1
00:00:03,237 --> 00:00:05,371
This gigantic
pyramid in Antarctica
2
00:00:05,473 --> 00:00:08,207
would be the oldest
pyramid on our planet.
3
00:00:08,309 --> 00:00:10,909
It's possible
that underneath the ice
4
00:00:11,012 --> 00:00:15,247
will be keys for us
to reclaim our ancient past.
5
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:17,416
The Nazis were
particularly interested
6
00:00:17,518 --> 00:00:19,218
in Antarctica.
7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,587
Saucers were
coming up out of the water
8
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:24,523
and were shooting them
with some sort of beam,
9
00:00:24,625 --> 00:00:26,158
literally cutting ships in half.
10
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:28,360
Antarctica
may hold lost remnants
11
00:00:28,462 --> 00:00:30,362
of an extraterrestrial
civilization
12
00:00:30,464 --> 00:00:35,167
that existed there, thousands
and thousands of years ago.
13
00:00:35,269 --> 00:00:38,637
Since the dawn of civilization,
14
00:00:38,739 --> 00:00:42,674
mankind has credited
its origins to gods
15
00:00:42,777 --> 00:00:45,611
and other visitors
from the stars.
16
00:00:45,713 --> 00:00:47,713
What if it were true?
17
00:00:47,815 --> 00:00:50,816
Did extraterrestrial beings
18
00:00:50,918 --> 00:00:54,119
really help
to shape our history?
19
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:57,923
And if so, might
the ultimate proof be found
20
00:00:58,025 --> 00:01:02,394
when we uncover the pyramids
of Antarctica?
21
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:38,430
Stretching over
five million square miles,
22
00:01:38,532 --> 00:01:41,400
across the southernmost
reaches of the Earth,
23
00:01:41,502 --> 00:01:46,371
lies the coldest and most
isolated continent in the world,
24
00:01:46,474 --> 00:01:48,774
Antarctica.
25
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:53,078
Because of its hostile climate,
26
00:01:53,180 --> 00:01:55,781
including average
daily temperatures
27
00:01:55,883 --> 00:01:58,183
of minus 49 degrees Fahrenheit
28
00:01:58,285 --> 00:02:02,154
and wind speeds of
over 200 miles per hour,
29
00:02:02,256 --> 00:02:05,691
Antarctica remains
largely untouched
30
00:02:05,793 --> 00:02:07,826
by mankind.
31
00:02:07,928 --> 00:02:10,462
According to historical records,
32
00:02:10,564 --> 00:02:13,866
modern man did not even
set foot on the continent
33
00:02:13,968 --> 00:02:16,568
until 1853,
34
00:02:16,670 --> 00:02:20,272
when ship captain
Mercator Cooper landed
35
00:02:20,374 --> 00:02:21,874
on what is now known as
36
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:25,144
the Oates Coast
of Victoria Land.
37
00:02:25,246 --> 00:02:29,848
Today, anywhere from
1,000 to 5,000 people
38
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:34,386
reside at the research stations
scattered across the continent,
39
00:02:34,455 --> 00:02:37,422
braving the extreme conditions
in hopes of learning more
40
00:02:37,525 --> 00:02:40,325
about this mysterious landscape.
41
00:02:44,465 --> 00:02:46,765
The thing about Antarctica
42
00:02:46,867 --> 00:02:50,369
is that as much as 98% of it
43
00:02:50,471 --> 00:02:52,371
is covered in ice.
44
00:02:52,473 --> 00:02:55,073
And just occasionally,
45
00:02:55,176 --> 00:02:57,309
there are little areas
that stick out...
46
00:02:57,411 --> 00:03:00,179
mountaintops, ridges, peaks.
47
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:03,949
Antarctica is the least explored
48
00:03:04,051 --> 00:03:05,517
of the continents.
49
00:03:05,619 --> 00:03:06,752
Even the North Pole,
which is just ice,
50
00:03:06,854 --> 00:03:08,520
has been explored more.
51
00:03:08,589 --> 00:03:10,489
It is a mystery, and it's
right here on the Earth.
52
00:03:10,558 --> 00:03:13,892
It's perhaps the last big
unexplored part
53
00:03:13,994 --> 00:03:15,827
of our home planet.
54
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:19,731
Antarctica
is a vast, frozen world
55
00:03:19,833 --> 00:03:23,468
and we know
very little about it.
56
00:03:23,571 --> 00:03:25,671
And, in fact,
the ice in Antarctica
57
00:03:25,773 --> 00:03:28,840
is up to three miles thick
in certain places.
58
00:03:28,943 --> 00:03:31,109
And what's beneath the ice
59
00:03:31,178 --> 00:03:34,179
is still largely a mystery
to scientists.
60
00:03:34,281 --> 00:03:36,415
You just have to imagine this.
61
00:03:36,517 --> 00:03:38,750
The Sears Tower is a little less
62
00:03:38,852 --> 00:03:41,153
under a third of a mile tall,
63
00:03:41,255 --> 00:03:43,622
so you have to imagine
that you can stack
64
00:03:43,724 --> 00:03:46,458
nine Sears Towers
on top of each other
65
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,493
and they would still
not peek out
66
00:03:48,596 --> 00:03:50,529
from that ice sheet.
67
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:54,466
Most geologists believe
68
00:03:54,568 --> 00:03:57,236
Antarctica has been
completely frozen
69
00:03:57,338 --> 00:04:00,906
and uninhabited
for over 12 million years.
70
00:04:01,008 --> 00:04:04,209
But in 2012, new photographs
71
00:04:04,311 --> 00:04:06,645
revealed formations
in the landscape
72
00:04:06,747 --> 00:04:09,014
that challenge this notion:
73
00:04:09,116 --> 00:04:12,117
Mysterious pyramid structures
74
00:04:12,219 --> 00:04:15,387
emerging from
the now-melting ice.
75
00:04:16,857 --> 00:04:20,759
Recently there have been
a number of reports
76
00:04:20,861 --> 00:04:24,763
of pyramids being found
on Antarctica.
77
00:04:24,865 --> 00:04:28,700
There are various photographs
78
00:04:28,802 --> 00:04:30,402
that show what appear to be
79
00:04:30,504 --> 00:04:33,105
perfect four-sided pyramids,
80
00:04:33,207 --> 00:04:38,877
very similar in design
to those at Giza, Egypt,
81
00:04:38,979 --> 00:04:40,946
and perhaps other places
around the world.
82
00:04:44,084 --> 00:04:45,884
While the photos
were explained away
83
00:04:45,986 --> 00:04:48,353
by mainstream scientists
84
00:04:48,455 --> 00:04:51,623
as nothing more than natural
land formations...
85
00:04:51,725 --> 00:04:55,360
satellite imagery analysts
like Joseph White
86
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,729
are not entirely convinced.
87
00:04:57,831 --> 00:05:00,265
In March of 2013,
88
00:05:00,367 --> 00:05:03,101
he uncovered
what he believes is evidence
89
00:05:03,170 --> 00:05:06,538
of yet another pyramid,
located just south
90
00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:10,575
of Antarctica's remote
Shackleton mountain range.
91
00:05:10,678 --> 00:05:12,711
I initially found the structure
92
00:05:12,813 --> 00:05:14,746
whilst looking on Google Earth.
I was in fact looking
93
00:05:14,848 --> 00:05:17,115
at some of the ra-rather strange
blank spots that you get
94
00:05:17,217 --> 00:05:20,719
in Antarctica, when I stumbled
on... upon this very large
95
00:05:20,821 --> 00:05:24,323
square structure which seems
to be some kind of building
96
00:05:24,425 --> 00:05:26,992
or perhaps even a pyramid,
but certainly,
97
00:05:27,094 --> 00:05:28,593
very large and very square.
98
00:05:28,696 --> 00:05:31,129
It actually lines up perfectly
with the coordinates
99
00:05:31,231 --> 00:05:34,466
of the compass: north,
south, east and west.
