10 00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:43,501 I have stood in front of drawings on the rocks 11 00:00:43,535 --> 00:00:46,071 and wondered, "am I looking at a 12 00:00:46,105 --> 00:00:48,674 extra-terrestrial biological "entity?" 13 00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:52,211 Could there really be mysterious places far 14 00:00:52,245 --> 00:00:54,379 beneath our feet? 15 00:00:54,413 --> 00:00:58,116 Places whose origins might not be of this Earth? 16 00:00:58,150 --> 00:01:01,719 There were certain aspects of the caves for 17 00:01:01,754 --> 00:01:05,523 which geology could not provide an answer. 18 00:01:05,557 --> 00:01:09,226 Millions of people around the world believe we 19 00:01:09,261 --> 00:01:13,697 have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. 20 00:01:13,731 --> 00:01:16,567 What if it were true? 21 00:01:16,601 --> 00:01:21,541 Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history? 22 00:01:21,575 --> 00:01:25,379 And if so, should we be looking for proof of their existence 23 00:01:25,414 --> 00:01:28,081 not in the heavens above but in 24 00:01:28,116 --> 00:01:31,653 mysterious worlds deep beneath the surface? 25 00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000 # Ancient Aliens 2x04 # Underground Aliens Original Air Date on November 18, 2010 26 00:02:02,722 --> 00:02:06,358 Bordered on the north by the black sea, and by the Taurus 27 00:02:06,392 --> 00:02:13,265 mountains to the South, lies Cappadocia in central Turkey. 28 00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:17,369 Here, wind and water have sculpted strange shapes out of 29 00:02:17,404 --> 00:02:22,141 the soft volcanic rock... rock which ancient peoples once 30 00:02:22,175 --> 00:02:25,711 turned into small, primitive dwellings. 31 00:02:25,746 --> 00:02:29,282 In more recent years, the site has seen the construction of 32 00:02:29,316 --> 00:02:31,617 more modern structures. 33 00:02:34,221 --> 00:02:39,159 But in 1963, a simple home renovation in the town of 34 00:02:39,193 --> 00:02:43,363 Derinkuyu led to an extraordinary discovery when a 35 00:02:43,397 --> 00:02:48,201 cave wall was opened, revealing a passageway to an underground 36 00:02:48,235 --> 00:02:55,208 city thousands of years old and more than 280 feet deep. 37 00:02:55,209 --> 00:02:57,711 I've been there on multiple occasions, and 38 00:02:57,779 --> 00:03:02,550 it's incredible because there's 13 stories that go deep into 39 00:03:02,584 --> 00:03:08,656 the ground, with ventilation shafts and 15,000 little shafts 40 00:03:08,691 --> 00:03:14,530 that bring air to even the deepest of levels. 41 00:03:14,564 --> 00:03:17,700 Incredibly, the number of rock rooms that were 42 00:03:17,734 --> 00:03:23,206 found could hold an estimated 20,000 men, women and children. 43 00:03:23,241 --> 00:03:28,346 There was even evidence of religious centers, storerooms, 44 00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:32,350 winepresses and stables for livestock. 45 00:03:32,384 --> 00:03:33,885 Oh, 46 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,888 Derinkuyu would've been a massive undertaking for anyone, 47 00:03:36,922 --> 00:03:40,392 even in modern times with modern equipment. 48 00:03:40,426 --> 00:03:45,564 But in those days, it would've been, um... stupendous. 49 00:03:45,565 --> 00:03:48,868 Equal to the pyramids. 50 00:03:48,902 --> 00:03:53,238 At Derinkuyu, because of the softness of the stone, you had 51 00:03:53,273 --> 00:03:57,476 to be very careful that you provided enough pillar strength 52 00:03:57,510 --> 00:04:00,245 to support the floors above, otherwise you'd have 53 00:04:00,279 --> 00:04:02,246 catastrophic cave-ins. 54 00:04:02,281 --> 00:04:05,282 Surprisingly, there's no evidence of any catastrophic 55 00:04:05,317 --> 00:04:09,253 cave-ins, so they were apparently extremely clever and 56 00:04:09,287 --> 00:04:10,888 knew their material. 