Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,369 --> 00:00:04,242
NARRATOR: Ancient manuscripts
deliberately destroyed.
2
00:00:04,342 --> 00:00:07,214
Those books were
the history of our planet.
3
00:00:07,314 --> 00:00:08,984
NARRATOR:
Otherworldly encounters
4
00:00:09,118 --> 00:00:11,857
removed from religious texts.
5
00:00:11,957 --> 00:00:14,095
The Book of Enoch describes
6
00:00:14,195 --> 00:00:16,767
one of the first
abduction accounts.
7
00:00:16,868 --> 00:00:18,103
MICHAEL CARTER:
This type of information
8
00:00:18,203 --> 00:00:20,174
could not be put into the Bible.
9
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:22,144
It is too controversial.
10
00:00:22,211 --> 00:00:24,181
NARRATOR:
And technological insights
11
00:00:24,281 --> 00:00:26,452
misinterpreted as mythology.
12
00:00:26,587 --> 00:00:29,025
You have this
solar-powered ion thruster,
13
00:00:29,091 --> 00:00:32,331
and it's described
in the Sanskrit texts.
14
00:00:32,464 --> 00:00:35,805
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that written accounts
15
00:00:35,906 --> 00:00:38,645
of humanity's
extraterrestrial past
16
00:00:38,745 --> 00:00:41,015
have been intentionally hidden?
17
00:00:41,115 --> 00:00:43,320
And could there be signs
18
00:00:43,420 --> 00:00:47,028
that our true history
is about to come to light?
19
00:00:47,128 --> 00:00:51,235
ARIEL BAR TZADOK:
Ancient prophecy said that all of these secrets
20
00:00:51,336 --> 00:00:55,377
would be brought back to us,
and the truth will be revealed.
21
00:00:57,816 --> 00:00:59,987
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway
22
00:01:00,087 --> 00:01:02,793
in the universe.
23
00:01:02,926 --> 00:01:06,165
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
24
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:09,338
It demands
we question everything
25
00:01:09,438 --> 00:01:11,844
we have ever been taught.
26
00:01:11,944 --> 00:01:16,018
The evidence is all around us.
27
00:01:16,119 --> 00:01:19,659
The future is
right before our eyes.
28
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,165
We are not alone.
29
00:01:22,298 --> 00:01:26,105
We have never been alone.
30
00:01:33,955 --> 00:01:37,461
NARRATOR:
The Tigray highlands, Ethiopia.
31
00:01:37,562 --> 00:01:41,235
Here, 7,000 feet above sea level
32
00:01:41,335 --> 00:01:43,473
and clinging to the side
of a mountain,
33
00:01:43,574 --> 00:01:47,180
stands the
Abba Garima Monastery.
34
00:01:48,149 --> 00:01:50,555
This church is home
to one of Christianity's
35
00:01:50,655 --> 00:01:53,861
most ancient
and spectacular treasures:
36
00:01:53,961 --> 00:01:55,565
the Garima Gospels.
37
00:01:55,665 --> 00:01:59,338
Consisting of two
beautifully illustrated volumes,
38
00:01:59,472 --> 00:02:02,712
it has been dated
to the sixth century AD,
39
00:02:02,779 --> 00:02:07,488
making it one of the oldest and
most complete Bibles on Earth.
40
00:02:07,589 --> 00:02:12,598
JONATHAN YOUNG:
There is the very earliest Christian churches in Ethiopia.
41
00:02:12,698 --> 00:02:16,172
So there is this strong
connection to the ancient roots
42
00:02:16,272 --> 00:02:19,646
of Western civilization,
Western religion, in Ethiopia.
43
00:02:19,780 --> 00:02:22,653
NARRATOR:
Ethiopia's biblical connections
44
00:02:22,786 --> 00:02:25,825
- date back nearly 3,000 years.
- (rhythmic clapping)
45
00:02:25,958 --> 00:02:29,164
In the tenth century BC,
King Solomon,
46
00:02:29,231 --> 00:02:31,571
the builder of
the First Temple in Jerusalem
47
00:02:31,671 --> 00:02:34,075
and the keeper
of the Ark of the Covenant,
48
00:02:34,141 --> 00:02:37,381
was visited by Queen Makeda
of Ethiopia,
49
00:02:37,516 --> 00:02:40,921
also known
as the Queen of Sheba.
50
00:02:40,988 --> 00:02:43,595
YOUNG:
The Queen of Sheba, it is said,
51
00:02:43,695 --> 00:02:46,900
had a relationship with Solomon
and had a son.
52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,340
When he came of age,
he wanted to meet his father,
53
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,345
and his mother
blessed this journey
54
00:02:52,445 --> 00:02:55,350
up to Israel to meet Solomon.
55
00:02:55,450 --> 00:02:57,689
And he stayed for some time.
56
00:02:57,789 --> 00:03:00,895
And then some, uh, leaders
of the Jewish nation
57
00:03:01,029 --> 00:03:03,400
went back with him to Ethiopia.
58
00:03:03,501 --> 00:03:05,204
Because of this connection
59
00:03:05,304 --> 00:03:07,341
between the Queen of Sheba
and Solomon,
60
00:03:07,441 --> 00:03:10,480
there's a large
Jewish population in Ethiopia.
61
00:03:10,581 --> 00:03:14,121
There are many returnees
to the Holy Land, to Israel,
62
00:03:14,188 --> 00:03:18,130
from Ethiopia and other
nearby areas in Africa.
63
00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:21,703
Ethiopia is
an unusually holy place.
64
00:03:24,175 --> 00:03:28,918
NARRATOR:
Curiously, the Bible used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church
65
00:03:29,018 --> 00:03:32,959
differs from that of
other Christian denominations.
66
00:03:33,059 --> 00:03:35,330
Its version of the Old Testament
67
00:03:35,431 --> 00:03:39,873
includes a controversial text
known as the Book of Enoch.
68
00:03:39,973 --> 00:03:43,246
The Book of Enoch,
a very, very interesting,
69
00:03:43,346 --> 00:03:48,023
very ancient document,
which, uh, is only found
70
00:03:48,123 --> 00:03:49,826
in the language of Ge'ez,
71
00:03:49,926 --> 00:03:54,234
which is a sort of
Ethiopian early language,
72
00:03:54,334 --> 00:03:58,109
and has over a hundred chapters
in the full form.
73
00:03:58,209 --> 00:03:59,646
So in the Ethiopian Church,
74
00:03:59,746 --> 00:04:02,318
Enoch is considered an--
a canonical text.
75
00:04:02,451 --> 00:04:04,288
In other Christian traditions,
it is not.
76
00:04:04,421 --> 00:04:05,958
NARRATOR:
The author of the book,
77
00:04:06,058 --> 00:04:10,334
according to the text,
is the Jewish patriarch Enoch,
78
00:04:10,434 --> 00:04:13,005
the great-grandfather of Noah.
79
00:04:13,106 --> 00:04:16,012
Enoch is a biblical figure
mentioned
80
00:04:16,112 --> 00:04:18,717
in the Book of Genesis,
chapter five.
81
00:04:19,619 --> 00:04:21,222
What's interesting about Enoch
82
00:04:21,322 --> 00:04:25,096
is a tradition arose
that he never died.
83
00:04:25,197 --> 00:04:28,136
And this is because,
in Genesis 5:24,
84
00:04:28,236 --> 00:04:31,309
the text says that
Enoch walked with God,
85
00:04:31,409 --> 00:04:36,318
and then was no more
because God took him.
86
00:04:38,056 --> 00:04:42,197
NARRATOR:
But where the Hebrew Bible only mentions Enoch briefly,
87
00:04:42,298 --> 00:04:43,634
the Book of Enoch,
88
00:04:43,734 --> 00:04:46,239
which consists of
more than 100 chapters,
89
00:04:46,339 --> 00:04:49,045
greatly expands on his story.
90
00:04:49,145 --> 00:04:51,349
In it is a curious passage
91
00:04:51,449 --> 00:04:54,455
that details
Enoch's ascent to heaven.
92
00:04:54,556 --> 00:04:56,459
ERICH VON D รNIKEN:
According to the Book of Enoch,
93
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,465
he says he was 12 years old.
94
00:04:59,566 --> 00:05:01,837
The whole community
of his village wanted to sleep,
95
00:05:01,970 --> 00:05:04,241
but then they hear
the noise in the sky.
96
00:05:04,341 --> 00:05:05,511
(rumbling)
97
00:05:05,611 --> 00:05:07,682
Two angels
came down from the sky.
98
00:05:07,816 --> 00:05:11,623
One of the two beings said to
Enoch, "Don't be afraid, human."
99
00:05:11,757 --> 00:05:15,463
Then they went up
to the so-called heaven.
100
00:05:15,564 --> 00:05:17,467
WILLIAM HENRY:
And in the Book of Enoch, we learn
101
00:05:17,568 --> 00:05:20,908
Enoch himself is taken into
the heavens in a fiery chariot.
102
00:05:20,975 --> 00:05:23,614
VON D รNIKEN:
Enoch goes up to the so-called sky,
103
00:05:23,714 --> 00:05:27,020
and there, Enoch sees
something over the Earth
104
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,356
which he cannot describe.
105
00:05:28,489 --> 00:05:31,731
He has no word like
"spaceship" or something.
106
00:05:31,797 --> 00:05:34,869
He says it looked like
houses of crystal.
107
00:05:34,936 --> 00:05:36,439
(rumbling)
108
00:05:36,540 --> 00:05:38,511
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
It is described that he sees
109
00:05:38,577 --> 00:05:41,382
planet Earth underneath him.
110
00:05:41,482 --> 00:05:44,488
He actually describes
his arrival,
111
00:05:44,556 --> 00:05:47,929
how he has to walk through
these different rooms,
112
00:05:48,063 --> 00:05:49,899
where he sees jewels
113
00:05:49,999 --> 00:05:54,576
and he sees shiny surfaces
and blinking lights.
114
00:05:54,676 --> 00:05:56,847
It is an eyewitness account.
115
00:05:56,980 --> 00:05:58,884
It's: "I, Enoch, did this.
116
00:05:58,984 --> 00:06:00,555
I, Enoch saw that."
117
00:06:00,688 --> 00:06:04,696
The Book of Enoch is one of
the first abduction accounts
118
00:06:04,796 --> 00:06:08,537
written down
by a fellow human being.
119
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:11,476
NARRATOR:
Does the Book of Enoch
120
00:06:11,577 --> 00:06:15,483
really describe
an actual abduction event?
121
00:06:15,584 --> 00:06:19,559
One that took place
thousands of years ago?
122
00:06:19,626 --> 00:06:23,099
And if so, might this
incredible close encounter
123
00:06:23,199 --> 00:06:27,875
be documenting communication
with otherworldly beings?
124
00:06:29,245 --> 00:06:31,850
CARGILL:
Enoch, he was said to be at the right hand of God.
125
00:06:31,951 --> 00:06:35,390
In fact, Enoch was said to be
God's scribe in later tradition.
126
00:06:35,490 --> 00:06:37,562
So, God would decree things,
127
00:06:37,662 --> 00:06:39,331
and Enoch was the one
who recorded
128
00:06:39,431 --> 00:06:40,901
everything that went on.
129
00:06:42,638 --> 00:06:46,747
So, Enoch was the keeper
of all knowledge of heaven.
130
00:06:46,847 --> 00:06:49,085
HENRY:
This is one the reasons why the Book of Enoch
131
00:06:49,185 --> 00:06:50,487
is so controversial.
132
00:06:50,588 --> 00:06:52,324
He's taken up
into the heavenly realms,
133
00:06:52,457 --> 00:06:54,562
to the throne of God,
where he is given
134
00:06:54,662 --> 00:06:58,570
powerful universal knowledge
by angelic beings,
135
00:06:58,670 --> 00:07:01,710
or extraterrestrial beings.
136
00:07:01,810 --> 00:07:06,620
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
137
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,826
the Book of Enoch is one of
the most compelling texts
138
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:14,034
ever written documenting
extraterrestrial visitation.
139
00:07:14,134 --> 00:07:17,107
But it is far from unique.
140
00:07:17,174 --> 00:07:20,782
They say that similar encounters
were documented
141
00:07:20,882 --> 00:07:24,455
by many other ancient cultures,
lending support to the notion
142
00:07:24,556 --> 00:07:27,795
that Enoch's experiences
were genuine.
143
00:07:27,895 --> 00:07:32,672
We can find ancient texts
that speak of people
144
00:07:32,772 --> 00:07:35,611
ascending to heaven
and then coming back down.
145
00:07:35,712 --> 00:07:39,619
For example, in ancient Greece,
you have the story of Ganymede
146
00:07:39,719 --> 00:07:43,561
that was taken up
by Zeus's eagle.
147
00:07:43,627 --> 00:07:46,332
Also, in ancient China
148
00:07:46,432 --> 00:07:48,737
and in ancient Sumeria
149
00:07:48,837 --> 00:07:51,142
and, also, in ancient Egypt
150
00:07:51,242 --> 00:07:55,216
are there stories of people
having been visited
151
00:07:55,316 --> 00:07:57,454
or having gone up to the sky
152
00:07:57,555 --> 00:08:02,297
to visit with
the so-called gods, lowercase G.
153
00:08:02,397 --> 00:08:06,405
NARRATOR:
While these other accounts tell a similar story,
154
00:08:06,506 --> 00:08:08,443
none contain
the incredible detail
155
00:08:08,544 --> 00:08:11,449
found within the Book of Enoch.
156
00:08:11,583 --> 00:08:13,452
And some researchers believe
157
00:08:13,587 --> 00:08:16,125
that it was because of
this controversial content
158
00:08:16,259 --> 00:08:20,935
that the text was omitted
from most versions of the Bible.
159
00:08:21,035 --> 00:08:26,178
Not only do-do these texts
infer quite strongly,
160
00:08:26,278 --> 00:08:29,686
uh, the possibility
of extraterrestrial life,
161
00:08:29,786 --> 00:08:33,794
but they also show
a very different side of God.
162
00:08:33,927 --> 00:08:37,868
This type of information,
uh, these type of texts,
163
00:08:37,969 --> 00:08:40,541
this could not be
put into the Bible.
164
00:08:41,610 --> 00:08:43,079
TZADOK:
The sages of the time considered
165
00:08:43,146 --> 00:08:45,117
the teachings
of the Book of Enoch,
166
00:08:45,217 --> 00:08:47,120
if you will, too hot to handle.
167
00:08:47,220 --> 00:08:51,162
And therefore,
it fell along by the wayside,
168
00:08:51,228 --> 00:08:53,266
concealed and hidden.
169
00:08:54,335 --> 00:08:56,973
NARRATOR:
Is it possible the teachings of Enoch reveal
170
00:08:57,073 --> 00:09:00,882
that not all angelic encounters
were of a divine nature?
171
00:09:00,982 --> 00:09:04,622
Is this the secret
that has been kept alive
172
00:09:04,689 --> 00:09:07,193
in the Ethiopian version
of the Bible?
173
00:09:07,293 --> 00:09:11,102
For ancient astronaut theorists,
the Book of Enoch
174
00:09:11,202 --> 00:09:14,308
lies at the heart
of an extraterrestrial agenda
175
00:09:14,408 --> 00:09:18,517
that has been shaping human
history for thousands of years.
176
00:09:18,684 --> 00:09:22,156
And they suggest that
nowhere is this more evident
177
00:09:22,257 --> 00:09:27,568
than in the book's descriptions
of beings called the watchers.
178
00:09:33,312 --> 00:09:36,018
NARRATOR:
London, England. 1604.
179
00:09:36,119 --> 00:09:39,425
To end a dispute
in the Anglican Church,
180
00:09:39,526 --> 00:09:44,803
King James I orders the creation
of a standardized English Bible.
181
00:09:44,903 --> 00:09:48,810
Today, more than four centuries
after its creation,
182
00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:50,614
the King James Version
183
00:09:50,714 --> 00:09:53,654
remains the most famous Bible
in history
184
00:09:53,754 --> 00:09:57,494
and one of the most published
books of all time.
185
00:09:57,595 --> 00:10:01,435
Interestingly,
while it contains 66 books,
186
00:10:01,536 --> 00:10:04,308
the Catholic Bible has 73,
187
00:10:04,408 --> 00:10:09,519
and the Ethiopian Orthodox
version is comprised of 81.
