19x16 - The Gods of Greece

[bunniefuu]

It was the cradle

of western civilization

and a culture that credited

everything to the Gods.

The Greeks very much believed

the Gods were physically

part of our lives.

The Greek Gods

were said to possess

incredible technology.

The lightning rod of Zeus,

could wipe out whole cities

in one fell swoop.

The trident of Poseidon

could cause earthquakes.

The Gods imparted

advanced knowledge.

And they even

coupled with humans.

They're creating these demigods

and genetically

manipulating humans.

Were the Greek Gods the product

of our ancestors' imaginations?

Or were they

otherworldly visitors

directing the course

of humanity?

The Greeks clearly said

that the Gods were real.

And you have

to ask the question,

are our ancestors talking

about extraterrestrials?

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.

Greece.

Located in southeastern Europe

with thousands of islands

throughout the Aegean

and Ionian seas,

this popular tourist destination

is visited by roughly

30 million people each year.

They come not only to experience

Greece's Mediterranean climate

and idyllic beaches,

but also to walk

amongst the ruins

of a great empire that thrived

more than 2,000 years ago.

The Greek empire, which lasted

from the ninth century

to the second century BC,

made enormous advances

in science and mathematics

founded the Olympic Games

invented democracy

as a system of governance,

and established the foundation

of western civilization.

We owe virtually

almost every aspect

of our society

to the ancient Greek culture,

what they brought together

at that time.

Certainly,

we in the western world

are the heirs of ancient Greece,

there's no doubt about that.

Thinking about

what happened in Greece,

you've got some

of the greatest minds ever.

These are the people that

created or opened the gateway

to the western mind,

to the way we think today.

People today know

the names of Aristotle,

Plato and Socrates.

In mathematics and sciences,

people know

the names of Archimedes

and also Pythagoras

of the Pythagorean theorem.

So it's amazing that

the ancient Greeks

could illuminate the artistic

and scientific world

for thousands of years to come.

You have the Greek playwrights

Sophocles, Euripides.

You have the architects

The architects of the Parthenon,

Ictinus and Callicrates.

And then you have

Hippocrates, with medicine.

The list is never-ending.

Perhaps just

as extraordinary as the fact

that the towering

intellectual figures

of ancient Greece

are still known today

is that every one of them

credited their accomplishments

to the Gods.

The prevalence of Gods

in the lives of human beings

in classical

mythological stories

tells us that the Greeks

very much believed the Gods

were a part of our lives.

If you were to build a temple,

right,

you needed

the inspiration of these Gods

because you were doing something

that was bigger than human.

So they are the foundation.

They are the inspiration

for human beings

creating works of art

of all stripes

that are far bigger than

human beings themselves.

Greek Gods like Zeus,

Apollo and Athena remain

household names even today

and the myths about their

origins, battles, and adventures

continue to be retold

to modern audiences.

The ancient Greek Gods,

in many ways,

are still alive with us today.

No matter where you are

in the world,

everybody knows

who Apollo is, who Zeus is,

who Aphrodite is.

You'll see it in advertising,

everywhere you look,

you'll see that

there is this influence

of these characters

from Greek mythology.

When I was growing up,

I followed avidly

the American space program

where you had

the Mercury program,

the Gemini program,

the Apollo program.

It's all based

on the Greek Gods.

According to Greek mythology,

before the time of Zeus

and the other iconic Greek Gods

that we're familiar with today,

there was another race

of powerful beings

called the Titans.

For the ancient Greeks,

the Titans were

the first generation of Gods.

They were the six male,

six female Gods

who were born

of the Earth, Gaia,

and heaven coming together.

The word "titan" exists

in our language now

and refers to something

that's big and great.

And that's what the Titans were.

They were

this generation of Gods

that were larger than life.

Ultimately, the Titans

find themselves in a w*r

with the next

generation of Gods,

who we know as the Olympians.

The Olympians are represented

by 12 powerful Gods

led by Zeus,

who is the God of thunder,

and the son of the Titan king Cronus.

Ultimately,

the Titans and the Olympians

are not able to coexist,

and an epic w*r is waged

called the Titanomachy.

Joining the Gods

in this ten-year-long battle

are a number of strange beings,

including humanoid creatures

with hundreds of arms,

and one-eyed giants

called the Cyclops.

In the end, the Olympians

emerge victorious

and establish an earthly base

atop mount Olympus.

There is an actual

mount Olympus in Greece.

Because it is so high,

it's ringed in clouds,

and so that's where

the Gods live

that you are not allowed to see.

