1
00:00:04,109 --> 00:00:10,481
Ancient monuments deep under water...
A once-thriving metropolis now
2
00:00:10,516 --> 00:00:16,454
half a mile under the sea...
Lost cities submerged for
3
00:00:16,488 --> 00:00:22,460
thousands of years... All over the
world, there are sunken cities.
4
00:00:22,494 --> 00:00:27,632
There's more than 200 known sunken
cities in the Mediterranean alone.
5
00:00:27,666 --> 00:00:30,301
What we're looking at are the remains of
6
00:00:30,369 --> 00:00:34,639
cities at a time when mainstream
archeology tells us there were
7
00:00:34,673 --> 00:00:37,542
no cities, uh, anywhere in the world.
8
00:00:37,576 --> 00:00:41,078
Are underwater monuments
examples of mankind's
9
00:00:41,113 --> 00:00:42,813
earliest civilizations?
10
00:00:42,848 --> 00:00:50,254
Or is there evidence of skills far
beyond that of primitive man?
11
00:00:50,322 --> 00:00:52,790
And if so, where did it come from?
12
00:00:52,824 --> 00:00:56,427
The native legends are very clear... that
13
00:00:56,495 --> 00:01:01,232
something or someone landed,
and then, knowledge, all of a
14
00:01:01,266 --> 00:01:02,767
sudden, spread.
15
00:01:03,902 --> 00:01:09,073
There is many, many legends with
lights coming from under the water.
16
00:01:09,107 --> 00:01:12,076
You start to get the idea
that there's some kind
17
00:01:12,110 --> 00:01:18,049
of ancient alien underwater base...
Millions of people
18
00:01:18,116 --> 00:01:21,485
around the world believe we
have been visited in the past
19
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,554
by extraterrestrial beings.
20
00:01:23,589 --> 00:01:26,290
What if it were true?
21
00:01:26,325 --> 00:01:31,829
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
22
00:01:31,863 --> 00:01:37,368
If so, what evidence lies deep underwater?
23
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,000
# Ancient Aliens 2x03 #
Underwater Worlds
Original Air Date on November 11, 2010
24
00:02:06,698 --> 00:02:10,935
Covering more than 71% of
the planet, the Earth's
25
00:02:11,003 --> 00:02:15,439
oceans are a vast and
largely unexplored mystery.
26
00:02:15,474 --> 00:02:21,112
For most of recorded history,
man could only guess at what
27
00:02:21,146 --> 00:02:23,114
lay beneath the ocean's surface.
28
00:02:23,181 --> 00:02:27,485
But new technologies are
reaching new depths.
29
00:02:27,552 --> 00:02:31,656
Researchers around the world
are finding the unexpected...
30
00:02:31,723 --> 00:02:36,093
underwater complexes and
sophisticated monuments that
31
00:02:36,161 --> 00:02:40,197
defy the conventional historical record.
32
00:02:40,198 --> 00:02:46,103
There are remains of urban civilizations
33
00:02:46,171 --> 00:02:49,106
on parts of the Earth that were
34
00:02:49,174 --> 00:02:52,643
exposed on land 10,000 and more years ago.
35
00:02:55,049 --> 00:03:02,390
And this means that urban civilization
is far older by many thousands
36
00:03:02,391 --> 00:03:07,812
of years than many scientists
now believe possible.
37
00:03:08,193 --> 00:03:13,331
Scientific theory suggests
that during Earth's
38
00:03:13,398 --> 00:03:19,136
last Ice Age, ocean levels were once
much lower than they are today.
39
00:03:19,171 --> 00:03:22,239
You have to envisage a world
in which there are two
40
00:03:22,274 --> 00:03:27,411
mile-deep ice caps sitting on
top of northern Europe and
41
00:03:27,446 --> 00:03:33,284
North America, in which are accumulated
enormous quantities of water.
42
00:03:33,285 --> 00:03:38,522
And we know that this water began
to melt about 21,000 years
43
00:03:38,590 --> 00:03:44,161
ago, and finished melting
about 10,000 years ago.
44
00:03:44,196 --> 00:03:47,531
As a result, rich coastal
lands were slowly
45
00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,234
submerged by rising sea levels.
46
00:03:50,268 --> 00:03:55,706
Ten million square miles of land
was flooded all around the world.
47
00:03:55,774 --> 00:03:58,976
That's roughly the size
of Europe and China added
48
00:03:59,044 --> 00:04:02,780
together... were just
rubbed from the record.
49
00:04:02,781 --> 00:04:06,150
They just disappear from the story.
50
00:04:06,218 --> 00:04:09,420
And in my opinion, archeology
is not doing enough work to
51
00:04:09,488 --> 00:04:13,157
investigate those lost
and submerged lands.
52
00:04:13,225 --> 00:04:17,862
While much of the ocean's floor
remains unexplored, for thousands of
53
00:04:17,896 --> 00:04:21,499
years, philosophers and
scientists have been drawn to
54
00:04:21,566 --> 00:04:25,569
one of the greatest mysteries
of the sea, the legend of the
55
00:04:25,604 --> 00:04:27,571
lost city of Atlantis.
56
00:04:29,808 --> 00:04:33,744
It's been said that more books have been
57
00:04:33,779 --> 00:04:38,416
written about Atlantis
than any other subject.
58
00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:41,385
But most of what we know comes
from the Greek philosopher
59
00:04:41,420 --> 00:04:45,589
Plato, who wrote two books about
Atlantis, the Timaeus and the
60
00:04:45,624 --> 00:04:47,625
Critias.
61
00:04:47,626 --> 00:04:51,762
Written in 360 BC, Plato
described Atlantis as a
62
00:04:51,797 --> 00:04:55,933
highly advanced city, ringed
by concentric walls, which
63
00:04:55,967 --> 00:04:59,470
flourished 9,000 years
before his own time.
64
00:04:59,504 --> 00:05:06,610
There are descriptions of
huge palaces for kings.
65
00:05:06,678 --> 00:05:12,850
It's stated that Atlantis had
huge naval forces, which it
66
00:05:12,884 --> 00:05:16,020
used to conquer other parts of the world.
67
00:05:16,054 --> 00:05:18,956
It was an urban civilization.
68
00:05:19,024 --> 00:05:25,229
According to the ancient Greek
texts, Atlantis was connected
69
00:05:25,297 --> 00:05:28,132
with extraterrestrials from the beginning.
70
00:05:28,166 --> 00:05:33,838
It was founded by the Greek god Poseidon.
71
00:05:33,872 --> 00:05:39,677
Poseidon can be regarded as an
extraterrestrial in the sense
72
00:05:39,711 --> 00:05:43,747
of not being of this Earth.
73
00:05:43,748 --> 00:05:47,485
Poseidon, one of the extraterrestrial,
74
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:52,857
found a pretty, wonderful,
young woman-girl on Earth.
