These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:02,667 Otherworldly visitors 2 00:00:02,875 --> 00:00:04,375 who imparted knowledge. 3 00:00:04,542 --> 00:00:06,292 In many ancient cultures, 4 00:00:06,458 --> 00:00:08,792 it's the gods who show human beings 5 00:00:08,958 --> 00:00:10,667 how to use technology. 6 00:00:10,875 --> 00:00:12,625 Teachers who introduced mankind 7 00:00:12,792 --> 00:00:14,958 to Earth-changing innovations. 8 00:00:15,083 --> 00:00:17,833 They were master metalworkers 9 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,128 and they were born of the gods. 10 00:00:19,208 --> 00:00:21,833 And their presence 11 00:00:21,958 --> 00:00:24,208 altered the development of human civilization. 12 00:00:24,375 --> 00:00:27,833 They were sent here to observe the human race 13 00:00:28,042 --> 00:00:30,500 and guide them when it's needed. 14 00:00:31,542 --> 00:00:33,583 Could it be that, throughout history, 15 00:00:33,708 --> 00:00:38,500 our planet has been visited by teachers from the stars? 16 00:00:38,583 --> 00:00:44,000 Ancient cultures were very clear in saying 17 00:00:44,167 --> 00:00:47,292 someone came from the sky and taught them this stuff. 18 00:00:49,458 --> 00:00:51,667 There is a doorway 19 00:00:51,875 --> 00:00:54,375 in the universe. 20 00:00:54,583 --> 00:00:57,625 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 21 00:00:59,083 --> 00:01:01,125 It demands we question everything 22 00:01:01,292 --> 00:01:03,625 we have ever been taught. 23 00:01:03,792 --> 00:01:06,708 The evidence is all around us. 24 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,417 The future is right before our eyes. 25 00:01:11,542 --> 00:01:13,875 We are not alone. 26 00:01:14,042 --> 00:01:17,500 We have never been alone. 27 00:01:28,875 --> 00:01:30,333 Athens, Greece. 28 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,250 In the shadow of the Acropolis 29 00:01:34,417 --> 00:01:38,458 lie the ruins of an ancient temple called the Lyceum. 30 00:01:39,375 --> 00:01:41,667 More than 2,000 years ago, 31 00:01:41,792 --> 00:01:44,500 it served as a school of science and philosophy 32 00:01:44,708 --> 00:01:46,667 founded by Aristotle. 33 00:01:46,833 --> 00:01:50,667 Often referred to as the world's first teacher, 34 00:01:50,833 --> 00:01:52,583 Aristotle shared his wisdom 35 00:01:52,708 --> 00:01:55,500 on nearly every aspect of human knowledge, 36 00:01:55,667 --> 00:01:57,792 from biology to ethics 37 00:01:57,958 --> 00:02:00,208 and rhetoric to mathematics. 38 00:02:01,083 --> 00:02:02,833 But according to Aristotle, 39 00:02:03,042 --> 00:02:06,167 much of his knowledge came from an even greater teacher, 40 00:02:06,333 --> 00:02:09,375 one who was known only to him. 41 00:02:11,208 --> 00:02:14,333 There was one idea from Aristotle that was fascinating, 42 00:02:14,458 --> 00:02:16,375 that was new, that was different. 43 00:02:16,542 --> 00:02:19,375 It was the idea of a personal guiding spirit. 44 00:02:20,875 --> 00:02:23,000 He called it the daemonium. 45 00:02:23,167 --> 00:02:26,542 These ideas that would come from unseen sources. 46 00:02:26,708 --> 00:02:29,958 Some later theologies called them guardian angels. 47 00:02:30,125 --> 00:02:31,833 These weren't exactly gods. 48 00:02:31,917 --> 00:02:34,333 They were like personal advisors. 49 00:02:35,333 --> 00:02:36,667 Across the planet, 50 00:02:36,833 --> 00:02:39,583 ancient people wrote about mysterious entities 51 00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:42,833 or godlike beings who taught them the skills they needed 52 00:02:43,042 --> 00:02:45,542 to establish their civilizations. 53 00:02:46,917 --> 00:02:48,667 Most of us, when we grow up, 54 00:02:48,833 --> 00:02:51,750 have our parents as teachers, our family members as teachers. 55 00:02:53,333 --> 00:02:55,333 We go to school. We have human teachers. 56 00:02:55,542 --> 00:02:58,333 But there's this idea that, in the ancient world, 57 00:02:58,542 --> 00:03:00,958 the ultimate teachers aren't just human beings 58 00:03:01,083 --> 00:03:02,917 but the divine. 59 00:03:03,042 --> 00:03:07,917 Many cultures and civilizations have attribution myths. 60 00:03:09,042 --> 00:03:10,500 How did we get what we have? 61 00:03:10,667 --> 00:03:13,042 Many of them attribute it to gods, 62 00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:14,625 to teacher gods 63 00:03:14,792 --> 00:03:17,333 who come and gift humanity 64 00:03:17,542 --> 00:03:19,333 with the various things that we need 65 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:21,958 in order to build civilizations. 66 00:03:26,417 --> 00:03:28,087 While the passing down of knowledge 67 00:03:28,167 --> 00:03:30,125 by otherworldly teachers 68 00:03:30,250 --> 00:03:33,167 is often interpreted as merely mythological, 69 00:03:33,292 --> 00:03:36,000 ancient astronaut theorists suggest 70 00:03:36,167 --> 00:03:37,875 the ubiquity of these stories 71 00:03:38,042 --> 00:03:40,833 points to a more profound explanation. 72 00:03:42,042 --> 00:03:43,375 Are all these ancient stories 73 00:03:43,583 --> 00:03:46,125 just a figment of our ancestors' imagination? 74 00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:49,708 Or is there a kernel of truth? 