1
00:00:03.880 --> 00:00:07.509
[ Man Narrating ]
A civilization suddenly destroyed.
2
00:00:07.592 --> 00:00:10.679
[ Man ] I think they possessed
incredible technology...
3
00:00:10.762 --> 00:00:12.847
and then something happened.
4
00:00:12.931 --> 00:00:16.768
[ Narrator]
Centuries of knowledge wiped out forever.
5
00:00:16.851 --> 00:00:18.853
[ Man ]
When these books were all destroyed...
6
00:00:18.937 --> 00:00:23.274
it was a way of setting the knowledge
back to zero.
7
00:00:24.234 --> 00:00:26.569
[ Narrator]
And the world's most powerful weapons...
8
00:00:26.653 --> 00:00:29.656
inexplicably taken off-line.
9
00:00:29.739 --> 00:00:33.201
We were being sent a message.
“We are watching.”
10
00:00:33.284 --> 00:00:37.288
[ Narrator] Is it possible that
extraterrestrials have intervened...
11
00:00:37.372 --> 00:00:41.751
at key moments in our history
to manipulate our progress?
12
00:00:42.794 --> 00:00:46.381
And if so, what is their ultimate goal?
13
00:00:47.215 --> 00:00:52.303
[Woman ] There are extraterrestrials that
want to see humanity evolve and grow...
14
00:00:52.387 --> 00:00:56.641
and another group
that wants us destroyed.
15
00:00:57.475 --> 00:00:59.811
[ Narrator]
Millions of people around the world...
16
00:00:59.894 --> 00:01:04.566
believe we have been visited in the past
by extraterrestrial beings.
17
00:01:04.649 --> 00:01:06.818
What if it were true?
18
00:01:07.694 --> 00:01:12.730
Did ancient aliens really help
to shape our history?
19
00:01:12.157 --> 00:01:13.742
And if so...
20
00:01:13.825 --> 00:01:19.289
is the advancement of mankind
determined by an alien agenda?
21
00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:52.947
Washington, DC.
22
00:01:53.310 --> 00:01:55.330
2013.
23
00:01:56.659 --> 00:01:59.120
At the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure...
24
00:01:59.204 --> 00:02:02.791
six former members
of the United States Congress...
25
00:02:02.874 --> 00:02:04.334
listened to testimony...
26
00:02:04.417 --> 00:02:08.129
from former high-ranking
government and military officials...
27
00:02:08.213 --> 00:02:12.133
along with a variety
of scientists and researchers...
28
00:02:12.217 --> 00:02:16.638
about extraterrestrial presence
engaging the human race.
29
00:02:17.889 --> 00:02:22.727
One of the speakers was former
Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer.
30
00:02:25.563 --> 00:02:28.399
The American people and the people
of the world have a right to know.
31
00:02:28.483 --> 00:02:33.363
UFOs are as real
as the airplanes flying overhead.
32
00:02:34.823 --> 00:02:37.826
We live in a cosmos
teaming with life.
33
00:02:40.119 --> 00:02:44.207
[ Man ] To have a former defense minister
and deputy prime minister...
34
00:02:44.290 --> 00:02:48.127
come out and say
that the UFO phenomenon is real...
35
00:02:48.211 --> 00:02:51.500
and that we're being visited
and that there's a government cover-up...
36
00:02:51.890 --> 00:02:53.842
is in of itself sensational.
37
00:02:56.940 --> 00:02:58.680
And he also expressed the view...
38
00:02:58.763 --> 00:03:04.180
that some alien civilizations
are concerned about humanity...
39
00:03:04.102 --> 00:03:07.188
and do not want to share technology
with the human race...
40
00:03:07.272 --> 00:03:12.986
for fear that we are not ready for it,
that we'll abuse that technology.
41
00:03:13.690 --> 00:03:17.699
We are, after all, a race that has used
atomic bombs on our own people.
42
00:03:23.663 --> 00:03:27.709
[ Narrator] Other distinguished speakers
at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure...
43
00:03:27.792 --> 00:03:31.296
included nuclear physicist
Stanton Friedman...
44
00:03:31.379 --> 00:03:34.757
retired air force captain,
Robert Salas...
45
00:03:34.841 --> 00:03:40.638
and a former official for the Federal
Aviation Administration, John Callahan...
46
00:03:40.722 --> 00:03:44.267
all of whom corroborated
Paul Hellyer's assertion...
47
00:03:44.350 --> 00:03:48.104
that we are being visited
by otherworldly beings.
48
00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:52.609
They also claim
that these visitors have an interest...
49
00:03:52.692 --> 00:03:54.986
in our technological advancements...
50
00:03:55.862 --> 00:03:59.574
especially when it comes
to nuclear weapons.
51
00:04:01.534 --> 00:04:06.706
These objects know in great detail
how our missiles operate.
52
00:04:06.789 --> 00:04:09.459
They can shut down our missiles
at any time.
53
00:04:09.542 --> 00:04:12.211
If you release that information
to the public...
54
00:04:12.295 --> 00:04:15.882
what do you say then
about, urn, you know...
55
00:04:15.965 --> 00:04:18.593
what kind of defense do we have
against these things?
56
00:04:21.679 --> 00:04:24.724
[ Narrator]
Could the UFO phenomenon be real?
57
00:04:25.808 --> 00:04:29.979
And is it possible that extraterrestrials
have been monitoring...
58
00:04:30.630 --> 00:04:32.482
and perhaps even interfering...
59
00:04:32.565 --> 00:04:35.568
with the technological advancement
of mankind?
60
00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:40.114
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...
61
00:04:40.198 --> 00:04:45.161
and suggest that the earliest
and perhaps strongest evidence of this...
62
00:04:45.244 --> 00:04:49.874
can be found in the biblical story
of the Tower of Babel.
63
00:04:52.293 --> 00:04:54.545
According to the Book of Genesis...
64
00:04:54.629 --> 00:04:59.509
the Tower of Babel was built in
Mesopotamia after the Great Flood.
65
00:04:59.592 --> 00:05:05.556
Some accounts suggest it reached
nearly 30 stories, or 300 feet tall.
