Ancient Aliens s16e04 Episode Script

1
Enormous humanoid figures
descending from the stars.
We have in our ancient
midrashic teachings
that when the adamic race
descended to earth,
they were beings
approximately 100 feet tall.
Massive structures
built with stones weighing
thousands of pounds.
Cyclopean architecture
is associated with the cyclopes,
the one-eyed giants.
It really indicates something
that's almost impossible
to make.
Some of these blocks,
I've heard,
are up to 30 tons each?
Yes.
I mean, this is incredible.
Mysterious tombs
said to contain
gigantic skeletons.
I personally went there,
measured the tombs myself.
Even in the smaller tombs,
you could fit
a nine-to 12-foot giant.
Could the ancient legends
of giants in the mediterranean
really be true?
The giants were a fact.
They did exist.
You have the stories of giants,
you have structures
that are incredible,
and you have to wonder,
what are their origins?
There is a doorway
in the universe.
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
It demands
we question everything
we have ever been taught.
The evidence is all around us.
The future is
right before our eyes.
We are not alone.
We have never been alone.
The mediterranean.
This majestic inland sea,
spanning
nearly one million square miles,
has been dubbed the "incubator
of western civilization."
its temperate climate
and fertile soil
enabled the rise of some of the
greatest civilizations on earth,
including the mesopotamians,
egyptians, persians,
phoenicians, greeks and romans.
Throughout the mediterranean,
there were great civilizations.
Their art, their philosophy,
their scientific findings,
the accumulative knowledge
is this strong connection
to the ancient roots
of western civilization.
It's really earth-shattering
how sophisticated the ancient
mediterranean cultures were
in their understanding
of astronomy
and astrology and mathematics,
going all the way back
to the babylonians.
Each civilization
developed innovations
that shaped the modern world.
Mesopotamian astronomers devised
the 12-month calendar.
Phoenician sailors pioneered
celestial navigation.
Greek philosophers established
the principles
of democratic government
and trial by jury.
Each culture had
the written word, the arts,
and, curiously,
stories of giants.
There are legends of giants
that appear
throughout the mediterranean.
The roman historian
dio cassius wrote
that giants roamed the land
before mount vesuvius erupted.
We call them mythology,
but they were seen as truth
at the time.
There are these stories
of humans interacting
with these giants, and they're
often in conflict with them
in the greek tales
of the gigantomachy.
There is a story
of the gigantomachy,
a great battle
between the olympians
and the race of giants.
Giants play a major role
in the earliest greek stories.
In the gigantomachy,
these strange, enormous figures,
who are neither gods nor humans,
are battling
for control of the heavens.
The giants were actually
descendants of the titans.
Um, oftentimes,
people confuse the two.
But the giants
were said to have been born
from gaia and uranus,
and this is
where the name derives.
Hercules was pivotal in the gods
overcoming the giants
in the gigantomachia.
Hercules' victory
over the giants
was called the pompeii,
and the ancient city of pompeii
is said
to have been named for it.
Stories of giants can be found
in the traditions of ancient
cultures throughout the world.
Native tribes
of the american southwest
told of a race
of red-haired giants
curiously similar
to the accounts
of the celtic people of europe,
who described red-haired giants
called the tuatha dé danann.
In india, early sanskrit texts
portray buddha
as a nine-foot-tall,
blue-skinned giant.
And on easter island,
local traditions have it
that the enormous stone moai
statues were erected by giants.
But as far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
the incredible volume of stories
found in the mediterranean,
and the details contained
within them,
may indicate that this part of
the world was an arrival point
for actual giant beings
that came to earth
from another planet.
We have a great concentration
of these stories
in the mediterranean area.
You have them in greece,
in Italy and in ancient sumeria.
So the idea that at some point
giants roamed the land,
you have to wonder,
who were these giants?
What are their origins?
If actual giants
once lived alongside humans,
as some ancient texts suggest,
did they leave behind
any physical evidence
of their presence on earth?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
the answer might be found
by examining
another race of giants
from the greek tradition.
