Zeus,

00:00:04,466 --> 00:00:05,394
***,
3
00:00:06,269 --> 00:00:07,301
Thor,
4
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:10,023
For thousands of years
5
00:00:10,150 --> 00:00:12,647
ancient**** have described gods
6
00:00:12,745 --> 00:00:14,361
who came down from the heavens.
7
00:00:14,698 --> 00:00:16,010
Always you have someone
8
00:00:16,083 --> 00:00:18,517
who is descending from the sky
9
00:00:18,651 --> 00:00:20,485
with loud noise,
10
00:00:20,631 --> 00:00:23,702
with thundering,
with fire, with smoke.
11
00:00:24,352 --> 00:00:25,353
They would have come the most
12
00:00:25,456 --> 00:00:26,796
powerful and magical place
13
00:00:26,865 --> 00:00:29,434
possible... from the stars.
14
00:00:29,535 --> 00:00:30,970
NARRATOR: But just who were
15
00:00:31,004 --> 00:00:32,606
these mystical beings that
16
00:00:32,675 --> 00:00:33,708
ruled the skies with
17
00:00:33,775 --> 00:00:35,511
supernatural powers?
18
00:00:35,580 --> 00:00:36,446
David CHILDRESS: You could
19
00:00:36,513 --> 00:00:38,984
wonder if these tales of Zeus's
20
00:00:39,018 --> 00:00:41,054
thunderbolts, Thor's hammer,
21
00:00:41,088 --> 00:00:43,792
if these weren't real weapons.
22
00:00:43,892 --> 00:00:45,061
NARRATOR: Did our ancient
23
00:00:45,096 --> 00:00:47,065
ancestors create the gods from
24
00:00:47,098 --> 00:00:49,001
their own imaginations?
25
00:00:49,035 --> 00:00:50,604
Or did they simply report
26
00:00:50,638 --> 00:00:53,342
events they believed to be true?
27
00:00:53,409 --> 00:00:54,711
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Our
28
00:00:54,779 --> 00:00:57,616
ancestors misinterpreted
29
00:00:57,650 --> 00:00:59,686
extraterrestrials as gods,
30
00:00:59,721 --> 00:01:01,823
because that is was the only way
31
00:01:01,891 --> 00:01:03,259
that they could explain away
32
00:01:03,292 --> 00:01:05,363
what they witnessed.
33
00:01:05,397 --> 00:01:06,731
NARRATOR: Millions of people
34
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:08,701
around the world believe we have
35
00:01:08,736 --> 00:01:10,637
been visited in the past by
36
00:01:10,672 --> 00:01:11,706
extraterrestrial beings.
37
00:01:11,741 --> 00:01:15,179
What if it were true?
38
00:01:15,246 --> 00:01:16,882
Did ancient aliens really help
39
00:01:16,917 --> 00:01:19,020
to shape our history?
40
00:01:19,086 --> 00:01:21,056
And were the gods of
41
00:01:21,090 --> 00:01:23,294
our ancestors actually visitors
42
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,830
from other worlds?

