Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 10, Episode 1 - Aliens B.C. - full transcript

Enormous manmade caves... Unexplainable structures... And underwater discoveries that challenge everything we know about the past...Is it possible that an advanced civilization inhabited Earth thousands of years ago?

Enormous man-made caves.

Nobody knows what
on earth these things are.

Unexplainable structures.

You ask them,
"How did you build these?"

And they'll say,
"We didn't build this."

And underwater discoveries

that challenge everything
we know about the past.

That's amazing.

I'm convinced.
Something's going on down there.

Is it possible
that an advanced civilization

inhabited the earth thousands of years ago?



And if so, were they human

or something out of this world?

Extraterrestrials colonized Planet Earth

thousands of years ago.

The more we uncover, it will
all point in one direction.

We are not the first.

Since the dawn of civilization,

mankind has credited its origins to gods

and other visitors from the stars.

What if it were true?

Did extraterrestrial beings

really help to shape our history?

And if so...

what might we learn
from the study of aliens BC?

Aliens B.C.
Original Air Date on July 24, 2015

Traverse City, Michigan.

May 22, 2015.

At an undisclosed location

in Traverse Bay on Lake Michigan,

author and explorer David Childress

has teamed up with
sonar technician Brian Abbott

and underwater photographer Chris Doyal

to investigate a series of strange

underwater rock alignments

they first discovered in 2007.

So you don't bring very many
people out here, do you?

No, you're one of the first
we've brought out to this site.

We try and keep it kind of quiet and secret.

Chris has been out here a few times.

Well, it's a pretty sensitive site, so
we try to keep traffic to a minimum.

Well, how did you find this site, anyway?

Uh, we were actually
out looking for shipwrecks

and we put our sonar down off the side

and I started to see stones
line up on my rose compass.

Okay, and then you deploy this
sonar and take a picture, huh?

Yeah, we, uh, we can get
that done here real quick,

we can deploy the sonar off the side

and, uh, start getting some images

and show you what we've got on the screen.

All right, great, let's do it.

Excellent.

When I first found these
on the computer screen,

I started to laugh, because it was like,

this can't be true, and I jokingly said,

"Hey, we have our own
Stonehenge underwater,"

and everyone, "Ha, ha, ha,"

and I started looking at it
farther and I'm going,

"Wow. We might have something here."

Set the cable here, we'll be all set.

So we'll take a look at the computer screen.

Okay?

All right.
So the sonar's spinning around.

So as you can see in this,
uh, deployment location,

we have, we've got one, two,
three, four, five, six stones.

And what's really interesting about this

is, these stones all measure
the same distance across.

Yeah, this does look
like an artificial alignment...

this stone circle and then
this line of stones there.

Yeah, that was unique to me,

because as an engineer, when I look at stuff

that's square or rectangular
or circle in nature,

it-it kind of makes it jump out,
because Mother Nature

generally doesn't do things like that.

What I saw on the sonar

looked a lot like stone circles

and stone alignments
that I've seen in England,

or Carnac in France,

and it makes me wonder what's going on here

in Ancient North America.

So have you actually, uh, been down here

in scuba equipment?

No, I haven't, but Chris has.

Yeah, we went down and I actually
took some still photographs of it

and we noticed on one of the stones

there's some really interesting
carvings on the surface of it.

Some people have even said

that it appears to resemble a mastodon.

Really?
- Really.

- Wow. Can we go down there now and see it?
- Yeah, absolutely.

Taking an underwater camera

down to the mastodon rock,

Chris Doyal will send up a live feed

to a monitor on the boat.

As he descends, he's gonna pick
out the stone here.

Okay.

- What's that?
- That's the stone.

Is-is this the stone
that has the carvings on it?

Yes, it is.
So he's moving slowly in on it.

So you can see the head,
right through there.

There's a tusk.

So we have one leg coming down.

It does look like the
stone has been carved, and...

- Yeah.
- Yeah, you can see the legs and a trunk on it.

Wow! That's amazing.

I'm...
- Yeah, it truly is.

Yeah, I-I'm convinced.

Uh, something's going on down there.

Between 10,000 and 12,000 years ago,

mastodons went extinct.

So we've got a carving on a rock formation

at, you know, a depth of water

that, uh, you know, probably
shouldn't be here, but is here.

