1
00:00:01,535 --> 00:00:02,901
NARRATOR: Bizaare...
2
00:00:03,004 --> 00:00:06,271
ANDREW COLLINS: They have these
very strange, circular eyes.
3
00:00:06,374 --> 00:00:07,906
NARRATOR: Mysterious...
4
00:00:08,009 --> 00:00:10,275
This pyramid almost looks
like a large
5
00:00:10,378 --> 00:00:12,344
launch ramp
on top of a platform.
6
00:00:12,446 --> 00:00:14,046
NARRATOR: Gigantic...
7
00:00:14,148 --> 00:00:15,881
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS: Look at
the size of these blocks.
8
00:00:15,983 --> 00:00:18,384
I mean, that one right there
is a minimum of one ton.
9
00:00:18,486 --> 00:00:21,120
NARRATOR:
But are they extraterrestrial?
10
00:00:21,222 --> 00:00:24,189
There was something very unusual
11
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:27,092
happening on this island.
12
00:00:27,194 --> 00:00:28,927
NARRATOR: Oak Island
treasure hunter Marty Lagina...
13
00:00:29,030 --> 00:00:31,196
The effort to create this
is extraordinary.
14
00:00:31,298 --> 00:00:34,199
NARRATOR: ...joins
ancient astronaut theorist
15
00:00:34,301 --> 00:00:35,801
Giorgio Tsoukalos...
16
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:37,202
LAGINA: What do you think
that represents?
17
00:00:37,304 --> 00:00:40,372
TSOUKALOS: It could be
some type of a flying craft.
18
00:00:40,474 --> 00:00:43,242
NARRATOR:
...for a sky high exploration
19
00:00:43,344 --> 00:00:46,645
of one of the most
unusual places on Earth.
20
00:00:46,747 --> 00:00:48,781
DAVID CHILDRESS: It's possible
that Sardinia was the epicenter
21
00:00:48,883 --> 00:00:52,451
for giants in the ancient world.
22
00:00:52,553 --> 00:00:56,221
NARRATOR:
Will Marty help Giorgio solve
23
00:00:56,323 --> 00:00:58,323
a centuries-old mystery?
24
00:00:58,426 --> 00:01:01,093
TSOUKALOS: Look at this.
It's a perfect circle.
25
00:01:01,195 --> 00:01:02,327
This is spectacular.
26
00:01:02,430 --> 00:01:04,763
NARRATOR:
And will Marty return home
27
00:01:04,865 --> 00:01:08,834
convinced that aliens
really do exist?
28
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:10,436
I am literally wowed by this.
29
00:01:10,538 --> 00:01:15,074
Someone or some ones had
extraordinary knowledge.
30
00:01:15,176 --> 00:01:17,176
♪ ♪
31
00:01:46,474 --> 00:01:49,341
NARRATOR: Sardinia, Italy.
32
00:01:49,443 --> 00:01:52,010
Today, this Mediterranean island
33
00:01:52,113 --> 00:01:54,880
off the west coast
of the Italian mainland
34
00:01:54,982 --> 00:01:58,684
is well known as the playground
of the rich and famous.
35
00:01:58,786 --> 00:02:02,888
But 2,000 years ago,
Sardinia was home to one
36
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:07,826
of the most mysterious cultures
in all of the ancient world.
37
00:02:07,928 --> 00:02:10,195
There's actually
tens of thousands of sites
38
00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:13,465
on that particular island,
and even a pyramid.
39
00:02:13,567 --> 00:02:15,534
This is quite rare in Europe.
40
00:02:15,636 --> 00:02:18,537
And so, it's got
a vast megalithic culture
41
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,806
going back
several thousand years.
42
00:02:20,908 --> 00:02:22,808
And it really
is an overlooked place
43
00:02:22,910 --> 00:02:24,710
when it comes to archaeology.
44
00:02:26,447 --> 00:02:28,180
ALBERINO: Sardinia was once home
45
00:02:28,282 --> 00:02:31,483
to a very mysterious
and arcane culture
46
00:02:31,585 --> 00:02:34,686
called
"the Nuragic civilization."
47
00:02:34,788 --> 00:02:39,091
The island is replete
with the residue
48
00:02:39,193 --> 00:02:41,527
of megalithic constructions.
49
00:02:41,629 --> 00:02:44,930
All over the island, you find
these megalithic stone towers
50
00:02:45,032 --> 00:02:46,765
called "nuraghe,"
51
00:02:46,867 --> 00:02:50,869
which were constructed
sometime in the distant past.
52
00:02:50,971 --> 00:02:55,908
You also have the megalithic
tombs of the giants.
53
00:02:58,846 --> 00:03:00,345
NARRATOR: Giants?
54
00:03:00,447 --> 00:03:03,882
Is it possible that Sardinia
was once the home
55
00:03:03,984 --> 00:03:07,953
of an ancient race strangely
different from our own?
56
00:03:08,055 --> 00:03:11,723
But if so,
where did they come from?
57
00:03:11,825 --> 00:03:16,862
And, perhaps more importantly,
where did they go?
58
00:03:16,964 --> 00:03:21,433
It was to find answers
to these intriguing questions
59
00:03:21,535 --> 00:03:24,870
that ancient astronaut theorist
and publisher Giorgio Tsoukalos
60
00:03:24,972 --> 00:03:27,806
traveled to Sardinia
in May of 2018.
61
00:03:27,908 --> 00:03:30,409
Giorgio.
62
00:03:30,511 --> 00:03:32,711
- Hey.
- How crazy is this place?
63
00:03:32,813 --> 00:03:33,946
- Isn't this something?
- So great to meet you
64
00:03:34,048 --> 00:03:35,581
-here in Sardinia.
- Great to meet you.
65
00:03:35,683 --> 00:03:37,316
NARRATOR: He had also
taken advantage of the trip
66
00:03:37,418 --> 00:03:41,320
to meet up with Oak Island
treasure hunter Marty Lagina,
67
00:03:41,422 --> 00:03:44,890
who, over the years, has been
a frequent visitor to the island
68
00:03:44,992 --> 00:03:48,427
and shares Giorgio's
fascination with it.
69
00:03:48,529 --> 00:03:51,463
You know, I've been here; The
last time, about 35 years ago
70
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:52,764
-with my parents...
- Really?
71
00:03:52,866 --> 00:03:54,900
-...on summer vacation.
- No kidding.
72
00:03:55,002 --> 00:03:57,469
I am, uh, of Italian ancestry,
73
00:03:57,571 --> 00:04:00,405
and I came here,
I think it was four years ago,
74
00:04:00,507 --> 00:04:03,408
and I was here
on an Italian language course.
75
00:04:03,510 --> 00:04:05,811
So, in the process, I find out
about these nuraghes,
76
00:04:05,913 --> 00:04:07,846
and I find out
about these ancient things,
77
00:04:07,948 --> 00:04:10,983
and I find out that nobody seems
to know anything about them.
78
00:04:11,085 --> 00:04:12,451
And very seriously, I'd like
79
00:04:12,553 --> 00:04:14,253
your opinion
about all this stuff.
80
00:04:14,355 --> 00:04:16,288
- Right.
- I don't know whether this means anything,
81
00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:17,956
but when I was talking
to some of the locals, you know,
82
00:04:18,058 --> 00:04:20,292
they talk that there are
a lot of legends of giants,
83
00:04:20,394 --> 00:04:22,127
-you know, giants.
- Really?
84
00:04:22,229 --> 00:04:24,363
- Does that mean anything?
- Absolutely, because only
85
00:04:24,465 --> 00:04:27,132
a few years ago,
I was exploring on Malta,
86
00:04:27,234 --> 00:04:29,201
and there,
the entire civilization
87
00:04:29,303 --> 00:04:31,470
is based on the idea of giants.
88
00:04:31,572 --> 00:04:33,171
- LAGINA: Really?
- And some have suggested,
89
00:04:33,274 --> 00:04:35,607
according to the ancient
astronaut theory,
90
00:04:35,709 --> 00:04:37,209
that when the gods descended
91
00:04:37,311 --> 00:04:40,646
and mated with
the beautiful women of Earth,
92
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:43,181
they produced giants.
93
00:04:43,284 --> 00:04:46,618
So every time there are stories
and legends of giants,
94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,620
I find that very interesting.
95
00:04:48,722 --> 00:04:50,222
Well, there's a lot
of material here,
96
00:04:50,324 --> 00:04:51,823
-so let's-let's have a look.
- All right,
97
00:04:51,925 --> 00:04:53,458
let's do it.
98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,627
NARRATOR:
To begin their investigation,
99
00:04:55,729 --> 00:04:57,329
Giorgio and Marty travel
100
00:04:57,431 --> 00:05:00,032
to the National Archaeological
Museum in Cagliari,
101
00:05:00,134 --> 00:05:04,303
where some of Sardinia's
oldest and strangest artifacts
102
00:05:04,405 --> 00:05:06,738
are on display.
103
00:05:11,412 --> 00:05:13,478
TSOUKALOS: It's just all weird.
104
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:16,748
And that this helmet on,
those weird eyes.