100
00:05:34,568 --> 00:05:37,636
And, uh, this dictates to me
that it's probably
101
00:05:37,738 --> 00:05:40,272
an intelligent structure,
because, uh, random structures,
102
00:05:40,374 --> 00:05:43,608
like mountains,
are not aligned to the compass.
103
00:05:43,711 --> 00:05:45,977
And another way we know
that, uh, a structure
104
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,347
is not naturally occurring
105
00:05:48,449 --> 00:05:49,915
is generally
to look for symmetry...
106
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:53,118
things like right angles
and equilateral triangles
107
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:57,055
and shapes that you would not
normally find in nature.
108
00:05:57,157 --> 00:05:58,990
This structure is-is exactly,
109
00:05:59,093 --> 00:06:00,959
uh, two kilometers square.
110
00:06:01,061 --> 00:06:03,929
And, uh, this corner
to this corner
111
00:06:04,031 --> 00:06:06,064
is two kilometers
and this corner to this corner
112
00:06:06,166 --> 00:06:08,200
is also exactly two kilometers,
113
00:06:08,302 --> 00:06:11,069
which would make this
more than double the size
114
00:06:11,171 --> 00:06:13,672
of any pyramid
thus far found on Earth.
115
00:06:15,776 --> 00:06:17,476
While it may seem unthinkable
116
00:06:17,578 --> 00:06:20,679
that pyramids
could exist in Antarctica,
117
00:06:20,781 --> 00:06:24,116
in recent years, archaeologists
have found pyramids
118
00:06:24,218 --> 00:06:26,151
all over the world
119
00:06:26,253 --> 00:06:28,854
that had been lost
for centuries,
120
00:06:28,956 --> 00:06:31,356
mistaken as natural formations
121
00:06:31,458 --> 00:06:35,127
or hidden
in the most unlikely places.
122
00:06:35,229 --> 00:06:36,862
They have been discovered
123
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:39,698
in the plains of northern Peru;
124
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,769
buried beneath dirt
and rubble in Indonesia;
125
00:06:43,871 --> 00:06:45,771
and one may even exist
126
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,073
in Los Angeles, California.
127
00:06:48,175 --> 00:06:50,175
All the way round the world
128
00:06:50,277 --> 00:06:53,278
we find evidence
of pyramid structures.
129
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:57,315
We should start
looking at the possibility
130
00:06:57,384 --> 00:07:01,086
that there was habitation
on Antarctica.
131
00:07:01,188 --> 00:07:05,123
Was it a lost civilization?
132
00:07:05,225 --> 00:07:07,859
Could it be ancient astronauts?
133
00:07:07,961 --> 00:07:10,662
And just maybe
134
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:13,565
the earliest monuments
of our own civilization
135
00:07:13,667 --> 00:07:16,902
came originally from Antarctica.
136
00:07:17,004 --> 00:07:20,539
If this gigantic
pyramid in Antarctica
137
00:07:20,641 --> 00:07:23,575
is an artificial structure,
138
00:07:23,677 --> 00:07:27,546
it would probably be the oldest
pyramid on our planet.
139
00:07:27,648 --> 00:07:30,515
And, in fact, it might be
the master pyramid
140
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,918
that all the other pyramids
141
00:07:33,020 --> 00:07:35,053
on planet Earth were designed,
142
00:07:35,155 --> 00:07:37,189
uh, to-to look like.
143
00:07:37,291 --> 00:07:40,325
There has been
extensive research done
144
00:07:40,427 --> 00:07:42,661
on pyramids
throughout the world,
145
00:07:42,763 --> 00:07:46,064
in terms of their structure and
what it is that they really are.
146
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:49,734
And one of the theories is that
pyramids are power generators.
147
00:07:49,837 --> 00:07:53,572
And so, if you have these
pyramids strategically placed
148
00:07:53,674 --> 00:07:56,074
around the world,
generating this charge,
149
00:07:56,143 --> 00:07:58,143
it's possible to create
150
00:07:58,245 --> 00:08:01,146
a general standing wave
around the world
151
00:08:01,248 --> 00:08:03,181
that is basically a wireless
152
00:08:03,283 --> 00:08:06,585
transmission of energy.
153
00:08:06,687 --> 00:08:10,555
It's been theorized
that ancient ships,
154
00:08:10,657 --> 00:08:13,792
extraterrestrials
and those with high technology
155
00:08:13,861 --> 00:08:16,294
could use this interconnected
156
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:19,130
wireless energy system
157
00:08:19,233 --> 00:08:21,900
to navigate around the planet
158
00:08:21,969 --> 00:08:24,669
and it makes sense that,
159
00:08:24,771 --> 00:08:28,540
if there was
some kind of worldwide
160
00:08:28,642 --> 00:08:34,145
pyramid power grid like
this, that Antarctica
162
00:08:34,248 --> 00:08:37,682
would have pyramids as well.
163
00:08:37,784 --> 00:08:41,319
The whole idea
of these pyramidal structures...
164
00:08:41,421 --> 00:08:43,922
where did it come from?
165
00:08:43,991 --> 00:08:45,991
'Cause it's not
an arbitrary thing.
166
00:08:46,093 --> 00:08:48,326
And these structures,
they exist worldwide.
167
00:08:48,428 --> 00:08:50,929
So, you know, what was the
impetus?
168
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:52,297
What's the origin?
169
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:54,733
And, even more fascinating,
170
00:08:54,835 --> 00:08:56,268
did they originate
171
00:08:56,370 --> 00:08:58,703
on the Antarctic continent?
172
00:09:01,875 --> 00:09:03,842
Might the pyramid
173
00:09:03,944 --> 00:09:06,011
Joseph White claims
to have discovered
174
00:09:06,079 --> 00:09:07,913
near the Shackleton
Mountain Range
175
00:09:08,015 --> 00:09:10,382
and other
pyramid-shaped formations
176
00:09:10,484 --> 00:09:13,285
recently photographed
in Antarctica
177
00:09:13,387 --> 00:09:16,955
provide evidence
of extraterrestrial visitation
178
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:19,457
to our planet
in the remote past?
179
00:09:21,194 --> 00:09:23,929
And if they are actually
man-made structures,
180
00:09:24,031 --> 00:09:26,698
how is such a thing
even possible
181
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,801
in a place that has been buried
beneath the ice
182
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:32,671
for over 12 million years?
183
00:09:32,773 --> 00:09:35,874
According
to ancient astronaut theorists,
184
00:09:35,976 --> 00:09:39,411
Antarctica may not have been
a frozen continent
185
00:09:39,513 --> 00:09:44,282
for as long as mainstream
scientists suggest.
186
00:09:44,384 --> 00:09:47,319
And they say proof can be found
187
00:09:47,387 --> 00:09:52,290
by examining a 500-year-old map
depicting the continent...
188
00:09:52,392 --> 00:09:54,759
without any ice.
189
00:10:01,377 --> 00:10:05,045
Siberia, 2013.
190
00:10:05,114 --> 00:10:07,748
A wooly mammoth is discovered
191
00:10:07,850 --> 00:10:10,351
flash frozen in the glacial ice,
192
00:10:10,453 --> 00:10:12,386
engulfed so quickly
193
00:10:12,488 --> 00:10:17,224
that its blood and muscle tissue
are perfectly preserved.
194
00:10:17,293 --> 00:10:19,827
It is just one of dozens
195
00:10:19,929 --> 00:10:22,663
that have been found
within the Siberian ice
196
00:10:22,765 --> 00:10:25,566
since the turn
of the 20th century.
197
00:10:25,668 --> 00:10:29,303
Many seemingly caught
in suspended animation,
198
00:10:29,372 --> 00:10:31,438
some with food in their mouths
199
00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:34,341
and vegetation in their stomachs
200
00:10:34,443 --> 00:10:37,478
that would only grow
in a much warmer climate.
201
00:10:37,546 --> 00:10:39,179
The discovery
of a woolly mammoth
202
00:10:39,281 --> 00:10:40,814
that was flash frozen
203
00:10:40,916 --> 00:10:43,250
raises some interesting
scientific questions.
