1
00:00:03,090 --> 00:00:05,353
of an otherworldly encounter.

2
00:00:05,396 --> 00:00:07,964
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
It is an eyewitness account.

3
00:00:08,008 --> 00:00:11,968
He was taken up and sees
planet Earth underneath him.

4
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,883
WILLIAM HENRY:
He is given powerful

5
00:00:13,926 --> 00:00:17,104
universal knowledge
by angelic beings.

6
00:00:17,147 --> 00:00:20,629
RABBI ARIEL BAR TZADOK:
These angels were not
spiritual beings.

7
00:00:20,672 --> 00:00:22,239
They were physical beings,

8
00:00:22,283 --> 00:00:24,894
whose role it is
to direct the affairs

9
00:00:24,937 --> 00:00:26,417
of humanity.

10
00:00:26,461 --> 00:00:28,376
NARRATOR:
It is an account

11
00:00:28,419 --> 00:00:30,421
that was strictly forbidden.

12
00:00:30,465 --> 00:00:33,381
TSOUKALOS:
These texts were deemed
too dangerous.

13
00:00:33,424 --> 00:00:35,078
NARRATOR:
And now, new technology

14
00:00:35,122 --> 00:00:38,995
may reveal
even more shocking revelations.

15
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:43,434
We are recovering burned texts,
which, there it is.

16
00:00:43,478 --> 00:00:44,609
TSOUKALOS:
Look at this.

17
00:00:44,653 --> 00:00:45,828
This is sensational.

18
00:00:46,916 --> 00:00:48,309
NARRATOR:
Could the Book of Enoch

19
00:00:48,352 --> 00:00:52,530
contain profound truths
about our extraterrestrial past?

20
00:00:52,574 --> 00:00:56,926
And might it even hold the key
to humanity's future?

21
00:00:56,969 --> 00:00:59,537
ERICH VON DANIKEN:
Enoch knew
that all these writings

22
00:00:59,581 --> 00:01:00,973
would be found
in the far future.

23
00:01:01,017 --> 00:01:05,587
And Enoch said,
"I will return to this planet."

24
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:10,157
NARRATOR:
There is a doorway

25
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,029
in the universe.

26
00:01:13,073 --> 00:01:16,076
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.

27
00:01:17,555 --> 00:01:19,731
It demands
we question everything

28
00:01:19,775 --> 00:01:22,038
we have ever been taught.

29
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:26,303
The evidence is all around us.

30
00:01:26,347 --> 00:01:29,785
The future is
right before our eyes.

31
00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:32,440
We are not alone.

32
00:01:32,483 --> 00:01:36,052
We have never been alone.

33
00:01:45,235 --> 00:01:48,151
NARRATOR:
The Tigray highlands, Ethiopia.

34
00:01:48,195 --> 00:01:51,894
Here, 7,000 feet above sea level

35
00:01:51,937 --> 00:01:54,157
and clinging
to the side of a mountain

36
00:01:54,201 --> 00:01:57,987
stands
the Abba Garima Monastery.

37
00:01:59,031 --> 00:02:00,642
This church is home

38
00:02:00,685 --> 00:02:02,818
to one of Christianity's
most ancient

39
00:02:02,861 --> 00:02:06,735
and spectacular treasures:
the Garima Gospels.

40
00:02:06,778 --> 00:02:10,869
Consisting of two beautifully
illustrated volumes,

41
00:02:10,913 --> 00:02:14,177
it has been dated
to the 6th century AD--

42
00:02:14,221 --> 00:02:18,660
making it one of the oldest and
most complete Bibles on Earth.

43
00:02:18,703 --> 00:02:24,013
JONATHAN YOUNG:
There is the very earliest
Christian churches in Ethiopia.

44
00:02:24,056 --> 00:02:26,015
So there is
this strong connection

45
00:02:26,058 --> 00:02:28,757
to the ancient roots
of Western civilization,

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,889
Western religion in Ethiopia.

47
00:02:31,934 --> 00:02:33,892
NARRATOR:
Ethiopia's biblical connections

48
00:02:33,936 --> 00:02:36,808
date back nearly 3,000 years.

49
00:02:36,852 --> 00:02:40,247
In the 10th century BC,
King Solomon,

50
00:02:40,290 --> 00:02:42,901
the builder of
the First Temple in Jerusalem

51
00:02:42,945 --> 00:02:45,339
and the keeper
of the Ark of the Covenant,

52
00:02:45,382 --> 00:02:48,907
was visited by
Queen Makeda of Ethiopia,

53
00:02:48,951 --> 00:02:51,954
also known as
the Queen of Sheba.

54
00:02:53,085 --> 00:02:54,783
YOUNG:
The Queen of Sheba, it is said,

55
00:02:54,826 --> 00:02:58,134
had a relationship with Solomon
and had a son.

56
00:02:58,178 --> 00:03:01,616
When he came of age,
he wanted to meet his father.

57
00:03:01,659 --> 00:03:03,922
And his mother
blessed this journey

58
00:03:03,966 --> 00:03:06,708
up to Israel to meet Solomon.

59
00:03:06,751 --> 00:03:08,884
And he stayed for some time.

60
00:03:08,927 --> 00:03:11,974
And then some, uh,
leaders of the Jewish nation

61
00:03:12,017 --> 00:03:14,672
went back with him to Ethiopia.

62
00:03:14,716 --> 00:03:17,632
Because of this connection
between the Queen of Sheba

63
00:03:17,675 --> 00:03:22,114
and Solomon, there's a large
Jewish population in Ethiopia.

64
00:03:22,158 --> 00:03:25,161
There are many returnees
to the Holy Land,

65
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:29,165
to Israel from Ethiopia and
other nearby areas in Africa.

66
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:32,560
Ethiopia is
an unusually holy place.

67
00:03:35,606 --> 00:03:40,394
NARRATOR:
Curiously, the Bible used by
the Ethiopian Orthodox Church

68
00:03:40,437 --> 00:03:44,006
differs from that of
other Christian denominations.

69
00:03:44,049 --> 00:03:46,617
Its version of the Old Testament

70
00:03:46,661 --> 00:03:51,143
includes a controversial text
known as the Book of Enoch.

71
00:03:51,187 --> 00:03:54,538
The Book of Enoch,
a very, very interesting,

72
00:03:54,582 --> 00:03:59,282
very ancient document,
which, uh, is only found

73
00:03:59,326 --> 00:04:01,066
in the language of Ge'ez,

74
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:05,462
which is sort of
Ethiopian early language

75
00:04:05,506 --> 00:04:09,249
and has over a hundred chapters
in the full form.

76
00:04:09,292 --> 00:04:10,728
So in the Ethiopian church,

77
00:04:10,772 --> 00:04:13,470
Enoch is considered a, uh,
canonical text.

78
00:04:13,514 --> 00:04:15,690
In other Christian traditions
it is not.

79
00:04:15,733 --> 00:04:19,171
NARRATOR:
The author of the book,
according to the text,

80
00:04:19,215 --> 00:04:24,046
is the Jewish patriarch Enoch--
the great-grandfather of Noah.

81
00:04:25,265 --> 00:04:27,310
Enoch is a biblical figure

82
00:04:27,354 --> 00:04:29,617
mentioned in
the Book of Genesis, chapter 5.

83
00:04:31,227 --> 00:04:34,317
What's interesting about Enoch
is a tradition arose

84
00:04:34,361 --> 00:04:36,232
that he never died.

85
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:39,540
And this is because
in Genesis 5:24,

86
00:04:39,583 --> 00:04:43,239
the text says that Enoch
walked with God,

87
00:04:43,283 --> 00:04:46,982
and then was no more
because God took him.

88
00:04:49,550 --> 00:04:53,293
NARRATOR:
But where the Hebrew Bible only
mentions Enoch briefly,

89
00:04:53,336 --> 00:04:55,686
the Book of Enoch,
which consists

90
00:04:55,730 --> 00:05:00,082
of more than 100 chapters,
greatly expands on his story.

91
00:05:00,125 --> 00:05:02,824
In it is a curious passage

92
00:05:02,867 --> 00:05:05,740
that details
Enoch's assent to heaven.

93
00:05:05,783 --> 00:05:07,524
VON DANIKEN:
According to the Book of Enoch,

94
00:05:07,568 --> 00:05:10,571
he says he was 12 years old.

95
00:05:10,614 --> 00:05:13,313
The whole community
of his village wanted to sleep.

96
00:05:13,356 --> 00:05:15,489
But then they hear the noise
in the sky.

97
00:05:15,532 --> 00:05:16,533
[rumbling]

98
00:05:16,577 --> 00:05:19,231
Two angels
came down from the sky.

