knowledge of whatsoever. 4 00:00:09,343 --> 00:00:12,611 DAVID CHILDRESS: It would seem to be all of the cultures 5 00:00:12,646 --> 00:00:15,681 were trying to signal some kind of sky people. 6

00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:27,359 GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: With the technology that has been 10 00:00:27,395 --> 00:00:30,162 and is being developed at the moment, 11 00:00:30,197 --> 00:00:33,499 archaeology will have to accept the fact 12 00:00:33,534 --> 00:00:36,402 we have been visited by extraterrestrials 13 00:00:36,437 --> 00:00:37,903 in the remote past. 14 00:00:37,938 --> 00:00:41,340 NARRATOR: Since the dawn of civilization, 15 00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:45,377 mankind has credited its origins to gods 16 00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:48,580 and other visitors from the stars. 17 00:00:48,616 --> 00:00:51,550 What if it were true? 18 00:00:51,585 --> 00:00:53,552 Did extraterrestrial beings 19 00:00:53,587 --> 00:00:56,955 really help to shape our history? 20 00:00:56,991 --> 00:01:00,659 And if so, will new evidence reveal, 21 00:01:00,694 --> 00:01:03,762 once and for all, that we are not alone? 22 00:01:05,266 --> 00:01:07,199 Â♪ Â♪ 23 00:01:36,831 --> 00:01:39,832 NARRATOR: Throughout recorded history, 24 00:01:39,867 --> 00:01:41,834 archaeologists have discovered 25 00:01:41,869 --> 00:01:46,638 new structures, carvings and texts 26 00:01:46,674 --> 00:01:49,675 that have put into question 27 00:01:49,710 --> 00:01:52,478 the established notions of our past. 28 00:01:52,513 --> 00:01:55,547 Ruins dating back thousands of years 29 00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:58,550 reveal engineering skill 30 00:01:58,586 --> 00:02:01,453 surpassing even modern capabilities. 31 00:02:01,489 --> 00:02:03,388 Ancient rock art 32 00:02:03,424 --> 00:02:06,825 depicts figures that resemble astronauts. 33 00:02:06,861 --> 00:02:11,263 And mysterious monoliths aligned with the stars 34 00:02:11,298 --> 00:02:14,900 dot the landscapes of nearly every continent. 35 00:02:14,935 --> 00:02:19,404 In his 1968 book, Chariots of the Gods?, 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,275 Erich von Daniken proposed that all of this evidence 37 00:02:23,310 --> 00:02:25,577 pointed to one profound truth, 38 00:02:25,613 --> 00:02:28,313 that extraterrestrials had visited Earth 39 00:02:28,349 --> 00:02:30,215 in the distant past 40 00:02:30,251 --> 00:02:33,018 and changed the course of human history. 41 00:02:33,053 --> 00:02:35,354 Â♪ Â♪ 42 00:02:35,389 --> 00:02:39,291 This concept is known as ancient astronaut theory, 43 00:02:39,326 --> 00:02:40,926 and today it is embraced 44 00:02:40,961 --> 00:02:44,596 by literally millions of people around the world. 45 00:02:44,632 --> 00:02:46,965 Everyone in this room wants to ask, 46 00:02:47,001 --> 00:02:49,434 have you watched Ancient Aliens, 47 00:02:49,470 --> 00:02:52,504 and what's your comment about that series? 48 00:02:52,540 --> 00:02:56,308 REPORTER: King Tut's tomb may have more mysteries to reveal. 49 00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:58,744 The California Institute of Technology published 50 00:02:58,779 --> 00:03:00,479 a study claiming they have discovered 51 00:03:00,514 --> 00:03:03,382 a true ninth planet beyond Pluto. 52 00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:06,418 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 53 00:03:06,453 --> 00:03:09,955 the evidence that extraterrestrials visited Earth 54 00:03:09,990 --> 00:03:12,090 is all around us 55 00:03:12,126 --> 00:03:15,194 and say that with new technology, 56 00:03:15,229 --> 00:03:18,263 we are uncovering more proof than ever before. 57 00:03:18,299 --> 00:03:22,000 Liquid water has been found on Mars. 58 00:03:22,036 --> 00:03:24,570 REPORTER 2: NASA's Hubble Space Telescope... have made 59 00:03:24,605 --> 00:03:27,973 independent confirmations in the hunt for extra-solar planets. 60 00:03:28,008 --> 00:03:30,008 REPORTER 3: Gliese 581. 61 00:03:30,044 --> 00:03:32,544 This would be the most Earth-like exoplanet 62 00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:34,813 yet discovered. 63 00:03:34,848 --> 00:03:37,683 In the past few years, 64 00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:42,921 different shafts were discovered in the Great Pyramid. 65 00:03:42,957 --> 00:03:46,925 That was only possible because of our modern technology. 66 00:03:48,529 --> 00:03:50,362 The same thing happens in astronomy. 67 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:53,565 Because of the Hubble Telescope, 68 00:03:53,601 --> 00:03:55,467 we have discovered more than 69 00:03:55,502 --> 00:03:59,972 two-and-a-half thousand so-called exoplanets, 70 00:04:00,007 --> 00:04:02,975 planets out of our solar system. 71 00:04:03,010 --> 00:04:05,944 The same thing in genetics. 72 00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:09,181 It's all connected. 73 00:04:09,216 --> 00:04:13,552 We should finally understand to link all these things together. 74 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:18,056 CHILDRESS: With all of the new technologies 75 00:04:18,092 --> 00:04:20,025 that archaeologists have to use now, 76 00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:24,062 ground-penetrating radar, satellite images, 77 00:04:24,098 --> 00:04:27,366 uh, even the access of Google Earth, 78 00:04:27,401 --> 00:04:32,170 has been a tremendous boon to archaeologists, 79 00:04:32,206 --> 00:04:37,142 and they're now finding things that we never thought existed. 80 00:04:37,177 --> 00:04:40,212 WILCOCK: Science ultimately is a belief system 81 00:04:40,247 --> 00:04:42,047 that is based on certain evidence, 82 00:04:42,082 --> 00:04:44,583 but as new evidence comes in, 83 00:04:44,618 --> 00:04:47,019 authentic scientific investigation requires you 84 00:04:47,054 --> 00:04:49,554 to incorporate that evidence 85 00:04:49,590 --> 00:04:52,391 into the model that you are constructing. 86 00:04:52,426 --> 00:04:55,494 If we look at the recent findings, 87 00:04:55,529 --> 00:04:59,464 we're seeing the most revolutionary breakthroughs 88 00:04:59,500 --> 00:05:01,566 in the field of ancient astronaut theory 89 00:05:01,602 --> 00:05:03,502 that we have ever seen. 90 00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:08,006 NARRATOR: Wiltshire, England. 91 00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:12,110 Here stands one of the most mysterious 92 00:05:12,146 --> 00:05:15,681 stone monuments on Earth, Stonehenge. 93 00:05:17,518 --> 00:05:20,986 For centuries, it has baffled archaeologists, 94 00:05:21,021 --> 00:05:24,122 but in September of 2015, 95 00:05:24,158 --> 00:05:26,725 just two miles away, 96 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,760 a discovery was made that could provide 97 00:05:28,796 --> 00:05:31,330 an important new piece to the puzzle. 98 00:05:33,033 --> 00:05:34,566 At the Durrington Walls, 99 00:05:34,601 --> 00:05:37,969 Great Britain's largest ancient henge structure-- 100 00:05:38,005 --> 00:05:39,971 or circular earthwork-- 101 00:05:40,007 --> 00:05:44,076 archaeologists, using ground-penetrating radar, 102 00:05:44,111 --> 00:05:46,778 uncovered something astonishing, 103 00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:50,649 nearly 100 monolithic standing stones. 