This rock is probably made out of granite,

which is very, very hard,

and if you look up close at these markings,

you can see that these were made
by percussion marks.

These weren't just scratched
into the surface,

that each line was individually pecked out.

That rock looks like it has
a carving of a mastodon on it.

And that would mean that
that carving was made

before the extinction of these mastodons.

So you have to wonder

what was going on here in North America

at the time of the last ice age.

The carved image of a mastodon?

An animal that has been extinct

for over 10,000 years?

But what is it doing
at the bottom of Lake Michigan?

Could it really be part

of an artificially created rock formation,

like Stonehenge in England?

If so, it would have to have been created

before the end of the last ice
age, when the lake bed was dry...

over 12,000 years ago...

and that would contradict
the currently held belief

that early humans were not capable

of erecting monumental
structures in North America,

or anywhere else, at that time.

You never know when something's
going to pop up

that's going to totally change

your whole view of a, of a period

or even of human development.

One of the main trends
that I've noticed in archaeology

is that the dates for things
tend to go back all the time;

the earliest pottery in a place,

the earliest arrival of people in a place.

They always turn out to be earlier

than we traditionally thought.

Today we know that there was a monument

on the site of Stonehenge
at least 10,000 years ago.

And this is not speculation.

The archaeologists are saying this today.

And the same thing seems to be going on

in other parts of the world.

New dating techniques

done by geologists on the Sphinx in Giza

indicate that it was carved
before 10,000 BC.

So more and more, as we make
new discoveries in archaeology,

it's pushing mankind and civilization

back farther and farther.

Earth has a much deeper

prehistory than what we read
about in textbooks today.

You can read that Puma Punku
or Tiahuanaco, for example,

was built between 500 and 800 AD.

Some archaeologists have suggested

that Puma Punku and Tiahuanaco

might date back as far as 12,000 years BC,

so around 14,000 years ago.

Could it be

that a sophisticated culture
existed on Earth

thousands and even tens
of thousands of years ago?

But if so, who built it?

What happened to it?

And might there still be remnants of it,

standing boldly, right before our eyes?

According to ancient astronaut theorists,

many of the answers can be found
by looking no further

than the Old Testament of the Bible.

Throughout the world, there are
incredible man-made structures

that have been found to date
back thousands of years earlier

than archaeologists initially thought.

Is it possible that an advanced
civilization really existed

on Earth in mankind's prehistory?

A close examination
of the so-called "Old Testament"

of the Judeo-Christian Bible suggests

that although Adam and Eve are

presumably the first humans created by God,

their son Cain later went on to marry
and join a thriving community.

There are a number of biblical stories

which make us suspect

that perhaps Homo sapiens were
not the only species on Earth

or even the first ones.

Although Adam and Eve are recorded

in the Garden of Eden
as the first human parents

that when Cain went on his way

after murdering his brother, Abel,

he comes to another city
with other beings living in it.

Now, who are they?
What are they?

According to ancient astronaut theorists,

several ancient texts can be
found that describe beings

that dwelled upon the earth
before the time of Adam and Eve.

These are often referred to
as the "pre-Adamites."

There is a long and ancient history

of what today are called pre-Adamites.

Now, who are they and what are they?

This is a subject, of course,
of many legends.

Those legends tell us
tremendous amount of things.

People's lives extended
for thousands of years.

They allegedly reached
high levels of technology,

even traveling to the stars,

and yet somehow something went
wrong in their civilization.

The pre-Adamic civilization fell,

but some went to the stars,

and they were told, ordered by God,

to watch and to observe.

Well, let's assume for a moment

that we had this incredible
planet, and, all of a sudden,

the extraterrestrials,
other beings, came here,

and they had their own
facilities, their own monuments,

their own communities
for at least some time.

And then, somewhere along
the line, they took off.

Stories of a time

when otherworldly beings
occupied the planet can be found

in nearly all world mythologies.

For the ancient Egyptians,

the dawn of life on Earth is referred to

as "Zep Tepi," "the first time,"

when the god Osiris served
as an earthly ruler.

The ancient Greeks called
this period the "Golden Age,"

when the Titans and
the Olympians dwelled on Earth.

And the ancient Sumerian
accounts detail a time

before the creation of man

when the gods were the sole
occupants of the planet.

The basic suggestion is
that extraterrestrials colonized

Planet Earth thousands of years ago,

and we're talking not 10,000
or 15,000 years ago,

but hundreds of thousands of years ago.