105
00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:18,583
NARRATOR: Featured
in the museum's collection
106
00:05:18,686 --> 00:05:21,386
are a number
of enormous stone statues known
107
00:05:21,488 --> 00:05:24,356
as the Giants of Mont'e Prama.
108
00:05:24,458 --> 00:05:27,659
They were first discovered
in 1974,
109
00:05:27,761 --> 00:05:31,263
when a local farmer stumbled
upon a large carved stone
110
00:05:31,365 --> 00:05:33,365
protruding from the ground.
111
00:05:33,467 --> 00:05:36,768
Archaeologists quickly
took over the site,
112
00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:41,273
recovering more than
5,000 broken remnants.
113
00:05:41,375 --> 00:05:43,675
Mainstream historians suggest
114
00:05:43,777 --> 00:05:47,679
the statues were carved
by the Nuragic people,
115
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:49,281
a civilization that is believed
116
00:05:49,383 --> 00:05:52,718
to have inhabited
the island for 2,000 years,
117
00:05:52,820 --> 00:05:55,354
emerging in 1800 BC
118
00:05:55,456 --> 00:06:00,058
and mysteriously disappearing
around 200 AD.
119
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,895
But what also makes
the statues so mysterious
120
00:06:03,997 --> 00:06:07,265
is the strange way
in which the faces are carved--
121
00:06:07,368 --> 00:06:10,068
Not so much resembling humans,
122
00:06:10,170 --> 00:06:14,940
but what some
might describe as robots.
123
00:06:15,042 --> 00:06:18,610
JASON OSEQUEDA: The Giant
statues found at Mont'e Prama
124
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:21,980
are approximately seven
and a half to eight feet tall.
125
00:06:22,082 --> 00:06:26,284
You have warriors
and boxers and archers.
126
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:30,088
The statues themselves
are just noted for their size.
127
00:06:30,190 --> 00:06:33,024
And it's thought that they
represent the Nuragic people,
128
00:06:33,127 --> 00:06:38,163
that this is actually what we
might have that looks like them.
129
00:06:40,033 --> 00:06:41,466
LAGINA: If he's a model of that,
130
00:06:41,568 --> 00:06:43,769
why doesn't he have disc eyes?
131
00:06:43,871 --> 00:06:47,572
'Cause he doesn't have disc eyes
and he certainly could.
132
00:06:47,674 --> 00:06:50,409
What I find intriguing is that
the giants of Mont'e Prama--
133
00:06:50,511 --> 00:06:53,078
Although they were discovered
in the 1970s--
134
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:57,983
Were not put on display until
sometime near the year 2000.
135
00:06:58,085 --> 00:07:02,087
And I believe that these statues
simply do not conform
136
00:07:02,189 --> 00:07:04,489
to the conventional
archaeological narrative
137
00:07:04,591 --> 00:07:06,691
on the island, and instead,
138
00:07:06,794 --> 00:07:09,928
point to the reality that there
was something very unusual
139
00:07:10,030 --> 00:07:12,130
happening on this island.
140
00:07:12,232 --> 00:07:16,268
This is very human,
except it has weird eyes.
141
00:07:16,370 --> 00:07:19,171
- TSOUKALOS: And disproportionate.
- And disproportions.
142
00:07:19,273 --> 00:07:21,139
COLLINS: When you look
at these stone figurines,
143
00:07:21,241 --> 00:07:24,209
they are extremely peculiar,
and they give the impression
144
00:07:24,311 --> 00:07:26,478
of actually being giants.
145
00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:29,948
The strangest things
about the statues
146
00:07:30,050 --> 00:07:34,653
is that they have
these very strange circular eyes
147
00:07:34,755 --> 00:07:38,457
that almost give them
an otherworldly feel.
148
00:07:38,559 --> 00:07:41,960
NARRATOR:
After their visit to the museum,
149
00:07:42,062 --> 00:07:44,663
Giorgio and Marty meet
at a nearby restaurant
150
00:07:44,765 --> 00:07:48,133
with archaeological tour guide
Maria Paola Loi,
151
00:07:48,235 --> 00:07:49,868
- TSOUKALOS: Paola? -...Who has
offered to share with them
152
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:51,069
some of Sardinia's
local legends.
153
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:53,972
Ciao, I'm Paola,
how are you? Ciao.
154
00:07:54,074 --> 00:07:55,841
- Pleased to meet you, welcome to Sardinia.
- Appreciate it.
155
00:07:55,943 --> 00:07:57,576
-Grazie.
- Fantastic.
156
00:07:57,678 --> 00:07:59,044
- Yeah.
- Okay.
157
00:07:59,146 --> 00:08:01,346
- Did you go to the museum? Oh.
- LAGINA: We did.
158
00:08:01,448 --> 00:08:05,484
Tell me what you think about the
finds that are displayed there.
159
00:08:05,586 --> 00:08:09,254
I mean, up until about
six months ago, I had no idea...
160
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:11,656
-about these statues here.
- LOI: No idea.
161
00:08:11,758 --> 00:08:14,159
TSOUKALOS: So now when I saw
162
00:08:14,261 --> 00:08:16,728
these statues of the Giganti
for the first time,
163
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:21,566
not only did the eyes remind me
of, uh, C-3PO from Star Wars...
164
00:08:21,668 --> 00:08:23,502
- LAGINA: It's a dead ringer.
-...but also,
165
00:08:23,604 --> 00:08:28,540
there are these giant-eyed
statues in Tell Asmar,
166
00:08:28,642 --> 00:08:32,944
from the ancient Sumerian
and Babylonian times.
167
00:08:33,046 --> 00:08:37,616
Originally, the archeologists
and also scholars
168
00:08:37,718 --> 00:08:39,584
who mentioned
the Nuragic civilization
169
00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:44,189
said that these people probably
arrived from Mesopotamia.
170
00:08:44,291 --> 00:08:46,691
- So the Anunnakis?
- Right.
171
00:08:46,793 --> 00:08:48,960
NARRATOR: The Anunnaki?
172
00:08:49,062 --> 00:08:51,396
The race of winged giants
as described
173
00:08:51,498 --> 00:08:54,866
in ancient Sumerian texts,
and frequently depicted
174
00:08:54,968 --> 00:08:57,636
on the temples and icons
of ancient Babylon?
175
00:08:57,738 --> 00:09:00,238
COLLINS:
There are a lot of connections
176
00:09:00,340 --> 00:09:02,440
between the Sardinian language
177
00:09:02,543 --> 00:09:06,912
and the different languages
of Mesopotamia,
178
00:09:07,014 --> 00:09:11,883
suggesting that Sumerians did
actually come to Sardinia.
179
00:09:11,985 --> 00:09:14,119
They would've brought with them
the traditions to do
180
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:17,889
with the Anunnaki,
the gods of heaven and Earth,
181
00:09:17,991 --> 00:09:22,794
which many people believe
were celestial beings.
182
00:09:22,896 --> 00:09:24,796
What's interesting about
the Anunnaki is that there's
183
00:09:24,898 --> 00:09:27,132
all types of wall reliefs
184
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:29,568
which depict
the Anunnaki standing amongst
185
00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:31,903
the other Sumerian human beings.
186
00:09:32,005 --> 00:09:36,074
They're always depicted as
larger beings of great stature.
187
00:09:36,176 --> 00:09:39,477
Even in Sardinia,
these various statues of giants
188
00:09:39,580 --> 00:09:42,280
could be actually
depicting the Anunnaki.
189
00:09:42,382 --> 00:09:44,316
- I'm getting goose bumps.
- LOI: Yeah, I know.
190
00:09:44,418 --> 00:09:46,785
- I know. - TSOUKALOS: This
leads me to the next question.
191
00:09:46,887 --> 00:09:50,322
Are you aware
of any ancient legends
192
00:09:50,424 --> 00:09:52,924
of giants here on Sardinia?
193
00:09:53,026 --> 00:09:54,526
Oh, yes.
194
00:09:57,764 --> 00:10:01,266
NARRATOR: While visiting the
Mediterranean island of Sardinia
195
00:10:01,368 --> 00:10:05,136
in search of evidence of ancient
extraterrestrial activity,
196
00:10:05,238 --> 00:10:09,274
Giorgio Tsoukalos and Oak Island
treasure hunter Marty Lagina
197
00:10:09,376 --> 00:10:12,077
have stopped
at a local restaurant
198
00:10:12,179 --> 00:10:16,815
to meet with archaeological
tour guide Maria Paola Loi.
199
00:10:16,917 --> 00:10:18,883
LOI: The name "giant" recalls
200
00:10:18,986 --> 00:10:21,519
in the name of the giant tombs,
201
00:10:21,622 --> 00:10:24,022
in the name
of the giant statues,
202
00:10:24,124 --> 00:10:27,192
and also, the type
of architecture: "cyclopean."
203
00:10:27,294 --> 00:10:30,295
So, to the observer, only a
Cyclops could've built this wall
204
00:10:30,397 --> 00:10:32,497
-and that's why they call it...
- That's the legend behind it.
205
00:10:32,599 --> 00:10:34,165
Yeah, okay.
206
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:36,901
The Cyclops are, of course,
the mythological giants
207
00:10:37,004 --> 00:10:40,171
that are mentioned by Homer
in the Odyssey.
208
00:10:40,273 --> 00:10:42,173
- Yes.