75
00:05:52,858 --> 00:05:56,494
And he took this woman-girl,
made her pregnant.
76
00:05:56,561 --> 00:06:02,032
And to protect his new
family, he founded Atlantis.
77
00:06:02,100 --> 00:06:05,769
According to the legend,
after a failed attempt
78
00:06:05,837 --> 00:06:09,673
to invade Athens, disaster
struck the island.
79
00:06:09,741 --> 00:06:15,045
According to Plato, Atlantis was
destroyed in a day and a night...
80
00:06:20,352 --> 00:06:25,556
...a cataclysmic destruction
that sank the entire island and
81
00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:27,758
its capital city.
82
00:06:27,759 --> 00:06:33,030
Some researchers believe
that the Atlantians somehow
83
00:06:33,098 --> 00:06:36,100
destroyed themselves.
84
00:06:36,101 --> 00:06:39,670
According to Plato, Atlantis
was located in front
85
00:06:39,738 --> 00:06:43,607
of the Pillars of Hercules,
a location beyond what some
86
00:06:43,675 --> 00:06:46,610
scholars attribute to modern Gibraltar.
87
00:06:46,645 --> 00:06:49,079
And to the ancients, as they left the
88
00:06:49,147 --> 00:06:56,120
Mediterranean Sea to go into the
larger Atlantic Ocean, this was
89
00:06:56,154 --> 00:06:59,790
where they went beyond the
Pillars of Hercules between
90
00:06:59,824 --> 00:07:01,258
Spain and Morocco.
91
00:07:01,293 --> 00:07:05,529
Across the Atlantic lies the island chain
92
00:07:05,597 --> 00:07:10,601
of the Bahamas, just southeast of Florida.
93
00:07:10,635 --> 00:07:16,407
Here in 1968, archaeologist J.
Manson Valentine believed he
94
00:07:16,441 --> 00:07:19,977
found part of Atlantis when
he discovered an unusual rock
95
00:07:20,045 --> 00:07:24,148
formation off the coast
of North Bimini Island.
96
00:07:24,182 --> 00:07:28,052
It's only in about 12
to 18 feet of water, so
97
00:07:28,119 --> 00:07:30,588
you can, uh, view it easily.
98
00:07:30,622 --> 00:07:35,426
At first, scientists thought
this was just beach rock, but
99
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:39,430
then several other scientists
exploring the Bimini Road
100
00:07:39,464 --> 00:07:42,666
noticed that the beach rock was
on top of other beach rock,
101
00:07:42,701 --> 00:07:45,903
with balancing stones wedged in between.
102
00:07:45,904 --> 00:07:49,506
And nature doesn't do that; man does.
103
00:07:49,541 --> 00:07:55,512
And they realized this is a harbor,
a breakwater for a harbor.
104
00:07:55,513 --> 00:08:00,050
From the shallow edges of
Bimini all the way to the Gulf
105
00:08:00,085 --> 00:08:04,588
Stream in 300 feet of water,
we have found many fascinating
106
00:08:04,656 --> 00:08:09,326
complexities that look like
remnants of ancient cities or
107
00:08:09,361 --> 00:08:14,865
structures... roads, pathways,
structures covered in coral.
108
00:08:14,933 --> 00:08:19,670
Could the Bimini ruins
be remnants of Atlantis?
109
00:08:19,704 --> 00:08:23,774
And if so, could these roads
lead to other sites buried
110
00:08:23,842 --> 00:08:27,311
under sand and water?
111
00:08:27,345 --> 00:08:31,482
In the year 2000, while mapping
the seafloor off the western
112
00:08:31,516 --> 00:08:35,152
coast of Cuba, a research
expedition led by
113
00:08:35,186 --> 00:08:38,222
Russian-Canadian oceanographer
Paulina Zelitsky spotted
114
00:08:38,256 --> 00:08:42,192
symmetrical stone structures
deep below the water.
115
00:08:42,227 --> 00:08:45,929
Remarkably, they were
over a half mile down.
116
00:08:45,930 --> 00:08:50,501
Divers cannot do this kind of,
uh, investigation, so we have to
117
00:08:50,535 --> 00:08:53,470
use remote operating vehicle.
118
00:08:53,505 --> 00:08:58,475
And this vehicle is equipped with
video cameras and manipulators.
119
00:08:58,510 --> 00:09:03,447
And it controlled, uh,
from the deck of the ship.
120
00:09:03,481 --> 00:09:08,519
The expedition was also
armed with side-scan sonar
121
00:09:08,553 --> 00:09:12,823
equipment used to create images
of large areas of the sea floor
122
00:09:12,891 --> 00:09:15,059
and underwater objects.
123
00:09:15,093 --> 00:09:18,062
I was in control room on
board of the ship, and
124
00:09:18,096 --> 00:09:22,066
we were receiving that image
coming from side-scan.
125
00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:25,002
And this is just one of the
many other images that we were
126
00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:33,043
obtaining of, the 80, uh,
structures made of large stones
127
00:09:33,078 --> 00:09:36,680
placed one on top of another.
128
00:09:39,084 --> 00:09:41,685
Well, what do they end up with?
129
00:09:41,753 --> 00:09:48,792
It is an image that shows these
rectangular 90-degree angles,
130
00:09:48,860 --> 00:09:53,497
over and over and over, on very
large structures that seemed to
131
00:09:53,565 --> 00:09:55,566
have wide avenues.
132
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,336
The exploration found huge stone blocks in
133
00:09:59,370 --> 00:10:03,040
pyramid shapes, others more circular.
134
00:10:03,074 --> 00:10:07,511
Most were gigantic, reaching
16 feet in height and weighing
135
00:10:07,545 --> 00:10:09,313
several tons.
136
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:14,518
30 geometric structures emerged,
appearing to be the remains of
137
00:10:14,552 --> 00:10:19,490
streets, buildings, tunnels and
pyramids, all at a depth of
138
00:10:19,524 --> 00:10:24,695
2,200 feet below the surface of the water.
139
00:10:24,763 --> 00:10:28,565
We might well have here the evidence of a
140
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,669
prehistoric culture that would
probably go back tens of
141
00:10:32,704 --> 00:10:37,975
thousands of years, and
that's very exciting indeed.
142
00:10:37,976 --> 00:10:43,380
Using dating techniques based on the
presence of nearby volcanic ash,
143
00:10:43,414 --> 00:10:49,520
geologists estimated the underwater
city sank over 6,000 years ago.
144
00:10:49,587 --> 00:10:54,224
Could this be, a half mile
down, some part of the
145
00:10:54,292 --> 00:11:01,932
sunken Atlantis from 9,000, 10,000
yrs ago that Plato talked about?
146
00:11:01,966 --> 00:11:05,569
Well, the Atlantis myth is
integrally related with
147
00:11:05,603 --> 00:11:10,274
the area of the Caribbean and the
Bahamas, in particular Cuba.