But if an advanced,
possibly extraterrestrial,

civilization really did exist here on Earth,

why is there no record of it?

No apparent archaeological
or architectural evidence?

For most of the cultures
studied by archaeology,

we are bereft

of probably the vast majority
of what they produced.

This is particularly true the
further back in time you go,

simply because anything organic
will-will not survive.

The reason why most
of the ancient monuments

were built by using stone
is because stone lasts forever.

That's it.

And the reason why we have
these monuments today

is because they were calling cards.

They were calling cards
of a pre-civilization.

Mechanical engineers,
like Nikhil Kar, study

the deterioration, corrosion
and decomposition

of various materials to
determine the approximate rate

of decay and structural failure.

By applying these principles to a cityscape,

scientists are able to determine

roughly how long it would take the hallmarks

of a sophisticated civilization
to disappear.

If civilization was abandoned,
after 50 years,

you would start to see, um,
material degradation processes

take over for a skyscraper, for example,

would see parts of the external
facade crumbling to the ground.

For steel material, you're gonna
start to see little pits form

in that steel structure.

After a thousand years, the soil
may begin to absorb the material

and erode the material itself.

Eventually, you're gonna get to a point

where only stone materials,

natural stones are gonna be
around, such as Mount Rushmore.

Quito, Ecuador.

Here in the grasslands of South America

are the remnants of the Great Incan Road.

The sophisticated network
of pathways and trails covers

over 25,000 miles though Ecuador, Peru,

Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.

The Inca built this vast roadway

without the use of the wheel,
draft animals, metal tools

or even a written language.

Yet modern engineers have noted

that the roadway incorporates
advanced engineering principles.

The Inca road system was really one

of the most magnificent ancient
architectural feats ever made.

One of the things that made
the Inca roads so incredible

is that they traversed the Andes,

these incredibly tall, steep mountains.

They had to bore tunnels through mountains.

They cut narrow paths
along sheer cliff faces.

One of the most intriguing things

about the Inca road system
is that there is a major artery

that goes from the northwest
to the southeast.

And along that,

we find almost every major
megalithic construction,

including Tiahuanaco, Puma Punku,

Cuzco, Machu Picchu,

Ollantaytambo and Saksaywaman.

Many are starting to believe
that these megalithic structures

are thousands of years older than the Inca,

and therefore parts of the Inca
road system are, as well,

thousands of years older
than that civilization.

The Incas, so many of their great structures

Cuzco and their royal highway

you ask them, "Who built these?
How did you build these?"

And they'll say,
"We didn't build this."

Well, who did build it?

The Incas had elaborate legends

of coming through
tunnel systems in the earth,

appearing on an island in Lake Titicaca,

and then coming to Cuzco

and finding already a-a system

of tunnels and-and ancient mines
and structures.

It was home of the gods.

It's where they lived before they left.

Is it possible that the foundations

of the Inca superhighway

and the megalithic sites
along it are remnants

of an extraterrestrial civilization

that once colonized Earth?

According to ancient astronaut theorists,

the answer is a profound yes.

And to prove it, they point to a series

of stone carvings said to depict mankind's

ancient ancestors.

Southeastern Turkey.

Buried beneath 20 feet of sand,

archaeologists unearth

the world's oldest temple complex...

Gobekli Tepe.

Radiocarbon dating suggests

that the site dates back

to at least the tenth century BC,

a time before the end of the last ice age

and 6,000 years before prehistoric man

was said to have developed language.

Gobekli Tepe is really one

of the greatest archaeological
discoveries of all time.

There are very few finds in archaeology

that really changed the whole
way we look at the past.

And that is essentially what has happened,

because our view of hunter-gatherers,

uh, has changed enormously.

We now know they were capable
of coming together

in large numbers with...
under presumably

some kind of authority
to cooperate on massive projects

such as Gobekli Tepe, which
involved bringing huge pieces

of stone from quite some distance away,

carving it beautifully,
setting these pillars upright,

and doing this on a massive scale.

The very first temples in
the world are at Gobekli Tepe.

And-and this in many ways
changes everything,

because here we have the smoking gun

of a lost civilization.

It confirms to us absolutely

that at the end of the last ice age,

there was high culture
existing in the world.

There's no doubt in my mind
that there are question marks

all around the ancient world.

