Ancient Aliens - The Teachers

Episode Date: June 26, 2025

Throughout ancient cultures there are stories of god-like beings providing instruction to early humans, helping our ancestors to establish the first civilizations and teaching them in various disciplines. Could it be true? And do mysterious figures who appear throughout history provide evidence that these otherworldly teachers have been with us all along?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Other worldly visitors who imparted knowledge. In many ancient cultures, it's the gods who show human beings how to use technology. Teachers who introduced mankind to earth-changing innovations. They were master metal workers, and they were born of the gods. And their presence altered the development of human civilization. They were sent here to observe the human race and guide them when it's needed. Could it be that throughout history,

our planet has been visited by teachers from the stars? Ancient cultures were very clear in saying someone came from the sky and taught them this stuff. 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. is all around us. The future is right before our eyes. We are not alone. We have never been alone. Athens Greece. In the shadow of the Acropolis lie the ruins of an ancient temple called the Lyceum. More than 2,000 years ago, it served as a school of science and philosophy founded by Aristotle, Often referred to as the world's first teacher. Aristotle shared his wisdom on nearly every aspect of human knowledge, from biology to ethics and rhetoric to mathematics.

But according to Aristotle, much of his knowledge came from an even greater teacher, one who was known only to him. This is Jonathan Young, Ph.D., founding curator of Joseph Campbell Archives. There was one idea from Aristotle. that was fascinating, that was new, that was different. It was the idea of a personal guiding spirit. He called it the Dimonium, these ideas that would come from unseen sources.

Some later theologies called them guardian angels. These weren't exactly gods. They were like personal advisors. Across the planet, ancient people wrote about mysterious entities or godlike beings who taught them the skills they needed to establish their civilization. establish their civilizations. Amir Hussein, PhD, is a professor of theological studies

at Loyal of Merrimount University. Most of us, when we grow up, have our parents as teachers, our family, members as teachers. We go to school, we have human teachers. But there's this idea that in the ancient world, the ultimate teachers aren't just human beings, but the divine. Here is mythologist Pamela J. Smith.

Many cultures and civilizations attribution myths. How did we get what we have? Many of them attribute it to gods, to teacher gods, who come and gift humanity with the various things that we need in order to build civilizations. While the passing down of knowledge by otherworldly teachers is often interpreted as merely mythological, ancient astronaut theorists suggest the ubiquity of these stories points to a more profound explanation. Here is ancient astronaut theorist, Giorgio Succolos. Are all these ancient stories just a figment of our ancestors' imagination, or is there a kernel

of truth? The ancient astronaut theory teaches that at some point our ancestors received knowledge under the instruction of visiting flesh and blood exoterrestials whom our ancestors misinterpreted as divine spiritual gods. Accounts of other worldly beings teaching humans date back to the beginning of recorded history, starting with the world's first civilization, the Sumerians. Emerging in Mesopotamia over 6,000 years ago, the Sumerians were the first people to develop agriculture, the wheel, and a written language. And according to their texts, they attributed all of this knowledge to divine teachers who came down from the heavens, known as the Anunnaki.

In the Sumerian tradition, NLIL, you know, one of the gods teaches human beings by agriculture, teaches human beings how to plow into the ground and plant seeds. It's the gods who show human beings how to use technology, how to create this technology. Here is author and investigative mythologist William Henry. The Onanaki instruct humanity in the various arts and sciences and rudimentary knowledge about civilization and how to conduct themselves. And this is the origin of the Sumerians. This is where they got their knowledge.

This is why they're the first with all of their discoveries and inventions. And it comes from the Onanaki. The Sumerian pantheon of gods also includes a mysterious figure known as Owanus. Omanus was the first bringer of knowledge, especially mathematics. And what's so interesting about O'Anus is that during the day, he would be among the people and teach various disciplines of science, and then at night he would disappear into the water. Is it possible that our ancestors really were taught

by some sort of an amphibious being that initially descended from the sky? Could it be that the stories of the Anunnaki are not mythological, but eyewitness accounts of extraterrestrial visitors who shared their knowledge in the world. distant past. Perhaps further clues can be found by examining ancient traditions that have carried through to the present day. Shon-She Province, China, April 5, 2019.