NARRATOR: Truva, Turkey.
45
00:02:00,223 --> 00:02:02,427
For over 150 years, this small
46
00:02:02,461 --> 00:02:04,696
city has been the center of one
47
00:02:04,731 --> 00:02:06,200
of the greatest archaeological
48
00:02:06,234 --> 00:02:09,004
finds in modern history: the
49
00:02:09,106 --> 00:02:10,906
possible discovery of the
50
00:02:10,975 --> 00:02:13,177
legendary city of Troy.
51
00:02:17,253 --> 00:02:20,291
In 1868, amateur archaeologist
52
00:02:20,358 --> 00:02:22,828
Heinrich Schliemann, set out to
53
00:02:22,862 --> 00:02:24,464
find what he believed was the
54
00:02:24,499 --> 00:02:26,100
city that served as the basis
55
00:02:26,167 --> 00:02:28,737
for the Trojan War, as described
56
00:02:28,772 --> 00:02:30,641
in one of the greatest pieces of
57
00:02:30,676 --> 00:02:32,643
classical literature, Homer's
58
00:02:32,713 --> 00:02:35,749
epic poem, the Iliad.
59
00:02:35,785 --> 00:02:38,755
Written in the eighth century
60
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:41,292
BC, Homer's Iliad tells the
61
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,563
tale of a great war, born of
62
00:02:43,631 --> 00:02:45,934
feuding and jealous gods.
63
00:02:45,967 --> 00:02:48,304
While most scholars believed
64
00:02:48,373 --> 00:02:50,275
the story of the Trojan War was
65
00:02:50,310 --> 00:02:52,579
a work of fiction, Schliemann
66
00:02:52,648 --> 00:02:54,282
was determined to prove the
67
00:02:54,317 --> 00:02:56,285
myth was a reality.
68
00:02:57,988 --> 00:02:59,123
Richard RADER: Heinrich
69
00:02:59,191 --> 00:03:00,592
Schliemann's discoveries rocked
70
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:02,363
the archaeological world.
71
00:03:02,396 --> 00:03:04,366
Armed with his copy of the
72
00:03:04,399 --> 00:03:06,870
Iliad, basically, he just
73
00:03:06,938 --> 00:03:08,573
decided that he was gonna find
74
00:03:08,608 --> 00:03:09,742
Troy.
75
00:03:09,776 --> 00:03:13,281
And so he went and just dug a
76
00:03:13,315 --> 00:03:16,419
big hole, and when he went, he
77
00:03:16,454 --> 00:03:18,423
discovered the real Troy.
78
00:03:26,737 --> 00:03:29,075
NARRATOR: But if Homer's
79
00:03:29,175 --> 00:03:31,345
story of Troy was true, what
80
00:03:31,379 --> 00:03:33,248
would it say about other Greek
81
00:03:33,315 --> 00:03:35,452
stories and myths?
82
00:03:35,487 --> 00:03:37,623
Might those also be true?
83
00:03:39,427 --> 00:03:41,796
Did powerful gods and goddesses
84
00:03:41,864 --> 00:03:44,968
actually exist?
85
00:03:45,004 --> 00:03:48,173
And, if so, where did they come
86
00:03:48,241 --> 00:03:50,143
from?
87
00:03:53,417 --> 00:03:56,887
Hellas, also known as Greece.
88
00:03:56,922 --> 00:03:59,860
Each day, thousands of tourists
89
00:03:59,929 --> 00:04:01,963
visit temples and monuments
90
00:04:01,997 --> 00:04:03,299
built to honor the gods of
91
00:04:03,333 --> 00:04:05,436
another age.
92
00:04:05,504 --> 00:04:08,608
The Acropolis...
93
00:04:08,709 --> 00:04:11,413
Delphi...
94
00:04:11,447 --> 00:04:14,351
The Parthenon...
95
00:04:14,419 --> 00:04:16,589
The Temple of Apollo.
96
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:19,393
These ancient sites reflect a
97
00:04:19,427 --> 00:04:21,396
powerful reverence for beings
98
00:04:21,432 --> 00:04:23,667
that supposedly ruled the world
99
00:04:23,702 --> 00:04:25,671
thousands of years ago.
100
00:04:28,878 --> 00:04:30,580
CHILDRESS: When you look at
101
00:04:30,614 --> 00:04:32,950
many of the mythologies around
102
00:04:32,985 --> 00:04:34,586
the world, they have these
103
00:04:34,621 --> 00:04:37,725
stories of gods coming down from
104
00:04:37,792 --> 00:04:39,896
the sky.
105
00:04:41,432 --> 00:04:42,900
RADER: There's a beautiful
106
00:04:42,968 --> 00:04:44,537
description of the way that the
107
00:04:44,604 --> 00:04:46,072
gods move, like, when they kind
108
00:04:46,139 --> 00:04:47,808
of come down to the Earth.
109
00:04:47,843 --> 00:04:49,077
You get the sense of them
110
00:04:49,146 --> 00:04:50,980
gliding down, but the way that
111
00:04:51,015 --> 00:04:53,084
they move is kind of beyond
112
00:04:53,153 --> 00:04:54,153
time.
113
00:04:54,188 --> 00:04:55,622
It just kind of happens.
114
00:04:55,689 --> 00:04:56,892
NARRATOR: If the ancient
115
00:04:56,926 --> 00:04:58,460
Greeks invented the stories of
116
00:04:58,495 --> 00:05:00,966
gods as a primitive attempt to
117
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,469
explain their universe, how can
118
00:05:03,536 --> 00:05:05,372
we account for similar deities
119
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,009
found in widely different
120
00:05:07,043 --> 00:05:08,644
regions and cultures around the
121
00:05:08,679 --> 00:05:11,181
globe?
122
00:05:11,215 --> 00:05:12,986
Was it mere coincidence?
123
00:05:13,086 --> 00:05:15,256
Or was there a common origin
124
00:05:15,290 --> 00:05:17,826
for these gods, who supposedly
125
00:05:17,860 --> 00:05:19,630
traveled to Earth from the
126
00:05:19,697 --> 00:05:21,633
skies?
127
00:05:27,811 --> 00:05:28,913
Jason MARTELL: The earliest
128
00:05:28,980 --> 00:05:31,550
civilization we have, 3800 BC,
129
00:05:31,585 --> 00:05:33,453
the Sumerians actually give us
130
00:05:33,487 --> 00:05:34,655
visual descriptions of these
131
00:05:34,724 --> 00:05:36,525
beings and speak of this time
132
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,829
that they lived amongst their
133
00:05:37,894 --> 00:05:39,029
living gods.
134
00:05:39,063 --> 00:05:40,299
They called their gods the
135
00:05:40,333 --> 00:05:41,900
Annunaki and that term simply
136
00:05:41,935 --> 00:05:43,203
meant "those who from heaven
137
00:05:43,238 --> 00:05:45,240
come to earth."
138
00:05:45,241 --> 00:05:46,577
RADER: Mythology is chock...
139
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:48,112
full of these episodes of gods
140
00:05:48,213 --> 00:05:49,849
coming down to earth.
141
00:05:49,915 --> 00:05:51,218
I mean, because mythology is so
142
00:05:51,251 --> 00:05:53,121
interested in the relationship
143
00:05:53,221 --> 00:05:54,657
between gods and humans, there
144
00:05:54,690 --> 00:05:55,859
is necessarily gonna be a lot
145
00:05:55,925 --> 00:05:57,828
of communication, and communion
146
00:05:57,863 --> 00:06:00,766
between the two of them.
147
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,469
NARRATOR: In his 2000 book,
148
00:06:02,569 --> 00:06:05,207
Odyssey of the Gods, Erich Von
149
00:06:05,274 --> 00:06:07,210
D Niken argues that the world's
150
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,814
sacred books are full of
151
00:06:08,848 --> 00:06:11,218
descriptions, not of gods, but
152
00:06:11,285 --> 00:06:13,489
of supernatural beings
153
00:06:13,556 --> 00:06:16,093
interacting with humans.
154
00:06:16,094 --> 00:06:17,494
Von D NIKEN: Some thousands
155
00:06:17,563 --> 00:06:19,164
of years ago, when our
156
00:06:19,198 --> 00:06:20,166
forefathers were still
157
00:06:20,201 --> 00:06:21,736
primitive, some
158
00:06:21,770 --> 00:06:23,038
extraterrestrials descended to
159
00:06:23,105 --> 00:06:24,340
our planet.
160
00:06:24,375 --> 00:06:26,912
And because of misunderstanding,
161
00:06:26,946 --> 00:06:28,747
like of technology, our
162
00:06:28,816 --> 00:06:30,751
forefathers thought that these
163
00:06:30,786 --> 00:06:33,923
extraterrestrials must be some
164
00:06:33,991 --> 00:06:35,926
gods.
165
00:06:38,565 --> 00:06:41,268
NARRATOR: Mount Olympus.
166
00:06:41,303 --> 00:06:44,373
Greece's highest mountain.
167
00:06:44,441 --> 00:06:47,013
According to ancient myths,
168
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:48,849
this site was the home of the
169
00:06:48,915 --> 00:06:49,850
gods.
170
00:06:49,918 --> 00:06:52,387
(thunder crashes)
171
00:06:52,424 --> 00:06:54,860
It was here, on Mount Olympus,
172
00:06:54,925 --> 00:06:56,628
that Zeus sat on his throne and
173
00:06:56,662 --> 00:06:58,565
determined the fate of
174
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,303
mortal men.
175
00:07:01,338 --> 00:07:02,939
TSOUKALOS: Whenever we have
176
00:07:03,007 --> 00:07:05,109
references to Mount Olympus, it
177
00:07:05,177 --> 00:07:08,082
is described to be this
178
00:07:08,117 --> 00:07:11,186
magnificent palace on top of
179
00:07:11,221 --> 00:07:14,092
Mount Olympus allegedly, and the
180
00:07:14,127 --> 00:07:16,396
temple walls were always
181
00:07:16,464 --> 00:07:18,233
gleaming of gold, or gleaming
182
00:07:18,301 --> 00:07:20,235
with silver, and a lot of little
183
00:07:20,303 --> 00:07:23,407
lights that they described as
184
00:07:23,408 --> 00:07:24,376
jewels.
185
00:07:24,411 --> 00:07:27,148
Well, if you look at that
186
00:07:27,215 --> 00:07:28,852
from modern perspective,
187
00:07:28,885 --> 00:07:32,322
what if that place... Mount
188
00:07:32,390 --> 00:07:34,593
Olympus... wasn't necessarily the
189
00:07:34,694 --> 00:07:36,665
top of a mountain, but it was,
190
00:07:36,699 --> 00:07:40,404
in fact, a spaceship, because it
191
00:07:40,438 --> 00:07:42,241
is described how sometimes there
192
00:07:42,275 --> 00:07:44,143
was a big rumbling with Mount
193
00:07:44,211 --> 00:07:46,680
Olympus, and the entire top
194
00:07:46,748 --> 00:07:49,785
lifted off.
195
00:07:49,854 --> 00:07:51,655
NARRATOR: But if Mount
196
00:07:51,690 --> 00:07:53,658
Olympus was home to alien
197
00:07:53,695 --> 00:07:55,129
visitors, could Zeus have been
198
00:07:55,230 --> 00:07:56,664
their leader?
199
00:07:56,699 --> 00:07:58,869
According to both the Iliad and
200
00:07:58,936 --> 00:08:01,404
the Odyssey, Zeus was often
201
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,041
depicted as wielding a
202
00:08:03,076 --> 00:08:05,112
lightning bolt.
203
00:08:05,113 --> 00:08:06,781
CREMO: It appears to be a
204
00:08:06,816 --> 00:08:10,120
very powerful weapon because he
205
00:08:10,155 --> 00:08:13,425
could destroy whole cities with
206
00:08:13,461 --> 00:08:16,799
this thunderbolt weapon of his.
207
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,502
NARRATOR: Similarly, Zeus's
208
00:08:18,537 --> 00:08:20,038
brother Poseidon, the God of
209
00:08:20,106 --> 00:08:21,940
the sea, was armed with a
210
00:08:21,975 --> 00:08:23,210
trident.
211
00:08:23,278 --> 00:08:25,681
CREMO: He was able to create
212
00:08:25,749 --> 00:08:28,219
