>> NARRATOR: Perhaps the most
famous, or infamous, of all the
world's mysterious places is the
Bermuda Triangle.
For decades, this stretch of
ocean, covering over 500,000
square miles, located between
Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda,
has baffled scientists,
experienced sailors, and even
military investigators.
>> PHILIP COPPENS: Planes
disappearing, various kinds of
strange lights being seen, a
whole bunch of weirdness, all
conglomerating into this very
tight corner of the Atlantic.
>> MICHAEL BARA: Ships that have
shown up absolutely empty.
No sign of any struggle, and
yet the crew has just vanished.
>> GIAN QUASAR: This is
something that's very real.
They exist in records, and now
that they're all gone, in fair
weather.
That is not supernatural
phenomenon to me.
That is something unexplained.
>> NARRATOR: What caused ships
and planes to disappear without
a trace?
Why has aeronautical and
navigational equipment stopped
working or changed course by
itself?
Historical shipping records show
that the mysteries of the
Bermuda Triangle are much older
than many people realize.
Ever since the earliest days of
oceanic exploration, sailors
have witnessed strange sights.
>> JASON MARTELL: Really, the
awareness of the Bermuda
Triangle started with
Christopher Columbus, being such
an esoteric navigator and a
well-respected sailor, his log
traversing to the New World is
very accurate.
And it turns out, just as
Columbus got into the area known
as the Bermuda Triangle, he
recorded having compass
malfunctions.
The following night he saw a
large fireball hit the ocean.
>> COPPENS: He saw strange
lights, he saw strange weather
phenomena happening there.
So it's definitely a case that
the story of the Bermuda
Triangle is not just some
modern or some urban myth at
the threshold of the 21st
century, it is as old as there
are accounts of people going
into that area.
>> NARRATOR: About 450 years
after Columbus, on December 5,
1945, the U.S. military
experienced the Bermuda
Triangle's most perplexing
mystery.
At 2:00 in the afternoon, five
U.S. Navy torpedo bombers flew
from a naval base in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, on a
routine training exercise.
But not long into the two-hour
mission, all five planes were
suddenly gone.
The mystery was compounded when
the Navy sent out a rescue plane
and it, too, disappeared.
Six planes, all flown by
skilled pilots, had vanished
into oblivion.
>> QUASAR: That struck everybody
as very odd.
This was now the modern era--
we have radar, we have radio,
and still five aircraft
vanished.
>> COPPENS: Now, the question
is, where have all of them gone?
It really is as if they have
been snapped out of our reality
into something else.
And, of course, what that
something is, that's the
mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.
>> NARRATOR: Over the years, few
have lived to tell of any
strange anomalies that have
occurred to them in the Bermuda
Triangle.
But American pilot Bruce Gernon
is an exception.
In 1970, Gernon, his father and
a business associate were
flying from the Bahamas to
Florida when Gernon reported
seeing a strange cloud directly
out in front of their plane.
Then, as he approached, Gernon
claims the cloud formed a
donut-shaped hole, or vortex.
>> GERNON: The tunnel was huge
at first, but then it started
getting smaller rapidly.
When I penetrated into the
tunnel, an incredible thing
happened.
These lines instantly formed.
It was like looking down a
rifle barrel, because the lines
were swirling slowly
counterclockwise.
I encountered some intense
electricity.
There were, like, flashes going
on and off.
And all I could see was this
strange grayish-yellowish fog.
I call it "electronic fog."
I noticed that my instruments
were malfunctioning, and at the
same time, I'm feeling this
unbelievable sensation.
>> NARRATOR: Gernon says when he
finally exited the tunnel, he
radioed Miami air traffic
control, but they couldn't find
his plane on their radar screen.
>> GERNON: And then about
three minutes later, the radar
controller came back on the
radio, and he's all excited.
He had identified me over Miami,
and I couldn't believe it,
'cause I'd only been flying for
33 minutes.
It should've been more like
an hour and three minutes.
>> NARRATOR: Could such a
discrepancy in time and
location really happen?
And could extraterrestrials be
using this kind of gateway to
travel to Earth?
According to Albert Einstein's
General Theory of Relativity,
it is possible.