99
00:05:19,275 --> 00:05:22,887
One of the two beings said to
Enoch, "Don't be afraid, human."

100
00:05:22,931 --> 00:05:26,804
Then they went up
to the so-called heaven.

101
00:05:26,848 --> 00:05:28,589
HENRY: And in the Book of Enoch,
we learn

102
00:05:28,632 --> 00:05:32,201
Enoch himself is taken into
the heavens in a fiery chariot.

103
00:05:32,244 --> 00:05:35,160
VON DANIKEN:
Enoch goes up
to the so-called sky

104
00:05:35,204 --> 00:05:38,207
and there Enoch
sees something over the Earth,

105
00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:39,513
which he cannot describe.

106
00:05:39,556 --> 00:05:43,038
He has no word
like "spaceship" or something.

107
00:05:43,081 --> 00:05:45,997
He says it looked like
houses of crystal.

108
00:05:47,390 --> 00:05:50,262
TSOUKALOS:
It is described that he sees

109
00:05:50,306 --> 00:05:52,395
planet Earth underneath him.

110
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,703
He actually describes
his arrival.

111
00:05:55,746 --> 00:05:58,923
How he has to walk through
these different rooms,

112
00:05:58,967 --> 00:06:01,665
where he sees jewels

113
00:06:01,709 --> 00:06:04,712
and he see shiny surfaces
and blinking lights.

114
00:06:05,713 --> 00:06:08,237
It is an eyewitness account.

115
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:11,588
It's "I, Enoch" did this,
"I, Enoch" saw that.

116
00:06:11,632 --> 00:06:15,984
The Book of Enoch is one of
the first abduction accounts

117
00:06:16,027 --> 00:06:19,335
written down
by a fellow human being.

118
00:06:20,554 --> 00:06:22,599
NARRATOR:
Does the Book of Enoch

119
00:06:22,643 --> 00:06:26,777
really describe
an actual abduction event,

120
00:06:26,821 --> 00:06:30,825
one that took place
thousands of years ago?

121
00:06:30,868 --> 00:06:34,568
And if so, might
this incredible close encounter

122
00:06:34,611 --> 00:06:38,746
be documenting communication
with otherworldly beings?

123
00:06:40,443 --> 00:06:43,228
ROBERT CARGILL:
Enoch was said to be
at the right hand of God.

124
00:06:43,272 --> 00:06:46,623
In fact, Enoch was said to be
God's scribe in later tradition.

125
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:49,844
So, God would decree things
and Enoch was the one

126
00:06:49,887 --> 00:06:51,672
who recorded everything
that went on.

127
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,068
So, Enoch was the keeper
of all knowledge of heaven.

128
00:06:57,112 --> 00:06:59,114
HENRY:
This is one the reasons

129
00:06:59,157 --> 00:07:01,551
why the Book of Enoch
is so controversial.

130
00:07:01,595 --> 00:07:04,902
He's taken up into the heavenly
realms, to the throne of God,

131
00:07:04,946 --> 00:07:08,297
where he is given powerful
universal knowledge

132
00:07:08,340 --> 00:07:12,083
by angelic beings,
or extraterrestrial beings.

133
00:07:13,998 --> 00:07:17,785
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

134
00:07:17,828 --> 00:07:21,310
the Book of Enoch is
one of the most compelling texts

135
00:07:21,353 --> 00:07:24,966
ever written documenting
extraterrestrial visitation.

136
00:07:26,054 --> 00:07:28,404
But it is far from unique.

137
00:07:28,448 --> 00:07:31,929
They say that similar encounters
were documented

138
00:07:31,973 --> 00:07:35,933
by many other ancient cultures,
lending support to the notion

139
00:07:35,977 --> 00:07:38,936
that Enoch's experiences
were genuine.

140
00:07:40,155 --> 00:07:43,637
We can find ancient texts
that speak of people

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,814
ascending to heaven
and then coming back down.

142
00:07:48,032 --> 00:07:49,425
For example, in ancient Greece,

143
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:51,035
you have the story of Ganymede

144
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:54,474
that was taken up
by Zeus's eagle.

145
00:07:54,517 --> 00:08:00,088
Also in ancient China,
and in ancient Sumeria,

146
00:08:00,131 --> 00:08:04,962
and also in ancient Egypt,
are there stories of people

147
00:08:05,006 --> 00:08:08,879
having been visited
or having gone up to the sky

148
00:08:08,923 --> 00:08:13,580
to visit with
the so-called gods, lowercase G.

149
00:08:13,623 --> 00:08:17,540
NARRATOR:
While these other accounts tell
a similar story,

150
00:08:17,584 --> 00:08:19,586
none contain
the incredible detail

151
00:08:19,629 --> 00:08:22,502
found within the Book of Enoch.

152
00:08:22,545 --> 00:08:24,939
And some researchers believe

153
00:08:24,982 --> 00:08:27,550
that it was because
of this controversial content

154
00:08:27,594 --> 00:08:32,033
that the text was omitted from
most versions of the Bible.

155
00:08:33,338 --> 00:08:37,342
Not only do-do these texts
infer quite strongly,

156
00:08:37,386 --> 00:08:39,910
uh, the possibility of
extraterrestrial life,

157
00:08:39,954 --> 00:08:45,220
but they also show
a very different side of God.

158
00:08:45,263 --> 00:08:49,311
This type of information,
these type of texts,

159
00:08:49,354 --> 00:08:51,226
this could not be
put into the Bible.

160
00:08:52,619 --> 00:08:54,229
TZADOK:
The sages of the time considered

161
00:08:54,272 --> 00:08:56,057
the teachings of
the Book of Enoch,

162
00:08:56,100 --> 00:08:58,494
if you will, too hot to handle.

163
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:02,280
And therefore,
it fell along by the wayside,

164
00:09:02,324 --> 00:09:04,152
concealed and hidden.

165
00:09:04,195 --> 00:09:08,548
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
the teachings of Enoch reveal

166
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:12,290
that not all angelic encounters
were of a divine nature?

167
00:09:12,334 --> 00:09:15,859
Is this the secret
that has been kept alive

168
00:09:15,903 --> 00:09:18,470
in the Ethiopian version
of the Bible?

169
00:09:18,514 --> 00:09:22,605
For ancient astronaut theorists,
the Book of Enoch

170
00:09:22,649 --> 00:09:25,826
lies at the heart
of an extraterrestrial agenda

171
00:09:25,869 --> 00:09:29,612
that has been shaping human
history for thousands of years.

172
00:09:29,656 --> 00:09:33,877
And they suggest that nowhere
is this more evident

173
00:09:33,921 --> 00:09:38,403
than in the book's descriptions
of beings called "the Watchers."

174
00:09:38,447 --> 00:09:40,188
[thunder crashes]

175
00:09:44,888 --> 00:09:48,544
KEN BOYDSTON:
What we're doing is just

176
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:52,243
To end a dispute
in the Anglican church,

177
00:09:52,287 --> 00:09:54,768
King James the First
orders the creation

178
00:09:54,811 --> 00:09:57,292
of a standardized English Bible.

179
00:09:57,335 --> 00:10:01,252
Today, more than four centuries
after its creation,

180
00:10:01,296 --> 00:10:05,648
the King James Version remains
the most famous Bible in history

181
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:09,826
and one of the most published
books of all time.

182
00:10:09,870 --> 00:10:14,265
Interestingly,
while it contains 66 books,

183
00:10:14,309 --> 00:10:17,138
the Catholic Bible has 73,

184
00:10:17,181 --> 00:10:21,838
and the Ethiopian Orthodox
version is comprised of 81.

185
00:10:21,882 --> 00:10:26,190
But why were so many texts,
including the Book of Enoch,

186
00:10:26,234 --> 00:10:27,888
edited out?

187
00:10:29,585 --> 00:10:33,589
There has always been
accepted literature,

188
00:10:33,633 --> 00:10:36,592
which becomes
the foundation of orthodoxy,

189
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:39,508
and then
there's other literature

190
00:10:39,551 --> 00:10:43,643
that the accepted orthodoxy
rejects.

191
00:10:43,686 --> 00:10:47,603
Books that don't make it into
the collection of the Bible--

192
00:10:47,647 --> 00:10:49,736
both the Hebrew Bible
and the New Testament--

193
00:10:49,779 --> 00:10:51,563
are the Apocrypha.