- LAGINA: Yes.
209
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:45,243
NARRATOR: In the epic
Greek poem the Odyssey,
210
00:10:45,345 --> 00:10:48,013
written by Homer
in the eighth century B.C.,
211
00:10:48,115 --> 00:10:53,318
the hero, Odysseus, encounters
a Cyclops named Polyphemus,
212
00:10:53,420 --> 00:10:57,555
a one-eyed giant who lives on an
island with others of his kind.
213
00:10:57,658 --> 00:11:02,160
According to legend,
Polyphemus was also part divine,
214
00:11:02,262 --> 00:11:05,930
as he was the son of Poseidon,
the god of the sea.
215
00:11:06,033 --> 00:11:09,000
JASON OSEQUEDA: So, the Cyclops
are a legendary race.
216
00:11:09,102 --> 00:11:10,602
The most famous one, of course,
217
00:11:10,704 --> 00:11:13,338
is Odysseus fights one
in the Odyssey.
218
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,141
They are extraordinarily
large creatures.
219
00:11:16,243 --> 00:11:21,613
They're humanoid, of course, and
famously with the single eye.
220
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:25,717
A lot of the Greeks
believed that towers
221
00:11:25,819 --> 00:11:28,253
were invented by them, actually.
222
00:11:28,355 --> 00:11:30,789
JONATHAN YOUNG: There are
some fascinating structures
223
00:11:30,891 --> 00:11:33,725
in parts of Greece
that are massive.
224
00:11:33,827 --> 00:11:36,728
Now the Cyclops were
one-eyed giants.
225
00:11:36,830 --> 00:11:39,197
And it was thought that
they were the only ones
226
00:11:39,299 --> 00:11:42,067
strong enough
to lift these massive boulders
227
00:11:42,169 --> 00:11:44,602
and put them into place,
no mortar.
228
00:11:44,705 --> 00:11:48,573
I'm always curious,
what was the true origin,
229
00:11:48,675 --> 00:11:51,142
what was the original spark
of inspiration?
230
00:11:51,244 --> 00:11:53,378
What happened?
231
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,779
- That's what we seek, huh?
- Yes.
232
00:11:54,881 --> 00:11:57,015
Yeah, that-that's
the ultimate quest.
233
00:12:01,888 --> 00:12:04,589
NARRATOR: The next day,
Giorgio and Marty
234
00:12:04,691 --> 00:12:06,758
travel to the remote town
of Siddi...
235
00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:08,493
This is neat.
236
00:12:08,595 --> 00:12:11,262
NARRATOR: ...to visit a place
known as Sa Domu e S'orcu:
237
00:12:11,364 --> 00:12:13,498
A Tomb of the Giants.
238
00:12:15,335 --> 00:12:18,803
It is one of more than
800 similar structures
239
00:12:18,905 --> 00:12:20,305
on the island.
240
00:12:20,407 --> 00:12:22,107
LAGINA: These stones
are getting close
241
00:12:22,209 --> 00:12:23,742
to the ones you were describing
from our sites.
242
00:12:23,844 --> 00:12:25,243
TSOUKALOS: Yeah, 'cause
we're talking a minimum,
243
00:12:25,345 --> 00:12:28,313
I would say,
between four and six tons.
244
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:29,814
Maybe four and 12?
245
00:12:29,916 --> 00:12:32,617
NARRATOR: Joining them is
their archaeological guide,
246
00:12:32,719 --> 00:12:34,586
Ivana Malu.
247
00:12:34,688 --> 00:12:36,521
TSOUKALOS:
What I find interesting here
248
00:12:36,623 --> 00:12:39,758
is that the largest blocks
are situated on top.
249
00:12:39,860 --> 00:12:43,928
It would make more sense to have
the big blocks at the bottom
250
00:12:44,030 --> 00:12:45,730
and then the smaller blocks.
251
00:12:45,832 --> 00:12:50,168
So this right here requires
some type of lever mechanism.
252
00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:51,503
Yes.
253
00:12:51,605 --> 00:12:53,805
What does the engineer in you
say about this?
254
00:12:53,907 --> 00:12:55,640
LAGINA:
It's incredibly impressive.
255
00:12:55,742 --> 00:12:57,342
You're right. It would require
256
00:12:57,444 --> 00:13:00,812
many motivated people
over a long time.
257
00:13:00,914 --> 00:13:04,716
So what is the name of this?
258
00:13:04,818 --> 00:13:07,218
The name of these--
It's, of course, a giant tomb.
259
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,355
- And the name is Sa Domu e S'orcu.
- And what does that mean?
260
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:13,558
Sa domu: the house.
S'orcu: the ogre.
261
00:13:15,162 --> 00:13:16,628
TSOUKALOS: So this is considered
262
00:13:16,730 --> 00:13:18,129
-a giant's tomb.
- MALU: Yes.
263
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:20,732
TSOUKALOS: Have any bones
been found inside?
264
00:13:20,834 --> 00:13:24,969
In many others, yes.
Not in this one, unfortunately.
265
00:13:25,071 --> 00:13:28,072
NARRATOR: Although no bones
have been discovered
266
00:13:28,175 --> 00:13:30,074
within Sa Domu e S'orcu,
267
00:13:30,177 --> 00:13:32,777
many of the 800 tombs
on Sardinia
268
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:36,381
were found to contain
ancient human remains.
269
00:13:38,251 --> 00:13:40,518
OSEQUEDA:
We found remarkably few
270
00:13:40,620 --> 00:13:42,253
human remains in these tombs.
271
00:13:42,355 --> 00:13:44,556
Perhaps in the 800 tombs
themselves
272
00:13:44,658 --> 00:13:47,826
we found maybe
100 skeletons of people.
273
00:13:47,928 --> 00:13:51,162
So, either the bones were
removed from the other ones
274
00:13:51,264 --> 00:13:53,064
or they were just never used.
275
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:57,702
ALBERINO: Archaeologists
of the world will contend
276
00:13:57,804 --> 00:14:00,505
that the tombs of the giants
in Sardinia
277
00:14:00,607 --> 00:14:03,208
could not possibly have
been built for giants
278
00:14:03,310 --> 00:14:05,610
because the bodies of giants
279
00:14:05,712 --> 00:14:06,911
simply couldn't fit
into the tombs;
280
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:08,513
They weren't big enough.
281
00:14:08,615 --> 00:14:12,550
I personally went there,
measured the tombs myself.
282
00:14:12,652 --> 00:14:15,253
Even in the smaller tombs,
283
00:14:15,355 --> 00:14:18,556
you could fit a nine
to 12-foot giant.
284
00:14:18,658 --> 00:14:20,458
But they're missing the point.
285
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,028
Instead, the body of the giant
286
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:26,497
was buried beneath the tomb
287
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:32,270
and then the edifice was raised
over the burial of the giant.
288
00:14:32,372 --> 00:14:35,073
So there are quite
a few accounts of giants
289
00:14:35,175 --> 00:14:37,375
throughout Sardinia
in many traditions,
290
00:14:37,477 --> 00:14:39,077
especially because
of the giants' tombs
291
00:14:39,179 --> 00:14:40,778
that exist all over the country.
292
00:14:40,881 --> 00:14:43,781
For example, in 1953,
it was reported
293
00:14:43,884 --> 00:14:46,951
that two over eight-foot-tall
skeletons were discovered
294
00:14:47,053 --> 00:14:50,755
in the area with grave goods
and bronze furnishings
295
00:14:50,857 --> 00:14:53,658
and other such things
actually within the tomb itself,
296
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,295
suggesting that, indeed,
giants did exist in Sardinia.
297
00:14:57,397 --> 00:15:00,064
TSOUKALOS: You know,
it's really fascinating
298
00:15:00,166 --> 00:15:02,233
that this is considered
the giant's structure
299
00:15:02,335 --> 00:15:05,303
because this is
not the only one.
300
00:15:05,405 --> 00:15:09,741
Your neighboring island Malta
has stories of giants.
301
00:15:09,843 --> 00:15:13,177
Greece has stories of the
Cyclops, which were also giants.
302
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,413
You can go to South America.
303
00:15:15,515 --> 00:15:18,449
Tiahuanaco was considered
to have been built by giants.
304
00:15:18,551 --> 00:15:22,420
So worldwide we have
these stories of giants.
305
00:15:22,522 --> 00:15:27,759
So the idea that at some point
giants roamed the land...
306
00:15:27,861 --> 00:15:31,629
one has to wonder, were they at
some point all the same beings?
307
00:15:31,731 --> 00:15:34,098
- Yes.
- LAGINA: Enough talking.
308
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,833
- Let's go have a look inside this thing.
- MALU: Andiamo.
309
00:15:35,936 --> 00:15:40,038
TSOUKALOS: I had no idea
of the amazing things
310
00:15:40,140 --> 00:15:42,206
that would await me
on the island.
311
00:15:42,309 --> 00:15:46,511
These megalithic structures,
the tombs of the giants,
312
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:49,614
have become one of
the biggest puzzle pieces
313
00:15:49,716 --> 00:15:51,783
that I've encountered so far.
314
00:15:51,885 --> 00:15:54,585
- Wow.
- LAGINA: Very impressive.
