December 21st, 2012.

According to some researchers and

scholars, this is the day when the Mayan

calendar suggests the world will come to

an end.

But there is another equally curious

aspect to the Mayan calendar. Not when

it ends, but when it begins.

more than 3,000 years before the Mayan

civilization even existed.

>> The origin of the long count calendar,

why they created day one to be August

13th, 3,114 BC is still a mystery.

It's obviously backdated. There were no

Maya back then. So, why did they

backward project 3,000 years into the

past? Based on the things we have

learned about the Maya, it should be

something astronomical.

One of the ideas about why they

backdated it to 3,114

BC is because some kind of cataclysm

happened then.

Recent researchers discovered that an

asteroid or multiple asteroids did hit

an area around Austria and Europe.

And that could have caused a blackout of

the sky for several years. And this is

then when the calendar began.

>> Scientists at Harvard and Princeton have

said that this massive global worldwide

catastrophe,

a mass glaciation of the planet occurred

when this age of the Mayan calendar

begins. This happened not within tens of

thousands of years or hundreds of years,

but within weeks, within days. Literally

this took everyone by surprise.

>> According to the Mayans, we are coming

to the end of the fifth age. There have

been four catastrophes before us. Each

one ended up with a destruction of the

earth.

And now we are just coming to the end of

the fifth age of the Mayans, which will

end now in December of 2012. According

to the Mayan predictions, this will also

end in a giant catastrophe.

The western view of time is very linear.

When we think about

life,

we see it as this linear projection

heading out into the future. For the

Maya, they viewed life very cyclally.

Is it possible the Mayan calendar ends

on December 21, 2012? Because they

expected that the fifth age of man will

end much in the same way as it began.

Were they privy to some ancient

knowledge that has been lost in time?

And if so, can proof be found by

examining similar doomsday predictions

from other ancient cultures?

Egyptian time coding in the Great

Pyramid of Giza is telling us that there

would be a series of water-based

catastrophes between late 2004 through

about 2006. And look what happened.

We have the Asian tsunami which kills

about 250,000 people.

We have Hurricane Katrina.

Then there's actually this trough called

the River of Fire, which is warning us

of some massive cosmic event, maybe a

solar flare or what have you, that then

washes humanity back into this pit.

In addition to the eerie similarity

between the Mayan and Egyptian

prophecies,

researchers have also noticed a

connection in the doomsday predictions

of the Hopi Indians of the American

Southwest.

The Hopi people of the Native American

nations believe that we are in the fifth

age of man and that this is an age of

purification and that it is near the end

time. The Hopi believe that unless all

the people of the earth can come down

and live more in harmony with themselves

and with the planet that there's going

to be a great destruction coming

in India. The ancient Buddhist and Hindu

astronomical manuscript Surya Sedanta

predicts that mankind will soon reach

the end of the Kaliuga, the final age of

man.

The male divinity kali that is referred

to in the end of days in the Mahabarata

refers to a time of great chaos and

discord. And depending on how you read

the dating in the script, we're well

into it.

Even the Christian Bible predicts in

great detail a horrific fiery

apocalypse.

The Christian writers on the end of time

uh focus on certain things that the

Jewish people return to the holy land

and reclaim it which happened some years

ago.

That the nation thereby established

would finally claim Jerusalem which has

happened some years ago. That there

would be a great expansion of the

territory uh until it was a very large

nation.

Finally, it is the claiming of the

temple which is on temple mount which is

holy in Islam. But it must be taken and

restored to its original condition. It

is that place that the Messiah will

actually come to rule the earth before

the end of days.

>> The idea that we are living in end

times, not necessarily the end of the

world but the end of a world is quite

global.

It is one of the best known stories of

the Bible

and variations of this ancient tale can

be found in cultures throughout the

world.

From ancient Hindu teachings and

Mesopotamian legends to Mesoamerican

myths, it is written that the god sent a

powerful flood to wipe out all of

humanity.

God is angry at human beings because

human beings have not been behaving

properly. They have been violating God's

laws.

Certainly the most famous of these is a

legend of Noah.

In Genesis, God becomes so disgusted

with the behavior of his creation that

he says he repenteth of making them

and he brings forth the deluge.

In stories much older than the story of

Noah in the story of Gilgamesh, the

Sumerian legend, the council of gods

brought the flood.

In Plato's writing, Zeus brought the

flood. In Hinduism, God had instructed

that one day the whole earth would be

flooded. When that happens, you build a

boat and you gather the people uh some

animals and I will save you.