tsunamis, tidal waves with this
213
00:08:28,287 --> 00:08:29,754
weapon.
214
00:08:29,821 --> 00:08:33,661
The trident weapon of Poseidon
215
00:08:33,694 --> 00:08:36,399
seems to have been something
216
00:08:36,465 --> 00:08:39,504
more than just a pitchfork.
217
00:08:39,606 --> 00:08:41,140
TSOUKALOS: So is it possible
218
00:08:41,175 --> 00:08:43,044
that the lightning bolt and
219
00:08:43,078 --> 00:08:46,417
the trident is some type of a
220
00:08:46,484 --> 00:08:48,419
direct energy device?
221
00:08:51,759 --> 00:08:53,394
NARRATOR: Arguably, one of
222
00:08:53,429 --> 00:08:55,431
the most important of the Greek
223
00:08:55,498 --> 00:08:58,705
gods was Apollo, who rode the
224
00:08:58,770 --> 00:09:01,141
skies in his chariot of fire.
225
00:09:01,176 --> 00:09:02,777
Von D NIKEN: Apollo first
226
00:09:02,845 --> 00:09:04,881
was the teacher of the young
227
00:09:04,981 --> 00:09:06,751
Greeks living there.
228
00:09:06,785 --> 00:09:09,255
He teach them how to make
229
00:09:09,290 --> 00:09:11,157
buildings on the mountain, on
230
00:09:11,226 --> 00:09:12,761
the hillside.
231
00:09:12,795 --> 00:09:14,331
He teach them how to make roads.
232
00:09:14,398 --> 00:09:17,603
He teach them in astronomy.
233
00:09:17,671 --> 00:09:20,040
NARRATOR: Centuries later,
234
00:09:20,073 --> 00:09:22,077
when Rome ruled over Europe and
235
00:09:22,145 --> 00:09:23,613
the Mediterranean, from the
236
00:09:23,647 --> 00:09:26,083
first century BC until the
237
00:09:26,151 --> 00:09:28,788
seventh century AD, the Romans
238
00:09:28,822 --> 00:09:30,124
paid homage to gods similar to
239
00:09:30,158 --> 00:09:32,261
the Greeks.
240
00:09:32,362 --> 00:09:36,902
Zeus was now known as Jupiter.
241
00:09:36,970 --> 00:09:41,309
Poseidon was called Neptune.
242
00:09:41,376 --> 00:09:43,513
But Apollo was known to both
243
00:09:43,581 --> 00:09:45,584
the Romans and the Greeks.
244
00:09:45,651 --> 00:09:47,420
Coincidence?
245
00:09:47,488 --> 00:09:49,792
Or, as most ancient astronaut
246
00:09:49,826 --> 00:09:52,028
theorists believe, was it the
247
00:09:52,063 --> 00:09:53,764
historical account of powerful
248
00:09:53,831 --> 00:09:55,133
beings that came to Earth
249
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,134
thousands of years ago?
250
00:09:56,204 --> 00:09:59,140
(neighing)
251
00:09:59,207 --> 00:10:00,509
MARTELL: We know that the
252
00:10:00,577 --> 00:10:01,778
extraterrestrials more than
253
00:10:01,846 --> 00:10:03,046
likely are the source of what
254
00:10:03,115 --> 00:10:04,349
they call gods.
255
00:10:04,416 --> 00:10:05,784
How did they get here?
256
00:10:05,852 --> 00:10:07,321
More than likely in some type of
257
00:10:07,389 --> 00:10:08,423
craft.
258
00:10:08,424 --> 00:10:10,159
Philip COPPENS: What we map
259
00:10:10,226 --> 00:10:12,330
into our myths and our legends
260
00:10:12,398 --> 00:10:14,500
are incredible stories,
261
00:10:14,533 --> 00:10:16,203
incredible events, and any
262
00:10:16,237 --> 00:10:18,038
extraterrestrial being, any
263
00:10:18,072 --> 00:10:20,309
ancient alien who has come here
264
00:10:20,376 --> 00:10:22,480
on Earth, will be written down
265
00:10:22,548 --> 00:10:24,584
into this account because it is
266
00:10:24,618 --> 00:10:26,018
such an extraordinary event that
267
00:10:26,087 --> 00:10:28,591
it'll be marked forever.
268
00:10:28,592 --> 00:10:29,825
NARRATOR: But if the stories
269
00:10:29,860 --> 00:10:31,229
of Greek and Roman gods are
270
00:10:31,296 --> 00:10:33,665
true, can evidence of their
271
00:10:33,733 --> 00:10:35,301
existence be found in other
272
00:10:35,403 --> 00:10:37,874
parts of the globe?
273
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:41,044
And, if so, where did they go?
274
00:10:46,618 --> 00:10:48,087
NARRATOR: On the northwest
275
00:10:48,154 --> 00:10:50,191
coast of France, just South of
276
00:10:50,259 --> 00:10:52,227
Brittany, lies one of the e most
277
00:10:52,261 --> 00:10:53,863
important prehistoric sites in
278
00:10:53,897 --> 00:10:57,437
Europe.
279
00:10:57,472 --> 00:10:58,505
At the seaside village of
280
00:10:58,539 --> 00:11:01,510
Carnac, over 3,000 megalithic
281
00:11:01,611 --> 00:11:03,246
stones are placed in rows over
282
00:11:03,314 --> 00:11:06,685
two miles long.
283
00:11:06,719 --> 00:11:09,623
The Carnac stones were hewn from
284
00:11:09,658 --> 00:11:10,960
local rock formations and
285
00:11:10,994 --> 00:11:14,431
erected between 4,500 to 2,500
286
00:11:14,501 --> 00:11:18,439
BC, at the end of the Stone Age.
287
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,675
They are the largest collection
288
00:11:20,711 --> 00:11:21,677
of standing stones in the
289
00:11:21,745 --> 00:11:23,681
world.
290
00:11:26,219 --> 00:11:28,054
CHILDRESS: Archaeologists are
291
00:11:28,090 --> 00:11:30,025
baffled by the many megaliths at
292
00:11:30,059 --> 00:11:32,062
Carnac here.
293
00:11:32,063 --> 00:11:34,467
It's clearly a massive
294
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:37,672
construction project with blocks
295
00:11:37,706 --> 00:11:40,676
of granite weighing 50 to 100,
296
00:11:40,745 --> 00:11:45,684
to even up to 350 tons.
297
00:11:45,753 --> 00:11:48,156
Legends here say that giants
298
00:11:48,191 --> 00:11:50,761
built Carnac, but you have to
299
00:11:50,794 --> 00:11:53,064
wonder, what is the real purpose
300
00:11:53,098 --> 00:11:55,768
of these giant megaliths, and
301
00:11:55,803 --> 00:11:58,908
why would prehistoric people
302
00:11:58,976 --> 00:12:03,048
have moved all of these massive
303
00:12:03,115 --> 00:12:04,918
stones and placed them in the
304
00:12:04,953 --> 00:12:09,360
many alignments here at Carnac?
305
00:12:09,361 --> 00:12:11,329
CREMO: Thousands of large
306
00:12:11,396 --> 00:12:14,335
stones have been arranged in
307
00:12:14,402 --> 00:12:16,404
very interesting patterns.
308
00:12:16,471 --> 00:12:17,974
They're arranged in intersecting
309
00:12:18,041 --> 00:12:21,580
lines that form triangles that
310
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:27,089
could only be visible from above
311
00:12:27,123 --> 00:12:29,193
the Earth.
312
00:12:29,194 --> 00:12:32,098
These arrangements of stones
313
00:12:32,132 --> 00:12:34,569
may have been a way of
314
00:12:34,671 --> 00:12:35,738
communicating with
315
00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:39,845
extraterrestrial beings.
316
00:12:39,878 --> 00:12:41,381
NARRATOR: The ancient Greek
317
00:12:41,415 --> 00:12:43,651
poet Pindar spoke of a mystical
318
00:12:43,718 --> 00:12:45,655
land called Hyperborea, far to
319
00:12:45,722 --> 00:12:48,358
the north, where the sun shined
320
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:51,298
24 hours a day.
321
00:12:53,368 --> 00:12:55,571
Legends claim that Apollo
322
00:12:55,605 --> 00:12:57,842
visited Hyperborea, traveling in
323
00:12:57,876 --> 00:12:59,712
his chariot of fire every
324
00:12:59,780 --> 00:13:02,283
20 years.
325
00:13:02,284 --> 00:13:03,251
TSOUKALOS: Apollo would tell
326
00:13:03,285 --> 00:13:04,988
to the Greeks, "Okay, I've got
327
00:13:05,022 --> 00:13:06,991
to go see some other people.
328
00:13:07,025 --> 00:13:08,794
"I've got to go and teach them."
329
00:13:08,861 --> 00:13:09,863
And they're, like, "Well, where
330
00:13:09,897 --> 00:13:10,864
are you off to?"
331
00:13:10,899 --> 00:13:11,966
And he's, like, "Well, I'm
332
00:13:12,034 --> 00:13:13,234
actually going to a place that's
333
00:13:13,337 --> 00:13:15,439
beyond where the north wind
334
00:13:15,473 --> 00:13:16,441
comes.
335
00:13:16,475 --> 00:13:17,609
It's the land of the
336
00:13:17,644 --> 00:13:20,647
"Hyperboreans."
337
00:13:20,648 --> 00:13:21,949
NARRATOR: Although mainstream
338
00:13:21,983 --> 00:13:23,619
archaeologists speculate that
339
00:13:23,654 --> 00:13:25,422
the Carnac stones are most
340
00:13:25,457 --> 00:13:27,093
likely tomb markers, ancient
341
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,629
astronaut theorists believe
342
00:13:29,664 --> 00:13:31,367
these stones are intentionally
343
00:13:31,401 --> 00:13:33,336
laid out in a unique geometric
344
00:13:33,370 --> 00:13:35,772
formation.
345
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:36,808
Von D NIKEN: Many
346
00:13:36,876 --> 00:13:38,378
speculations existed since
347
00:13:38,412 --> 00:13:40,414
centuries, and only a few years
348
00:13:40,484 --> 00:13:42,585
ago, in France, they started to
349
00:13:42,686 --> 00:13:44,789
photograph this whole French
350
00:13:44,857 --> 00:13:47,226
Brittany by helicopters.
351
00:13:47,261 --> 00:13:48,428
And when they put the pictures
352
00:13:48,496 --> 00:13:50,399
together, all of a sudden,
353
00:13:50,433 --> 00:13:52,302
someone realized, hey, this is
354
00:13:52,335 --> 00:13:53,704
not coincidence.
355
00:13:53,738 --> 00:13:55,975
The distances of the lines are
356
00:13:56,042 --> 00:14:00,883
always the same... 2,860 meters.
357
00:14:00,917 --> 00:14:03,319
Or exactly the half of 2,860
358
00:14:03,388 --> 00:14:05,590
meters.
359
00:14:08,263 --> 00:14:11,468
The angles are always the same.
360
00:14:11,502 --> 00:14:14,406
It's Pythagorean triangles.
361
00:14:14,441 --> 00:14:16,409
It's all a gigantic
362
00:14:16,444 --> 00:14:18,346
geometrical pattern.
363
00:14:18,413 --> 00:14:20,716
From Stone Age, which
364
00:14:20,785 --> 00:14:21,952
is impossible.
365
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:23,855
Our Stone Age people had no idea
366
00:14:23,890 --> 00:14:26,994
of Pythagoras' triangles.
367
00:14:27,062 --> 00:14:29,966
Pythagoras was about 420 BC.
368
00:14:29,999 --> 00:14:32,536
NARRATOR: Even though the
369
00:14:32,571 --> 00:14:34,106
geometric arrangement of the
370
00:14:34,174 --> 00:14:36,276
Carnac stones predates the
371
00:14:36,345 --> 00:14:37,979
Pythagorean theorem by more
372
00:14:38,014 --> 00:14:41,987
than 2,000 years, one question
373
00:14:42,053 --> 00:14:44,458
remains:
374
00:14:44,558 --> 00:14:46,895
Why were the stones arranged in
375
00:14:46,929 --> 00:14:49,264
such a precise pattern?
376
00:14:49,299 --> 00:14:50,268
CHILDRESS: The Carnac stones
377
00:14:50,301 --> 00:14:52,169
are one of the few things on the
378
00:14:52,204 --> 00:14:53,839
planet that can actually be seen
379
00:14:53,907 --> 00:14:55,376
from space.
380
