Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,796 --> 00:00:07,883
Megalithic stone columns
that have stood
2
00:00:07,883 --> 00:00:10,552
for an estimated 5,000 years.
3
00:00:10,552 --> 00:00:13,013
Stonehenge is
completely different
4
00:00:13,013 --> 00:00:15,015
to anything else
in the Neolithic world.
5
00:00:15,015 --> 00:00:17,768
NARRATOR:
But could Stonehenge
have been something more
6
00:00:17,768 --> 00:00:20,979
than conventional historians
have assumed?
7
00:00:20,979 --> 00:00:23,440
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
The fact that we now know
that Stonehenge
8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,610
was part of
a much larger superstructure
9
00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:30,405
indicates we're facing
a sensational mystery.
10
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:32,491
NARRATOR:
And could
modern scientific findings
11
00:00:32,491 --> 00:00:34,868
reveal a startling truth?
12
00:00:34,868 --> 00:00:37,454
HUGH NEWMAN:
We don't really know
who these people were,
13
00:00:37,454 --> 00:00:39,331
don't really know
where they come from.
14
00:00:39,331 --> 00:00:41,458
WILLIAM HENRY:
The people who built Stonehenge
15
00:00:41,458 --> 00:00:43,335
just vanished from the Earth.
16
00:00:43,335 --> 00:00:46,463
NARRATOR:
Might the mystery of Stonehenge
17
00:00:46,463 --> 00:00:50,050
be the key to unlocking
the secrets of the universe,
18
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,552
and provide tangible evidence
19
00:00:52,552 --> 00:00:55,931
of mankind's
extraterrestrial past?
20
00:00:55,931 --> 00:00:57,557
DAVID CHILDRESS:
Is it possible that Stonehenge
21
00:00:57,557 --> 00:01:02,479
was actually built by these
sophisticated extraterrestrials?
22
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:05,357
It's a fantastic thought,
but it's possible.
23
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:10,279
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
24
00:01:10,279 --> 00:01:12,781
in the universe.
25
00:01:12,781 --> 00:01:16,034
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
26
00:01:17,286 --> 00:01:20,080
It demands
we question everything
27
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,457
we have ever been taught.
28
00:01:22,457 --> 00:01:25,961
The evidence is all around us.
29
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:29,923
The future is
right before our eyes.
30
00:01:29,923 --> 00:01:32,801
We are not alone.
31
00:01:32,801 --> 00:01:35,887
We have never been alone.
32
00:01:49,401 --> 00:01:51,361
NARRATOR:
For six years,
33
00:01:51,361 --> 00:01:54,156
the U. K. Ministry of Defence
has been in a slow process
34
00:01:54,156 --> 00:01:57,534
of releasing the entirety
of their UFO files
35
00:01:57,534 --> 00:02:00,495
to the National Archives
of England.
36
00:02:00,495 --> 00:02:03,540
Now the final batch
of declassified reports
37
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:05,584
are released to the public.
38
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:09,838
Despite Ministry claims
that no credible evidence
39
00:02:09,838 --> 00:02:14,259
or alien craft was discovered
in over 50 years of study,
40
00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:18,347
one report,
from January 14, 2009,
41
00:02:18,347 --> 00:02:21,850
includes a fascinating photo
of a diskâshaped craft
42
00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:25,896
hovering above the world's
most famous megalithic site:
43
00:02:25,896 --> 00:02:29,107
Stonehenge.
44
00:02:29,107 --> 00:02:33,945
Stonehenge has been the site
of a number of UFO encounters
45
00:02:33,945 --> 00:02:35,364
over the years.
46
00:02:36,573 --> 00:02:38,784
The county of Wiltshire itself
47
00:02:38,784 --> 00:02:41,495
is something
of a UFO hot spot.
48
00:02:42,537 --> 00:02:45,582
Dating back over the lifetime
49
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:48,585
of the Ministry of Defence's
UFO project,
50
00:02:48,585 --> 00:02:51,004
there have probably been
several hundred,
51
00:02:51,004 --> 00:02:54,466
if not low thousands,
of sightings recorded
52
00:02:54,466 --> 00:02:56,468
in the county of Wiltshire.
53
00:02:58,053 --> 00:03:00,972
NARRATOR:
But Stonehenge is
not only a major hot spot
54
00:03:00,972 --> 00:03:03,892
for UFO reports,
it is also the center
55
00:03:03,892 --> 00:03:06,103
of the crop circle phenomenon,
56
00:03:06,103 --> 00:03:09,898
with dozens of unexplained
crop formations appearing
57
00:03:09,898 --> 00:03:12,025
in the area every year.
58
00:03:13,402 --> 00:03:16,947
Many of the most
spectacular formations
59
00:03:16,947 --> 00:03:19,741
have appeared
in that geographical area.
60
00:03:19,741 --> 00:03:23,412
This is a location
where there has been
61
00:03:23,412 --> 00:03:25,455
more than, I suppose,
62
00:03:25,455 --> 00:03:28,750
a fair share of weirdness
over the years.
63
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:30,961
People are
kind of obsessed by it,
64
00:03:30,961 --> 00:03:33,588
because it's the only way
they can get back
65
00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:36,425
to have some contact
with their ancestors.
66
00:03:36,425 --> 00:03:39,594
I believe there's much,
much more going on here.
67
00:03:40,971 --> 00:03:42,889
NARRATOR:
Why does the area of Stonehenge
68
00:03:42,889 --> 00:03:44,975
experience
more unexplained phenomena
69
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:47,978
than any other place on Earth?
70
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:52,232
Could a new examination
of these massive stone blocks
71
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:55,193
reveal profound truths
that have remained hidden
72
00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:58,155
for more than 5,000 years?
73
00:04:02,659 --> 00:04:04,453
The British Isles.
74
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:07,038
55 BC.
75
00:04:07,038 --> 00:04:10,500
Julius Caesar begins
a military campaign
76
00:04:10,500 --> 00:04:13,962
to extend the Roman Empire
into Britain.
77
00:04:13,962 --> 00:04:17,924
His forces are met
by ferocious resistance
78
00:04:17,924 --> 00:04:22,012
from the native Celtic tribes,
led by their Druid priests.
79
00:04:22,012 --> 00:04:24,973
GRAHAM PHILLIPS:
The tribes of Britain
80
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:28,226
were all united
against the warring Romans
81
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:31,146
by the Druids,
82
00:04:31,146 --> 00:04:35,192
to repel the greatest general
who's ever lived.
83
00:04:37,611 --> 00:04:40,238
NARRATOR:
It would take the Romans
nearly a century
84
00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:42,574
to conquer Britain.
85
00:04:42,574 --> 00:04:45,577
Once they succeeded,
they turned Stonehenge
86
00:04:45,577 --> 00:04:48,371
into a temple
of their sun god, Apollo.
87
00:04:48,371 --> 00:04:51,792
But the Romans were not
the first to adopt this monument
88
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:53,752
as their own.
89
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:56,963
The Celts themselves
had migrated into Britain
90
00:04:56,963 --> 00:05:00,217
some 2,500 years before.
91
00:05:00,217 --> 00:05:03,595
When they arrived,
Stonehenge was already there,
92
00:05:03,595 --> 00:05:06,973
but the country was
eerily deserted.
93
00:05:08,850 --> 00:05:12,437
The people who are responsible
for Stonehenge, for erecting it,
94
00:05:12,437 --> 00:05:14,981
are nowhere to be seen,
and this is a puzzling,
95
00:05:14,981 --> 00:05:17,359
uh, piece of information
that we know now.
96
00:05:17,359 --> 00:05:19,986
NARRATOR:
Instead of ignoring Stonehenge
97
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:23,240
and building new temples,
as historians would expect,
98
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,117
the Celts adopted it
as their own.
99
00:05:26,117 --> 00:05:27,911
You have to ask yourself:
100
00:05:27,911 --> 00:05:31,206
Why did the Celts and Druids
adopt Stonehenge
101
00:05:31,206 --> 00:05:34,209
as a place of worship
if they didn't build it?
102
00:05:34,209 --> 00:05:37,879
Did they somehow know
the power of the place?