315
00:15:54,688 --> 00:15:57,922
MALU: Look at the beautiful
construction.
316
00:16:00,393 --> 00:16:02,493
And look at the block.
317
00:16:02,595 --> 00:16:04,395
You see the big block on top?
318
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:06,297
- LAGINA: Yeah.
- MALU: It's supposed to be
319
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:10,501
the heaviest we do have here,
so about 12 tons and something.
320
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,203
TSOUKALOS:
So this block right here
321
00:16:12,305 --> 00:16:14,138
-is estimated to be about 12 tons.
- MALU: 12 tons.
322
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,808
TSOUKALOS: Wow. And also this,
323
00:16:16,910 --> 00:16:20,545
what some may refer to as some
type of an altar or a niche.
324
00:16:20,647 --> 00:16:24,482
MALU: That was probably
something for votive offerings
325
00:16:24,584 --> 00:16:27,652
-or maybe ritual.
- Mm-hmm.
326
00:16:27,754 --> 00:16:30,021
ALBERINO: I believe that some
of the tombs were designed
327
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:34,993
for what the Nuragic culture
called the rite of incubation.
328
00:16:35,095 --> 00:16:39,664
Megalithic edifices were raised
over the bodies of the giants
329
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:41,065
that were buried beneath,
330
00:16:41,167 --> 00:16:45,269
and then during
the rite of incubation,
331
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:49,240
the young people would crawl
inside of the tombs,
332
00:16:49,342 --> 00:16:53,277
and then they would
spend the night
333
00:16:53,380 --> 00:16:57,248
and the purpose was that these
young people would incubate
334
00:16:57,350 --> 00:17:03,087
in order to absorb
the power, the prowess,
335
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:05,690
the might of the entities
336
00:17:05,792 --> 00:17:08,960
that were buried
beneath the tombs:
337
00:17:09,062 --> 00:17:13,464
The mighty ones, the heroes,
the giants.
338
00:17:13,566 --> 00:17:18,269
So, actually, they put a lot
of attention in the shape.
339
00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:21,039
TSOUKALOS:
This definitely was preplanned.
340
00:17:21,141 --> 00:17:23,474
Here's what we all can agree on:
Whoever built this had
341
00:17:23,576 --> 00:17:27,245
-a very strong inspiration
and/or motivation. - Yes.
342
00:17:27,347 --> 00:17:31,315
NARRATOR: Did a race of
colossal beings really inhabit
343
00:17:31,418 --> 00:17:34,485
the island of Sardinia
centuries ago?
344
00:17:34,587 --> 00:17:38,289
And, if so,
were their origins Earthly
345
00:17:38,391 --> 00:17:41,392
or extraterrestrial?
346
00:17:43,296 --> 00:17:45,596
NARRATOR: Scattered
throughout western Europe
347
00:17:45,698 --> 00:17:50,068
are more than 10,000 standing
stones known as menhirs.
348
00:17:50,170 --> 00:17:53,938
They are believed to date
back to prehistoric times,
349
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,874
although their purpose
remains a mystery.
350
00:17:56,976 --> 00:18:02,246
Sardinia is home to hundreds
of these menhirs
351
00:18:02,348 --> 00:18:05,783
and ancient astronaut theorist
Giorgio Tsoukalos believes
352
00:18:05,885 --> 00:18:08,186
they may provide a key
353
00:18:08,288 --> 00:18:10,388
to understanding
the island's history.
354
00:18:10,490 --> 00:18:15,259
To this end, he and Oak Island
treasure hunter Marty Lagina
355
00:18:15,361 --> 00:18:18,963
have arranged to meet with
archeological guide Ivana Malu
356
00:18:19,065 --> 00:18:21,399
at the Menhir Museum in Laconi.
357
00:18:21,501 --> 00:18:26,037
MALU: Look at the very strange
circle with the spear.
358
00:18:26,139 --> 00:18:28,206
What do you think, Marty?
What is that?
359
00:18:28,308 --> 00:18:29,574
I'm not sure what that is
360
00:18:29,676 --> 00:18:31,109
and I'm not sure
what this is, either.
361
00:18:31,211 --> 00:18:34,512
Now, you tell me, please,
what should I be seeing?
362
00:18:34,614 --> 00:18:39,784
It's a guy going down...
to go into another dimension.
363
00:18:39,886 --> 00:18:43,921
Do not ask me where
or which other world.
364
00:18:44,023 --> 00:18:46,791
But he's going on a trip,
on a journey
365
00:18:46,893 --> 00:18:48,893
going from point "A"
to point "B."
366
00:18:48,995 --> 00:18:53,664
Whatever it really symbolizes,
it was very important.
367
00:18:53,766 --> 00:18:55,600
This took an enormous amount
of work, just this.
368
00:18:55,702 --> 00:18:57,468
I mean, it's very heavy.
369
00:18:57,570 --> 00:19:00,404
It-it's done in relief, which is
the hard way to do a carving.
370
00:19:00,507 --> 00:19:03,508
- I-I think it's, uh...
- What do you think that represents?
371
00:19:03,610 --> 00:19:06,777
TSOUKALOS: We have people
with two wings on each side.
372
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,179
You know, it's almost like
an early version
373
00:19:08,281 --> 00:19:10,848
of some type of an angel.
374
00:19:10,950 --> 00:19:14,652
I'm arguing that what
we are looking at here
375
00:19:14,754 --> 00:19:17,922
is someone visiting
from the sky.
376
00:19:18,024 --> 00:19:23,361
In the Bible, they were referred
to as "the watchers."
377
00:19:23,463 --> 00:19:26,297
NARRATOR: The watchers?
378
00:19:26,399 --> 00:19:28,432
The so-called fallen angels
379
00:19:28,535 --> 00:19:31,769
as referred to
in the Bible's Old Testament?
380
00:19:31,871 --> 00:19:34,539
According to the Book of Daniel,
381
00:19:34,641 --> 00:19:37,441
as well as in the Apocryphal
Books of Enoch,
382
00:19:37,544 --> 00:19:41,012
God sent a group of angels,
referred to as "the watchers,"
383
00:19:41,114 --> 00:19:44,715
down to Earth
to watch over humankind.
384
00:19:44,817 --> 00:19:47,718
But the watchers went
against God's will
385
00:19:47,820 --> 00:19:49,820
and mated with human women,
386
00:19:49,923 --> 00:19:54,058
producing a race of giant
mutants known as Nephilim.
387
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,493
RABBI ARIEL BAR TZADOK:
They were called
388
00:19:55,595 --> 00:19:58,329
the mighty ones of old.
389
00:19:58,431 --> 00:20:01,532
They were physical giants.
390
00:20:01,634 --> 00:20:06,003
And they brought havoc and
destruction upon the Earth.
391
00:20:06,105 --> 00:20:10,675
And this is what led to God's
decision to bring the flood.
392
00:20:10,777 --> 00:20:14,912
Even though the Bible teaches us
that Noah and his family
393
00:20:15,014 --> 00:20:17,915
were the only humans
to survive the flood,
394
00:20:18,017 --> 00:20:20,651
ancient legends teach us
that there were others
395
00:20:20,753 --> 00:20:24,088
who did survive
in many other places.
396
00:20:24,190 --> 00:20:27,158
MARTELL: When we talk
about the term "Nephilim,"
397
00:20:27,260 --> 00:20:29,927
it is associated
with genetic hybrid entities.
398
00:20:30,029 --> 00:20:31,829
What this translates to me
399
00:20:31,931 --> 00:20:34,031
is that they were
part extraterrestrial.
400
00:20:34,133 --> 00:20:37,568
Part of that story involves
the great flood.
401
00:20:37,670 --> 00:20:41,205
So it's also possible that they
decided to set up new camps
402
00:20:41,307 --> 00:20:43,341
beyond the ones
that were destroyed.
403
00:20:43,443 --> 00:20:46,510
CHILDRESS: So we have to wonder
404
00:20:46,613 --> 00:20:50,081
if Sardinia, perhaps,
was a refuge for the Nephilim.
405
00:20:50,183 --> 00:20:53,451
TSOUKALOS: You know what I find
beyond fascinating
406
00:20:53,553 --> 00:20:56,354
is this shape down here,
407
00:20:56,456 --> 00:20:59,624
which mainstream archeology
suggests is some type
408
00:20:59,726 --> 00:21:02,260
of a weapon,
some type of a dagger.
409
00:21:02,362 --> 00:21:04,528
Which makes perfect sense.
410
00:21:04,631 --> 00:21:09,967
But in conjunction with this
symbol right here, and that,
411
00:21:10,069 --> 00:21:12,770
one could argue that
this is a representation
412
00:21:12,872 --> 00:21:16,607
of some type of
misunderstood technology
413
00:21:16,709 --> 00:21:20,177
that illustrates
some type of a flying craft.
414
00:21:22,582 --> 00:21:24,582
NARRATOR: Is it possible
415
00:21:24,684 --> 00:21:27,418
that the figures found
on Sardinia's menhirs
416
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,288
represent not angels
sent from heaven,
417
00:21:30,390 --> 00:21:33,157
but extraterrestrial visitors?
418
00:21:33,259 --> 00:21:36,527
Beings that came in spaceships
from another world
419
00:21:36,629 --> 00:21:39,030
and then fathered
a race of giants?
