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?
565
00:31:03,625 --> 00:31:06,125
Could it be
that the Ascended Masters
566
00:31:06,250 --> 00:31:08,875
Madam Blavatsky claimed
to channel were part of
567
00:31:09,042 --> 00:31:12,667
a long line of
extraterrestrial teachers?
568
00:31:12,833 --> 00:31:15,417
And if so, what was their goal?
569
00:31:16,542 --> 00:31:19,333
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest these efforts
570
00:31:19,458 --> 00:31:22,125
are part of an
extraterrestrial agenda
571
00:31:22,292 --> 00:31:24,542
to usher in a new
era of humanity
572
00:31:24,708 --> 00:31:27,042
among the stars.
573
00:31:31,542 --> 00:31:33,458
Throughout
history, there are stories
574
00:31:33,583 --> 00:31:36,750
of otherworldly teachers
who have shared wisdom
575
00:31:36,917 --> 00:31:40,208
and altered the course
of human civilization.
576
00:31:41,125 --> 00:31:44,125
Could this still be
happening today?
577
00:31:44,292 --> 00:31:47,375
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes...
578
00:31:47,542 --> 00:31:51,000
and as evidence, they
point to a mysterious event
579
00:31:51,167 --> 00:31:53,917
that occurred in
Kingman, Arizona.
580
00:31:55,958 --> 00:31:58,833
On May 21, 1953,
581
00:31:59,042 --> 00:32:02,375
eyewitnesses reported
that a disc-shaped object
582
00:32:02,500 --> 00:32:05,167
crashed in the
desert outside the city.
583
00:32:06,042 --> 00:32:07,500
Two days later,
584
00:32:07,667 --> 00:32:10,250
government scientists
were bussed into the area
585
00:32:10,417 --> 00:32:13,083
to investigate the crashed UFO.
586
00:32:13,250 --> 00:32:15,958
When
they got there, it was nighttime.
587
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,250
There were MPs on
all corners of the craft.
588
00:32:21,625 --> 00:32:24,333
It's about a 40-foot-diameter
disc-shaped craft.
589
00:32:24,542 --> 00:32:27,625
It was perfectly intact,
there wasn't a scratch on it.
590
00:32:28,833 --> 00:32:31,375
According to
reports, the wreckage was sent
591
00:32:31,542 --> 00:32:33,667
to the top secret
military installation
592
00:32:33,792 --> 00:32:36,292
known as Area 51.
593
00:32:36,458 --> 00:32:40,542
And with the craft was a
survivor from the crash:
594
00:32:40,708 --> 00:32:45,000
an alien entity known as J-Rod.
595
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,542
J-Rod is an alien
596
00:32:47,708 --> 00:32:51,750
who allegedly worked at
Area 51 over a period of years.
597
00:32:53,125 --> 00:32:56,625
It was J-Rod's mission or duty
598
00:32:56,833 --> 00:32:59,625
to help reverse engineer
599
00:32:59,833 --> 00:33:02,625
technology that was, apparently,
600
00:33:02,833 --> 00:33:07,000
from the 1953 Kingman UFO crash.
601
00:33:08,083 --> 00:33:10,750
J-Rod was one of
the crash survivors
602
00:33:10,917 --> 00:33:14,667
and worked directly
with our own government.
603
00:33:15,833 --> 00:33:19,167
According to former
Air Force test pilot Bill Uhouse,
604
00:33:19,333 --> 00:33:22,167
J-Rod taught the U.S. military
605
00:33:22,292 --> 00:33:25,292
how to reverse engineer
alien technology.
606
00:33:25,458 --> 00:33:27,292
I called him J-Rod.
607
00:33:27,458 --> 00:33:30,458
That's the name that
the, the linguists gave him.
608
00:33:30,625 --> 00:33:34,167
And he talked, he would
talk, but he'd sound just like,
609
00:33:34,333 --> 00:33:36,167
if you spoke, he'd
sound like you.
610
00:33:36,333 --> 00:33:39,167
But he'd try and answer
your question, you know.
611
00:33:39,375 --> 00:33:41,458
Basically, it was only
612
00:33:41,667 --> 00:33:43,667
engineering advice
or science advice.
613
00:33:44,917 --> 00:33:46,250
In the years following
614
00:33:46,417 --> 00:33:50,000
the Kingman UFO
crash, scientists at Area 51
615
00:33:50,167 --> 00:33:53,792
developed some of the
military's greatest innovations,
616
00:33:53,917 --> 00:33:56,042
including stealth technology.