103
00:05:39,256 --> 00:05:41,132
NARRATOR:
Archaeologists today believe
104
00:05:41,132 --> 00:05:43,176
that this great
Neolithic stone circle
105
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:45,554
has stood on the plains
of Wiltshire, England,
106
00:05:45,554 --> 00:05:49,516
for no less than 5,000 years.
107
00:05:49,516 --> 00:05:52,978
An outer ring
of 30 fourâton stones
108
00:05:52,978 --> 00:05:54,896
surrounds five huge arches
109
00:05:54,896 --> 00:05:59,109
whose massive blocks weigh
22 tons each,
110
00:05:59,109 --> 00:06:02,362
and which were
somehow transported
111
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:05,699
from 120 miles away.
112
00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:09,703
It's an astonishing feat
of ancient engineering,
113
00:06:09,703 --> 00:06:13,331
and the mysteries about
its construction still remain.
114
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:17,210
NEWMAN:
Some of the stones at Stonehenge
115
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:19,504
weigh between 50 and 70 tons.
116
00:06:19,504 --> 00:06:21,590
Some of the stones are
even heavier.
117
00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:23,675
So how could you
have moved these into place?
118
00:06:23,675 --> 00:06:25,510
How could you have moved them
from Wales,
119
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:28,138
where the bluestones,
the spotted dolerite, came from,
120
00:06:28,138 --> 00:06:29,431
within Stonehenge?
121
00:06:30,682 --> 00:06:32,434
PHILLIPS:
The bluestones,
122
00:06:32,434 --> 00:06:35,687
from which the original
Stonehenge was constructed,
123
00:06:35,687 --> 00:06:40,692
were transported from
120 miles to the west
124
00:06:40,692 --> 00:06:44,654
from a place called
the Preseli Mountains,
125
00:06:44,654 --> 00:06:46,531
which is the only place
in the British Isles
126
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:48,325
where you can get
that kind of stone.
127
00:06:48,325 --> 00:06:52,537
Now, how they were moved
is a mystery.
128
00:06:53,997 --> 00:06:55,957
NARRATOR:
The predominant theory
129
00:06:55,957 --> 00:06:59,336
as to how the megalithic blocks
were moved is that the builders
130
00:06:59,336 --> 00:07:02,380
fashioned sledges and rollers
out of tree trunks
131
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:06,217
to lug the bluestones
from the Preseli Hills,
132
00:07:06,217 --> 00:07:07,927
then transferred them onto rafts
133
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:10,430
and floated them
first along the Welsh coast
134
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:14,267
and then up the River Avon
towards Salisbury Plain.
135
00:07:15,477 --> 00:07:17,103
TSOUKALOS:
You know, this idea
136
00:07:17,103 --> 00:07:19,147
that all these ancient blocks
were moved
137
00:07:19,147 --> 00:07:21,316
with, uh, wooden rollers is...
138
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:23,401
is very interesting.
139
00:07:23,401 --> 00:07:25,570
However, do you know
what happens to wood
140
00:07:25,570 --> 00:07:28,907
when you put 20 tons
on a wooden roller?
141
00:07:28,907 --> 00:07:31,076
It'll just get crushed
to smithereens.
142
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:33,870
PHILLIPS:
However they did it,
143
00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:35,872
it must have been
very important for them
144
00:07:35,872 --> 00:07:37,874
to move these particular stones
to Stonehenge.
145
00:07:37,874 --> 00:07:39,167
And that's a mystery.
146
00:07:39,167 --> 00:07:41,461
That doesn't happen
anywhere else
147
00:07:41,461 --> 00:07:43,380
at stone circles in the country.
148
00:07:43,380 --> 00:07:46,508
They only come from stone
that's quarried locally.
149
00:07:48,218 --> 00:07:50,303
NARRATOR:
However Stonehenge
was constructed,
150
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:53,348
it involved moving much more
than just the stone blocks
151
00:07:53,348 --> 00:07:55,558
that stand today.
152
00:07:55,558 --> 00:07:57,435
According to researchers,
153
00:07:57,435 --> 00:08:01,398
this is just 25%
of the original monument,
154
00:08:01,398 --> 00:08:03,692
the center of
a much larger structure
155
00:08:03,692 --> 00:08:07,612
that was surrounded
by multiple concentric circles
156
00:08:07,612 --> 00:08:11,616
constructed over a period
of more than a thousand years.
157
00:08:11,616 --> 00:08:13,868
MARTINEAU: So Stonehenge
is very interesting
158
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:17,205
in that it evolves
over a very long period of time.
159
00:08:17,205 --> 00:08:20,291
And the first thing
that goes up at Stonehenge
160
00:08:20,291 --> 00:08:22,377
is not there anymore.
161
00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:24,546
It's the 56 holes
162
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:27,257
that today are known
as the Aubrey Circle.
163
00:08:27,257 --> 00:08:30,885
It used to be filled with
the bluestones from Preseli.
164
00:08:30,885 --> 00:08:33,763
PHILLIPS:
Around the outside
of the stone circle
165
00:08:33,763 --> 00:08:36,349
is constructed
a ditch and embankment.
166
00:08:36,349 --> 00:08:39,769
This is the soâcalled
"henge" structure
167
00:08:39,769 --> 00:08:43,565
that stands around Stonehenge,
from where it gets its name.
168
00:08:43,565 --> 00:08:46,026
NARRATOR:
Many mainstream scholars
169
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:49,279
suggest that Stonehenge
was simply a place of worship
170
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:52,240
and a burial ground.
171
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,325
But why would
the ancient people of Britain
172
00:08:54,325 --> 00:08:56,327
have spent
more than a thousand years
173
00:08:56,327 --> 00:09:00,123
to build what amounts
to a church and a cemetery?
174
00:09:00,123 --> 00:09:02,417
NEWMAN:
And the big problem is
we don't really know
175
00:09:02,417 --> 00:09:03,918
who these people were.
176
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:06,296
We don't really know
where they come from.
177
00:09:06,296 --> 00:09:08,715
So we find similar structures
around the world
178
00:09:08,715 --> 00:09:11,301
that show incredible levels
of sophistication,
179
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:13,762
like the Pyramids of Giza
in Egypt,
180
00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:15,930
like Machu Picchu in Peru.
181
00:09:15,930 --> 00:09:18,391
So why not, in ancient Britain,
182
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:21,436
why not have a very advanced
civilization here?
183
00:09:23,313 --> 00:09:26,024
The fact that we now know
that Stonehenge was part
184
00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:28,818
of a much larger superstructure
185
00:09:28,818 --> 00:09:33,990
indicates to me that we've only
barely scratched the surface.
186
00:09:33,990 --> 00:09:36,367
What did it all mean?
187
00:09:37,577 --> 00:09:39,412
NARRATOR:
If the monolithic stones
188
00:09:39,412 --> 00:09:41,372
that comprise Stonehenge today
189
00:09:41,372 --> 00:09:43,625
are only merely
a partial skeleton
190
00:09:43,625 --> 00:09:46,461
of the original complex,
is it possible
191
00:09:46,461 --> 00:09:49,464
that it was among the most
sophisticated structures
192
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:51,424
of the ancient world?
193
00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:54,803
Perhaps the answers
to who built itââ
194
00:09:54,803 --> 00:09:58,348
and whyââ can be found
by examining similar structures
195
00:09:58,348 --> 00:10:00,892
found all over the world.
196
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,320
Each circle corresponds
NARRATOR:
Dr. William Stukeley,
197
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,281
a pioneer
in the field of archaeology,
198
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:18,743
begins the first
scientific survey of Stonehenge.
199
00:10:18,743 --> 00:10:23,331
He quickly notices that
its axis aligns with sunrise
200
00:10:23,331 --> 00:10:25,333
on the summer solstice.
201
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:30,755
Over the centuries, scientists
discover that Stonehenge
202
00:10:30,755 --> 00:10:34,801
also points to sunset
on the winter solstice
203
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:38,221
and contains dozens of other
astronomical alignments.
204
00:10:40,974 --> 00:10:43,643
NEWMAN: Stonehenge is
unlike any stone circle
205
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,228
anywhere on the planet.
