00:00:00Sacred visions that altered the course of history and chosen messengers among us, guided by an unseen hand.
00:00:12For nearly two decades, ancient aliens has traveled the globe exploring towering megalithic structures,
00:00:20mysterious artifacts, and stories of otherworldly beings in a quest for evidence that might reveal the truth
00:00:29of our extraterrestrial origins.
00:00:32When we look back on human history, we find this incredible lineage of messengers, but today we call them contactees.
00:00:40Now, we take a look back through the ancient aliens' archives to the show's very origins
00:00:47to examine the evidence that we are not alone.
00:00:51We have never been alone.
00:00:59When you study ancient cultures, there are so many stories of messengers imparting information
00:01:08from the gods to humanity.
00:01:10Yeah, and what's even more fascinating is that many of these ancient cultures tell identical old stories.
00:01:18So you have to ask yourself, how was this possible unless we are talking about a physical encounter
00:01:24with extraterrestrials?
00:01:26Yeah, and some of the most incredible accounts are in the Bible's Old Testament.
00:01:30We talked about these biblical messengers back in 2013 in an episode of Ancient Aliens called
00:01:36Prophets and Prophecies.
00:01:37This mountain rising out of the Sinai Desert is believed by some to be the site of two of
00:01:54history's most important divine encounters.
00:01:56the peak where the biblical patriarch Moses encountered the burning bush, and the place where Moses later
00:02:06received the Ten Commandments from God.
00:02:10But what was the true nature of Moses' divine encounter?
00:02:15Was he a normal human, randomly chosen to deliver the word of God?
00:02:20Or did he possess a special gift, an inherent ability to communicate with other worldly forces?
00:02:30Mystical literature from all over the world has accounts of visitations from angels, gods,
00:02:37some kind of supernatural creatures that interact and interfere, that represent some powers beyond
00:02:44our understanding.
00:02:45We see this in the Bible with Moses.
00:02:47He is just one of several examples of leaders who are guided by divine guidance, who really
00:02:54are getting the help of the gods into getting to their goal.
00:02:58In addition to stories of the prophet Moses, the Hebrew and Christian Testaments also feature
00:03:05similar accounts of numerous other prophets, including Elijah, Isaiah, Noah, Abraham, Enoch, and Jesus.
00:03:18Prophets are a major element in almost all ancient societies.
00:03:22These were people who functioned sort of as liaisons between the mortal world and the immortal world,
00:03:28between the gods and the humans.
00:03:30They have a message, which is a communication from God.
00:03:34But what's very interesting about that, it's not just a message.
00:03:37The presence of God is felt to be in the words of the prophet himself.
00:03:40So the one who hears a prophet actually is encountering the presence of God and not just
00:03:44a message from God.
00:03:46So if you have a prophet who is an authority figure in your community and he says,
00:03:51this god is upset about this, you need to do X, Y, or Z to placate this god or goddess,
00:03:57you did it.
00:03:58But was the source of these prophetic messages truly of a divine nature?
00:04:05According to ancient astronaut theorists, there is perhaps another possible explanation
00:04:11as to who or what may have been contacting these prophets of the ancient past.
00:04:17What we're beginning to realize is that this is not religious, but that these are people
00:04:24who have had anomalous experiences with entities and that this is contact with a non-human intelligence.
00:04:32Prophets and prophecies are evidence that these higher beings are instructing us to help create
00:04:40civilization, for us to move forward, and even to give us some warning of the future,
00:04:49this is what's going to happen, you need to get ready.
00:04:52Is it really possible that extraterrestrial beings made contact with the ancient prophets?
00:05:03Perhaps the answers can be found by looking further into the story of Moses, as written
00:05:09more than 3,000 years ago and chronicled in the Hebrew Testament's book of Exodus.
00:05:15Moses' first encounter with God occurs in the third chapter of the book of Exodus.
00:05:25Moses encounters a burning bush and God speaks to him out of this burning bush.
00:05:29And Moses was given a mission, and the mission is to liberate the Hebrews indentured in Egypt.
00:05:34The idea of the burning bush is very interesting to me, because things like burning bushes really
00:05:42don't exist, especially if they all of a sudden give instructions.
00:05:49So we have to ask ourselves, what did our ancestors describe?
00:05:53And so the burning bush idea could have been a technological creation, which Moses described as a burning bush.
00:06:07Might the burning bush, as described by Moses, really have been an extraterrestrial device,
00:06:14a machine, or perhaps even a type of spacecraft?
00:06:19If so, then with whom, or with what, was Moses really communicating?
00:06:28Perhaps more clues can be found in the story of another equally mysterious close encounter.
00:06:37Talat Daba, Egypt.
00:06:40Some scholars and researchers believe that it was here, in the northeastern region of the Nile Delta,
00:06:47where the Israelites began their exodus, and where Moses had his second divine encounter,
00:06:54this time with an incredible object in the sky.
00:06:59They were met partway toward their destination by what I would call a biblical UFO.
00:07:07In Exodus chapter 13, verses 21 and 22, it says,
00:07:11The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, and by night in a pillar of fire.
00:07:17The pillar did not depart from before the people, meaning that it was always there.
00:07:23Well, what the Bible tells us is that it is the presence of God manifesting himself in a dramatic way,
00:07:29accompanying the Israelites.
00:07:30The question has always been asked, well, what was that cloud of fire?
00:07:35What is it? Is it God?
00:07:37Or, as the ancient alien theory suggests, it could have been some type of a craft,
00:07:43a beacon that they had to follow.
00:07:46The Hebrew people, they were following the object,
00:07:49and it makes it very clear that whenever the object was on the ground,
00:07:53the people stopped and camped.
00:07:55When it was taken up, they broke camp, and they moved forward.
00:08:00The object was leading them.
00:08:02In the description of a pillar of cloud and a fire,
00:08:05a pillar is cylindrical in shape, and perhaps quite hard or solid.
00:08:10This is very similar to UFOs that are reported now.
00:08:14The flying saucer types are more famous,
00:08:16but the cylindrical shaped UFOs are very common,
00:08:19and they can be very large, up to a half mile in length, perhaps.
00:08:22Some students of UFOs think these are motherships,
00:08:27and the fact that it's a cloud by day suggests, as in modern UFOs,
00:08:33that there's some type of halo effect around the UFO.
00:08:38If we look at it in that context,
00:08:40perhaps the ancients would have described a gleaming UFO in the day
00:08:44as a cloud, a bright cloud,
00:08:46and they would have described a brightly lit UFO at night as a fiery pillar.
00:08:53Was this strange pillar of fire and cloud
00:08:56really a physical manifestation of God?
00:08:59Or was it an advanced technological device of an otherworldly origin?
00:09:05As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
00:09:09further clues may lie in the story of Moses' final divine encounter
00:09:13on the summit of Mount Sinai.
00:09:17Moses receives a message from God
00:09:19that he is going to land on Mount Sinai.
00:09:25So he gathers the nation of Israel around the mountain.
00:09:28This huge, bright, glowing cloud lands on Mount Sinai.
00:09:33And it's quite spectacular
00:09:34because it's surrounded by all sorts of preternatural phenomenon
00:09:38of the sounds of trumpets and clouds and fire.
00:09:41And the Jewish people are told
00:09:43to stay at the bottom of Mount Sinai.
00:09:46But Moses is authorized
00:09:48and you might even say protected
00:09:51by the pillar of cloud and fire
00:09:53so that he can go up there
00:09:55and everybody else can't.
00:09:58According to the biblical texts,
00:10:00Moses ascends the mountain
00:10:02and enters the glowing cloud.
00:10:05There, he communes with the almighty God,
00:10:08the creator of the universe.
00:10:11And after 40 days,
00:10:13he returns carrying the Ten Commandments.
00:10:16But for ancient astronaut theorists,
00:10:19the story of what happened on Mount Sinai
00:10:22may, in fact, offer compelling evidence
00:10:25of a very different type of encounter.
00:10:29Moses going up with God,
00:10:31being gone for 40 days,
00:10:32it sounds very much like the contactee experience today,
00:10:35where contactees are given rules and regulations
00:10:39and ideas to follow, you know,
00:10:42in terms of elevating the human race.
00:10:45The commandments that are given
00:10:46go against our very animal nature
00:10:49because to some extent,
00:10:52what the Bible says is
00:10:53that God would will to give divine power to humans
00:10:57if we could handle it.
00:10:58But the problem is
00:10:59that we don't have the ethics to handle it.
00:11:02Thou shalt not kill.
00:11:04Thou shalt not commit adultery.
00:11:05Thou shalt not steal.
00:11:07The Ten Commandments are a start
00:11:09toward handling divine power.
00:11:11And the prophets were picked
00:11:15to be the spokespersons for powers
00:11:18that were trying to rule the world
00:11:21through rules and regulations,
00:11:24commandments that would bring about moral obedience,
00:11:27which is superior to following our animal instincts.
00:11:32Is it possible that Moses' encounter on Mount Sinai
00:11:36was not with the Almighty God,
00:11:38but with some sort of extraterrestrial messenger?
00:11:43One that deliberately sought
00:11:45to guide and govern human behavior.
00:11:50Ancient astronaut theorists
00:11:52say that such a profound
00:11:53and controversial notion is possible
00:11:56and claim additional evidence can be found
00:11:59in the story of yet another Old Testament prophet.
00:12:04One whose teachings were almost entirely erased
00:12:07from the Holy Record.