75 00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:53,875 The ancient astronaut theory teaches that, at some point, 76 00:03:54,042 --> 00:03:58,500 our ancestors received knowledge under the instruction 77 00:03:58,625 --> 00:04:02,250 of visiting flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials, 78 00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:05,375 whom our ancestors misinterpreted 79 00:04:05,542 --> 00:04:08,750 as divine spiritual gods. 80 00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:14,083 Accounts of otherworldly beings teaching humans 81 00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:17,000 date back to the beginning of recorded history, 82 00:04:17,208 --> 00:04:20,125 starting with the world's first civilization, 83 00:04:20,250 --> 00:04:21,667 the Sumerians. 84 00:04:22,625 --> 00:04:26,000 Emerging in Mesopotamia over 6,000 years ago, 85 00:04:26,208 --> 00:04:30,875 the Sumerians were the first people to develop agriculture, 86 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,667 the wheel 87 00:04:32,875 --> 00:04:34,833 and a written language. 88 00:04:34,958 --> 00:04:36,667 And according to their texts, 89 00:04:36,875 --> 00:04:38,667 they attributed all of this knowledge 90 00:04:38,833 --> 00:04:42,000 to divine teachers who came down from the heavens 91 00:04:42,167 --> 00:04:44,958 known as the Anunnaki. 92 00:04:45,083 --> 00:04:47,042 In the Sumerian tradition, 93 00:04:47,208 --> 00:04:49,125 Enlil, you know, one of the gods, 94 00:04:49,292 --> 00:04:50,833 teaches human beings about agriculture, 95 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,042 teaches human beings how to plow into the ground 96 00:04:54,208 --> 00:04:55,833 and plant seeds. 97 00:04:56,042 --> 00:04:59,917 It's the gods who show human beings how to use technology, 98 00:05:00,083 --> 00:05:01,792 how to create this technology. 99 00:05:02,875 --> 00:05:07,250 The Anunnaki instruct humanity in the various arts and sciences 100 00:05:07,417 --> 00:05:09,458 and rudimentary knowledge about civilization 101 00:05:09,625 --> 00:05:11,333 and how to conduct themselves. 102 00:05:11,542 --> 00:05:13,667 And this is the origin of the Sumerians. 103 00:05:13,833 --> 00:05:15,417 This is where they got their knowledge. 104 00:05:15,583 --> 00:05:16,917 This is why they're the first 105 00:05:17,083 --> 00:05:19,292 with all of their discoveries and inventions. 106 00:05:19,458 --> 00:05:21,667 And it comes from the Anunnaki. 107 00:05:23,542 --> 00:05:25,500 The Sumerian pantheon of gods 108 00:05:25,667 --> 00:05:30,042 also includes a mysterious figure known as Oannes. 109 00:05:31,333 --> 00:05:34,333 Oannes was the first bringer of knowledge, 110 00:05:34,542 --> 00:05:37,167 especially mathematics. 111 00:05:37,375 --> 00:05:40,125 And what's so interesting about Oannes is that, 112 00:05:40,292 --> 00:05:43,083 during the day, he would be among the people 113 00:05:43,250 --> 00:05:45,833 and teach various disciplines of science. 114 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,708 And then, at night, he would disappear into the water. 115 00:05:50,875 --> 00:05:55,750 Is it possible that our ancestors really were taught 116 00:05:55,917 --> 00:05:58,708 by some sort of an amphibious being 117 00:05:58,833 --> 00:06:01,708 that initially descended from the sky? 118 00:06:03,208 --> 00:06:06,250 Could it be that the stories of the Anunnaki 119 00:06:06,417 --> 00:06:08,292 are not mythological 120 00:06:08,458 --> 00:06:11,583 but eyewitness accounts of extraterrestrial visitors 121 00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:14,958 who shared their knowledge in the distant past? 122 00:06:15,167 --> 00:06:17,333 Perhaps further clues can be found 123 00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:19,625 by examining ancient traditions 124 00:06:19,833 --> 00:06:23,000 that have carried through to the present day. 125 00:06:26,167 --> 00:06:28,167 Shaanxi Province, China. 126 00:06:28,333 --> 00:06:31,000 April 5, 2019. 127 00:06:33,875 --> 00:06:35,750 At the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, 128 00:06:35,875 --> 00:06:38,083 thousands of people gather to watch 129 00:06:38,250 --> 00:06:40,708 a traditional dragon dance. 130 00:06:40,833 --> 00:06:43,458 The dragon dance is an ancient ceremony, 131 00:06:43,625 --> 00:06:45,745 which for thousands of years has been a representation 132 00:06:45,875 --> 00:06:49,125 of the dragons coming from the sky and returning to the sky. 133 00:06:50,333 --> 00:06:52,708 The ceremony in Shaanxi celebrates 134 00:06:52,875 --> 00:06:56,792 the deity considered to be the father of all Chinese people, 135 00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:58,083 the Yellow Emperor, 136 00:06:58,250 --> 00:07:01,833 who lived nearly 5,000 years ago. 137 00:07:02,042 --> 00:07:03,833 The Yellow Emperor is, 138 00:07:04,042 --> 00:07:05,792 one of the earliest, 139 00:07:05,958 --> 00:07:08,583 mythical or semi-mythical rulers of China. 140 00:07:08,792 --> 00:07:13,042 He is held in extremely high regard even today 141 00:07:13,208 --> 00:07:15,542 by the Chinese people. 142 00:07:15,708 --> 00:07:20,667 The Yellow Emperor gave his subjects the lunar calendar, 143 00:07:20,833 --> 00:07:22,667 mathematics, 144 00:07:22,875 --> 00:07:24,833 advanced houses, 145 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,375 writing systems, 146 00:07:27,542 --> 00:07:30,667 astronomy and a variety of other elements 147 00:07:30,833 --> 00:07:33,167 that really form the basis for Chinese culture. 