"It is a marker of a change into a new age." "NARRATOR:" "TheMaya civilization, established as early as 2000 BC, produced highly advanced architecture, agriculture, mathematics and astronomy." "But ancient astronaut theorists believe the amazing accomplishments of the Maya may be due, in part, to contact with early extraterrestrials."

"GIORGIOA.TSOUKALOS:" "Scholars agree upon one date when the calendar allegedly started, and that was the 11th of August, 3114 BC." "In 3114 BC, the Maya did not even exist, so what compelled them to start their calendar in 3114 BC?" "According to the Chilam Balam book, which is the Book of the" "Jaguar Priests, at that time, the road to the stars descended from the sky, and the 13 and nine gods came to Earth." "Right there, we have a direct reference to someone that has arrived from outer space." "BRAMLEY:" "TheMayanswereone of the civilizations that reported a very strong extraterrestrial presence." "Their alien gods were very much involved in their society and their sciences." "The thought here is that maybe this is a prophecy that was put there by the aliens, through the Mayans, in this calendar-- that the world is going to end in the year 2012." "NARRATOR:" "Apocalypse." "Armageddon." "The End of Days." "Embedded in numerous ancient cultures and religions around the world is the idea that civilization as we know it will come to a tumultuous end."

"In Judeo-Christian and Islamic tradition, there was an idea that there will be some kind of final warfare when God defeats" "Satan once and for all."

"And it really comes down to, at its simplest level, is how much energy is put into the ocean at the point that generates the tidal wave." "And the water gets displaced, and it actually forms a wave that can be very coherent and travel for large distances, and will eventually hit the shore somewhere." "NARRATOR:" "Butjustdays before the disaster, several eyewitnesses reported seeing strange unidentified flying objects to the India Daily newspaper." "BRAMLEY:" "Peoplewere reporting seeing bright lights in the sky prior to and during that tsunami." "Scientists think that that's just maybe the tectonic plates are rubbing each other, and that there's so much friction that they're giving off a glow." "NARRATOR:" "Knownas  earthquake lights, mainstream scientists have been studying these phenomena since they were first photographed in Japan in the 1960s." "But although there are many theories as to their cause, there has been, as yet, no viable explanation." "COPPENS:" "Whatis becoming very apparent is that UFO activity and tectonic activity go hand in hand." "Now, there are an awful lot of questions to be asked here and science needs to answer an awful lot of them." "The central question is this:" "Is this UFO phenomenon just a byproduct of the tectonic activity?" "NARRATOR:" "Iceland." "April, 2010." "One of the country's largest volcanoes erupts for the first time in nearly two centuries." "In the aftermath of the blast," "Sky News captured footage of an unusual V-shaped flying object amongst the plume of smoke and ash." "COPPENS:" "Anawfullot of video material was taken of this volcanic eruption." "And some of it clearly shows an anomalous object hovering roughly around the volcano." "This object is clearly under intelligent control." "And from what we see on the video, it's also apparent that this isn't birds, as some skeptics have been trying to argue." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto  scientists, volcanic eruptions are natural events that occur when rocks deep within the" "Earth become so hot, they melt and form magma." "DENNIN:" "Basically,youbuild up a lot of pressure in the magma in the location where the volcano is, and it has a point where it can release, and then that magma and the hot gases and the hot lava all kind of" "erupt out through the top." "NARRATOR:" "Still,some researchers believe there is a high correlation between catastrophic events and the appearance of UFOs." "COPPENS:" "Thefactthatwe have UFOs before and sometimes during these events, whether it's tsunami or earthquakes, clearly shows that something is present."

