Ancient Aliens (2009–…): Season 12, Episode 11 - Voices of the Gods - full transcript
Text written in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India, describe modern day technologies with surprising accuracy. This is attributed to Hindu gods being on earth while writing these texts. Could these gods actually be ancient al...
GIORGIO A. TSOUKALOS:
This design has been taken
from a text that's at least
1,800 years old.
TRAVIS TAYLOR: Our vehicle
was showing positive lift,
like an aircraft would.
TSOUKALOS:
So the information contained
in the ancient texts
is indeed accurate.
PRAVEEN MOHAN:
Now, this is a vast medical text
and it's considered
the foundation
of traditional Indian medicine.
TSOUKALOS:
Oh, so this is the basis
for Ayurvedic medicine?
MOHAN:
Yes. This book was written
more than a 100 years
before Hippocrates,
the father of modern medicine.
Incredible.
There is information
about science,
technology, and medicine
preserved in ancient India.
Where did the ancestors
receive this information?
Aliens.
People from other planet.
Who are the real-world Illuminati ?

NARRATOR: India.
Home to over 1.3 billion people.
It is the second most populous
nation in the world.
Although it is home
to some of mankind's
oldest civilizations,
India has, in recent years,
also undergone
rapid modernization.
The city of Bangalore,
for example,
is the headquarters
of literally thousands
of information technology
companies,
and has been ranked as
one of the most high-tech cities
in the world.
But these advancements
also coexist
with the country's
ancient origins.
Roughly 80%
of the Indian population
practices Hinduism.
And for the Hindu faithful,
their gods are not
mythological creatures,
but are real
flesh-and-blood beings
that have, at times,
been present here on Earth.
For the Indian people,
the basis of their religion
is essential
to the fabric of their lives.
JONATHAN YOUNG: Many
of the faithful, to this day,
see these accounts
not as fanciful, but as history.
They take it literally
that the gods
walked among human beings
and conveyed knowledge.
MOHAN: In the Hindu tradition,
these ancient gods
are not considered
just symbolic
or mythical beings.
They are considered
as flesh-and-blood beings
that came down from the sky
and existed in real life.
NARRATOR:
The foundation of Hinduism
is carefully preserved
in India's most ancient texts.
And according
to their traditions,
these texts are accounts
given directly
by the gods themselves,
and only transcribed by humans.
This collection
includes the Vedas,
or Hindu scriptures,
as well as other manuscripts
written in the early
Sanskrit language.
Vedic scholars suggest knowledge
pertaining to architecture,
science,
technology, weaponry,
and medicine
are preserved in meticulous
detail in these works.
DEEPAK SHIMKHADA:
The origins of the Vedic text
goes back to cosmic time.
They have been around
for thousands of thousands
of years.
It is believed
that the knowledge
came directly from gods.
DAVID WILCOCK: We are seeing
a handbook of the gods.
We are looking at an endowment
from some superior intelligence
that appears to have been given
to us as a very practical guide
in ways that benefit humankind
all across the board.
NARRATOR: But if the ancient
texts of India
are truly attributable
to the extraterrestrial gods,
just what information
do they contain?
Sirpur, India.
The Surang Tila Temple.
This structure,
which dates back
to the seventh century AD,
was recently unearthed
after being buried
by a powerful earthquake
that occurred
in the 11th century.
Although the rest of the area
was completely leveled,
the structure itself
remained largely intact.
Archaeologists suggest
that this is due to the advanced
construction techniques,
known as Ayurvedic
or Vedic architecture,
utilized by its builders.
The principles they used
are derived
from the ancient science
of design
that can be traced back
to the ancient Indian texts.
In March 2017,
researcher and ancient astronaut
theorist GIORGIO TSOUKALOS
traveled to India
to meet with archaeologist
Dr. Arun Sharma,
who headed the dig.
This is beautiful.
Mm-hmm.
Really?
Now, is this considered.
Ayurvedic architecture,
right here?
That's amazing. Huh.
Okay.
NARRATOR:
Although much of the site
has been renovated
using modern concrete,
blocks held together
by the Ayurvedic paste
can still be found.
It seems to be almost like a...
s-some type of glue.
NARRATOR:
The glue-like substance
is said to form a bond
that is at least 20 times
stronger than concrete.
But modern builders
have been unwilling
to entertain the notion
that such an ancient concoction
could be superior
to today's building materials.
Wow, look at this.
Beautiful.
NARRATOR:
The detailed instructions
for making this paste
can be found
in an ancient Indian text
known as the Mayamatam...
A manuscript dedicated
to construction techniques.
The information
contained within the document
is understood to have been
passed down to humans
from Mayasura,
the ancient king
of the demigods,
who was said to oversee
various construction projects
on Earth,
including cities in the sky.
This, right here?
NARRATOR: Curiously,
there is a more astounding
earthquake-proof feature
at the site
which indicates
that advanced knowledge
was used in its construction.
Located at key points
within the Surang Tila Temple
are several 80-foot long shafts
designed to form air pockets
that can dissipate the impact
of seismic events.
Yes, please.
All right.
Wow.
Oh, wow, this is big.
It's a huge book.
And-and this text
has been around
for 4,500 years?
In your opinion, where
did this knowledge come from?
Uh-huh.
And you think
that this knowledge
originated from the stars?
That's amazing.
NARRATOR:
According to the Hindu faithful,
the construction techniques used
at the Surang Tila Temple
are just one example
of advanced technology
detailed in the ancient
Sanskrit texts.
Other works are said
to contain information
far beyond the scope
of early man...
Perhaps even providing
concrete proof
of extraterrestrial activity
on Earth.
Coming up... NARRATOR:
The Indus Valley.
Northwest India and Pakistan.
June 2011.
Paleontologists discover
a 4,300-year-old skull
featuring multiple
drilled holes in it.
Remarkably, they conclude
these are signs that
brain surgery was performed.
And it even appears that
the operation was successful,
as the wound showed signs
of advanced healing.
NOORY: In ancient India,
they performed
incredible kinds of medicine
and surgical procedures
on people.
Things like
operating on the skull.
What's fascinating
about this is...
is this kind
of advanced medical knowledge
goes way back, way back.
And they were able
to use those techniques
to heal people.
NARRATOR: Vedic scholars
suggest that not only
were the ancient Hindus
able to perform brain surgery,
but other
advanced procedures as well.
And much of this
medical knowledge
was set to record
in a Sanskrit text
dating back to 800 BC,
known as the Sushruta Samhita.
In 2017 at a local library
in Mahabalipuram, India,
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS
meets with fellow
ancient astronaut theorist.
Praveen Mohan to take
a closer look at the text.
Now this is a, uh,
vast medical text
that contains information
about more than
11,000 illnesses.
Uh, it talks about
700 medicinal plants,
64 preparations
from mineral resources,
57 preparations
from animal resources,
and it's considered the
foundation of Ayurveda,
the traditional Indian medicine.
