:01,561 --> 00:41:10,501 Over the years, there have been a number of very 559 00:41:10,503 --> 00:41:14,138 significant U.F.O. sightings around Mount Shasta and you have 560 00:41:14,140 --> 00:41:19,076 to wonder why is that the case? I don't think we can rule out 561 00:41:19,078 --> 00:41:22,647 the idea of some sort of permanent presence buried deep 562 00:41:22,649 --> 00:41:25,016 within Mount Shasta itself. 563 00:41:25,018 --> 00:41:32,089 Could alien beings really be living on planet Earth 564 00:41:32,091 --> 00:41:37,845 hidden inside mountains? And, if so, might they have 565 00:41:37,847 --> 00:41:42,433 built advanced civilizations, not only within Mount Shasta 566 00:41:42,435 --> 00:41:45,770 but in mountains across the world? 567 00:41:45,772 --> 00:41:51,609 Great mountains have been objects of fascination and 568 00:41:51,611 --> 00:41:55,813 veneration for as long as we have stories. 569 00:41:55,815 --> 00:42:00,151 They reach to the heavens. They have hidden crevices and 570 00:42:00,153 --> 00:42:03,287 caves. They are also dangerous. 571 00:42:03,289 --> 00:42:06,557 So we have the severity, issues of life and death. 572 00:42:06,559 --> 00:42:09,710 So in every corner of the planet, there have been special 573 00:42:09,712 --> 00:42:11,132 and sacred mountains. 574 00:42:12,833 --> 00:42:14,633 Throughout the world 575 00:42:14,634 --> 00:42:17,969 we find myths and legends of sacred mountains that are not 576 00:42:17,971 --> 00:42:23,374 only landing places or places where the gods or star beings 577 00:42:23,376 --> 00:42:28,563 descended, but also places that became their sanctuary. 578 00:42:28,565 --> 00:42:32,016 And humans have been almost magnetically attracted to these 579 00:42:32,018 --> 00:42:35,403 places since the beginning of recorded history. 580 00:42:35,405 --> 00:42:38,889 So, it's entirely possible that the 581 00:42:38,891 --> 00:42:43,226 extraterrestrials set up space bases in mountains all over the world. 582 00:42:43,228 --> 00:42:45,746 That way they could watch 583 00:42:45,748 --> 00:42:50,401 humanity, help guide us, and if necessary intervene again in 584 00:42:50,403 --> 00:42:53,704 human affairs as they had done in the past. 585 00:42:53,706 --> 00:42:56,924 And perhaps this is why we're drawn to mountains. 586 00:42:56,926 --> 00:43:02,380 We instinctively know that the extraterrestrial gods are there. 587 00:43:02,382 --> 00:43:04,015 And always have been. 588 00:43:04,017 --> 00:43:10,021 Are the Earth's mountains really the sites of 589 00:43:10,023 --> 00:43:15,426 alien visitations that occurred thousands of years ago? 590 00:43:15,428 --> 00:43:18,130 Did extraterrestrials use remote mountain 591 00:43:18,131 --> 00:43:21,832 peaks to interact with early man? 592 00:43:22,933 --> 00:43:25,602 To guide the course of our civilization? 593 00:43:26,204 --> 00:43:30,323 Or simply to live among us undetected? 594 00:43:32,225 --> 00:43:35,313 Might this explain why humans 595 00:43:35,315 --> 00:43:39,417 continue to worship mountains as places of divine, or even 596 00:43:39,419 --> 00:43:45,289 otherworldly connection? Perhaps one day we'll discover 597 00:43:45,291 --> 00:43:49,493 that not only were our mountains inhabited by extraterrestrials 598 00:43:49,495 --> 00:43:54,265 in the distant past, but that, in fact... 599 00:43:54,267 --> 00:43:56,267 they still are. 600 00:43:56,268 --> 00:43:57,268 Corr. by Bellows, sync by bjoernhund, www.addic7ed.com 601 00:43:57,318 --> 00:44:01,868 Repair and Synchronization by Easy Subtitles Synchronizer 1.0.0.0 54104
