Narrator: Ancient monuments
2
00:00:04,911 --> 00:00:07,479
deep under water...
3
00:00:07,514 --> 00:00:09,481
A once-thriving metropolis now
4
00:00:09,516 --> 00:00:12,651
half a mile under the sea...
5
00:00:12,685 --> 00:00:15,454
Lost cities submerged for
6
00:00:15,488 --> 00:00:18,457
thousands of years...
7
00:00:18,525 --> 00:00:19,892
David Childress: All over the
8
00:00:19,926 --> 00:00:21,460
world, there are sunken cities.
9
00:00:21,494 --> 00:00:23,095
There's more than 200 known
10
00:00:23,129 --> 00:00:24,029
sunken cities in the
11
00:00:24,097 --> 00:00:26,632
Mediterranean alone.
12
00:00:26,666 --> 00:00:27,933
Graham Hancock: What we're
13
00:00:27,967 --> 00:00:29,301
looking at are the remains of
14
00:00:29,369 --> 00:00:32,070
cities at a time when mainstream
15
00:00:32,105 --> 00:00:33,639
archeology tells us there were
16
00:00:33,673 --> 00:00:35,107
no cities, uh, anywhere in the
17
00:00:35,175 --> 00:00:36,542
world.
18
00:00:36,576 --> 00:00:38,076
Narrator: Are underwater
19
00:00:38,111 --> 00:00:40,078
monuments examples of mankind's
20
00:00:40,113 --> 00:00:41,813
earliest civilizations?
21
00:00:41,848 --> 00:00:44,917
Or is there evidence of skills
22
00:00:44,951 --> 00:00:46,485
far beyond that of primitive
23
00:00:46,519 --> 00:00:49,254
man?
24
00:00:49,322 --> 00:00:51,056
And if so, where did it
25
00:00:51,124 --> 00:00:51,790
come from?
26
00:00:51,824 --> 00:00:52,758
Giorgio Tsoulakos: The native
27
00:00:52,792 --> 00:00:55,427
legends are very clear... that
28
00:00:55,495 --> 00:00:58,063
something or someone landed,
29
00:00:58,097 --> 00:01:00,232
and then, knowledge, all of a
30
00:01:00,266 --> 00:01:01,767
sudden, spread.
31
00:01:01,801 --> 00:01:02,868
Jorge Luis Delgado Mamani:
32
00:01:02,902 --> 00:01:04,236
There is many, many legends
33
00:01:04,304 --> 00:01:06,605
with lights coming from under
34
00:01:06,673 --> 00:01:08,073
the water.
35
00:01:08,107 --> 00:01:09,241
Childress: You start to get
36
00:01:09,309 --> 00:01:11,076
the idea that there's some kind
37
00:01:11,110 --> 00:01:14,079
of ancient alien underwater
38
00:01:14,147 --> 00:01:15,414
base...
39
00:01:15,448 --> 00:01:17,049
Narrator: Millions of people
40
00:01:17,116 --> 00:01:18,784
around the world believe we
41
00:01:18,851 --> 00:01:20,485
have been visited in the past
42
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,554
by extraterrestrial beings.
43
00:01:22,589 --> 00:01:25,290
What if it were true?
44
00:01:25,325 --> 00:01:28,126
Did ancient aliens really help
45
00:01:28,161 --> 00:01:30,829
to shape our history?
46
00:01:30,863 --> 00:01:33,665
If so, what evidence lies deep
47
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,368
underwater?

00:02:05,698 --> 00:02:07,299
Narrator: Covering more than
50
00:02:07,333 --> 00:02:09,935
71% of the planet, the Earth's
51
00:02:10,003 --> 00:02:12,104
oceans are a vast and largely
52
00:02:12,171 --> 00:02:14,439
unexplored mystery.
53
00:02:14,474 --> 00:02:17,643
For most of recorded history,
54
00:02:17,677 --> 00:02:20,112
man could only guess at what
55
00:02:20,146 --> 00:02:22,114
lay beneath the ocean's surface.
56
00:02:22,181 --> 00:02:24,483
But new technologies are
57
00:02:24,517 --> 00:02:26,485
reaching new depths.
58
00:02:26,552 --> 00:02:28,387
Researchers around the world
59
00:02:28,421 --> 00:02:30,656
are finding the unexpected...
60
00:02:30,723 --> 00:02:33,525
underwater complexes and
61
00:02:33,559 --> 00:02:35,093
sophisticated monuments that
62
00:02:35,161 --> 00:02:36,395
defy the conventional
63
00:02:36,429 --> 00:02:39,197
historical record.
64
00:02:39,198 --> 00:02:41,366
Michael Cremo: There are
65
00:02:41,401 --> 00:02:45,103
remains of urban civilizations
66
00:02:45,171 --> 00:02:48,106
on parts of the Earth that were
67
00:02:48,174 --> 00:02:51,643
exposed on land 10,000 and
68
00:02:51,678 --> 00:03:05,257
more years ago.
69
00:03:05,325 --> 00:03:07,159
Possible.
70
00:03:07,193 --> 00:03:09,528
Narrator: Scientific theory
71
00:03:09,562 --> 00:03:12,331
suggests that during Earth's
72
00:03:12,398 --> 00:03:14,700
last Ice Age, ocean levels were
73
00:03:14,734 --> 00:03:16,134
once much lower than they are
74
00:03:16,169 --> 00:03:18,136
today.
75
00:03:18,171 --> 00:03:19,538
Hancock: You have to envisage
76
00:03:19,605 --> 00:03:21,239
a world in which there are two
77
00:03:21,274 --> 00:03:23,975
mile-deep ice caps sitting on
78
00:03:24,043 --> 00:03:26,411
top of northern Europe and
79
00:03:26,446 --> 00:03:28,246
North America, in which are
80
00:03:28,281 --> 00:03:30,148
accumulated enormous quantities
81
00:03:30,216 --> 00:03:32,284
of water.
82
00:03:32,285 --> 00:03:34,519
And we know that this water
83
00:03:34,587 --> 00:03:37,522
began to melt about 21,000 years
84
00:03:37,590 --> 00:03:40,325
ago, and finished melting about
85
00:03:40,393 --> 00:03:43,161
10,000 years ago.
86
00:03:43,196 --> 00:03:44,896
Narrator: As a result, rich
87
00:03:44,964 --> 00:03:46,531
coastal lands were slowly
88
00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:49,234
submerged by rising sea levels.
89
00:03:49,268 --> 00:03:50,802
Hancock: Ten million square
90
00:03:50,870 --> 00:03:53,238
miles of land was flooded all
91
00:03:53,306 --> 00:03:54,706
around the world.
92
00:03:54,774 --> 00:03:55,874
That's roughly the size of
93
00:03:55,942 --> 00:03:57,976
Europe and China added
94
00:03:58,044 --> 00:03:59,711
together... were just rubbed
95
00:03:59,779 --> 00:04:01,780
from the record.
96
00:04:01,781 --> 00:04:03,982
They just disappear from
97
00:04:04,050 --> 00:04:05,150
the story.
98
00:04:05,218 --> 00:04:06,752
And in my opinion, archeology
99
00:04:06,786 --> 00:04:08,420
is not doing enough work to
100
00:04:08,488 --> 00:04:09,755
investigate those lost and
101
00:04:09,789 --> 00:04:12,157
submerged lands.
102
00:04:12,225 --> 00:04:13,425
Narrator: While much of the
103
00:04:13,459 --> 00:04:14,426
ocean's floor remains
104
00:04:14,494 --> 00:04:16,862
unexplored, for thousands of
105
00:04:16,896 --> 00:04:18,430
years, philosophers and
106
00:04:18,464 --> 00:04:20,499
scientists have been drawn to
107
00:04:20,566 --> 00:04:21,933
one of the greatest mysteries
108
00:04:21,968 --> 00:04:24,569
of the sea, the legend of the
109
00:04:24,604 --> 00:04:26,571
lost city of Atlantis.
110
00:04:28,808 --> 00:04:30,776
Childress: It's been said
111
00:04:30,810 --> 00:04:32,744
that more books have been
112
00:04:32,779 --> 00:04:35,414
written about Atlantis than any
113
00:04:35,448 --> 00:04:37,416
other subject.
114
00:04:37,450 --> 00:04:39,251
But most of what we know comes
115
00:04:39,318 --> 00:04:40,385
from the Greek philosopher
116
00:04:40,420 --> 00:04:43,221
Plato, who wrote two books about
117
00:04:43,256 --> 00:04:44,589
Atlantis, the Timaeus and the
118
00:04:44,624 --> 00:04:46,625
Critias.
119
00:04:46,626 --> 00:04:48,427
>> Narrator: Written in 360 BC,
120
00:04:48,461 --> 00:04:50,762
Plato described Atlantis as a
121
00:04:50,797 --> 00:04:53,231
highly advanced city, ringed by
122
00:04:53,266 --> 00:04:54,933
concentric walls, which
123
00:04:54,967 --> 00:04:56,935
flourished 9,000 years before
124
00:04:56,969 --> 00:04:58,470
his own time.
125
00:04:58,504 --> 00:05:01,473
>> Cremo: There are descriptions
126
00:05:01,507 --> 00:05:05,610
of huge palaces for kings.
127
00:05:05,678 --> 00:05:09,114
It's stated that Atlantis had
128
00:05:09,148 --> 00:05:11,850
huge naval forces, which it
129
00:05:11,884 --> 00:05:13,752
used to conquer other parts of
130
00:05:13,786 --> 00:05:15,020
the world.
131
00:05:15,054 --> 00:05:17,956
It was an urban civilization.
132
00:05:18,024 --> 00:05:21,126
According to the ancient Greek
133
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,229
texts, Atlantis was connected
134
00:05:24,297 --> 00:05:26,231
with extraterrestrials from the
135
00:05:26,299 --> 00:05:27,132
beginning.
136
00:05:27,166 --> 00:05:29,334
It was founded by the Greek god
137
00:05:29,402 --> 00:05:32,838
Poseidon.
138
00:05:32,872 --> 00:05:36,308
Poseidon can be regarded as an
139
00:05:36,375 --> 00:05:38,677
extraterrestrial in the sense
140
00:05:38,711 --> 00:05:42,747
of not being of this Earth.
141
00:05:42,748 --> 00:05:45,016
>> Erich Von Daniken: Poseidon,
142
00:05:45,051 --> 00:05:46,485
one of the extraterrestrial,
143
00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,554
found a pretty, wonderful, young
144
00:05:49,589 --> 00:05:51,857
woman-girl on Earth.