Oh, so this is the basis
for Ayurvedic medicine right here.
Yes, yes.
I was able to find a passage.
I thought you might find it,
- you know, interesting.
- Mm-hmm.
Right here.
Now you can see where it says
that surgical operations
are of eight types.
They are incising,
excising, scraping, puncturing,
probing, extracting,
secreting fluids,
and even suturing.
So imagine, we had suturing
2,600 years ago. -Mm-hmm.
And this book was written
more than a hundred years
before Hippocrates,
the father of modern medicine.
That is amazing. And how was
this information obtained?
Like, what's the story
behind this?
Well, the title Sushruta Samhita
means that the author Sushruta
is not really the author.
He did not write this book.
He got this information from
a character called Dhanvantari,
who was an otherworldly being.
NARRATOR:
Dhanvantari is believed
to be the physician to the gods
and the father
of Ayurvedic medicine.
SHIMKHADA: Dhanvantari himself
has a divine origin
associated with the churning
of the milky ocean.
The churning of the milk of sea
refers to, perhaps, uh,
the Milky Way.
Dhanvantari came out of that
and then he was
the god of medicine.
And he, then, gave this
knowledge of medicine
to human beings.
TSOUKALOS: Dhanvantari was said
to have originated
from the Milky Way.
And so, all of a sudden,
you have a connection
with this deity arriving
from the Milky Way.
Well, what more do you want?
The knowledge contained
in this document,
known as the Sushruta Samhita,
was brought here
by an extraterrestrial visitor.
NARRATOR:
Ayurvedic medicine is considered
one of the world's oldest and
most detailed healing sciences.
Is it possible that it was
really handed down to mankind
by alien sources?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
and suggest that other texts
clearly reveal
this extraterrestrial
connection.
Mumbai University.
Kalina, India.
January 2015.
The Indian Science Congress
presents talks on various
technical disciplines
to an audience of some of
India's top engineers.
Included in the list
of presentations
is a lecture on "Ancient Indian
Aviation Technology"
given by retired pilot
and flight instructor.
Captain Anand J. Bodas.
In his lecture, Captain Anand
Bodas told young engineers
that they should recreate what
is given in ancient Vedic texts,
because in the field
of aviation,
there are much more
advanced devices mentioned
than what we have today.
NOORY: This was a very
controversial talk
because you had one camp
that thought
that the ancient civilizations
of India
possessed incredible
flying technology,
yet you then had that other camp
that said this is crazy,
it's nonsense.
But something was going on
many, many, many, many thousands
of years ago,
and they presented evidence
and documented facts
that they had flying machines
that were capable of doing
incredible things.
How did they know this?
NARRATOR: Captain Bodas
is just the latest
in a long line
of researchers to suggest
that the ancient texts
contained actual information
about lost technology
pertaining to aerial vehicles,
often referred to in the texts
as "vimanas."
In 1895, a full
eight years before
the Wright Brothers successfully
launched their flying machine,
Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Talpade
tested an aircraft he fashioned
based solely on information
gleaned from
the ancient Indian writings.
JOHN BRANDENBURG:
Talpade, in India,
was a student of
the Vedic scriptures.
And he decided to try
and construct
one of the vimana flying craft
that were seen in the, um,
Vedic scriptures.
MOHAN:
The first aircraft of Talpade
was called, "Marutsakha,"
which means,
"friend of the wind."
He was able to fly this aircraft
in front of thousands of people
in Mumbai Beach.
TAYLOR: The legend has it
that he flew for,
like, 30 seconds at 1,500 feet.
The Wright brothers only went
120 feet for 12 seconds.
If this is true, that changes
aviation history dramatically.
But even more exciting
is that he based his design
on something written
thousands of years
before mankind even thought
flying was possible.
NARRATOR:
In 2017, Kavya Vaddadi,
an aircraft design engineer
in Delhi, India,
was able to re-create
the Marutsakha
as a digital 3D model utilizing
the same information contained
in the texts
that Talpade studied.
She shared her digital file
with aerospace systems engineer
Travis Taylor,
so he could 3D print it
in order to test
its aerodynamic properties
in a wind tunnel.
But just how would
this ancient design hold up
when put to the test?
NARRATOR: University of
California at Irvine.
April 2017.
Aerospace engineer Travis Taylor
has obtained a model
of an aircraft
whose design specifications
are based solely
on information gleaned
from ancient Indian texts
that are believed
to have been formally set
to writing in 500 BC.
He is going to subject it
to wind tunnel analysis
to determine if it is
a viable flying machine.
So explain to me what we've set
up here with that wind tunnel.
Okay, so this is our
aerospace vehicle model.
It's connected to this boom.
The armature has
a force gauge on it.
But we're gonna have airflow
go past it
at about 50 miles per hour or so.
Okay.
And then we're gonna measure
forces against it
to determine if, uh,
if it's gonna fly or not.
And so, what are the signs
that you're looking for
in order to determine
whether this is,
- in fact, aerodynamically sound?
- Right.
So we're gonna measure
the, uh, normal force.
And the normal force
is up or down.
Uh, if it starts to move up,
then that'll be exciting,
because it's actually
going to be rising
and that's how you get flight.
You know, when the airplane
turns up, and it starts to move,
it's because it's getting lift.
Uh, the other thing is,
I don't want to see it
going real bad side to side,
or real bad chatter up and down,
because that would mean
it's unstable.
All right. Well, let's do it.
Let's fire her up
and see what happens.
Yeah, let's do it.
(whirring)
- The flow's coming up to speed.
- Yep.
NARRATOR: While being subjected
to 50-mile-an-hour winds,
the craft exhibits
a slight lift upwards
yet remains relatively steady.
TAYLOR: No side-to-side wobble.
Okay.
NARRATOR: Sensors record the
measurements of various forces,
as well as torque and pitch,
to determine
just how aerodynamic
the body is.
It looks very stable.
All right.
So let's look at the results.
So what happened during the test
was the normal force,
which is where
we measure the lift,
it was positive between .03
and .06 pounds of force.
That means we were measuring lift.
Okay.
So our vehicle
in the wind tunnel experiment
was showing positive lift
like an aircraft would.
Did you expect these results
from a shape that's like that?
Well, the shape looks like
a lifting body to me.
But you never know until you
actually do the experiment.
And we have experimental results
now that says it is.
So that's the exciting part.
And-and what do you say
to anyone who questions
the idea that this information
has been taken
from a text that's at least
1,800 years old?
The only thing you can say is
we performed a good
scientific experiment.
And the results were
that the shape
made from those texts
is a viable
aerodynamic structure.
NARRATOR:
The aircraft model created
using details garnered from
the ancient Indian texts
has proven to be flight-worthy.
