1
00:00:03,280 --> 00:00:04,400
Giants.
2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,520
They found up to 40 or 50 people
inside this cave.
3
00:00:10,040 --> 00:00:13,640
One was allegedly 7 feet, 7 inches tall.
4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,040
Grey-skinned creatures.
5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,120
Essentially humanoid
but with disproportionately large heads...
6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,040
...and huge black almond-shaped eyes.
7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,720
And beings with godlike powers.
8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,560
This was a person
who was a little more than human.
9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:34,360
Throughout history there have been stories
of strange beings and fantastic creatures.
10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,600
But could they be more than just myth?
11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,880
In my opinion,
12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,320
these people were misinterpreted
flesh-and-blood space travelers.
13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,360
Millions of people around the world...
14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,720
...believe we have been visited
in the past by extraterrestrial beings.
15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,080
What if it were true?
16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Did ancient aliens really helped
to shape our history?
17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,880
And if so, might we find proof
by examining the faces of the gods?
18
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,080
Cahauchi, Peru.
19
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,710
Two thousand years ago,
this ancient settlement served...
20
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,080
...as the religious and cultural capital
of the Nazca people.
21
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,520
But sometime around 500 AD,
22
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,920
the Nazca mysteriously disappeared,
23
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,160
leaving Cahauchi to fall into disarray.
24
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Fourteen hundred years later, in 1910,
25
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,920
anthropologist Ales Hrdlicka...
26
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,840
...came to Cahuachi
to study the ancient Nazca civilization.
27
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,790
During the dig he unearthed
some of the most surprising...
28
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,240
...and shocking artifacts
he had ever seen.
29
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:32,840
They were skulls with enormous,
elongated craniums.
30
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,800
Where did they come from?
31
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,760
How did they get there?
32
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,080
And were they human?
33
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,640
In Peru, we find this weird
elongated skulls.
34
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,080
And they're bizarre-looking, I mean.
And these people looked like aliens.
35
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560
One may say, okay, aliens.
36
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:06,480
But another aspect we have to consider
is that skull and cranial deformation...
37
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,310
...forming elongated heads is a practice
that's known...
38
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,560
...throughout much of the ancient world.
39
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,190
In 1870, the process of skull
deformation was well-chronicled...
40
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,000
...by a German botanist and explorer
named George Schweinfurth.
41
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,240
While exploring the African Congo,
42
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,680
he came in contact
with the tribe called the Mangbetu.
43
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,440
They routinely performed the ritual
of cranial binding...
44
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,640
...that allowed them to physically alter
the shape of human skulls.
45
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,160
They took infants' skulls
and compressed them and bound them,
46
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,560
and they forced the cranium
out and elongated.
47
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480
And in many cases, they doubled the size.
48
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,080
And the big question is,
why was this being done?
49
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,680
It may have been a way to distinguish...
50
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,670
...the elite perhaps
from the everyday people;
51
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,680
May have been a social stratification
type of issue.
52
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,240
Something that also appeals to me
is that...
53
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,350
...it may have been a way
to express physically...
54
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,870
...and maybe try to achieve physically
greater levels of consciousness...
55
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,120
...or higher levels of mental ability.
56
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:34,840
In my opinion,
they did this in order to mimic the gods.
57
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,960
And those gods were physical beings,
58
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,200
because if they were just a figment
of our ancestors' imagination...
59
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,760
I don't think that's a compelling enough
reason to expose your children...
60
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,640
...to such a ritual to achieve
that type of look.
61
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,550
And in my opinion,
62
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,240
these people were misinterpreted
flesh-and-blood space travelers.
63
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,840
Some people have suggested
aliens have elongated skulls.
64
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,880
And, apparently, ancient peoples
are mimicking those skulls.
65
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,240
The old saying is that imitation
is the sincerest form of flattery.
66
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,510
Although there have been many images...
67
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,600
that attempt to depict
what aliens might actually look like,
68
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,360
one in particular has come to dominate
the public perception.
69
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,560
It too features an elongated cranium,
70
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,360
and is associated with an extraterrestrial
race that many refer to as the Greys.
71
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,160
In terms of entities, one very common
description on the so-called Greys,
72
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:47,870
3.5, 4 feet tall, essentially humanoid,
but very spindly,
73
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,000
with disproportionately large heads
and huge black almond-shaped eyes.