188
00:10:09,619 --> 00:10:11,690
But why were so many texts,
189
00:10:11,790 --> 00:10:15,697
including the Book of Enoch,
edited out?
190
00:10:16,733 --> 00:10:20,908
There has always been
accepted literature,
191
00:10:21,008 --> 00:10:24,315
which becomes the foundation
of orthodoxy,
192
00:10:24,448 --> 00:10:26,920
and then there's
other literature
193
00:10:27,021 --> 00:10:31,228
that the accepted orthodoxy
rejects.
194
00:10:31,328 --> 00:10:34,100
Books that don't make it
into the collection
195
00:10:34,201 --> 00:10:36,105
of the Bible,
both the Hebrew Bible
196
00:10:36,205 --> 00:10:39,244
and the New Testament,
are the Apocrypha.
197
00:10:39,311 --> 00:10:41,750
JULYE BIDMEAD:
The word "apocrypha" means hidden things,
198
00:10:41,883 --> 00:10:43,587
and that's probably from
199
00:10:43,687 --> 00:10:46,058
the ancients
hiding these texts away
200
00:10:46,158 --> 00:10:49,498
from the general public
because they could be dangerous.
201
00:10:49,599 --> 00:10:51,869
NARRATOR:
Dangerous?
202
00:10:51,970 --> 00:10:54,041
Is it possible
that the Book of Enoch
203
00:10:54,141 --> 00:10:57,849
was omitted because it exposed
truths about human history
204
00:10:57,949 --> 00:11:01,155
that were considered too risky
for the public to know?
205
00:11:01,255 --> 00:11:06,332
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest insight can be found
206
00:11:06,432 --> 00:11:09,906
by examining a passage
in the Old Testament.
207
00:11:10,006 --> 00:11:12,210
We know from the Book of Daniel,
208
00:11:12,311 --> 00:11:16,318
in chapter four, that there is
a group of angelic entities,
209
00:11:16,385 --> 00:11:20,026
whose job, whose role it is
as ordained by God,
210
00:11:20,126 --> 00:11:23,199
to direct the affairs
of humanity.
211
00:11:23,265 --> 00:11:29,044
These angelic forces
look over our world
212
00:11:29,144 --> 00:11:33,954
and control the direction
of civilization.
213
00:11:34,054 --> 00:11:37,026
NARRATOR:
While this passage is brief,
214
00:11:37,093 --> 00:11:39,665
these beings serve
as the primary focus
215
00:11:39,765 --> 00:11:41,235
of the Book of Enoch,
216
00:11:41,368 --> 00:11:43,907
where they are described
as divine overseers
217
00:11:44,007 --> 00:11:46,178
known as the watchers.
218
00:11:46,312 --> 00:11:48,784
VON D รNIKEN:
Enoch calls them, in the English version,
219
00:11:48,851 --> 00:11:52,057
"guardians of the sky,"
or "watchers of the sky."
220
00:11:52,191 --> 00:11:55,665
In the German version,
they are called angels.
221
00:11:55,765 --> 00:11:58,737
No. It was simply an other time.
222
00:11:58,837 --> 00:12:00,707
Now we have a new time.
223
00:12:00,808 --> 00:12:03,647
Now we must translate it
with new words.
224
00:12:03,747 --> 00:12:05,918
Change the word of "angel."
225
00:12:06,018 --> 00:12:09,959
Scratch it out
and write "extraterrestrial."
226
00:12:10,059 --> 00:12:14,468
TZADOK:
These angels were not spiritual beings.
227
00:12:14,569 --> 00:12:15,972
They were physical beings.
228
00:12:16,038 --> 00:12:18,711
That is something very clear
229
00:12:18,811 --> 00:12:21,348
about the identity
of biblical angels.
230
00:12:21,448 --> 00:12:22,919
They're not of this world,
231
00:12:22,985 --> 00:12:25,323
and therefore,
they are not terrestrial,
232
00:12:25,423 --> 00:12:29,064
and therefore,
they are extraterrestrial.
233
00:12:29,164 --> 00:12:31,870
NARRATOR:
According to the Book of Enoch,
234
00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:35,778
a total of 200 watchers
descended to Earth.
235
00:12:35,878 --> 00:12:38,016
Enoch gives us
some of the names,
236
00:12:38,149 --> 00:12:43,560
but we know they were ruled
by Samyaza and Aza-- Azazel.
237
00:12:43,627 --> 00:12:47,000
Azazel was later known
as Lucifer.
238
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:51,141
HUGH NEWMAN:
The watchers had a very bright appearance,
239
00:12:51,208 --> 00:12:53,246
and one of their names
was "the Shining Ones,"
240
00:12:53,346 --> 00:12:56,920
and even Enoch, when he wrote
about them, he even said
241
00:12:57,020 --> 00:13:00,192
he could barely look at them
because they were so bright.
242
00:13:01,863 --> 00:13:05,369
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
243
00:13:05,469 --> 00:13:08,342
the idea that the watchers
were alien visitors
244
00:13:08,442 --> 00:13:10,413
is most strongly corroborated
by the stories
245
00:13:10,547 --> 00:13:13,821
of the prophet Elijah.
246
00:13:13,921 --> 00:13:15,390
TZADOK:
Aside from Enoch,
247
00:13:15,490 --> 00:13:17,728
there was one other
we know from the Bible
248
00:13:17,828 --> 00:13:20,534
who did ascend to heaven
in chariots of fire,
249
00:13:20,634 --> 00:13:22,337
whatever that is meaning,
250
00:13:22,404 --> 00:13:25,544
and this, of course,
is the famous prophet Elijah.
251
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:30,119
Elijah was a powerful,
powerful prophet
252
00:13:30,219 --> 00:13:35,063
who had abilities apparently far
beyond those of other prophets.
253
00:13:35,163 --> 00:13:38,069
Elijah possessed
a power cloak or a garment
254
00:13:38,135 --> 00:13:40,707
that gave him the-the ability
to heal the sick
255
00:13:40,807 --> 00:13:42,343
and even to raise the dead.
256
00:13:42,477 --> 00:13:46,085
And then, one day, he used
that power cloak or garment
257
00:13:46,185 --> 00:13:48,757
to ascend upon a fiery chariot.
258
00:13:48,857 --> 00:13:50,861
A chariot of the gods.
259
00:13:50,961 --> 00:13:54,100
And when Elijah ascended,
there were 50 prophets
260
00:13:54,234 --> 00:13:55,905
that witnessed his ascension.
261
00:13:56,005 --> 00:13:58,978
TZADOK:
The Bible calls it "chariot of fire."
262
00:13:59,111 --> 00:14:01,014
Now, what is this chariot?
263
00:14:01,148 --> 00:14:03,653
Was it some type
of a technological
264
00:14:03,753 --> 00:14:06,091
transportation device,
265
00:14:06,191 --> 00:14:09,064
which in ancient times
would not have been understood
266
00:14:09,164 --> 00:14:12,604
as anything else
but a chariot of fire?
267
00:14:13,807 --> 00:14:15,811
NARRATOR:
Curiously, while the idea
268
00:14:15,911 --> 00:14:17,347
of the soul ascending to heaven
269
00:14:17,447 --> 00:14:20,186
is a key component
of Judeo-Christian traditions,
270
00:14:20,286 --> 00:14:23,192
there are a number
of instances in the Bible
271
00:14:23,292 --> 00:14:26,132
where it is said
that a person ascends bodily.
272
00:14:26,232 --> 00:14:28,971
In addition to Enoch and Elijah,
273
00:14:29,071 --> 00:14:32,745
this is also the case with both
Jesus and his mother Mary.
274
00:14:32,845 --> 00:14:33,881
But why?
275
00:14:33,981 --> 00:14:36,553
If heaven is a spiritual realm,
276
00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:41,596
why is it written that certain
individuals ascended bodily?
277
00:14:42,665 --> 00:14:44,134
Neither Enoch nor Elijah
278
00:14:44,234 --> 00:14:46,371
ever claimed
that they were prophets.
279
00:14:46,438 --> 00:14:49,211
It was
the biblical writers later
280
00:14:49,311 --> 00:14:51,315
who claimed
that they're prophets.
281
00:14:51,415 --> 00:14:56,726
The reason why Enoch
ended up being called a prophet
282
00:14:56,859 --> 00:14:59,999
is because of
the experiences he had.
283
00:15:00,099 --> 00:15:05,142
He was taken up into space
by extraterrestrials.
284
00:15:05,242 --> 00:15:08,851
And we have
a similar story with Elijah.
285
00:15:08,951 --> 00:15:13,993
Enoch, Elijah, it-it's all part
286
00:15:14,093 --> 00:15:18,168
of the big concept
of misunderstood technology.
287
00:15:18,302 --> 00:15:22,244
NARRATOR:
If the watchers were, in fact, extraterrestrials,
288
00:15:22,344 --> 00:15:24,882
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest,
289
00:15:24,982 --> 00:15:27,888
did they have an agenda
for humankind?
290
00:15:28,088 --> 00:15:30,393
Perhaps further clues
can be found
291
00:15:30,493 --> 00:15:34,201
by examining another
ancient text attributed to Enoch
292
00:15:34,301 --> 00:15:39,612
that was almost entirely
destroyed: the Book of Giants.
293
00:15:45,122 --> 00:15:50,232
NARRATOR:
Qumran, Israel. 1947.
294
00:15:50,332 --> 00:15:52,538
20 miles east of Jerusalem,
295
00:15:52,638 --> 00:15:55,510
at this ancient site
in the Judean Desert,
296
00:15:55,611 --> 00:16:01,021
Bedouin shepherds stumble upon
an extraordinary discovery.
297
00:16:02,658 --> 00:16:06,364
BIDMEAD:
The Dead Sea is surrounded by caves.
298
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:09,171
And as young teenage boys
would do,
299
00:16:09,271 --> 00:16:11,175
they threw a rock into the cave,
300
00:16:11,275 --> 00:16:14,281
heard the sound
of breaking pots.
301
00:16:14,348 --> 00:16:17,588
Came back the next day,
climbed into the cave,
302
00:16:17,688 --> 00:16:18,990
and what did they find?
303
00:16:19,090 --> 00:16:20,995
They found huge clay jars.
304
00:16:21,095 --> 00:16:24,134
ANDREW COLLINS:
Inside these storage jars
305
00:16:24,201 --> 00:16:26,472
were ancient texts,
306
00:16:26,606 --> 00:16:28,910
which, very quickly,
they came to realize
307
00:16:29,010 --> 00:16:32,116
that these were
incredibly important.
308
00:16:32,951 --> 00:16:34,589
CARGILL:
In these scrolls,
309
00:16:34,689 --> 00:16:37,127
we find biblical manuscripts,
310
00:16:37,227 --> 00:16:39,464
copies of the Bible
that are a thousand years older
311
00:16:39,565 --> 00:16:42,504
than any previously known copy
of the Bible,
312
00:16:42,604 --> 00:16:45,911
as well as a treasure trove
of documents
313
00:16:46,011 --> 00:16:47,748
that we had never seen before.
314
00:16:49,752 --> 00:16:52,357
NARRATOR:
Archaeologists were surprised to find
315
00:16:52,424 --> 00:16:54,629
that whoever collected
the Dead Sea Scrolls
316
00:16:54,729 --> 00:16:58,302
considered the Book of Enoch
to be of vital importance,
317
00:16:58,403 --> 00:17:01,274
preserving
11 different manuscripts,
318
00:17:01,374 --> 00:17:05,750
including versions
never seen in modern times.
319
00:17:07,086 --> 00:17:09,290
Also found were
fragments of another work
320
00:17:09,390 --> 00:17:14,802
attributed to Enoch:
the Book of Giants.
321
00:17:14,902 --> 00:17:18,610
Some parts of this text
included in the Dead Sea Scrolls
322
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:22,752
had been lost for centuries,
and many scholars believe
323
00:17:22,852 --> 00:17:25,456
the stories contained
within the Book of Giants
324
00:17:25,557 --> 00:17:29,130
were written before
even the Book of Genesis.
325
00:17:30,734 --> 00:17:34,876
It expounds on Genesis 6,
verses one through four,
326
00:17:34,976 --> 00:17:36,946
when the story is-is begun
327
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,186
that the watchers
descended upon Earth
328
00:17:40,286 --> 00:17:44,061
and took wives from Earth women,
from human women,
329
00:17:44,161 --> 00:17:46,566
and their offspring were giants.
330
00:17:46,699 --> 00:17:49,337
COLLINS:
The Book of Giants is about the Nephilim,
331
00:17:49,437 --> 00:17:51,742
the sons of the watchers.
332
00:17:51,842 --> 00:17:55,917
It's about their lives,
uh, their conversations,
333
00:17:55,984 --> 00:18:01,094
and they realize
that they are evil.
334
00:18:02,965 --> 00:18:04,902
NARRATOR:
According to the Book of Giants,
335
00:18:05,002 --> 00:18:08,208
the Nephilim were guilty
of horrific crimes,
336
00:18:08,309 --> 00:18:12,618
including slaughtering humans
and feasting on their flesh.
337
00:18:12,718 --> 00:18:16,525
God ultimately decides
the Earth must be cleansed,
338
00:18:16,625 --> 00:18:20,165
and chooses one man
to restart humanity anew:
339
00:18:20,265 --> 00:18:24,441
Noah, the great-grandson
of Enoch.
340
00:18:24,542 --> 00:18:26,378
In the Bible,
341
00:18:26,478 --> 00:18:29,184
Noah, the son of a shepherd
named Lamech
342
00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:32,224
and his wife Betenos,
was chosen by God
343
00:18:32,324 --> 00:18:35,430
because of his blameless piety.
344
00:18:36,231 --> 00:18:38,603
But when the Dead Sea Scrolls
were discovered,
345
00:18:38,703 --> 00:18:41,809
religious scholars were shocked
to find a much different
346
00:18:41,909 --> 00:18:46,185
and potentially older version
of the story of Noah.
347
00:18:46,318 --> 00:18:50,359
The Lamech Scroll documents
that Noah became the chosen one
348
00:18:50,459 --> 00:18:55,904
before he was born,
and his father was not Lamech.
349
00:18:56,005 --> 00:19:00,614
When Noah was born, the father
Lamech was gone at the time.
350
00:19:00,714 --> 00:19:03,686
However, the wife of Lamech
knew immediately
351
00:19:03,786 --> 00:19:05,557
something was up with Noah,
352
00:19:05,657 --> 00:19:09,164
because he didn't look like
a normal human being.
353
00:19:09,231 --> 00:19:11,502
- (crying softly)
- CARTER: He is described
354
00:19:11,636 --> 00:19:16,846
as having skin so white
it was radiant.
355
00:19:16,946 --> 00:19:20,019
His hair was white like wool.
356
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,225
His father Lamech says
357
00:19:23,325 --> 00:19:26,498
he has the ways of the watchers.
358
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:29,571
When he blinked,
his eyes lit up the whole house.
359
00:19:29,638 --> 00:19:32,878
This does not sound like
a human being.
360
00:19:32,978 --> 00:19:34,749
The boy looked
completely different
361
00:19:34,849 --> 00:19:36,351
than Lamech's other children,
362
00:19:36,452 --> 00:19:38,523
and Lamech said
to his wife Betenos,
363
00:19:38,623 --> 00:19:42,597
"This can't be my son,
because I was away too long."
364
00:19:42,697 --> 00:19:45,270
You know, "It doesn't fit
with the nine months."
365
00:19:45,336 --> 00:19:47,942
And Lamech goes for advice
to his father,
366
00:19:48,042 --> 00:19:50,112
who was the biblical Methuselah.
367
00:19:50,212 --> 00:19:53,419
Methuselah goes to his father,
which is Enoch.
368
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,957
Enoch says,
"The guardians of the sky
369
00:19:56,057 --> 00:20:02,571
"have inseminated Betenos
without touching her sexually.
370
00:20:02,672 --> 00:20:06,044
"He should accept this boy
as his own
371
00:20:06,144 --> 00:20:08,584
"and should give him
the name of Noah,
372
00:20:08,684 --> 00:20:12,423
"because the guardians
of the sky have decided
373
00:20:12,524 --> 00:20:16,065
Noah is the father
of the coming generation."
374
00:20:16,198 --> 00:20:19,739
So in that case,
proved in the Dead Sea Scrolls,
375
00:20:19,839 --> 00:20:23,913
we know for sure there was
an artificial insemination.