Is it possible that, by studying
the ancient Indian texts,
we may be able to recreate
advanced technology
that existed thousands
of years ago in India?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
that the texts
may also contain details
for advanced spacecraft.
Hindu scholars point out
that stories of space travel
can be found
throughout the pages
of the ancient Sanskrit texts.
There are even detailed accounts
of humans entering flying crafts
and being transported
to other solar systems.
MOHAN: In the ancient text
of Vishnu Purana,
Lord Vishnu decides
to take Dhruva,
a human being,
through an interstellar journey.
We know this because
it is specifically stated
that Dhruva
would be taken beyond
planets like Mercury, Venus,
and even beyond
some other stars.
DAVID CHILDRESS:
According to the text,
he went past
seven planetary systems
in a physical craft,
and eventually
he reached the solar system
and planet of Vishnu Loka,
the planet that Vishnu
is said to have come from.
So here we have the story
of extraterrestrials taking
a human to another solar system.
NARRATOR:
Although few details exist
of the craft Dhruva
was transported in,
scholars have noted that
highly specific descriptions
of space vehicles can be found
throughout the texts.
In 2014,
in an article
in the Journal of Engineering
and Innovative Technology
titled "Vedic Lon Engine,"
a team of aerospace scientists
posed the theory
that what is being described
in a 1,000-year-old text
called
the Samarangana Sutradhara
is a modern ion
mercury vortex engine
used for space travel.
TAYLOR: In the Samarangana
Sutradhara text,
there's a description
of an engine that uses mercury,
and the mercury swirls
in a vortex
and it uses the heat
from, perhaps, solar power
to create some type
of flying capability.
My thought on this is it sounds
a lot like an ion engine.
MARC RAYMAN: The concept for ion
engines has actually been around
for more than 100 years.
Now, the way it works
is xenon gas,
which is like helium or neon
but heavier,
is introduced
into a chamber here.
And it's ionized, which means
it's given an electric charge.
And once it has
an electric charge, a voltage
applied between this grid
and one just behind it
causes the xenon to shoot out
of the engine.
Well, the action of the xenon
going out this direction
causes a reaction
that pushes the spacecraft
in the other direction.
And that's how the ion thruster
propels the spacecraft.
You heat the ions up,
and then you accelerate them out
the back end of the spacecraft.
It puts out
a small amount of thrust,
but for a very long time.
And that's why ion engines
are uniquely perfect
for interspace travel.
NARRATOR: In 2007,
NASA launched
the Dawn spacecraft,
which used a conventional
multistage chemical rocket
to blast off from Earth,
but then switched
to an ion engine
for its journey
through deep space.
Crucial to that mission
was an ion thruster.
And it gets its energy
from solar panels.
So here you have
this solar-powered ion thruster
with this vortex
in the middle of it going out
to the asteroid belt,
and it's described
in Sanskrit texts.
NARRATOR:
If information detailing
previously lost technology
was purposely left
for humans to rediscover,
are we now sufficiently advanced
to successfully replicate it?
And if so, are there
any other developments beyond
ancient space travel
that scientists have been able
to exploit?
Coming up... *
NARRATOR: Mahabalipuram, India.
While at a local library
with fellow ancient astronaut
theorist Praveen Mohan,
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS gets
a firsthand look at early copies
of some of India's most
important ancient texts.
And now let me show you
the other book.
This is the Bhagavad Gita.
NARRATOR:
Among the most influential
is the Bhagavad Gita,
part of the 13,000-page epic
called the Mahabharata,
which contains
19 individual books.
Historians think this text
was written around 500 BC,
so this book is 2,500 years old.
- Okay.
- But according to "mythology,"
this was supposed to be written
at least 10,000 years ago.
(chuckling): Okay.
It's a very popular book,
and some people even say
atomic science is hidden
in this book.
Not just regular people,
but modern physicists.
So the argument can be made
that the knowledge of,
for example, the atom
is contained in a book -Mm-hmm.
Yes. -...That is at least
2,500 years old?
And some stories say
that it was given
by an otherworldly being. -Yes.
- Okay.
- Even Robert Oppenheimer,
who is the father
of atomic bomb,
uh, was fascinated by this book.
Mmhmm.
- Really? Wow.
- Yes.
TSOUKALOS:
Okay, that's interesting.
NARRATOR: Jornada
Del Muerto Desert, New Mexico.
July 16, 1945.
In the middle
of the barren Alamogordo Bombing
and Gunnery Range,
scientists detonate the first
man-made nuclear weapon.
The destruction was comparable
to no other weapon known to man.
The father of the atomic bomb
was J. Robert Oppenheimer,
the leader
of the Manhattan Project,
a secret government program
created
to develop such a weapon.
Oppenheimer, when he saw
the successful nuclear test
and realized what a terrible
weapon he was unleashing,
he quoted the Bhagavad Gita's
"I am become death,
the destroyer of worlds."
NARRATOR: Oppenheimer's interest
in ancient Sanskrit literature
began while he was a professor
at the University of California,
Berkeley
and was introduced to the texts
by renowned scholar
Arthur W. Ryder.
Under Ryder's tutelage,
Oppenheimer extensively studied
the Vedic scriptures
and became proficient
in Sanskrit.
According to his biographers,
he kept a hardcover of the
Bhagavad Gita on his bookshelf
and was known to give copies
away to his friends as gifts.
BRANDENBURG:
One of the ideas that's deep
within the Vedic scriptures,
the Bhagavad Gita,
is the idea of duty.
He felt it was his duty
to do this,
even though it would be
a terrible thing, he realized,
to develop
this new nuclear weapon.
So he believed
he was part of a cosmic cycle
and we had to do this
to advance.
Perhaps he knew that
by developing the atomic bomb,
we were actually reconnecting
with technologies
that we had been exposed to
many thousands of years before.
NARRATOR: One of the key ideas
found within the Indian texts
is the concept of the cyclical
nature of existence,
that once we complete
a cosmic cycle,
it just begins once more.
Oppenheimer himself came to see
that he was, in a sense,
fulfilling some ancient destiny
and that this weapon
could ultimately be used
to stop a major war,
which is exactly what happened.
It totally broke the momentum
of World War II.
In that sense, he was seeing
that he was, in some way,
fulfilling a destiny
that came to him
from a seemingly
supernatural source,
i.e. extraterrestrial gods
who influenced ancient India.
NARRATOR: If Oppenheimer's work
on the atomic bomb
was inspired
by the ancient Indian texts,
could this mean that similar
weapons actually existed
on Earth thousands of years ago?
Thar Desert.
Rajasthan, India.
1992.
Engineers conducting
soil sampling at a site
where a housing development
was to be built
discover a heavy layer of
radioactive ash under the soil.
Further examination reveals
the contamination stretches
across a three-square-mile area
of the desert.
MOHAN:
After cordoning off the area,
scientists unearthed a city
with completely demolished
buildings.