We're told it was

shrouded by a mist

so that human eyes

couldn't see it.

And it was a technology center.

You had Hephaestus there,

the Greek God of smithcraft,

alchemy and technology

that was creating

these extraordinary weapons,

the thunderbolt of Zeus,

and all these magical weapons,

the breastplate of Athena.

He also made robots, assistants.

You couldn't describe

a better scenario

if you were talking about

extraterrestrials

coming to Earth

and establishing a mountain

compound or sanctuary.

It sounds very much like some

kind of a m*llitary compound.

Zeus reigned over

all the Gods and humans,

and each of the Olympians

had domain over

certain aspects of existence.

Poseidon ruled the sea.

Athena was

the goddess of wisdom.

Apollo's domain was light,

music and poetry,

as well as healing and prophecy.

Aphrodite was the goddess

of beauty and passion.

And Ares the God of w*r.

The Greek Gods

are purely anthropomorphic.

They're seen to control

natural forces

but they're men and women

up in the infinite ether.

And the olympian Gods

would often come down

and interact with humans.

The Greek Pantheon of Gods

were not Gods

as we think of them today.

They descended from the sky

and they interacted with humans.

So you have to ask the question,

are we really talking about

bona fide Gods

in ancient Greece?

Or was it something else?

Is it possible that

the Pantheon of Greek Gods

didn't consist of a figment

of our ancestors' imagination,

but physical beings

that actually mingled

amongst man back in the day?

Is it possible that the Gods,

who played such a vital role

in the lives of the ancient

Greeks, truly existed?

While it may sound

like a fantastical notion,

ancient astronaut

theorists suggest

it is a very real possibility,

and point to an important site

within the Greek empire

where it was discovered

that at least some aspects

of the ancient myths

are based in real history.

Hisarlik, Turkey. 1870.

German businessman

and amateur archaeologist

Heinrich Schliemann

begins excavations

in this small village

which was an important site

within the Greek empire

more than 2,000 years ago.

For years, he has been

obsessed with finding

the legendary city of Troy

that is at the center

of the Trojan w*r

described in Homer's epic, the Iliad.

The story of the Trojan w*r

is one of the most

important stories

of the Greek mythological cycle.

Our main source is Homer,

but it relies upon much earlier

oral compositions that

probably were going around

in Greek culture

for hundreds of years.

According to the legend,

the Trojan w*r began

when Helen, wife to king Menelaus

of the Greek city-state of Sparta,

fell in love

with Trojan prince Paris

and secretly ran off

with him to Troy.

Her actions sparked

a bloody ten-year w*r

between the trojans

and the Greeks.

The Greeks were able

to defeat the trojans

by sneaking this wooden horse

which was full

of Greek soldiers,

into the city of Troy

where they were able

to wreak havoc

and ultimately, you know,

win the w*r.

One of the aspects of

the stories of the Trojan w*r

that is quite interesting

is that the Gods take sides.

Some are more on

the side of the trojans,

some are more on

the side of the Greeks.

At the time of

Heinrich Schliemann's

1870 excavation,

mainstream scholars

had long maintained

that the ancient Greek story

was a work of fiction

and that Troy never existed.

Heinrich Schliemann was

this extraordinary character

who, I guess, he must've been

quite rebellious as a child

because he wouldn't accept

the given facts.

When Heinrich Schliemann

was growing up,

all of Greek mythology

was mythology.

And Heinrich Schliemann

refused to believe that.

In modern times,

most scholars thought that

Homer and his writing

about the Trojan w*r

was just a good story.

Academic scholars just

did not take Troy seriously.

However, Heinrich Schliemann

took Homer seriously.

Details from the Iliad

had convinced Schliemann

that the remnants of Troy

would be found

in the Turkish village of Hisarlik

beneath a 65-foot-tall

earthen mound.

In may 1873, Schliemann

uncovered a hoard of gold,

valuable artifacts

and jewelry that matched up

with the riches

mentioned in the Iliad,

and declared that

the search was over

He had discovered

the city of Troy.

Lo and behold, he found Troy.

He found a site which matched

everything described in Homer.

So he brought to life

the concept that we can

look at some of these

ancient myths

and realize that there's

a genuine historical

basis to it.

For hundreds of years,

people thought that

the Greeks had achievements

in architecture and sciences,

but when it comes to history,

the story of the Trojan w*r,

the Trojan horse,

"nope. It's all myth."

But then archaeologists

found it.

They found the ruins of Troy.

