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?

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. 52260