In the 7th century bc,
the poet hesiod wrote
about the cyclopes,
a group of giants
responsible for building
incredible structures
out of stone.
Now, the cyclopes were
one-eyed giants.
They are builders.
They are craftsmen.
They can make things.
They make armor.
They make weapons.
They're able
to build walls and gates,
and these are
very important divine figures.
In the mediterranean,
there are structures
thought to have been built
by giants.
One of those is
the lion's gate in mycenae.
This is said to have been built
by the cyclopes.
And the reason for this is,
one, because
of the architecture of it
It's called "cyclopean masonry,"
which are usually large stones
placed upon each other.
Could real-life giants
have built structures
in the mediterranean
that have survived
the ravages of time
and still stand to this day?
As far as ancient astronaut
theorists are concerned,
the answer is a resounding yes.
And not just one or
two But thousands.
In the middle
of the mediterranean sea,
just south of sicily,
lie the islands of malta.
With three inhabited islands
covering an area
of roughly 120 square miles,
it is one of the smallest
countries in the world.
But this tiny nation boasts
no less than seven
enormous megalithic structures,
containing some of the most
massive freestanding stones
in the world.
Malta is an incredible place,
because there we have
some of the biggest megalithic
sites in all of europe.
The temples on malta and gozo
are more than
a thousand years older
than the pyramids of egypt.
They are the earliest monumental
architecture in the world.
Looks very much
as if that architecture
developed right here in malta.
Mainstream historians believe
the first inhabitants of malta
traveled from sicily in 5200 bc.
Today, the stone structures
erected on the maltese islands
are considered by archeologists
to be among the greatest
creations of ancient builders
found anywhere on earth.
One of the oldest
megalithic sites in europe
is a place called ggantija
on the maltese island of gozo,
and this was actually
the oldest free-standing temple
in the world before gobekli tepe
was discovered.
At the time that
the ggantija temples were built,
about 3500 bc,
there was no one else in the
world doing anything like this.
Some of the walls
of ggantija temple
are more than 20 feet high
Still standing,
have never fallen.
There's very little in the world
that could survive
for 5,000 years
the way ggantija has.
While a structure
lasting 5,000 years
is astonishing, many believe
these megalithic buildings
could be far older.
But mainstream historians
are unable to explain
how the ancient builders
were able to precisely arrange
the massive stones
Each weighing over 20 tons
Before metal tools,
or even the wheel,
had been invented.
Modern cranes
cannot lift that today.
It would appear
that the builders at malta had
some special technology
that is probably
beyond our own capabilities.
"ggantija" is translated
from the maltese
into "place of the giants,"
or "place made by giants."
it's always been called that.
It was said to have been built
by a giant goddess, sunsuna,
who built it
while nursing an infant.
In malta,
the archaeologists agree
with the local legends
that the giants built
the ancient structures of malta.
And who were those giants?
These are not gods.
These are false gods.
They're extraterrestrials,
if you will.
Was the mediterranean
home to a race of colossal
beings thousands of years ago?
And if so, were they born
of this earth,
or did they come
from somewhere else?
Perhaps further clues
can be found by examining
another mysterious
megalithic structure on malta,
one that has a very specific
cosmic connection.
Qrendi, malta
located on the rugged
south coast of the main island,
this historic village is home to
a mysterious megalithic temple
called mnajdra.
This complex consists
of stone structures
that are laid out
in the pattern of a trefoil,
three interconnected
circular chambers.
There are actually three temples
at the complex of mnajdra.
The south temple seems
to be aligned specifically
to function as a solar calendar.
The temple is aligned so that
the sunrise on the equinox,
the two times each year
when daylight and darkness
are exactly equal, the sun rises
exactly in the central corridor
and lights up the whole temple
all the way to the back.
On other times of the year,
there are other stones
that reflect
the solstice daybreak.