148 00:07:33,333 --> 00:07:35,500 According to legend, 149 00:07:35,625 --> 00:07:37,833 after the Yellow Emperor shared his knowledge, 150 00:07:38,042 --> 00:07:41,708 he left the planet to return to his celestial home. 151 00:07:42,708 --> 00:07:45,083 We Find that, at the end of his life, 152 00:07:45,250 --> 00:07:48,667 he sees this dragon come down 153 00:07:48,875 --> 00:07:52,000 and he literally climbs aboard it 154 00:07:52,125 --> 00:07:55,417 and is taken bodily into heaven. 155 00:07:55,625 --> 00:07:57,583 So what's going on here? 156 00:07:57,750 --> 00:08:00,167 Is it possible that that dragon 157 00:08:00,333 --> 00:08:03,583 could be what we refer to today as a UFO? 158 00:08:03,750 --> 00:08:07,667 Some kind of craft that we can see 159 00:08:07,792 --> 00:08:10,958 in terms of an extraterrestrial vehicle. 160 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,083 Is it possible that Chinese civilization 161 00:08:15,250 --> 00:08:18,333 was established with the help of an extraterrestrial visitor 162 00:08:18,500 --> 00:08:21,625 who came to Earth in the distant past? 163 00:08:21,792 --> 00:08:24,833 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 164 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,917 and suggest that figures like the Yellow Emperor and Oannes 165 00:08:29,083 --> 00:08:32,583 were only the first teachers to influence mankind. 166 00:08:32,750 --> 00:08:35,625 As evidence, they point to stories 167 00:08:35,792 --> 00:08:38,500 associated with a technological innovation 168 00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:42,000 that changed the course of human history... 169 00:08:42,167 --> 00:08:45,167 the mastery of metal. 170 00:08:49,875 --> 00:08:51,087 According to archaeologists, 171 00:08:51,167 --> 00:08:53,208 roughly 6,000 years ago, 172 00:08:53,375 --> 00:08:56,917 there was a sudden advancement in our technological ability 173 00:08:57,125 --> 00:09:01,750 as civilizations began to manipulate metal. 174 00:09:03,208 --> 00:09:07,417 Metallurgy was a tremendous step forward for humankind. 175 00:09:07,583 --> 00:09:09,833 Although stone had been extraordinarily useful 176 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,542 for hundreds of thousands of years, 177 00:09:11,708 --> 00:09:14,875 once metal becomes very widespread, 178 00:09:15,042 --> 00:09:16,962 then you have mass production of all different kinds of tools 179 00:09:17,042 --> 00:09:19,833 and weapons and plowshares and so on. 180 00:09:20,042 --> 00:09:22,667 So a very, very profound impact on human development. 181 00:09:24,375 --> 00:09:27,833 A key breakthrough was the creation of bronze, 182 00:09:27,958 --> 00:09:31,667 a metal alloy that consists of copper and tin. 183 00:09:31,833 --> 00:09:34,542 The development of bronze is a whole new ballgame. 184 00:09:34,708 --> 00:09:37,125 It's harder, it's less brittle 185 00:09:37,250 --> 00:09:39,090 and you can make all kinds of wonderful things, 186 00:09:39,208 --> 00:09:40,542 particularly weapons, 187 00:09:40,667 --> 00:09:42,625 slashing swords and things like that. 188 00:09:44,208 --> 00:09:47,625 Curiously, archaeological evidence suggests 189 00:09:47,750 --> 00:09:50,000 that civilizations across the globe 190 00:09:50,167 --> 00:09:53,250 started making bronze around the same time. 191 00:09:53,375 --> 00:09:57,833 The development of metallurgy was intriguing, 192 00:09:57,958 --> 00:10:00,542 because, right about the same period, 193 00:10:00,750 --> 00:10:04,208 that technology sprang up all over the world 194 00:10:04,375 --> 00:10:05,542 in different cultures. 195 00:10:05,708 --> 00:10:07,708 What does that tell us? 196 00:10:07,875 --> 00:10:11,333 It tells us that this has to be taught. 197 00:10:11,500 --> 00:10:13,000 Who taught them? 198 00:10:13,167 --> 00:10:15,792 According to mainstream historians, 199 00:10:15,958 --> 00:10:17,917 this technological breakthrough 200 00:10:18,083 --> 00:10:21,667 was simply the result of human ingenuity. 201 00:10:21,833 --> 00:10:24,500 But ancient astronaut theorists believe 202 00:10:24,583 --> 00:10:28,417 there may be a more profound explanation. 203 00:10:28,542 --> 00:10:31,542 And they point to mythologies around the world 204 00:10:31,708 --> 00:10:34,625 that claim the knowledge of how to work with metals 205 00:10:34,833 --> 00:10:37,708 was taught by otherworldly beings, 206 00:10:37,875 --> 00:10:40,667 like a mysterious group in ancient Greece 207 00:10:40,833 --> 00:10:43,500 known as the Telchines. 208 00:10:43,625 --> 00:10:44,962 In the ancient Greek mythologies, 209 00:10:45,042 --> 00:10:47,000 there is the so-called Telchines, 210 00:10:47,167 --> 00:10:51,167 who were some of the earliest metalsmith workers 211 00:10:51,333 --> 00:10:53,667 of celestial origin 212 00:10:53,875 --> 00:10:58,833 that taught the ancient Greeks how to make swords, 213 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000 and, essentially, how to work metal. 214 00:11:02,208 --> 00:11:04,667 The Telchines were chimeric beings. 215 00:11:04,833 --> 00:11:07,125 They're part human, part fish, 216 00:11:07,292 --> 00:11:10,333 and they made all the magical implements and technologies 217 00:11:10,458 --> 00:11:11,792 of the Greek stories. 218 00:11:12,833 --> 00:11:15,375 The Telchines were born of the gods, 219 00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:18,125 and they were even said to have created 220 00:11:18,292 --> 00:11:20,750 the trident of Poseidon 221 00:11:20,917 --> 00:11:23,000 and the sickle of Cronus. 