At the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, thousands of people gathered to watch a traditional dragon dance. Here is author and researcher Kathleen McGowan. The Dragon Dance is an ancient ceremony, which for thousands of years has been a representation of the dragons coming from the sky and returning to the sky. The ceremony in Shangxi celebrates the deity considered to be the father of all Chinese people, the Yellow Emperor, who lived nearly 5,000 years ago. This is Dominic Stiavo, PhD, Associate Professor

of Religious Studies at UC Santa Barbara. The Yellow Emperor is one of the earliest mythical or semi-mythical rulers of China. He is held in extremely high regard even today by the Chinese people. The Yellow Emperor gave his subjects the lunar calendar, mathematics, advanced houses, writing systems, astronomy, and a variety of other elements that really formed the basis for Chinese culture. According to legend, after the Yellow Emperor shared his knowledge,

he left the planet to return to his selection. This is Andrew Collins, author of Origins of the Gods. We find that at the end of his life, he sees this dragon come down, and he literally climbs aboard it, and is taken bodily into heaven. So what's going on here? Is it possible that that dragon could be what we refer to today as a UFO? some kind of craft that we can see in terms of an extraterrestrial vehicle. Is it possible that Chinese civilization was established with the help of an extraterrestrial visitor

who came to Earth in the distant past? Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest that figures like the Yellow Emperor and Owannes were only the first teachers to influence mankind. As evidence, they point to stories as stories as associated with the technological innovation that changed the course of human history. The Mastery of Metal. According to archaeologists roughly 6,000 years ago, there was a sudden advancement in our technological ability as civilizations began to manipulate metal. Here is archaeologist Paul Bond, Ph.D.

Metallurgy was a tremendous step forward for humankind. So stone had been extraordinarily useful for hundreds of thousands of years. Once metal comes very widespread, then you have mass production of all different kinds of tools and weapons and plowshares and so on. So a very, very profound impact on human development. A key breakthrough was the creation of bronze, a metal alloy that consists of copper and tin. The development of bronze is a whole new ballgame.

It's harder, it's less brittle, and you can make all kinds of wonderful things, particularly weapons, slashing swords and things like that. Curiously, archaeological evidence suggests that civilizations across the globe started making bronze around the same time. This is author and euphologist Bill Burns, PhD. The development of metallurgy was intriguing because right about the same period, that technology sprang up all over the world in different cultures. What does that tell us? us. It tells us that this has to be taught. Who taught them?

According to mainstream historians, this technological breakthrough was simply the result of human ingenuity. But ancient astronaut theorists believe there may be a more profound explanation. And they point to mythologies around the world that claim the knowledge of how to work with metals was taught by otherworldly beings. Like a mysterious group in ancient Greek, known as the Telkanese. In the ancient Greek mythologies, there is the so-called Telkenes who were some of the earliest metal smith workers

of celestial origin that taught the ancient Greeks how to make swords and essentially how to work metal. The Telkanes were chimeric beings. They're part human, part fish. And they made all the magical implements and technologies of the Greek stories.

Here is Hugh Newman, co-author of Megalith, Studies in Stone. The Telkines were born of the gods, and they were even said to have created the Trident of Poseidon and the sickle of Kronos, and they were kind of master technologists as well as working with metal. The ancient Greeks were very clear in saying, someone came from the sky. In this case, it was the telkines, that actually then, spent time with the ancient Greeks and taught them this stuff. Accounts of divine beings who shared the secrets of the forge can be found across the globe.

In Egypt, the god Patah spread knowledge about metalworking. Kaniago instructed the ancient people of Japan. And in Celtic lore, Smithcraft was taught by the Tuaha de Danin, advanced beings who arrived in Ireland on cloud ships. According to the ancient astronaut theory, all of these ancient cultures from all continents around the world were in fact visited by the same exterrestials. Is it possible that early civilizations across the globe were taught how to work metal by otherworldly visitors? According to ancient astronaut theorists, support for this notion can be found not only in myths and legends, but also in physical evidence. that was recently retrieved from the bottom of the ocean.

January 2015. One mile off the coast of Sicily, archaeologists excavate a 2,600-year-old shipwreck. They uncover an ancient treasure trove of 39 metal ingots. Spectrographic analysis reveals the metal is a mysterious alloy, unlike anything ever seen before. Here is georechaeologist Carolyn Whitehill, Ph.D. It's not gold, although it looks a lot like gold.