"For example, let's say it's sort of on the verge anyway." "Is there something you can do technologically to either trigger it or to make it worse?" "We don't know." "We just see this apparent foreknowledge of an event like that happening." "The UFO shows up, the event happens." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto  ancient astronaut theorists, alien spacecraft have been spotted at or near the sites of so-called natural catastrophes since ancient times." "But why?" "Is it possible extraterrestrials are merely curious about geologic events on Earth?" "Or could there be another, perhaps more sinister, motive for their interest?" "April 14, 1561." "Nuremberg, Germany." "Citizens awoke at dawn to the spectacle of cylindrical objects appearing in the sky from which red, black, orange and blue disks emerged." "According to eyewitness accounts recorded in the Nuremberg" "Gazette, tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared and the objects began to" ""fight one another."" "After about an hour of battle, the entities seemed to catch fire and fell to Earth, where they turned to steam." "Five years later, Austrian architect Hans Glaser created a woodcut detailing what he observed during the famous event." "BRAMLEY:" "Inthatwoodcut and in the eyewitness reports, we actually see UFOs in battle." "They were reported actually fighting each other, shooting each other down." "If you look at the bottom right-hand corner of the woodcut, you will actually see a couple of circles in the ground, giving off smoke." "They've obviously crashed." "They have been shot down." "That is very interesting, because it shows that the pattern of aggression amongst the UFOs, has been going on for a long time." "NARRATOR:" "Tosomeancient astronaut theorists, the 540- year-old woodcut is evidence of an alien cosmic war." "And in fact, they claim similar hostile events have occurred in human history for millennia." "BRAMLEY:" "Theevidence from the record, from eyewitness testimony, shows a connection between the" "UFO and a thinning effort, where there's apparently a wanton intention to wipe out or thin out the human race."

"WILCOCK:" "Itclearlyseems that Leonardo da Vinci was privy to a series of secrets that had been handed down for many, many thousands of years." "Da Vinci may also have actually been contacted by human-like extraterrestrials who either spoke to him in person or perhaps telepathically and inspired him to do so many different things." "BRAMLEY:" "Wedo know, for example, that one of his inventions was a circular car." "It looks kind of like a UFO." "Now, he's also into inventing weapons." "And did that come from the fact that, the UFO has demonstrated, basically, some aggressiveness, and did some of that maybe in some way rub off on him?" "WILCOCK:" "Werethey trying to give him weapons that could be used to destroy life on Earth?" "That could have been possible." "NARRATOR:" "Butif Leonardoda" "Vinci did have knowledge of advanced weaponry, might he have learned of it through observation and study?"

"And of course, according to the ancient astronaut hypothesis, that wasn't God, it wasn't angels." "They were extraterrestrials." "NARRATOR:" "Isit possible that over the centuries, extraterrestrials have been partnering with human collaborators; human beings entrusted with the kind of advanced scientific knowledge that would allow mankind to leap over centuries of normal intellectual evolution?" "To ancient astronaut theorists, the fact that mankind had gone from the horse and buggy to the" "Moon in less than 100 years makes such a notion not only possible, but entirely probable." "TSOUKALOS:" "Inour development, all of a sudden we've made a quantum leap, where we were sitting in caves munching on bananas, and the next thing we do is we're building pyramids, virtually overnight." "And so that quantum leap can be explained with a direct extraterrestrial intervention of our past." "WILCOCK:" "Andthevisitorsare the ones who are revered as gods, who seem to come on flying shields or silver boats or any of the various descriptions of extraterrestrial technology that you see in these ancient legends, and they consistently" "are trying to cultivate humanity in a direction that's beneficial for everyone."

"Might other human geniuses throughout time have served as human gateways, allowing extraterrestrials to jump-start our technological advances?" "If the answer is yes, then what are we being prepared for?"

"NARRATOR:" "TheOmoRiver," "Ethiopia." "Flowing south 400 miles into" "Lake Turkana, the banks of this river are rich in hominid fossil fragments, including those of chimpanzees, gorillas and early humanoids."

"The remains date as far back as 195,000 years ago, making the fossils the oldest evidence of modern humans, or Homo sapiens." "DENNIN:" "Weareconstantly still finding new breakthroughs and either more complete skeletons or a more complete site." "If we look at the fossil record, at some point eventually you find common ancestors with chimpanzees." "You go back really close and you have Neanderthal and" "Cro-Magnon man."

