130 00:05:10,369 --> 00:05:11,836 Robert M. Schoch: A lot of 131 00:05:11,871 --> 00:05:14,839 myths, a lot of legends suggest 132 00:05:14,907 --> 00:05:16,374 that there were past 133 00:05:16,442 --> 00:05:19,744 civilizations of astounding 134 00:05:19,779 --> 00:05:22,847 sophistication at incredibly 135 00:05:22,915 --> 00:05:24,449 early periods. 136 00:05:24,450 --> 00:05:25,917 I think we have little glimmers, 137 00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:27,385 little suggestions around the 138 00:05:27,453 --> 00:05:29,287 world that there was something 139 00:05:29,355 --> 00:05:31,556 going on, much higher, much more 140 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:33,658 sophisticated at a much earlier 141 00:05:33,726 --> 00:05:36,928 period of time. 142 00:05:36,962 --> 00:05:38,129 Andrew Collins: To put things 143 00:05:38,197 --> 00:05:40,865 into perspective, Gobekli Tepe 144 00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:45,203 is 12,000 years old. 145 00:05:45,271 --> 00:05:48,406 That is several thousand years 146 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,476 earlier in age than

00:05:59,451 --> 00:06:02,053 really began in 4000 b.C. 151 00:06:02,087 --> 00:06:04,389 And yet, that is 8,000 years 152 00:06:04,423 --> 00:06:07,859 later than the foundation of 153 00:06:07,927 --> 00:06:10,428 Gobekli Tepe. 154 00:06:10,429 --> 00:06:12,397 So, clearly, we have here 155 00:06:12,431 --> 00:06:15,200 something that contradicts our 156 00:06:15,267 --> 00:06:17,268 normal understanding of the 157 00:06:17,303 --> 00:06:21,172 evolution of civilization. 158 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,274 Narrator: Curiously, after 13 159 00:06:23,309 --> 00:06:25,910 years of digging, archeologists 160 00:06:25,978 --> 00:06:28,179 investigating the ancient site 161 00:06:28,247 --> 00:06:30,248 have failed to recover a single 162 00:06:30,282 --> 00:06:31,549 stonecutting tool.

00:06:41,059 you contemplate 19-foot-tall, 167 00:06:41,093 --> 00:06:44,529 perfectly-sculpted columns that 168 00:06:44,563 --> 00:06:46,998 are 11,000 to 12,000 years old, 169 00:06:47,066 --> 00:06:49,267 and no tools? 170 00:06:49,301 --> 00:06:50,535 Narrator: The mystery of 171 00:06:50,569 --> 00:06:52,604 Gobekli Tepe is further 172 00:06:52,638 --> 00:06:53,905 compounded by the ancient stone 173 00:06:53,973 --> 00:06:55,373 carvings found throughout the 174 00:06:55,407 --> 00:06:57,375 site. 175 00:06:57,409 --> 00:06:59,244 They depict creatures like 176 00:06:59,278 --> 00:07:02,881 armadillos, wild boars and 177 00:07:02,915 --> 00:07:05,550 geese... animals not indigenous 178 00:07:05,584 --> 00:07:07,652 to the region. 179 00:07:07,686 --> 00:07:08,820 Collins: We see various types 180 00:07:08,854 --> 00:07:11,456 of creatures, different animals, 181 00:07:11,523 --> 00:07:15,093 birds, insects, and even 182 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,296 abstract human forms that seem 183 00:07:18,330 --> 00:07:21,232 to come together to create this 184 00:07:21,267 --> 00:07:23,801 very weird menagerie which has 185 00:07:23,836 --> 00:07:25,870 totally baffled the 186 00:07:25,905 --> 00:07:28,072 archeologists who have uncovered 187 00:07:28,107 --> 00:07:29,641 this site. 188 00:07:29,675 --> 00:07:31,276 Now what they represent is a 189 00:07:31,343 --> 00:07:33,444 matter of speculation, but it's 190 00:07:33,479 --> 00:07:35,713 my intuition that they may even 191 00:07:35,748 --> 00:07:39,717 represent an ark in stone. 192 00:07:39,785 --> 00:07:41,920 Narrator: Located less than 193 00:07:41,987 --> 00:07:44,956 350 Miles from mount Arara the 194 00:07:44,990 --> 00:07:46,591 site many biblical scholars 195 00:07:46,625 -->

00:07:55,667 a time in the region's history 199 00:07:55,734 --> 00:07:57,001 when the indigenous animal 200 00:07:57,036 --> 00:07:58,736 population may have been of a 201 00:07:58,771 --> 00:08:00,038 totally different 202 00:08:00,072 --> 00:08:02,407 anthropological origin. 203 00:08:02,474 --> 00:08:04,842 But do these carvings actually 204 00:08:04,910 --> 00:08:06,577 provide historical proof of the 205 00:08:06,645 --> 00:08:08,313 great flood that was described 206 00:08:08,380 --> 00:08:09,948 in the Bible? 207 00:08:09,982 --> 00:08:11,215 Hancock: Archeologists are 208 00:08:11,250 --> 00:08:13,217 aware that there are more than 209 00:08:13,252 --> 00:08:16,387 2,000 myths of a great flood 210 00:08:16,422 --> 00:08:18,289 which destroyed an earlier 211 00:08:18,324 --> 00:08:19,691 civilization. 212 00:08:19,758 --> 00:08:20,692 Narrator: Some researchers 213 00:08:20,759 --> 00:08:22,727 theorize that the events of a 214 00:08:22,761 --> 00:08:25,396 cataclysmic flood and a story 215 00:08:25,431 --> 00:08:27,231 similar to that told of Noah's 216 00:08:27,266 --> 00:08:29,600 ark was recorded on the stone 217 00:08:29,635 --> 00:08:31,569 pillars of Gobekli Tepe. 218 00:08:31,603 --> 00:08:33,938 If true, that would push the 219 00:08:33,973 --> 00:08:36,240 date of the great flood back to 220 00:08:36,275 --> 00:08:37,875 the end of the last ice age, far 221 00:08:37,943 --> 00:08:38,876 earlier than the biblical 222 00:08:38,944 --> 00:08:40,945 period. 223 00:08:40,980 --> 00:08:41,946 Collins: There is evidence 224 00:08:41,981 --> 00:08:44,215 that this may have ended quite 225 00:08:44,249 --> 00:08:46,417 catastrophically. 