Ancient Aliens - The Gods of Greece

Episode Date: March 12, 2026

More than 3,000 years ago, the ancient Greeks built an empire that is considered the birthplace of Western Civilization, and they credited their most monumental achievements to gods like Zeus, Apollo, and Poseidon. But is it possible that these powerful beings from Mt. Olympus were, in fact, extraterrestrial visitors to Earth?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 foul swoop. The Trident of Poseidon could cause earthquakes. The gods imparted advanced knowledge. and they even coupled with humans. They're creating these demigons 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 exoterrestrial? 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 9th century to the 2nd century BC,

made enormous advances in science and mathematics, founded the Olympic Games, invented democracy as a century. the system of governance, and establish the foundation of Western civilization. Sandy McGillivray, Ph.D., is a classical archaeologist. 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.

William Henry is an author and investigative mythologist. 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. Michi Okaku, PhD, is a theoretical physicist. People today know the names of Aristotle and Plato and Socrates. In mathematics and sciences, people know the names of Archimedes and also Pythagoras, 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 Calicratus, and then you have Hippocrates with medicine. The list is never ending.

Perhaps just as extraordinary as the fact 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. Rick Rader is the author of Written in the Cosmos. The prevalence of gods in the lives of human beings in classical mythological stories tells us that the Greeks very much believe 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've followed avidly the American space program where you had the Mercury program, the Gemini program, the Apollo program.

They're 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. Kathleen McGowan is an author and researcher. The word Titan exists in our language now and it 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 war 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 were not able to coexist,

and an epic war is waged called the Titanomarchy. Joining the gods in this 10-year-long battle are a number of strange beings, including humanoid creatures with hundreds, 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 that it was shrouded by a mist so that human eyes couldn't see it, and it was a technology center. You had Hyphistos there, the Greek god of Smithcraft, alchemy, and technology that was creating these extraordinary weapons, the thunderbolt of Zeus, 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 military 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 war. 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. Georgiosuclos is an ancient astronaut theorist. 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 asked 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.

Hizierlick 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 the center of the Trojan War, described in Homer's epic, the Iliad. Here is Timothy Duran, Ph.D., associate professor of history at CSLA. The story of the Trojan War 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 War 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 to Troy. Her actions sparked a bloody 10-year war 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 win the war. One of the aspects of the stories of the Trojan War that is quite interesting is that the gods take sides. Some are more 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 have 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. Robert Schock, PhD, is a planetary geologist. In modern times, most scholars thought that Homer

and his writing about the Trojan War was just a good story. Academic scholars just did not take Troy seriously. However, Inrich Schleiman took Homer seriously. Details from the Iliad had convinced Schleeman that the Remnants of Troy would be found in the Turkish village of Hizerlick beneath a 65-foot-tall earthen mound. In May 1873, Schleeman uncovered a horde 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 Troy. Trojan War, 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 War,

just like the way the ancients called it. When it comes to the 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. 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 of a true history that we've misinterpreted as just fantasy? 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. Here is Eric von Danikin, author of Chariots of the Gods. 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 just, They're angry, they're passionate, they hate each other, they love each other. They kill, they attack each other, they attack 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 forms of magical devices, weapons, and flying machines. The NASA's Vimbos is a Greek journalist. Each one of the gods had a special super weapon. For example, Zeus had the Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt was like a missile.

He could throw it and create big destruction everywhere. Poseidon, who lived under the sea, had the famous Trident. He could steer the sea and create tempests, create tsunamis. Apollo had this super bow that could see. that could shoot super arrows that they could never miss. 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 an 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. Pay off your home, travel for life, drive a Ferrari.

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, Pacafia, 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 rome. result, and he is ferocious, and he feeds on the flesh of humans. This is Andrew Collins, author of Origins of the Gods. The legend of King Minus 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 frescoes showing people leaping over balls. There were bulls, horns, balls heads everywhere. The palace is an elaborate structure with moving walls and mazes actually built in to 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 bowl 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' wife is to enter into this container and mate with this sacred bull.

This sounds like some kind of genetics lab that's being created here for this 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. This is Reverend Michael J.S. Carter, author of Alien Scripture, Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible. 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 has 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,

coming to create hybrids who were half human and half God. Many Greek heroes had been fathered by gods. For example Hercules, for example Perseus, Custer, and many others. Semi-godly, semi-human hybrids. 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. We read a lot of stories about men.

between gods and human beings. In many, many other mythologies all around the world, we can find that in Mesopotamia with the famous Anunaki, with the stories about the Watchers. Much like the myths of ancient Greece, stories of humans, mixed with the bloodline of gods, appear in many cultures throughout the ancient world. From the deities known as the Anunaki

depicted in early Sumerian writings, to the biblical book of East, biblical book of Enoch, which tells a fallen angels called The Watchers, who made it with humans to create the Nephilim. We are told that the sons of God came down to earth and made it with earth women. Now, this is in all mythology, whether it's Greek, whether it's Samarian, 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 Anunaki, 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 2,500 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, cyclopees, 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. An ancient astronaut theorists suggest remnants of that ancient 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 Helenecon, 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 Hellenicon is quite small.

It's maybe only 23 feet by 30 feet by maybe 12 feet tall. 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 optimal thermoluminescence. The results were staggering. The pyramid at Helenecon, according to their results,

is one of the oldest pyramids on Earth. The pyramid of Helenecon dates to 2,720 BC. The Helenicon Pyramid is thought to be originally built by the Mycenaean, but if the dating is correct of 2,720 BC, then this is over a thousand years older. So we have to question who really built this. The dating of the Pyramid of Hellenicon 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 Hellenicon. Standing within the ancient site of Mycini is an incredible megalithic structure called the Treasury of Atreus. The treasury of Atres at Mycini 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 Mycini 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 Helene Con. About a 10-minute drive from present-day Mycini. So clearly the two were perfectly 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 Atres at Mycenae was created by the Cyclop 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 craftsmen. 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, advanced metallurgists, and also were able to quarry stone in a profoundly brilliant way. If you look around the site of Mycini, 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 Mycini? As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, the Pyramid of Hellenicon 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 exterrestrials? Is it possible that structures like the Treasury of Atreus and the Pyramid of Helenicon 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 The Greeks claimed they could speak directly to the gods. The Temple of Apollo, Delphi Greece. 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 8th century BC, when Socrates established Western philosophy in the 5th century BC, and when Alexander the Great conquered Egypt in the 4th 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 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 war, nobody would even start a trade excursion. Nobody would do anything without going in

consulting the oracle and the oracle would channel basically an answer then from the gods. The Oracle was a high priestess known as the Pothia 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, and 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. Dr. Jonathan Young is the founding curator of the Joseph Campbell Archives.

There was a crack in the stone there, and there was a kind of vapor, a gas that was coming, which pushed. 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 Adelphi 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 dimethyletriptamine or DMT. Between 1990 and 1995, scientists at the University of New Mexico administered DMT 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 other worldly 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 Pothia could receive messages from the gods. He also placed a mysterious object at the Oracle called the Omfilos. Just what the Omfilos 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 appears to be covered in a type of criss-cross pattern.

It's possible that the umphal 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 umphalo stone, and it was the power center of the world. And this umphalo 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 extraterrestrial? 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 Mycini and the Pyramid of Hellenicon. Officially, Delphi is dated to about the 6th 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 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 Doecahedron. 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 exterrestrials

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 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.