It's not your typical bronze alloy, although it behaves a lot like bronze. It has a very beautiful shine, and it's an uncommon metal. These ingots are made of five different metals. We have copper. We have iron, nickel, lead, and zinc. Here is geologist, Jeff Williams. What's interesting about this is zinc only occurs in nature as sphalerite.

It's a zinc sulfur complex. In order to create zinc, you have to actually process the zinc out of this sulfide. They didn't have that technology back then. We didn't have zinc until about 1,000 years ago, and this is 2,600 years old. Scientists were astounded to discover that this advanced alloy had been produced centuries before humans

are thought to have had the ability to manipulate elements like zinc into metals. And they were even more surprised when they found that the ingots closely matched a legendary medal described by the Greek philosopher Plato in the 4th century BC called Oricalcom. Orychalcum is a very precious metal that is talked about in the accounts of Atlantis, written by Plato as early as 350 BC. it was second up in value to gold itself. And a large part of the city of Atlantis

was actually covered in Oricalcum. According to Plato, the Temple of Poseidon in Atlantis was covered with Oricalcum, that the interior walls and floors were lined with it, and that it gleamed red and white light. According to Plato's story, the Greek god Cadmus, grandson of Poseidon, came down from Mount Olympus and gave Oricalcom to the people of Atlantis.

Cadmus is one of the legendary founders of Greek civilization. And quite clearly, he was a very inspired alchemist or smithy who had this knowledge of how to create this divine metal. Here is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. It was quite interesting, really, that here is this, what people thought was a mythological metal that Plato, you know, had just kind of made up as part of his Atlantis story. And yet, we are finding ingots of this metal in shipwrecks. How amazing is that? People have kind of gone crazy about this over the years.

They suggest this could be evidence of Atlantis itself. Could this mysterious alloy found off the coast of sea? Sicily be proof that humans were shown how to manipulate metal by otherworldly beings thousands of years ago. Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that further evidence can be found in accounts of people who communicated with extraterrestrial teachers face to face.

A Bedouin shepherd exploring a cave 13 miles east of Jerusalem, comes across hundreds of of ancient parchments. Known as the Dead Sea Scrolls, the documents contain the oldest versions of the Bible ever discovered. Among them is a controversial text that describes an encounter between a man named Enoch and

a mysterious group of otherworldly teachers called The Watchers. Enoch was the great prophet of the book of Genesis. It was he that encountered the Watchers. And it was said that they gave the sciences of heaven, the rudiments of civilization. This is Philip Mbrogno, author of Interdimensional Universe. Enoch referred to these people, whoever they are, as the Watchers. Now, the Watchers were actually a group of beings that we refer to as angels that were specially sent here to observe the evolution of the human race

and guide them when it's needed. The Book of Enoch is a firsthand account of the biblical patriarch's encounter with the Watchers. According to the text, the Watchers brought Enoch to heaven in a fiery chariot. The Book of Enoch was clearly an eyewitness account because he describes everything, I Enoch did this.

I Enoch went there and then I saw this. Enoch was taken into that celestial realm and the watchers imparted certain knowledge to him. For example, the angels said to him, look at the window and see that you're looking at the moon. The moon has light, but it comes from the sun. Well, this is deep astronomical knowledge, which at the time really was not known.

Now you exchange the word angels with extraterrestrials and there you have your story. According to Islamic texts, Inoc used this newfound knowledge to create a breathtaking monument that can still be seen to this day. The Great Pyramid of Giza. Conventional thinking says that the Great Pyramid was built by the Pharaoh Kiyops in around 2000. 500 BC, as his two. However, ancient accounts that we have from Arab writers and historians, like Al-McCreezy, tells us that the designer of the Great Pyramid was Idris. Idris is the Arabic form of the name Enoch.