74
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,880
But would someone
in a primitive society...
75
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,880
really want to replicate this look
and deform their skull?
76
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,640
Some archaeologist
have a different perspective.
77
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:10,880
They point to artistic self-expression
as an explanation of these customs.
78
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,800
There are all kinds of people that either
worship the body or use the body as art,
79
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,680
be it a tattoo or piercing of some sort,
80
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,510
or tribes that put things in
their ears or on their lips...
81
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,190
...to try to grow parts of their body.
82
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,200
Some societies we know
practice binding parts of the body,
83
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,640
feet or heads,
and try to make certain shapes.
84
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,430
And this was done for whatever reason...
85
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,030
...we know today that this isn't usually
the most healthy thing to do.
86
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,750
But it doesn't mean people don't do it.
87
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:42,160
People are always trying to change
their body to make it look a certain way.
88
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,800
Whatever the explanation
may be for these rituals,
89
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,240
they are not just found in
Peru and the African Congo.
90
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Skull deformation is a global phenomenon.
91
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,240
What's really strange
is that this is found all over the world.
92
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,920
And this is something
that archaeologists cannot easily explain.
93
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:10,880
Because for people on remote islands,
94
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,760
for people in South America
or Malta, or in Africa,
95
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:22,080
to suddenly independently do this cranial
deformation like this seems incredible.
96
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,800
I mean this is something
that had to be learned,
97
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,520
something that was taught to them.
98
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,550
We seem to have basic similarities...
99
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,600
...as if there was one civilization
or at least one type of culture...
100
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,120
...that was influencing
people around the world.
101
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,590
I find it more and more difficult
to believe...
102
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,630
...what I was taught
as an undergraduate...
103
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,840
that all these different cultures
just coincidentally...
104
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,080
...came up with these same concepts
independently of each other.
105
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,760
Could it be that the elongated
skulls found throughout the world...
106
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,760
...are really the result
of ancient humans...
107
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,280
...trying to emulate the appearance
of otherworldly visitors?
108
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Or could they really be the skulls
of extraterrestrials?
109
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,560
Ancient Astronaut theorists
believe further clues can be found...
110
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,160
by examining other strange bones
and relics,
111
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,120
relics that may provide proof of giants.
112
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,320
Lovelock, Nevada.
113
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,000
In the early 1800s...
114
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:50,840
...local legends passed down by the Paiute
Indians told of a race of giants...
115
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,880
...who were exterminated by their tribe.
116
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,120
It is said this was done
by trapping the giants in a cave,
117
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,000
shooting arrows at them.
118
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,560
And then starting a large fire
at the mouth of the cave.
119
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,000
Evidence of this slaughter lay
undisturbed until the early 20th century.
120
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Lovelock Cave was first discovered
by local ranchers...
121
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,520
...who were looking for bat guano
to use in their fields.
122
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,920
In need of fertilizers for their crops,
123
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,630
...the ranchers removed nearly
10 feet of guano in rich soil
124
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,360
...from the surface of the cave.
125
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,120
And then they began
finding human remains.
126
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,040
They found up to 40 or 50 people
inside this cave.
127
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,960
One was allegedly 7 feet, 7 inches tall.
128
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:59,160
They all had long red hair
and were literal giants.
129
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:05,720
If these skeletons were the remains
of the legendary red-hair giants,
130
00:10:06,560 --> 00:10:08,920
were they visitors
from distant continents?
131
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:15,230
Throughout the 19th century, many giant
skeletons were allegedly discovered...
132
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,920
...in the Midwest, also in parts
of California and around Death Valley.
133
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,840
And the skeletons here found at Lovelock
134
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,600
...are one of the few that were really
excavated by an accredited university.
135
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:35,200
Archaeologists from the Nevada Historical
Society and the University of California
136
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,920
...believe the cave was occupied
from approximately 1,500 BC...
137
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,400
...until a few hundred years before white
men appeared in the Nevada territory.
138
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,400
Seventy-five miles from the cave site,
139
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,720
a local museum has preserved
several skulls...
140
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,160
...that some believe are recovered
remains of the giants.
141
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,600
Inside this cabinet here are three skulls
from the Lovelock Cave.
142
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,960
When you first see these skulls,
143
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,880
they seem to be pretty much
normal-looking skulls.
144
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:20,400
However, it's when we really
start to compare the jaw bones...