420
00:21:41,067 --> 00:21:42,633
♪ ♪
421
00:21:42,735 --> 00:21:44,468
To see if there might be
422
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:46,270
some compelling
physical evidence
423
00:21:46,372 --> 00:21:48,572
to support the theory
that Sardinia
424
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:51,909
was once home to a race of
extraterrestrial giants...
425
00:21:52,011 --> 00:21:53,344
- Hello, sir.
- Ciao.
426
00:21:53,446 --> 00:21:55,179
- Ciao.
- NARRATOR: ...Giorgio and Marty
427
00:21:55,281 --> 00:21:57,648
have decided to take a look
428
00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:59,250
at the oldest structure
on the island
429
00:21:59,352 --> 00:22:02,553
the way extraterrestrials
might have viewed it:
430
00:22:02,655 --> 00:22:05,923
From the sky.
431
00:22:11,597 --> 00:22:13,597
Giorgio, here it is.
432
00:22:15,535 --> 00:22:19,437
NARRATOR: The stepped pyramid
known as Monte d'Accoddi
433
00:22:19,539 --> 00:22:21,772
was built around 4000 BC,
434
00:22:21,874 --> 00:22:25,609
but what purpose it served
remains a mystery.
435
00:22:25,712 --> 00:22:27,878
Does it remind you of anything
you've seen before?
436
00:22:27,980 --> 00:22:29,380
Have you ever seen
anything like this?
437
00:22:29,482 --> 00:22:30,948
TSOUKALOS:
Yeah, clearly, I mean,
438
00:22:31,050 --> 00:22:32,950
this looks like some type of
a stepped pyramid,
439
00:22:33,052 --> 00:22:36,787
almost like a ziggurat, which
you can find in Mesopotamia,
440
00:22:36,889 --> 00:22:40,324
which is very interesting,
because how is it possible
441
00:22:40,426 --> 00:22:45,129
that we have a step pyramid here
and in Mesopotamia?
442
00:22:45,231 --> 00:22:47,631
And also, even closer,
443
00:22:47,734 --> 00:22:51,802
you have something similar
in the Canary Islands,
444
00:22:51,904 --> 00:22:53,938
on the island of Tenerife.
445
00:22:57,810 --> 00:22:59,643
NARRATOR:
Archaeologists have discovered
446
00:22:59,746 --> 00:23:02,413
that the original structure
of Monte d'Accoddi
447
00:23:02,515 --> 00:23:04,982
was completely covered
with a layered mixture
448
00:23:05,084 --> 00:23:09,053
of earth and stone
around 2800 BC
449
00:23:09,155 --> 00:23:11,021
and that the platform underneath
450
00:23:11,124 --> 00:23:14,725
has evidence of
being exposed to fire.
451
00:23:14,827 --> 00:23:18,763
This has led some ancient
astronaut theorists to speculate
452
00:23:18,865 --> 00:23:21,532
that it may have served
a unique purpose
453
00:23:21,634 --> 00:23:24,001
for extraterrestrial visitors.
454
00:23:24,103 --> 00:23:26,437
MARTELL: It could be that,
in the ancient past,
455
00:23:26,539 --> 00:23:28,339
maybe these sites
were actually used
456
00:23:28,441 --> 00:23:31,609
as some type of loading dock
for spacecraft.
457
00:23:31,711 --> 00:23:34,345
The platform on top
is specifically situated
458
00:23:34,447 --> 00:23:36,747
to hold some type
of large craft.
459
00:23:36,849 --> 00:23:38,349
And the ramp was used
460
00:23:38,451 --> 00:23:40,584
to possibly load
or unload supplies.
461
00:23:40,686 --> 00:23:43,254
So we have to wonder
if this ancient ziggurat
462
00:23:43,356 --> 00:23:47,057
wasn't actually some type
of ancient space platform.
463
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,560
TSOUKALOS: Is it possible
464
00:23:49,662 --> 00:23:51,328
that we have a step pyramid here
465
00:23:51,431 --> 00:23:56,700
built in the likeness of
something that our ancestors saw
466
00:23:56,803 --> 00:23:58,702
and it impressed them very much,
467
00:23:58,805 --> 00:24:03,774
so that they were compelled
to build it in stone?
468
00:24:03,876 --> 00:24:07,945
LAGINA: You know, that's a very
interesting perspective.
469
00:24:08,047 --> 00:24:11,148
NARRATOR: Were Sardinia's
architectural marvels
470
00:24:11,250 --> 00:24:14,251
really built
thousands of years ago
471
00:24:14,353 --> 00:24:18,322
to serve the needs
of a race of extraterrestrials?
472
00:24:18,424 --> 00:24:21,459
Or could they have been built
more recently,
473
00:24:21,561 --> 00:24:24,628
by early humans who witnessed
alien activity
474
00:24:24,730 --> 00:24:28,766
and then interpreted it
in ways they could comprehend?
475
00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:32,603
For Giorgio and other
ancient astronaut theorists,
476
00:24:32,705 --> 00:24:34,939
it is a question
that might be answered
477
00:24:35,041 --> 00:24:37,808
by examining
a mysterious structure
478
00:24:37,910 --> 00:24:40,144
that was built to track
celestial events
479
00:24:40,246 --> 00:24:42,246
with astonishing precision.
480
00:24:48,654 --> 00:24:51,088
NARRATOR: Paulilatino, Sardinia.
481
00:24:51,190 --> 00:24:53,491
May 2018.
482
00:24:53,593 --> 00:24:55,092
- Here we go.
- Are you excited? -Yeah.
483
00:24:55,194 --> 00:24:57,862
- Oh, very. Very much so.
- Yes. So follow me, please.
484
00:24:57,964 --> 00:25:00,030
NARRATOR: Giorgio Tsoukalos,
Marty Lagina,
485
00:25:00,132 --> 00:25:03,000
and archeological guide
Ivana Malu
486
00:25:03,102 --> 00:25:06,036
travel to the sacred
Well of Santa Cristina,
487
00:25:06,138 --> 00:25:07,838
an ancient structure
believed to have been built
488
00:25:07,940 --> 00:25:10,541
sometime around 1800 BC--
489
00:25:10,643 --> 00:25:13,677
Not for the purpose
of withdrawing water,
490
00:25:13,779 --> 00:25:16,614
but to track a very specific
celestial event
491
00:25:16,716 --> 00:25:18,382
with incredible precision.
492
00:25:18,484 --> 00:25:21,785
Upon their arrival,
they meet with
493
00:25:21,888 --> 00:25:25,890
archeoastronomer and author
Mauro Peppino Zedda.
494
00:25:25,992 --> 00:25:27,691
Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute, uh...
495
00:25:27,793 --> 00:25:29,693
- MALU: Yes. Yeah, prego.
- These are modern, right?
496
00:25:29,795 --> 00:25:30,694
- This is reproduction? No,
no, I mean it. -(Laughs)
497
00:25:30,796 --> 00:25:31,695
No, I know, I know, I know.
498
00:25:31,797 --> 00:25:32,963
LAGINA: This is reproduction.
499
00:25:33,065 --> 00:25:34,398
MALU: It's what people say
when they are here.
500
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:35,799
They say, oh, Ivana,
that's a fake.
501
00:25:35,902 --> 00:25:37,201
What is that here?
502
00:25:37,303 --> 00:25:39,303
Can you imagine the well here
is 3,000 years old?
503
00:25:39,405 --> 00:25:41,305
LAGINA: No, honestly,
these are the original stones?
504
00:25:41,407 --> 00:25:42,640
MALU: Really, believe me.
505
00:25:42,742 --> 00:25:44,074
- LAGINA: Wow.
- MALU: 100%.
506
00:25:44,176 --> 00:25:47,077
That is built to last
for the eternity.
507
00:25:47,179 --> 00:25:48,412
Well, this is spectacular.
508
00:25:50,416 --> 00:25:52,917
NARRATOR: The Well
of Santa Cristina demonstrates
509
00:25:53,019 --> 00:25:56,921
such incredible masonry skill
that archaeologists struggle
510
00:25:57,023 --> 00:26:00,658
to explain how it was built
by so-called primitive people.
511
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,494
Based on his years of research,
512
00:26:03,596 --> 00:26:06,397
Giorgio believes
that both the stonework
513
00:26:06,499 --> 00:26:09,433
and the well's connection
to celestial events
514
00:26:09,535 --> 00:26:11,969
may provide important clues
for the theory
515
00:26:12,071 --> 00:26:14,605
that a race of
extraterrestrial giants
516
00:26:14,707 --> 00:26:16,674
once inhabited the island.
517
00:26:18,044 --> 00:26:19,810
Do you want to touch
with your hand
518
00:26:19,912 --> 00:26:21,779
-the sophistication of the wall?
- LAGINA: Yes.
519
00:26:21,881 --> 00:26:23,414
- Yes.
- We want to go down there.
520
00:26:23,516 --> 00:26:25,082
- Let's go down...
- Yes, of course. We have to.
521
00:26:25,184 --> 00:26:27,051
♪ ♪
522
00:26:27,153 --> 00:26:29,420
MALU: You can touch it
with your hands.
