Et si la vie sur Terre commençait dans l'espace ? Des millions de personnes acceptent la théorie selon laquelle des formes de vie intelligentes ont visité la Terre il y a des milliers d'années et ont été vénérées comme des Dieux par l'homme primitif. Des monuments comme Stonehenge et l'île de Pâques sont-ils les derniers vestiges d'une ancienne visite extraterrestre ? Des super structures inexplicables à la connaissance du système solaire, des mathématiques et même de la capacité de produire de l'électricité, cette émission spéciale explore les preuves des influences surhumaines sur l'homme ancien et se lance dans une recherche de réponses à travers le monde. C'est une enquête sur une théorie que certains pensent ne pas être vraie, mais beaucoup conviennent qu'elle ne peut être ignorée.
1Chars, Dieux et au-delà
Erich von Däniken, auteur de cette série, présente dans ce pilote sa théorie sur les extraterrestres. Il pense que des êtres venus d'un autre monde et ayant un niveau de civilisation avancé sont venus sur terre rencontrer les humains primitifs pour leur donner la connaissance du système solaire, les concepts de l'ingénierie et des mathématiques et ce qui est devenu le fondement des religions et cultures de l'humanité. Erich von Däniken prétend que des monuments anciens comme les lignes de Nazca, les pyramides de Gizeh et les statues Moaï de l'île de Pâques, attestent cette théorie.
2Visages des dieux
Les récits d'anges et de géants de l'Antiquité sont examinés pour déterminer si ces êtres découlent de mythologies ou de visites extraterrestres et d'expérimentations sur l'ADN humain. Des découvertes bizarres dans le monde entier peuvent être la clé pour obtenir les réponses.
3The Ultimate Evidence: Beyond Nazca
L'animateur de la série et théoricien des anciens astronautes, Giorgio Tsoukalos, explore le mystère des lignes de Nazca, découvertes dans la région désertique du sud du Pérou. Des centaines de lignes gigantesques, certaines en forme d'animaux, de motifs géométriques et même d'un être ressemblant à un extraterrestre, s'étendent sur des kilomètres sur une vaste section de la plaine aride. Les chercheurs sont divisés quant à savoir qui les a tracées et pourquoi. Certains théoriciens des anciens astronautes pensent que les marques massives ont un lien extraterrestre, et peut-être que les anciens de la région ont créé ces figures gigantesques en hommage aux Dieux qui les ont visités. Alors que la région a été abandonnée il y a près de 2000 ans, des dépouilles d'anciens habitants de Nazca ont été retrouvées, comprenant d'étranges crânes allongés. Cela pourrait-il être la preuve qu'il y a vraiment eu des contacts avec le « peuple du ciel », comme le décrivent les anciennes légendes ?
4The Ultimate Evidence: The Monoliths
Ancient Astronaut theorist, Giorgio Tsoukalos, shares his insight on massive stone structures and strange, giant figures known as Monoliths. What compelled ancient man to move colossal stones, in some cases weighing thousands of pounds, and to build remarkably similar stone monuments all around the world? From the jungles of Costa Rica to England's rural countryside, ancient people achieved extraordinary feats of construction without advanced tools or technology. Is it possible that extraterrestrials instructed the ancients to build these complex structures? Or were our ancestors driven to create these monoliths in order to reconnect with celestial travelers who once walked the Earth? Could ancient monoliths hold advanced, extraterrestrial powers we have yet to realize? And if so, just what will happen when we unlock the mystery of the monoliths?
5The Ultimate Evidence: The Tesla Experiment
Giorgio Tsoukalos presents the fascinating story of Nikola Tesla, one of the most prolific inventors of the 20th century--and the man that actually electrified the world. Tesla is credited with shepherding mankind to a new industrial era and laying the groundwork for today's technological age. The genius inventor claimed he could visualize his inventions in full-detail and manipulate them in his mind. And he also claimed to have direct communication with intelligent beings on other planets. Is it possible that this alleged mad scientist, so far ahead of his time, was actually a human "receiver"? A being tapped to advance mankind--and pave the way for a future reunion with our alien ancestors?