104 00:05:52,186 --> 00:05:56,121 Recently, a type of super-henge was discovered 105 00:05:56,156 --> 00:05:58,690 only two miles from Stonehenge, 106 00:05:58,726 --> 00:06:02,060 and it's a giant mystery because, 107 00:06:02,096 --> 00:06:05,664 according to the working archaeologists, it's older. 108 00:06:05,699 --> 00:06:09,735 So the question now is, if it's older than Stonehenge, 109 00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:13,505 what was its purpose, and why was it built? 110 00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:19,578 This is the southern side of Durrington Walls, 111 00:06:19,613 --> 00:06:22,981 the southern edge of the great Superhenge. 112 00:06:23,016 --> 00:06:25,484 And beneath my feet 113 00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:28,954 is at least one and another here 114 00:06:28,989 --> 00:06:32,057 of the 90 great stones. 115 00:06:33,594 --> 00:06:35,293 Now, these stones, 116 00:06:35,329 --> 00:06:39,264 which were perhaps 15 feet in size, 117 00:06:39,299 --> 00:06:44,069 weighing anything between ten and 15 tons apiece, 118 00:06:44,104 --> 00:06:46,905 were part of a huge arc 119 00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:50,976 that faced out towards the northern night sky. 120 00:06:51,011 --> 00:06:55,213 They were constructed as part of a mysterious monument 121 00:06:55,249 --> 00:06:58,183 even earlier than Durrington Walls, 122 00:06:58,218 --> 00:07:02,120 which dates to around 2500 BC. 123 00:07:02,156 --> 00:07:03,622 So they could be hundreds, 124 00:07:03,657 --> 00:07:07,559 perhaps even thousands, of years earlier, 125 00:07:07,594 --> 00:07:10,629 and exactly why it's here is a complete mystery. 126 00:07:10,664 --> 00:07:13,365 DAVID CHEETHAM: These stones were purposely buried, 127 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,568 and they seem to be part of a ritual complex 128 00:07:16,603 --> 00:07:18,503 that goes way beyond that particular site, 129 00:07:18,539 --> 00:07:21,673 into the entire plain on which it's found. 130 00:07:21,708 --> 00:07:25,143 So these stones encircle one part of the site 131 00:07:25,179 --> 00:07:27,245 and were consequently buried under a mound, 132 00:07:27,281 --> 00:07:29,114 which is really mysterious. 133 00:07:29,149 --> 00:07:32,617 NARRATOR: While the stones of Superhenge 134 00:07:32,653 --> 00:07:35,921 that have been discovered so far form an arc, 135 00:07:35,956 --> 00:07:40,392 many researchers believe that it was originally a full circle, 136 00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:42,794 much like another ancient structure 137 00:07:42,830 --> 00:07:47,732 located just 300 yards to the south, Woodhenge. 138 00:07:47,768 --> 00:07:50,435 This is Woodhenge. 139 00:07:51,839 --> 00:07:54,439 This was a smaller monument 140 00:07:54,475 --> 00:07:58,410 consisting of six concentric rings 141 00:07:58,445 --> 00:08:02,314 of wooden posts that pointed up towards the sky 142 00:08:02,349 --> 00:08:06,318 as much as 4,000 years ago. 143 00:08:06,353 --> 00:08:08,453 And this monument itself, 144 00:08:08,489 --> 00:08:12,924 being circular in the same way that Stonehenge was, 145 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,994 suggests to us that the 90 stones 146 00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:19,397 around the edge of Durrington 147 00:08:19,433 --> 00:08:22,334 was a huge great circle in itself, 148 00:08:22,369 --> 00:08:26,204 the largest ring of stones anywhere in Europe, 149 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,006 perhaps even in the world. 150 00:08:31,278 --> 00:08:34,613 NARRATOR: Incredibly, the newly discovered Superhenge 151 00:08:34,648 --> 00:08:36,281 is not all that has been uncovered 152 00:08:36,316 --> 00:08:38,016 beneath the earth here. 153 00:08:38,051 --> 00:08:40,952 Since July 2010, 154 00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:43,755 an international team of experts-- 155 00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:47,292 as part of the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project-- 156 00:08:47,327 --> 00:08:51,730 has been mapping the entire area using the latest technology. 157 00:08:51,765 --> 00:08:56,935 More than 15 underground sites have been found. 158 00:08:56,970 --> 00:08:58,904 ThCHEETHAM: There's no doubt that these finds 159 00:08:58,939 --> 00:09:02,040 will cause English archaeologists to have 160 00:09:02,075 --> 00:09:04,075 to revisit everything we know about Stonehenge, 161 00:09:04,111 --> 00:09:06,478 because Stonehenge is not going to be considered 162 00:09:06,513 --> 00:09:08,580 an isolate or something that's curious. 163 00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,516 NARRATOR: While mainstream scientists 164 00:09:11,552 --> 00:09:13,852 believe Stonehenge and its surrounding sites 165 00:09:13,887 --> 00:09:17,389 were ancient ritual and burial grounds, 166 00:09:17,424 --> 00:09:21,826 there is no written record to explain why ancient people 167 00:09:21,862 --> 00:09:24,596 chose to move and erect massive blocks 168 00:09:24,631 --> 00:09:26,798 that weigh up to 50 tons-- 169 00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:31,503 some of which were transported from over 100 miles away. 170 00:09:31,538 --> 00:09:35,206 And now that a second Stonehenge has been found, 171 00:09:35,242 --> 00:09:38,543 the theory that these sites were simply burial grounds 172 00:09:38,579 --> 00:09:41,246 has been thrown into greater question. 173 00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:45,150 DAVID WHITEHEAD: These ancient people had a great deal 174 00:09:45,185 --> 00:09:48,687 of knowledge about how to align these structures perfectly. 175 00:09:48,722 --> 00:09:51,590 So, we're dealing with an advanced civilization, 176 00:09:51,625 --> 00:09:52,657 to say the least. 177 00:09:52,693 --> 00:09:54,459 Where they had that knowledge, 178 00:09:54,494 --> 00:09:56,161 where they got that knowledge, where they developed 179 00:09:56,196 --> 00:09:59,564 the ability to put these incredible monuments together, 180 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,833 it boggles the mind. 181 00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:04,102 NARRATOR: Archaeologists believe 182 00:10:04,137 --> 00:10:07,806 that Stonehenge's two rings of standing stones 183 00:10:07,841 --> 00:10:11,409 may be simply the remains of a much larger structure, 184 00:10:11,445 --> 00:10:13,511 based on the presence of the earthen henge 185 00:10:13,547 --> 00:10:15,280 that surrounds it. 186 00:10:17,751 --> 00:10:20,518 This has led to speculation that Superhenge 187 00:10:20,554 --> 00:10:23,388 also contained additional rings, 188 00:10:23,423 --> 00:10:27,659 and that these structures might even have had walls and roofs. 189 00:10:29,896 --> 00:10:32,664 But if true, was this area of England 190 00:10:32,699 --> 00:10:35,934 much more than simply a site of religious ceremony? 191 00:10:37,337 --> 00:10:39,137 WILLIAM HENRY: When we look to these 192 00:10:39,172 --> 00:10:40,872 extraordinary structures on Earth, 193 00:10:40,907 --> 00:10:43,174 it makes you wonder, did extraterrestrials have 194 00:10:43,210 --> 00:10:46,244 a hand in creating these massive monuments? 