66
00:05:05.640 --> 00:05:10.228
It was described as a bridge
between heaven and earth...
67
00:05:10.311 --> 00:05:12.647
built by a unified people.
68
00:05:12.730 --> 00:05:15.108
[ Man ]
In the Book of Genesis, chapter 11...
69
00:05:15.191 --> 00:05:20.488
it says, “In the beginning there was
only one language and few words.”
70
00:05:20.571 --> 00:05:22.490
And then a group of people
got together...
71
00:05:22.573 --> 00:05:25.201
and decided that things
could be improved.
72
00:05:25.910 --> 00:05:28.204
They learned how to make bricks...
73
00:05:28.287 --> 00:05:30.415
and this meant
they could build buildings.
74
00:05:32.333 --> 00:05:34.585
[ Man ] Someone got the idea
of building a tower-
75
00:05:34.669 --> 00:05:37.422
a tower to heaven
to make a name for ourselves.
76
00:05:37.505 --> 00:05:41.467
Well, this starts to become hubris,
where you start challenging the gods.
77
00:05:41.551 --> 00:05:43.940
This is a key idea-
78
00:05:43.177 --> 00:05:46.764
a certain kind of arrogance that is
starting to think that you are a god...
79
00:05:46.848 --> 00:05:49.934
and so as the tower lifts up,
God is annoyed.
80
00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:57.775
The powers up in the sky
thought, “Uh-huh.
81
00:05:57.859 --> 00:06:00.570
We cannot let them
succeed with this...
82
00:06:00.653 --> 00:06:04.657
because if they succeed in doing this,
who knows what they'll do next?”
83
00:06:06.451 --> 00:06:10.790
[ Man ] God comes down and says, “Wow,
they can actually accomplish this feat.
84
00:06:10.163 --> 00:06:13.410
They can actually build a tower
up into the heavens.
85
00:06:13.124 --> 00:06:15.752
So let's disperse their language...
86
00:06:15.835 --> 00:06:18.880
and then they can't communicate
and then they can't build this tower.”
87
00:06:22.258 --> 00:06:24.218
[ Narrator]
Biblical scholars contend...
88
00:06:24.302 --> 00:06:27.889
that the story merely attempts
to offer an explanation...
89
00:06:27.972 --> 00:06:30.391
for the various languages on Earth.
90
00:06:31.726 --> 00:06:34.520
But ancient astronaut theorists suggest...
91
00:06:34.604 --> 00:06:38.649
the biblical account may actually reveal
a greater truth...
92
00:06:38.733 --> 00:06:44.489
about extraterrestrial interest
in the technological progress of mankind.
93
00:06:46.324 --> 00:06:50.578
[ Man ] From the other literature
that we have peripheral to the Bible...
94
00:06:50.661 --> 00:06:53.247
a much deeper story is told.
95
00:06:53.331 --> 00:06:55.374
What was this tower?
96
00:06:55.458 --> 00:06:57.543
According to this ancient source...
97
00:06:57.627 --> 00:07:03.700
this ancient technology that they
discovered was to reach to the heavens.
98
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.219
[ Man ] When you look at the story
of the Tower of Babel...
99
00:07:06.302 --> 00:07:11.990
it's essentially a story of mankind
developing technology...
100
00:07:11.182 --> 00:07:16.771
and being like the gods,
being like our extraterrestrial creators.
101
00:07:16.854 --> 00:07:20.399
And therefore mankind was,
in a sense...
102
00:07:20.483 --> 00:07:23.694
kept from reaching a technological level.
103
00:07:24.987 --> 00:07:28.116
[ Man ] The word Babel
means “gate to God”...
104
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:32.453
and some believe that the gate to God
was, in fact, a star gate-
105
00:07:32.537 --> 00:07:36.916
a ladder, tower or stairway
that reached into the heavens.
106
00:07:36.999 --> 00:07:42.296
And so when God saw that humankind
were building a star gate...
107
00:07:42.380 --> 00:07:44.600
this was too much.
108
00:07:45.967 --> 00:07:48.469
[ Tzadok ]
Well, what happened next?
109
00:07:48.553 --> 00:07:53.150
Powers that be watched.
They observed.
110
00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:55.143
They spoke to one another saying...
111
00:07:55.226 --> 00:07:57.645
“We have to descend to the Earth...
112
00:07:57.728 --> 00:08:01.190
to bring an assault
upon the builders of the Tower.”
113
00:08:01.274 --> 00:08:03.317
What kind of an assault?
114
00:08:03.401 --> 00:08:05.361
The Biblical text is very clear.
115
00:08:05.444 --> 00:08:08.865
They touched the minds of the people...
116
00:08:08.948 --> 00:08:12.451
and corrupted their spirit of unity.
117
00:08:12.535 --> 00:08:17.456
[ Man ] The Tower of Babel story
really relates to a decision...
118
00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:20.168
that the so-called gods had made.
119
00:08:20.251 --> 00:08:23.588
Human beings were not only supposed
to speak different languages.
120
00:08:23.671 --> 00:08:26.716
They were also supposed
to fight with each other.
121
00:08:26.799 --> 00:08:29.177
They were supposed to come
into conflict with each other.
122
00:08:29.260 --> 00:08:31.710
And as long as they're
squabbling with each other...
123
00:08:31.950 --> 00:08:33.389
they're not gonna unite
and fight against you.
124
00:08:34.390 --> 00:08:37.101
[ Man ] I believe whoever
got involved realized...
125
00:08:37.185 --> 00:08:40.646
these human beings are coming along
pretty darned fast.
126
00:08:40.730 --> 00:08:43.983
We got to slow this down a little bit,
and that's what they did.
127
00:08:47.236 --> 00:08:51.449
[ Narrator] Is it possible, as some
ancient astronaut theorists suggest...
128
00:08:51.532 --> 00:08:56.370
that otherworldly beings have been carefully
watching the advancements of humans...
129
00:08:56.454 --> 00:08:57.955
and have intervened...
130
00:08:59.123 --> 00:09:04.921
creating barriers as a way to keep
mankind from obtaining powerful technology?