6The Ultimate Evidence: Alien Power Plants
Did our ancestors have an understanding of how to generate power thousands of years before modern man? Ancient Astronaut theorist, Giorgio Tsoukalos, theorizes that some of the most famous ruins on Earth may be long-forgotten power sources that hold a celestial connection. From the discovery of an ancient battery in Iraq and the depiction of a primitive light bulb in Egypt, to a wireless power grid that may have reached around the world, there is evidence suggesting ancient man had access to electricity, which, until recently, was believed to be a modern day phenomenon. But if our ancestors did possess power, where did they gain this knowledge? Is it possible that they received this wisdom from an extraterrestrial source as ancient astronaut theorists contend? And, if so, why did the power stop flowing?
7The Ultimate Evidence: The Mystery of Puma Punku
Ancient Astronaut theorist, Giorgio Tsoukalos explores one of the most compelling and mysterious locations on Earth, Puma Punku. Forty miles west of La Paz, Bolivia--high in the Andes Mountains--lie the mysterious ancient ruins of Puma Punku. Spread across a desert plateau at an altitude over 12,000 feet, the megalithic stones found scattered here are among the largest on the planet. Mainstream scientists believe native people used primitive stone tools to construct the site approximately 2000 years ago. But in 1945, archaeologist Arthur Posnansky proposed that Puma Punku was much, much older--perhaps going back to 15,000 BC. And Ancient Astronaut theorists point to the intricate stonework and interlocking qualities of the megalithic stone blocks as evidence of the use of advanced technology--technology of an otherworldly origin. Could Puma Punku have been built by extraterrestrials?
8The Ultimate Evidence: Alien Messages
Giorgio Tsoukalos decodes some of the most compelling evidence for Ancient Astronaut theory found in mysterious carvings, symbols, and structures that are strikingly similar on opposite ends of the Earth. Egyptian pyramids aligned with the stars of Orion's belt match up perfectly with pyramidal structures in Central Mexico. A sacred symbol common to India appears carved into the desert floor of Peru. And a modern day crop circle in England is an identical match for a design carved on a stone found just outside Roswell, New Mexico. Is this mere coincidence? Or could the answers to mankind's greatest questions about our origins and our future actually be hidden in plain sight, disguised in the form of alien messages?
9The Ultimate Evidence: Aliens and the Lost Ark
Ancient Astronaut theorist, Giorgio Tsoukalos, explores the construction, history and technological abilities of the Ark of the Covenant--one of the most sought after religious relics of all times and far more than just a box that contained the Ten Commandments. The biblical stories surrounding the Ark speak of a device with divine powers that was able to produce food, take down stonewalls, kill those that come in contact with it, and provide direct communication to God. Are these stories mere myth? Or did the Ark of the Covenant possess extraordinary powers? Just what was this incredible device? Were its powers the result of divine miracles? Or were they the product of advanced, extraterrestrial technology?
10The Ultimate Evidence: Aliens and the Creation of Man
Why are humans so different from every other species on Earth? Did we evolve from apes--or is our intelligence the result of contact with an otherworldly source? Ancient Astronaut theorist, Giorgio Tsoukalos, presents the latest scientific and archeological information on who we are and where we may have come from. Charles Darwin's theory of Natural Selection theorizes that man evolved from apes over millions of years. But new evidence suggests that 50,000 years ago humans experienced enormous changes some call the "Big Bang" of the brain. Could unexplained advances in human evolution be the work of interstellar beings? Might the biblical story of Adam and Eve be a re-telling of extraterrestrial events? And why do 5,000-year-old chronicles, and 10,000-year-old petroglyphs, link our ancient ancestors with star beings? Might evidence of alien contact help unlock the mystery of the Creation of Man?