And we know there was

the Trojan w*r

just like the way

the ancients called it.

When it comes to places

like Troy in Turkey,

it does really suggest that

these myths and legends

and epic tales

may have some reality to them.

Heinrich Schliemann

opened a whole new chapter

in the history books for us.

What had

previously been mythology

was now tangible archaeology.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the discovery of Troy is

highly significant

because it opens the possibility

that other aspects

of Greek mythology are

also based in history.

Are these stories a true history

that we've misinterpreted

as just fantasy?

The ancient Greek Gods were

physical beings that actually

mingled amongst man

in the ancient mythologies.

The ancient astronaut theory

proposes that these encounters

actually happened in real life.

They were here,

not spiritual beings,

they were here with their body.

You can touch them.

They were talking,

they were building,

they were doing something,

they were not spiritual beings.

Is it possible,

as ancient astronaut

theorists suggest,

that Greek mythology

is based on actual events

and encounters

with otherworldly beings?

Perhaps further clues

can be found

by examining just how

the Greek Gods were described.

The Gods in the Greek

mythology are all very,

very human in their attributes.

The Greek Gods are, are jealous.

They're angry.

They're passionate.

They hate each other.

They love each other.

They k*ll,

they att*ck each other,

they att*ck humans, especially.

They have children

out of wedlock.

They wage wars with each other.

They trick each other.

There's nothing

entirely divine about them

other than they have

specific powers.

In the Greek myths,

the powers of the Gods

often come in the forms

of magical devices, weapons,

and flying machines.

They have airships,

they have superpowers

and weapons.

It would seem that the Gods

are using technology.

In my opinion,

it was the technology

of extraterrestrials.

And it is not just a fiction.

It's not just fantasy.

It's not just the imagination.

It is a true story.

The old Greek Gods

were extraterrestrials.

Could it be that

the Greek Gods were Alien beings

who came to Earth

thousands of years ago?

Ancient astronaut

theorists say yes,

and suggest the stories

about them

reveal even more profound truths

about the origins

of the human race.

The Greek island of Crete.

A team of British

archaeologists,

led by sir Arthur Evans,

begins excavating the ruins

of an ancient palace.

In their efforts to

unearth the sprawling complex,

they come across a structure

eerily matching

one of the most fearsome places

in all of Greek mythology

The labyrinth of King Minos.

According to the legend,

the elaborate maze

of the labyrinth

was constructed by order

of King Minos

to entrap a monstrous creature

known as the Minotaur.

This legend of the Minotaur

is one of the most important

and prevalent legends

of the ancient Greek mythology.

One day, King Minos of Crete

angers the God Poseidon.

Poseidon, being angry at Minos,

casts a spell

over his wife Pasiphae,

that she might fall in love

with this great white bull.

And through

the mating of the bull,

the Minotaur is born.

The Minotaur is half human

and half bull as a result.

And he is ferocious,

and he feeds

on the flesh of humans.

The legend of King Minos

and the labyrinth

is something that was seen

to be a fable

until the explorations

of the palace in Crete.

What Arthur Evans uncovered

was an entire palace

that seemed to be dedicated over

to a bull cult.

There were frescos showing

people leaping over bulls.

There were bulls' horns,

bulls' heads everywhere.

The palace is

an elaborate structure,

with moving walls and mazes

actually built into the palace.

It became very clear

upon looking at the structure

of this palace,

that this was

the original labyrinth.

If the structure found in Crete

really is the fabled

labyrinth of King Minos,

then is it possible

that the story of the Minotaur

is based on actual events?

Ancient astronaut

theorists say yes,

but suggest that what is

described in the legend

is not literally

a bull mating with a human.

The story of the Minotaur

is an astounding story

of the creation

of a hybrid being.

And what's interesting

about this is that Daedalus,

this genius engineer,

crafts this

cow-shaped container,

that Minos's wife is to enter

into this container

and mate with this sacred bull.

This sounds like some kind of

genetics lab

that's been created here

for the specific purpose

to mate a human

with a sacred bull.

The Minotaur is

the result of that mating.

So when we peel back

the layers of this story,

we can easily interpret this

as an example

of ancient gene splicing.

There are plenty of myths

that talk about these hybrids

in the tales of Greece.

There was a centaur,

half horse, half man

If we look at the mermaid

A woman and part fish

With genetics,

with experimentation,

maybe these beings

really did walk the Earth,

and our ancestors were depicting

what they saw around them.