HENRY: Scientists have
discovered a radioactive ash
that they believe dates
to 8,000 to 12,000 years ago
that shows evidence of a nuclear
blast in ancient times.
This is very interesting
because the Sanskrit texts
describe exactly this type
of occurrence in this era
in ancient times.
NARRATOR: In the Ramayana,
one of the major
ancient Sanskrit epics,
a mighty weapon of the god
Brahma called the Brahmastra
is described as a weapon
of immense power
intended to rain down
destruction from above.
Brahma provided this weapon
to the hero Rama
as a last resort after all
conventional means of warfare
failed in his battle
against the demon king.
SHIMKHADA: The Brahmastra
is the deadliest weapon there is
in the history of humankind.
It is like a nuclear device,
uh, that can be detonated,
and then it will have
a very devastating effect.
Once it was fired, its effect
fell on a lot of animals,
and then they dropped dead.
And also, people started
losing their nails,
their hair,
and they could not breathe.
LAYNE LITTLE: Rama fires
the Brahmastra weapon
upon Dhrumatulya.
It is commonly accepted that
this is in Rajasthan,
in Pakistan.
It's the 19th-largest desert
in the world.
NARRATOR: Does the layer
of radioactive ash,
recently discovered
in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan,
provide proof that
the stories recorded
in the ancient scriptures
have merit?
NARRATOR: Nuclear warfare,
space travel, flying craft...
might there be greater truth
about our technological past
revealed in the ancient
Indian texts?
And if so,
are they simply a guide
to move us forward, as a warning
for mankind's impending fate?
NARRATOR: Ranakpur, India.
The Chaumukha Jain Temple.
Built in the 15th century AD,
this place of worship
is dedicated to the Jains' first
teacher god, Rishabhanatha,
who is credited with the task
of civilizing human beings
and teaching them writing,
mathematics,
science and agriculture.
Jainism is an ancient
Indian religion
that predates Hinduism.
Jains and Hindus hold
a similar belief system
relating to the cyclical nature
of the Universe, karma,
and reincarnation,
yet worship different gods.
For Jains, the quest for
knowledge is essential
for their spiritual liberation.
And the iconography of the
temple is meant to symbolize.
Rishabhanatha's attainment
of cosmic enlightenment.
MOHAN: The most uncanny feature
in the Temple of Ranakpur
is not on the ground,
it's not on the walls,
but it is on the ceiling.
The ceiling is almost identical
to images
of the Large Hadron Collider,
a particle accelerator
in Switzerland.
WILCOCK: If you look
at the carving on the ceiling,
you're seeing something that has
a curious radial structure.
It's circular.
There's bands within bands.
And then you have
all of these lines that go
towards the center.
Now, there is a
more-than-passing similarity
between the carving and what
we're actually seeing
in the Large Hadron Collider.
NARRATOR: The 17-mile-long
Large Hadron Collider,
or LHC, is the world's largest
and most powerful
particle accelerator.
It was created to smash
tiny protons together
at speeds of nearly
670 million miles per hour,
roughly the speed of light.
The total energy produced
by the collisions is believed
to reproduce similar states
to those that existed
moments after the Big Bang,
the event that many scientists
believe was responsible
for the creation of the cosmos.
By examining these collisions,
scientists can attempt to answer
the question of just how
the universe began.
BRANDENBURG:
The Hadron supercollider:
Its purpose is to duplicate,
basically,
conditions of the Big Bang,
when the universe
was first created.
But one of the concerns is
that since we're recreating
conditions like the Big Bang at
the beginning of the universe,
some of the things
running around
at the beginning of the universe
we don't want to encounter.
And this is a very
difficult thing,
to face so many unknowns.
NARRATOR: Work on this subatomic
realm, or quantum mechanics,
can be traced to two
scientific pioneers...
Austrian physicist
Erwin Schrodinger,
and German physicist
Werner Heisenberg.
According to biographers,
both Schrodinger and Heisenberg
were highly influenced
by the ancient Indian texts.
WILCOCK:
Heisenberg is on record saying
quantum theory will not look
so unusual to anyone
who is a student of the Vedanta,
the Hindu sacred scriptures.
Well, why would he say
something like that?
The Hindus had
a very interesting way
of looking at the world,
including this concept
of a quantum reality through
what they call "trutis,"
which appear to be magnificently
tiny particles that ultimately
make up all of physical reality
as we know it.
BRANDENBURG: It is fascinating
how these very old texts
are still relevant today,
and, in fact, may be largely
responsible for the progress
in quantum mechanics
in the early 20th century.
WILCOCK:
This suggests that the culture
that wrote those texts
had knowledge
of quantum mechanics.
The Hindu texts
in some ways mirrors,
or foreshadows,
things that will come later.
Perhaps these people were being
guided by extraterrestrials
to protect that knowledge,
so that in our time we would
look back at that
and notice the similarity.
And we have to look
at the possibility
that this is an endowment
that has been given to us
by these extraterrestrials
for a greater divine purpose.
The texts could serve
as a window into our future,
and a warning that if we don't
alter the course that we're on,
it could be catastrophic.
NARRATOR: If extraterrestrials
instructed our ancestors
to record lost advanced
technological knowledge
and principles,
was it meant to serve
as a guidebook
to our scientifically
enlightened age?
Or might it, instead,
be a warning
to prevent us from repeating
the mistakes of the past?
If so, what do the texts say
about where
mankind is headed next?
NARRATOR: New Delhi, India.
Scholars at the National
Mission of Manuscripts
set out to translate
and preserve
what they estimate to be
over four million
rare ancient texts related
to various disciplines,
including ancient science.
Many of these texts have been
preserved on palm leaves,
and are believed to be scattered
in obscure locations
throughout the subcontinent.
Currently, less than ten percent
of the ancient writings
of India have been published.
And no one is certain
what secrets lie hidden
in these remaining
undeciphered manuscripts.
Is it possible that
the road map for our future
is yet to be revealed
by studying
these ancient Indian texts?
BRANDENBURG:
These texts should be consulted
as we evolve into a world that
is full of so many unknowns,
and the Vedic scriptures are
a vast storehouse of knowledge.
And by not consulting them,
who knows...
We may be missing
something vital.
HENRY: We would be well served
to go back to the Hindu texts
and recognize that perhaps
we've been here before.
The Vedic text offers the key
to us to move forward.
Conversely, it could well be
that ignoring it
will be at our own peril,
and that we could, in fact,
face our end.
CHILDRESS: What I really think
is important here
is that we pay more attention
to these ancient texts,
and try to learn
what we can from them,
because this is the gods,
the extraterrestrials,
giving us this information.
NARRATOR:
Do the voices of the gods,
as written in the pages
of India's ancient texts,
really contain information
left for us to discover,
or do they convey knowledge
that we were meant to avoid?
For ancient astronaut theorists,
one fact is certain...
That mankind's
extraterrestrial past
provides the key to its future.