And Gobekli Tepe offers
such a giant question mark,

because according to mainstream science,

we were sitting in caves,
munching on bananas.

And clearly that isn't the case.

Although, to date, archaeologists

have only excavated less than one acre

of this 22-acre site,

what they have found is astounding.

The remains of a complex of buildings,

massive walls

and T-shaped stone formations,

some nine to ten feet tall

and weighing up to 50 tons.

Many of the stone pillars are covered

with relief carvings of animals,

reptiles and insects.

Archaeologists have also found
figures at the site

that appear to represent humans

with strangely stylized clothing.

We have no idea what
these humans represent.

We suspect that these
are not just simple statues

commemorating people.

T-They could be gods.
They could be spirits.

They could be ancestors,
something of that kind.

But perhaps most intriguing
is a life-size statue

found just six miles away

that has been dated to the same period...

the Urfa Man.

This looks like a person

who has come from an advanced civilization,

who's wearing something that has
much more of a defined collar,

possibly even some sort
of advanced space suit.

What the heck is he doing there?

His face looks strange, he's bald,

his head, his eyes look weird.

There's something unusual about this guy,

and that could be a clue
that leads us into the mystery

of an antediluvian,
or pre-flood, civilization.

Is it possible that
the strange humanoid figure

found near Gobekli Tepe

actually represents an extraterrestrial?

A being from a lost civilization
that existed on Earth

sometime before the last ice age?

If so, does it give credence
to other ancient stories

describing otherworldly civilizations

that once existed here on Earth?

There is this recessed courtyard
in Tiahuanaco

that has all these different faces.

These stones were found underneath the soil,

meaning that at some point,
some type of event happened

that buried these particular stones.

Some have actually surmised

that they represent some type
of a pre-flood civilization,

that what we have here is, in fact,

a remnant that depicts that society.

All over the world, we have giant statues

and-and carvings
of people's faces and heads.

Some of them are giant colossal heads

like the Olmec colossal heads.

Others are the Easter Island
type statues, which are huge

and depict people who have elongated heads.

They're cone heads, essentially.

They were giants of yore
with godlike powers.

In my mind, we would
call them extraterrestrials.

In all of these places,
the locals are saying,

"Yes, these are our ancestors.

These are the people who came before us."

Might our planet really
have been inhabited

by alien visitors
tens of thousands of years ago?

And might they have brought
with them advanced knowledge,

incredible architecture

and technology that virtually
vanished, without a trace...

save for a few stone carvings and monuments?

But why?

What catastrophic event
might have happened on Earth

that would have wiped out everything
that wasn't made of stone?

Perhaps further evidence
can be found by examining

a number of massive man-made caves

recently discovered in China.

Zhejiang Province, China.

June 1992.

A local villager pumping water
out of a pond in Phoenix Hill

uncovers a man-made cavern with stairs...

hallways...

and massive ten-story-tall pillars.

The grotto is one in a series

of 24 separate caverns,

each with similar proportions

and intricately carved walls,

floors and ceilings.

Nobody really knows what
on earth these things are.

There's no trace
of them having been occupied

or being used for storage.

Uh, certainly not for burials.

There's no trace of anything like that.

There's a Swiss author
by the name of Luc Burgin

who was the first to take
this story outside of China

in his book China's
Mysterious Cave Labyrinth.

And what he showed me
convinced me that some kind

of advanced technology was used here.

It's one of the most
amazing things I've ever seen,

where you enter this subterranean world

that clearly has been
hewn out of the bedrock

with artificial means.

It's almost as if there was some
sort of artificial mechanism

that was grinding and drilling
all of the stone out,

and this suggests the possibility

that they may have had
some sort of technology.

Archaeologists estimate

that the material excavated from the site

would amount to nearly
one million cubic meters...

approximately the volume

of 400 Olympic-sized pools.

Yet there is no evidence

of where this material would have gone.

And Chinese officials have calculated

that an endeavor of this
magnitude would take a minimum

of 1,000 men working day and night

for at least five years.

There is no historical record, uh,

of these caverns having been excavated.

So there's no document explaining
what they were used for,

who excavated them.

And this remains a very, very, uh,
frustrating detail for historians.

We know that in China

there are written records that go back

at least 3,000 years.

They make absolutely
no mention of these caves.

So we must look much further back in time

for their origin.