195 00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:49,514 Or did they teach humans how to build these monuments? 196 00:10:51,318 --> 00:10:53,918 CHILDRESS: So you have to wonder what the purpose of these 197 00:10:53,954 --> 00:10:56,888 giant stone circles are around the world. 198 00:10:56,923 --> 00:10:59,424 Is it possible that they were some 199 00:10:59,459 --> 00:11:02,627 kind of spaceport or a conceived city? 200 00:11:07,434 --> 00:11:09,467 NARRATOR: Is it possible that Stonehenge 201 00:11:09,503 --> 00:11:12,203 and the many structures that surround it 202 00:11:12,239 --> 00:11:15,874 are the remnants of an extraterrestrial spaceport? 203 00:11:17,544 --> 00:11:20,845 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 204 00:11:20,881 --> 00:11:24,149 and suggest that further proof exists 205 00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:26,685 in the form of DNA evidence, 206 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,486 hidden in the tomb 207 00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:30,488 of King Tut. 208 00:11:33,326 --> 00:11:35,527 RAMY ROMANY: They have confirmed that they might have discovered 209 00:11:35,562 --> 00:11:39,631 another passway behind King Tut's burial chamber. 210 00:11:39,666 --> 00:11:41,900 WILCOCK: We go in there, we're going to find artifacts 211 00:11:41,935 --> 00:11:44,335 that could be undeniably 212 00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:45,570 extraterrestrial. 213 00:11:49,993 --> 00:11:53,462 NARRATOR: Luxor, Egypt. 214 00:11:53,497 --> 00:11:56,865 Here lies the tomb of the world's most famous pharaoh... 215 00:11:58,335 --> 00:12:00,702 King Tutankhamun. 216 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,475 When it was discovered in 1922, 217 00:12:06,510 --> 00:12:08,910 completely intact and preserved 218 00:12:08,946 --> 00:12:11,780 after more than 3,000 years, 219 00:12:11,815 --> 00:12:14,449 it was considered one of the most significant 220 00:12:14,485 --> 00:12:17,319 archaeological discoveries of all time. 221 00:12:19,056 --> 00:12:20,922 But as spectacular a find as it was, 222 00:12:20,958 --> 00:12:23,892 almost a century later, 223 00:12:23,927 --> 00:12:27,162 new evidence has come to light that there may be much more 224 00:12:27,197 --> 00:12:31,166 to King Tut's final resting place than meets the eye. 225 00:12:32,870 --> 00:12:35,504 While examining high-resolution scans of the tomb 226 00:12:35,539 --> 00:12:38,874 on September 28, 2015, 227 00:12:38,909 --> 00:12:41,943 British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves 228 00:12:41,979 --> 00:12:44,112 found something remarkable-- 229 00:12:44,147 --> 00:12:47,582 the possibility of two hidden passages 230 00:12:47,618 --> 00:12:52,220 connected directly to King Tut's burial chamber. 231 00:12:52,256 --> 00:12:53,922 ROBERT BAUVAL: There was a Spanish company, 232 00:12:53,957 --> 00:12:56,925 who was recruited to scan the tomb of Tutankhamun 233 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,461 in order to replicate it. 234 00:12:59,496 --> 00:13:03,298 It is through this high definition photography scanning 235 00:13:03,333 --> 00:13:06,668 that Reeves noticed that on the north wall 236 00:13:06,703 --> 00:13:09,404 of the burial chamber, there is some cracks, 237 00:13:09,439 --> 00:13:12,574 indicating the possibility of a door. 238 00:13:12,609 --> 00:13:15,310 And also on the eastern wall. 239 00:13:15,345 --> 00:13:18,613 So there's two possible chambers. 240 00:13:18,649 --> 00:13:22,450 ROMANY: Reeves took his laser images to Dr. Mamdouh Eldamaty, 241 00:13:22,486 --> 00:13:25,186 who is the Minister of Antiquities in Egypt, 242 00:13:25,222 --> 00:13:29,357 and they both decided to dig further. 243 00:13:29,393 --> 00:13:31,893 They used thermal scanning, which tells you 244 00:13:31,929 --> 00:13:34,496 the exact density of the wall at every part. 245 00:13:34,531 --> 00:13:38,066 And they have confirmed that they might have discovered 246 00:13:38,101 --> 00:13:40,569 another passway or a chamber 247 00:13:40,604 --> 00:13:44,439 behind King Tut's burial chamber. 248 00:13:44,474 --> 00:13:46,775 NARRATOR: Whether there are more buried treasures 249 00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:50,412 beyond the painted walls remains to be seen. 250 00:13:50,447 --> 00:13:54,616 But if so, Reeves has a theory. 251 00:13:54,651 --> 00:13:57,018 He believes the passageway may lead 252 00:13:57,054 --> 00:13:59,721 to the tomb of Queen Nefertiti-- 253 00:13:59,756 --> 00:14:01,823 the wife of Pharaoh Akhenaten, 254 00:14:01,858 --> 00:14:06,261 who ruled during the 14th century BC. 255 00:14:07,664 --> 00:14:09,297 NARRATOR: But why would Nefertiti's tomb 256 00:14:09,333 --> 00:14:11,333 be hidden beyond King Tut's? 257 00:14:11,368 --> 00:14:14,436 Ancient astronaut theorists believe there may be 258 00:14:14,471 --> 00:14:16,571 a profound reason-- 259 00:14:16,607 --> 00:14:18,740 that Queen Nefertiti 260 00:14:18,775 --> 00:14:20,775 was not of this world. 261 00:14:22,946 --> 00:14:25,847 Nefertiti's parents are unknown. 262 00:14:25,882 --> 00:14:28,683 On pictures, she is shown 263 00:14:28,719 --> 00:14:31,720 with one of these elongated heads. 264 00:14:31,755 --> 00:14:34,289 Now we know the gods, 265 00:14:34,324 --> 00:14:36,291 the old Egyptian gods, 266 00:14:36,326 --> 00:14:39,828 they had longer heads than we have. 267 00:14:39,863 --> 00:14:43,064 And according to the pyramid texts, 268 00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:45,400 sometimes they left the Earth, 269 00:14:45,435 --> 00:14:47,369 and then they returned again. 270 00:14:47,404 --> 00:14:52,140 So Nefertiti's parents were maybe extraterrestrials. 271 00:14:52,175 --> 00:14:53,908 ROMANY: King Akhenaten and his wife 272 00:14:53,944 --> 00:14:55,610 looked completely different 273 00:14:55,646 --> 00:14:58,046 than all the other ancient Egyptian kings. 274 00:14:58,081 --> 00:15:00,849 King Akhenaten always was depicted 275 00:15:00,884 --> 00:15:05,820 with an elongated skull, a bigger-size hip, 276 00:15:05,856 --> 00:15:09,090 a belly that drools over his belt. 277 00:15:09,126 --> 00:15:12,394 He believed that he wasn't a man 278 00:15:12,429 --> 00:15:15,864 and he wasn't a woman and he wasn't a king. 279 00:15:15,899 --> 00:15:18,133 He was just something else. 280 00:15:18,168 --> 00:15:21,603 BAUVAL: The most unusual feature is, uh, elongated skulls. 281 00:15:21,638 --> 00:15:23,705 There's been a lot of discussions 282 00:15:23,740 --> 00:15:25,206 about what these skulls meant. 283 00:15:25,242 --> 00:15:28,043 Whether they were literally elongated skulls, 284 00:15:28,078 --> 00:15:30,879 or whether they were just decoration features. 285 00:15:30,914 --> 00:15:32,981 It's certainly very intriguing. 286 00:15:33,016 --> 00:15:34,983 It doesn't appear before or afterwards. 287 00:15:35,018 --> 00:15:37,519 So there's something rather odd about this, I have to admit. 