A future that will either see us
successfully avoid
the mistakes of our ancestors,
or warn us
of the deadly mistakes
we are destined...
to repeat.

This design has been taken
from a text that's at least
1,800 years old.
TRAVIS TAYLOR: Our vehicle
was showing positive lift,
like an aircraft would.
TSOUKALOS:
So the information contained
in the ancient texts
is indeed accurate.
PRAVEEN MOHAN:
Now, this is a vast medical text
and it's considered
the foundation
of traditional Indian medicine.
TSOUKALOS:
Oh, so this is the basis
for Ayurvedic medicine?
MOHAN:
Yes. This book was written
more than a 100 years
before Hippocrates,
the father of modern medicine.
Incredible.
There is information
about science,
technology, and medicine
preserved in ancient India.
Where did the ancestors
receive this information?
Aliens.
People from other planet.

NARRATOR: India.
Home to over 1.3 billion people.
It is the second most populous
nation in the world.
Although it is home
to some of mankind's
oldest civilizations,
India has, in recent years,
also undergone
rapid modernization.
The city of Bangalore,
for example,
is the headquarters
of literally thousands
of information technology
companies,
and has been ranked as
one of the most high-tech cities
in the world.
But these advancements
also coexist
with the country's
ancient origins.
Roughly 80%
of the Indian population
practices Hinduism.
And for the Hindu faithful,
their gods are not
mythological creatures,
but are real
flesh-and-blood beings
that have, at times,
been present here on Earth.
For the Indian people,
the basis of their religion
is essential
to the fabric of their lives.
JONATHAN YOUNG: Many
of the faithful, to this day,
see these accounts
not as fanciful, but as history.
They take it literally
that the gods
walked among human beings
and conveyed knowledge.
MOHAN: In the Hindu tradition,
these ancient gods
are not considered
just symbolic
or mythical beings.
They are considered
as flesh-and-blood beings
that came down from the sky
and existed in real life.
NARRATOR:
The foundation of Hinduism
is carefully preserved
in India's most ancient texts.
And according
to their traditions,
these texts are accounts
given directly
by the gods themselves,
and only transcribed by humans.
This collection
includes the Vedas,
or Hindu scriptures,
as well as other manuscripts
written in the early
Sanskrit language.
Vedic scholars suggest knowledge
pertaining to architecture,
science,
technology, weaponry,
and medicine
are preserved in meticulous
detail in these works.
DEEPAK SHIMKHADA:
The origins of the Vedic text
goes back to cosmic time.
They have been around
for thousands of thousands
of years.
It is believed
that the knowledge
came directly from gods.
DAVID WILCOCK: We are seeing
a handbook of the gods.
We are looking at an endowment
from some superior intelligence
that appears to have been given
to us as a very practical guide
in ways that benefit humankind
all across the board.
NARRATOR: But if the ancient
texts of India
are truly attributable
to the extraterrestrial gods,
just what information
do they contain?
Sirpur, India.
The Surang Tila Temple.
This structure,
which dates back
to the seventh century AD,
was recently unearthed
after being buried
by a powerful earthquake
that occurred
in the 11th century.
Although the rest of the area
was completely leveled,
the structure itself
remained largely intact.
Archaeologists suggest
that this is due to the advanced
construction techniques,
known as Ayurvedic
or Vedic architecture,
utilized by its builders.
The principles they used
are derived
from the ancient science
of design
that can be traced back
to the ancient Indian texts.
In March 2017,
researcher and ancient astronaut
theorist GIORGIO TSOUKALOS
traveled to India
to meet with archaeologist
Dr. Arun Sharma,
who headed the dig.
This is beautiful.
Mm-hmm.
Really?
Now, is this considered.
Ayurvedic architecture,
right here?
That's amazing. Huh.
Okay.
NARRATOR:
Although much of the site
has been renovated
using modern concrete,
blocks held together
by the Ayurvedic paste
can still be found.
It seems to be almost like a...
s-some type of glue.
NARRATOR:
The glue-like substance
is said to form a bond
that is at least 20 times
stronger than concrete.
But modern builders
have been unwilling
to entertain the notion
that such an ancient concoction
could be superior
to today's building materials.
Wow, look at this.
Beautiful.
NARRATOR:
The detailed instructions
for making this paste
can be found
in an ancient Indian text
known as the Mayamatam...
A manuscript dedicated
to construction techniques.
The information
contained within the document
is understood to have been
passed down to humans
from Mayasura,
the ancient king
of the demigods,
who was said to oversee
various construction projects
on Earth,
including cities in the sky.
This, right here?
NARRATOR: Curiously,
there is a more astounding
earthquake-proof feature
at the site
which indicates
that advanced knowledge
was used in its construction.
Located at key points
within the Surang Tila Temple
are several 80-foot long shafts
designed to form air pockets
that can dissipate the impact
of seismic events.
Yes, please.
All right.
Wow.
Oh, wow, this is big.
It's a huge book.
And-and this text
has been around
for 4,500 years?
In your opinion, where
did this knowledge come from?
Uh-huh.
And you think
that this knowledge
originated from the stars?
That's amazing.
NARRATOR:
According to the Hindu faithful,
the construction techniques used
at the Surang Tila Temple
are just one example
of advanced technology
detailed in the ancient
Sanskrit texts.
Other works are said
to contain information
far beyond the scope
of early man...
Perhaps even providing
concrete proof
of extraterrestrial activity
on Earth.
Coming up... NARRATOR:
The Indus Valley.
Northwest India and Pakistan.
June 2011.
Paleontologists discover
a 4,300-year-old skull
featuring multiple
drilled holes in it.
Remarkably, they conclude
these are signs that
brain surgery was performed.
And it even appears that
the operation was successful,
as the wound showed signs
of advanced healing.
NOORY: In ancient India,
they performed
incredible kinds of medicine
and surgical procedures
on people.
Things like
operating on the skull.
What's fascinating
about this is...
is this kind
of advanced medical knowledge
goes way back, way back.
And they were able
to use those techniques
to heal people.
NARRATOR: Vedic scholars
suggest that not only
were the ancient Hindus
able to perform brain surgery,
but other
advanced procedures as well.
And much of this
medical knowledge
was set to record
in a Sanskrit text
dating back to 800 BC,
known as the Sushruta Samhita.
In 2017 at a local library
in Mahabalipuram, India,
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS
meets with fellow
ancient astronaut theorist.
Praveen Mohan to take
a closer look at the text.
Now this is a, uh,
vast medical text
that contains information
about more than
11,000 illnesses.
Uh, it talks about
700 medicinal plants,
64 preparations
from mineral resources,
57 preparations
from animal resources,
and it's considered the
foundation of Ayurveda,
the traditional Indian medicine.
Oh, so this is the basis
for Ayurvedic medicine right here.
Yes, yes.
I was able to find a passage.