57 00:04:10,922 --> 00:04:12,623 We're talking deep antiquity. 58 00:04:12,657 --> 00:04:15,927 It is mind boggling to understand how they could've 59 00:04:15,961 --> 00:04:17,262 done this. 60 00:04:17,296 --> 00:04:21,267 Perhaps they had help from some other civilization. 61 00:04:21,301 --> 00:04:25,572 But just who built this massive underground city? 62 00:04:25,606 --> 00:04:30,611 And what mysterious force drove them to live underground? 63 00:04:30,612 --> 00:04:33,914 Why would people want to live deep 64 00:04:33,948 --> 00:04:38,285 underground in these weird caverns like that? 65 00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:41,721 It seems kind of scary, really. 66 00:04:41,722 --> 00:04:46,292 According to many archaeologists and scholars, 67 00:04:46,326 --> 00:04:49,795 Derinkuyu was most likely intended to serve as a 68 00:04:49,829 --> 00:04:54,300 temporary shelter from invasion... built around 800 b.C. 69 00:04:54,334 --> 00:04:59,973 By the Phrygians, a bronze age people related to the trojans. 70 00:05:00,007 --> 00:05:03,810 Others believe it was built by the hittites, a warrior people 71 00:05:03,845 --> 00:05:08,483 mentioned in the Bible who flourished hundreds of years earlier. 72 00:05:08,517 --> 00:05:11,987 But could the underground city be even older? 73 00:05:12,021 --> 00:05:17,492 According to ancient astronaut theorists, it is, perhaps by 74 00:05:17,526 --> 00:05:19,594 many thousands of years. 75 00:05:19,595 --> 00:05:23,797 The Cappadocia region of Turkey was part of the zoroastrian 76 00:05:23,831 --> 00:05:27,367 empire, which was persian in nature. 77 00:05:27,368 --> 00:05:33,973 And it's one of the oldest religious traditions on the face of the Earth. 78 00:05:34,007 --> 00:05:37,544 The zoroastrian religion... an ancient faith 79 00:05:37,578 --> 00:05:41,581 based on opposing forces of good and evil... is widely 80 00:05:41,615 --> 00:05:44,818 believed to have influenced both hinduism and 81 00:05:44,852 --> 00:05:47,354 judeo-christianity. 82 00:05:47,388 --> 00:05:50,758 Founded sometime before the sixth century b.C., 83 00:05:50,792 --> 00:05:55,530 its chief God is the creator, Ahura Mazda. 84 00:05:55,564 --> 00:05:59,033 And in the second chapter of the zoroastrian sacred text, 85 00:05:59,068 --> 00:06:03,839 the Vendidad, Ahura Mazda saves mankind from a worldwide 86 00:06:03,873 --> 00:06:09,045 environmental disaster... much like the story of Noah in the 87 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:10,546 Hebrew testament. 88 00:06:10,581 --> 00:06:14,383 The great prophet Yima was instructed to build a 89 00:06:14,418 --> 00:06:19,621 kind of underground refuge similar to Derinkuyu by the sky 90 00:06:19,656 --> 00:06:21,757 God Ahura Mazda. 91 00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:27,763 According to the sacred texts, Yima built a 92 00:06:27,797 --> 00:06:31,466 multilevel underground city to protect a select group of 93 00:06:31,501 --> 00:06:38,041 people and animals, not from a flood but from a global ice age. 94 00:06:38,075 --> 00:06:42,713 The Vendidad calls this "the evil winters." 95 00:06:42,747 --> 00:06:46,750 According to many mainstream climatologists, the last ice 96 00:06:46,785 --> 00:06:53,056 age peaked around 18,000 years ago and ended around 10,000 b.C. 97 00:06:53,091 --> 00:06:57,894 Is it possible that Derinkuyu was built as a refuge from a 98 00:06:57,928 --> 00:06:59,896 devastating global winter? 