194
00:10:51,607 --> 00:10:54,001
JULYE BIDMEAD: The word
Apocrypha means hidden things,

195
00:10:54,044 --> 00:10:55,916
and that's probably from

196
00:10:55,959 --> 00:10:59,354
the ancients hiding these texts
away from the general public,

197
00:10:59,397 --> 00:11:01,835
because they could be dangerous.

198
00:11:01,878 --> 00:11:03,924
NARRATOR:
"Dangerous"?

199
00:11:03,967 --> 00:11:07,275
Is it possible that
the Book of Enoch was omitted

200
00:11:07,318 --> 00:11:08,885
because it exposed truths

201
00:11:08,929 --> 00:11:11,366
about human history
that were considered

202
00:11:11,409 --> 00:11:13,673
too risky
for the public to know?

203
00:11:13,716 --> 00:11:18,765
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest insight can be found

204
00:11:18,808 --> 00:11:22,377
by examining a passage
in the Old Testament.

205
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:25,467
We know from the Book of Daniel
in chapter 4

206
00:11:25,510 --> 00:11:28,949
that there is a group
of angelic entities,

207
00:11:28,992 --> 00:11:31,778
whose job, whose role it is
as ordained by God

208
00:11:31,821 --> 00:11:35,695
to direct the affairs
of humanity.

209
00:11:35,738 --> 00:11:40,830
These angelic forces
look over our world

210
00:11:40,874 --> 00:11:46,183
and control the direction
of civilization.

211
00:11:47,402 --> 00:11:49,099
NARRATOR:
While this passage is brief,

212
00:11:49,143 --> 00:11:52,146
these beings serve as
the primary focus

213
00:11:52,189 --> 00:11:53,756
of the Book of Enoch,

214
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,585
where they are described
as divine overseers

215
00:11:56,628 --> 00:11:58,935
known as "the Watchers."

216
00:11:58,979 --> 00:12:01,503
VON DANIKEN:
Enoch calls them,
in the English version,

217
00:12:01,546 --> 00:12:04,288
"guardians of the sky
or watchers of the sky."

218
00:12:04,332 --> 00:12:07,988
In the German version,
they are called "angels."

219
00:12:08,031 --> 00:12:10,686
No, it was simply another time.

220
00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:13,036
Now we have a new time.

221
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,126
Now we must translate it
with new words.

222
00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:18,215
Change the word of "angel."

223
00:12:18,259 --> 00:12:22,524
Scratch it out
and write "extraterrestrial."

224
00:12:22,567 --> 00:12:26,658
TZADOK:
These angels were not
spiritualbeings.

225
00:12:26,702 --> 00:12:28,443
They were physicalbeings.

226
00:12:28,486 --> 00:12:30,575
That is something very clear

227
00:12:30,619 --> 00:12:33,100
about the identity
of biblical angels.

228
00:12:33,143 --> 00:12:35,232
They're not of this world,

229
00:12:35,276 --> 00:12:37,539
and, therefore,
they are not terrestrial.

230
00:12:37,582 --> 00:12:41,499
And, therefore,
they are extraterrestrial.

231
00:12:41,543 --> 00:12:44,198
NARRATOR:
According to the Book of Enoch,

232
00:12:44,241 --> 00:12:49,159
a total of 200 Watchers
descended to Earth.

233
00:12:49,203 --> 00:12:50,770
Enoch gives us
some of the names,

234
00:12:50,813 --> 00:12:53,468
but we know they were
ruled by Samyaza

235
00:12:53,511 --> 00:12:55,905
and Aza... Azazel.

236
00:12:55,949 --> 00:12:59,300
Azazel was later
known as Lucifer.

237
00:13:01,215 --> 00:13:03,478
HUGH NEWMAN:
The Watchers had
a very bright appearance

238
00:13:03,521 --> 00:13:05,567
and one of their names was
"the Shining Ones."

239
00:13:05,610 --> 00:13:09,701
And even Enoch, when he wrote
about them, he even said

240
00:13:09,745 --> 00:13:12,313
he could barely look at them
because they were so bright.

241
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:17,057
NARRATOR:
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

242
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:20,756
the idea that the Watchers
were alien visitors

243
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,802
is most strongly corroborated

244
00:13:22,845 --> 00:13:25,848
by the stories
of the prophet Elijah.

245
00:13:25,892 --> 00:13:27,850
TZADOK:
Aside from Enoch,

246
00:13:27,894 --> 00:13:29,983
there was one other
we know from the Bible,

247
00:13:30,026 --> 00:13:32,768
who did ascend to heaven
in chariots of fire,

248
00:13:32,812 --> 00:13:34,335
whatever that is meaning.

249
00:13:34,378 --> 00:13:37,817
And this, of course,
is the famous prophet, Elijah.

250
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:41,951
Elijah was a powerful,
powerful prophet

251
00:13:41,995 --> 00:13:46,738
who had abilities apparently far
beyond those of other prophets.

252
00:13:46,782 --> 00:13:50,612
Elijah possessed
a power cloak or a garment

253
00:13:50,655 --> 00:13:52,875
that gave him the-the ability
to heal the sick

254
00:13:52,919 --> 00:13:54,877
and even to raise the dead.

255
00:13:54,921 --> 00:13:58,533
And then one day he used
that power cloak or garment

256
00:13:58,576 --> 00:14:01,057
to ascend upon a fiery chariot.

257
00:14:01,101 --> 00:14:03,016
A chariot of the gods.

258
00:14:03,059 --> 00:14:06,454
And when Elijah ascended,
there were 50 prophets

259
00:14:06,497 --> 00:14:08,673
that witnessed his ascension.

260
00:14:08,717 --> 00:14:11,024
TZADOK:
The Bible calls it
"chariot of fire."

261
00:14:11,067 --> 00:14:13,461
Now, what is this chariot?

262
00:14:13,504 --> 00:14:15,115
Was it some type of a...

263
00:14:15,158 --> 00:14:18,509
technological
transportation device,

264
00:14:18,553 --> 00:14:21,425
which in ancient times
would not have been understood

265
00:14:21,469 --> 00:14:24,820
as anything else
but a chariot of fire?

266
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:29,781
NARRATOR:
Curiously, while the idea
of the soul ascending to heaven

267
00:14:29,825 --> 00:14:32,915
is a key component
of Judeo-Christian traditions,

268
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:35,613
there are a number
of instances in the Bible

269
00:14:35,657 --> 00:14:38,573
where it is said that
a person ascends bodily.

270
00:14:38,616 --> 00:14:41,184
In addition to Enoch and Elijah,

271
00:14:41,228 --> 00:14:44,796
this is also the case with both
Jesus and his mother Mary.

272
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:46,276
But why?

273
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,931
If heaven is a spiritual realm,

274
00:14:48,975 --> 00:14:54,023
why is it written that certain
individuals ascended bodily?

275
00:14:54,067 --> 00:14:58,810
Neither Enoch nor Elijah ever
claimed that they were prophets.

276
00:14:58,854 --> 00:15:01,248
It was the biblical
writers later

277
00:15:01,291 --> 00:15:03,946
who claimed
that they're prophets.

278
00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:09,212
The reason why Enoch ended up
being called a prophet

279
00:15:09,256 --> 00:15:12,650
is because of
the experiences he had.

280
00:15:12,694 --> 00:15:17,829
He was taken up into space
by extraterrestrials,

281
00:15:17,873 --> 00:15:21,355
and we have a similar story
with Elijah.

282
00:15:21,398 --> 00:15:23,966
Enoch, Elijah...

283
00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:28,492
It-It's all part of
the big concept

284
00:15:28,536 --> 00:15:30,668
of misunderstood technology.

285
00:15:30,712 --> 00:15:34,759
NARRATOR:
If the Watchers were,
in fact, extraterrestrials--

286
00:15:34,803 --> 00:15:37,588
as ancient astronaut
theorists suggest--

287
00:15:37,632 --> 00:15:40,200
did they have an agenda
for humankind?

288
00:15:40,243 --> 00:15:43,029
Perhaps further clues
can be found

289
00:15:43,072 --> 00:15:46,902
by examining another ancient
text attributed to Enoch

290
00:15:46,946 --> 00:15:49,731
that was almost entirely
destroyed--

291
00:15:49,774 --> 00:15:51,820
The Book of Giants.

292
00:15:59,175 --> 00:16:03,353
What if there are references

293
00:16:03,397 --> 00:16:06,182
20 miles east of Jerusalem,

294
00:16:06,226 --> 00:16:09,185
at this ancient site
in the Judean Desert...

295
00:16:09,229 --> 00:16:15,017
Bedouin shepherds stumble upon
an extraordinary discovery.

296
00:16:15,061 --> 00:16:18,803
BIDMEAD:
The Dead Sea is surrounded
by caves.