145
00:05:51,858 --> 00:05:53,458
And he took this woman-girl,
146
00:05:53,493 --> 00:05:55,494
made her pregnant.
147
00:05:55,561 --> 00:05:58,029
And to protect his new family,
148
00:05:58,097 --> 00:06:01,032
he founded Atlantis.
149
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:02,667
>> Narrator: According to the
150
00:06:02,735 --> 00:06:04,769
legend, after a failed attempt
151
00:06:04,837 --> 00:06:06,872
to invade Athens, disaster
152
00:06:06,906 --> 00:06:08,673
struck the island.
153
00:06:08,741 --> 00:06:10,041
>> Childress: According to
154
00:06:10,076 --> 00:06:12,410
Plato, Atlantis was destroyed in
155
00:06:12,445 --> 00:06:14,045
a day and a night...
156
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,414
(thunder booms)
157
00:06:16,449 --> 00:06:19,317
(waves crashing)
158
00:06:19,352 --> 00:06:21,753
...a cataclysmic destruction
159
00:06:21,787 --> 00:06:24,556
that sank the entire island and
160
00:06:24,590 --> 00:06:26,758
its capital city.
161
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,294
Some researchers believe that
162
00:06:29,362 --> 00:06:32,030
the Atlantians somehow
163
00:06:32,098 --> 00:06:35,100
destroyed themselves.
164
00:06:35,101 --> 00:06:36,401
>> Narrator: According to Plato,
165
00:06:36,435 --> 00:06:38,670
Atlantis was located in front
166
00:06:38,738 --> 00:06:40,405
of the Pillars of Hercules, a
167
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:42,607
location beyond what some
168
00:06:42,675 --> 00:06:44,342
scholars attribute to modern
169
00:06:44,410 --> 00:06:45,610
Gibraltar.
170
00:06:45,645 --> 00:06:46,511
>> Childress: And to the
171
00:06:46,579 --> 00:06:48,079
ancients, as they left the
172
00:06:48,147 --> 00:06:50,782
Mediterranean Sea to go into the
173
00:06:50,816 --> 00:06:55,120
larger Atlantic Ocean, this was
174
00:06:55,154 --> 00:06:57,055
where they went beyond the
175
00:06:57,123 --> 00:06:58,790
Pillars of Hercules between
176
00:06:58,824 --> 00:07:00,258
Spain and Morocco.
177
00:07:00,293 --> 00:07:02,661
>> Narrator: Across the
178
00:07:02,695 --> 00:07:04,529
Atlantic lies the island chain
179
00:07:04,597 --> 00:07:06,798
of the Bahamas, just southeast
180
00:07:06,866 --> 00:07:09,601
of Florida.
181
00:07:09,635 --> 00:07:12,604
Here in 1968, archaeologist
182
00:07:12,672 --> 00:07:15,407
J. Manson Valentine believed he
183
00:07:15,441 --> 00:07:17,142
found part of Atlantis when he
184
00:07:17,176 --> 00:07:18,977
discovered an unusual rock
185
00:07:19,045 --> 00:07:20,412
formation off the coast of
186
00:07:20,446 --> 00:07:23,148
North Bimini Island.
187
00:07:23,182 --> 00:07:25,116
>> John Van Auken: It's only in
188
00:07:25,151 --> 00:07:27,052
about 12 to 18 feet of water, so
189
00:07:27,119 --> 00:07:29,588
you can, uh, view it easily.
190
00:07:29,622 --> 00:07:31,890
At first, scientists thought
191
00:07:31,958 --> 00:07:34,426
this was just beach rock, but
192
00:07:34,460 --> 00:07:36,161
then several other scientists
193
00:07:36,195 --> 00:07:38,430
exploring the Bimini Road
194
00:07:38,464 --> 00:07:40,131
noticed that the beach rock was
195
00:07:40,199 --> 00:07:41,666
on top of other beach rock,
196
00:07:41,701 --> 00:07:43,501
with balancing stones wedged in
197
00:07:43,569 --> 00:07:44,903
between.
198
00:07:44,904 --> 00:07:46,972
And nature doesn't do that; man
199
00:07:47,006 --> 00:07:48,506
does.
200
00:07:48,541 --> 00:07:50,475
And they realized this is a
201
00:07:50,509 --> 00:07:52,210
harbor, a breakwater for a
202
00:07:52,244 --> 00:07:54,512
harbor.
203
00:07:54,513 --> 00:07:56,514
From the shallow edges of
204
00:07:56,582 --> 00:07:59,050
Bimini all the way to the Gulf
205
00:07:59,085 --> 00:08:01,486
Stream in 300 feet of water, we
206
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,588
have found many fascinating
207
00:08:03,656 --> 00:08:06,424
complexities that look like
208
00:08:06,492 --> 00:08:08,326
remnants of ancient cities or
209
00:08:08,361 --> 00:08:11,429
structures... roads, pathways,
210
00:08:11,497 --> 00:08:13,865
structures covered in coral.
211
00:08:13,933 --> 00:08:15,967
>> Narrator: Could the Bimini
212
00:08:16,035 --> 00:08:18,670
ruins be remnants of Atlantis?
213
00:08:18,704 --> 00:08:20,872
And if so, could these roads
214
00:08:20,906 --> 00:08:22,774
lead to other sites buried
215
00:08:22,842 --> 00:08:26,311
under sand and water?
216
00:08:26,345 --> 00:08:28,780
In the year 2000, while mapping
217
00:08:28,848 --> 00:08:30,482
the seafloor off the western
218
00:08:30,516 --> 00:08:32,517
coast of Cuba, a research
219
00:08:32,585 --> 00:08:34,152
expedition led by
220
00:08:34,186 --> 00:08:35,687
Russian-Canadian oceanographer
221
00:08:35,755 --> 00:08:37,222
Paulina Zelitsky spotted
222
00:08:37,256 --> 00:08:39,557
symmetrical stone structures
223
00:08:39,592 --> 00:08:41,192
deep below the water.
224
00:08:41,227 --> 00:08:43,495
Remarkably, they were over a
225
00:08:43,529 --> 00:08:44,929
half mile down.
226
00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:46,097
>> Paulina Zelitsky: Divers
227
00:08:46,132 --> 00:08:47,666
cannot do this kind of, uh,
228
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:49,501
investigation, so we have to
229
00:08:49,535 --> 00:08:52,470
use remote operating vehicle.
230
00:08:52,505 --> 00:08:53,838
And this vehicle is equipped
231
00:08:53,906 --> 00:08:55,473
with video cameras and
232
00:08:55,508 --> 00:08:57,475
manipulators.
233
00:08:57,510 --> 00:08:59,644
And it controlled, uh, from the
234
00:08:59,712 --> 00:09:02,447
deck of the ship.
235
00:09:02,481 --> 00:09:04,883
>> Narrator: The expedition was
236
00:09:04,917 --> 00:09:07,519
also armed with side-scan sonar
237
00:09:07,553 --> 00:09:10,021
equipment used to create images
238
00:09:10,089 --> 00:09:11,823
of large areas of the sea floor
239
00:09:11,891 --> 00:09:14,059
and underwater objects.
240
00:09:14,093 --> 00:09:15,460
>> Zelitsky: I was in control
241
00:09:15,528 --> 00:09:17,062
room on board of the ship, and
242
00:09:17,096 --> 00:09:19,464
we were receiving that image
243
00:09:19,532 --> 00:09:21,066
coming from side-scan.
244
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,534
And this is just one of the
245
00:09:22,568 --> 00:09:24,002
many other images that we were
246
00:09:24,070 --> 00:09:27,806
obtaining of, the 80, uh,
247
00:09:27,873 --> 00:09:32,043
structures made of large stones
248
00:09:32,078 --> 00:09:35,680
placed one on top of another.
249
00:09:38,084 --> 00:09:39,050
>> Linda Moulton Howe: Well,
250
00:09:39,085 --> 00:09:40,685
what do they end up with?
251
00:09:40,753 --> 00:09:44,756
It is an image that shows these
252
00:09:44,790 --> 00:09:47,792
rectangular 90-degree angles,
253
00:09:47,860 --> 00:09:50,862
over and over and over, on very
254
00:09:50,930 --> 00:09:52,497
large structures that seemed to
255
00:09:52,565 --> 00:09:54,566
have wide avenues.
256
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,934
>> Narrator: The exploration
257
00:09:55,968 --> 00:09:58,336
found huge stone blocks in
258
00:09:58,370 --> 00:10:00,839
pyramid shapes, others more
259
00:10:00,873 --> 00:10:02,040
circular.
260
00:10:02,074 --> 00:10:04,676
Most were gigantic, reaching 16
261
00:10:04,710 --> 00:10:06,511
feet in height and weighing
262
00:10:06,545 --> 00:10:08,313
several tons.
263
00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:11,516
30 geometric structures emerged,
264
00:10:11,584 --> 00:10:13,518
appearing to be the remains of
265
00:10:13,552 --> 00:10:15,887
streets, buildings, tunnels and
266
00:10:15,955 --> 00:10:18,490
pyramids, all at a depth of
267
00:10:18,524 --> 00:10:21,593
2,200 feet below the surface of
268
00:10:21,627 --> 00:10:23,695
the water.
269
00:10:23,763 --> 00:10:24,763
>> Andrew Collins: We might well
270
00:10:24,797 --> 00:10:27,565
have here the evidence of a
271
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,034
prehistoric culture that would
272
00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:31,669
probably go back tens of
273
00:10:31,704 --> 00:10:33,338
thousands of years, and that's
274
00:10:33,405 --> 00:10:36,975
very exciting indeed.
275
00:10:36,976 --> 00:10:37,942
>> Narrator: Using dating
276
00:10:37,977 --> 00:10:40,145
techniques based on the presence
277
00:10:40,179 --> 00:10:42,380
of nearby volcanic ash,
278
00:10:42,414 --> 00:10:43,948
geologists estimated the
279
00:10:44,016 --> 00:10:46,518
underwater city sank over 6,000
280
00:10:46,585 --> 00:10:48,520
years ago.
281
00:10:48,587 --> 00:10:50,755
>> Howe: Could this be, a half
282
00:10:50,790 --> 00:10:53,224
mile down, some part of the
283
00:10:53,292 --> 00:10:56,928
sunken Atlantis from 9,000,
284
00:10:56,962 --> 00:10:58,196
10,000 yrs ago that Plato
285
00:10:58,230 --> 00:11:00,932
talked about?
