clear difference between expeculations...

163
00:09:49,884 --> 00:09:50,799
... and facts.

164
00:09:52,780 --> 00:09:56,504
<i>But as cotroversial, as many</i>
<i>of Von Däniken theories are...</i>

165
00:09:56,746 --> 00:09:59,392
<i>... believers point,</i>
<i>to tangible evidence.</i>

166
00:10:00,107 --> 00:10:04,376
<i>How for example, could a</i>
<i>centuries-old map, chart a land-mass,</i>

167
00:10:04,377 --> 00:10:06,722
<i>which has only</i>
<i>recently been discovered?</i>

168
00:10:06,930 --> 00:10:08,753
<i>With it indicate that the map</i>

169
00:10:08,961 --> 00:10:11,084
<i>was made in a time</i>

170
00:10:11,349 --> 00:10:14,410
when Antartica was ice free.

171
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,078
which would be...

172
00:10:16,146 --> 00:10:18,317
many millions of years ago.

173
00:10:18,453 --> 00:10:21,118
<i>And how could a primitive civilization,</i>

174
00:10:21,268 --> 00:10:23,022
<i>know how to harness electricity?</i>

175
00:10:23,336 --> 00:10:25,338
<i>or even build a computer?</i>

176
00:10:25,503 --> 00:10:28,434
<i>this was * out to finding</i>
<i>a jet airplane...</i>

177
00:10:28,435 --> 00:10:29,651
<i>... in the tomb of King Tut.</i>

178
00:10:30,188 --> 00:10:33,363
<i>And just who, with this</i>
<i>mysterious designs,</i>

179
00:10:33,499 --> 00:10:37,181
<i>only visible from high</i>
<i>altitude, intended for?</i>

180
00:10:37,391 --> 00:10:40,517
Designs are made
for somebody who flies,

181
00:10:40,574 --> 00:10:42,111
Theres no way out of this.

182
00:10:44,535 --> 00:10:46,488
<i>Could Von Däniken's theory,</i>

183
00:10:46,846 --> 00:10:49,705
<i>that ancient gods were</i>
<i>really alien visitors,</i>

184
00:10:49,741 --> 00:10:52,692
<i>contain any serious scientific merit?</i>

185
00:10:53,185 --> 00:10:56,664
<i>The answer involves a search</i>
<i>around the world.</i>

186
00:10:57,015 --> 00:10:59,791
<i>and even, right before our eyes.</i>

187
00:11:07,256 --> 00:11:09,647
<i>If alien beings from other planets,</i>

188
00:11:09,698 --> 00:11:12,340
<i>have visited the Earth</i>
<i>thousands of years ago.</i>

189
00:11:12,933 --> 00:11:16,352
<i>how our ancient ancestors have</i>
<i>tried to communicate with them?</i>

190
00:11:19,528 --> 00:11:23,218
<i>And wouldnt there be some physical</i>
<i>evidence of the time they spent here?</i>

191
00:11:25,402 --> 00:11:28,620
<i>One answer may lie</i>
<i>in the NAZCA desert of Peru.</i>

192
00:11:29,035 --> 00:11:31,587
<i>There, at top an area plateau</i>

193
00:11:31,588 --> 00:11:33,898
<i>thats stretches for nearly 50 miles.</i>

194
00:11:34,113 --> 00:11:38,089
<i>Countless geometric patterns and</i>
<i>figures decorates the landscape.</i>

195
00:11:45,097 --> 00:11:48,067
<i>You fly over this desert</i>
and you see some lines.

196
00:11:48,365 --> 00:11:54,050
The lines look like air stripes,
they start abrut and end abruptly.

197
00:11:59,263 --> 00:12:02,312
<i>The longest of it,</i>
<i>it's 33 kilometers,</i>

198
00:12:02,429 --> 00:12:05,650
<i>right away, not one curve,</i>
<i>just incredible.</i>

199
00:12:05,685 --> 00:12:08,425
<i>and end, in one of this</i>
<i>so called air stripes.</i>

200
00:12:12,172 --> 00:12:15,475
<i>In the mixture of large</i>
<i>lines and small lines</i>

201
00:12:15,597 --> 00:12:17,565
<i>you see gigantic figures</i>
<i>in the ground.</i>

202
00:12:17,707 --> 00:12:18,787
<i>Figures of  fishes,</i>...

203
00:12:19,586 --> 00:12:20,966
<i>... monkeys,</i>...

204
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:22,710
<i>... spiders,</i>...

205
00:12:24,072 --> 00:12:24,772
<i>... apes.</i>

206
00:12:25,688 --> 00:12:27,444
<i>But at such over dimensional size,</i>

207
00:12:27,537 --> 00:12:30,115
that you can see them
only from the air.

208
00:12:33,190 --> 00:12:35,715
<i>People built them,</i>
<i>or somebody built them,</i>

209
00:12:36,037 --> 00:12:38,625
<i>hundreds and hundreds of years ago.</i>

210
00:12:38,690 --> 00:12:41,408
<i>perhaps maybe even</i>
<i>thousands of years ago.</i>

211
00:12:41,524 --> 00:12:44,377
That could be science of
"Hello up there!",

212
00:12:44,542 --> 00:12:47,195
"Here we are!".
It's something.

213
00:12:50,455 --> 00:12:53,109
<i>Various disputed exponention suggest.</i>

214
00:12:53,238 --> 00:12:56,320
<i>that the lines could it been used</i>
<i>for irrigation diggest,</i>

215
00:12:56,584 --> 00:12:58,772
<i>giant astronomical calendars,</i>

216
00:12:58,801 --> 00:13:02,169
<i>or pathways, perhaps used</i>
<i>for religious workship.</i>

217
00:13:02,867 --> 00:13:06,006
<i>Looking at NAZCA</i>
from the air,

218
00:13:06,230 --> 00:13:08,093
it looks like...

219
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,052
... an airport,

220
00:13:09,566 --> 00:13:10,839
It really does!

221
00:13:11,182 --> 00:13:14,136
<i>Because you have</i>
<i>all this... bands,</i>

222
00:13:14,279 --> 00:13:17,804
<i>wide bands, that look like</i>
<i>air stripes that...</i>

223
00:13:17,862 --> 00:13:19,622
<i>... lay on top of each other,</i>

224
00:13:19,623 --> 00:13:23,487
<i>but you also have this</i>
<i>gigantic long strip lines,</i>

225
00:13:23,558 --> 00:13:25,726
<i>that go for miles and miles,</i>

226
00:13:25,755 --> 00:13:27,753
<i>over valleys,</i>
<i>over mountains.</i>

227
00:13:28,765 --> 00:13:32,997
So once again you... you got this idea
like: "Ok, people are creating this...

228
00:13:33,233 --> 00:13:34,674
but, What is the reason?

229
00:13:35,089 --> 00:13:36,735
Is it to show these...

230
00:13:36,821 --> 00:13:41,055
... gods and aerial vehicles land here?

231
00:13:41,105 --> 00:13:42,075
<i>kind of that thing,</i>

232
00:13:42,125 --> 00:13:46,432
because we just dont have
a good idea of: Why...

233
00:13:46,611 --> 00:13:48,514
people would do this?

234
00:13:48,893 --> 00:13:52,824
And it really does seem at
to trying to signal people...

235
00:13:53,331 --> 00:13:57,565
<i>... who are in the air, in space</i>
<i>or flying around our planet.</i>

236
00:14:01,153 --> 00:14:02,704
<i>During World War II,</i>

237
00:14:02,976 --> 00:14:07,381
<i>American troops created air bases</i>
<i>on remote Pacific islands.</i>

238
00:14:09,213 --> 00:14:12,181
<i>To natives who had never</i>
<i>witness advanced technology,</i>

239
00:14:12,610 --> 00:14:15,518
<i>the sight of giant metal birds</i>
<i>touching down,</i>

240
00:14:15,596 --> 00:14:17,985
<i>looked to them as</i>
<i>if the gods themselves</i>

241
00:14:17,986 --> 00:14:20,925
<i>has turned the earth</i>
<i>into a planetary pitstop.</i>

242
00:14:22,272 --> 00:14:26,323
<i>They will see this big planes land</i>
<i>and it was all technology that...</i>

243
00:14:26,563 --> 00:14:28,318
...that...just out of the sky.

244
00:14:28,539 --> 00:14:30,591
<i>They didn't know</i>
<i>how these things work,</i>

245
00:14:30,748 --> 00:14:32,208
<i>but they could see them land.</i>

246
00:14:32,329 --> 00:14:33,865
<i>And what they like about it?</i>

247
00:14:34,472 --> 00:14:37,775
<i>Was, they were getting free stuff,</i>
they were getting cargo.

248
00:14:39,771 --> 00:14:41,507
<i>Suddenly when the war was over,</i>

249
00:14:41,619 --> 00:14:44,405
<i>all this air stripes were</i>
<i>abandon and everyone left.</i>

250
00:14:44,555 --> 00:14:48,130
<i>And the islanders scratched their heads</i>
<i>and they all said to themselves</i>:

251
00:14:48,230 --> 00:14:52,287
<i>"Wow, wasn't it great when all</i>
<i>these planes came out the sky and</i>

252
00:14:52,371 --> 00:14:54,688
gave us free cancer corn,
beef and stuff?

253
00:14:54,945 --> 00:14:56,346
We really like that cargo.

254
00:14:58,521 --> 00:15:01,575
<i>Entire religions...</i>
<i>sprung out from this.</i>

255
00:15:01,596 --> 00:15:06,097
<i>were priests actually said: "Yes, you</i>
<i>know, those were our dead ancestors"</i>

256
00:15:06,323 --> 00:15:09,330
<i>sending us cargo,</i>
<i>so what they did them...</i>

257
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:12,148
<i>was they begin to going</i>
<i>to the old airstripes,</i>

258
00:15:12,233 --> 00:15:15,227
<i>and then will build</i>
<i>mock wooden airplanes,</i>

259
00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:18,033
<i>to try and get those</i>
<i>planes to come back...</i>

260
00:15:18,330 --> 00:15:21,842
<i>... from the sky and delivering</i>
<i>the cancer corn, beef to them again.</i>

261
00:15:22,593 --> 00:15:27,166
<i>As you can see how an analogy</i>
<i>with modern cargo calls.</i>

262
00:15:27,405 --> 00:15:30,648
<i>plays exactly into the</i>
<i>ancient astronaut scenario.</i>

263
00:15:30,806 --> 00:15:33,698
<i>for something like this could</i>
<i>easily happened in the past,</i>

264
00:15:33,838 --> 00:15:37,635
<i>and entired religions built</i>
<i>around the ancient astronaut.</i>

265
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,135
<i>But gigantic geroglyphs</i>

266
00:15:45,314 --> 00:15:48,198
<i>aren't the only mystery</i>
<i>surrounding NAZCA.</i>

267
00:15:50,714 --> 00:15:52,853
<i>I was flying over NAZCA for days,</i>

268
00:15:52,996 --> 00:15:55,155
<i>hanging out the aircraft</i>
<i>with the camera.</i>

269
00:15:55,398 --> 00:15:56,943
at shooting and shoting
and shoting,

270
00:15:57,150 --> 00:16:00,662
I have more or less about 4000
pictures of NAZCA, this is really...

271
00:16:00,884 --> 00:16:01,778
... fascinating.

272
00:16:01,971 --> 00:16:05,531
You see, this is one of the picture
which proof that this mountain

273
00:16:05,532 --> 00:16:07,821
<i>was made flat artificially.</i>

274
00:16:07,978 --> 00:16:10,135
because you compare it
with the mountains out there,

275
00:16:10,234 --> 00:16:12,948
there the mountains
* from both side.

276
00:16:13,198 --> 00:16:16,024
♪ flat, this is absolutely
incredible. This is...

277
00:16:16,867 --> 00:16:20,021
... one of the most craziest pictures
I made about NAZCA.

278
00:16:21,129 --> 00:16:23,531
<i>The crazy thing is... the ruble,</i>

279
00:16:23,532 --> 00:16:26,341
<i>the remains, of that summit</i>

280
00:16:26,342 --> 00:16:28,195
<i>or a mountain top... gone!</i>

281
00:16:28,623 --> 00:16:31,692
<i>It's nowhere, it not in</i>
<i>the valley down below.</i>

282
00:16:31,792 --> 00:16:35,346
I<i>t's nowhere in the region,</i>
What happend to it?

283
00:16:35,625 --> 00:16:41,361
Because all the mountains around it,
have their summits, it's there!

284
00:16:41,811 --> 00:16:46,910
<i>And then you have other mountains</i>
<i>but are as flat as a table,</i>

285
00:16:47,035 --> 00:16:51,114
<i>with bands on top that</i>
<i>look like runaways.</i>

286
00:16:52,627 --> 00:16:53,849
<i>Another question:</i>

287
00:16:54,292 --> 00:16:56,331
<i>Why would visiting ETs...</i>

288
00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:59,313
<i>be drawn to the bone</i>
<i>dry desert of Peru</i>?

289
00:17:00,773 --> 00:17:05,156
<i>Let's just say hypothetically,</i>
<i>that spaceship arrives,</i>

290
00:17:05,285 --> 00:17:06,584
<i>here on Planet Earth,</i>

291
00:17:06,748 --> 00:17:11,529
<i>and you want to quickly find out</i>
<i>what this planet consist of...</i>

292
00:17:12,144 --> 00:17:17,585
<i>NAZCA will be the perfect place</i>
<i>to go and visit for some sampling</i>

293
00:17:17,586 --> 00:17:19,266
<i>and for some experimentation.</i>

294
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:25,524
<i>because NAZCA's still today is one of</i>
<i>the most abandoned areas in the world</i>

295
00:17:25,638 --> 00:17:27,791
<i>regarding raw materials.</i>

296
00:17:28,070 --> 00:17:29,554
<i>There you find everything,</i>

297
00:17:29,555 --> 00:17:30,645
<i>You find gold,</i>

298
00:17:30,737 --> 00:17:33,591
<i>you find... uranium...</i>

299
00:17:33,884 --> 00:17:38,633
<i>What have you</i> is basically
the cliffnotes of planet Earth.

300
00:17:38,740 --> 00:17:42,984
You go to NAZCA <i>and you</i>
<i>immediatly know everything about</i>

301
00:17:42,993 --> 00:17:44,876
<i>what our planet consist of,</i>

302
00:17:45,126 --> 00:17:47,636
<i>because all the raw materials,</i>

303
00:17:47,865 --> 00:17:51,203
<i>converge there at high volumes.</i>

304
00:17:59,824 --> 00:18:01,972
<i>Why do we have to believe</i>
<i>that this is simple cannot be</i>

305
00:18:01,973 --> 00:18:04,064
<i>an expression of</i>
<i>an artistic impulse, you know</i>?

306
00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:06,452
<i>Is it really that outlandish</i>
<i>to believe that...</i>

307
00:18:06,453 --> 00:18:07,897
<i>you know, that... that...</i>

308
00:18:07,898 --> 00:18:13,147
<i>these made ups in Peru, made it one</i>
<i>who created some large scale work of art?.</i>

309
00:18:13,233 --> 00:18:17,717
<i>And to say that such a large scale</i>
<i>work of art couldn't be created merely...</i>

310
00:18:17,867 --> 00:18:19,650
<i>for the posibility of</i>
<i>having created it,</i>

311
00:18:19,651 --> 00:18:23,337
<i>rather than the NAZCA lines</i>
<i>are so inhumanly vast,</i>

312
00:18:23,409 --> 00:18:27,122
<i>That can only be admired by people</i>
<i>who are capable of flight.</i>

313
00:18:27,966 --> 00:18:30,491
<i>Well you know you can say the same thing</i>
<i>about the Great Wall of China.</i>

314
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,443
<i>and yet the Great Wall</i>
<i>of China has a purpose</i>

315
00:18:33,444 --> 00:18:35,840
<i>that is... that is political,</i>
<i>that is martial.</i>

316
00:18:37,478 --> 00:18:41,397
<i>Somebody maybe walk the NAZCA lines</i>
<i>as a spiritual labyrinth</i>

317
00:18:41,398 --> 00:18:43,843
<i>in the shape of a spiritual</i>
<i>totemic object</i>

318
00:18:44,050 --> 00:18:47,519
<i>and where on the one way supose</i>
<i>to get a kind of epiphany from that.</i>

319
00:18:49,007 --> 00:18:51,667
<i>The fact that we do not understand</i>
<i>the purpose of a thing...</i>

320
00:18:51,668 --> 00:18:54,058
<i>opens into tremendous speculations.</i>

321
00:19:00,850 --> 00:19:04,490
<i>NAZCA and the NAZCA figures</i> make no sign

322
00:19:04,776 --> 00:19:06,310
seen from the earth.

323
00:19:07,002 --> 00:19:09,253
<i>You have to flight over it.</i>

324
00:19:09,661 --> 00:19:12,900
<i>The signs are made for</i>
<i>somebody who flight.</i>

325
00:19:12,901 --> 00:19:14,612
Theres is no way out of this.

326
00:19:14,613 --> 00:19:17,928
I hope archeology sooner or later
will come to a similar conclusion.