297
00:16:18,847 --> 00:16:21,545
And as young teenage boys
would do,

298
00:16:21,589 --> 00:16:23,634
they threw a rock into the cave,

299
00:16:23,678 --> 00:16:27,029
heard the sound
of breaking pots.

300
00:16:27,073 --> 00:16:29,945
Came back the next day,
climbed into the cave,

301
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:31,686
and what did they find?

302
00:16:31,729 --> 00:16:33,644
They found huge clay jars.

303
00:16:33,688 --> 00:16:38,954
COLLINS: Inside these
storage jars were ancient texts,

304
00:16:38,998 --> 00:16:41,435
which very quickly
they came to realize

305
00:16:41,478 --> 00:16:44,394
that these were incredibly
important.

306
00:16:44,438 --> 00:16:46,962
CARGILL:
In these scrolls,

307
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:49,573
we find biblical manuscripts--

308
00:16:49,617 --> 00:16:51,793
copies of the Bible
that are a thousand years older

309
00:16:51,836 --> 00:16:55,231
than any previously
known copy of the Bible.

310
00:16:55,275 --> 00:16:58,539
As well as
a treasure trove of documents

311
00:16:58,582 --> 00:16:59,888
that we had never seen before.

312
00:17:02,673 --> 00:17:04,806
NARRATOR:
Archaeologists were
surprised to find

313
00:17:04,849 --> 00:17:07,461
that whoever collected
the Dead Sea Scrolls

314
00:17:07,504 --> 00:17:10,159
considered The Book of Enoch
to be of vital importance,

315
00:17:10,203 --> 00:17:13,684
preserving 11
different manuscripts,

316
00:17:13,728 --> 00:17:17,732
including versions
never seen in modern times.

317
00:17:19,690 --> 00:17:21,040
Also found were fragments

318
00:17:21,083 --> 00:17:23,390
of another work
attributed to Enoch--

319
00:17:23,433 --> 00:17:27,046
The Book of Giants.

320
00:17:27,089 --> 00:17:31,354
Some parts of this text included
in the Dead Sea Scrolls

321
00:17:31,398 --> 00:17:34,096
had been lost for centuries,

322
00:17:34,140 --> 00:17:36,490
and many scholars believe
the stories contained

323
00:17:36,533 --> 00:17:38,274
within The Book of Giants

324
00:17:38,318 --> 00:17:41,234
were written
before even the Book of Genesis.

325
00:17:44,019 --> 00:17:47,501
It expounds on Genesis 6:1-4,

326
00:17:47,544 --> 00:17:49,242
when the story is-is begun

327
00:17:49,285 --> 00:17:52,506
that the Watchers
descended upon Earth

328
00:17:52,549 --> 00:17:56,292
and took wives from Earth
women-- from human women--

329
00:17:56,336 --> 00:17:59,078
and their offspring
were giants.

330
00:17:59,121 --> 00:18:01,863
COLLINS:
The Book of Giants
is about the Nephilim,

331
00:18:01,906 --> 00:18:04,344
the sons of the Watchers.

332
00:18:04,387 --> 00:18:08,174
It's about their lives,
uh, their conversations

333
00:18:08,217 --> 00:18:12,961
and they realize
that they are evil.

334
00:18:15,311 --> 00:18:17,487
NARRATOR:
According to The Book of Giants,

335
00:18:17,531 --> 00:18:20,708
the Nephilim were guilty
of horrific crimes,

336
00:18:20,751 --> 00:18:25,495
including slaughtering humans
and feasting on their flesh.

337
00:18:25,539 --> 00:18:29,369
God ultimately decides
the Earth must be cleansed

338
00:18:29,412 --> 00:18:32,807
and chooses one man
to restart humanity anew--

339
00:18:32,850 --> 00:18:36,941
Noah, the great-grandson
of Enoch.

340
00:18:36,985 --> 00:18:41,642
In the Bible, Noah-- the son
of a Shepherd named Lamech--

341
00:18:41,685 --> 00:18:44,862
and his wife Betenos
was chosen by God

342
00:18:44,906 --> 00:18:47,778
because of his blameless piety.

343
00:18:47,822 --> 00:18:51,130
But when the Dead Sea Scrolls
were discovered,

344
00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:54,350
religious scholars were shocked
to find a much different

345
00:18:54,394 --> 00:18:58,398
and potentially older
version of the story of Noah.

346
00:18:58,441 --> 00:19:03,054
The Lamech Scroll documents
that Noah became the chosen one

347
00:19:03,098 --> 00:19:04,926
before he was born,

348
00:19:04,969 --> 00:19:09,278
and his father was not Lamech.

349
00:19:09,322 --> 00:19:10,758
TSOUKALOS:
When Noah was born,

350
00:19:10,801 --> 00:19:14,414
the father, Lamech,
was gone at the time.

351
00:19:14,457 --> 00:19:18,374
However, the wife of Lamech knew
immediately something was up

352
00:19:18,418 --> 00:19:22,509
with Noah because he didn't look
like a normal human being.

353
00:19:23,901 --> 00:19:26,687
CARTER:
He is described as having skin

354
00:19:26,730 --> 00:19:30,212
so white it was radiant.

355
00:19:30,256 --> 00:19:33,824
His hair was white like wool.

356
00:19:33,868 --> 00:19:36,914
His father, Lamech, says,

357
00:19:36,958 --> 00:19:39,874
"He has the ways of
the Watchers."

358
00:19:39,917 --> 00:19:43,007
When he blinked, his eyes
lit up the whole house.

359
00:19:43,051 --> 00:19:46,228
This does not sound
like a human being.

360
00:19:46,272 --> 00:19:48,274
The boy looked
completely different

361
00:19:48,317 --> 00:19:49,797
than Lamech's other children.

362
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,016
And Lamech said
to his wife Betenos,

363
00:19:52,060 --> 00:19:56,195
"This can't be my son
because I was away too long."

364
00:19:56,238 --> 00:19:58,588
You know, it doesn't fit
with the nine months.

365
00:19:58,632 --> 00:20:01,461
And Lamech goes for advice
to his father

366
00:20:01,504 --> 00:20:03,245
who was the biblical Methuselah.

367
00:20:03,289 --> 00:20:06,727
Methuselah goes to his father
which is Enoch.

368
00:20:06,770 --> 00:20:10,209
Enoch says,
"The guardians of the sky

369
00:20:10,252 --> 00:20:16,171
"have inseminated Betenos
without touching her sexually.

370
00:20:16,215 --> 00:20:19,609
"He should accept
this boy as his own

371
00:20:19,653 --> 00:20:22,221
"and should give him
the name of Noah

372
00:20:22,264 --> 00:20:26,050
"because the guardians
of the sky have decided

373
00:20:26,094 --> 00:20:29,532
Noah is the father
of the coming generation."

374
00:20:29,576 --> 00:20:33,406
So in that case,
proven in the Dead Sea Scrolls,

375
00:20:33,449 --> 00:20:37,105
we know for sure there was
an artificial insemination.

376
00:20:39,412 --> 00:20:42,153
NARRATOR:
Is it possible
that the Dead Sea Scrolls

377
00:20:42,197 --> 00:20:45,548
contain the true story of Noah?

378
00:20:45,592 --> 00:20:48,203
Was he not a pious man
chosen by God,

379
00:20:48,247 --> 00:20:50,423
but a genetically altered human,

380
00:20:50,466 --> 00:20:55,297
created by extraterrestrials
to reboot life on Earth?

381
00:20:55,341 --> 00:20:58,779
While further details
about Enoch and Noah

382
00:20:58,822 --> 00:21:01,347
may have existed
in The Book of Giants,

383
00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:05,002
only fragments
of the full text have survived.

384
00:21:05,046 --> 00:21:08,397
But now, new technology
may bring to light

385
00:21:08,441 --> 00:21:13,141
even more incredible
revelations.

386
00:21:15,143 --> 00:21:17,319
Santa Barbara, California.

387
00:21:17,363 --> 00:21:20,801
February 18, 2020.

388
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:24,674
Rabbi Ariel Bar Tzadok
and Giorgio Tsoukalos

389
00:21:24,718 --> 00:21:27,721
travel to MegaVision

390
00:21:27,764 --> 00:21:32,291
to meet with imaging expert
Ken Boydston.

391
00:21:32,334 --> 00:21:34,902
-Ken. Good to see you.
-BOYDSTON: Hey.

392
00:21:34,945 --> 00:21:38,993
NARRATOR:
Ken recently invented
a revolutionary type of camera

393
00:21:39,036 --> 00:21:40,995
that takes pictures
using a technology

394
00:21:41,038 --> 00:21:43,171
called multispectral imaging.