145
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:27,040
...with this modern dental
impression of a normal adult male...
146
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,960
...that we see that these jaw
bones are unusually large.
147
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,920
And these are really the skulls
of giant people...
148
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,720
...who were perhaps 7, even 8 feet tall.
149
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:45,960
One of the odd things with these skulls
150
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,160
...is that they're not actually
put on display here at the museum...
151
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,080
...and they're kept in this cabinet.
152
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:59,480
Now, we don't know if that's really just
out of respect for Native Americans,
153
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,680
or whether there's really something
unusual about these giant skulls...
154
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,400
...that they don't want them displayed.
155
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,670
Are the Nevada bones
evidence of a race of giants...
156
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,560
...that existed all through
early human history?
157
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,080
If so, could the giants
be the descendants of extraterrestrials?
158
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,200
According to the Hebrew testament,
159
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,800
one such giant appeared
in the Valley of Elah 2,500 years ago.
160
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,470
Each morning for 40 days,
161
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:36,320
a Philistine giant over 9 feet tall
challenged the Israelites to a fight.
162
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,360
His name was Goliath,
163
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,960
David and Goliath is one of
those episodes in the Bible...
164
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,360
...where you wonder what is going on.
165
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,760
Is it just a metaphor or are we dealing
with a fundamental interpretation?
166
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,520
And in that sense,
Goliath has to be a giant creature.
167
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,640
The question then is, he cannot be human,
what is he?
168
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,680
David's stunning triumph over Goliath
was considered a mere fable,
169
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,510
until archaeologists turned up evidence...
170
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,160
...that suggests this confrontation
really did happen.
171
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,120
On the outskirts of Tell es-Safi, Israel
172
00:13:19,560 --> 00:13:24,280
scientists discovered a moat that may have
once protected the Philistine fortress.
173
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,760
Nearby, they found shards of pottery
inscribed with the name Goliath.
174
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,070
Tests indicate the pottery
is from the same time period...
175
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,800
...as described in the Bible.
176
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,120
Ancient Astronaut theorists claim
this is unmistakable evidence...
177
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,400
...of extraterrestrial
giants in Biblical times.
178
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:52,200
Are we dealing with metaphors
or are we dealing with hard evidence?
179
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,280
Are these physical creatures
which somehow roamed the earth?
180
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,280
And I think on volume, we have to accept
that some of these were real.
181
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,080
The question then is how did
these genetic freaks come about.
182
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,470
One of the main tenets
of Ancient Astronaut Theory suggests...
183
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:14,840
...that a long time ago extraterrestrials
changed our genetic makeup...
184
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,000
...through a targeted mutation
of our genes, essentially in the lab.
185
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:27,040
So, they took a couple of human
beings, altered their DNA,
186
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,080
then reinserted those people
back into population,
187
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,230
so through procreation those
people would pass on...
188
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,080
those new genetic alterations
to the entire population.
189
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Ancient Astronaut Theory suggest
the evidence points to one conclusion,
190
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,200
that aliens changed the genetics
of early human DNA.
191
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,960
For an alien being to work with DNA
is so easy...
192
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,360
that just creating a new type
is not at all that difficult.
193
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,320
Even today, we have the capability
to create new types of animals.
194
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,240
The question is will we create it
as such as well.
195
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,040
Did giants really walked the earth
thousands of years ago?
196
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,200
And if so, could they have been
from another world,
197
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:23,520
or perhaps the result
of alien experimentation with human DNA?
198
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Perhaps the answer can be found...
199
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,600
...by examining the stories of yet
another type of otherworldly being,
200
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,760
winged creatures
that descended from the sky as angels.
201
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,000
Rome, Italy.
202
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,440
Stored in the treasury
of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican...
203
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,280
...is the sarcophagus of Junius Bassus.
204
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,600
Constructed in 359 AD, the sarcophagus
features what some believe...
205
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,400
...to be the earliest known depiction
of winged angels in all of Christianity.
206
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,800
In the centuries that followed,
207
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,760
angels were almost always depicted
as having wings.
208
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:18,920
But why?
209
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Especially since
the actual biblical texts...
210
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,360
...rarely describe angels
as having bird-like appendages.
211
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,400
The vast majority of the
stories in the old testament...
212
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,920
...angels aren't described as having wings
at all.
213
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Some of them, they look human.
214
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,440
When the angel comes to visit Abraham,
this angel does not have wings.