I thought you might find it,
- you know, interesting.
- Mm-hmm.
Right here.
Now you can see where it says
that surgical operations
are of eight types.
They are incising,
excising, scraping, puncturing,
probing, extracting,
secreting fluids,
and even suturing.
So imagine, we had suturing
2,600 years ago. -Mm-hmm.
And this book was written
more than a hundred years
before Hippocrates,
the father of modern medicine.
That is amazing. And how was
this information obtained?
Like, what's the story
behind this?
Well, the title Sushruta Samhita
means that the author Sushruta
is not really the author.
He did not write this book.
He got this information from
a character called Dhanvantari,
who was an otherworldly being.
NARRATOR:
Dhanvantari is believed
to be the physician to the gods
and the father
of Ayurvedic medicine.
SHIMKHADA: Dhanvantari himself
has a divine origin
associated with the churning
of the milky ocean.
The churning of the milk of sea
refers to, perhaps, uh,
the Milky Way.
Dhanvantari came out of that
and then he was
the god of medicine.
And he, then, gave this
knowledge of medicine
to human beings.
TSOUKALOS: Dhanvantari was said
to have originated
from the Milky Way.
And so, all of a sudden,
you have a connection
with this deity arriving
from the Milky Way.
Well, what more do you want?
The knowledge contained
in this document,
known as the Sushruta Samhita,
was brought here
by an extraterrestrial visitor.
NARRATOR:
Ayurvedic medicine is considered
one of the world's oldest and
most detailed healing sciences.
Is it possible that it was
really handed down to mankind
by alien sources?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
and suggest that other texts
clearly reveal
this extraterrestrial
connection.
Mumbai University.
Kalina, India.
January 2015.
The Indian Science Congress
presents talks on various
technical disciplines
to an audience of some of
India's top engineers.
Included in the list
of presentations
is a lecture on "Ancient Indian
Aviation Technology"
given by retired pilot
and flight instructor.
Captain Anand J. Bodas.
In his lecture, Captain Anand
Bodas told young engineers
that they should recreate what
is given in ancient Vedic texts,
because in the field
of aviation,
there are much more
advanced devices mentioned
than what we have today.
NOORY: This was a very
controversial talk
because you had one camp
that thought
that the ancient civilizations
of India
possessed incredible
flying technology,
yet you then had that other camp
that said this is crazy,
it's nonsense.
But something was going on
many, many, many, many thousands
of years ago,
and they presented evidence
and documented facts
that they had flying machines
that were capable of doing
incredible things.
How did they know this?
NARRATOR: Captain Bodas
is just the latest
in a long line
of researchers to suggest
that the ancient texts
contained actual information
about lost technology
pertaining to aerial vehicles,
often referred to in the texts
as "vimanas."
In 1895, a full
eight years before
the Wright Brothers successfully
launched their flying machine,
Sanskrit scholar Shivkar Talpade
tested an aircraft he fashioned
based solely on information
gleaned from
the ancient Indian writings.
JOHN BRANDENBURG:
Talpade, in India,
was a student of
the Vedic scriptures.
And he decided to try
and construct
one of the vimana flying craft
that were seen in the, um,
Vedic scriptures.
MOHAN:
The first aircraft of Talpade
was called, "Marutsakha,"
which means,
"friend of the wind."
He was able to fly this aircraft
in front of thousands of people
in Mumbai Beach.
TAYLOR: The legend has it
that he flew for,
like, 30 seconds at 1,500 feet.
The Wright brothers only went
120 feet for 12 seconds.
If this is true, that changes
aviation history dramatically.
But even more exciting
is that he based his design
on something written
thousands of years
before mankind even thought
flying was possible.
NARRATOR:
In 2017, Kavya Vaddadi,
an aircraft design engineer
in Delhi, India,
was able to re-create
the Marutsakha
as a digital 3D model utilizing
the same information contained
in the texts
that Talpade studied.
She shared her digital file
with aerospace systems engineer
Travis Taylor,
so he could 3D print it
in order to test
its aerodynamic properties
in a wind tunnel.
But just how would
this ancient design hold up
when put to the test?
NARRATOR: University of
California at Irvine.
April 2017.
Aerospace engineer Travis Taylor
has obtained a model
of an aircraft
whose design specifications
are based solely
on information gleaned
from ancient Indian texts
that are believed
to have been formally set
to writing in 500 BC.
He is going to subject it
to wind tunnel analysis
to determine if it is
a viable flying machine.
So explain to me what we've set
up here with that wind tunnel.
Okay, so this is our
aerospace vehicle model.
It's connected to this boom.
The armature has
a force gauge on it.
But we're gonna have airflow
go past it
at about 50 miles per hour or so.
Okay.
And then we're gonna measure
forces against it
to determine if, uh,
if it's gonna fly or not.
And so, what are the signs
that you're looking for
in order to determine
whether this is,
- in fact, aerodynamically sound?
- Right.
So we're gonna measure
the, uh, normal force.
And the normal force
is up or down.
Uh, if it starts to move up,
then that'll be exciting,
because it's actually
going to be rising
and that's how you get flight.
You know, when the airplane
turns up, and it starts to move,
it's because it's getting lift.
Uh, the other thing is,
I don't want to see it
going real bad side to side,
or real bad chatter up and down,
because that would mean
it's unstable.
All right. Well, let's do it.
Let's fire her up
and see what happens.
Yeah, let's do it.
(whirring)
- The flow's coming up to speed.
- Yep.
NARRATOR: While being subjected
to 50-mile-an-hour winds,
the craft exhibits
a slight lift upwards
yet remains relatively steady.
TAYLOR: No side-to-side wobble.
Okay.
NARRATOR: Sensors record the
measurements of various forces,
as well as torque and pitch,
to determine
just how aerodynamic
the body is.
It looks very stable.
All right.
So let's look at the results.
So what happened during the test
was the normal force,
which is where
we measure the lift,
it was positive between .03
and .06 pounds of force.
That means we were measuring lift.
Okay.
So our vehicle
in the wind tunnel experiment
was showing positive lift
like an aircraft would.
Did you expect these results
from a shape that's like that?
Well, the shape looks like
a lifting body to me.
But you never know until you
actually do the experiment.
And we have experimental results
now that says it is.
So that's the exciting part.
And-and what do you say
to anyone who questions
the idea that this information
has been taken
from a text that's at least
1,800 years old?
The only thing you can say is
we performed a good
scientific experiment.
And the results were
that the shape
made from those texts
is a viable
aerodynamic structure.
NARRATOR:
The aircraft model created
using details garnered from
the ancient Indian texts
has proven to be flight-worthy.
Is it possible that, by studying
the ancient Indian texts,
we may be able to recreate
advanced technology
that existed thousands
of years ago in India?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
that the texts
may also contain details
for advanced spacecraft.