204
00:10:43,352 --> 00:10:46,086
Did something happen very
locally to the woolly mammoth
205
00:10:46,188 --> 00:10:47,821
that it froze very fast?
206
00:10:47,923 --> 00:10:49,723
But it does also
raise the question
207
00:10:49,792 --> 00:10:51,759
of how quickly can climate
really change.
208
00:10:51,827 --> 00:10:54,461
And does it take some sort
of cataclysm?
209
00:10:54,563 --> 00:10:56,830
One that's sudden
and unexpected?
210
00:11:01,203 --> 00:11:03,804
In 1958,
211
00:11:03,906 --> 00:11:07,074
Charles Hapgood,
a Harvard-educated scientist,
212
00:11:07,176 --> 00:11:11,912
published the book,
Earth's Shifting Crust.
213
00:11:12,014 --> 00:11:16,517
In it, he proposed that portions
of the Earth's crust
214
00:11:16,619 --> 00:11:19,053
experienced violent
and sudden shifts
215
00:11:19,155 --> 00:11:21,822
during Earth's
geological history.
216
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,327
His theory,
known as Crustal Displacement,
217
00:11:27,430 --> 00:11:29,229
posited that both Siberia
218
00:11:29,331 --> 00:11:32,433
and the continent
of Antarctica were located
219
00:11:32,468 --> 00:11:34,435
in slightly more
temperate climates
220
00:11:34,537 --> 00:11:36,870
prior to the end
of the last Ice Age,
221
00:11:36,972 --> 00:11:40,207
approximately 12,000 years ago.
222
00:11:40,276 --> 00:11:44,411
But then, some unknown
catastrophe plunged them
223
00:11:44,513 --> 00:11:46,180
into their current positions.
224
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,520
Professor Hapgood
came up with the idea
225
00:11:53,622 --> 00:11:57,391
that the previous
North Pole position had been
226
00:11:57,460 --> 00:11:59,493
in the area of the Hudson Bay.
227
00:11:59,595 --> 00:12:02,896
And then it shifted
to where the pole is today.
228
00:12:05,167 --> 00:12:07,401
And at the southern pole,
he believes
229
00:12:07,503 --> 00:12:09,870
that the area of Antarctica
230
00:12:09,972 --> 00:12:14,541
had previously also experienced
a temperate climate,
231
00:12:14,610 --> 00:12:16,877
and that this was
suddenly now thrust...
232
00:12:16,979 --> 00:12:23,016
into this deep ice and
this harsh, freezing climate.
233
00:12:23,085 --> 00:12:24,585
He believed the last time
234
00:12:24,687 --> 00:12:26,720
that this had actually
taken place
235
00:12:26,789 --> 00:12:32,326
was approximately
12,000 years ago.
236
00:12:32,428 --> 00:12:34,294
When we think about
Earth crust displacement theory
237
00:12:34,396 --> 00:12:36,130
and plate tectonics,
238
00:12:36,232 --> 00:12:40,067
you want to think of the crust
basically floating on the magna
239
00:12:40,169 --> 00:12:43,337
and being able to shift
and move around on top of it.
240
00:12:43,405 --> 00:12:45,506
The Earth's crust
is not one solid piece.
241
00:12:45,574 --> 00:12:48,509
We know it's made
of individual pieces.
242
00:12:48,611 --> 00:12:50,711
So, you could look and see
243
00:12:50,779 --> 00:12:52,846
how the continents probably
used to fit together
244
00:12:52,948 --> 00:12:55,382
and where they've moved,
and how they move apart
245
00:12:55,417 --> 00:12:57,151
over a long period of time.
246
00:12:57,219 --> 00:12:59,686
But the question is, you know,
would something the size
247
00:12:59,788 --> 00:13:02,089
of Antarctica shift suddenly,
or is that too big?
248
00:13:02,158 --> 00:13:05,959
These crustal shifts,
according to Hapgood,
249
00:13:06,028 --> 00:13:08,629
actually could happen
over a period of even days.
250
00:13:08,731 --> 00:13:12,099
And so, if you had
a thriving civilization,
251
00:13:12,201 --> 00:13:15,802
this crustal displacement could
have hit it very, very quickly,
252
00:13:15,871 --> 00:13:18,639
and so, it could have
actually been frozen
253
00:13:18,741 --> 00:13:21,308
over a very short period
of time.
254
00:13:23,379 --> 00:13:25,679
Although
Hapgood's theory of sudden,
255
00:13:25,748 --> 00:13:28,415
large-scale shifts
of the Earth's crust
256
00:13:28,517 --> 00:13:30,450
was not widely accepted,
257
00:13:30,519 --> 00:13:33,020
renowned physicist
Albert Einstein
258
00:13:33,122 --> 00:13:34,888
was "electrified" by it,
259
00:13:34,957 --> 00:13:39,560
and even wrote the foreword
of Hapgood's book.
260
00:13:39,662 --> 00:13:42,496
Hapgood would also find
additional support
261
00:13:42,598 --> 00:13:45,365
for his theory when, in 1960,
262
00:13:45,401 --> 00:13:48,702
while combing through the
Library of Congress archives,
263
00:13:48,771 --> 00:13:53,340
he unearthed an unusual map,
published in 1531.
264
00:13:53,409 --> 00:13:55,676
The map, credited
265
00:13:55,778 --> 00:13:59,846
to mathematician and
cartographer Oronteus Finaeus
266
00:13:59,915 --> 00:14:02,749
appears to depict
an ice-free continent
267
00:14:02,851 --> 00:14:07,821
remarkably similar
to today's maps of Antarctica.
268
00:14:07,923 --> 00:14:12,125
It was not until as late as 1820
269
00:14:12,228 --> 00:14:17,197
that we had any real idea
of what Antarctica looked like.
270
00:14:17,299 --> 00:14:21,568
Yet, here, on the Oronteus
Finaeus map from 1531,
271
00:14:21,670 --> 00:14:23,537
here was Antarctica.
272
00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:25,906
How the hell is it possible
273
00:14:26,008 --> 00:14:30,944
that it could appear
on this map?
274
00:14:31,046 --> 00:14:33,013
Researchers are baffled
275
00:14:33,115 --> 00:14:35,182
as to how
the Oronteus Finaeus map
276
00:14:35,284 --> 00:14:37,017
could include a continent
277
00:14:37,119 --> 00:14:41,054
that was not discovered
until over 300 years later,
278
00:14:41,123 --> 00:14:43,023
and are even more perplexed
279
00:14:43,125 --> 00:14:48,128
by the fact that it depicts
Antarctica free of ice.
280
00:14:48,197 --> 00:14:53,066
If explorers somehow discovered
Antarctica in the 1500s,
281
00:14:53,168 --> 00:14:56,336
it would have been
completely frozen over.
282
00:14:56,438 --> 00:15:00,240
Remarkably,
the Finaeus map shows not only
283
00:15:00,309 --> 00:15:03,043
a detailed coastline
free of ice,
284
00:15:03,112 --> 00:15:05,145
but the entire continent,
285
00:15:05,214 --> 00:15:08,282
including interior features
such as rivers,
286
00:15:08,384 --> 00:15:12,619
valleys and mountains.
287
00:15:12,721 --> 00:15:16,056
The map shows mountain ranges
288
00:15:16,158 --> 00:15:19,459
that have rivers coming out
of the mountain ranges.
289
00:15:19,561 --> 00:15:21,561
How could that be?
290
00:15:21,664 --> 00:15:24,064
It's frozen. It's ice.
291
00:15:24,133 --> 00:15:28,035
There's a NASA image of
the continent of Antarctica
292
00:15:28,103 --> 00:15:31,371
using radar so that
mountain ranges come through
293
00:15:31,473 --> 00:15:33,440
and can be seen.
294
00:15:33,542 --> 00:15:38,478
And you can see a mountain range
on one photograph,
295
00:15:38,547 --> 00:15:41,315
and on the Oronteus Finaeus map,
it's right there, too.