Al-McCreezy says that the pyramids were built by Enoch, who was tutored by the watcher angels who told him to come back down to Earth and build the pyramids as a repository for ancient knowledge. This is Eric von Danikin, author of Chariots of the Gods. Enoch was educated by the extraterrestrials. He learned their language. They teached him in astronomy and in engineering. They dictated him technological stuff. How can you construct this? How can you measure this? How can you transport the stone blocks? but with the knowledge and the teaching of extraterrestrials. The reality is extraterrestrials were here thousands of years ago. As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,

the Book of Enoch reveals that extraterrestrial teachers chose certain individuals to help disseminate knowledge to humankind. And they say further evidence of this can be found in the ancient Sanskrit texts of India. Punei India At the center of this sprawling metropolis is the Bandarkar Oriental Research Institute. Its collection maintains the oldest known manuscripts of the Vedas, the religious texts that form the basis of Hinduism. These sacred teachings are more than 8,000 years old, and Hindus believe they come directly

from the gods. The word Veda means knowledge in Sanskrit. And so there is this close association with a special type of wisdom or knowledge that is transmitted through the Vedas. Originally the Vedas were revealed by the gods to a certain class of spiritual elect, and the Vedas were transmitted orally from generation to generation for a very long time. The Vedas was part of the secret lore of Hinduism that would only be entrusted to the wisdom a very select body of scholars who would hold the powerful knowledge,

sometimes called cites or spiritual powers, that the public might not be quite ready for. The Vedas and other ancient Sanskrit texts of India contained detailed passages that describe divine beings who descended from the sky and shared knowledge with a select group of people. The Vedas tell us that the gods taught humans how to chant, how to pray and to sing in order to communicate with the gods.

The Vedas are filled with flying chariots, the so-called Vimanas. There's a very interesting part in the Mahabharata where King Ravaita actually visits the celestial palace of Brahma. Brahma was the Hindu Creator God. Everything came from Brahma. And King Ravita was actually taken into the head.

into the heavens in a chariot to visit this gigantic palace. Similar encounters with mysterious teachers can be found in the traditions of many other ancient cultures across the world. In Buddhism, Emperor Asoka consulted with a secret society called the Nine Unknown Men who possessed the knowledge of the universe. Similar societies existed in ancient Egypt and the ideas were were only taught on a very selective basis. That is the connection of the ancient astronaut theory. It's not that they all out of nowhere came up with the same ideas, but according to the ancient

legends and mythologies that our ancestors impart to us, they say that this knowledge was given to them by the so-called gods that descended from the sky. Is it possible that certain people were in direct contact with extraterrestrial teachers in the distant past. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest that this communication continues to this very day. And as evidence, they point to a 19th century Russian noblewoman who claims of otherworldly teachers laid the foundation for what would become known as the ancient astronaut theory. New York City, 1875. Madam Helena Blavatsky found a new group called the Theosophical Society,

dedicated to researching and revealing the lost civilizations and forgotten wisdom of the ancient world. Madame Blavatsky was a very well-educated Russian aristocrat who had the goal of finding the unified field theory of religion. And she started gathering up all of these different traditions. and finding where they overlapped, finding where they repeated each other, and coming up with a wisdom teaching, if you will.

In the mid to late 1800s, this was a very popular movement. This is Gary Latchman, author of Knowledge of the Imagination. Theosophy means the wisdom of the gods. And the idea of the society is that they would study ancient wisdom, And one of the key aims of the Theosophical Society was the creation of a universal brotherhood, you know, regardless of race, creed, color. Before arriving in New York, Blavatsky traveled widely

in Egypt and India, absorbing ancient esoteric knowledge. Metamovatsky becomes interested in the esoteric world as a teenager. And then in her early adulthood, goes off on these sort of grand adventures. Eventually, these adventures take her to India and take her to Tibet. And throughout this process, she begins to communicate with intelligences that are referred to as Mahatmas or Ascended Masters. She claimed that these Ascendant Masters were actually the masters of civilizations that appeared on planet Earth before the human race.

and that they would give her knowledge and she would use that knowledge to pass it on to individuals to guide them. They had developed to a higher state of consciousness so they could communicate telepathically and cause things to materialize and things of that sort. In 1877, Madam Blavatsky published her ideas in the book ISIS Unveiled. But rather than take credit, she claimed her knowledge came from an unseen source. One of the things that Helene Blavatsky taught was the idea of automatic writing.

That meant that in a meditative state, your hand was guided by the ascendant masters, and you could write, not knowing what you wrote, but you could write, and what you wrote was the instruction from the ancient masters. It is said that she wrote her entire first book, Isis Unveiled, with her eyes closed, automatic writing. She was the channel that brought forth this information. According to Madame Blavatsky, the Ascended Masters taught her about ancient civilizations and profound wisdom that had been lost to time. She wrote this a notion that there were previous civilizations.