206
00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:48,982
It's perfectly circular.
It has lintels above it.
207
00:10:48,982 --> 00:10:52,902
It's designed with
precisionâengineered carving
208
00:10:52,902 --> 00:10:55,321
and astronomical alignments.
209
00:10:57,073 --> 00:11:00,577
TSOUKALOS: In my opinion,
it is Stonehenge itself
210
00:11:00,577 --> 00:11:02,120
that is the message.
211
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,914
And one part of that message
is that Stonehenge
212
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:09,043
is a replica of
our solar system on Earth.
213
00:11:09,043 --> 00:11:13,173
Each circle corresponds
with one of our planets
214
00:11:13,173 --> 00:11:17,177
inside our solar system,
including Pluto.
215
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:21,014
So, now we have a structure
that's at least 4,000 years old,
216
00:11:21,014 --> 00:11:24,017
and our ancestors
knew about Pluto?
217
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:26,561
Without telescopes?
218
00:11:26,561 --> 00:11:29,731
Someone told them about Pluto
219
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:33,276
and all of our planets
in our solar system,
220
00:11:33,276 --> 00:11:37,322
and that is the message,
because in Neolithic time,
221
00:11:37,322 --> 00:11:41,159
there is no way
that they knew about this.
222
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:45,955
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the massive blocks
223
00:11:45,955 --> 00:11:48,082
still standing at Stonehenge
224
00:11:48,082 --> 00:11:50,710
were purposely arranged
to reflect the positions
225
00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:53,963
of the planets
in our solar system?
226
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:57,926
And if so, could this
astronomical knowledge
227
00:11:57,926 --> 00:12:02,597
have been imparted to our
ancestors by extraterrestrials?
228
00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:05,850
While Stonehenge
is the most extraordinary
229
00:12:05,850 --> 00:12:07,852
stone circle in England,
230
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:12,649
in the 1970s, Scottish
cartographer Alexander Thom
231
00:12:12,649 --> 00:12:16,986
found that all the famed
stone circles across the U. K.
232
00:12:16,986 --> 00:12:19,530
have sophisticated designs
that track the movements
233
00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:21,908
of planets and constellations.
234
00:12:23,117 --> 00:12:25,245
NEWMAN:
Alexander Thom surveyed
235
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:28,331
over 300 stone circles
in Britain.
236
00:12:28,331 --> 00:12:30,333
And he came up
with this principle
237
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:34,003
that they used advanced geometry
in the construction,
238
00:12:34,003 --> 00:12:38,424
which was connected
with very advanced astronomy.
239
00:12:40,426 --> 00:12:43,429
NARRATOR:
Over time,
archaeologists began to find
240
00:12:43,429 --> 00:12:45,807
that ancient megalithic sites
all over the planet
241
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:49,602
were built to align
with the sun.
242
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:51,688
In Macedonia,
243
00:12:51,688 --> 00:12:55,066
the Kokino Observatory
features four stone thrones
244
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:56,651
at the top of a mountain
245
00:12:56,651 --> 00:12:59,904
positioned to track
the solstices and equinoxes.
246
00:13:01,364 --> 00:13:04,284
In Machu Picchu,
there is a stone temple
247
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:06,244
with three trapezoidal windows
248
00:13:06,244 --> 00:13:08,621
also positioned
to align with the sun
249
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:11,040
during the solstices
and equinoxes.
250
00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:15,128
On the northwest coast
of France,
251
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:18,172
a collection
of over 3,000 massive rocks,
252
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:20,091
called the "Carnac stones,"
253
00:13:20,091 --> 00:13:24,679
align with both the summer
and winter solstices.
254
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,307
And some of the sites
where these solar alignments
255
00:13:27,307 --> 00:13:31,728
are found include stone circles
similar to Stonehenge.
256
00:13:34,439 --> 00:13:36,733
The entrance
to the Temple of Mnajdra
257
00:13:36,733 --> 00:13:39,152
on the Mediterranean island
of Malta
258
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:42,655
is aligned to mark both
the solstices and equinoxes.
259
00:13:44,198 --> 00:13:46,200
NEWMAN:
In ancient Malta, going back
260
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,411
potentially to 3,000,
261
00:13:48,411 --> 00:13:51,289
to 4,000 B. C.
or even much older,
262
00:13:51,289 --> 00:13:52,957
they also were observing
263
00:13:52,957 --> 00:13:55,209
multiple
different constellations,
264
00:13:55,209 --> 00:13:57,295
including Taurus and others.
265
00:13:58,963 --> 00:14:02,383
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
266
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:04,969
the most significant
of all the ancient sites
267
00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:07,180
that contain
astronomical alignments
268
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:09,807
is also the oldest.
269
00:14:18,775 --> 00:14:22,111
German archaeologist
Klaus Schmidt begins
270
00:14:22,111 --> 00:14:24,989
a major excavation
at Gobekli Tepe.
271
00:14:24,989 --> 00:14:27,742
This prehistoric site
was believed
272
00:14:27,742 --> 00:14:30,745
to contain a standard
Romanâera cemetery.
273
00:14:30,745 --> 00:14:34,082
But what Schmidt actually
discovered would revolutionize
274
00:14:34,082 --> 00:14:36,834
our view of the ancient world.
275
00:14:36,834 --> 00:14:39,879
TSOUKALOS:
Gobekli Tepe is one
of the most fascinating stories
276
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,757
that we have in archaeology
in recent times.
277
00:14:43,966 --> 00:14:46,803
It is the first documented
278
00:14:46,803 --> 00:14:50,389
and confirmed archaeological
site in the world
279
00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:54,685
that proves its age dating
as far back
280
00:14:54,685 --> 00:14:56,896
as 10,000 BC.
281
00:14:58,773 --> 00:15:02,360
NEWMAN:
Gobekli Tepe is the oldest known
stone circle complex.
282
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,239
It dates to nearly
12,000 years old,
283
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:10,535
and it stands out as one of the
most unique sites on the planet.
284
00:15:10,535 --> 00:15:13,955
It really shouldn't be there
at this date.
285
00:15:13,955 --> 00:15:16,457
It wasn't
for many thousands of years
286
00:15:16,457 --> 00:15:19,418
that Stonehenge was built.
287
00:15:19,418 --> 00:15:22,797
ANDREW COLLINS: Stonehenge
in Britain was constructed
288
00:15:22,797 --> 00:15:26,676
around 3000 BC, but
289
00:15:26,676 --> 00:15:30,388
as much as 6,000 years earlier
290
00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:32,640
in southeast Turkey,
291
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,768
Gobekli Tepe was built
292
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:41,107
by a very early form
of Neolithic people.
293
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:44,402
And here you have a series
294
00:15:44,402 --> 00:15:47,196
of circular monuments,
295
00:15:47,196 --> 00:15:50,491
each made of Tâshaped pillars,
296
00:15:50,491 --> 00:15:53,619
like spokes of a wheel
radiating out
297
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:55,454
from a central spot
298
00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:59,292
where there are
two huge monoliths
299
00:15:59,292 --> 00:16:03,129
as much
as 18 and a half feet tall.
300
00:16:05,423 --> 00:16:08,342
NARRATOR:
According to mainstream
archaeologists,
301
00:16:08,342 --> 00:16:11,012
one of the reasons
that Gobekli Tepe has survived
302
00:16:11,012 --> 00:16:15,141
in such remarkable condition
for more than 10,000 years
303
00:16:15,141 --> 00:16:18,186
is because
it was deliberately buried.
304
00:16:18,186 --> 00:16:19,854
But why?
305
00:16:19,854 --> 00:16:21,772
Was it to protect it
306
00:16:21,772 --> 00:16:24,525
from some catastrophic event?
307
00:16:24,525 --> 00:16:28,196
Or was it to hide what ancient
astronaut theorists consider
308
00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:31,324
the structure's
otherworldly origins?
309
00:16:31,324 --> 00:16:35,745
Perhaps the answer can be found
by a further examination
310
00:16:35,745 --> 00:16:39,165
of not only
who may have built Gobekli Tepe,
311
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:41,834
but why.