376
00:20:26,017 --> 00:20:28,422
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that the Dead Sea Scrolls
377
00:20:28,523 --> 00:20:31,427
contain the true story of Noah?
378
00:20:31,529 --> 00:20:34,568
Was he not a pious man
chosen by God
379
00:20:34,702 --> 00:20:36,873
but a genetically altered human
380
00:20:36,939 --> 00:20:41,750
created by extraterrestrials
to reboot life on Earth?
381
00:20:41,850 --> 00:20:45,056
While further details
about Enoch and Noah
382
00:20:45,156 --> 00:20:47,728
may have existed
in the Book of Giants,
383
00:20:47,828 --> 00:20:51,703
only fragments
of the full text have survived.
384
00:20:51,803 --> 00:20:54,675
But now, new technology
may bring to light
385
00:20:54,775 --> 00:20:58,014
even more incredible
revelations.
386
00:21:01,722 --> 00:21:03,759
NARRATOR:
Santa Barbara, California.
387
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:07,667
February 18, 2020.
388
00:21:09,037 --> 00:21:12,978
Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok
and Giorgio Tsoukalos travel
389
00:21:13,078 --> 00:21:15,917
to MegaVision to meet with
390
00:21:16,017 --> 00:21:18,957
imaging expert Ken Boydston.
391
00:21:19,057 --> 00:21:19,958
Ken.
392
00:21:20,058 --> 00:21:21,394
- Hey.
- Good to see you.
393
00:21:21,529 --> 00:21:23,031
NARRATOR:
Ken recently invented
394
00:21:23,131 --> 00:21:26,706
a revolutionary type of camera
that takes pictures using
395
00:21:26,806 --> 00:21:29,679
a technology called
"multispectral imaging."
396
00:21:29,745 --> 00:21:33,520
Giorgio and Ariel are
intrigued by the implications
397
00:21:33,620 --> 00:21:37,059
of this technology, and they are
eager to find out just how far
398
00:21:37,159 --> 00:21:42,369
it can go in retrieving lost
passages from the Book of Enoch.
399
00:21:43,573 --> 00:21:46,244
Ken, can you explain to me
the multispectral
400
00:21:46,344 --> 00:21:48,550
imaging system
that you have invented?
401
00:21:48,650 --> 00:21:50,853
Well, multispectral, simply put,
402
00:21:50,954 --> 00:21:55,630
it's taking a lot of pictures
under different colors of light.
403
00:21:55,763 --> 00:21:57,868
And we don't want to see
the light that's on the object.
404
00:21:57,968 --> 00:22:01,642
We want to only see
the light that the object
405
00:22:01,742 --> 00:22:05,115
is producing in response
to that light coming in.
406
00:22:06,184 --> 00:22:08,623
What we're doing
is just listening
407
00:22:08,723 --> 00:22:10,225
with light to the object.
408
00:22:10,325 --> 00:22:12,497
What story do you have
to tell us?
409
00:22:12,598 --> 00:22:15,871
The camera can see
what the human eye cannot see,
410
00:22:15,971 --> 00:22:19,344
and therein lies the magic
and some of the mystery
411
00:22:19,444 --> 00:22:20,647
and some of
the great excitement,
412
00:22:20,747 --> 00:22:23,452
because we are able
to discover things
413
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,892
that have been hidden
for generations or ages.
414
00:22:26,992 --> 00:22:28,295
Mm-hmm.
415
00:22:29,097 --> 00:22:33,038
NARRATOR:
Incredibly, Ken's camera is able to retrieve script
416
00:22:33,138 --> 00:22:35,075
that has become eroded
with time,
417
00:22:35,142 --> 00:22:38,349
script that was purposely
scrubbed from parchment
418
00:22:38,449 --> 00:22:41,789
and written over,
and even script within scrolls
419
00:22:41,889 --> 00:22:46,532
that cannot be opened because
they are too fragile to handle.
420
00:22:46,632 --> 00:22:49,672
Many of these scrolls
might be thousands of years old,
421
00:22:49,772 --> 00:22:51,942
and as you know,
we can't just open them up
422
00:22:52,042 --> 00:22:54,681
- and read them
because they will deteriorate. - Right.
423
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:57,253
- Very similar
like the Dead Sea Scrolls. - Yes.
424
00:22:57,387 --> 00:22:58,956
So, can you show us
how this works?
425
00:22:59,090 --> 00:23:01,160
Yeah, let's just kind of go
through a little bit of stuff.
426
00:23:03,165 --> 00:23:05,637
NARRATOR:
To demonstrate the power of this technology,
427
00:23:05,737 --> 00:23:07,975
Ken is going to apply
spectral imaging
428
00:23:08,075 --> 00:23:10,179
to a document that has been
burned so badly
429
00:23:10,246 --> 00:23:15,389
much of the text is completely
undetectable to the naked eye.
430
00:23:15,490 --> 00:23:18,228
During World War II,
the Nazis burned
431
00:23:18,295 --> 00:23:21,034
- vast quantities of documents.
- (sighs)
432
00:23:21,134 --> 00:23:25,710
So we are recovering
the partially burned texts.
433
00:23:25,810 --> 00:23:28,348
- Amazing.
- And so, we're ready to do it.
434
00:23:28,448 --> 00:23:30,185
Lights.
435
00:23:30,285 --> 00:23:32,056
Each time the light flashes,
436
00:23:32,156 --> 00:23:35,095
the shutter clicks,
another picture is captured.
437
00:23:35,229 --> 00:23:38,737
So you're seeing a little
tiny bit of light right now,
438
00:23:38,837 --> 00:23:40,907
but the camera is seeing
lots of light because this is
439
00:23:41,007 --> 00:23:42,310
down into the infrared.
440
00:23:42,410 --> 00:23:43,913
All right.
441
00:23:44,046 --> 00:23:47,554
So out of the visible light
pictures that we just took,
442
00:23:47,621 --> 00:23:50,459
those individual ones,
the computer put them together,
443
00:23:50,526 --> 00:23:53,065
and lo and behold,
there's a perfect color picture
444
00:23:53,165 --> 00:23:55,870
of that object, which would be
just what our eyes see.
445
00:23:55,970 --> 00:23:57,875
- TSOUKALOS: Look at this.
- BOYDSTON: Which, there it is.
446
00:23:57,975 --> 00:23:59,444
- TSOUKALOS: There you go. Wow.
- BOYDSTON: There it is.
447
00:23:59,545 --> 00:24:00,814
All of that text right there.
448
00:24:00,914 --> 00:24:02,551
And we can enhance that
a little bit.
449
00:24:02,684 --> 00:24:03,953
We can, uh, we can push
450
00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:06,257
the contrast up
a little bit on that.
451
00:24:06,391 --> 00:24:07,694
- TSOUKALOS: That word
says "semeron." - BOYDSON: There we go.
452
00:24:07,794 --> 00:24:09,699
- It means "today."
- So, um...
453
00:24:09,799 --> 00:24:12,403
- "Arios."
...that's a little demonstration
454
00:24:12,538 --> 00:24:15,610
of what, what the technology
can do.
455
00:24:15,710 --> 00:24:19,852
Uh, just a very quick
and, uh, compelling, really.
456
00:24:19,952 --> 00:24:22,724
This is extraordinary, really.
Wow.
457
00:24:22,824 --> 00:24:26,165
So, just imagine, uh, if you
have thousands and thousands
458
00:24:26,298 --> 00:24:29,170
of these pages where, uh,
459
00:24:29,271 --> 00:24:33,012
no one has been able to read
them since they were destroyed.
460
00:24:33,112 --> 00:24:37,588
In front of our eyes,
long-lost knowledge
461
00:24:37,688 --> 00:24:40,225
that has been thought
to have been completely
462
00:24:40,325 --> 00:24:42,096
and utterly destroyed
463
00:24:42,162 --> 00:24:45,770
has been resurrected
with the power of light.
464
00:24:45,870 --> 00:24:49,210
An ancient prophecy said
that towards the coming
465
00:24:49,310 --> 00:24:53,586
of what we will call disclosure,
all of these secrets,
466
00:24:53,686 --> 00:24:57,326
these ancient secrets
would be brought back to us.
467
00:24:57,460 --> 00:25:00,466
We never understood how,
but now it's actually
468
00:25:00,567 --> 00:25:03,305
happening in front of our eyes.
469
00:25:03,405 --> 00:25:06,512
What if there are references
470
00:25:06,612 --> 00:25:10,018
to extraterrestrials
that we've never seen before?
471
00:25:10,118 --> 00:25:11,588
There definitely are.
472
00:25:11,688 --> 00:25:14,595
So it's a corroboration
of what we're already doing.
473
00:25:14,695 --> 00:25:16,799
I mean, this is sensational.
474
00:25:18,235 --> 00:25:22,309
NARRATOR:
In 2018, the Israel Antiquities Authority,
475
00:25:22,376 --> 00:25:24,080
studying the Dead Sea Scrolls,
476
00:25:24,147 --> 00:25:27,854
announced that multispectral
analysis had uncovered writings
477
00:25:27,954 --> 00:25:32,062
on a fragment that points to
a previously unknown manuscript.
478
00:25:33,298 --> 00:25:37,641
Once it's discovered, what will
this missing manuscript reveal?
479
00:25:38,408 --> 00:25:42,417
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
480
00:25:42,518 --> 00:25:45,088
there could be
numerous lost texts of Enoch
481
00:25:45,188 --> 00:25:47,427
that will come to light.
482
00:25:47,528 --> 00:25:50,166
Texts that were hidden
in secure locations
483
00:25:50,266 --> 00:25:54,373
so that they would survive
a devastating global cataclysm:
484
00:25:54,474 --> 00:25:57,246
- the Great Flood.
- (thunder cracks)
485
00:26:01,221 --> 00:26:03,425
(thunder crashing)
486
00:26:03,526 --> 00:26:05,897
NARRATOR:
The Book of Genesis.
487
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:10,306
In chapters six through nine,
it is described that
488
00:26:10,406 --> 00:26:11,909
God had become deeply troubled
489
00:26:11,976 --> 00:26:14,046
by the wickedness
of the human race
490
00:26:14,146 --> 00:26:16,350
and decided
to bring it to an end
491
00:26:16,451 --> 00:26:19,958
by sending a Great Flood
upon the Earth.
492
00:26:20,058 --> 00:26:23,064
Only Noah and his family
would survive,
493
00:26:23,198 --> 00:26:25,870
and it was God himself
who gave Noah instructions
494
00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:28,542
for building the ark
that would save both them
495
00:26:28,642 --> 00:26:31,815
and two of
every earthly creature.
496
00:26:32,617 --> 00:26:34,988
The Book of Enoch
tells the same story,
497
00:26:35,088 --> 00:26:38,361
but with
significant differences.
498
00:26:40,365 --> 00:26:42,705
KATHLEEN McGOWAN:
One of the differences is that in the Book of Enoch,
499
00:26:42,805 --> 00:26:45,577
the Flood washes away
these rebellious angels.
500
00:26:45,677 --> 00:26:47,581
And it washes away the Nephilim,
501
00:26:47,681 --> 00:26:50,085
as opposed to
the traditional Flood story,
502
00:26:50,185 --> 00:26:52,055
which washes away people
503
00:26:52,156 --> 00:26:54,194
who have been
rebellious and sinful.
504
00:26:54,294 --> 00:26:57,701
God is protecting us
in the Book of Enoch.
505
00:26:57,801 --> 00:27:00,874
It is a very different God
than the spiteful, wrathful God
506
00:27:00,941 --> 00:27:04,748
that we see
in the Genesis account.
507
00:27:04,815 --> 00:27:07,420
NARRATOR:
Another key difference in Enoch's account
508
00:27:07,521 --> 00:27:09,290
is that Noah is
not given instructions
509
00:27:09,390 --> 00:27:13,198
to build the ark by God
but by the angel Uriel.
510
00:27:14,434 --> 00:27:18,175
HENRY:
The archangel Uriel is the one who warned Noah
511
00:27:18,275 --> 00:27:19,611
about the impending Flood,
512
00:27:19,711 --> 00:27:22,083
and who told him about
humanity's future
513
00:27:22,183 --> 00:27:24,086
and the possibility
of this cataclysm.
514
00:27:24,186 --> 00:27:26,992
What we're witnessing here
is an extraordinary story
515
00:27:27,093 --> 00:27:30,900
of an extraterrestrial being
having a tremendous, in fact,
516
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,873
incalculable influence
on human affairs.
517
00:27:36,913 --> 00:27:39,852
NARRATOR:
Does Enoch's account of the Great Flood reveal
518
00:27:39,919 --> 00:27:43,358
that it is not a story
of God punishing humankind
519
00:27:43,491 --> 00:27:44,828
but of extraterrestrials
520
00:27:44,928 --> 00:27:48,001
directing the course
of humanity?
521
00:27:48,836 --> 00:27:51,876
As far as many religious
scholars are concerned,
522
00:27:51,976 --> 00:27:54,648
both the biblical version
and the Enochian version
523
00:27:54,715 --> 00:27:58,523
of the Great Flood
are simply allegorical tales.
524
00:27:59,323 --> 00:28:02,196
But an increasing number
of archaeologists and historians
525
00:28:02,296 --> 00:28:07,039
now believe that this global
cataclysm actually happened.
526
00:28:12,249 --> 00:28:16,057
รzengili, Turkey. 1997.
527
00:28:17,226 --> 00:28:18,929
After years of research,
528
00:28:18,996 --> 00:28:21,702
American explorer
David Allen Deal
529
00:28:21,802 --> 00:28:24,541
has become convinced that
the biblical story of Noah
530
00:28:24,641 --> 00:28:26,646
is, in fact, historical,
531
00:28:26,746 --> 00:28:30,887
and is on the hunt to find
the remnants of the ark.
532
00:28:31,689 --> 00:28:36,031
At an elevation of more than
7,000 feet, near Mount Ararat--
533
00:28:36,164 --> 00:28:39,170
where the Bible says
Noah's ark eventually landed--
534
00:28:39,270 --> 00:28:43,111
he stumbles upon the ruins
of an ancient settlement.
535
00:28:43,211 --> 00:28:45,951
What he discovered is
what's known as
536
00:28:46,051 --> 00:28:50,593
the lost city of... of Noah,
or-or Naxuan.
537
00:28:50,693 --> 00:28:52,029
And this is an area
538
00:28:52,129 --> 00:28:54,935
that's near a strange
geological formation
539
00:28:55,035 --> 00:28:58,174
that some people think
is actually Noah's ark.
540
00:29:01,582 --> 00:29:04,955
NARRATOR:
The ancient Armenian historian Moses of Chorene
541
00:29:05,055 --> 00:29:09,898
identified Naxuan as the place
of Noah's first descent.
542
00:29:09,998 --> 00:29:11,902
Could this be
the first settlement
543
00:29:12,002 --> 00:29:14,708
in a post-Flood world?
544
00:29:14,774 --> 00:29:17,479
A recent archeological dig
reportedly uncovered
545
00:29:17,580 --> 00:29:19,752
something remarkable.
546
00:29:19,852 --> 00:29:24,327
The region may contain
millions of graves.
547
00:29:25,129 --> 00:29:29,103
CHILDRESS:
Because Noah's tomb is said to be here,
548
00:29:29,204 --> 00:29:33,345
a huge cemetery has grown up
around this lost city of Noah.
549
00:29:33,445 --> 00:29:36,652
And people from
all over the Middle East,
550
00:29:36,752 --> 00:29:41,828
in ancient times, uh, insisted
on being buried in this area.
551
00:29:42,898 --> 00:29:45,603
NARRATOR:
Researchers suggest that Naxuan
552
00:29:45,704 --> 00:29:49,578
is just one of many points of
evidence that support the notion
553
00:29:49,678 --> 00:29:51,948
of a historical Great Flood.
554
00:29:52,048 --> 00:29:57,527
What we now know from
incredible amount of evidence
555
00:29:57,627 --> 00:30:00,499
coming from every part
of the world
556
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,841
is that around 10,800 BC,
557
00:30:04,975 --> 00:30:10,418
the world was devastated
by some kind of impact event.
558
00:30:11,855 --> 00:30:17,601
And this devastated
every part of the landscape.
559
00:30:18,402 --> 00:30:22,977
What today we might refer to
as a nuclear winter
560
00:30:23,044 --> 00:30:26,283
that blotted out the Sun,
the Moon and the stars.