222 00:11:23,125 --> 00:11:25,833 And they were kind of master technologists 223 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,917 as well as working with metal. 224 00:11:28,042 --> 00:11:32,708 The ancient Greeks were very clear in saying 225 00:11:32,833 --> 00:11:34,833 someone came from the sky... 226 00:11:35,042 --> 00:11:36,917 in this case, it was the Telchines... 227 00:11:37,083 --> 00:11:40,750 that actually then spent time 228 00:11:40,917 --> 00:11:43,500 with the ancient Greeks and taught them this stuff. 229 00:11:43,625 --> 00:11:47,083 Accounts of divine beings who shared the secrets 230 00:11:47,208 --> 00:11:50,542 of the forge can be found across the globe. 231 00:11:50,708 --> 00:11:56,333 In Egypt, the god Ptah spread knowledge about metalworking. 232 00:11:56,500 --> 00:12:00,083 Kanayago instructed the ancient people of Japan. 233 00:12:00,208 --> 00:12:03,625 And in Celtic lore, smithcraft was taught 234 00:12:03,792 --> 00:12:05,833 by the Tuatha Dé Danann, 235 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,208 advanced beings who arrived in Ireland on cloud ships. 236 00:12:10,417 --> 00:12:12,833 According to the ancient astronaut theory, 237 00:12:13,042 --> 00:12:15,833 all of these ancient cultures 238 00:12:15,917 --> 00:12:18,667 from all continents around the world 239 00:12:18,875 --> 00:12:22,167 were, in fact, visited by the same extraterrestrials. 240 00:12:23,208 --> 00:12:26,958 Is it possible that early civilizations across the globe 241 00:12:27,125 --> 00:12:31,000 were taught how to work metal by otherworldly visitors? 242 00:12:31,208 --> 00:12:33,583 According to ancient astronaut theorists, 243 00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:35,708 support for this notion can be found 244 00:12:35,917 --> 00:12:38,208 not only in myths and legends 245 00:12:38,333 --> 00:12:42,375 but also in physical evidence that was recently retrieved 246 00:12:42,542 --> 00:12:46,125 from the bottom of the ocean. 247 00:12:48,292 --> 00:12:51,542 January 2015. 248 00:12:51,708 --> 00:12:54,208 One mile off the coast of Sicily, 249 00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:58,833 archeologists excavate a 2,600-year-old shipwreck. 250 00:12:58,958 --> 00:13:03,708 They uncover an ancient treasure trove of 39 metal ingots. 251 00:13:03,875 --> 00:13:06,958 Spectrographic analysis reveals the metal 252 00:13:07,167 --> 00:13:11,583 is a mysterious alloy unlike anything ever seen before. 253 00:13:12,583 --> 00:13:15,667 It's not gold, although it looks a lot like gold. 254 00:13:15,833 --> 00:13:18,333 It's not your typical bronze alloy, 255 00:13:18,458 --> 00:13:21,083 although it behaves a lot like bronze. 256 00:13:21,208 --> 00:13:25,833 It has a very beautiful shine, and it's an uncommon metal. 257 00:13:26,042 --> 00:13:30,500 These ingots are made of five different metals. 258 00:13:30,625 --> 00:13:33,500 We have copper, we have iron, 259 00:13:33,667 --> 00:13:37,875 nickel, lead and zinc. 260 00:13:38,042 --> 00:13:39,795 What's interesting about this is 261 00:13:39,875 --> 00:13:42,958 zinc only occurs in nature as sphalerite. 262 00:13:43,125 --> 00:13:45,792 It's a zinc sulfur complex. 263 00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:47,833 In order to create zinc, 264 00:13:48,042 --> 00:13:51,833 you have to actually process the zinc out of this sulfide. 265 00:13:52,042 --> 00:13:54,375 They didn't have that technology back then. 266 00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:56,580 We didn't have zinc until about a thousand years ago, 267 00:13:56,708 --> 00:13:58,458 and this is 2,600 years old. 268 00:13:58,583 --> 00:14:02,333 Scientists were astounded to discover 269 00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:05,167 that this advanced alloy had been produced 270 00:14:05,292 --> 00:14:08,583 centuries before humans are thought to have had the ability 271 00:14:08,792 --> 00:14:11,542 to manipulate elements like zinc into metals. 272 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:13,958 And they were even more surprised 273 00:14:14,125 --> 00:14:16,500 when they found that the ingots closely matched 274 00:14:16,667 --> 00:14:20,167 a legendary metal described by the Greek philosopher Plato 275 00:14:20,375 --> 00:14:26,042 in the fourth century BC called orichalcum. 276 00:14:26,250 --> 00:14:30,500 Orichalcum is a very precious metal 277 00:14:30,667 --> 00:14:34,667 that is talked about in the accounts of Atlantis, 278 00:14:34,792 --> 00:14:40,000 written by Plato as early as 350 BC. 279 00:14:40,208 --> 00:14:44,333 It was second up in value to gold itself, 280 00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:48,167 and that a large part of the city of Atlantis 281 00:14:48,333 --> 00:14:51,667 was actually covered in orichalcum. 282 00:14:52,667 --> 00:14:56,000 According to Plato, the Temple of Poseidon in Atlantis 283 00:14:56,167 --> 00:14:58,333 was covered with orichalcum, 284 00:14:58,542 --> 00:15:01,333 that the interior walls and floors were lined with it, 285 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:03,833 and that it gleamed red and white light. 