Mainstream archaeologists
estimate that the oldest temple
at mnajdra was built
sometime around 3600 bc,
by the same builders who
constructed the ggantija temple.
According to local folklore,
these ancient builders
were giants.
The idea of giants comes from
the fact that it's so big.
There's no way that regular
human people could stack
all these stones up and
create such mammoth buildings.
It had to be giants.
In 1992,
university of malta professor
paul micallef
published a book
that claimed mnajdra
is thousands of years older
than historians believe,
and pinpoints the construction
to 10,200 bc.
He came to this conclusion
because based on the tilt
of the earth
at that point in time,
on the morning
of the summer solstice,
a beam of light would have come
through the main entrance
of the mnajdra temple
and been cast directly
on the center of an altar stone.
The only way
this could be achieved
is if mnajdra
was built specifically
with the end effect in mind.
Over huge periods of time,
the rising of the sun
on the summer solstice moves
to different parts of the sky.
And this is called
the precession of the equinox,
it's the earth's wobble over
a nearly 26,000-year period.
If paul micallef's analysis
is correct,
it would predate the earth's
earliest known civilizations
by some 6,000 years.
So, how were sophisticated
megalithic structures
with precise
astronomical alignments,
built on an isolated island
thousands of years before
the emergence of civilization?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest the knowledge to do this
was given to the people of malta
by giants,
who were not of this earth.
We automatically assume
that extraterrestrials
might be what we describe today
as the grey aliens.
But more than likely we're gonna
have be confronted
with the fact that these species
are far different
than we've previously
understood.
Astrophysicists are
typically saying
that the larger the planet, the
greater the gravitational field.
And in theory, if some aliens
are actual giants,
uh, even twice the size of us,
as an example,
perhaps they're coming
from planets
that are actually smaller
than the earth
and has a smaller gravity
and therefore,
they grow larger than we are.
Could the megalithic temples
on malta have been built
by a lost civilization
that thrived 12,000 years ago,
possibly with the aid
of giant beings
who descended from the sky?
Misrah ghar il-kbir.
Located on the southwest coast
of malta,
this region is home to some
of the most baffling formations
found anywhere on the planet,
a complex network of grooves
carved into the rock
known simply as cart ruts.
The cart ruts on malta
are about, uh, four feet wide.
They're-they're
uniformly spaced.
Some of them run
hundreds of yards.
Some of them run miles.
These parallel incisions
in the bedrock
have been identified
as cart ruts
because that's what
they look like.
What they really were,
what their purpose was
we don't know.
There's nothing written.
There's no way, really, to tell.
But there are a lot of them.
In some places,
they are so crisscrossed
and complex
that the area has been called
clapham junction,
after the train station
in london.
Author gordon weston
has been studying
this strange anomaly
for more than a decade
and, in 2010,
wrote a book called
Unraveling an enigma,
in which he examines
the various theories
about how they might
have been formed.
So, gordon,
tell me what you think.
Well, got a what,
you got half a lifetime?
Absolutely. Yes.
Basically, you couldn't drive
a cart down here.
The cart would be wrecked.
Early researchers
looked at vehicles
that would scrape away the rock,
because that's what it looks
like's happened.
There was three devices.
The first one was a sledge.
Probably the oldest form
of human transport.
But they found that the sledge
immediately got stuck.
So two other devices
have been looked at.
Uh, one was the travois.
They're used
by the plains indians
to transport their teepees
from camp to camp.
The problem is the poles
would be wider than these ruts
when they touch the ground.
The next device
is called the slide car.
It's a load platform
with two runners on it.
It's a fanciful
and ridiculous idea.
Practical experiments and that
It just doesn't work.
Science is useless
for this problem.
There is no methodology
which can be applied
scientifically to these ruts.
So, in st. George's bay,
in a city called birzebbuga,
there are a couple of ruts
that go straight
into the mediterranean sea.
- They are famous.
- You're-you're right.
It is interesting to see
the ruts go into the sea.
They also are said to have come
up on the other side of the bay.