99 00:07:03,033 --> 00:07:06,902 Since you cannot carbon date stone, it's 100 00:07:06,937 --> 00:07:10,638 anybody's guess how old Derinkuyu really is. 101 00:07:10,673 --> 00:07:16,111 And my question is: If we have a zoroastrian story that's very 102 00:07:16,145 --> 00:07:21,917 similar, could it be that both that place and Derinkuyu are 103 00:07:21,952 --> 00:07:27,089 much, much older than what we've believed so far? 104 00:07:27,123 --> 00:07:30,859 But if Derinkuyu is in fact the underground 105 00:07:30,893 --> 00:07:35,031 city that Ahura Mazda told his followers to build, could there 106 00:07:35,065 --> 00:07:38,601 be a stunning truth behind the legend? 107 00:07:38,636 --> 00:07:44,640 If so, who or what was the God Ahura Mazda? 108 00:07:44,674 --> 00:07:47,810 Ahura Mazda does appear to be responsible for 109 00:07:47,844 --> 00:07:52,114 the management of whatever is happening here on Earth. 110 00:07:52,149 --> 00:07:54,850 There are various ways to read this, one of which is that it 111 00:07:54,885 --> 00:07:59,021 does represent some sort of higher universal form of consciousness. 112 00:07:59,056 --> 00:08:01,825 But another is that it would represent an overseeing 113 00:08:01,859 --> 00:08:04,161 extraterrestrial intelligence. 114 00:08:07,532 --> 00:08:10,835 Several sacred texts from antiquity 115 00:08:10,869 --> 00:08:14,504 speak of knowledge given to mankind from extraterrestrials, 116 00:08:14,539 --> 00:08:18,075 but also known as gods from antiquity. 117 00:08:18,076 --> 00:08:21,812 Could the sky God Ahura Mazda really have been an 118 00:08:21,846 --> 00:08:25,015 advanced being from another world? 119 00:08:25,049 --> 00:08:28,718 So, did he provide the technology needed for his 120 00:08:28,752 --> 00:08:32,188 followers to build this complex labyrinth as protection from 121 00:08:32,222 --> 00:08:34,991 environmental disaster? 122 00:08:35,026 --> 00:08:42,967 Or is there possibly a more ominous reason for Derinkuyu's existence? 123 00:08:43,002 --> 00:08:46,672 Some say a clue lies in the underground city's unusual 124 00:08:46,706 --> 00:08:51,877 security system: 1,000-pound doors on rollers that allow 125 00:08:51,911 --> 00:08:57,015 them to be moved by a single person, but only from one side. 126 00:08:57,050 --> 00:09:00,986 The Derinkuyu doors... they're very cleverly constructed. 127 00:09:01,021 --> 00:09:05,156 You can basically only open it and leverage it from the inside. 128 00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:09,827 So obviously, whoever inhabited Derinkuyu was 129 00:09:09,861 --> 00:09:14,832 hiding from someone or something. 130 00:09:14,866 --> 00:09:17,768 According to the ancient zoroastrian texts, 131 00:09:17,803 --> 00:09:22,774 Ahura Mazda soared through the sky in a divine chariot and 132 00:09:22,808 --> 00:09:29,549 waged war against his eternal enemy, Angra Mainyu, the demon of destruction. 133 00:09:29,583 --> 00:09:32,619 But could this really be-. As many ancient astronaut 134 00:09:32,653 --> 00:09:37,223 theorists believe... a depiction of two extraterrestrial forces 135 00:09:37,258 --> 00:09:41,228 battling over control of the Earth and its resources? 136 00:09:41,262 --> 00:09:44,831 The aerial enemies were extraterrestrials, 137 00:09:44,866 --> 00:09:50,002 because they were the ones who had the capability of flight. 138 00:09:50,036 --> 00:09:54,907 They had access to those types of machines that we can read 139 00:09:54,942 --> 00:10:00,179 about in every single ancient culture around the world. 140 00:10:00,213 --> 00:10:03,282 When you look at the zoroastrian tradition, you 141 00:10:03,317 --> 00:10:05,618 also see clear evidence that there was some sort of 142 00:10:05,652 --> 00:10:09,756 extraterrestrial battle going on between warring factions. 