In the Greek

mythological tradition,

there are many

instances of the Gods

creating hybrid animals

and even more that involve

their manipulation of humans,

including the creation

of the human race.

According to Greek mythology,

the titan Prometheus formed

figurines of humans out of mud,

and the olympian Athena

breathed life into them.

It is also said that Prometheus

brought us civilization.

That he gave us writing,

he gave us language,

he gave us arithmetic.

The Greek myths go on to speak

of mortals

and immortals comingling

to create hybrids who were

half human and half God.

These sexual interactions

would produce

what they called the demigods,

somebody who was

half man, half God,

or half woman, half God.

And these demigods became

very, very powerful

in their own right.

Much like the myths

of ancient Greece,

stories of humans mixed

with the bloodlines of Gods

appear in many cultures

throughout the ancient world

from the deities known

as the Anunnaki

depicted

in early Sumerian writings,

to the biblical book of Enoch,

which tells of fallen angels,

called the watchers,

who mated with humans

to create the Nephilim.

We are told that the sons of God

came down to Earth

and mated with Earth women.

Now, this is in all mythology,

whether it's Greek,

whether it's Sumerian,

uh, whether it's Hindu.

And so,

we have to ask ourselves,

these are new human beings

that are being created.

How is this happening?

According to ancient

astronaut theorists,

the parallels in these accounts

may be evidence of

extraterrestrials

intentionally mingling

their DNA with mankind.

The Greek Gods can be placed

in the same category

as the Anunnaki,

the guardians of the sky,

and the so-called watchers.

They're all the same.

Meaning extraterrestrials

observed humankind

and also guided our development.

We have the curious stories

of the Greek Gods

creating these heroes

or demigods.

And so we can kind of see here

how the Gods

or the extraterrestrials are

genetically manipulating humans.

Could the Greek stories

of the demigods

serve as evidence

of an extraterrestrial agenda

to genetically evolve and guide

the development of humankind?

Ancient astronaut

theorists say yes,

and they suggest even more

compelling evidence

that there was

an otherworldly presence

in ancient Greece

can be found by examining

the country's oldest structures,

which were said

to have been built

by a race of giants.

The ancient Greek story

of King Minos first appears

in Homer's epic poem the Iliad,

and takes place around 2500 BC,

roughly 1,300 years before

the rise of the Greek empire.

According to Greek mythology,

this is "the golden age,"

the time when humans shared

the Earth with the Gods

As well as many other strange

creatures like the Minotaur.

You're talking about

tons of giants,

tons of monsters,

tons of scary beings.

Cyclopes,

you've got hybrids of monsters,

but they're all

existing together

somehow in the same place.

In the ancient texts,

Greece was home

to an advanced society

during this

so-called golden age,

and ancient astronaut

theorists suggest

remnants of that civilization

may be located

near the city of Argos,

where there are ruins

of a mysterious

Megalithic structure

that is unlike

any other structure in Greece.

Outside of Argos there's

a really beautifully built

pyramidal building

at Hellinikon,

which is a total mystery.

Really, really,

very, very mysterious.

The architecture looks

archaic

and it's unique

in that sense.

It's a place where you can

actually go into the pyramid.

The pyramid of Hellinikon

is quite small.

It's maybe only 23 feet

by 30 feet

by maybe 12 feet tall.

But it's incredibly interesting.

We don't really know

what its purpose was,

and even more controversial

is the dating of it.

In 1995, scientists working

at the academy of Athens

dated samples from the site

using a new

and experimental method called

optical thermoluminescence.

The results were staggering.

The pyramid at Hellinikon,

according to their results

is one of the oldest

pyramids on Earth.

The pyramid of Hellinikon

dates to 2720 BC.

The Hellinikon pyramid

is thought to be

originally built

by the Mycenaeans, but

If the dating is correct

of 2720 BC,

then this is

over a thousand years older.

So we have to question

who really built this.

The dating of the pyramid

of Hellinikon places it

in the same era

as the so-called golden age

when Gods and strange creatures

were said to exist on Earth.

Curiously,

just eight miles to the north

is another structure

that does not match

the construction style

of the Greek empire,

but features masonry

strikingly similar

to that of the pyramid

of Hellinikon.

Standing within the ancient site

of Mycenae is an incredible

Megalithic structure

called the treasury of Atreus.

The treasury of Atreus

at Mycenae was

this massive structure

built into the hillside

with huge blocks,

conglomerate stone

being brought into place,

including the lintel

that goes over the threshold

going into the tomb

which weighs 250 tons.

What's telling about Mycenae

is that we have

multiple

construction styles there.