But it's now built over.
So, how do you explain it?
It might be that we're looking
at a technology
we don't understand.
The ruts go off into the sea.
Underwater, people have dived
down and found them, miles away.
So, apparently,
either the sea level rose
or the land subsided
or maybe both.
During the last ice age,
the sea level
was 300 feet lower.
So, it could have been
that, 10,000, 15,000 years ago,
the islands were inhabited
by people who used
these so-called cart ruts
to transport, uh, stones
across the island.
According to geologists,
the last ice age ended
around 10,000 bc.
Might the existence
of these cart ruts
corroborate the findings
of professor paul micallef,
who claimed the mnajdra temple
was constructed
more than 12,000 years ago?
Perhaps even more baffling
to researchers
is the fact
that these mysterious grooves
are not confined
to the maltese islands.
These cart ruts
are found also in tunisia
and in sicily.
So, they seem to relate
to a people
who are occupying
all of those areas.
Might the so-called cart ruts
be a remnant
of a vast transportation network
that existed
throughout the mediterranean
some 12,000 years ago?
Could they be physical evidence
to support
the stories of giants?
Perhaps further clues
can be found
on another mediterranean island,
one that contains
ancient stone structures
known as the tombs
of the giants.
Sardinia, Italy
located 116 miles west
of the italian peninsula,
this picturesque island
in the mediterranean
boasts rugged mountains,
arid grasslands,
and white sand beaches.
It is also home
to many mysterious
ancient stone structures
similar to those found on malta
just 400 miles away.
Sardinia is probably best known
for its abundance of structures
called nuraghe.
And these are conical towers,
usually truncated at the top,
so that there's a flat base.
There are
approximately 7,000 nuraghe
that scholars have uncovered
on sardinia,
though that number could be
as high as 20,000 or more.
These nuraghe
are made out
of huge basalt boulders.
They're stacked up
into towers and walls
and beehive chambers.
Archaeologists do not know
how they were all built.
They assume that huge ramps
were built to-to move all
of this material,
which, uh, seems unlikely,
frankly,
when you're there
and you see it.
According
to mainstream archaeologists,
these structures were built
by the nuraghe,
a civilization that is believed
to have inhabited the island
nearly 4,000 years
ago, emerging in 1800 bc
and mysteriously disappearing
around 200 ad.
Among the thousands
of ancient structures
found on sardinia,
perhaps the most baffling
to researchers
are megalithic tombs
said to have been built
for giants.
There are nearly 800
so-called tombs of the giants
found in sardinia.
And the reason why
they're called giant
is because
they're remarkably long tombs,
usually with stone slabs
in them,
and they appear
extraordinarily large.
There is a lot of controversy
concerning what these tombs
were built for.
More specifically,
for whom were they built?
I personally went there,
measured the tombs myself.
In the larger tomb,
you could fit
a nine-to 12-foot giant.
A nine-to 12-foot giant?
Could the strange tombs
in sardinia
have once contained the corpses
of actual giants?
But if sardinia was home
to a race of colossal beings,
who were they?
Cagliari, sardinia.
The national
archaeological museum
debuts its newest exhibit,
a number
of enormous stone statues
known collectively
as the giants of mont'e prama.
So, the giants of mont'e prama
are very tall stone giants
that were found on the, uh,
western coast of sardinia
back in 1974.
Uh, since then, there's been
numerous excavations,
and over 40
of these stone giants,
over eight feet tall,
have now been reconstructed
from pieces
that were found there.
The giants of mont'e prama are
very strange-looking
stone statues.
And what makes them
so bizarre is their faces.
For all intents and purposes,
the face looks like a
replica of c-3po, the robot.
And the fact that archaeologists
suggest
that these are the replicas
of the local population
And they even call them
the giants of mont'e prama
You have to wonder,
what did our ancestors
try to carve?
If these statues
depict giants
that once lived on the island
as ancient astronaut theorists
suggest,
what might
their strange appearance
reveal about them?