143 00:10:12,293 --> 00:10:15,262 Therefore, it is certainly possible that the original 144 00:10:15,296 --> 00:10:19,267 caves may have been used as shelters against possible 145 00:10:19,301 --> 00:10:22,271 aerial bombardment from extraterrestrials that were 146 00:10:22,305 --> 00:10:25,207 warring with each other during that time. 147 00:10:25,242 --> 00:10:29,112 Derinkuyu was built out of fear of an aerial 148 00:10:29,146 --> 00:10:34,216 enemy, because if something flies over you very, very fast, 149 00:10:34,251 --> 00:10:37,019 you can't see the ventilation shafts. 150 00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:43,792 Some suggest 30,000 people used to live underground at Derinkuyu. 151 00:10:45,929 --> 00:10:48,831 During recorded history, many different peoples 152 00:10:48,866 --> 00:10:52,902 did in fact hide in the underground city of Derinkuyu 153 00:10:52,937 --> 00:10:58,141 to escape everything from desert raiders to Roman legions. 154 00:10:58,175 --> 00:11:02,679 But some experts wonder whether such conventional attacks can 155 00:11:02,714 --> 00:11:06,149 really explain why Derinkuyu was built in the first place. 156 00:11:06,184 --> 00:11:10,254 If it were an enemy that was on horseback, 157 00:11:10,288 --> 00:11:15,258 it would be easy for them to just smother everyone inside by 158 00:11:15,293 --> 00:11:18,862 just closing all the ventilation shafts. 159 00:11:18,896 --> 00:11:21,331 We had the phrase in the defense 160 00:11:21,365 --> 00:11:24,100 department studies that I participated in: "The cave is a 161 00:11:24,134 --> 00:11:27,337 grave to a well-prepared "adversary." 162 00:11:27,371 --> 00:11:30,874 Once you find it, it is highly vulnerable. 163 00:11:30,908 --> 00:11:34,877 But did the people of Derinkuyu really go 164 00:11:34,911 --> 00:11:37,879 underground to avoid becoming casualties in an 165 00:11:37,914 --> 00:11:41,016 extraterrestrial battle in the skies? 166 00:11:41,050 --> 00:11:46,854 And, if so, might there be other such cities from the distant past? 167 00:11:46,889 --> 00:11:50,858 According to ancient astronaut theorists, there are. 168 00:11:50,893 --> 00:11:55,730 And they can be found much nearer to home... deep in the 169 00:11:55,764 --> 00:11:59,901 caves of the American southwest. 170 00:12:08,056 --> 00:12:11,026 The majestic mesas and rugged mountains of the 171 00:12:11,060 --> 00:12:16,732 American southwest are home to many native peoples, including 172 00:12:16,767 --> 00:12:26,242 the navajo, zuni, pueblo, hopi and Apache. 173 00:12:26,277 --> 00:12:30,080 These tribes have many different beliefs, but their 174 00:12:30,114 --> 00:12:35,285 creation myths all share something quite remarkable. 175 00:12:35,286 --> 00:12:38,121 When we talk about our origin, you know, you hear 176 00:12:38,155 --> 00:12:42,926 the stories about us coming down from Alaska through the Bering strait. 177 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,763 But what we believe is we came up from the ground. 178 00:12:47,798 --> 00:12:51,033 The Apaches and other pueblo Indians, such as 179 00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:56,672 the Zunis and the hopi Indians, all have this legend that they 180 00:12:56,706 --> 00:13:04,146 emerged from some underground world into today's world. 181 00:13:07,249 --> 00:13:11,152 In some legends, the southwestern peoples went 182 00:13:11,186 --> 00:13:15,122 back underground for safety. 183 00:13:15,156 --> 00:13:20,695 The hopi of Arizona say their ancestors escaped a deadly 184 00:13:20,729 --> 00:13:27,803 storm of falling stars with the help of the snake people, who 185 00:13:27,837 --> 00:13:32,141 took them to shelters deep in the Earth. 186 00:13:32,175 --> 00:13:37,747 Another hopi legend speaks of the ant people who protected 187 00:13:37,782 --> 00:13:42,051 them from storms of fire and ice. 188 00:13:42,086 --> 00:13:46,821 The hopi Indians survived cataclysms by living 189 00:13:46,856 --> 00:13:50,925 in this underground world with the ant people for a certain 190 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,696 period of time, and then eventually they emerged from 191 00:13:54,730 --> 00:13:58,232 the underground world back into the surface world. 192 00:13:58,266 --> 00:14:01,169 Ant people?