And the oldest one is

the most sophisticated.

And the same

masonry style exists

at the pyramid of Hellinikon,

about a ten-minute drive

from present-day Mycenae.

So, clearly, the two were part

of the same kingdom at the time.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

the notion that these

Megalithic structures could both

date back more than

4,700 years is extraordinary.

But even more intriguing

is the fact

that the Greek stories say

they were built

by a race of

giant humanoid beings

who lived during the golden age.

According to the ancient Greeks,

the treasury of Atreus

at Mycenae

was created by the Cyclopes.

Huge, giant builders

that had a single, circular eye

in the middle of their forehead,

and they were credited

with lifting these

huge blocks into place.

In Greek mythology, the Cyclops

were related to the Titans,

the first generation of Gods,

and were master craftsman.

They created Zeus's thunderbolt,

Poseidon's trident,

and Hades' cap of invisibility.

And they were credited

with building

the ancient megaliths of Greece.

The Cyclops were

thought to be master masons

and advanced metallurgists,

and also were able

to quarry stone

in a profoundly brilliant way.

If you look around

the site of Mycenae,

you see amazing construction

all over the site.

So, is there some reality

to these stories?

Is there actual giants

who were involved

in the construction

of sites like Mycenae?

As far as ancient astronaut

theorists are concerned,

the pyramid of Hellinikon

and the treasury of Atreus

provide further evidence

that the golden age of the Gods

was more than just a myth.

This idea is not something

that was just

pulled out of thin air.

In fact, it also connects

to other stories of Gods

around the world.

Many of the ancient Egyptian

texts that have been translated

speak of a so-called

golden age of ancient Egypt

at a time when human beings

mingled side by side

with the so-called Gods.

Now, this is something

that has been recorded orally

and also in a written language

for thousands of years,

around the world.

And you have

to ask the question,

are our ancestors

all talking about the same

visiting extraterrestrials?

Is it possible

that the structures

like the treasury of Atreus

and the pyramid of Hellinikon

were built during a time

when humans shared the Earth

with visitors

from another world?

Perhaps further clues

can be found

by examining another

mysterious Megalithic site,

where the Greeks claimed

they could speak directly

to the Gods.

Located on the slopes

of mount Parnassus,

this site was a religious center

throughout the entire timeline

of the Greek empire.

When Homer wrote the Iliad

in the eighth century BC,

when Socrates established

western philosophy

in the fifth century BC,

and when Alexander the Great

conquered Egypt

in the fourth century BC,

Delphi was the place

where people went

to communicate directly

with the Gods.

Delphi is this extraordinarily

powerful place.

I mean, you can feel it

when you go there today.

Delphi became hugely important

throughout classical antiquity.

Everybody,

especially the ruling elite,

would go and they would

pose a question.

Nobody would go to w*r,

nobody would even start

a trade excursion,

nobody would do anything,

without going

and consulting the oracle.

And the oracle would

channel basically an answer

then from the Gods.

The oracle was a high priestess

known as the Pythia,

who held court

at the temple of Apollo,

which lies

mostly in ruins today.

According to ancient texts,

those seeking counsel

from the Gods

were put in a meditative state

before entering the innermost

sanctuary of the temple,

where they would offer gifts

and present their questions

to the oracle.

The way the oracle at Delphi

functioned was

the Pythia, the priestess

sat over a crevice which was

within the temple of Apollo.

She would inhale whatever fumes

were coming up from the crevice,

and she would then get

an answer from Apollo,

a divine answer from above.

There was a cr*ck

in the stone there,

and there was a kind of vapor

of gas that was coming,

which put her

into an altered state.

Although we do not know

what the altered state was like,

maybe she was

tapping into something.

Current research

on the Pythia at Delphi

is asking the question,

was there perhaps

some kind of psychedelic

connection there?

According to ancient

astronaut theorists,

the notion that chemically

altering the mind

might facilitate a connection

with otherworldly beings

is supported by experiments

with a powerful hallucinogen

called Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT.

Between 1990 and 1995,

scientists at the university

of New Mexico

administered DM

to 60 volunteers

and were surprised to find

that many of them had

very similar visions,

including encounters

with strange beings

who reportedly said,

"now we can

communicate with you."

Recent research suggests

that hallucinogenic experiences

actually open portals

of communication

with otherworldly beings.

And perhaps this is what was

going on back at Delphi as well.

In the Greek

mythological tradition,

Zeus not only chose

the exact location

where the Pythia would receive

messages from the Gods

He also placed

a mysterious object

at the oracle

called the Omphalos.