312
00:16:46,380 --> 00:16:49,175
weighing up to ten tons,
HENRY:
We look around at templestons
313
00:16:49,175 --> 00:16:52,094
sophisticated carvings,
314
00:16:52,094 --> 00:16:56,182
and even signs
of hieroglyphic writing...
315
00:16:56,182 --> 00:16:59,435
experts say Gobekli Tepe
could only have been built
316
00:16:59,435 --> 00:17:01,604
by an advanced civilization.
317
00:17:01,604 --> 00:17:05,858
But according
to mainstream historians,
318
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:09,028
the world's first
true civilizationââ
319
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,197
the Sumeriansââ did not arise
320
00:17:11,197 --> 00:17:15,743
until thousands of years
after Gobekli Tepe was built.
321
00:17:15,743 --> 00:17:18,663
BILL BIRNES:
What we know about Gobekli Tepe
322
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:20,289
is that the Sumerians
323
00:17:20,289 --> 00:17:22,833
said, "Oh, they were built
by the ancients."
324
00:17:22,833 --> 00:17:26,921
Who were the ancients that were
here before the Sumerians?
325
00:17:26,921 --> 00:17:32,343
So, we actually have
geological artifacts
326
00:17:32,343 --> 00:17:34,679
that point us to a civilization
327
00:17:34,679 --> 00:17:37,098
before civilization.
328
00:17:37,098 --> 00:17:40,810
NARRATOR:
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
329
00:17:40,810 --> 00:17:43,646
Gobekli Tepe provides evidence
330
00:17:43,646 --> 00:17:46,315
that a highlyâadvanced
civilization flourished
331
00:17:46,315 --> 00:17:48,609
long before the Sumerians.
332
00:17:48,609 --> 00:17:51,654
And they suggest
that a written record
333
00:17:51,654 --> 00:17:55,366
of this civilization can be
found in the Book of Enoch
334
00:17:55,366 --> 00:17:58,327
and its mysterious tale
of the Watchers.
335
00:17:59,662 --> 00:18:01,581
HENRY:
According to the Book of Enoch,
336
00:18:01,581 --> 00:18:03,416
there was an ancient race
of giants
337
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:05,167
who descended to the Earth.
338
00:18:05,167 --> 00:18:08,671
They brought technology with
them and shared it with humans.
339
00:18:08,671 --> 00:18:12,383
They were called the Anunnaki,
340
00:18:12,383 --> 00:18:14,427
also known as the Watchers,
341
00:18:14,427 --> 00:18:18,264
extraterrestrial beings
who lived near Gobekli Tepe.
342
00:18:20,266 --> 00:18:22,059
TSOUKALOS:
In the Old Testament,
343
00:18:22,059 --> 00:18:24,770
there are quite a few passages
that speak
344
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:28,482
of when the sons of God
encountered the women of Earth.
345
00:18:28,482 --> 00:18:30,484
They thought of them
quite beautiful.
346
00:18:30,484 --> 00:18:33,487
And so they mated with them,
347
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:37,158
and the offspring were
the soâcalled giants.
348
00:18:37,158 --> 00:18:39,368
NARRATOR
According to the Book of Enoch,
349
00:18:39,368 --> 00:18:43,414
these hybrid offspring were
giants called the Nephilim.
350
00:18:43,414 --> 00:18:46,626
They built a glittering
highâtech civilization.
351
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:47,918
(thunder crashing)
352
00:18:47,918 --> 00:18:50,546
But God considered them
an abomination
353
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:55,343
and sent a great flood
to wipe them out.
354
00:18:55,343 --> 00:18:57,136
HENRY:
Going back 5,000 years,
355
00:18:57,136 --> 00:19:00,181
we have sacred texts
that tell us
356
00:19:00,181 --> 00:19:03,309
there was
an antediluvian civilization.
357
00:19:06,354 --> 00:19:08,981
There was a great flood
and that there were survivors.
358
00:19:08,981 --> 00:19:11,734
The Mesopotamians speak of this
in
The Epic of Gilgamesh,
359
00:19:11,734 --> 00:19:15,988
the Egyptians speak of this
in the Edfu creation texts.
360
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,366
We look around at temples
and other constructions
361
00:19:18,366 --> 00:19:20,910
that suddenly blossomed
as if out of thin air.
362
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:22,411
We're asked to believe
363
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:25,331
that suddenly
humanity learned the skills
364
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:27,583
for building
these magnificent monuments
365
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:29,502
that we can't even duplicate
today.
366
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:31,128
It doesn't make sense,
367
00:19:31,128 --> 00:19:33,839
unless there was some
preâflood teacher indeed
368
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:35,841
that taught us how to do this.
369
00:19:37,176 --> 00:19:39,178
According to some traditions,
370
00:19:39,178 --> 00:19:41,514
some of the Nephilim
survived the flood.
371
00:19:41,514 --> 00:19:45,059
These hybrid children
of the Anunnaki still knew
372
00:19:45,059 --> 00:19:46,769
how to build
megalithic monuments
373
00:19:46,769 --> 00:19:49,689
aligned with the stars,
and that's what they did.
374
00:19:49,689 --> 00:19:53,818
NARRATOR:
Tradition has it
that after surviving the flood
375
00:19:53,818 --> 00:19:56,362
and building Gobekli Tepe
in Turkey,
376
00:19:56,362 --> 00:19:58,572
the Nephilim began to migrate.
377
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:01,117
And each place they went,
378
00:20:01,117 --> 00:20:04,453
they left stone circles
in their wake.
379
00:20:04,453 --> 00:20:06,539
COLLINS:
After Gobekli Tepe,
380
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:11,210
there are other stone circles
before we get to Stonehenge.
381
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,963
For instance, at Karahunj
382
00:20:13,963 --> 00:20:18,092
in Armenia,
there is a massive series
383
00:20:18,092 --> 00:20:21,762
of megalithic constructions
and circles
384
00:20:21,762 --> 00:20:27,184
which have been dated
to approximately 5500 BC,
385
00:20:27,184 --> 00:20:30,438
according
to the astronomical alignments.
386
00:20:30,438 --> 00:20:33,566
Other sites
that are of extreme age include
387
00:20:33,566 --> 00:20:35,609
Cromlech Almendres in Portugal.
388
00:20:35,609 --> 00:20:39,905
This dates back
to around 6,000 years.
389
00:20:43,367 --> 00:20:45,286
NARRATOR:
If the Nephilim were responsible
390
00:20:45,286 --> 00:20:49,707
for all these stone circles,
is it possible that these giants
391
00:20:49,707 --> 00:20:52,918
ultimately found refuge
in the British Isles
392
00:20:52,918 --> 00:20:55,296
and built Stonehenge?
393
00:20:55,296 --> 00:20:58,549
Many believe that supporting
evidence is found
394
00:20:58,549 --> 00:21:03,387
in a 12th century book by Welsh
cleric Geoffrey of Monmouth,
395
00:21:03,387 --> 00:21:05,681
The History of the Kings
of Britain.
396
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:10,019
It states that Stonehenge was
erected by giants in Ireland,
397
00:21:10,019 --> 00:21:12,438
then transported
to its current site
398
00:21:12,438 --> 00:21:14,774
by the famed magician Merlin.
399
00:21:14,774 --> 00:21:17,401
JONATHAN YOUNG: The story
has it, the king wanted
400
00:21:17,401 --> 00:21:19,403
to honor the dead
from a great battle,
401
00:21:19,403 --> 00:21:21,947
and he wanted
a particular monument
402
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:23,532
the giants had built in Ireland.
403
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:25,284
It was Stonehenge.
404
00:21:25,284 --> 00:21:28,454
He sent Merlin
to get this thing.
405
00:21:28,454 --> 00:21:31,540
Merlin used magic
to move it to Somerset.
406
00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:34,752
This is how it got
to where it presently is.
407
00:21:34,752 --> 00:21:36,420
NEWMAN:
And somehow he did this.
408
00:21:36,420 --> 00:21:39,048
Whether it was magic,
we really don't know.
409
00:21:39,048 --> 00:21:41,050
But we do know
that there are traditions
410
00:21:41,050 --> 00:21:43,219
of giants moving stones.