>> MARTELL: Through Einstein's
principles of being able to
bend space using a gravitational
pull, it's very possible that
extraterrestrial craft could
somehow get a higher charge of
energy from these locations,
like the Bermuda Triangle, which
allow them to do a burst of
energy, if you will, a warp
speed, and harness some type of
extra particles or energies from
these locations to get them
where they're trying to go.
>> BARA: What happens is, is
that any time you have energy
generated at all, especially
from a higher plane, a higher
dimension, it's going to come
out by spin.
It's going to be rotation and
spin that allows that energy to
gate through.
So, by definition, such energy
emissions are going to be
vortexes.
So a vortex and a gateway are
the same thing.
>> NARRATOR: Since wormholes are
theoretically located
throughout the universe, could
these same types of gateways
exist in smaller areas on Earth?
If so, are strange
electromagnetic levels the key
to discovering them?
>> QUASAR: Completely
unconnected people report the
same thing, and it always has
something to do with
electromagnetic phenomenon,
usually involving an
unexplained vapor or cloud.
This phenomena indicated UFOs
materializing or
dematerializing in our
dimension.
>> CHILDRESS: It's quite
possible that the Bermuda
Triangle is exactly one such
interdimensional doorway that's
used by these aliens.
>> NARRATOR: With reports of
UFOs appearing, and ships and
planes disappearing, some claim
the Bermuda Triangle is a portal
that works in both directions.
So if, as ancient astronaut
theorists claim, otherworldly
visitors have been using them
to come here since ancient
times, might we someday use
this shortcut to visit them?
And if there really is a portal
in the open waters of the
Bermuda Triangle, might there
be others on land?
>> NARRATOR: 400 miles south of
El Paso, Texas, in northern
Mexico, stretches a remote and
rugged section of high desert.
This area, near the town of
Ceballos, is referred to by the
locals as the Zona del Silencio,
or the Zone of Silence.
It's an epicenter for some of
the strangest phenomena ever
experienced on Earth.
>> GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Nothing
works there.
If you go there with your cell
phone, the cell phone stops.
If you go with a radio, it
stops.
If you go there with a compass,
the needle just keeps spinning.
>> DAVID CHILDRESS: It's
completely bizarre.
There's strange rocks
everywhere.
You have strange mutated animals
living in the desert in this
area.
You feel a strange tingling
when you're there.
(wind whistling)
>> NARRATOR: The Zone of Silence
was first identified in the
1930s by Francisco Sarabia, a
Mexican pilot, who claimed that
his radio had mysteriously
failed to function while flying
over the area.
>> RUBEN URIARTE: They call it
Mexico's Bermuda Triangle.
It's located practically on the
same parallel-- the 28th and
26th parallel-- and as a result
of that, it goes and connects
with the Egyptian pyramids,
so, around that whole
sector, there seems to be some
connection between the Zone and
anomalies that occur through
these different parts of the
world.
>> SARA SEAGER: As a scientist,
you're trained to be skeptical,
or maybe you were born that way.
But we really don't believe
anything.
You know, nothing is proven
until you actually have
evidence.
I can say that Earth's magnetic
field does vary across the
surface by up to a few percent.
>> NARRATOR: One of the
strangest cases involving the
Zone of Silence took place on
July 11, 1970, when the U.S.
Air Force launched an Athena
missile...
from its military facility in
Green River, Utah.
The missile was programmed to
land 700 miles away at the
White Sands Missile Range
in New Mexico.
But for some unexplained reason,
the Athena missile flew hundreds
of miles past the White Sands
Range towards the Zone of
Silence.
>> BARA: Not only did it go off
course, it way overshot, as if
it had been picked up or yanked
or dragged or pulled into it.
There was a NASA spokesman who
even said it was weird.
It was like the thing just
got pulled into this area.
And it ended up crashing there
and breaking up into bits.
>> NARRATOR: But some claim this
missile is not the only thing
that's been mysteriously pulled
into the Zone of Silence.
Ancient alien theorists believe
an unusually large number of
meteorites have crashed here.
>> CHILDRESS: The evidence seems
to be indicating that the Zone
of Silence is some powerful
energy vortex area that's
literally sucking meteorites and
other space debris right into
this small area of northern
Mexico.