327
00:19:24,185 --> 00:19:28,282
<i>But if visitors from other</i>
<i>planets were thought to be Gods,</i>

328
00:19:28,340 --> 00:19:30,838
<i>Wouldn't there be written</i>
<i>accounts of them?</i>

329
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:34,296
<i>Perhaps the answer can be found,</i>
<i>right in front of us.</i>

330
00:19:34,404 --> 00:19:36,861
<i>In one of the most shockin places...</i>

331
00:19:36,904 --> 00:19:38,351
<i>... of all.</i>

332
00:19:44,637 --> 00:19:50,101
<i>Ironically, Erik Von Däniken's firm believe</i>
<i>that Earth has been visited in the past</i>

333
00:19:50,102 --> 00:19:51,959
<i>by beings from other planets,</i>

334
00:19:52,095 --> 00:19:55,778
<i>It's entirly consistent with</i>
<i>his belief in God and the Bible.</i>

335
00:19:57,473 --> 00:20:00,377
<i>It is merely a question</i>
<i>of interpretation.</i>

336
00:20:02,501 --> 00:20:07,243
We must understand, I was a very
very deep believer in God,

337
00:20:07,693 --> 00:20:11,771
<i>By the way I'm still a believer in God.</i>
<i>I never lost my God.</i>

338
00:20:12,443 --> 00:20:17,257
<i>But for a young man,</i>
<i>my God had to be almighty,</i>

339
00:20:17,493 --> 00:20:20,678
<i>My God will never need a vehicle</i>
<i>in which to move around,</i>

340
00:20:20,679 --> 00:20:24,223
a vehicle to go from point A to point B.

341
00:20:26,232 --> 00:20:29,292
<i>In where Christians refer to</i>
<i>as the Old Testament,</i>

342
00:20:29,686 --> 00:20:34,349
<i>There are in fact several accounts</i>
<i>of God and his angels visiting the Earth.</i>

343
00:20:36,659 --> 00:20:40,705
<i>Sometimes these visitatons are</i>
<i>accompanied by tremendous noise,</i>

344
00:20:40,841 --> 00:20:42,565
<i>and clouds of * smoke.</i>

345
00:20:47,307 --> 00:20:49,238
<i>In the book of Ezekiel for example,</i>

346
00:20:49,838 --> 00:20:54,101
<i>the profet claims that he witness</i>
<i>a visitation by heavenly beings.</i>

347
00:20:54,416 --> 00:20:58,113
<i>coming down from the skies,</i>
<i>aboard of a fantastic flying machine.</i>

348
00:20:59,715 --> 00:21:01,846
<i>As far as Von Däniken is concerned,</i>

349
00:21:02,375 --> 00:21:05,815
<i>It's a highly detail description,</i>
<i>of an alien sighting.</i>

350
00:21:06,938 --> 00:21:11,408
<i>This is incredible, Ezekiel</i>
<i>not only describes what he see,</i>

351
00:21:11,683 --> 00:21:13,796
<i>He also describes what he hears.</i>

352
00:21:15,112 --> 00:21:19,181
<i>He describes the whole thing</i>
<i>as been splendid as in God.</i>

353
00:21:19,889 --> 00:21:24,524
<i>The prophet also details several</i>
<i>four-face winged creatures,</i>

354
00:21:24,731 --> 00:21:26,746
<i>appeared in a likeness of man,</i>

355
00:21:27,070 --> 00:21:30,002
<i>and they travel upon</i>
<i>a glimming wheel device.</i>

356
00:21:30,602 --> 00:21:34,414
<i>Insight the splendors of God,</i>
<i>theres was something like a throne.</i>

357
00:21:34,481 --> 00:21:36,884
and on this throne was a being sitting

358
00:21:36,984 --> 00:21:41,053
<i>looking like a human</i>
<i>in glitterin' clothes.</i>

359
00:21:41,225 --> 00:21:46,659
<i>And beneath it, he saw some vehicles,</i>
<i>he saw some wings,</i>

360
00:21:46,745 --> 00:21:48,757
<i>He describes the noise of the wings,</i>

361
00:21:48,758 --> 00:21:52,115
<i>He describes the noise of the wings</i>
<i>like a thundering of a waterfall,</i>

362
00:21:57,307 --> 00:21:59,724
<i>Ezekiel saw a wheel within a wheel</i>

363
00:22:00,053 --> 00:22:04,080
<i>this sounds more high-tech</i>
<i>than supernatural,... and...</i>

364
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:08,685
<i>... we can't supose that</i>
<i>people 3000 years ago,</i>

365
00:22:08,942 --> 00:22:13,055
<i>would understand the difference</i>
<i>between supernatural and high-tech.</i>

366
00:22:14,127 --> 00:22:17,603
<i>But what if there is more</i>
<i>to Ezekiel's heavenly visions,</i>

367
00:22:17,768 --> 00:22:20,900
<i>than the imaginated tip</i>
<i>insights of a religious man?</i>

368
00:22:21,752 --> 00:22:24,533
<i>What if there was a scientific</i>
<i>foundation for them?</i>

369
00:22:26,284 --> 00:22:31,439
Once I had the opportunity of meeting,
and spending time and traveling with...

370
00:22:31,683 --> 00:22:34,756
a gentleman by the name
of Joseph Blumrich.

371
00:22:35,264 --> 00:22:38,248
He was a senior chief
<i>engineer at NASA,</i>

372
00:22:38,655 --> 00:22:42,263
<i>First involved in the</i>
<i>Mariner expedition to Mars.</i>

373
00:22:42,325 --> 00:22:47,409
<i>He was also in charge of the landing</i>
<i>gear for the Mariner spaceship.</i>

374
00:22:47,552 --> 00:22:49,240
<i>And he told me himself,</i>

375
00:22:49,583 --> 00:22:54,318
<i>the idea of the design used</i>
<i>for the Mariner spaceship,</i>

376
00:22:54,804 --> 00:22:57,099
<i>that landed on Mars, came to him...</i>

377
00:22:57,264 --> 00:23:00,538
<i>from the reading of the</i>
<i>biblical text in which</i>

378
00:23:00,539 --> 00:23:03,098
<i>they talk about wheels within wheels,</i>

379
00:23:03,199 --> 00:23:07,702
<i>So here you have another example of</i>
<i>the person of curiosity, who conceives...</i>

380
00:23:08,024 --> 00:23:09,556
<i>... of this ideas.</i>

381
00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:16,767
<i>Another biblical figure who continues</i>
<i>to fascinating Von Däniken...</i>

382
00:23:17,108 --> 00:23:18,838
<i>... is the character of Enoch.</i>

383
00:23:19,606 --> 00:23:21,752
<i>Enoch is not part of the Bible,</i>

384
00:23:22,203 --> 00:23:26,192
<i>In the Bible, in the Old Testament you</i>
<i>find maybe just one phrase about Enoch.</i>

385
00:23:26,193 --> 00:23:27,080
<i>Thats all.</i>

386
00:23:27,166 --> 00:23:29,865
<i>But among the apocryphy texts,</i>

387
00:23:30,215 --> 00:23:33,273
<i>there are volumes and volumes</i>
<i>if you know them.</i>

388
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,735
<i>You find the Book of Enoch.</i>

389
00:23:35,736 --> 00:23:38,507
Enoch is the first person in antiquiety,

390
00:23:38,729 --> 00:23:43,035
Who writes in the 1st person:
"I did, I hear, I was there".

391
00:23:43,801 --> 00:23:48,049
<i>In one of the ancient texts,</i>
<i>this grand-grandfather of Noah,</i>

392
00:23:48,306 --> 00:23:52,098
<i>He said of being taken away</i>
<i>by God for 300 years.</i>

393
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:55,445
He was taken up to the sky,

394
00:23:55,780 --> 00:23:58,056
up there he meets the highest,

395
00:23:58,057 --> 00:24:01,127
the so called highest,
in religion they called "God"

396
00:24:01,365 --> 00:24:06,471
<i>He meets the highest, and the</i>
<i>highest feast to his servants,</i>

397
00:24:06,821 --> 00:24:09,769
<i>"You teach this young</i>
<i>man in our language,</i>

398
00:24:09,926 --> 00:24:13,337
<i>and then you teaching writing,</i>
<i>so he writes books",</i>

399
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,552
<i>Of course,...</i>

400
00:24:14,553 --> 00:24:17,835
<i>... he knows all these</i>
<i>foreigners by name,</i>

401
00:24:17,999 --> 00:24:19,651
<i>he quotes them by name.</i>

402
00:24:19,817 --> 00:24:21,288
<i>He knows their profession,</i>

403
00:24:21,496 --> 00:24:24,736
<i>he knows wich of these extraterrestrials,</i>
<i>were the astronomers.</i>

404
00:24:24,930 --> 00:24:27,200
<i>So, Enoch is the only and first person,</i>

405
00:24:27,297 --> 00:24:28,415
<i>thousand of years ago,</i>

406
00:24:28,658 --> 00:24:31,265
<i>who give some of the names</i>
<i>of the extraterrestrials,</i>

407
00:24:31,407 --> 00:24:34,547
<i>and give some of their professions.</i>
<i>How is this possible?</i>

408
00:24:34,776 --> 00:24:38,116
We have an eyewitness,
and nobody speaks about it.

409
00:24:38,309 --> 00:24:40,176
So, I really was confused.

410
00:24:42,672 --> 00:24:44,207
<i>That... that would be the argument,</i>

411
00:24:44,357 --> 00:24:46,398
<i>that... that the followers</i>
<i>of Von Däniken would say.</i>

412
00:24:46,691 --> 00:24:50,259
Why is so *  for aliens to come when
is completly acceptable for God...

413
00:24:50,545 --> 00:24:52,447
... to intervene in human history.

414
00:24:53,749 --> 00:24:55,007
<i>The difference is...</i>

415
00:24:55,315 --> 00:24:58,426
<i>Von Däniken's arguing</i>
<i>that aliens came and gave...</i>

416
00:24:58,512 --> 00:25:01,415
<i>technologies to people</i>
<i>to advance those cultures.</i>

417
00:25:02,245 --> 00:25:05,892
<i>So basically they gave objects, they</i>
<i>gave new ideas and new technologies,</i>

418
00:25:05,978 --> 00:25:08,130
<i>and then those cultures</i>
<i>advanced because of them.</i>

419
00:25:08,871 --> 00:25:13,409
<i>Or is... at least in the Bible.</i>
<i>It's not like God gave...</i>

420
00:25:13,495 --> 00:25:17,714
a human kind, a magic watch,
you know, or a new missile.

421
00:25:17,807 --> 00:25:20,100
that they can use
to defeat their enemies.

422
00:25:20,489 --> 00:25:23,470
<i>Hum... God gives instructions,</i>
<i>at least in Bible records.</i>

423
00:25:23,518 --> 00:25:28,457
<i>God gives instructions on how to live,</i>
<i>but not on how to build new devices</i>

424
00:25:28,564 --> 00:25:31,747
<i>that further or advance</i>
<i>of an specific culture.</i>

425
00:25:33,144 --> 00:25:36,162
<i>Can we like an Ezekiel's</i>
<i>Chariot to a UFO?</i>

426
00:25:37,179 --> 00:25:39,759
The ancients used myth,

427
00:25:40,096 --> 00:25:45,416
and metaphore and images to
describe their experience of God.

428
00:25:45,659 --> 00:25:48,447
<i>I think what we don't</i>
<i>wanna fault to is...</i>

429
00:25:48,511 --> 00:25:50,887
a type of fundamental literalism.

430
00:25:50,926 --> 00:25:54,892
<i>The stories of the Old Testament</i>
<i>emerge out of the people of that time.</i>

431
00:25:54,941 --> 00:25:59,490
<i>Out of there on context to make</i>
<i>sense of their experience of God.</i>

432
00:25:59,591 --> 00:26:02,454
<i>We can gain insight by</i>
<i>reading the Old Testament,</i>

433
00:26:02,525 --> 00:26:04,897
and reading about Ezekiel's Chariot.

434
00:26:05,283 --> 00:26:09,496
<i>But it's not to draw strict acknowledge</i>
<i>between Ezekiel's Chariot and a UFO.</i>

435
00:26:14,731 --> 00:26:17,819
<i>When all of these stories</i>
<i>were written down,</i>

436
00:26:18,012 --> 00:26:21,524
Writing was a fairly new invention.

437
00:26:22,096 --> 00:26:24,398
<i>A very first thing they wrote down,</i>

438
00:26:24,498 --> 00:26:28,003
<i>is something that actually</i>
<i>happend to them,</i>

439
00:26:28,118 --> 00:26:32,709
<i>It was so important, so compelled,</i>
<i>so significant to them...</i>

440
00:26:32,824 --> 00:26:35,155
<i>that they have to put it in writing.</i>

441
00:26:35,698 --> 00:26:39,367
<i>Why can't modern society come to grips,</i>

442
00:26:39,684 --> 00:26:41,701
<i>that these stories...</i>

443
00:26:41,886 --> 00:26:44,690
<i>... might be true, afterall?</i>

444
00:26:47,165 --> 00:26:48,728
<i>Von Däniken's research...</i>

445
00:26:48,878 --> 00:26:52,714
<i>turn that evidence of other</i>
<i>arguibly extraterrestrial phenomena,</i>

446
00:26:53,094 --> 00:26:54,764
<i>... and not only in the Bible.</i>

447
00:26:55,511 --> 00:26:58,893
<i>Almost every religion has</i>
<i>similar stories about deities.</i>

448
00:26:58,986 --> 00:27:01,539
<i>with spectacular powers and abilities,</i>

449
00:27:01,732 --> 00:27:05,308
<i>who come to Earth and directly</i>
<i>influenced the lives of men.</i>

450
00:27:06,409 --> 00:27:08,429
Suddenly one day I said
to myself not *

451
00:27:09,241 --> 00:27:12,293
This is similar the stories
in so many all religions,

452
00:27:12,595 --> 00:27:14,683
Are they talking about
extraterrestrials?

453
00:27:15,098 --> 00:27:18,824
<i>These so-called gods are here,</i>
<i>they give orders,</i>

454
00:27:18,874 --> 00:27:23,214
<i>they force the humans to certain things</i>
<i>and one day they dissapear.</i>

455
00:27:23,414 --> 00:27:26,789
<i>But they always dissapear</i>
<i>with the promise to return...</i>

456
00:27:26,875 --> 00:27:28,863
<i>... in a far away future.</i>

457
00:27:29,971 --> 00:27:34,612
<i>If, as I believe, people</i>
<i>on ancient civilizations,</i>

458
00:27:34,613 --> 00:27:36,772
<i>were familiar with space travel...</i>

459
00:27:37,573 --> 00:27:41,004
... people in ancient civilizations
with comunication

460
00:27:41,005 --> 00:27:43,608
with human-like beings
from other planets,

461
00:27:43,987 --> 00:27:46,945
Then, I think we should
expect to find evidence,

462
00:27:46,946 --> 00:27:51,303
for this in their literatures,
which we do find.

463
00:27:52,075 --> 00:27:54,978
<i>Throughout the Indian</i>
<i>Sanskrit epics of India,</i>

464
00:27:55,121 --> 00:28:00,192
<i>there are numerous descriptions</i>
<i>of Vimanas or mythical flying machines.</i>

465
00:28:00,516 --> 00:28:04,761
<i>One of these accounts even</i>
<i>dates back over 5000 years.</i>

466
00:28:04,919 --> 00:28:09,374
<i>In the Bhagavata Purana, which is</i>
<i>an ancient Sanskrit history,</i>

467
00:28:09,596 --> 00:28:12,191
<i>theres a description of a spacecraft,</i>

468
00:28:12,606 --> 00:28:16,404
<i>that was piloted by</i>
<i>a King named Shol'va.</i>

469
00:28:16,861 --> 00:28:19,135
<i>It's described that was made of metal,</i>

470
00:28:19,728 --> 00:28:24,771
<i>It was described that in sometimes</i>
<i>appeared to be in two places at once,</i>

471
00:28:25,014 --> 00:28:29,262
<i>it was described this having a motion</i>
<i>similar to the one of a butterfly,</i>

472
00:28:29,291 --> 00:28:31,744
and these descriptions are consistent,

473
00:28:31,745 --> 00:28:35,834
with what people who observe
UFOs today, report.

474
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,278
<i>In other Sanskrit texts,</i>

475
00:28:39,514 --> 00:28:43,643
<i>such as the Mahabharata,</i>
<i>the Rigveda and the Ramayana,</i>

476
00:28:43,695 --> 00:28:48,829
<i>there can be found descriptions of Vimana</i>
<i>measurement as wide as 100 ft.</i>

477
00:28:49,387 --> 00:28:52,962
<i>and often equipped with the</i>
<i>capabilities of modern aircraft.</i>

478
00:28:55,237 --> 00:28:57,897
<i>One Vimana produce a shaft of light,</i>

479
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,815
<i>which when focused on a target,</i>
<i>consumed with it's power.</i>

480
00:29:02,902 --> 00:29:07,664
It's like a Buck Rogers
or Flash Gordon movie from the 30's.

481
00:29:08,523 --> 00:29:11,233
<i>They read like the wild of</i>
<i>the science fiction,</i>

482
00:29:11,605 --> 00:29:15,359
<i>People are flying around</i>
<i>in airships called Vimanas.</i>

483
00:29:15,702 --> 00:29:21,394
<i>Blasting each other and having</i>
<i>aerial fights, destoying entire cities.</i>

484
00:29:22,638 --> 00:29:24,041
And the craziest thing is...

485
00:29:24,127 --> 00:29:30,540
... that all those stories are totally
accepted in the modern society of India.