288 00:15:39,056 --> 00:15:41,322 NARRATOR: The reign of Akhenaten and Nefertiti 289 00:15:41,358 --> 00:15:43,992 introduced a new and controversial 290 00:15:44,027 --> 00:15:46,528 monotheistic faith to Egypt-- 291 00:15:46,563 --> 00:15:50,465 worshipping the disc-shaped sun god Aten. 292 00:15:50,500 --> 00:15:52,067 TSOUKALOS: The Aten was described 293 00:15:52,102 --> 00:15:54,836 as this flying sun disc. 294 00:15:54,871 --> 00:15:56,938 Egyptologists are 295 00:15:56,973 --> 00:16:00,775 merely saying that this was nothing else but the sun, 296 00:16:00,811 --> 00:16:02,210 but the question is: 297 00:16:02,245 --> 00:16:06,781 Can the sun instruct you in different disciplines? 298 00:16:06,817 --> 00:16:08,149 And the answer is no. 299 00:16:08,185 --> 00:16:11,619 So we have to see whether or not 300 00:16:11,655 --> 00:16:15,824 our ancestors encountered technology 301 00:16:15,859 --> 00:16:19,728 and misinterpreted it as something in nature. 302 00:16:19,763 --> 00:16:21,796 NARRATOR: Is it possible the depictions 303 00:16:21,832 --> 00:16:24,265 of Akhenaten and Nefertiti-- 304 00:16:24,301 --> 00:16:27,769 along with their worship of a disc-shaped god-- 305 00:16:27,804 --> 00:16:31,973 are evidence that they were not of this world? 306 00:16:32,008 --> 00:16:34,976 And if so, might Queen Nefertiti's tomb 307 00:16:35,011 --> 00:16:38,012 contain DNA evidence of 308 00:16:38,048 --> 00:16:40,982 their extraterrestrial origins? 309 00:16:41,017 --> 00:16:43,985 The ancient Egyptians did not want us 310 00:16:44,020 --> 00:16:46,888 to know anything about Nefertiti or Akhenaten, 311 00:16:46,923 --> 00:16:48,523 or even Tutankhamen. 312 00:16:48,558 --> 00:16:51,760 They made every effort they possibly could 313 00:16:51,795 --> 00:16:56,464 to erase all references to their existence. 314 00:16:56,500 --> 00:16:59,400 So what is it about Nefertiti 315 00:16:59,436 --> 00:17:01,870 that makes the opening of her tomb so powerful? 316 00:17:01,905 --> 00:17:04,472 This ultimately goes back to Akhenaten 317 00:17:04,508 --> 00:17:06,975 and Nefertiti's introduction of the teaching 318 00:17:07,010 --> 00:17:10,578 of the celestial disc. 319 00:17:10,614 --> 00:17:14,315 What if, when we go past that wall, 320 00:17:14,351 --> 00:17:16,851 the real treasure trove is waiting inside, 321 00:17:16,887 --> 00:17:19,654 and when we go in there, we're going to find artifacts 322 00:17:19,689 --> 00:17:23,391 that could be undeniably extraterrestrial? 323 00:17:23,426 --> 00:17:26,227 NARRATOR: Could this tomb hide 324 00:17:26,263 --> 00:17:28,963 otherworldly secrets and treasures? 325 00:17:28,999 --> 00:17:30,932 Might we be on the verge 326 00:17:30,967 --> 00:17:33,168 of locating indisputable evidence 327 00:17:33,203 --> 00:17:35,703 of extraterrestrial intervention 328 00:17:35,739 --> 00:17:37,372 in the distant past? 329 00:17:37,407 --> 00:17:40,341 Perhaps additional pieces to the puzzle 330 00:17:40,377 --> 00:17:42,811 can be found deep within the temple 331 00:17:42,846 --> 00:17:46,181 of a flying serpent god. 332 00:17:50,587 --> 00:17:53,822 COLLINS: Why would you put liquid mercury 333 00:17:53,857 --> 00:17:55,190 inside a tomb? 334 00:17:56,893 --> 00:17:58,993 TSOUKALOS: Mercury has very good uses 335 00:17:59,029 --> 00:18:01,496 in space travel. 336 00:18:06,627 --> 00:18:09,028 NARRATOR: Teotihuacan, Mexico. 337 00:18:09,063 --> 00:18:12,665 April 24, 2015. 338 00:18:15,102 --> 00:18:16,702 For six years, 339 00:18:16,737 --> 00:18:19,371 Mexican archaeologist Sergio Gómez 340 00:18:19,407 --> 00:18:21,207 has been performing an excavation 341 00:18:21,242 --> 00:18:25,010 of the ancient city's third largest pyramid, 342 00:18:25,046 --> 00:18:28,380 the Pyramid of Quetzalcoatl, 343 00:18:28,416 --> 00:18:31,750 which dates back to the second century AD. 344 00:18:33,521 --> 00:18:36,322 Gómez has uncovered numerous relics 345 00:18:36,357 --> 00:18:38,290 in the course of his excavation, 346 00:18:38,326 --> 00:18:41,961 but on this date, he discovers something completely unexpected 347 00:18:41,996 --> 00:18:45,498 in a chamber below the pyramid: 348 00:18:45,533 --> 00:18:49,168 Large quantities of liquid mercury. 349 00:18:49,203 --> 00:18:54,840 COLLINS: Gómez has been gradually penetrating a tunnel 350 00:18:54,876 --> 00:18:57,743 and he's now reached 351 00:18:57,778 --> 00:19:00,246 a depth of 300 feet. 352 00:19:00,281 --> 00:19:03,382 But along the way, they found liquid mercury. 353 00:19:03,417 --> 00:19:05,851 Now, why would you put 354 00:19:05,887 --> 00:19:08,254 liquid mercury inside a tomb? 355 00:19:08,289 --> 00:19:11,257 GEORGE NOORY: You wouldn't want to put mercury down there 356 00:19:11,292 --> 00:19:12,558 just for the heck of it, 357 00:19:12,593 --> 00:19:14,527 because if you get too close to it, 358 00:19:14,562 --> 00:19:16,962 or too involved with it, it's gonna kill you. 359 00:19:20,635 --> 00:19:24,270 NARRATOR: Mercury is an extremely rare 360 00:19:24,305 --> 00:19:27,773 and conductive element that, today, is used primarily 361 00:19:27,808 --> 00:19:30,309 in electronics and automobiles, 362 00:19:30,344 --> 00:19:32,778 so the presence of this dangerous substance 363 00:19:32,813 --> 00:19:35,247 below an ancient Aztec pyramid 364 00:19:35,283 --> 00:19:37,816 has puzzled scientists. 365 00:19:37,852 --> 00:19:40,653 But ancient astronaut theorists believe 366 00:19:40,688 --> 00:19:43,722 the mercury found at this temple-- 367 00:19:43,758 --> 00:19:46,358 a temple built to honor Quetzalcoatl, 368 00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:49,795 the feathered serpent that came down from the sky-- 369 00:19:49,830 --> 00:19:51,830 may have a direct connection 370 00:19:51,866 --> 00:19:56,335 to the beings the Aztecs referred to as their gods. 371 00:19:56,370 --> 00:19:58,571 Now, liquid mercury 372 00:19:58,606 --> 00:20:00,873 was not only found in Teotihuacan. 373 00:20:00,908 --> 00:20:04,443 According to old Indian texts, 374 00:20:04,478 --> 00:20:08,113 liquid mercury was one part 375 00:20:08,149 --> 00:20:09,882 of the propulsion system 376 00:20:09,917 --> 00:20:12,318 which the extraterrestrials used 377 00:20:12,353 --> 00:20:15,921 for their flying machines. 378 00:20:15,957 --> 00:20:18,724 WILCOCK: There are many legends that the Nazis themselves 379 00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,427 actually went through these Sanskrit texts 380 00:20:21,462 --> 00:20:23,095 in order to help them develop 381 00:20:23,130 --> 00:20:26,632 their own flying craft technology. 382 00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:31,103 What we know from the leaked German scientific reports 383 00:20:31,138 --> 00:20:34,607 is that, apparently, if you subject mercury 384 00:20:34,642 --> 00:20:37,276 to a very high level of electrostatic charge 385 00:20:37,311 --> 00:20:39,211 and then rotate it, 386 00:20:39,246 --> 00:20:40,946 you get a gravitational thrust 387 00:20:40,982 --> 00:20:44,650 which allows you to create inertial force 388 00:20:44,685 --> 00:20:47,219 that can counteract the normal force of gravity. 389 00:20:49,156 --> 00:20:52,391 TSOUKALOS: So the idea that we have references to mercury 390 00:20:52,426 --> 00:20:55,160 in a chamber of the Feathered Serpent... 391 00:20:55,196 --> 00:20:57,262 One has to ask the question: 392 00:20:57,298 --> 00:20:59,565 what was this Feathered Serpent? 393 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,601 According to the ancient astronaut theory, 394 00:21:02,637 --> 00:21:05,204 we are talking about physical craft 395 00:21:05,239 --> 00:21:07,439 that, at some point, 396 00:21:07,475 --> 00:21:11,310 were misinterpreted as living creatures. 