148
00:11:10,308 --> 00:11:12,543
Plato talks about an island empire.
149
00:11:12,577 --> 00:11:15,546
He's probably talking about
dozens of different islands of
150
00:11:15,580 --> 00:11:20,751
different sizes, not just in the
western Atlantic, but probably
151
00:11:20,785 --> 00:11:23,887
stretching out right into
the central Atlantic area.
152
00:11:23,922 --> 00:11:27,825
Both the Cuban and the
Bahaman ruins lie on the
153
00:11:27,859 --> 00:11:32,196
western edge of the Bermuda
Triangle, an area of ocean
154
00:11:32,263 --> 00:11:37,100
covering over 500,000 square
miles, known for magnetic
155
00:11:37,168 --> 00:11:41,271
anomalies, extraterrestrial
sightings and unexplained
156
00:11:41,339 --> 00:11:45,375
disappearances of aircraft and ships.
157
00:11:45,443 --> 00:11:48,979
Could there be a connection
between Atlantis and the area
158
00:11:49,013 --> 00:11:52,349
known as the Devil's Triangle?
159
00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:56,553
On the edge of the Bermuda
Triangle, there are
160
00:11:56,621 --> 00:12:00,624
underwater ruins of the
ancient city of Atlantis, the
161
00:12:00,658 --> 00:12:02,826
prehistoric city of Atlantis.
162
00:12:02,861 --> 00:12:08,098
So, yes, there is a theory that
Atlantis lies, not near Greece,
163
00:12:08,132 --> 00:12:10,634
but in the Bermuda Triangle.
164
00:12:12,971 --> 00:12:16,607
If Plato's texts are true,
then other Greek myths
165
00:12:16,641 --> 00:12:20,177
may provide a hint of the
true fate of Atlantis.
166
00:12:20,211 --> 00:12:26,617
One myth tells of the Titan
goddess named Asteria, who fell
167
00:12:26,651 --> 00:12:29,820
from the sky and became an island.
168
00:12:29,888 --> 00:12:33,957
In ancient Greece, we have
a number of myths which
169
00:12:33,992 --> 00:12:39,630
describe islands... bronze,
gleaming islands... that fell
170
00:12:39,697 --> 00:12:43,233
from the sky and landed in water.
171
00:12:43,234 --> 00:12:48,705
I don't think that Atlantis,
therefore, was an actual
172
00:12:48,740 --> 00:12:51,708
stationary, physical island.
173
00:12:51,743 --> 00:12:58,348
Atlantis, according to Plato,
disappeared in one night with a
174
00:12:58,416 --> 00:13:01,218
lot of fire and a lot of smoke.
175
00:13:01,252 --> 00:13:04,521
See, I don't think that Atlantis sank.
176
00:13:04,555 --> 00:13:08,525
I think Atlantis lifted off.
177
00:13:13,398 --> 00:13:17,067
Was Atlantis a safe haven
for ancient aliens before
178
00:13:17,135 --> 00:13:19,703
the end of Earth's last Ice Age?
179
00:13:19,771 --> 00:13:24,908
And if so, could there be other
alien cities submerged deep
180
00:13:24,976 --> 00:13:27,244
underwater?
181
00:13:29,250 --> 00:13:31,384
Yonaguni, Japan.
182
00:13:31,419 --> 00:13:35,355
This small island is at the
westernmost tip of the
183
00:13:35,389 --> 00:13:39,192
Japanese archipelago.
184
00:13:39,226 --> 00:13:42,962
Scholars believe the first
inhabitants migrated here from
185
00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:47,801
Southeast Asia during prehistoric times.
186
00:13:53,808 --> 00:14:01,114
In 1987, in nearby waters, dive
tour orator Kihachiro Aratake
187
00:14:01,182 --> 00:14:04,351
made a shocking discovery.
188
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:09,356
A massive complex of stone
formations lay hidden a mere 60
189
00:14:09,390 --> 00:14:12,492
feet beneath the ocean surface.
190
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:16,029
Experts call it one of the
greatest discoveries in the
191
00:14:16,097 --> 00:14:21,034
history of underwater archeology.
192
00:14:23,104 --> 00:14:27,807
What's intriguing about the
complex at Yonaguni is
193
00:14:27,842 --> 00:14:30,910
that there are a whole range of
monuments, pretty much side by
194
00:14:30,945 --> 00:14:35,815
side, and this, to my eye, looks
unmistakably to be the work of
195
00:14:35,850 --> 00:14:38,818
human beings, not the random
action of the ocean on
196
00:14:38,853 --> 00:14:42,822
differential layers of stone.
197
00:14:49,463 --> 00:14:52,565
There are several reasons why
I think this is not a natural
198
00:14:52,633 --> 00:14:54,167
formation.
199
00:14:54,201 --> 00:15:01,574
Some tools and engraved
stones are found at the site.
200
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:05,545
Because of these things, there
is no doubt that this is made
201
00:15:05,579 --> 00:15:08,715
artificially.
202
00:15:08,749 --> 00:15:12,886
Submerged beneath 60 to
100 feet of water, the
203
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,823
largest of the underwater
formations resemble a massive,
204
00:15:16,857 --> 00:15:22,929
five-layered stepped pyramid, the
size of two football fields.
205
00:15:22,963 --> 00:15:30,703
You see unambiguous carvings that
clearly are geometric in nature,
206
00:15:30,738 --> 00:15:32,205
tons of right angles.
207
00:15:32,239 --> 00:15:35,275
We see channels that you can
walk through with stairwells at
208
00:15:35,342 --> 00:15:38,978
the end that are perfectly
rectangular in shape.
209
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:41,881
There are places where
you find megaliths piled
210
00:15:41,916 --> 00:15:46,920
on top of one another to create a
tunnel through which you can swim.
211
00:15:46,987 --> 00:15:50,457
There is a set of megaliths
positioned side by side against
212
00:15:50,491 --> 00:15:52,625
the side of the cliff.
213
00:15:52,660 --> 00:15:56,996
There's a gigantic human
face carved underwater.
214
00:15:57,031 --> 00:16:03,736
There is a stone that inscribes a
big face, about seven meters in
215
00:16:03,804 --> 00:16:04,737
height.
216
00:16:04,805 --> 00:16:08,741
Our first impression was that it
looked a lot like the Moai on
217
00:16:08,776 --> 00:16:12,445
Easter Island.
218
00:16:12,513 --> 00:16:16,082
Then we began to realize that it
strongly resembled the sphinx
219
00:16:16,150 --> 00:16:20,086
which guarded the pyramids, and
we wondered, "Is that the"
220
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,455
function the face is serving "here?"