226 00:08:46,485 --> 00:08:47,785 There was a lot of things 227 00:08:47,820 --> 00:08:48,786 happening. 228 00:08:48,854 --> 00:08:50,588 Um, a lot of migrations. 229 00:08:50,622 --> 00:08:52,290 Possibly waters rising up very 230 00:08:52,324 --> 00:08:53,424 quickly. 231 00:08:53,492 --> 00:08:55,493 A lot of rapid changes in 232 00:08:55,527 --> 00:08:58,229 lifestyles. 233 00:08:58,297 --> 00:09:00,431 Narrator: But another, 234 00:09:00,499 --> 00:09:02,333 perhaps even more profound, 235 00:09:02,368 --> 00:09:04,235 question remains. 236 00:09:04,303 --> 00:09:06,871 Who built Gobekli Tepe? 237 00:09:06,939 --> 00:09:08,940 For what purpose? 238 00:09:08,974 --> 00:09:11,409 And how did such an ancient site 239 00:09:11,443 --> 00:09:13,077 remain in nearly pristine 240 00:09:13,145 --> 00:09:14,679 condition for more than 10,000 241 00:09:14,713 --> 00:09:16,714 years? 242 00:09:16,715 --> 00:09:17,849 Philip Coppens: In the case 243 00:09:17,883 --> 00:09:19,150 of Gobekli Tepe, we find that 244 00:09:19,184 --> 00:09:21,352 the site was carefully placed 245 00:09:21,387 --> 00:09:22,987 underneath sand. 246 00:09:23,055 --> 00:09:26,791 This site was buried. 247 00:09:26,792 --> 00:09:28,426 It appears as if somehow the 248 00:09:28,460 --> 00:09:31,262 usage of Gobekli Tepe was no 249 00:09:31,330 --> 00:09:32,797 longer there, and that people 250 00:09:32,831 --> 00:09:34,499 moved on, but had such a 251 00:09:34,533 --> 00:09:36,334 reverence to this important site 252 00:09:36,402 --> 00:09:38,136 that rather than destroy it, 253 00:09:38,170 --> 00:09:40,271 they put it to peace by burying 254 00:09:40,339 --> 00:09:42,540 it. 255 00:09:42,574 --> 00:09:43,541 Narrator: But why would the 256 00:09:43,575 --> 00:09:45,343 area's inhabitants carefully 257 00:09:45,377 --> 00:09:46,778 bury their monuments under 20 258 00:09:46,812 --> 00:09:48,980 feet of sand? 259 00:09:49,048 --> 00:09:51,682 Is it possible that Gobekli Tepe 260 00:09:51,717 --> 00:09:53,885 was deliberately buried in 261 00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:55,319 order to protect it from 262 00:09:55,354 --> 00:09:56,721 invaders? 263 00:09:56,755 --> 00:09:58,056 Or might the intention have 264 00:09:58,090 --> 00:10:00,358 been to preserve it, in hope, 265 00:10:00,392 --> 00:10:02,894 someday, to return? 266 00:10:02,928 --> 00:10:04,629 Childress: You have to ask 267 00:10:04,696 --> 00:10:06,964 yourself, why is someone 268 00:10:06,999 --> 00:10:08,833 building these massive 269 00:10:08,867 --> 00:10:10,902 structures all over the world? 270 00:10:10,936 --> 00:10:12,070 And many of them are very 271 00:10:12,104 --> 00:10:13,371 similar. 272 00:10:13,372 --> 00:10:15,873 It leaves us to think that there 273 00:10:15,908 --> 00:10:19,343 is some connection between all 274 00:10:19,378 --> 00:10:21,112 these ancient sites... 275 00:10:21,180 --> 00:10:23,014 That the builders were all doing 276 00:10:23,048 --> 00:10:25,083 it for a similar purpose. 277 00:10:25,117 --> 00:10:26,818 Martell: I do see a 278 00:10:26,885 --> 00:10:28,352 similarity across the globe 279 00:10:28,387 --> 00:10:29,921 from megalithic sites where 280 00:10:29,955 --> 00:10:31,989 these past cultures explain that 281 00:10:32,024 --> 00:10:34,258 they were built by the gods. 282 00:10:34,259 --> 00:10:36,027 But were they really gods? 283 00:10:36,061 --> 00:10:37,995 Or could they have been 284 00:10:38,030 --> 00:10:40,364 extraterrestrials? 285 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:41,566 Narrator: Perhaps the answers 286 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,568 can be found by examining 287 00:10:43,635 --> 00:10:46,571 another ancient site, one 288 00:10:46,638 --> 00:10:49,941 located half a world away in 289 00:10:49,975 --> 00:10:53,211 the mountains of Peru. 290 00:10:55,924 --> 00:10:57,424 Narrator: Peru, home of the 291 00:10:57,459 --> 00:10:59,226 world's longest Mountain range, 292 00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:02,296 the Andes, the spine of 293 00:11:02,330 --> 00:11:04,131 South America. 294 00:11:04,199 --> 00:11:06,967 Here in a high river valley, 295 00:11:07,035 --> 00:11:09,770 among peaks towering over 20,000 296 00:11:09,771 --> 00:11:12,706 feet, the lnca established their 297 00:11:12,774 --> 00:11:15,876 capital city of Cuzco, which 298 00:11:15,944 --> 00:11:19,947 thrived for over 300 years... 299 00:11:19,948 --> 00:11:22,983 Until Spanish conquistadors 300 00:11:23,051 --> 00:11:25,486 arrived in the 16th century. 301 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,490 Above Cuzco, at an elevation of 302 00:11:29,524 --> 00:11:33,560 more than 12,000 feet, looms the 303 00:11:33,595 --> 00:11:34,495 ancient fortress of 304 00:11:34,529 --> 00:11:37,665 Sacsayhuamán, whose immense 305 00:11:37,732 --> 00:11:39,500 stone walls may hold secrets 306 00:11:39,534 --> 00:11:40,734 which predate the lnca 307 00:11:40,769 --> 00:11:43,237 themselves. 308 00:11:43,238 --> 00:11:45,472 Hancock: My feeling, very 309 00:11:45,507 --> 00:11:47,207 strong feeling, is that we're 310 00:11:47,242 --> 00:11:49,209 looking at a two-phase 311 00:11:49,244 --> 00:11:50,678 construction site in many of the 312 00:11:50,745 --> 00:11:53,614 so-called lnca stone monuments. 