561
00:30:26,417 --> 00:30:29,757
There's something called
the Usselo horizon
562
00:30:29,858 --> 00:30:31,629
that's been found
all over the world.
563
00:30:31,729 --> 00:30:34,133
It's like a layer of black ash.
564
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:37,640
This suggests there was
a great conflagration
565
00:30:37,741 --> 00:30:40,145
that took place,
great fires and burning,
566
00:30:40,245 --> 00:30:42,449
and it left this layer
all around the world.
567
00:30:42,550 --> 00:30:47,292
And it dates to between
11,000 and 13,000 years ago.
568
00:30:49,865 --> 00:30:51,200
So this does suggest
569
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:54,941
something very serious
took place at this time.
570
00:30:55,843 --> 00:30:57,847
NARRATOR:
Could this layer of ash,
571
00:30:57,947 --> 00:31:00,854
found roughly 50 feet deep
in the Earth's soil,
572
00:31:00,954 --> 00:31:04,962
be evidence of
a devastating global event?
573
00:31:05,028 --> 00:31:08,034
According to geologist
Dr. Robert Schoch,
574
00:31:08,134 --> 00:31:12,142
a worldwide cataclysm,
and the resulting layer of ash,
575
00:31:12,242 --> 00:31:14,514
was likely created
by a solar flare,
576
00:31:14,614 --> 00:31:18,622
a sudden flash of
increased brightness on the sun.
577
00:31:20,626 --> 00:31:23,231
SCHOCH:
Based on my analysis of the evidence,
578
00:31:23,331 --> 00:31:26,203
is that there was a major,
major solar outburst.
579
00:31:26,303 --> 00:31:28,742
The sun essentially erupted.
580
00:31:28,842 --> 00:31:30,445
This caused, in a flash,
581
00:31:30,546 --> 00:31:35,089
the glaciers to melt
virtually instantaneously.
582
00:31:35,189 --> 00:31:37,761
It caused evaporation of water.
583
00:31:37,894 --> 00:31:40,967
This not only led
to the rising sea levels,
584
00:31:41,067 --> 00:31:44,373
flooding the coastal areas,
and torrential rains.
585
00:31:44,508 --> 00:31:48,816
We have physical evidence of
this in the geological record.
586
00:31:48,916 --> 00:31:52,991
NARRATOR:
Could the Book of Enoch overturn everything we know
587
00:31:53,091 --> 00:31:55,963
about the history
of life on our planet?
588
00:31:56,832 --> 00:31:58,503
Did Enoch intend
to make a record
589
00:31:58,603 --> 00:32:01,040
of extraterrestrial
intervention on Earth
590
00:32:01,140 --> 00:32:04,246
for future generations
of humans to discover?
591
00:32:04,346 --> 00:32:07,219
And if so,
have these descriptions
592
00:32:07,319 --> 00:32:10,392
been deliberately withheld
from sacred texts,
593
00:32:10,492 --> 00:32:14,200
as ancient astronaut theorists
propose?
594
00:32:15,002 --> 00:32:18,108
Perhaps further insight
can be found by examining
595
00:32:18,208 --> 00:32:20,913
extraordinary events
surrounding the destruction
596
00:32:21,013 --> 00:32:25,355
of the ancient world's
greatest library.
597
00:32:31,769 --> 00:32:34,641
NARRATOR:
Egypt, 391 AD.
598
00:32:36,076 --> 00:32:38,448
The Great Library of Alexandria,
599
00:32:38,549 --> 00:32:41,688
which houses perhaps
the most extensive collection
600
00:32:41,788 --> 00:32:44,494
of knowledge
in the ancient world,
601
00:32:44,595 --> 00:32:46,665
is set aflame.
602
00:32:46,732 --> 00:32:48,769
(people screaming)
603
00:32:49,704 --> 00:32:53,444
It is burned by decree
of Emperor Theodosius I,
604
00:32:53,545 --> 00:32:57,520
who has deemed many of the works
contained at the library
605
00:32:57,620 --> 00:33:00,258
unorthodox and heretical.
606
00:33:02,229 --> 00:33:05,368
Built by the Egyptians
in the 3rd century BC,
607
00:33:05,468 --> 00:33:08,842
the Library of Alexandria
was said to contain
608
00:33:08,909 --> 00:33:13,484
as many as a million scrolls
on a wide variety of topics,
609
00:33:13,619 --> 00:33:15,756
including astronomy,
610
00:33:15,856 --> 00:33:17,827
mathematics, physics,
611
00:33:17,927 --> 00:33:21,333
medicine and philosophy.
612
00:33:24,406 --> 00:33:26,512
YOUNG:
The Library at Alexandria was
613
00:33:26,579 --> 00:33:29,016
the greatest library
of the ancient world.
614
00:33:29,150 --> 00:33:31,154
Thousands and thousands
of scrolls,
615
00:33:31,254 --> 00:33:34,728
all of the ancient science,
all of the ancient wisdom,
616
00:33:34,828 --> 00:33:37,534
the occult lore, the literature.
617
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,071
But as regimes changed,
618
00:33:40,172 --> 00:33:43,044
there was a fear
that perhaps there were
619
00:33:43,144 --> 00:33:45,315
heresies in those volumes.
620
00:33:46,117 --> 00:33:50,425
MAGLIOCCO:
As Christianity grew and became a more powerful religion,
621
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,998
they began to see
some of the learning
622
00:33:53,064 --> 00:33:56,872
that was part of
ancient civilization as evil.
623
00:33:57,874 --> 00:34:02,215
So all of the astronomy, all
of the technological knowledge,
624
00:34:02,349 --> 00:34:05,455
all of the philosophy,
had to be destroyed.
625
00:34:06,390 --> 00:34:09,330
There was ancient technologies
that were lost.
626
00:34:09,430 --> 00:34:12,704
We know this
from modern historical record.
627
00:34:12,804 --> 00:34:14,473
Technologies working with
628
00:34:14,574 --> 00:34:18,181
systems like magnetism,
crystals, energy.
629
00:34:18,281 --> 00:34:20,452
like the Ark of the Covenant.
630
00:34:20,553 --> 00:34:22,990
We know these things existed,
but we don't know
631
00:34:23,090 --> 00:34:25,930
what was the nature
of their existence.
632
00:34:26,565 --> 00:34:29,972
Some of those books
were the history of our planet
633
00:34:30,072 --> 00:34:33,244
going back
to 100,000 years even.
634
00:34:33,344 --> 00:34:36,518
So when these books
were all destroyed,
635
00:34:36,618 --> 00:34:41,661
it was a way of setting
the knowledge back to zero.
636
00:34:45,569 --> 00:34:48,876
NARRATOR:
Of the volumes once held by the vast library,
637
00:34:48,976 --> 00:34:51,715
researchers have estimated
that 95%
638
00:34:51,815 --> 00:34:54,921
of the knowledge that was
recorded there was incinerated,
639
00:34:55,021 --> 00:34:59,898
plunging humanity back thousands
of years in its evolution.
640
00:35:00,032 --> 00:35:01,635
But why?
641
00:35:02,537 --> 00:35:06,477
Was the Library of Alexandria
burned down
642
00:35:06,578 --> 00:35:09,517
simply because
the Catholic Church considered
643
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:12,690
some of its contents
to be heretical?
644
00:35:13,792 --> 00:35:15,629
Ancient astronaut theorists
645
00:35:15,730 --> 00:35:17,900
suggest there may have
been another,
646
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,277
perhaps extraterrestrial agenda
behind its destruction.
647
00:35:26,685 --> 00:35:28,789
According to
an official NASA document
648
00:35:28,889 --> 00:35:33,632
published in 2007 titled
"Unidentified Flying Objects
649
00:35:33,732 --> 00:35:35,468
in Classical Antiquity,"
650
00:35:35,536 --> 00:35:38,609
there were a remarkable number
of mysterious encounters
651
00:35:38,709 --> 00:35:42,049
during the rise and fall
of the Roman Empire.
652
00:35:42,684 --> 00:35:46,290
They didn't use the term "UFO"
or "flying saucer"
653
00:35:46,390 --> 00:35:49,263
back in-in the times
of the Romans and the Greeks,
654
00:35:49,363 --> 00:35:55,375
but they spoke about things
like sky armies, shields, ships,
655
00:35:55,475 --> 00:35:57,646
and, I mean, this is history.
656
00:35:58,883 --> 00:36:01,487
BRAMLEY:
There's a very interesting report by Cicero.
657
00:36:01,588 --> 00:36:05,195
And what that was is that
there was a sphere in the sky,
658
00:36:05,295 --> 00:36:08,034
which then divided
into smaller spheres.
659
00:36:08,134 --> 00:36:10,573
This reflects
the classic UFO reports
660
00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:12,810
that we get today where
there's just one big object,
661
00:36:12,910 --> 00:36:15,783
usually a sphere, and
then suddenly it breaks apart
662
00:36:15,883 --> 00:36:18,722
and these smaller subsets
go flying around.
663
00:36:21,327 --> 00:36:24,266
NARRATOR:
This report from the first century BC
664
00:36:24,366 --> 00:36:28,241
was just one of
over 100 unexplained sightings
665
00:36:28,308 --> 00:36:31,080
recorded during
the Roman Empire.
666
00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:34,253
There's one remarkable story
after another
667
00:36:34,353 --> 00:36:37,092
in the Roman Empire
of the appearance of
668
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:39,764
spaceships influencing battles.
669
00:36:39,864 --> 00:36:42,303
And it leaves
the appearance that these
670
00:36:42,403 --> 00:36:45,242
extraterrestrial beings
had a direct bearing
671
00:36:45,375 --> 00:36:48,381
on the outcome of some of
these battles and these wars.
672
00:36:49,183 --> 00:36:53,091
NARRATOR:
Of all the unexplained sightings, the most famous was
673
00:36:53,191 --> 00:36:55,697
reported by
Emperor Constantine the Great
674
00:36:55,763 --> 00:36:58,602
on October 27, 312 AD,
675
00:36:58,703 --> 00:37:01,875
at the Battle
of the Milvian Bridge,
676
00:37:01,975 --> 00:37:03,444
which would win him the throne
677
00:37:03,545 --> 00:37:06,049
and change
Western civilization forever.
678
00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:07,620
(crowd clamoring)
679
00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:10,760
MAGLIOCCO:
The real moment of truth for Constantine came
680
00:37:10,860 --> 00:37:15,401
when he was engaged
in the midst of a great battle.
681
00:37:17,574 --> 00:37:21,047
He claimed to have seen
a cross appear
682
00:37:21,114 --> 00:37:24,320
in the sky over the battlefield.
683
00:37:25,088 --> 00:37:27,827
At that point,
he made a vow to Christ
684
00:37:27,927 --> 00:37:29,564
that if he won the battle,
685
00:37:29,665 --> 00:37:33,071
he would convert
to Christianity for good
686
00:37:33,171 --> 00:37:34,741
and he would make Christianity
687
00:37:34,841 --> 00:37:38,716
the state religion
of the Roman Empire.
688
00:37:38,816 --> 00:37:42,823
BRAMLEY:
The vision of Constantine was extremely significant.
689
00:37:42,957 --> 00:37:44,895
They thought it was
some kind of message.
690
00:37:44,995 --> 00:37:49,403
Fight this battle and establish
this form of Christianity.
691
00:37:50,205 --> 00:37:53,344
NARRATOR:
Shortly after Constantine became emperor of Rome,
692
00:37:53,444 --> 00:37:55,348
religious wars broke out
693
00:37:55,449 --> 00:37:58,421
between the Christians,
Jews and pagans.
694
00:37:59,389 --> 00:38:03,231
It was during these wars
that the first attacks were made
695
00:38:03,331 --> 00:38:05,669
on the Library of Alexandria,
696
00:38:05,769 --> 00:38:11,381
ultimately leading to
its total destruction in 391 AD.
697
00:38:11,481 --> 00:38:14,486
If extraterrestrial beings
were responsible
698
00:38:14,587 --> 00:38:17,492
for Constantine's vision
at the Milvian Bridge,
699
00:38:17,593 --> 00:38:20,599
as ancient astronaut theorists
propose,
700
00:38:20,699 --> 00:38:22,570
could they have also
played a role
701
00:38:22,670 --> 00:38:25,876
in the burning
of the library's archives?
702
00:38:27,646 --> 00:38:32,122
POPE:
The Roman Empire, in many ways, was ahead of its time.
703
00:38:32,222 --> 00:38:34,459
Now, was this something
that caught
704
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,167
the attention of
intelligent extraterrestrials?
705
00:38:38,234 --> 00:38:41,006
Did it give them
cause for concern?
706
00:38:41,106 --> 00:38:44,948
Were these UFO sightings
at the time of the Roman Empire
707
00:38:45,048 --> 00:38:49,256
a monitoring process
and maybe humanity was just
708
00:38:49,356 --> 00:38:51,126
pegged back a little bit?
709
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:56,638
NARRATOR:
Is it possible the alleged UFO sightings
710
00:38:56,705 --> 00:38:59,744
throughout the Roman Empire
indicate that there is
711
00:38:59,844 --> 00:39:03,785
an extraterrestrial agenda
for humanity?
712
00:39:05,021 --> 00:39:07,593
Could it be that the scientific
713
00:39:07,693 --> 00:39:11,267
and technological information
destroyed with the burning
714
00:39:11,367 --> 00:39:15,609
of the Library of Alexandria
is lost forever?
715
00:39:15,742 --> 00:39:18,882
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
716
00:39:18,982 --> 00:39:21,855
much like the rediscovery
of the Book of Enoch
717
00:39:21,955 --> 00:39:25,461
and other stricken texts,
this advanced knowledge
718
00:39:25,596 --> 00:39:28,969
may have been safeguarded
and can still be found today
719
00:39:29,069 --> 00:39:33,945
within the ancient
Vedic scriptures of India.
720
00:39:37,118 --> 00:39:38,354
NARRATOR:
India.
721
00:39:38,454 --> 00:39:41,159
Home to over 1.3 billion people,
722
00:39:41,259 --> 00:39:45,736
it is the second most
populous nation in the world.
723
00:39:45,837 --> 00:39:50,278
Although it is home to some of
mankind's oldest civilizations,
724
00:39:50,378 --> 00:39:53,585
India has, in recent years,
725
00:39:53,685 --> 00:39:57,125
also undergone
rapid modernization.
726
00:39:57,225 --> 00:40:00,365
The city of Bangalore,
for example,
727
00:40:00,465 --> 00:40:02,503
is the headquarters
of literally thousands
728
00:40:02,604 --> 00:40:05,208
of information technology
companies,
729
00:40:05,308 --> 00:40:06,778
and has been ranked
730
00:40:06,878 --> 00:40:10,852
as one of the most
high-tech cities in the world.
731
00:40:10,919 --> 00:40:13,792
But these advancements
also coexist
732
00:40:13,859 --> 00:40:17,198
with the country's
ancient origins.
733
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,810
Roughly 80% of the Indian
population practices Hinduism.
734
00:40:24,681 --> 00:40:27,687
And for the Hindu faithful,
their gods are not
735
00:40:27,787 --> 00:40:31,795
mythological creatures but
are real flesh and blood beings
736
00:40:31,928 --> 00:40:34,968
that have at times
been present here on Earth.
737
00:40:35,068 --> 00:40:39,343
For the Indian people,
the basis of their religion
738
00:40:39,443 --> 00:40:42,816
is essential
to the fabric of their lives.
739
00:40:44,787 --> 00:40:48,460
YOUNG:
Many of the faithful to this day see these accounts
740
00:40:48,595 --> 00:40:50,966
not as fanciful but as history.
741
00:40:51,066 --> 00:40:52,369
They take it literally
742
00:40:52,469 --> 00:40:56,544
that the gods walked among human
beings and conveyed knowledge.
743
00:40:56,644 --> 00:40:59,850
MOHAN:
In the Hindu tradition, these ancient gods
744
00:40:59,950 --> 00:41:02,991
are not considered just
symbolic or mythical beings.
745
00:41:03,124 --> 00:41:06,631
They are considered as
flesh and blood beings
746
00:41:06,731 --> 00:41:10,906
that came down from the sky
and existed in real life.
747
00:41:12,777 --> 00:41:16,284
NARRATOR:
The foundation of Hinduism is carefully preserved
748
00:41:16,384 --> 00:41:18,353
in India's most ancient texts.