196 00:14:13,815 --> 00:14:17,184 Or could the ancestors of today's southwestern tribes 197 00:14:17,219 --> 00:14:20,722 have taken refuge in sub-surface dwellings similar 198 00:14:20,756 --> 00:14:24,793 to the underground city of Derinkuyu in Turkey?

279 00:20:24,116 --> 00:20:27,951 Perhaps the answer can be found in the story of an Italian 280 00:20:27,985 --> 00:20:32,088 catholic missionary named father Crespi, who lived in the 281 00:20:32,123 --> 00:20:35,392 region in the middle of the last century. 282 00:20:35,393 --> 00:20:38,028 Father Paolo Carlo Crespi. 283 00:20:38,062 --> 00:20:41,431 He was loved by the Indians.

446 00:32:13,596 --> 00:32:17,632 According to the Popol Vuh, the written record of Mayan 447 00:32:17,667 --> 00:32:21,536 mythology, the underworld kingdom of Xibalba, meaning 448 00:32:21,571 --> 00:32:26,308 "the place of fear," was ruled by the cruel lords of the dead, 449 00:32:26,342 --> 00:32:30,078 who made those who entered their realm pass through a series 450 00:32:30,113 --> 00:32:36,252 of torture chambers, involving blood, darkness, cold, knives, 451 00:32:36,286 --> 00:32:39,488 bats and jaguars. 452 00:32:42,592 --> 00:32:46,563 We see here in this one archaeological spot an 453 00:32:46,597 --> 00:32:50,667 actual physical representation of what the Mayans felt the soul 454 00:32:50,702 --> 00:32:52,702 had to go through. 455 00:32:52,703 --> 00:32:56,038 Might, perhaps, this cave of stalactites, sharp 456 00:32:56,073 --> 00:32:59,508 enough to pierce flesh, represent the "room of knives" 457 00:32:59,543 --> 00:33:01,576 in the Popol Vuh? 458 00:33:01,611 --> 00:33:05,380 There is also, arguably, a "room of bats," and a trench 459 00:33:05,414 --> 00:33:08,516 that might once have been filled with blood, like the 460 00:33:08,551 --> 00:33:13,187 river of blood in the story that Mayan pilgrims had to cross over. 461 00:33:13,222 --> 00:33:20,062 There are places of cold and darkness... and even a room with carvings of jaguars. 462 00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:25,202 These caves were littered with large patches of 463 00:33:25,236 --> 00:33:29,106 spiders and reptiles and all types of tumultuous things that 464 00:33:29,140 --> 00:33:32,610 a human really wouldn't want to be exposed to. 465 00:33:32,645 --> 00:33:36,080 Although some archaeologists claim this 466 00:33:36,115 --> 00:33:39,384 unique site was simply modeled after the description of 467 00:33:39,418 --> 00:33:43,221 Xibalba in the Popol Vuh, de Anda insists that items from 468 00:33:43,254 --> 00:33:47,122 the cave date back to a time centuries before the Mayan holy 469 00:33:47,157 --> 00:33:50,091 book was written. 470 00:33:50,126 --> 00:33:53,094 It's not that there was this document and 471 00:33:53,129 --> 00:33:57,099 they, uh, tried to, uh, imitate what the document said. 472 00:33:57,133 --> 00:34:00,335 I think it's all the other way around. 473 00:34:00,370 --> 00:34:04,406 We believe that we have found the particular Xibalba of the 474 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,408 central part of the Yucat�n. 475 00:34:06,443 --> 00:34:11,147 This is why we do believe it was a real place. 476 00:34:11,181 --> 00:34:17,651 But if Xibalba is real, were the lords of the dead also real? 477 00:34:17,686 --> 00:34:22,188 And if so, who or what were they? 478 00:34:22,189 --> 00:34:26,424 According to the Chilam Balam book, which is the 479 00:34:26,459 --> 00:34:30,194 book of the Jaguar priests, it says in there, that at that 480 00:34:30,228 --> 00:34:37,134 time "the road to the stars descended from the sky, and the 481 00:34:37,168 --> 00:34:42,573 "13 and nine gods came to Earth." 