>> LOGAN HAWKES: There's a high
level of magnetism in the area.
That's been proven by science.
We know there's a magnetic
signature to the entire area.
Is it strong enough to attract
large objects like meteorites?
I think we need more research.
But I-I don't think that
research is being done right
now.
>> NARRATOR: Starting 3,000
years ago, the Anasazi culture
inhabited the region to the
north, in today's American
Southwest.
Anasazi means "ancient ones,"
and they paid great attention
to the stars.
Scientists have determined that,
in 1054 AD, a supernova
explosion was visible from
Earth.
Many believe the first known
drawing of this event was found
inside an Anasazi cave dwelling.
South of the Zone of Silence,
other cultures, including the
Maya, also reportedly possessed
a surprisingly detailed
knowledge of similar celestial
events.
Is it possible that both of
these cultures were somehow
exchanging information?
>> HAWKES: They're separated by
thousands of miles, but both
the Anasazi of the north, and
the Mesoamericans of the south
found the Zone of Silence and
used it as a meeting place
between their two cultures.
You could imagine if you studied
the stars at night and plotted
the constellations, obviously,
one of the things that you're
gog to see are these
meteorites streaking across
the sky.
If your answers come from the
sky, you probably would follow
those streaking meteorites and
find out where they ended up.
And the theory is that they may
have found what they were
looking for in the Zone of
Silence.
>> NARRATOR: But what other
connections exist between these
cultures?
And are they of a celestial
origin?
>> HAWKES: If we look back into
the ancient beliefs of the
Anasazi and the Mesoamericans
to the south, we know that
there was great belief in sky
people; visitors from the sky.
If these visitors came from the
sky, who were they?
>> MARTELL: And there's a
similarity to the beings being
reported as tall, pale-skinned,
white hair, which is not
indigenous to the dark-skinned,
dark-haired people found in that
region, but does match many of
the South American descriptions
of their gods.
>> NARRATOR: According to
legend, these so-called
"Visitors from the Sky" made
themselves known to an ancient
people.
Is it possible that they
are still making themselves
known today?
>> URIARTE: There are a number
of reports of UFOs in the Zone
of Silence.
>> HAWKES: Probably the most
prominent and most popular
report came out of the town of
Ceballos.
It was on a late summer
afternoon when a number of
townspeople saw an object
hovering in the sky on the
outskirts of town.
They described it as being
about 100 meters wide.
It had multicolored lights
flashing.
It wasn't doing anything.
It was just hovering in the
desert.
After a while, it simply took
off and headed out into the
Zone of Silence.
>> URIARTE: I think, too, that,
as what's going on today-- the
high activity UFO sightings, the
anomalous reports that are still
going on today-- perhaps there
is a connection.
Maybe it's a vortex.
Maybe it's a dimensional port.
We can't explain it, but
something unusual is going on
in that area.
>> NARRATOR: Might
extraterrestrials be able to
detect these magnetic
differences?
And would they have been of
any use to ancient visitors?
>> TSOUKALOS: If I was an alien
coming here 10,000 years ago,
obviously, there weren't any
roadmaps at the time.
However, I could use the
anomalous magnetic spots on
planet Earth as signposts of
sorts.
And so that when I come back,
those signposts would be my
guides to find my way around
planet Earth.
There are spots on planet Earth
that are highly magnetic.
(whooshing)
>> NARRATOR: But are the
magnetic levels...
the sky-god legends...
and recent sightings of UFOs...
proof that a portal exists
here?
And are there other places
that might offer more direct
physical evidence?
(sheep bleating)
(bleating)
>> NARRATOR: 800 miles
southeast of Lima, Peru, along
the shores of Lake Titicaca, is
a site that has mystified
visitors from around the world.
(soft, ringing tones)
>> ♪ Oh, ah... ♪
>> NARRATOR: Shamans still come
to perform rituals and offer
prayers at the rock wall on this
high plateau, as they have done
for generation after generation.
It is known as Puerta de Hayu
Marca, or "Gate of the Gods."
>> CHILDRESS: When you see
it, it's quite baffling.
Here is this giant doorway
carved into solid rock.
