Ancient Aliens

A civilization suddenly destroyed.

I think they possessed incredible technology...

and then something happened.

Centuries of knowledge wiped out forever.

When these books were all destroyed...

it was a way of setting the knowledge back to zero.

And the world's most powerful weapons...

inexplicably taken off-line.

We were being sent a message. “We are watching.”

Is it possible that extraterrestrials have intervened...

at key moments in our history to manipulate our progress?

And if so, what is their ultimate goal?

There are extraterrestrials that want to see humanity evolve and grow...

and another group that wants us destroyed.

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...

is the advancement of mankind determined by an alien agenda?

Washington, DC.

2013.

At the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure...

six former members of the United States Congress...

listened to testimony...

from former high-ranking government and military officials...

along with a variety of scientists and researchers...

about extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.

One of the speakers was former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer.

The American people and the people of the world have a right to know.

UFOs are as real as the airplanes flying overhead.

We live in a cosmos teaming with life.

To have a former defense minister and deputy prime minister...

come out and say that the UFO phenomenon is real...

and that we're being visited and that there's a government cover-up...

is in of itself sensational.

And he also expressed the view...

that some alien civilizations are concerned about humanity...

and do not want to share technology with the human race...

for fear that we are not ready for it, that we'll abuse that technology.

We are, after all, a race that has used atomic bombs on our own people.

Other distinguished speakers at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure...

included nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman...

retired air force captain, Robert Salas...

and a former official for the Federal Aviation Administration, John Callahan...

all of whom corroborated Paul Hellyer's assertion...

that we are being visited by otherworldly beings.

They also claim that these visitors have an interest...

in our technological advancements...

especially when it comes to nuclear weapons.

These objects know in great detail how our missiles operate.

They can shut down our missiles at any time.

If you release that information to the public...

what do you say then about, urn, you know...

what kind of defense do we have against these things?

Could the UFO phenomenon be real?

And is it possible that extraterrestrials have been monitoring...

and perhaps even interfering...

with the technological advancement of mankind?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...

and suggest that the earliest and perhaps strongest evidence of this...

can be found in the biblical story of the Tower of Babel.

According to the Book of Genesis...

the Tower of Babel was built in Mesopotamia after the Great Flood.

Some accounts suggest it reached nearly 30 stories, or 300 feet tall.

It was described as a bridge between heaven and earth...

built by a unified people.

In the Book of Genesis, chapter 11...

it says, “In the beginning there was only one language and few words.”

And then a group of people got together...

and decided that things could be improved.

They learned how to make bricks...

and this meant they could build buildings.

Someone got the idea of building a tower-

a tower to heaven to make a name for ourselves.

Well, this starts to become hubris, where you start challenging the gods.

This is a key idea-

a certain kind of arrogance that is starting to think that you are a god...

and so as the tower lifts up, God is annoyed.

The powers up in the sky thought, “Uh-huh.

We cannot let them succeed with this...

because if they succeed in doing this, who knows what they'll do next?”

God comes down and says, “Wow, they can actually accomplish this feat.

They can actually build a tower up into the heavens.

So let's disperse their language...

and then they can't communicate and then they can't build this tower.”

Biblical scholars contend...

that the story merely attempts to offer an explanation...

for the various languages on Earth.

But ancient astronaut theorists suggest...

the biblical account may actually reveal a greater truth...

about extraterrestrial interest in the technological progress of mankind.

From the other literature that we have peripheral to the Bible...

a much deeper story is told.

What was this tower?

According to this ancient source...

this ancient technology that they discovered was to reach to the heavens.

When you look at the story of the Tower of Babel...

it's essentially a story of mankind developing technology...

and being like the gods, being like our extraterrestrial creators.

And therefore mankind was, in a sense...

kept from reaching a technological level.

The word Babel means “gate to God”...

and some believe that the gate to God was, in fact, a star gate-

a ladder, tower or stairway that reached into the heavens.