411
00:21:43,219 --> 00:21:45,054
CHILDRESS:
We have to ask ourselves,
412
00:21:45,054 --> 00:21:47,014
is it possible
that the Nephilim,
413
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:49,183
as descendants of the Anunnaki,
414
00:21:49,183 --> 00:21:51,519
were the actual builders
of Stonehenge
415
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:54,438
and other megaliths
in Great Britain?
416
00:21:54,438 --> 00:21:57,650
And, in fact, uh, that
may well have been the case.
417
00:21:57,650 --> 00:22:00,402
NARRATOR:
To further support the notion
418
00:22:00,402 --> 00:22:03,864
that the Anunnaki
not only built Stonehenge
419
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:08,744
but also other megalithic
stone circles like Gobekli Tepe,
420
00:22:08,744 --> 00:22:14,124
ancient astronaut theorists
point to a curious legend
421
00:22:14,124 --> 00:22:19,380
concerning a tribe known
as the Tuatha DĂ© Danann.
422
00:22:19,380 --> 00:22:21,715
TOK THOMPSON:
The Tuatha DĂ© Danann
423
00:22:21,715 --> 00:22:24,885
are probably
the most important tribe
424
00:22:24,885 --> 00:22:26,720
or figures or group of peopleââ
425
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,057
if they are peopleââ uh,
that show up in Irish mythology.
426
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:34,061
The Tuatha DĂ© Danann
were special.
427
00:22:35,479 --> 00:22:37,982
CHILDRESS:
The Tuatha DĂ© Danann were tall.
428
00:22:37,982 --> 00:22:41,986
They had red hair
and blue or green eyes.
429
00:22:41,986 --> 00:22:44,071
They had magical powers.
430
00:22:45,322 --> 00:22:48,492
NEWMAN:
They had very advanced weaponry
431
00:22:48,492 --> 00:22:51,120
and different types of
what sounds like machinery.
432
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,707
But also they taught
the high arts of civilization
433
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:57,960
and they were said to be
almost like the Shining Ones
434
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,129
of the biblical tradition.
435
00:23:00,129 --> 00:23:02,131
NARRATOR:
Could it be
436
00:23:02,131 --> 00:23:04,758
that the Tuatha DĂ© Danann
were the descendants
437
00:23:04,758 --> 00:23:07,344
of the otherworldly beings
described
438
00:23:07,344 --> 00:23:10,973
in the Sumerian tradition
as the Anunnaki?
439
00:23:10,973 --> 00:23:13,726
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes.
440
00:23:13,726 --> 00:23:15,144
And as evidence,
441
00:23:15,144 --> 00:23:18,022
they point
to a curious historic fact.
442
00:23:18,022 --> 00:23:21,108
The Tuatha DĂ© Danann,
or tribe of Danann,
443
00:23:21,108 --> 00:23:23,527
originally had a different name,
444
00:23:23,527 --> 00:23:25,571
the Tuatha DĂ© Anu.
445
00:23:25,571 --> 00:23:29,909
CHILDRESS:
The name means
"the tribe of Anu."
446
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:33,579
And Anu here is the Anunnaki.
447
00:23:33,579 --> 00:23:36,248
It's this mysterious people
448
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:39,084
who are talked about
in Sumerian texts.
449
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:41,670
So, here we now have
a connection
450
00:23:41,670 --> 00:23:43,255
with the Tuatha DĂ© Danann
451
00:23:43,255 --> 00:23:47,176
with the Anunnaki
of ancient Sumeria.
452
00:23:47,176 --> 00:23:49,678
NARRATOR:
Did these Anunnaki descendants
453
00:23:49,678 --> 00:23:51,931
really migrate
to the British Isles
454
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:54,391
and ultimately build Stonehenge?
455
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:57,478
And if so,
could this shed light
456
00:23:57,478 --> 00:24:01,315
on the mystery of not only who
built Stonehenge but why?
457
00:24:01,315 --> 00:24:04,568
Perhaps further clues
can be found
458
00:24:04,568 --> 00:24:07,196
by examining
a startling new genetic study
459
00:24:07,196 --> 00:24:09,865
that indicates that,
460
00:24:09,865 --> 00:24:11,825
almost immediately after
Stonehenge was built,
461
00:24:11,825 --> 00:24:13,577
its builders
462
00:24:13,577 --> 00:24:17,164
mysteriously vanished
from the Earth.
463
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,676
NARRATOR:
In a groundbreaking
So the pgenetic studylt this,
464
00:24:28,676 --> 00:24:30,928
published in the journal
Nature,
465
00:24:30,928 --> 00:24:34,098
Harvard researchers announce
a stunning discovery
466
00:24:34,098 --> 00:24:36,392
about ancient human DNA.
467
00:24:36,392 --> 00:24:38,978
It reveals that,
468
00:24:38,978 --> 00:24:41,397
immediately after Stonehenge
was built,
469
00:24:41,397 --> 00:24:42,815
the people who built it,
470
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:44,817
the ancient inhabitants
of Britain,
471
00:24:44,817 --> 00:24:49,154
suddenly and almost totally
vanished from the British Isles.
472
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:52,074
They left behind
virtually no DNA
473
00:24:52,074 --> 00:24:55,119
in the modern
British population.
474
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:58,163
What the 2018 study suggests
475
00:24:58,163 --> 00:25:01,333
is that the genetic signature
of the Neolithic inhabitants
476
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:02,626
of the British Isles,
477
00:25:02,626 --> 00:25:06,547
it vanishes
shortly after the period
478
00:25:06,547 --> 00:25:09,466
in which they build Stonehenge
and is largely replaced
479
00:25:09,466 --> 00:25:11,552
by an entirely new human culture
480
00:25:11,552 --> 00:25:13,303
in a very short amount of time.
481
00:25:13,303 --> 00:25:16,557
HENRY: The Harvard study is
an absolute bombshell.
482
00:25:16,557 --> 00:25:21,395
An entire civilization
just disappears without a trace,
483
00:25:21,395 --> 00:25:23,439
vanishes into thin air?
484
00:25:23,439 --> 00:25:27,609
It's easily the most surprising
and most shocking conclusion
485
00:25:27,609 --> 00:25:29,028
you can imagine.
486
00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:31,030
NARRATOR:
The study used
487
00:25:31,030 --> 00:25:33,282
a revolutionary new technique
488
00:25:33,282 --> 00:25:36,326
that samples DNA
from ancient human bones
489
00:25:36,326 --> 00:25:38,662
and then compares it to the DNA
490
00:25:38,662 --> 00:25:41,248
of modern people
in the same place.
491
00:25:41,248 --> 00:25:43,917
Scientists then determine
492
00:25:43,917 --> 00:25:46,420
what percentage
of the modern population
493
00:25:46,420 --> 00:25:49,173
is descended
from the ancient group.
494
00:25:49,173 --> 00:25:52,426
So, the new genetic data
are really providing
495
00:25:52,426 --> 00:25:55,179
an example
of population replacement,
496
00:25:55,179 --> 00:26:00,184
in which the genetic markers
that characterize one population
497
00:26:00,184 --> 00:26:04,521
is almost entirely replaced in a
relatively short amount of time
498
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:07,274
by the genetic signature that
characterizes another population
499
00:26:07,274 --> 00:26:08,734
from a different part
of the world.
500
00:26:08,734 --> 00:26:11,487
NARRATOR:
The strange disappearance
501
00:26:11,487 --> 00:26:13,072
of the Stonehenge builders
502
00:26:13,072 --> 00:26:16,158
remains
a profound historical mystery.
503
00:26:16,158 --> 00:26:20,037
But historians had long known
that around 2500 BC,
504
00:26:20,037 --> 00:26:22,539
just after Stonehenge was built,
505
00:26:22,539 --> 00:26:25,542
a new group
entered the British Isles.
506
00:26:25,542 --> 00:26:28,128
The soâcalled Beaker people
are named
507
00:26:28,128 --> 00:26:30,422
for their distinctive
clay pottery
508
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:33,675
and are believed to be
the ancestors of the Celts.