And it appears to be a gateway,
but it doesn't go anywhere.
>> TSOUKALOS: It's literally
in the middle of nowhere at
14,000 feet.
Yet that rock, as clear as you
can see, has a gigantic
rectangle carved out of it;
cut out of it.
And in the center of that
rectangle, at the bottom, there
is something that looks like a
door.
>> BARA: The Peruvian natives
actually refer to this as the
Gate of the Gods.
But why would you make a
doorway to, basically, rocks
that didn't let you go anywhere?
There has to be some way to get
through that doorway.
>> NARRATOR: According to Inca
legend, the first priest king,
Amaru Muru, is said to have
traveled through this portal
using a special object to
activate the doorway, turning
this solid rock into what's
known as a "star gate."
>> TSOUKALOS: According to
legend, this star gate was
activated by the help of a
golden disc.
And this golden disc fell from
the sky.
>> BARA: The story goes that
the first priest king of the
Incas took a golden disk up to
this Gate of the Gods, stuck it
in a special recessed area,
and this interdimensional
doorway actually opened up and
he passed through it, never to
be seen again.
The shaman that were there that
watched it, that witnessed the
whole thing and reported on it,
basically told that that was
exactly what happened.
>> NARRATOR: Archeologists who
have examined the Gate of the
Gods have discovered a small,
circular depression in the
center of the doorway.
Some people have speculated
that this depression was
perhaps where the golden disc
was placed.
>> COPPENS: It really is out
of the movies.
This device is said to have
been made of gold and of
various sort of precious
objects, and whoever had it
could come near this site and
somehow be able to operate it,
and then there would either be
contact with the gods, or the
gods would come to them.
>> TSOUKALOS: And we're all
lead to believe, oh, it's all
coincidence, it's all just
fantasy.
Rubbish.
Something happened, and in the
case of the star gate, it is
possible that this sun disc had
some type of an extraterrestrial
connection, and that this was a
technological device with which
to travel.
>> DAVID SEREDA: And that may
mean physically taking a person
and taking them into another
hidden dimension and taking them
back.
Or it may mean traveling
between Earth, going through
that star gate and going to
another place somewhere in the
universe.
>> NARRATOR: According to the
local legend, these priest-
kings, known as "space
brothers," reportedly came from
other worlds.
Might they have traveled here
through the Gate of the Gods?
>> JORGE LUIS DELGADO MAMANI:
They came from the other
constellations, from other
planets.
In our language we have a word
called Chakana, which is some
of the constellations, like the
Southern Cross, Orion Belt, or
Pleiades.
One of the elders said, "This is
the bridge to home.
So, in essence, all these
manifestations has to do with
the space brothers.
>> NARRATOR: But could a device
to activate this door actually
exist?
And if so, where would the
doorway lead?
According to ancient astronaut
theorists, the Gate of the Gods
is one end of a wormhole...
a type of portal that connects
either to another part of the
universe or another dimension.
>> THOMAS VALONE: A wormhole is
a theoretical construct through
General Relativity.
The concept is really that
there's a possibility of
space-time being connected;
various parts of space-time
being connected through a small
channel.
And if such a construct was
made, then you'd have a
shortcut between very distant
parts of the universe.
>> NARRATOR: Wormholes are an
accepted element of theoretical
physics.
But have they actually existed
in some of the world's most
mysterious places?
>> MARTELL: The idea that
there are star gates or that
they could have existed in
ancient times, we do see many
artifacts and representations
of someone passing through a
doorway or going through some
type of energy source, and
ancient man did not understand
technology, just as we're trying
to understand: Is a wormhole
possible?
>> CHILDRESS: It's some kind
of doorway between our
dimension and another.
And what I maintain is that
these aliens who are coming
here are coming here in
interdimensional type of craft.
They're able to jump through
hyperspace, come here to our
planet in no time at all, but
they have to enter through
certain doorways and portals,
into our planet.
>> SARA SEAGER: Dimensions
aren't really considered
something to travel along.
But dimensions are directions,
and if you could somehow travel
along these other dimensions,
it would take you somewhere
else entirely.
>> NARRATOR: What if one end of
a portal exists here at Puerta
de Hayu Marca?