296
00:15:41,383 --> 00:15:43,383
It's the same mountain range.
297
00:15:45,988 --> 00:15:47,854
According to climatologists,
298
00:15:47,923 --> 00:15:50,691
the estimates of when this
feature would have been free
299
00:15:50,793 --> 00:15:55,495
from ice cover was
at least 6,000 years ago.
300
00:15:55,597 --> 00:15:59,800
So how is it possible
that this map exists?
301
00:15:59,902 --> 00:16:02,736
Did Finaeus have access
to an older map?
302
00:16:02,838 --> 00:16:05,472
One dating back
thousands of years?
303
00:16:07,643 --> 00:16:11,244
Perhaps more confounding,
U.S. Air Force cartographers
304
00:16:11,347 --> 00:16:15,115
that were sent the maps
in the 1960s
305
00:16:15,184 --> 00:16:17,484
concluded that they were drawn
306
00:16:17,553 --> 00:16:19,753
using advanced
spherical trigonometry
307
00:16:19,822 --> 00:16:22,789
with remarkable precision,
especially when considering
308
00:16:22,891 --> 00:16:25,692
the maps were made
hundreds of years ago.
309
00:16:25,728 --> 00:16:28,061
The fact
that we find something that's
310
00:16:28,163 --> 00:16:30,864
a reference to modern-day
technology on a map
311
00:16:30,966 --> 00:16:33,300
that dates back
to the 16th century,
312
00:16:33,369 --> 00:16:36,136
makes me think: is it possible
313
00:16:36,238 --> 00:16:40,507
that some type of advanced radar
technology was used?
314
00:16:40,609 --> 00:16:43,477
Because in order
to produce a map
315
00:16:43,545 --> 00:16:46,613
that would outline
the areas we see,
316
00:16:46,715 --> 00:16:51,084
you would have to be
at an altitude of 80 miles.
317
00:16:51,186 --> 00:16:54,221
So, how was that possible?
318
00:16:54,323 --> 00:16:59,393
Could it be that the basis
for these maps was gleaned
319
00:16:59,495 --> 00:17:02,896
from maps that were cartographed
320
00:17:02,998 --> 00:17:05,699
by extraterrestrial
land surveyors?
321
00:17:07,336 --> 00:17:10,203
The implications of all this...
322
00:17:10,305 --> 00:17:14,674
and if you now are able
to add things like pyramids...
323
00:17:14,777 --> 00:17:18,044
this would really indicate
that there was some kind
324
00:17:18,147 --> 00:17:20,380
of ancient civilization
in Antarctica.
325
00:17:20,482 --> 00:17:23,417
And that it would have been over
12,000 years ago.
326
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:27,988
And you've got to wonder what
kind of civilization this was.
327
00:17:28,056 --> 00:17:31,158
Is it possible
that it was extraterrestrials?
328
00:17:33,061 --> 00:17:35,429
Could Antarctica
have been inhabited
329
00:17:35,531 --> 00:17:39,099
by extraterrestrials
in the distant past?
330
00:17:39,201 --> 00:17:40,967
Did they study this continent
331
00:17:41,069 --> 00:17:43,603
and leave behind
detailed information
332
00:17:43,705 --> 00:17:46,339
about its landscape?
333
00:17:46,408 --> 00:17:52,245
If so, just what happened
to these otherworldly visitors?
334
00:17:52,347 --> 00:17:55,081
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
335
00:17:55,150 --> 00:17:58,718
more clues can be found
in Egyptian stories
336
00:17:58,787 --> 00:18:03,223
describing
an Earth-altering catastrophe.
337
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:15,192
Edfu, Egypt.
338
00:18:15,228 --> 00:18:17,995
Located on the western bank
of the Nile,
339
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,965
the Temple of Edfu
is one of the largest
340
00:18:21,034 --> 00:18:24,602
and most well preserved temples
of the ancient kingdom,
341
00:18:24,671 --> 00:18:30,107
dating back to 237 BC.
342
00:18:30,209 --> 00:18:33,311
The Edfu Temple
is of tremendous importance.
343
00:18:33,413 --> 00:18:37,214
As you enter the temple, it's
like you're going inside a book.
344
00:18:37,317 --> 00:18:38,716
It's literally full of texts...
345
00:18:38,818 --> 00:18:40,451
every wall, every column,
346
00:18:40,553 --> 00:18:44,121
every room, every chamber
is filled with text.
347
00:18:44,223 --> 00:18:46,791
They're known collectively
as the Edfu Texts.
348
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:49,327
What is very interesting is that
349
00:18:49,395 --> 00:18:51,529
the majority of these texts
speak about the creation
350
00:18:51,631 --> 00:18:53,764
of the world.
351
00:18:57,036 --> 00:18:58,669
According to the texts,
352
00:18:58,771 --> 00:19:01,372
the Earth was created
by powerful gods
353
00:19:01,474 --> 00:19:03,774
who came down from the sky,
354
00:19:03,843 --> 00:19:07,745
and these gods first established
a place known
355
00:19:07,847 --> 00:19:11,782
as the Island of the Egg.
356
00:19:11,851 --> 00:19:14,018
Two gods,
357
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:19,957
they created an island in
the middle of the eternal lake.
358
00:19:20,026 --> 00:19:23,294
Creation started
with that island.
359
00:19:25,398 --> 00:19:27,698
The occupants
of this so-called primordial,
360
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,868
mythical world...
very strange creatures.
361
00:19:30,937 --> 00:19:33,471
There seems to be three groups
of people:
362
00:19:33,573 --> 00:19:36,741
one called the sages,
363
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:39,343
one called the builders,
364
00:19:39,445 --> 00:19:40,778
and the other called
the Shebtiu.
365
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,146
Nobody knows who they are.
366
00:19:42,248 --> 00:19:44,248
These are the ones
that are very mysterious
367
00:19:44,350 --> 00:19:48,285
because they are said
to emerge from the water.
368
00:19:48,388 --> 00:19:52,757
Then the Egyptians believed
a series of gods came
369
00:19:52,825 --> 00:19:55,893
and built the first temples.
370
00:19:55,995 --> 00:19:59,030
It says that here the first
temples were-were built,
371
00:19:59,098 --> 00:20:01,532
the first ones ever
in the world.
372
00:20:01,634 --> 00:20:04,368
And that these became
the blueprint
373
00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:08,239
for every temple in Egypt.
374
00:20:08,341 --> 00:20:11,242
Once all the creator gods
have done their job
375
00:20:11,344 --> 00:20:13,844
with creating the world,
376
00:20:13,913 --> 00:20:18,482
they would meet with their big
bird and ascend to the sky.
377
00:20:18,551 --> 00:20:22,720
Ancient Egyptians believed
with all their heart
378
00:20:22,822 --> 00:20:27,758
that everything listed
and inscribed on these walls
379
00:20:27,827 --> 00:20:32,463
are true, true, true.
380
00:20:32,532 --> 00:20:36,033
If the walls say there's an
island in the middle of nowhere
381
00:20:36,135 --> 00:20:39,804
where gods would go
and ascend to the sky,
382
00:20:39,906 --> 00:20:43,074
then ancient Egyptians,
the devoted ones,
383
00:20:43,142 --> 00:20:45,876
would believe
that island exists.
384
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,614
According to the Edfu Texts,
385
00:20:50,716 --> 00:20:53,884
not all of the occupants left.
386
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:55,820
And after many generations,
387
00:20:55,888 --> 00:20:58,889
the island suffered
a terrible fate.
388
00:21:01,527 --> 00:21:03,461
The texts are very different
389
00:21:03,529 --> 00:21:07,798
as to what happens to the
occupants, these strange gods.
390
00:21:07,900 --> 00:21:09,900
They seem to...
once they have set the scene,
391
00:21:10,002 --> 00:21:12,069
once they have built
the temples,
392
00:21:12,171 --> 00:21:16,774
they hand over their work
to the historical lineage,
393
00:21:16,876 --> 00:21:18,509
and then they depart.