00:14:55,443 --> 00:14:57,112
And they're a perfect marker for
381
00:14:57,145 --> 00:14:58,915
any kind of aerial vehicle
382
00:14:58,984 --> 00:15:03,389
looking down on the Earth.
383
00:15:03,458 --> 00:15:05,361
Many of the tourists w who com
384
00:15:05,395 --> 00:15:07,396
here to Carnac claim that they
385
00:15:07,464 --> 00:15:09,835
can actually feel the energy
386
00:15:09,902 --> 00:15:11,670
emanating from these granite
387
00:15:11,738 --> 00:15:13,941
megaliths.
388
00:15:14,009 --> 00:15:15,710
How did these ancient people
389
00:15:15,745 --> 00:15:18,550
know about this energy?
390
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:20,618
Is it possible that they were
391
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:23,857
able to use this energy to even
392
00:15:23,925 --> 00:15:25,661
move and erect these giant
393
00:15:25,728 --> 00:15:28,432
stones?
394
00:15:28,500 --> 00:15:29,868
Von D NIKEN: I am of the
395
00:15:29,902 --> 00:15:32,172
opinion that they were made on
396
00:15:32,272 --> 00:15:33,876
purpose.
397
00:15:33,909 --> 00:15:36,413
The extraterrestrials told our
398
00:15:36,514 --> 00:15:40,118
ancestor: do this and this.
399
00:15:40,153 --> 00:15:41,589
It's not the extraterrestrials
400
00:15:41,656 --> 00:15:43,558
who made the stone lines.
401
00:15:43,626 --> 00:15:46,096
It's the humans who made it,
402
00:15:46,130 --> 00:15:47,464
but by the order of the
403
00:15:47,498 --> 00:15:52,106
extraterrestrials.
404
00:15:52,175 --> 00:15:53,408
NARRATOR: But were the Carnac
405
00:15:53,475 --> 00:15:55,412
stones a signpost for an ancient
406
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,849
astronaut called Apollo, as he
407
00:15:57,883 --> 00:16:00,386
flew his spacecraft high above
408
00:16:00,456 --> 00:16:04,860
the land?
409
00:16:04,895 --> 00:16:06,497
CHILDRESS: If the Greek God
410
00:16:06,565 --> 00:16:08,935
Apollo was really some kind of
411
00:16:09,003 --> 00:16:11,806
ancient astronaut, it's possible
412
00:16:11,841 --> 00:16:13,709
that the stones here at Carnac
413
00:16:13,743 --> 00:16:15,512
were a directional finder
414
00:16:15,547 --> 00:16:17,716
pointing the way to the far
415
00:16:17,784 --> 00:16:20,087
north, to the Hyperborea of the
416
00:16:20,122 --> 00:16:23,092
ancient gods.
417
00:16:29,370 --> 00:16:30,906
NARRATOR: Over 1,000 miles
418
00:16:30,973 --> 00:16:32,842
north of Carnac lies
419
00:16:32,910 --> 00:16:35,747
Scandinavia, home to an ancient
420
00:16:35,815 --> 00:16:38,384
people called the Norse.
421
00:16:38,420 --> 00:16:40,556
The Norse were tribal Germanic
422
00:16:40,590 --> 00:16:43,026
people who lived in what is now
423
00:16:43,095 --> 00:16:44,896
known as Sweden, Denmark,
424
00:16:44,930 --> 00:16:48,836
Iceland and Norway.
425
00:16:48,905 --> 00:16:50,840
Norse legends record the
426
00:16:50,874 --> 00:16:52,643
triumphs of great warriors with
427
00:16:52,676 --> 00:16:54,946
advanced weaponry, sophisticated
428
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:56,917
combat techniques s and
429
00:16:56,984 --> 00:16:58,853
navigational p prowess.
430
00:16:58,886 --> 00:17:01,959
Like the Greeks, Norse mythology
431
00:17:01,992 --> 00:17:04,597
includes supernatural beings,
432
00:17:04,664 --> 00:17:08,303
other worlds and powerful gods.
433
00:17:11,642 --> 00:17:13,979
But like the Romans, could the
434
00:17:14,046 --> 00:17:15,882
Norse myths refer not to
435
00:17:15,916 --> 00:17:17,486
different gods, but the same
436
00:17:17,519 --> 00:17:18,987
gods as those depicted by the
437
00:17:19,055 --> 00:17:20,991
ancient Greeks?
438
00:17:21,059 --> 00:17:22,894
CHILDRESS: There are a number
439
00:17:22,928 --> 00:17:25,499
of similarities between Greek
440
00:17:25,533 --> 00:17:27,335
mythology and Norse mythology.
441
00:17:27,369 --> 00:17:29,672
And many of the gods are, uh,
442
00:17:29,707 --> 00:17:31,175
almost identical.
443
00:17:31,209 --> 00:17:33,079
And they do much the same thing.
444
00:17:33,113 --> 00:17:35,884
(thunder cracks, rumbles)
445
00:17:35,950 --> 00:17:36,885
NARRATOR: Descriptions of the
446
00:17:36,953 --> 00:17:38,889
Viking God Odin... the God of
447
00:17:38,955 --> 00:17:40,893
war, death and knowledge...
448
00:17:40,959 --> 00:17:43,164
and the Greek God Zeus, bear
449
00:17:43,230 --> 00:17:45,800
striking similarities.
450
00:17:45,801 --> 00:17:47,536
Jonathan YOUNG: Zeus and
451
00:17:47,604 --> 00:17:51,443
Odin are both sky father gods.
452
00:17:53,980 --> 00:17:55,550
They travel through the skies
453
00:17:55,618 --> 00:17:57,386
in chariots because they are
454
00:17:57,387 --> 00:17:59,690
akin to the solar, uh,
455
00:17:59,758 --> 00:18:00,759
divinities.
456
00:18:00,793 --> 00:18:03,697
The precursor to many, uh,
457
00:18:03,765 --> 00:18:05,199
religious beliefs is sun
458
00:18:05,233 --> 00:18:06,035
worship.
459
00:18:06,069 --> 00:18:07,637
The ancients knew that life came
460
00:18:07,672 --> 00:18:08,539
from the sun.
461
00:18:08,607 --> 00:18:11,343
So that is a great mystery and
462
00:18:11,411 --> 00:18:13,681
a source of great awe.
463
00:18:17,421 --> 00:18:18,690
COPPENS: What you're getting
464
00:18:18,757 --> 00:18:20,059
there is not just some minor
465
00:18:20,093 --> 00:18:21,061
deity, but you really are
466
00:18:21,094 --> 00:18:22,529
nailing it down to one of the
467
00:18:22,597 --> 00:18:24,600
chief deities.
468
00:18:24,601 --> 00:18:25,868
This is a very important
469
00:18:25,902 --> 00:18:26,536
character.
470
00:18:26,605 --> 00:18:28,239
And so whoever is behind Odin
471
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:30,877
or Zeus is obviously a person,
472
00:18:30,911 --> 00:18:34,083
or a divine entity, which is
473
00:18:34,116 --> 00:18:36,219
shared by these cultures.
474
00:18:36,254 --> 00:18:38,356
And it's clear that whoever
475
00:18:38,425 --> 00:18:40,593
inspired the myth of Zeus or
476
00:18:40,628 --> 00:18:43,599
Odin is somehow somebody who had
477
00:18:43,634 --> 00:18:44,766
an extremely important
478
00:18:44,801 --> 00:18:46,169
contribution to make to both
479
00:18:46,204 --> 00:18:47,272
civilizations.
480
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:50,244
So this entity was definitely
481
00:18:50,278 --> 00:18:53,248
known throughout Europe.
482
00:18:55,687 --> 00:18:56,988
NARRATOR: Ancient alien
483
00:18:57,056 --> 00:18:58,692
theorists also point to
484
00:18:58,725 --> 00:19:00,093
similarities between the
485
00:19:00,162 --> 00:19:01,629
sophisticated weapons possessed
486
00:19:01,697 --> 00:19:03,466
by both the Norse and the Greek
487
00:19:03,501 --> 00:19:04,467
gods.
488
00:19:04,502 --> 00:19:07,006
Among Odin's weapons was a spear
489
00:19:07,073 --> 00:19:10,444
that never missed its target.
490
00:19:10,512 --> 00:19:12,447
The Norse God Thor, God of
491
00:19:12,481 --> 00:19:15,018
storms, strength and fertility,
492
00:19:15,087 --> 00:19:18,457
wielded a powerful hammer.
493
00:19:18,527 --> 00:19:19,459
TSOUKALOS: Right there we
494
00:19:19,494 --> 00:19:20,463
have a correlation, a
495
00:19:20,495 --> 00:19:22,164
connection, because not only
496
00:19:22,198 --> 00:19:23,900
does Zeus have the thunderbolt,
497
00:19:23,934 --> 00:19:26,439
but what does Odin have?
498
00:19:26,506 --> 00:19:27,307
And Thor?
499
00:19:27,341 --> 00:19:29,509
They have a hammer.
500
00:19:29,579 --> 00:19:31,279
Thor has a hammer with which he
501
00:19:31,348 --> 00:19:33,049
can smash things, destroy
502
00:19:33,085 --> 00:19:35,253
things, and, you know, the
503
00:19:35,321 --> 00:19:39,059
hammer idea is pretty close with
504
00:19:39,095 --> 00:19:41,364
the description to the lightning
505
00:19:41,431 --> 00:19:45,069
rod that Zeus has.
506
00:19:45,105 --> 00:19:46,171
CHILDRESS: So you have to
507
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:47,508
wonder if these tales of Zeus's
508
00:19:47,542 --> 00:19:50,078
thunderbolts, Thor's hammer...
509
00:19:50,112 --> 00:19:53,518
if these weren't real weapons,
510
00:19:53,552 --> 00:19:55,622
just like we have today, where
511
00:19:55,655 --> 00:19:57,825
we have directed energy-beam
512
00:19:57,860 --> 00:20:00,431
weapons, or are developing some
513
00:20:00,464 --> 00:20:02,701
kind of literal thunderbolt
514
00:20:02,735 --> 00:20:05,939
coming out of a spacecraft.
515
00:20:05,974 --> 00:20:09,145
(weapons zapping)
516
00:20:09,246 --> 00:20:12,984
(wind whistling)
517
00:20:13,053 --> 00:20:14,153
NARRATOR: But such
518
00:20:14,221 --> 00:20:16,190
similarities are not limited o
519
00:20:16,258 --> 00:20:18,928
the Greek and Norse myths.
520
00:20:18,997 --> 00:20:21,299
In India, the ancient epic of
521
00:20:21,366 --> 00:20:23,635
the Mahabharata describes
522
00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:25,206
visitations from gods that
523
00:20:25,274 --> 00:20:26,441
possessed the advanced
524
00:20:26,541 --> 00:20:29,179
technology of space travel.
525
00:20:29,245 --> 00:20:30,614
Von D NIKEN: There you can
526
00:20:30,650 --> 00:20:32,452
read, some thousands of years
527
00:20:32,518 --> 00:20:35,790
ago, gigantic cities surrounded
528
00:20:35,825 --> 00:20:36,792
our planet.
529
00:20:36,827 --> 00:20:38,528
They used the word "cities,"
530
00:20:38,596 --> 00:20:40,231
because they had no word for
531
00:20:40,265 --> 00:20:42,134
"mother spaceship."
532
00:20:42,168 --> 00:20:44,138
And of a sudden, out of these
533
00:20:44,172 --> 00:20:46,409
cities, smaller spacecrafts
534
00:20:46,442 --> 00:20:47,877
came out.
535
00:20:47,979 --> 00:20:49,715
Of course, in ancient India,
536
00:20:49,814 --> 00:20:50,883
they had no word like
537
00:20:50,916 --> 00:20:52,886
"spacecraft," so they called it
538
00:20:52,955 --> 00:20:54,890
"Vimana."
539
00:20:58,463 --> 00:20:59,898
>> NARRATOR: The ancient texts
540
00:20:59,932 --> 00:21:01,734
of the Hebrew Bible also
541
00:21:01,802 --> 00:21:03,737
describes a prophet who traveled
542
00:21:03,805 --> 00:21:05,273
the skies in a sophisticated
543
00:21:05,307 --> 00:21:08,979
machine.
544
00:21:09,015 --> 00:21:11,283
>> Von D NIKEN: Who is Enoch?
545
00:21:11,353 --> 00:21:14,257
He was the seventh antediluvian
546
00:21:14,291 --> 00:21:16,927
prophet in the Old Testament,
547
00:21:16,996 --> 00:21:18,263
including the Torah of the
548
00:21:18,330 --> 00:21:20,199
Jewish community.
549
00:21:20,233 --> 00:21:22,169