286 00:15:04,042 --> 00:15:06,792 According to Plato's story, 287 00:15:06,875 --> 00:15:10,333 the Greek god Cadmus, grandson of Poseidon, 288 00:15:10,458 --> 00:15:13,375 came down from Mount Olympus and gave orichalcum 289 00:15:13,542 --> 00:15:15,542 to the people of Atlantis. 290 00:15:15,667 --> 00:15:17,208 Cadmus is 291 00:15:17,375 --> 00:15:21,250 one of the legendary founders of Greek civilization. 292 00:15:21,375 --> 00:15:23,208 And quite clearly, 293 00:15:23,375 --> 00:15:29,292 he was a very inspired alchemist or smithy 294 00:15:29,458 --> 00:15:31,292 who had this knowledge 295 00:15:31,458 --> 00:15:34,208 of how to create this divine metal. 296 00:15:35,208 --> 00:15:38,000 It's quite interesting, really, that here is this, 297 00:15:38,083 --> 00:15:41,750 what people thought was a mythological metal, 298 00:15:41,875 --> 00:15:44,708 that Plato, you know, had just kind of made up 299 00:15:44,875 --> 00:15:46,667 as part of his Atlantis story. 300 00:15:46,792 --> 00:15:51,833 And yet, we are finding ingots of this metal in shipwrecks. 301 00:15:52,042 --> 00:15:54,375 How amazing is that? 302 00:15:54,542 --> 00:15:58,625 People have kind of gone crazy about this over the years. 303 00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:02,167 They suggest this could be evidence of Atlantis itself. 304 00:16:03,792 --> 00:16:05,750 Could this mysterious alloy, 305 00:16:05,958 --> 00:16:08,000 found off the coast of Sicily, 306 00:16:08,208 --> 00:16:11,500 be proof that humans were shown how to manipulate metal 307 00:16:11,708 --> 00:16:15,833 by otherworldly beings thousands of years ago? 308 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 309 00:16:19,125 --> 00:16:22,208 and suggest that further evidence can be found 310 00:16:22,375 --> 00:16:24,792 in accounts of people who communicated 311 00:16:24,958 --> 00:16:29,167 with extraterrestrial teachers face-to-face. 312 00:16:36,750 --> 00:16:39,542 A Bedouin shepherd exploring a cave 313 00:16:39,708 --> 00:16:42,042 13 miles east of Jerusalem 314 00:16:42,208 --> 00:16:44,875 comes across hundreds of ancient parchments. 315 00:16:45,083 --> 00:16:49,083 Known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the documents contain 316 00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:52,208 the oldest versions of the Bible ever discovered. 317 00:16:52,375 --> 00:16:55,958 Among them is a controversial text 318 00:16:56,125 --> 00:16:59,958 that describes an encounter between a man named Enoch 319 00:17:00,125 --> 00:17:02,917 and a mysterious group of otherworldly teachers 320 00:17:03,042 --> 00:17:05,708 called the watchers. 321 00:17:05,875 --> 00:17:08,458 Enoch was the great prophet 322 00:17:08,625 --> 00:17:10,500 of the Book of Genesis. 323 00:17:10,667 --> 00:17:15,000 It was he that encountered the watchers. 324 00:17:16,500 --> 00:17:17,792 And it was said 325 00:17:17,958 --> 00:17:21,292 that they gave the sciences of heaven, 326 00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:24,333 the rudiments of civilization. 327 00:17:24,458 --> 00:17:26,917 Enoch referred to these people, 328 00:17:27,083 --> 00:17:29,667 whoever they are, as the watchers. 329 00:17:31,042 --> 00:17:33,042 Now, the watchers were actually a group of beings 330 00:17:33,208 --> 00:17:35,333 that we refer to as angels, 331 00:17:35,458 --> 00:17:40,125 that were specially sent here to observe the evolution 332 00:17:40,250 --> 00:17:44,250 of the human race and guide them when it's needed. 333 00:17:45,208 --> 00:17:48,417 The Book of Enoch is a first-hand account 334 00:17:48,583 --> 00:17:51,833 of the biblical patriarch's encounter with the watchers. 335 00:17:51,958 --> 00:17:54,333 According to the text, 336 00:17:54,500 --> 00:17:59,667 the watchers brought Enoch to heaven in a fiery chariot. 337 00:17:59,792 --> 00:18:01,167 The Book of Enoch 338 00:18:01,333 --> 00:18:04,167 was clearly an eyewitness account 339 00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:06,500 because he describes everything. 340 00:18:06,708 --> 00:18:09,125 "I, Enoch, did this." 341 00:18:09,292 --> 00:18:13,292 "I, Enoch, went there, and then, I saw this." 342 00:18:13,417 --> 00:18:17,292 Enoch was taken into that celestial realm 343 00:18:17,458 --> 00:18:21,792 and the watchers imparted certain knowledge to him. 344 00:18:21,958 --> 00:18:25,583 For example, the "angels" said to him, 345 00:18:25,708 --> 00:18:27,083 "Look out the window, 346 00:18:27,250 --> 00:18:29,667 "and see that you're looking at the Moon. 347 00:18:29,833 --> 00:18:34,500 The Moon has light, but it comes from the Sun." 348 00:18:34,708 --> 00:18:39,083 Well, this is deep astronomical knowledge 349 00:18:39,292 --> 00:18:43,333 which, at the time, really was not known. 350 00:18:43,500 --> 00:18:46,167 Now, you exchange the word "angels" 351 00:18:46,292 --> 00:18:50,083 with "extraterrestrials," and there you have your story. 352 00:18:51,667 --> 00:18:54,083 According to ancient Islamic texts, 353 00:18:54,208 --> 00:18:57,250 Enoch used his newfound knowledge to create 354 00:18:57,375 --> 00:19:01,875 a breathtaking monument that can still be seen to this day, 355 00:19:02,042 --> 00:19:04,208 the Great Pyramid of Giza. 356 00:19:04,375 --> 00:19:06,333 Conventional thinking 357 00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:12,125 says that the Great Pyramid was built by the pharaoh Cheops 358 00:19:12,333 --> 00:19:17,500 in around 2500 BC as his tomb. 359 00:19:17,708 --> 00:19:20,958 However, ancient accounts that we have 360 00:19:21,125 --> 00:19:24,250 from Arab writers and historians, 361 00:19:24,417 --> 00:19:27,042 like al-Maqrizi, tells us 362 00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:32,708 that the designer of the Great Pyramid was Idris. 