313 00:11:53,615 --> 00:11:56,216 And that the lnca structures sit 314 00:11:56,284 --> 00:11:58,218 on top of much more ancient 315 00:11:58,286 --> 00:11:59,653 rock-cut structures and 316 00:11:59,688 --> 00:12:00,754 megalithic structures that we 317 00:12:00,789 --> 00:12:02,589 just don't know who built them. 318 00:12:02,624 --> 00:12:03,857 And this actually fits with the 319 00:12:03,925 --> 00:12:06,860 Incas' own view. 320 00:12:08,763 --> 00:12:10,030 Narrator: Like many lnca 321 00:12:10,065 --> 00:12:12,700 sites, Sacsayhuamán features 322 00:12:12,767 --> 00:12:15,402 astonishing stonework... 323 00:12:15,437 --> 00:12:17,404 But not all of it credited to 324 00:12:17,505 --> 00:12:20,574 the lnca. 325 00:12:20,608 --> 00:12:21,775 According to conventional 326 00:12:21,810 --> 00:12:23,944 archeology, the Killke 327 00:12:23,978 --> 00:12:26,046 culture built the older sections 328 00:12:26,114 --> 00:12:28,215 of the site approximately 1,000 329 00:12:28,249 --> 00:12:30,217 years ago. 330 00:12:30,251 --> 00:12:31,952 But the lnca themselves believed 331 00:12:31,986 --> 00:12:33,987 the site was constructed by an 332 00:12:34,055 --> 00:12:35,689 earlier unnamed race of 333 00:12:35,724 --> 00:12:38,992 people, led by a powerful God 334 00:12:39,060 --> 00:12:42,229 who descended from the skies. 335 00:12:42,263 --> 00:12:44,231 Martell: Throughout time 336 00:12:44,265 --> 00:12:46,266 there has been witness to a God 337 00:12:46,301 --> 00:12:48,268 named Virococha that visited the 338 00:12:48,336 --> 00:12:49,603 South American people and 339 00:12:49,637 --> 00:12:51,238 blessed them and gave them all 340 00:12:51,272 --> 00:12:53,474 types of technology. 341 00:12:53,475 --> 00:12:54,608 And some of his physical 342 00:12:54,709 --> 00:12:56,543 characteristics make him stand 343 00:12:56,578 --> 00:12:57,778 out from the indigenous 344 00:12:57,812 --> 00:12:59,079 population, because he was a 345 00:12:59,147 --> 00:13:00,981 very tall, pale-skinned, 346 00:13:01,015 --> 00:13:03,450 white-haired being. 347 00:13:03,518 --> 00:13:05,252 Narrator: But did this God 348 00:13:05,286 --> 00:13:07,788 Virococha actually exist? 349 00:13:07,822 --> 00:13:09,256 Could he have been, as ancient 350 00:13:09,324 --> 00:13:11,592 astronaut theorists suggest, a 351 00:13:11,626 --> 00:13:14,962 visitor from an alien world? 352 00:13:14,996 --> 00:13:18,232 If so, it might help to explain 353 00:13:18,266 --> 00:13:20,334 just how the ancient site was 354 00:13:20,401 --> 00:13:23,771 constructed. 355 00:13:23,838 --> 00:13:24,872 John Brandenburg: This rock 356 00:13:24,939 --> 00:13:26,306 weighs about 20 tons. 357 00:13:26,341 --> 00:13:27,608 This is miniscule compared to 358 00:13:27,675 --> 00:13:30,978 many of the rocks at 359 00:13:30,979 --> 00:13:32,513 today we have heavy machinery to 360 00:13:32,580 --> 00:13:34,248 move such stones. 361 00:13:34,315 --> 00:13:36,116 But in the ancient times, 362 00:13:36,151 --> 00:13:37,618 especially the lnca, they would 363 00:13:37,652 --> 00:13:39,620 have used massive human 364 00:13:39,687 --> 00:13:41,255 work forces working for massive 365 00:13:41,289 --> 00:13:42,990 amounts of time. 366 00:13:43,024 --> 00:13:45,626 A rule of thumb is it takes 367 00:13:45,693 --> 00:13:47,795 about ten to 20 men to move a 368 00:13:47,862 --> 00:13:49,897 one-ton rock. 369 00:13:49,964 --> 00:13:51,064 So when you're talking hundreds 370 00:13:51,132 --> 00:13:52,499 of tons, you're talking 371 00:13:52,534 --> 00:13:54,501 thousands of men. 372 00:13:56,437 --> 00:13:59,239 Childress: What we see is a 373 00:13:59,274 --> 00:14:01,608 culture who have got the 374 00:14:01,643 --> 00:14:04,611 technology to quarry giant 375 00:14:04,646 --> 00:14:08,248 blocks of stone... move them to 376 00:14:08,316 --> 00:14:09,950 the site where they want to 377 00:14:09,984 --> 00:14:14,521 build and then to stack and cut 378 00:14:14,556 --> 00:14:16,590 and articulate these massive 379 00:14:16,624 --> 00:14:18,992 blocks into, in some cases, 380 00:14:19,027 --> 00:14:22,896 almost indestructible structure. 381 00:14:22,964 --> 00:14:24,464 Christopher Dunn: You talk 382 00:14:24,532 --> 00:14:25,599 about granite, you're talking 383 00:14:25,633 --> 00:14:27,901 about a composition of feldspar, 384 00:14:27,969 --> 00:14:29,970 mica and quartz. 385 00:14:29,971 --> 00:14:32,372 So you'd need diamond to 386 00:14:32,407 --> 00:14:34,708 actually abrade it or cut it. 387 00:14:34,742 --> 00:14:36,276 We would use diamond today to 388 00:14:36,344 --> 00:14:37,711 cut granite. 389 00:14:37,745 --> 00:14:38,879 Those are the kind of 390 00:14:38,913 --> 00:14:40,881 discoveries that lead one to 391 00:14:40,915 --> 00:14:43,150 question whether they were 392 00:14:43,184 --> 00:14:46,286 really using the tools in the 393 00:14:46,354 --> 00:14:47,888 ancient toolbox, or whether 394 00:14:47,922 --> 00:14:49,923 there was something else at 395 00:14:49,991 --> 00:14:51,925 work. 396 00:14:54,762 --> 00:14:56,363 Narrator: Shaman Jorge 397 00:14:56,431 --> 00:14:58,365 Delgado has spent most of his 398 00:14:58,399 --> 00:15:00,567 life studying the mysterious 399 00:15:00,602 --> 00:15:02,569 structures of Peru... 400 00:15:02,604 --> 00:15:05,005 Many built prior to the rise of 401 00:15:05,073 --> 00:15:07,007 the lnca empire. 402 00:15:09,244 --> 00:15:10,210 Jorge Delgado Mamani: It's 403 00:15:10,245 --> 00:15:12,379 amazing... all the weight of the 404 00:15:12,447 --> 00:15:13,480 stones. 