617
00:33:57,125 --> 00:33:59,083
Is it possible that
these breakthroughs
618
00:33:59,250 --> 00:34:02,417
were guided by an
extraterrestrial being?
619
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:06,958
The idea of UFO crashes
620
00:34:07,083 --> 00:34:09,500
and subsequent retrievals
by the government
621
00:34:09,667 --> 00:34:13,208
is central to the whole
UFO phenomenon.
622
00:34:13,375 --> 00:34:15,750
There are many such cases.
623
00:34:17,083 --> 00:34:20,833
Roswell, of course, 1947.
624
00:34:21,042 --> 00:34:25,375
The Kecksburg
incident from 1965.
625
00:34:26,875 --> 00:34:29,167
It's interesting to look
626
00:34:29,333 --> 00:34:32,167
at the sudden
explosion of technology
627
00:34:32,375 --> 00:34:34,042
just about at the time
628
00:34:34,208 --> 00:34:36,583
that these UFO crashes
were first reported.
629
00:34:37,708 --> 00:34:38,792
You see us go
630
00:34:38,958 --> 00:34:40,875
from propeller aircraft
631
00:34:41,042 --> 00:34:43,708
to space rockets
632
00:34:43,875 --> 00:34:46,125
in just a few short years.
633
00:34:47,208 --> 00:34:50,250
Are these
crashes possibly intentional?
634
00:34:50,417 --> 00:34:52,833
Could these be a
gift from the teachers,
635
00:34:53,042 --> 00:34:56,042
assisting us in recreating
636
00:34:56,208 --> 00:34:57,792
or disassembling this technology
637
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,792
and recreating it
in a human fashion?
638
00:35:01,375 --> 00:35:04,167
Is it possible
that extraterrestrials
639
00:35:04,333 --> 00:35:07,042
not only taught humanity
in the distant past
640
00:35:07,208 --> 00:35:10,667
but continue to share
knowledge with us today?
641
00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:13,667
And if so, why?
642
00:35:14,875 --> 00:35:15,878
There's many stories
643
00:35:15,958 --> 00:35:17,250
of people who've had contact
644
00:35:17,458 --> 00:35:19,792
with extraterrestrials
who tell us
645
00:35:19,917 --> 00:35:22,250
that they want to lift us up.
646
00:35:22,458 --> 00:35:25,333
They want us to know science
and technology like them.
647
00:35:26,375 --> 00:35:29,333
What's
interesting in all of these ancient
648
00:35:29,542 --> 00:35:32,875
but also modern encounters
with extraterrestrials,
649
00:35:33,083 --> 00:35:35,000
it seems that
there is an agenda.
650
00:35:35,208 --> 00:35:37,792
To me, one of the
most important things
651
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,083
that the universe has to offer
652
00:35:40,250 --> 00:35:43,458
is the spreading of
life and information.
653
00:35:43,583 --> 00:35:46,417
And this doesn't
happen by happenstance.
654
00:35:47,458 --> 00:35:49,000
It needs intelligence behind it.
655
00:35:49,125 --> 00:35:51,042
And so, ultimately,
656
00:35:51,208 --> 00:35:55,875
I think they, too, want
us to travel out there
657
00:35:56,042 --> 00:36:00,708
and impart knowledge or
spread out this information.
658
00:36:00,875 --> 00:36:03,833
Part of
ancient astronaut theory is that
659
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
our mission and goal
660
00:36:06,167 --> 00:36:10,167
and what our extraterrestrial
ancestors have wanted us to do
661
00:36:10,333 --> 00:36:12,417
is be like them.
662
00:36:12,542 --> 00:36:14,458
They want us to achieve
663
00:36:14,625 --> 00:36:17,042
the same things
that they achieved.
664
00:36:17,208 --> 00:36:20,000
They want us to be
a spacefaring nation.
665
00:36:20,167 --> 00:36:22,625
It's up to us to take
that message into our hearts
666
00:36:22,792 --> 00:36:25,250
and recognize that humanity
is on the precipice of actually
667
00:36:25,417 --> 00:36:29,667
being able now to colonize
our nearby star system.
668
00:36:29,792 --> 00:36:32,208
And with that comes
tremendous responsibility.
669
00:36:32,375 --> 00:36:35,000
Is it possible that humans are
670
00:36:35,125 --> 00:36:37,792
fulfilling an
extraterrestrial agenda?