215
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:41,800
He looks like a man.
216
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,920
Abraham bows to him, which is interesting.
217
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,720
How did Abraham know
if he looks like a human being?
218
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,680
What was it that gave Abraham clue
to run over and bow down to him?
219
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,990
And so, there's a supernatural quality.
220
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,840
There's a superhuman quality
that they acknowledge,
221
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,040
that this was a person
who was a little more than human.
222
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,590
A concept of the angel as such...
223
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,280
...comes directly
out of the Graeco-Roman tradition.
224
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,280
Stories of Hermes and Iris
kind coming down and giving messages.
225
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,430
Envisioning them as beings
like human beings,
226
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,160
kind of looking like human
beings and being benevolent.
227
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,520
There are plenty of other beings
which have these beautiful wings,
228
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,630
these kind of forms and shapes.
229
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,400
But all of these beings,
however they are conceived of,
230
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:37,640
...are a way of telling us
that we have a hard time understanding...
231
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000
...what it is that separates us
from them, from the gods.
232
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,120
They have to be these kind of weird beings
who have wings.
233
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,080
Angels show up at various cultures
as probably misidentified technology.
234
00:17:52,360 --> 00:17:56,080
If they saw someone, a human being
or a humanoid, flying in the skies,
235
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,960
they can only give it a natural review,
giving it wings.
236
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,680
I don't think they actually had wings.
237
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,680
It was ancient man's way of saying
they had the power of flight.
238
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,920
The angels that had wings
that we're used to seeing...
239
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,600
...depicted in pictures of the Bible
or what have you,
240
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,120
basically the wings say
these beings can fly.
241
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,270
So, we believe in angels,
242
00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:22,200
and the Native Americans
talk about the Star People.
243
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,640
The Egyptians talk about the gods
coming to and from the Earth.
244
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,760
So, I believe this is the basis,
this is the template...
245
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,630
...for the civilizations
of the earth's religious practices.
246
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:36,680
I believe that.
247
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,960
For centuries, religious tradition
has perpetuated the notion
248
00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:48,760
...of bird-like wings to explain
an angel's mode of travel.
249
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,080
But is such a concept even
scientifically plausible?
250
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,680
In 2009, a study
at University College London...
251
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:05,200
...compared classic depictions of winged
angels with actual bird physiology.
252
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,200
You have to be able to flap down
and flap up.
253
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,960
And you really need a separate muscle
to do each of these.
254
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,600
On the way down,
you're generating the lift.
255
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,350
And you actually have to rotate the wings
slightly...
256
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,160
...and get a different angle
as you come up.
257
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,000
And then they actually generate
their thrust.
258
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,480
Otherwise if you just went up and down
in the same straight pattern,
259
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,790
you'd be making lift one way
260
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,641
but when you went back the other way
you just push yourself back down.
261
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,800
So when you look at the
classic pictures of angels,
262
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,400
the wings are centered
on their back very close together.
263
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,120
Whereas the birds with the wings
on the side can have longer muscles...
264
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,800
...with that great strength
that go into moving them up and down
265
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,230
With the wings on the back,
they're gonna look like...
266
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,880
they're gonna flap more like this
than up and down
267
00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:00,160
Researchers also concluded that angels,
given their humanoid interpretation,
268
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,800
would be simply to heavy for flight.
269
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,440
We're not designed aerodynamically.
270
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,120
And we're quite heavy.
I mean we're solid bones, solid muscle.
271
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,720
So, those two features
you have to overcome.
272
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,120
But if angels could not have
possessed actual wings,
273
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,280
how have they managed to travel
to and from the heavens?
274
00:20:27,120 --> 00:20:30,440
Angels were never described to fly around
like Superman.
275
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,880
But they sort of had
a vertical ascent into the sky,
276
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,640
or when they descended,
it was a vertical descent.
277
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,160
How was that possible?
278
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,840
In 1953, Bell Aerosystems
developed the rocket belt,
279
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,240
the precursor
to today's workable jet pack.
280
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,840
Designed to lift individuals
vertically into the air...
281
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,400
...and glide them across the skies,
282
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,520
today's jet packs can reach
altitudes of over 8,000 feet...
283
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,000
...and travel at speeds
of up to 60 miles per hour.
284
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,640
If you look at a modern jet pack,
285
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,520
humans are ascending
and descending in a vertical position.