405 00:15:13,548 --> 00:15:15,716 You know, it's difficult, 406 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:17,351 definitely, for any human to 407 00:15:17,385 --> 00:15:19,386 move, even in groups. 408 00:15:19,387 --> 00:15:21,388 And the other aspect is how it's 409 00:15:21,422 --> 00:15:23,190 put together. 410 00:15:23,224 --> 00:15:25,392 In some stones, we will see, 411 00:15:25,460 --> 00:15:26,994 still now there is like some 412 00:15:27,028 --> 00:15:28,495 marks that it seems that it 413 00:15:28,563 --> 00:15:30,564 was dissolved. 414 00:15:30,632 --> 00:15:33,033 Hancock: The walls are put 415 00:15:33,067 --> 00:15:35,402 together with blocks of stone 416 00:15:35,470 --> 00:15:38,105 weighing 50 or 100 tons, cut 417 00:15:38,139 --> 00:15:40,207 and shaped like the pieces 418 00:15:40,275 --> 00:15:42,042 of a Jigsaw puzzle, so that they 419 00:15:42,076 --> 00:15:43,577 lock together so tightly that 420 00:15:43,645 --> 00:15:45,479 you can't even get a sheet of 421 00:15:45,546 --> 00:15:47,381 paper between them. 422 00:15:47,415 --> 00:15:48,682 Martell: There are signs in 423 00:15:48,716 --> 00:15:50,117 many of these stones that show 424 00:15:50,151 --> 00:15:51,919 very large amounts of thermal 425 00:15:51,953 --> 00:15:54,588 heat have been applied to mold 426 00:15:54,656 --> 00:15:56,189 the stones in such a way that 427 00:15:56,224 --> 00:15:57,457 they fit perfectly. 428 00:15:57,492 --> 00:15:58,458 And so it really does raise a 429 00:15:58,493 --> 00:16:00,394 lot of questions. 430 00:16:00,428 --> 00:16:01,595 Giorgio Tsoukalos: If you 431 00:16:01,663 --> 00:16:02,696 look at the style the 432 00:16:02,764 --> 00:16:04,464 Sacsayhuamán wall was built, 433 00:16:04,499 --> 00:16:06,867 the blocks look as if they've 434 00:16:06,901 --> 00:16:09,803 been molded like putty. 435 00:16:09,804 --> 00:16:11,238 If you can mold stone into 436 00:16:11,306 --> 00:16:13,473 place, then all of a sudden, as 437 00:16:13,508 --> 00:16:16,410 crazy as this sounds, it makes 438 00:16:16,444 --> 00:16:19,613 more sense because there is no 439 00:16:19,681 --> 00:16:22,683 mortar that has been used. 440 00:16:24,786 --> 00:16:25,786 Narrator: According to local 441 00:16:25,853 --> 00:16:28,422 legend, a bird was responsible 442 00:16:28,489 --> 00:16:31,158 for the seamless construction. 443 00:16:31,225 --> 00:16:33,126 Legends say the winged creature 444 00:16:33,161 --> 00:16:35,429 carried a powerful chemical in 445 00:16:35,463 --> 00:16:38,298 its beak... a substance capable 446 00:16:38,333 --> 00:16:41,501 of melting stone. 447 00:16:41,536 --> 00:16:42,769 Mamani: Sacsayhuamán means 448 00:16:42,804 --> 00:16:45,973 "the head of the falcon," 449 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,874 falcon's head. 450 00:16:47,942 --> 00:16:50,610 But maybe it was some falcons or 451 00:16:50,678 --> 00:16:53,447 maybe some bird people who could 452 00:16:53,481 --> 00:16:56,583 connect with the place. 453 00:16:56,617 --> 00:16:58,151 Narrator: But is it possible, 454 00:16:58,219 --> 00:17:00,220 as ancient astronaut theorists 455 00:17:00,254 --> 00:17:02,556 suggest, that the mythical bird 456 00:17:02,590 --> 00:17:04,391 might actually have been a 457 00:17:04,459 --> 00:17:07,127 spacecraft piloted by alien 458 00:17:07,161 --> 00:17:09,229 visitors known to the locals as 459 00:17:09,297 --> 00:17:11,398 space brothers? 460 00:17:11,466 --> 00:17:13,967 Mamani: I believe that it's a 461 00:17:14,035 --> 00:17:16,236 combination of the space 462 00:17:16,304 --> 00:17:18,972 brothers' technology with other 463 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,742 kind of possibilities. 464 00:17:21,776 --> 00:17:23,777 Nowadays we know, well, 465 00:17:23,845 --> 00:17:25,312 different kind of tools. 466 00:17:25,346 --> 00:17:26,513 We didn't have before these 467 00:17:26,547 --> 00:17:27,681 kind of tools. 468 00:17:27,715 --> 00:17:28,849 Or maybe we had more 469 00:17:28,883 --> 00:17:30,217 sophisticated. 470 00:17:30,251 --> 00:17:32,419 So the thing is that this place, 471 00:17:32,487 --> 00:17:34,254 Sacsayhuamán, it continues as a 472 00:17:34,322 --> 00:17:37,691 mystery. 473 00:17:37,725 --> 00:17:39,159 Martell: So looking at all 474 00:17:39,227 --> 00:17:40,427 these sites with these perfectly 475 00:17:40,495 --> 00:17:42,162 stacked stones, we're looking at 476 00:17:42,230 --> 00:17:43,930 a type of technology that's not 477 00:17:43,965 --> 00:17:45,599 used anywhere else on earth. 478 00:17:45,633 --> 00:17:47,501 I don't discount human 479 00:17:47,568 --> 00:17:48,969 ingenuity, but that type of 480 00:17:49,003 --> 00:17:51,071 engineering that we still can't 481 00:17:51,139 --> 00:17:53,206 duplicate today must raise a 482 00:17:53,241 --> 00:17:55,675 flag for further consideration. 483 00:17:55,710 --> 00:17:57,511 It's almost extraterrestrial, 484 00:17:57,545 --> 00:17:58,612 in a sense. 485 00:17:58,679 --> 00:18:00,047 Someone had to have taught them 486 00:18:00,081 --> 00:18:02,049 these techniques. 487 00:18:02,083 --> 00:18:03,517 Narrator: But whether the 488 00:18:03,584 --> 00:18:05,485 process of forming the large 489 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,954 megalithic stones involve the 490 00:18:07,989 --> 00:18:09,890 use of thermal energy or a 491 00:18:09,924 --> 00:18:12,492 mysterious chemical, one thing 492 00:18:12,527 --> 00:18:16,229 is certain: The ancient builders 493 00:18:16,264 --> 00:18:17,798 used the technique on 494 00:18:17,865 --> 00:18:19,966 a vast scale. 