221
00:16:22,523 --> 00:16:27,260
It's the whole combination of all
these structures together which
222
00:16:27,294 --> 00:16:32,165
convinced me that we're looking at a...
at a ceremonial complex.
223
00:16:32,199 --> 00:16:36,469
The mystery surrounding the
Yonaguni underwater structure
224
00:16:36,504 --> 00:16:39,005
is, when did it go underwater?
225
00:16:39,073 --> 00:16:43,910
The geological evidence is that
it was submerged during the
226
00:16:43,978 --> 00:16:47,914
meltdown of the last Ice Age.
227
00:16:54,054 --> 00:17:00,994
All around the world, whether it is
France, India or Japan, there are
228
00:17:01,061 --> 00:17:04,731
man-made structures that lie underwater.
229
00:17:04,732 --> 00:17:08,801
Two ways how our ancestors
could have done this.
230
00:17:08,836 --> 00:17:13,740
Either they had scuba gear...
I don't think so...
231
00:17:13,774 --> 00:17:20,079
or this stuff was built when the
ocean levels were lower, and
232
00:17:20,147 --> 00:17:25,618
that was over 14,000 years ago,
and 14,000 years ago, according
233
00:17:25,686 --> 00:17:29,055
to mainstream archeology, we
were just dwelling in caves,
234
00:17:29,123 --> 00:17:30,490
hunter-gatherers.
235
00:17:30,524 --> 00:17:33,336
Could the Yonaguni structures
have been built by
236
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,929
such primitive people?
237
00:17:35,963 --> 00:17:41,200
And what evidence exists of the
people who inhabited this island?
238
00:17:41,201 --> 00:17:46,078
Human fossils were found, so I'm
sure there were people living on the
239
00:17:46,106 --> 00:17:49,842
island, but I'm not sure if they
had the technology to create
240
00:17:49,910 --> 00:17:53,279
structures, or anything like this.
241
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,848
It's not so much the question
of could the stone have
242
00:17:55,916 --> 00:17:57,750
been chipped away and removed.
243
00:17:57,818 --> 00:18:02,121
It's a question of the vision,
of the scale of the complex,
244
00:18:02,156 --> 00:18:05,458
of thinking in those kind of terms.
245
00:18:05,492 --> 00:18:09,262
And we know of no other, uh,
Stone Age culture that thought
246
00:18:09,296 --> 00:18:14,467
in those kind of terms, of
creating a gigantic, seemingly
247
00:18:14,501 --> 00:18:18,204
ceremonial complex.
248
00:18:18,272 --> 00:18:21,641
If, according to scholars,
the ancient Japanese
249
00:18:21,675 --> 00:18:25,912
people could not have built
this monument, who did?
250
00:18:25,980 --> 00:18:29,115
And how did it get here?
251
00:18:29,116 --> 00:18:32,452
The speculation is that
extraterrestrials created
252
00:18:32,486 --> 00:18:34,253
the Yonaguni monument.
253
00:18:34,288 --> 00:18:37,523
The engineering is just beyond
the capacity of Stone Age
254
00:18:37,558 --> 00:18:41,828
civilizations.
255
00:18:41,862 --> 00:18:45,264
Ancient astronaut theorists
also believe the key
256
00:18:45,299 --> 00:18:52,105
to the Yonaguni mystery is found
in its global positioning.
257
00:18:52,139 --> 00:18:56,843
Strangely, the complex lies
within an area of the Pacific
258
00:18:56,877 --> 00:19:01,814
long suspected of
extraterrestrial activity.
259
00:19:01,882 --> 00:19:07,353
It's called the Dragon's Triangle.
260
00:19:07,388 --> 00:19:10,456
Just south of Japan, you
have a mysterious area
261
00:19:10,491 --> 00:19:13,726
called the Dragon's Triangle,
which is very similar to the
262
00:19:13,761 --> 00:19:16,629
Bermuda Triangle, because
you have planes that have
263
00:19:16,664 --> 00:19:20,099
disappeared from the air, ships that
have disappeared from the ocean.
264
00:19:20,167 --> 00:19:24,470
In fact, Japan had declared
this a disaster area.
265
00:19:26,573 --> 00:19:29,175
Don't sail through it.
266
00:19:29,209 --> 00:19:30,910
Don't fly through it.
267
00:19:30,944 --> 00:19:35,181
Stay the heck away, because if
you go in there, terrible things
268
00:19:35,249 --> 00:19:37,183
can happen to you.
269
00:19:40,421 --> 00:19:43,456
In ancient Japan, and even
into the relatively modern
270
00:19:43,524 --> 00:19:47,527
era, there are stories about the
Dragon Sea, in which objects
271
00:19:47,561 --> 00:19:51,264
rise out of the water and
sail through the air.
272
00:19:51,265 --> 00:19:55,902
In ancient Japan, these were
winged monsters breathing fire.
273
00:19:58,272 --> 00:20:01,541
In more modern times, these took
on the appearance of actual
274
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:02,508
machines.
275
00:20:02,543 --> 00:20:07,180
When you compare those
descriptions of these devices
276
00:20:07,214 --> 00:20:11,784
with the description that
Columbus gave of a craft nearing
277
00:20:11,819 --> 00:20:15,054
the Bermuda Triangle actually
rising out of the water, a light
278
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:18,691
that followed the ship, you
realize there's a similarity in
279
00:20:18,726 --> 00:20:22,995
both of these locations to
things, objects, that are in the
280
00:20:23,063 --> 00:20:27,533
water and rise out of the water
and fly through the air.
281
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:31,003
But why are the two
submerged structures found
282
00:20:31,071 --> 00:20:34,273
within the perimeter of these
strange regions of the planet
283
00:20:34,341 --> 00:20:38,077
where so much unusual activity occurs?
284
00:20:38,112 --> 00:20:41,547
Is it coincidence that the
Earth's 25th parallel north
285
00:20:41,582 --> 00:20:48,187
cuts through both the Bermuda
Triangle and the Dragon's Triangle?
286
00:20:48,255 --> 00:20:51,958
They lie on a plane along
the same line, and both of
287
00:20:51,992 --> 00:20:57,730
them have the same magnetic
phenomena, in which compass
288
00:20:57,765 --> 00:21:01,768
bearings are lost and instruments go down.
289
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:07,039
People wonder if there's a
real, strange UFO connection.
290
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,610
If UFO's and flying
saucers do exist, then we
291
00:21:10,644 --> 00:21:13,289
should suspect that they could
originally come from an ancient
292
00:21:13,313 --> 00:21:14,514
super civilization.
293
00:21:14,548 --> 00:21:17,617
It makes you wonder if flying
saucers, UFO's, whatever you
294
00:21:17,684 --> 00:21:20,787
want to call them, actually use
the area of the Triangle as
295
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:23,523
their major base, and perhaps
are even coming back to the
296
00:21:23,557 --> 00:21:28,027
remnants of a civilization
that they were familiar with.