00:12:12The story of Moses is an extraordinary example
00:12:15of E.T. contact in the Bible.
00:12:17But we've also got to talk about the apocryphal text,
00:12:19stories that were either left out
00:12:21or removed from the Bible.
00:12:22Right, for example, the book of Enoch,
00:12:25which served as a major source of inspiration
00:12:28for Eric von Daniken's chariots of the gods.
00:12:30Because in it, it is described
00:12:33how Enoch is taken into the skies
00:12:36in physical form inside a fiery chariot.
00:12:40Yeah, right.
00:12:41And he delivers knowledge from heaven to earth.
00:12:44And in ancient astronaut theory,
00:12:45this knowledge is coming from some kind of
00:12:48extraterrestrial source.
00:12:50The Tigray Highlands, Ethiopia.
00:12:56Here, 7,000 feet above sea level
00:12:59and clinging to the side of a mountain
00:13:01stands the Abba Garima Monastery.
00:13:06This church is home to one of Christianity's
00:13:09most ancient and spectacular treasures,
00:13:12the Garima Gospels.
00:13:14Consisting of two beautifully illustrated volumes,
00:13:17it has been dated to the 6th century A.D.,
00:13:21making it one of the oldest
00:13:22and most complete Bibles on earth.
00:13:26There is the very earliest Christian churches
00:13:29in Ethiopia.
00:13:30So there is this strong connection
00:13:33to the ancient roots of Western civilization
00:13:35and Western religion in Ethiopia.
00:13:39Ethiopia's biblical connections
00:13:41date back nearly 3,000 years.
00:13:44In the 10th century B.C.,
00:13:46King Solomon,
00:13:47the builder of the first temple in Jerusalem
00:13:49and the keeper of the Ark of the Covenant,
00:13:52was visited by Queen Mekida of Ethiopia,
00:13:56also known as the Queen of Sheba.
00:13:59The Queen of Sheba, it is said,
00:14:02had a relationship with Solomon
00:14:03and had a son.
00:14:05When he came of age,
00:14:07he wanted to meet his father
00:14:08and his mother blessed this journey up to Israel
00:14:12to meet Solomon.
00:14:14And he stayed for some time
00:14:15and then some leaders of the Jewish nation
00:14:19went back with him to Ethiopia.
00:14:22Because of this connection
00:14:23between the Queen of Sheba and Solomon,
00:14:25there is a large Jewish population in Ethiopia.
00:14:29There are many returnees to the Holy Land,
00:14:32to Israel,
00:14:32from Ethiopia
00:14:34and other nearby areas in Africa.
00:14:37Ethiopia is an unusually holy place.
00:14:42Curiously,
00:14:44the Bible used by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church
00:14:47differs from that of other Christian denominations.
00:14:51Its version of the Old Testament
00:14:53includes a controversial text
00:14:55known as the Book of Enoch.
00:14:58The Book of Enoch,
00:15:00a very, very interesting,
00:15:01very ancient document,
00:15:03which is only found in the language of Giez,
00:15:09which is a sort of Ethiopian early language
00:15:12and has over 100 chapters in the full form.
00:15:16So in the Ethiopian church,
00:15:18Enoch is considered a canonical text.
00:15:20In other Christian traditions,
00:15:22it is not.
00:15:23The author of the book,
00:15:24according to the text,
00:15:26is the Jewish patriarch Enoch,
00:15:28the great-grandfather of Noah.
00:15:32Enoch is a biblical figure
00:15:34mentioned in the Book of Genesis,
00:15:35chapter 5.
00:15:38What's interesting about Enoch
00:15:39is a tradition arose
00:15:41that he never died.
00:15:43And this is because
00:15:44in Genesis 5, 24,
00:15:46the text says that
00:15:48Enoch walked with God
00:15:50and then was no more
00:15:52because God took him.
00:15:56But where the Hebrew Bible
00:15:58only mentions Enoch briefly,
00:16:00the Book of Enoch,
00:16:02which consists of more than 100 chapters,
00:16:05greatly expands on his story.
00:16:07In it is a curious passage
00:16:09that details Enoch's ascent to heaven.
00:16:13According to the Book of Enoch,
00:16:15he says he was 12 years old.
00:16:18The whole community of his village
00:16:19wanted to sleep,
00:16:20but then they hear the noise in the sky.
00:16:22Two angels came down from the sky.
00:16:26One of the two beings say to Enoch,
00:16:28don't be afraid, human.
00:16:30Then they went up to so-called heaven.
00:16:34And in the Book of Enoch,
00:16:35we learn of Enoch himself
00:16:36is taken into the heavens
00:16:38in a fiery chariot.
00:16:40Enoch goes up to the so-called sky,
00:16:42and there Enoch sees something
00:16:44over the earth
00:16:45which he cannot describe.
00:16:46He has no word like spaceship or something.
00:16:50He says it looked like houses of crystals.
00:16:54It is described
00:16:55that he sees planet earth underneath him.
00:16:59He actually describes his arrival,
00:17:03how he has to walk
00:17:04through these different rooms
00:17:06where he sees jewels
00:17:08and he sees shiny surfaces
00:17:10and blinking lights.
00:17:13It is an eyewitness account.
00:17:15It's I, Enoch did this.
00:17:17I, Enoch saw that.
00:17:19The Book of Enoch
00:17:19is one of the first abduction accounts
00:17:23written down
00:17:24by a fellow human being.
00:17:27Does the Book of Enoch
00:17:29really describe
00:17:31an actual abduction event?
00:17:33One that took place
00:17:35thousands of years ago.
00:17:37And if so,
00:17:39might this incredible close encounter
00:17:41be documenting communication
00:17:43with other worldly beings?
00:17:47Enoch, he was said to be
00:17:49at the right hand of God.
00:17:50In fact, Enoch was said to be God's scribe
00:17:52in later tradition.
00:17:54So God would decree things,
00:17:56and Enoch was the one
00:17:57who recorded everything that went on.
00:17:58So Enoch was the keeper
00:18:02of all knowledge of heaven.
00:18:05This is one of the reasons
00:18:06why the Book of Enoch
00:18:07is so controversial.
00:18:09He's taken up
00:18:09into the heavenly realms,
00:18:10to the throne of God,
00:18:12where he is given
00:18:13powerful, universal knowledge
00:18:15by angelic beings
00:18:17or extraterrestrial beings.
00:18:21As far as ancient
00:18:22astronaut theorists
00:18:23are concerned,
00:18:25the Book of Enoch
00:18:26is one of the most compelling texts
00:18:28ever written
00:18:29documenting extraterrestrial visitation.
00:18:32But it is far from unique.
00:18:36They say that similar encounters
00:18:38were documented
00:18:38by many other ancient cultures,
00:18:41lending support to the notion
00:18:42that Enoch's experiences
00:18:44were genuine.
00:18:46We can find ancient texts
00:18:49that speak of people
00:18:51ascending to heaven
00:18:52and then coming back down.
00:18:55For example,
00:18:55in ancient Greece,
00:18:56you have the story of Ganymede
00:18:58that was taken up
00:18:59by Zeus' eagle.
00:19:02Also in ancient China
00:19:03and in ancient Sumeria
00:19:06and also in ancient Egypt
00:19:10are there stories
00:19:11of people having been visited
00:19:13or having gone up to the sky
00:19:15to visit with the so-called gods.
00:19:19Lowercase g.
00:19:20While these other accounts
00:19:23tell a similar story,
00:19:25none contain the incredible detail
00:19:27found within the Book of Enoch.
00:19:29And some researchers believe
00:19:32that it was because of this
00:19:33controversial content
00:19:34that the text
00:19:35was omitted
00:19:36from most versions
00:19:37of the Bible.
00:19:38Not only do these texts
00:19:42infer quite strongly
00:19:44the possibility
00:19:45of extraterrestrial life,
00:19:48but they also show
00:19:49a very different side of God.
00:19:52This type of information,
00:19:54these type of texts,
00:19:56this cannot be put into the Bible.
00:19:58The sages of the time
00:20:00considered the teachings
00:20:01of the Book of Enoch,
00:20:03if you will,
00:20:03too hot to handle.
00:20:05And therefore,
00:20:06it fell along
00:20:08by the wayside,
00:20:09concealed and hidden.
00:20:11Is it possible
00:20:13the teachings of Enoch
00:20:14reveal that not all
00:20:16angelic encounters
00:20:17were of a divine nature?
00:20:20Is this the secret
00:20:21that has been kept alive
00:20:22in the Ethiopian version
00:20:24of the Bible?
00:20:26For ancient astronaut theorists,
00:20:28the Book of Enoch
00:20:29lies at the heart
00:20:30of an extraterrestrial agenda
00:20:32that has been shaping
00:20:34human history
00:20:34for thousands of years.
00:20:37And they suggest
00:20:38that nowhere is this
00:20:40more evident
00:20:40than in the book's descriptions
00:20:42of beings called
00:20:43the Watchers.
00:20:51London, England, 1604.
00:20:55To end a dispute
00:20:57in the Anglican Church,
00:20:59King James I
00:21:00orders the creation
00:21:01of a standardized
00:21:02English Bible.
00:21:04Today,
00:21:05more than four centuries
00:21:06after its creation,
00:21:08the King James Version
00:21:09remains the most famous
00:21:11Bible in history
00:21:12and one of the most
00:21:13published books
00:21:14of all time.
00:21:16Interestingly,
00:21:17while it contains
00:21:1966 books,
00:21:20the Catholic Bible
00:21:21has 73
00:21:23and the Ethiopian
00:21:24Orthodox version
00:21:25is comprised
00:21:26of 81.