486
00:29:34,174 --> 00:29:39,661
<i>I don't think we can say that these</i>
<i>descriptions are simple imagination,</i>

487
00:29:39,767 --> 00:29:42,861
<i>because even though</i> they were
written thousands of years ago,

488
00:29:42,862 --> 00:29:45,347
they match with many
people today report,

489
00:29:45,784 --> 00:29:49,245
in terms of observing
the actions of UFOs.

490
00:29:49,546 --> 00:29:52,771
Where just mythological tales,
are there making up fantasy,

491
00:29:53,758 --> 00:29:55,674
<i>or these physically really advanced,</i>

492
00:29:55,675 --> 00:29:57,992
<i>and they try to describe them</i>
<i>as the best as they could.</i>

493
00:29:58,113 --> 00:29:59,572
<i>It seems to be more sense to me.</i>

494
00:30:01,732 --> 00:30:04,629
<i>I can tell you this,</i>
<i>I would be out of the job in India,</i>

495
00:30:04,743 --> 00:30:08,304
because there if I were to talk
about ancient aliens and ancient gods,

496
00:30:09,162 --> 00:30:11,872
<i>they would say:</i>
<i>Ok, so what else is new?</i>

497
00:30:17,872 --> 00:30:21,211
<i>When backing at their claims</i>
<i>of extraterrestrial visitation,</i>

498
00:30:21,747 --> 00:30:25,816
<i>ancient aliens theorists,</i>
<i>drop on two kinds of examples:</i>

499
00:30:26,717 --> 00:30:31,080
<i>Theres the evidence you can read,</i>
<i>such at that found in ancient texts,</i>

500
00:30:31,866 --> 00:30:34,490
<i>and then theres the evidence</i>
<i>that you can actually see.</i>

501
00:30:36,907 --> 00:30:39,753
<i>Among the earliest types</i>
<i>of physical specimens,</i>

502
00:30:39,825 --> 00:30:45,332
<i>numerous cave and rock drawings, and</i>
<i>stone sculptures found all over the globe.</i>

503
00:30:45,482 --> 00:30:47,587
You know, a picture
is worth a thousand words.

504
00:30:47,627 --> 00:30:48,722
Absolutely.

505
00:30:48,937 --> 00:30:52,826
When you see pictures depicted
for example <i>on a cave in Italy,</i>

506
00:30:52,862 --> 00:30:55,702
<i>that shows two astronauts</i>
<i>with helmets on,</i>

507
00:30:55,844 --> 00:30:57,249
Oh, what the heck could it be?

508
00:30:57,690 --> 00:30:58,992
What could it be?

509
00:30:59,410 --> 00:31:02,428
<i>Each of these antique</i>
<i>illustrations or statues,</i>

510
00:31:02,607 --> 00:31:06,333
<i>depict figures dressed in</i>
<i>strange attire from the times,</i>

511
00:31:06,505 --> 00:31:09,072
<i>and spotting an inusual headgear.</i>

512
00:31:09,501 --> 00:31:13,084
<i>But could they really be</i>
<i>representations of alien astronauts,</i>

513
00:31:13,263 --> 00:31:18,792
<i>Visitors from other worlds who touch down</i>
<i>upon the Earth thousands of years ago.</i>

514
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,604
All over the world we have statues,
and sculptures and paintings

515
00:31:24,605 --> 00:31:28,710
and depictions of <i>these</i>
<i>extraterrestrial beings.</i>

516
00:31:29,004 --> 00:31:32,025
<i>Even in the United States,</i>
<i>at Sego Canyon, Utah,</i>

517
00:31:32,211 --> 00:31:33,839
<i>we have pictoglyphs,</i>

518
00:31:33,982 --> 00:31:37,071
<i>of very weird looking creatures,</i>

519
00:31:37,072 --> 00:31:40,648
<i>that have antennas on</i>
<i>their heads, helmets...</i>

520
00:31:40,712 --> 00:31:44,440
And half around the world, in
Kimberley,  Australia, for example,

521
00:31:44,441 --> 00:31:49,100
<i>we have the exact same depictions</i>
<i>of these helmeted beings,</i>

522
00:31:49,207 --> 00:31:51,095
<i>with a halo around their heads,</i>

523
00:31:51,138 --> 00:31:52,997
and the question I have is:

524
00:31:52,998 --> 00:31:56,402
What our ancestors see,
that compelled them...

525
00:31:56,902 --> 00:31:59,233
<i>to put this on that cave walls?</i>

526
00:32:00,592 --> 00:32:03,889
<i>On yet another continent,</i>
<i>in Guatemala City,</i>

527
00:32:04,111 --> 00:32:09,481
<i>we have a sculpture that looks eerie</i>
<i>reminescent of a modern day astronaut.</i>

528
00:32:09,768 --> 00:32:11,884
<i>I mean, that thing is wearing a helmet,</i>

529
00:32:12,156 --> 00:32:14,115
<i>there some tubes of mouth-piece,</i>

530
00:32:14,215 --> 00:32:18,353
<i>and on his chest are</i>
<i>some type of controls,</i>

531
00:32:18,363 --> 00:32:20,105
or rebreathing apparatus.

532
00:32:20,162 --> 00:32:23,198
<i>How is this possible, 1500 years ago?</i>

533
00:32:25,219 --> 00:32:26,741
<i>And in Colombia,</i>

534
00:32:26,742 --> 00:32:33,089
<i>there were thousands of tomb artifacts</i>
<i>that look like modern day airplanes.</i>

535
00:32:33,182 --> 00:32:37,123
<i>It has fixed wings, it has a fuselage,</i>

536
00:32:37,526 --> 00:32:43,755
<i>and it has an upright tail fan,</i>
<i>which is not intrinsec to nature,</i>

537
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,454
but it it's intrinsec to
modern day aerodynamics.

538
00:32:49,019 --> 00:32:54,691
<i>Did our ancestors see something similar</i>
<i>flying in the air?, Absolutely.</i>

539
00:32:55,069 --> 00:32:59,525
<i>Another compelling artifact that</i>
<i>was found was at the Istanbul museum,</i>

540
00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:06,046
<i>where you have this headless spaceman,</i>
<i>sitting inside some type of space vehicle.</i>

541
00:33:06,239 --> 00:33:09,781
<i>You can see his hands,</i>
<i>and you can see tubing,</i>

542
00:33:09,782 --> 00:33:12,096
<i>that go to some sort of devices,</i>

543
00:33:12,204 --> 00:33:15,093
<i>He wearing a suit, his legs</i>
<i>are cramp in there.</i>

544
00:33:15,468 --> 00:33:20,596
<i>I mean, even to the untrained eye</i>
<i>This looks very aerodynamic,</i>

545
00:33:20,763 --> 00:33:25,097
and it looks something, that,
you know, came from outer space.

546
00:33:26,306 --> 00:33:30,847
<i>These people witnessed something,</i>
they were told something,

547
00:33:31,019 --> 00:33:32,620
And they tried to depicted,

548
00:33:32,621 --> 00:33:36,726
the best way they could, with the kind
of technology they had at that time.

549
00:33:36,912 --> 00:33:39,429
<i>And that was simple tools</i>
<i>and simple artwork.</i>

550
00:33:39,637 --> 00:33:46,079
Many of these ancient civilizations
were widely separated, in space and time.

551
00:33:46,115 --> 00:33:48,669
They weren't in communication
with each other,

552
00:33:49,019 --> 00:33:53,229
<i>but still they had the</i>
<i>same kinds of accounts.</i>

553
00:33:53,336 --> 00:33:56,951
<i>I think it's because they</i>
<i>all experienced these things.</i>

554
00:33:56,998 --> 00:34:02,468
<i>and they all had the idea that we are</i>
<i>part of a cosmic hierarchy beings.</i>

555
00:34:02,754 --> 00:34:07,509
So I think we can explain
things away so easily.

556
00:34:09,655 --> 00:34:11,188
<i>But for Erik Von Däniken...</i>

557
00:34:11,248 --> 00:34:14,368
<i>and other proponents of these</i>
<i>ancient astronaut theories.</i>

558
00:34:14,733 --> 00:34:18,681
<i>perhaps the most significant</i>
<i>illustration, can be found in Mexico.</i>

559
00:34:20,703 --> 00:34:23,345
<i>The Mayan archaeological</i>
<i>site of Palenque,</i>

560
00:34:23,624 --> 00:34:25,531
<i>have been abandoned for centuries,</i>

561
00:34:25,572 --> 00:34:28,497
<i>before were stumbled upon</i>
<i>by Spanish explorers.</i>

562
00:34:30,163 --> 00:34:33,439
♪ get to the top of this...
and suddenly...

563
00:34:34,411 --> 00:34:37,358
... here are the great
pyramids of Palenque.

564
00:34:39,088 --> 00:34:41,889
<i>Here, deep within a secret tomb,</i>

565
00:34:42,125 --> 00:34:44,373
<i>under one of the age old temples.</i>

566
00:34:44,588 --> 00:34:46,840
<i>lies the 7 tons sarcophagus,</i>

567
00:34:46,905 --> 00:34:50,444
<i>of Palenque 7th century ruler:</i>
<i>Pakal the Great.</i>

568
00:34:51,123 --> 00:34:55,393
<i>Lord Pakal apparently</i>
<i>died here at Palenque.</i>

569
00:34:55,662 --> 00:35:01,278
<i>He was barely as mysterious</i>
<i>Mayan leader, he was a giant.</i>

570
00:35:01,713 --> 00:35:03,875
<i>7-8 ft tall actually.</i>

571
00:35:04,418 --> 00:35:08,720
<i>And then they built this pyramid</i>
<i>around his tomb.</i>

572
00:35:08,945 --> 00:35:12,900
The Mayans literally worship him
as some kind of a god.

573
00:35:14,472 --> 00:35:16,284
<i>King Pakal sarcophagus,</i>

574
00:35:16,466 --> 00:35:18,653
<i>It's adorned with the carving</i>
<i>at these become...</i>

575
00:35:18,654 --> 00:35:21,668
<i>a famous example</i>
<i>of classic mayan art.</i>

576
00:35:22,317 --> 00:35:25,091
<i>Most believe the illustration shows Pakal</i>

577
00:35:25,092 --> 00:35:27,381
<i>descending into the Mayan underworld.</i>

578
00:35:28,118 --> 00:35:33,210
<i>but ancient astronaut theorists, interpret</i>
<i>the carving a vastly different way...</i>

579
00:35:33,366 --> 00:35:36,642
<i>On this lap an incredible enchiseling.</i>

580
00:35:37,114 --> 00:35:40,445
You see a man, <i>and hes sitting</i>
<i>on a sort of capsule,</i>

581
00:35:40,581 --> 00:35:42,870
<i>has has some sort of mask on his nose,</i>

582
00:35:42,977 --> 00:35:46,181
<i>and in his upper hand</i>
<i>hes manipulating some control.</i>

583
00:35:46,389 --> 00:35:48,717
<i>from the lower hand, his</i>
<i>turning some * arm.</i>

584
00:35:49,099 --> 00:35:51,716
<i>the heel of his left foot</i>
<i>is on a kind of pedal,</i>

585
00:35:51,745 --> 00:35:54,991
<i>and outside of the capsule</i>
<i>you see a linking flame.</i>

586
00:35:55,563 --> 00:35:56,814
This is incredible.

587
00:35:56,979 --> 00:35:59,339
This is absolutely proof
of extraterrestrials.

588
00:36:00,877 --> 00:36:01,555
3...

589
00:36:01,914 --> 00:36:02,606
2...

590
00:36:02,936 --> 00:36:03,632
1...

591
00:36:03,917 --> 00:36:05,755
Zero.
Lift off.

592
00:36:06,684 --> 00:36:10,173
<i>If you look at the similarities of</i>
<i>what astronauts look like when they are</i>

593
00:36:10,374 --> 00:36:13,605
<i>in a rocket ship or in a space shuttle</i>
<i>and have a gear attached to them,</i>

594
00:36:13,606 --> 00:36:15,831
<i>there are similarities been</i> shown, so...

595
00:36:15,974 --> 00:36:17,716
Once you has to ask the question of

596
00:36:18,018 --> 00:36:19,849
you know, it's this just an artifact,

597
00:36:19,999 --> 00:36:22,987
symbolicly showing something
or are they trying to depict

598
00:36:23,130 --> 00:36:25,143
what their own limit
understandig of the time,

599
00:36:25,343 --> 00:36:26,522
what was taken place?

600
00:36:27,558 --> 00:36:31,949
<i>Was Lord Pakal just some</i>
<i>Mayan King that everyone liked?</i>

601
00:36:32,228 --> 00:36:36,913
<i>was he some important visitor</i>
<i>from some far off land?</i>

602
00:36:37,649 --> 00:36:39,218
or was he even possibly,

603
00:36:39,219 --> 00:36:42,219
some extraterrestrial,
from another planet?

604
00:36:45,194 --> 00:36:47,932
<i>Although most scientists</i>
<i>and archaeologists,</i>

605
00:36:48,132 --> 00:36:52,115
descredit Von Däniken's interpretation
of the Palenque carvings,

606
00:36:52,675 --> 00:36:55,990
<i>visitors to the site</i>
<i>are often trade to stories,</i>

607
00:36:56,033 --> 00:36:58,636
<i>and offer souvenirs</i>
<i>that support his claim.</i>

608
00:36:59,268 --> 00:37:01,048
This is Erik Von Däniken's theory...

609
00:37:01,544 --> 00:37:02,696
"The Chariots of the Gods"

610
00:37:03,842 --> 00:37:05,884
You see, Pakal suppose to be driving...

611
00:37:06,227 --> 00:37:07,007
the rocket,

612
00:37:07,486 --> 00:37:08,732
holding the controls,

613
00:37:09,554 --> 00:37:10,628
the pedals...

614
00:37:11,888 --> 00:37:12,999
the engine,

615
00:37:13,736 --> 00:37:15,052
and the fire of the rocket,

616
00:37:15,502 --> 00:37:16,661
this would be the cabin.

617
00:37:17,716 --> 00:37:19,096
And this is oxygen.

618
00:37:20,341 --> 00:37:24,978
mainstream archaeologists claim that
It's really a depiction of Lord Pakal,

619
00:37:25,232 --> 00:37:26,962
<i>in his journey to the underworld,</i>

620
00:37:27,183 --> 00:37:28,550
<i>he is doing under the ground,</i>

621
00:37:28,613 --> 00:37:30,712
<i>rather than out into space.</i>

622
00:37:31,906 --> 00:37:36,186
Both are interesting theories,
and either could be right on my mind.

623
00:37:37,995 --> 00:37:42,847
<i>In recent years, Pakal's Tomb it's been</i>
<i>close to tourist and casual visitors.</i>

624
00:37:43,326 --> 00:37:47,810
Althought the sarcohagous it's off limit's,
ancient astronaut theorists

625
00:37:47,811 --> 00:37:52,166
<i>can still find a wealth of evidence in</i>
<i>the carvings along the walls of Palenque.</i>

626
00:37:52,323 --> 00:37:57,544
<i>This is very similar to as... on</i>
<i>the lead of Lord Pakal at his tomb.</i>

627
00:37:57,658 --> 00:38:03,565
<i>* his left hand right here</i>
<i>in like an odd position on his wrist.</i>

628
00:38:03,566 --> 00:38:08,149
althought some kind of rocket exhaust
there some lines are coming out of them,

629
00:38:10,476 --> 00:38:14,038
<i>But Lord Pakal may</i>
<i>not had been the only alien,</i>

630
00:38:14,039 --> 00:38:16,298
that once walked the Palenque ruins.

631
00:38:16,513 --> 00:38:21,311
<i>The Mayans has such advanced calendar</i>
<i>and mathematical system.</i>

632
00:38:21,404 --> 00:38:23,986
<i>Why were they so
obsessed with the stars?</i>

633
00:38:24,429 --> 00:38:27,561
One of the most advanced
of any ancient cultures,

634
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:33,611
And yet the Mayans just
vanished around 500 A.D.

635
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,354
<i>We do not know where they went.</i>
<i>And one explanation,</i>

636
00:38:37,355 --> 00:38:40,426
<i>Was it the Mayans some</i>
<i>kind of extraterrestrials,</i>

637
00:38:40,427 --> 00:38:42,421
and they literally left our planet.

638
00:38:44,974 --> 00:38:47,906
<i>But ancient cave drawings</i>
<i>and stone carvings,</i>

639
00:38:48,214 --> 00:38:53,155
<i>are the only type of illustrations</i>
<i>that fascinate ancient alien theorists?</i>

640
00:38:53,555 --> 00:38:57,238
<i>in 1929, historians discovered a map,</i>

641
00:38:57,402 --> 00:39:00,284
<i>which it been painted onto</i>
<i>a piece of gazelle *</i>

642
00:39:01,170 --> 00:39:05,246
<i>They traced the document back to a</i>
<i>sixteen century turkish almirant...</i>

643
00:39:05,303 --> 00:39:06,590
... named Piri Reis.

644
00:39:07,234 --> 00:39:11,175
<i>But in * contrast to other maps</i>
<i>dating back of that time,</i>

645
00:39:11,518 --> 00:39:15,823
the map depicts land masses that
would still, as yet unexplored.

646
00:39:16,094 --> 00:39:24,686
<i>It shows the coast of Antarctica</i>
as it exists under the current ice cover.