749
00:41:18,420 --> 00:41:20,793
And according
to their traditions,
750
00:41:20,893 --> 00:41:25,068
these texts are accounts given
directly by the gods themselves,
751
00:41:25,168 --> 00:41:28,542
and only transcribed by humans.
752
00:41:28,676 --> 00:41:31,581
This collection
includes the Vedas,
753
00:41:31,681 --> 00:41:35,288
or Hindu scriptures,
as well as other manuscripts
754
00:41:35,388 --> 00:41:38,127
written in
the early Sanskrit language.
755
00:41:38,929 --> 00:41:42,703
Vedic scholars suggest knowledge
pertaining to architecture,
756
00:41:42,770 --> 00:41:45,374
science, technology,
757
00:41:45,474 --> 00:41:47,078
weaponry and medicine
758
00:41:47,178 --> 00:41:51,319
are preserved in meticulous
detail in these works.
759
00:41:51,386 --> 00:41:56,363
The origins of the Vedic texts
goes back to cosmic time.
760
00:41:56,463 --> 00:41:59,269
They have been around for
761
00:41:59,369 --> 00:42:01,207
thousands and thousands
of years.
762
00:42:01,307 --> 00:42:04,212
It is believed
that the knowledge
763
00:42:04,312 --> 00:42:06,551
came directly from gods.
764
00:42:06,651 --> 00:42:09,255
DAVID WILCOCK:
We are seeing a handbook of the gods.
765
00:42:09,356 --> 00:42:12,963
We are looking at an endowment
from some superior intelligence
766
00:42:13,030 --> 00:42:16,872
that appears to have been given
to us as a very practical guide
767
00:42:16,938 --> 00:42:20,979
in ways that benefit humankind
all across the board.
768
00:42:22,583 --> 00:42:24,152
NARRATOR:
But if the ancient texts of India
769
00:42:24,252 --> 00:42:28,361
are truly attributable
to the extraterrestrial gods,
770
00:42:28,461 --> 00:42:31,968
just what information
do they contain?
771
00:42:37,378 --> 00:42:40,084
Sirpur, India.
772
00:42:40,184 --> 00:42:42,489
The Surang Tila temple.
773
00:42:43,357 --> 00:42:47,132
This structure, which dates back
to the 7th century AD,
774
00:42:47,198 --> 00:42:50,238
was recently unearthed
after being buried
775
00:42:50,338 --> 00:42:54,780
by a powerful earthquake that
occurred in the 11th century.
776
00:42:55,916 --> 00:42:58,888
Although the rest of the area
was completely leveled,
777
00:42:58,988 --> 00:43:02,763
the structure itself
remained largely intact.
778
00:43:03,532 --> 00:43:06,705
Archaeologists suggest
that this is due
779
00:43:06,772 --> 00:43:08,908
to the advanced
construction techniques,
780
00:43:09,008 --> 00:43:12,415
known as Ayurvedic
or Vedic architecture,
781
00:43:12,516 --> 00:43:15,154
utilized by its builders.
782
00:43:16,089 --> 00:43:18,360
The principles they used
are derived
783
00:43:18,461 --> 00:43:22,201
from the ancient science of
design that can be traced back
784
00:43:22,301 --> 00:43:24,840
to the ancient Indian texts.
785
00:43:26,009 --> 00:43:28,681
In March 2017,
786
00:43:28,815 --> 00:43:32,188
researcher and ancient astronaut
theorist Giorgio Tsoukalos
787
00:43:32,255 --> 00:43:34,828
traveled to India to meet
788
00:43:34,928 --> 00:43:37,667
with archaeologist
Dr. Arun Sharma,
789
00:43:37,767 --> 00:43:38,969
who headed the dig.
790
00:43:39,069 --> 00:43:42,074
TSOUKALOS:
This is beautiful.
791
00:44:00,277 --> 00:44:02,950
Really? Now, is this considered
792
00:44:03,050 --> 00:44:05,187
Ayurvedic architecture
right here?
793
00:44:18,448 --> 00:44:21,119
That's amazing. Huh.
794
00:44:24,293 --> 00:44:26,062
TSOUKALOS:
Okay.
795
00:44:26,163 --> 00:44:29,002
NARRATOR:
Although much of the site has been renovated
796
00:44:29,102 --> 00:44:32,075
using modern concrete,
blocks held together
797
00:44:32,209 --> 00:44:35,982
by the Ayurvedic paste
can still be found.
798
00:44:43,164 --> 00:44:46,403
It seems to be almost like
some type of glue.
799
00:45:02,468 --> 00:45:06,110
NARRATOR:
The glue-like substance is said to form a bond
800
00:45:06,210 --> 00:45:09,650
that is at least 20 times
stronger than concrete.
801
00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:12,021
But modern builders
have been unwilling
802
00:45:12,121 --> 00:45:15,729
to entertain the notion
that such an ancient concoction
803
00:45:15,829 --> 00:45:18,602
could be superior
to today's building materials.
804
00:45:18,669 --> 00:45:21,439
Wow, look at this. Beautiful.
805
00:45:21,541 --> 00:45:25,415
NARRATOR:
The detailed instructions for making this paste can be found
806
00:45:25,516 --> 00:45:29,256
in an ancient Indian text
known as the Mayamatam,
807
00:45:29,356 --> 00:45:33,463
a manuscript dedicated
to construction techniques.
808
00:45:33,598 --> 00:45:37,907
The information contained within
the document is understood
809
00:45:38,007 --> 00:45:41,280
to have been passed down
to humans from Mayasura,
810
00:45:41,413 --> 00:45:45,655
the ancient king of the demigods
who was said to oversee
811
00:45:45,755 --> 00:45:48,427
various construction projects
on Earth,
812
00:45:48,561 --> 00:45:51,266
including cities in the sky.
813
00:46:01,888 --> 00:46:04,894
NARRATOR:
Curiously, there is a more astounding
814
00:46:05,027 --> 00:46:07,533
earthquake-proof feature
at the site which indicates
815
00:46:07,633 --> 00:46:11,473
that advanced knowledge
was used in its construction.
816
00:46:12,408 --> 00:46:16,249
Located at key points
within the Surang Tila temple
817
00:46:16,350 --> 00:46:21,393
are several 80-foot-long shafts
designed to form air pockets
818
00:46:21,528 --> 00:46:25,969
that can dissipate
the impact of seismic events.
819
00:46:29,877 --> 00:46:32,314
Yes, please.
820
00:46:33,317 --> 00:46:34,987
All right.
821
00:46:35,087 --> 00:46:36,658
Wow.
822
00:46:36,758 --> 00:46:37,860
Oh, wow.
823
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,831
This is big. It's a huge book.
824
00:46:39,931 --> 00:46:42,569
And-and this text
has been around
825
00:46:42,636 --> 00:46:45,074
for 4,500 years?
826
00:46:50,451 --> 00:46:53,925
In your opinion, where
did this knowledge come from?
827
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,068
Uh-huh.
828
00:47:05,248 --> 00:47:08,454
And you think
that this knowledge
829
00:47:08,588 --> 00:47:10,992
originated from the stars?
830
00:47:14,733 --> 00:47:16,436
That's amazing.
831
00:47:16,537 --> 00:47:20,444
NARRATOR:
According to the Hindu faithful, the construction techniques
832
00:47:20,512 --> 00:47:24,285
used at the Surang Tila temple
are just one example of
833
00:47:24,386 --> 00:47:29,162
advanced technology detailed
in the ancient Sanskrit texts.
834
00:47:29,262 --> 00:47:31,968
Other works are said
to contain information
835
00:47:32,068 --> 00:47:35,608
far beyond the scope
of early man.
836
00:47:36,711 --> 00:47:39,416
Perhaps even providing
concrete proof
837
00:47:39,517 --> 00:47:43,123
of extraterrestrial activity
on Earth.
838
00:47:47,031 --> 00:47:48,769
NARRATOR:
The Indus Valley,
839
00:47:48,869 --> 00:47:51,373
Northwest India and Pakistan.
840
00:47:51,473 --> 00:47:54,279
June 2011.
841
00:47:54,379 --> 00:47:58,922
Paleontologists discover
a 4,300-year-old skull
842
00:47:59,022 --> 00:48:02,194
featuring multiple
drilled holes in it.
843
00:48:03,330 --> 00:48:06,604
Remarkably, they conclude
these are signs
844
00:48:06,671 --> 00:48:08,708
that brain surgery
was performed.
845
00:48:08,808 --> 00:48:10,679
And it even appears
846
00:48:10,779 --> 00:48:13,150
that the operation
was successful,
847
00:48:13,250 --> 00:48:17,091
as the wound showed signs
of advanced healing.
848
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,666
NOORY:
In ancient India, they performed
849
00:48:20,766 --> 00:48:26,042
incredible kinds of medicine and
surgical procedures on people,
850
00:48:26,109 --> 00:48:29,015
things like
operating on the skull.
851
00:48:29,115 --> 00:48:31,019
What's fascinating
about this is,
852
00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:35,696
is this kind of advanced
medical knowledge goes way back.
853
00:48:35,796 --> 00:48:37,198
Way back.
854
00:48:37,332 --> 00:48:41,540
And they were able to use
those techniques to heal people.
855
00:48:44,445 --> 00:48:47,285
NARRATOR: Vedic scholars
suggest that not only
856
00:48:47,385 --> 00:48:50,959
were the ancient Hindus
able to perform brain surgery
857
00:48:51,093 --> 00:48:53,665
but other advanced procedures
as well.
858
00:48:54,432 --> 00:48:57,271
And much of
this medical knowledge
859
00:48:57,338 --> 00:48:59,475
was set to record
in a Sanskrit text
860
00:48:59,576 --> 00:49:06,189
dating back to 800 BC
known as the Sushruta Samhita.
861
00:49:07,091 --> 00:49:10,632
In 2017, at a local library
862
00:49:10,732 --> 00:49:15,140
in Mahabalipuram, India,
Giorgio Tsoukalos meets
863
00:49:15,240 --> 00:49:18,881
with fellow ancient astronaut
theorist Praveen Mohan
864
00:49:18,948 --> 00:49:21,721
to take a closer look
at the text.
865
00:49:21,821 --> 00:49:23,457
Now, this is a, uh,
866
00:49:23,558 --> 00:49:26,931
vast medical text
that contains information
867
00:49:27,031 --> 00:49:30,438
about more than
11,000 illnesses.
868
00:49:30,505 --> 00:49:35,013
Uh, it talks about
700 medicinal plants,
869
00:49:35,114 --> 00:49:39,489
64 preparations
from mineral resources,
870
00:49:39,590 --> 00:49:42,428
57 preparations
from animal resources,
871
00:49:42,529 --> 00:49:45,168
and it's considered
the foundation of Ayurveda,
872
00:49:45,268 --> 00:49:47,038
the traditional Indian medicine.
873
00:49:47,138 --> 00:49:49,710
Oh, so this is the basis
for Ayurvedic medicine
874
00:49:49,810 --> 00:49:51,180
- right here?
- Yes, yes.
875
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,150
I was able to find a passage.
876
00:49:53,250 --> 00:49:55,689
I thought you might find it,
you know, interesting.
877
00:49:55,789 --> 00:49:57,192
- TSOUKALOS: Mm-hmm.
- Right here.
878
00:49:57,292 --> 00:49:59,262
Now, you can see, it says that
879
00:49:59,395 --> 00:50:02,736
surgical operations
are of eight types.
880
00:50:02,837 --> 00:50:05,408
They are incising,
881
00:50:05,509 --> 00:50:08,681
excising, scraping,
882
00:50:08,748 --> 00:50:11,286
puncturing, probing,
883
00:50:11,386 --> 00:50:14,458
extracting, secreting fluids,
884
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,597
and even suturing.
885
00:50:16,697 --> 00:50:20,404
- So, imagine,
we had suturing 2,600 years ago. - Mm-hmm.
886
00:50:20,505 --> 00:50:24,312
And this book was written
more than a hundred years
887
00:50:24,412 --> 00:50:27,886
before Hippocrates,
the father of modern medicine.
888
00:50:27,953 --> 00:50:31,460
That is amazing. And how was
this information obtained?
889
00:50:31,594 --> 00:50:33,531
Like, what's the story
behind this?
890
00:50:33,632 --> 00:50:36,770
Well, the title
"Sushruta Samhita" means
891
00:50:36,837 --> 00:50:41,680
that the author Sushruta
is not really the author.
892
00:50:41,780 --> 00:50:43,751
He did not write this book.
893
00:50:43,851 --> 00:50:46,256
He got this information
894
00:50:46,356 --> 00:50:49,630
from a character
called Dhanvantari,
895
00:50:49,730 --> 00:50:52,234
who was an otherworldly being.
896
00:50:53,437 --> 00:50:55,374
NARRATOR:
Dhanvantari is believed
897
00:50:55,441 --> 00:50:57,411
to be the physician to the gods
898
00:50:57,513 --> 00:51:01,085
and the father
of Ayurvedic medicine.
899
00:51:01,185 --> 00:51:04,159
SHIMKHADA:
Dhanvantari itself has a divine origin
900
00:51:04,259 --> 00:51:06,330
associated with
the churning of the milky ocean.
901
00:51:06,430 --> 00:51:09,201
The churning of the milk of sea
902
00:51:09,302 --> 00:51:12,676
refers to perhaps,
uh, the Milky Way.
903
00:51:12,810 --> 00:51:15,080
Dhanvantari came out of that,
904
00:51:15,181 --> 00:51:17,619
and then he was
the god of medicine.
905
00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:22,261
And he then gave this knowledge
of medicine to human beings.
906
00:51:23,029 --> 00:51:27,672
TSOUKALOS:
Dhanvantari was said to have originated from the Milky Way.
907
00:51:27,772 --> 00:51:29,877
And so, all of a sudden,
908
00:51:29,977 --> 00:51:32,482
you have a connection
with this deity
909
00:51:32,550 --> 00:51:35,756
arriving from the Milky Way--
well, what more do you want?
910
00:51:35,856 --> 00:51:38,561
The knowledge contained
in this document known as
911
00:51:38,662 --> 00:51:42,703
the Sushruta Samhita
was brought here
912
00:51:42,803 --> 00:51:45,609
by an extraterrestrial visitor.
913
00:51:45,742 --> 00:51:49,282
NARRATOR:
Ayurvedic medicine is considered one of
914
00:51:49,382 --> 00:51:53,658
the world's oldest and
most detailed healing sciences.
915
00:51:53,758 --> 00:51:57,932
Is it possible that it was
really handed down to mankind
916
00:51:58,033 --> 00:52:00,004
by alien sources?
917
00:52:00,071 --> 00:52:02,743
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
918
00:52:02,843 --> 00:52:06,951
and suggest that
other texts clearly reveal
919
00:52:07,051 --> 00:52:09,690
this extraterrestrial
connection.
920
00:52:14,298 --> 00:52:16,169
Mumbai University.
921
00:52:16,269 --> 00:52:18,474
Kalina, India.
922
00:52:18,575 --> 00:52:21,279
January 2015.
923
00:52:22,616 --> 00:52:25,187
The Indian Science Congress
presents talks
924
00:52:25,287 --> 00:52:27,826
on various technical disciplines
925
00:52:27,926 --> 00:52:32,267
to an audience of
some of India's top engineers.
926
00:52:33,938 --> 00:52:37,411
Included in the list of
presentations is a lecture
927
00:52:37,546 --> 00:52:40,719
on ancient Indian
aviation technology
928
00:52:40,819 --> 00:52:44,025
given by retired pilot
and flight instructor
929
00:52:44,125 --> 00:52:47,364
Captain Anand J. Bodas.
930
00:52:47,465 --> 00:52:50,538
In his lecture,
Captain Anand Bodas
931
00:52:50,638 --> 00:52:53,878
told young engineers
that they should recreate
932
00:52:53,978 --> 00:52:56,984
what is given
in ancient Vedic texts,
933
00:52:57,084 --> 00:53:00,123
because in the field
of aviation,
934
00:53:00,224 --> 00:53:03,396
there are
much more advanced devices
935
00:53:03,496 --> 00:53:06,604
mentioned than
what we have today.
936
00:53:06,704 --> 00:53:09,543
NOORY:
This was a very controversial talk,
937
00:53:09,643 --> 00:53:11,313
because you had one camp
that thought
938
00:53:11,413 --> 00:53:14,520
that the ancient civilizations
of India possessed
939
00:53:14,654 --> 00:53:18,293
incredible flying technology,
yet you then had that other camp
940
00:53:18,393 --> 00:53:20,898
that said this is crazy,
it's nonsense.