495 00:18:20,001 --> 00:18:21,501 But why? 496 00:18:21,536 --> 00:18:23,270 What was the intended purpose 497 00:18:23,337 --> 00:18:25,238 of creating such intricately 498 00:18:25,273 --> 00:18:29,609 built stone structures? 499 00:18:29,644 --> 00:18:31,144 Martell: So we can't really 500 00:18:31,179 --> 00:18:32,913 give an answer as to what they 501 00:18:32,947 --> 00:18:34,548 were being used for other than 502 00:18:34,615 --> 00:18:35,515 we know that the 503 00:18:35,550 --> 00:18:36,183 extraterrestrials more than 504 00:18:36,217 --> 00:18:37,551 likely are the source of what 505 00:18:37,618 --> 00:18:38,518 they call "gods." 506 00:18:38,553 --> 00:18:39,686 How did they get here? 507 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,254 More than likely in some type 508 00:18:41,289 --> 00:18:42,722 of craft, and very possibly, 509 00:18:42,790 --> 00:18:44,324 they could have been using these 510 00:18:44,358 --> 00:18:45,525 large megaliths as platforms 511 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,195 to land on. 512 00:18:48,262 --> 00:18:50,063 Narrator: But if Sacsayhuamán 513 00:18:50,098 --> 00:18:54,000 was in fact constructed by alien 514 00:18:54,035 --> 00:18:55,368 visitors, might there be 515 00:18:55,403 --> 00:18:56,536 additional evidence of their 516 00:18:56,571 --> 00:18:58,338 time on earth at other 517 00:18:58,372 --> 00:19:01,174 ancient sites around the world? 518 00:19:01,242 --> 00:19:04,811 Perhaps there is. 519 00:19:04,879 --> 00:19:06,746 And the path to that evidence 520 00:19:06,814 --> 00:19:10,884 is clearly marked in stones. 521 00:19:16,922 --> 00:19:18,623 Narrator: Few sites on earth 522 00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:20,425 are as majestic or as 523 00:19:20,492 --> 00:19:22,694 treacherous as the jagged region 524 00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:24,529 of Brittany located on the 525 00:19:24,563 --> 00:19:27,899 northwest coastline of France. 526 00:19:27,933 --> 00:19:29,767 Here can be found the legendary 527 00:19:29,802 --> 00:19:33,237 Carnac stones... a collection of 528 00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:36,007 over 3,000 massive rocks 529 00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:39,277 arranged in rows and other 530 00:19:39,344 --> 00:19:41,446 shapes and spreading across 531 00:19:41,513 --> 00:19:43,181 more than two Miles of French 532 00:19:43,248 --> 00:19:46,250 countryside. 533 00:19:46,251 --> 00:19:47,351 Schoch: You're talking 534 00:19:47,419 --> 00:19:48,720 thousands of stones that are 535 00:19:48,787 --> 00:19:52,890 aligned in straight rows, 536 00:19:52,925 --> 00:19:54,992 aligned in circles, aligned in 537 00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,562 squares and rectangles. 538 00:19:57,563 --> 00:19:59,731 Why are people doing this? 539 00:19:59,765 --> 00:20:01,299 Why are they putting so much 540 00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:03,668 time and energy into something? 541 00:20:03,702 --> 00:20:06,337 And the short answer, I believe, 542 00:20:06,405 --> 00:20:09,340 is that we really don't know. 543 00:20:09,408 --> 00:20:10,441 Narrator: According to local 544 00:20:10,476 --> 00:20:12,710 legend, the megaliths were 545 00:20:12,778 --> 00:20:14,078 originally invading Roman 546 00:20:14,113 --> 00:20:16,414 soldiers turned to stone by 547 00:20:16,448 --> 00:20:18,883 Merlin the magician. 548 00:20:18,951 --> 00:20:21,152 But if it wasn't magic that 549 00:20:21,186 --> 00:20:23,788 created this forest of stones, 550 00:20:23,822 --> 00:20:27,158 who or what did? 551 00:20:27,159 --> 00:20:28,860 Childress: Modern 552 00:20:28,927 --> 00:20:30,228 archaeologists would say that 553 00:20:30,295 --> 00:20:32,597 people who were one step removed 554 00:20:32,664 --> 00:20:34,665 from cavemen were quarrying 555 00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:37,201 these giant stones, some of 556 00:20:37,236 --> 00:20:40,471 them weighing 100, 200 tons... 557 00:20:40,506 --> 00:20:43,307 even up to 350 tons... and then 558 00:20:43,342 --> 00:20:47,345 somehow moving them into place. 559 00:20:47,346 --> 00:20:49,313 When you first look at the 560 00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:51,582 stones here at Carnac, they seem 561 00:20:51,617 --> 00:20:53,785 to be in haphazard shapes, but 562 00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:57,121 on closer examination we can see 563 00:20:57,156 --> 00:20:59,357 that most of the stones have 564 00:20:59,391 --> 00:21:02,460 been cut on one side or another. 565 00:21:02,494 --> 00:21:05,730 And in fact, these granite 566 00:21:05,764 --> 00:21:07,732 megaliths are magnetized with 567 00:21:07,766 --> 00:21:09,901 the earth, and nearly all of 568 00:21:09,935 --> 00:21:12,537 them come to a point. 569 00:21:12,571 --> 00:21:14,105 Narrator: Stone magnets? 570 00:21:14,173 --> 00:21:16,374 Is it possible that these stones 571 00:21:16,408 --> 00:21:19,277 were really cut in position in 572 00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:21,045 such a way as to create some 573 00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:23,948 sort of geomagnetic field? 