647
00:39:25,812 --> 00:39:29,631
<i>That actually pretty amazing, because</i>
<i>it would tent indicate that the map,</i>

648
00:39:29,731 --> 00:39:35,223
<i>was made in a time when</i>
<i>Antarctica was ice free.</i>

649
00:39:35,817 --> 00:39:39,096
<i>which would be many</i>
<i>millions of years ago.</i>

650
00:39:39,636 --> 00:39:44,127
<i>The map also accuratly charts</i>
<i>the coasts of Europe and North Africa,</i>

651
00:39:44,649 --> 00:39:47,312
<i>But is the illustration</i>
<i>of northern Antarctica,</i>

652
00:39:47,313 --> 00:39:50,708
<i>that trully astonishes</i>
<i>ancient astronauts theorists,</i>

653
00:39:51,023 --> 00:39:56,243
<i>because this region wouldn't even</i>
<i>been discovered for another 300 years,</i>

654
00:39:56,301 --> 00:40:00,677
If remember that Antarctica is
covered by at least a mile thick ice.

655
00:40:00,756 --> 00:40:03,888
We did not have ground-penetration
radar until to 1958.

656
00:40:04,060 --> 00:40:08,326
so for a map to exist in 1531
<i>accurratly showing this topography,</i>

657
00:40:08,462 --> 00:40:09,523
<i>It's pretty interesting.</i>

658
00:40:11,747 --> 00:40:15,022
<i>When Cartographers super</i>
<i>impose the Piri Reis map,</i>

659
00:40:15,179 --> 00:40:19,441
<i>over modern map of the world,</i>
<i>they were amaze to discover,</i>

660
00:40:19,592 --> 00:40:24,884
<i>that the ancient chart was fantasticly</i>
<i>accurate in the most minute of details.</i>

661
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,030
<i>But how the creators of</i>
<i>a centuries old map,</i>

662
00:40:28,245 --> 00:40:31,300
<i>have known the mountains or rivers</i>
<i>that yet to be discovered?</i>

663
00:40:32,345 --> 00:40:36,807
In 1531 I really dont know of any one who
was flying about the surface of the Earth,

664
00:40:37,015 --> 00:40:39,203
high enough to map topography,

665
00:40:39,311 --> 00:40:41,292
<i>and how do they see</i>
<i>underneath the ice?</i>

666
00:40:41,828 --> 00:40:44,696
Their maps were so accurate...

667
00:40:44,796 --> 00:40:49,395
... I mean we know that they didn't
go to Antarctica and explore it,

668
00:40:49,502 --> 00:40:52,234
<i>but yet they were able</i>
<i>to draw this maps of there.</i>

669
00:40:55,727 --> 00:40:59,785
<i>But if ancient aliens possessed</i>
<i>the technology to travel the universe,</i>

670
00:41:00,285 --> 00:41:04,276
<i>with the only evidence of their journey</i>
<i>be in the form of a few carvings,</i>

671
00:41:04,347 --> 00:41:05,970
<i>or a mysterious map?</i>

672
00:41:06,504 --> 00:41:10,147
<i>Wouldn't there also be signs</i>
<i>of a highly advanced technology?</i>

673
00:41:10,791 --> 00:41:14,385
<i>Signs that might be</i>
<i>too large to overlook.</i>

674
00:41:14,897 --> 00:41:19,782
You mean to tell me that people of
that time period did this by hand?

675
00:41:19,989 --> 00:41:21,319
I don't think so.

676
00:41:27,091 --> 00:41:30,373
<i>When it comes to search for</i>
<i>evidence of ancient aliens,</i>

677
00:41:31,539 --> 00:41:35,764
<i>Erik Von Däniken literally</i>
<i>leaves no stones unturned.</i>

678
00:41:36,895 --> 00:41:39,662
<i>I have collected for more</i>
<i>than 40 years information.</i>

679
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,360
<i>and there are two sorts of evidences</i>
<i>to support my hypothesis.</i>

680
00:41:44,911 --> 00:41:47,134
<i>The one source is literature,</i>

681
00:41:47,135 --> 00:41:51,076
<i>this might be archaeological</i>
<i>or mythological... literature,</i>

682
00:41:51,248 --> 00:41:53,973
<i>and the other source</i>
<i>are practical objects.</i>

683
00:41:54,145 --> 00:41:57,613
For example, the pyramids
are linked to the gods.

684
00:41:57,806 --> 00:42:03,143
the gods who once descended
from the sky to us earthlings.

685
00:42:04,816 --> 00:42:07,067
<i>Without a little interplanetary help,</i>

686
00:42:07,410 --> 00:42:10,744
<i>how else could early Egyptians</i>
<i>have learned to stack...</i>

687
00:42:10,873 --> 00:42:14,481
<i>the nearly two and a half million</i>
<i>limestone and granite blocks,</i>

688
00:42:14,482 --> 00:42:16,518
that create the Great Pyramid?

689
00:42:18,611 --> 00:42:22,843
<i>How could prehistoric man moved</i>
<i>the inmense boulders at Stonehenge?</i>

690
00:42:25,392 --> 00:42:29,901
<i>And how could ancient builders at Cuzco,</i>
<i>fixed stones so closely together,</i>

691
00:42:30,017 --> 00:42:32,898
<i>that even a razor blade</i>
<i>can't fit between them?</i>

692
00:42:37,769 --> 00:42:41,188
<i>While was traveling around the world</i>
<i>trying to piece together this... this...</i>

693
00:42:41,209 --> 00:42:43,778
<i>... this puzzle of the ancient world,</i>

694
00:42:44,056 --> 00:42:49,039
<i>is no that much to really get</i>
<i>a good grasp on what there is...</i>

695
00:42:49,697 --> 00:42:53,388
is... giant blocks of stone,

696
00:42:53,632 --> 00:42:56,170
huge articulated granite,

697
00:42:56,171 --> 00:42:59,137
or basalt blocks in many cases

698
00:42:59,138 --> 00:43:01,852
sometimes at weight of thousands tons.

699
00:43:05,502 --> 00:43:08,548
<i>At these things at the</i>
<i>sizes of railway cars,</i>

700
00:43:08,549 --> 00:43:12,355
<i>and you find them in Peru and Bolivia</i>
<i>and Mexico and ancient Egypt.</i>

701
00:43:13,035 --> 00:43:14,911
<i>You have to ask yourself:</i>

702
00:43:15,217 --> 00:43:16,390
<i>Why...</i>

703
00:43:16,656 --> 00:43:17,793
<i>and how...</i>

704
00:43:18,193 --> 00:43:24,278
<i>could ancient people have dragged</i>
<i>this railway cars sized block of stone</i>

705
00:43:24,783 --> 00:43:28,746
<i>stack them up together</i>
<i>into this giant buildings?</i>

706
00:43:30,433 --> 00:43:32,130
<i>Perhaps the most familiar,</i>

707
00:43:32,344 --> 00:43:34,049
<i>and most mysterious,</i>

708
00:43:34,177 --> 00:43:36,565
<i>megalithic structure in all the world</i>

709
00:43:36,789 --> 00:43:39,048
<i>is the Great Pyramid of Gizah.</i>

710
00:43:39,745 --> 00:43:43,493
<i>The oldest and largest of</i>
<i>Egypt's three great pyramids.</i>

711
00:43:43,784 --> 00:43:45,777
<i>This miracle of engeniering,</i>

712
00:43:45,778 --> 00:43:49,474
<i>it's belive to have been constructed</i>
<i>dued in a twenty years period.</i>

713
00:43:49,563 --> 00:43:52,480
<i>and in around 2,560 B.C.</i>

714
00:43:53,648 --> 00:43:58,504
<i>But to ancient alien theorists</i>
<i>those numbers just dont adapt.</i>

715
00:44:01,721 --> 00:44:06,139
The Great Pyramid was not
built in only 22 years,

716
00:44:06,497 --> 00:44:08,134
because logisticly speaking,

717
00:44:08,292 --> 00:44:09,886
we would have to cut,

718
00:44:10,126 --> 00:44:13,952
transport and put into place, one stone...

719
00:44:14,327 --> 00:44:16,609
... every nine seconds.

720
00:44:18,576 --> 00:44:20,877
<i>And there are modern engineers,</i>

721
00:44:21,005 --> 00:44:23,037
<i>who have come forward and said:</i>

722
00:44:23,123 --> 00:44:26,450
<i>"We couldnt do this in</i>
<i>twenty two years either".</i>

723
00:44:27,526 --> 00:44:31,144
There are countless theories on how
the Great Pyramid of Gizah was built.

724
00:44:31,430 --> 00:44:34,212
So many theories, you just
sit back and shake your head.

725
00:44:34,477 --> 00:44:37,366
And that includes ET visitations,

726
00:44:37,586 --> 00:44:41,981
levitating the blocks with
some kind of sound system,

727
00:44:42,489 --> 00:44:44,027
Antigravity.

728
00:44:45,911 --> 00:44:48,828
<i>Thousands of workers pulling long ropes,</i>

729
00:44:48,864 --> 00:44:51,744
<i>and a ramp that has to be</i>
<i>almost two miles long.</i>

730
00:44:51,941 --> 00:44:53,571
to get it up to where it is.

731
00:44:56,138 --> 00:44:57,060
<i>All I know...</i>

732
00:44:57,269 --> 00:44:59,908
<i>is that they are so finely aligned,</i>

733
00:45:00,127 --> 00:45:03,193
<i>and that the architecture is so precise,</i>

734
00:45:03,398 --> 00:45:05,529
<i>that even modern people today,</i>

735
00:45:05,615 --> 00:45:08,820
<i>with great technology,</i>
<i>would have a difficult time,</i>

736
00:45:09,171 --> 00:45:10,787
<i>being that good.</i>

737
00:45:13,711 --> 00:45:17,665
<i>How for example in the inside</i>
<i>of the pyramids in the tombs</i>

738
00:45:17,666 --> 00:45:23,845
<i>could they build granite and marble areas</i>
<i>that were just so perfect and so clean?</i>

739
00:45:25,926 --> 00:45:29,134
You mean to tell me that
people of that time period

740
00:45:29,685 --> 00:45:31,099
did this by hand?

741
00:45:31,371 --> 00:45:32,293
I don't think so.

742
00:45:34,831 --> 00:45:37,739
<i>The enormous size and</i>
<i>weight of the stones</i>

743
00:45:38,004 --> 00:45:40,371
<i>multiplied by their * number them</i>

744
00:45:40,709 --> 00:45:42,475
<i>makes one thing certain:</i>

745
00:45:43,068 --> 00:45:45,098
<i>The construction of Great Pyramid</i>

746
00:45:45,206 --> 00:45:47,587
<i>remain as one of the greatest marvels</i>

747
00:45:47,695 --> 00:45:48,789
<i>and mysteries.</i>

748
00:45:48,946 --> 00:45:50,963
<i>of architectural engeniering.</i>

749
00:45:52,617 --> 00:45:54,275
<i>I don't want to discount human ingenuity</i>

750
00:45:54,276 --> 00:45:56,910
<i>because I do believe that we have</i>
<i>the ability to do these things</i>

751
00:45:56,911 --> 00:45:58,371
<i>over a long period of time,</i>

752
00:45:58,578 --> 00:46:01,095
<i>but the knowledge to build</i>
<i>some of these monuments</i>

753
00:46:01,096 --> 00:46:03,075
There have to been
some type of intervention

754
00:46:03,076 --> 00:46:05,529
or some type of knowledge
give them to ancient man,

755
00:46:05,883 --> 00:46:08,757
to carry others instructions that
couldnt just come up on their own.

756
00:46:10,528 --> 00:46:12,594
<i>In Egypt there are old traditions</i>

757
00:46:12,924 --> 00:46:15,536
<i>saying the Great Pyramid was contructed</i>

758
00:46:15,537 --> 00:46:17,955
<i>by a Pharaoh with the name of</i> Saurit,

759
00:46:18,361 --> 00:46:21,293
and they say Saurit is the same...

760
00:46:21,406 --> 00:46:24,249
... which the Hebrew communitiy

761
00:46:24,421 --> 00:46:25,561
calls Enoch.

762
00:46:27,052 --> 00:46:29,748
<i>Enoch is a prophet in the Old Testament,</i>

763
00:46:29,963 --> 00:46:33,503
<i>There are books of Enoch</i>
<i>called the apocryphy texts.</i>

764
00:46:34,393 --> 00:46:37,447
<i>You make a connection with Enoch</i>
<i>to this extraterrestrials.</i>

765
00:46:37,805 --> 00:46:40,901
<i>He clearly says: I met</i>
<i>these extraterrestrials.</i>

766
00:46:41,638 --> 00:46:44,554
<i>Now we have writings</i>
<i>in the book of Enoch,</i>

767
00:46:44,790 --> 00:46:49,763
and he gave the order to construct a
building which cannot be destroyed

768
00:46:49,913 --> 00:46:52,472
by the thousands of years at the future.

769
00:46:57,113 --> 00:47:00,440
<i>In the ancient Egyptian texts</i>

770
00:47:00,441 --> 00:47:06,016
<i>speak that the pyramids</i>
<i>were built by human beings</i>

771
00:47:06,074 --> 00:47:11,537
<i>with the assistance of</i>
<i>the guardians of the sky,</i>

772
00:47:11,809 --> 00:47:13,997
<i>meaning, The Gods.</i>

773
00:47:14,566 --> 00:47:16,747
<i>And so we have propose</i>

774
00:47:17,022 --> 00:47:20,416
that the pyramids were
built by human hands.

775
00:47:20,831 --> 00:47:25,683
but with the assistance of
extraterrestrial technology.

776
00:47:28,394 --> 00:47:30,585
As one of the Seven<i></i>
<i>Wonders of the World,</i>

777
00:47:30,857 --> 00:47:32,645
<i>The Great Pyramid remains...</i>

778
00:47:32,784 --> 00:47:37,089
<i>not only archaeological mystery,</i>
<i>but a geographical marvel.</i>

779
00:47:38,055 --> 00:47:42,523
<i>In 1877, author and theologian,</i>
<i>Joseph Seiss,</i>

780
00:47:42,524 --> 00:47:45,564
<i>demonstrated, that the</i>
<i>great pyramid resides</i>

781
00:47:45,594 --> 00:47:48,905
<i>at the intersection of the</i>
<i>longest line of latitude</i>

782
00:47:48,963 --> 00:47:51,380
<i>and the longest line of longitud.</i>

783
00:47:51,705 --> 00:47:55,588
<i>The exact center of all</i>
<i>the land mass in the world.</i>

784
00:47:56,439 --> 00:47:57,245
<i>Also...</i>

785
00:47:57,574 --> 00:47:59,269
<i>each of the four sides,</i>

786
00:47:59,432 --> 00:48:03,594
<i>aligns almost precisely,</i>
<i>with the four points of the compas,</i>

787
00:48:04,037 --> 00:48:09,351
<i>those such an instrument, wasnt even</i>
<i>designed until thousands of years later.</i>

788
00:48:12,154 --> 00:48:15,895
<i>But it as just mere coincidence,</i>
<i>the pyramid contruction,</i>

789
00:48:16,164 --> 00:48:19,032
<i>very similar to that</i>
<i>practice in ancient Egypt,</i>

790
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:22,402
<i>was also evolving half</i>
<i>way round the world.</i>

791
00:48:23,502 --> 00:48:26,475
<i>There are pyramids on</i>
<i>remote Pacific islands,</i>

792
00:48:27,305 --> 00:48:28,975
<i>and in India,</i>

793
00:48:29,697 --> 00:48:30,993
<i>and in Mexico.</i>

794
00:48:31,817 --> 00:48:35,115
<i>So this is something thats</i>
<i>all over the world.</i>

795
00:48:35,577 --> 00:48:38,744
<i>Archaeologists haven't really</i>
<i>been able to explain why</i>

796
00:48:38,745 --> 00:48:42,683
disimilar cultures,
separated by huge oceans,

797
00:48:42,768 --> 00:48:46,892
are building the same structures
and in many ways the same way.

798
00:48:49,328 --> 00:48:51,402
<i>Here in central Mexico,</i>

799
00:48:51,638 --> 00:48:55,811
<i>stands an ancient city that</i>
<i>dates back more than 2000 years.</i>

800
00:48:56,457 --> 00:49:01,954
<i>It's name... "Teotihuacán",</i>
<i>literally means "City of the Gods".</i>

801
00:49:02,758 --> 00:49:06,875
<i>And located at it's center,</i>
<i>It's the Pyramid of the Sun</i>

802
00:49:07,783 --> 00:49:10,564
<i>Incredibly, this pyramid's perimeter,</i>

803
00:49:10,704 --> 00:49:14,201
<i>is virtually the same as that</i>
<i>of the Great Pyramid of Gizah.</i>

804
00:49:15,925 --> 00:49:19,420
<i>Structural coincidence?,
or... could it be...</i>

805
00:49:19,421 --> 00:49:22,773
<i>... that both were inspired</i>
<i>by te same designers?</i>

806
00:49:23,667 --> 00:49:24,992
<i>Couple of theories for that.</i>

807
00:49:25,058 --> 00:49:26,174
<i>Ok, One...</i>

808
00:49:26,377 --> 00:49:31,298
<i>maybe they were all taught the same</i>
<i>thing by an extraterrestrial race.</i>

809
00:49:31,902 --> 00:49:32,609
Two...

810
00:49:32,866 --> 00:49:35,478
<i>There were ancient travelers</i>
<i>from within in this planet,</i>

811
00:49:35,479 --> 00:49:37,734
<i>who... went from one area to another.</i>

812
00:49:37,956 --> 00:49:39,765
<i>over the thousands of past years.</i>

813
00:49:39,808 --> 00:49:41,942
And then some skeptics will say:

814
00:49:42,550 --> 00:49:45,286
Hey, thats the greatest archaeological
way to make it!,

815
00:49:45,287 --> 00:49:46,806
so they just knew it.