Enoch is only described with two
550
00:21:22,204 --> 00:21:24,274
phrases, that's all.
551
00:21:24,307 --> 00:21:25,876
And it says that the Lord took
552
00:21:25,911 --> 00:21:27,745
him away in a fiery chariot
553
00:21:27,813 --> 00:21:31,285
into the heaven.
554
00:21:31,386 --> 00:21:32,754
>> NARRATOR: But technology was
555
00:21:32,787 --> 00:21:34,391
not the only characteristic
556
00:21:34,457 --> 00:21:36,125
these ancient deities had in
557
00:21:36,195 --> 00:21:37,130
common.
558
00:21:37,197 --> 00:21:39,132
According to legends, the gods
559
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,935
enjoyed intimate relations with
560
00:21:41,003 --> 00:21:42,136
humans.
561
00:21:42,206 --> 00:21:44,141
But if aliens did choose human
562
00:21:44,208 --> 00:21:47,046
women as their sexual partners,
563
00:21:47,112 --> 00:21:49,014
what was their motivation?
564
00:21:49,049 --> 00:21:51,218
And just what was the outcome of
565
00:21:51,286 --> 00:21:53,957
these very close encounters?
566
00:22:01,782 --> 00:22:03,419
NARRATOR: Ancient myths are
567
00:22:03,451 --> 00:22:04,686
full of stories of gods
568
00:22:04,721 --> 00:22:06,624
descending to Earth to mate with
569
00:22:06,658 --> 00:22:08,826
humans.
570
00:22:08,827 --> 00:22:09,963
CHILDRESS: According to many
571
00:22:09,997 --> 00:22:11,130
sources, including Norse
572
00:22:11,165 --> 00:22:12,966
mythology, Greek mythology and
573
00:22:13,035 --> 00:22:15,071
even the Bible, we have the
574
00:22:15,139 --> 00:22:17,710
stories of the sons of God,
575
00:22:17,743 --> 00:22:20,046
or actual gods, from Mount
576
00:22:20,081 --> 00:22:22,082
Olympus or Valhalla, and
577
00:22:22,150 --> 00:22:24,287
they're coming to Earth.
578
00:22:24,354 --> 00:22:26,624
They find, uh, the daughters of
579
00:22:26,691 --> 00:22:28,227
men attractive.
580
00:22:28,261 --> 00:22:29,528
TSOUKALOS: When all these
581
00:22:29,597 --> 00:22:31,099
encounters happened, and when
582
00:22:31,166 --> 00:22:34,337
women slept with those gods...
583
00:22:34,372 --> 00:22:37,008
which can be found in multiple
584
00:22:37,076 --> 00:22:42,284
texts all around the planet...
585
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:44,855
that those women actually had
586
00:22:44,889 --> 00:22:47,192
sex with extraterrestrials,
587
00:22:47,227 --> 00:22:48,662
not with gods.
588
00:22:48,696 --> 00:22:50,765
'Cause gods do not exist.
589
00:22:50,766 --> 00:22:53,136
(thunder crashing, rumbling)
590
00:22:53,203 --> 00:22:53,970
NARRATOR: According to
591
00:22:54,039 --> 00:22:56,241
Homer's Iliad, the citizens of
592
00:22:56,275 --> 00:22:57,844
Sparta were renowned for their
593
00:22:57,879 --> 00:22:59,681
heroic warriors and their
594
00:22:59,716 --> 00:23:01,985
beautiful women.
595
00:23:02,052 --> 00:23:04,989
Zeus, the Greek God of the sky,
596
00:23:05,058 --> 00:23:09,163
admired a human named Leda.
597
00:23:09,232 --> 00:23:11,434
One afternoon, while Leda walked
598
00:23:11,468 --> 00:23:13,336
alone in an orchard, Zeus
599
00:23:13,405 --> 00:23:16,341
changed into a swan, enveloped
600
00:23:16,444 --> 00:23:18,446
her in his powerful wings, and
601
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,981
made love to her.
602
00:23:20,049 --> 00:23:22,351
Only later did Leda realize she
603
00:23:22,454 --> 00:23:25,858
had been impregnated by a God.
604
00:23:25,893 --> 00:23:27,061
CHILDRESS: When you look at
605
00:23:27,095 --> 00:23:29,364
Greek mythology, and many of the
606
00:23:29,431 --> 00:23:31,701
mythologies around the world,
607
00:23:31,736 --> 00:23:34,407
they have these stories of gods
608
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,877
coming down from the sky, and
609
00:23:36,912 --> 00:23:38,446
have sexual intercourse
610
00:23:38,514 --> 00:23:41,251
with these humans, and, in a
611
00:23:41,285 --> 00:23:43,622
sense, create a new breed of
612
00:23:43,689 --> 00:23:45,625
human.
613
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:49,632
NARRATOR: The offspring of
614
00:23:49,699 --> 00:23:51,435
these couplings were described
615
00:23:51,504 --> 00:23:53,672
by the ancients as demigods, or
616
00:23:53,740 --> 00:23:57,847
half-gods.
617
00:23:57,881 --> 00:23:59,682
Experts suggest demigods were
618
00:23:59,750 --> 00:24:01,953
supernatural hybrid beings of
619
00:24:01,988 --> 00:24:05,660
human and alien origin.
620
00:24:05,727 --> 00:24:07,462
Ancient Greeks believed these
621
00:24:07,496 --> 00:24:10,433
beings were exceptional...
622
00:24:10,470 --> 00:24:11,670
and destined to perform
623
00:24:11,704 --> 00:24:16,112
extraordinary feats.
624
00:24:16,113 --> 00:24:19,049
COPPENS: It is a tradition in
625
00:24:19,116 --> 00:24:21,220
many civilizations that there
626
00:24:21,321 --> 00:24:22,924
were certain human children
627
00:24:22,958 --> 00:24:25,227
who were somehow not human, but
628
00:24:25,294 --> 00:24:27,096
somehow had a connection to the
629
00:24:27,131 --> 00:24:31,772
stars, to a realm beyond Earth.
630
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,109
And this specialness seems to be
631
00:24:34,143 --> 00:24:35,410
there from birth, and it somehow
632
00:24:35,512 --> 00:24:37,248
seems to involve a DNA
633
00:24:37,315 --> 00:24:39,383
component, which maybe science
634
00:24:39,418 --> 00:24:40,853
needs to look at, and needs
635
00:24:40,921 --> 00:24:43,122
to study.
636
00:24:43,191 --> 00:24:44,392
NARRATOR: Some of the oldest
637
00:24:44,427 --> 00:24:46,262
accounts of gods and humans
638
00:24:46,296 --> 00:24:48,433
interbreeding can be found in
639
00:24:48,467 --> 00:24:51,404
ancient Hindu texts.
640
00:24:51,439 --> 00:24:52,340
CREMO: In the ancient
641
00:24:52,407 --> 00:24:54,210
Sanskrit writings of India, we
642
00:24:54,244 --> 00:24:56,346
find this account:
643
00:24:56,414 --> 00:24:59,952
A Queen named Kunti mated with
644
00:25:00,052 --> 00:25:02,322
a celestial being, an
645
00:25:02,357 --> 00:25:04,160
extraterrestrial, who was known
646
00:25:04,194 --> 00:25:06,831
as the sun God.
647
00:25:06,832 --> 00:25:10,871
The product of this mating was
648
00:25:10,940 --> 00:25:13,041
Karna, one of the heroes of the
649
00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:19,518
Indian epic, the Mahabharata.
650
00:25:19,587 --> 00:25:20,688
NARRATOR: Perhaps the most
651
00:25:20,755 --> 00:25:22,392
famous demigod is the Greek
652
00:25:22,425 --> 00:25:24,695
hero Heracles, also known as
653
00:25:24,763 --> 00:25:29,336
the Roman Hercules.
654
00:25:29,371 --> 00:25:32,841
Heracles was half-man/half-god,
655
00:25:32,876 --> 00:25:34,612
conceived in the union of Zeus
656
00:25:34,645 --> 00:25:36,748
and a mortal woman named
657
00:25:36,783 --> 00:25:38,752
Alcmene.
658
00:25:42,225 --> 00:25:43,994
Mainstream scholars have often
659
00:25:44,028 --> 00:25:45,931
dismissed the tales of demigods
660
00:25:45,999 --> 00:25:48,001
as fantasy.
661
00:25:48,035 --> 00:25:50,005
(thunder crashing)
662
00:25:50,038 --> 00:25:52,008
But ancient astronaut theorists
663
00:25:52,042 --> 00:25:54,079
believe they reflect actual
664
00:25:54,112 --> 00:25:58,185
living entities.
665
00:25:58,220 --> 00:26:00,389
CREMO: These types of
666
00:26:00,457 --> 00:26:02,392
accounts in the ancient wisdom
667
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:05,364
traditions have a modern
668
00:26:05,399 --> 00:26:10,973
equivalent in accounts of alien
669
00:26:11,008 --> 00:26:14,212
terrestrial hybrids, which is
670
00:26:14,246 --> 00:26:16,416
part of the modern UFO alien
671
00:26:16,450 --> 00:26:19,522
abduction type of account.
672
00:26:21,593 --> 00:26:25,032
It's remarkable that we find,
673
00:26:25,133 --> 00:26:27,869
in these modern reports, exact
674
00:26:27,904 --> 00:26:29,238
equivalents in the ancient
675
00:26:29,305 --> 00:26:31,308
accounts.
676
00:26:31,309 --> 00:26:34,414
That suggests that we're
677
00:26:34,448 --> 00:26:37,420
dealing with realities here.
678
00:26:37,454 --> 00:26:39,689
We're not just dealing with
679
00:26:39,757 --> 00:26:42,828
imaginary stories.
680
00:26:42,862 --> 00:26:44,697
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
681
00:26:44,766 --> 00:26:46,601
theorists say the term "star
682
00:26:46,636 --> 00:26:48,237
children" is another way to
683
00:26:48,272 --> 00:26:49,940
describe the offspring of
684
00:26:49,974 --> 00:26:50,941
humans and ancient
685
00:26:50,976 --> 00:26:53,846
extraterrestrials.
686
00:26:53,881 --> 00:26:55,317
They claim that in the early
687
00:26:55,383 --> 00:26:57,118
traditions of nearly every
688
00:26:57,152 --> 00:26:59,223
major world religion,
689
00:26:59,256 --> 00:27:00,591
"star children" correlate to
690
00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:01,861
supernatural beings known as
691
00:27:01,895 --> 00:27:03,896
"gods."
692
00:27:03,897 --> 00:27:05,432
TSOUKALOS: "Star child" is
693
00:27:05,502 --> 00:27:07,337
an often-used reference in
694
00:27:07,404 --> 00:27:10,074
ancient texts when a woman had
695
00:27:10,143 --> 00:27:11,711
a quote, unquote "divine
696
00:27:11,744 --> 00:27:13,481
interaction" with one of the
697
00:27:13,515 --> 00:27:17,888
gods, often resulting in a woman
698
00:27:17,923 --> 00:27:21,160
being pregnant without having
699
00:27:21,195 --> 00:27:23,531
slept with anyone.
700
00:27:23,532 --> 00:27:26,536
You know, is such a thing even
701
00:27:26,603 --> 00:27:27,671
possible?
702
00:27:27,705 --> 00:27:29,174
Yes, it is.
703
00:27:29,208 --> 00:27:31,311
Today, artificial insemination.
704
00:27:31,346 --> 00:27:33,181
That's what happens today.
705
00:27:33,250 --> 00:27:34,683
You no longer have to have sex
706
00:27:34,717 --> 00:27:36,085
in order to have babies.
707
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:37,889
We have the exact same
708
00:27:37,956 --> 00:27:40,325
description thousands of years
709
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:41,694
ago, where women, without
710
00:27:41,729 --> 00:27:43,999
sleeping with anyone, all of a
711
00:27:44,066 --> 00:27:45,902
sudden became pregnant, and the
712
00:27:45,936 --> 00:27:47,639
question is how is that
713
00:27:47,706 --> 00:27:49,007
possible?
714
00:27:49,041 --> 00:27:50,644
NARRATOR: Did aliens that
715
00:27:50,711 --> 00:27:52,180
came to Earth in ancient times
716
00:27:52,248 --> 00:27:53,548
use advanced fertility