574 00:21:24,016 --> 00:21:25,917 But why? 575 00:21:25,951 --> 00:21:26,951 Childress: Carnac as a 576 00:21:26,985 --> 00:21:28,486 place is highly charged with 577 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,754 energy. 578 00:21:29,788 --> 00:21:31,656 As you walk down these stone 579 00:21:31,690 --> 00:21:33,591 corridors, you can feel 580 00:21:33,659 --> 00:21:35,760 this charge. 581 00:21:35,828 --> 00:21:37,728 Many tourists who come here also 582 00:21:37,763 --> 00:21:40,131 like to touch the stones and 583 00:21:40,199 --> 00:21:41,232 feel the energy coming 584 00:21:41,266 --> 00:21:43,734 off of it. 585 00:21:43,769 --> 00:21:45,903 The people who built Carnac must 586 00:21:45,938 --> 00:21:47,972 have been highly knowledgeable 587 00:21:48,006 --> 00:21:50,107 of the earth's energy fields. 588 00:21:50,175 --> 00:21:51,442 Narrator: According to a 589 00:21:51,476 --> 00:21:53,544 concept known as the "world grid 590 00:21:53,579 --> 00:21:55,479 theory," certain places on our 591 00:21:55,514 --> 00:21:57,281 planet contain higher magnetic 592 00:21:57,349 --> 00:21:59,350 forces than others. 593 00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:00,918 Martell: An interesting 594 00:22:00,953 --> 00:22:02,119 coincidence for all the 595 00:22:02,187 --> 00:22:03,454 megalithic structures we have 596 00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:04,922 around the earth is that they're 597 00:22:04,957 --> 00:22:06,457 placed at specific points that 598 00:22:06,491 --> 00:22:08,926 could be harnessing an ancient 599 00:22:08,961 --> 00:22:10,695 world energy grid. 600 00:22:10,696 --> 00:22:11,929 Schoch: There are certain 601 00:22:11,964 --> 00:22:13,631 spots around the world which 602 00:22:13,665 --> 00:22:15,099 have traditionally been 603 00:22:15,133 --> 00:22:18,636 sacred, hallowed, vortexes. 604 00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:23,975 Energy feels different there. 605 00:22:23,976 --> 00:22:25,309 Wilcock: The ancient stone 606 00:22:25,377 --> 00:22:27,211 monuments were built to harness 607 00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:29,313 that force and that potential to 608 00:22:29,381 --> 00:22:32,717 create a funnel-like vortex. 609 00:22:32,718 --> 00:22:34,185 Martell: When we look at 610 00:22:34,219 --> 00:22:36,654 things like the Giza pyramids or 611 00:22:36,688 --> 00:22:39,023 Machu Picchu or Baalbek in 612 00:22:39,057 --> 00:22:40,491 Lebanon, all of these are placed 613 00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:42,760 at specific geo-coded locations 614 00:22:42,794 --> 00:22:44,128 which relate to this world 615 00:22:44,196 --> 00:22:45,963 energy grid. 616 00:22:45,998 --> 00:22:48,933 Narrator: Could Carnac be one 617 00:22:48,967 --> 00:22:51,936 of these locations? 618 00:22:51,970 --> 00:22:53,604 And might the combination of 619 00:22:53,672 --> 00:22:57,041 geomagnetic properties and the 620 00:22:57,075 --> 00:22:58,209 unique shapes of the stones 621 00:22:58,243 --> 00:23:01,212 themselves have allowed ancient 622 00:23:01,246 --> 00:23:02,313 builders to actually 623 00:23:02,381 --> 00:23:04,315 manipulate gravity? 624 00:23:04,383 --> 00:23:07,785 If so, where did this knowledge 625 00:23:07,819 --> 00:23:09,687 come from? 626 00:23:09,755 --> 00:23:11,422 And what ultimate purpose did 627 00:23:11,490 --> 00:23:13,391 it serve? 628 00:23:13,425 --> 00:23:14,492 Childress: It wasn't until we 629 00:23:14,526 --> 00:23:16,394 were able to see these stones 630 00:23:16,428 --> 00:23:19,230 from above, in a helicopter, 631 00:23:19,264 --> 00:23:21,499 that we realized that Carnac was 632 00:23:21,566 --> 00:23:24,969 meant to be seen from the sky 633 00:23:25,037 --> 00:23:28,039 above us. 634 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,408 Tsoukalos: And that is one of 635 00:23:30,442 --> 00:23:32,310 only three things that you can 636 00:23:32,344 --> 00:23:34,378 see from outer space. 637 00:23:34,379 --> 00:23:36,580 That's Nazca, the great wall in 638 00:23:36,615 --> 00:23:40,718 China and Carnac. 639 00:23:40,752 --> 00:23:42,253 Martell: Were they meant to 640 00:23:42,287 --> 00:23:43,888 be seen by people in the sky? 641 00:23:43,922 --> 00:23:45,356 And who could've been flying at 642 00:23:45,390 --> 00:23:46,357 that time other than 643 00:23:46,425 --> 00:23:50,161 extraterrestrials? 644 00:23:50,195 --> 00:23:52,330 Narrator: At one end of the 645 00:23:52,364 --> 00:23:53,998 Carnac alignment, aerial 646 00:23:54,066 --> 00:23:56,067 researchers identified a stone 647 00:23:56,134 --> 00:23:58,169 circle similar to the one 648 00:23:58,203 --> 00:24:00,805 found at Stonehenge. 649 00:24:00,839 --> 00:24:03,074 At the other end, investigators 650 00:24:03,141 --> 00:24:04,775 on the ground discovered a 651 00:24:04,810 --> 00:24:07,545 rectangle of stones, one that 652 00:24:07,612 --> 00:24:10,247 had been buried for centuries. 653 00:24:10,282 --> 00:24:12,049 Both groupings appeared 654 00:24:12,084 --> 00:24:14,352 precisely placed to predict 655 00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:15,553 both the summer and the 656 00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:17,254 winter solstice. 