The story of the great flood is often

considered to be mythological,

but similar stories of a cataclysmic

flood can be found in approximately

1,200 different cultures around the

world. And many anthropologists say that

because these stories are so numerous

and date back thousands of years, it is

unlikely that they originated from a

single source.

When we find similar myths all over the

world like the myth of the flood then we

have to ask ourselves are these things

that human beings came up with

independently because let's say there

was a great flood in ancient history

that has been memorialized in people's

mythologies because it was such a

cataclysmic event that people looked for

a religious explanation for it.

The fact that there are ancient stories

that speak of the same flood, it almost

leads into that direction that at some

point some cataclysm happened that not

just affected one geographic area of the

world, but the entire planet.

If a cataclysmic flood really did occur,

killing most life on the planet, what

could have caused it? And is there any

physical evidence to suggest that it

actually happened?

Scientists say answers to both questions

may be buried deep beneath the sea.

The Indian Ocean.

According to the five scientists who

make up the Hollisine impact working

group, this area 900 mi southeast of

Madagascar is where an enormous asteroid

struck the Earth thousands of years ago.

This impact may have been so large that

it triggered enormous tsunamis that

flooded inland areas across the region.

An event the local inhabitants would

have perceived as a great flood. Since

so many ancient cultures have a flood

story or a flood mythology, this is

probably based in some sort of real

event

and an asteroid landing in the ocean in

the right place triggering a tsunami

would then lead to one of these major

floods.

The Holosene Group says evidence for a

catastrophic asteroid strike lies in

what they believe is an 18-m wide crater

on the floor of the Indian Ocean just

west of the island of Madagascar.

Hollisine Group scientists believe

further evidence supporting their theory

also lies in what are called chevrons,

ancient deposits of sediment and fossils

in both Madagascar and Australia.

What was so out of place and unusual

about the chevrons was that they weren't

landbased

debris, but rather it was the kind of

debris you get from an ocean seab

bottom. Things like marine animals,

marine fossils. They've also found

what's really the smoking gun of any

asteroid or comet impact, and that's

micro beads. The only way they're formed

is by the extreme heat of an impact

melting the rock. The rock being thrown

into the air or water and cooling into

these nice little spheres.

Planet Earth.

Although there are many theories about

its age and origin,

one fact is certain.

Our planet is billions of years old

and mankind's existence on its surface

is relatively recent and fragile.

Throughout history, the biggest threat

to mankind has come in the form of

natural disasters.

But does that mean the world will end on

December 21st, 2012?

Recent evidence has shown that the

ancient Mayans possessed knowledge about

the universe and its fate that we are

only just beginning to understand.

According to the Mayans, the world has

already ended four times before this

coming cataclysm. It ended before in in

fire and in ice and in water.

And this next cataclysm could be a

combination of all that or even

something completely different.

>> Not only did the Mayans know our place

in the universe, but they also knew how

old the universe was. Mayans put the

date of the universe at 16.4 billion

years. Modern science today puts it at

about 14 and a half, maybe 15. And yet,

the better our technology gets, the more

we begin to realize that the Mayans were

correct.

Is it possible then as the Mayans

predicted that the Earth and Sun will

align with a black hole on December

21st, 2012?

And if so, will such a cosmic event have

dire consequences for our world?

The Tibetans believe that the sun is a

lens

that it activates and amplifies things

behind it or things coming in front of

it. If that's the case on December 21st,

you have an energy that's coming from

the center of the galaxy that comes from

the dark rift that comes from the womb

of the galaxy, if you will, that is now

going to be amplified by the sun that is

going to have some kind of effect on

humanity.

I think the Mayans had an understanding

of celestial mechanics. They understood

that the sun was going through change.

And so my belief is that something will

happen with the sun.

>> Well, we know from past experience that

solar flares can interfere with

electronic equipment. We could see the

power grid go down, for example. We

could see major things change in modern

society that pretty much would

us. But if we're talking about losing

that ability for any extended period of

time, I dare say we'd be talking about a

scenario that would result in major

changes and quite possibly some very ill

effects.

Some researchers speculate that the

galactic alignment might change or even

reverse how the Earth spins on its axis.

by altering its magnetic field.

A sign of the magnetic field changing

quickly would mean something has to

happen dramatically to the angular

momentum of the stuff inside the earth,

which might also mean something happens

drastically to the spin of the earth

itself. And once you change the rotation

of the earth, you do have a chance of

causing huge effects.