297
00:21:28,028 --> 00:21:31,264
What if the sunken monuments
at Yonaguni and near
298
00:21:31,298 --> 00:21:34,801
Cuba had alien origins?
299
00:21:34,835 --> 00:21:38,504
Might they have been used as alien bases?
300
00:21:38,539 --> 00:21:41,240
And if we believe
extraterrestrials functioned on
301
00:21:41,308 --> 00:21:45,778
land, could they have also
functioned underwater?
302
00:21:45,813 --> 00:21:50,883
Could there be more evidence
lying in the vast Pacific?
303
00:21:53,579 --> 00:21:56,715
As an island nation, it should come as no
304
00:21:56,749 --> 00:22:00,318
mystery that much of Japan's
rich history is tied to the
305
00:22:00,353 --> 00:22:03,054
waters of the Pacific Ocean.
306
00:22:03,089 --> 00:22:06,524
But although many of Japan's
legends are largely unknown to
307
00:22:06,592 --> 00:22:11,062
the West, some are drawing the
attention of ancient astronaut
308
00:22:11,097 --> 00:22:13,064
theorists.
309
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:20,905
One such legend dates back to
1803 and traces its origins
310
00:22:20,940 --> 00:22:25,210
to a beach north of Tokyo.
311
00:22:25,211 --> 00:22:31,549
Allegedly, a craft that
was quite large in size
312
00:22:31,617 --> 00:22:34,085
washed up on the shore in Japan.
313
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:40,325
A strange round ship drifted
ashore in this area.
314
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,635
The woman did not speak any
language they could identify.
315
00:22:50,669 --> 00:22:53,271
There were written inscriptions
inside her craft that they
316
00:22:53,305 --> 00:22:57,275
could not identify, and she's
clutching this box that she
317
00:22:57,309 --> 00:22:59,544
didn't want anybody to touch.
318
00:23:23,002 --> 00:23:26,337
Known as the legend of the
Utsuro Bune, or "hollow"
319
00:23:26,372 --> 00:23:30,275
"ship," the details of the story
have puzzled historians for
320
00:23:30,342 --> 00:23:32,076
centuries.
321
00:23:32,111 --> 00:23:36,548
Where, for example, did the
mysterious hollow ship come from?
322
00:23:36,615 --> 00:23:41,553
Could it have come from the area of
the submerged Yonaguni monument?
323
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:43,922
Who was the strange woman?
324
00:23:43,989 --> 00:23:48,626
And what were the contents of the
box she guarded so carefully?
325
00:23:48,661 --> 00:23:50,595
Was it a human head?
326
00:23:50,629 --> 00:23:54,599
Or was it, as some ancient
astronaut theorists believe, a
327
00:23:54,633 --> 00:23:59,804
type of brain or other form of
extraterrestrial intelligence?
328
00:23:59,872 --> 00:24:03,641
If so, could it have been
intended as a gift to the early
329
00:24:03,676 --> 00:24:09,647
Japanese by an ancient space traveler?
330
00:24:09,715 --> 00:24:13,351
There's five different drawings
that have survived from completely
331
00:24:13,419 --> 00:24:14,819
different regions of Japan.
332
00:24:14,854 --> 00:24:18,022
They're almost identical
to modern UFO reports.
333
00:24:37,743 --> 00:24:41,012
As evidence to support
their claims, ancient
334
00:24:41,046 --> 00:24:44,582
astronaut theorists point to
early Japanese carvings and
335
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:50,722
statuary, each suggesting a variety
of extraterrestrial encounters.
336
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:55,126
This is a Dogu figure,
and it comes from Japan.
337
00:24:55,194 --> 00:24:58,963
And even to the untrained eye,
you look at this, and it's as if
338
00:24:58,998 --> 00:25:03,401
this being is wearing some type
of a suit... with a helmet, some
339
00:25:03,435 --> 00:25:09,841
goggles, on the back there are
all these weird buckles and
340
00:25:09,875 --> 00:25:12,744
circles, you know, straps.
341
00:25:12,745 --> 00:25:16,681
Very similar to a modern-day space suit.
342
00:25:16,715 --> 00:25:21,119
In my opinion, this is a
likeness of a possible
343
00:25:21,186 --> 00:25:25,390
extraterrestrial that visited
Earth thousands of years ago.
344
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:30,295
Archaeologists have
catalogued the existence of
345
00:25:30,329 --> 00:25:34,933
more than 15,000 Dogu figures
made during the Jomon period of
346
00:25:34,967 --> 00:25:42,674
prehistoric Japan, dating from
approximately 14,000 to 300 years B.C.
347
00:25:42,741 --> 00:25:47,412
But could, as ancient astronaut
theorists believe, these strange
348
00:25:47,446 --> 00:25:52,317
Dogu figures really be a
primitive interpretation of a
349
00:25:52,384 --> 00:25:56,454
pressurized space suit or diving apparel?
350
00:25:56,488 --> 00:26:00,191
The story behind those
Dogu figures is very
351
00:26:00,225 --> 00:26:03,761
clear, and anyone can go and
read translations of the ancient
352
00:26:03,829 --> 00:26:09,133
texts that the Dogu, a long time
ago, descended from the sky and
353
00:26:09,168 --> 00:26:14,472
taught the first Japanese
people in various disciplines.
354
00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:17,942
And the whole Japanese
culture, including the
355
00:26:17,977 --> 00:26:22,046
kimono, the tea ceremony, the
use of wasabi and ginger for
356
00:26:22,114 --> 00:26:27,085
eating sushi, the way that they
build their architecture, their
357
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,121
written language, everything
they say came from these
358
00:26:30,155 --> 00:26:33,458
visitors, from these
gods, from the universe.
359
00:26:33,492 --> 00:26:37,795
The pictures shows beings
who look like astronauts.
360
00:26:37,830 --> 00:26:40,565
They are dressed like an astronaut.
361
00:26:40,633 --> 00:26:42,767
They have the helmet as an astronaut.
362
00:26:42,835 --> 00:26:45,937
They have some strange tools
in their hands, tools which we
363
00:26:46,005 --> 00:26:48,006
do not understand.
364
00:26:48,007 --> 00:26:49,474
Now, there is a link.
365
00:26:49,541 --> 00:26:52,543
The Japanese call it "Dogus."
366
00:26:52,544 --> 00:26:59,117
In North America, we have still
the Hopi tribe, in Arizona, and
367
00:26:59,151 --> 00:27:05,123
the Hopi Indians are still
making today kachina dolls.
368
00:27:07,226 --> 00:27:14,832
Kachina dolls look similar to
the Japanese Dogu figures.
369
00:27:14,867 --> 00:27:25,176
Further back, in the Sahara Desert,
Africa, we found cave paintings.
370
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:29,747
When you see the picture, you see
definitely an astronaut suit.