00:21:28But why were
00:21:29so many texts,
00:21:31including the Book of Enoch,
00:21:33edited out?
00:21:33There has always been
00:21:37accepted literature,
00:21:40which becomes
00:21:41the foundation
00:21:41of orthodoxy.
00:21:43And then there's
00:21:44other literature
00:21:45that the accepted
00:21:47orthodoxy
00:21:48rejects.
00:21:50Books that don't
00:21:51make it in
00:21:52to the collection
00:21:53of the Bible,
00:21:54both the Hebrew Bible
00:21:55and the New Testament
00:21:56are the Apocrypha.
00:21:57The word
00:21:59apocrypha
00:22:00means hidden things
00:22:01and that's probably
00:22:01from the ancients
00:22:03hiding these texts
00:22:04away from the
00:22:05general public
00:22:06because they could
00:22:07be dangerous.
00:22:09Dangerous?
00:22:10Is it possible
00:22:11that the Book of Enoch
00:22:13was omitted
00:22:14because it exposed
00:22:15truths about
00:22:15human history
00:22:16that were considered
00:22:17too risky
00:22:18for the public
00:22:19to know?
00:22:21Ancient astronaut
00:22:22theorists suggest
00:22:23insight can be found
00:22:25by examining
00:22:26a passage
00:22:26in the Old Testament.
00:22:29We know from
00:22:30the Book of Daniel
00:22:31in Chapter 4
00:22:32that there is
00:22:32a group
00:22:33of angelic entities
00:22:35whose job,
00:22:36whose role it is
00:22:37is ordained by God
00:22:38to direct the affairs
00:22:40of humanity.
00:22:42These angelical forces
00:22:44look over
00:22:46our world
00:22:48and control
00:22:49the direction
00:22:50of civilization.
00:22:53While this passage
00:22:55is brief,
00:22:56these beings
00:22:57serve as the
00:22:57primary focus
00:22:58of the Book of Enoch
00:23:00where they are
00:23:01described as
00:23:02divine overseers
00:23:03known as
00:23:04the Watchers.
00:23:05Enoch calls them
00:23:07in the English version
00:23:07guardians of the sky
00:23:09or watchers of the sky.
00:23:11In the German version
00:23:12they are called
00:23:13angels.
00:23:15Now,
00:23:15it was simply
00:23:16an other time.
00:23:18Now we have
00:23:18a new time.
00:23:20Now we must
00:23:20translate it
00:23:21with new words.
00:23:23Change the word
00:23:24of angels
00:23:24trashed out
00:23:25and right
00:23:26extraterrestrial.
00:23:29These angels
00:23:31were not
00:23:32spiritual beings,
00:23:33they were physical beings.
00:23:35That is something
00:23:36very clear
00:23:37about the identity
00:23:38of biblical angels.
00:23:40They are not of this world
00:23:41and therefore
00:23:42they are not
00:23:43terrestrial
00:23:44and therefore
00:23:45they are
00:23:45extraterrestrial.
00:23:47According to
00:23:49the Book of Enoch,
00:23:51a total of
00:23:52200 Watchers
00:23:53descended to Earth.
00:23:55Enoch gives us
00:23:56some of the names
00:23:57but we know
00:23:57they were ruled
00:23:58by Semyaza
00:24:00and Azazel.
00:24:02Azazel was
00:24:03later known
00:24:04as Lucifer.
00:24:07The Watchers
00:24:08had a very bright
00:24:09appearance
00:24:10and one of their names
00:24:11was the Shining Ones
00:24:12and even Enoch
00:24:13when he wrote
00:24:14about them
00:24:14he even said
00:24:16he could barely
00:24:16look at them
00:24:17because they were
00:24:18so bright.
00:24:20As far as
00:24:21ancient astronaut
00:24:22theorists
00:24:23are concerned,
00:24:24the idea
00:24:25that the Watchers
00:24:26were alien visitors
00:24:27is most strongly
00:24:28corroborated
00:24:29by the stories
00:24:30of the prophet
00:24:30Elijah.
00:24:32Aside from
00:24:33Enoch,
00:24:34there is one other
00:24:35we know from the Bible
00:24:36who did ascend
00:24:37to heaven
00:24:38in chariots of fire
00:24:39whatever that is meaning
00:24:40and this of course
00:24:42is the famous prophet
00:24:43Elijah.
00:24:44Elijah
00:24:46was a powerful
00:24:48powerful prophet
00:24:49who had abilities
00:24:50apparently far beyond
00:24:51those of other prophets.
00:24:54Elijah possessed
00:24:55a power cloak
00:24:56or a garment
00:24:57that gave him
00:24:57the ability
00:24:58to heal the sick
00:24:59and even to raise
00:25:00the dead
00:25:01and then one day
00:25:02he used that
00:25:04power cloak
00:25:04or garment
00:25:05to ascend
00:25:06upon a fiery chariot
00:25:07a chariot
00:25:08of the gods
00:25:09and when Elijah
00:25:11ascended
00:25:11there were 50
00:25:12prophets
00:25:13that witnessed
00:25:14his ascension.
00:25:16The Bible
00:25:16calls a chariot
00:25:17of fire.
00:25:18But what is
00:25:18this chariot
00:25:19or was it
00:25:20some type
00:25:20of a technological
00:25:22transportation device
00:25:24which in ancient times
00:25:26would not have been
00:25:27understood
00:25:28as anything else
00:25:29but a chariot
00:25:30of fire.
00:25:32Curiously,
00:25:33while the idea
00:25:34of the soul
00:25:35ascending to heaven
00:25:36is a key component
00:25:37of Judeo-Christian
00:25:38traditions,
00:25:39there are a number
00:25:40of instances
00:25:41in the Bible
00:25:42where it is said
00:25:43that a person
00:25:43ascends bodily.
00:25:45In addition to
00:25:46Enoch and Elijah,
00:25:48this is also the case
00:25:49with both Jesus
00:25:50and his mother Mary.
00:25:52But why?
00:25:53If heaven
00:25:54is a spiritual realm,
00:25:56why is it written
00:25:56that certain individuals
00:25:58ascended bodily?
00:26:01Neither Enoch
00:26:02nor Elijah
00:26:03ever claimed
00:26:04that they were prophets.
00:26:05It was the biblical writers
00:26:07later who claimed
00:26:09that they're prophets.
00:26:10The reason why
00:26:12Enoch ended up
00:26:13being called
00:26:14a prophet
00:26:15is because
00:26:16of the experiences
00:26:18he had.
00:26:19He was taken up
00:26:20into space
00:26:21by extraterrestrials.
00:26:24And we have a similar
00:26:26story with Elijah.
00:26:28Enoch,
00:26:29Elijah,
00:26:31it's all part
00:26:32of the big concept
00:26:35of misunderstood technology.
00:26:37If the watchers
00:26:39were, in fact,
00:26:40extraterrestrials,
00:26:41as ancient astronaut
00:26:43theorists suggest,
00:26:44did they have an agenda
00:26:46for humankind?
00:26:48And if so,
00:26:49were certain individuals
00:26:50chosen to serve
00:26:51as their messengers?
00:26:54Perhaps further clues
00:26:55can be found
00:26:56in the divine guidance
00:26:58given to an ancient
00:26:59Babylonian leader.
00:27:05One of the oldest
00:27:06accounts of an
00:27:07otherworldly messenger
00:27:08is that of
00:27:10the Babylonian
00:27:11King Hammurabi.
00:27:12I mean,
00:27:12we're talking about
00:27:13a story that's
00:27:14over 3,700 years old.
00:27:17Right,
00:27:18and Hammurabi
00:27:19devised the world's
00:27:20very first legal system,
00:27:21which he claimed
00:27:22was dictated
00:27:23to him by a god.
00:27:24And then,
00:27:25in Egypt,
00:27:26the Pharaoh Akhenaten
00:27:27receives messages
00:27:28that leads to him
00:27:30dramatically altering
00:27:31Egyptian religion.
00:27:32Yeah,
00:27:33and in Akhenaten's case,
00:27:34that messenger
00:27:35is a god
00:27:36depicted as a disc
00:27:38in the sky.
00:27:42The Louvre,
00:27:43Paris, France.
00:27:45This historic museum
00:27:46houses perhaps
00:27:48the most significant
00:27:48legal text
00:27:49in the ancient world.
00:27:52This stela
00:27:53features the Babylonian
00:27:54god Chamash
00:27:55talking to King Hammurabi,
00:27:58and below them,
00:27:59carved in cuneiform text,
00:28:01are the laws
00:28:02they gave
00:28:02to their people.
00:28:04It is called
00:28:04the Code of Hammurabi.
00:28:12Hammurabi,
00:28:13without a doubt,
00:28:14is one of the great
00:28:15geniuses
00:28:16of the ancient world.
00:28:18And, of course,
00:28:18he's famous
00:28:19not just for being
00:28:21the ruler
00:28:22of ancient Babylonia,
00:28:23but for coming up
00:28:24with what is called
00:28:26the Code of Hammurabi,
00:28:27which was the first
00:28:28written legal record.
00:28:29It's a primitive document
00:28:33compared to what
00:28:33we have now,
00:28:34but he had a whole
00:28:35system of order
00:28:36and how taxes
00:28:36were collected
00:28:37and various civil
00:28:38principles,
00:28:39and the rather famous
00:28:41punishment,
00:28:42an eye for an eye,
00:28:43which has been modified
00:28:44over the years,
00:28:44but that he had a system.