394
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:20,644
We don't know where they go.
395
00:21:20,713 --> 00:21:22,546
There seems to be something
very interesting here.
396
00:21:22,615 --> 00:21:24,381
There seems to be a war
going on.
397
00:21:24,484 --> 00:21:26,717
The armies of these divinities
398
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:28,786
is led by this falcon god.
399
00:21:28,888 --> 00:21:33,524
And he battles a kind of enemy
represented by a snake.
400
00:21:33,626 --> 00:21:38,095
In the skies appeared what
was known as the enemy snake.
401
00:21:38,164 --> 00:21:41,532
It had a name. It was called
the Great Leaping One.
402
00:21:41,601 --> 00:21:43,968
It was said
that immediately it appeared,
403
00:21:44,070 --> 00:21:46,570
there was a time of darkness.
404
00:21:46,672 --> 00:21:48,906
And there were suddenly floods
405
00:21:48,975 --> 00:21:52,877
that destroyed
this sacred island.
406
00:21:52,979 --> 00:21:54,945
And when the waters receded,
407
00:21:55,047 --> 00:21:59,049
these original beings, who were
known as the Ancient Ones
408
00:21:59,152 --> 00:22:05,356
or the Elder Ones, were
now no longer there.
410
00:22:05,424 --> 00:22:08,959
Perhaps the Great Leaping One,
this enemy snake,
411
00:22:09,028 --> 00:22:12,263
was the memory of the comet
412
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:15,666
that entered
into our inner solar system,
413
00:22:15,768 --> 00:22:17,902
broke up,
414
00:22:17,970 --> 00:22:22,773
causing devastation
and destruction.
415
00:22:25,645 --> 00:22:28,712
Might the account
of this ancient catastrophe
416
00:22:28,781 --> 00:22:31,549
inscribed on the walls
of the Edfu Temple
417
00:22:31,651 --> 00:22:34,985
be describing a natural event?
418
00:22:35,054 --> 00:22:37,922
Or was it a deliberate attack,
419
00:22:38,024 --> 00:22:42,493
an attack targeting
an otherworldly civilization
420
00:22:42,595 --> 00:22:47,331
existing on what we now know
as the Antarctic continent?
421
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,633
We need to take a second look
422
00:22:49,735 --> 00:22:51,035
at the Edfu Texts and the story
423
00:22:51,137 --> 00:22:54,238
of the Island of the Egg because
424
00:22:54,307 --> 00:22:56,574
it's the source material
for Plato's story.
425
00:22:56,676 --> 00:23:00,411
In his story of Atlantis, he
gives a very important detail.
426
00:23:00,479 --> 00:23:04,048
He describes it
as an immense island
427
00:23:04,116 --> 00:23:08,118
the size of Libya
and North Africa combined.
428
00:23:08,221 --> 00:23:11,555
Now, the thing about it is,
is that there's only one island
429
00:23:11,657 --> 00:23:14,058
on the planet that's out
in the middle of the ocean
430
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:18,829
that matches that description,
and that's Antarctica.
431
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:25,035
Curiously,
the island continent depicted
432
00:23:25,137 --> 00:23:27,371
on the Oronteus Finaeus map
433
00:23:27,473 --> 00:23:29,673
reveals a shift
of the South Pole
434
00:23:29,742 --> 00:23:32,009
of seven and a half degrees,
435
00:23:32,111 --> 00:23:36,747
or nearly 1,000 miles
from what it is today.
436
00:23:36,849 --> 00:23:40,184
Might this shift corroborate
the accounts
437
00:23:40,286 --> 00:23:44,655
of a major catastrophic event
in the remote past?
438
00:23:44,757 --> 00:23:49,059
If so, could the creation myth
recorded at Edfu
439
00:23:49,161 --> 00:23:53,931
be describing something more
than mythology?
440
00:23:54,033 --> 00:23:57,234
The cataclysm which would have
shifted Antarctica,
441
00:23:57,303 --> 00:24:00,704
this would have destroyed
the civilization that was there.
442
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:02,873
And then, over time,
443
00:24:02,975 --> 00:24:05,609
whatever buildings and pyramids
that were there
444
00:24:05,711 --> 00:24:07,378
would be covered with ice.
445
00:24:08,914 --> 00:24:12,283
So the whole idea
that Antarctica is hiding,
446
00:24:12,385 --> 00:24:16,053
beneath its ice,
some ancient civilization
447
00:24:16,155 --> 00:24:18,856
is a very intriguing idea
448
00:24:18,924 --> 00:24:21,925
and one
that may very well be true.
449
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:27,197
Might there actually be evidence
450
00:24:27,300 --> 00:24:30,134
of an ancient extraterrestrial
civilization
451
00:24:30,202 --> 00:24:34,238
buried under the ice
of Antarctica?
452
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:38,075
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
453
00:24:38,177 --> 00:24:40,644
and believe
that this long history
454
00:24:40,746 --> 00:24:44,114
of an alien presence there
is precisely what brought
455
00:24:44,183 --> 00:24:47,918
another occupying force
to its frozen shores...
456
00:24:48,020 --> 00:24:51,705
the Nazis.
457
00:24:52,984 --> 00:24:54,717
Hamburg, Germany.
458
00:24:54,819 --> 00:24:58,154
December, 1938.
459
00:24:58,256 --> 00:25:01,690
Four years into Adolf Hitler's
reign as Fuhrer,
460
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:03,692
he is beginning to establish
461
00:25:03,761 --> 00:25:06,896
his total dictatorship
by taking direct control
462
00:25:06,998 --> 00:25:09,064
of the German military.
463
00:25:17,542 --> 00:25:20,442
But on the brink
of World War II,
464
00:25:20,545 --> 00:25:24,013
Hitler is also involved
in much stranger endeavors
465
00:25:24,115 --> 00:25:26,182
that are hidden to the public.
466
00:25:26,250 --> 00:25:28,217
He is committing
every remaining resource
467
00:25:28,319 --> 00:25:32,054
to searching for ancient relics
that he believes
468
00:25:32,156 --> 00:25:34,356
could hold incredible powers.
469
00:25:36,561 --> 00:25:38,160
On December 17,
470
00:25:38,229 --> 00:25:40,696
the German freighter
MS Schwabenland
471
00:25:40,798 --> 00:25:44,667
sets out on one
of these top secret missions.
472
00:25:44,769 --> 00:25:49,171
Its 33-member team is rumored
to include scientists,
473
00:25:49,273 --> 00:25:52,675
military experts,
construction crews,
474
00:25:52,777 --> 00:25:55,444
and key members
of the Thule Society,
475
00:25:55,546 --> 00:25:57,980
an elite group associated
with the Nazis
476
00:25:58,049 --> 00:26:01,951
that focused on mysticism
and the occult.
477
00:26:02,053 --> 00:26:06,956
32 days later, they arrive
at their destination,
478
00:26:07,058 --> 00:26:10,593
Antarctica.
479
00:26:10,695 --> 00:26:13,762
The Nazis themselves
were fascinated
480
00:26:13,865 --> 00:26:15,931
by ancient civilizations
481
00:26:16,033 --> 00:26:19,902
and legends
of vanished super races.
482
00:26:20,004 --> 00:26:24,173
They were searching for
this lost Arctic home
484
00:26:24,275 --> 00:26:26,709
that they thought that
the Aryans had come from.
485
00:26:26,811 --> 00:26:29,678
They were looking
all over the world,
486
00:26:29,780 --> 00:26:31,780
and that included Antarctica.
487
00:26:31,849 --> 00:26:34,917
The Thule Society
actually believed
488
00:26:35,019 --> 00:26:38,687
that they were mystics,
or channels, who were able
489
00:26:38,789 --> 00:26:40,556
to communicate with these beings
490
00:26:40,658 --> 00:26:43,492
who claimed to be either
extraterrestrial in origin
491
00:26:43,594 --> 00:26:46,061
or claimed to belong
to this, uh, civilization
492
00:26:46,163 --> 00:26:48,497
that lived in Earth's interior.