397 00:21:11,345 --> 00:21:15,514 NARRATOR: Could this incredible discovery of liquid mercury 398 00:21:15,549 --> 00:21:17,549 provide further proof 399 00:21:17,585 --> 00:21:21,020 that the Feathered Serpent was actually a spacecraft? 400 00:21:21,055 --> 00:21:25,457 Ancient astronaut theorists believe another toxic tomb 401 00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:28,427 may help answer this question. 402 00:21:30,097 --> 00:21:31,897 Shaanxi Province, China. 403 00:21:34,168 --> 00:21:36,568 Here, buried deep under a hill, 404 00:21:36,604 --> 00:21:39,138 lies Emperor Qin Shi Huang. 405 00:21:39,173 --> 00:21:42,875 Undisturbed for more than 2,000 years, 406 00:21:42,910 --> 00:21:45,010 his tomb is best known 407 00:21:45,046 --> 00:21:48,313 for the discovery of thousands of Terra-cotta Warriors. 408 00:21:48,349 --> 00:21:52,484 But much of the massive underground structure 409 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,453 has not yet been excavated, 410 00:21:54,488 --> 00:21:56,588 due to high levels of mercury. 411 00:21:58,993 --> 00:22:00,526 If somebody were to ask me, 412 00:22:00,561 --> 00:22:02,361 "What is the most fantastic archaeological site 413 00:22:02,396 --> 00:22:04,129 on the planet Earth?", 414 00:22:04,165 --> 00:22:06,532 my answer would be simple and it would be quick: 415 00:22:06,567 --> 00:22:09,034 it's the tomb of Emperor Qin. 416 00:22:09,070 --> 00:22:12,404 Writings from the time of Emperor Qin, 417 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,139 second century BC, 418 00:22:14,175 --> 00:22:17,843 told us that this guy was buried in a tomb 419 00:22:17,878 --> 00:22:22,047 that had a scale model of China inside of it, 420 00:22:22,083 --> 00:22:25,551 with flowing rivers of mercury moving around the cities 421 00:22:25,586 --> 00:22:28,120 that were built in scale models. 422 00:22:30,424 --> 00:22:33,559 NARRATOR: Is it coincidence that an ancient tomb in China 423 00:22:33,594 --> 00:22:35,928 and an ancient temple in Mexico 424 00:22:35,963 --> 00:22:39,598 both contain liquid mercury? 425 00:22:39,633 --> 00:22:43,268 Curiously, much like the Aztec story 426 00:22:43,304 --> 00:22:45,604 of Quetzalcoatl coming down from the sky, 427 00:22:45,639 --> 00:22:49,408 the Chinese say the ancestor of Qin Shi Huang-- 428 00:22:49,443 --> 00:22:51,043 the Yellow Emperor-- 429 00:22:51,078 --> 00:22:53,479 descended from the heavens on a dragon. 430 00:22:56,083 --> 00:22:58,984 According to some mythological accounts, 431 00:22:59,019 --> 00:23:02,588 the Yellow Emperor was riding around on a dragon 432 00:23:02,623 --> 00:23:05,090 when he saw the people of Earth in need. 433 00:23:05,126 --> 00:23:08,727 And so he descended from the heavens to help them. 434 00:23:08,763 --> 00:23:11,029 NARRATOR: According to Chinese myth, 435 00:23:11,065 --> 00:23:13,398 after ruling for 100 years, 436 00:23:13,434 --> 00:23:17,703 the Yellow Emperor called for the return of the dragon. 437 00:23:17,738 --> 00:23:20,939 WILCOCK: 70 different people from his own staff 438 00:23:20,975 --> 00:23:25,477 all got on board this dragon and flew away. 439 00:23:25,513 --> 00:23:27,546 The dragon is said to travel vast distances 440 00:23:27,581 --> 00:23:29,381 in short periods of time. 441 00:23:29,416 --> 00:23:32,518 So the yellow dragon does appear to be 442 00:23:32,553 --> 00:23:33,952 a very large spacecraft, 443 00:23:33,988 --> 00:23:36,355 traveling at extraordinary speed, 444 00:23:36,390 --> 00:23:39,057 and all of the events that I'm describing to you 445 00:23:39,093 --> 00:23:42,528 actually did take place in physical, tangible reality. 446 00:23:42,563 --> 00:23:47,199 Liquid mercury is such an obscure substance. 447 00:23:47,234 --> 00:23:51,003 So how do we account for both the ancient Aztecs 448 00:23:51,038 --> 00:23:54,439 and the Chinese creating rivers of mercury 449 00:23:54,475 --> 00:23:57,176 in the tombs of some of their greatest figures, 450 00:23:57,211 --> 00:24:00,245 unless they know the hidden secrets of the substance, 451 00:24:00,281 --> 00:24:03,749 hidden secrets that were taught to them by extraterrestrials? 452 00:24:06,587 --> 00:24:09,321 NARRATOR: Is it possible that the Aztec story 453 00:24:09,356 --> 00:24:11,523 of a flying feathered serpent 454 00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:12,925 and the Chinese story 455 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,594 of a dragon coming down from the sky 456 00:24:15,629 --> 00:24:19,031 are both describing alien spacecraft? 457 00:24:21,669 --> 00:24:24,069 And is this why liquid mercury 458 00:24:24,104 --> 00:24:27,773 has been found in tombs both in Mexico and China? 459 00:24:29,276 --> 00:24:32,277 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 460 00:24:32,313 --> 00:24:35,514 and propose even more compelling evidence 461 00:24:35,549 --> 00:24:39,218 that our ancestors encountered otherworldly technology 462 00:24:39,253 --> 00:24:43,088 might lie high in the mountains of Peru, 463 00:24:43,123 --> 00:24:46,124 hidden beneath the earth. 464 00:24:50,731 --> 00:24:54,333 COLLINS: Equipment detected that there was metal 465 00:24:54,368 --> 00:24:57,169 inside this hidden chamber. 466 00:24:57,204 --> 00:25:00,639 HENRY: We're talking about being able to recover the power 467 00:25:00,674 --> 00:25:02,908 that Pachacutec possessed. 468 00:25:08,090 --> 00:25:09,823 NARRATOR: Machu Picchu, Peru. 469 00:25:12,561 --> 00:25:15,562 This stone citadel of the Inca civilization 470 00:25:15,597 --> 00:25:18,398 was built high in the Andes Mountains 471 00:25:18,434 --> 00:25:20,767 around 1450 AD, 472 00:25:20,803 --> 00:25:24,438 but was suddenly and mysteriously abandoned 473 00:25:24,473 --> 00:25:26,273 roughly a century later. 474 00:25:27,676 --> 00:25:29,743 Mainstream scholars contend 475 00:25:29,778 --> 00:25:31,745 the construction of Machu Picchu 476 00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:34,681 was led by Emperor Pachacutec 477 00:25:34,716 --> 00:25:36,450 and took thousands of men 478 00:25:36,485 --> 00:25:38,652 working decades to complete. 479 00:25:41,490 --> 00:25:43,757 But ancient astronaut theorists suggest 480 00:25:43,792 --> 00:25:46,092 that the precise construction, 481 00:25:46,128 --> 00:25:48,728 the transportation of massive blocks 482 00:25:48,764 --> 00:25:49,830 and the Incas' own accounts 483 00:25:49,865 --> 00:25:52,732 all point to a very different 484 00:25:52,768 --> 00:25:55,168 explanation for Machu Picchu: 485 00:25:55,204 --> 00:25:57,437 That it was built with the help 486 00:25:57,473 --> 00:25:59,973 of otherworldly beings. 487 00:26:00,008 --> 00:26:03,310 Emperor Pachacutec was believed to have had 488 00:26:03,345 --> 00:26:05,912 a special bond with the god Viracocha. 489 00:26:05,948 --> 00:26:09,816 ED BARNHART: Pachacutec, in the days leading up 490 00:26:09,852 --> 00:26:12,419 to the great battle against the Chanka, 491 00:26:12,454 --> 00:26:14,287 he takes kind of a retreat. 492 00:26:14,323 --> 00:26:16,022 He goes to a lake. 493 00:26:16,058 --> 00:26:20,494 And out of the sky drops this piece of metal 494 00:26:20,562 --> 00:26:22,863 into the lake. 495 00:26:22,898 --> 00:26:26,099 When he fishes it out of the lake, it's a mirror. 