It's like having a whole bunch of

massive earthquakes at the same time.

We talk about a magnitude 7 or a

magnitude 8 or magnitude 9 earthquake as

being destructive beyond imagination.

But what would a magnitude 12 or

magnitude 20 earthquake do?

Could it replace the land with the sea

and the sea with the land? We're talking

about events that we've never

experienced before. So, some of these

changes that people are talking about

that could occur could be life-changing

or they could be life-ending.

Spitsburgen, Norway. On this remote

archipelago, not far from the Arctic

Ocean,

lies the Spalbard Global Seed Vault

known as the Doomsday Vault. This

repository for the DNA of plants,

animals, and humans, can withstand

nearly any cataclysm, including a flood,

an earthquake, or a nuclear blast.

>> The Solvard seed bankank is a structure

or a facility that's sunk into the

perafrost. It's essentially an

international effort to deposit as many

seeds um particularly seeds of of crop

plant varieties to help to preserve

genetic diversity.

Are we creating our own modern-day ark?

One that instead of housing two of every

living creature on Earth will house the

seeds of every kind of plant life.

>> The Swallbard seed vault has been

designed with some sort of cataclysm in

mind. The idea is that in the event of

some catastrophic event, it would still

stay cold and preserve seeds for

thousands of years. It's sort of this

last hope for for genetic diversity. The

Spalbard is just one of several

biological storehouses located around

the world.

England's Millennium Seed Bankank is

even larger. While the US federal

government has built a similar facility

in Fort Collins, Colorado, scientists

say one reason for these repositories is

that another large asteroid similar to

the one that is believed to have caused

the Great Flood will eventually strike

Earth. It's just a matter of time.

>> You always have the risk, and of course

we've seen it here on Earth, of having

large asteroids or comets hit the planet

and cause tremendous ecological damage.

Right now, all our genetic eggs are in

one basket. Whether it's a comet or

asteroid hitting us, we are in jeopardy.

In February of 2013, an asteroid large

enough to take out all of New York City

came within 18,000 m of Earth. Another

has been predicted to strike the Earth

sometime in the next 20 years. But if a

great flood or some other global

catastrophe were to occur today, are we

prepared to survive it?

And if there really are extraterrestrial

beings watching over the Earth, are they

likely to be the cause of such a

cataclysm?

Or will they simply be observers sitting

quietly by and letting nature take its

course? If extraterrestrial gods are

there watching us and either aware of

future catastrophes or are capable of

making them themselves,

then perhaps we need to be prepared for

that. We live in a precarious point

where at any time we could go through

another catastrophe and you have to ask

yourself if the extraterrestrials

themselves may not create that.

One of the explanations for why

extraterrestrials might seek to destroy

humankind is because they treat us as

their property.

They treat us as their offspring and

they're able to make decisions about

humanity based on their needs. So

perhaps their needs were satisfied and

they decided they didn't want humankind

around anymore. So it's just as easy to

wipe them out as it is to continue to

perpetuate their existence.

The evolution of humans on this planet

has been completely and totally an

experiment on the part of

extraterrestrials.

If survival is the bottom line, they are

trying to get us over some kind of a

finish line when we're still alive.

Our survival was ensured by

extraterrestrials way back in the remote

past because we are their direct

offspring.

We are their product. They in fact have

a vested interest in our survival. Are

there extraterrestrials watching over us

even to this day?

not to destroy us, but simply to see if

we can prevail over the Earth's next

great cataclysm.

It is a question we may not have much

time to think about except to consider

how much or how many will survive.

Megiddo, Israel.

Located 11 miles from Nazareth, this

ancient city is mentioned more than a

dozen times in the Bible, most

prominently in the prophetic book of

Revelation.

According to the religious text, it is

outside this city on the so-called

plains of Megiddo where the forces of

the Almighty God will wage a final

battle against Satan and the forces of

evil. The book of Revelation is

certainly one of the most complicated

books in the Bible and it belongs to a

separate set of material. It's called

apocalyptic.

It is a book that gives visions of the

future to come.

There's a battle that will take place in

a valley in Israel called Megiddo or

Haredo. Thus, Armageddon we get the

term.

Satan himself will gather the armies of

the world to Megadow to fight Jesus

Christ.

Satan takes on a more physical

appearance,

uses various technologies to enslave

more and more of mankind.

Ultimately, he becomes a geopolitical

force, basically essentially a dictator

of the entire world.