816
00:49:47,403 --> 00:49:49,362
I do not think that the case.

817
00:49:54,032 --> 00:49:56,991
<i>At Teotihuacan here we have... a...</i>

818
00:49:56,992 --> 00:49:59,868
<i>Giant Pyramid of the Sun and</i>
<i>the Giant Pyramid of the Moon.</i>

819
00:50:00,047 --> 00:50:05,074
<i>According to the legends, these things</i>
<i>were built by gods who were giants.</i>

820
00:50:05,439 --> 00:50:08,608
<i>at the end of one of the</i>
<i>destructions of the world.</i>

821
00:50:11,383 --> 00:50:13,770
<i>Civilizations such as the Aztecs,</i>

822
00:50:13,871 --> 00:50:16,431
<i>and the Mayans and the Hopi</i>
<i>Indians of Northern Arizona,</i>

823
00:50:16,604 --> 00:50:20,737
<i>they believe that the world has</i>
<i>been destroyed four times in the past.</i>

824
00:50:21,023 --> 00:50:22,119
One time by ice,

825
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,018
once by fire,

826
00:50:23,019 --> 00:50:23,933
once by water...

827
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,742
<i>Each time mankind rebuild again.</i>

828
00:50:31,099 --> 00:50:34,580
<i>And Teotihuacan supposedly was built,</i>

829
00:50:34,756 --> 00:50:38,160
<i>just at the beginning of one</i>
<i>of these four worlds.</i>

830
00:50:41,227 --> 00:50:42,554
<i>You may ask the question:</i>

831
00:50:42,741 --> 00:50:46,252
<i>Why build these huge,</i>
<i>huge structures?</i>

832
00:50:46,290 --> 00:50:47,469
<i>For what purpose?</i>

833
00:50:48,565 --> 00:50:52,959
Well... in Egypt, for example:
Either the Pharaoh had incredible egos,

834
00:50:53,353 --> 00:50:55,558
and they wanted out do
themselves, right?

835
00:50:55,773 --> 00:50:59,224
<i>so they build these huge</i>
<i>museums for themselves,</i>

836
00:50:59,646 --> 00:51:06,311
<i>or... is also possible that these ancients</i>
<i>wanted to leave behind something for us?</i>

837
00:51:08,042 --> 00:51:11,424
<i>It is written in ancient Egyptian texts,</i>

838
00:51:11,554 --> 00:51:14,737
<i>the purpose why the pyramids was build?</i>

839
00:51:14,922 --> 00:51:17,969
<i>Was to store knowledge?</i>

840
00:51:18,684 --> 00:51:25,442
300 books, which allegedly contain
the knowledge of the universe,

841
00:51:26,307 --> 00:51:30,712
<i>dictated by the guardians of the sky.</i>

842
00:51:33,508 --> 00:51:36,974
<i>Of course, the pyramids are</i>
<i>the only ancient monuments,</i>

843
00:51:36,976 --> 00:51:40,255
<i>that continue to bafle</i>
<i>scientists and archaeologists.</i>

844
00:51:42,122 --> 00:51:44,411
<i>There they literally hundreds of them,</i>

845
00:51:44,830 --> 00:51:48,351
<i>and they can be found in</i>
<i>every corner of our world.</i>

846
00:51:53,586 --> 00:51:56,096
<i>In a remote area of the Pacific Ocean,</i>

847
00:51:56,411 --> 00:52:00,637
<i>lies one of the most isolated</i>
<i>yet unhabited locations in the world.</i>

848
00:52:01,102 --> 00:52:02,118
<i>Easter Island.</i>

849
00:52:08,734 --> 00:52:15,227
<i>Here, over 800 stone guardians called Moai</i>
<i>stand watch over the islands coast line.</i>

850
00:52:17,679 --> 00:52:22,506
<i>But are they primitive native carvings</i>
<i>or eerie portraIt's of alien visitors,</i>

851
00:52:22,507 --> 00:52:24,287
<i>from thousands of years ago?</i>

852
00:52:26,210 --> 00:52:29,831
Whatever they were for, there made
to last for thousands of years,

853
00:52:30,031 --> 00:52:34,879
there built out <i>of... block stones</i>
<i>that weight many... many tons.</i>

854
00:52:34,985 --> 00:52:42,165
<i>Not only are people building structures</i>
<i>are these huge megalithic blocks stone.</i>

855
00:52:42,452 --> 00:52:44,761
<i>but this was going all around the world.</i>

856
00:52:45,036 --> 00:52:49,261
<i>And yet supposely it's just</i>
<i>primitive people doing this</i>

857
00:52:49,411 --> 00:52:51,480
<i>for no really good reason as with in.</i>

858
00:52:52,101 --> 00:52:54,905
<i>I mean one of the things that</i>
<i>comes into our considerations</i>

859
00:52:54,906 --> 00:52:57,005
of what ancient cultures could acomplish.

860
00:52:57,341 --> 00:52:59,415
It's whether they were able
to write it down or not.

861
00:52:59,601 --> 00:53:02,903
<i>Were very tight to what we have</i>
<i>evidence they wrote down,</i>

862
00:53:02,953 --> 00:53:05,372
<i>how they did it,</i>
<i>then we belive in how they did it.</i>

863
00:53:05,594 --> 00:53:08,348
<i>So, Egypt we have a lot more</i>
<i>writings and drawings,</i>

864
00:53:08,434 --> 00:53:10,214
<i>that show them building the pyramids,</i>

865
00:53:10,250 --> 00:53:11,879
<i>give us an idea of the technology.</i>

866
00:53:12,204 --> 00:53:13,954
<i>You view some like Easter Island</i>

867
00:53:14,111 --> 00:53:16,592
<i>we dont have any writing</i>
<i>evidence in what they did.</i>

868
00:53:16,628 --> 00:53:19,739
<i>and sometimes that lead us</i>
<i>to the question of intervendness.</i>

869
00:53:24,454 --> 00:53:26,391
<i>3500 miles away,</i>

870
00:53:26,534 --> 00:53:28,262
<i>in the Republic of Bolivia,</i>

871
00:53:28,755 --> 00:53:30,342
<i>stone work exists,</i>

872
00:53:30,343 --> 00:53:33,947
<i>which is amazingly similar</i>
<i>to the statues of Easter Island.</i>

873
00:53:38,074 --> 00:53:39,951
<i>Tiwanaku is in fact,</i>

874
00:53:40,179 --> 00:53:43,576
<i>so ancient, but it defies</i>
<i>modern day in techniques.</i>

875
00:53:44,890 --> 00:53:48,759
<i>It is estimated, to be</i>
<i>over 17000 years old.</i>

876
00:53:48,801 --> 00:53:51,440
<i>Perhaps the oldest city in the world.</i>

877
00:53:54,119 --> 00:53:57,154
<i>And somehow the sculptures at Tiwanaku,</i>

878
00:53:57,354 --> 00:53:59,672
<i>were constructed in the same style,</i>

879
00:54:00,001 --> 00:54:02,641
<i>and with the same enigmatic expressions,</i>

880
00:54:02,726 --> 00:54:05,301
<i>as their distant cousins</i>
<i>on Easter Island.</i>

881
00:54:07,449 --> 00:54:11,887
A lot of stuff at Tiwanaku,
you can see in earlier civilizations.

882
00:54:12,441 --> 00:54:17,619
<i>All way back * into the...</i>
<i>into the centuries B.C. in Peru.</i>

883
00:54:18,224 --> 00:54:22,993
<i>you see some the same patterns,</i>
<i>some of the same iconography, imagery,</i>

884
00:54:23,630 --> 00:54:25,625
<i>and you can see the ancestry of it.</i>

885
00:54:30,609 --> 00:54:33,849
<i>but while tourists flew</i>
<i>to the ruins at Tiwanaku,</i>

886
00:54:34,063 --> 00:54:37,152
<i>perhaps the most mystifing</i>
<i>of all ancient sites,</i>

887
00:54:37,295 --> 00:54:39,770
<i>lies just a few hundreds yards away.</i>

888
00:54:40,421 --> 00:54:43,238
<i>At relatively little</i>
<i>interest of most visitors.</i>

889
00:54:43,510 --> 00:54:46,507
Puma Punku, is a field of stone ruins

890
00:54:46,508 --> 00:54:48,561
<i>that both thrills and stimulates,</i>

891
00:54:48,676 --> 00:54:51,563
<i>the imaginations of ancient</i>
<i>alien theorists.</i>

892
00:55:00,086 --> 00:55:01,230
In my opinion,

893
00:55:02,042 --> 00:55:05,481
the most significant piece
of evidence that we have,

894
00:55:05,574 --> 00:55:08,992
<i>in this entire ancient</i>
<i>astronaut puzzle,</i>

895
00:55:09,113 --> 00:55:13,118
<i>is Puma Punku, in the</i>
<i>highland of Bolivia,</i>

896
00:55:19,070 --> 00:55:21,923
<i>While the Pyramids at Gizah,</i>

897
00:55:22,381 --> 00:55:24,969
<i>are incredible * of achievment.</i>

898
00:55:25,473 --> 00:55:29,610
<i>compared to Puma Punku,</i>
<i>the Pyramids are childplay.</i>

899
00:55:36,061 --> 00:55:39,951
<i>Logic does not exists at Puma Punku,</i>

900
00:55:40,216 --> 00:55:44,263
<i>because there we have
megalithic structures,</i>

901
00:55:44,715 --> 00:55:47,675
<i>which just lie about this entire site,</i>

902
00:55:47,868 --> 00:55:51,894
<i>as if ripped apart by...</i>
<i>by some sort of great force.</i>

903
00:55:54,425 --> 00:55:56,232
<i>The blocks at Puma Punku,</i>

904
00:55:56,532 --> 00:55:58,172
<i>were so finely cut,</i>

905
00:55:58,301 --> 00:56:00,625
<i>that they once perfectly interlocked,</i>

906
00:56:00,811 --> 00:56:03,444
<i>like the pieces of</i>
<i>an elaborated puzzle.</i>

907
00:56:03,926 --> 00:56:07,094
<i>But with the nearest quarry,</i>
<i>over ten miles away.</i>

908
00:56:07,363 --> 00:56:11,517
<i>How are these colossal stones,</i>
<i>some weighting hundreds of tons.</i>

909
00:56:11,664 --> 00:56:12,916
<i>... even get here.</i>

910
00:56:13,267 --> 00:56:17,085
We are talking about a place
4500 meters, over sea level.

911
00:56:17,267 --> 00:56:20,932
that means <i>that there no trees up there,</i>
<i>wich you could use for rollers.</i>

912
00:56:21,032 --> 00:56:24,471
<i>Nothing grows except</i>
<i>a few grasses and bushes.</i>

913
00:56:24,811 --> 00:56:29,009
<i>I have stood in front</i>
<i>of many monuments, however...</i>

914
00:56:29,184 --> 00:56:31,658
<i>Puma Punku takes the crown,</i>

915
00:56:32,094 --> 00:56:36,463
<i>because what we find there,</i>
<i>is so inexplicable,</i>

916
00:56:37,064 --> 00:56:39,203
<i>so inachievable,</i>

917
00:56:39,703 --> 00:56:44,938
that... the question remains:
How is it done and for what purposes?

918
00:56:51,283 --> 00:56:53,585
<i>mainstream archaeologists say...</i>

919
00:56:53,586 --> 00:56:58,274
<i>... that Puma Punku was built</i>
<i>by the Aymara Indians.</i>

920
00:56:58,531 --> 00:57:03,501
<i>and we all have to agree that in order</i>
<i>to built something like Puma Punku,</i>

921
00:57:03,637 --> 00:57:08,972
<i>you need writing, you need planning,</i>
<i>and you need some sort of the... idea,</i>

922
00:57:09,115 --> 00:57:13,455
<i>where... which piece goes</i>
<i>and how ultimately all fit's together.</i>

923
00:57:14,428 --> 00:57:18,754
<i>There is one thing that all the</i>
<i>mainstream archaeologists agree upon,</i>

924
00:57:18,826 --> 00:57:20,084
that the Aymara...

925
00:57:20,327 --> 00:57:21,972
... didn't have any writing.

926
00:57:22,158 --> 00:57:25,377
So how is it possible that
<i>they built all this...</i>

927
00:57:25,577 --> 00:57:27,231
<i>... without plans?</i>

928
00:57:27,303 --> 00:57:29,238
<i>Which is really amazing...</i>

929
00:57:29,381 --> 00:57:35,159
<i>and why the ancient astronauts theorists</i>
<i>are so drawn to Puma Punku and Tiwanaku?</i>

930
00:57:35,338 --> 00:57:41,367
Is the... the quality of the stone work
and the inmense <i>size of these blocks.</i>

931
00:57:41,717 --> 00:57:43,737
<i>Is so incredible...</i>

932
00:57:43,999 --> 00:57:47,888
<i>... and perfect, that is actually</i>
<i>evidence of machining.</i>

933
00:57:48,406 --> 00:57:50,909
<i>and they were using machines tools,</i>

934
00:57:51,052 --> 00:57:52,912
<i>to cut these blocks.</i>

935
00:57:56,970 --> 00:57:59,409
One of the platforms is 800 tons.

936
00:58:00,068 --> 00:58:02,928
<i>and they are so smoothly polished,</i>

937
00:58:03,121 --> 00:58:05,474
<i>Here are some stone, megalithic stones,</i>

938
00:58:05,538 --> 00:58:08,721
<i>with grubs which are a just</i>
<i>few millimeters inside.</i>

939
00:58:08,857 --> 00:58:13,226
<i>Which definitely cannot be made</i>
<i>with stone age chisels.</i>

940
00:58:13,394 --> 00:58:15,475
<i>It doesn't work with</i>
<i>stone age chisels so...</i>

941
00:58:15,658 --> 00:58:17,432
<i>There is another technology guiding.</i>

942
00:58:17,921 --> 00:58:21,154
<i>The lines carved into these rocks</i>
<i>are exactly straight,</i>

943
00:58:21,272 --> 00:58:24,963
<i>and precisely the same depth</i>
<i>from one end to the other.</i>

944
00:58:28,996 --> 00:58:32,829
It's as if only master builders...

945
00:58:33,072 --> 00:58:35,775
<i>were allowed to work there.</i>

946
00:58:36,043 --> 00:58:39,453
<i>because everything is so precise,</i>

947
00:58:39,454 --> 00:58:41,461
<i>everything is so perfect.</i>

948
00:58:41,744 --> 00:58:45,555
<i>You wonder how</i> any of
these was even posible?

949
00:58:53,036 --> 00:58:54,829
<i>One of the most intriguing</i>
<i>things there is...</i>

950
00:58:54,830 --> 00:58:56,629
<i>that the stones that were used there...</i>

951
00:58:56,770 --> 00:58:58,142
<i>... are sand stone.</i>

952
00:58:58,414 --> 00:59:00,874
There are granite and diorite.

953
00:59:04,263 --> 00:59:07,552
<i>The only stone that's</i>
<i>harder than diorite...</i>

954
00:59:07,717 --> 00:59:08,983
<i>... is diamond.</i>

955
00:59:09,276 --> 00:59:11,592
<i>So the only way at this</i>
<i>is gonna been achieve...</i>

956
00:59:11,693 --> 00:59:15,497
<i>... is if the tools</i>
<i>were tipped with diamonds.</i>

957
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:19,240
<i>American professors who were up there</i>
<i>with their computer modern measurements,</i>

958
00:59:19,407 --> 00:59:20,594
<i>they were really shocked.</i>

959
00:59:20,971 --> 00:59:24,167
<i>In their literature they say:</i>
<i>"It is impossible...</i>

960
00:59:24,324 --> 00:59:27,554
<i>to reconstruct Puma Punku,</i>
<i>it's absolutely impossible".</i>

961
00:59:28,441 --> 00:59:30,369
<i>But what is it really difficult to believe</i>

962
00:59:30,370 --> 00:59:34,339
<i>that ancient peoples could it</i>
<i>so precisely carve the stones.</i>

963
00:59:34,439 --> 00:59:37,764
<i>or could build such an incredible</i>
<i>interstructure from them.</i>

964
00:59:40,624 --> 00:59:44,127
If there was ancient astronauts
teaching them this building techniques

965
00:59:44,128 --> 00:59:49,871
why dont we see just <i>perfect almost</i>
<i>skyscraper like vertical edificies?</i>

966
00:59:50,123 --> 00:59:52,240
<i>Everything was all pyramid like?</i>

967
00:59:52,947 --> 00:59:56,334
<i>Stone cutting techniques have</i>
<i>been invented and re-invented</i>

968
00:59:56,335 --> 00:59:59,094
<i>and independently invented</i>
<i>all over the world.</i>

969
00:59:59,316 --> 01:00:03,878
<i>If you think of yourself as a god king</i>
<i>and you want to have a structure built</i>

970
01:00:03,879 --> 01:00:06,231
<i>thats going to last thousands of years...</i>

971
01:00:06,481 --> 01:00:11,502
<i>It's much better to built it out of prefectly
<i>fittin stones without moulder,</i></i>

972
01:00:11,716 --> 01:00:15,470
<i>that degrades and decays</i>
<i>and has to be mantained,</i>

973
01:00:15,725 --> 01:00:18,993
<i>So we see moulderless structures,</i>

974
01:00:18,994 --> 01:00:21,704
<i>megalithics structures</i>
<i>all over the world.</i>

975
01:00:25,842 --> 01:00:27,400
<i>We have an anomaly here.</i>

976
01:00:27,461 --> 01:00:31,681
Where on one hand this people are
supose to be... very primitive,

977
01:00:31,871 --> 01:00:34,517
<i>are they just one step</i>
<i>out the stone age,</i>

978
01:00:34,518 --> 01:00:40,872
<i>yet... what they doing are things</i>
<i>that we couldn't even do today.</i>

979
01:00:40,873 --> 01:00:43,825
<i>... apparently, or we have</i>
<i>extreme difficulty.</i>

980
01:00:44,242 --> 01:00:47,488
<i>And that is building with</i>
<i>this giant block stone...</i>

981
01:00:47,961 --> 01:00:51,544
<i>... perfectly fiting and</i>
<i>together with other blocks...</i>

982
01:00:51,624 --> 01:00:53,405
<i>... interlocking them.</i>

983
01:00:56,712 --> 01:00:59,394
The ancient people of
our time on this planet,

984
01:00:59,962 --> 01:01:04,374
truly saw extrange things,
they witness bizarre events.