496 00:26:26,134 --> 00:26:28,468 And he sees an image in the mirror. 497 00:26:30,072 --> 00:26:33,440 This supernatural creature in the mirror tells him, 498 00:26:33,475 --> 00:26:35,141 "I am your father. 499 00:26:35,177 --> 00:26:38,278 "You will win many battles in your lifetime, 500 00:26:38,313 --> 00:26:39,946 this one included." 501 00:26:39,982 --> 00:26:43,717 The image is actually Viracocha, the creator deity. 502 00:26:43,752 --> 00:26:46,820 And then as Pachacutec stood 503 00:26:46,855 --> 00:26:49,356 with his vastly smaller army, 504 00:26:49,391 --> 00:26:52,726 these giant megalithic stones came to life 505 00:26:52,761 --> 00:26:55,729 and became his army, and crushed the Chanka. 506 00:26:57,833 --> 00:27:02,669 Pachacutec actually had the power of Viracocha behind him. 507 00:27:02,704 --> 00:27:04,271 It makes one wonder 508 00:27:04,306 --> 00:27:07,340 if, in fact, this was extraterrestrial technology. 509 00:27:07,376 --> 00:27:09,209 NARRATOR: Could the story 510 00:27:09,244 --> 00:27:13,680 of Pachacutec levitating massive stones be true? 511 00:27:13,715 --> 00:27:16,550 And might the mirror that fell from the sky 512 00:27:16,585 --> 00:27:19,753 have been some type of alien technology? 513 00:27:19,788 --> 00:27:23,657 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes 514 00:27:23,692 --> 00:27:28,161 and suggest a new discovery at Machu Picchu may reveal 515 00:27:28,196 --> 00:27:31,431 what happened to this otherworldly device. 516 00:27:31,466 --> 00:27:33,400 Â♪ Â♪ 517 00:27:33,435 --> 00:27:36,336 French engineer David Crespy was vacationing 518 00:27:36,371 --> 00:27:40,340 in Machu Picchu in 2010, when he discovered 519 00:27:40,375 --> 00:27:42,509 that at the bottom of one of the main buildings, 520 00:27:42,544 --> 00:27:45,278 there seemed to be a doorway, 521 00:27:45,314 --> 00:27:48,014 purposely sealed up with rocks. 522 00:27:48,050 --> 00:27:52,018 In August of 2011, he reached out 523 00:27:52,054 --> 00:27:56,089 to Thierry Jamin, a French archaeologist 524 00:27:56,124 --> 00:27:59,326 that has been studying Peru and the Incan Empire 525 00:27:59,361 --> 00:28:01,628 for more than 15 years. 526 00:28:01,663 --> 00:28:03,463 Within a month, 527 00:28:03,498 --> 00:28:06,466 Thierry started his own investigation 528 00:28:06,501 --> 00:28:10,770 with local archaeologists and specialists in funerary sites. 529 00:28:10,806 --> 00:28:14,207 Thierry and radar technician Ricardo Hamada 530 00:28:14,242 --> 00:28:17,711 took a scan from above the blocked entrance 531 00:28:17,746 --> 00:28:19,679 with ground-penetrating radar. 532 00:28:19,715 --> 00:28:24,517 The image on the radar detector reveals a large cavity, 533 00:28:24,553 --> 00:28:27,954 and the broken lines indicate there may also be stairs 534 00:28:27,990 --> 00:28:32,826 leading even further down into the earth. 535 00:28:32,861 --> 00:28:35,795 Other equipment detected 536 00:28:35,831 --> 00:28:40,400 that there was metals inside this hidden chamber. 537 00:28:40,435 --> 00:28:43,303 Gold, silver, 538 00:28:43,338 --> 00:28:46,406 and other types of metallic objects, 539 00:28:46,441 --> 00:28:48,308 suggesting very strongly 540 00:28:48,343 --> 00:28:52,579 that we're dealing with some kind of a tomb. 541 00:28:52,614 --> 00:28:56,683 NARRATOR: Although Thierry has confirmed Crespy's suspicions 542 00:28:56,718 --> 00:28:59,252 that the odd structure was an entrance 543 00:28:59,287 --> 00:29:02,422 sealed off at some point by the Incas, 544 00:29:02,457 --> 00:29:05,291 the Peruvian authorities have since banned his return 545 00:29:05,327 --> 00:29:08,461 to the site for further investigations. 546 00:29:08,497 --> 00:29:10,330 (Thierry Jamin speaking Spanish) 547 00:29:10,365 --> 00:29:12,165 TRANSLATOR: All of the iconographic 548 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,768 and archaeological elements show us 549 00:29:14,803 --> 00:29:16,102 that this is all associated 550 00:29:16,138 --> 00:29:20,407 with the mausoleum of Pachacutec. 551 00:29:20,442 --> 00:29:23,543 Maybe the most important archaeological treasure 552 00:29:23,578 --> 00:29:26,513 ever found in Machu Picchu. 553 00:29:26,548 --> 00:29:29,616 NARRATOR: Could the tomb of Pachacutec 554 00:29:29,651 --> 00:29:32,085 lie beyond these rocks? 555 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,523 And is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, 556 00:29:36,558 --> 00:29:40,593 that it might also contain advanced technology, 557 00:29:40,629 --> 00:29:44,564 the so-called "magic mirror" that was said to have been given 558 00:29:44,599 --> 00:29:47,934 to Pachacutec by the creator god Viracocha? 559 00:29:50,005 --> 00:29:53,006 HENRY: We're talking about the emperor as having 560 00:29:53,041 --> 00:29:55,909 a connection with this extraterrestrial being. 561 00:29:57,479 --> 00:29:58,611 Now think about it. 562 00:29:58,647 --> 00:30:00,814 If-if we're talking about recovering 563 00:30:00,849 --> 00:30:03,583 his tomb and his artifacts, 564 00:30:03,618 --> 00:30:05,985 then we're talking about ultimately being able 565 00:30:06,021 --> 00:30:09,589 to recover the power that Pachacutec possessed. 566 00:30:11,893 --> 00:30:14,494 And what we're going to be seeing here is, I believe, 567 00:30:14,529 --> 00:30:16,763 ironclad evidence emerging 568 00:30:16,798 --> 00:30:20,800 of extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs. 569 00:30:20,836 --> 00:30:22,836 NARRATOR: When the underground chamber 570 00:30:22,871 --> 00:30:25,839 found at Machu Picchu is excavated, 571 00:30:25,874 --> 00:30:28,908 will we discover undeniable proof 572 00:30:28,944 --> 00:30:30,677 that this site was constructed 573 00:30:30,712 --> 00:30:33,113 with extraterrestrial technology? 574 00:30:33,148 --> 00:30:36,049 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 575 00:30:36,084 --> 00:30:38,518 further evidence can be found 576 00:30:38,553 --> 00:30:42,021 by examining newly discovered Nazca Lines 577 00:30:42,057 --> 00:30:44,691 as well as similar geoglyphs 578 00:30:44,726 --> 00:30:47,560 found on the other side of the world. 579 00:30:52,067 --> 00:30:53,867 BRIEN FOERSTER: They're much more complex 580 00:30:53,902 --> 00:30:55,135 than the Nazca geoglyphs 581 00:30:55,170 --> 00:30:57,036 in that they are three-dimensional. 582 00:30:57,072 --> 00:30:58,471 COLLINS: This could've been 583 00:30:58,507 --> 00:31:02,642 some huge, great, megalithic stone setting. 584 00:31:07,775 --> 00:31:09,508 NARRATOR: Nazca, Peru. 585 00:31:10,911 --> 00:31:13,645 First discovered in 1927, 586 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,014 the Nazca Lines consist 587 00:31:16,049 --> 00:31:18,316 of hundreds of designs known as geoglyphs, 588 00:31:18,352 --> 00:31:21,086 that can only be seen from above. 589 00:31:22,956 --> 00:31:24,956 Scattered over 200 square miles 590 00:31:24,992 --> 00:31:27,225 in southern Peru, 591 00:31:27,261 --> 00:31:30,762 mainstream archaeologists believe the figures were created 592 00:31:30,798 --> 00:31:32,297 by the ancient Nazca people 593 00:31:32,332 --> 00:31:36,268 sometime between the first and eighth centuries AD. 594 00:31:37,671 --> 00:31:39,237 Ancient astronaut theorists 595 00:31:39,273 --> 00:31:42,941 have been studying the Nazca Lines for years. 