395
00:21:43,214 --> 00:21:45,826
Giorgio and Ariel are intrigued

396
00:21:45,869 --> 00:21:48,437
by the implications
of this technology,

397
00:21:48,481 --> 00:21:51,266
and they are eager to find out
just how far it can go

398
00:21:51,310 --> 00:21:54,487
in retrieving lost passages
from the Book of Enoch.

399
00:21:56,053 --> 00:21:58,534
TSOUKALOS:
Ken, can you explain to me

400
00:21:58,578 --> 00:22:01,494
the multispectral imaging system
that you have invented?

401
00:22:01,537 --> 00:22:03,365
BOYDSTON
Well, multispectral,

402
00:22:03,409 --> 00:22:06,542
simply put, it's taking
a lot of pictures

403
00:22:06,586 --> 00:22:09,197
under different colors of light.

404
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,417
-Mm-hmm.
-And we don't want to see
the light that's on the object.

405
00:22:11,460 --> 00:22:16,073
We want to only see the light
that the object is producing

406
00:22:16,117 --> 00:22:18,380
in response to that light
coming in.

407
00:22:18,424 --> 00:22:22,123
What we're doing
is just listening

408
00:22:22,166 --> 00:22:23,385
with light to the object.

409
00:22:23,429 --> 00:22:25,909
"What story do you have
to tell us?"

410
00:22:25,953 --> 00:22:28,912
The camera can see
what the human eye cannot see,

411
00:22:28,956 --> 00:22:32,612
and therein lies the magic
and some of the mystery

412
00:22:32,655 --> 00:22:34,178
and some
of the great excitement,

413
00:22:34,222 --> 00:22:36,790
because we are able
to discover things

414
00:22:36,833 --> 00:22:40,271
that have been hidden
for generations or ages.

415
00:22:40,315 --> 00:22:41,577
Mm-hmm.

416
00:22:41,621 --> 00:22:44,537
NARRATOR:
Incredibly, Ken's camera

417
00:22:44,580 --> 00:22:48,715
is able to retrieve script that
has become eroded with time,

418
00:22:48,758 --> 00:22:51,544
script that was purposely
scrubbed from parchment

419
00:22:51,587 --> 00:22:55,199
and written over,
and even script within scrolls

420
00:22:55,243 --> 00:22:59,987
that cannot be opened because
they are too fragile to handle.

421
00:23:00,030 --> 00:23:02,946
Many of these scrolls
might be thousands of years old,

422
00:23:02,990 --> 00:23:05,993
and as you know, we can't just
open them up and read them

423
00:23:06,036 --> 00:23:07,908
because they will deteriorate,

424
00:23:07,951 --> 00:23:09,692
very similar like
the Dead Sea Scrolls.

425
00:23:09,736 --> 00:23:10,824
TSOUKALOS:
Yes. So, can you

426
00:23:10,867 --> 00:23:12,521
-show us how this works?
-BOYDSTON: Yeah.

427
00:23:12,565 --> 00:23:14,393
Let's kind of go through
a little bit of stuff.

428
00:23:16,699 --> 00:23:19,180
NARRATOR:
To demonstrate the power
of this technology,

429
00:23:19,223 --> 00:23:21,965
Ken is going to apply
spectral imaging to a document

430
00:23:22,009 --> 00:23:23,793
that has been burned so badly,

431
00:23:23,837 --> 00:23:28,798
much of the text is completely
undetectable to the naked eye.

432
00:23:28,842 --> 00:23:30,496
BOYDSTON:
During World War II, the Nazis

433
00:23:30,539 --> 00:23:33,237
burned vast quantities
of documents...

434
00:23:33,281 --> 00:23:34,674
Ah.

435
00:23:34,717 --> 00:23:39,243
...so we are recovering
the partially burned texts.

436
00:23:39,287 --> 00:23:41,724
-Amazing.
-And so, we're ready to do it.

437
00:23:41,768 --> 00:23:43,247
TSOUKALOS:
Lights.

438
00:23:43,291 --> 00:23:45,598
BOYDSTON:
Each time the light flashes,

439
00:23:45,641 --> 00:23:47,774
the shutter clicks,
another picture is captured.

440
00:23:47,817 --> 00:23:52,518
So, you're seeing a little
tiny bit of light right now,

441
00:23:52,561 --> 00:23:54,258
but the camera
is seeing lots of light

442
00:23:54,302 --> 00:23:56,130
because this is down
into the infrared.

443
00:23:56,173 --> 00:23:57,827
All right.

444
00:23:57,871 --> 00:24:01,091
So, out of the visible light
pictures that we just took,

445
00:24:01,135 --> 00:24:03,529
those individual ones,
the computer put them together

446
00:24:03,572 --> 00:24:05,008
and lo and behold,

447
00:24:05,052 --> 00:24:07,489
there's a perfect color picture
of that object,

448
00:24:07,533 --> 00:24:09,230
which would be just
what our eyes see.

449
00:24:09,273 --> 00:24:10,449
-TSOUKALOS: Look at this.
-Which, there it is.

450
00:24:10,492 --> 00:24:11,580
TSOUKALOS:
There you go.

451
00:24:11,624 --> 00:24:13,016
-TZADOK: Wow.
-BOYDSTON: There it is.

452
00:24:13,060 --> 00:24:14,235
All of that text right there.

453
00:24:14,278 --> 00:24:15,976
And we can enhance that
a little bit.

454
00:24:16,019 --> 00:24:18,805
We can, uh, we can push
the contrast up a little bit

455
00:24:18,848 --> 00:24:20,763
-on that...
-That word says símera.

456
00:24:20,807 --> 00:24:22,199
-There we go.
-It means "today."

457
00:24:22,243 --> 00:24:24,463
-BOYDSTON: So, um...
-Arius.

458
00:24:24,506 --> 00:24:28,684
That's a little demonstration of
what-what the technology can do.

459
00:24:28,728 --> 00:24:32,993
Uh, just, a very quick,
and, uh, compelling, really.

460
00:24:33,036 --> 00:24:35,169
TSOUKALOS:
This is extraordinary, really.

461
00:24:35,212 --> 00:24:37,345
-Wow.
-So, just imagine,

462
00:24:37,388 --> 00:24:40,957
uh, if you have thousands
and thousands of these pages,

463
00:24:41,001 --> 00:24:44,091
where, uh, no one
has been able to read them

464
00:24:44,134 --> 00:24:45,527
since they were destroyed.

465
00:24:45,571 --> 00:24:48,443
TSOUKALOS:
In front of our eyes,

466
00:24:48,487 --> 00:24:51,881
long-lost knowledge
that has been thought

467
00:24:51,925 --> 00:24:55,058
to have been completely
and utterly destroyed

468
00:24:55,102 --> 00:24:59,280
has been resurrected
with the power of light.

469
00:24:59,323 --> 00:25:02,501
An ancient prophecy said
that towards the coming

470
00:25:02,544 --> 00:25:07,027
of what we will call disclosure,
all of these secrets,

471
00:25:07,070 --> 00:25:10,726
these ancient secrets,
would be brought back to us.

472
00:25:10,770 --> 00:25:12,728
We never understood how,

473
00:25:12,772 --> 00:25:16,689
but now it's actually happening
in front of our eyes.

474
00:25:16,732 --> 00:25:19,387
What if there are references

475
00:25:19,430 --> 00:25:23,173
to extraterrestrials
that we've never seen before?

476
00:25:23,217 --> 00:25:25,741
-There definitely are.
-So it's a corroboration

477
00:25:25,785 --> 00:25:27,569
of what we're already doing.

478
00:25:27,613 --> 00:25:29,876
I mean, this is sensational.

479
00:25:31,660 --> 00:25:35,446
NARRATOR: In 2018,
the Israel Antiquities Authority

480
00:25:35,490 --> 00:25:37,840
studying the Dead Sea Scrolls
announced

481
00:25:37,884 --> 00:25:41,931
that multispectral analysis had
uncovered writings on a fragment

482
00:25:41,975 --> 00:25:46,022
that points to a previously
unknown manuscript.

483
00:25:46,066 --> 00:25:51,941
Once it's discovered, what will
this missing manuscript reveal?

484
00:25:51,985 --> 00:25:55,510
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

485
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:57,904
there could be numerous
lost texts of Enoch

486
00:25:57,947 --> 00:25:59,906
that will come to light.

487
00:25:59,949 --> 00:26:03,387
Texts that were hidden
in secure locations

488
00:26:03,431 --> 00:26:04,998
so that they would survive

489
00:26:05,041 --> 00:26:07,740
a devastating
global cataclysm...