Atlantis, Lemuria, there's something called the imperishable land. She pushes back appearance of civilization much, much further back in time. According to Madame Blavatsky, Atlantis and Lamurie, were destroyed in the flood of the Bible. And in many ways, her scenario of Earth and the past is very much a precursor to ancient astronaut theory, where she's also got gods from outer space. Many important figures joined the Theosophical Society,

like Thomas Edison, Nobel Prize-winning poet W.B. Yates, and Civil War hero Abner Doubleday, who invented baseball. baseball. But Madame Blavatsky had a particularly profound influence on a young Indian law student named Mohandas Gandhi. Gandhi finds himself in Madame Blavatsky's salon in 1889 when he is a law student in London. And he is completely not only captivated by her, but changed by his encounter with her. He was introduced to the bug of Agita, one of the great works of his own nation, his own religion by Madame Mavatsky. And it was actually through his introduction to the Bhagavagita

that Gandhi developed Amhimsa, which is his philosophy of nonviolence. Inspired in part by Blavatsky's teachings, the young lawyer would go on to become a civil rights activist. And in 1947, Mohandis Gandhi would lead India to independence from British rule. Gandhi, until the last day of his life, had nothing but good words to say, about theosophy. Were the teachings of Madame Blavatsky

a result of influence from mysterious ascended masters? And if so, who or what were they? Perhaps clues can be found by examining influential figures throughout history who received instructions from otherworldly beings. Across the planet, there were these specific areas where someone with, call it, clairvoyant vision, was able to communicate with an entity, a supernatural entity.

In Greece, it was the Oracle of Delphi. The Oracle of Delphi would go into a trance and channel messages from the god Apollo. People would go there, kings, and if they wanted to go to war, if they wanted to change something. Otherworldly guidance also had a profound impact on the foundation of Buddhism. In Buddha's story, it's very clear that his meditation under the bow tree is what put him in communication with these otherworldly beings and through which he received his inspiration.

Buddhism itself completely changed India and Tibet, China, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia. And we have to wonder, you know, if meditation a way to connect to the gods? Could it be that the ascended masters, Madame Blavatsky, claimed to Channel, were part of a long line? of extraterrestrial teachers. And if so, what was their goal? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest these efforts are part of an extraterrestrial agenda to usher in a new era of humanity, among the stars. Throughout history, there are stories of otherworldly teachers

who have shared wisdom and altered the course of human civilization. Could this still be happening today? Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes. say yes, and as evidence they point to a mysterious event that occurred in Kingman, Arizona. On May 21, 1953, eyewitnesses reported that a disc-shaped object crashed into the desert outside the city. Two days later, government scientists were bused into the area to investigate the crashed UFO. Here's military aerospace historian Mike Schrat.

When they got there, it was nighttime. There were MPs on all corners of the craft. It's about a 40-foot diameter dish-shaped craft. It was perfectly intact. There wasn't a scratch on it. According to reports, the wreckage was sent to the top secret military installation known as Area 51. And with the craft was a survivor from the crash, an alien entity known as J-Rod. Here is Preston Dennett, author of Inside UFO's True Accounts of Contact with Extraterrestrial.

Reast Reels. J. Rod is an alien who allegedly worked at Area 51 over a period of years. It was J. Rod's mission or duty to help reverse engineer technology that was apparently from the 1953 Kingman UFO crash. J. Rod was one of the crash survivors and worked directly with our own government. To former Air Force test pilot Bill U. House, Jayrod taught the U.S. military how to reverse engineer alien technology. I called him J. Rod.

That's the name that the linguist gave him. And he'd talk, he would talk, but he'd sound just like, if you spoke, he'd sound like you, but he'd try and answer your question, you know. Basically it was only engineering advice or science advice. In the years following the Kingman UFO crash, scientists at Area 51 developed some of the military's greatest innovations, including stealth technology. Is it possible that these breakthroughs were guided by an extraterrestrial being? The idea of UFO crashes and subsequent retrievals by the government is central to the

whole UFO phenomenon. There are many such cases. Boswell, of course, 1947, the Kexburg incident from 1965. It's interesting to look at the sudden explosion of technology just about at the time that these UFO crashes were first reported. You see us go from propeller aircraft to space rockets in just a few short years. Are these crashes possibly intentional? Could these be a gift from the teachers assisting us in recreating or disassembling this technology and recreating it in a human fashion?