671
00:36:37,917 --> 00:36:39,667
One that for thousands of years
672
00:36:39,875 --> 00:36:42,750
has been guided by
otherworldly teachers?
673
00:36:43,833 --> 00:36:46,417
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes
674
00:36:46,583 --> 00:36:50,208
and suggest evidence of
this can be found by examining
675
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:55,250
a recent discovery in
our own genetic code.
676
00:37:00,625 --> 00:37:02,167
According to anthropologists,
677
00:37:02,333 --> 00:37:04,542
approximately 50,000 years ago,
678
00:37:04,708 --> 00:37:07,958
humanity experienced
a rapid development
679
00:37:08,083 --> 00:37:10,500
in language, art and technology.
680
00:37:10,708 --> 00:37:13,583
Curiously, many
researchers believe
681
00:37:13,750 --> 00:37:17,083
that this was not only
the result of evolution
682
00:37:17,208 --> 00:37:19,500
but that the genes
of ancient humans
683
00:37:19,625 --> 00:37:21,667
went through a sudden change.
684
00:37:22,708 --> 00:37:25,125
There's a very
important transition that happened
685
00:37:25,333 --> 00:37:27,042
about 50,000 years ago
686
00:37:27,208 --> 00:37:28,712
that appears to have
been a genetic switch,
687
00:37:28,792 --> 00:37:31,833
that set apart a
huge gulf between us
688
00:37:32,042 --> 00:37:33,500
and our predecessors.
689
00:37:33,625 --> 00:37:36,458
Languages became more
complex and more creative.
690
00:37:36,625 --> 00:37:38,375
We see paintings that depict
691
00:37:38,542 --> 00:37:41,208
not just what's happening
around them but some sort
692
00:37:41,375 --> 00:37:45,042
of philosophical or esoteric
explanation of things.
693
00:37:46,250 --> 00:37:47,500
50,000 years ago,
694
00:37:47,667 --> 00:37:52,167
our brain volume
increased by 60%.
695
00:37:52,292 --> 00:37:54,000
That is something that,
696
00:37:54,208 --> 00:37:57,375
according to
Darwinian evolution,
697
00:37:57,542 --> 00:38:01,917
couldn't happen that quickly,
because evolution needs time.
698
00:38:02,042 --> 00:38:03,792
So, what happened?
699
00:38:03,958 --> 00:38:05,875
One of the basic tenets
700
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,375
of the ancient astronaut theory
701
00:38:07,542 --> 00:38:09,417
is that, long ago,
702
00:38:09,542 --> 00:38:12,667
extraterrestrials
finagled our DNA
703
00:38:12,833 --> 00:38:15,583
and essentially gave
us a bigger brain.
704
00:38:16,542 --> 00:38:18,417
The humans on this planet
705
00:38:18,542 --> 00:38:21,667
from the family of
apes, we are part of that,
706
00:38:21,875 --> 00:38:24,625
but we are also part
of extraterrestrials,
707
00:38:24,792 --> 00:38:27,917
because the extraterrestrials
changed the humans
708
00:38:28,083 --> 00:38:30,000
according their own image.
709
00:38:30,208 --> 00:38:31,750
We are a mixture
710
00:38:31,917 --> 00:38:34,833
of human evolution
and extraterrestrials.
711
00:38:36,042 --> 00:38:39,792
Is it possible that,
tens of thousands of years ago,
712
00:38:39,958 --> 00:38:44,625
human DNA was manipulated
by extraterrestrial beings?
713
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,167
And if so, did they design us
714
00:38:48,333 --> 00:38:51,333
to be like them so
that they could teach us
715
00:38:51,500 --> 00:38:53,500
and lead us towards becoming
716
00:38:53,667 --> 00:38:55,917
a technologically
advanced civilization?
717
00:38:56,958 --> 00:39:00,500
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that a distant memory
718
00:39:00,625 --> 00:39:03,292
of the genetic transformation
of the human race
719
00:39:03,417 --> 00:39:05,625
is preserved in
ancient writings.
720
00:39:07,917 --> 00:39:09,503
Beginning with
the Sumerian accounts
721
00:39:09,583 --> 00:39:11,833
of the Anunnaki,
who transformed us
722
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,167
by making us a hybrid being
and activating our intelligence,
723
00:39:16,292 --> 00:39:18,333
we have stories
all over the world
724
00:39:18,458 --> 00:39:20,375
of a similar situation where
725
00:39:20,542 --> 00:39:23,125
an otherworldly
being is responsible
726
00:39:23,292 --> 00:39:26,000
for a transformation
of humanity.