363 00:19:32,917 --> 00:19:38,417 "Idris" is the Arabic form of the name "Enoch." 364 00:19:40,083 --> 00:19:41,833 Al-Maqrizi says that the pyramids 365 00:19:42,042 --> 00:19:43,458 were built by Enoch, 366 00:19:43,667 --> 00:19:46,292 who was tutored by the watcher angels 367 00:19:46,458 --> 00:19:48,833 who told him to come back down to Earth 368 00:19:49,042 --> 00:19:50,958 and build the pyramids as a repository 369 00:19:51,125 --> 00:19:52,833 for ancient knowledge. 370 00:19:52,958 --> 00:19:56,500 Enoch was educated by the extraterrestrials. 371 00:19:56,625 --> 00:19:59,708 He learned their language, they teached him 372 00:19:59,875 --> 00:20:01,875 in astronomy and in engineering. 373 00:20:02,042 --> 00:20:04,667 They dictated him technological stuff. 374 00:20:04,833 --> 00:20:08,000 How can you construct this, how can you measure this, 375 00:20:08,208 --> 00:20:11,000 how can you transport the stone blocks 376 00:20:11,208 --> 00:20:13,000 but with the knowledge and the teaching 377 00:20:13,167 --> 00:20:15,000 of extraterrestrials? 378 00:20:15,167 --> 00:20:18,167 The reality is, extraterrestrials were here 379 00:20:18,292 --> 00:20:20,167 thousands of years ago. 380 00:20:21,542 --> 00:20:24,625 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 381 00:20:24,792 --> 00:20:28,625 the Book of Enoch reveals that extraterrestrial teachers 382 00:20:28,792 --> 00:20:30,250 chose certain individuals 383 00:20:30,417 --> 00:20:33,208 to help disseminate knowledge to humankind. 384 00:20:33,375 --> 00:20:35,833 And they say further evidence of this 385 00:20:36,042 --> 00:20:40,708 can be found in the ancient Sanskrit texts of India. 386 00:20:44,708 --> 00:20:47,667 At the center of this sprawling metropolis 387 00:20:47,792 --> 00:20:51,208 is the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute. 388 00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:55,000 Its collection maintains the oldest known manuscripts 389 00:20:55,208 --> 00:20:56,792 of the Vedas, 390 00:20:56,958 --> 00:21:00,833 the religious texts that form the basis of Hinduism. 391 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,000 These sacred teachings are more than 8,000 years old, 392 00:21:06,125 --> 00:21:10,875 and Hindus believe they come directly from the gods. 393 00:21:12,333 --> 00:21:16,125 The word "Veda" means "knowledge" in Sanskrit. 394 00:21:16,292 --> 00:21:18,333 And so there is this close association 395 00:21:18,542 --> 00:21:21,000 with a special type of, 396 00:21:21,167 --> 00:21:24,792 wisdom or knowledge that is transmitted through the Vedas. 397 00:21:26,292 --> 00:21:29,542 Originally the Vedas were revealed by the gods 398 00:21:29,667 --> 00:21:33,250 to a certain class of spiritual elect. 399 00:21:34,333 --> 00:21:37,375 And the Vedas were transmitted orally 400 00:21:37,542 --> 00:21:40,667 from generation to generation for a very long time. 401 00:21:40,875 --> 00:21:44,500 The Vedas was part of the secret lore 402 00:21:44,667 --> 00:21:49,375 of Hinduism that would only be entrusted to the wisdom keepers, 403 00:21:49,542 --> 00:21:53,667 a very select body of scholars who would hold 404 00:21:53,875 --> 00:21:56,750 the powerful knowledge, sometimes called "Sitis," 405 00:21:56,917 --> 00:21:58,458 or spiritual powers, 406 00:21:58,625 --> 00:22:01,667 that the public might not be quite ready for. 407 00:22:02,708 --> 00:22:06,333 The Vedas and other ancient Sanskrit texts of India 408 00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,583 contain detailed passages that describe 409 00:22:09,708 --> 00:22:12,500 divine beings who descended from the sky 410 00:22:12,667 --> 00:22:15,708 and shared knowledge with a select group of people. 411 00:22:17,375 --> 00:22:21,125 The Vedas tell us that the gods taught humans how to chant, 412 00:22:21,292 --> 00:22:23,333 how to pray and to sing 413 00:22:23,500 --> 00:22:26,333 in order to communicate with the gods. 414 00:22:26,500 --> 00:22:30,000 The Vedas are filled with flying chariots, 415 00:22:30,167 --> 00:22:32,875 the so-called vimanas. 416 00:22:33,042 --> 00:22:36,000 There's a very interesting part in the Mahabharata 417 00:22:36,125 --> 00:22:37,833 where a King Revita actually 418 00:22:37,958 --> 00:22:41,583 visits the celestial palace of Brahma. 419 00:22:42,750 --> 00:22:46,000 Brahma was the Hindu creator god. 420 00:22:46,125 --> 00:22:47,917 Everything came from Brahma. 421 00:22:49,042 --> 00:22:53,375 And King Revita was actually taken into the heavens 422 00:22:53,542 --> 00:22:58,750 in a chariot to visit this gigantic palace. 423 00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:03,375 Similar encounters with mysterious teachers 424 00:23:03,542 --> 00:23:05,500 can be found in the traditions of 425 00:23:05,667 --> 00:23:07,958 many other ancient cultures across the world. 426 00:23:09,208 --> 00:23:12,542 In Buddhism, Emperor Ashoka consulted 427 00:23:12,750 --> 00:23:15,833 with a secret society called "the nine unknown men," 428 00:23:15,958 --> 00:23:19,292 who possess the knowledge of the universe. 