941
00:53:23,203 --> 00:53:24,740
But something was going on
942
00:53:24,806 --> 00:53:28,515
many, many, many,
many thousands of years ago.
943
00:53:28,615 --> 00:53:31,053
And they presented evidence
and documented facts
944
00:53:31,153 --> 00:53:33,691
that they had flying machines
945
00:53:33,791 --> 00:53:36,797
that were capable of doing
incredible things.
946
00:53:36,897 --> 00:53:38,934
How did they know this?
947
00:53:42,543 --> 00:53:45,113
NARRATOR:
Captain Bodas is just the latest
948
00:53:45,213 --> 00:53:47,952
in a long line
of researchers to suggest
949
00:53:48,086 --> 00:53:50,291
that the ancient texts contain
950
00:53:50,357 --> 00:53:53,163
actual information
about lost technology
951
00:53:53,263 --> 00:53:55,467
pertaining to aerial vehicles,
952
00:53:55,568 --> 00:53:59,308
often referred to
in the texts as "vimanas."
953
00:54:01,379 --> 00:54:06,524
In 1895, a full eight years
before the Wright brothers
954
00:54:06,624 --> 00:54:09,495
successfully launched
their flying machine,
955
00:54:09,596 --> 00:54:14,607
Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Talpade
tested an aircraft he fashioned
956
00:54:14,673 --> 00:54:16,442
based solely on information
957
00:54:16,543 --> 00:54:20,183
gleaned from
the ancient Indian writings.
958
00:54:20,283 --> 00:54:22,455
BRANDENBURG:
Talpade, in India, was a student
959
00:54:22,522 --> 00:54:24,391
of the Vedic scriptures.
960
00:54:24,492 --> 00:54:27,432
And he decided to try
and construct
961
00:54:27,533 --> 00:54:30,638
one of the vimana flying craft
962
00:54:30,738 --> 00:54:34,112
that were seen
in the, um, Vedic scriptures.
963
00:54:35,114 --> 00:54:40,057
MOHAN:
The first aircraft of Talpade was called "Marutsakha,"
964
00:54:40,157 --> 00:54:43,063
which means
"friend of the wind."
965
00:54:43,130 --> 00:54:46,469
He was able to fly this aircraft
966
00:54:46,570 --> 00:54:50,778
in front of thousands of people
in Mumbai Beach.
967
00:54:50,845 --> 00:54:52,950
TAYLOR:
The legend has it that he flew for,
968
00:54:53,050 --> 00:54:54,853
like, 30 seconds at 1,500 feet.
969
00:54:54,953 --> 00:54:59,095
The Wright brothers only went
120 feet for 12 seconds.
970
00:54:59,195 --> 00:55:03,838
If this is true, that changes
aviation history dramatically.
971
00:55:03,971 --> 00:55:08,146
But even more exciting
is that he based his design
972
00:55:08,246 --> 00:55:10,552
on something written
thousands of years
973
00:55:10,652 --> 00:55:15,093
before mankind even thought
flying was possible.
974
00:55:16,329 --> 00:55:21,940
NARRATOR:
In 2017, Kavya Vaddadi, an aircraft design engineer
975
00:55:22,007 --> 00:55:26,449
in Delhi, India, was able
to recreate the Marutsakha
976
00:55:26,583 --> 00:55:30,391
as a digital 3D model,
utilizing the same information
977
00:55:30,525 --> 00:55:33,998
contained in the texts
that Talpade studied.
978
00:55:34,098 --> 00:55:39,108
She shared her digital file
with aerospace systems engineer
979
00:55:39,208 --> 00:55:41,747
Travis Taylor,
so he could 3D print it
980
00:55:41,847 --> 00:55:45,889
in order to test its aerodynamic
properties in a wind tunnel.
981
00:55:46,022 --> 00:55:49,529
But just how would
this ancient design hold up
982
00:55:49,629 --> 00:55:52,100
when put to the test?
983
00:55:56,610 --> 00:55:59,114
NARRATOR: University
of California at Irvine.
984
00:55:59,214 --> 00:56:01,553
April 2017.
985
00:56:04,292 --> 00:56:06,997
Aerospace engineer Travis Taylor
has obtained
986
00:56:07,097 --> 00:56:10,838
a model of an aircraft
whose design specifications
987
00:56:10,905 --> 00:56:13,443
are based solely
on information gleaned
988
00:56:13,544 --> 00:56:15,982
from ancient Indian texts
that are believed
989
00:56:16,082 --> 00:56:20,390
to have been formally
set to writing in 500 BC.
990
00:56:22,060 --> 00:56:24,499
He is going to subject it
to wind tunnel analysis
991
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,941
to determine if it is
a viable flying machine.
992
00:56:29,810 --> 00:56:34,586
So explain to me what we've set
up here with that wind tunnel.
993
00:56:34,686 --> 00:56:38,293
Okay, so this is
our aerospace vehicle model.
994
00:56:38,359 --> 00:56:39,663
It's connected to this boom.
995
00:56:39,797 --> 00:56:41,733
The armature
has a force gauge on it.
996
00:56:41,833 --> 00:56:43,504
We're gonna have airflow
go past it
997
00:56:43,604 --> 00:56:45,608
at about 50 miles per hour
or so.
998
00:56:45,708 --> 00:56:48,581
And then we're gonna
measure forces against it
999
00:56:48,681 --> 00:56:51,119
to determine if, uh,
if it's gonna fly or not.
1000
00:56:51,219 --> 00:56:54,827
And so what are the signs
that you're looking for
1001
00:56:54,927 --> 00:56:57,231
in order to determine
whether this is,
1002
00:56:57,331 --> 00:56:59,501
in fact, aerodynamically sound?
1003
00:56:59,602 --> 00:57:02,308
Right, so we're gonna measure
the, uh, normal force.
1004
00:57:02,408 --> 00:57:04,011
And the normal force is
up or down.
1005
00:57:04,145 --> 00:57:06,617
Uh, if it starts to move up,
then that'll be exciting,
1006
00:57:06,717 --> 00:57:08,721
because it's actually
going to be rising
1007
00:57:08,821 --> 00:57:10,256
and that's how you get flight.
1008
00:57:10,357 --> 00:57:11,827
You know,
when the airplane turns up
1009
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:13,497
and it starts to move,
it's because it's getting lift.
1010
00:57:13,598 --> 00:57:14,967
Uh, the other thing is,
I don't want to see it
1011
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,603
going real bad side to side,
1012
00:57:16,703 --> 00:57:18,541
or-or real bad chatter
up and down,
1013
00:57:18,641 --> 00:57:20,177
because that would mean
it's unstable.
1014
00:57:20,277 --> 00:57:21,513
All right, well, let's do it.
1015
00:57:21,613 --> 00:57:22,915
Let's fire her up
and see what happens.
1016
00:57:23,016 --> 00:57:24,218
Yeah, let's do it.
1017
00:57:25,387 --> 00:57:26,389
(beep)
1018
00:57:26,489 --> 00:57:28,727
(whirring)
1019
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,303
The flow is coming up to speed.
1020
00:57:33,403 --> 00:57:35,040
Yep.
1021
00:57:35,140 --> 00:57:38,647
NARRATOR:
While being subjected to 50-mile-an-hour winds,
1022
00:57:38,747 --> 00:57:41,319
the craft exhibits
a slight lift upwards
1023
00:57:41,453 --> 00:57:43,591
yet remains relatively steady.
1024
00:57:43,691 --> 00:57:45,962
No side to side wobble.
1025
00:57:46,062 --> 00:57:47,632
Okay.
1026
00:57:47,732 --> 00:57:49,703
NARRATOR:
Sensors record the measurements
1027
00:57:49,803 --> 00:57:52,842
of various forces,
as well as torque and pitch
1028
00:57:52,975 --> 00:57:57,519
to determine just
how aerodynamic the body is.
1029
00:57:57,619 --> 00:58:00,256
It looks very stable.
1030
00:58:06,102 --> 00:58:09,510
All right.
So let's look at the results.
1031
00:58:09,643 --> 00:58:12,715
So what happened during the test
was the normal force,
1032
00:58:12,816 --> 00:58:14,853
which is where we measure
the lift,
1033
00:58:14,919 --> 00:58:19,662
it was positive between .03
and .06 pounds of force.
1034
00:58:19,762 --> 00:58:21,967
That means
we were measuring lift.
1035
00:58:22,067 --> 00:58:25,575
So our vehicle
in the wind tunnel experiment
1036
00:58:25,675 --> 00:58:28,714
was showing positive lift
like an aircraft would.
1037
00:58:28,815 --> 00:58:32,889
Did you expect these results
from a shape that's like that?
1038
00:58:33,023 --> 00:58:35,995
Well, the shape looks like
a lifting body to me.
1039
00:58:36,095 --> 00:58:37,933
But you never know until
you actually do the experiment.
1040
00:58:38,033 --> 00:58:41,406
And we have experimental results
now that says it is.
1041
00:58:41,472 --> 00:58:42,842
So that's the exciting part.
1042
00:58:42,942 --> 00:58:45,114
And-and what do you say
to anyone,
1043
00:58:45,214 --> 00:58:48,453
uh, who questions the idea
that this information
1044
00:58:48,554 --> 00:58:51,426
has been taken from
a text that's at least
1045
00:58:51,527 --> 00:58:53,731
1,800 years old?
1046
00:58:53,831 --> 00:58:55,467
The only thing you can say is
1047
00:58:55,602 --> 00:58:58,841
we performed
a good scientific experiment,
1048
00:58:58,907 --> 00:59:02,616
and the results were
that the shape made
1049
00:59:02,716 --> 00:59:06,890
from those texts is
a viable aerodynamic structure.
1050
00:59:09,028 --> 00:59:12,301
NARRATOR:
The aircraft model created using details garnered
1051
00:59:12,401 --> 00:59:17,210
from the ancient Indian texts
has proven to be flight-worthy.
1052
00:59:18,312 --> 00:59:20,183
Is it possible that by studying
1053
00:59:20,250 --> 00:59:23,390
the ancient Indian texts,
we may be able to recreate
1054
00:59:23,490 --> 00:59:28,834
advanced technology that existed
thousands of years ago in India?
1055
00:59:30,170 --> 00:59:34,445
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that the texts
1056
00:59:34,546 --> 00:59:38,854
may also contain details
for advanced spacecraft.
1057
00:59:43,664 --> 00:59:47,371
Hindu scholars point out
that stories of space travel
1058
00:59:47,471 --> 00:59:49,241
can be found
throughout the pages
1059
00:59:49,375 --> 00:59:51,880
of the ancient Sanskrit texts.
1060
00:59:51,980 --> 00:59:56,690
There are even detailed accounts
of humans entering flying crafts
1061
00:59:56,790 --> 01:00:00,396
and being transported
to other solar systems.
1062
01:00:01,733 --> 01:00:04,639
MOHAN:
In the ancient texts of Vishnu Purana,
1063
01:00:04,739 --> 01:00:09,315
Lord Vishnu decides to take
Dhruva, a human being,
1064
01:00:09,382 --> 01:00:12,254
through an interstellar journey.
1065
01:00:12,354 --> 01:00:15,828
We know this because
it is specifically stated
1066
01:00:15,928 --> 01:00:18,332
that Dhruva
would be taken beyond
1067
01:00:18,432 --> 01:00:20,905
planets like Mercury, Venus,
1068
01:00:20,972 --> 01:00:24,513
and even beyond
some other stars.
1069
01:00:24,613 --> 01:00:26,115
CHILDRESS:
According to the text,
1070
01:00:26,248 --> 01:00:31,192
he went past seven planetary
systems in a physical craft
1071
01:00:31,292 --> 01:00:34,198
and eventually he reached
the solar system
1072
01:00:34,331 --> 01:00:36,704
and planet of Vishnuloka,
1073
01:00:36,804 --> 01:00:41,011
the planet that Vishnu
is said to have come from.
1074
01:00:41,111 --> 01:00:44,384
So here we have
the story of extraterrestrials
1075
01:00:44,451 --> 01:00:47,792
taking a human
to another solar system.
1076
01:00:50,297 --> 01:00:53,236
NARRATOR:
Although few details exist of the craft
1077
01:00:53,336 --> 01:00:56,677
Dhruva was transported in,
scholars have noted
1078
01:00:56,777 --> 01:00:59,014
that highly specific
descriptions
1079
01:00:59,114 --> 01:01:03,590
of space vehicles can be found
throughout the texts.
1080
01:01:03,690 --> 01:01:06,863
In 2014, in an article
1081
01:01:06,963 --> 01:01:10,505
in the Journal of Engineering
and Innovative Technology
1082
01:01:10,605 --> 01:01:13,042
titled "Vedic Ion Engine,"
1083
01:01:13,175 --> 01:01:16,449
a team of aerospace scientists
posed the theory
1084
01:01:16,550 --> 01:01:20,023
that what is being described
in a thousand-year-old text
1085
01:01:20,123 --> 01:01:22,595
called the
Samarangana Sutradhara
1086
01:01:22,695 --> 01:01:28,339
is a modern ion mercury vortex
engine used for space travel.
1087
01:01:29,107 --> 01:01:31,880
TAYLOR:
In the Samarangana Sutradhara text,
1088
01:01:31,980 --> 01:01:34,953
there's a description
of an engine that uses mercury,
1089
01:01:35,053 --> 01:01:37,792
and the mercury swirls
in a vortex,
1090
01:01:37,892 --> 01:01:41,634
and it uses the heat from
perhaps solar power to create
1091
01:01:41,734 --> 01:01:44,939
some type of flying capability.
1092
01:01:45,006 --> 01:01:47,512
My thought on this
is it sounds a lot like
1093
01:01:47,612 --> 01:01:50,150
an ion engine.
1094
01:01:50,284 --> 01:01:54,024
It puts out a small amount of
thrust but for a very long time.
1095
01:01:54,158 --> 01:01:55,962
And that's why ion engines are
1096
01:01:56,062 --> 01:01:59,869
uniquely perfect
for interspace travel.
1097
01:02:04,713 --> 01:02:08,954
NARRATOR:
In 2007, NASA launched the Dawn spacecraft,
1098
01:02:09,054 --> 01:02:13,196
which used a conventional
multistage chemical rocket
1099
01:02:13,296 --> 01:02:15,668
to blast off from Earth,
1100
01:02:15,801 --> 01:02:17,571
but then switched
to an ion engine
1101
01:02:17,672 --> 01:02:21,546
for its journey
through deep space.
1102
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,251
Crucial to that mission
was an ion thruster.
1103
01:02:24,384 --> 01:02:28,928
And it gets its energy
from solar panels.
1104
01:02:29,028 --> 01:02:32,768
So here, you have this
solar-powered ion thruster
1105
01:02:32,835 --> 01:02:34,806
with this vortex
in the middle of it
1106
01:02:34,906 --> 01:02:36,843
going out to the asteroid belt,
1107
01:02:36,943 --> 01:02:40,183
and it's described
in the Sanskrit texts.
1108
01:02:44,291 --> 01:02:47,999
NARRATOR:
If information detailing previously lost technology
1109
01:02:48,099 --> 01:02:51,371
was purposely left
for humans to rediscover,
1110
01:02:51,472 --> 01:02:56,851
are we now sufficiently advanced
to successfully replicate it?
1111
01:02:56,951 --> 01:02:59,556
And if so, are there
any other developments,
1112
01:02:59,656 --> 01:03:02,261
beyond ancient space travel,
1113
01:03:02,361 --> 01:03:05,834
that scientists
have been able to exploit?
1114
01:03:14,819 --> 01:03:18,927
NARRATOR:
Mahabalipuram, India.
1115
01:03:19,996 --> 01:03:21,567
While at a local library
1116
01:03:21,667 --> 01:03:25,340
with fellow ancient astronaut
theorist Praveen Mohan,
1117
01:03:25,407 --> 01:03:27,879
Giorgio Tsoukalos gets
a firsthand look
1118
01:03:28,012 --> 01:03:30,450
at early copies
of some of India's
1119
01:03:30,518 --> 01:03:33,122
most important ancient texts.
1120
01:03:33,222 --> 01:03:34,893
MOHAN:
And now, let me show you the other book.