00:28:46The Code of Hammurabi
00:28:49begins with a prologue
00:28:51in which the king
00:28:52boasts of his great
00:28:53deeds.
00:28:55But he also writes
00:28:57that the code itself
00:28:58was dictated to him
00:28:59by the Babylonian god
00:29:01Shamash.
00:29:02Hammurabi went into a trance
00:29:08and God began dictating
00:29:11this incredible document
00:29:13and channeling it
00:29:14through the great king
00:29:16Hammurabi,
00:29:16who is speaking it
00:29:18in a voice very
00:29:19unlike his own,
00:29:20language unlike his own.
00:29:21It's all coming from God.
00:29:23And then when Hammurabi
00:29:24wakes up from his trance,
00:29:26the scribes read it
00:29:27back to him,
00:29:28and he has no memory
00:29:29of dictating it.
00:29:30It all came from God.
00:29:31And it is brilliant.
00:29:35An important part is
00:29:36that Hammurabi
00:29:37did not claim authorship.
00:29:38He knew this was not
00:29:39of his making,
00:29:40of his intelligence.
00:29:42The system of law
00:29:44that comes through
00:29:45the Code of Hammurabi
00:29:46is so intrinsic
00:29:47to the basic moral
00:29:49understandings
00:29:49of how to run a society
00:29:51that much of it
00:29:52is still preserved
00:29:53in some form
00:29:54in our modern-day
00:29:55legal system.
00:29:56This suggests
00:29:57that the Code of Hammurabi
00:29:59comes from a very
00:30:00advanced point of origin.
00:30:01The story behind
00:30:05the Code of Hammurabi
00:30:06is not unique.
00:30:09In the ancient world,
00:30:11moments of genius,
00:30:12including basic
00:30:13religious beliefs
00:30:14and scientific principles,
00:30:16from Greece and Rome
00:30:17to India and China,
00:30:19were often said
00:30:20to have been inspired
00:30:21by divine voices.
00:30:22Think about it.
00:30:26Moses, Abraham,
00:30:28Noah,
00:30:29the prophets,
00:30:30Jesus,
00:30:31a lot of the laws,
00:30:32the rules,
00:30:33the customs,
00:30:34the traditions
00:30:34that we have
00:30:35are based upon
00:30:37individuals
00:30:37claiming to have been
00:30:39told something
00:30:40by a deity.
00:30:41And it's not just
00:30:42the Judeo-Christian tradition.
00:30:44I would argue
00:30:44that in every culture
00:30:45you've got a lot
00:30:46of laws
00:30:47that are essentially
00:30:48traced back
00:30:49to people claiming
00:30:50to have been told
00:30:51something
00:30:51by a being
00:30:53who's not of this world.
00:30:57Is it possible
00:30:58that the course
00:30:59of human civilization
00:31:00has been determined
00:31:02not by history's
00:31:03most profound thinkers,
00:31:05but by some external force
00:31:07that was guiding them?
00:31:09The ancients
00:31:10were convinced
00:31:10they knew the answer.
00:31:13In fact,
00:31:14the Latin word genius
00:31:15is where the term genie
00:31:17or supernatural creature
00:31:18comes from.
00:31:20In the ancient world,
00:31:21the idea of genius
00:31:22had much more autonomy
00:31:23than our modern view.
00:31:26The genie,
00:31:27which had a life
00:31:27of its own,
00:31:28a kind of spirit
00:31:29or daimon,
00:31:30entered you.
00:31:30You had a relationship
00:31:31with the genie
00:31:33and it was really
00:31:34the source
00:31:35of the brilliance.
00:31:35You were a channel,
00:31:38you were a host,
00:31:39you were involved,
00:31:40but it was not as personal
00:31:41and the ownership
00:31:42wasn't as great.
00:31:47The Greeks believed
00:31:48that they were inspired
00:31:49by the muses.
00:31:52So what caused
00:31:54a musician
00:31:55to come up
00:31:55with a new tune?
00:31:56What caused a writer
00:31:58to come up
00:31:58with a new story?
00:31:59It was the spirit
00:32:01of a muse
00:32:03that went inside
00:32:04the person
00:32:05and caused
00:32:06that person
00:32:07to become creative.
00:32:08And we see that
00:32:09in the word
00:32:10inspire,
00:32:11in spirit.
00:32:14When we are inspired,
00:32:16we are filled
00:32:16with spirit
00:32:17and we create
00:32:19those things.
00:32:19in Alexandria,
00:32:24Egyptians founded
00:32:25what would become
00:32:26the greatest library
00:32:27in the ancient world
00:32:28by erecting a temple
00:32:30to the muses
00:32:30and asking them
00:32:32to fill their library
00:32:33with wisdom.
00:32:34When we say
00:32:36that I'm looking
00:32:36for my muse,
00:32:39you are looking
00:32:39for the key
00:32:42with which
00:32:42to unlock
00:32:43this kingdom
00:32:45of creativity
00:32:46that resides
00:32:48within each
00:32:49and every
00:32:50living being.
00:32:52Is it possible
00:32:53by reaching
00:32:54this altered state
00:32:55of consciousness
00:32:56to come in contact
00:32:58with beings
00:33:00or with entities
00:33:01that are
00:33:02of those
00:33:03different realms?
00:33:04I think
00:33:06that this
00:33:07is possible.
00:33:10Could it be
00:33:11that the forces
00:33:12of inspiration
00:33:13that the ancients
00:33:14attributed to the gods
00:33:16really did emanate
00:33:18from an otherworldly source
00:33:19as ancient astronaut
00:33:21theorists suggest?
00:33:23In the ancient world
00:33:25it was really believed
00:33:26that people
00:33:28were influenced
00:33:29from outside
00:33:30to have special thoughts,
00:33:33to have special inspiration
00:33:36and genius
00:33:38type ideas
00:33:39and it was coming
00:33:41from outside of you
00:33:42so you have to wonder
00:33:44if these ideas
00:33:46aren't possibly
00:33:48some kind
00:33:49of thoughts
00:33:51that are being
00:33:52projected
00:33:52into your mind
00:33:54possibly by extraterrestrials.
00:33:57Perhaps
00:33:57behind all of this
00:33:59is a belief
00:34:00that people
00:34:01were directly influenced
00:34:02by extraterrestrial beings
00:34:04who gave them
00:34:05immense inspiration
00:34:06or profound knowledge
00:34:08that then they were able
00:34:09to share
00:34:10with others.
00:34:11Could it be
00:34:13that mankind
00:34:14has received
00:34:15ongoing inspiration
00:34:17from otherworldly forces
00:34:19and if so
00:34:20were these messages
00:34:21intended
00:34:22to covertly shape
00:34:24our world?
00:34:26Perhaps
00:34:26further evidence
00:34:27can be found
00:34:28by examining
00:34:29the curious connection
00:34:30between
00:34:31a heretic pharaoh
00:34:33and a mysterious
00:34:34disk
00:34:35in the sky.
00:34:44Luxor, Egypt
00:34:45along the east
00:34:47bank of the Nile
00:34:48river
00:34:49lie the ruins
00:34:50of the Karnak
00:34:51temple complex
00:34:52dating
00:34:53to the 32nd
00:34:54century BC.
00:34:58Here
00:34:59in ancient
00:35:00Egyptian society
00:35:01the pharaohs
00:35:02were considered
00:35:03perfect humans
00:35:04to be worshipped
00:35:05above all others
00:35:06as supreme
00:35:07living gods.
00:35:11This religious hierarchy
00:35:13was in place
00:35:14for over
00:35:15a thousand years
00:35:16until one pharaoh
00:35:18came into power
00:35:19and changed
00:35:20everything.
00:35:23His name
00:35:24was Akhenaten.
00:35:28According to legend
00:35:29Akhenaten
00:35:31descended from
00:35:32the stars
00:35:32and when he came
00:35:34to power
00:35:34the worship
00:35:35of multiple gods
00:35:36ended.
00:35:38The pharaoh
00:35:39replaced the old
00:35:40deities
00:35:41with a single
00:35:42sun god
00:35:42that some believe
00:35:44had interacted
00:35:45with and gave
00:35:45birth to Akhenaten.
00:35:47This god
00:35:48was called
00:35:49Aten.
00:35:53What we have
00:35:54with Akhenaten
00:35:55is a very brief
00:35:55period of time
00:35:56when Egypt
00:35:57radically departs
00:35:58from its standard
00:35:59behavior.
00:36:01We see Akhenaten
00:36:03is becoming
00:36:04obsessed
00:36:04saying that
00:36:06he can contact
00:36:06the gods.
00:36:08Also
00:36:08he is
00:36:09remodeling
00:36:10the way
00:36:10he looks
00:36:11not physically
00:36:12but on
00:36:13his monuments.
00:36:16Akhenaten
00:36:16looked very
00:36:17odd
00:36:18and the
00:36:19other statues
00:36:20that were
00:36:20created during
00:36:21that time
00:36:21all featured
00:36:22elongated heads
00:36:23bizarre bodies
00:36:25and chicken
00:36:25legs.
00:36:27The whole
00:36:27reign of
00:36:28Akhenaten
00:36:29leads us
00:36:30to think
00:36:31that he
00:36:32had contact
00:36:33with
00:36:34extraterrestrials.