371
00:27:29,815 --> 00:27:30,748
No doubt.
372
00:27:30,816 --> 00:27:32,183
Absolutely.
373
00:27:32,217 --> 00:27:37,121
Now, you compare these cave
paintings with the kachina dolls
374
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:40,525
of the Hopi, and with the Dogu of Japan.
375
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:43,795
You have one line.
376
00:27:43,829 --> 00:27:47,765
Do the mysterious Dogu
figures provide tangible
377
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:54,605
evidence of extraterrestrial
encounters in Japan's ancient past?
378
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:58,342
And does the legend of the
Utsuro Bune suggest that the
379
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:05,983
Earth's oceans may be hiding even
more proof of alien contact?
380
00:28:06,051 --> 00:28:10,488
Perhaps the answer can be found
deep in the waters off the coast
381
00:28:10,522 --> 00:28:13,491
of India.
382
00:28:16,204 --> 00:28:21,742
In 2001, researchers from India's Oceanic
383
00:28:21,777 --> 00:28:25,312
Institute detected anomalies
on the bottom of the Gulf of
384
00:28:25,380 --> 00:28:28,315
Khambhat, seven miles from shore.
385
00:28:28,383 --> 00:28:33,387
They had been commissioned by the
Indian government to do a survey of
386
00:28:33,422 --> 00:28:38,759
pollution in the Gulf of Khambhat
up in the northwest of India.
387
00:28:38,827 --> 00:28:42,229
And they were not expecting to
find anything except a mess
388
00:28:42,264 --> 00:28:43,764
down there.
389
00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:48,769
But suddenly, their side-scan
sonar started returning images
390
00:28:48,804 --> 00:28:52,106
of regular structures.
391
00:28:52,107 --> 00:28:55,576
The images revealed an
enormous network of stone
392
00:28:55,610 --> 00:29:00,047
buildings, now shrouded in
mud and sand, and covering a
393
00:29:00,082 --> 00:29:02,750
distance of five square miles.
394
00:29:02,784 --> 00:29:05,386
What we're looking at in
the Gulf of Khambhat are
395
00:29:05,420 --> 00:29:07,288
the remains of cities.
396
00:29:07,322 --> 00:29:09,023
There's actually two of them.
397
00:29:09,091 --> 00:29:12,560
And it turns out that they are
positioned on the side of
398
00:29:12,594 --> 00:29:14,028
ancient river channels.
399
00:29:14,096 --> 00:29:16,797
They look lime cities that have
been submerged for a very long
400
00:29:16,832 --> 00:29:20,768
time, at a time when mainstream
archeology tells us there were
401
00:29:20,836 --> 00:29:23,904
no cities anywhere in the world.
402
00:29:23,939 --> 00:29:29,743
Powerful crosscurrents made it nearly
impossible to dive the 170 feet
403
00:29:29,778 --> 00:29:31,178
to the bottom.
404
00:29:31,213 --> 00:29:37,084
Still, scientists retrieved
dozens of artifacts, including
405
00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:40,087
wood and pottery shards.
406
00:29:40,122 --> 00:29:45,059
Some of the dates on some
of the human artifacts that
407
00:29:45,093 --> 00:29:51,065
were brought up extended as
far back as 32,000 years.
408
00:29:51,099 --> 00:29:56,270
But the oceanographers concluded
that the area had been covered
409
00:29:56,338 --> 00:29:59,974
by water about 9,000 years ago.
410
00:29:59,975 --> 00:30:06,080
So this city had apparently
existed from 32,000 to about
411
00:30:06,114 --> 00:30:08,816
9,000 years ago.
412
00:30:08,884 --> 00:30:13,921
Mainstream scholars today claim
that ancient Indian civilization
413
00:30:13,989 --> 00:30:17,791
only goes back 4,000 or 5,000 years.
414
00:30:17,859 --> 00:30:22,496
Yet, Hindu scholars themselves
say that Hindu civilization is
415
00:30:22,531 --> 00:30:25,799
going back, uh, many tens of
thousands, even hundreds of
416
00:30:25,834 --> 00:30:28,369
thousands of years.
417
00:30:28,370 --> 00:30:31,805
Might the ruins below the
Gulf of Khambhat prove
418
00:30:31,873 --> 00:30:34,074
the Hindu scholars right?
419
00:30:34,142 --> 00:30:38,445
Another recent discovery
may support their claims.
420
00:30:40,849 --> 00:30:47,154
200 miles to the northwest lies
the modern city of Dwaraka.
421
00:30:47,222 --> 00:30:52,126
Archaeologists digging deep
under the city found signs of a
422
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,263
settlement once inundated by the sea.
423
00:30:56,331 --> 00:31:01,135
Inspired by this clue, they
began searching for more ruins
424
00:31:01,169 --> 00:31:04,138
in waters just off the coast.
425
00:31:06,541 --> 00:31:12,346
In only 70 feet of water, divers
discovered sandstone walls,
426
00:31:12,414 --> 00:31:17,618
cobblestone streets and evidence
of a prosperous seaport.
427
00:31:17,686 --> 00:31:21,622
Scholars declared these ruins
to be the remains of the
428
00:31:21,690 --> 00:31:27,428
ancient and legendary city of Dwaraka.
429
00:31:27,462 --> 00:31:32,233
Ancient Hindu texts explain that
the legendary city of Dwaraka
430
00:31:32,267 --> 00:31:36,704
was said to be the dwelling
place of Lord Krishna, a deity
431
00:31:36,738 --> 00:31:39,740
worshipped across many
traditions of Hinduism.
432
00:31:39,741 --> 00:31:44,511
Imagine what it would mean for the
Christian world to all of a sudden
433
00:31:44,546 --> 00:31:51,819
discover the actual Holy Grail,
the actual Ark of the Covenant.
434
00:31:51,820 --> 00:31:56,590
That would be akin, for the
Indian population, to discover
435
00:31:56,625 --> 00:31:58,525
an actual Dwaraka.
436
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,764
This was a very powerful city,
which was ruled by Lord Krishna.
437
00:32:03,798 --> 00:32:07,568
And Krishna is still revered until today.
438
00:32:07,602 --> 00:32:12,773
He's one of the highest gods
that we have in Hindu culture.
439
00:32:12,807 --> 00:32:17,411
Hindu texts explain that a
king named Salwa attacked
440
00:32:17,479 --> 00:32:20,881
Lord Krishna in the mythical Dwaraka.
441
00:32:20,949 --> 00:32:25,252
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe the descriptions of the
442
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,591
battle suggest the use of alien
technology and even spacecraft.
443
00:32:30,659 --> 00:32:35,696
According to the ancient
Sanskrit texts, with
444
00:32:35,764 --> 00:32:41,235
this spacecraft, Salwa attacked
the city, raining down energy
445
00:32:41,303 --> 00:32:44,605
weapons that resemble lightning.