286
00:11:00,966 --> 00:11:02,100
>> Collins: Well, the Atlantis
287
00:11:02,134 --> 00:11:04,569
myth is integrally related with
288
00:11:04,603 --> 00:11:06,104
the area of the Caribbean and
289
00:11:06,172 --> 00:11:09,274
the Bahamas, in particular Cuba.
290
00:11:09,308 --> 00:11:10,375
Plato talks about an island
291
00:11:10,409 --> 00:11:11,543
empire.
292
00:11:11,577 --> 00:11:12,610
He's probably talking about
293
00:11:12,645 --> 00:11:14,546
dozens of different islands of
294
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:16,881
different sizes, not just in the
295
00:11:16,916 --> 00:11:19,751
western Atlantic, but probably
296
00:11:19,785 --> 00:11:20,852
stretching out right into the
297
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,887
central Atlantic area.
298
00:11:22,922 --> 00:11:24,923
>> Narrator: Both the Cuban and
299
00:11:24,990 --> 00:11:26,825
the Bahaman ruins lie on the
300
00:11:26,859 --> 00:11:28,626
western edge of the Bermuda
301
00:11:28,661 --> 00:11:31,196
Triangle, an area of ocean
302
00:11:31,263 --> 00:11:33,932
covering over 500,000 square
303
00:11:33,999 --> 00:11:36,100
miles, known for magnetic
304
00:11:36,168 --> 00:11:38,203
anomalies, extraterrestrial
305
00:11:38,270 --> 00:11:40,271
sightings and unexplained
306
00:11:40,339 --> 00:11:41,906
disappearances of aircraft and
307
00:11:41,941 --> 00:11:44,375
ships.
308
00:11:44,443 --> 00:11:45,743
Could there be a connection
309
00:11:45,811 --> 00:11:47,979
between Atlantis and the area
310
00:11:48,013 --> 00:11:51,349
known as the Devil's Triangle?
311
00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:52,817
>> Bill Birnes: On the edge of
312
00:11:52,852 --> 00:11:55,553
the Bermuda Triangle, there are
313
00:11:55,621 --> 00:11:57,989
underwater ruins of the ancient
314
00:11:58,023 --> 00:11:59,624
city of Atlantis, the
315
00:11:59,658 --> 00:12:01,826
prehistoric city of Atlantis.
316
00:12:01,861 --> 00:12:03,561
So, yes, there is a theory that
317
00:12:03,629 --> 00:12:07,098
Atlantis lies, not near Greece,
318
00:12:07,132 --> 00:12:09,634
but in the Bermuda Triangle.
319
00:12:11,971 --> 00:12:13,171
>> Narrator: If Plato's texts
320
00:12:13,205 --> 00:12:15,607
are true, then other Greek myths
321
00:12:15,641 --> 00:12:17,008
may provide a hint of the true
322
00:12:17,076 --> 00:12:19,177
fate of Atlantis.
323
00:12:19,211 --> 00:12:21,279
One myth tells of the Titan
324
00:12:21,347 --> 00:12:25,617
goddess named Asteria, who fell
325
00:12:25,651 --> 00:12:26,818
from the sky and became an
326
00:12:26,886 --> 00:12:28,820
island.
327
00:12:28,888 --> 00:12:30,188
>> Tsoulakos: In ancient Greece,
328
00:12:30,222 --> 00:12:32,957
we have a number of myths which
329
00:12:32,992 --> 00:12:36,160
describe islands... bronze,
330
00:12:36,195 --> 00:12:38,630
gleaming islands... that fell
331
00:12:38,697 --> 00:12:40,698
from the sky and landed in
332
00:12:40,733 --> 00:12:42,233
water.
333
00:12:42,234 --> 00:12:44,636
I don't think that Atlantis,
334
00:12:44,670 --> 00:12:47,705
therefore, was an actual
335
00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:50,708
stationary, physical island.
336
00:12:50,743 --> 00:12:53,411
Atlantis, according to Plato,
337
00:12:53,445 --> 00:12:57,348
disappeared in one night with a
338
00:12:57,416 --> 00:13:00,218
lot of fire and a lot of smoke.
339
00:13:00,252 --> 00:13:02,520
See, I don't think that Atlantis
340
00:13:02,554 --> 00:13:03,521
sank.
341
00:13:03,555 --> 00:13:07,525
I think Atlantis lifted off.
342
00:13:12,398 --> 00:13:13,698
>> Narrator: Was Atlantis a safe
343
00:13:13,732 --> 00:13:16,067
haven for ancient aliens before
344
00:13:16,135 --> 00:13:18,703
the end of Earth's last Ice Age?
345
00:13:18,771 --> 00:13:21,973
And if so, could there be other
346
00:13:22,007 --> 00:13:23,908
alien cities submerged deep
347
00:13:23,976 --> 00:13:26,244
underwater?
348
00:13:28,250 --> 00:13:30,384
Narrator: Yonaguni, Japan.
349
00:13:30,419 --> 00:13:33,020
This small island is at the
350
00:13:33,088 --> 00:13:34,355
westernmost tip of the
351
00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:38,192
Japanese archipelago.
352
00:13:38,226 --> 00:13:39,827
Scholars believe the first
353
00:13:39,861 --> 00:13:41,962
inhabitants migrated here from
354
00:13:42,030 --> 00:13:43,798
Southeast Asia during
355
00:13:43,832 --> 00:13:46,801
prehistoric times.
356
00:13:52,808 --> 00:13:56,844
In 1987, in nearby waters, dive
357
00:13:56,878 --> 00:14:00,114
tour orator Kihachiro Aratake
358
00:14:00,182 --> 00:14:03,351
made a shocking discovery.
359
00:14:03,385 --> 00:14:05,586
A massive complex of stone
360
00:14:05,654 --> 00:14:08,356
formations lay hidden a mere 60
361
00:14:08,390 --> 00:14:11,492
feet beneath the ocean surface.
362
00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:13,761
Experts call it one of the
363
00:14:13,829 --> 00:14:15,029
greatest discoveries in the
364
00:14:15,097 --> 00:14:16,030
history of underwater
365
00:14:16,098 --> 00:14:20,034
archeology.
366
00:14:22,104 --> 00:14:23,804
Hancock: What's intriguing
367
00:14:23,839 --> 00:14:26,807
about the complex at Yonaguni is
368
00:14:26,842 --> 00:14:28,376
that there are a whole range of
369
00:14:28,410 --> 00:14:29,910
monuments, pretty much side by
370
00:14:29,945 --> 00:14:32,580
side, and this, to my eye, looks
371
00:14:32,614 --> 00:14:34,815
unmistakably to be the work of
372
00:14:34,850 --> 00:14:36,384
human beings, not the random
373
00:14:36,451 --> 00:14:37,818
action of the ocean on
374
00:14:37,853 --> 00:14:41,822
differential layers of stone.
375
00:14:46,862 --> 00:14:48,396
Masaaki Kimura (translated):
376
00:14:48,463 --> 00:14:50,264
There are several reasons why I
377
00:14:50,298 --> 00:14:51,565
think this is not a natural
378
00:14:51,633 --> 00:14:53,167
formation.
379
00:14:53,201 --> 00:14:56,637
Some tools and engraved stones
380
00:14:56,671 --> 00:15:00,574
are found at the site.
381
00:15:00,609 --> 00:15:02,910
Because of these things, there
382
00:15:02,978 --> 00:15:04,545
is no doubt that this is made
383
00:15:04,579 --> 00:15:07,715
artificially.
384
00:15:07,749 --> 00:15:09,383
Narrator: Submerged beneath
385
00:15:09,418 --> 00:15:11,886
60 to 100 feet of water, the
386
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,287
largest of the underwater
387
00:15:13,321 --> 00:15:15,823
formations resemble a massive,
388
00:15:15,857 --> 00:15:18,192
five-layered stepped pyramid,
389
00:15:18,226 --> 00:15:21,929
the size of two football fields.
390
00:15:21,963 --> 00:15:22,930
David Wilcock: You see
391
00:15:22,964 --> 00:15:26,567
unambiguous carvings that
392
00:15:26,601 --> 00:15:29,703
clearly are geometric in nature,
393
00:15:29,738 --> 00:15:31,205
tons of right angles.
394
00:15:31,239 --> 00:15:32,840
We see channels that you can
395
00:15:32,908 --> 00:15:34,275
walk through with stairwells at
396
00:15:34,342 --> 00:15:35,376
the end that are perfectly
397
00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:37,978
rectangular in shape.
398
00:15:37,979 --> 00:15:38,913
Hancock: There are places
399
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:40,881
where you find megaliths piled
400
00:15:40,916 --> 00:15:42,616
on top of one another to create
401
00:15:42,651 --> 00:15:44,919
a tunnel through which you can
402
00:15:44,986 --> 00:15:45,920
swim.
403
00:15:45,987 --> 00:15:47,621
There is a set of megaliths
404
00:15:47,656 --> 00:15:49,457
positioned side by side against
405
00:15:49,491 --> 00:15:51,625
the side of the cliff.
406
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:53,461
There's a gigantic human face
407
00:15:53,528 --> 00:15:55,996
carved underwater.
408
00:15:56,031 --> 00:15:57,097
Kimura (translated): There is
409
00:15:57,165 --> 00:16:00,568
a stone that inscribes a big
410
00:16:00,635 --> 00:16:02,736
face, about seven meters in
411
00:16:02,804 --> 00:16:03,737
height.
412
00:16:03,805 --> 00:16:06,106
Our first impression was that it
413
00:16:06,174 --> 00:16:07,741
looked a lot like the Moai on
414
00:16:07,776 --> 00:16:11,445
Easter Island.
415
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:13,180
Then we began to realize that
416
00:16:13,215 --> 00:16:15,082
it strongly resembled the sphinx
417
00:16:15,150 --> 00:16:17,284
which guarded the pyramids, and
418
00:16:17,319 --> 00:16:19,086
we wondered, "Is that the
419
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,454
function the face is serving
420
00:16:20,522 --> 00:16:21,455
"here?"
421
00:16:21,523 --> 00:16:23,190
Hancock: It's the whole
422
00:16:23,225 --> 00:16:24,692
combination of all these
423
00:16:24,726 --> 00:16:26,260
structures together which
424
00:16:26,294 --> 00:16:28,162
convinced me that we're looking
425
00:16:28,196 --> 00:16:31,165
at a... at a ceremonial complex.