493
00:26:48,599 --> 00:26:51,133
They gave a lot of information
494
00:26:51,235 --> 00:26:54,136
about the building of advanced
aerospace vehicles,
495
00:26:54,238 --> 00:26:57,006
flying saucers,
and I think this is where,
496
00:26:57,108 --> 00:26:59,975
uh, Hitler's Nazi party
got a lot of its information
497
00:27:00,077 --> 00:27:01,777
about Antarctica...
498
00:27:01,879 --> 00:27:05,214
that, uh, in Antarctica there is
this ancient civilization,
499
00:27:05,316 --> 00:27:07,283
or bases where they could find
500
00:27:07,385 --> 00:27:10,119
a lot of these
advanced technologies.
501
00:27:12,857 --> 00:27:15,124
During their time in Antarctica,
502
00:27:15,226 --> 00:27:17,593
the Nazis were believed
to have mapped
503
00:27:17,695 --> 00:27:21,630
huge swaths
of the icy landscape by air.
504
00:27:21,732 --> 00:27:25,134
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe they also established
505
00:27:25,236 --> 00:27:27,836
an elaborate
underground headquarters
506
00:27:27,939 --> 00:27:31,507
known as Base 211.
507
00:27:31,609 --> 00:27:33,042
Hitler and the Nazis
508
00:27:33,144 --> 00:27:36,011
were particularly interested
in Antarctica.
509
00:27:36,113 --> 00:27:38,714
I think they really believed
that there were things going on
510
00:27:38,816 --> 00:27:40,549
deep under the ice.
511
00:27:40,651 --> 00:27:42,952
And there have always been
rumors that the Nazis,
512
00:27:43,054 --> 00:27:46,388
with their submarines,
have underwater caverns,
513
00:27:46,490 --> 00:27:49,625
small cities;
that they escaped there
514
00:27:49,727 --> 00:27:52,361
after World War II.
515
00:27:52,463 --> 00:27:55,230
When the Germans
got to Antarctica
516
00:27:55,333 --> 00:27:59,201
what they found
were massive cities
518
00:27:59,303 --> 00:28:01,804
that were highly technological.
519
00:28:01,906 --> 00:28:05,207
And these buildings
were not just on the surface...
520
00:28:05,309 --> 00:28:07,810
they went deep down underground.
521
00:28:07,912 --> 00:28:11,113
So, they began relocating
a massive amount of equipment
522
00:28:11,215 --> 00:28:14,049
and personnel to Antarctica,
523
00:28:14,151 --> 00:28:17,086
repressurizing
these ancient facilities
524
00:28:17,188 --> 00:28:19,188
and reoccupying them.
525
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,727
In 1946,
526
00:28:24,829 --> 00:28:28,230
one year after
the end of World War II,
527
00:28:28,332 --> 00:28:30,699
the U.S. government
launched its own
528
00:28:30,801 --> 00:28:33,535
large-scale mission
to Antarctica.
529
00:28:33,637 --> 00:28:37,306
Operation Highjump
deployed 4,700 troops,
530
00:28:37,408 --> 00:28:40,542
13 ships, an aircraft carrier,
531
00:28:40,644 --> 00:28:44,480
and a number of seaplanes
to Antarctica.
532
00:28:44,548 --> 00:28:47,316
Although the government
denied it at the time,
533
00:28:47,418 --> 00:28:49,918
it would later become known that
534
00:28:50,021 --> 00:28:52,821
one of the operation's
primary objectives was
535
00:28:52,923 --> 00:28:56,658
"extending the United States'
sovereignty over the largest
536
00:28:56,761 --> 00:29:00,396
practicable area
of the Antarctic continent."
537
00:29:02,299 --> 00:29:05,801
The U.S. Navy, then,
sent what was basically
538
00:29:05,903 --> 00:29:09,772
a flotilla of armed ships
to Antarctica.
539
00:29:09,874 --> 00:29:11,740
In Operation Highjump,
540
00:29:11,842 --> 00:29:14,610
there were stories
that were quite strange,
541
00:29:14,712 --> 00:29:17,246
that ultimately
came out of that expedition,
542
00:29:17,348 --> 00:29:19,181
which-which ended quite early.
543
00:29:19,283 --> 00:29:22,618
There were stories
of craft coming up
544
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,287
out of the water,
around the ships,
545
00:29:25,389 --> 00:29:28,357
and of flying saucer-type
vehicles.
546
00:29:28,459 --> 00:29:32,061
Saucers were coming up
out of the water,
547
00:29:32,163 --> 00:29:35,964
and were shooting them
with some sort of beam,
548
00:29:36,067 --> 00:29:38,200
literally cutting ships in half.
549
00:29:38,302 --> 00:29:40,903
They were shooting planes
out of the sky.
550
00:29:41,005 --> 00:29:42,805
And they traveled so fast,
551
00:29:42,907 --> 00:29:44,840
that it was almost impossible
552
00:29:44,942 --> 00:29:47,009
to visually reference
553
00:29:47,111 --> 00:29:49,144
where the disk was going.
554
00:29:49,246 --> 00:29:51,580
So, the American fleet
555
00:29:51,682 --> 00:29:54,650
had to limp back
to the United States,
556
00:29:54,752 --> 00:29:56,452
totally broken and destroyed.
557
00:29:57,788 --> 00:30:00,322
It's still a mystery,
all of the activities
559
00:30:00,424 --> 00:30:01,824
that were going on
in Antarctica.
560
00:30:01,926 --> 00:30:04,293
You have to wonder
if the American military,
561
00:30:04,395 --> 00:30:06,061
and other governments, too,
562
00:30:06,163 --> 00:30:08,497
are aware of structures
under the ice,
563
00:30:08,599 --> 00:30:12,301
of pyramids beneath the ice;
and perhaps they know
564
00:30:12,403 --> 00:30:15,671
that there's some kind
of ancient civilization
565
00:30:15,773 --> 00:30:18,807
frozen beneath the ice
of Antarctica.
566
00:30:21,445 --> 00:30:23,712
If, in fact,
the Nazis were seeking
567
00:30:23,814 --> 00:30:26,849
extraterrestrial technology
in Antarctica,
568
00:30:26,951 --> 00:30:30,486
is it possible that they
actually discovered it?
569
00:30:30,588 --> 00:30:33,655
And might the U.S. military
have encountered
570
00:30:33,757 --> 00:30:36,925
this powerful technology
years later,
571
00:30:36,994 --> 00:30:39,728
during Operation Highjump?
572
00:30:39,830 --> 00:30:42,297
Ancient astronaut
theorists believe
573
00:30:42,399 --> 00:30:46,168
that further proof of an
alien presence in Antarctica
574
00:30:46,270 --> 00:30:49,338
may be found
in a prehistoric lake
575
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,142
buried under two miles of ice.
576
00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:02,959
Lake Vostok, Antarctica.
577
00:31:05,330 --> 00:31:07,497
Buried under two miles of ice
578
00:31:07,566 --> 00:31:11,234
is a 4,800-square-mile
body of water.
579
00:31:11,336 --> 00:31:13,503
It is by far the largest
580
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:15,939
of the continent's
nearly 400 lakes
581
00:31:16,041 --> 00:31:19,109
that are entirely
covered by ice.
582
00:31:19,211 --> 00:31:21,712
In 2001,
583
00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:25,082
pilots collecting data here
recorded unusual
584
00:31:25,184 --> 00:31:28,485
and extreme irregularities
in the magnetic field
585
00:31:28,587 --> 00:31:31,221
at the southeastern corner
of the lake.
586
00:31:31,323 --> 00:31:37,160
Spanning a remarkable
65 by 46 miles,
588
00:31:37,262 --> 00:31:39,663
the anomalous area is producing
589
00:31:39,765 --> 00:31:43,533
an unusually high level
of magnetic energy.