509
00:26:33,675 --> 00:26:36,386
CHILDRESS:
You might think that
510
00:26:36,386 --> 00:26:40,015
when the original population
of Britain suddenly left
511
00:26:40,015 --> 00:26:43,310
these stone monuments,
512
00:26:43,310 --> 00:26:45,979
that the newcomers
would maybe just let them
513
00:26:45,979 --> 00:26:50,484
go back to nature and
ultimately justâjust fall down
514
00:26:50,484 --> 00:26:53,320
and be destroyed, uh, over time.
515
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,988
But that's not what happened.
516
00:26:54,988 --> 00:26:58,242
And so it would seem
that these newcomers
517
00:26:58,242 --> 00:27:01,161
realized
that these places had power.
518
00:27:01,161 --> 00:27:03,789
There was an energy associated
with them.
519
00:27:03,789 --> 00:27:06,458
Something important.
520
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:15,759
NARRATOR:
The Orkney Islands, Scotland.
521
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:18,470
2019.
522
00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:21,557
Ancient astronaut theorist
Andrew Collins
523
00:27:21,557 --> 00:27:23,976
and author Graham Phillips
524
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:26,395
have come to these islands
to investigate
525
00:27:26,395 --> 00:27:30,357
the mysterious disappearance of
the people who built Stonehenge.
526
00:27:30,357 --> 00:27:34,027
Dating back to 3200 BC,
527
00:27:34,027 --> 00:27:38,031
Skara Brae was buried in sand
for thousands of years
528
00:27:38,031 --> 00:27:42,244
until a great storm
uncovered it in 1850.
529
00:27:42,244 --> 00:27:45,247
Now known
as the Scottish Pompeii,
530
00:27:45,247 --> 00:27:47,082
it was home to the people
531
00:27:47,082 --> 00:27:49,751
who began Britain's
stone circle building boom,
532
00:27:49,751 --> 00:27:51,753
ultimately built Stonehenge,
533
00:27:51,753 --> 00:27:56,174
and then mysteriously vanished
from the genetic record.
534
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:59,511
Right. Site's over here.
535
00:27:59,511 --> 00:28:01,096
Well, it's quite amazing
536
00:28:01,096 --> 00:28:03,515
that this place
was completely covered
537
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:05,058
with sand,
538
00:28:05,058 --> 00:28:07,811
uh, until they refound it
in the 19th century.
539
00:28:07,811 --> 00:28:10,522
The people who built
the first stone circle
540
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:13,358
a couple of miles from here
lived here.
541
00:28:13,358 --> 00:28:15,944
Yeah. Just look at this place.
542
00:28:15,944 --> 00:28:18,822
I mean, it's just extraordinary.
543
00:28:18,822 --> 00:28:20,240
PHILLIPS:
It's pretty sophisticated.
544
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:21,825
I mean, these walls here
545
00:28:21,825 --> 00:28:25,162
are really quite advanced
for 5,000 years ago,
546
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:27,831
when everybody else
in the country was living in,
547
00:28:27,831 --> 00:28:29,666
well, mud huts, basically.
548
00:28:29,666 --> 00:28:32,711
I know. Andâand the incredible
thing about this is
549
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:35,631
the descendants of these people
end up creating
550
00:28:35,631 --> 00:28:38,467
all of the stone circles
around Britain.
551
00:28:38,467 --> 00:28:40,260
How do you think this started?
552
00:28:40,260 --> 00:28:44,056
IâI think something was changing
in the minds of these people.
553
00:28:44,056 --> 00:28:45,474
But, you know,
the bigger question is,
554
00:28:45,474 --> 00:28:47,476
what were they doing here?
555
00:28:47,476 --> 00:28:51,146
NARRATOR:
Experts believe that
the descendants of Skara Brae
556
00:28:51,146 --> 00:28:53,774
began building
the great stone circles
557
00:28:53,774 --> 00:28:56,193
that ultimately led
to Stonehenge.
558
00:28:56,193 --> 00:28:59,279
To see the first
of these mighty circles,
559
00:28:59,279 --> 00:29:03,200
Andrew and Graham
travel six miles south.
560
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,203
So, we're going now
to the Stones of Stenness,
561
00:29:06,203 --> 00:29:10,040
which is the first stone circle,
that we know of,
562
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,918
built anywhere
in the British Isles.
563
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,547
It originally consisted of
564
00:29:17,547 --> 00:29:19,800
12 stones in a circle
565
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,553
around 100 feet in diameter,
566
00:29:23,553 --> 00:29:27,057
and the stones
are up to 16 feet high.
567
00:29:28,308 --> 00:29:30,644
COLLINS:
What's so incredible
568
00:29:30,644 --> 00:29:34,064
is that this first stone circle
in Britain
569
00:29:34,064 --> 00:29:35,941
has a relationship
570
00:29:35,941 --> 00:29:40,779
with Gobekli Tepe
in southeast Turkey, whichââ
571
00:29:40,779 --> 00:29:43,365
because the Stones of Stenness
572
00:29:43,365 --> 00:29:45,117
is aligned to the stars.
573
00:29:45,117 --> 00:29:46,994
To the south,
574
00:29:46,994 --> 00:29:50,414
it's the rising
of the stars of Orion.
575
00:29:50,414 --> 00:29:52,416
And to the north,
576
00:29:52,416 --> 00:29:56,545
it is the setting
of the stars of Cygnus.
577
00:29:56,545 --> 00:30:00,132
And the very same constellations
feature
578
00:30:00,132 --> 00:30:03,135
within astronomical alignments
at Gobekli Tepe,
579
00:30:03,135 --> 00:30:06,430
thousands of miles away.
580
00:30:09,433 --> 00:30:11,601
NARRATOR:
If the Stones of Stenness,
581
00:30:11,601 --> 00:30:14,187
like Gobekli Tepe, Stonehenge,
582
00:30:14,187 --> 00:30:16,398
and other megalithic structures,
583
00:30:16,398 --> 00:30:19,735
was constructed in such a way
as to be in alignment
584
00:30:19,735 --> 00:30:23,071
with astronomical events, why?
585
00:30:23,071 --> 00:30:26,908
Was it to merely function
as a type of calendar,
586
00:30:26,908 --> 00:30:30,537
indicating when to plant crops
or perform rituals?
587
00:30:31,997 --> 00:30:35,000
Or were these structures
oriented to the stars
588
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,835
for a far more profound
589
00:30:36,835 --> 00:30:40,547
or perhaps extraterrestrial
purpose?
590
00:30:41,923 --> 00:30:45,010
It is true
thatâthat Stonehenge can be used
591
00:30:45,010 --> 00:30:47,262
or was used as a calendar.
592
00:30:47,262 --> 00:30:49,139
There is no doubt about it.
593
00:30:49,139 --> 00:30:53,143
However,
in order to create a calendar,
594
00:30:53,143 --> 00:30:56,354
there was absolutely zero need
595
00:30:56,354 --> 00:31:01,443
to build a megalithic structure
as gigantic as Stonehenge.
596
00:31:01,443 --> 00:31:04,696
'Cause you could have recreated
the entire same thing
597
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:09,910
by, essentially, placing
ordinary sticks in the ground.
598
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:12,370
That was not the case.
599
00:31:12,370 --> 00:31:14,581
So what was it?
600
00:31:14,581 --> 00:31:18,585
POPE:
There is a knowledge
and purpose here,
601
00:31:18,585 --> 00:31:20,796
and it'sâit's sophisticated.
602
00:31:20,796 --> 00:31:24,633
Were ceremonies and rituals
603
00:31:24,633 --> 00:31:27,469
conducted there that
actually achieved something?
604
00:31:27,469 --> 00:31:30,430
In other words,
is, in one sense,
605
00:31:30,430 --> 00:31:34,059
Stonehenge a device, a machine?
606
00:31:34,059 --> 00:31:36,728
MARTINEAU:
This geometry is there
right from the beginning
607
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:38,605
of the stone circle building
608
00:31:38,605 --> 00:31:41,691
and the reason they were
choosing these shapes
609
00:31:41,691 --> 00:31:45,153
was something to do
with astronomy.
610
00:31:45,153 --> 00:31:48,657
And I think it's some kind
of interesting technology,
611
00:31:48,657 --> 00:31:51,201
ancient technology, um,
612
00:31:51,201 --> 00:31:53,370
whose origins are lost
in the mist of time.