technology?

CHILDRESS: Within Greek
719
00:27:57,322 --> 00:27:59,358
mythology you have many strange
720
00:27:59,427 --> 00:28:02,530
stories of centaurs, uh...
721
00:28:02,599 --> 00:28:05,702
cyclops, weird genetically

00:28:05,736 --> 00:28:08,241
human, uh, half animal
723
00:28:08,274 --> 00:28:10,611
creations.
724
00:28:10,646 --> 00:28:13,217
And you have to speculate,
725
00:28:13,250 --> 00:28:14,952
at least to a point, that
726
00:28:14,987 --> 00:28:16,221
there's a possibility of
727
00:28:16,288 --> 00:28:18,925
strange genetic engineering
728
00:28:18,961 --> 00:28:21,663
going on here, and creating
729
00:28:21,764 --> 00:28:23,366
what are literal monsters in
730
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,370
the past.

writings of ancient
733
00:28:28,076 --> 00:28:31,146
civilizations, we see accounts
734
00:28:31,215 --> 00:28:33,951
of mating between
735
00:28:33,986 --> 00:28:36,555
extraterrestrial beings and
736
00:28:36,589 --> 00:28:40,362

of beings.
739
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,842
And why is that?
740
00:28:47,876 --> 00:28:50,311
I believe it's because it has
741
00:28:50,345 --> 00:28:53,417
actually happened in the past.