00:36:38Akhenaten's
00:36:39wife
00:36:40Queen
00:36:40Nefertiti
00:36:41and their
00:36:42children
00:36:42were also
00:36:43depicted
00:36:43with similar
00:36:44elongated heads.
00:36:45but might
00:36:49there be
00:36:49a specific
00:36:49reason
00:36:50why the
00:36:51pharaoh
00:36:51and his
00:36:52descendants
00:36:52were
00:36:53illustrated
00:36:54in this
00:36:54way?
00:36:56Clearly
00:36:56Akhenaten
00:36:57and various
00:36:58other people
00:36:58were confronted
00:36:59with deities
00:37:00who had
00:37:01these
00:37:01elongated
00:37:02skulls
00:37:02and so
00:37:04they reshaped
00:37:05their heads
00:37:05because this
00:37:06somehow would
00:37:07bring them
00:37:07closer to
00:37:08the gods
00:37:08and maybe
00:37:09even
00:37:09in contacting
00:37:10or being
00:37:11amongst
00:37:11the gods.
00:37:13Could the
00:37:14sun god
00:37:15Aten
00:37:15have been
00:37:16an alien
00:37:16being
00:37:17that visited
00:37:17earth
00:37:18as some
00:37:19ancient
00:37:19astronaut
00:37:20theorists
00:37:20contend?
00:37:22Or is it
00:37:23possible
00:37:23that Akhenaten
00:37:24himself
00:37:25had an
00:37:26extraterrestrial
00:37:27origin?
00:37:30Might Akhenaten
00:37:31have received
00:37:32messages
00:37:32from Aten?
00:37:34Messages
00:37:35that would
00:37:36have had
00:37:36a profound
00:37:37effect
00:37:37on Egyptian
00:37:38society
00:37:39during
00:37:39the pharaoh's
00:37:40reign?
00:37:42They visited
00:37:43him.
00:37:43He had
00:37:43actual
00:37:44physical
00:37:45contact
00:37:45with them
00:37:46and so
00:37:47that was
00:37:48the reason
00:37:49why
00:37:50he
00:37:50instituted
00:37:51this
00:37:52one
00:37:53god
00:37:53rule
00:37:54and
00:37:55another
00:37:55theory
00:37:55is also
00:37:56that
00:37:57Akhenaten
00:37:57himself
00:37:58was in
00:37:59fact
00:38:00half human
00:38:01half
00:38:01extraterrestrial.
00:38:02Akhenaten
00:38:09ruled for
00:38:10seventeen
00:38:10years
00:38:11but upon
00:38:12his death
00:38:13the magnificent
00:38:14city he built
00:38:15to the sun
00:38:15god
00:38:15was partially
00:38:17destroyed
00:38:17and his
00:38:19mysterious
00:38:20depictions
00:38:21were defaced
00:38:22or obliterated.
00:38:24Aten
00:38:24the god
00:38:25who some
00:38:25believe
00:38:26may have
00:38:27delivered
00:38:27messages
00:38:28to the
00:38:28pharaoh
00:38:28was also
00:38:30virtually erased
00:38:31from the
00:38:31records.
00:38:33Is it
00:38:33possible
00:38:33as ancient
00:38:34astronaut
00:38:35theorists
00:38:35contend
00:38:36that the
00:38:37pharaoh's
00:38:38relationship
00:38:38with
00:38:39extraterrestrial
00:38:40beings
00:38:40was covered
00:38:41up for
00:38:42nearly
00:38:42one thousand
00:38:43years?
00:38:45All the
00:38:46other pharaohs
00:38:47left wall
00:38:48descriptions
00:38:48and describing
00:38:50their glory
00:38:50and brilliance
00:38:51but for some
00:38:52reason
00:38:52around Akhenaten
00:38:54it was all
00:38:55scribbled out
00:38:55as if to
00:38:56hide them
00:38:57like an
00:38:57ancient
00:38:58cover-up.
00:39:00Might the
00:39:01defacement
00:39:01of Akhenaten's
00:39:02legacy
00:39:03have been an
00:39:04attempt
00:39:04to conceal
00:39:05his contact
00:39:06with an
00:39:07extraterrestrial
00:39:08presence?
00:39:09Or could it
00:39:10be that his
00:39:11erasure was
00:39:12orchestrated
00:39:13by the
00:39:13priesthood
00:39:14acting on
00:39:15the will
00:39:15of Egypt's
00:39:16ancient gods
00:39:17seeking to
00:39:18reclaim
00:39:18their authority?
00:39:20Perhaps
00:39:21further evidence
00:39:22of this
00:39:22unseen influence
00:39:23can be
00:39:24uncovered
00:39:25by examining
00:39:26a profound
00:39:27religious
00:39:27revelation
00:39:28that altered
00:39:29the course
00:39:30of history.
00:39:36You know
00:39:37we've been
00:39:37talking about
00:39:38ancient stories
00:39:39from well
00:39:39over 2,000
00:39:40years ago
00:39:41but there
00:39:42are more
00:39:42recent accounts
00:39:43of other
00:39:44worldly
00:39:44messengers.
00:39:45Yeah
00:39:45some of
00:39:45these were
00:39:46major
00:39:46world-changing
00:39:47events
00:39:48like the
00:39:48account of
00:39:49the Roman
00:39:49emperor
00:39:50Constantine
00:39:51he sees
00:39:51what he
00:39:51interprets
00:39:52as a
00:39:52sign from
00:39:53the heavens
00:39:54and as
00:39:54a result
00:39:54he converts
00:39:55the Roman
00:39:56empire
00:39:56to
00:39:56Christianity.
00:39:57Right
00:39:58and we
00:39:58have
00:39:58stories
00:39:59like
00:39:59that
00:39:59also
00:39:59here
00:40:00in the
00:40:00United
00:40:00States.
00:40:01The
00:40:01Mormon
00:40:02church
00:40:02was
00:40:02founded
00:40:03after a
00:40:04visit
00:40:05by a
00:40:06so-called
00:40:06otherworldly
00:40:07messenger.
00:40:08We talked
00:40:09a lot
00:40:09about these
00:40:10modern
00:40:10encounters
00:40:11in an
00:40:11episode
00:40:11called
00:40:12Alien
00:40:13Encounters.
00:40:14Rome
00:40:18Rome
00:40:18October 27th
00:40:21312
00:40:21AD
00:40:22Just
00:40:24north of
00:40:25the city
00:40:25the emperor
00:40:26Constantine
00:40:27leads his
00:40:28troops
00:40:29toward the
00:40:29Milvian
00:40:30Bridge
00:40:30and a
00:40:31decisive
00:40:31battle
00:40:32with
00:40:32Maxentius
00:40:33to reclaim
00:40:34his throne.
00:40:36At stake
00:40:37is control
00:40:37over the
00:40:38western part
00:40:39of the
00:40:39vast
00:40:39Roman
00:40:40Empire.
00:40:40According
00:40:44to an
00:40:44account
00:40:45from the
00:40:45historian
00:40:46Eusebius
00:40:46on the
00:40:47eve of
00:40:47the battle
00:40:48Constantine
00:40:49looks up
00:40:50into the
00:40:50sky
00:40:51and sees
00:40:52what he
00:40:53believes
00:40:53is a
00:40:54divine
00:40:54vision.
00:40:57Constantine
00:40:57and his
00:40:59followers
00:40:59saw in
00:41:00the sky
00:41:01what
00:41:02their
00:41:02chroniclers
00:41:03say
00:41:03was a
00:41:04huge
00:41:05white
00:41:06fiery
00:41:08cross.
00:41:10Now
00:41:12his
00:41:12followers
00:41:13didn't
00:41:13know
00:41:13what
00:41:14to
00:41:14make
00:41:14of
00:41:14this
00:41:15but
00:41:15Constantine
00:41:16decided
00:41:17that
00:41:17this
00:41:17was
00:41:17the
00:41:18Christian
00:41:18cross.
00:41:20Constantine
00:41:21feels
00:41:21after viewing
00:41:22this
00:41:22extraordinary
00:41:23sign
00:41:24from the
00:41:24heavens
00:41:24this
00:41:25lighted
00:41:25cross
00:41:26in
00:41:26the
00:41:26sky
00:41:27that
00:41:27he
00:41:27will
00:41:27go
00:41:28forth
00:41:28the
00:41:28next
00:41:29day
00:41:29and
00:41:29he
00:41:30will
00:41:30conquer
00:41:31the
00:41:31Roman
00:41:31Empire
00:41:32and
00:41:32this
00:41:32is
00:41:32exactly
00:41:33what
00:41:33he
00:41:33does.
00:41:34this
00:41:40vision
00:41:41becomes
00:41:41one
00:41:42of
00:41:42the
00:41:42crucial
00:41:42turning
00:41:43points
00:41:43in
00:41:44human
00:41:44history.
00:41:50After
00:41:51winning
00:41:51the
00:41:52brutal
00:41:52battle
00:41:52of
00:41:52Milvian
00:41:53Bridge
00:41:53Constantine
00:41:55consolidates
00:41:55his
00:41:56power
00:41:56and
00:41:57begins
00:41:57a
00:41:57campaign
00:41:58of
00:41:58religious
00:41:58tolerance
00:41:59across
00:41:59the
00:41:59Empire
00:42:00and
00:42:01he
00:42:01himself
00:42:01converts
00:42:02to
00:42:02Christianity.
00:42:04But
00:42:09what
00:42:09exactly
00:42:10did
00:42:10Constantine
00:42:11see
00:42:11in
00:42:11the
00:42:11sky
00:42:12that
00:42:12ended
00:42:13up
00:42:13changing
00:42:13the
00:42:13course
00:42:14of
00:42:14Western
00:42:15civilization?