727
00:39:26,208 --> 00:39:30,000
In Greek
mythology, the god Prometheus is
728
00:39:30,208 --> 00:39:34,667
responsible for creating humans
and advancing our intelligence.
729
00:39:35,708 --> 00:39:38,417
The ancient Egyptians
credited the god Ptah
730
00:39:38,583 --> 00:39:40,167
with the same achievements.
731
00:39:41,375 --> 00:39:43,792
And in the Hebrew
Bible's Book of Genesis,
732
00:39:43,958 --> 00:39:46,375
Adam and Eve have a
mind-altering experience
733
00:39:46,542 --> 00:39:48,042
in the Garden of Eden
734
00:39:48,208 --> 00:39:51,417
when a serpent-like being
tempts Eve with an apple.
735
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:58,167
Eve comes along
and shares the apple with Adam,
736
00:39:58,333 --> 00:39:59,875
and all of a sudden,
737
00:40:00,042 --> 00:40:03,833
they both have this sort of
instantaneous awareness,
738
00:40:03,958 --> 00:40:06,208
this understanding of
who they are as humans
739
00:40:06,375 --> 00:40:08,458
and an understanding
of the world
740
00:40:08,625 --> 00:40:09,833
that they didn't have before.
741
00:40:11,208 --> 00:40:14,958
Is it possible
that the serpent of Eden is
742
00:40:15,083 --> 00:40:17,583
the memory of some
kind of higher intelligence,
743
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:19,792
some kind of teacher
744
00:40:19,958 --> 00:40:22,667
that was in touch
with our ancestors
745
00:40:22,833 --> 00:40:26,292
and that this story
became the foundation point
746
00:40:26,417 --> 00:40:28,958
of the Book of Genesis itself?
747
00:40:30,250 --> 00:40:34,000
Have otherworldly
teachers been fostering human progress
748
00:40:34,125 --> 00:40:35,667
for thousands of years,
749
00:40:35,875 --> 00:40:39,500
continuing right up
to the present day?
750
00:40:39,708 --> 00:40:41,458
And if these beings were
751
00:40:41,583 --> 00:40:44,333
responsible for
activating our intelligence,
752
00:40:44,500 --> 00:40:46,833
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,
753
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,250
could this evolution be
exactly what they intended
754
00:40:50,458 --> 00:40:52,833
for humanity all along?
755
00:40:53,833 --> 00:40:55,667
According to the
ancient astronaut theory,
756
00:40:55,833 --> 00:40:57,500
we are their offspring.
757
00:40:58,542 --> 00:41:00,833
They made us homo
sapiens sapiens
758
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:02,667
that we are today.
759
00:41:02,833 --> 00:41:05,333
If you have such a creation,
760
00:41:05,500 --> 00:41:08,125
I don't think you'd
would just abandon that.
761
00:41:08,292 --> 00:41:11,542
And in order for this
whole experiment to work,
762
00:41:11,708 --> 00:41:14,000
these extraterrestrials
then also would show up
763
00:41:14,167 --> 00:41:16,167
and be our teachers.
764
00:41:17,167 --> 00:41:20,333
And today is not the end of this
765
00:41:20,542 --> 00:41:23,167
because they want
to see our progress.
766
00:41:23,333 --> 00:41:25,375
It would not surprise me
767
00:41:25,542 --> 00:41:29,125
that they're here
and still enhancing us
768
00:41:29,292 --> 00:41:31,917
to ensure our future survival.
769
00:41:33,042 --> 00:41:34,625
Could it be that humans
770
00:41:34,750 --> 00:41:37,708
are part of an
extraterrestrial experiment,
771
00:41:37,875 --> 00:41:42,083
one that not only began with
the manipulation of our DNA
772
00:41:42,250 --> 00:41:45,708
but has been continued
by otherworldly teachers
773
00:41:45,875 --> 00:41:47,875
for thousands of years?
774
00:41:48,917 --> 00:41:52,333
Perhaps as new technology
allows us to venture deeper
775
00:41:52,458 --> 00:41:54,333
and deeper into space,
776
00:41:54,458 --> 00:41:56,958
we will fulfill an alien agenda
777
00:41:57,125 --> 00:41:59,958
that was set in motion
long ago...
778
00:42:00,958 --> 00:42:04,167
and become
extraterrestrial teachers
779
00:42:04,333 --> 00:42:05,875
ourselves.
780
00:42:06,042 --> 00:42:08,158
