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?

193 00:09:51,424 --> 00:09:54,803 Perhaps the answers to who built it‐‐ 194 00:09:54,803 --> 00:09:58,348 and why‐‐ 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 precision‐engineered 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 Roman‐era 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 T‐shaped 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 civilization‐‐ 319 00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:11,197 the Sumerians‐‐ 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 highly‐advanced 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 so‐called 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 high‐tech 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 pre‐flood 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 people‐‐ 425 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,057 if they are people‐‐ 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 so‐called 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 just‐just 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. And‐and 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 I‐I 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?

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 so‐called 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?