00:42:16Was
00:42:17it
00:42:17a
00:42:17divine
00:42:17vision
00:42:18or
00:42:19something
00:42:19else?
00:42:20Don't
00:42:21we
00:42:21all
00:42:21see
00:42:21crosses
00:42:22up
00:42:22in
00:42:22the
00:42:22sky
00:42:23when
00:42:24we
00:42:24look
00:42:24at
00:42:25planes?
00:42:26Because
00:42:27you
00:42:27have
00:42:27lights
00:42:27on
00:42:27the
00:42:28sides

00:42:28at
00:42:28the
00:42:28front
00:42:29and
00:42:29if
00:42:29you
00:42:29have
00:42:30a
00:42:30little
00:42:30bit
00:42:30of
00:42:30light
00:42:30shining
00:42:31on
00:42:31it
00:42:31sometimes
00:42:32they
00:42:32look
00:42:33like
00:42:33crosses

00:50:07the texts

00:50:12seven years
00:50:16later
00:50:17smith publishes
00:50:18these texts
00:50:19as part
00:50:20of the book
00:50:20of mormon
00:50:21establishing

00:50:23of latter-day
00:50:24saints
00:50:25a denomination
00:50:27with more
00:50:27than 15
00:50:28million followers
00:50:29today
00:50:29many religions
00:50:33worldwide
00:50:34have been
00:50:35founded
00:50:35with the
00:50:36help of
00:50:36angels
00:50:36whether they're
00:50:38representatives
00:50:39of christian
00:50:40muslim
00:50:40or buddhist
00:50:41gods
00:50:42these apparitions
00:50:44are thought
00:50:45to be a way
00:50:45that gods
00:50:46intervene on
00:50:47earth
00:50:47with humans
00:50:48angels
00:50:49angels
00:50:49when they
00:50:50appear in
00:50:51religious
00:50:51legends
00:50:52and in
00:50:52myths
00:50:53generally
00:50:53are messengers
00:50:54between the
00:50:55heavenly realm
00:50:55and the
00:50:56human realm
00:50:57throughout the
00:50:58bible
00:50:59we have
00:50:59stories of
00:51:00angels
00:51:01and demons
00:51:02appearing to
00:51:03mankind
00:51:04in fact
00:51:06paul says
00:51:07that you
00:51:08be careful
00:51:09how you
00:51:10entertain
00:51:10strangers
00:51:11because some
00:51:12of you
00:51:12entertain angels
00:51:14unaware
00:51:14the bible
00:51:16is very
00:51:16clear
00:51:17that angels
00:51:18can take
00:51:18on human
00:51:19form
00:51:19and appear
00:51:21in the
00:51:21likeness
00:51:22of man
00:51:22but ancient
00:51:27astronaut
00:51:27theorists
00:51:28suggest
00:51:28that sometimes
00:51:29these heavenly
00:51:30visions
00:51:31and apparitions
00:51:32may not
00:51:32actually be
00:51:33angels
00:51:33sent by
00:51:34an omniscient
00:51:35god
00:51:35and curiously
00:51:38the so-called
00:51:39angel that led
00:51:40joseph smith
00:51:40to the sacred
00:51:41texts
00:51:42that would
00:51:42become the
00:51:43book of
00:51:43mormon
00:51:43did not
00:51:44profess to
00:51:45have heavenly
00:51:46origins
00:51:46but claimed
00:51:48to be from
00:51:48another part
00:51:49of the
00:51:49universe
00:51:50now moroni
00:51:52did not
00:51:53say that
00:51:54he was an
00:51:55angel
00:51:55he said
00:51:56that at
00:51:56one time
00:51:57he had
00:51:57lived on
00:51:58earth
00:51:59but that
00:52:00now he
00:52:01came from
00:52:01the pleiades
00:52:02star cluster
00:52:03and he said
00:52:04there were
00:52:04many others
00:52:05like him
00:52:06when we
00:52:08look at the
00:52:09background of
00:52:09the book of
00:52:10mormon
00:52:10we see some
00:52:11very interesting
00:52:12parallels to
00:52:12what could be
00:52:13an extraterrestrial
00:52:14tale
00:52:15this angel
00:52:16moroni that
00:52:17appears to
00:52:17joseph smith
00:52:18seems to be
00:52:21more than just
00:52:21chance
00:52:22it's very
00:52:24possible that
00:52:25joseph smith was
00:52:25interacting with
00:52:27the type of
00:52:27extraterrestrial
00:52:28these extraterrestrials
00:52:33may be giving
00:52:34these messages
00:52:35to world leaders
00:52:36and to prophets
00:52:36and seers
00:52:37and mystics
00:52:38to let us
00:52:39know
00:52:40that we
00:52:41are the
00:52:42product of an
00:52:43extraterrestrial
00:52:44interbreeding
00:52:44and an ongoing
00:52:46contact
00:52:47with these
00:52:48other people
00:52:49who were not
00:52:50born on earth
00:52:50and we
00:52:52have lost
00:52:53touch with
00:52:54that history
00:52:55only because
00:52:56we refuse
00:52:57to believe
00:52:58the truth
00:52:59that is
00:52:59reported in
00:53:00our historical
00:53:00books
00:53:01and see
00:53:02what's right
00:53:02in front of
00:53:03our faces
00:53:03even now
00:53:04with the
00:53:05encounters
00:53:05that are
00:53:06happening
00:53:07in the
00:53:07modern world
00:53:08but if an
00:53:12extraterrestrial
00:53:13being
00:53:14really did
00:53:15inspire
00:53:15joseph smith
00:53:16to found
00:53:17the mormon
00:53:17church
00:53:18why
00:53:19joseph smith's
00:53:21encounter
00:53:21ultimately led
00:53:22the mormons
00:53:23to migrate
00:53:24west
00:53:24to establish
00:53:25a new
00:53:25holy land
00:53:26in utah
00:53:27which has led
00:53:28some to speculate
00:53:29that aliens
00:53:30once again
00:53:31were guiding
00:53:32the course
00:53:33of humanity
00:53:34moroni
00:53:35let joseph smith
00:53:36know
00:53:36that he would
00:53:37be the
00:53:37prophet
00:53:38and he would
00:53:39lead his
00:53:39people to
00:53:40the new
00:53:41jerusalem
00:53:41mormonism
00:53:42is another
00:53:43example
00:53:44potentially
00:53:44of an
00:53:46extraterrestrial
00:53:46influence
00:53:47steering the
00:53:48course of
00:53:49our humanity
00:53:49and helping
00:53:50steer the
00:53:51outcome
00:53:51of historical
00:53:52events
00:53:53here on
00:53:53earth
00:53:53is it
00:53:58possible
00:53:58that joseph
00:53:59smith
00:53:59the founder
00:54:00of the
00:54:01mormon
00:54:01religion
00:54:01was guided
00:54:03by an
00:54:03extraterrestrial
00:54:04being
00:54:05and if so
00:54:07was this
00:54:08alien
00:54:08encounter
00:54:09another
00:54:09attempt
00:54:10to guide
00:54:11us
00:54:11into a
00:54:11more
00:54:11enlightened
00:54:12age
00:54:13ancient
00:54:15astronaut
00:54:15theorists
00:54:16say yes
00:54:16but also
00:54:18suggest
00:54:18that humanity
00:54:19may be caught
00:54:20in the middle
00:54:21of conflicting
00:54:22alien
00:54:23agendas
00:54:23most of the
00:54:29stories of
00:54:30otherworldly
00:54:31messengers
00:54:31speak of
00:54:32beings that
00:54:32are here
00:54:32to deliver
00:54:33knowledge
00:54:33to help
00:54:34humanity
00:54:34but then
00:54:35you also
00:54:35have the
00:54:36stories of
00:54:36the less
00:54:37benevolent
00:54:37beings
00:54:38that are
00:54:38often
00:54:38referred to
00:54:38as the
00:54:39trickster
00:54:39gods
00:54:40yeah
00:54:40right
00:54:41like the
00:54:41muslim
00:54:41stories
00:54:42of the
00:54:42jinn
00:54:43they are
00:54:43these
00:54:44strange
00:54:44shape-shifting
00:54:45beings
00:54:45that whisper
00:54:46instructions
00:54:47to people
00:54:47often with
00:54:49a negative
00:54:49outcome
00:54:49right
00:54:50and what's
00:54:51fascinating
00:54:51there is
00:54:52that the
00:54:52ancient
00:54:53texts
00:54:53say
00:54:54that these
00:54:55jinn
00:54:55were neither
00:54:56of the
00:54:57earthly realm
00:54:58nor the
00:54:59heavenly realm
00:55:00so according
00:55:01to the
00:55:01ancient
00:55:01astronaut
00:55:02theory
00:55:02that means
00:55:03they were
00:55:04of the
00:55:05extraterrestrial
00:55:06realm
00:55:07muscat

00:58:12recent
00:58:12accounts
00:58:12of
00:58:13alien
00:58:13abductions
00:58:45back on a moment later a beam of red light shoots through the window
00:58:51we saw a flashing reddish orange light coming through the pantry window five
00:58:57beings entered my homes right through the wooden door they had large black
00:59:05eyes tiny nose thin slit mouth tiny holes for ears a large bulbous head and I
00:59:15was quite shocked wondering who what is this you know at that point I was taking
00:59:22up into the craft
00:59:27Betty ends up going with them to some place that she thinks is their world and
00:59:35she said it was more vivid than life itself Betty Andreassen's reports are
00:59:42very detailed and thorough there's lots and lots of specific drawings that she
00:59:48makes of technology on these ships this is before the era that anybody was talking
00:59:55about this stuff so it was a totally unique experience for her a devout
01:00:02Christian Andreassen describes her abduction as a religious experience the
01:00:09only thing I could think of that they must be angels for them to be able to
01:00:13pass through the door like that and to take me through that door the same way
01:00:19but for ancient astronaut theorists this encounter is most significant because of
01:00:25how these strange beings identified themselves they said that they were the
01:00:31watchers June 1st 1990 UFO investigator Raymond Fowler publishes the watchers an unprecedented
01:00:44inside look at the Betty Andreassen case after years of hypnosis psych exams and interviews Fowler
01:00:53concludes that the strange beings Andreassen encountered that called themselves the watchers
01:00:59were the same entities that are commonly identified today as gray aliens
01:01:05it's very interesting this word watchers because when you talk with so many people you begin to hear
