Ancient Aliens

Every action is being monitored.

There are millions and millions of cameras everywhere you go.

Every conversation is recorded.

Cell phones are actually sending information...

about who we're communicating with on a daily basis.

And every secret is exposed.

We are headed into this direction...

where, with a stroke of a key...

you can figure out anything you want about a person.

As technology advances...

information about everything and everyone...

is becoming more accessible than ever before.

But in this age of unlimited access...

should we be asking not only who is watching us...

but from where?

These “Watchers,” who are extraterrestrials...

were all over the Earth in ancient times.

Watching people on Earth, watching civilization grow...

and you have to wonder, isn't this still happening today?

Millions of people around the world...

believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

And if so, might they be among us today?

June 5, 2013.

The British daily newspaper, The Guardian reveals that classified documents...

from the United States National Security Agency have been leaked.

Among them is an order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court...

requiring Verizon to hand over metadata...

from millions of Americans' phone calls to the FBI and NSA.

Four days later, Edward Snowden...

a former cyber-security expert for the Central Intelligence Agency...

comes forward lo identify himself as the source of the leak.

When asked to explain his actions, Snowden states...

“I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards.

I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded.”

The NSA is the National Security Agency...

or, as some people call it, the National Spying Agency...

which is in control of monitoring...

the communication systems throughout the world.

Every form of electronic communication...

supposedly for the purposes of national security...

to identify and neutralize any threats to America.

One of the documents that Edward Snowden released was about a Project Mystic...

which has the capability to record the actual audio...

of every conversation in an entire country, if not the planet.

Technology is really interesting...

as it enhances our life in so many ways.

But with each of those enhancements...

there's also something potentially taken away, depending on how you see it.

For example, our privacy is changing, or is actually getting reduced almost daily.

We've never experienced a society...

where there are so many microphones...

millions and millions of cameras everywhere you go.

We are moving our entire lives...

into what is known as the Cloud.

We are headed into this direction where...

with a stroke of a key...

you can figure out anything you want about a person.

As technology continues to advance...

at an ever-increasing rate...

we gain greater access to information both from and about each other...

becoming interconnected unlike any other time in our history.

There are those who believe that this evolution of technology...

is not entirely of our own making.

But that we have been guided by visitors that first came to Earth...

thousands of years ago.

From the perspective that I look at it all is that a long time ago...

extraterrestrials provided the basic tools, the basic knowledge...

with the idea that ultimately...

we would turn or become the society that we are today.

So is it possible that we are still being observed?

And the answer is a resounding “yes.”

Ancient astronaut theorists contend...

that it is by extraterrestrial design...

that we have become so technologically interconnected...

and that we are being watched not only by agencies of the government...

but by beings from beyond our world.

They also claim that they set us on this course in the ancient past...

and that we can find evidence of their existence...

in the stories of a group of ancient aliens...

known as the “Watchers.”

In the fourth chapter of the Hebrew Bible's Book of Daniel...

the Watchers are described as a group of divine overseers...

later associated with angels.

The Watchers are essentially messengers...

and so this is why many scholars understand the Watchers...

to be a class of angels, since angels were understood to be messengers in the Bible.

They're tasked with managing the Earth and watching over humans.

And some of these are said to be good Watchers.

They do their jobs dutifully.

And others are said to be bad Watchers.

it is said about the Watchers...

that nothing happens on Earth...

that is not ordained by their hand and executed by their agents.

Who are they? What are they?

Well, Daniel doesn't necessarily go into greater detail.

But there were numerous other texts...

that teach more about that which is recorded in the biblical books.

One of the most famous, of course, is the Book of Enoch.

The Book of Enoch...

containing the firsthand account of the great-grandfather of Noah...

was stricken from the Bible's Old Testament...

at the Council of Laodicea in the fourth century AD.

In the third book of this apocryphal text...

Enoch says an angel known as a “Watcher”...

took him aboard a fiery chariot that ascended to heaven.

Enoch is brought up into outer space, into heaven.

It's fascinatingly detailed...

and the reports of crystal walls...

with light coming out of them and crystal rooms...

sounds like someone with primitive language skills...

trying to explain going into a super high-fidelity...

science-fiction reality.

In many ways, when you read the Book of Enoch...

he is an abductee by extraterrestrials...

and they're taking him into a spaceship, they're showing him the Earth...

they're giving him special instructions.

The Book Of Enoch also states...

that 200 Watchers descended to Earth...

to oversee humankind and aid in our advancement.

The Watchers were said to have taught mankind...

many different arts and sciences...

that had previously only been known to the angels of heaven.

And these included astronomy...

metrology...

the use of weapons.

Enoch is talking about...

flesh-and-blood beings who came...

saw potential for mankind and imparted knowledge.

Those are who the Watchers were.

Could it be that the Watchers described in the Book of Enoch...

are extraterrestrials that came to Earth...

and taught early humans in the distant past?

Did they plant the seeds of knowledge...

that would lead us to this point in our technological evolution?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...

and suggest that evidence for this...

can be found in every corner of the world.

Around the world, we find stories...

that are strikingly similar to that of the Watchers coming to Earth...

and giving humanity forbidden knowledge, especially the secrets of heaven.

Inca legend states that the god Viracocha...

created humans and taught them astronomy...

agriculture and other advanced ans.

The Maya civilization believed their supreme god Kukulkan...

taught humans writing, mathematics and science.

And in ancient Chinese legend, the divine ruler Huang Di...

introduced numerous advancements...

such as the wheel, weaving and writing.

In Egypt, you have the god Osiris...

revealing the wisdom to mortal kind...

on how they could construct civilization.

And you find this again and again, um, within the Eurasian continent...

in Africa, but also obviously within Southwest Asia.

You have the stories of the Anunnaki.

The stories of the Anunnaki or the Watchers...

or the gods in the Greek pantheon or any of the ancient gods...

were based on physical visitations.

They are all the same group, the same extraterrestrials.

They just have received different names among the tribes and among the continents.

If extraterrestrials really did come here to Earth to assist humanity...

what happened to them?

Perhaps the answer can be found with one of the ancient world's...

most powerful secret societies, which still exists today.

The Netherlands.

March 24, 2014.

Fifty-eight world leaders gather at the World Forum in The Hague...

for the third biannual Nuclear Security Summit.

In the center of the room is a giant spinning hologram of a pyramid...

with three smaller upside-down pyramids inside it.

This symbol, which is also worn as a pin by the delegates...

is the summit's official logo.

But there are some who claim it represents something else-

the all-seeing eye of the Illuminati.

Conspiracy theorists suggest that this centuries-old secret society...

is alive and well in the 21st century...

as evidenced by symbols flashed by celebrities...

industry moguls and even heads of state.

The modern-day Illuminati was organized by Adam Weishaupt in Germany.

And he formulated plans so that his group could infiltrate all the key powers of society...

the political sphere, the banking sphere, the media sphere back in the late 1700s.

When we're talking about the Illuminati today...

we're talking about, essentially, the most powerful secret society.

These are the people that pull the strings from behind the scenes.

Is this just paranoia...

or might the Illuminati still be around today...

embedded in the highest levels of society?

And if so, what is their agenda?

Some say the answer can be found with a much older secret society...

which may have been the precursor to the Illuminati, the Knights Templar.

This band of Warrior monks was formed in 7778 AD...

to protect pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem during the Crusades.

But many claim that their true purpose...

was to find lost religious relics hidden at the Temple Mount.

And during their time in Jerusalem...

they rose from relative obscurity...

to being the most powerful order of the Crusades.

So far-reaching was their influence...

that it became widely rumored they were in league with demons.