evidence these giant hybrids
748
00:29:05,340 --> 00:29:07,308
really existed?
749
00:29:14,695 --> 00:29:17,499
NARRATOR: Lovelock, Nevada.
750
00:29:17,533 --> 00:29:20,403
In the early 1800s, local
751
00:29:20,438 --> 00:29:21,873
legends passed down by the Piute
752
00:29:21,940 --> 00:29:24,343
Indians told of a race of
753
00:29:24,377 --> 00:29:26,212
giants who were exterminated by
754
00:29:26,248 --> 00:29:29,218
their tribe.
755
00:29:29,253 --> 00:29:31,688
It is said this was done by
756
00:29:31,756 --> 00:29:33,692
trapping the giants in a cave,
757
00:29:33,727 --> 00:29:35,529
shooting arrows at them, and
758
00:29:35,597 --> 00:29:37,533
then starting a large fire at
759
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,404
the mouth of the cave.
760
00:29:40,438 --> 00:29:42,774
Evidence of the slaughter lay
761
00:29:42,842 --> 00:29:45,346

00:30:03,278 --> 00:30:04,512
NARRATOR: In need of
769
00:30:04,545 --> 00:30:05,982
fertilizer for their crops, the
770
00:30:06,050 --> 00:30:07,317
ranchers removed nearly ten
771
00:30:07,418 --> 00:30:09,521
feet of guano-enriched soil
772
00:30:09,554 --> 00:30:11,524
from the surface of the cave.
773
00:30:17,535 --> 00:30:21,675
They found up to 40 or 50 people
774
00:30:21,710 --> 00:30:25,348
inside this cave.
775
00:30:25,382 --> 00:30:28,050
One was allegedly seven feet,
776
00:30:28,087 --> 00:30:30,857
seven inches tall.
777
00:30:30,892 --> 00:30:34,263
They all had long, red hair and
778
00:30:34,330 --> 00:30:36,267
were literal giants.
779
00:30:38,404 --> 00:30:39,705
NARRATOR: If these skeletons
780
00:30:39,773 --> 00:30:41,541
were the remains of the
781
00:30:41,576 --> 00:30:43,312
legendary red-haired giants,
782
00:30:43,345 --> 00:30:45,315
were they visitors from distant
783
00:30:45,349 --> 00:30:47,318
continents?
784
00:30:47,352 --> 00:30:48,587
CHILDRESS: Throughout the
785
00:30:48,621 --> 00:30:50,590
19th century, many giant
786
00:30:50,624 --> 00:30:52,093
skeletons were allegedly
787
00:30:52,128 --> 00:30:54,498
discovered in the Midwest, also
788
00:30:54,531 --> 00:30:56,600
in parts of California and
789
00:30:56,669 --> 00:30:58,137
around Death Valley.
790
00:30:58,171 --> 00:31:00,974
And the skeletons here, found at
791
00:31:01,008 --> 00:31:03,412
Lovelock, are one of the few
792
00:31:03,479 --> 00:31:05,983
that were really excavated by
793
00:31:06,017 --> 00:31:08,622
an accredited university.
794
00:31:08,690 --> 00:31:09,791
NARRATOR: Archaeologists from
795
00:31:09,856 --> 00:31:11,493
the Nevada Historical Society
796
00:31:11,527 --> 00:31:12,761
and the University of
797
00:31:12,796 --> 00:31:15,167
California believe the cave was
798
00:31:15,201 --> 00:31:16,970
occupied from approximately
799
00:31:17,037 --> 00:31:19,708
1500 BC until a few hundred
800
00:31:19,742 --> 00:31:21,979
years before white men appeared
801
00:31:22,045 --> 00:31:25,684
in the Nevada territory.
802
00:31:25,752 --> 00:31:28,756
75 miles from the cave site,
803
00:31:28,790 --> 00:31:30,927
a local museum has preserved
804
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,596
several skulls that some
805
00:31:32,630 --> 00:31:34,498
believe are recovered remains
806
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,603
of the giants.
807
00:31:37,638 --> 00:31:39,507
CHILDRESS: Inside this
808
00:31:39,541 --> 00:31:42,612
cabinet here, are three skulls
809
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,618
from the Lovelock caves.
810
00:31:45,685 --> 00:31:48,790
When you first see these skulls,
811
00:31:48,824 --> 00:31:51,595
they seem to be pretty much
812
00:31:51,662 --> 00:31:54,666
normal-looking skulls.
813
00:31:54,667 --> 00:31:57,805
However, it's when we really
814
00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:01,244
start to compare the jawbones
815
00:32:01,312 --> 00:32:04,315
with this modern dental
816
00:32:04,351 --> 00:32:07,321
impression of a normal adult
817
00:32:07,356 --> 00:32:10,995
male, that we see that these
818
00:32:11,029 --> 00:32:14,066
jawbones are unusually large.
819
00:32:14,168 --> 00:32:16,771
And these are, really, the
820
00:32:16,806 --> 00:32:20,177
skulls of giant people who were
821
00:32:20,211 --> 00:32:22,347
perhaps seven, even eight feet
822
00:32:22,381 --> 00:32:24,350
tall.
823
00:32:24,385 --> 00:32:27,055
One of the odd things with these
824
00:32:27,090 --> 00:32:29,259
skulls is that they're not
825
00:32:29,359 --> 00:32:31,362
actually put on display here at
826
00:32:31,397 --> 00:32:31,997
the museum.
827
00:32:32,064 --> 00:32:33,265
And they're kept hidden in this
828
00:32:33,367 --> 00:32:35,368
cabinet.
829
00:32:35,369 --> 00:32:36,705
Now, we don't know if that's
830
00:32:36,739 --> 00:32:38,174
really, uh, just out of, um,
831
00:32:38,241 --> 00:32:41,079
respect for, uh, Native
832
00:32:41,114 --> 00:32:42,815
Americans, or whether there's
833
00:32:42,883 --> 00:32:44,184
really something unusual about
834
00:32:44,251 --> 00:32:46,355
these giant skulls that they
835
00:32:46,422 --> 00:32:49,060
don't want them to display.
836
00:32:49,094 --> 00:32:50,195
NARRATOR: Are the Nevada
837
00:32:50,262 --> 00:32:52,064
bones evidence of a race of
838
00:32:52,099 --> 00:32:53,634
giants that existed all through
839
00:32:53,735 --> 00:32:56,739
early human history?
840
00:32:56,773 --> 00:32:59,911
If so, could the giants be the
841
00:32:59,945 --> 00:33:01,013
descendants of
842
00:33:01,081 --> 00:33:02,916
extraterrestrials?
843
00:33:02,951 --> 00:33:04,652
According to the Hebrew
844
00:33:04,754 --> 00:33:07,024
Testament, one such giant
845
00:33:07,091 --> 00:33:09,394
appeared in the valley of Elah
846
00:33:09,428 --> 00:33:11,932
2,500 years ago.
847
00:33:11,966 --> 00:33:15,103
Each morning, for 40 days, a
848
00:33:15,137 --> 00:33:17,374
Philistine giant over nine feet
849
00:33:17,441 --> 00:33:19,111
tall challenged the Israelites
850
00:33:19,179 --> 00:33:22,249
to a fight.
851
00:33:22,317 --> 00:33:24,187
His name was Goliath.
852
00:33:26,723 --> 00:33:27,825
COPPENS: David and Goliath
853
00:33:27,893 --> 00:33:28,826
is one of those episodes
854
00:33:28,894 --> 00:33:30,664
in the Bible where you
855
00:33:30,731 --> 00:33:32,834
wonder what is going on.
856
00:33:32,901 --> 00:33:35,773
Is it t just a metaphor or are e
857
00:33:35,806 --> 00:33:37,241
dealing with a fundamental
858
00:33:37,275 --> 00:33:38,678
interpretation?
859
00:33:38,745 --> 00:33:40,414
And in that sense, Goliath has
860
00:33:40,448 --> 00:33:42,685
to be a giant creature.
861
00:33:42,686 --> 00:33:45,120
The question then is: "He cannot
862
00:33:45,155 --> 00:33:47,092
be human. What is he?"
863
00:33:48,629 --> 00:33:50,096
NARRATOR: David's stunning
864
00:33:50,164 --> 00:33:52,300
triumph over Goliath was
865
00:33:52,335 --> 00:33:54,637
considered a mere fable,
866
00:33:54,671 --> 00:33:56,075
until archaeologists turned up
867
00:33:56,140 --> 00:33:58,345
evidence that suggests this
868
00:33:58,445 --> 00:34:01,917
confrontation really did happen.
869
00:34:01,985 --> 00:34:03,953
On the outskirts of
870
00:34:03,987 --> 00:34:06,458
Tell Es-Safi, Israel, scientists
871
00:34:06,492 --> 00:34:07,960
discovered a moat that may have
872
00:34:07,995 --> 00:34:09,264
once protected the Philistine
873
00:34:09,331 --> 00:34:11,066
fortress.
874
00:34:11,101 --> 00:34:13,371
Nearby, they found shards of
875
00:34:13,437 --> 00:34:15,642
pottery inscribed with the name
876
00:34:15,708 --> 00:34:17,811
Goliath.
877
00:34:17,845 --> 00:34:20,650
Tests indicate the pottery is
878
00:34:20,717 --> 00:34:22,552
from the same time period as
879
00:34:22,654 --> 00:34:24,556
described in the Bible.
880
00:34:24,623 --> 00:34:26,992
Ancient astronaut theorists
881
00:34:27,027 --> 00:34:28,896
claim this is unmistakable
882
00:34:28,998 --> 00:34:31,334
evidence of extraterrestrial
883
00:34:31,368 --> 00:34:34,339
giants in biblical times.
884
00:34:34,373 --> 00:34:37,378
And they say there is much more.
885
00:34:41,752 --> 00:34:43,221
The most common megalithic
886
00:34:43,289 --> 00:34:44,856
construction known is the
887
00:34:44,925 --> 00:34:46,225
dolmen.
888
00:34:46,261 --> 00:34:47,929
Believed to be burial chambers,
889
00:34:47,963 --> 00:34:49,398
they are found throughout
890
00:34:49,433 --> 00:34:51,234
Europe, the Middle East, South
891
00:34:51,269 --> 00:34:53,405
America, and Asia.
892
00:34:53,473 --> 00:34:56,042
Could these mega structures be
893
00:34:56,111 --> 00:34:58,046
the ruins of giants?
894
00:34:59,282 --> 00:35:01,018
COPPENS: Archeology likes
895
00:35:01,086 --> 00:35:02,921
to use the word "dolmen," but
896
00:35:02,956 --> 00:35:04,191
they were formerly known in
897
00:35:04,256 --> 00:35:06,261
folklore as "giant's graves."
898
00:35:06,262 --> 00:35:07,729
FATHER William FULCO: A
899
00:35:07,763 --> 00:35:10,033
dolmen is shaped like the Greek
900
00:35:10,102 --> 00:35:11,903
letter "pi" with the top on it.
901
00:35:11,938 --> 00:35:13,171
And they're made of enormous
902
00:35:13,207 --> 00:35:15,777
blocks of limestone.
903
00:35:15,778 --> 00:35:17,947
And even today, it's...
904
00:35:17,981 --> 00:35:19,049
We are marveled that anyone
905
00:35:19,116 --> 00:35:20,218
could construct those things,
906
00:35:20,285 --> 00:35:22,086
and wonder how they got the top
907
00:35:22,122 --> 00:35:23,656
on top of the uprights.
908
00:35:23,758 --> 00:35:25,293
And those were built during the
909
00:35:25,327 --> 00:35:26,395
Middle Bronze Period, which is
910
00:35:26,462 --> 00:35:29,465
roughly 2000 to 1500 before the
911
00:35:29,501 --> 00:35:30,567
common era.
912
00:35:30,635 --> 00:35:32,038
So seeing things like that,
913
00:35:32,106 --> 00:35:33,406
people questioned, those
914
00:35:33,474 --> 00:35:34,409
must've been made by giants.
915
00:35:34,475 --> 00:35:35,778
I mean, ordinary people could
916
00:35:35,812 --> 00:35:36,945
not have done that.
917
00:35:37,013 --> 00:35:38,949
COPPENS: Are we dealing with
918
00:35:38,985 --> 00:35:40,284
metaphors or are we dealing
919
00:35:40,319 --> 00:35:42,422
with hard evidence?
920
00:35:42,490 --> 00:35:43,757
Are these physical creatures
921
00:35:43,825 --> 00:35:45,461
which somehow roamed the earth?
922
00:35:45,495 --> 00:35:47,697
And I think, on volume, we have
923
00:35:47,765 --> 00:35:49,767
to accept that some of these
924
00:35:49,835 --> 00:35:51,070
were real.
925
00:35:51,104 --> 00:35:52,872
The question, then, is how did
926
00:35:52,941 --> 00:35:54,876
these genetic freaks come about?
927
00:35:55,946 --> 00:35:57,714
TSOUKALOS: One of the main
928
00:35:57,782 --> 00:35:58,883
tenets of ancient astronaut
929
00:35:58,917 --> 00:36:00,686
theory suggests that a long
930
00:36:00,754 --> 00:36:03,057
time ago, extraterrestrials
931
00:36:03,125 --> 00:36:05,895
changed our genetic makeup
932
00:36:05,963 --> 00:36:08,599
through a targeted mutation of
933
00:36:08,633 --> 00:36:10,871
our genes, essentially in the
934
00:36:10,904 --> 00:36:12,941
lab.
935
00:36:12,942 --> 00:36:15,144
So they took a couple of human
936
00:36:15,178 --> 00:36:18,617
beings, altered their DNA, then
937
00:36:18,685 --> 00:36:21,254
reinserted those people back
938
00:36:21,323 --> 00:36:23,960
into the population, so through
939
00:36:23,994 --> 00:36:26,263
procreation, those people would
940
00:36:26,331 --> 00:36:27,966
pass on those new genetic
941
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,970
alterations to the entire
942
00:36:30,004 --> 00:36:31,974
population.
943
00:36:32,007 --> 00:36:33,141
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
944
00:36:33,176 --> 00:36:35,145
theorists suggest the evidence
945
00:36:35,180 --> 00:36:37,315
points to one conclusion, that
946
00:36:37,351 --> 00:36:39,887
aliens changed the genetics of
947
00:36:39,988 --> 00:36:42,625
early human DNA.
948
00:36:42,659 --> 00:36:44,562
COPPENS: For an alien being
949
00:36:44,629 --> 00:36:47,566
to work with DNA is so easy
950
00:36:47,635 --> 00:36:49,938
that just creating a new type
951
00:36:49,972 --> 00:36:52,276
is not at all that difficult.
952
00:36:52,309 --> 00:36:53,943
Even today, we have the
953
00:36:53,977 --> 00:36:55,713
capability to create new types
954
00:36:55,749 --> 00:36:57,717
of animals.
955
00:36:57,752 --> 00:36:59,721
The question is, were we
956
00:36:59,754 --> 00:37:02,592
created as such, as well?
957
00:37:02,659 --> 00:37:03,928
NARRATOR: But what reason
958
00:37:03,995 --> 00:37:05,831