1121
01:03:34,993 --> 01:03:37,197
This is the Bhagavad Gita.
1122
01:03:37,298 --> 01:03:39,302
NARRATOR:
Among the most influential
1123
01:03:39,368 --> 01:03:40,904
is the Bhagavad Gita,
1124
01:03:41,004 --> 01:03:45,012
part of the 13,000-page epic
called the Mahabharata,
1125
01:03:45,079 --> 01:03:48,119
which contains
19 individual books.
1126
01:03:48,219 --> 01:03:52,027
MOHAN:
Historians think this text was written
1127
01:03:52,127 --> 01:03:56,034
around 500 BC,
so this book is 2,500 years old.
1128
01:03:56,135 --> 01:03:59,375
- Okay.
- But according to "mythology,"
1129
01:03:59,475 --> 01:04:03,349
this was supposed to be written
at least 10,000 years ago.
1130
01:04:03,449 --> 01:04:05,186
(chuckles):
Okay.
1131
01:04:05,286 --> 01:04:09,094
It's a very popular book,
and some people even say
1132
01:04:09,194 --> 01:04:12,869
atomic science
is hidden in this book.
1133
01:04:13,003 --> 01:04:17,310
Not just regular people
but modern physicists.
1134
01:04:17,410 --> 01:04:21,152
So the argument can be made
that the knowledge of,
1135
01:04:21,252 --> 01:04:22,955
- for example, the atom...
- Mm-hmm.
1136
01:04:23,055 --> 01:04:24,559
...is contained in a book...
1137
01:04:24,659 --> 01:04:28,801
- Yes.
- ...that is at least 2,500 years old.
1138
01:04:28,901 --> 01:04:32,776
And some stories say
that it was given
1139
01:04:32,876 --> 01:04:35,781
- by an otherworldly being.
- Yes.
1140
01:04:35,848 --> 01:04:37,852
- Okay.
- Even Robert Oppenheimer,
1141
01:04:37,952 --> 01:04:39,756
- who is the father
of atomic bomb... - Mm-hmm.
1142
01:04:39,823 --> 01:04:42,695
...uh, was fascinated
by this book.
1143
01:04:42,762 --> 01:04:44,866
- Really? Wow, okay.
- Yes.
1144
01:04:44,966 --> 01:04:47,137
TSOUKALOS:
That's interesting.
1145
01:04:54,017 --> 01:04:55,788
NARRATOR:
Jornada del Muerto desert.
1146
01:04:55,921 --> 01:05:01,498
New Mexico. July 16, 1945.
1147
01:05:01,599 --> 01:05:03,369
In the middle of the barren
1148
01:05:03,470 --> 01:05:06,710
Alamogordo Bombing
and Gunnery Range,
1149
01:05:06,810 --> 01:05:10,684
scientists detonate the first
man-made nuclear weapon.
1150
01:05:15,795 --> 01:05:21,238
The destruction was comparable
to no other weapon known to man.
1151
01:05:22,809 --> 01:05:26,415
The father of the atomic bomb
was J. Robert Oppenheimer,
1152
01:05:26,517 --> 01:05:29,388
the leader
of the Manhattan Project,
1153
01:05:29,454 --> 01:05:32,895
a secret government program
created to develop
1154
01:05:33,029 --> 01:05:35,567
such a weapon.
1155
01:05:35,667 --> 01:05:39,408
Oppenheimer, when he saw
the successful nuclear test
1156
01:05:39,509 --> 01:05:43,583
and realized what a terrible
weapon he was unleashing...
1157
01:05:44,886 --> 01:05:47,024
...he quoted
the Bhagavad Gita's,
1158
01:05:47,090 --> 01:05:50,496
"I am become death,
the destroyer of worlds."
1159
01:05:55,842 --> 01:05:59,616
NARRATOR:
Oppenheimer's interest in ancient Sanskrit literature
1160
01:05:59,716 --> 01:06:01,520
began while he was a professor
1161
01:06:01,620 --> 01:06:04,258
at the University
of California, Berkeley,
1162
01:06:04,358 --> 01:06:06,462
and was introduced to the texts
1163
01:06:06,563 --> 01:06:10,136
by renowned scholar
Arthur W. Ryder.
1164
01:06:10,236 --> 01:06:12,006
Under Ryder's tutelage,
1165
01:06:12,140 --> 01:06:15,213
Oppenheimer extensively studied
the Vedic scriptures
1166
01:06:15,313 --> 01:06:18,620
and became proficient
in Sanskrit.
1167
01:06:19,622 --> 01:06:23,262
According to his biographers,
he kept a hardcover
1168
01:06:23,363 --> 01:06:25,767
of the Bhagavad Gita
on his bookshelf
1169
01:06:25,868 --> 01:06:29,776
and was known to give copies
away to his friends as gifts.
1170
01:06:29,876 --> 01:06:34,184
BRANDENBURG:
One of the ideas that's deep within the Vedic scriptures,
1171
01:06:34,284 --> 01:06:37,959
the Bhagavad Gita,
is the idea of duty.
1172
01:06:38,026 --> 01:06:40,631
He felt it was his duty
to do this,
1173
01:06:40,698 --> 01:06:43,670
even though it would be
a terrible thing, he realized,
1174
01:06:43,770 --> 01:06:46,275
to develop
this new nuclear weapon.
1175
01:06:46,375 --> 01:06:50,483
So he believed he was
part of a cosmic cycle,
1176
01:06:50,584 --> 01:06:54,491
and we had to do this
to advance.
1177
01:06:54,592 --> 01:06:58,466
Perhaps he knew that,
by developing the atomic bomb,
1178
01:06:58,567 --> 01:07:01,405
we were actually reconnecting
with technologies
1179
01:07:01,506 --> 01:07:06,281
that we had been exposed to
many thousands of years before.
1180
01:07:07,952 --> 01:07:09,522
NARRATOR:
One of the key ideas found
1181
01:07:09,622 --> 01:07:11,258
within the Indian texts
1182
01:07:11,358 --> 01:07:15,366
is the concept of the
cyclical nature of existence,
1183
01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:17,872
that once we complete
a cosmic cycle,
1184
01:07:17,972 --> 01:07:21,914
it just begins once more.
1185
01:07:22,014 --> 01:07:24,619
Oppenheimer himself came to see
1186
01:07:24,685 --> 01:07:29,194
that he was, in a sense,
fulfilling some ancient destiny,
1187
01:07:29,294 --> 01:07:31,667
and that this weapon
could ultimately be used
1188
01:07:31,767 --> 01:07:34,539
to stop a major war,
which is exactly what happened.
1189
01:07:34,639 --> 01:07:37,511
It totally broke the momentum
of World War II.
1190
01:07:37,611 --> 01:07:40,283
In that sense,
he was seeing that he was,
1191
01:07:40,383 --> 01:07:42,487
in some way,
fulfilling a destiny
1192
01:07:42,588 --> 01:07:46,461
that came to him from
a seemingly supernatural source,
1193
01:07:46,563 --> 01:07:51,272
i.e., extraterrestrial gods
who influenced ancient India.
1194
01:07:51,372 --> 01:07:54,579
NARRATOR:
If Oppenheimer's work on the atomic bomb
1195
01:07:54,679 --> 01:07:58,019
was inspired
by the ancient Indian texts,
1196
01:07:58,086 --> 01:08:01,325
could this mean
that similar weapons
1197
01:08:01,459 --> 01:08:05,767
actually existed on Earth
thousands of years ago?
1198
01:08:12,147 --> 01:08:13,249
Thar Desert.
1199
01:08:13,349 --> 01:08:17,591
Rajasthan, India. 1992.
1200
01:08:19,394 --> 01:08:21,733
Engineers conducting
soil sampling at a site
1201
01:08:21,866 --> 01:08:24,539
where a housing development
was to be built
1202
01:08:24,639 --> 01:08:29,582
discover a heavy layer of
radioactive ash under the soil.
1203
01:08:31,352 --> 01:08:35,259
Further examination reveals
the contamination stretches
1204
01:08:35,359 --> 01:08:39,602
across a three-square-mile
area of the desert.
1205
01:08:39,703 --> 01:08:41,773
MOHAN:
After cordoning off the area,
1206
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:49,387
scientists unearthed a city with
completely demolished buildings.
1207
01:08:55,266 --> 01:08:58,773
HENRY:
Scientists have discovered a radioactive ash
1208
01:08:58,907 --> 01:09:02,548
that they believe dates
to 8,000 to 12,000 years ago,
1209
01:09:02,648 --> 01:09:06,723
that shows evidence of a
nuclear blast in ancient times.
1210
01:09:08,292 --> 01:09:10,931
This is very interesting
because the Sanskrit texts
1211
01:09:11,032 --> 01:09:13,469
describe exactly
this type of occurrence
1212
01:09:13,570 --> 01:09:16,776
in this era in ancient times.
1213
01:09:19,114 --> 01:09:20,450
NARRATOR:
In the Ramayana,
1214
01:09:20,585 --> 01:09:23,456
one of the major
ancient Sanskrit epics,
1215
01:09:23,557 --> 01:09:25,927
a mighty weapon
of the god Brahma,
1216
01:09:25,994 --> 01:09:28,499
called the Brahmastra,
is described
1217
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:30,370
as a weapon of immense power
1218
01:09:30,470 --> 01:09:33,309
intended to rain down
destruction from above.
1219
01:09:33,409 --> 01:09:38,620
Brahma provided this weapon
to the hero Rama
1220
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,094
as a last resort after all
conventional means of warfare
1221
01:09:42,194 --> 01:09:45,868
failed in his battle
against the demon king.
1222
01:09:46,903 --> 01:09:50,409
SHIMKHADA:
The Brahmastra is the deadliest weapon there is
1223
01:09:50,510 --> 01:09:52,515
in the history of humankind.
1224
01:09:52,615 --> 01:09:55,219
It is like a nuclear,
uh, device,
1225
01:09:55,286 --> 01:09:56,857
uh, that can be detonated,
1226
01:09:56,957 --> 01:10:00,931
and then it would have
a very devastating effect.
1227
01:10:02,300 --> 01:10:03,837
Once it was fired, its effect
1228
01:10:03,904 --> 01:10:07,410
fell on a lot of animals,
and then they dropped dead,
1229
01:10:07,511 --> 01:10:10,483
and, also, people,
they started losing their nails,
1230
01:10:10,584 --> 01:10:13,456
their hair,
and they could not breathe.
1231
01:10:13,557 --> 01:10:19,736
Rama fires the Brahmastra
weapon upon Drumatulya.
1232
01:10:19,802 --> 01:10:22,207
It is commonly accepted
1233
01:10:22,307 --> 01:10:25,714
that this is in Rajasthan
in Pakistan.
1234
01:10:25,848 --> 01:10:31,626
It's the 19th largest desert
in the world.
1235
01:10:31,759 --> 01:10:33,997
NARRATOR:
Does the layer of radioactive ash
1236
01:10:34,064 --> 01:10:37,538
recently discovered
in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan
1237
01:10:37,672 --> 01:10:40,377
provide proof that the stories
1238
01:10:40,477 --> 01:10:44,250
recorded in the ancient
scriptures have merit?
1239
01:10:47,323 --> 01:10:49,862
Nuclear warfare,
1240
01:10:49,962 --> 01:10:54,037
space travel, flying craft.
1241
01:10:54,170 --> 01:10:57,612
Might there be greater truth
about our technological past
1242
01:10:57,712 --> 01:11:01,352
revealed in
the ancient Indian texts?
1243
01:11:01,452 --> 01:11:06,494
And if so, are they simply
a guide to move us forward,
1244
01:11:06,596 --> 01:11:12,741
or might they serve as a warning
for mankind's impending fate?
1245
01:11:16,481 --> 01:11:19,622
New Delhi, India.
1246
01:11:19,722 --> 01:11:23,396
Scholars at the National
Mission of Manuscripts
1247
01:11:23,496 --> 01:11:25,901
set out to translate
and preserve
1248
01:11:26,001 --> 01:11:29,775
what they estimate to be over
four million rare ancient texts
1249
01:11:29,842 --> 01:11:35,521
related to various disciplines,
including ancient science.
1250
01:11:35,621 --> 01:11:37,758
Many of these texts
had been preserved
1251
01:11:37,858 --> 01:11:40,731
on palm leaves,
and are believed to be scattered
1252
01:11:40,831 --> 01:11:44,304
in obscure locations
throughout the subcontinent.
1253
01:11:44,404 --> 01:11:47,077
Currently, less than ten percent
1254
01:11:47,177 --> 01:11:50,651
of the ancient writings
of India have been published,
1255
01:11:50,751 --> 01:11:52,922
and no one is certain
what secrets lie hidden
1256
01:11:53,022 --> 01:11:56,863
in these remaining
undeciphered manuscripts.
1257
01:11:57,898 --> 01:12:00,937
Is it possible
that the road map for our future
1258
01:12:01,037 --> 01:12:02,608
is yet to be revealed
1259
01:12:02,708 --> 01:12:06,281
by studying
these ancient Indian texts?
1260
01:12:06,381 --> 01:12:09,388
BRANDENBURG:
These texts should be consulted
1261
01:12:09,522 --> 01:12:11,793
as we evolve into a world
1262
01:12:11,860 --> 01:12:13,963
that's-- is full of
so many unknowns,
1263
01:12:14,064 --> 01:12:18,740
and the Vedic scriptures are
a vast storehouse of knowledge.
1264
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,514
And by not consulting them,
who knows?
1265
01:12:22,581 --> 01:12:24,919
We may be missing
something vital.
1266
01:12:27,290 --> 01:12:32,333
HENRY:
We would be well served to go back to the Hindu texts,
1267
01:12:32,433 --> 01:12:35,574
and recognize that perhaps
we've been here before.
1268
01:12:35,674 --> 01:12:40,383
The Vedic text offers
the key to us to move forward.
1269
01:12:40,483 --> 01:12:43,489
Conversely, it could well be
that ignoring it
1270
01:12:43,590 --> 01:12:45,560
will be at our own peril,
1271
01:12:45,694 --> 01:12:48,900
and that we could, in fact,
face our end.
1272
01:12:48,966 --> 01:12:50,771
CHILDRESS:
What I really think is important here
1273
01:12:50,871 --> 01:12:55,614
is that we pay more attention
to these ancient texts,
1274
01:12:55,714 --> 01:12:57,718
and try to learn
what we can from them,
1275
01:12:57,784 --> 01:13:00,690
because this is the gods,
the extraterrestrials,
1276
01:13:00,790 --> 01:13:02,894
giving us this information.
1277
01:13:05,634 --> 01:13:07,503
NARRATOR:
Do the voices of the gods,
1278
01:13:07,571 --> 01:13:10,678
as written in the pages
of India's ancient texts,
1279
01:13:10,778 --> 01:13:15,521
really contain information
left for us to discover?
1280
01:13:15,621 --> 01:13:20,029
And if so, is it possible
that this information
1281
01:13:20,129 --> 01:13:22,634
has been securely hidden away,
1282
01:13:22,768 --> 01:13:27,276
awaiting the moment when humans
are ready to learn the truth?
1283
01:13:27,377 --> 01:13:30,149
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
1284
01:13:30,249 --> 01:13:32,688
and suggest
there are still chapters
1285
01:13:32,788 --> 01:13:35,994
of the Book of Enoch
we have yet to uncover.
1286
01:13:36,161 --> 01:13:42,006
Chapters that may be hidden
within the Great Pyramid.
1287
01:13:47,483 --> 01:13:48,687
NARRATOR:
Cairo, Egypt.
1288
01:13:48,787 --> 01:13:51,626
Here, on the Giza Plateau,
1289
01:13:51,726 --> 01:13:56,167
stands the oldest of the seven
wonders of the ancient world,
1290
01:13:56,268 --> 01:13:59,007
the Great Pyramid.
1291
01:13:59,107 --> 01:14:01,344
But ancient astronaut
theorists suspect
1292
01:14:01,445 --> 01:14:03,817
this awesome structure
is even older
1293
01:14:03,917 --> 01:14:06,856
than Egyptologists
have proposed.
1294
01:14:06,956 --> 01:14:12,166
Mainstream archaeologists date
the Great Pyramid to 2500 BC,
1295
01:14:12,266 --> 01:14:16,375
and suggest it was built
as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu.