01:01:14patterns and even if you're not sitting across from a man or a woman or a child who says I was taken by a
01:01:22watcher what you hear is the abductees knew that they were dealing with
01:01:28something that knew everything about them again the watcher idea whether you use
01:01:35that name or not according to Betty's account the extraterrestrials who took her
01:01:43aboard their craft subjected her to medical examination and I was floated to a table and as he was examining me he he said they were
01:01:56going to have to measure me physically and at that point they started to take this needle like thing and thrust it into my navel and I could feel it going round and round and
01:02:10inside me as incredible as Betty Andreassen's abduction story sounds it is not unique many alleged alien abductees give very similar accounts
01:02:25in 1961 Betty and Barney Hill of Lancaster New Hampshire made one of the earliest alien
01:02:37abduction reports when they claim that they've been taken aboard a ship
01:02:44place naked on examination tables and probed by what they described as gray aliens
01:02:53Linda Porter of Covina California reported that in 1963 she too was taken aboard a ship
01:03:02where she witnessed strange-looking creatures examining humans held in states of suspended animation
01:03:09but if these accounts are true what is it that's being done to these abductees
01:03:19watchers have two key areas of interest as concerns humanity one is genetics and the other is technology and both are found in the phenomena of alien abduction
01:03:29so one idea would be that the purpose of the abductions is to continue to tweak the human body to assist humanity in climbing the evolutionary ladder so to speak
01:03:44is it possible that the watchers that were described in the Bible and the book of Enoch really are responsible for the modern alien abduction phenomenon
01:03:56some ancient astronaut theorists suggest it is possible that modern alien abductions are not the work of those same watchers that survived the Great Flood
01:04:07but that instead they are carried out by another group of extraterrestrials
01:04:13all of the people that I've interviewed they would tell you the same thing these watchers they're not all of the same mind
01:04:23there seems to be conflict about what the future of humanity on this planet will be
01:04:30legends teach us that watchers fight amongst themselves and that they will each manipulate segments of humanity so as to express their own agendas and therefore it is they who influence nations
01:04:50to go to war and to fight for their purposes and not necessarily for our betterment
01:04:57and you have to wonder if many of the modern day abductions such as Betty Andreassen are really extraterrestrials who are the watchers
01:05:15the watchers
01:05:18Betty Andreassen came to believe that she had been chosen to deliver a message to the world
01:05:25revealing that beings called the watchers have been observing and guiding humankind since our very beginnings
01:05:34if Andreassen was selected to carry such a message could there be others
01:05:39perhaps further clues can be found by examining the accounts and revelations of another extraterrestrial contactee
01:05:54a basic premise of the ancient astronaut theory is that extraterrestrials had a hand in the development of humans thousands of years ago
01:06:02but I think it's also possible that they monitored our progress all this time and maybe every once in a while they would you know not just in the right direction
01:06:15right and we have thousands of modern day reports of what are thought to be encounters with alien beings and very often people report that these beings have messages that they want to relay to humanity
01:06:28right
01:06:29right and some people say that the extraterrestrials are trying to warn us about atomic weapons or to take better care of the earth
01:06:35we talked about this in a 2023 episode called close encounters of a fifth kind
01:06:41desert center California
01:06:46November 20th 1952
01:06:53photographer and amateur astronomer George Adamski is hiking with friends along the rocky sands of the Colorado desert
01:07:01when he sees a large saucer shaped craft in the sky
01:07:06according to Adamski a voice from the spaceship speaks to him
01:07:10telling him to walk off the main road
01:07:14allegedly the four of them saw a craft
01:07:18land
01:07:19farther out in the desert
01:07:21George Adamski by himself
01:07:23then walked over this hill
01:07:25and to the craft
01:07:26where he claimed he met
01:07:28with an extraterrestrial
01:07:30that extraterrestrial invited
01:07:32Adamski ultimately
01:07:34to go on one of the craft
01:07:36at some point
01:07:38he claimed
01:07:39they took him in a spaceship
01:07:41out into space
01:07:42and toward other planets
01:07:44and along the way
01:07:45he is educated
01:07:46or schooled
01:07:47by a thousand year old being
01:07:49he refers to as
01:07:50the master
01:07:51he believed that
01:07:53they were enlightened
01:07:55advanced beings
01:07:57who were
01:07:59keeping an eye
01:08:00on our development
01:08:02and were concerned
01:08:04about some of the turns
01:08:06that the human journey had taken
01:08:08pollution of the environment
01:08:10development of nuclear weapons
01:08:12and so
01:08:14Adamski
01:08:15then went on
01:08:16to spread his message
01:08:18around the world
01:08:19because he felt that
01:08:20this was a mission
01:08:21for him
01:08:22Adamski wrote a number of books
01:08:25about this
01:08:27and his photos
01:08:29are still famous photos
01:08:31that he took
01:08:32of cylindrical
01:08:33cigar-shaped ships
01:08:34and of flying saucers
01:08:36he actually traveled
01:08:38around the world
01:08:39as a special ambassador
01:08:41he even met
01:08:43with the Queen of Holland
01:08:45and other world leaders
01:08:47he was greeted often
01:08:49as some kind of ambassador
01:08:52from the extraterrestrials
01:08:54most of these contactees
01:08:56will say
01:08:57they're lectured to
01:08:59in some fashion
01:09:00about
01:09:01technology
01:09:02and their place
01:09:03in the universe
01:09:04it's a message
01:09:05that
01:09:06they're given
01:09:07to take to other people
01:09:09do extraterrestrials
01:09:11select certain people
01:09:13to deliver information
01:09:14to humanity
01:09:15ancient astronaut theorists
01:09:18say yes
01:09:19and suggest
01:09:20there may even be
01:09:21physical evidence
01:09:22to prove it
01:09:23Ulster County New York
01:09:30December 26th 1985
01:09:36best-selling author
01:09:37Whitley Strieber
01:09:38is celebrating Christmas
01:09:40with his wife
01:09:41and young son
01:09:42at their cabin
01:09:43in the middle of the night
01:09:44he is awoken
01:09:45by a disturbing feeling
01:09:47I felt
01:09:50that there was something
01:09:51around me
01:09:52in other words
01:09:53there was movement
01:09:54that shouldn't have been there
01:09:55and I opened my eyes
01:09:57and I saw
01:09:58these big black eyes
01:10:00staring at me
01:10:01and I had no idea
01:10:05where I was
01:10:07it was a little round room
01:10:09and I began to scream
01:10:11this automatic voice turned on saying
01:10:16what can we do to help you stop screaming
01:10:18there were these other figures
01:10:20dark blue little figures darting around
01:10:23when they assaulted me basically
01:10:26it was not easy
01:10:27it was a very terrifying experience
01:10:30to process the traumatic event
01:10:33Whitley wrote about his close encounter
01:10:36which became the basis
01:10:37of his best-selling memoir
01:10:39Communion
01:10:40he hoped the experience was behind him
01:10:42but in May of 1989
01:10:46Whitley had another strange
01:10:48nocturnal encounter
01:10:50I'm on my side
01:10:53on my right side
01:10:54and there's a hand pressing down
01:10:57on my left temple
01:10:59pressing it into the pillow
01:11:00in like waves like this
01:11:02and I can't struggle
01:11:05I can't move a muscle
01:11:06I can't see anything
01:11:07I am completely immobilized
01:11:10after a few seconds that ends
01:11:14and I think
01:11:15was it the dream?
01:11:17then
01:11:19the next day
01:11:20or the day after
01:11:21my ears started hurting
01:11:22I reach up
01:11:23and I feel this bump here
01:11:25on my ear
01:11:26and I thought
01:11:27oh my god
01:11:28it's an implant
01:11:30there was an attempt to remove it
01:11:35and I don't see it
01:11:38yeah
01:11:39it failed
01:11:40because the implant
01:11:41went from here
01:11:42right down into here
01:11:44on its own
01:11:45that's it
01:11:46it's not going to do it anymore
01:11:47and the doctor pulled out
01:11:49two days later
01:11:50it went from my earlobe
01:11:52back up to where it is to this day
01:11:54could extraterrestrials
01:11:56have really implanted
01:11:58some kind of device
01:11:59inside Whitley Striever's ear?
01:12:01and if so
01:12:03why?