Hindu scholars point out
that stories of space travel
can be found
throughout the pages
of the ancient Sanskrit texts.
There are even detailed accounts
of humans entering flying crafts
and being transported
to other solar systems.
MOHAN: In the ancient text
of Vishnu Purana,
Lord Vishnu decides
to take Dhruva,
a human being,
through an interstellar journey.
We know this because
it is specifically stated
that Dhruva
would be taken beyond
planets like Mercury, Venus,
and even beyond
some other stars.
DAVID CHILDRESS:
According to the text,
he went past
seven planetary systems
in a physical craft,
and eventually
he reached the solar system
and planet of Vishnu Loka,
the planet that Vishnu
is said to have come from.
So here we have the story
of extraterrestrials taking
a human to another solar system.
NARRATOR:
Although few details exist
of the craft Dhruva
was transported in,
scholars have noted that
highly specific descriptions
of space vehicles can be found
throughout the texts.
In 2014,
in an article
in the Journal of Engineering
and Innovative Technology
titled "Vedic Lon Engine,"
a team of aerospace scientists
posed the theory
that what is being described
in a 1,000-year-old text
called
the Samarangana Sutradhara
is a modern ion
mercury vortex engine
used for space travel.
TAYLOR: In the Samarangana
Sutradhara text,
there's a description
of an engine that uses mercury,
and the mercury swirls
in a vortex
and it uses the heat
from, perhaps, solar power
to create some type
of flying capability.
My thought on this is it sounds
a lot like an ion engine.
MARC RAYMAN: The concept for ion
engines has actually been around
for more than 100 years.
Now, the way it works
is xenon gas,
which is like helium or neon
but heavier,
is introduced
into a chamber here.
And it's ionized, which means
it's given an electric charge.
And once it has
an electric charge, a voltage
applied between this grid
and one just behind it
causes the xenon to shoot out
of the engine.
Well, the action of the xenon
going out this direction
causes a reaction
that pushes the spacecraft
in the other direction.
And that's how the ion thruster
propels the spacecraft.
You heat the ions up,
and then you accelerate them out
the back end of the spacecraft.
It puts out
a small amount of thrust,
but for a very long time.
And that's why ion engines
are uniquely perfect
for interspace travel.
NARRATOR: In 2007,
NASA launched
the Dawn spacecraft,
which used a conventional
multistage chemical rocket
to blast off from Earth,
but then switched
to an ion engine
for its journey
through deep space.
Crucial to that mission
was an ion thruster.
And it gets its energy
from solar panels.
So here you have
this solar-powered ion thruster
with this vortex
in the middle of it going out
to the asteroid belt,
and it's described
in Sanskrit texts.
NARRATOR:
If information detailing
previously lost technology
was purposely left
for humans to rediscover,
are we now sufficiently advanced
to successfully replicate it?
And if so, are there
any other developments beyond
ancient space travel
that scientists have been able
to exploit?
Coming up... *
NARRATOR: Mahabalipuram, India.
While at a local library
with fellow ancient astronaut
theorist Praveen Mohan,
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS gets
a firsthand look at early copies
of some of India's most
important ancient texts.
And now let me show you
the other book.
This is the Bhagavad Gita.
NARRATOR:
Among the most influential
is the Bhagavad Gita,
part of the 13,000-page epic
called the Mahabharata,
which contains
19 individual books.
Historians think this text
was written around 500 BC,
so this book is 2,500 years old.
- Okay.
- But according to "mythology,"
this was supposed to be written
at least 10,000 years ago.
(chuckling): Okay.
It's a very popular book,
and some people even say
atomic science is hidden
in this book.
Not just regular people,
but modern physicists.
So the argument can be made
that the knowledge of,
for example, the atom
is contained in a book -Mm-hmm.
Yes. -...That is at least
2,500 years old?
And some stories say
that it was given
by an otherworldly being. -Yes.
- Okay.
- Even Robert Oppenheimer,
who is the father
of atomic bomb,
uh, was fascinated by this book.
Mmhmm.
- Really? Wow.
- Yes.
TSOUKALOS:
Okay, that's interesting.
NARRATOR: Jornada
Del Muerto Desert, New Mexico.
July 16, 1945.
In the middle
of the barren Alamogordo Bombing
and Gunnery Range,
scientists detonate the first
man-made nuclear weapon.
The destruction was comparable
to no other weapon known to man.
The father of the atomic bomb
was J. Robert Oppenheimer,
the leader
of the Manhattan Project,
a secret government program
created
to develop such a weapon.
Oppenheimer, when he saw
the successful nuclear test
and realized what a terrible
weapon he was unleashing,
he quoted the Bhagavad Gita's
"I am become death,
the destroyer of worlds."
NARRATOR: Oppenheimer's interest
in ancient Sanskrit literature
began while he was a professor
at the University of California,
Berkeley
and was introduced to the texts
by renowned scholar
Arthur W. Ryder.
Under Ryder's tutelage,
Oppenheimer extensively studied
the Vedic scriptures
and became proficient
in Sanskrit.
According to his biographers,
he kept a hardcover of the
Bhagavad Gita on his bookshelf
and was known to give copies
away to his friends as gifts.
BRANDENBURG:
One of the ideas that's deep
within the Vedic scriptures,
the Bhagavad Gita,
is the idea of duty.
He felt it was his duty
to do this,
even though it would be
a terrible thing, he realized,
to develop
this new nuclear weapon.
So he believed
he was part of a cosmic cycle
and we had to do this
to advance.
Perhaps he knew that
by developing the atomic bomb,
we were actually reconnecting
with technologies
that we had been exposed to
many thousands of years before.
NARRATOR: One of the key ideas
found within the Indian texts
is the concept of the cyclical
nature of existence,
that once we complete
a cosmic cycle,
it just begins once more.
Oppenheimer himself came to see
that he was, in a sense,
fulfilling some ancient destiny
and that this weapon
could ultimately be used
to stop a major war,
which is exactly what happened.
It totally broke the momentum
of World War II.
In that sense, he was seeing
that he was, in some way,
fulfilling a destiny
that came to him
from a seemingly
supernatural source,
i.e. extraterrestrial gods
who influenced ancient India.
NARRATOR: If Oppenheimer's work
on the atomic bomb
was inspired
by the ancient Indian texts,
could this mean that similar
weapons actually existed
on Earth thousands of years ago?
Thar Desert.
Rajasthan, India.
1992.
Engineers conducting
soil sampling at a site
where a housing development
was to be built
discover a heavy layer of
radioactive ash under the soil.
Further examination reveals
the contamination stretches
across a three-square-mile area
of the desert.
MOHAN:
After cordoning off the area,
scientists unearthed a city
with completely demolished
buildings.
HENRY: Scientists have
discovered a radioactive ash
that they believe dates
to 8,000 to 12,000 years ago
that shows evidence of a nuclear
blast in ancient times.