1296
01:14:16,509 --> 01:14:19,582
However, according
to a 14th century account
1297
01:14:19,682 --> 01:14:23,021
written by Islamic historian
Ibrahim al-Maqrizi,
1298
01:14:23,155 --> 01:14:26,863
the Pyramid of Giza was built
thousands of years earlier,
1299
01:14:26,963 --> 01:14:29,935
before the event described
in both the Hebrew Bible
1300
01:14:30,069 --> 01:14:32,775
and the Book of Enoch
as the Great Flood.
1301
01:14:32,875 --> 01:14:35,079
VON D รNIKEN:
Now what is very, very astonishing,
1302
01:14:35,179 --> 01:14:38,286
there are many other
old historian books--
1303
01:14:38,386 --> 01:14:39,822
especially Arabian historians--
1304
01:14:39,922 --> 01:14:42,360
which nobody knows
in the Western world.
1305
01:14:42,460 --> 01:14:45,901
They say the Great Pyramid
was constructed
1306
01:14:46,001 --> 01:14:49,174
before the Great Flood,
by a pharaoh
1307
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:50,844
with the name of Surid,
1308
01:14:50,944 --> 01:14:54,719
and they precisely say Surid
is the same figure
1309
01:14:54,819 --> 01:14:58,024
which the Hebrew community
calls Enoch.
1310
01:14:59,293 --> 01:15:02,801
NARRATOR:
Enoch, the builder of the Great Pyramid?
1311
01:15:02,902 --> 01:15:06,208
Could such an incredible notion
be true?
1312
01:15:06,341 --> 01:15:09,080
The Islamic text
goes on to detail
1313
01:15:09,180 --> 01:15:10,784
the pyramid's construction,
1314
01:15:10,884 --> 01:15:15,460
which it says was made possible
by otherworldly beings.
1315
01:15:15,527 --> 01:15:18,667
TSOUKALOS:
According to al-Maqrizi,
1316
01:15:18,767 --> 01:15:22,975
the pyramids were built
in order to preserve knowledge
1317
01:15:23,075 --> 01:15:27,116
that was given to the Egyptians
by the so-called gods,
1318
01:15:27,183 --> 01:15:30,456
the so-called watchers,
the guardians of the sky.
1319
01:15:30,557 --> 01:15:32,594
These blocks were levitated,
1320
01:15:32,727 --> 01:15:36,267
and essentially walked
themselves into position.
1321
01:15:36,401 --> 01:15:40,944
NARRATOR:
Was the Great Pyramid actually built by Enoch
1322
01:15:41,044 --> 01:15:44,151
using extraterrestrial
technology?
1323
01:15:44,251 --> 01:15:46,556
While it may sound far-fetched,
1324
01:15:46,656 --> 01:15:48,594
the notion
that the pharaoh Khufu
1325
01:15:48,694 --> 01:15:51,197
was behind the construction
of the pyramid
1326
01:15:51,331 --> 01:15:53,803
has come under great scrutiny.
1327
01:15:55,039 --> 01:15:59,548
In 1837, a British colonel
who became an archeologist
1328
01:15:59,648 --> 01:16:03,990
named Richard Howard Vyse
used dynamite
1329
01:16:04,090 --> 01:16:08,700
to get up into the King's
Chamber of the Great Pyramid.
1330
01:16:08,833 --> 01:16:10,771
This was something
that had not been entered
1331
01:16:10,871 --> 01:16:13,677
by other archeologists before.
1332
01:16:13,777 --> 01:16:15,847
When he got into
these upper chambers,
1333
01:16:15,947 --> 01:16:19,756
he then apparently claimed
that he found,
1334
01:16:19,856 --> 01:16:23,262
uh, some hieroglyphic cartouches
1335
01:16:23,362 --> 01:16:26,969
that mentioned
the pharaoh Khufu.
1336
01:16:27,069 --> 01:16:29,908
Egyptologists knew
when Khufu lived.
1337
01:16:30,008 --> 01:16:33,883
He lived 2500, roughly, BC.
1338
01:16:33,983 --> 01:16:36,623
And because of that,
by extension,
1339
01:16:36,723 --> 01:16:38,793
that became
the timeline and the date
1340
01:16:38,894 --> 01:16:41,298
of the Great Pyramid's
construction,
1341
01:16:41,398 --> 01:16:43,769
according to mainstream
Egyptology.
1342
01:16:45,106 --> 01:16:46,642
NARRATOR:
Colonel Vyse's expedition to the Great Pyramid
1343
01:16:46,743 --> 01:16:49,915
cost $1.3 million,
1344
01:16:50,016 --> 01:16:53,857
a figure equal
to $35 million today.
1345
01:16:53,957 --> 01:16:57,163
Due to the cost, Vyse was under
tremendous pressure
1346
01:16:57,230 --> 01:16:59,200
to make a major discovery,
1347
01:16:59,300 --> 01:17:01,605
like finding hard evidence
of who commissioned
1348
01:17:01,705 --> 01:17:04,043
the building of the pyramid.
1349
01:17:04,143 --> 01:17:06,649
But new evidence has been found
that some believe
1350
01:17:06,750 --> 01:17:10,022
puts Vyse's discovery
into question.
1351
01:17:10,122 --> 01:17:12,928
Recently,
it has been discovered,
1352
01:17:13,028 --> 01:17:16,869
by going through, uh,
Vyse's journals,
1353
01:17:16,969 --> 01:17:19,675
that he, in his journals,
actually says
1354
01:17:19,775 --> 01:17:24,250
that there were no hieroglyphs
within this chamber.
1355
01:17:24,350 --> 01:17:27,591
And so, it is suspected
that Vyse did, in fact,
1356
01:17:27,691 --> 01:17:32,233
forge this cartouche
of the pharaoh Khufu.
1357
01:17:32,333 --> 01:17:35,541
NARRATOR:
Egyptologists have also pointed out
1358
01:17:35,641 --> 01:17:37,578
that during the time of Khufu,
1359
01:17:37,712 --> 01:17:39,782
cartouches were
written vertically,
1360
01:17:39,882 --> 01:17:42,654
but the cartouche Colonel Vyse
claimed to have discovered
1361
01:17:42,754 --> 01:17:45,126
was written horizontally.
1362
01:17:45,226 --> 01:17:49,601
And no mummy was ever found
inside the Great Pyramid.
1363
01:17:49,701 --> 01:17:52,239
VON D รNIKEN:
Especially in Egyptology,
1364
01:17:52,339 --> 01:17:55,847
many archeologists believe
that they know everything,
1365
01:17:55,948 --> 01:17:58,218
and that their knowledge
is a true base.
1366
01:17:58,318 --> 01:18:01,892
In reality, there are
thousands of open questions,
1367
01:18:02,026 --> 01:18:05,633
starting with the builder
of the Great Pyramid.
1368
01:18:05,733 --> 01:18:08,138
NARRATOR:
In March 2016,
1369
01:18:08,238 --> 01:18:11,344
the Great Pyramid of Giza
presented researchers
1370
01:18:11,411 --> 01:18:13,348
with yet another mystery.
1371
01:18:13,448 --> 01:18:16,522
Archeologists examining
the ancient structure
1372
01:18:16,622 --> 01:18:19,026
with a new technology
known as muography
1373
01:18:19,093 --> 01:18:21,264
made a shocking discovery:
1374
01:18:21,364 --> 01:18:24,237
a mysterious chamber
inside the structure
1375
01:18:24,371 --> 01:18:27,845
that is as large
as the Statue of Liberty.
1376
01:18:27,911 --> 01:18:29,347
CHILDRESS:
It's always exciting
1377
01:18:29,447 --> 01:18:31,719
when Egyptologists
are making new discoveries
1378
01:18:31,786 --> 01:18:35,192
inside, uh, the Great Pyramid
or other pyramids.
1379
01:18:35,292 --> 01:18:39,769
And now they're saying
that there is a 30-meter void
1380
01:18:39,869 --> 01:18:42,708
inside the pyramid.
1381
01:18:42,808 --> 01:18:45,580
So, the whole idea
that these pyramids
1382
01:18:45,681 --> 01:18:49,087
are just simple tombs
for a pharaoh,
1383
01:18:49,187 --> 01:18:53,763
Egyptologists now realize that
they're far more complicated.
1384
01:18:53,897 --> 01:18:58,105
This new room
is only the beginning of it.
1385
01:18:58,205 --> 01:19:01,745
I'm sure, within the next
months, or at least two years,
1386
01:19:01,845 --> 01:19:04,952
they will discover more rooms
in the Great Pyramid.
1387
01:19:05,018 --> 01:19:09,393
I personally think
that the Great Pyramid in Egypt
1388
01:19:09,528 --> 01:19:12,266
holds some sort of time capsule.
1389
01:19:12,366 --> 01:19:16,207
In my opinion,
we will find mummies in there.
1390
01:19:16,307 --> 01:19:18,211
Mummies of before
the Great Flood.
1391
01:19:18,312 --> 01:19:20,416
And we will find writings
in there.
1392
01:19:20,482 --> 01:19:25,192
Writings of Enoch
who tell us how it all was.
1393
01:19:25,292 --> 01:19:27,698
Enoch knew
that all these writings
1394
01:19:27,798 --> 01:19:30,235
would be found
in the far future.
1395
01:19:31,739 --> 01:19:33,074
NARRATOR:
A time capsule
1396
01:19:33,174 --> 01:19:35,981
hidden within
the Great Pyramid of Giza?
1397
01:19:36,081 --> 01:19:39,856
When the Great Pyramid of Egypt
is fully excavated,
1398
01:19:39,956 --> 01:19:42,427
could it be found to hold
undeniable proof
1399
01:19:42,528 --> 01:19:44,264
that the Book of Enoch documents
1400
01:19:44,364 --> 01:19:47,469
extraterrestrial
intervention on Earth?
1401
01:19:47,570 --> 01:19:51,846
And might it reveal
even more profound truths
1402
01:19:51,913 --> 01:19:54,383
about the history of humankind?
1403
01:19:57,791 --> 01:20:01,932
The Book of Enoch, chapter 91.
1404
01:20:03,703 --> 01:20:05,841
After journeying through
the heavenly realm
1405
01:20:05,941 --> 01:20:08,879
and returning to Earth,
Enoch is preparing
1406
01:20:09,013 --> 01:20:12,086
to be taken back up
into the heavens once again.
1407
01:20:12,186 --> 01:20:15,426
Before he leaves, Enoch gathers
together his family,
1408
01:20:15,527 --> 01:20:19,367
and shares with them
a startling prophecy.
1409
01:20:20,469 --> 01:20:22,640
He assembles the whole family.
1410
01:20:22,774 --> 01:20:25,780
The oldest of his son
was Methuselah,
1411
01:20:25,880 --> 01:20:27,349
the biblical Methuselah.
1412
01:20:28,853 --> 01:20:31,158
Methuselah asked his father,
1413
01:20:31,258 --> 01:20:34,464
"Enoch, will I see you again?"
1414
01:20:34,565 --> 01:20:37,403
And Enoch said,
"The guardians of the sky
1415
01:20:37,503 --> 01:20:41,846
"told me I will return
to this planet,
1416
01:20:41,946 --> 01:20:46,087
"but thousands of years
will have passed.
1417
01:20:46,187 --> 01:20:49,929
So, we will not see
each other again."
1418
01:20:50,062 --> 01:20:51,966
NARRATOR:
The concept of a divine figure
1419
01:20:52,066 --> 01:20:53,803
leaving and returning to Earth
1420
01:20:53,936 --> 01:20:57,511
is echoed across
almost every major religion.
1421
01:20:57,611 --> 01:20:59,314
HUSSAIN:
In the Jewish tradition,
1422
01:20:59,414 --> 01:21:02,220
there's the expectation
the Prophet Elijah
1423
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:05,226
will return before the messiah
1424
01:21:05,326 --> 01:21:08,031
and bring in this age of peace
and righteousness
1425
01:21:08,098 --> 01:21:11,004
that ushers in the end of time.
1426
01:21:11,104 --> 01:21:14,845
In the Christian tradition,
the return of Jesus,
1427
01:21:14,912 --> 01:21:17,684
who, for Christians,
is the messiah.
1428
01:21:17,785 --> 01:21:19,521
In the Islamic tradition,
you know,
1429
01:21:19,588 --> 01:21:21,892
it's either the al-Mahdi,
the divinely guided one,
1430
01:21:21,992 --> 01:21:23,462
or it's Muhammad
who will return.
1431
01:21:23,529 --> 01:21:27,671
In a sense,
this ushers in a brand-new age,
1432
01:21:27,771 --> 01:21:29,474
a brand-new
relationship with god,
1433
01:21:29,575 --> 01:21:32,212
a brand-new way
of existing in the world.
1434
01:21:32,312 --> 01:21:35,219
LITTLE:
There's a body of Hindu scriptures
1435
01:21:35,319 --> 01:21:37,189
known as the Puranas
and these tell
1436
01:21:37,289 --> 01:21:40,028
about the tenth
and final incarnation
1437
01:21:40,129 --> 01:21:41,965
of the god Vishnu
1438
01:21:42,065 --> 01:21:46,140
that comes at the end
of this present cycle of time.
1439
01:21:47,410 --> 01:21:49,782
These prophecies speak
of this messianic figure
1440
01:21:49,882 --> 01:21:52,687
riding upon the clouds of heaven
1441
01:21:52,788 --> 01:21:55,793
accompanied by the armies
of heaven.
1442
01:21:55,893 --> 01:21:57,096
This suggests
that we're talking about
1443
01:21:57,196 --> 01:22:00,402
some kind of
a vehicle or a craft.
1444
01:22:00,503 --> 01:22:04,044
TSOUKALOS:
This whole concept of the return of the gods,
1445
01:22:04,144 --> 01:22:07,049
well, who are we waiting for?
1446
01:22:07,182 --> 01:22:11,457
It will not be any of
these ancient "saintly figures"
1447
01:22:11,558 --> 01:22:14,631
or-or "holy figures," but
it will be extraterrestrials.
1448
01:22:14,731 --> 01:22:16,368
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
1449
01:22:16,468 --> 01:22:20,242
that some of humankind's
most sacred religious writings
1450
01:22:20,309 --> 01:22:23,716
document alien intervention
on Earth?
1451
01:22:23,850 --> 01:22:27,891
And if so,
did our ancient ancestors,
1452
01:22:27,991 --> 01:22:31,498
or perhaps the extraterrestrials
themselves,
1453
01:22:31,599 --> 01:22:35,740
deem it necessary to conceal
certain mysterious texts?
1454
01:22:35,807 --> 01:22:40,683
It is very, very evident from
other literature that we know
1455
01:22:40,784 --> 01:22:45,259
that there were secrets lost,
secrets of our ancient past,
1456
01:22:45,359 --> 01:22:47,764
secret of our connections
with other worlds
1457
01:22:47,831 --> 01:22:49,534
and other realities.
1458
01:22:49,634 --> 01:22:54,812
Does this speak about
our ancient alien connection?
1459
01:22:54,912 --> 01:22:56,481
Very, very possible.
1460
01:22:56,582 --> 01:22:59,387
There is no reason
to question that at all.
1461
01:22:59,487 --> 01:23:02,126
Because ultimately,
the truth is out there,
1462
01:23:02,226 --> 01:23:04,899
and the truth will be revealed.
1463
01:23:04,999 --> 01:23:06,902
NARRATOR:
Does the Book of Enoch
1464
01:23:07,002 --> 01:23:09,239
and other Apocrypha texts
1465
01:23:09,340 --> 01:23:14,050
contain profound revelations
about humankind's true history?
1466
01:23:14,117 --> 01:23:16,154
And might other
ancient manuscripts,
1467
01:23:16,254 --> 01:23:19,862
religious texts
and world mythologies
1468
01:23:19,928 --> 01:23:22,800
contain within them
undeniable evidence
1469
01:23:22,901 --> 01:23:27,911
of an extraterrestrial influence
on Earth in the distant past?
1470
01:23:28,011 --> 01:23:31,150
Evidence that someone
or something
1471
01:23:31,250 --> 01:23:35,125
may have chosen to share
with only a select few?
1472
01:23:35,225 --> 01:23:38,633
Perhaps, as many religious
traditions prophesize,
1473
01:23:38,733 --> 01:23:41,805
there will come a day
when we are reunited
1474
01:23:41,939 --> 01:23:44,444
with our creators and will learn
1475
01:23:44,545 --> 01:23:48,384
the full truth
about our otherworldly origins.
1476