Might that be part of the
reason many consider Peru to be
a focal point of UFO and
extraterrestrial activity?
>> CHILDRESS: Lake Titicaca
has all kinds of strange lights
associated with it, and a
number of witnesses claim they
see UFOs coming out of the lake.
>> MARTELL: The locals always
describe seeing large blue
balls of light or glowing discs,
and sometimes even beings
reported around these sightings.
These beings are always
reported as tall, pale-skinned,
completely non-indigenous to
the people that are
dark-skinned, dark-haired in
these South American regions.
>> NARRATOR: Another theory to
how extraterrestrials may have
traveled across the universe
involves the scientific concept
of teleportation.
But is it really possible to
have something disappear from
one spot and suddenly appear
somewhere else?
>> SEREDA: At the Max Planck
Institute, scientists have
already dematerialized subatomic
particles and made them reappear
somewhere else, so science is
just on the precipice of being
able to do this-- to move it
from one place to another.
So I believe that that is a, is
a secret that the ancient stone
builders knew.
>> BARA: Even though the gate
might be closed right now, the
reality is, you can still access
the energy because it's still
flowing around the area.
It's the area itself that seems
to hold the energy and put it
out and draw people to it.
>> NARRATOR: But is Puerta de
Hayu Marca the only strange site
in Peru?
Are there other mysterious
places here?
Some believe there are.
♪ ♪
High up in the
mountains of Peru, 850 miles
north of the Gate of the Gods,
is a breathtaking two-mile-long
plateau, another area of
reported high magnetic energy.
For centuries, it has been
considered a powerful, sacred
place among the Incan people.
It's called Markawasi.
>> COPPENS: Markawasi is a very
beautiful region in Peru.
Markawasi is said to have had
very bizarre energy.
People go there and they
experience bizarre energy
patterns.
>> KATHY DOORE: The local people
say it is a place of the wizards
and gods and genies of old and
they treat it with a great deal
of veneration.
When people go there, they
report a special kind of
frequency and energy--
a euphoria, in fact.
>> NARRATOR: Most geologists
consider the many stone
formations on the plateau to be
naturally formed, born of
millions of years of erosion and
other natural processes.
But is there more here than
first meets the eye?
Some consider Markawasi to be a
massive sculpture garden filled
with carvings left behind by an
ancient civilization.
>> COPPENS: This is a region
whereby stones are not just
stones.
What we have here is almost like
a Disneyland of the gods.
The question then is: is this a
purely natural phenomena or is
this something more?
>> NARRATOR: Could this be not
just a collection of rocks but
a sanctuary of stone monuments
made by people tens or even
hundreds of thousands of years
ago?
Researcher Daniel Ruzo was the
first to make this claim
in 1952.
>> DOORE: Daniel Ruzo was shown
stone head, up in the high
mountains above Lima, and he
made an expedition there just to
see the stone head, but he was
astonished to find that on this
tiny mesa were hundreds of
carved stones.
>> NARRATOR: There are those who
believe the rock formations
depict animals and people not
indigenous to South America.
They see in them figures such as
an African queen, the Egyptian
god of fertility, Taweret,
depicted as an upright
hippopotamus...
a camel...
and many others.
One formation, known as the
Monument to Humanity, features
what appears to be a Western
face on one side and a Middle
Eastern one on the other.
Is it really possible that so
many formations which appear to
depict figures from around the
world could coincidentally be
found on a single plateau?
Or if they are man-made, who may
have carved them?
>> DOORE: The local legends say
that it is a place of the
ancient giant gods, that the
gods created this.
In fact, when the Spanish
chroniclers came to Peru and
investigated the ancient
shamanic religions of Peru, they
told a story of Tici Viracocha,
the creator god, who arrived in
the guise of a man to walk and
inspect his lands.
And he had given them different
orders and there were some rebel
nations that were not doing what
they were supposed to do and he
promptly turned them to stone.
>> NARRATOR: The name Markawasi
provides a clue to its origins
and mystery.
The word itself predates the
Incan Empire.
Markawasi scholar and researcher
Daniel Ruzo believed the name
meant "two-story house" and
referred to the strange complex
of buildings located on the
site.