426
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:33,367
The mystery surrounding the
427
00:16:33,401 --> 00:16:35,469
Yonaguni underwater structure
428
00:16:35,504 --> 00:16:38,005
is, when did it go underwater?
429
00:16:38,073 --> 00:16:41,008
The geological evidence is that
430
00:16:41,042 --> 00:16:42,910
it was submerged during the
431
00:16:42,978 --> 00:16:46,914
meltdown of the last Ice Age.
432
00:16:53,054 --> 00:16:53,988
Tsoulakos: All around the
433
00:16:54,055 --> 00:16:56,190
world, whether it is France,
434
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:59,994
India or Japan, there are
435
00:17:00,061 --> 00:17:01,996
man-made structures that lie
436
00:17:02,030 --> 00:17:03,731
underwater.
437
00:17:03,732 --> 00:17:05,966
Two ways how our ancestors could
438
00:17:06,001 --> 00:17:07,801
have done this.
439
00:17:07,836 --> 00:17:11,338
Either they had scuba gear...
440
00:17:11,373 --> 00:17:12,740
I don't think so...
441
00:17:12,774 --> 00:17:15,643
or this stuff was built when the
442
00:17:15,677 --> 00:17:19,079
ocean levels were lower, and
443
00:17:19,147 --> 00:17:22,383
that was over 14,000 years ago,
444
00:17:22,450 --> 00:17:24,618
and 14,000 years ago, according
445
00:17:24,686 --> 00:17:26,253
to mainstream archeology, we
446
00:17:26,288 --> 00:17:28,055
were just dwelling in caves,
447
00:17:28,123 --> 00:17:29,490
hunter-gatherers.
448
00:17:29,524 --> 00:17:31,225
Narrator: Could the Yonaguni
449
00:17:31,259 --> 00:17:32,326
structures have been built by
450
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:34,929
such primitive people?
451
00:17:34,963 --> 00:17:37,064
And what evidence exists of
452
00:17:37,132 --> 00:17:38,132
the people who inhabited this
453
00:17:38,166 --> 00:17:40,200
island?
454
00:17:40,201 --> 00:17:41,435
Kimura (translated): Human
455
00:17:41,469 --> 00:17:43,771
fossils were found, so I'm sure
456
00:17:43,838 --> 00:17:45,072
there were people living on the
457
00:17:45,106 --> 00:17:47,441
island, but I'm not sure if they
458
00:17:47,475 --> 00:17:48,842
had the technology to create
459
00:17:48,910 --> 00:17:50,210
structures, or anything like
460
00:17:50,278 --> 00:17:52,279
this.
461
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,480
Hancock: It's not so much the
462
00:17:53,515 --> 00:17:54,848
question of could the stone have
463
00:17:54,916 --> 00:17:56,750
been chipped away and removed.
464
00:17:56,818 --> 00:17:59,119
It's a question of the vision,
465
00:17:59,154 --> 00:18:01,121
of the scale of the complex,
466
00:18:01,156 --> 00:18:03,557
of thinking in those kind of
467
00:18:03,592 --> 00:18:04,458
terms.
468
00:18:04,492 --> 00:18:06,560
And we know of no other, uh,
469
00:18:06,595 --> 00:18:08,262
Stone Age culture that thought
470
00:18:08,296 --> 00:18:10,297
in those kind of terms, of
471
00:18:10,365 --> 00:18:13,467
creating a gigantic, seemingly
472
00:18:13,501 --> 00:18:17,204
ceremonial complex.
473
00:18:17,272 --> 00:18:18,472
Narrator: If, according to
474
00:18:18,506 --> 00:18:20,641
scholars, the ancient Japanese
475
00:18:20,675 --> 00:18:22,276
people could not have built this
476
00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:24,912
monument, who did?
477
00:18:24,980 --> 00:18:28,115
And how did it get here?
478
00:18:28,116 --> 00:18:29,483
Birnes: The speculation is
479
00:18:29,517 --> 00:18:31,452
that extraterrestrials created
480
00:18:31,486 --> 00:18:33,253
the Yonaguni monument.
481
00:18:33,288 --> 00:18:34,755
The engineering is just beyond
482
00:18:34,789 --> 00:18:36,523
the capacity of Stone Age
483
00:18:36,558 --> 00:18:40,828
civilizations.
484
00:18:40,862 --> 00:18:42,162
Narrator: Ancient astronaut
485
00:18:42,197 --> 00:18:44,264
theorists also believe the key
486
00:18:44,299 --> 00:18:46,533
to the Yonaguni mystery is found
487
00:18:46,568 --> 00:18:51,105
in its global positioning.
488
00:18:51,139 --> 00:18:53,641
Strangely, the complex lies
489
00:18:53,708 --> 00:18:55,843
within an area of the Pacific
490
00:18:55,877 --> 00:18:57,344
long suspected of
491
00:18:57,379 --> 00:19:00,814
extraterrestrial activity.
492
00:19:00,882 --> 00:19:02,816
It's called the Dragon's
493
00:19:02,884 --> 00:19:06,353
Triangle.
494
00:19:06,388 --> 00:19:07,821
Wilcock: Just south of Japan,
495
00:19:07,889 --> 00:19:09,456
you have a mysterious area
496
00:19:09,491 --> 00:19:11,091
called the Dragon's Triangle,
497
00:19:11,159 --> 00:19:12,726
which is very similar to the
498
00:19:12,761 --> 00:19:13,727
Bermuda Triangle, because you
499
00:19:13,762 --> 00:19:15,629
have planes that have
500
00:19:15,664 --> 00:19:16,930
disappeared from the air, ships
501
00:19:16,998 --> 00:19:18,198
that have disappeared from the
502
00:19:18,233 --> 00:19:19,099
ocean.
503
00:19:19,167 --> 00:19:21,001
In fact, Japan had declared
504
00:19:21,036 --> 00:19:23,470
this a disaster area.
505
00:19:25,573 --> 00:19:28,175
Don't sail through it.
506
00:19:28,209 --> 00:19:29,910
Don't fly through it.
507
00:19:29,944 --> 00:19:31,812
Stay the heck away, because if
508
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,181
you go in there, terrible things
509
00:19:34,249 --> 00:19:36,183
can happen to you.
510
00:19:39,421 --> 00:19:41,155
Birnes: In ancient Japan, and
511
00:19:41,189 --> 00:19:42,456
even into the relatively modern
512
00:19:42,524 --> 00:19:44,358
era, there are stories about the
513
00:19:44,392 --> 00:19:46,527
Dragon Sea, in which objects
514
00:19:46,561 --> 00:19:48,195
rise out of the water and sail
515
00:19:48,263 --> 00:19:50,264
through the air.
516
00:19:50,265 --> 00:19:51,899
In ancient Japan, these were
517
00:19:51,966 --> 00:19:54,902
winged monsters breathing fire.
518
00:19:57,272 --> 00:19:59,173
In more modern times, these
519
00:19:59,207 --> 00:20:00,541
took on the appearance of actual
520
00:20:00,575 --> 00:20:01,508
machines.
521
00:20:01,543 --> 00:20:02,710
When you compare those
522
00:20:02,744 --> 00:20:06,180
descriptions of these devices
523
00:20:06,214 --> 00:20:07,815
with the description that
524
00:20:07,882 --> 00:20:10,784
Columbus gave of a craft nearing
525
00:20:10,819 --> 00:20:12,419
the Bermuda Triangle actually
526
00:20:12,454 --> 00:20:14,054
rising out of the water, a light
527
00:20:14,089 --> 00:20:15,723
that followed the ship, you
528
00:20:15,757 --> 00:20:17,691
realize there's a similarity in
529
00:20:17,726 --> 00:20:19,193
both of these locations to
530
00:20:19,227 --> 00:20:21,995
things, objects, that are in the
531
00:20:22,063 --> 00:20:24,164
water and rise out of the water
532
00:20:24,232 --> 00:20:26,533
and fly through the air.
533
00:20:26,601 --> 00:20:28,235
Narrator: But why are the two
534
00:20:28,269 --> 00:20:30,003
submerged structures found
535
00:20:30,071 --> 00:20:31,438
within the perimeter of these
536
00:20:31,506 --> 00:20:33,273
strange regions of the planet
537
00:20:33,341 --> 00:20:35,175
where so much unusual activity
538
00:20:35,243 --> 00:20:37,077
occurs?
539
00:20:37,112 --> 00:20:38,545
Is it coincidence that the
540
00:20:38,613 --> 00:20:40,547
Earth's 25th parallel north
541
00:20:40,582 --> 00:20:42,449
cuts through both the Bermuda
542
00:20:42,517 --> 00:20:44,351
Triangle and the Dragon's
543
00:20:44,419 --> 00:20:47,187
Triangle?
544
00:20:47,255 --> 00:20:48,889
Birnes: They lie on a plane
545
00:20:48,923 --> 00:20:50,958
along the same line, and both of
546
00:20:50,992 --> 00:20:53,627
them have the same magnetic
547
00:20:53,661 --> 00:20:56,730
phenomena, in which compass
548
00:20:56,765 --> 00:20:57,965
bearings are lost and
549
00:20:57,999 --> 00:21:00,768
instruments go down.
550
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:03,003
People wonder if there's a real,
551
00:21:03,037 --> 00:21:06,039
strange UFO connection.
552
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:07,808
Gian Quasar: If UFO's and
553
00:21:07,842 --> 00:21:09,610
flying saucers do exist, then we
554
00:21:09,644 --> 00:21:11,078
should suspect that they could
555
00:21:11,146 --> 00:21:12,246
originally come from an ancient
556
00:21:12,313 --> 00:21:13,514
super civilization.
557
00:21:13,548 --> 00:21:14,948
It makes you wonder if flying
558
00:21:14,983 --> 00:21:16,617
saucers, UFO's, whatever you
559
00:21:16,684 --> 00:21:18,619
want to call them, actually use
560
00:21:18,653 --> 00:21:19,787
the area of the Triangle as
561
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:21,255
their major base, and perhaps
562
00:21:21,289 --> 00:21:22,523
are even coming back to the
563
00:21:22,557 --> 00:21:24,258
remnants of a civilization that
564
00:21:24,292 --> 00:21:27,027
they were familiar with.