"VONDÄNIKEN:" "We arethe only one who came out of the family tree with culture." "Why?" "Evolution says by coincidence." "We have adapted as best." "I say no." "It was an artificial mutation made out of the family tree." "TSOUKALOS:" "Andthen overnight, we were building pyramids, Sumeria was created, all those different high achievements were done virtually overnight." "So this quantum leap in development, this big bang of knowledge or intelligence, all of a sudden happened." "And the ancient astronaut theory suggests that this is a direct result of extraterrestrials tampering with our DNA." "So we're half human and half extraterrestrial." "We're hybrids." "WILCOCK:" "Wehavean incredible wealth of information, in stone, preserved from ancient times, that can lead us in a direction of really knowing that the ancient ancestors of modern humans were not simply born on Earth but came here from somewhere else." "NARRATOR:" "Butif  extraterrestrials arrived here in the distant past, who were they?" "And why did they come here?" "Ancient astronaut theorists believe answers exist in early" "Sumerian texts." "In 1849, British archaeologist" "Austen Henry Layard discovered 22,000 clay tablets in the ancient Sumerian city of" "Nineveh, in an area now known as Iraq." "The tablets contain cuneiform script, believed to be the earliest writing system, created by the Sumerians 6,000 years ago." "NARRATOR:" "AuthorZecharia" "Sitchin spent more than 30 years translating these Sumerian clay tablets." "In his 1976 book The 12th" "Planet, Sitchin claims the cuneiform texts describe an alien race named the Anunnaki, who came to Earth from an undiscovered planet in our solar system beyond Neptune called Nibiru." "JASONMARTELL:" "Theyexplained to the Sumerians that through their own rise to a technological culture, they damaged their atmosphere." "And they came here seeking gold and precious elements to repair their planet's dwindling atmosphere." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto" "Sitchin, the Anunnaki first visited Earth 450,000 years ago, during the age of Neanderthals." "And they created Homo sapiens through genetic engineering to create a species to work and mine precious minerals for them." "VONDÄNIKEN:" "Ourforefathers believed that they were gods." "And they were here on purpose." "They wanted to make our primitive generation, at that time, intelligent." "They wanted to plant curiosity into our brain." "And we became more developed in technology, in astronomy, in every field." "That's what they wanted." "The question is: why?" "BRAMLEY:" "Whenyoulookat the ancient creation stories, you find that what they said about our position as Homo sapiens is that we were created to be a slave race, or a work race." "NARRATOR:" "Accordingto" "Sitchin's interpretation of the ancient tablets, the human civilization in Sumer was set up under the guidance of the" "Anunnaki." "And to disguise alien manipulation, human kings were inaugurated to provide intermediaries between mankind and their so-called gods." "Then, around 3,000 B.C., humans began building stone monuments, such as Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids." "For mainstream historians, the physical ability and know-how to construct these megalithic sites remains a mystery." "But ancient astronaut theorists contend that megaton stone monuments were erected by human laborers aided with alien technology." "TSOUKALOS:" "Andwhatdothe ancient texts say about ancient" "Sumeria?" "That none of this could've been possible without the help of the gods, or in their case, the" "Anunnaki, which means "those who from the heavens came."" "MARTELL:" "Manycultureshad a time when they interacted with their living gods." "So who were those gods?" "In my mind, they were misrepresented advanced extraterrestrials, and they brought forth the technology to build the monuments we see, such as Giza or all across Bolivia," "Peru and South America." "NARRATOR:" "Sitchin's interpretations of the Sumerian tablets further claim the ancient Anunnaki astronauts carried out breeding experiments to improve the species of laborers." "But to keep the human population at bay and correct genetic mistakes, the aliens orchestrated so-called natural catastrophes." "(thunder rumbling)" "MARTELL:" "TheAnunnakisaw  the Neanderthal man naturally evolving here on Earth and just decided to put their genetic marker on it." "Meaning, they took 80% of their genes and 20% of the hominoid that was here and created us in their image and after their likeness." "WILCOCK:" "Andthiswas  essentially when modern humanity was born and starts to show up in the fossil record." "It wasn't until 75,000 years ago that you have this supervolcano that goes off in" "Lake Toba." "And in the aftermath of that great cataclysm, it appears that we went through further genetic modifications." "Very, very powerful E.T.'s came in and upgraded our DNA." "NOORY:" "Theyprobablyfigured," ""You know, there's something wrong with this species."" "So, they probably create these disasters like the flood." "And then of course, there's always that biblical perspective, and people believe" "God did it." "Well, God could have been the extraterrestrials, could have created that somehow." "It's very possible and very likely that in order to eradicate a species, that they may have genetically altered themselves and screwed up with, that they needed to get rid of them and start all over again." "TSOUKALOS:" "Theultimate proof for the ancient astronaut theory will not be in a megalithic site." "It won't be finding a crashed spaceship." "But it will be found