523
00:26:33,593 --> 00:26:35,092
- LAGINA: Unbelievable.
- TSOUKALOS: This is crazy.
524
00:26:35,194 --> 00:26:36,660
I mean, look at this.
525
00:26:36,762 --> 00:26:37,861
It is round.
526
00:26:37,964 --> 00:26:39,530
It's a perfect circle.
527
00:26:39,632 --> 00:26:42,032
You can't put
a piece of paper...
528
00:26:42,134 --> 00:26:44,368
There's no mortar used
to put this stuff together.
529
00:26:44,470 --> 00:26:46,270
I mean...
530
00:26:46,372 --> 00:26:48,505
- MALU: It's amazing.
-Incredibile è questo.
531
00:26:50,076 --> 00:26:52,109
LAGINA: Not only is it
constructed beautifully,
532
00:26:52,211 --> 00:26:55,379
the foundation is below
the water table, okay?
533
00:26:55,481 --> 00:26:57,147
That's very hard to do.
534
00:26:57,249 --> 00:26:59,650
I could tell you
from Oak Island...
535
00:26:59,752 --> 00:27:00,784
- TSOUKALOS: Right?
-...working in the water
536
00:27:00,886 --> 00:27:01,819
-is difficult.
- TSOUKALOS: Yes.
537
00:27:01,921 --> 00:27:03,887
LAGINA: This is spectacular.
538
00:27:05,257 --> 00:27:07,791
(speaking Italian)
539
00:27:07,893 --> 00:27:09,193
MALU (translating):
And this cupola
540
00:27:09,295 --> 00:27:10,661
is really built
541
00:27:10,763 --> 00:27:13,897
to observe the Moon
in its highest light.
542
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,899
(Zedda speaking Italian)
543
00:27:16,002 --> 00:27:17,167
MALU (translating):
Its maximum...
544
00:27:17,269 --> 00:27:18,502
(speaking Italian)
545
00:27:18,604 --> 00:27:19,803
I get it.
546
00:27:19,905 --> 00:27:22,740
(translating):
...is every 18.6 years.
547
00:27:22,842 --> 00:27:25,075
The full Moon reflects its light
548
00:27:25,177 --> 00:27:27,544
in the deep water over there.
549
00:27:29,315 --> 00:27:30,848
NARRATOR:
What Ivana is describing
550
00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:35,386
is a celestial event known as
"The Lunar Standstill,"
551
00:27:35,488 --> 00:27:37,888
the time when the Moon reaches
552
00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:39,823
its highest point
in the night sky
553
00:27:39,925 --> 00:27:42,359
and appears to stay there
for hours
554
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:44,828
until it finally descends.
555
00:27:44,930 --> 00:27:47,331
But how was
an ancient civilization,
556
00:27:47,433 --> 00:27:49,667
supposedly one
without mathematics
557
00:27:49,769 --> 00:27:51,335
or even a written language,
558
00:27:51,437 --> 00:27:55,439
able to conceive of such
a precise and ingenious method
559
00:27:55,541 --> 00:27:58,742
of tracking such a rare
lunar cycle,
560
00:27:58,844 --> 00:28:01,178
one that likely occurred
no more than once or twice
561
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,247
in an average lifetime?
562
00:28:05,551 --> 00:28:07,084
The question is,
there was no written language.
563
00:28:07,186 --> 00:28:09,853
How was this planned?
564
00:28:09,955 --> 00:28:12,122
(speaks Italian)
565
00:28:12,224 --> 00:28:14,792
(translating): You can...
You can build without any plan.
566
00:28:14,894 --> 00:28:16,694
Even if you are not
an architect, he said.
567
00:28:16,796 --> 00:28:18,896
You're gonna build your house
without a blueprint?
568
00:28:18,998 --> 00:28:20,898
- No.
-(laughter)
569
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,266
MALU: No.
570
00:28:22,368 --> 00:28:24,768
Well, clearly, someone
told the local people
571
00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:29,707
how to place these stones
into different areas
572
00:28:29,809 --> 00:28:34,445
because it was a connection
to the celestial realm.
573
00:28:34,547 --> 00:28:38,315
And then, afterwards,
this became a place of worship.
574
00:28:38,417 --> 00:28:39,983
The place of worship only begins
575
00:28:40,086 --> 00:28:42,553
after something
extraordinary happens,
576
00:28:42,655 --> 00:28:44,788
-not before.
- LAGINA: So you're surmising
577
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:46,824
the technology was given
to these people.
578
00:28:46,926 --> 00:28:48,892
- The engineering knowledge.
- LAGINA: Yeah.
579
00:28:48,994 --> 00:28:51,462
Because this screams
mathematics.
580
00:28:51,564 --> 00:28:52,730
LAGINA: Yes, it does.
581
00:28:52,832 --> 00:28:55,632
I will certainly concur
to this extent:
582
00:28:55,735 --> 00:28:59,970
Someone or some ones had
extraordinary knowledge here.
583
00:29:00,072 --> 00:29:02,439
- This is not easy to build.
- No.
584
00:29:02,541 --> 00:29:04,508
NARRATOR: Is it possible
585
00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:07,177
that someone gave
the ancient Sardinians
586
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:10,013
highly advanced
engineering knowledge
587
00:29:10,116 --> 00:29:13,117
and that that knowledge
was passed down,
588
00:29:13,219 --> 00:29:16,687
generation by generation,
for thousands of years?
589
00:29:16,789 --> 00:29:20,657
But if so, where did that
knowledge originate?
590
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,126
TSOUKALOS: My suggestion is
591
00:29:22,228 --> 00:29:24,361
this engineering knowledge
592
00:29:24,463 --> 00:29:26,597
was given to the local culture
593
00:29:26,699 --> 00:29:29,032
at the time
by the extraterrestrials.
594
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:31,135
I am not saying this lightly.
595
00:29:31,237 --> 00:29:32,970
I am only saying this because
596
00:29:33,072 --> 00:29:35,973
the legends and the statuary
597
00:29:36,075 --> 00:29:38,642
that have been found here
all speak
598
00:29:38,744 --> 00:29:41,378
of someone descending
from the sky.
599
00:29:44,250 --> 00:29:46,450
NARRATOR:
Why would otherworldly beings
600
00:29:46,552 --> 00:29:49,686
teach the ancient Sardinians
to accurately track
601
00:29:49,789 --> 00:29:54,858
a lunar phenomenon that only
occurs every 18.6 years?
602
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,695
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
603
00:29:58,798 --> 00:30:00,664
that the answers can be found
604
00:30:00,766 --> 00:30:03,200
in the Biblical story
of the Nephilim,
605
00:30:03,302 --> 00:30:05,335
the strange race of giants
606
00:30:05,437 --> 00:30:07,905
that were the offspring
of the fallen angels
607
00:30:08,007 --> 00:30:09,506
and human women.
608
00:30:09,608 --> 00:30:12,509
NEWMAN: It is known that
the Nephilim studied astronomy.
609
00:30:12,611 --> 00:30:15,412
They studied the Moon cycles,
the solar cycles,
610
00:30:15,514 --> 00:30:17,714
astrology, architecture.
611
00:30:17,817 --> 00:30:20,684
And, obviously, Sardinia could
have been one of the places
612
00:30:20,786 --> 00:30:22,820
where this knowledge ended up.
613
00:30:22,922 --> 00:30:25,656
COLLINS:
Is it possible that the Nephilim
614
00:30:25,758 --> 00:30:29,526
of the Bible taught humanity
615
00:30:29,628 --> 00:30:35,833
the knowledge of
the 18.61-year lunar cycle?
616
00:30:35,935 --> 00:30:39,102
And the answer
could actually be yes.
617
00:30:39,205 --> 00:30:43,340
The Bible says
that they were destroyed
618
00:30:43,442 --> 00:30:47,911
in a cataclysm
that involved a deluge.
619
00:30:51,217 --> 00:30:55,352
But did any of them
survive this deluge?
620
00:30:55,454 --> 00:30:58,188
Well, the Bible tells us
that they did.
621
00:30:58,290 --> 00:31:00,691
CHILDRESS:
It's an interesting idea
622
00:31:00,793 --> 00:31:03,894
that survivors of the flood
moved from the Middle East
623
00:31:03,996 --> 00:31:06,263
to Sardinia.
624
00:31:06,365 --> 00:31:09,867
And that Sardinia became a
special refuge for the Nephilim,
625
00:31:09,969 --> 00:31:11,802
for these giants,
626
00:31:11,904 --> 00:31:16,373
and they installed
a Moon-worshipping culture.
627
00:31:16,475 --> 00:31:19,243
NARRATOR:
Is the Well of Santa Cristina
628
00:31:19,345 --> 00:31:21,645
evidence that
the ancient Nuragic people
629
00:31:21,747 --> 00:31:24,248
came into contact
with giant beings
630
00:31:24,350 --> 00:31:27,217
described in the Bible
as the Nephilim?
631
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:31,622
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
632
00:31:31,724 --> 00:31:35,058
and suggest that other
structures exist in Sardinia
633
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,762
that point to the exact origins
of both the Nephilim
634
00:31:38,864 --> 00:31:42,733
and their
extraterrestrial ancestors.