565
00:21:27,028 --> 00:21:28,328
Narrator: What if the sunken
566
00:21:28,363 --> 00:21:30,264
monuments at Yonaguni and near
567
00:21:30,298 --> 00:21:33,801
Cuba had alien origins?
568
00:21:33,835 --> 00:21:35,269
Might they have been used as
569
00:21:35,336 --> 00:21:37,504
alien bases?
570
00:21:37,539 --> 00:21:38,605
And if we believe
571
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,240
extraterrestrials functioned on
572
00:21:40,308 --> 00:21:42,342
land, could they have also
573
00:21:42,410 --> 00:21:44,778
functioned underwater?
574
00:21:44,813 --> 00:21:46,713
Could there be more evidence
575
00:21:46,748 --> 00:21:49,883
lying in the vast Pacific?
576
00:21:52,579 --> 00:21:54,080
Narrator: As an island
577
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:55,715
nation, it should come as no
578
00:21:55,749 --> 00:21:57,550
mystery that much of Japan's
579
00:21:57,584 --> 00:21:59,318
rich history is tied to the
580
00:21:59,353 --> 00:22:02,054
waters of the Pacific Ocean.
581
00:22:02,089 --> 00:22:03,622
But although many of Japan's
582
00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:05,524
legends are largely unknown to
583
00:22:05,592 --> 00:22:08,094
the West, some are drawing the
584
00:22:08,161 --> 00:22:10,062
attention of ancient astronaut
585
00:22:10,097 --> 00:22:12,064
theorists.
586
00:22:14,601 --> 00:22:16,635
One such legend dates back to
587
00:22:16,670 --> 00:22:19,905
1803 and traces its origins
588
00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:24,210
to a beach north of Tokyo.
589
00:22:24,211 --> 00:22:26,679
Wilcock: Allegedly, a craft
590
00:22:26,713 --> 00:22:30,549
that was quite large in size
591
00:22:30,617 --> 00:22:33,085
washed up on the shore in Japan.
592
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,154
Kazuo Tanaka: A strange round
593
00:22:35,188 --> 00:22:37,356
ship drifted ashore in this
594
00:22:37,391 --> 00:22:39,325
area.
595
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,400
Wilcock: The woman did not
596
00:22:47,467 --> 00:22:48,601
speak any language they could
597
00:22:48,635 --> 00:22:49,635
identify.
598
00:22:49,669 --> 00:22:50,903
There were written inscriptions
599
00:22:50,937 --> 00:22:52,271
inside her craft that they
600
00:22:52,305 --> 00:22:53,973
could not identify, and she's
601
00:22:54,007 --> 00:22:56,275
clutching this box that she
602
00:22:56,309 --> 00:22:58,544
didn't want anybody to touch.
603
00:23:22,002 --> 00:23:23,436
Narrator: Known as the legend
604
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:25,337
of the Utsuro Bune, or "hollow
605
00:23:25,372 --> 00:23:27,640
ship," the details of the story
606
00:23:27,707 --> 00:23:29,275
have puzzled historians for
607
00:23:29,342 --> 00:23:31,076
centuries.
608
00:23:31,111 --> 00:23:32,545
Where, for example, did the
609
00:23:32,612 --> 00:23:34,146
mysterious hollow ship come
610
00:23:34,181 --> 00:23:35,548
from?
611
00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:36,816
Could it have come from the
612
00:23:36,883 --> 00:23:38,918
area of the submerged Yonaguni
613
00:23:38,985 --> 00:23:40,553
monument?
614
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:42,922
Who was the strange woman?
615
00:23:42,989 --> 00:23:44,557
And what were the contents of
616
00:23:44,624 --> 00:23:46,158
the box she guarded so
617
00:23:46,193 --> 00:23:47,626
carefully?
618
00:23:47,661 --> 00:23:49,595
Was it a human head?
619
00:23:49,629 --> 00:23:51,597
Or was it, as some ancient
620
00:23:51,631 --> 00:23:53,599
astronaut theorists believe, a
621
00:23:53,633 --> 00:23:55,734
type of brain or other form of
622
00:23:55,802 --> 00:23:58,804
extraterrestrial intelligence?
623
00:23:58,872 --> 00:24:01,006
If so, could it have been
624
00:24:01,041 --> 00:24:02,641
intended as a gift to the early
625
00:24:02,676 --> 00:24:04,810
Japanese by an ancient space
626
00:24:04,878 --> 00:24:08,647
traveler?
627
00:24:08,715 --> 00:24:09,715
Wilcock: There's five
628
00:24:09,749 --> 00:24:11,183
different drawings that have
629
00:24:11,218 --> 00:24:12,351
survived from completely
630
00:24:12,419 --> 00:24:13,819
different regions of Japan.
631
00:24:13,854 --> 00:24:15,054
They're almost identical to
632
00:24:15,088 --> 00:24:17,022
modern UFO reports.
633
00:24:36,743 --> 00:24:37,943
Narrator: As evidence to
634
00:24:37,978 --> 00:24:40,012
support their claims, ancient
635
00:24:40,046 --> 00:24:41,680
astronaut theorists point to
636
00:24:41,748 --> 00:24:43,582
early Japanese carvings and
637
00:24:43,650 --> 00:24:45,684
statuary, each suggesting a
638
00:24:45,719 --> 00:24:47,686
variety of extraterrestrial
639
00:24:47,721 --> 00:24:49,722
encounters.
640
00:24:49,723 --> 00:24:51,190
Tsoulakos: This is a Dogu
641
00:24:51,224 --> 00:24:54,126
figure, and it comes from Japan.
642
00:24:54,194 --> 00:24:55,394
And even to the untrained eye,
643
00:24:55,428 --> 00:24:57,963
you look at this, and it's as if
644
00:24:57,998 --> 00:25:00,332
this being is wearing some type
645
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,401
of a suit... with a helmet, some
646
00:25:02,435 --> 00:25:05,204
goggles, on the back there are
647
00:25:05,238 --> 00:25:08,841
all these weird buckles and
648
00:25:08,875 --> 00:25:11,744
circles, you know, straps.
649
00:25:11,745 --> 00:25:14,146
Very similar to a modern-day
650
00:25:14,214 --> 00:25:15,681
space suit.
651
00:25:15,715 --> 00:25:18,117
In my opinion, this is a
652
00:25:18,184 --> 00:25:20,119
likeness of a possible
653
00:25:20,186 --> 00:25:21,387
extraterrestrial that visited
654
00:25:21,421 --> 00:25:24,390
Earth thousands of years ago.
655
00:25:26,526 --> 00:25:27,860
Narrator: Archaeologists have
656
00:25:27,928 --> 00:25:29,295
catalogued the existence of
657
00:25:29,329 --> 00:25:32,298
more than 15,000 Dogu figures
658
00:25:32,365 --> 00:25:33,933
made during the Jomon period of
659
00:25:33,967 --> 00:25:36,735
prehistoric Japan, dating from
660
00:25:36,770 --> 00:25:39,672
approximately 14,000 to 300
661
00:25:39,706 --> 00:25:41,674
years B.C.
662
00:25:41,741 --> 00:25:44,043
But could, as ancient astronaut
663
00:25:44,077 --> 00:25:46,412
theorists believe, these strange
664
00:25:46,446 --> 00:25:48,914
Dogu figures really be a
665
00:25:48,949 --> 00:25:51,317
primitive interpretation of a
666
00:25:51,384 --> 00:25:53,052
pressurized space suit or diving
667
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,454
apparel?
668
00:25:55,488 --> 00:25:57,122
Tsoulakos: The story behind
669
00:25:57,157 --> 00:25:59,191
those Dogu figures is very
670
00:25:59,225 --> 00:26:01,193
clear, and anyone can go and
671
00:26:01,227 --> 00:26:02,761
read translations of the ancient
672
00:26:02,829 --> 00:26:04,697
texts that the Dogu, a long time
673
00:26:04,764 --> 00:26:08,133
ago, descended from the sky and
674
00:26:08,168 --> 00:26:10,035
taught the first Japanese people
675
00:26:10,103 --> 00:26:13,472
in various disciplines.
676
00:26:13,506 --> 00:26:14,406
Wilcock: And the whole
677
00:26:14,441 --> 00:26:16,942
Japanese culture, including the
678
00:26:16,977 --> 00:26:18,544
kimono, the tea ceremony, the
679
00:26:18,578 --> 00:26:21,046
use of wasabi and ginger for
680
00:26:21,114 --> 00:26:23,749
eating sushi, the way that they
681
00:26:23,783 --> 00:26:26,085
build their architecture, their
682
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,286
written language, everything
683
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,121
they say came from these
684
00:26:29,155 --> 00:26:31,290
visitors, from these gods, from
685
00:26:31,324 --> 00:26:32,458
the universe.
686
00:26:32,492 --> 00:26:33,492
Von Daniken: The pictures
687
00:26:33,526 --> 00:26:35,761
shows beings who look like
688
00:26:35,795 --> 00:26:36,762
astronauts.
689
00:26:36,830 --> 00:26:38,297
They are dressed like an
690
00:26:38,331 --> 00:26:39,565
astronaut.
691
00:26:39,633 --> 00:26:40,933
They have the helmet as an
692
00:26:41,001 --> 00:26:41,767
astronaut.
693
00:26:41,835 --> 00:26:43,168
They have some strange tools in
694
00:26:43,203 --> 00:26:44,937
their hands, tools which we
695
00:26:45,005 --> 00:26:47,006
do not understand.
696
00:26:47,007 --> 00:26:48,474
Now, there is a link.
697
00:26:48,541 --> 00:26:51,543
The Japanese call it "Dogus."
698
00:26:51,544 --> 00:26:54,279
In North America, we have still
699
00:26:54,314 --> 00:26:58,117
the Hopi tribe, in Arizona, and
700
00:26:58,151 --> 00:26:59,818
the Hopi Indians are still
701
00:26:59,853 --> 00:27:04,123
making today kachina dolls.
702
00:27:06,226 --> 00:27:09,628
Kachina dolls look similar to
703
00:27:09,663 --> 00:27:13,832
the Japanese Dogu figures.
704
00:27:13,867 --> 00:27:16,835
Further back, in the Sahara
705
00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:20,472
Desert, Africa, we found cave
706
00:27:20,540 --> 00:27:24,176
paintings.
707
00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:25,744
When you see the picture,
708
00:27:25,812 --> 00:27:27,913
you see definitely an astronaut
709
00:27:27,981 --> 00:27:28,747
suit.
710
00:27:28,815 --> 00:27:29,748
No doubt.