596 00:31:42,976 --> 00:31:45,310 and they say new evidence proves 597 00:31:45,345 --> 00:31:48,246 that aliens not only visited Nazca, 598 00:31:48,282 --> 00:31:51,716 but continued to return there over the centuries. 599 00:31:54,087 --> 00:31:57,923 On July 7, 2015, 600 00:31:57,958 --> 00:32:02,060 a team of anthropologists from Yamagata University in Japan 601 00:32:02,095 --> 00:32:05,864 revealed they had found new Nazca lines 602 00:32:05,899 --> 00:32:08,733 that, due to erosion, are impossible to make out 603 00:32:08,769 --> 00:32:10,068 with the naked eye. 604 00:32:11,738 --> 00:32:12,904 By conducting 605 00:32:12,940 --> 00:32:14,906 a three-dimensional scan of the ground, 606 00:32:14,942 --> 00:32:18,143 they uncovered a total of 24 images, 607 00:32:18,178 --> 00:32:21,780 including strange-looking humanoid figures, 608 00:32:21,815 --> 00:32:26,651 a disembodied head and a llama 65 feet long. 609 00:32:29,022 --> 00:32:31,356 According to their findings, 610 00:32:31,391 --> 00:32:35,760 the new geoglyphs date from 400 to 200 BC, 611 00:32:35,796 --> 00:32:38,196 making them hundreds of years older 612 00:32:38,232 --> 00:32:41,233 than those previously discovered. 613 00:32:41,268 --> 00:32:45,070 These new finds are instrumental in showing 614 00:32:45,105 --> 00:32:48,940 the duration of which these types of modifications 615 00:32:48,976 --> 00:32:50,942 were going on, on the desert floor, 616 00:32:50,978 --> 00:32:52,844 for hundreds and hundreds of years, 617 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,146 involving different cultures, 618 00:32:55,182 --> 00:32:58,216 with different motivations and different depictions. 619 00:32:58,252 --> 00:33:01,686 It would seem to be all of the cultures 620 00:33:01,722 --> 00:33:05,123 were trying to signal some kind of sky people 621 00:33:05,158 --> 00:33:09,294 and probably, over time, were trying 622 00:33:09,329 --> 00:33:12,197 to induce them to come back down from the sky 623 00:33:12,232 --> 00:33:14,633 and land their ships. 624 00:33:14,668 --> 00:33:16,334 You have to wonder then if, 625 00:33:16,370 --> 00:33:19,738 with at least four successive cultures doing this, 626 00:33:19,773 --> 00:33:23,942 that you would think they must have had some success. 627 00:33:23,977 --> 00:33:28,813 NARRATOR: Some ancient astronaut theorists have even suggested 628 00:33:28,849 --> 00:33:32,851 that the discovery of older Nazca lines may indicate 629 00:33:32,886 --> 00:33:35,921 that the people responsible for the later geoglyphs 630 00:33:35,956 --> 00:33:38,323 were imitating what was originally made 631 00:33:38,358 --> 00:33:41,927 by the extraterrestrials themselves. 632 00:33:41,962 --> 00:33:43,728 JASON MARTELL: So the question starts to rise is: 633 00:33:43,764 --> 00:33:47,799 were various different people coming to Nazca 634 00:33:47,834 --> 00:33:50,802 to make these petroglyphs and these large diagrams? 635 00:33:50,837 --> 00:33:54,172 Or were they possibly recreating some initial experiment 636 00:33:54,207 --> 00:33:58,777 or some initial thing that took place? 637 00:33:58,812 --> 00:34:00,812 What if some of the early cultures in Nazca 638 00:34:00,847 --> 00:34:03,882 actually experienced interaction with beings 639 00:34:03,917 --> 00:34:07,819 that were creating edifices that can only be seen from the sky, 640 00:34:07,854 --> 00:34:10,021 and the only way to get to lure them back 641 00:34:10,057 --> 00:34:12,223 was to create these ways to communicate 642 00:34:12,259 --> 00:34:13,925 from an aerial perspective? 643 00:34:16,430 --> 00:34:18,363 NARRATOR: For decades, it was thought 644 00:34:18,398 --> 00:34:22,033 that there was no other place on Earth like Nazca, 645 00:34:22,069 --> 00:34:25,670 but recently, a shocking discovery was made 646 00:34:25,706 --> 00:34:28,907 on the opposite side of the globe. 647 00:34:28,942 --> 00:34:31,142 NARRATOR: Turgay, Kazakhstan. 648 00:34:31,178 --> 00:34:33,745 October, 2015. 649 00:34:35,449 --> 00:34:37,415 Using satellite photography, 650 00:34:37,451 --> 00:34:40,185 NASA captures images 651 00:34:40,220 --> 00:34:42,287 of more than 260 geoglyphs 652 00:34:42,322 --> 00:34:43,922 covering the ground here. 653 00:34:45,859 --> 00:34:49,928 They're located in a very rural part of Kazakhstan 654 00:34:49,963 --> 00:34:53,331 and they could only be found thanks to modern technology. 655 00:34:53,367 --> 00:34:56,935 They are much more complex than the Nazca geoglyphs 656 00:34:56,970 --> 00:34:59,371 in that they are three-dimensional. 657 00:34:59,406 --> 00:35:02,240 They are mounds and trenches, 658 00:35:02,275 --> 00:35:04,042 whereas the Nazca Lines 659 00:35:04,077 --> 00:35:06,344 are etchings in the sand. 660 00:35:06,380 --> 00:35:08,747 COLLINS: We're talking here 661 00:35:08,782 --> 00:35:10,949 about massive features 662 00:35:10,984 --> 00:35:14,085 that are constructed from earthen mounds 663 00:35:14,121 --> 00:35:15,720 and also from wood, 664 00:35:15,756 --> 00:35:20,892 showing everything from rings, to squares, 665 00:35:20,927 --> 00:35:24,963 to crosses and even swastikas that are on the ground. 666 00:35:28,168 --> 00:35:31,603 NARRATOR: The archaeologists in the area have no idea 667 00:35:31,638 --> 00:35:35,540 who made the geoglyphs or what they represent. 668 00:35:35,575 --> 00:35:38,877 But one fact they have been able to determine 669 00:35:38,912 --> 00:35:43,314 is that some of these glyphs date back 8,000 years-- 670 00:35:43,350 --> 00:35:46,785 nearly 6,000 years older 671 00:35:46,820 --> 00:35:50,355 than the Nazca lines. 672 00:35:50,390 --> 00:35:53,425 Since these can be dated to almost 8,000 years old, 673 00:35:53,460 --> 00:35:56,394 we have to wonder who they were trying to communicate with. 674 00:35:56,430 --> 00:35:58,196 Could it have been, possibly, 675 00:35:58,231 --> 00:36:03,168 what a lot of these ancient cultures referred to as gods? 676 00:36:03,203 --> 00:36:05,370 I think the fact that we're finding 677 00:36:05,405 --> 00:36:07,972 more and more of these symbols 678 00:36:08,008 --> 00:36:12,444 simply tell us that the humankind, at that time, 679 00:36:12,479 --> 00:36:14,479 tried to communicate with 680 00:36:14,514 --> 00:36:16,881 what they thought were the gods from above. 681 00:36:19,820 --> 00:36:21,152 NARRATOR: Could the new geoglyphs 682 00:36:21,188 --> 00:36:23,021 found in Kazakhstan 683 00:36:23,056 --> 00:36:25,390 be evidence that our ancestors encountered 684 00:36:25,425 --> 00:36:30,862 extraterrestrial visitors as much as 8,000 years ago? 685 00:36:30,897 --> 00:36:34,032 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 686 00:36:34,067 --> 00:36:38,670 and suggest that these glyphs may prove to have been made 687 00:36:38,705 --> 00:36:42,240 at the same time as the newly discovered Superhenge... 688 00:36:43,944 --> 00:36:46,411 ...because, while Stonehenge is considered to be 689 00:36:46,446 --> 00:36:49,280 at least 5,000 years old, 690 00:36:49,316 --> 00:36:52,851 some believe the buried monoliths of Superhenge 691 00:36:52,886 --> 00:36:55,520 could be much, much older. 692 00:36:55,555 --> 00:36:59,724 Stonehenge is only one small part 693 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,394 of a gigantic archeological puzzle. 