613
00:31:54,412 --> 00:31:55,789
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
614
00:31:55,789 --> 00:31:57,791
that the builders
of ancient stone circles
615
00:31:57,791 --> 00:32:01,711
weren't constructing
giant celestial calendars,
616
00:32:01,711 --> 00:32:05,757
but, instead, were using the sun
and stars as guides
617
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:08,218
so that the giant stones
they were using
618
00:32:08,218 --> 00:32:10,220
could be precisely placed?
619
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:14,808
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
620
00:32:14,808 --> 00:32:17,811
the answer is a profound yes.
621
00:32:17,811 --> 00:32:22,274
And they believe the precise
astrological placements of these
622
00:32:22,274 --> 00:32:25,610
weren't intended
for ritual purposes,
623
00:32:25,610 --> 00:32:28,905
but for technological ones,
possibly as a means
624
00:32:28,905 --> 00:32:30,991
of conducting and generating
625
00:32:30,991 --> 00:32:33,994
a type of geoâelectrical energy.
626
00:32:35,412 --> 00:32:37,455
So the people who built this,
627
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:40,000
you think, were inspired
by the descendants
628
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,169
of those who built
Gobekli Tepe.
629
00:32:42,169 --> 00:32:43,587
I'm certain of it.
630
00:32:43,587 --> 00:32:46,506
But as we know,
631
00:32:46,506 --> 00:32:48,550
this is the beginning
632
00:32:48,550 --> 00:32:53,221
of something brandânew
that starts here
633
00:32:53,221 --> 00:32:58,351
on the Orkney mainland
and continues to Stonehenge.
634
00:32:58,351 --> 00:33:00,604
So what comes next?
635
00:33:02,772 --> 00:33:05,650
NARRATOR:
Just down the road
from the Stones of Stenness
636
00:33:05,650 --> 00:33:08,153
lies the Ring of Brodgar.
637
00:33:08,153 --> 00:33:12,115
The third largest stone circle
in the British Isles,
638
00:33:12,115 --> 00:33:16,369
it is a hotbed of UFO sightings
and activity.
639
00:33:16,369 --> 00:33:19,164
According to ancient astronaut
theorists,
640
00:33:19,164 --> 00:33:22,167
it could also hold the key
to solving the mystery
641
00:33:22,167 --> 00:33:24,836
of why the Stonehenge builders
suddenly
642
00:33:24,836 --> 00:33:29,507
and inexplicably... disappeared.
643
00:33:36,514 --> 00:33:38,725
POPE:
Were the ancients mimicking
644
00:33:38,725 --> 00:33:42,646
ancient astronaut theorist
Andrew Collins
645
00:33:42,646 --> 00:33:44,564
and author Graham Phillips
646
00:33:44,564 --> 00:33:46,274
are investigating stone circles
647
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:50,070
that are believed to be
even older than Stonehenge.
648
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:53,782
They have just arrived
at the Ring of Brodgar,
649
00:33:53,782 --> 00:33:56,952
which is not only
an important historical site
650
00:33:56,952 --> 00:34:00,247
but also a hot spot
for UFO sightings.
651
00:34:00,247 --> 00:34:04,584
PHILLIPS:
We're here
at the Ring of Brodgar.
652
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:06,419
It is a henge circle,
so all around
653
00:34:06,419 --> 00:34:09,422
the outside of it is
a ditch and embankment.
654
00:34:09,422 --> 00:34:13,718
COLLINS:
And one of the things
that's been repeatedly found
655
00:34:13,718 --> 00:34:16,471
in connection with stone circles
656
00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:19,724
is that there's a very special
geology associated
657
00:34:19,724 --> 00:34:22,143
with the landscape around them.
658
00:34:22,143 --> 00:34:26,231
And all of these seem to be able
659
00:34:26,231 --> 00:34:28,566
to manifest mysterious lights.
660
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:31,152
And they almost appear to act
661
00:34:31,152 --> 00:34:34,447
like windows onto another realm.
662
00:34:34,447 --> 00:34:37,117
Because as you get higher,
663
00:34:37,117 --> 00:34:40,829
you can see that the whole place
is like a perfect circle.
664
00:34:40,829 --> 00:34:44,124
A perfect hole
out of this reality
665
00:34:44,124 --> 00:34:46,626
into another realm all together.
666
00:34:46,626 --> 00:34:49,546
So this place here
could actually be
667
00:34:49,546 --> 00:34:53,550
some kind of portal
between this world and another?
668
00:34:53,550 --> 00:34:55,010
Precisely.
669
00:34:55,010 --> 00:34:57,095
But what's so incredible
670
00:34:57,095 --> 00:35:00,599
is that at virtually
every location
671
00:35:00,599 --> 00:35:04,144
that this megalithic culture
moved out
672
00:35:04,144 --> 00:35:07,147
is also somewhere associated
with the appearance
673
00:35:07,147 --> 00:35:11,026
of mysterious lights,
what we'd call UFOs.
674
00:35:11,026 --> 00:35:14,571
We're talking about Stonehenge,
675
00:35:14,571 --> 00:35:15,905
Avebury,
676
00:35:15,905 --> 00:35:18,658
the Isle of Anglesey in Wales,
677
00:35:18,658 --> 00:35:21,578
and the area
around the Rod Stone.
678
00:35:21,578 --> 00:35:23,747
All of these locations
679
00:35:23,747 --> 00:35:25,624
are what we would call portals,
680
00:35:25,624 --> 00:35:28,835
places where
mysterious lights appear
681
00:35:28,835 --> 00:35:31,630
and then disappear.
682
00:35:31,630 --> 00:35:34,966
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that ancient stone circles
683
00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:38,219
found throughout the world
were once used as portals
684
00:35:38,219 --> 00:35:40,472
to other parts
of the universe?
685
00:35:40,472 --> 00:35:44,059
And could this explain
why the builders of Stonehenge
686
00:35:44,059 --> 00:35:47,062
suddenly disappeared
from the DNA record,
687
00:35:47,062 --> 00:35:50,815
right after the structure is
believed to have been completed?
688
00:35:50,815 --> 00:35:54,778
While such a notion may sound
preposterous to some,
689
00:35:54,778 --> 00:35:56,988
ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
690
00:35:56,988 --> 00:36:00,200
that it is far from impossible.
691
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,578
NEWMAN: They realized
that these stone circles
692
00:36:03,578 --> 00:36:06,164
actually do manipulate
earth energies,
693
00:36:06,164 --> 00:36:09,000
these currents that are part
of the magnetic field.
694
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,878
CHILDRESS:
Archaeologists now
695
00:36:11,878 --> 00:36:14,964
are speculating
that the blue stones
696
00:36:14,964 --> 00:36:18,968
that are part
of the Stonehenge complex,
697
00:36:18,968 --> 00:36:23,848
they are a type
of blackâblue dolerite
698
00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:29,396
that has very bright nodes
of quartz in them.
699
00:36:31,106 --> 00:36:32,899
NARRATOR:
Quartz is able to convert
700
00:36:32,899 --> 00:36:35,485
the earth's natural
electrical vibrations
701
00:36:35,485 --> 00:36:37,237
into a form of energy.
702
00:36:37,237 --> 00:36:39,781
The amount of energy increases
703
00:36:39,781 --> 00:36:42,534
when the quartz
is under pressure,
704
00:36:42,534 --> 00:36:45,954
as it would be as part of a
massive monolithic structure
705
00:36:45,954 --> 00:36:48,039
like Stonehenge.
706
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:49,874
NEWMAN:
So you have electrical qualities
707
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:52,210
when the quartz
is kind of crushed
708
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:54,295
and then you have magnetic
qualities as well
709
00:36:54,295 --> 00:36:55,630
within the same stone.
710
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:57,132
So this could have been used
711
00:36:57,132 --> 00:37:01,261
to manipulate
earth energy currents.