985
01:01:06,263 --> 01:01:09,175
<i>But those stories other</i>
<i>than in depictions,</i>

986
01:01:09,176 --> 01:01:10,846
<i>and some artwork</i>
<i>and things like that...</i>

987
01:01:11,448 --> 01:01:14,445
<i>... they're gone, for some</i>
<i>reason they're just gone.</i>

988
01:01:14,683 --> 01:01:16,377
<i>But left behind...</i>

989
01:01:16,613 --> 01:01:18,565
<i>... are incredibly things</i>
<i>that we have,</i>

990
01:01:18,566 --> 01:01:19,865
<i>that make you wonder...</i>

991
01:01:19,866 --> 01:01:22,625
<i>How in the heck were</i>
<i>these things built?</i>

992
01:01:22,961 --> 01:01:25,060
<i>Those are great mysteries,</i>
<i>and I think...</i>

993
01:01:25,230 --> 01:01:27,417
<i>... one of the things</i>
<i>that keeps people...</i>

994
01:01:27,418 --> 01:01:30,020
<i>... just continue into</i>
<i>push for the anwers...</i>

995
01:01:30,402 --> 01:01:32,757
<i>are that fact that these</i>
<i>things are so out there,</i>

996
01:01:33,129 --> 01:01:34,529
<i>that they cant figure it out.</i>

997
01:01:35,418 --> 01:01:37,106
<i>But uncovering the mystery,</i>

998
01:01:37,277 --> 01:01:40,159
<i>of just how these incredible</i>
<i>structures were built...</i>

999
01:01:40,496 --> 01:01:42,806
<i>will only solve one</i>
<i>piece of the puzzle.</i>

1000
01:01:43,214 --> 01:01:47,541
<i>Finding out why they were built</i>
<i>and how they were used,</i>

1001
01:01:47,691 --> 01:01:50,480
<i>poses equally compelling questions...</i>

1002
01:01:50,823 --> 01:01:54,427
<i>questions that might not been</i>
<i> answerable, here on Earth.</i>

1003
01:02:00,793 --> 01:02:06,257
<i>Did aliens really inspired our ancestors</i>
<i>to build ancient temples and pyramids?</i>

1004
01:02:07,165 --> 01:02:08,596
<i>and if they came here,</i>

1005
01:02:08,852 --> 01:02:11,749
<i>did they left behind any</i>
<i>advance knowledge of physics,</i>

1006
01:02:11,906 --> 01:02:13,911
<i>... astronomy or mathematics?</i>

1007
01:02:15,303 --> 01:02:19,165
<i>If so, is there any evidence</i>
<i>that remins to this days?</i>

1008
01:02:20,073 --> 01:02:22,219
<i>One example might be this one.</i>

1009
01:02:22,676 --> 01:02:25,914
<i>Often described as the world's</i>
<i>first mechanical computer,</i>

1010
01:02:26,472 --> 01:02:29,133
<i>it dates back over 2000 years.</i>

1011
01:02:30,129 --> 01:02:36,136
<i>The Antikythera device was</i> found
in 1900 by sponge divers.

1012
01:02:36,328 --> 01:02:40,333
diving off a small island in the Aegean
called the Antikythera.

1013
01:02:41,212 --> 01:02:43,443
<i>There was a ship wreck there, and...</i>

1014
01:02:43,693 --> 01:02:47,576
<i>in it was a coral incrusted box.</i>

1015
01:02:47,959 --> 01:02:50,840
<i>And it was made of metal alloys,</i>

1016
01:02:51,326 --> 01:02:53,511
<i>and it then went to the Athens museum.</i>

1017
01:02:53,601 --> 01:02:59,470
<i>where a good 50 years later,</i>
<i>they were able to X-Ray this box.</i>

1018
01:02:59,691 --> 01:03:01,944
and they were able to discern,

1019
01:03:02,452 --> 01:03:05,386
<i>cog wheels that were interconnected,</i>

1020
01:03:05,865 --> 01:03:10,313
<i>and gave us a very good depiction</i>
<i>of what this thing was.</i>

1021
01:03:10,314 --> 01:03:15,370
<i>and it is a computer,</i>
<i>It's a really sofisticated machine,</i>

1022
01:03:20,167 --> 01:03:23,435
<i>It is a very interesting piece of</i>
<i>technology because it has two purposes.</i>

1023
01:03:23,606 --> 01:03:26,953
One, was an astronomical device,
where you could...

1024
01:03:27,460 --> 01:03:29,653
... by using it chart
the position of the stars

1025
01:03:29,654 --> 01:03:31,375
and navigate your way to the seas.

1026
01:03:31,683 --> 01:03:34,098
<i>it was also an astrological device,</i>

1027
01:03:34,099 --> 01:03:35,430
<i>so that some could tell you,</i>

1028
01:03:35,708 --> 01:03:39,205
<i>oh, if you are born at this date</i>
<i>and your planet side is this,</i>

1029
01:03:39,376 --> 01:03:41,347
<i>then certain things are</i>
<i>going to happend to you</i>

1030
01:03:41,348 --> 01:03:42,995
<i>when the planets were</i>
<i>on this alignement.</i>

1031
01:03:43,252 --> 01:03:45,705
<i>So it's a very interesting</i>
<i>piece of technology,</i>

1032
01:03:45,910 --> 01:03:47,684
<i>that literally had...</i>

1033
01:03:48,406 --> 01:03:50,315
<i>more complicated gears in...</i>

1034
01:03:50,316 --> 01:03:52,842
<i>inner workings than a</i>
<i>modern day Swiss watch.</i>

1035
01:03:53,049 --> 01:03:56,043
<i>And it's found to be dated</i>
<i>I think like 200 B.C.</i>

1036
01:03:56,143 --> 01:03:58,063
<i>So it's really an anomaly as to...</i>

1037
01:03:58,385 --> 01:04:01,173
<i>Who could create that</i>
<i>and what it's been used for?</i>

1038
01:04:04,855 --> 01:04:09,554
When archaeologists first start
examining this thing at the 1950s...

1039
01:04:09,797 --> 01:04:11,896
... they said <i>that they</i>
<i>never could conceived</i>

1040
01:04:12,110 --> 01:04:16,197
<i>of the ancient greeks having</i>
<i>such complicated machinery.</i>

1041
01:04:16,347 --> 01:04:17,288
<i>And in fact they said...</i>

1042
01:04:17,473 --> 01:04:20,305
<i>this was * out to finding</i>
<i>a jet airplane...</i>

1043
01:04:20,421 --> 01:04:21,589
<i>... in the tomb of King Tut.</i>

1044
01:04:33,137 --> 01:04:35,777
<i>Even older than the</i>
<i>Antikythera mechanism...</i>

1045
01:04:36,292 --> 01:04:38,065
<i>are these carvings on a wall...</i>

1046
01:04:38,066 --> 01:04:40,711
<i>at the Dendera temple</i>
<i>complex in Egypt...</i>

1047
01:04:41,769 --> 01:04:42,628
<i>to some...</i>

1048
01:04:43,035 --> 01:04:48,521
<i>the strange designs look early similar</i>
<i>to objects very much in use today.</i>

1049
01:04:49,220 --> 01:04:53,555
In Egypt, there it's this
underground crypt, at Dendera,

1050
01:04:53,556 --> 01:04:57,683
that was always secret
and only the higher priests,

1051
01:04:57,849 --> 01:05:00,197
had access to that crypt.

1052
01:05:00,771 --> 01:05:02,301
<i>It's very hot in there,</i>

1053
01:05:02,302 --> 01:05:04,190
<i>very narrow low ceiling,</i>

1054
01:05:04,537 --> 01:05:07,508
<i>and on the walls,</i>
<i>you have this relieves...</i>

1055
01:05:07,824 --> 01:05:10,033
<i>of what looks like...</i>

1056
01:05:10,548 --> 01:05:12,621
<i>... ancient light bulbs.</i>

1057
01:05:13,049 --> 01:05:16,532
<i>Because we have to question one thing...</i>

1058
01:05:16,772 --> 01:05:18,745
How did the ancient Egyptians...

1059
01:05:18,930 --> 01:05:21,457
light the inside of their tombs?

1060
01:05:25,051 --> 01:05:27,735
<i>According to most</i>
<i>mainstream archaeologists...</i>

1061
01:05:27,875 --> 01:05:30,445
<i>torches were used by</i>
<i>the ancient Egyptians.</i>

1062
01:05:30,578 --> 01:05:33,745
<i>to light the pitch black chambers</i>
<i>of tombs and temples.</i>

1063
01:05:34,505 --> 01:05:36,214
<i>Yet nowhere on the ceilings</i>

1064
01:05:36,314 --> 01:05:39,922
<i>is there even slightest evidence</i>
<i>of * or smoke residue.</i>

1065
01:05:41,896 --> 01:05:43,734
<i>But if torches weren't used,</i>

1066
01:05:43,970 --> 01:05:47,804
<i>How else could this ancient rooms</i>
<i>and hallways have been illuminated?</i>

1067
01:05:53,245 --> 01:05:55,175
Another theory that was proposed,

1068
01:05:55,436 --> 01:05:59,523
<i>It's that the light was directed</i>
<i>from outside by copper mirrors.</i>

1069
01:05:59,551 --> 01:06:02,798
"And then there was... light".

1070
01:06:04,391 --> 01:06:06,343
"Hey, that it's a neat trick".

1071
01:06:06,637 --> 01:06:08,880
And then I tryied to
recreate that theory,

1072
01:06:08,881 --> 01:06:14,185
but unfortunately <i>I failed</i>
<i>because only after a few corners,</i>

1073
01:06:14,389 --> 01:06:16,448
<i>the sunlight dissapeared because...</i>

1074
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:18,987
<i>the copper mirrors were too weak.</i>

1075
01:06:22,374 --> 01:06:28,589
Also, there isn't enough oxygen
inside those tombs,

1076
01:06:28,590 --> 01:06:33,090
with which to support or
feed a flame of the torch.

1077
01:06:33,576 --> 01:06:38,884
<i>I was once inside the King's Chamber,</i>
<i>inside the Pyramid at Gizah.</i>

1078
01:06:39,282 --> 01:06:42,331
<i>and somebody turn off</i>
<i>the lights and immediatly,</i>

1079
01:06:42,623 --> 01:06:44,404
<i>we were in pitch darkness.</i>

1080
01:06:44,568 --> 01:06:45,833
And I said: No problem,

1081
01:06:45,970 --> 01:06:48,151
I'll just take out
my lighter from my satchel...

1082
01:06:48,316 --> 01:06:49,572
and I turned on the lighter...

1083
01:06:50,137 --> 01:06:51,486
... and it didn't worked.

1084
01:06:52,497 --> 01:06:55,086
<i>So, how were the inside</i>
<i>of these temples lit?</i>

1085
01:06:55,390 --> 01:07:01,820
<i>I mean, the only remaining solution is</i>
<i>by some sort of artificial light source.</i>

1086
01:07:02,406 --> 01:07:06,661
<i>And that is, for example a light bulb.</i>

1087
01:07:06,904 --> 01:07:10,334
<i>So, at the underground crypt at Dendera,</i>

1088
01:07:10,885 --> 01:07:14,010
<i>we find relieves of such light bulbs.</i>

1089
01:07:16,898 --> 01:07:19,823
<i>Egyptologists explanation of this...</i>

1090
01:07:20,252 --> 01:07:23,074
<i>and they have to have some explanation,</i>
<i>theres got to be one...</i>

1091
01:07:23,453 --> 01:07:26,764
Has to be pretty mundane, it cant
be that an electrical device.

1092
01:07:26,928 --> 01:07:28,853
Their explanation is that...

1093
01:07:29,075 --> 01:07:30,319
it is...

1094
01:07:30,469 --> 01:07:31,806
... a lotus flower.

1095
01:07:32,768 --> 01:07:34,891
... and what appears to be...

1096
01:07:35,256 --> 01:07:37,756
... a bulb ballon is the aroma...

1097
01:07:38,287 --> 01:07:39,181
<i>... of the lotus flower.</i>

1098
01:07:40,017 --> 01:07:43,414
<i>And so it's just a very</i>
<i>odd depiction of... a flower.</i>

1099
01:07:43,535 --> 01:07:45,630
<i>But another explanation</i>
<i>of course would be...</i>

1100
01:07:45,795 --> 01:07:47,826
they actually had electrical lights.

1101
01:07:50,106 --> 01:07:53,860
<i>But if the ancient Egyptians</i>
<i>had use some kind of electric light,</i>

1102
01:07:53,875 --> 01:07:55,666
<i>to illuminate their passage ways,</i>

1103
01:07:55,667 --> 01:07:57,949
<i>why is the visual evidence exists</i>

1104
01:07:57,950 --> 01:08:00,147
<i>only at the temple of Dendera?</i>

1105
01:08:00,290 --> 01:08:02,857
In Egypt you have different areas...

1106
01:08:03,222 --> 01:08:04,738
... of specialty,

1107
01:08:04,901 --> 01:08:08,773
And Dendera... was the... area...

1108
01:08:08,916 --> 01:08:13,329
... where the knowledge
of the light giving source...

1109
01:08:13,536 --> 01:08:14,648
... was kept.

1110
01:08:14,884 --> 01:08:19,542
<i>And this secret knowledge,</i>
<i>was kept by the high priests.</i>

1111
01:08:19,782 --> 01:08:24,864
<i>and they're the only ones who</i>
<i>* to this type of information.</i>

1112
01:08:25,285 --> 01:08:29,529
<i>Because Dendera was</i>
<i>"The Special Place",</i>

1113
01:08:30,001 --> 01:08:34,847
<i>where this specific knowledge</i>
<i>was guarded and kept.</i>

1114
01:08:35,944 --> 01:08:37,523
Scientific community is not saying,

1115
01:08:37,524 --> 01:08:40,122
"Oh, there are not extraterrestrials,
or they never did it."

1116
01:08:40,520 --> 01:08:43,653
They are judging whether or not
this is a valid scientific theory,

1117
01:08:43,654 --> 01:08:44,774
and would that mean by that.

1118
01:08:45,046 --> 01:08:47,061
<i>For something to be a scientific theory</i>

1119
01:08:47,175 --> 01:08:49,120
<i>it really needs to be</i>
<i>something you can test</i>

1120
01:08:49,121 --> 01:08:50,724
<i>with the obvious experiment.</i>

1121
01:08:51,079 --> 01:08:52,957
<i>How did could ancient Egyptians</i>

1122
01:08:53,036 --> 01:08:55,992
<i>have use anything resembling</i>
<i>a modern day light bulb?</i>

1123
01:08:56,171 --> 01:08:58,119
<i>without access to electricity?</i>

1124
01:08:58,524 --> 01:08:59,263
<i>After all,</i>

1125
01:08:59,480 --> 01:09:00,431
<i>electricity...</i>

1126
01:09:00,503 --> 01:09:02,937
<i>wouldn't be discovered</i>
<i>for thousands of years.</i>

1127
01:09:03,409 --> 01:09:04,599
<i>That is of course...</i>

1128
01:09:04,842 --> 01:09:07,009
<i>... with the exception</i>
<i>of what scientists call...</i>

1129
01:09:07,149 --> 01:09:08,729
<i>... the Baghdad battery.</i>

1130
01:09:09,151 --> 01:09:12,212
<i>The Baghdad battery was</i>
<i>discovered in Ancient Iraq.</i>

1131
01:09:12,362 --> 01:09:14,556
scholars todays say: "Theres no way...

1132
01:09:14,557 --> 01:09:17,482
... that ancient man was using
electricity or light bulbs",

1133
01:09:17,812 --> 01:09:19,506
So they look at this Baghdad battery

1134
01:09:19,507 --> 01:09:20,843
<i>and those * dozen of them that</i>

1135
01:09:20,844 --> 01:09:21,853
<i>and found in Iraq.</i>

1136
01:09:22,246 --> 01:09:23,818
<i>And the only mainstream theory</i>

1137
01:09:23,819 --> 01:09:26,129
<i>is that they were using it</i>
<i>for electroplating jewelry.</i>

1138
01:09:27,123 --> 01:09:30,319
<i>Two mayor proponents</i>
<i>of ancient aliens theory,</i>

1139
01:09:30,644 --> 01:09:33,700
<i>Jason Martel and Giorgio Tsoukalos,</i>

1140
01:09:34,037 --> 01:09:38,428
<i>demonstrated just how the Baghdad</i>
<i>battery could generate electricity.</i>

1141
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,260
<i>using a modern mock up of the device.</i>

1142
01:09:41,553 --> 01:09:44,084
Well basically this is
made of a clay pod,

1143
01:09:44,085 --> 01:09:46,660
<i>clays just found naturally</i>
<i>in origin in southern Iraq.</i>

1144
01:09:46,917 --> 01:09:49,734
<i>And then we use a small copper lining,</i>

1145
01:09:49,977 --> 01:09:54,541
<i>and something along lines at the</i>
<i>asfalt stopper rather at the iron rod.</i>

1146
01:09:54,648 --> 01:09:56,730
and this all apply together.