286
00:21:16,360 --> 00:21:21,760
Now imagine if that picture was shown
to our ancestors. How would they react?
287
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:30,520
Obviously, they will say, wow,
this creature must be divine.
288
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,070
This creature must be some type
of a god...
289
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,360
...because they've got the capability
of flight.
290
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,160
They're like birds.
Not even the sky is the limit to them.
291
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:49,880
Did our ancestors tried to explain
an ancient alien technology...
292
00:21:50,360 --> 00:21:53,480
...by suggesting that
extraterrestrial visitors...
293
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,320
...were heavenly visitors
with bird-like wings?
294
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,720
If the answer is yes,
295
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:05,960
the implications are both profound
and potentially disturbing.
296
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,080
For if angels are actual visitors
from other worlds,
297
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,360
then what is their mission?
298
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,120
Are they simply watching us?
299
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,560
Or is there, perhaps,
a more sinister purpose?
300
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,120
Oaxaca, Mexico.
301
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,320
Situated on a low mountain range,
rising above the central plain,
302
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,720
lie the ancient ruins of Monte Albán.
303
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,440
Here, around 100 BC, researchers believe
the Zapotec Indians...
304
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,000
...worshiped a bloodthirsty Mayan god,
305
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,640
with a body of a man
and the head of a bat.
306
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,520
They called him Camazotz
307
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,360
The iconography is rather striking.
308
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,400
The image of a half man, half bat.
309
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,240
A man with the head of a bat
and wing-like cloak spread out...
310
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,560
...with crosses of bones in the lining.
311
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:14,360
The Zapotec people
in Oaxaca area of Mexico...
312
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,160
...believed that winged creatures,
bat-like creatures come in the night.
313
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:25,440
They will attack and they will drink blood
and disappear without ever being noticed.
314
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,800
This is simply
a sort of anthropomorphic bat...
315
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:37,600
...which was worshiped
by the sacrifice of libations of blood.
316
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,920
So what they did
was they cut themselves...
317
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,440
...and poured it into a bowl
and offered it to the god.
318
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,960
Blood was a very important substance
to the Mayan.
319
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,080
That is what gave humans life.
320
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Blood and breath
was what the essence of life was.
321
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,190
That's where this "cajul",
this divine essence, resided,
322
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,760
in blood and in breath.
323
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,480
When you would die,
324
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,920
you entered into the underworld
that was called Xibalba.
325
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,720
Then if you defeated the lords of death,
326
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,160
you would then ascend to the heavens and
become one of the revered ancestors.
327
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:25,720
The blood is the thing that reconnects...
328
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,040
...the world that we live in
with the world of the dead.
329
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,750
Some of the earliest
archaeological evidence...
330
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,120
...shows that blood rituals were present
as far back as we can search.
331
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:49,720
Legends and myths of supernatural beings
with traits similar to vampires...
332
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,360
...are a part
of nearly every ancient culture.
333
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,360
In Hindu folklore, for example,
the vetala was known as an evil spirit...
334
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,120
...that took demonic possession
of corpses.
335
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,200
The Indian goddess Kali was also
intimately linked with blood sacrifices.
336
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,750
Kali becomes the destroyer.
337
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,120
And she is portrayed
as a hag-like woman...
338
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,000
...with a whole number of arms...
339
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,150
...each carrying a sword.
340
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,560
She is the goddess
of death and destruction.
341
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:30,360
Her eyes are red
and she drips blood from her mouth.
342
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,080
She's known to take infants
from their crib and drink their blood.
343
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,960
In North America, early Cherokees
believed in a bloodthirsty creature...
344
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:49,280
...that slaughtered humans,
drank their blood, and ate their livers...
345
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,000
...known as the Utlunta.
346
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,600
This demon was said to possess
eternal life while feeding on the living.
347
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,760
The notion of the thing
from the spirit world...
348
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,640
...traveling through
the various Indian nations...
349
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,480
...was a great fear...
350
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,040
...among not only the Cherokee
but also the Sioux and Arapaho.
351
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:17,880
But who or what
are these mysterious creatures?
352
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,560
And where did they come from?
353
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,080
Might they be as Ancient
Astronaut theorist believe...
354
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,360
...extraterrestrial beings
abandoned here on Earth?
355
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,760
In the ancient Jewish Talmud...