429 00:23:19,458 --> 00:23:22,667 Similar societies existed in ancient Egypt, 430 00:23:22,792 --> 00:23:25,333 and the ideas were only taught 431 00:23:25,542 --> 00:23:28,500 on a very selective basis. 432 00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:31,458 That is the connection of the ancient astronaut theory. 433 00:23:31,625 --> 00:23:34,875 It's not that they all, out of nowhere, 434 00:23:35,042 --> 00:23:36,500 came up with the same ideas. 435 00:23:36,625 --> 00:23:39,208 But according to the ancient legends 436 00:23:39,375 --> 00:23:42,292 and mythologies that our ancestors impart to us, 437 00:23:42,417 --> 00:23:46,417 they say that this knowledge was given to them 438 00:23:46,583 --> 00:23:50,125 by the so-called gods that descended from the sky. 439 00:23:51,542 --> 00:23:55,333 Is it possible that certain people were in direct contact 440 00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,667 with extraterrestrial teachers in the distant past? 441 00:23:58,875 --> 00:24:03,417 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest 442 00:24:03,625 --> 00:24:07,542 that this communication continues to this very day. 443 00:24:08,458 --> 00:24:09,833 And as evidence, 444 00:24:10,042 --> 00:24:12,667 they point to a 19th-century Russian noblewoman, 445 00:24:12,875 --> 00:24:15,833 whose claims of otherworldly teachers 446 00:24:15,958 --> 00:24:19,500 laid the foundation for what would become known as... 447 00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,833 the "ancient astronaut theory." 448 00:24:31,542 --> 00:24:33,375 Madame Helena Blavatsky 449 00:24:33,542 --> 00:24:37,125 founds a new group called the Theosophical Society, 450 00:24:37,292 --> 00:24:41,500 dedicated to researching and revealing the lost civilizations 451 00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:44,125 and forgotten wisdom of the ancient world. 452 00:24:45,708 --> 00:24:50,000 Madame Blavatsky was a very well-educated 453 00:24:50,167 --> 00:24:52,125 Russian aristocrat 454 00:24:52,250 --> 00:24:54,458 who had the goal of finding 455 00:24:54,625 --> 00:24:58,042 the unified field theory of religion. 456 00:24:58,250 --> 00:25:00,542 And she started gathering up 457 00:25:00,708 --> 00:25:03,583 all of these different traditions, 458 00:25:03,708 --> 00:25:07,333 and finding where they overlapped, 459 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,958 finding where they repeated each other, 460 00:25:10,125 --> 00:25:14,208 and coming up with a wisdom teaching, if you will. 461 00:25:14,375 --> 00:25:16,500 In the mid to late 1800s, 462 00:25:16,708 --> 00:25:20,000 this was a very popular movement. 463 00:25:20,125 --> 00:25:23,000 Theosophy means the wisdom of the gods. 464 00:25:24,167 --> 00:25:26,207 And the idea of the society is that they would study 465 00:25:26,375 --> 00:25:27,917 ancient wisdom. 466 00:25:28,042 --> 00:25:32,292 And one of the key aims of the Theosophical Society 467 00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:35,542 was the creation of a universal brotherhood, 468 00:25:35,708 --> 00:25:38,042 you know, regardless of race, creed, color. 469 00:25:40,167 --> 00:25:43,708 Before arriving in New York, Blavatsky traveled widely 470 00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:48,667 in Egypt and India, absorbing ancient esoteric knowledge. 471 00:25:48,875 --> 00:25:50,667 Madame Blavatsky becomes interested 472 00:25:50,833 --> 00:25:52,792 in the esoteric world as a teenager. 473 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,167 And then in her early adulthood goes off on these 474 00:25:55,292 --> 00:25:56,917 sort of grand adventures. 475 00:25:57,917 --> 00:25:59,542 Eventually, these adventures take her 476 00:25:59,750 --> 00:26:02,708 to India, and take her to Tibet. 477 00:26:02,875 --> 00:26:04,750 And throughout this process, 478 00:26:04,917 --> 00:26:08,292 she begins to communicate with 479 00:26:08,458 --> 00:26:11,583 intelligences that are referred to as 480 00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:14,708 mahatmas or Ascended Masters. 481 00:26:14,875 --> 00:26:18,417 She claimed that these Ascended Masters were actually 482 00:26:18,542 --> 00:26:20,833 the masters of civilizations that appeared 483 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,333 on planet Earth before the human race. 484 00:26:25,458 --> 00:26:27,833 And that they would give her knowledge, and she would use 485 00:26:28,042 --> 00:26:32,125 that knowledge to pass it on to individuals to guide them. 486 00:26:33,250 --> 00:26:35,833 They had developed to a higher state of consciousness 487 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,083 so they could communicate telepathically 488 00:26:38,250 --> 00:26:41,125 and cause things to materialize and things of that sort. 489 00:26:41,250 --> 00:26:46,167 In 1877, Madam Blavatsky published her ideas 490 00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:48,708 in the book Isis Unveiled. 491 00:26:48,875 --> 00:26:51,833 But rather than take credit, she claimed her knowledge 492 00:26:51,917 --> 00:26:54,292 came from an unseen source. 493 00:26:56,417 --> 00:26:59,458 One of the things that Helena Blavatsky taught 494 00:26:59,625 --> 00:27:02,375 was the idea of automatic writing. 495 00:27:03,625 --> 00:27:07,625 That meant that, in a meditative state, 496 00:27:07,750 --> 00:27:12,000 your hand was guided by the Ascended Masters. 