Is it possible that extraterrestrials not only taught humanity in the distant past, but continue to share knowledge with us today? And if so, why? There's many stories of people who've had contact with extraterrestrials. who tell us that they want to lift us up. They want us to know science and technology like them. What's interesting in all of these ancient, but also modern encounters with extraterrestrials, it seems that there is an agenda.

To me, one of the most important things that the universe has to offer is the spreading of life and information. And this doesn't happen by happenstance. It needs intelligence behind it. And so, all of the universe is a human being in. Ultimately, I think, they too want us to travel out there and impart knowledge or spread out this information. Part of ancient astronaut theory is that our mission and goal and what our extraterrestrial ancestors have wanted us to do is be like them.

They want us to achieve the same things that they achieved. They want us to be a space-faring nation. It's up to us to take that message into our hearts and recognize that humanity is on the precipice of actually being able now to colonize our nearby star system. And with that comes tremendous responsibility. Is it possible that humans are fulfilling an extraterrestrial agenda? One that for thousands of years has been guided by otherworldly teachers. Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest evidence of this can be found by existence. examining a recent discovery in our own genetic code.

According to anthropologists, approximately 50,000 years ago, humanity experienced a rapid development in language, art, and technology. Curiously, many researchers believe that this was not only the result of evolution, but that the genes of ancient humans went through a sudden change. There's a very important transition that happened about 50,000 years ago, that appears to have been a genetic switch that's set apart a huge gulf between us and our predecessors. Languages became more complex and more creative. We see paintings that depict not just what's happening around them, but some sort of philosophical or esoteric explanation of things.

50,000 years ago, our brain volume increased by 60%. That is something that, according to Darwinian evolution, couldn't happen that quickly because evolution needs time. So what happened? One of the basic tenets of the ancient astronaut theory is that long ago, exterrestrials finagled our DNA and essentially gave us a bigger brain. The humans on this planet, from the family of apes, we are part of that, but we are also part of extraterrestrials

because the extraterrestrials changed the humans, change the humans according their own image. We are a mixture of human evolution and extraterrestrious. Is it possible that tens of thousands of years ago human DNA was manipulated by extraterrestrial beings? And if so, did they design us to be like them so that they could teach us and lead us towards becoming a technologically advanced civilization? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that a distant memory of the genetic transformation of the human race is preserved in ancient writings. Beginning with the Samarian accounts of the Onanaki who transformed us by making us a hybrid being and activating our intelligence, we have stories all over the world of a similar

situation where an otherworldly being is responsible for a transformation of humanity. In Greek mythology, the god Prometheus is responsible for creating humans. and advancing our intelligence. The ancient Egyptians credited the god Pata with the same achievements. And in the Hebrew Bible's book of Genesis, Adam and Eve have a mind-altering experience in the Garden of Eden when a serpent-like being tempts Eve with an apple. Eve comes along and shares the apple with Adam,

and all of the sudden they both have this sort of instantaneous awareness, This understanding of who they are as humans and an understanding of the world that they didn't have before. Is it possible that the Serpent of Eden is the memory of some kind of higher intelligence, some kind of teacher that was in touch with our ancestors, and that this story became the foundation point of the Book of Genesis itself? Have otherworldly teachers been fostering human progress for thousands of years? continuing right up to the present day. And if these beings were responsible for activating our intelligence,

as ancient astronaut theories suggest, could this evolution be exactly what they intended for humanity all along? According to the ancient astronaut theory, we are their offspring. They made us homo sapiens sapiens that we are today. If you have such a creation, I don't think you would just abandon that. abandon that. And in order for this whole experiment to work, these extraterrestrials then also would show up

and be our teachers. And today is not the end of this, because they want to see our progress, because it would not surprise me that they're here and still enhancing us to ensure our future survival. Could it be that humans are part of an extraterrestrial experiment? one that not only began with the manipulation of our DNA,

but has been continued by otherworldly teachers for thousands of years. Perhaps as new technology allows us to venture deeper and deeper into space, we will fulfill an alien agenda that was set in motion long ago and become extraterrestrial teachers ourselves.