356
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,360
the Genesis story set in the Garden
of Eden includes Adam and Eve.
357
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,320
But also a woman called Lilith.
358
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,680
In Jewish folklore,
Lilith was the first wife of Adam.
359
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,600
She was created from the same earth
as Adam, not from his rib as Eve was.
360
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,870
But she proved to be very disobedient
and uncontrollable,
361
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:01,640
and had to be banished.
362
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,400
According to the Talmud,
when Lilith refused to obey Adam...
363
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:14,000
...God sent three angels to convince her
to submit to his authority.
364
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,400
But when Lilith refused
for the final time,
365
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,680
God condemned her to live on Earth
for eternity.
366
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,720
In a sense, Lilith was the first vampire
to wander the earth.
367
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,080
She shared all of the characteristics
of female vampires.
368
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,790
Lilith had the head
and breast of a woman,
369
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,590
the body of a snake
and the wings of a bird.
370
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,280
She's a terrifying creature.
371
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,360
In Jewish tradition,
Lilith has been a kind of night demon...
372
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,280
...against whom incantations
and prayers have to be offered...
373
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,640
...because she will come and snatch away
an infant sleeping in its crib...
374
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,200
...or at least snatch away its soul
and cause it to die.
375
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,080
But why are tales
of bloodsucking creatures...
376
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,640
...so prevalent throughout
the ancient world?
377
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600
Might blood
and the unique chemistry of it...
378
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:20,200
...serve as a kind of cosmic fuel,
one that connects the living to the dead,
379
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:26,080
the human to the inhuman,
the earthly to the otherworldly?
380
00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:32,760
Blood is the life force of humans...
381
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,640
...and it was very important
to extraterrestrials too.
382
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,790
There's something very special
about our blood.
383
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,200
So, we have to think
that if this blood sacrifices...
384
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:46,240
...aren't some distortion
of what was originally...
385
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:52,600
...just extraterrestrials showing us
how important our blood was.
386
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,320
Angels, demons, the Greys.
387
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,600
Are they all various interpretations
of one type of extraterrestrial species?
388
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,760
A species that has been visiting
our planet for thousands of years.
389
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:17,480
Or are they descriptions
of several different alien visitors?
390
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,080
Ancient Astronaut theorists believe
further clues can be found...
391
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,680
...by examining the ancient Greek
stories of Fish People.
392
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,240
Cape Sounion, Greece.
393
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,280
Perched on the headland,
surrounded on three sides by the sea,
394
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,600
lies the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon,
built in 440 BC.
395
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,000
The second son of the Titan king Cronos,
396
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,560
Poseidon was worshiped throughout Greece,
397
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,720
almost as much
as his younger brother Zeus.
398
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:57,910
Poseidon was the god of the sea.
399
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,120
He was also the god of earthquake
and, strangely, horses.
400
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,350
When Poseidon was in a good mood,
he created new lands out of the sea,
401
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,160
he gave calm waters for good voyages.
402
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,360
When he was in a bad mood,
he destroyed ships and brought storms.
403
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,400
Poseidon does rule over the kingdom
of the sea.
404
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,440
It is envisioned as a kind of a place
where people lived.
405
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,350
And when he comes out of that place,
406
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,760
yes, he rides this spectacular
kind of like water chariot...
407
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,080
...that is driven by dolphins
and he holds on to a really big trident.
408
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,480
In Greek mythology, Cronus eats
all of his children except for Zeus,
409
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,800
who eventually rescues his siblings,
including Poseidon...
410
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,640
...from the belly of his father.
411
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,110
A potion is prepared that makes him
heave up all the other siblings of Zeus,
412
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,920
and these becomes the gods of Olympus.
413
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,760
But Ancient Astronaut theorists...
414
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:57,000
...believe this Greek myth is actually
a metaphor for an extraterrestrial events.
415
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,040
They believe the notion...
416
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,480
...of gods being vomited up from
the belly of their father...
417
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,720
...actually describes mutinous aliens
being expelled from the mother ship.
418
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,470
Any being which is swallowed
up into a living creature...
419
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,480
...will not be able to survive
for three days.
420
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,880
It will die from suffocation
and will begin to decay.
421
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,120
What we have here is not a creature
but something else.
422
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,880
It could have been the object
which was clearly...
423
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,360
...of a man-made
or extraterrestrial origin.
424
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,840
A mutiny took place.