131
00:09:06.130 --> 00:09:08.925
Perhaps further clues
can be found...
132
00:09:09.800 --> 00:09:12.345
by examining the remnants
of an ancient civilization...
133
00:09:12.428 --> 00:09:17.160
that appears to have been destroyed
by a massive explosion.
134
00:09:24.315 --> 00:09:27.260
Sindh Province, Pakistan.
135
00:09:27.735 --> 00:09:29.946
1922.
136
00:09:30.988 --> 00:09:34.742
An officer
of the Archaeological Survey of India...
137
00:09:34.825 --> 00:09:36.827
is led by a Buddhist monk...
138
00:09:36.911 --> 00:09:40.331
to an area believed to have been
a religious monument.
139
00:09:41.916 --> 00:09:43.960
But under the mounds of dirt...
140
00:09:44.430 --> 00:09:48.381
archaeologists find instead
an ancient Indus Valley city...
141
00:09:48.464 --> 00:09:51.676
dating back to 2000 BC.
142
00:09:52.677 --> 00:09:57.306
It is called Mohenjo-daro,
or “mound of the dead.”
143
00:09:57.390 --> 00:10:01.769
And it is one of the oldest civilizations
discovered in the world.
144
00:10:04.355 --> 00:10:08.985
[ Bramley] Mohenjo-daro
was very advanced for that time.
145
00:10:10.778 --> 00:10:13.114
They had sanitation.
146
00:10:13.197 --> 00:10:15.449
They had all kinds
of good things going.
147
00:10:15.533 --> 00:10:18.536
And they had a lot of trade
going with Mesopotamia.
148
00:10:20.370 --> 00:10:23.874
[ Narrator] The city of Mohenjo-daro
rivaled the ancient civilizations...
149
00:10:23.958 --> 00:10:26.252
in Egypt and Mesopotamia.
150
00:10:28.754 --> 00:10:34.719
Archaeologists believe that over
35,000 people once occupied the city.
151
00:10:34.802 --> 00:10:39.807
However, only 43 skeletons
have been discovered at the site.
152
00:10:45.620 --> 00:10:48.441
There are many theories surrounding
the mysterious disappearance...
153
00:10:48.524 --> 00:10:51.736
of the Indus people
from Mohenjo-daro.
154
00:10:52.695 --> 00:10:57.330
In 1977,
British researcher David Davenport...
155
00:10:57.116 --> 00:11:01.495
discovered that part of
the archaeological site showed evidence...
156
00:11:01.579 --> 00:11:05.916
of having been destroyed
by an extremely powerful explosion.
157
00:11:08.169 --> 00:11:11.339
[Marl]
158
00:11:32.568 --> 00:11:37.448
[ Narrator] Scholars claim that several
calcified skeletons found at the site...
159
00:11:37.531 --> 00:11:41.160
suggest they suffered
an instantaneous death.
160
00:11:45.164 --> 00:11:48.584
[ Henry] At Mohenjo-Daro,
they found bodies arm in arm...
161
00:11:48.667 --> 00:11:53.255
skeletons, arm in arm, that had
been vitrified-virtually vitrified.
162
00:11:55.216 --> 00:11:58.386
[ Narrator]
For years, restricted access to the site...
163
00:11:58.469 --> 00:12:02.640
has prevented scientists
from analyzing the vitrified ruins.
164
00:12:04.141 --> 00:12:09.355
But in 2014,
mineralogist Dr. Sam Iyengar...
165
00:12:09.438 --> 00:12:13.401
was able to obtain a piece of fused pottery
from Mohenjo-daro...
166
00:12:13.484 --> 00:12:16.654
and put it through a series of tests.
167
00:12:16.737 --> 00:12:18.823
[Iyengar]
When I did the elemental analysis...
168
00:12:18.906 --> 00:12:22.368
it showed me
that the Mohenjo-daro rock...
169
00:12:22.451 --> 00:12:28.124
contained mostly silicon, aluminum,
with some calcium and potassium.
170
00:12:28.207 --> 00:12:32.860
So my thought was maybe
it could be some type of a clay...
171
00:12:32.169 --> 00:12:34.171
till I did the X-ray diffraction.
172
00:12:36.590 --> 00:12:39.635
[ Narrator]
X-ray diffraction is able to determine...
173
00:12:39.718 --> 00:12:42.471
exactly how a material was formed.
174
00:12:44.557 --> 00:12:47.309
[Iyengar]
When I did the X-ray powder diffraction...
175
00:12:47.393 --> 00:12:50.271
this is the pattern I got.
176
00:12:50.354 --> 00:12:54.108
And you can see
some crystalline peaks here...
177
00:12:54.191 --> 00:12:56.318
along with an amorphous hump...
178
00:12:56.402 --> 00:13:00.531
which usually results
from a glassy phase in the rock.
179
00:13:00.614 --> 00:13:04.410
The composition
is very similar to volcanic rock.
180
00:13:06.454 --> 00:13:11.375
The only way the clay can be converted
into something, which we saw...
181
00:13:11.459 --> 00:13:16.213
is subjecting the clays
to a very, very high temperature.
182
00:13:16.297 --> 00:13:20.426
I am talking
4,000 to 5,000-degree Fahrenheit.
183
00:13:21.719 --> 00:13:26.807
That is not something
a early civilization can do intentionally.
184
00:13:26.891 --> 00:13:30.144
It has to be something supernatural.
185
00:13:33.564 --> 00:13:35.316
[ Narrator]
Could this pottery sample...
186
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.987
which shows irrefutable evidence
of having been subjected to extreme heat...
187
00:13:41.864 --> 00:13:43.449
be definitive evidence...
188
00:13:43.532 --> 00:13:48.537
that Mohenjo-daro really was the site
of some type of powerful explosion...
189
00:13:48.621 --> 00:13:50.331
in the ancient past?
190
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:58.500
David Davenport and other researchers
of India's ancient Vedic texts...
191
00:13:58.880 --> 00:14:01.910
have suggested that this is the case...