01:12:05according to Whitley
01:12:07whatever the implant is
01:12:09it has had a profound effect on him
01:12:11in 2015
01:12:13I noticed a slit opened up in my right eye
01:12:17and you could see words racing through it
01:12:20but they were like someone was typing very quickly and racing
01:12:23and it had something to do with my writing
01:12:27because at the same time
01:12:29my ability to do research changed dramatically and weirdly
01:12:35I found that if I just thought about something I needed
01:12:39no matter how obscure
01:12:41one way or another would have come to me
01:12:43since receiving the alleged implant
01:12:46Striever claims to have had regular interaction with other worldly beings
01:12:51the visitors are a part of my life now
01:12:53very much so
01:12:55I don't think I would be comfortable working
01:12:59without knowing that there was using the implant
01:13:03that there was a connection
01:13:05now what do they want from us?
01:13:09that is a very big unanswered question
01:13:13humans have been interacting with these beings
01:13:17wherever they're from
01:13:19for eons throughout human history
01:13:21I think that this intelligence
01:13:23instead of revealing itself on a global scale
01:13:27they've been engaging with people one-on-one
01:13:29maybe they put us on the path where we are now
01:13:32don't know
01:13:33they seem to have an ongoing interest in us
01:13:35they take direct involvement with certain bloodlines and certain people
01:13:39and the dramatic transformations that have taken place
01:13:44after people have had these claimed contacts
01:13:47is very real
01:13:49could modern day extraterrestrial contact cases
01:13:53like those of George Adamski and Whitley Striever
01:13:56be linked to the same strange phenomena
01:13:59reported by ancient biblical prophets and leaders
01:14:03or modern contactees
01:14:05the latest in a long line
01:14:07of chosen messengers
01:14:10perhaps further clues can be found
01:14:12by examining the Vatican's growing interest in UFOs
01:14:21when we talk about messages from alien visitors
01:14:24a lot of people believe that this information
01:14:26is actually being hidden by the Vatican
01:14:28oh absolutely
01:14:29in fact we know that the Vatican contains a secret archive
01:14:34in which they store ancient texts that are millennia old
01:14:39yeah and recently the Vatican has totally embraced the possibility of intelligent life in the universe
01:14:45so maybe the Vatican knows a lot more about what messages were conveyed to our ancestors than we do
01:14:52the Vatican
01:14:55the Vatican
01:14:57Vatican City, Italy
01:15:01in the 17th century
01:15:04Pope Paul V
01:15:07ordered select documents of the Catholic Church
01:15:09moved from the Vatican Library
01:15:11and closed to outsiders until 1881
01:15:14today
01:15:17the Vatican secret archives are closely guarded
01:15:21and some researchers believe
01:15:23they contain revelations so explosive
01:15:26that they threaten the doctrine of the Catholic Church
01:15:29you have to wonder
01:15:32if the secret library
01:15:34at the Vatican
01:15:35which they acknowledge exists
01:15:36doesn't have
01:15:38records or chronicles
01:15:40about extraterrestrial context
01:15:42that the Catholic Church has recorded
01:15:44and knows happened
01:15:46but is keeping a secret
01:15:51according to researchers
01:15:52the Vatican secret archives
01:15:54holds hidden evidence
01:15:56connected to the miracle of Fatima
01:16:03it was here in 1917
01:16:07that three children claimed to have received messages
01:16:10from what some Catholic theologians believe
01:16:13was the Virgin Mary
01:16:15in Fatima
01:16:16children saw an apparition
01:16:18they said was the Virgin Mary
01:16:20and 70,000 people came to the same sheep pasture
01:16:29and people said that they saw a spinning silver disc
01:16:32the Catholic Church
01:16:35for a very long time
01:16:37would not acknowledge
01:16:38what was happening with the children
01:16:40or Fatima
01:16:45the extraterrestrials give to the children
01:16:47a telepathic message
01:16:48saying
01:16:50you are not alone
01:16:51on this planet
01:16:52we are here
01:16:54we have been here
01:16:55some thousands of years ago
01:16:56we observe you
01:16:58please prepare mankind
01:17:00that we will return again
01:17:02all this story of Fatima
01:17:06went to the Vatican
01:17:07but is it possible
01:17:11as ancient astronaut theorists contend
01:17:13that the Catholic Church
01:17:15censored the messages
01:17:17the messages
01:17:18that were received
01:17:19in Fatima
01:17:21the kids were given
01:17:22three messages
01:17:24and the Pope
01:17:25refused
01:17:27to release
01:17:28the third message
01:17:29the third message
01:17:30apparently talks
01:17:32about
01:17:33extraterrestrial life
01:17:35now that is sensational
01:17:37because to me
01:17:38to deny
01:17:40the revelation
01:17:41of that particular message
01:17:43and that is exactly
01:17:45what the Pope did
01:17:47and I wonder why
01:17:50some contend
01:17:53that the miracle of Fatima
01:17:55is one of many events
01:17:56that describe visitations
01:17:58from extraterrestrial messengers
01:18:00researchers
01:18:02researchers also point to the voices
01:18:04described by Joan of Arc
01:18:06visions received in Lourdes
01:18:08by Bernadette Soubaros
01:18:10and countless stories depicted
01:18:12in the Hebrew Bible
01:18:13in which similar events
01:18:15are described
01:18:16perhaps the Vatican knows
01:18:18far more about life in the universe
01:18:20than they have acknowledged
01:18:22but does a belief in alien life
01:18:27question the omnipotence
01:18:28of a supreme being
01:18:29of course
01:18:31the Vatican knows
01:18:32about extraterrestrial life
01:18:34but to suggest
01:18:35that because extraterrestrials exist
01:18:38that means there is no God
01:18:40is total nonsense
01:18:41Safford, Arizona
01:18:48130 miles northeast of Tucson
01:18:51the Mount Graham
01:18:53International Observatory
01:18:55here
01:18:56the Roman Catholic Church
01:18:58quietly operates
01:18:59a massive telescope
01:19:01that scans the heavens
01:19:02day after day
01:19:04as does another telescope
01:19:06in Rome
01:19:07what do they expect to find?
01:19:10we're doing all kinds of research work
01:19:12into various aspects of the heavens
01:19:15so from the very nearest
01:19:16around planets nearby
01:19:20our own solar system
01:19:22out through to our galaxy
01:19:25galaxies beyond that
01:19:27and then the universe as a whole
01:19:29might the Catholic Church
01:19:31be monitoring our cosmic neighbors
01:19:33and preparing for the day
01:19:35when science and governments
01:19:37acknowledge their existence?
01:19:39the Vatican Observatory
01:19:41on Mount Graham
01:19:42is very near the San Francisco peaks
01:19:44which is the sacred mountain
01:19:46to the Hopi and Zuni Indians
01:19:48where the sky people
01:19:49come and go from
01:19:50I find it very interesting
01:19:52that the Vatican should have
01:19:53an observatory
01:19:54right at this very sacred
01:19:56and crucial spot
01:19:57also well known as a corridor
01:19:59for UFO activity
01:20:00if you are a Vatican
01:20:04a government
01:20:05and you have secret knowledge
01:20:07that there's other life
01:20:08in the universe
01:20:09they're going to be forced
01:20:11into public statements
01:20:15consistent with a Catholic view
01:20:18of the divine
01:20:19in 2008
01:20:23the Vatican stunned the world
01:20:25when it announced
01:20:26that the possibility
01:20:27of extraterrestrial life
01:20:28was not in conflict
01:20:30with church teachings
01:20:32might they know something?
01:20:34we don't
01:20:36do you think they came forward
01:20:40with such a statement
01:20:42out of thin air willy-nilly?
01:20:44no, there was a deliberate calculation
01:20:48behind releasing such a statement
01:20:51all you have to do is open your eyes
01:20:55and it becomes quite clear
01:20:57we've been visited
01:20:58and the Vatican knows that
01:21:00the Vatican does not have a specific
01:21:03stance on extraterrestrial life
01:21:05if extraterrestrial life was found
01:21:09then the church would react
01:21:13as it does with any data
01:21:16what's about it
01:21:17to learn
01:21:20a living experience
01:21:21would be the experience
01:21:22of extraterrestrials
01:21:28might the growing accounts
01:21:30of messages
01:21:31shared with a select few
01:21:32here on earth
01:21:33have prompted the Vatican
01:21:35to begin acknowledging
01:21:36other life in the universe
01:21:39and if extraterrestrials are
01:21:42delivering messages to humans
01:21:45could they be signaling
01:21:47a reunion
01:21:48with our ancient ancestors
01:21:50if so
01:21:52perhaps the otherworldly guidance
01:21:54passed down through the ages
01:21:56was never meant
01:21:57for our salvation
01:21:59but to ready us
01:22:00for their return
01:22:02we find this incredible lineage
01:22:07of messengers
01:22:08from Hammurabi
01:22:09to Echnaut
01:22:11and Moses
01:22:12to Enoch
01:22:13we think of them as prophets
01:22:15but they're messengers
01:22:16but today we call them
01:22:17contactees
01:22:18yeah right
01:22:19and you have all of these
01:22:20messengers of God
01:22:21from ancient times
01:22:23but their messages are so similar
01:22:24to the modern contactees
01:22:26it seems like the same message
01:22:28well yeah
01:22:29and I mean the basic tenet
01:22:30of the ancient astronaut theory
01:22:32is that it was not an encounter
01:22:34with God
01:22:35it was an encounter
01:22:36with an extraterrestrial
01:22:38in possession of a spaceship
01:22:40and the message that they receive
01:22:43is one day