1147
01:09:56,902 --> 01:09:59,308
An a combination of
some weak acid *

1148
01:09:59,351 --> 01:10:02,447
vinegar, grape juice, orange
juice in this case, wine...

1149
01:10:02,676 --> 01:10:04,430
would be able to generate a charge,

1150
01:10:04,431 --> 01:10:06,118
by combining these
elements with the rod

1151
01:10:06,119 --> 01:10:07,741
and the iron rod and the copper

1152
01:10:07,913 --> 01:10:11,098
and the combination of that
creates an abundance of electricity.

1153
01:10:11,338 --> 01:10:15,331
<i>So, what we gonna do is</i>
<i>basically just fill the clay pot</i>

1154
01:10:15,332 --> 01:10:17,375
with some orange juice
just dont try to * too much

1155
01:10:17,504 --> 01:10:17,998
Right...

1156
01:10:18,620 --> 01:10:22,246
and then go to cover the rod back
in there, the copper and iron rod

1157
01:10:22,444 --> 01:10:25,466
<i>Will give it a moment to kind</i>
<i>of fill that... copper area there.</i>

1158
01:10:25,723 --> 01:10:27,199
And then by turning on the voltmeter...

1159
01:10:28,007 --> 01:10:30,528
... and applying this to each side,

1160
01:10:30,943 --> 01:10:32,648
and should read the generated charge.

1161
01:10:35,071 --> 01:10:37,270
And here it goes, into the positives.

1162
01:10:39,969 --> 01:10:43,020
<i>If you give it some time</i>
<i>to get the electrolytes</i>

1163
01:10:43,192 --> 01:10:46,253
really buzzing in there you sit at
this volt watch it'll continue to rise

1164
01:10:47,006 --> 01:10:49,437
<i>But while some see the Baghdad battery</i>

1165
01:10:49,623 --> 01:10:53,671
<i>as evidence that man was spark on</i>
<i>by extraterrestrial wisdom,</i>

1166
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:57,036
<i>others look at it and simply say:</i>
<i>"So what?"</i>

1167
01:10:57,586 --> 01:11:01,666
You can take some ancient technology
like the Baghdad battery

1168
01:11:01,898 --> 01:11:04,887
which probably was used for
something like metal plating

1169
01:11:05,161 --> 01:11:08,308
and wich you just mix chemicals
and enhance the chemical reactions

1170
01:11:08,309 --> 01:11:10,647
to they were using for this reason,

1171
01:11:11,159 --> 01:11:12,803
and we can take and put a voltmeter

1172
01:11:12,804 --> 01:11:14,724
and go "Oh look, we're able
to get a reading out of it!"

1173
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:15,908
Well... so what?

1174
01:11:17,249 --> 01:11:18,758
Thats just a chemical reaction.

1175
01:11:18,970 --> 01:11:23,818
If they were using, let say... these
battery to operate other machines

1176
01:11:23,904 --> 01:11:25,499
<i>Where are the other machines?</i>

1177
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,252
<i>If they were sending</i>
<i>the electricity down wires,</i>

1178
01:11:28,253 --> 01:11:31,173
<i>where are all the wires that would</i>
<i>it been all over the culture.</i>

1179
01:11:31,844 --> 01:11:34,839
<i>In other words, that why the...</i>
<i>a one of a invention like that</i>

1180
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:36,167
<i>is going to survive...</i>

1181
01:11:36,168 --> 01:11:40,184
<i>without all the other inventions</i>
<i>what have been there at the same time?</i>

1182
01:11:40,964 --> 01:11:43,345
It is a battery, everybody
agrees with that,

1183
01:11:43,588 --> 01:11:45,484
but nobody knows why they made it.

1184
01:11:45,706 --> 01:11:48,673
And how they made it,
what mind would think of that.

1185
01:11:49,210 --> 01:11:53,271
<i>You know, electrical current</i>
<i>that 7000 years ago.</i>

1186
01:11:53,686 --> 01:11:55,960
<i>It's very strange,</i>
<i>but is clearly a battery.</i>

1187
01:11:56,897 --> 01:11:59,460
<i>The whole idea that</i>
<i>ancients civilizations</i>

1188
01:11:59,461 --> 01:12:03,183
<i>actually had knowledge of</i>
<i>electricity and used electricity</i>

1189
01:12:03,326 --> 01:12:06,115
It's an accepted archaeological fact today.

1190
01:12:06,415 --> 01:12:11,357
<i>Just like in our... own civilization</i>
<i>where about 200 years ago,</i>

1191
01:12:11,486 --> 01:12:14,890
<i>Benjamin Franklin and others</i>
<i>scientists began experimenting with</i>

1192
01:12:15,119 --> 01:12:17,070
<i>simple electrical devices,</i>

1193
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:18,693
<i>We know have evidence...</i>

1194
01:12:18,833 --> 01:12:19,490
<i>... that...</i>

1195
01:12:19,926 --> 01:12:21,524
<i>... over 3000 years ago,</i>

1196
01:12:21,682 --> 01:12:24,909
<i>people were also experimenting</i>
<i>with electrical devices.</i>

1197
01:12:25,281 --> 01:12:26,899
<i>Where may they have left them?</i>

1198
01:12:27,107 --> 01:12:30,282
<i>What other electrical devices</i>
<i>were they been enable to create?</i>

1199
01:12:33,140 --> 01:12:36,880
I believe that probably created
all kinds of electrical devices.

1200
01:12:38,451 --> 01:12:39,301
<i>Tombs,</i>

1201
01:12:39,666 --> 01:12:40,467
<i>temples,</i>

1202
01:12:40,846 --> 01:12:42,162
<i>ancient light bulbs,</i>

1203
01:12:42,433 --> 01:12:43,914
<i>even electricity.</i>

1204
01:12:44,755 --> 01:12:46,661
<i>Here on Earth exists evidence</i>

1205
01:12:46,662 --> 01:12:49,314
<i>of architectural and</i>
<i>technological wonders,</i>

1206
01:12:49,647 --> 01:12:52,429
<i>centuries before we ever</i>
<i>believe them posible.</i>

1207
01:12:53,352 --> 01:12:56,949
<i>but if evidence of ancient astronauts</i>
<i>exists here on Earth,</i>

1208
01:12:57,571 --> 01:12:59,130
<i>What about elsewhere?</i>

1209
01:12:59,845 --> 01:13:01,841
<i>Might we find what we are looking for...</i>

1210
01:13:02,163 --> 01:13:03,026
<i>... by looking...</i>

1211
01:13:03,212 --> 01:13:04,343
<i>... in the sky.</i>

1212
01:13:10,735 --> 01:13:14,618
<i>Here at the ancient city</i>
<i>of Teotihuacan in Mexico,</i>

1213
01:13:14,912 --> 01:13:16,266
<i>evidence suggests...</i>

1214
01:13:16,267 --> 01:13:20,091
<i>that ancient cultures possesed</i>
<i>an incredibly accurate knowledge,</i>

1215
01:13:20,092 --> 01:13:21,599
<i>about neighboring planets.</i>

1216
01:13:23,508 --> 01:13:26,532
<i>Some scholars have even</i>
<i>interpreted the number</i>

1217
01:13:26,533 --> 01:13:28,543
<i>and orientation of these pyramids,</i>

1218
01:13:28,686 --> 01:13:30,573
<i>to perfectly reflect a model...</i>

1219
01:13:30,659 --> 01:13:32,404
<i>... of our solar system.</i>

1220
01:13:34,768 --> 01:13:38,816
<i>Along the "Avenida de los muertos",</i>
The "Avenue of the Dead".

1221
01:13:39,416 --> 01:13:43,925
The pyramids there
align in perfect distance...

1222
01:13:44,182 --> 01:13:46,352
<i>of each of the orbit's...</i>

1223
01:13:46,353 --> 01:13:50,054
<i>of our planets in our solar system.</i>

1224
01:13:55,338 --> 01:13:59,471
<i>Perhaps significat is the fact</i>
<i>that the large Pyramid of the Sun...</i>

1225
01:13:59,643 --> 01:14:02,597
<i>It's positioned at the center</i>
<i>of the other structures.</i>

1226
01:14:03,176 --> 01:14:04,476
<i>Reflecting the fact...</i>

1227
01:14:04,527 --> 01:14:07,624
<i>... that the Sun is at the center</i>
<i>of our solar system,</i>

1228
01:14:07,825 --> 01:14:10,206
<i>... and that the planets,</i>
<i> revolve around it.</i>

1229
01:14:11,658 --> 01:14:13,866
It was a known fact back then already,

1230
01:14:14,023 --> 01:14:17,491
that the Sun was at the center
of our solar system,

1231
01:14:17,748 --> 01:14:23,770
wich "Western science" didn't find out
until much, much later.

1232
01:14:26,926 --> 01:14:32,201
<i>But just how could Teotihuacan's</i>
<i>designers had known so early on...</i>

1233
01:14:32,299 --> 01:14:36,343
<i>... that the planets of our solar system,</i>
<i>revolve around the sun?</i>

1234
01:14:37,913 --> 01:14:39,019
Didn't that take...

1235
01:14:39,126 --> 01:14:41,938
<i>many more centuries</i>
<i>of scientific progress...</i>

1236
01:14:42,038 --> 01:14:44,285
<i>... and investigacion to figure out?</i>

1237
01:14:45,529 --> 01:14:47,194
Interestingly enough...

1238
01:14:47,788 --> 01:14:49,247
... debunkers will say:

1239
01:14:49,369 --> 01:14:51,375
"Oh, this is just coincidence".

1240
01:14:51,643 --> 01:14:54,532
That this pyramids are aligned...

1241
01:14:54,782 --> 01:14:57,368
with the planets of our solar system.

1242
01:14:57,647 --> 01:15:00,882
<i>But, if we go on the other</i>
<i>side of the planet,</i>

1243
01:15:01,077 --> 01:15:04,853
<i>to Stonehenge, we have</i>
<i>another ancient site</i>

1244
01:15:05,060 --> 01:15:07,763
<i>which is way older by the way</i>
<i>than Teotihuacan.</i>

1245
01:15:09,035 --> 01:15:13,605
<i>Where if you look at Stonehenge</i>
<i>from a bird's eye view,</i>

1246
01:15:14,062 --> 01:15:17,617
<i>You see that these are all</i>
<i>concentric circles,</i>

1247
01:15:18,268 --> 01:15:22,279
<i>and each of these circles</i>
<i>corresponds exactly...</i>

1248
01:15:22,780 --> 01:15:26,673
<i>... with the orbit</i>
<i>of all of our planets...</i>

1249
01:15:26,859 --> 01:15:28,579
<i>...in our solar system.</i>

1250
01:15:29,174 --> 01:15:33,817
So we have two places on Earth
where we have the same thing.

1251
01:15:37,855 --> 01:15:42,947
<i>In recent years, Stonehenge has also</i>
<i>been interpreted by some archaeologists</i>

1252
01:15:43,105 --> 01:15:45,672
<i>to be a kind of astronomical calendar,</i>

1253
01:15:46,194 --> 01:15:50,309
<i>one which could be used to calculate</i>
<i>advance, such as solar eclipses.</i>

1254
01:15:50,495 --> 01:15:52,497
<i>But if that were true,</i>

1255
01:15:52,783 --> 01:15:56,731
<i>whoever aligned these massive stones</i>
<i>on the bare english landscape,</i>

1256
01:15:57,239 --> 01:16:01,729
<i>would have to effect precise astronomical</i>
<i>knowledge of the path of the sun.</i>

1257
01:16:11,247 --> 01:16:13,907
<i>Built between the seventh</i>
<i>and ninth centuries,</i>

1258
01:16:14,158 --> 01:16:16,142
<i>the stone temples of Tikal,</i>

1259
01:16:16,356 --> 01:16:20,051
<i>toward more than 2500 ft</i>
<i>of Guatemala rain forest.</i>

1260
01:16:21,774 --> 01:16:26,365
<i>Tikal is home to one of the largest</i>
<i>excavation sites in the world,</i>

1261
01:16:26,515 --> 01:16:30,720
<i>when with thousands of structures,</i>
<i>still remains buried beneath the jungle.</i>

1262
01:16:30,977 --> 01:16:35,625
<i>According to most scientists, Tikal's</i>
<i>Pyramids played an essential part...</i>

1263
01:16:35,754 --> 01:16:38,196
<i>in helping the Mayans</i>
<i>advice their calendar.</i>

1264
01:16:40,928 --> 01:16:44,626
<i>by aligning the side lines between</i>
<i>the highest points of the structures</i>

1265
01:16:45,048 --> 01:16:48,995
<i>ancient astronomers could pinpoint</i>
<i>the most important days of the year.</i>

1266
01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:51,372
<i>such as an upcoming equinox...</i>

1267
01:16:51,373 --> 01:16:52,436
<i>... or solstice.</i>

1268
01:16:55,225 --> 01:16:59,072
<i>But, what also excites</i>
<i>ancient astronaut theorists...</i>

1269
01:16:59,432 --> 01:17:02,736
<i>is how prefectly the layout</i>
<i>of Tikal's pyramids...</i>

1270
01:17:02,855 --> 01:17:07,238
<i>correlate to the star map of the</i>
<i>Pleyiades Orion region of the sky.</i>

1271
01:17:08,179 --> 01:17:10,209
<i>An overhead view of the structures,</i>

1272
01:17:10,373 --> 01:17:14,011
<i>almost exactly mirrors</i>
<i>the alignement of the constellation.</i>

1273
01:17:15,163 --> 01:17:18,627
<i>This same outline has</i>
<i>been spotted in an area...</i>

1274
01:17:18,820 --> 01:17:20,264
<i>far from Tikal...</i>

1275
01:17:20,265 --> 01:17:21,287
much...

1276
01:17:21,288 --> 01:17:22,736
... much further.

1277
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,498
<i>Recently discovered on the Mars...</i>

1278
01:17:25,741 --> 01:17:30,104
<i>It's a cluster of land forms that</i>
<i>offers a near perfect replication,</i>

1279
01:17:30,269 --> 01:17:32,470
<i>of the pyramid pattern of Tikal</i>.

1280
01:17:33,028 --> 01:17:35,455
<i>Three distinct locations,</i>

1281
01:17:35,456 --> 01:17:37,640
<i>one unique pattern.</i>

1282
01:17:39,034 --> 01:17:40,185
<i>Coincidence...</i>

1283
01:17:40,420 --> 01:17:41,497
<i>... or design?</i>

1284
01:17:44,715 --> 01:17:49,366
<i>At Tikal, the legends and</i>
<i>the mythologies that we have,</i>

1285
01:17:49,610 --> 01:17:52,114
<i>all speak of the time...</i>

1286
01:17:52,579 --> 01:17:58,850
<i>when the gods inter* and</i>
<i>interconnected with our ancestors.</i>

1287
01:17:59,232 --> 01:18:02,164
<i>So Tikal also was built...</i>

1288
01:18:03,151 --> 01:18:06,993
<i>... as a message for future</i>
<i>generations to see...</i>

1289
01:18:07,296 --> 01:18:09,081
<i>... that a long, long time ago,</i>

1290
01:18:09,460 --> 01:18:12,652
<i>we were visited by extraterrestrials.</i>

1291
01:18:12,952 --> 01:18:16,829
Someone who have seen this have to
actually relay the information to them

1292
01:18:16,830 --> 01:18:18,837
because they couldn't just guess, so...

1293
01:18:19,123 --> 01:18:21,089
I really start to rise
a question the same,

1294
01:18:21,260 --> 01:18:25,402
<i>This ancient astronaut theory really</i>
<i>needs to have more life shed on the topic.</i>

1295
01:18:30,179 --> 01:18:33,441
It's certanly possible that
the ancient people not only measure

1296
01:18:34,091 --> 01:18:36,252
all of this... astronomy events

1297
01:18:36,256 --> 01:18:38,638
but we <i>able to come up with</i>
<i>a math mathematical theory.</i>

1298
01:18:38,890 --> 01:18:39,992
<i>To put in together,</i>

1299
01:18:40,312 --> 01:18:42,414
<i>and then to predict new things.</i>

1300
01:18:43,043 --> 01:18:45,782
<i>They shouldn't think that</i>
<i>the ancient people were dummies.</i>

1301
01:18:46,991 --> 01:18:52,304
Early man, people on ancient times
didn't have dashboard mounted GPS unit's.