192
00:14:01.175 --> 00:14:05.804
and that Mohenjo-daro may in fact
be the kingdom of Lanka-
193
00:14:07.473 --> 00:14:10.226
a city whose destruction is detailed...
194
00:14:10.309 --> 00:14:13.771
in the Indian epic
known as the Ramayana.
195
00:14:14.438 --> 00:14:16.732
In the Ramayana
it is described...
196
00:14:16.815 --> 00:14:20.194
that the god Vishnu decides
the leader of Lanka-
197
00:14:20.277 --> 00:14:24.740
a modal named Ravana-
has grown too powerful.
198
00:14:25.324 --> 00:14:30.790
Vishnu takes the human form of Rama
and does battle with Ravana...
199
00:14:30.162 --> 00:14:32.790
who has become like the gods himself.
200
00:14:33.624 --> 00:14:35.960
[ Man ]
Ravana was a very formidable enemy.
201
00:14:36.430 --> 00:14:41.480
In fact, most of his power,
it was acquired from god Shiva himself...
202
00:14:41.131 --> 00:14:43.801
because he was
a great devotee of Shiva.
203
00:14:44.635 --> 00:14:47.179
And Shiva gave him lethal weapons.
204
00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:10.350
It was described as the sun
turning into 5O even more brighter suns...
205
00:15:10.119 --> 00:15:12.663
with this incredible blast.
206
00:15:14.164 --> 00:15:16.250
So some people have suggested...
207
00:15:16.333 --> 00:15:21.422
that perhaps at Mohenjo-daro
some type of a nuclear blast occurred.
208
00:15:21.505 --> 00:15:27.428
Not only do we have a textual reference
to a possible nuclear blast...
209
00:15:27.511 --> 00:15:31.640
but we also find
physical evidence...
210
00:15:31.724 --> 00:15:36.353
that show vitrification of stone.
211
00:15:36.437 --> 00:15:39.773
And the only way that stone
can be vitrified...
212
00:15:39.857 --> 00:15:42.776
is if it's exposed to extreme heat.
213
00:15:46.697 --> 00:15:49.325
This is not mythology.
This is not superstition.
214
00:15:49.408 --> 00:15:52.328
This is documented historical events...
215
00:15:52.411 --> 00:15:56.415
of people that are warring with each other
using advanced technology.
216
00:15:58.208 --> 00:16:02.338
I happen to believe that mankind
possessed incredible technology...
217
00:16:02.421 --> 00:16:04.600
incredible knowledge...
218
00:16:04.890 --> 00:16:07.551
and that they did things
that we're doing right now...
219
00:16:07.635 --> 00:16:09.720
and then something happened...
220
00:16:12.890 --> 00:16:15.434
and they had to literally
start all over again.
221
00:16:17.610 --> 00:16:20.648
Whoever got involved said,
“Uh-uh. That's not going to happen.
222
00:16:20.731 --> 00:16:24.318
Let's let them have knowledge,
but not too much knowledge.”
223
00:16:24.401 --> 00:16:26.945
And I think that's probably
what's happening here.
224
00:16:27.821 --> 00:16:30.541
[WILCOCK ] These extraterrestrials
wouldn't want us to have access...
225
00:16:30.574 --> 00:16:34.119
to these advanced technologies
and essentially become like gods.
226
00:16:34.203 --> 00:16:36.288
But they may have a keen interest...
227
00:16:36.372 --> 00:16:39.708
in following some sort
of prime directive...
228
00:16:39.792 --> 00:16:44.171
so they don't openly interfere with us
so that everybody knows they exist...
229
00:16:44.254 --> 00:16:48.759
but also making sure
that we don't destroy the planet.
230
00:16:52.596 --> 00:16:56.684
[ Narrator] Is it possible that
the vitrified ruins at Mohenjo-daro...
231
00:16:56.767 --> 00:17:01.188
are evidence that humans were
in possession of advanced technology...
232

thousands of years ago?
233
00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:05.693
And does this suggest...
234
00:17:05.776 --> 00:17:10.906
that extraterrestrial beings
intervened in the affairs of mankind...
235
00:17:10.989 --> 00:17:14.159
to prevent the exploitation
of these weapons?

[ MAGLIOCCO ] The real moment of truth
for Constantine...
314
00:22:17.838 --> 00:22:22.676
came when he was engaged
in the midst of a great battle.

00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:37.190
At that point he made a vow to Christ
that if he won the battle...

he would convert
to Christianity for good...
319

was extremely significant.

that the first attacks were made

[ Narrator] Is it possible the alleged UFO
sightings throughout the Roman Empire...
337
00:24:05.821 --> 00:24:09.116
indicate that there is
an extraterrestrial agenda...
338
00:24:09.199 --> 00:24:12.327
to hold back the progress of humanity?
339
00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:16.581
Or might there be
an even more incredible explanation?
340
00:24:17.374 --> 00:24:20.430
Some ancient astronaut theorists claim...
341
00:24:20.127 --> 00:24:23.755
there may not be
just one alien agenda...
342
00:24:25.382 --> 00:24:27.800
but several.
343
00:24:31.763 --> 00:24:33.849
Washington, DC.
344
00:24:35.100 --> 00:24:40.355
After five days of expert testimony
at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure...
345
00:24:40.438 --> 00:24:45.193
astounding claims regarding extraterrestrial
involvement with the human race...
346
00:24:45.277 --> 00:24:48.405
were shared
with former members of Congress.
347
00:24:50.730 --> 00:24:52.330
Among the most Inflammatory,
348
00:24:52.117 --> 00:24:56.746
is the assertion from former Canadian
Defense Minister Paul Hellyer...
349
00:24:57.747 --> 00:25:01.626
that we are not being visited
by just one alien faction...
350
00:25:02.586 --> 00:25:04.870
but several.
351
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:10.635
At least four species had been
visiting Earth for thousands of years.
352
00:25:11.678 --> 00:25:15.557
They are different species and consequently
may have different agendas.
353
00:25:17.100 --> 00:25:18.727
[ Pope]
The thing about Paul Hellyer...