>> MARTELL: That really raises
the question that scholars and
theologians have been trying to
figure out for many years:
is there an Atlantean or some
lost civilization?
So Markawasi puts that question
back on the map.
Could this be possible?
Were there transoceanic cultures
visiting thousands of years ago,
off the books of recorded
history?
>> NARRATOR: According to Daniel
Ruzo, the ancient civilization
that created Markawasi were a
people known as the Masma...
and supposedly, Peru was not
their only home.
>> ROBERT SCHOCH: The Masma was
this very, very ancient advanced
civilization, advanced culture,
if we want to call it that, that
seems to have been global, seems
to have traveled worldwide at a
very early period, and Ruzo
spent much of his time looking
around the world for evidence of
this advanced civilization,
and he thought he found it
at Markawasi.
He actually saw Markawasi, in
many ways, as being like a huge
sculpture garden that the Masma
had built there.
>> NARRATOR: If such a worldwide
community existed, what happened
to it?
Was it, as some believe, wiped
out in the great flood described
in the Bible?
>> BARA: It's very interesting
that these carvings are found
at 12,000 feet because that kind
of implies that civilization
started at the top and then
worked its way back down as the
waters of the flood receded.
It's almost as if the first
thing they did when Noah's Ark
descended and landed, maybe
landed at Markawasi, was to
record all the animals that they
had collected, if you buy the
whole concept of a story of
saving what was left of humanity
and saving what they could of
the animal kingdom.
>> SCHOCH: If these are real
sculptures or even natural
formations that were touched up,
they are so old geologically
that all we can really do is
fall back to some of the
speculations of people like
Daniel Ruzo-- that this was some
kind of very ancient
civilization.
>> DOORE: Perhaps, indeed, there
were ancient gods.
Perhaps there was a race of
beings of very high-minded
nature that came here in the
early, early times that helped
mankind and that have been
overseeing their handiwork.
>> SCHOCH: I suspect that they
were trying to record something
about their beliefs, their
civilization, something that
could be passed on to future
generations.
They may have realized they
were not going to last forever
and they wanted to leave some
kind of mark, some kind of
record, maybe even some kind of
warning for future generations.
>> NARRATOR: If this advanced,
globe-traveling race existed in
early history, where did they
come from?
According to author George Hunt
Williamson, who first
popularized Markawasi with his
1959 book Road in the Sky,
Markawasi was a "sacred forest"
where extraterrestrial beings
met to plan the future.
And many UFO researchers
believe they're still returning
to this day.
>> DOORE: The mesa has a
plethora of UFO sightings,
ultra-dimensional visitors.
It's an extraordinary place.
>> CHILDRESS: What is probably
Peru's most famous UFO photo
was taken near Markawasi in the
1970s by a businessman, who
himself was going up the
trail to the plateau of
Markawasi, when he looked back
down the valley, and there was
a silvery disc in broad
daylight, flying up the valley.
>> NARRATOR: But are there
really special types of energy
flowing around Markawasi that
we are just beginning to
understand?
And if so, have they been
attracting visitors for
thousands of years, as reported
at some of the world's other
mysterious places?
>> BARA: My suspicion is that
extraterrestrials would be
more inclined to come to these
energetic places, not just
because it would make their
technology work better, but
because their bodies are going
to vibrate at a frequency that's
more appropriate for the
universe or the world that they
inhabit.
>> SCHOCH: As I have looked at
studies and studied it myself,
I think that maybe something
inherent to those spots-- maybe
electromagnetic, maybe a
geomagnetic anomaly--
you have, in some cases,
different types of rocks,
different types of crystalline
structures; maybe underground
flowing water that will carry
electric currents-- so I think
there are a lot of
possibilities.
But we really don't understand
exactly what's going on.
>> NARRATOR: Is there a reason
why these so-called
interdimensional space portals
allegedly appear at certain
spots on our planet?
Could there be, as some suggest,
a pattern to their locations?
And what evidence exists that
shows our ancient ancestors
knew the code?
According to ancient astronaut theorists,
the mysterious energy-filled
sites around the world are not
randomly located.
They are connected by what is
referred to as the World Grid--
a geometric pattern of energy
that crisscrosses the globe.