Perhaps further clues
can be found
by examining another
of sardinia's ancient mysteries:
The more than 300
stone monuments
scattered across the island
known as menhirs.
A menhir is a megalithic,
uh, monument
comprising of a single stone
inserted in the ground,
and it goes
straight up vertically.
They're usually quite large
and have
a religious significance.
We find them all over the world,
but the ones in sardinia
are very interesting
because they often have carvings
on them
of this upside-down kind of
abstract human form on them
as though someone is diving
from the sky to the earth.
And there's been no explanation
as to exactly what
these represent.
Some people have
suggested that they represent
people descending from the sky
and imparting knowledge.
What's incredible
is that bird people
or birdmen cults
exist worldwide.
In fact,
the further back you go in time,
you see carvings and statues
of beings that have wings.
Even earlier than angels,
you have depictions
of people up in the sky,
fixed wings,
like a modern-day airplane.
So, you have to wonder
if our ancestors
saw winged machines
up in the sky.
If the giant statues
found on the island of sardinia
depict extraterrestrials
as ancient astronaut theorists
suggest,
then is it possible
that the menhirs
are meant to reveal
how these visitors arrived?
For ancient astronaut theorists,
the idea of giants
descending from the heavens
is reminiscent of the stories
of another
ancient mediterranean people:
The sumerians.
This civilization, which existed
at the same time
archaeologists believe
the menhirs on sardinia
were carved,
also wrote of enormous beings
who came from the sky:
The anunnaki.
The anunnaki
are the so-called creator gods
of ancient sumeria and babylon.
Our ancestors thought
they were
these divine, magical beings
described as descending
from the sky.
There's all types
of wall reliefs
and artifacts and inscriptions
which depict the anunnaki
standing amongst
the other sumerian human beings.
They're always depicted
as larger beings,
uh, of great stature.
This is intriguing
because on the island
of sardinia
is a huge, great,
truncated pyramid
with a long ramp
running up towards it.
It's made of local stone,
and it would seem
to look extremely like
a ziggurat from ancient sumeria.
So, were the anunnaki
in any way linked
with the gigantes legends
on the island itself?
Is it possible
that a race of colossal beings
known to the sumerians
as the annunaki
visited the island of sardinia
in the distant past?
And if so,
might sardinia
hold evidence that giants
not only existed
throughout the mediterranean
but have
extraterrestrial origins?
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
and suggest further evidence
can be found
by examining ancient walls
that still stand
in what was once the very heart
of the roman empire.
Ferentino, Italy.
June 2019.
Ancient astronaut theorist
giorgio tsoukalos
is in the heart
of the italian peninsula,
about 50 miles southeast
of rome.
This area of Italy,
known as latium,
was considered the epicenter
of the roman civilization.
Located 300 miles east
of sardinia
and 600 miles north of malta,
ferentino is also connected
to stories of giants.
Giorgio is eager to investigate
the ancient city's
massive megalithic walls,
considered to be some of the
finest constructions in Italy.
For expert insight,
he has called upon
local historian
danila bracaglia.
- Danila?
- Giorgio.
- Welcome to Italy
and to ciociaria.
- Thank you.
This is, uh, beautiful.
- What can you tell me
about this area?
- Well,
ferentino, where we are today,
is actually known
for these constructions
of, uh, the megalithic walls,
founded, according to
the tradition, by god saturn.
Okay. This is fascinating to me
because this is one
of the reasons why I'm here.
What can you tell me
about the mythologies of saturn
in this area here?
So, the five cities of saturn
are all
a few kilometers
one from another,
and they all start
with the letter "a."
alatri, arpino, anagni,
atina and ferentino.
The original name was atino.
The tradition says,
you know, the towns were founded
by saturn and the titans.
In greek mythology,
the titans were humanlike gods
of enormous stature
who were eventually overthrown
by their children,
the olympians.
Saturn is the roman name
for the titan cronus,
the father of zeus
and one of the primary gods
of ancient rome,
after whom
both the planet saturn
and the day Saturday are named.