00:37:13,344 --> 00:37:15,112
kind of scientific experiment
964
00:37:15,181 --> 00:37:17,117
gone terribly wrong?
965
00:37:19,555 --> 00:37:21,490
Did ancient aliens have some

00:37:21,558 --> 00:37:23,495
reason to experiment with human

NARRATOR: The Galapagos
969
00:37:34,893 --> 00:37:36,593
Islands, off the coast of South
970
00:37:36,695 --> 00:37:38,698
America, are known for their
971
00:37:38,733 --> 00:37:40,668
unique biodiversity.
972
00:37:42,639 --> 00:37:45,342
In 1832, a naturalist named
973
00:37:45,378 --> 00:37:48,582
Charles Darwin came to these
islands to observe and record
974
00:37:48,615 --> 00:37:50,885
several species of animals not
975
00:37:50,953 --> 00:37:52,656
seen before.
976
00:37:52,723 --> 00:37:54,658
The result of his studies
977
00:37:54,726 --> 00:37:56,195
formed the basis for his
978
00:37:56,262 --> 00:37:58,299
controversial book, The Origin
979
00:37:58,399 --> 00:38:00,034
of Species.
980
00:38:00,103 --> 00:38:02,206
In it, Darwin proposed his
981
00:38:02,272 --> 00:38:03,908
theory of evolution, which
982
00:38:03,941 --> 00:38:06,011
held that all life evolved over
983
00:38:06,046 --> 00:38:07,681
time, through a process of
984
00:38:07,749 --> 00:38:10,319
natural selection.
985
00:38:10,386 --> 00:38:12,757
But even Darwin's theories
986
00:38:12,825 --> 00:38:14,226
could not explain the
987
00:38:14,293 --> 00:38:15,760
developmental gap between apes
988
00:38:15,795 --> 00:38:18,098
and man.
989
00:38:18,134 --> 00:38:21,105
There was, it was believed,
990
00:38:21,139 --> 00:38:22,940
a transitional species that had
991
00:38:23,008 --> 00:38:25,043
to exist, one which became
992
00:38:25,112 --> 00:38:26,681
referred to as, "the missing
993
00:38:26,781 --> 00:38:29,151

1004
00:38:56,832 --> 00:38:59,570
cannot quite put a finger on
1005
00:38:59,637 --> 00:39:02,808
how our brain volume tripled in
1006
00:39:02,842 --> 00:39:05,947
a very short time period.
1007
00:39:06,015 --> 00:39:08,652

mixed creatures?
1075
00:41:24,885 --> 00:41:27,022
What's the purpose of it?
1076
00:41:27,023 --> 00:41:29,959
Did they observe a lion, and
1077
00:41:29,993 --> 00:41:32,598
they say to themself, "Why don't

00:43:44,490 --> 00:43:46,225
Was it to save their own
1149
00:43:46,293 --> 00:43:47,661
species?
1150
00:43:47,697 --> 00:43:49,597
Or, perhaps, hide the genetic
1151
00:43:49,633 --> 00:43:50,867
traces of their presence here
1152
00:43:50,934 --> 00:43:51,435
on Earth?
1153
00:43:51,502 --> 00:43:54,696
Could there even be aliens
1154
00:43:54,985 --> 00:43:56,649
living among us?