712
00:37:01,261 --> 00:37:03,012
CHILDRESS:
Many of the stone circles
713
00:37:03,012 --> 00:37:06,015
have something to do with
astronomical alignments,
714
00:37:06,015 --> 00:37:09,227
and you have to wonder if
it's a way of calculating
715
00:37:09,227 --> 00:37:12,731
and having a calibration
that you can use
716
00:37:12,731 --> 00:37:15,650
to create a special portal area.
717
00:37:15,650 --> 00:37:18,236
It's got a special energy,
perhaps,
718
00:37:18,236 --> 00:37:20,321
that's being manipulated
719
00:37:20,321 --> 00:37:23,825
and created
by these megalithic structures.
720
00:37:23,825 --> 00:37:27,412
NARRATOR:
Did the builders of ancient
megalithic structures
721
00:37:27,412 --> 00:37:29,873
like Stonehenge
and Gobekli Tepe,
722
00:37:29,873 --> 00:37:32,041
use their advanced knowledge
723
00:37:32,041 --> 00:37:34,461
of the interconnectivity
between the Earthââ
724
00:37:34,461 --> 00:37:37,797
and the ability of precisely
placed megalithic stonesââ
725
00:37:37,797 --> 00:37:41,551
to generate energy
to create portals?
726
00:37:41,551 --> 00:37:44,095
And could this be
why they decided
727
00:37:44,095 --> 00:37:46,181
to quarry the rock
for Stonehenge
728
00:37:46,181 --> 00:37:49,184
from 120 miles away,
729
00:37:49,184 --> 00:37:52,145
because they needed
a particular type of rock
730
00:37:52,145 --> 00:37:54,522
with a particular
quartz concentration?
731
00:37:54,522 --> 00:37:57,734
If so,
could their incredible ability
732
00:37:57,734 --> 00:38:00,653
to create energy be
an indication
733
00:38:00,653 --> 00:38:04,073
that their origins might be
extraterrestrial?
734
00:38:04,073 --> 00:38:06,785
If the Nephilim were actually
735
00:38:06,785 --> 00:38:09,537
some sort
of extraterrestrial race
736
00:38:09,537 --> 00:38:13,458
with super high technology,
then maybe
737
00:38:13,458 --> 00:38:15,877
now all the highâtech stuff
is gone
738
00:38:15,877 --> 00:38:20,131
and all that's left
is this skeletal structure
739
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:21,883
that we call Stonehenge.
740
00:38:21,883 --> 00:38:24,761
NARRATOR:
If the builders of Stonehenge
741
00:38:24,761 --> 00:38:26,805
really did create a portal
742
00:38:26,805 --> 00:38:29,265
through which they returned
to the home planet
743
00:38:29,265 --> 00:38:31,601
of their extraterrestrial
ancestors,
744
00:38:31,601 --> 00:38:35,688
did that portal close
after they left?
745
00:38:35,688 --> 00:38:38,441
Or was the site stripped
of its power
746
00:38:38,441 --> 00:38:41,861
when the original structure
was deconstructed?
747
00:38:41,861 --> 00:38:44,823
Perhaps the answer can be found
748
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:47,408
by examining one of the
strangest events to occur
749
00:38:47,408 --> 00:38:49,911
at Stonehenge in modern times.
750
00:38:49,911 --> 00:38:53,832
An event that some believe
may contain a message
751
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:55,834
from another world.
752
00:39:01,965 --> 00:39:03,508
NARRATOR:
Wiltshire, England.
753
00:39:03,508 --> 00:39:06,302
July 1996.
754
00:39:06,302 --> 00:39:08,847
One of the most complex
755
00:39:08,847 --> 00:39:12,183
and spectacular crop circle
designs ever seen
756
00:39:12,183 --> 00:39:15,353
appears in a field
opposite Stonehenge.
757
00:39:15,353 --> 00:39:17,689
POPE:
The soâcalled Julia Set
758
00:39:17,689 --> 00:39:20,567
appeared right next
to Stonehenge.
759
00:39:20,567 --> 00:39:23,570
Now, the Julia Set
takes its name
760
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:28,408
from a fractal,
which is a mathematical shape.
761
00:39:28,408 --> 00:39:32,871
This was intricate, complex.
762
00:39:33,997 --> 00:39:36,124
There's an interesting story
763
00:39:36,124 --> 00:39:38,126
that apparently a taxi driver
764
00:39:38,126 --> 00:39:40,670
saw this formation
765
00:39:40,670 --> 00:39:44,215
just appearing suddenly,
magically,
766
00:39:44,215 --> 00:39:47,594
as if some unseen hidden force
767
00:39:47,594 --> 00:39:49,596
was making the pattern.
768
00:39:49,596 --> 00:39:52,682
Some people have said
that they were symbols
769
00:39:52,682 --> 00:39:55,602
that are meant
to convey information.
770
00:39:55,602 --> 00:39:58,313
And it's the conveying
of information
771
00:39:58,313 --> 00:40:00,940
that I think
is the important thing here.
772
00:40:00,940 --> 00:40:03,192
That really might be the key
773
00:40:03,192 --> 00:40:05,403
to unlocking the mystery here.
774
00:40:05,403 --> 00:40:09,073
NARRATOR:
Could it be that
the incredible crop formation
775
00:40:09,073 --> 00:40:11,534
that appeared next to Stonehenge
776
00:40:11,534 --> 00:40:14,662
was a message
from extraterrestrial visitors?
777
00:40:14,662 --> 00:40:18,416
If Stonehenge was built
as a portal to the stars,
778
00:40:18,416 --> 00:40:21,544
can this technology
be reactivated?
779
00:40:21,544 --> 00:40:25,006
And might the mathematical
information contained
780
00:40:25,006 --> 00:40:27,550
within the Julia Set
provide the key
781
00:40:27,550 --> 00:40:29,594
to reopening the portal?
782
00:40:31,387 --> 00:40:33,056
CHILDRESS:
When we look at Stonehenge,
783
00:40:33,056 --> 00:40:35,058
we have to wonder
about the energy there.
784
00:40:35,058 --> 00:40:39,687
So, early on, it becomes a site
where things are happening,
785
00:40:39,687 --> 00:40:42,523
extraterrestrials
are landing here perhaps.
786
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:46,110
But it all starts
with some activity early on
787
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:48,112
in this, in this special place.
788
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,408
People speculated
that the ancients
789
00:40:52,408 --> 00:40:56,245
were able to perceive power,
790
00:40:56,245 --> 00:40:59,707
Earth energies,
mysterious forces
791
00:40:59,707 --> 00:41:01,918
that perhaps modern humans
792
00:41:01,918 --> 00:41:04,629
have lost the ability
to perceive.
793
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:08,800
Maybe, the theory is, that we've
got smarter in other ways,
794
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,177
but we've lost
a certain something,
795
00:41:11,177 --> 00:41:13,096
the ability to perhaps tap into
796
00:41:13,096 --> 00:41:15,890
these ancient power sites.
797
00:41:19,519 --> 00:41:21,980
NARRATOR:
Does a megalithic stone circle
798
00:41:21,980 --> 00:41:25,191
standing alone
in the English countryside
799
00:41:25,191 --> 00:41:28,111
represent the remains of the
most sophisticated technology
800
00:41:28,111 --> 00:41:31,114
to ever exist on Earth?
801
00:41:31,114 --> 00:41:34,826
A technology which was part
of a vast global network
802
00:41:34,826 --> 00:41:37,453
of similar structures
that were not only capable
803
00:41:37,453 --> 00:41:40,373
of generating
vast amounts of energy,
804
00:41:40,373 --> 00:41:43,001
but also the means
by which alien visitors
805
00:41:43,001 --> 00:41:45,837
could both arrive and depart?
806
00:41:45,837 --> 00:41:48,673
Perhaps the stones
that still remain
807
00:41:48,673 --> 00:41:50,216
were deliberately left standing
808
00:41:50,216 --> 00:41:52,844
so that humankind
would one day restore
809
00:41:52,844 --> 00:41:54,512
this lost technology...
810
00:41:54,512 --> 00:41:56,889
reactivate it...
811
00:41:56,889 --> 00:42:00,643
and ultimately reunite
with the ancient builders
812
00:42:00,643 --> 00:42:03,396
who still exist...
813
00:42:03,396 --> 00:42:06,232
lightâyears away.