The ancient romans wrote
that saturn once reigned
as an earthly king
alongside janus
during a golden age
when the gods
walked among humans.
Could it be that saturn
and the titans
are not merely the product
of mythology
but actually existed on earth
and were responsible
for helping to construct
the megalithic structures found
throughout the mediterranean?
So, danila,
where are we right now?
So, this is one of
the entrance gates to the town.
And here
it's actually a perfect point
where you can understand
the stratification of the time.
You see the huge blocks
from the pre-roman time,
then smaller, uh, blocks in
Built in the roman time
and finally the middle age
on top.
So, basically,
you can see the
The megalithic structure,
then the roman,
- and then medieval age.
- Exactly.
- Okay.
- And it's like reading
a history book.
So, it's, uh, because here it's
evident that people lived here
for thousands of years and
And they had different technique
of construction.
Some of them,
like the megalithic,
uh, constructions, are lost,
uh, so we don't know exactly,
uh, when they were built.
Do you know if all
these five cities of saturn
- have the cyclopean walls?
- Yes.
They have, uh, these walls,
megalithics or huge stones,
and some of them are
better preserved than others.
I mean, this is incredible.
And this region is not the only
place that has these walls.
For example,
we have them also in greece.
But what's even more fascinating
is that we have similar walls
on the other side of the world
in sacsayhuamán, peru.
So, from completely opposite
sides of the planet,
we have similar,
if not identical,
construction styles.
According to
the ancient astronaut theory,
saturn was one
of the founding gods
of civilization on earth,
so the idea that this
may have had something to do
with an extraterrestrial visit,
to me,
is-is fascinating.
If the mediterranean
really was home to giants,
where did they go?
Some ancient astronaut theorists
believe
traces of these giants can still
be found on earth today
hidden within our own dna.
Porto torres, sardinia.
October, 1953.
Excavators performing
an archaeological dig
in what was the roman empire's
first colony on the island
reportedly make
an astonishing find.
In a place called porto torres,
in 1953, it was reported
that two over eight-foot-tall
skeletons were discovered
in the area with grave goods
and bronze furnishings
and other such things actually
within the tomb itself,
suggesting that indeed giants
did exist in sardinia.
Full skeletons of giants
have been unearthed
in the soils of sardinia,
especially among
the nuragic ruins.
I interviewed two individuals
who worked on the excavation
of the nuragic ruins
in the town of sardara,
underneath
the church of santa anastasia.
Both of these individuals
dug up,
at different periods of time,
multiple skeletons
of giants
from nine to 12 feet tall.
Multiple giant skeletons,
nine to 12 feet tall?
Curiously,
this is the same length
of many of the so-called giants'
tombs found all over sardinia.
But if such massive bones
have indeed been discovered,
what happened to them?
Some researchers believe
these findings have been
deliberately covered up.
We hear these stories,
but we don't have any evidence.
It's all been taken away.
For example, another account
from the 1950s
There was a gentleman
who actually witnessed
bones being dug up
on his farm when he was a child.
And people
in large black cars arrived,
official-looking people,
and took the bones away
in the middle of the night.
When it comes
to the alleged discovery of
giant skeletons, does the fact
that the bones have gone missing
suggest a cover-up or a hoax?
While skeptics say
that many of these stories come
from dubious sources,
there is at least one discovery
that was documented
by one of the oldest
universities in the world.
In 1892, it was
reported that scientists
at the university of montpellier
in France studied bones
that had been excavated on
France's mediterranean coast,
and found that they belonged
to a human
who stood over 11 feet tall.
So there have been
numerous reports
of giant bones, teeth, skulls.
The lack of physical evidence
is quite frustrating,
but I'm sure it will come out.
But if reports of giant
skeletons are true,
were these enormous beings human
or something else?
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
the answer may be hidden
within our own dna.
Copenhagen, denmark.