490
00:26:08,871 --> 00:26:10,569
...the Great Flood.

491
00:26:14,790 --> 00:26:17,619
COLLINS:
The world was devastated

492
00:26:17,663 --> 00:26:20,056
NARRATOR:
The Book of Genesis.

493
00:26:21,275 --> 00:26:23,320
In chapters six through nine,

494
00:26:23,364 --> 00:26:26,236
it is described that God
had become deeply troubled

495
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,238
by the wickedness
of the human race,

496
00:26:28,282 --> 00:26:30,632
and decided to bring it
to an end

497
00:26:30,676 --> 00:26:33,983
by sending a great flood
upon the Earth.

498
00:26:34,027 --> 00:26:38,771
Only Noah and his family would
survive, and it was God himself

499
00:26:38,814 --> 00:26:41,338
who gave Noah instructions
for building the Ark

500
00:26:41,382 --> 00:26:45,821
that would save both them and
two of every earthly creature.

501
00:26:45,865 --> 00:26:49,346
The Book of Enoch
tells the same story,

502
00:26:49,390 --> 00:26:52,393
but with significant
differences.

503
00:26:54,656 --> 00:26:57,006
KATHLEEN McGOWAN:
One of the differences
is that in the Book of Enoch,

504
00:26:57,050 --> 00:27:00,009
the flood washes away
these rebellious angels.

505
00:27:00,053 --> 00:27:02,142
And it washes away the Nephilim,
as opposed

506
00:27:02,185 --> 00:27:04,361
to the traditional flood story,

507
00:27:04,405 --> 00:27:08,714
which washes away people who
have been rebellious and sinful.

508
00:27:08,757 --> 00:27:11,804
God is protecting us
in the Book of Enoch.

509
00:27:11,847 --> 00:27:15,198
It is a very different God
than the spiteful, wrathful God

510
00:27:15,242 --> 00:27:17,331
that we see
in the Genesis account.

511
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:20,334
NARRATOR:
Another key difference

512
00:27:20,377 --> 00:27:23,293
in Enoch's account is that Noah
is not given instructions

513
00:27:23,337 --> 00:27:28,298
to build the Ark by God,
but by the angel Uriel.

514
00:27:28,342 --> 00:27:31,693
HENRY: The archangel Uriel
is the one who warned Noah

515
00:27:31,737 --> 00:27:35,044
about the impending flood,
and who told him

516
00:27:35,088 --> 00:27:38,613
about humanity's future and the
possibility of this cataclysm.

517
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:41,355
What we're witnessing here
is an extraordinary story

518
00:27:41,398 --> 00:27:44,401
of an extraterrestrial being
having a tremendous--

519
00:27:44,445 --> 00:27:48,841
in fact, incalculable influence
on human affairs.

520
00:27:51,321 --> 00:27:54,063
NARRATOR:
Does Enoch's account
of the Great Flood reveal

521
00:27:54,107 --> 00:27:57,414
that it is not a story of God
punishing humankind,

522
00:27:57,458 --> 00:27:59,025
but of extraterrestrials

523
00:27:59,068 --> 00:28:01,505
directing the course
of humanity?

524
00:28:02,985 --> 00:28:06,162
As far as many religious
scholars are concerned,

525
00:28:06,206 --> 00:28:07,860
both the biblical version

526
00:28:07,903 --> 00:28:09,644
and the Enochian version
of the Great Flood

527
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:12,734
are simply allegorical tales.

528
00:28:12,778 --> 00:28:16,390
But an increasing number
of archaeologists and historians

529
00:28:16,433 --> 00:28:21,221
now believe that this global
cataclysm actually happened.

530
00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:30,143
Uzengili, Turkey. 1997.

531
00:28:30,186 --> 00:28:33,102
After years of research,

532
00:28:33,146 --> 00:28:36,932
American explorer David
Allen Deal has become convinced

533
00:28:36,976 --> 00:28:40,936
that the biblical story of Noah
is, in fact, historical,

534
00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:45,245
and is on the hunt to find
the remnants of the Ark.

535
00:28:45,288 --> 00:28:50,293
At an elevation of more than
7,000 feet, near Mount Ararat,

536
00:28:50,337 --> 00:28:53,688
where the Bible says Noah's Ark
eventually landed,

537
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:56,952
he stumbles upon the ruins
of an ancient settlement.

538
00:28:56,996 --> 00:28:59,128
DAVID CHILDRESS:
What he discovered

539
00:28:59,172 --> 00:29:03,872
is what's known as the lost city
of-of Noah, or-or Naxuan.

540
00:29:03,916 --> 00:29:09,138
And this is an area that's near
a strange geological formation

541
00:29:09,182 --> 00:29:12,402
that some people think
is actually Noah's Ark.

542
00:29:15,971 --> 00:29:19,148
NARRATOR:
The ancient Armenian historian
Moses of Chorene

543
00:29:19,192 --> 00:29:24,110
identified Naxuan as the place
of Noah's first descent.

544
00:29:24,153 --> 00:29:26,112
Could this be
the first settlement

545
00:29:26,155 --> 00:29:28,854
in a post-flood world?

546
00:29:28,897 --> 00:29:31,813
A recent archeological dig
reportedly uncovered

547
00:29:31,857 --> 00:29:34,033
something remarkable:

548
00:29:34,076 --> 00:29:38,472
the region may contain
millions of graves.

549
00:29:38,515 --> 00:29:43,390
CHILDRESS:
Because Noah's tomb
is said to be here,

550
00:29:43,433 --> 00:29:47,873
a huge cemetery has grown up
around this lost city of Noah.

551
00:29:47,916 --> 00:29:52,312
And people from all over the
Middle East in ancient times,

552
00:29:52,355 --> 00:29:56,098
uh, insisted on being buried
in this area.

553
00:29:57,534 --> 00:29:59,667
NARRATOR:
Researchers suggest that Naxuan

554
00:29:59,710 --> 00:30:02,191
is just one of many points
of evidence

555
00:30:02,235 --> 00:30:06,413
that support the notion
of a historical great flood.

556
00:30:06,456 --> 00:30:11,418
What we now know from
incredible amount of evidence

557
00:30:11,461 --> 00:30:14,987
coming from every part
of the world,

558
00:30:15,030 --> 00:30:18,947
is that around 10,800 BC,

559
00:30:18,991 --> 00:30:24,518
the world was devastated
by some kind of impact event.

560
00:30:26,128 --> 00:30:31,830
And this devastated
every part of the landscape,

561
00:30:31,873 --> 00:30:37,400
what today we might refer to
as a nuclear winter

562
00:30:37,444 --> 00:30:40,751
that blotted out the Sun,
the Moon and the stars.

563
00:30:40,795 --> 00:30:43,885
There's something called
the Usselo horizon

564
00:30:43,929 --> 00:30:45,887
that's been found
all over the world.

565
00:30:45,931 --> 00:30:48,324
It's like a layer of black ash.

566
00:30:48,368 --> 00:30:51,675
This suggests there
was a great conflagration

567
00:30:51,719 --> 00:30:54,591
that took place,
great fires and burning,

568
00:30:54,635 --> 00:30:56,811
and it left this layer
all around the world.

569
00:30:56,855 --> 00:31:01,381
And it dates to between
11,000 and 13,000 years ago.

570
00:31:04,210 --> 00:31:06,603
So this does suggest
something very serious

571
00:31:06,647 --> 00:31:09,041
took place at this time.

572
00:31:09,084 --> 00:31:11,913
NARRATOR:
Could this layer of ash,

573
00:31:11,957 --> 00:31:15,090
found roughly 50 feet deep
in the Earth's soil,

574
00:31:15,134 --> 00:31:18,702
be evidence
of a devastating global event?

575
00:31:18,746 --> 00:31:22,010
According to geologist
Dr. Robert Schoch,

576
00:31:22,054 --> 00:31:25,622
a worldwide cataclysm,
and the resulting layer of ash,

577
00:31:25,666 --> 00:31:28,669
was likely created
by a solar flare,

578
00:31:28,712 --> 00:31:32,760
a sudden flash of increased
brightness on the Sun.

579
00:31:35,023 --> 00:31:37,460
SCHOCH:
Based on my analysis
of the evidence

580
00:31:37,504 --> 00:31:40,637
is that there was
a major, major solar outburst.

581
00:31:40,681 --> 00:31:42,639
The Sun essentially erupted.

582
00:31:42,683 --> 00:31:44,990
This caused, in a flash,

583
00:31:45,033 --> 00:31:49,255
the glaciers to melt
virtually instantaneously.