>> CHILDRESS: Our planet is
covered with this network of
very subtle invisible energies
that are all around us.
But at certain places on the
planet, these energies come
together, and they create a
powerful vortex area.
And that energy is-is stronger
and more useful, in a sense,
than some other part of
the Earth.
>> BARA: The World Grid theory
is a concept that all of these
sacred sites, all around the
world, are actually connected in
some sort of mathematical,
geometric grid that came from
a time when we really understood
the harmony between nature and
geometry and science and
mathematics.
>> CHILDRESS: It's well known
that Australian aboriginals
follow these dreaming tracks as
they go on their walkabout
through the desert.
They can see these lines on the
ground, they claim.
The Chinese also believe that
they can see and track these
"dragon lines."
And in fact, the very popular
Chinese practice of feng shui
is to use these energy lines
that are coming and going
throughout the land.
>> NARRATOR: The unique
relationship between geometric
shapes and certain locations on
Earth stretches back in history
to the Pythagorean school of
thought in ancient Greece.
>> CHILDRESS: One of the famous
Pythagorean philosophers of
ancient Greece, Plato, talks
about the Earth as a geometric
dodecahedron.
That it's like a ball sewn in
various geometric shapes.
And the Pythagorean school is
basically saying that geometry,
and the various forms of
geometry, are what makes up all
matter, including the Earth.
>> NARRATOR: Another strange
mystery surrounds the apparent
concentration of UFO sightings
along the World Grid.
Before his death in 1992,
French UFO researcher Aimee
Michel mapped every alleged
extraterrestrial report since
the Roswell incident in 1947.
>> COPPENS: When he mapped them,
he found that they were
specific, namely in lines.
And he began to map these
lines, and he found that these
lines were not just random, but
were actually linked to degrees
of latitudes, and that there
was really a science behind
where UFOs were sighted.
>> NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists believe that the
concentration of energy levels
and UFO sitings is not a
coincidence.
They claim that otherworldly
beings visited our ancestors
and told them of the special
powers in these locations.
Then they say the ancient
people were shown how to build
incredible structures to
magnify these natural powers.
It's a theory known as geomancy.
>> CHILDRESS: So, in fact, by
building pyramids, and standing
stones, obelisks and things like
that, we can work with this
natural energy field around the
Earth, and, in a similar way to
acupuncture on a human body,
we can do that to the
Earth, too.
And by putting certain
structures, or a needle in a
certain place in the Earth, we
can accentuate these energies.
>> VON DANIKEN: In Europe,
lines, sometimes thousand
kilometers of long, exist from
antiquity.
In Europe they are called
ley lines.
All of the antique places are
linked together.
>> TSOUKALOS: These ley lines
extend all the way from
England, all the way through
France, down across through
Italy, and just in a straight
line.
And the fascinating aspect is
that many of those towns that
are on that line, the root of
the town's name is represented
across 20, 30 town names.
>> VON DANIKEN: Every point is
on one line.
It's an archeological point.
And every point has the same
core of the word.
The word is always "star."
It's absolutely fascinating,
and it's not coincidence.
Our Stone Age people did not by
coincidence just put their holy
places in Stone Age in one line.
Somebody ordered it, and
somebody told them, use the
word "star" for your village.
For eternity, don't change it.
>> BARA: So, the question is:
are those guys
extraterrestrials?
Or is it possible that we,
in fact, are extraterrestrial,
that we did not come from here?
And it's simply an older
version of humanity taking care
of the younger version that
they're going to leave the
planet to?
>> VON DANIKEN: The idea was
that generations in the far
future, they must struggle over
these artifacts, and over these
indications.
And they must start to ask
questions.
That's the situation we have
today.
>> BARA: The main thing that
these mysterious places can tell
us about our past is that it's
a lot more complex than they
teach us in school.
>> NARRATOR: Until future
scientists solve the strange
issues surrounding certain
spots on Earth, we'll be left
with lingering questions.
Might these locations really be
portals or entrances to
wormholes?
Did extraterrestrial beings
transport themselves to Earth,
using special electromagnetic
fields in these mysterious
places?
And were these secrets known by
ancient civilizations now
lost to history?