425
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,240
Some of the extraterrestrials...
426
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,360
...they had sex with wonderful
earthly females, women.
427
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,040
They were not allowed to do this.
428
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,950
So, one of these extraterrestrials
who were not allowed to go back...
429
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,200
...with the mother spaceship
had the name of Poseidon.
430
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:54,800
Poseidon fell in love
with a beautiful human girl.
431
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,000
And he made her pregnant.
432
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,630
Poseidon is married, right?
433
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,720
He's got a child who's got some
grandchildren, right?
434
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,030
There's the whole cast of sea nymphs
as well.
435
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,040
All of them presumably,
like, live in this place.
436
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:14,520
Poseidon has the power of the deep,
the unseen place.
437
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,430
If you look out to the sea,
you see a surface,
438
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,830
and you're aware there's a whole world
below that,
439
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,040
suggesting powers
beyond that which meet the eye.
440
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,760
Among the mythical creatures
associated with Poseidon...
441
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,800
...are the Telchines,
a race of advanced fish children.
442
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:37,240
These human-like beings
could live both in and out of water.
443
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,280
They are masters of technology,
444
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,640
and seem to match up with the fish gods
of ancient Sumeria who worked for Enki,
445
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,000
the great god of alchemy
and technology and smith craft.
446
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:53,240
The Telchines are also kind of
in the shadowy territory...
447
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,720
...of god, human, monsters things.
448
00:32:56,040 --> 00:33:01,800
They're just these kind of figures who
are not gods but were like human beings.
449
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,880
There's one story about the Roman version
of Zeus, Jupiter, trying to destroy them.
450
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:09,590
Now, we don't know whether they are
actually all destroyed,
451
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,840
but it's possibly it's because
of their relationship to the magic.
452
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,640
In Greek legend,
the Telchines were also metallurgists.
453
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,640
They were said to have created
Poseidon's magical trident...
454
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,920
...and to have cast the first bronze
statues of the gods of Olympus.
455
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,360
And according to some historians...
456
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,600
...the Telchines may not have been
creatures of myth,
457
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,520
but were beings who actually existed.
458
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,360
They were people called Telchines.
459
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,560
We do actually have evidence
of these beings.
460
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,400
They were actual ancient Greeks
who had specific tasks and trades,
461
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:58,080
like metallurgy, like smithing, and so on.
462
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,800
And so you could see how it is
that a being like Telchines...
463
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,360
...that these things could in fact
not just be these mythological beings,
464
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,790
but like actual people.
465
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,430
So, the way we look at the ancient Greeks
and Romans would have been the way...
466
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,480
...they would've looked at the stories
that are being told about the Iliad.
467
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,230
We've got these stories
of the Telchines...
468
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:25,360
...and they were able to survive
underwater for unlimited amounts of time.
469
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:31,680
How is such a thing possible unless you
have access to some type of technology?
470
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:40,600
An Israeli company is currently developing
a human artificial gill system...
471
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:46,150
...that allows humans to take oxygen
from surrounding water...
472
00:34:46,240 --> 00:34:49,800
...without the need of oxygen tanks.
473
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:56,480
You potentially can remain underwater
for unlimited amounts of time.
474
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,440
All the technology
that we are discovering today...
475
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:08,280
...is in fact old news.
It's been around before.
476
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,720
Could the ancient Greek myths
really be based on actual events?
477
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:20,280
And if so, were the Telchines early
humans in possession of alien technology?
478
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,440
Or could they themselves have been
otherworldly beings?
479
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,710
Perhaps the answer can be found...
480
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:33,120
...by exploring the Middle Eastern stories
of shapeshifters known as the jinn.
481
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,960
Temple Mount, Old City, Jerusalem.
482
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,000
It was here that many biblical stories
reportedly occurred,
483
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:52,080
including the binding of Isaac
from Genesis 22.
484
00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:00,560
In the story, God asks Abraham to
sacrifice his son Isaac on Mount Moriah.
485
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,960
Abraham sets out to obey God's command.
486
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,840
But after binding his son
and preparing for the sacrifice,
487
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,240
he is stopped at the last minute
by an angel.
488
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,040
Conventional interpretations
of the story usually conclude...
489
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,200
...that God only wanted to test
Abraham's faith.
490
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:28,520
But Ancient Astronaut theorists suggests
the tale has another interpretation.