711
00:27:29,816 --> 00:27:31,183
Absolutely.
712
00:27:31,217 --> 00:27:33,652
Now, you compare these cave
713
00:27:33,687 --> 00:27:36,121
paintings with the kachina dolls
714
00:27:36,156 --> 00:27:38,190
of the Hopi, and with the Dogu
715
00:27:38,258 --> 00:27:39,525
of Japan.
716
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:42,795
You have one line.
717
00:27:42,829 --> 00:27:44,329
Narrator: Do the mysterious
718
00:27:44,364 --> 00:27:46,765
Dogu figures provide tangible
719
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,500
evidence of extraterrestrial
720
00:27:48,535 --> 00:27:50,769
encounters in Japan's ancient
721
00:27:50,804 --> 00:27:53,605
past?
722
00:27:53,673 --> 00:27:54,873
And does the legend of the
723
00:27:54,908 --> 00:27:57,342
Utsuro Bune suggest that the
724
00:27:57,410 --> 00:27:59,878
Earth's oceans may be hiding
725
00:27:59,913 --> 00:28:01,980
even more proof of alien
726
00:28:02,015 --> 00:28:04,983
contact?
727
00:28:05,051 --> 00:28:07,352
Perhaps the answer can be found
728
00:28:07,420 --> 00:28:09,488
deep in the waters off the coast
729
00:28:09,522 --> 00:28:12,491
of India.
730
00:28:14,204 --> 00:28:17,140
Narrator: In 2001,
731
00:28:17,207 --> 00:28:19,742
researchers from India's Oceanic
732
00:28:19,777 --> 00:28:22,011
Institute detected anomalies on
733
00:28:22,046 --> 00:28:23,312
the bottom of the Gulf of
734
00:28:23,380 --> 00:28:24,313
Khambhat, seven miles from
735
00:28:24,381 --> 00:28:26,315
shore.
736
00:28:26,383 --> 00:28:27,417
Hancock: They had been
737
00:28:27,484 --> 00:28:28,751
commissioned by the Indian
738
00:28:28,786 --> 00:28:31,387
government to do a survey of
739
00:28:31,422 --> 00:28:32,422
pollution in the Gulf of
740
00:28:32,489 --> 00:28:35,024
Khambhat up in the northwest of
741
00:28:35,059 --> 00:28:36,759
India.
742
00:28:36,827 --> 00:28:38,661
And they were not expecting to
743
00:28:38,729 --> 00:28:40,229
find anything except a mess
744
00:28:40,264 --> 00:28:41,764
down there.
745
00:28:41,799 --> 00:28:43,866
But suddenly, their side-scan
746
00:28:43,901 --> 00:28:46,769
sonar started returning images
747
00:28:46,804 --> 00:28:50,106
of regular structures.
748
00:28:50,107 --> 00:28:51,741
Narrator: The images revealed
749
00:28:51,775 --> 00:28:53,576
an enormous network of stone
750
00:28:53,610 --> 00:28:55,745
buildings, now shrouded in mud
751
00:28:55,779 --> 00:28:58,047
and sand, and covering a
752
00:28:58,082 --> 00:29:00,750
distance of five square miles.
753
00:29:00,784 --> 00:29:01,751
Hancock: What we're looking
754
00:29:01,819 --> 00:29:03,386
at in the Gulf of Khambhat are
755
00:29:03,420 --> 00:29:05,288
the remains of cities.
756
00:29:05,322 --> 00:29:07,023
There's actually two of them.
757
00:29:07,091 --> 00:29:09,025
And it turns out that they are
758
00:29:09,093 --> 00:29:10,560
positioned on the side of
759
00:29:10,594 --> 00:29:12,028
ancient river channels.
760
00:29:12,096 --> 00:29:13,563
They look lime cities that have
761
00:29:13,597 --> 00:29:14,764
been submerged for a very long
762
00:29:14,832 --> 00:29:17,133
time, at a time when mainstream
763
00:29:17,167 --> 00:29:18,768
archeology tells us there were
764
00:29:18,836 --> 00:29:21,904
no cities anywhere in the world.
765
00:29:21,939 --> 00:29:22,905
Narrator: Powerful
766
00:29:22,940 --> 00:29:24,740
crosscurrents made it nearly
767
00:29:24,775 --> 00:29:27,743
impossible to dive the 170 feet
768
00:29:27,778 --> 00:29:29,178
to the bottom.
769
00:29:29,213 --> 00:29:32,115
Still, scientists retrieved
770
00:29:32,182 --> 00:29:35,084
dozens of artifacts, including
771
00:29:35,119 --> 00:29:38,087
wood and pottery shards.
772
00:29:38,122 --> 00:29:40,423
Cremo: Some of the dates on
773
00:29:40,457 --> 00:29:43,059
some of the human artifacts that
774
00:29:43,093 --> 00:29:45,428
were brought up extended as far
775
00:29:45,462 --> 00:29:49,065
back as 32,000 years.
776
00:29:49,099 --> 00:29:52,168
But the oceanographers concluded
777
00:29:52,202 --> 00:29:54,270
that the area had been covered
778
00:29:54,338 --> 00:29:57,974
by water about 9,000 years ago.
779
00:29:57,975 --> 00:29:59,775
So this city had apparently
780
00:29:59,810 --> 00:30:04,080
existed from 32,000 to about
781
00:30:04,114 --> 00:30:06,816
9,000 years ago.
782
00:30:06,884 --> 00:30:08,784
Childress: Mainstream
783
00:30:08,819 --> 00:30:10,686
scholars today claim that
784
00:30:10,721 --> 00:30:11,921
ancient Indian civilization
785
00:30:11,989 --> 00:30:14,157
only goes back 4,000 or 5,000
786
00:30:14,224 --> 00:30:15,791
years.
787
00:30:15,859 --> 00:30:18,494
Yet, Hindu scholars themselves
788
00:30:18,529 --> 00:30:20,496
say that Hindu civilization is
789
00:30:20,531 --> 00:30:22,798
going back, uh, many tens of
790
00:30:22,833 --> 00:30:23,799
thousands, even hundreds of
791
00:30:23,834 --> 00:30:26,369
thousands of years.
792
00:30:26,370 --> 00:30:27,603
Narrator: Might the ruins
793
00:30:27,638 --> 00:30:29,805
below the Gulf of Khambhat prove
794
00:30:29,873 --> 00:30:32,074
the Hindu scholars right?
795
00:30:32,142 --> 00:30:33,442
Another recent discovery may
796
00:30:33,510 --> 00:30:36,445
support their claims.
797
00:30:38,849 --> 00:30:42,218
200 miles to the northwest lies
798
00:30:42,252 --> 00:30:45,154
the modern city of Dwaraka.
799
00:30:45,222 --> 00:30:47,523
Archaeologists digging deep
800
00:30:47,591 --> 00:30:50,126
under the city found signs of a
801
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,794
settlement once inundated by
802
00:30:51,828 --> 00:30:54,263
the sea.
803
00:30:54,331 --> 00:30:56,699
Inspired by this clue, they
804
00:30:56,767 --> 00:30:59,135
began searching for more ruins
805
00:30:59,169 --> 00:31:02,138
in waters just off the coast.
806
00:31:04,541 --> 00:31:07,810
In only 70 feet of water, divers
807
00:31:07,844 --> 00:31:10,346
discovered sandstone walls,
808
00:31:10,414 --> 00:31:12,715
cobblestone streets and evidence
809
00:31:12,749 --> 00:31:15,618
of a prosperous seaport.
810
00:31:15,686 --> 00:31:18,154
Scholars declared these ruins
811
00:31:18,188 --> 00:31:19,622
to be the remains of the
812
00:31:19,690 --> 00:31:21,324
ancient and legendary city of
813
00:31:21,358 --> 00:31:25,428
Dwaraka.
814
00:31:25,462 --> 00:31:27,897
Ancient Hindu texts explain that
815
00:31:27,931 --> 00:31:30,233
the legendary city of Dwaraka
816
00:31:30,267 --> 00:31:31,867
was said to be the dwelling
817
00:31:31,902 --> 00:31:34,704
place of Lord Krishna, a deity
818
00:31:34,738 --> 00:31:35,705
worshipped across many
819
00:31:35,739 --> 00:31:37,740
traditions of Hinduism.
820
00:31:37,741 --> 00:31:39,242
Tsoulakos: Imagine what it
821
00:31:39,276 --> 00:31:41,143
would mean for the Christian
822
00:31:41,211 --> 00:31:42,511
world to all of a sudden
823
00:31:42,546 --> 00:31:45,581
discover the actual Holy Grail,
824
00:31:45,616 --> 00:31:49,819
the actual Ark of the Covenant.
825
00:31:49,820 --> 00:31:52,154
That would be akin, for the
826
00:31:52,222 --> 00:31:54,590
Indian population, to discover
827
00:31:54,625 --> 00:31:56,525
an actual Dwaraka.
828
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,028
This was a very powerful city,
829
00:31:59,062 --> 00:32:01,764
which was ruled by Lord Krishna.
830
00:32:01,798 --> 00:32:03,065
And Krishna is still revered
831
00:32:03,100 --> 00:32:05,568
until today.
832
00:32:05,602 --> 00:32:06,869
He's one of the highest gods
833
00:32:06,903 --> 00:32:10,773
that we have in Hindu culture.
834
00:32:10,807 --> 00:32:12,408
Narrator: Hindu texts explain
835
00:32:12,476 --> 00:32:15,411
that a king named Salwa attacked
836
00:32:15,479 --> 00:32:17,046
Lord Krishna in the mythical
837
00:32:17,114 --> 00:32:18,881
Dwaraka.
838
00:32:18,949 --> 00:32:21,417
Ancient astronaut theorists
839
00:32:21,485 --> 00:32:23,252
believe the descriptions of the
840
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,788
battle suggest the use of alien
841
00:32:25,822 --> 00:32:28,591
technology and even spacecraft.
842
00:32:28,659 --> 00:32:31,294
Cremo: According to the
843
00:32:31,328 --> 00:32:33,696
ancient Sanskrit texts, with
844
00:32:33,764 --> 00:32:36,232
this spacecraft, Salwa attacked
845
00:32:36,266 --> 00:32:39,235
the city, raining down energy
846
00:32:39,303 --> 00:32:42,605
weapons that resemble lightning.