And so when God saw that humankind were building a star gate...

this was too much.

Well, what happened next?

Powers that be watched. They observed.

They spoke to one another saying...

“We have to descend to the Earth...

to bring an assault upon the builders of the Tower.”

What kind of an assault?

The Biblical text is very clear.

They touched the minds of the people...

and corrupted their spirit of unity.

The Tower of Babel story really relates to a decision...

that the so-called gods had made.

Human beings were not only supposed to speak different languages.

They were also supposed to fight with each other.

They were supposed to come into conflict with each other.

And as long as they're squabbling with each other...

they're not gonna unite and fight against you.

I believe whoever got involved realized...

these human beings are coming along pretty darned fast.

We got to slow this down a little bit, and that's what they did.

Is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest...

that otherworldly beings have been carefully watching the advancements of humans...

and have intervened...

creating barriers as a way to keep mankind from obtaining powerful technology?

Perhaps further clues can be found...

by examining the remnants of an ancient civilization...

that appears to have been destroyed by a massive explosion.

Sindh Province, Pakistan.

1922.

An officer of the Archaeological Survey of India...

is led by a Buddhist monk...

to an area believed to have been a religious monument.

But under the mounds of dirt...

archaeologists find instead an ancient Indus Valley city...

dating back to 2000 BC.

It is called Mohenjo-daro, or “mound of the dead.”

And it is one of the oldest civilizations discovered in the world.

Mohenjo-daro was very advanced for that time.

They had sanitation.

They had all kinds of good things going.

And they had a lot of trade going with Mesopotamia.

The city of Mohenjo-daro rivaled the ancient civilizations...

in Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Archaeologists believe that over 35,000 people once occupied the city.

However, only 43 skeletons have been discovered at the site.

There are many theories surrounding the mysterious disappearance...

of the Indus people from Mohenjo-daro.

In 1977, British researcher David Davenport...

discovered that part of the archaeological site showed evidence...

of having been destroyed by an extremely powerful explosion.

Scholars claim that several calcified skeletons found at the site...

suggest they suffered an instantaneous death.

At Mohenjo-Daro, they found bodies arm in arm...

skeletons, arm in arm, that had been vitrified-virtually vitrified.

For years, restricted access to the site...

has prevented scientists from analyzing the vitrified ruins.

But in 2014, mineralogist Dr. Sam Iyengar...

was able to obtain a piece of fused pottery from Mohenjo-daro...

and put it through a series of tests.

When I did the elemental analysis...

it showed me that the Mohenjo-daro rock...

contained mostly silicon, aluminum, with some calcium and potassium.

So my thought was maybe it could be some type of a clay...

till I did the X-ray diffraction.

X-ray diffraction is able to determine...

exactly how a material was formed.

When I did the X-ray powder diffraction...

this is the pattern I got.

And you can see some crystalline peaks here...

along with an amorphous hump...

which usually results from a glassy phase in the rock.

The composition is very similar to volcanic rock.

The only way the clay can be converted into something, which we saw...

is subjecting the clays to a very, very high temperature.

I am talking 4,000 to 5,000-degree Fahrenheit.

That is not something a early civilization can do intentionally.

It has to be something supernatural.

Could this pottery sample...

which shows irrefutable evidence of having been subjected to extreme heat...

be definitive evidence...

that Mohenjo-daro really was the site of some type of powerful explosion...

in the ancient past?

David Davenport and other researchers of India's ancient Vedic texts...

have suggested that this is the case...

and that Mohenjo-daro may in fact be the kingdom of Lanka-

a city whose destruction is detailed...

in the Indian epic known as the Ramayana.

In the Ramayana it is described...

that the god Vishnu decides the leader of Lanka-

a modal named Ravana- has grown too powerful.

Vishnu takes the human form of Rama and does battle with Ravana...

who has become like the gods himself.

Ravana was a very formidable enemy.

In fact, most of his power, it was acquired from god Shiva himself...