491
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:35,200
In my opinion, god "God" would never ask
such a question.
492
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:41,640
So, is it possible
that it was a fallen angel/alien...
493
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,640
...extraterrestrial who posed as God.
494
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,680
God never demands human sacrifice
495
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,590
Human sacrifice is totally anathema
to Christianity...
496
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,960
...and it's totally anathema to God
as a creator.
497
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,880
The French philosopher Sartre
very famously wrote...
498
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,480
if an angel were to tell me I needed
to sacrifice my son, I'd ask for some ID.
499
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,720
Maybe somebody else impersonating a god.
500
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,360
And do we then have somebody stepping in
to actually prevent this from happening?
501
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,160
Are we in fact maybe confronted
with two warring civilizations...
502
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,040
...trying to control what is happening
in the stories of the Bible.
503
00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:29,320
Just like there are good people
and bad people here on Earth,
504
00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:32,800
there's good and bad extraterrestrials
out there.
505
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,480
Good and evil
permeates the entire universe.
506
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,120
Yin and Yang. There's a balance.
507
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:45,760
Deep inside the Middle Eastern country
of Oman,
508
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,560
a mysterious cavern lies hidden
far beneath the surface...
509
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,160
...called Majlis Al Jinn,
or meeting place of the jinn.
510
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:58,320
It stretches more than 14 acres
underground,
511
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,720
and is one of the world's 10 largest
caves<./i>
512
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:08,280
Many Omanis still believe this cavern and
others like it are actually inhabited...
513
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:14,120
...by supernatural creatures of Islamic
folklore called jinn or genies,
514
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:18,080
mystical creatures that are usually
invisible to man.
515
00:38:20,240 --> 00:38:23,480
One interesting aspect of the jinns
is an element of free will.
516
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,630
They're like angels,
but we think of angels in the west...
517
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:30,800
...as under the direct command
of the divine powers.
518
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,070
But the jinn can make some decisions
for themselves,
519
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,720
and some of them are a little contrary
or curious in their way of being.
520
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,560
According to Islamic theology,
521
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,360
genies often reveal themselves
to humans with messages,
522
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,160
which can be either benevolent
or deceptive.
523
00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:54,600
But is it possible that genies
actually exist?
524
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:57,920
If so, where did they come from?
525
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,760
When we talk about genie,
genie in a bottle,
526
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,160
it's very interesting,
because you rub the bottle...
527
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,040
...and then the genie comes out of it
and then fulfills your wishes.
528
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,800
Well, let's look at this
from a modern-day perspective.
529
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,160
If you have a little container,
530
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,440
and you push a button
and a hologram comes out,
531
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,120
then could that be a genie in a bottle?
532
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,280
And according to the Ancient Astronaut
theory...
533
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,880
that is exactly what happened
where extraterrestrials used holograms...
534
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:32,240
...in order to relay messages.
That is essentially a genie in a bottle.
535
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,720
Like angels, Jinn are said to be able
to appear and disappear at will,
536
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,680
and they're sometimes only heard
as disembodied voices.
537
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,120
But while some Ancient Astronaut theorist
believe...
538
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,600
...this behavior resembles
that of extraterrestrials,
539
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:57,600
others claim that angels, jinn,
and other supernatural creatures...
540
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,280
...have origins right here on Earth.
541
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,640
They call these beings ultra-terrestrial.
542
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,480
Ultraterrestrials are possible beings
that travel...
543
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,280
...and visit us from other dimensions.
544
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,600
We know that we all vibrate in a three
dimensional space at a certain frequency.
545
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,710
It's very possible that other beings
vibrate at a higher frequency...
546
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,560
...and are able to pass more easily
into other dimensions.
547
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,870
The ultra-terrestrial theory
would also explain...
548
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,240
...the folkloric creatures,
the angelic creatures,
549
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:34,480
any sort of experience of a strange,
supernatural, or alien being...
550
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,200
...that's occurred throughout history.
551
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,880
Angels and demons.
552
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,640
Giants and genies.
553
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,160
Did they actually exist?
554
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:52,240
And if so, could they have come here
from somewhere out of this world?
555
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,830
But why?
556
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:59,040
Were they sent here to shape
mankind's past or its future?
557
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:03,160
Do they mean to do us harm or good?
558
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,240
Perhaps even more importantly,
could they still be here,
559
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,920
living among us, undetected?