354
00:25:18.810 --> 00:25:21.855
is the level of detail
that he goes down to-
355
00:25:21.938 --> 00:25:25.358
numbers of civilizations,
alien agendas.
356
00:25:25.442 --> 00:25:30.113
This is not
some maverick UFO researcher.
357
00:25:30.197 --> 00:25:33.533
This is a politician
still deeply connected.
358
00:25:33.617 --> 00:25:38.121
He has a number
of extremely high-level government...
359
00:25:38.205 --> 00:25:41.499
and military and intelligence
community sources.
360
00:25:43.126 --> 00:25:46.460
[ Narrator] Is it possible the government
has been covering up...
361
00:25:46.129 --> 00:25:49.507
the presence
of otherworldly beings here on Earth?
362
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.180
And could there, in fact,
be more than one agenda?
363
00:25:56.681 --> 00:25:58.975
Ancient astronaut theorists claim...
364
00:25:59.590 --> 00:26:02.812
that not only do different
extraterrestrial agendas exist...
365
00:26:03.813 --> 00:26:08.652
but that this notion is supported
by some of mankind's earliest writings.
366
00:26:10.445 --> 00:26:14.908
In Greek mythology,
Prometheus acts in opposition to Zeus...
367
00:26:14.991 --> 00:26:17.994
by giving fire and knowledge to mankind.
368
00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:22.820
In the Indian Vedic texts...
369
00:26:22.165 --> 00:26:26.127
the gods Vishnu and Shiva
are often at odds.
370
00:26:26.878 --> 00:26:32.175
Ana' even in the Bible, Lucifer is cast
out of heaven for disobeying God.
371
00:26:34.100 --> 00:26:35.971
But perhaps the strongest clues...
372
00:26:36.540 --> 00:26:39.570
as to just what these
opposing agendas are...
373
00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:43.812
can be found in the detailed accounts
of the ancient Sumerians.
374
00:26:48.775 --> 00:26:51.319
Tall Al Muqayyar, Iraq.
375
00:26:51.403 --> 00:26:53.363
1922.
376
00:26:54.322 --> 00:26:58.760
British archaeologist
Sir Leonard Woolley and his team...
377
00:26:58.159 --> 00:27:01.496
uncover the ancient
Sumerian city of Ur...
378
00:27:02.747 --> 00:27:05.000
and discover
numerous clay tablets...
379
00:27:05.830 --> 00:27:09.296
containing fantastic tales of gods
interacting with humans.
380
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:16.469
We have these cuneiform tablets
carved into clay with a primitive stylus...
381
00:27:16.553 --> 00:27:21.808
but the stories they tell-
the Sumerian mythology of the Anunnaki...
382
00:27:21.891 --> 00:27:24.185
those who from heaven
to Earth came-
383
00:27:24.269 --> 00:27:27.188
are so intricate and fascinating.
384
00:27:28.398 --> 00:27:31.568
[ Narrator] After studying
the tablets for nearly 50 years...
385
00:27:31.651 --> 00:27:35.572
preeminent Mesopotamian historian,
Thorkild Jacobsen...
386
00:27:35.655 --> 00:27:38.241
publishes Treasures of Darkness...
387
00:27:38.325 --> 00:27:44.289
a book outlining the governing structure
of Sumerian gods called the Anunnaki.
388
00:27:45.332 --> 00:27:47.625
[ Bramley] Thorkild Jacobsen.
389
00:27:47.709 --> 00:27:52.172
He was not an ancient astronaut theorist
or a ufologist by any means...
390
00:27:52.255 --> 00:27:55.884
but he just simply took
all of these Mesopotamian stories...
391
00:27:55.967 --> 00:28:00.847
and he's able to construct from that exactly
how the gods rule, how they manage...
392
00:28:00.930 --> 00:28:03.933
and the effect that it has
on the human population...
393
00:28:04.170 --> 00:28:06.311
once they establish certain policies.
394
00:28:08.229 --> 00:28:11.358
[ Narrator] Jacobsen outlines
that an assembly of gods...
395
00:28:11.441 --> 00:28:14.944
were charged with making decisions
regarding Earth.
396
00:28:15.280 --> 00:28:17.322
The unanimous will of the assembly...
397
00:28:17.405 --> 00:28:21.117
would ultimately shape
and control human history.
398
00:28:22.452 --> 00:28:27.499
The high-ranking gods of the assembly
included half brothers, Enlil and Enki...
399
00:28:27.582 --> 00:28:30.585
who had opposing ideas about mankind.
400
00:28:32.796 --> 00:28:36.549
[ Henry] Enki is a very benevolent god,
a very wise god.
401
00:28:36.633 --> 00:28:38.551
In fact,
he's credited with being the one...
402
00:28:38.635 --> 00:28:41.554
who actually fashioned
or created the human body.
403
00:28:41.638 --> 00:28:45.642
And his agenda
was to raise humankind...
404
00:28:45.725 --> 00:28:48.610
even to the level of the gods.
405
00:28:48.144 --> 00:28:50.146
He's apposed
by his half brother, Enlil...
406
00:28:50.230 --> 00:28:52.857
who's very militaristic
and commanding...
407
00:28:52.941 --> 00:28:57.404
who prefers to keep humanity
at the level of slaves and sex objects.
408
00:28:57.487 --> 00:28:59.447
And so throughout
the Babylonian epics...
409
00:28:59.531 --> 00:29:04.160
there's this continuing battle between
these two opposing forces, these brothers.
410
00:29:05.328 --> 00:29:08.957
Enlil did not like Enki's relationship
with mankind.
411
00:29:09.400 --> 00:29:13.378
So apparently, he was the one
who brought the deluge, the flood...
412
00:29:14.879 --> 00:29:17.298
that wiped out civilizations.
413
00:29:18.258 --> 00:29:21.428
Enki, on the other hand,
tried to keep things going.
414
00:29:23.721 --> 00:29:26.558
[ Narrator]
But just who were these brothers?
415
00:29:26.641 --> 00:29:29.600
According
to ancient astronaut theorists...