482 00:34:42,574 --> 00:34:43,641 I'm sorry. 483 00:34:43,675 --> 00:34:46,210 "Road to the stars," "descended from the sky." 484 00:34:46,244 --> 00:34:47,444 Can it be more clear? 485 00:34:47,479 --> 00:34:48,712 I don't think so. 486 00:34:48,747 --> 00:34:52,150 Right there we have a direct reference to someone that has 487 00:34:52,184 --> 00:34:57,621 arrived from outer space, and we have a written record about this. 488 00:34:57,655 --> 00:35:02,324 Could the "lords of Xibalba" and other Mayan gods 489 00:35:02,359 --> 00:35:07,428 really have been extraterrestrial travelers? 490 00:35:07,462 --> 00:35:14,167 If so, why did they display such a thirst for blood and torture? 491 00:35:14,168 --> 00:35:18,204 I do not believe human sacrifice was originally taught by the ets. 492 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,341 I believe it came in the aftermath of when the original 493 00:35:21,375 --> 00:35:25,645 teachers of humankind had arrived. 494 00:35:25,646 --> 00:35:29,382 The ancient gods, which were really just humans from 495 00:35:29,416 --> 00:35:35,153 another world, withdrew from the area, and the people became distraught. 496 00:35:35,187 --> 00:35:39,157 The more they became distraught, the more they took 497 00:35:39,191 --> 00:35:43,794 the original mythology and interpreted it in a much more literal way. 498 00:35:43,829 --> 00:35:47,164 So what might have started out as the myth about the sun dying 499 00:35:47,198 --> 00:35:50,801 and being reborn when it sinks below the horizon, becomes 500 00:35:50,835 --> 00:35:54,470 literally the idea of killing people to make sure that the 501 00:35:54,505 --> 00:35:57,640 sun is gonna come back up. 502 00:35:57,674 --> 00:36:00,809 As archaeologists and explorers continue to 503 00:36:00,843 --> 00:36:05,580 ununcover sites where legend and reality meet, could there be 504 00:36:05,614 --> 00:36:09,717 even more evidence that mankind's history on this planet 505 00:36:09,751 --> 00:36:14,421 is much more profound than what we currently understand? 506 00:36:14,455 --> 00:36:19,559 There are those who believe the secret lies even deeper within the Earth... 507 00:36:19,593 --> 00:36:23,229 As deep as its very core. 508 00:36:31,583 --> 00:36:35,819 The north pole... a seemingly endless wasteland of 509 00:36:35,853 --> 00:36:41,925 arctic ice, shrouded in darkness for six months of every year. 510 00:36:41,959 --> 00:36:46,529 Here, there is no food, no shelter, not even a cave to 511 00:36:46,563 --> 00:36:49,932 hide from the slashing winds and temperatures that can dive 512 00:36:49,967 --> 00:36:53,569 to 90 degrees below zero. 513 00:36:53,570 --> 00:36:57,774 But according to mainstream geology, beneath the pole and 514 00:36:57,809 --> 00:37:05,049 the arctic ocean lies the Earth's mostly rocky crust, up to 30 miles thick. 515 00:37:05,084 --> 00:37:08,586 Below this is molten rock, heated by the planet's spinning 516 00:37:08,620 --> 00:37:14,860 core, with a solid center of iron and nickel the size of the moon. 517 00:37:14,861 --> 00:37:17,829 Scientists have deduced this information from measurements 518 00:37:17,863 --> 00:37:23,602 of Earth's gravity, magnetism and seismic waves. 519 00:37:23,636 --> 00:37:28,005 But no one has ever seen these areas. 520 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:32,610 Could the frozen surface of the pole be hiding a gateway to a 521 00:37:32,644 --> 00:37:37,448 world within our surface world? 522 00:37:37,483 --> 00:37:42,520 There are those who believe the answer is, "yes." 523 00:37:44,490 --> 00:37:49,794 And what they believe is known as the hollow Earth theory. 524 00:37:49,795 --> 00:37:56,869 The hollow Earth theory is that, this Earth is not molten inside. 