1302
01:18:53,899 --> 01:18:55,098
<i>They had those...</i>

1303
01:18:55,205 --> 01:18:57,658
"Path of the sun thru the sky",

1304
01:18:57,780 --> 01:19:00,328
<i>"The path of the moon thru the sky",</i>

1305
01:19:00,450 --> 01:19:02,682
<i>They could see the stars at night,</i>

1306
01:19:02,913 --> 01:19:06,768
<i>these were prominent fictures</i>
<i>that they could navigate from,</i>

1307
01:19:06,912 --> 01:19:09,346
<i>so, it's not surprising at all,</i>

1308
01:19:09,411 --> 01:19:11,689
<i>that almost every culture,</i>

1309
01:19:12,005 --> 01:19:15,101
<i>recorded astronomical phenomena,</i>

1310
01:19:15,610 --> 01:19:18,047
<i>We never look up at the sky</i>
<i>and enjoy the beauty of it.</i>

1311
01:19:18,489 --> 01:19:20,119
Ancient people didn't have electricity,

1312
01:19:20,191 --> 01:19:23,441
the sky would be so dark
and the stars would be so bright.

1313
01:19:24,085 --> 01:19:25,972
<i>Not only that, but they relied on the sky.</i>

1314
01:19:26,035 --> 01:19:27,443
<i>for directions...</i>

1315
01:19:27,593 --> 01:19:30,079
<i>for seasons on which to plant,</i>

1316
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:32,276
<i>and for variety of things.</i>

1317
01:19:32,740 --> 01:19:37,139
<i>Today, with our GPS unit's,</i>
<i>and navigation systems...</i>

1318
01:19:37,638 --> 01:19:39,938
<i>... and computers,</i>
<i>we don't need to look at the sky.</i>

1319
01:19:41,843 --> 01:19:44,680
<i>I want to be very clear about one thing...</i>

1320
01:19:44,681 --> 01:19:49,468
<i>That our ancestors were</i>
<i>as smart as we are today.</i>

1321
01:19:49,897 --> 01:19:50,987
<i>However, ...</i>

1322
01:19:50,988 --> 01:19:55,040
<i>I don't believe that ancient astronauts</i>
<i>visited the Earth on the remote past.</i>

1323
01:19:55,217 --> 01:19:56,779
<i>I am convinced of this,</i>

1324
01:19:57,197 --> 01:20:00,600
<i>because of all the countless indications,</i>

1325
01:20:00,678 --> 01:20:05,220
<i>and pieces of evidence that</i>
<i>we can find from all around the world,</i>

1326
01:20:05,305 --> 01:20:07,379
<i>in different ancient cultures,</i>

1327
01:20:07,451 --> 01:20:09,847
<i>in different mythologies and legends...</i>

1328
01:20:10,126 --> 01:20:15,726
<i>I know it happened, because</i>
<i>if you look at all the pieces,</i>

1329
01:20:16,183 --> 01:20:19,465
It's the only conclusion
that you can draw.

1330
01:20:21,239 --> 01:20:22,486
<i>But just why...</i>

1331
01:20:22,568 --> 01:20:25,148
<i>... were ancient people</i>
<i>so focused on the sky...</i>

1332
01:20:25,149 --> 01:20:27,411
<i>... and the stars,</i>
<i>in the first place?</i>

1333
01:20:28,461 --> 01:20:30,535
<i>Were they waiting</i>
<i>for something to happened?</i>

1334
01:20:31,035 --> 01:20:32,110
<i>Or perhaps...</i>

1335
01:20:32,332 --> 01:20:33,236
<i>... for something,</i>

1336
01:20:33,601 --> 01:20:34,738
<i>... or someone,</i>

1337
01:20:34,903 --> 01:20:36,015
<i>... to return?</i>

1338
01:20:44,865 --> 01:20:46,910
<i>Four decades may be passed,</i>

1339
01:20:47,225 --> 01:20:50,318
<i>but ideas put for,</i>
<i>by Erik Von Däniken,</i>

1340
01:20:50,425 --> 01:20:52,660
<i>are still captivating his followers.</i>

1341
01:20:52,802 --> 01:20:54,610
<i>and frustrating the skeptics...</i>

1342
01:20:54,611 --> 01:20:55,592
<i>... to this day.</i>

1343
01:20:56,450 --> 01:20:59,811
<i>Like an Old Testament prophet,</i>
<i>or ancient shaman,</i>

1344
01:20:59,963 --> 01:21:04,334
<i>the author is still out here,</i>
<i>spreading his firmly health message.</i>

1345
01:21:04,495 --> 01:21:06,203
<i>that "We are not alone."</i>

1346
01:21:06,274 --> 01:21:09,326
The stone age people
couldn't have drawn a straight line

1347
01:21:09,412 --> 01:21:12,361
through the mountains ranges
for thousands of lines.

1348
01:21:12,576 --> 01:21:16,142
And our Stone Age
friends did not arrange

1349
01:21:16,143 --> 01:21:18,265
thousands of stones
in geometrical shapes.

1350
01:21:18,672 --> 01:21:20,379
Someone had to
have directed this.

1351
01:21:20,808 --> 01:21:24,706
<i>But while the proof of Von Däniken's</i>
<i> theories maybe debatable,</i>

1352
01:21:25,099 --> 01:21:26,965
<i>their influence on movies,</i>

1353
01:21:28,217 --> 01:21:29,390
<i>TV series,</i>

1354
01:21:30,784 --> 01:21:32,671
<i>and even radio programs...</i>

1355
01:21:32,822 --> 01:21:34,002
<i>... is undeniable.</i>

1356
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:39,085
<i>It's a tremendous lightning rod for</i>
<i>fiction and for fictional story-telling.</i>

1357
01:21:40,030 --> 01:21:43,595
<i>The classic "Battlestar Galactica" serie</i>
<i>start with a narration that said:</i>

1358
01:21:43,720 --> 01:21:46,177
<i>"There are those who believe</i>
<i>that life here began out there</i>

1359
01:21:46,178 --> 01:21:48,617
<i>with tribes of humans</i>
<i>far across the universe,</i>

1360
01:21:48,618 --> 01:21:49,738
<i>who may have been</i>
<i>the forefathers</i>

1361
01:21:49,739 --> 01:21:50,471
<i>of the Egyptians,</i>

1362
01:21:50,472 --> 01:21:51,162
<i>and the Toltecs,</i>

1363
01:21:51,163 --> 01:21:51,733
<i>and the Mayans.</i>

1364
01:21:51,734 --> 01:21:55,227
<i>You know thats, straight out of Von Däniken</i>
<i>as in that kind of believe, you know.</i>

1365
01:21:56,095 --> 01:21:59,127
<i>Puts us in contact with an idea</i>
<i>of mythological intelligence,</i>

1366
01:21:59,128 --> 01:22:02,895
<i>and that is one of the things as we</i>
<i>as humans beings</i> crave desperately.

1367
01:22:02,896 --> 01:22:04,854
is that we are not
alone in the world,

1368
01:22:04,855 --> 01:22:07,401
and that somebody else out there
are they looking after us.

1369
01:22:07,481 --> 01:22:10,422
<i>or coming to fight for us in that</i>
<i>we unite against a common enemy.</i>

1370
01:22:15,964 --> 01:22:19,120
<i>I was reading lot of books</i>
<i>from Erik Von Däniken,</i>

1371
01:22:19,485 --> 01:22:20,329
<i>and...</i>

1372
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:25,663
I can't imagine thats the true what he
<i>wrote in his books and so...</i>

1373
01:22:25,750 --> 01:22:28,009
<i>I can imagine this that we had</i>

1374
01:22:28,248 --> 01:22:29,954
<i>help of aliens,</i>

1375
01:22:30,093 --> 01:22:30,665
<i>but...</i>

1376
01:22:30,992 --> 01:22:33,075
I don't know, I'm not sure.

1377
01:22:34,311 --> 01:22:36,377
<i>We know so much in this world</i>

1378
01:22:36,639 --> 01:22:38,105
<i>and what we do now is so limited,</i>

1379
01:22:38,106 --> 01:22:39,652
<i>and everyday we finding more.</i>

1380
01:22:39,653 --> 01:22:43,358
It... requires ask more questions
and bigger questions and think bigger,

1381
01:22:44,248 --> 01:22:47,024
<i>Its fast* something</i>
<i>found on other planet</i>

1382
01:22:47,025 --> 01:22:50,562
<i>came to another lifeform,</i>
<i>intelligent lifeform came in</i>

1383
01:22:50,684 --> 01:22:51,156
<i>... to this.</i>

1384
01:22:53,723 --> 01:22:55,585
<i>I mean, who knows, it could be,</i>

1385
01:22:55,586 --> 01:22:59,537
<i>because the origins of many</i>
<i>things are lost</i> in antiquety,

1386
01:22:59,652 --> 01:23:02,390
all we have are roundups
and shreds of evidence

1387
01:23:02,391 --> 01:23:04,228
to suggest what might it happened.

1388
01:23:05,462 --> 01:23:07,892
<i>Someone told me that</i>
<i>it was proven that aliens...</i>

1389
01:23:07,955 --> 01:23:10,551
... had part in this,
I wouldnt be that surprised.

1390
01:23:11,588 --> 01:23:12,203
Why not?

1391
01:23:14,517 --> 01:23:20,323
<i>To be honest, ancient astronauts theory</i>
<i>has never crop of an discussion...</i>

1392
01:23:20,324 --> 01:23:21,772
... with my collegues.

1393
01:23:21,933 --> 01:23:25,258
I don't care how many paints
in too it with been,

1394
01:23:25,259 --> 01:23:28,374
we have never discussed
ancient astronaut theory.

1395
01:23:28,579 --> 01:23:30,818
<i>in any credible way whatsoever.</i>

1396
01:23:31,829 --> 01:23:34,633
<i>One of the good things about</i>
<i>the ancient astronaut theory,</i>

1397
01:23:35,112 --> 01:23:36,478
It's that it make us think.

1398
01:23:37,679 --> 01:23:39,180
brings out... the...

1399
01:23:39,244 --> 01:23:41,430
What about this?,
What about that?.

1400
01:23:41,537 --> 01:23:43,751
<i>We need explanations</i>
<i>for all of these things.</i>

1401
01:23:43,976 --> 01:23:46,162
<i>And I think that one of the main reasons,</i>

1402
01:23:46,462 --> 01:23:48,668
<i>why mainstream archaeologists,</i>

1403
01:23:48,754 --> 01:23:53,038
<i>* a real nature reaction</i>
<i>to the ancient astronaut theory,</i>

1404
01:23:53,372 --> 01:23:55,020
<i>is that, it's very disturbing to them,</i>

1405
01:23:55,021 --> 01:23:58,040
<i>because they don't have all the answers.</i>

1406
01:23:58,744 --> 01:24:02,223
<i>Some of them may believe that</i>
<i>life could exist in the universe.</i>

1407
01:24:02,445 --> 01:24:04,065
but the bottom line is...

1408
01:24:04,150 --> 01:24:07,776
"Show me the proof,
show it to me... for real".

1409
01:24:07,905 --> 01:24:11,244
"I want to see the spaceship,
I want to see something concrete".

1410
01:24:11,559 --> 01:24:15,369
<i>not just a few pictures that everybody</i>
<i>can interprete, as being...</i>

1411
01:24:15,512 --> 01:24:16,604
... this... or that.

1412
01:24:21,331 --> 01:24:22,414
<i>Forefetch*,</i>

1413
01:24:22,722 --> 01:24:23,837
<i>ridiculous,</i>

1414
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:25,107
<i>insane,</i>

1415
01:24:25,722 --> 01:24:28,776
<i>Ancient aliens visiting Earth</i>
<i>centuries ago,</i>

1416
01:24:29,155 --> 01:24:30,488
<i>building monuments,</i>

1417
01:24:31,296 --> 01:24:32,952
<i>influencing scripture,</i>

1418
01:24:34,306 --> 01:24:36,692
<i>But what if all turned out to be true?</i>

1419
01:24:38,505 --> 01:24:42,034
<i>What would happend if just</i>
<i>one piece of evidence turn up,</i>

1420
01:24:42,305 --> 01:24:43,365
one stone,

1421
01:24:43,527 --> 01:24:44,628
<i>one key,</i>

1422
01:24:44,857 --> 01:24:48,152
<i>that prove that Von Däniken</i>
<i>had been right all along?</i>

1423
01:24:49,253 --> 01:24:50,562
<i>And if he is right,</i>

1424
01:24:50,863 --> 01:24:53,394
<i>What does that suggest</i>
<i>about our future?</i>

1425
01:24:54,126 --> 01:24:56,629
<i>If alien visitors</i>
<i>had come here before,</i>

1426
01:24:57,706 --> 01:24:59,493
<i>Would they come... again?</i>

1427
01:25:04,205 --> 01:25:07,494
<i>Even I think the idea</i>
<i>of aliens are visiting us,</i>

1428
01:25:07,637 --> 01:25:11,141
<i>it's very exciting, interesting,</i>
<i>and it be really cool if that happen.</i>

1429
01:25:11,248 --> 01:25:13,585
So yet's people excited about the question,

1430
01:25:13,586 --> 01:25:15,167
maybe they start thinking about it,

1431
01:25:15,372 --> 01:25:16,948
<i>and like many thing they may ultimately</i>

1432
01:25:16,949 --> 01:25:18,274
<i>come to thinking of the Physics</i>

1433
01:25:18,275 --> 01:25:19,358
<i>or the Archaeology.</i>

1434
01:25:19,473 --> 01:25:21,524
<i>and yet involved in the scientific process.</i>

1435
01:25:21,525 --> 01:25:23,301
<i>So that could be a positive side efect,</i>

1436
01:25:23,537 --> 01:25:25,701
<i>of these theories and the popularization.</i>

1437
01:25:26,352 --> 01:25:27,756
<i>If it turns out,</i>

1438
01:25:28,236 --> 01:25:31,115
<i>that ancient astronaut theory, is wrong,</i>

1439
01:25:31,446 --> 01:25:34,227
<i>I will be the first one to say:</i>

1440
01:25:34,750 --> 01:25:36,740
"Ok, no problem"

1441
01:25:37,164 --> 01:25:38,387
But so far...

1442
01:25:38,995 --> 01:25:42,692
<i>... certain pieces of evidence,</i>
<i>have not been debunk.</i>

1443
01:25:51,445 --> 01:25:53,792
<i>If the ancient alien astronaut theory,</i>

1444
01:25:54,221 --> 01:25:55,785
<i>is somehow proven to be true,</i>

1445
01:25:56,135 --> 01:25:58,168
this could be a huge boom...

1446
01:25:58,662 --> 01:25:59,630
to my work,

1447
01:25:59,896 --> 01:26:02,642
into the search for other planets
like Earth with life on them.

1448
01:26:03,047 --> 01:26:06,874
<i>because, if aliens astronauts have</i>
<i>visited Earth on the distant past...</i>

1449
01:26:07,124 --> 01:26:08,487
<i>it means they pretty near by,</i>

1450
01:26:08,716 --> 01:26:10,887
<i>and it means we don't</i>
<i>have to look very far,</i>

1451
01:26:10,888 --> 01:26:13,480
<i>to find planets like Earth,</i>
<i>with signs of life on them.</i>

1452
01:26:14,953 --> 01:26:19,065
But evidence has to be treated
with a grade of caution,

1453
01:26:19,377 --> 01:26:21,522
because it has different meanings.

1454
01:26:22,702 --> 01:26:27,115
<i>I'm not sure what the reaction</i>
<i>of the population will be.</i>

1455
01:26:28,989 --> 01:26:34,910
<i>It would strike them, the general concept</i>
<i>of our history religions in the world,</i>

1456
01:26:34,969 --> 01:26:37,382
<i>means be looked at</i>
<i>again with more respect.</i>

1457
01:26:37,613 --> 01:26:39,682
and also in more wonder, meaning

1458
01:26:39,768 --> 01:26:43,749
What are we supose to make of this now,
What are we supose be doing of this now.

1459
01:26:44,486 --> 01:26:47,752
<i>If science detects life on Mars,</i>

1460
01:26:48,293 --> 01:26:51,251
<i>if science detectes a UFO,</i>

1461
01:26:51,444 --> 01:26:54,319
<i>then we need to * with</i>
<i>science as same to us,</i>

1462
01:26:54,527 --> 01:26:56,847
<i>and begin to re-think about ourselves...</i>

1463
01:26:57,064 --> 01:26:57,909
<i>... on Earth,</i>

1464
01:26:57,910 --> 01:27:00,844
in light of the possibility of new life.

1465
01:27:01,337 --> 01:27:03,786
Does that change our
understanding of God?

1466
01:27:04,269 --> 01:27:06,199
It shouldn't if anything broke there*.

1467
01:27:06,766 --> 01:27:10,015
<i>If we do find alien life,</i>
<i>we should rejoice.</i>

1468
01:27:12,727 --> 01:27:15,460
And honestly the way things are
going on this planet right now,

1469
01:27:15,815 --> 01:27:19,690
I would welcomed a visitation
every once in a life, a little help.

1470
01:27:21,774 --> 01:27:24,288
<i>There is no doubt that my hypothesis</i>

1471
01:27:24,424 --> 01:27:27,155
<i>will be accepted by the mainstream.</i>

1472
01:27:27,392 --> 01:27:30,822
<i>Its maybe a question</i>
<i>of just 5 or 10 years.</i>

1473
01:27:32,451 --> 01:27:36,195
Sooner or later we will have
contact with somene out there,

1474
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:37,941
<i>and then, the thinking...</i>

1475
01:27:38,220 --> 01:27:39,235
<i>... they will return.</i>

1476
01:27:39,325 --> 01:27:41,992
<i>and if you do not listen</i>
<i>to Erik Von Däniken,</i>

1477
01:27:42,064 --> 01:27:45,223
<i>You will have</i>
the... "Shock of the Gods".