The book of Revelation further describes

that this battle will be fought in

heaven and on earth.

Angels will descend from the sky.

Demons will spread out across the land

to destroy with fiery swords

and the almighty God will rain

destruction down upon earth.

The Book of the Revelation is really a

pretty terrifying document if we're to

look at it and think that these things

could happen literally.

I mean, when you look at what's

happening in the book, we have

cataclysms on the earth. We have

earthquakes. We have fire raining from

the sky. We have angels doing battle in

heaven.

And then repeatedly, we have Satan

coming back.

But could it be that this biblical

prophecy isn't a doomsday prediction of

cataclysm and war?

But it has another even more profound

interpretation.

The book of Revelation gives us some of

the clearest depictions of what not a

few moderns would call extraterrestrial

activity. Think about it. We have

supernatural beings flying through the

cosmos, blowing trumpets, casting fire

upon the earth. We have great conflict

between light and darkness, good and

evil.

There's a cosmic dualism going on here

that involves in the end the reassertion

of divine authority over those weward

angels who had gone astray so long ago.

extraterrestrial combat.

Could the Bible's book of Revelation

really be referring to a galactic war?

One waged over the ultimate fate of

mankind?

If so, who or what is Satan?

Is he a demon, the devil, the

personification of evil? Or was he in

fact a benevolent extraterrestrial

being?

One who stole technology from alien

beings in an effort to lead early man

out of darkness and ignorance?

If so, then why did Satan become a force

for evil? Does he seek to punish mankind

for siding with our creator against him?

Perhaps he is testing us using alien

technology to modify human behavior in

ways we have yet to understand.

>> He's this idea of an adversary, this

idea um of a liar or a tester, combined

with this concept of Lucifer, the fallen

angel, combined with this leader of the

watchers who also leads a rebellion. And

I think that ultimately what we find is

that Lucifer is a conflation,

a character who is a composite of all of

these different ideas and different

characters.

It's important for us to remember that

Satan is part of the class of angels

called saraphim.

The seraraphim were sent to earth as

benefactors of humankind bringing

wisdom.

The church has created this evil monster

out of Satan perhaps even out of thin

air when in reality Satan's entire

mission was about bringing knowledge and

wisdom to humanity and in fact caring

about humanity not seeking to destroy

humankind.

In a sense, Satan's not such a bad guy.

You cannot have the light without the

dark. You can't have right without

wrong.

And we have to learn these things for

ourselves.

And ultimately through choice, wrong and

right, we grow and we become who we are.

And ultimately that is to be

like our makers to to become gods

ourselves.

>> On February 19th, 2015,

NASA's Dawn spacecraft sent back to

Earth images of mysterious bright lights

reflecting off the surface of a dwarf

planet called seriesir.

While some scientists have suggested

that the lights are the result of

something natural like an ice field or

escaping gas, higher resolution images

have failed to uncover the true cause of

the reflections.

4 months later in June, the Dawn

spacecraft captured even more incredible

images. images that reveal what looks

like a threem tall pyramid.

These are possibly technological

structures.

So this brings up the question, is it

possible that these were built by

extraterrestrials?

Instead of looking at the creation myths

from Sumer as mythology, maybe this is

scientific data that we should be

revisiting.

might further exploration of series

reveal evidence that it once served as

refuge for the survivors of an alien

war.

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and

claim that according to the Samrian

texts, these waring extraterrestrial

factions also took refuge on another

planet, Earth.

And they propose that stories found

throughout the world of gods waging

battle in the skies

suggest that this otherworldly conflict

continued once the survivors reached

their new home planet

all over the world. We're seeing

evidence of these ancient wars took

place. They took place in Greece. They

took place in Norse mythology all

throughout Mesoamerican symbolism.

And consistently what we're seeing is

some sort of battle for control over the

earth.

When you look at many of these ancient

tales, it would seem to be that the gods

are waring amongst themselves over us.

This lends to an intriguing possibility

that we are the descendants of the

winners and that there are certain

groups that are pushing for us and

really rallying because in fact we are

their direct descendants. They created

us through some sort of genetic

engineering. And then there's other

factions that want to wipe us off the

face of the earth completely. And those

wars may still be being fought right

now.

Are humans the descendants of a race of

alien beings whose home planet was

destroyed thousands of years ago?

Might the ancient stories of waring gods

really be accounts of separate

extraterrestrial factions that were

fighting for control of the earth and

may still be fighting for it today?