635
00:31:47,539 --> 00:31:50,574
NARRATOR: Of the many
mysterious stone carvings
636
00:31:50,676 --> 00:31:53,443
and structures found
throughout Sardinia,
637
00:31:53,545 --> 00:31:56,146
perhaps the most confounding
638
00:31:56,248 --> 00:31:58,548
are the thousands
of megalithic towers
639
00:31:58,651 --> 00:32:00,918
that dot the island's landscape.
640
00:32:01,020 --> 00:32:04,288
The structures,
known as nuraghe,
641
00:32:04,390 --> 00:32:06,623
stand as architectural marvels,
642
00:32:06,725 --> 00:32:10,060
each constructed
using colossal stones
643
00:32:10,162 --> 00:32:13,563
and held together
without the use of mortar.
644
00:32:15,734 --> 00:32:18,268
The conventional narrative,
645
00:32:18,370 --> 00:32:21,238
concerning the purpose
of these towers,
646
00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:25,842
is that they were constructed
as fortifications.
647
00:32:25,945 --> 00:32:29,346
How do you build 30,000 towers
648
00:32:29,448 --> 00:32:32,849
employing all of the equipment
649
00:32:32,952 --> 00:32:35,118
and manpower that implies,
650
00:32:35,220 --> 00:32:37,821
and yet still continue to farm,
651
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:40,524
still continue
to defend yourself
652
00:32:40,626 --> 00:32:42,092
while you're building
these towers?
653
00:32:42,194 --> 00:32:45,996
NARRATOR: To investigate
the nuraghe firsthand,
654
00:32:46,098 --> 00:32:48,498
Giorgio Tsoukalos
and Marty Lagina
655
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,435
traveled with archeological
guide Ivana Malu
656
00:32:51,537 --> 00:32:54,671
to the nuraghe of Santu Antine,
657
00:32:54,773 --> 00:32:56,940
one of the largest
on the island.
658
00:32:57,042 --> 00:33:00,043
- Let's go inside.
- Yes. -Let's do that.
659
00:33:00,145 --> 00:33:03,113
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
these colossal stone structures
660
00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:04,781
are, in some way,
661
00:33:04,883 --> 00:33:07,884
linked to the numerous
mythological tales of giants,
662
00:33:07,987 --> 00:33:12,155
whom many believe lived here
thousands of years ago?
663
00:33:12,257 --> 00:33:14,057
MALU: I'll show you the way.
664
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:16,626
Wow, Ivana, this is...
this is...
665
00:33:16,729 --> 00:33:18,195
Wow, look at this.
666
00:33:18,297 --> 00:33:20,163
- LAGINA: This is impressive.
- MALU: Look at this.
667
00:33:20,265 --> 00:33:23,233
This is only one nuraghe
in 8,000 we found in Sardinia,
668
00:33:23,335 --> 00:33:26,470
-which has three niches...
- LAGINA: Mm-hmm.
669
00:33:26,572 --> 00:33:29,639
...connected by a tunnel.
670
00:33:29,742 --> 00:33:33,010
I mean, this
is absolutely crazy.
671
00:33:33,112 --> 00:33:35,812
Huh.
672
00:33:35,914 --> 00:33:37,814
Look at the size
of these blocks.
673
00:33:37,916 --> 00:33:39,883
I mean, that one right there
is a minimum of one ton,
674
00:33:39,985 --> 00:33:41,518
- I'm sure.
- MALU: Yeah.
675
00:33:41,620 --> 00:33:43,153
LAGINA: The effort to create
this is extraordinary,
676
00:33:43,255 --> 00:33:45,889
absolutely extraordinary.
677
00:33:45,991 --> 00:33:47,357
And I think it was made by
678
00:33:47,459 --> 00:33:49,926
a very advanced society,
in some senses,
679
00:33:50,029 --> 00:33:52,763
which is to say, where's
the knowledge come from, right?
680
00:33:52,865 --> 00:33:54,097
TSOUKALOS:
Right, because clearly...
681
00:33:54,199 --> 00:33:55,432
This is not a simple structure.
682
00:33:55,534 --> 00:33:57,334
And this is interesting because
683
00:33:57,436 --> 00:34:02,172
there are other places around
the world with similar masonry,
684
00:34:02,274 --> 00:34:06,009
so you have to wonder
what's going on.
685
00:34:06,111 --> 00:34:08,245
So Giorgio, we've been in here
now for awhile.
686
00:34:08,347 --> 00:34:10,614
What's your best idea,
what is this?
687
00:34:10,716 --> 00:34:12,416
TSOUKALOS:
Well, some have suggested
688
00:34:12,518 --> 00:34:16,520
that these places here
are in correspondence
689
00:34:16,622 --> 00:34:19,423
to some constellations,
such as the Pleiades.
690
00:34:19,525 --> 00:34:22,692
NARRATOR: According to the work
of Italian author
691
00:34:22,795 --> 00:34:25,529
and archaeologist Augusto Mulas
692
00:34:25,631 --> 00:34:27,931
the constellation
known as the Pleiades
693
00:34:28,033 --> 00:34:31,134
has played an important role
in religious rituals
694
00:34:31,236 --> 00:34:35,939
for thousands of years,
particularly in ancient Babylon.
695
00:34:36,041 --> 00:34:39,943
He also observed that,
when viewed from the air,
696
00:34:40,045 --> 00:34:44,247
the nuraghe at Santu Antine
was one of seven that,
697
00:34:44,349 --> 00:34:45,882
when looked at together,
698
00:34:45,984 --> 00:34:48,652
precisely matched the
configuration of the stars
699
00:34:48,754 --> 00:34:50,787
of the Pleiades.
700
00:34:50,889 --> 00:34:52,989
But why?
701
00:34:53,092 --> 00:34:55,058
Could it be connected
in some way
702
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,662
to the ancient Babylonian
stories of the Anunnaki,
703
00:34:58,764 --> 00:35:00,297
the winged giants who,
704
00:35:00,399 --> 00:35:02,666
as depicted in numerous
ancient carvings,
705
00:35:02,768 --> 00:35:05,969
suggest an eerie connection
to the so-called "watchers"
706
00:35:06,071 --> 00:35:07,804
referenced in the Bible?
707
00:35:07,906 --> 00:35:10,807
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
708
00:35:10,909 --> 00:35:14,678
the answer is a profound yes,
but they also cite
709
00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:18,682
numerous other connections
between ancient civilizations
710
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:21,351
and the Pleiades constellation.
711
00:35:21,453 --> 00:35:24,121
The Pleiades are
a very special star group
712
00:35:24,223 --> 00:35:25,755
to numerous ancient cultures,
713
00:35:25,858 --> 00:35:28,792
including the Maya
and the Cherokee and others,
714
00:35:28,894 --> 00:35:30,794
who believed that
it was a place from whence
715
00:35:30,896 --> 00:35:33,864
our creators originated--
That, in fact, beings have been
716
00:35:33,966 --> 00:35:37,434
coming and going
from the Pleiades for millennia.
717
00:35:37,536 --> 00:35:40,137
But you have to wonder, with
this connection in Sardinia,
718
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:41,972
perhaps the inhabitants
of Sardinia
719
00:35:42,074 --> 00:35:43,373
were actually in contact
720
00:35:43,475 --> 00:35:45,342
with beings from the Pleiades.
721
00:35:45,444 --> 00:35:48,879
I think it's really fascinating
722
00:35:48,981 --> 00:35:50,647
that these nuraghes
are actually representations
723
00:35:50,749 --> 00:35:54,117
of a certain section in the,
in the night sky,
724
00:35:54,219 --> 00:35:57,654
and so, you know, maybe that
was the calling card
725
00:35:57,756 --> 00:35:59,055
by the extraterrestrials
726
00:35:59,158 --> 00:36:02,859
in order to show
where they came from.
727
00:36:02,961 --> 00:36:05,061
- A sort of map.
- Exactly.
728
00:36:05,164 --> 00:36:06,897
Here it is, surviving
after 3,000 years.
729
00:36:06,999 --> 00:36:09,733
Are any of the buildings
we're creating today
730
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,968
-gonna last that long?
- Oh, that's a great question.
731
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:13,303
LAGINA: I doubt it.
732
00:36:13,405 --> 00:36:14,704
TSOUKALOS:
All of these structures
733
00:36:14,806 --> 00:36:17,641
were built in a megalithic style
734
00:36:17,743 --> 00:36:19,976
for a future generation
that would understand
735
00:36:20,078 --> 00:36:23,280
the discrepancy in logic.
736
00:36:25,117 --> 00:36:28,518
NARRATOR: If Sardinia really
was home to a race of giants,
737
00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:30,020
who were they?
738
00:36:30,122 --> 00:36:32,822
Could they have been
the Nephilim,
739
00:36:32,925 --> 00:36:35,525
the hybrid children
of the so-called "watchers"?
740
00:36:35,627 --> 00:36:39,596
But if so,
what happened to them?
741
00:36:39,698 --> 00:36:42,666
Were they destroyed
by the great flood?
742
00:36:42,768 --> 00:36:45,769
Or did some of them survive,
743
00:36:45,871 --> 00:36:47,504
living out their last days
744
00:36:47,606 --> 00:36:50,073
on a remote island
in the Mediterranean?