But exactly how old are they?

Are they 4,000 years, 5,000 years?

Are they even 10,000 years?
We just don't know at this time.

Some have suggested

that they're up to 15,000 years old.

In fact, Chinese scholars
are the ones who have proposed

that this cave system dates back

to one of China's first emperors, Huang Di.

And Huang Di, as we all know,

descended from the sky in nothing
else but a fiery dragon.

Somebody went to an
extreme amount of trouble

to build an underground civilization.

Why would they do that?

Is it possible that something was
happening on the surface of the Earth?

When we go back to the Icelandic legends,

we see this cataclysm

that is described as a cataclysm
of fire called the Ragnarok

in which you have flames
in the air and rocks and gravel

raining down from the sky.

In the Icelandic Ragnarok legend,

the world is turned upside down.

A great fire is followed by a submersion

of the world in water,

resulting in the death of the
Nordic gods and their offspring.

Only two humans are left
to repopulate the earth.

It is a tale much like
that of the Great Flood found

in the Judeo-Christian Bible.

And similar stories of a great deluge...

one that marks the end of an old world

and the start of a new one...
can be found in the histories

of virtually every ancient civilization

on our planet.

Virtually every culture,
every ancient culture

talks about floods and ancient floods.

Some people dismiss this as, you know,

myth without explanation.

But what we find geologically is, in fact,

we would expect flood legends.

In 2007, a consortium of geologists

publishes its collective
findings indicating evidence

of a major meteor event.

What they discover is a carbon-rich layer

in the geological record at various sites

across the globe dating back

to around 10,900 BC.

A separate study conducted by scientists

studying Arctic ice core samples
finds evidence

suggesting a rapid glacial melt

at nearly the same time period.

The Ice Age ends very,

very dramatically,
almost literally overnight.

You see this in the ice cores.

All of a sudden, there are dramatic changes,

temperatures rising,

torrential rains,

flooding.

Could the geological record suggest

that the stories
of a global cataclysm are true?

If so, might the stories
of a cleansing of the earth

of otherworldly beings, leaving only humans

to repopulate the planet, also be true?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and suggest further evidence
exists in the tales

of a long lost continent.

Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Here at the Minnesota Historical Society

are housed boxes upon boxes

of notes, letters

and research material detailing evidence

of an antediluvian,
or pre-flood, civilization.

The collection is the culmination

of an exhaustive search for proof

of a prehistoric civilization,

conducted by
the 19th century U.S. senator.

Ignatius Donnelly.

Ignatius Donnelly was
a very interesting person.

He was a U.S. congressman.

Um, he was a writer.

He was a-a cryptologist.

And in 1882 he came out
with his most famous book...

_

What he did was to propose the existence

of a mother civilization,

a-a lost civilization that existed

at the time of the last ice age.

Ignatius Donnelly was
fascinated by the story

of a lost civilization that was destroyed

over 10,000 years ago.

He looked into all kinds of
scientific anomalies at the time,

including the extinction
of mammoths and other animals.

Stories of a civilization
within the Americas

and in the Atlantic.

In his writings, Donnelly concluded

that not only did a lost
civilization actually exist,

but that it was destroyed
due to a meteoric-type event

that shifted the earth's axis
in the distant past.

Donnelly believed that remnants
of this civilization

could be found in the Americas...

and the ultimate evidence would be located

underwater in the Caribbean.

He was convinced that when
Christopher Columbus sailed west

from Spain in 1492,

he knew this as well.

The explorer Christopher Columbus,

before his epic journey to the New World,

was very much aware of the
stories of a lost civilization.

It was something that was discussed

in the various European cults at this time.

Ancient mariners, the voyagers of the past,

had maps which showed
different areas of the earth,

which they could not know
anything possibly about

because they hadn't been
discovered at that time,

and were probably accessible

to people like Christopher Columbus,

before his journey to the New World.

There were legends in the Middle Ages

that there was a land

and a continent across the Atlantic.

And early maps started showing...

before Columbus, even...

a large island in the Atlantic,

which they called Antillia.

Columbus, on his first journey
to the New World,

as he neared the Caribbean,

he started seeing weird lights in the sky.

So you have to wonder:

were extraterrestrials

purposely trying to help Columbus?

Perhaps some of the knowledge
that he had of maps,

and that he was really going
to find land across this ocean,

had been assured to him.