590
00:31:43,635 --> 00:31:47,370
This anomaly was roughly,
uh, 50 miles in diameter
591
00:31:47,473 --> 00:31:49,873
and was something that would be
592
00:31:49,975 --> 00:31:52,909
commensurate with
the magnetic field
593
00:31:53,011 --> 00:31:55,011
being generated by a city.
594
00:31:57,216 --> 00:32:00,417
I have been
to Lake Vostok several times,
595
00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:02,452
as part of expedition research.
And when we were
596
00:32:02,554 --> 00:32:05,722
in the area, we did pick up
this magnetic anomaly.
597
00:32:05,824 --> 00:32:07,858
But we also found
other magnetic anomalies
598
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,559
which were actually
transitioning from
599
00:32:09,661 --> 00:32:11,394
one place to another.
They were moving.
600
00:32:11,463 --> 00:32:13,463
Highly rare
and extremely unusual.
601
00:32:13,532 --> 00:32:15,298
We weren't able
to determine what was
602
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,033
causing these anomalies.
603
00:32:18,837 --> 00:32:20,904
It's totally inexplicable.
604
00:32:21,006 --> 00:32:23,306
And of course,
this has given rise
605
00:32:23,408 --> 00:32:26,009
to theories that perhaps
606
00:32:26,111 --> 00:32:27,878
there is something else here.
607
00:32:27,980 --> 00:32:30,247
Perhaps it's a UFO...
608
00:32:30,349 --> 00:32:33,116
some kind of alien base;
perhaps even the remnants
609
00:32:33,218 --> 00:32:35,318
of a lost civilization.
610
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:37,821
And now the NSA themself
611
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:40,190
have almost put a blanket
612
00:32:40,292 --> 00:32:41,825
over any further research,
613
00:32:41,927 --> 00:32:44,861
and it's almost become
a no-go area.
614
00:32:46,198 --> 00:32:48,965
Vostok is not the only site
615
00:32:49,067 --> 00:32:51,368
with limited outside access.
616
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:53,436
Seven different countries
617
00:32:53,539 --> 00:32:56,072
have claimed territories
in Antarctica,
618
00:32:56,175 --> 00:32:59,309
yet it remains one of
the most restricted locations
619
00:32:59,411 --> 00:33:01,478
in the world.
620
00:33:01,547 --> 00:33:03,213
Currently, there are 68
621
00:33:03,315 --> 00:33:05,215
international bases here,
622
00:33:05,317 --> 00:33:07,250
many of which require permits
623
00:33:07,352 --> 00:33:09,586
or special permissions to visit.
624
00:33:09,688 --> 00:33:13,256
They are manned
not just with scientists
625
00:33:13,358 --> 00:33:15,492
but also military personnel.
626
00:33:15,594 --> 00:33:18,895
But why is it so restricted?
627
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,234
McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
628
00:33:24,336 --> 00:33:28,138
Located on a southern peninsula
of Ross Island,
629
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,142
this is the largest research
station on the continent.
630
00:33:32,244 --> 00:33:35,278
It was opened
by the U.S. government
631
00:33:35,380 --> 00:33:38,048
in 1956 and houses
632
00:33:38,150 --> 00:33:41,918
up to as many as 1,200
residents at a time.
633
00:33:43,388 --> 00:33:46,089
In January of 2015
634
00:33:46,191 --> 00:33:48,091
a U.S. Navy flight engineer,
635
00:33:48,193 --> 00:33:50,994
who served with the
Antarctic Development Squadron
636
00:33:51,063 --> 00:33:53,096
at McMurdo for 14 years,
637
00:33:53,165 --> 00:33:56,666
came forward to investigative
reporter Linda Moulton Howe
638
00:33:56,768 --> 00:34:00,203
with bizarre accounts
of his time in Antarctica.
639
00:34:00,305 --> 00:34:03,206
In January of 2015,
640
00:34:03,308 --> 00:34:06,343
I got an e-mail from a retired
641
00:34:06,445 --> 00:34:08,111
naval flight engineer.
642
00:34:08,213 --> 00:34:10,881
He's asked me to call him
only Brian
643
00:34:10,983 --> 00:34:13,083
in the world public.
644
00:34:13,185 --> 00:34:15,685
And this is what he told me:
645
00:34:15,787 --> 00:34:19,356
From about 1983,
to when he retired
646
00:34:19,458 --> 00:34:25,095
from the Navy in 1997,
he was in all kinds
648
00:34:25,197 --> 00:34:28,965
of what they call Antarctic
squadron expedition missions,
649
00:34:29,067 --> 00:34:31,534
that included rescuing people
650
00:34:31,637 --> 00:34:33,603
in and out of various places.
651
00:34:33,705 --> 00:34:38,108
In all these trips, nothing of
a high strangeness had occurred.
652
00:34:38,210 --> 00:34:41,111
And then, all of a sudden,
it was one thing after another.
653
00:34:41,213 --> 00:34:45,015
During a squadron mission
in the Transantarctic Mountains,
654
00:34:45,117 --> 00:34:50,420
the whole crew saw a whole bunch
of silver darting objects.
655
00:34:50,522 --> 00:34:52,589
And they are round.
656
00:34:52,658 --> 00:34:54,991
And he says they're doing
the strangest thing.
657
00:34:55,093 --> 00:34:58,061
They're going, like,
to this peak in a group,
658
00:34:58,163 --> 00:35:01,097
to this peak in a group,
to this peak in a group.
659
00:35:01,166 --> 00:35:03,300
And then they'd all take off.
660
00:35:03,402 --> 00:35:08,038
And not only did this happen
once, it happened over and over.
661
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:12,175
According to the informant,
this was just one
663
00:35:12,277 --> 00:35:14,277
of many strange mysteries
on the continent
664
00:35:14,379 --> 00:35:17,113
that he witnessed
during his time there.
665
00:35:17,215 --> 00:35:21,384
They get an assignment
not long after.
666
00:35:21,486 --> 00:35:23,119
There's a medical emergency.
667
00:35:23,221 --> 00:35:26,256
They are now under the gun,
the clock is ticking,
668
00:35:26,358 --> 00:35:28,391
and a decision was made:
669
00:35:28,493 --> 00:35:30,660
They're going o...
through the no-fly zone
670
00:35:30,729 --> 00:35:32,462
because
it's a medical emergency.
671
00:35:32,564 --> 00:35:34,631
And what do they see?
672
00:35:34,733 --> 00:35:41,004
In the ice, like, a
huge entrance to a cave
674
00:35:41,106 --> 00:35:44,240
but slanted going down.
And he said,
675
00:35:44,343 --> 00:35:47,043
"I think it was at least, Linda,
200 feet in diameter,
676
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,812
a big hole in the ice."
677
00:35:48,914 --> 00:35:52,215
And he said, "Our instruments
are not operating."
678
00:35:52,317 --> 00:35:55,251
"We were losing electricity.
We had magnetic anomalies.
679
00:35:55,354 --> 00:35:58,822
"And we concluded there's
something about this hole
680
00:35:58,924 --> 00:36:02,058
that is now causing
these problems."
681
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,296
They do their medical recovery.
682
00:36:06,398 --> 00:36:08,598
And the next thing they know,
683
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:13,069
they're all being chewed
out by men in suits
685
00:36:13,171 --> 00:36:16,673
that are not from McMurdo.
686
00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:19,342
They appear to be
from Washington, DC.
687
00:36:19,444 --> 00:36:20,844
And he-he said,
688
00:36:20,946 --> 00:36:23,747
"They told us
that we are never, ever
689
00:36:23,849 --> 00:36:26,282
"to fly over that hole.
690
00:36:26,385 --> 00:36:28,485
And we are never
to discuss it again."
691
00:36:28,587 --> 00:36:30,220
What is that about?
692
00:36:30,322 --> 00:36:32,288
And does that
have anything to do
693
00:36:32,391 --> 00:36:35,025
with all these other pieces
that keep emerging
694
00:36:35,127 --> 00:36:38,361
that there might be
something archaeological
695
00:36:38,463 --> 00:36:40,263
in Antarctica?