584
00:31:49,298 --> 00:31:52,040
It caused evaporation of water.

585
00:31:52,084 --> 00:31:54,738
This not only led
to the rising sea levels,

586
00:31:54,782 --> 00:31:58,525
flooding the coastal areas
and torrential rains.

587
00:31:58,568 --> 00:32:03,095
We have physical evidence of
this in the geological record.

588
00:32:04,313 --> 00:32:05,749
NARRATOR:
Could the Book of Enoch

589
00:32:05,793 --> 00:32:07,577
overturn everything we know

590
00:32:07,621 --> 00:32:10,232
about the history of life
on our planet?

591
00:32:10,276 --> 00:32:12,669
Did Enoch intend
to make a record

592
00:32:12,713 --> 00:32:15,194
of extraterrestrial
intervention on Earth

593
00:32:15,237 --> 00:32:18,675
for future generations
of humans to discover?

594
00:32:18,719 --> 00:32:21,722
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes

595
00:32:21,765 --> 00:32:24,377
and suggest
there are still chapters

596
00:32:24,420 --> 00:32:26,422
we have yet to uncover.

597
00:32:26,466 --> 00:32:28,990
Chapters that may be hidden

598
00:32:29,034 --> 00:32:31,775
within the Great Pyramid.

599
00:32:38,695 --> 00:32:40,741
TSOUKALOS:
The pyramids were built

600
00:32:40,784 --> 00:32:43,657
Here on the Giza Plateau

601
00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:45,398
stands the oldest

602
00:32:45,441 --> 00:32:48,096
of the Seven Wonders
of the Ancient World:

603
00:32:48,140 --> 00:32:50,707
the Great Pyramid.

604
00:32:50,751 --> 00:32:54,798
But ancient astronaut theorists
suspect this awesome structure

605
00:32:54,842 --> 00:32:58,977
is even older than Egyptologists
have proposed.

606
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:00,891
Mainstream archaeologists

607
00:33:00,935 --> 00:33:04,156
date the Great Pyramid
to 2500 BC

608
00:33:04,199 --> 00:33:06,593
and suggest
it was built as a tomb

609
00:33:06,636 --> 00:33:08,421
for the pharaoh Khufu.

610
00:33:08,464 --> 00:33:11,685
However, according
to a 14th century account

611
00:33:11,728 --> 00:33:14,993
written by Islamic historian
Ibrahim al-Maqrizi,

612
00:33:15,036 --> 00:33:19,040
the Pyramid of Giza was built
thousands of years earlier...

613
00:33:19,084 --> 00:33:22,087
before the event described
in both the Hebrew Bible

614
00:33:22,130 --> 00:33:25,133
and the Book of Enoch
as "the Great Flood."

615
00:33:25,177 --> 00:33:27,744
VON DANIKEN:
Now what is very,
very astonishing,

616
00:33:27,788 --> 00:33:31,052
there are many other
old historian books,

617
00:33:31,096 --> 00:33:32,532
especially Arabian historians,

618
00:33:32,575 --> 00:33:34,925
which nobody knows
in the Western world.

619
00:33:34,969 --> 00:33:38,277
They say the Great Pyramid
was constructed

620
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,715
before the Great Flood,
by a pharaoh

621
00:33:41,758 --> 00:33:43,325
with the name of Saurid.

622
00:33:43,369 --> 00:33:47,112
And they precisely say
Saurid is the same figure,

623
00:33:47,155 --> 00:33:50,550
which the Hebrew community
calls Enoch.

624
00:33:51,594 --> 00:33:53,205
NARRATOR:
Enoch?

625
00:33:53,248 --> 00:33:55,163
The builder
of the Great Pyramid?

626
00:33:55,207 --> 00:33:58,775
Could such an incredible notion
be true?

627
00:33:58,819 --> 00:34:02,301
The Islamic text
goes on to detail

628
00:34:02,344 --> 00:34:05,304
the pyramid's construction,
which it says was made possible

629
00:34:05,347 --> 00:34:08,089
by otherworldly beings.

630
00:34:08,133 --> 00:34:10,874
TSOUKALOS:
According to al-Maqrizi,

631
00:34:10,918 --> 00:34:15,792
the pyramids were built in order
to preserve knowledge

632
00:34:15,836 --> 00:34:18,447
that was given to the Egyptians

633
00:34:18,491 --> 00:34:21,320
by the so-called gods,
the so-called Watchers,

634
00:34:21,363 --> 00:34:23,104
the guardians of the sky.

635
00:34:23,148 --> 00:34:26,107
These blocks were
levitated and essentially

636
00:34:26,151 --> 00:34:29,023
walked themselves into position.

637
00:34:30,285 --> 00:34:31,591
NARRATOR:
Was the Great Pyramid

638
00:34:31,634 --> 00:34:33,593
actually built by Enoch

639
00:34:33,636 --> 00:34:36,857
using extraterrestrial
technology?

640
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:39,033
While it may sound far-fetched,

641
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:42,036
the notion that
the pharaoh Khufu was behind

642
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:43,646
the construction of the pyramid

643
00:34:43,690 --> 00:34:46,084
has come under great scrutiny.

644
00:34:47,781 --> 00:34:52,133
In 1837, a British colonel,
who became an archeologist

645
00:34:52,177 --> 00:34:56,659
named Richard Howard-Vyse
used dynamite

646
00:34:56,703 --> 00:35:01,229
to get up into the king's
chamber of the Great Pyramid.

647
00:35:01,273 --> 00:35:03,492
This was something
that had not been entered

648
00:35:03,536 --> 00:35:06,278
by other archeologists before.

649
00:35:06,321 --> 00:35:08,541
When he got
into these upper chambers,

650
00:35:08,584 --> 00:35:13,328
he then apparently
claimed that he found, uh,

651
00:35:13,372 --> 00:35:15,852
some hieroglyphic cartouches

652
00:35:15,896 --> 00:35:19,726
that mentioned
the pharaoh Khufu.

653
00:35:19,769 --> 00:35:22,511
Egyptologists knew
when Khufu lived,

654
00:35:22,555 --> 00:35:26,167
he lived 2500, roughly, BC.

655
00:35:26,211 --> 00:35:29,170
And because of that,
by extension,

656
00:35:29,214 --> 00:35:31,564
that became
the time line and the date

657
00:35:31,607 --> 00:35:33,783
of the Great Pyramid's
construction,

658
00:35:33,827 --> 00:35:36,090
according
to mainstream Egyptology.

659
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:39,267
NARRATOR:
Colonel Vyse's expedition

660
00:35:39,311 --> 00:35:42,575
to the Great Pyramid
cost $1.3 million,

661
00:35:42,618 --> 00:35:46,535
a figure equal
to $35 million today.

662
00:35:46,579 --> 00:35:49,886
Due to the cost, Vyse was
under tremendous pressure

663
00:35:49,930 --> 00:35:51,975
to make a major discovery--

664
00:35:52,019 --> 00:35:54,326
like finding hard evidence
of who commissioned

665
00:35:54,369 --> 00:35:56,806
the building of the pyramid.

666
00:35:56,850 --> 00:35:59,287
But new evidence has been found
that some believe

667
00:35:59,331 --> 00:36:02,769
puts Vyse's discovery
into question.

668
00:36:02,812 --> 00:36:05,641
Recently it has been discovered

669
00:36:05,685 --> 00:36:09,558
by going through, uh,
Vyse's journals

670
00:36:09,602 --> 00:36:12,257
that he in his journals
actually says

671
00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:17,175
that there were no hieroglyphs
within this chamber.

672
00:36:17,218 --> 00:36:20,613
And so it is suspected
that Vyse did in fact

673
00:36:20,656 --> 00:36:25,008
forge this cartouche
of the pharaoh Khufu.

674
00:36:25,052 --> 00:36:28,098
NARRATOR:
Egyptologists have
also pointed out

675
00:36:28,142 --> 00:36:29,709
that during the time of Khufu,

676
00:36:29,752 --> 00:36:32,364
cartouches were
written vertically,

677
00:36:32,407 --> 00:36:35,193
but the cartouche Colonel Vyse
claimed to have discovered

678
00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:37,891
was written horizontally.

679
00:36:37,934 --> 00:36:42,200
And no mummy was ever found
inside the Great Pyramid.

680
00:36:43,375 --> 00:36:45,333
VON DANIKEN:
Especially in Egyptology,

681
00:36:45,377 --> 00:36:48,945
many archeologists believe
that they know everything,

682
00:36:48,989 --> 00:36:51,165
and that their knowledge is
a true base.