847
00:32:42,639 --> 00:32:43,973
(explosive popping and rumbling)
848
00:32:44,041 --> 00:32:46,309
He destroyed large parts of the
849
00:32:46,343 --> 00:32:48,577
city in this way
850
00:32:48,645 --> 00:32:51,714
When this happened, the king of
851
00:32:51,748 --> 00:32:54,450
the city, the god Krishna,
852
00:32:54,484 --> 00:32:58,020
responded by firing weapons at
853
00:32:58,088 --> 00:33:01,290
this spacecraft.
854
00:33:01,325 --> 00:33:02,825
The weapons are described as
855
00:33:02,859 --> 00:33:04,093
arrows, but they're not ordinary
856
00:33:04,127 --> 00:33:05,261
arrows.
857
00:33:05,295 --> 00:33:06,729
It's said that they roared like
858
00:33:06,763 --> 00:33:08,197
thunder when they were launched,
859
00:33:08,265 --> 00:33:11,300
and resembled bolts of lightning
860
00:33:11,368 --> 00:33:14,103
or rays of the sun.
861
00:33:14,137 --> 00:33:17,273
In response, it is said that the
862
00:33:17,341 --> 00:33:20,810
spacecraft began to appear in
863
00:33:20,844 --> 00:33:23,813
different places simultaneously.
864
00:33:23,847 --> 00:33:27,750
It appeared to be moving in ways
865
00:33:27,784 --> 00:33:29,452
that resemble modern
866
00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:31,987
descriptions of UFOs.
867
00:33:32,022 --> 00:33:34,290
So what I find interesting about
868
00:33:34,324 --> 00:33:36,525
this account is, there's a
869
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,628
spacecraft made of metal that is
870
00:33:39,663 --> 00:33:42,732
firing down weapons on a city on
871
00:33:42,799 --> 00:33:44,834
Earth.
872
00:33:44,868 --> 00:33:46,268
Narrator: The legend says
873
00:33:46,303 --> 00:33:47,970
that Krishna eventually departed
874
00:33:48,004 --> 00:33:50,272
Earth, and the ocean consumed
875
00:33:50,307 --> 00:33:52,641
his city of Dwaraka.
876
00:33:52,709 --> 00:33:54,910
Cremo: For many people, the
877
00:33:54,978 --> 00:33:57,747
description of fabulous ancient
878
00:33:57,814 --> 00:34:00,015
cities in the Sanskrit writings
879
00:34:00,050 --> 00:34:02,718
of India were simply mythology,
880
00:34:02,753 --> 00:34:05,788
but with the discovery of the
881
00:34:05,822 --> 00:34:08,290
remains of a sunken city off the
882
00:34:08,325 --> 00:34:10,826
coast of India in the location
883
00:34:10,861 --> 00:34:11,894
of Dwaraka, all that has
884
00:34:11,928 --> 00:34:14,897
changed.
885
00:34:18,034 --> 00:34:19,635
People are beginning to look at
886
00:34:19,703 --> 00:34:21,804
these ancient writings in a new
887
00:34:21,838 --> 00:34:24,006
light, and see them not simply
888
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,641
as mythology, but as actual
889
00:34:25,709 --> 00:34:29,011
historical records.
890
00:34:29,045 --> 00:34:31,280
Narrator: Did India's
891
00:34:31,348 --> 00:34:33,516
ancestors witness a war between
892
00:34:33,550 --> 00:34:36,352
extraterrestrial entities?
893
00:34:36,420 --> 00:34:38,354
If the mythical city cited in
894
00:34:38,388 --> 00:34:41,157
the Hindu texts turned out to be
895
00:34:41,191 --> 00:34:43,325
real, could there also be
896
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,994
evidence of Krishna and his
897
00:34:45,061 --> 00:34:47,997
supernatural powers?
898
00:34:51,401 --> 00:34:53,736
Ancient alien theorists believe
899
00:34:53,770 --> 00:34:55,638
a link between the submerged
900
00:34:55,705 --> 00:34:57,807
ruins and extraterrestrials can
901
00:34:57,874 --> 00:35:00,609
be found in another set of texts
902
00:35:00,644 --> 00:35:03,012
known as India's Sangam
903
00:35:03,079 --> 00:35:05,548
literature.
904
00:35:05,582 --> 00:35:06,882
Cremo: Sangams were
905
00:35:06,917 --> 00:35:09,718
assemblies of sages.
906
00:35:09,786 --> 00:35:11,720
It says that the first two
907
00:35:11,788 --> 00:35:14,523
Sangams took place on a sunken
908
00:35:14,558 --> 00:35:18,828
landmass called Kumari Kandam.
909
00:35:18,895 --> 00:35:21,430
This area was once above water
910
00:35:21,465 --> 00:35:23,165
thousands of years ago,
911
00:35:23,233 --> 00:35:25,634
according to the accounts, but
912
00:35:25,669 --> 00:35:28,070
it's now underwater.
913
00:35:28,104 --> 00:35:30,339
It's also interesting that these
914
00:35:30,407 --> 00:35:33,576
assemblies of sages included
915
00:35:33,610 --> 00:35:34,977
extraterrestrial beings, as
916
00:35:35,011 --> 00:35:36,612
well.
917
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,616
And this fits in with evidence
918
00:35:40,650 --> 00:35:42,451
discovered in the Gulf of
919
00:35:42,486 --> 00:35:46,455
Cambay, and off the coast of the
920
00:35:46,523 --> 00:35:49,458
present city of Dwaraka.
921
00:35:54,431 --> 00:35:56,232
Narrator: Are the
922
00:35:56,266 --> 00:35:57,633
interpretations of India's
923
00:35:57,701 --> 00:35:59,635
ancient texts proof of alien
924
00:35:59,669 --> 00:36:03,072
contact in Earth's past?
925
00:36:03,139 --> 00:36:04,807
And are the descriptions of
926
00:36:04,875 --> 00:36:07,142
gods actually descriptions of
927
00:36:07,177 --> 00:36:09,144
extraterrestrials?
928
00:36:11,114 --> 00:36:13,249
Perhaps another discovery...
929
00:36:13,316 --> 00:36:16,418
one beneath a mysterious lake...
930
00:36:16,453 --> 00:36:17,720
will yield even more
931
00:36:17,787 --> 00:36:19,855
evidence of alien visitors in
932
00:36:19,890 --> 00:36:22,351
the remote past.
933
00:36:23,549 --> 00:36:25,584
Narrator: The Andes
934
00:36:25,652 --> 00:36:28,487
Mountains, Peru.
935
00:36:28,554 --> 00:36:31,290
Here, at an elevation of 12,500
936
00:36:31,357 --> 00:36:33,625
feet, lie the dark waters of
937
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:36,094
Lake Titicaca, the highest
938
00:36:36,129 --> 00:36:37,863
navigable body of water in the
939
00:36:37,930 --> 00:36:40,432
world.
940
00:36:40,466 --> 00:36:42,601
In August of 2000, an Italian
941
00:36:42,635 --> 00:36:44,036
team of divers and
942
00:36:44,070 --> 00:36:46,204
archaeologists launched an
943
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,939
underwater investigation of the
944
00:36:47,974 --> 00:36:49,941
legendary lake.
945
00:36:50,009 --> 00:36:52,177
There, submerged under 100
946
00:36:52,211 --> 00:36:54,846
feet of water, the team
947
00:36:54,881 --> 00:36:56,815
uncovered traces of a paved
948
00:36:56,849 --> 00:36:59,184
road, a stone terrace, and a
949
00:36:59,252 --> 00:37:03,188
wall nearly a half mile long.
950
00:37:03,256 --> 00:37:05,924
For centuries, local legends
951
00:37:05,958 --> 00:37:07,392
have spoken of a lost
952
00:37:07,427 --> 00:37:10,662
underwater city called Wanaku.
953
00:37:10,730 --> 00:37:12,831
Could these ruins provide proof
954
00:37:12,865 --> 00:37:14,366
that such a city did, in fact,
955
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,902
exist?
956
00:37:16,936 --> 00:37:18,570
Then, another shocking
957
00:37:18,638 --> 00:37:20,706
discovery.
958
00:37:20,740 --> 00:37:22,908
Lying on the lake bed was a
959
00:37:22,942 --> 00:37:26,078
large, sculptured stone head.
960
00:37:26,112 --> 00:37:28,280
Could this ancient relic offer
961
00:37:28,314 --> 00:37:29,881
a clue to the origins of this
962
00:37:29,916 --> 00:37:33,018
incredible archaeological find?
963
00:37:35,455 --> 00:37:37,823
Comparisons were quickly made
964
00:37:37,890 --> 00:37:39,825
to similar stonework found at
965
00:37:39,892 --> 00:37:41,259
the nearby ancient city of
966
00:37:41,294 --> 00:37:43,795
Tiahuana, just 12 miles south
967
00:37:43,863 --> 00:37:47,065
of Lake Titicaca... a city long
968
00:37:47,100 --> 00:37:48,834
thought by ancient astronaut
969
00:37:48,901 --> 00:37:50,268
theorists to have
970
00:37:50,336 --> 00:37:53,638
extraterrestrial origins.
971
00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:55,107
Childress: When the early
972
00:37:55,174 --> 00:37:57,242
conquistadors talked to the
973
00:37:57,276 --> 00:37:59,578
local Aymara Indians they were
974
00:37:59,612 --> 00:38:02,714
told that-that giants at the
975
00:38:02,749 --> 00:38:05,050
beginning of creation had
976
00:38:05,084 --> 00:38:07,352
created Tiahuanaco.
977
00:38:07,420 --> 00:38:09,988
The Spanish, too, were amazed by
978
00:38:10,056 --> 00:38:13,058
the gigantic blocks of stone.
979
00:38:13,126 --> 00:38:15,026
They felt that the devil had
980
00:38:15,061 --> 00:38:17,696
built this building.
981
00:38:17,764 --> 00:38:19,698
Hancock: If you look at some
982
00:38:19,766 --> 00:38:21,867
of the rock cut on megalithic
983
00:38:21,901 --> 00:38:23,168
structures at the site of
984
00:38:23,236 --> 00:38:24,936
Tiahuanaco, I personally
985
00:38:24,971 --> 00:38:27,305
believe very strongly that we
986
00:38:27,340 --> 00:38:29,074
are looking at an older episode
987
00:38:29,108 --> 00:38:32,511
of construction and the traces
988
00:38:32,578 --> 00:38:34,413
of a forgotten episode in the
989
00:38:34,447 --> 00:38:37,449
human story.