525 00:37:56,870 --> 00:38:00,139 It is actually hollow, and that suspended in the hollow of the 526 00:38:00,173 --> 00:38:02,775 Earth is an inner sun. 527 00:38:04,644 --> 00:38:07,813 Surprisingly, the notion of a hollow Earth was 528 00:38:07,847 --> 00:38:11,617 first given scientific credence by one of the founders of 529 00:38:11,652 --> 00:38:14,020 modern astronomy. 530 00:38:14,055 --> 00:38:17,724 The idea that the Earth might be hollow, as a 531 00:38:17,758 --> 00:38:21,827 scientific notion, dates back to the astronomer Edmund Halley 532 00:38:21,862 --> 00:38:26,066 who is best known for his comet. 533 00:38:26,067 --> 00:38:31,872 In 1691 he presented to the London royal society his 534 00:38:31,906 --> 00:38:37,144 hypothesis that the Earth is hollow and contains several 535 00:38:37,178 --> 00:38:39,746 little spheres inside. 536 00:38:39,747 --> 00:38:43,818 Sort of like those Russian Matryoshska dolls. 537 00:38:43,852 --> 00:38:48,056 He was hypothesizing this for a very practical reason. 538 00:38:48,090 --> 00:38:52,761 The Earth's magnetic pole moved a little bit every year to the 539 00:38:52,795 --> 00:38:59,000 west, and his idea was that our outer sphere had inner spheres 540 00:38:59,034 --> 00:39:03,037 that turned independently of the outer one. 541 00:39:03,071 --> 00:39:06,840 He also suggested that these interior spheres would also be 542 00:39:06,874 --> 00:39:10,743 able to support life. 543 00:39:10,778 --> 00:39:15,215 In 1818, former U.S. army Captain John Cleves 544 00:39:15,249 --> 00:39:19,854 Symmes, Jr., announced that there were vast openings at each 545 00:39:19,888 --> 00:39:24,025 pole where we could enter inner Earth. 546 00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:28,064 With Symmes, the idea of a hollow Earth gets tied 547 00:39:28,098 --> 00:39:30,900 into exploring for the pole. 548 00:39:30,935 --> 00:39:34,871 At this point, nobody had actually seen Antarctica, for instance. 549 00:39:34,905 --> 00:39:39,141 The hollow Earth theory again captured the 550 00:39:39,176 --> 00:39:44,146 public's imagination in 1864 with the release of Jules 551 00:39:44,180 --> 00:39:48,983 Verne's second novel, a journey to the center of the Earth. 552 00:39:49,018 --> 00:39:53,755 The novel takes an Icelandic guide and a Professor 553 00:39:53,789 --> 00:39:58,093 and a young man down into the center of the Earth. 554 00:39:58,128 --> 00:40:00,596 Journey to the center of the Earth could really have been 555 00:40:00,630 --> 00:40:03,733 called a journey to the center of geology. 556 00:40:03,767 --> 00:40:06,903 Geology and paleontology were a very hot topic in the early 557 00:40:06,938 --> 00:40:11,108 1860's and there's a lot of discussion of that in journey 558 00:40:11,143 --> 00:40:13,079 to the center of the Earth. 559 00:40:13,812 --> 00:40:16,647 Narrator but while Verne popularized the idea that 560 00:40:16,682 --> 00:40:20,184 extinct life forms might still exist inside the Earth, others 561 00:40:20,218 --> 00:40:25,789 envisioned that the Earth contained advanced underground civilizations. 562 00:40:25,824 --> 00:40:30,126 Supposedly, they have advanced technology. 563 00:40:30,161 --> 00:40:33,129 They've got ray guns and special weapons. 564 00:40:33,130 --> 00:40:38,668 And even they have flying saucers, other craft like that. 565 00:40:38,669 --> 00:40:42,639 But is there any evidence that such fantastic 566 00:40:42,674 --> 00:40:46,277 claims could be true? 567 00:40:44,309 --> 00:40:49,047 And has anyone actually been to the world within our Earth? 