Just what the Omphalos was

remains a mystery,

since it reportedly

disappeared in 395 AD.

But a Roman replica of the stone

has been preserved

at the museum of Delphi,

supporting the notion

that it truly existed.

It's a fascinating stone,

it's very beautiful.

And it, it appears to be covered

in a type of crisscross pattern.

It's possible

that the Omphalos stone was

some type

of communication device

between the people on the ground

and the people in the sky.

The ancient Greeks built

their famous temple at Delphi

around this Omphalos stone,

and it was the power center

of the world.

And this Omphalos stone was

also supposed to be a vehicle

for communicating with the Gods.

So you have to wonder,

was it really

some special stone

that could help people

communicate

with extraterrestrials?

Is it possible

that the ancient Greeks

were given specific instructions

on where to build

the temple of Apollo

by an otherworldly visitor?

One who utilized both

the vapors from the Earth

and some mysterious

technological device

to facilitate

a means of communication?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and suggest that Delphi's

otherworldly connection

was established long before

the rise of the Greek empire,

during the so-called golden age

when the Gods were said

to be present on Earth.

As evidence,

they point to mysterious ruins

that feature the same type

of Cyclopean masonry

found at Mycenae

and the pyramid of Hellinikon.

Officially, Delphi is dated

to about the sixth century BC,

but there are earlier

constructions at the site.

And these are the gigantic

Cyclopean and polygonal walls

that are not just

in the main part of the site.

If you actually

look around carefully,

you find them half buried down

near the entrance

at the lowest levels,

and it really does suggest

that the site could be

much, much older.

And this was used for

not hundreds,

possibly thousands of years.

According to the ancient Greeks,

figures like Zeus,

Athena and Apollo

continued to guide them

well beyond the golden age.

And ancient astronaut

theorists suggest

these otherworldly beings

inspired an extraordinary

moment in history

that would shape the world

for centuries to come.

Starting with

the harnessing of fire

hundreds of thousands

of years ago,

there have been moments

in human history

of sudden and

significant advancement

like the renaissance,

the industrial revolution,

and the founding

of the United States.

But some scholars believe

the most significant

period of all

occurred in Athens

around 2,500 years ago.

In the span of

a single lifetime,

dozens of history's

most brilliant minds emerged

and achieved

monumental advancements

that would reverberate

through the ages.

It was a time known as

the Greek miracle.

It goes almost without saying

that without ancient Greece,

and without the so-called

Greek miracle,

civilization today

would not be the same.

Some of the most profound

philosophers lived at this time.

Plato, for instance, he created

these remarkable 3D geometries.

The dodecahedron.

Pythagoras related

the harmony of the cosmos

and all within it

to mathematical formulas

and geometry.

And different philosophers

came up with different ideas

looking at this much more

kind of practical way

of understanding life

and the cosmos.

You had Socrates,

Hippocrates, Aristotle,

Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus,

and the list goes on.

They all lived at the same time.

So my question is

is it possible that

they had a direct connection

with the physical

extraterrestrials

that were monitoring Earth

at that time?

And my answer to that

is a resounding yes.

Whether the Greek miracle

happened by chance

or by extraterrestrial design,

one thing is certain

The accomplishments

of the ancient Greeks

helped to shape the world

for centuries to come.

We see and we experience

the gifts of the ancient Greeks

every day in our modern lives

in the 21st century.

They gave us everything

from democracy

to the most extraordinary

architecture and art.

We see it in our nation's

capital, in Washington, D.C.

The extraordinary

Greek temple architecture.

You go to Paris,

you go to London,

all the architecture comes

from ancient Greece.

And then you learned about

the mathematics

that made these monuments

possible.

All of that

coming from ancient Greece.

Anybody who does science

will be still using terms

that were coined in archaic

and classical Greece.

We're still using

ancient Greek words

and concepts.

So the western world is very,

very much indebted to,

to ancient Greece.

If it's true that

almost everything

of the western world

that we have today

has its birthplace

in ancient Greece,

then perhaps it would mean

that modern civilization itself

can be traced back

to these extraterrestrials,

these Gods of Olympus.

Could it be that the incredible

mythological tales

of ancient Greece

tell the story

of humankind's true origins?

And that the world

we live in today is the product

of extraterrestrial visitation

that took place

thousands of years ago?

Perhaps we will

receive the answer

when visitors descend

from the sky once again,

and we come face-to-face

with our Alien ancestors.