657 00:24:17,322 --> 00:24:19,090 And when even more closely 658 00:24:19,124 --> 00:24:21,058 examined from above, the 659 00:24:21,093 --> 00:24:23,060 solstice points and the 660 00:24:23,095 --> 00:24:24,729 alignment of Carnac's many rows 661 00:24:24,796 --> 00:24:27,098 of stones reveal yet another 662 00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:30,601 geometric phenomenon: The shape 663 00:24:30,602 --> 00:24:32,903 of a Pythagorean, or right 664 00:24:32,938 --> 00:24:36,173 triangle, covering many square 665 00:24:36,241 --> 00:24:38,642 Miles. 666 00:24:38,643 --> 00:24:41,078 But how could the builders of 667 00:24:41,113 --> 00:24:43,080 Carnac have had knowledge of a 668 00:24:43,115 --> 00:24:44,281 sophisticated mathematical 669 00:24:44,349 --> 00:24:47,084 theorem approximately 2,000 670 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,552 years before its 671 00:24:48,587 --> 00:24:50,087 discovery by the Greek 672 00:24:50,122 --> 00:24:53,457 mathematician Pythagoras? 673 00:24:53,492 --> 00:24:55,159 Tsoukalos: These conclusions 674 00:24:55,193 --> 00:24:56,727 about the Pythagorean theorem 675 00:24:56,762 --> 00:24:58,829 doesn't come from me; It 676 00:24:58,864 --> 00:25:02,833 actually comes from quite 677 00:25:02,868 --> 00:25:04,468 looked at these alignments and 678 00:25:04,536 --> 00:25:07,104 made the calculations. 679 00:25:07,172 --> 00:25:11,375 We're talking stone age time, 680 00:25:11,443 --> 00:25:13,277 and they knew about a squared 681 00:25:13,311 --> 00:25:16,113 plus b squared equals c squared? 682 00:25:16,148 --> 00:25:17,481 They knew about it, 683 00:25:17,516 --> 00:25:20,651 yes, but why? 684 00:25:20,685 --> 00:25:23,654 Who told them this? 685 00:25:23,688 --> 00:25:26,924 At the time, extraterrestrials 686 00:25:26,958 --> 00:25:28,993 told our ancestors, "put this 687 00:25:29,027 --> 00:25:30,861 stone here, put this stone 688 00:25:30,896 --> 00:25:33,497 there," with the idea that a 689 00:25:33,565 --> 00:25:35,833 future generation would have to 690 00:25:35,867 --> 00:25:37,768 stumble across this 691 00:25:37,836 --> 00:25:40,137 mathematical riddle, that 692 00:25:40,172 --> 00:25:42,506 somebody would say, 693 00:25:42,574 --> 00:25:43,507 "hold on a second." 694 00:25:43,575 --> 00:25:45,476 This was erected during the 695 00:25:45,510 --> 00:25:48,012 stone age, yet here we have 696 00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:49,680 advanced mathematics. 697 00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:52,349 "How is this possible?" 698 00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:53,551 Von Daniken: Now these 699 00:25:53,585 --> 00:25:54,852 extraterrestrials, they ask 700 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,420 themselves, "how could we give 701 00:25:56,488 --> 00:25:58,489 them a sign?" 702 00:25:58,557 --> 00:26:00,558 And there was a suggestion made 703 00:26:00,592 --> 00:26:03,127 in French Brittany... kilometers 704 00:26:03,195 --> 00:26:04,862 of stone lines in the form 705 00:26:04,896 --> 00:26:06,263 of a triangle. 706 00:26:06,264 --> 00:26:07,665 Gigantic triangle. 707 00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:09,233 So we have the sign. 708 00:26:09,267 --> 00:26:10,668 We have the information. 709 00:26:10,702 --> 00:26:12,870 But nobody looks at it. 710 00:26:12,938 --> 00:26:14,839 It's time to change our attitude 711 00:26:14,873 --> 00:26:18,509 to these things. 712 00:26:18,543 --> 00:26:19,910 Childress: I think that these 713 00:26:19,978 --> 00:26:22,680 stones are transmitting energy 714 00:26:22,714 --> 00:26:25,616 that extraterrestrials or others 715 00:26:25,684 --> 00:26:28,185 in airships could pick up this 716 00:26:28,220 --> 00:26:30,621 energy like a GPS system or 717 00:26:30,655 --> 00:26:34,091 some kind of airport beacon 718 00:26:34,159 --> 00:26:36,627 and use it for navigating 719 00:26:36,661 --> 00:26:39,530 the entire planet. 720 00:26:39,564 --> 00:26:41,799 Narrator: Gigantic triangles 721 00:26:41,833 --> 00:26:44,335 made of stone. 722 00:26:44,369 --> 00:26:47,271 Geomagnetic phenomenon. 723 00:26:47,339 --> 00:26:49,473 The possibility of an 724 00:26:49,541 --> 00:26:51,609 extraterrestrial encounter with 725 00:26:51,643 --> 00:26:54,879 humans thousands of years ago. 726 00:26:54,946 --> 00:26:57,348 But if alien visitors did touch 727 00:26:57,382 --> 00:27:00,684 down at Carnac, where else did 728 00:27:00,719 --> 00:27:02,853 they land? 729 00:27:02,888 --> 00:27:05,322 And where did they come from? 730 00:27:05,357 --> 00:27:07,424 Perhaps a recently discovered 731 00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:09,527 archaeological site in Armenia 732 00:27:09,561 --> 00:27:12,530 will provide the answer. 733 00:27:24,683 --> 00:27:26,317 Narrator: The Syunik 734 00:27:26,351 --> 00:27:29,387 province, Southern Armenia. 735 00:27:29,421 --> 00:27:31,956 Approximately 140 Miles 736 00:27:31,990 --> 00:27:33,691 southeast of the nation's 737 00:27:33,692 --> 00:27:35,960 capital, Yerevan, lies the 738 00:27:36,028 --> 00:27:39,964 city of Sisian. 739 00:27:39,965 --> 00:27:42,967 Nearby sits a high plateau where 740 00:27:43,035 --> 00:27:45,436 hundreds of ancient stones, some 741 00:27:45,504 --> 00:27:47,772 weighing more than 50 tons, 742 00:27:47,806 --> 00:27:51,609 stretch over a third of a mile. 743 00:27:51,643 --> 00:27:55,046 This is Carahunge, also known as 744 00:27:55,114 --> 00:27:58,149 the Armenian Stonehenge. 