568 00:40:49,081 --> 00:40:52,050 Proponents of the hollow Earth theory say, "yes," and that 569 00:40:52,085 --> 00:40:55,787 one of the explorers was no less a luminary than famed 570 00:40:55,821 --> 00:40:59,657 polar pioneer admiral Richard e. Byrd. 571 00:40:59,691 --> 00:41:03,728 In the 1920s, byrd made world headlines by flying over the 572 00:41:03,762 --> 00:41:07,899 north pole, and by becoming the first man to fly solo over the 573 00:41:07,933 --> 00:41:10,134 South pole. 574 00:41:10,169 --> 00:41:14,071 But hollow Earth theorists believe that the famous 575 00:41:14,105 --> 00:41:21,144 explorer went even farther, and that, on February 19, 1947, 576 00:41:21,179 --> 00:41:24,214 admiral byrd piloted a plane through a hole near the north 577 00:41:24,248 --> 00:41:28,185 pole into the interior of the Earth. 578 00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:31,321 A flying saucer type craft took control of his 579 00:41:31,356 --> 00:41:37,762 airplane, with some kind of tractor beam... and they landed 580 00:41:37,796 --> 00:41:39,830 him near an inner Earth city. 581 00:41:39,865 --> 00:41:43,167 And the message that they had for us was that they consider 582 00:41:43,202 --> 00:41:47,739 themselves the guardians of this planet, okay? 583 00:41:47,774 --> 00:41:52,378 He says, "we don't approve of you people using nuclear weapons." 584 00:41:52,413 --> 00:41:56,282 We had just blown up a couple of cities in Japan a couple of 585 00:41:56,316 --> 00:42:02,354 years before, so this was the message that he was given. 586 00:42:02,389 --> 00:42:06,225 But when he got to Washington, they put a lid of secrecy on 587 00:42:06,259 --> 00:42:10,796 this, that this was not to go out. 588 00:42:10,830 --> 00:42:14,132 Some say admiral Byrd's own account of this 589 00:42:14,166 --> 00:42:18,369 flight into the hollow Earth is detailed in his secret diary, 590 00:42:18,404 --> 00:42:23,740 published in the 1990s, almost four decades after his death. 591 00:42:23,775 --> 00:42:28,745 But skeptics claim the diary is a forgery and point out that in 592 00:42:28,780 --> 00:42:33,082 February 1947, at the time admiral Byrd was supposedly 593 00:42:33,117 --> 00:42:37,286 visiting this other world underneath the north pole, 594 00:42:37,321 --> 00:42:42,225 he was actually part of a vast 4,700-man naval exploration 595 00:42:42,259 --> 00:42:44,427 called "operation high jump," 596 00:42:44,462 --> 00:42:49,399 12,000 Miles away, near the South pole. 597 00:42:49,434 --> 00:42:53,404 But could Byrd's inclusion in this large military operation 598 00:42:53,439 --> 00:42:58,143 at the South pole have been merely a cover story? 599 00:42:58,178 --> 00:43:02,916 Some people claim it was, and this allowed him to slip away 600 00:43:02,950 --> 00:43:07,821 to the other end of the planet, unnoticed by the media. 601 00:43:07,822 --> 00:43:10,291 Admiral Byrd, the rumor was, found a 602 00:43:10,326 --> 00:43:12,293 world of flying machines, and 603 00:43:12,327 --> 00:43:15,196 people, and... more advanced than us... 604 00:43:15,230 --> 00:43:18,466 And that they helped him, and then he left again. 605 00:43:18,467 --> 00:43:20,301 It's a myth. 606 00:43:20,335 --> 00:43:24,805 Nobody's really been able to prove it, but it's a great myth. 607 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,175 Could there really be vast, open spaces within the 608 00:43:28,209 --> 00:43:32,446 Earth where advanced civilizations live? 609 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:37,451 Could extraterrestrial gods really have come to Earth, 610 00:43:37,485 --> 00:43:40,454 centuries ago, and hidden the evidence of their journeys deep 611 00:43:40,488 --> 00:43:43,224 within caves and tunnels? 612 00:43:43,258 --> 00:43:46,193 Perhaps we have only just scratched the surface of our 613 00:43:46,228 --> 00:43:49,163 planet's underground mysteries. 614 00:43:49,197 --> 00:43:53,200 If so, what clues to our distant past might still be 615 00:43:53,235 --> 00:43:57,137 waiting to be found, and hiding in the darkness? 616 00:43:57,172 --> 00:43:58,439 sync by n17t01 www.addic7ed.com 54299