696
00:36:41,867 --> 00:36:44,167
According to
ancient astronaut theorists,
697
00:36:44,269 --> 00:36:47,670
this was not the first time
a massive hole has been spotted
698
00:36:47,773 --> 00:36:50,673
in the ice of Antarctica.
699
00:36:50,776 --> 00:36:52,509
Famous polar explorer.
700
00:36:52,611 --> 00:36:55,378
Admiral Richard Byrd
allegedly reported
702
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,448
seeing a massive entrance
to an underground world
703
00:36:58,550 --> 00:37:03,319
during his 1947 expedition
to the South Pole.
704
00:37:03,422 --> 00:37:07,223
Admiral Byrd made
a lot of unusual statements,
705
00:37:07,325 --> 00:37:11,728
allegedly talking about a large
opening at the South Pole,
706
00:37:11,830 --> 00:37:15,398
that went deep inside
the Earth, ice-free,
707
00:37:15,500 --> 00:37:22,038
and was inhabited by
various sorts of aliens.
709
00:37:22,140 --> 00:37:24,507
And when Byrd got back
to the United States,
710
00:37:24,609 --> 00:37:26,609
he was brought back
to Washington,
711
00:37:26,711 --> 00:37:30,246
where he was questioned very
heavily about his statements.
712
00:37:30,348 --> 00:37:35,151
And, allegedly, he was told
to stop talking about this.
713
00:37:35,253 --> 00:37:37,587
You have to wonder,
is the South Pole
714
00:37:37,689 --> 00:37:41,591
some kind
of extraterrestrial entry zone,
715
00:37:41,660 --> 00:37:44,527
some kind of portal
that's so important
716
00:37:44,629 --> 00:37:48,364
that it has to be controlled
by the military?
717
00:37:48,467 --> 00:37:52,068
Is the United States
government covering up
718
00:37:52,170 --> 00:37:55,772
an extraterrestrial presence
in Antarctica?
719
00:37:55,874 --> 00:38:00,210
And if so, could they be
the same otherworldly beings
720
00:38:00,312 --> 00:38:04,514
that once occupied the continent
thousands of years ago?
721
00:38:04,616 --> 00:38:06,816
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
722
00:38:06,918 --> 00:38:08,818
the truth may be revealed
723
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:13,189
when Antarctica's ice
finally disappears.
724
00:38:17,804 --> 00:38:20,471
East Antarctica.
725
00:38:20,573 --> 00:38:24,308
October, 2015.
726
00:38:24,411 --> 00:38:26,644
Scientists at NASA announce
727
00:38:26,746 --> 00:38:29,947
that despite years
of thinking otherwise,
728
00:38:30,050 --> 00:38:32,684
they are now finding
that the ice in this region
729
00:38:32,752 --> 00:38:34,686
is actually growing,
730
00:38:34,788 --> 00:38:38,322
averaging 82 billion tons
a year.
731
00:38:38,425 --> 00:38:42,527
Snowfall is currently adding ice
to most of the continent.
732
00:38:42,629 --> 00:38:46,931
But at the same time,
glaciers are rapidly melting
733
00:38:47,033 --> 00:38:50,768
along the coast
of Western Antarctica.
734
00:38:50,870 --> 00:38:54,639
Scientists calculate
that, since 2009,
735
00:38:54,741 --> 00:38:57,575
as much as 60 cubic kilometers
of ice,
736
00:38:57,677 --> 00:39:01,479
the equivalent of
70,000 Empire State Buildings,
737
00:39:01,581 --> 00:39:05,149
is disappearing into the ocean
each year.
738
00:39:05,251 --> 00:39:07,518
But why is the ice here melting,
739
00:39:07,620 --> 00:39:09,587
when it is growing
throughout much
740
00:39:09,689 --> 00:39:12,890
of the rest of the continent?
741
00:39:12,992 --> 00:39:17,228
We see the graphic
pictures on television
742
00:39:17,330 --> 00:39:21,966
of the ice caps melting
and falling into the sea.
743
00:39:22,035 --> 00:39:25,369
But it's actually only
in some areas
744
00:39:25,438 --> 00:39:28,206
that the ice caps
are actually melting.
745
00:39:28,308 --> 00:39:30,541
What's so strange is that,
746
00:39:30,643 --> 00:39:35,880
through various factors,
that the ice in Antarctica
747
00:39:35,982 --> 00:39:38,716
might actually be growing
and extending.
748
00:39:38,818 --> 00:39:41,886
This is very strange.
749
00:39:41,988 --> 00:39:44,288
We can't rule out
the possibility
750
00:39:44,390 --> 00:39:48,559
that, in certain cases,
there could be entire cities
751
00:39:48,661 --> 00:39:50,228
that are built underground
752
00:39:50,330 --> 00:39:52,296
that may even be
actively maintained
753
00:39:52,398 --> 00:39:54,031
by extraterrestrials now,
754
00:39:54,134 --> 00:39:56,534
and that as those cities
are powered up
755
00:39:56,636 --> 00:40:01,305
or expanded in size that they
are giving off some kind of heat
756
00:40:01,407 --> 00:40:05,810
and that heat, in turn,
is melting the ice above them.
757
00:40:05,912 --> 00:40:10,548
If there are things buried under
the miles of ice at Antarctica,
758
00:40:10,650 --> 00:40:12,784
then that would mean
that had to have happened
759
00:40:12,886 --> 00:40:14,752
before the last Ice Age.
760
00:40:14,854 --> 00:40:16,888
So who knows
what we'll find there?
761
00:40:16,990 --> 00:40:19,390
Remnants of a lost civilization,
762
00:40:19,492 --> 00:40:23,761
perhaps even tools with which
these civilizations were built.
763
00:40:25,732 --> 00:40:29,567
It's possible that underneath
the ice will be keys for us
764
00:40:29,669 --> 00:40:32,537
to actually save ourselves
765
00:40:32,639 --> 00:40:35,640
and reclaim our ancient past.
766
00:40:35,742 --> 00:40:38,075
We may end up in a situation
767
00:40:38,178 --> 00:40:40,478
where this can't
be covered up anymore,
768
00:40:40,580 --> 00:40:43,414
where visible ruins...
gigantic pyramids,
769
00:40:43,516 --> 00:40:44,982
gigantic obelisks...
770
00:40:45,084 --> 00:40:48,986
start to peek through the ice.
771
00:40:49,088 --> 00:40:51,088
And, at that point,
it's game over.
772
00:40:51,191 --> 00:40:53,591
No longer can this be swept
under the rug.
773
00:40:53,693 --> 00:40:57,595
There's no question that
under the ice of Antarctica
774
00:40:57,697 --> 00:41:00,097
there could be
extraterrestrial craft.
775
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,466
There could be cities
down there.
776
00:41:02,569 --> 00:41:04,402
Bottom line is,
777
00:41:04,504 --> 00:41:08,206
it will shock the entire
belief system of humankind.
778
00:41:08,308 --> 00:41:11,609
It will just change
everything we know.
779
00:41:11,711 --> 00:41:14,779
What really lies beneath
780
00:41:14,881 --> 00:41:17,682
the ice and snow in Antarctica?
781
00:41:17,784 --> 00:41:23,020
Was this frozen continent once
covered with lush vegetation,
782
00:41:23,122 --> 00:41:27,859
as well as pyramids
that predate those in Egypt?
783
00:41:27,961 --> 00:41:32,530
And if extraterrestrials
truly did inhabit Antarctica,
784
00:41:32,632 --> 00:41:34,866
could these
otherworldly visitors
785
00:41:34,968 --> 00:41:38,502
still be hiding out there today?
786
00:41:38,605 --> 00:41:41,138
Perhaps, one day soon,
787
00:41:41,241 --> 00:41:44,508
we will discover what the ice
of Antarctica
788
00:41:44,611 --> 00:41:47,144
has hidden
for thousands of years,
789
00:41:47,247 --> 00:41:50,848
and it will finally expose
the truth
790
00:41:50,984 --> 00:41:54,118
about our alien past.