Could Columbus have been
purposely guided to this area

not only by ancient maps of unknown origin,

but also by extraterrestrial beings?

Although the secret maps and charts

of Christopher Columbus have been lost,

scholars attribute them
as having been a key source

in the creation of one of
history's most enigmatic maps.

The Piri Reis map has been dated to 1513 AD,

but what it illustrates
suggests geological knowledge

that was unknown until our modern age.

A Turkish seaman,

an admiral, painted the map.

His name was Piri Reis.

Now, if you see the map, you see the
coastline of the southern part of France.

Then you see Spain.

Then you see what is today's Gibraltar.

Then you see a part of Africa.

On the other side, you see
a coastline of South America,

but what is important,

on the bottom of the map of Piri Reis

you see the coastline of Antarctica.

Now, this coastline is covered
today with ice and snow.

So somebody must have mapped
this before the Ice Age.

The continent of Antarctica
was discovered in 1820,

over 300 years after Piri Reis drew his map.

And scientists have proposed
that the Antarctic coastline

has been obscured by ice

for at least 6,000 years.

Could it be that the original
source for the maps of Columbus

and the Piri Reis map
predates our recorded history?

If so, has evidence
been left behind on Earth

to assure that we can piece
together the truth

about a lost civilization?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes and claim

further proof may be found underwater

in the Bahamas.

Andros Island, the Bahamas. 2003.

Members of the Association

for Research and Enlightenment

conduct aerial searches
for underwater structures

that might reveal evidence
of a lost civilization.

Off of the coast of Andros,

they discovered

an incredible platform of rectangular

and square stones that stretched

for several hundred yards.

And all the indications are

that it goes back
to the end of the last ice age

and is probably around
11,000 to 12,000 years old.

The search is part of a long-term project

working in conjunction
with the Cayce Foundation.

Their quest is to locate remnants

of the lost continent of Atlantis,

which healer and psychic Edgar Cayce

said would be located in the area.

Edgar Cayce is arguably
America's greatest psychic.

He was born in 1877, died in 1945,

and he has documented
over 14,000 psychic readings.

What's interesting is that Cayce also
got into things like reincarnation.

Some of Cayce's clients were
told that they had lifetimes

in the so-called mythical
civilization of Atlantis.

In fact, Cayce's reading said

that the people of Atlantis, as a whole,

had mass reincarnated
as the people of America

and that America was, in a sense,

a future-life carryover of Atlantis.

Cayce revealed in his psychic readings

that the truth about the nature
of this lost civilization

exists in a hidden hall of records

at three locations across the globe:

in Egypt near the Sphinx,

underwater in the Bahamas,

and in the Yucat?n Peninsula.

Any three of these areas
apparently would have

all of the records that we would need

to completely rebuild our history

and understand how there may have been

much more widespread

extraterrestrial presence here on Earth.

Could recent archaeological finds

in the Bahamas confirm
that Edgar Cayce was right

about the existence of a lost
extraterrestrial civilization?

And if so, should we be concerned

about his predictions
for the future of humanity?

Cayce was a cataclysmist,

and in his readings,
he was constantly talking

about Earth changes and pole shifts

that caused civilizations to be destroyed

in ancient times.

And Cayce said that we were
gonna have another pole shift

around the time of the millennium.

Even a relatively small asteroid,

coming in at the right angle...

not necessarily hitting Earth,
but sort of grazing the earth...

could, theoretically, change the tilt axis

of the earth significantly.

Now, if that occurred,

land and ocean would
redistribute on the earth.

It seems as if history repeats itself.

And it may be that at this moment,

we are exactly in the same situation

that the citizens of Atlantis were in.

Perhaps we will find out
exactly what had happened

to this lost civilization

and learn from their mistakes

and not sink into oblivion ourselves.

The more we uncover, it will
all point in one direction.

We are not the first
and we never have been.

An extraterrestrial
pre-civilization existed

before our recorded history,

and this truth will be revealed

within our lifetime.

Could the stories of a time

when gods and otherworldly beings

inhabited the earth
be more than just mythology?

And might the discovery
of unexplainable remnants

from this lost civilization reveal the truth

about our extraterrestrial origins,

as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

Perhaps we are on the verge of uncovering

the final piece of the puzzle

that will change our understanding

of Earth's history forever.

But will we uncover it

before it's too late?