497 00:27:12,208 --> 00:27:13,750 And you could write... not knowing what 498 00:27:13,958 --> 00:27:15,792 you wrote, but you could write, 499 00:27:15,958 --> 00:27:18,083 and what you wrote was 500 00:27:18,250 --> 00:27:20,292 the instruction from the ancient masters. 501 00:27:22,375 --> 00:27:25,208 It is said that she wrote her entire first book, 502 00:27:25,375 --> 00:27:28,750 Isis Unveiled, with her eyes closed as automatic writing. 503 00:27:28,917 --> 00:27:31,625 She was the channel that brought forth this information. 504 00:27:32,875 --> 00:27:34,875 According to Madame Blavatsky, 505 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,292 the Ascended Masters taught her about ancient civilizations 506 00:27:38,458 --> 00:27:41,875 and profound wisdom that had been lost to time. 507 00:27:42,875 --> 00:27:44,675 She wrote this notion that there were previous 508 00:27:44,792 --> 00:27:48,208 Atlantis, Lemuria, 509 00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:50,667 there's something called the Imperishable Land. 510 00:27:51,875 --> 00:27:54,333 She pushes back appearance of civilization 511 00:27:54,500 --> 00:27:57,000 much, much further back in time. 512 00:27:58,167 --> 00:28:01,042 According to Madame Blavatsky, Atlantis and Lemuria 513 00:28:01,208 --> 00:28:03,792 were destroyed in the flood of the Bible. 514 00:28:04,875 --> 00:28:07,792 And in many ways, her scenario 515 00:28:07,917 --> 00:28:11,500 of Earth and the past is very much 516 00:28:11,708 --> 00:28:13,792 a precursor to ancient astronaut theory, 517 00:28:13,917 --> 00:28:17,000 where she's also got gods from outer space. 518 00:28:18,500 --> 00:28:22,083 Many important figures joined the Theosophical Society, 519 00:28:22,292 --> 00:28:26,625 like Thomas Edison, Nobel Prize-winning poet W.B. Yeats, 520 00:28:26,750 --> 00:28:29,667 and civil war hero Abner Doubleday, 521 00:28:29,875 --> 00:28:31,833 who invented baseball. 522 00:28:33,208 --> 00:28:37,167 But Madame Blavatsky had a particularly profound influence 523 00:28:37,375 --> 00:28:41,625 on a young Indian law student named Mohandas Gandhi. 524 00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:46,042 Gandhi finds himself in Madam Blavatsky's salon 525 00:28:46,208 --> 00:28:50,750 in 1889, when he is a law student in London. 526 00:28:50,917 --> 00:28:54,792 And he is completely... not only captivated by her, 527 00:28:54,958 --> 00:28:57,958 but changed by his encounter with her. 528 00:28:58,042 --> 00:29:01,083 He was introduced to the Bhagavad Gita, one of 529 00:29:01,292 --> 00:29:03,708 the great works of his own nation, 530 00:29:03,833 --> 00:29:05,750 his own religion, by Madame Blavatsky. 531 00:29:05,917 --> 00:29:07,917 And it was actually through his introduction 532 00:29:08,083 --> 00:29:12,167 to the Bhagavad Gita that Gandhi developed "ahimsa," 533 00:29:12,375 --> 00:29:14,500 which is his philosophy of non-violence. 534 00:29:15,500 --> 00:29:19,083 Inspired in part by Blavatsky's teachings, 535 00:29:19,250 --> 00:29:23,000 the young lawyer would go on to become a civil rights activist. 536 00:29:23,208 --> 00:29:28,375 And in 1947, Mohandas Gandhi would lead India to independence 537 00:29:28,542 --> 00:29:30,125 from British rule. 538 00:29:30,250 --> 00:29:32,667 Gandhi, until the last day of his life, 539 00:29:32,875 --> 00:29:35,542 had nothing but good words to say about theosophy. 540 00:29:35,708 --> 00:29:38,625 Were the teachings of Madame Blavatsky a result of 541 00:29:38,750 --> 00:29:41,833 influence from mysterious Ascended Masters? 542 00:29:42,042 --> 00:29:45,875 And if so, who... or what... were they? 543 00:29:46,917 --> 00:29:49,000 Perhaps clues can be found by examining 544 00:29:49,208 --> 00:29:52,125 influential figures throughout history 545 00:29:52,292 --> 00:29:56,167 who received instructions from otherworldly beings. 546 00:29:56,375 --> 00:30:00,500 Across the planet, there were these specific areas 547 00:30:00,625 --> 00:30:05,167 where someone with... call it clairvoyant vision 548 00:30:05,333 --> 00:30:08,833 was able to communicate with an entity, 549 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,083 a supernatural entity. 550 00:30:11,250 --> 00:30:13,875 In Greece, it was the Oracle of Delphi. 551 00:30:15,208 --> 00:30:19,292 The Oracle of Delphi would go into a trance 552 00:30:19,500 --> 00:30:23,375 and channel messages from the god Apollo. 553 00:30:23,542 --> 00:30:27,958 People would go there... kings... if they wanted to go to war, 554 00:30:28,125 --> 00:30:31,083 if they wanted to change something. 555 00:30:32,667 --> 00:30:35,917 Otherworldly guidance also had a profound impact 556 00:30:36,125 --> 00:30:38,833 on the foundation of Buddhism. 557 00:30:39,042 --> 00:30:40,500 In Buddha's story, it's very clear 558 00:30:40,667 --> 00:30:43,333 that his meditation under the bo tree is what put him 559 00:30:43,500 --> 00:30:46,083 in communication with these otherworldly beings, 560 00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:48,375 and through which he received his inspiration. 561 00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:52,833 Buddhism itself completely changed India and Tibet, 562 00:30:53,042 --> 00:30:56,792 China, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia. 563 00:30:56,958 --> 00:31:00,625 And we have to wonder, you know, is meditation 564 00:31:00,792 --> 00:31:02,500 a way to connect to the gods?