446
00:32:46,041 --> 00:32:50,577
He destroyed large parts
of the city in this way
447
00:32:50,645 --> 00:32:56,450
When this happened, the king
of the city, the god Krishna,
448
00:32:56,484 --> 00:33:03,290
responded by firing weapons
at this spacecraft.
449
00:33:03,325 --> 00:33:07,261
The weapons are described as arrows,
but they're not ordinary arrows.
450
00:33:07,295 --> 00:33:10,197
It's said that they roared like
thunder when they were launched,
451
00:33:10,265 --> 00:33:16,103
and resembled bolts of
lightning or rays of the sun.
452
00:33:16,137 --> 00:33:22,810
In response, it is said that the
spacecraft began to appear in
453
00:33:22,844 --> 00:33:25,813
different places simultaneously.
454
00:33:25,847 --> 00:33:31,452
It appeared to be moving in
ways that resemble modern
455
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:33,987
descriptions of UFOs.
456
00:33:34,022 --> 00:33:38,525
So what I find interesting about
this account is, there's a
457
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:44,732
spacecraft made of metal that is
firing down weapons on a city on
458
00:33:44,799 --> 00:33:46,834
Earth.
459
00:33:46,868 --> 00:33:49,970
The legend says that Krishna
eventually departed
460
00:33:50,004 --> 00:33:54,641
Earth, and the ocean consumed
his city of Dwaraka.
461
00:33:54,709 --> 00:33:59,747
For many people, the description
of fabulous ancient
462
00:33:59,814 --> 00:34:04,718
cities in the Sanskrit writings
of India were simply mythology,
463
00:34:04,753 --> 00:34:10,290
but with the discovery of the
remains of a sunken city off the
464
00:34:10,325 --> 00:34:16,897
coast of India in the location of
Dwaraka, all that has changed.
465
00:34:20,034 --> 00:34:23,804
People are beginning to look at
these ancient writings in a new
466
00:34:23,838 --> 00:34:27,641
light, and see them not simply
as mythology, but as actual
467
00:34:27,709 --> 00:34:31,011
historical records.
468
00:34:31,045 --> 00:34:35,516
Did India's ancestors
witness a war between
469
00:34:35,550 --> 00:34:38,352
extraterrestrial entities?
470
00:34:38,420 --> 00:34:43,157
If the mythical city cited in the
Hindu texts turned out to be
471
00:34:43,191 --> 00:34:46,994
real, could there also be
evidence of Krishna and his
472
00:34:47,061 --> 00:34:49,997
supernatural powers?
473
00:34:53,401 --> 00:34:57,638
Ancient alien theorists believe
a link between the submerged
474
00:34:57,705 --> 00:35:02,609
ruins and extraterrestrials can
be found in another set of texts
475
00:35:02,644 --> 00:35:07,548
known as India's Sangam literature.
476
00:35:07,582 --> 00:35:11,718
Sangams were assemblies of sages.
477
00:35:11,786 --> 00:35:16,523
It says that the first two
Sangams took place on a sunken
478
00:35:16,558 --> 00:35:20,828
landmass called Kumari Kandam.
479
00:35:20,895 --> 00:35:25,165
This area was once above water
thousands of years ago,
480
00:35:25,233 --> 00:35:30,070
according to the accounts,
but it's now underwater.
481
00:35:30,104 --> 00:35:35,576
It's also interesting that these
assemblies of sages included
482
00:35:35,610 --> 00:35:38,612
extraterrestrial beings, as well.
483
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:44,451
And this fits in with evidence
discovered in the Gulf of
484
00:35:44,486 --> 00:35:51,458
Cambay, and off the coast of
the present city of Dwaraka.
485
00:35:56,431 --> 00:36:01,635
Are the interpretations of India's
ancient texts proof of alien
486
00:36:01,669 --> 00:36:05,072
contact in Earth's past?
487
00:36:05,139 --> 00:36:09,142
And are the descriptions of
gods actually descriptions of
488
00:36:09,177 --> 00:36:11,144
extraterrestrials?
489
00:36:13,114 --> 00:36:18,418
Perhaps another discovery... one
beneath a mysterious lake...
490
00:36:18,453 --> 00:36:24,351
will yield even more evidence of
alien visitors in the remote past.
491
00:36:25,549 --> 00:36:30,487
The Andes Mountains, Peru.
492
00:36:30,554 --> 00:36:35,625
Here, at an elevation of 12,500
feet, lie the dark waters of
493
00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:42,432
Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable
body of water in the world.
494
00:36:42,466 --> 00:36:46,036
In August of 2000, an
Italian team of divers and
495
00:36:46,070 --> 00:36:49,939
archaeologists launched an
underwater investigation of the
496
00:36:49,974 --> 00:36:51,941
legendary lake.
497
00:36:52,009 --> 00:36:56,846
There, submerged under 100
feet of water, the team
498
00:36:56,881 --> 00:37:01,184
uncovered traces of a paved
road, a stone terrace, and a
499
00:37:01,252 --> 00:37:05,188
wall nearly a half mile long.
500
00:37:05,256 --> 00:37:09,392
For centuries, local legends
have spoken of a lost
501
00:37:09,427 --> 00:37:12,662
underwater city called Wanaku.
502
00:37:12,730 --> 00:37:18,902
Could these ruins provide proof that
such a city did, in fact, exist?
503
00:37:18,936 --> 00:37:22,706
Then, another shocking discovery.
504
00:37:22,740 --> 00:37:28,078
Lying on the lake bed was a
large, sculptured stone head.
505
00:37:28,112 --> 00:37:31,881
Could this ancient relic offer
a clue to the origins of this
506
00:37:31,916 --> 00:37:35,018
incredible archaeological find?
507
00:37:37,455 --> 00:37:41,825
Comparisons were quickly made
to similar stonework found at
508
00:37:41,892 --> 00:37:45,795
the nearby ancient city of
Tiahuana, just 12 miles south
509
00:37:45,863 --> 00:37:50,834
of Lake Titicaca... a city long
thought by ancient astronaut
510
00:37:50,901 --> 00:37:55,638
theorists to have
extraterrestrial origins.
511
00:37:55,639 --> 00:37:59,242
When the early conquistadors talked to the
512
00:37:59,276 --> 00:38:04,714
local Aymara Indians they were
told that-that giants at the
513
00:38:04,749 --> 00:38:09,352
beginning of creation
had created Tiahuanaco.
514
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:15,058
The Spanish, too, were amazed by
the gigantic blocks of stone.
515
00:38:15,126 --> 00:38:19,696
They felt that the devil
had built this building.