745
00:36:54,446 --> 00:36:55,946
NARRATOR: For centuries,
746
00:36:56,048 --> 00:36:58,748
visitors to the Mediterranean
island of Sardinia
747
00:36:58,850 --> 00:37:02,152
have been greeted with strange
and mysterious stories
748
00:37:02,254 --> 00:37:06,923
that a race of giants once lived
there, thousands of years ago.
749
00:37:07,025 --> 00:37:09,292
But other than the presence
750
00:37:09,394 --> 00:37:12,362
of hundreds of bizarre
monolithic stone structures,
751
00:37:12,464 --> 00:37:15,332
there had been little
physical evidence
752
00:37:15,434 --> 00:37:17,767
after 1953 to convince
753
00:37:17,869 --> 00:37:20,170
mainstream archaeologists,
754
00:37:20,272 --> 00:37:22,806
or even ancient
astronaut theorists,
755
00:37:22,908 --> 00:37:26,943
that the myths about giants
ever had a basis in reality.
756
00:37:27,045 --> 00:37:30,947
That is, until 1979,
757
00:37:31,049 --> 00:37:33,683
when more giant bones
were reportedly discovered
758
00:37:33,785 --> 00:37:38,555
during one of the island's
many archaeological excavations.
759
00:37:38,657 --> 00:37:41,324
I interviewed two individuals
760
00:37:41,426 --> 00:37:44,461
who worked on the excavation
of the Nuragic ruins
761
00:37:44,563 --> 00:37:45,962
in the town of Sardara,
762
00:37:46,064 --> 00:37:49,199
underneath the Church
of Sant'Anastasia.
763
00:37:49,301 --> 00:37:51,001
Both of these individuals
dug up,
764
00:37:51,103 --> 00:37:53,737
at different periods of time,
765
00:37:53,839 --> 00:37:57,741
multiple skeletons of giants,
from nine to 12 feet tall.
766
00:37:57,843 --> 00:38:01,077
And then the bones of the giants
767
00:38:01,179 --> 00:38:05,148
would go into the church
and then disappear overnight.
768
00:38:05,250 --> 00:38:08,184
There have been hundreds
of excavations
769
00:38:08,287 --> 00:38:12,722
in which the bones of giants
have been allegedly unearthed
770
00:38:12,824 --> 00:38:14,758
and then secreted away.
771
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:18,194
TSOUKALOS: Before we left
the island of Sardinia,
772
00:38:18,297 --> 00:38:21,998
Marty and I were supposed
to finally get access
773
00:38:22,100 --> 00:38:24,334
to an actual giant bone.
774
00:38:24,436 --> 00:38:26,536
That was all set,
775
00:38:26,638 --> 00:38:28,738
and then we received
notifications
776
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:31,441
that the guy pulled out,
777
00:38:31,543 --> 00:38:34,711
and he was not going to show us
the giant bone.
778
00:38:34,813 --> 00:38:37,847
Why did he pull out?
779
00:38:37,949 --> 00:38:41,084
One could argue that some type
of censorship
780
00:38:41,186 --> 00:38:43,086
is going on in Sardinia.
781
00:38:43,188 --> 00:38:45,722
NARRATOR: Censorship?
782
00:38:45,824 --> 00:38:47,957
Is it possible
that physical evidence
783
00:38:48,060 --> 00:38:49,392
that could help prove
that giants
784
00:38:49,494 --> 00:38:52,762
once inhabited
the island of Sardinia
785
00:38:52,864 --> 00:38:54,664
has been deliberately
hidden away?
786
00:38:54,766 --> 00:38:58,435
But, if so, by whom? And why?
787
00:39:00,706 --> 00:39:03,373
As far as Giorgio and Marty
are concerned,
788
00:39:03,475 --> 00:39:05,775
that is just one
of the many questions
789
00:39:05,877 --> 00:39:08,812
still left unanswered
by their trip.
790
00:39:08,914 --> 00:39:11,414
LAGINA:
Hey, I want to ask you this,
791
00:39:11,516 --> 00:39:15,251
did ancient astronauts
visit Sardinia?
792
00:39:15,354 --> 00:39:18,722
I think there is no doubt
that extraterrestrials
793
00:39:18,824 --> 00:39:21,591
visited Sardinia
in ancient times
794
00:39:21,693 --> 00:39:24,294
because there are similar
795
00:39:24,396 --> 00:39:27,430
megalithic structures
796
00:39:27,532 --> 00:39:29,432
of inexplicable origin
797
00:39:29,534 --> 00:39:31,668
-elsewhere on the planet.
- Right, 'cause it's a piece
798
00:39:31,770 --> 00:39:33,436
of what you've seen
elsewhere. Okay.
799
00:39:33,538 --> 00:39:36,172
- Yes, it adds to the bigger picture.
- Yeah, okay.
800
00:39:36,274 --> 00:39:39,342
Our ancestors were all visited
by the same teachers.
801
00:39:39,444 --> 00:39:41,277
You know what?
I respect that immensely
802
00:39:41,380 --> 00:39:42,979
because I think
that's the correct
803
00:39:43,081 --> 00:39:44,981
scientific way
to go about things.
804
00:39:45,083 --> 00:39:46,416
You start with a supposition,
805
00:39:46,518 --> 00:39:48,284
and then put it
to the reality test,
806
00:39:48,387 --> 00:39:49,519
put it to the real world,
807
00:39:49,621 --> 00:39:51,821
put it to the evidence.
I want to become
808
00:39:51,923 --> 00:39:53,423
convinced by the data.
809
00:39:53,525 --> 00:39:55,525
Well, if I have accomplished
anything with you,
810
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:59,929
I hope that you continue looking
at other places and be like,
811
00:40:00,031 --> 00:40:03,133
"You know, that Giorgio guy,
he has a point."
812
00:40:03,235 --> 00:40:04,634
You want me to be convinced.
813
00:40:04,736 --> 00:40:07,303
- Yes, exactly.
- Yeah. And that's a key point.
814
00:40:07,406 --> 00:40:10,006
You look me in the eye
and you say, "You know what,
815
00:40:10,108 --> 00:40:11,641
"I am convinced
that ancient astronauts
816
00:40:11,743 --> 00:40:14,010
"visited this planet
and sowed the seeds
817
00:40:14,112 --> 00:40:16,379
of what inspired people
to build these things."
818
00:40:16,481 --> 00:40:18,281
I can't prove you wrong, okay?
819
00:40:18,383 --> 00:40:19,783
-(chuckles)
- I can't.
820
00:40:19,885 --> 00:40:22,819
And I don't anybody
who can do that.
821
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:24,320
So the book is still open.
822
00:40:24,423 --> 00:40:25,955
Yes, and I hope you will read
the next chapter.
823
00:40:26,057 --> 00:40:27,524
You write it,
I'll read it, okay?
824
00:40:27,626 --> 00:40:29,325
-(both laughing)
- I'll read it.
825
00:40:29,428 --> 00:40:32,962
TSOUKALOS: The way you prove
826
00:40:33,064 --> 00:40:34,798
the ancient astronaut theory
827
00:40:34,900 --> 00:40:37,667
is not with one single piece
of evidence.
828
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:41,704
It is a conglomeration
of different puzzle pieces,
829
00:40:41,807 --> 00:40:46,643
and Sardinia-- you have
structures that are incredible,
830
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:49,879
you have the stories of giants,
831
00:40:49,981 --> 00:40:54,050
and you have these statues
that look like giants.
832
00:40:54,152 --> 00:40:56,853
And you have to wonder,
is it possible
833
00:40:56,955 --> 00:40:59,255
that Sardinia, at some point,
834
00:40:59,357 --> 00:41:01,691
was visited
by extraterrestrials?
835
00:41:01,793 --> 00:41:05,662
LAGINA: Am I sold on it?
Absolutely not.
836
00:41:05,764 --> 00:41:07,931
But would I dismiss it
out of hand?
837
00:41:08,033 --> 00:41:10,700
No, because I think
that would be
838
00:41:10,802 --> 00:41:12,836
probably just as bad an error.
839
00:41:12,938 --> 00:41:16,773
We don't know what happened
everywhere on this planet.
840
00:41:16,875 --> 00:41:19,275
And another thing is
we don't know
841
00:41:19,377 --> 00:41:21,244
whether we're alone
in this universe.
842
00:41:21,346 --> 00:41:24,247
It seems to me unlikely.
843
00:41:24,349 --> 00:41:26,950
NARRATOR: Perhaps somewhere,
844
00:41:27,052 --> 00:41:29,853
deep beneath the ancient ruins
of Sardinia,
845
00:41:29,955 --> 00:41:32,922
lie the remains
of a race of ancient beings,
846
00:41:33,024 --> 00:41:37,393
part man, part extraterrestrial.
847
00:41:37,496 --> 00:41:40,930
And if physical evidence
is ever found,
848
00:41:41,032 --> 00:41:43,867
will it tell us about
humankind's incredible past,
849
00:41:43,969 --> 00:41:47,237
or will it reveal our future?
850
00:41:47,339 --> 00:41:50,974
A future where we will return
to the very stars
851
00:41:51,076 --> 00:41:55,278
we may have come from
thousands of years ago?
852