416
00:29:29.144 --> 00:29:33.857
the Sumerians were visited by alien beings
from another solar system.
417
00:29:35.191 --> 00:29:38.486
[WILCOCK] It's easy for us to say
that the Anunnaki were their gods.
418
00:29:38.570 --> 00:29:40.113
But let's be clear.
419
00:29:40.196 --> 00:29:44.451
The Sumerians did not refer
to the Anunnaki as gods.
420
00:29:44.534 --> 00:29:49.414
They referred to them as a race
of giant human-looking people...
421
00:29:49.497 --> 00:29:52.410
who came from the stars.
422
00:29:53.418 --> 00:29:55.128
Enlil and Enki-
423
00:29:55.211 --> 00:30:00.800
they fought over whether humanity
should be destroyed or not.
424
00:30:02.930 --> 00:30:05.847
And ever since then there has been
a battle that has been going on...
425
00:30:05.930 --> 00:30:09.142
between extraterrestrial watchers...
426
00:30:09.225 --> 00:30:12.812
that want to see humanity
evolve and grow...
427
00:30:12.896 --> 00:30:16.357
and another group
that wants us destroyed.
428
00:30:17.775 --> 00:30:21.700
[ NOORY] Look at humankind.
Some are good. Some are bad.
429
00:30:21.154 --> 00:30:23.406
I think extraterrestrials
are the same thing.
430
00:30:23.490 --> 00:30:25.992
Some are very enlightened.
They want to upgrade us.
431
00:30:26.750 --> 00:30:29.996
They want great things
for this planet and this universe.
432
00:30:30.790 --> 00:30:32.123
There are others who don't.
433
00:30:32.207 --> 00:30:37.253
They want to keep us ignorant and down
and fighting and greedy.
434
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:43.885
[ Narrator] Do the legends of gods
with different agendas for mankind...
435
00:30:43.968 --> 00:30:47.680
actually give insight
into the extraterrestrial claims...
436
00:30:47.764 --> 00:30:50.934
of former Canadian
Defense Minister Paul Hellyer?
437
00:30:52.143 --> 00:30:57.607
And if so, are these otherworldly rivalries
still occurring today?
438
00:30:57.690 --> 00:31:02.570
Perhaps clues can be found
by looking at our more recent past...
439
00:31:02.654 --> 00:31:06.366
and the secret technology of the Nazis.
440
00:31:17.835 --> 00:31:21.297
London, England. 1939.
441
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.718
Former Nazi officer,
Hermann Rauschning...
442
00:31:25.802 --> 00:31:29.130
publishes a book tit/ea' Hitler Speaks.
443
00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:33.393
In it, he reveals
some shocking conversations...
444
00:31:33.476 --> 00:31:37.146
that he claimed
to have had with Adolf Hitler-
445
00:31:38.314 --> 00:31:43.194
conversations about contact
with nonhuman intelligences.
446
00:31:43.820 --> 00:31:46.406
The surprising thing
is that Adolf Hitler was basically-
447
00:31:46.489 --> 00:31:49.200
We would call him today
basically a UFO contactee.
448
00:31:49.284 --> 00:31:53.871
He claimed that he personally had
at least one contact or meeting...
449
00:31:53.955 --> 00:31:56.749
with these so-called supermen.
450
00:31:56.833 --> 00:31:59.252
They called them the supermen
or the underground supermen.
451
00:31:59.335 --> 00:32:04.257
But basically it was a contact
with these super people...
452
00:32:04.340 --> 00:32:06.551
who were guiding them.
453
00:32:08.303 --> 00:32:13.641
[ Tzadok ] There are beings that are
said to manipulate segments of humanity...
454
00:32:13.725 --> 00:32:18.605
so as to express their own agendas.
455
00:32:18.688 --> 00:32:24.402
And therefore it is they
who influence nations to go to war...
456
00:32:24.485 --> 00:32:27.905
and to fight for their purposes
and their agendas.
457
00:32:29.616 --> 00:32:33.494
[ Narrator] Is it really possible
that Adolf Hitler was in contact...
458
00:32:33.578 --> 00:32:37.373
with a race of extraterrestrials
he called “supermen”?
459
00:32:38.791 --> 00:32:41.711
While the authenticity
of Hermann Rauschning's accounts...
460
00:32:41.794 --> 00:32:43.630
are widely questioned...
461
00:32:43.713 --> 00:32:46.174
ancient astronaut theorists propose...
462
00:32:46.257 --> 00:32:49.844
that extraterrestrials
may have had a particular interest...
463
00:32:49.927 --> 00:32:53.640
in the quest of Hitler
to obtain super weapons...
464
00:32:53.723 --> 00:32:55.850
lost knowledge...
465
00:32:55.933 --> 00:32:59.145
and artifacts of the ancestral gods.
466
00:32:59.228 --> 00:33:04.567
The Nazis embarked on a quest
for so-called Wunderwaffe-
467
00:33:04.651 --> 00:33:06.270
wonder-weapons.
468
00:33:07.111 --> 00:33:11.115
And the Nazis were after
not just making the atomic bomb-
469
00:33:11.199 --> 00:33:13.451
which they clearly
were working toward-
470
00:33:13.534 --> 00:33:15.870
but guided missiles...
471
00:33:18.390 --> 00:33:20.667
and even something
called the sun gun...
472
00:33:20.750 --> 00:33:25.171
which actually involved plans
for some sort of space station...
473
00:33:25.254 --> 00:33:30.760
and then effectively directed energy weapon
down to the surface of the Earth.
474
00:33:34.138 --> 00:33:36.224
Many people now speculate...
475
00:33:36.307 --> 00:33:40.436
that extraterrestrials
were watching humanity...
476
00:33:40.520 --> 00:33:43.481
engaged in this cataclysmic conflict.
477
00:33:46.651 --> 00:33:50.446
The theory was that this was war
on a totally new scale...
478
00:33:52.615 --> 00:33:58.204
and that it had attracted the attention
of these alien visitors...
479
00:33:58.287 --> 00:34:04.210
who were watching with concern
at human beings advancing so rapidly.