This is very interesting
because the Sanskrit texts
describe exactly this type
of occurrence in this era
in ancient times.
NARRATOR: In the Ramayana,
one of the major
ancient Sanskrit epics,
a mighty weapon of the god
Brahma called the Brahmastra
is described as a weapon
of immense power
intended to rain down
destruction from above.
Brahma provided this weapon
to the hero Rama
as a last resort after all
conventional means of warfare
failed in his battle
against the demon king.
SHIMKHADA: The Brahmastra
is the deadliest weapon there is
in the history of humankind.
It is like a nuclear device,
uh, that can be detonated,
and then it will have
a very devastating effect.
Once it was fired, its effect
fell on a lot of animals,
and then they dropped dead.
And also, people started
losing their nails,
their hair,
and they could not breathe.
LAYNE LITTLE: Rama fires
the Brahmastra weapon
upon Dhrumatulya.
It is commonly accepted that
this is in Rajasthan,
in Pakistan.
It's the 19th-largest desert
in the world.
NARRATOR: Does the layer
of radioactive ash,
recently discovered
in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan,
provide proof that
the stories recorded
in the ancient scriptures
have merit?
NARRATOR: Nuclear warfare,
space travel, flying craft...
might there be greater truth
about our technological past
revealed in the ancient
Indian texts?
And if so,
are they simply a guide
to move us forward, as a warning
for mankind's impending fate?
NARRATOR: Ranakpur, India.
The Chaumukha Jain Temple.
Built in the 15th century AD,
this place of worship
is dedicated to the Jains' first
teacher god, Rishabhanatha,
who is credited with the task
of civilizing human beings
and teaching them writing,
mathematics,
science and agriculture.
Jainism is an ancient
Indian religion
that predates Hinduism.
Jains and Hindus hold
a similar belief system
relating to the cyclical nature
of the Universe, karma,
and reincarnation,
yet worship different gods.
For Jains, the quest for
knowledge is essential
for their spiritual liberation.
And the iconography of the
temple is meant to symbolize.
Rishabhanatha's attainment
of cosmic enlightenment.
MOHAN: The most uncanny feature
in the Temple of Ranakpur
is not on the ground,
it's not on the walls,
but it is on the ceiling.
The ceiling is almost identical
to images
of the Large Hadron Collider,
a particle accelerator
in Switzerland.
WILCOCK: If you look
at the carving on the ceiling,
you're seeing something that has
a curious radial structure.
It's circular.
There's bands within bands.
And then you have
all of these lines that go
towards the center.
Now, there is a
more-than-passing similarity
between the carving and what
we're actually seeing
in the Large Hadron Collider.
NARRATOR: The 17-mile-long
Large Hadron Collider,
or LHC, is the world's largest
and most powerful
particle accelerator.
It was created to smash
tiny protons together
at speeds of nearly
670 million miles per hour,
roughly the speed of light.
The total energy produced
by the collisions is believed
to reproduce similar states
to those that existed
moments after the Big Bang,
the event that many scientists
believe was responsible
for the creation of the cosmos.
By examining these collisions,
scientists can attempt to answer
the question of just how
the universe began.
BRANDENBURG:
The Hadron supercollider:
Its purpose is to duplicate,
basically,
conditions of the Big Bang,
when the universe
was first created.
But one of the concerns is
that since we're recreating
conditions like the Big Bang at
the beginning of the universe,
some of the things
running around
at the beginning of the universe
we don't want to encounter.
And this is a very
difficult thing,
to face so many unknowns.
NARRATOR: Work on this subatomic
realm, or quantum mechanics,
can be traced to two
scientific pioneers...
Austrian physicist
Erwin Schrodinger,
and German physicist
Werner Heisenberg.
According to biographers,
both Schrodinger and Heisenberg
were highly influenced
by the ancient Indian texts.
WILCOCK:
Heisenberg is on record saying
quantum theory will not look
so unusual to anyone
who is a student of the Vedanta,
the Hindu sacred scriptures.
Well, why would he say
something like that?
The Hindus had
a very interesting way
of looking at the world,
including this concept
of a quantum reality through
what they call "trutis,"
which appear to be magnificently
tiny particles that ultimately
make up all of physical reality
as we know it.
BRANDENBURG: It is fascinating
how these very old texts
are still relevant today,
and, in fact, may be largely
responsible for the progress
in quantum mechanics
in the early 20th century.
WILCOCK:
This suggests that the culture
that wrote those texts
had knowledge
of quantum mechanics.
The Hindu texts
in some ways mirrors,
or foreshadows,
things that will come later.
Perhaps these people were being
guided by extraterrestrials
to protect that knowledge,
so that in our time we would
look back at that
and notice the similarity.
And we have to look
at the possibility
that this is an endowment
that has been given to us
by these extraterrestrials
for a greater divine purpose.
The texts could serve
as a window into our future,
and a warning that if we don't
alter the course that we're on,
it could be catastrophic.
NARRATOR: If extraterrestrials
instructed our ancestors
to record lost advanced
technological knowledge
and principles,
was it meant to serve
as a guidebook
to our scientifically
enlightened age?
Or might it, instead,
be a warning
to prevent us from repeating
the mistakes of the past?
If so, what do the texts say
about where
mankind is headed next?
NARRATOR: New Delhi, India.
Scholars at the National
Mission of Manuscripts
set out to translate
and preserve
what they estimate to be
over four million
rare ancient texts related
to various disciplines,
including ancient science.
Many of these texts have been
preserved on palm leaves,
and are believed to be scattered
in obscure locations
throughout the subcontinent.
Currently, less than ten percent
of the ancient writings
of India have been published.
And no one is certain
what secrets lie hidden
in these remaining
undeciphered manuscripts.
Is it possible that
the road map for our future
is yet to be revealed
by studying
these ancient Indian texts?
BRANDENBURG:
These texts should be consulted
as we evolve into a world that
is full of so many unknowns,
and the Vedic scriptures are
a vast storehouse of knowledge.
And by not consulting them,
who knows...
We may be missing
something vital.
HENRY: We would be well served
to go back to the Hindu texts
and recognize that perhaps
we've been here before.
The Vedic text offers the key
to us to move forward.
Conversely, it could well be
that ignoring it
will be at our own peril,
and that we could, in fact,
face our end.
CHILDRESS: What I really think
is important here
is that we pay more attention
to these ancient texts,
and try to learn
what we can from them,
because this is the gods,
the extraterrestrials,
giving us this information.
NARRATOR:
Do the voices of the gods,
as written in the pages
of India's ancient texts,
really contain information
left for us to discover,
or do they convey knowledge
that we were meant to avoid?
For ancient astronaut theorists,
one fact is certain...
That mankind's
extraterrestrial past
provides the key to its future.
A future that will either see us
successfully avoid
the mistakes of our ancestors,
or warn us
of the deadly mistakes
we are destined...
to repeat.