694 00:37:03,430 --> 00:37:06,364 Now, we, today, 695 00:37:06,399 --> 00:37:09,134 we must stumble over these stone circles, 696 00:37:09,169 --> 00:37:10,635 over these stone lines. 697 00:37:10,670 --> 00:37:13,071 And automatically, we have to ask questions: 698 00:37:13,106 --> 00:37:14,339 What is it? 699 00:37:14,374 --> 00:37:16,307 How have they done it? 700 00:37:16,343 --> 00:37:17,942 For what purpose? 701 00:37:17,978 --> 00:37:21,045 And sooner or later, we came up with the question: 702 00:37:21,081 --> 00:37:23,915 Is there maybe a message by the extraterrestrials? 703 00:37:27,287 --> 00:37:28,653 NARRATOR: Is it possible 704 00:37:28,688 --> 00:37:31,389 that the geoglyphs recently discovered 705 00:37:31,424 --> 00:37:32,924 in Nazca and Kazakhstan 706 00:37:32,959 --> 00:37:34,993 are tied to not only 707 00:37:35,028 --> 00:37:36,995 the new discovery of Superhenge in England, 708 00:37:37,030 --> 00:37:41,499 but also to other mysterious sites around the world 709 00:37:41,535 --> 00:37:44,068 that were made to be seen from the sky? 710 00:37:46,039 --> 00:37:49,007 If so, could evidence that these markers 711 00:37:49,042 --> 00:37:52,076 were intended for extraterrestrial visitors 712 00:37:52,112 --> 00:37:53,845 be hidden beneath the earth 713 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,650 in Mexico, Peru, China and Egypt? 714 00:37:58,685 --> 00:38:02,253 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, 715 00:38:02,289 --> 00:38:04,522 and suggest that we are on the verge 716 00:38:04,558 --> 00:38:09,027 of uncovering the ultimate proof of alien contact. 717 00:38:09,062 --> 00:38:10,161 (electronic blipping) 718 00:38:13,908 --> 00:38:16,542 NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists argue 719 00:38:16,578 --> 00:38:19,545 that in recent times, the mainstream 720 00:38:19,581 --> 00:38:21,013 has dismissed the possibility 721 00:38:21,049 --> 00:38:23,583 that another race of advanced beings 722 00:38:23,618 --> 00:38:26,986 came to Earth in the distant past, 723 00:38:27,021 --> 00:38:30,523 even though the signs are all around us. 724 00:38:30,558 --> 00:38:34,460 ELLIOT HILL: Experts believe a series of mysterious objects 725 00:38:34,496 --> 00:38:36,062 surrounding a giant star 726 00:38:36,097 --> 00:38:38,898 could be, Mark, an alien megastructure. 727 00:38:38,933 --> 00:38:40,500 1,500 light years from Earth, 728 00:38:40,535 --> 00:38:42,068 signals are blasting 729 00:38:42,103 --> 00:38:46,739 from the star KIC-84-62-85-2. 730 00:38:46,775 --> 00:38:48,541 It could be a... giant solar panels 731 00:38:48,576 --> 00:38:50,576 built by an alien civilization. 732 00:38:50,612 --> 00:38:52,612 REPORTER: Thousands of miles away 733 00:38:52,647 --> 00:38:55,648 in a cave in South Africa, archaeologists discovered 734 00:38:55,683 --> 00:38:58,618 hundreds of ancient bones and a new human ancestor. 735 00:38:58,653 --> 00:39:02,355 NARRATOR: As more and more new evidence pours in, 736 00:39:02,390 --> 00:39:05,024 is ancient astronaut theory nearing a point 737 00:39:05,059 --> 00:39:08,127 where it will be considered by mainstream scholars 738 00:39:08,163 --> 00:39:11,998 as a serious possibility? 739 00:39:12,033 --> 00:39:13,533 Great thinkers like Galileo 740 00:39:13,568 --> 00:39:16,436 are dismissed as fools and heretics. 741 00:39:16,471 --> 00:39:18,571 They were the ones that had the right idea, 742 00:39:18,606 --> 00:39:20,706 but new ideas are not accepted easily. 743 00:39:22,143 --> 00:39:23,976 For centuries, it was believed 744 00:39:24,012 --> 00:39:26,212 that the Earth was flat. 745 00:39:26,247 --> 00:39:27,613 We are a stubborn people. 746 00:39:29,017 --> 00:39:31,217 NOORY: As we evolve as a humankind, 747 00:39:31,252 --> 00:39:34,487 we are going to realize that what we were taught in the past 748 00:39:34,522 --> 00:39:36,989 may not be what is going to be in the future. 749 00:39:38,693 --> 00:39:40,426 We're gonna continue to learn 750 00:39:40,462 --> 00:39:44,096 new things about past civilizations, 751 00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:46,165 and new things of what could've been 752 00:39:46,201 --> 00:39:48,568 future civilizations, as well. 753 00:39:48,603 --> 00:39:51,604 And you've got to conclude 754 00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:53,673 that we are not alone in the universe, 755 00:39:53,708 --> 00:39:55,608 and that we've been visited, 756 00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:57,743 and we continue to be visited. 757 00:39:57,779 --> 00:40:01,013 With the technology that has been 758 00:40:01,049 --> 00:40:03,649 and is being developed at the moment, 759 00:40:03,685 --> 00:40:08,254 ultimately, archaeology will have no other choice 760 00:40:08,289 --> 00:40:10,189 but to accept the fact 761 00:40:10,225 --> 00:40:13,025 that we have been visited by extraterrestrials 762 00:40:13,061 --> 00:40:16,162 in the remote past. 763 00:40:16,197 --> 00:40:19,665 For me, personally, I think that these extraterrestrials, 764 00:40:19,701 --> 00:40:22,034 they left a purpose. 765 00:40:22,070 --> 00:40:24,537 I call it something like a time capsule. 766 00:40:24,572 --> 00:40:27,373 That's why they made 767 00:40:27,408 --> 00:40:30,543 these gigantic stone circles and stone lines. 768 00:40:30,578 --> 00:40:33,613 It was addressed to us. 769 00:40:33,648 --> 00:40:36,582 And we should ask, who were these extraterrestrials? 770 00:40:36,618 --> 00:40:38,518 Where did they come from? 771 00:40:38,553 --> 00:40:39,619 What was the reason? 772 00:40:39,654 --> 00:40:42,054 Will they come down again? 773 00:40:42,090 --> 00:40:44,991 I'm sure they will show up. 774 00:40:45,026 --> 00:40:48,227 We are now living in a paradigm shift 775 00:40:48,263 --> 00:40:50,630 in which the new evidence is upholding 776 00:40:50,665 --> 00:40:53,032 an older and ancient idea 777 00:40:53,067 --> 00:40:56,002 that extraterrestrials came to Earth 778 00:40:56,037 --> 00:40:59,472 and had a huge influence on human affairs. 779 00:40:59,507 --> 00:41:01,374 And that ultimately, our future depends 780 00:41:01,409 --> 00:41:03,142 on our involvement with these beings, as well. 781 00:41:05,747 --> 00:41:08,948 NARRATOR: As technology continues to improve, 782 00:41:08,983 --> 00:41:11,684 will irrefutable evidence be uncovered 783 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:14,820 of extraterrestrial intervention on Earth? 784 00:41:16,524 --> 00:41:18,691 Evidence that world governments 785 00:41:18,726 --> 00:41:21,494 have been hiding from us for decades? 786 00:41:21,529 --> 00:41:24,397 Could the smoking gun be concealed 787 00:41:24,432 --> 00:41:26,699 behind a tomb wall, 788 00:41:26,734 --> 00:41:29,936 hidden away in an ancient temple, 789 00:41:29,971 --> 00:41:33,639 or even buried right under our feet? 790 00:41:33,675 --> 00:41:38,244 If otherworldly beings really have been observing us, 791 00:41:38,279 --> 00:41:41,480 perhaps as we get closer to the truth, 792 00:41:41,516 --> 00:41:45,651 the proof will come not in the form of an artifact 793 00:41:45,687 --> 00:41:47,720 or scientific discovery, 794 00:41:47,755 --> 00:41:50,723 but in face-to-face contact 795 00:41:50,758 --> 00:41:53,659 with our alien ancestors. 796 00:41:55,496 --> 00:41:57,463 CAPTIONING PROVIDED BY A+E NETWORKS 797 00:41:59,564 -->