480
00:34:05.795 --> 00:34:10.925
There are a ton of reports
that date back to the Second World War...
481
00:34:11.800 --> 00:34:15.388
where pilots reported
the so-called “Foo Fighters.”
482
00:34:16.970 --> 00:34:21.477
And Foo Fighters are something
that can be likened to modern-day UFOs.
483
00:34:21.561 --> 00:34:26.733
So that is very interesting
because it shows to me...
484
00:34:26.816 --> 00:34:32.613
that somehow extraterrestrials
were interested in the outcome.
485
00:34:34.741 --> 00:34:36.743
[ Bramley]
You have World War ll with Hitler.
486
00:34:36.826 --> 00:34:38.703
Signs were really clear...
487
00:34:38.786 --> 00:34:41.956
that we were now starting to enter
a phase of our development...
488
00:34:42.390 --> 00:34:45.251
where we are now going to have
some pretty good technology.
489
00:34:46.252 --> 00:34:50.548
We're going to start understanding
some of the weirder aspects of reality.
490
00:34:50.631 --> 00:34:54.719
That was the knowledge of the gods,
perhaps, that they did not want us to have.
491
00:34:56.846 --> 00:35:00.266
[ Narrator] Is it possible that
Hitler's quest for super weapons...
492
00:35:00.349 --> 00:35:02.727
ultimately led to his downfall?
493
00:35:04.103 --> 00:35:07.148
Might an extraterrestrial faction
have intervened...
494
00:35:07.231 --> 00:35:10.526
to stop him
before he went even further?
495
00:35:13.946 --> 00:35:16.324
Immediately following World War II...
496
00:35:16.407 --> 00:35:20.411
the United States military
enlisted Nazi scientists...
497
00:35:20.495 --> 00:35:26.292
to continue the development of weaponry,
including rockets and nuclear bombs.
498
00:35:29.378 --> 00:35:31.380
After World War ll...
499
00:35:31.464 --> 00:35:37.261
much of the UFO activity around
the world really stepped up considerably.
500
00:35:38.930 --> 00:35:44.894
There are stories of how UFOs
would circle around nuclear weapon silos.
501
00:35:46.896 --> 00:35:49.315
[ Narrator]
UFO sightings were reported...
502
00:35:49.398 --> 00:35:53.486
at numerous US Air Force bases
with nuclear capabilities...
503
00:35:53.569 --> 00:35:59.116
including high-profile reports from
the Malmstrom Air Force base in Montana...
504
00:36:00.201 --> 00:36:03.621
and Minot Air Force Base
in North Dakota.
505
00:36:04.747 --> 00:36:09.377
In 7.980, there was a famous sighting
of a disc-shaped object'...
506
00:36:09.460 --> 00:36:13.798
that hovered near a nuclear bomb
storage depot in Suffolk, England...
507
00:36:13.881 --> 00:36:16.926
and emitted laser-like beams of light.
508
00:36:18.594 --> 00:36:23.349
The sightings over the missile facilities
at Malmstrom and Minot...
509
00:36:23.432 --> 00:36:27.854
involved apparent shutdowns
of the missiles.
510
00:36:27.937 --> 00:36:33.109
That is to say it was alleged
that the missiles were taken off-line.
511
00:36:33.192 --> 00:36:38.573
Now, UFO believers think
that we were being sent a message...
512
00:36:38.656 --> 00:36:40.867
and that the message was...
513
00:36:40.950 --> 00:36:45.371
“We know what your nuclear arsenal
is capable of.
514
00:36:45.454 --> 00:36:46.998
We're watching.”
515
00:36:50.209 --> 00:36:54.380
[ Narrator] Are extraterrestrials
monitoring nuclear facilities?
516
00:36:54.463 --> 00:36:56.674
Perhaps to ensure mankind...
517
00:36:56.757 --> 00:37:01.120
does not unleash
such weapons of mass destruction.
518
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:07.435
And if there are, in fact,
competing alien agendas for mankind...
519
00:37:07.518 --> 00:37:09.437
will proof of this be revealed...
520
00:37:09.520 --> 00:37:13.941
with the introduction
of an incredible new technology?
521
00:37:21.657 --> 00:37:23.534
Geneva, Switzerland.
522
00:37:23.618 --> 00:37:25.202
CERN headquarters.
523
00:37:26.829 --> 00:37:29.415
A multinational coalition of scientists...
524
00:37:29.498 --> 00:37:33.336
are working to upgrade
the Large Hadron Collider...
525
00:37:33.419 --> 00:37:37.256
the world's largest
and most powerful atom smasher...
526
00:37:37.340 --> 00:37:42.720
which is capable of producing
the energy of 70,000 atomic bombs.
527
00:37:44.764 --> 00:37:46.432
The Large Hadron Collider...
528
00:37:46.515 --> 00:37:51.604
was key to the initial discovery
of the Higgs boson, or “God Particle”-
529
00:37:53.105 --> 00:37:58.986
a subatomic particle that many scientists
believe exists for a fraction of a second...
530
00:37:59.700 --> 00:38:01.739
before other particles
get their mass...
531
00:38:01.822 --> 00:38:03.532
and the one missing piece...
532
00:38:03.616 --> 00:38:06.869
of our present understanding
of the laws of physics.
533
00:38:08.829 --> 00:38:10.581
For theoretical physicists...
534
00:38:10.665 --> 00:38:14.835
the find opens up new frontiers
in science and technology...
535
00:38:15.711 --> 00:38:19.173
suggesting the possibility
of antigravity...
536
00:38:20.490 --> 00:38:22.343
travel at the speed of light...
537
00:38:23.302 --> 00:38:24.887
teleportation...
538
00:38:26.555 --> 00:38:29.892
and even future military applications.
539
00:38:31.102 --> 00:38:33.187
The Higgs particle is so new...
540
00:38:33.270 --> 00:38:36.732
we just really don't know what
we're going to be able to do with it.
541
00:38:39.402 --> 00:38:43.155
[ Narrator] The first person to refer
to the Higgs boson as the God Particle...
542
00:38:43.239 --> 00:38:46.993
was Nobel Prize-winning
physicist Leon Lederman...