990
00:38:37,450 --> 00:38:39,050
Narrator: But if the ruins
991
00:38:39,118 --> 00:38:40,419
found at the bottom of Lake
992
00:38:40,486 --> 00:38:42,888
Titicaca are from the legendary
993
00:38:42,922 --> 00:38:45,857
lost city of Wanaku, what
994
00:38:45,892 --> 00:38:47,325
happened to it?
995
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:48,860
Did it fall prey to a major
996
00:38:48,928 --> 00:38:50,429
earthquake or other natural
997
00:38:50,496 --> 00:38:52,964
disaster?
998
00:38:52,999 --> 00:38:54,599
Or was the city, as some
999
00:38:54,667 --> 00:38:55,967
ancient astronaut theorists
1000
00:38:56,002 --> 00:38:59,304
believe, deliberately flooded?
1001
00:38:59,338 --> 00:39:01,139
Childress: The more you know
1002
00:39:01,207 --> 00:39:02,674
about Lake Titicaca, the
1003
00:39:02,708 --> 00:39:05,143
stranger it gets.
1004
00:39:05,211 --> 00:39:07,579
Archeologists have problems in
1005
00:39:07,613 --> 00:39:10,248
really explaining why there are
1006
00:39:10,283 --> 00:39:11,950
sunken ruins there, because
1007
00:39:11,984 --> 00:39:14,152
they're saying that the ruins
1008
00:39:14,187 --> 00:39:16,154
aren't that old.
1009
00:39:16,189 --> 00:39:18,657
They're only 1,500 years old.
1010
00:39:18,691 --> 00:39:20,659
And that would mean that Lake
1011
00:39:20,693 --> 00:39:22,427
Titicaca has gone through a
1012
00:39:22,495 --> 00:39:25,931
number of major changes in that
1013
00:39:25,965 --> 00:39:27,132
period.
1014
00:39:27,166 --> 00:39:28,700
And it's possible that somehow
1015
00:39:28,734 --> 00:39:30,302
the lake itself and the
1016
00:39:30,336 --> 00:39:32,971
shorelines were manipulated so
1017
00:39:33,005 --> 00:39:34,406
that certain areas of Lake
1018
00:39:34,474 --> 00:39:37,209
Titicaca were flooded in a sort
1019
00:39:37,243 --> 00:39:39,778
of artificial way.
1020
00:39:39,812 --> 00:39:42,781
There is a type of seahorse
1021
00:39:42,815 --> 00:39:46,284
that lives in Lake Titicaca.
1022
00:39:46,319 --> 00:39:48,787
And seahorses are coming from
1023
00:39:48,855 --> 00:39:51,189
saltwater and oceans, yet these
1024
00:39:51,224 --> 00:39:53,124
seahorses are living at
1025
00:39:53,192 --> 00:39:56,828
nearly 13,000 feet in the Andes.
1026
00:39:56,863 --> 00:39:59,498
Narrator: But just how could
1027
00:39:59,532 --> 00:40:00,732
an ancient people have
1028
00:40:00,766 --> 00:40:02,033
artificially created South
1029
00:40:02,068 --> 00:40:04,569
America's largest lake?
1030
00:40:04,604 --> 00:40:06,738
A lake that is 118 miles
1031
00:40:06,772 --> 00:40:09,174
long and 50 miles wide?
1032
00:40:09,175 --> 00:40:10,942
Tsoulakos: When you ask the
1033
00:40:11,010 --> 00:40:13,311
local population, "How did all
1034
00:40:13,346 --> 00:40:16,548
of this come into being?" the
1035
00:40:16,582 --> 00:40:18,683
Aymara Indians will tell
1036
00:40:18,751 --> 00:40:20,852
you that all of this has
1037
00:40:20,887 --> 00:40:23,655
existed since before the
1038
00:40:23,689 --> 00:40:25,657
beginning of time.
1039
00:40:25,691 --> 00:40:27,759
Delgado Mamani: In the Aymara
1040
00:40:27,793 --> 00:40:29,394
legends, the lake is like the...
1041
00:40:29,428 --> 00:40:30,962
the place of genesis, the
1042
00:40:31,030 --> 00:40:33,365
place where it starts... all the
1043
00:40:33,399 --> 00:40:35,367
civilizations... in our
1044
00:40:35,401 --> 00:40:37,402
continent.
1045
00:40:37,403 --> 00:40:38,737
We have these very, very, very
1046
00:40:38,771 --> 00:40:40,171
old roots.
1047
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,540
I mean, we're not talking only
1048
00:40:41,574 --> 00:40:43,275
about this civilization, this
1049
00:40:43,342 --> 00:40:44,276
humanity.
1050
00:40:44,343 --> 00:40:47,546
We are talking about our seeds,
1051
00:40:47,580 --> 00:40:51,283
the roots of the stars.
1052
00:40:51,350 --> 00:40:53,652
Some people believe that the
1053
00:40:53,686 --> 00:40:56,354
extraterrestrial built, but
1054
00:40:56,389 --> 00:40:58,189
what I believe is that the
1055
00:40:58,257 --> 00:41:01,560
space brothers help us, direct
1056
00:41:01,594 --> 00:41:04,262
us, teach us, because they had
1057
00:41:04,297 --> 00:41:08,233
the experience in many ways.
1058
00:41:08,267 --> 00:41:10,235
The legend says that once the
1059
00:41:10,269 --> 00:41:13,271
space brothers came to this
1060
00:41:13,306 --> 00:41:15,540
planet and they used to live
1061
00:41:15,608 --> 00:41:18,276
with us, and they was very
1062
00:41:18,311 --> 00:41:20,345
important in our lives and they
1063
00:41:20,413 --> 00:41:23,348
used to be very powerful people.
1064
00:41:26,752 --> 00:41:28,420
Narrator: But is it possible
1065
00:41:28,454 --> 00:41:30,422
that the lost city of Wanaku
1066
00:41:30,456 --> 00:41:33,191
was really built, or inhabited,
1067
00:41:33,259 --> 00:41:34,793
by the ancient ancestors of
1068
00:41:34,827 --> 00:41:37,996
the indigenous Aymara people?
1069
00:41:38,064 --> 00:41:41,166
And if so, could it have been
1070
00:41:41,233 --> 00:41:43,001
deliberately flooded to avoid
1071
00:41:43,069 --> 00:41:44,269
detection from the outside
1072
00:41:44,337 --> 00:41:46,271
world?
1073
00:41:48,074 --> 00:41:49,007
Cristina Sovrosa
1074
00:41:49,075 --> 00:41:50,809
(translated): The elders, they
1075
00:41:50,843 --> 00:41:52,043
used to talk about the
1076
00:41:52,078 --> 00:41:54,913
underwater city.
1077
00:41:54,914 --> 00:41:57,349
They talk about the lights like
1078
00:41:57,416 --> 00:42:00,619
stars connecting with the lake.
1079
00:42:00,686 --> 00:42:02,621
The stars, when they come down
1080
00:42:02,655 --> 00:42:06,458
to the lake, there is changes
1081
00:42:06,525 --> 00:42:08,460
in the temperatures.
1082
00:42:10,963 --> 00:42:12,631
Delgado Mamani: There is many
1083
00:42:12,665 --> 00:42:14,766
legends with lights coming from
1084
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,701
the underground of the lake.
1085
00:42:16,769 --> 00:42:18,637
It seems they come, they go
1086
00:42:18,704 --> 00:42:20,338
and they return in different
1087
00:42:20,373 --> 00:42:21,439
moments.
1088
00:42:21,507 --> 00:42:22,907
Childress: You start to get
1089
00:42:22,975 --> 00:42:24,676
the idea that there is some kind
1090
00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:27,612
of ancient alien underwater
1091
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:28,947
base.
1092
00:42:28,981 --> 00:42:30,248
And it's possible that some of
1093
00:42:30,282 --> 00:42:32,684
these sunken ruins are, uh,
1094
00:42:32,718 --> 00:42:36,421
somehow part of that base.
1095
00:42:36,455 --> 00:42:39,524
Narrator: Could the ancient
1096
00:42:39,558 --> 00:42:41,793
city of Wanaku really have been
1097
00:42:41,861 --> 00:42:44,329
built by alien visitors?
1098
00:42:44,363 --> 00:42:47,165
And if so, why?
1099
00:42:47,199 --> 00:42:49,601
What was their purpose?
1100
00:42:49,635 --> 00:42:51,236
Could the discovr of this and
1101
00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:53,371
other sunken cities pride the
1102
00:42:53,406 --> 00:42:55,607
evidence that mankind has been
1103
00:42:55,641 --> 00:42:58,009
seeking for centuries...
1104
00:42:58,077 --> 00:43:00,378
evidence that proves... that we
1105
00:43:00,413 --> 00:43:03,915
are not alone?
1106
00:43:03,949 --> 00:43:05,283
Hancock: These mysterious
1107
00:43:05,317 --> 00:43:07,018
underwater structures really
1108
00:43:07,086 --> 00:43:08,553
don't have any context or any
1109
00:43:08,587 --> 00:43:10,088
background; they just seem to
1110
00:43:10,122 --> 00:43:11,556
come from nowhere.
1111
00:43:11,590 --> 00:43:13,191
They seem to stand out as being
1112
00:43:13,259 --> 00:43:15,260
out of place in time, so there's
1113
00:43:15,327 --> 00:43:16,561
some question marks, some
1114
00:43:16,595 --> 00:43:18,263
mystery surrounding them that
1115
00:43:18,297 --> 00:43:19,531
might shed new light on human
1116
00:43:19,598 --> 00:43:21,099
history.
1117
00:43:21,133 --> 00:43:22,634
Tsoulakos: Atlantis, Lake
1118
00:43:22,702 --> 00:43:25,804
Titicaca, Dwaraka.
1119
00:43:25,838 --> 00:43:28,073
All those ancient mystery
1120
00:43:28,107 --> 00:43:31,643
places always have had a
1121
00:43:31,677 --> 00:43:34,446
connection to the gods.
1122
00:43:34,513 --> 00:43:35,914
The gods who, in the ancient
1123
00:43:35,948 --> 00:43:37,916
astronaut opinion, were flesh
1124
00:43:37,983 --> 00:43:41,086
and blood extraterrestrials.
1125
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,521
And in the end, the ancient
1126
00:43:43,556 --> 00:43:45,457
astronaut theory will be proven
1127
00:43:45,524 --> 00:43:47,358
right.