683
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:55,213
In reality, there are
thousands of open questions,

684
00:36:55,256 --> 00:36:58,607
starting with the builder
of the Great Pyramid.

685
00:36:58,651 --> 00:37:01,262
NARRATOR:
In March 2016,

686
00:37:01,306 --> 00:37:03,438
the Great Pyramid of Giza

687
00:37:03,482 --> 00:37:06,528
presented researchers
with yet another mystery.

688
00:37:06,572 --> 00:37:09,270
Archeologists examining
the ancient structure

689
00:37:09,314 --> 00:37:12,273
with a new technology
known as muography,

690
00:37:12,317 --> 00:37:14,449
made a shocking discovery--

691
00:37:14,493 --> 00:37:17,409
a mysterious chamber
inside the structure

692
00:37:17,452 --> 00:37:20,890
that is as large
as the Statue of Liberty.

693
00:37:20,934 --> 00:37:22,544
CHILDRESS:
It's always exciting when

694
00:37:22,588 --> 00:37:24,938
Egyptologists are
making new discoveries

695
00:37:24,981 --> 00:37:28,246
inside of the Great Pyramid
or other pyramids.

696
00:37:29,725 --> 00:37:31,205
And now they're saying
that there is

697
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:35,731
a 30-meter void
inside the pyramid.

698
00:37:35,775 --> 00:37:38,647
So the whole idea
that these pyramids are

699
00:37:38,691 --> 00:37:41,955
just simple tombs for a pharaoh,

700
00:37:41,998 --> 00:37:44,174
Egyptologists now realize

701
00:37:44,218 --> 00:37:46,786
that they're
far more complicated.

702
00:37:48,004 --> 00:37:51,225
This new room is only
the beginning of it.

703
00:37:51,269 --> 00:37:54,402
I'm sure within the next months,
or at least two years,

704
00:37:54,446 --> 00:37:58,014
they will discover more rooms
in the Great Pyramid.

705
00:37:58,058 --> 00:38:02,062
I personally think that
the Great Pyramid in Egypt

706
00:38:02,105 --> 00:38:05,413
holds some sort of time capsule.

707
00:38:05,457 --> 00:38:08,851
In my opinion, we will
find mummies in there.

708
00:38:08,895 --> 00:38:10,853
Mummies of
before the Great Flood.

709
00:38:10,897 --> 00:38:13,552
And we will find
writings in there.

710
00:38:13,595 --> 00:38:18,296
Writings of Enoch,
who tell us how it all was.

711
00:38:18,339 --> 00:38:20,820
Enoch knew
that all these writings

712
00:38:20,863 --> 00:38:22,996
would be found
in the far future.

713
00:38:24,737 --> 00:38:29,045
NARRATOR:
A time capsule hidden within
the Great Pyramid of Giza?

714
00:38:29,089 --> 00:38:32,962
When the Great Pyramid of Egypt
is fully excavated,

715
00:38:33,006 --> 00:38:35,661
could it be found to hold
undeniable proof

716
00:38:35,704 --> 00:38:37,532
that the Book of Enoch documents

717
00:38:37,576 --> 00:38:41,014
extraterrestrial intervention
on Earth?

718
00:38:41,057 --> 00:38:44,496
And might it reveal
even more profound truths

719
00:38:44,539 --> 00:38:47,934
about the history of humankind?

720
00:38:47,977 --> 00:38:51,111
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,

721
00:38:51,154 --> 00:38:54,767
the answer is a resounding yes.

722
00:38:54,810 --> 00:38:57,291
And they say further
examination of the Bible

723
00:38:57,335 --> 00:39:00,338
may indicate exactly
what information

724
00:39:00,381 --> 00:39:02,601
is about to be discovered.

725
00:39:08,171 --> 00:39:09,912
NARRATOR:
The Book of Enoch.

726
00:39:09,956 --> 00:39:12,350
Chapter 91.

727
00:39:14,482 --> 00:39:16,745
After journeying
through the heavenly realm

728
00:39:16,789 --> 00:39:18,660
and returning to Earth,

729
00:39:18,704 --> 00:39:21,010
Enoch is preparing
to be taken back up

730
00:39:21,054 --> 00:39:23,143
into the heavens once again.

731
00:39:23,186 --> 00:39:26,451
Before he leaves, Enoch gathers
together his family

732
00:39:26,494 --> 00:39:29,802
and shares with them
a startling prophecy.

733
00:39:31,456 --> 00:39:33,414
He assembles the whole family.

734
00:39:33,458 --> 00:39:36,156
The oldest of his son
was Methuselah,

735
00:39:36,199 --> 00:39:38,071
the biblical Methuselah.

736
00:39:39,594 --> 00:39:42,162
Methuselah asked his father,

737
00:39:42,205 --> 00:39:45,513
"Enoch, will I see you again?"

738
00:39:45,557 --> 00:39:49,343
And Enoch said, "The guardians
of the sky told me

739
00:39:49,387 --> 00:39:52,868
"I will return to this planet,

740
00:39:52,912 --> 00:39:57,046
"but thousands of years
will have passed.

741
00:39:57,090 --> 00:40:00,789
So we will not see
each other again."

742
00:40:00,833 --> 00:40:04,706
NARRATOR:
The concept of a divine figure
leaving and returning to Earth

743
00:40:04,750 --> 00:40:08,406
is echoed across almost
every major religion.

744
00:40:09,885 --> 00:40:11,409
HUSSAIN:
In the Jewish tradition,

745
00:40:11,452 --> 00:40:14,542
there's the expectation
the prophet Elijah

746
00:40:14,586 --> 00:40:19,417
will return before the Messiah
and bring in this age of peace

747
00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:23,159
and righteousness that ushers in
the end of time.

748
00:40:23,203 --> 00:40:26,815
In the Christian tradition,
the return of Jesus,

749
00:40:26,859 --> 00:40:30,515
who for Christians
is the Messiah.

750
00:40:30,558 --> 00:40:32,952
In the Islamic tradition, you
know, it's either the Al-Mahdi,

751
00:40:32,995 --> 00:40:35,476
the divinely guided one, or
it's Muhammad who will return.

752
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,654
In a sense, this ushers in
a brand-new age,

753
00:40:39,698 --> 00:40:41,656
a brand-new relationship
with God,

754
00:40:41,700 --> 00:40:44,137
a brand-new way
of existing in the world.

755
00:40:44,180 --> 00:40:47,314
LAYNE LITTLE: There's
a body of Hindu scriptures

756
00:40:47,357 --> 00:40:49,098
known as the Puranas
and these tell

757
00:40:49,142 --> 00:40:52,145
about the tenth
and final incarnation

758
00:40:52,188 --> 00:40:53,842
of the god Vishnu

759
00:40:53,886 --> 00:40:55,409
that comes at the end

760
00:40:55,453 --> 00:40:59,369
of this present cycle of time.

761
00:40:59,413 --> 00:41:01,676
These prophecies speak
of this Messianic figure

762
00:41:01,720 --> 00:41:04,505
riding upon
the clouds of heaven,

763
00:41:04,549 --> 00:41:08,161
accompanied
by the armies of heaven.

764
00:41:08,204 --> 00:41:09,945
This suggests that we're talking

765
00:41:09,989 --> 00:41:14,080
about some kind
of a vehicle or a craft.

766
00:41:14,123 --> 00:41:18,171
TSOUKALOS:
This whole concept
of the return of the gods--

767
00:41:18,214 --> 00:41:21,087
well, who are we waiting for?

768
00:41:21,130 --> 00:41:25,483
It will not be any of these
ancient "saintly figures"

769
00:41:25,526 --> 00:41:28,442
or-or holy figures, but it
will be extraterrestrials.

770
00:41:30,096 --> 00:41:31,750
NARRATOR:
Is it possible that

771
00:41:31,793 --> 00:41:34,100
humankind's most sacred
religious texts

772
00:41:34,143 --> 00:41:36,798
document
extraterrestrial intervention

773
00:41:36,842 --> 00:41:38,974
on Earth?

774
00:41:40,585 --> 00:41:42,587
And might the teachings of Enoch

775
00:41:42,630 --> 00:41:44,197
have been meant
to prepare humanity

776
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:49,158
for the day when we will awaken
to a profound new reality?

777
00:41:49,202 --> 00:41:54,033
Perhaps the Book of Enoch
has yet to be completed.

778
00:41:54,076 --> 00:41:57,079
And when the final chapter
is written,

779
00:41:57,123 --> 00:42:00,996
we will know that it is not
a story of angels...

780
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,696
but of our alien ancestors.

781