deep within our genes." "And that is exactly what the ancient texts are saying-- that we were created in the image of the gods." "NARRATOR:" "Thoughmorethan 20,000 genes have been identified in the human genome, scientists worldwide have only begun to understand the origins of man." "As geneticists continue to study our DNA, might they find traces of an alien species in our genes?" "And if Homo sapiens were genetically engineered by aliens, might they have continued to shape our existence?" "NARRATOR:" "ElbertCounty," "Georgia." "Four 18-foot-tall granite stones form a mysterious monument some call the American" "Stonehenge." "Engraved in the giant stones in 12 languages are ten guides or commandments suggesting how to rebuild civilization after the apocalypse." "Known as the Georgia Guide" "Stones, the monument was built in 1979 by an unknown man going by the pseudonym" ""R.C. Christian."" "BRAMLEY:" "Somepeoplehavea theory that whoever put those guide stones up was either a" "Freemason or that the name" "R.C. Christian was really a way to parrot the fictional founder of Rosicrucianism centuries earlier." "When you trace them back to the ancient gods who wore the same symbolic aprons, they were the ancient aliens that we now talk about." "NARRATOR:" "Wasthemonument secretly built by followers of" "Rosicrucianism; an ancient society of mystics and philosophers who were inspired by the religions of the" "Far East?" "If so, might the stones contain coded messages intended to prepare us for the imminent apocalypse?" "Perhaps." "But to some ancient astronaut theorists, warnings of an impending apocalypse are meant to caution human beings against the very real prospect of an alien invasion... or worse." "Perhaps the examination, vivisection and eventual annihilation of all human life on our planet." "Since the late 19th century, modern reports of aliens abducting and probing humans have numbered in the tens of thousands." "Researcher David M. Jacobs has spent more than 40 years studying so-called abductees and their alien encounters through the use of hypnosis." "JACOBS:" "Thepreponderance of evidence of person after person saying the same thing to me, things that I could never have imagined being thought up... then I began to realize," ""Oh, my God, this is actually happening."" "And I was dumbstruck by the fact that this was convincing evidence to me." "BRAMLEY:" "WhatDr.Jacobs has reported is that what the aliens seem to have been doing for these least 40 years, perhaps longer, is that when they abduct people, it's not just an experiment." "They are actually engaged in a very intense, very involved program of genetic breeding where they are breeding hybrids." "The abductees that he's been talking to-- according to him-- have gotten to the point of this massive program of creating hybrids where now the hybrids look like us quite a bit." "But behaviorally, psychologically, they are still alien." "NARRATOR:" "Jacobsclaims alien-human hybrids can communicate telepathically and dictate human thoughts neurologically." "JACOBS:" "Thesebeingscan  put ideas, images in people's minds quite easily." "Therefore, what people describe is that they can be controlled on a number of different levels by the minds of these other beings." "NARRATOR:" "Since2003, abductees have supposedly been reporting to Jacobs that the hybrids were being integrated into society, unnoticed by humans." "BRAMLEY:" "Tome ,thisis possible evidence of the plan to do another thinning; to kind of make room for this new jump from modern Homo sapiens to whatever we're gonna call this new" "Homo sapiens." "That is the potential future apocalypse involving the alien presence." "And that's where I see some danger signs." "JACOBS:" "Somepeoplethink that these beings are benevolent, that they are here to help us, to stop war, cure cancer, that they are here for reasons that have everything to do with us and very little to do" "with them." "I don't see benevolence here." "I don't see malevolence." "But I see the furthering of an alien agenda of which we do not know the future." "BULLARD:" "Somepeople have theorized that the creation of an alien hybrid race might be a way of accomplishing a better age on Earth." "And there are some abductees who even bring back predictions that there will be a time called "The Change" when there will be aliens and humans living together on Earth as if it were a return of the age" "of paradise." "There are others who think that they are coming to create a better Earth." "Some think they are coming to take over the Earth." "JACOBS:" "Wereallydon 'tknow the alien agenda." "We do know that they have been telling abductees for a long time that soon everybody will be happy." "Soon everyone will know their place." "Soon we will all be together." "TSOUKALOS:" "Thishasbeen going on for thousands of years with the creation of" "Homo sapiens." "I mean, from the very get-go." "So to suggest that now is the time where, you know, a new hybrid extraterrestrial" "Homo sapiens will emerge in this new age of consciousness..." "No, no, it won't." "We already are hybrids." "We already are part extraterrestrial and part human." "NARRATOR:" "Humanandalien hybrids?" "Extraterrestrial engineering designed to weed out excessive population growth?" "Or perhaps to exterminate inferior genetic strains?" "Might geological catastrophes and meteorological calamities be the work of unseen, perhaps alien, hands?" "For skeptics, the answer is a resounding "No."" "But with the end of the Mayan calendar looming in 2012, could all of our questions about the alien agenda finally be answered?"