745 00:28:01,153 --> 00:28:03,755 Estimated to be approximately 746 00:28:03,789 --> 00:28:07,325 7,500 years old, Carahunge 747 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,594 predates the British Stonehenge 748 00:28:09,661 --> 00:28:13,598 by more than 4,500 years. 749 00:28:13,665 --> 00:28:17,135 The site is made of 203 slabs 750 00:28:17,169 --> 00:28:19,971 of basalt. 751 00:28:20,038 --> 00:28:22,807 At the structure's center stands 752 00:28:22,875 --> 00:28:27,345 the stone circle, or henge. 753 00:28:27,346 --> 00:28:29,313 Nicholas Howarth: When most 754 00:28:29,348 --> 00:28:30,815 people hear of stone henges, 755 00:28:30,883 --> 00:28:32,450 they think of the Stonehenge 756 00:28:32,484 --> 00:28:33,451 in England. 757 00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:34,886 But there are hundreds of these, 758 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,221 uh, henges, or stone circles, 759 00:28:37,256 --> 00:28:40,057 scattered all across Europe. 760 00:28:40,092 --> 00:28:43,494 What they were and how they 761 00:28:43,529 --> 00:28:47,064 were used is still a mystery. 762 00:28:47,099 --> 00:28:48,633 Tsoukalos: Mainstream 763 00:28:48,700 --> 00:28:51,435 archeology still doesn't agree 764 00:28:51,503 --> 00:28:54,639 on who lived there or who the 765 00:28:54,706 --> 00:28:58,643 builders were of that site. 766 00:28:58,710 --> 00:29:01,813 What we do know, though, is that 767 00:29:01,847 --> 00:29:04,182 the entire site is definitely 768 00:29:04,216 --> 00:29:06,250 a part of some type of an 769 00:29:06,285 --> 00:29:08,286 astronomical model. 770 00:29:08,287 --> 00:29:10,254 Narrator: But how could this 771 00:29:10,289 --> 00:29:12,256 simple circular array of stones 772 00:29:12,291 --> 00:29:14,725 have given early man information 773 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,195 about the stars? 774 00:29:17,229 --> 00:29:19,263 Is it possible that Carahunge 775 00:29:19,298 --> 00:29:21,199 might be the world's oldest 776 00:29:21,233 --> 00:29:23,267 observatory? 777 00:29:23,302 --> 00:29:26,737 In September of 2010, England's 778 00:29:26,805 --> 00:29:29,373 Oxford university sent an 779 00:29:29,441 --> 00:29:32,844 expedition to investigate. 780 00:29:32,878 --> 00:29:34,846 Howarth: What makes this 781 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,714 exceptional megalithic monument 782 00:29:36,748 --> 00:29:39,450 unique are the small holes, 783 00:29:39,484 --> 00:29:41,552 which have been bored into the 784 00:29:41,620 --> 00:29:46,190 rock at different angles. 785 00:29:46,258 --> 00:29:49,894 There are 85 stones with holes. 786 00:29:49,928 --> 00:29:53,364 They're like telescopes. 787 00:29:53,398 --> 00:29:56,033 What we see with these holes is 788 00:29:56,068 --> 00:29:57,768 that they are pointed at 789 00:29:57,836 --> 00:29:59,570 different alignments to 790 00:29:59,605 --> 00:30:02,807 positions, uh, on the horizon or 791 00:30:02,841 --> 00:30:04,942 into the night sky. 792 00:30:04,977 --> 00:30:06,944 Uh, what they're pointing at is 793 00:30:07,012 --> 00:30:09,947 still a mystery to us. 794 00:30:12,517 --> 00:30:15,753 But we can say with certainty 795 00:30:15,787 --> 00:30:16,954 from the archaeological 796 00:30:16,989 --> 00:30:18,589 evidence that they were some 797 00:30:18,624 --> 00:30:20,558 sort of way to connect man and 798 00:30:20,592 --> 00:30:23,127 his life on earth to the 799 00:30:23,195 --> 00:30:28,766 heavens above. 800 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,402 That we can say that people were 801 00:30:31,470 --> 00:30:33,504 systematically trying to 802 00:30:33,538 --> 00:30:35,239 understand their place in the 803 00:30:35,307 --> 00:30:37,808 solar system. 804 00:30:37,809 --> 00:30:39,777 Wilcock: This site is also 805 00:30:39,811 --> 00:30:41,646 called the Zorats Karer, which 806 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,947 means "the stones of the 807 00:30:42,981 --> 00:30:44,315 powerful." 808 00:30:44,383 --> 00:30:45,983 And what has been determined is 809 00:30:46,018 --> 00:30:47,752 that the outline of these stones 810 00:30:47,786 --> 00:30:49,987 actually does correspond to the 811 00:30:50,022 --> 00:30:51,889 constellation known as Cygnus, 812 00:30:51,924 --> 00:30:54,792 or the swan... 813 00:30:54,826 --> 00:30:57,261 Which, in certain cultures, is 814 00:30:57,296 --> 00:31:01,132 also referred to as the vulture. 815 00:31:01,166 --> 00:31:03,234 Collins: Cygnus has always 816 00:31:03,268 --> 00:31:05,069 been seen among cultures around 817 00:31:05,137 --> 00:31:06,904 the world for many, many 818 00:31:06,939 --> 00:31:09,073 thousands of years as a point 819 00:31:09,141 --> 00:31:12,076 of entry and exit into the 820 00:31:12,110 --> 00:31:14,278 sky world... this belief in a 821 00:31:14,346 --> 00:31:16,547 power in the stars, the idea 822 00:31:16,581 --> 00:31:18,549 that we come from the stars and 823 00:31:18,583 --> 00:31:21,719 actually return there in death. 824 00:31:23,355 --> 00:31:24,722 Narrator: The early Greeks, 825 00:31:24,790 --> 00:31:27,158 Chinese and others also believed 826 00:31:27,192 --> 00:31:29,460 that Cygnus had a special power 827 00:31:29,494 --> 00:31:31,629 or unique significance. 828 00:31:31,663 --> 00:31:33,064 But why? 829 00:31:33,098 --> 00:31:34,465 Why would so many ancient 830 00:31:34,499 --> 00:31:36,267 cultures around the world have 831 00:31:36,301 --> 00:31:37,802 similar myths about the same 832