516
00:38:19,764 --> 00:38:23,867
If you look at some of the
rock cut on megalithic
517
00:38:23,901 --> 00:38:26,936
structures at the site of
Tiahuanaco, I personally
518
00:38:26,971 --> 00:38:31,074
believe very strongly that we
are looking at an older episode
519
00:38:31,108 --> 00:38:36,413
of construction and the traces
of a forgotten episode in the
520
00:38:36,447 --> 00:38:39,449
human story.
521
00:38:39,450 --> 00:38:42,419
But if the ruins found
at the bottom of Lake
522
00:38:42,486 --> 00:38:47,857
Titicaca are from the legendary
lost city of Wanaku, what
523
00:38:47,892 --> 00:38:49,325
happened to it?
524
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:54,964
Did it fall prey to a major
earthquake or other natural disaster?
525
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:57,967
Or was the city, as some
ancient astronaut theorists
526
00:38:58,002 --> 00:39:01,304
believe, deliberately flooded?
527
00:39:01,338 --> 00:39:07,143
The more you know about Lake
Titicaca, the stranger it gets.
528
00:39:07,211 --> 00:39:12,248
Archeologists have problems in
really explaining why there are
529
00:39:12,283 --> 00:39:16,152
sunken ruins there, because
they're saying that the ruins
530
00:39:16,187 --> 00:39:18,154
aren't that old.
531
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:20,657
They're only 1,500 years old.
532
00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:24,427
And that would mean that Lake
Titicaca has gone through a
533
00:39:24,495 --> 00:39:29,132
number of major changes in that period.
534
00:39:29,166 --> 00:39:32,302
And it's possible that somehow
the lake itself and the
535
00:39:32,336 --> 00:39:36,406
shorelines were manipulated
so that certain areas of Lake
536
00:39:36,474 --> 00:39:41,778
Titicaca were flooded in a
sort of artificial way.
537
00:39:41,812 --> 00:39:48,284
There is a type of seahorse
that lives in Lake Titicaca.
538
00:39:48,319 --> 00:39:53,189
And seahorses are coming from
saltwater and oceans, yet these
539
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:58,828
seahorses are living at nearly
13,000 feet in the Andes.
540
00:39:58,863 --> 00:40:04,033
But just how could an ancient people
have artificially created South
541
00:40:04,068 --> 00:40:06,569
America's largest lake?
542
00:40:06,604 --> 00:40:11,174
A lake that is 118 miles
long and 50 miles wide?
543
00:40:11,175 --> 00:40:15,311
When you ask the local
population, "How did all"
544
00:40:15,346 --> 00:40:20,683
"of this come into being?"
the Aymara Indians will tell
545
00:40:20,751 --> 00:40:27,657
you that all of this has existed
since before the beginning of time.
546
00:40:27,691 --> 00:40:31,394
In the Aymara legends,
the lake is like the...
547
00:40:31,428 --> 00:40:35,365
the place of genesis, the place
where it starts... all the
548
00:40:35,399 --> 00:40:39,402
civilizations... in our continent.
549
00:40:39,403 --> 00:40:42,171
We have these very, very, very old roots.
550
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,275
I mean, we're not talking only
about this civilization, this
551
00:40:45,342 --> 00:40:46,276
humanity.
552
00:40:46,343 --> 00:40:53,283
We are talking about our
seeds, the roots of the stars.
553
00:40:53,350 --> 00:40:58,354
Some people believe that the
extraterrestrial built, but
554
00:40:58,389 --> 00:41:03,560
what I believe is that the
space brothers help us, direct
555
00:41:03,594 --> 00:41:10,233
us, teach us, because they had
the experience in many ways.
556
00:41:10,267 --> 00:41:15,271
The legend says that once the
space brothers came to this
557
00:41:15,306 --> 00:41:20,276
planet and they used to live
with us, and they was very
558
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:25,348
important in our lives and they
used to be very powerful people.
559
00:41:28,752 --> 00:41:32,422
But is it possible that
the lost city of Wanaku
560
00:41:32,456 --> 00:41:36,793
was really built, or inhabited,
by the ancient ancestors of
561
00:41:36,827 --> 00:41:39,996
the indigenous Aymara people?
562
00:41:40,064 --> 00:41:45,001
And if so, could it have been
deliberately flooded to avoid
563
00:41:45,069 --> 00:41:48,271
detection from the outside world?
564
00:41:50,074 --> 00:41:54,043
Cristina Sovrosa The elders,
they used to talk about the
565
00:41:54,078 --> 00:41:56,913
underwater city.
566
00:41:56,914 --> 00:42:02,619
They talk about the lights like
stars connecting with the lake.
567
00:42:02,686 --> 00:42:08,458
The stars, when they come down
to the lake, there is changes
568
00:42:08,525 --> 00:42:10,460
in the temperatures.
569
00:42:12,963 --> 00:42:16,766
There is many legends
with lights coming from
570
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,701
the underground of the lake.
571
00:42:18,769 --> 00:42:23,439
It seems they come, they go and
they return in different moments.
572
00:42:23,507 --> 00:42:26,676
You start to get the idea
that there is some kind
573
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:30,947
of ancient alien underwater base.
574
00:42:30,981 --> 00:42:34,684
And it's possible that some of
these sunken ruins are, uh,
575
00:42:34,718 --> 00:42:38,421
somehow part of that base.
576
00:42:38,455 --> 00:42:43,793
Could the ancient city of
Wanaku really have been
577
00:42:43,861 --> 00:42:46,329
built by alien visitors?
578
00:42:46,363 --> 00:42:49,165
And if so, why?
579
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:51,601
What was their purpose?
580
00:42:51,635 --> 00:42:55,371
Could the discovr of this and
other sunken cities pride the
581
00:42:55,406 --> 00:43:00,009
evidence that mankind has
been seeking for centuries...
582
00:43:00,077 --> 00:43:05,915
evidence that proves...
that we are not alone?
583
00:43:05,949 --> 00:43:09,018
These mysterious underwater
structures really
584
00:43:09,086 --> 00:43:12,088
don't have any context or any
background; they just seem to
585
00:43:12,122 --> 00:43:13,556
come from nowhere.
586
00:43:13,590 --> 00:43:17,260
They seem to stand out as being
out of place in time, so there's
587
00:43:17,327 --> 00:43:20,263
some question marks, some
mystery surrounding them that
588
00:43:20,297 --> 00:43:23,099
might shed new light on human history.
589
00:43:23,133 --> 00:43:27,804
Atlantis, Lake Titicaca, Dwaraka.
590
00:43:27,838 --> 00:43:33,643
All those ancient mystery
places always have had a
591
00:43:33,677 --> 00:43:36,446
connection to the gods.
592
00:43:36,513 --> 00:43:39,916
The gods who, in the ancient
astronaut opinion, were flesh
593
00:43:39,983 --> 00:43:43,086
and blood extraterrestrials.
594
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:49,358
And in the end, the ancient astronaut
theory will be proven right.