543
00:38:48.244 --> 00:38:51.455
who also likened the use
of the Large Hadron Collider...
544
00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:55.543
to the building of the Tower of Babel
to reach the realm of God.
545
00:38:56.377 --> 00:38:58.337
If we take his words literally...
546
00:38:58.421 --> 00:39:01.757
it suggests that the search
for the God particle...
547
00:39:01.841 --> 00:39:04.427
and the creation of these
amazing particle accelerators...
548
00:39:04.510 --> 00:39:06.303
such as the one at CERN...
549
00:39:06.387 --> 00:39:11.183
is actually a re-creation
of the Tower of Babel.
550
00:39:11.267 --> 00:39:15.229
Well, the Tower of Babel seems
to have been humanity's first attempt...
551
00:39:15.312 --> 00:39:17.356
to blast open holes in heaven...
552
00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:19.817
to open star gates and wormholes.
553
00:39:24.989 --> 00:39:28.701
[ Narrator] With the promise
of a more powerful, upgraded Collider...
554
00:39:28.784 --> 00:39:31.912
to go online in the next few years...
555
00:39:31.996 --> 00:39:36.959
scientists are hopeful that humankind
will make even more technological leaps...
556
00:39:37.430 --> 00:39:40.337
in understanding
just how the universe works.
557
00:39:43.632 --> 00:39:49.388
[ Frisbee ] When they finish the upgrade,
it will be about 13 times more powerful.
558
00:39:52.266 --> 00:39:55.311
So that's
an enormous increase in energy.
559
00:39:56.395 --> 00:40:01.317
We've never had a machine
that could operate at these energy levels.
560
00:40:02.735 --> 00:40:04.361
But the questions is...
561
00:40:04.445 --> 00:40:08.240
are we at risk of opening up
something we don't want?
562
00:40:08.324 --> 00:40:10.201
Is it a Pandora's Box?
563
00:40:12.995 --> 00:40:16.540
[ Narrator] Could the collaborations
with scientists from across the world...
564
00:40:16.624 --> 00:40:18.876
happening at CERN today...
565
00:40:18.959 --> 00:40:22.713
mirror the efforts
of the ancient civilization in Genesis...
566
00:40:22.797 --> 00:40:24.924
who built the Tower of Babel?
567
00:40:26.342 --> 00:40:28.100
If we are reaching a level...
568
00:40:28.940 --> 00:40:32.473
where we could interact with the heavens
and connect with a galactic community...
569
00:40:32.556 --> 00:40:34.350
are we ready?
570
00:40:34.433 --> 00:40:37.228
Or will our efforts
be thwarted again...
571
00:40:37.311 --> 00:40:41.524
pushing us back
thousands of years in our development?
572
00:40:41.607 --> 00:40:44.610
The Egyptians,
the Romans, the Greeks.
573
00:40:44.693 --> 00:40:47.404
Most of these empires, of course, fell...
574
00:40:47.488 --> 00:40:50.783
and for a while
humanity was pegged back...
575
00:40:50.866 --> 00:40:54.787
but always we rose again
and always we advance.
576
00:40:56.163 --> 00:41:00.918
Now it seems that we stand
on the threshold of the final jump.
577
00:41:03.870 --> 00:41:07.550
[Young ] There do seem
to be cyclical patterns in history.
578
00:41:07.633 --> 00:41:10.970
Each generation has to make
the same mistakes.
579
00:41:11.530 --> 00:41:15.990
We personally have to make
similar mistakes at each life stage.
580
00:41:16.642 --> 00:41:19.562
Some argue it is a spiral pattern-
581
00:41:19.645 --> 00:41:23.149
that the cycles have
a kind of forward motion.
582
00:41:23.232 --> 00:41:28.195
It's actually traveling in a direction even
as it seems to be going around in circles.
583
00:41:31.574 --> 00:41:33.826
[Tzadok] It is human destiny...
584
00:41:33.909 --> 00:41:36.662
from every legend,
from every religion-
585
00:41:36.745 --> 00:41:41.792
to know we as a race
of human beings will evolve.
586
00:41:41.876 --> 00:41:43.502
We will overcome.
587
00:41:43.586 --> 00:41:47.882
We will achieve the fulfillment
of the messianic destiny...
588
00:41:47.965 --> 00:41:52.303
to knowing the truth of our universe,
the truth of our existence.
589
00:41:52.386 --> 00:41:54.180
It's inevitable.
590
00:41:54.263 --> 00:41:56.640
It could well be
that what we are seeing here...
591
00:41:56.724 --> 00:42:00.978
is the fulfillment
of this long-standing plan or agenda...
592
00:42:01.610 --> 00:42:02.980
of these extraterrestrial beings...
593
00:42:03.630 --> 00:42:04.565
who have been waiting for us...
594
00:42:04.648 --> 00:42:09.403
to arrive at this level
of consciousness or technology...
595
00:42:09.486 --> 00:42:13.365
through which they will feel
comfortable now to reveal themselves.
596
00:42:17.620 --> 00:42:20.206
[ Narrator] Is it possible
that the course of humanity...
597
00:42:20.289 --> 00:42:24.543
has been guided from the beginning
by an alien agenda...
598
00:42:24.627 --> 00:42:27.379
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
599
00:42:28.756 --> 00:42:34.386
Have extraterrestrials been monitoring
our progress for thousands of years...
600
00:42:34.470 --> 00:42:40.142
at times helping us to advance,
and at other times holding us back?
601
00:42:41.143 --> 00:42:45.481
Are we finally reaching the point
in our technological evolution...
602
00:42:45.564 --> 00:42:50.653
where these alien visitors can
no longer exist among us undetected?
603
00:42:52.112 --> 00:42:54.615
Perhaps the setbacks
throughout our history...
604
00:42:54.698 --> 00:42:58.410
were to assure we were prepared
for full disclosure...
605
00:42:58.494 --> 00:43:03.415
and only then would we be allowed
to realize our potential...
606
00:43:03.499 --> 00:43:07.336
and be reunited
with our alien ancestors.