A team of geneticists studying
an ancient hominin
called homo antecessor make
a groundbreaking discovery.
This species was
a close relative
of the last common ancestor to
humans and two other hominins:
Neanderthals and denisovans.
It is just the latest in a
series of incredible discoveries
that have revealed humans
not only shared the earth
with at least eight other
humanlike species,
but even mated and produced
offspring with them.
For quite a long period of time,
many of us, myself included,
thought that humans
and other hominins,
particularly neanderthals,
didn't interbreed.
After 2010,
when technology allowed us
to sequence the entire genomes
of several neanderthals
and other species
and modern humans,
we began to see traces
of a little bit
of neanderthal mixture.
We see traces
of neanderthal ancestry
in europe,
and we see it in asia,
as well as in the americas
amongst native americans.
Mysteriously,
scientists have found
one hominid is represented
in human dna that has not yet
been identified.
But ancient astronaut theorists
believe
clues as to what other ancestors
might exist
within the human genome
can be found
in the bible's book of genesis.
In the book of genesis, it says
that the sons of god came
into the daughters of men.
They created a hybrid offspring
who are called "the nephilim,"
or "the fallen ones."
they're referred to as "the
giants" or "the mighty ones,"
and some believed they were
between eight and 15 feet tall.
This is handed down
not only in the bible.
This is also handed down
in sumerian languages,
that some of the gods had sex
with humans,
and the offsprings were giants.
Mythology is full of giants,
and we have to look at these
old myths with modern languages,
change the word of "angel"
into "extraterrestrial."
in the beginning of time,
extraterrestrials had sex
with humans,
and the product of
this sexual contact were giants.
Is it possible
that as geneticists continue
to decode the human genome,
they will find
that among our various hominid
ancestors is a missing link
to enormous beings
from another world?
Ancient dna is perhaps, for me,
the most important area of study
in all of my work,
because there is
the potential chance here
that we can find direct evidence
of the ancestors
of modern humans.
I suspect we'll find
lineages of a race of giants.
Could it be
that just like some humans have
traces of neanderthal dna,
there could still be similar
traces of alien-human giants
that scientists have yet
to discover?
Ancient astronaut theorists
believe
the answer is a profound yes,
and suggest further insights
could be revealed
in early judaic texts,
which give a curious description
of the world's first man,
otherwise known as "adam."
The book of genesis,
chapter six.
Placed just after
the story of creation
and the generations
of adam and eve,
this section of the hebrew bible
contains a curious passage.
There is
a very interesting teaching
in older kabbalistic traditions
that dates back to temple times.
Legend states
that adam originally was,
by our definition, a giant,
that the original adamic race
was not
of the same physical stature
as we human beings are today.
Some claim that the original
adamic race were giants.
Is this a legend of symbolism,
or is there something actual
to it?
Was the biblical adam a giant?
Could it be that all of humanity
is descended
from a race that was
of a much greater stature?
And that there was a time
on earth
when giants were prevalent,
and humans were the anomaly?
When we look
at the modern evolutionary cycle
for human beings,
it's still put on the shoulders
of darwinistic views.
So anything that steps outside
of those viewpoints
is usually greatly challenged.
Mainstream science has had
a very hard time
wrapping their head
around the idea
that there could have been
a lost race,
part extraterrestrial,
part human.
In mythology, the giants
were a fact. They did exist.
What we are missing are
the bones of giants.
From time to time,
anthropologists found
some big bones,
but then, other anthropologists
contradicted it.
But definitely giants did exist
in the past,
and they were the result
of a mixture
between extraterrestrials
and humans.
Do incredible
megalithic structures,
curious religious traditions
repeated in culture
after culture,
and reports
of enormous human remains
represent the remnants of
a lost civilization of giants?
And if so,
could these enormous beings
have actually had a hand
in the creation of humankind?
Perhaps one day soon
conclusive evidence of the link
between humans and giants
will finally come to light,
and we will discover
that within the mythological
tales of our ancestors
lies the true history
of the human race.
