Mountains That May Hold Alien Secrets _ Ancient Aliens

The Susa Valley, 966 A.D. While ascending Mount Pircariano, 25 miles west of Turin, and directly across from Mount Mucine, a Catholic bishop is startled by an incredible sight that suddenly appears in the sky. He sees strange lights in the sky, and these things are described as planks and globes made of fire, firstly appearing to be on the mountain itself, then rising up, flying around across the sky. But they weren't just sightings. They were sightings that had a profound consequence. These strange sightings prompted the bishop to say, this will be the site on which we will build the new abbey that came to be known as Sacra di San Michele. So once again, we have what seems to be extraterrestrials giving a light show for people, wanting to attract their attention, and perhaps inspiring them to do certain things. The Sacra di San Michele, or St. Michael's Abbey, still stands atop Mount Pircariano today. It is to this sacred abbey that ancient astronaut theorist William Henry is headed with author and historian Noma Orzo, who plans to reveal a historic secret. Oh my gosh, look at this. Yes. Wow. Sousa Valley. Wow, wow, wow. Look. That's incredible. In that direction, straight in front of us, we have the Mount Moussine. Moussine. Yeah. It's like Moussine and Sacra are twin peaks. Yes. Imagine that the two mountains are like a gate to enter into the Sousa Valley. The valley was in the past the place where a very ancient city exists. And in this place where the Sacra was built, we have some other interesting phenomenon connected to energy and the story of this valley. And this place is very interesting because it's part of a line, a straight line, that from Ireland to the other side of the world, create seven different spots with seven churches that are all dedicated to the Archangel Michael. According to ancient stories, in this area of the St. Michael line, the energy line, or ley line, that many believe runs straight through Italy, a highly advanced civilization existed thousands of years ago. A civilization that began when the god Phaeton came down from the sky in his fiery chariot. The local accounts of Phaeton not only connect this figure with the ancient Greeks, but also the ancient Egyptians. And some ancient astronaut theorists suggest that as a bringer of technology, Phaeton could be the same extraterrestrial being that was known in Egypt as Ptah. Their names are very similar, Ptah and Phaeton. The legend says that Phaeton founded Turin in honor of the Abyss Bull. Turin, or Turino, is called the City of the Bull. Now, this is very interesting because in ancient Egypt, where the reverence for the Abyss Bull originated, we're told that the Abyss Bull was actually the Egyptian god of technology, Ptah, incarnate. Ptah was the Egyptian god of smithcraft and alchemy. So we have to ask the question, is Mussini a place that was known in the ancient world where the secrets of alchemy were ultimately going to be stored or could be accessed? There seems to be a very important connection between the cosmic knowledge of metallurgy, which was brought to Earth by the gods, and some kind of energy present at Mount Mussini. If extraterrestrials' knowledge of metallurgy and alchemy was used to create a technologically advanced ancient city around Mount Mussini, where did it go? In the first century BC, Rome conquered the area's original inhabitants and established Augusta Torinorum, the colony that eventually became Turin. All traces of the people and city that came before it seemed to have vanished. So the Roman Empire came here and said, we're gonna take your knowledge and secrets, we're gonna weaponize. Yeah, of course. And the story says that these people, they fight for 50 years to have the time to hide all the secrets of metals and metallurgy. So the energy is still here in this valley? The energy is still here. According to the myth, all this energy was kept into the Mount Mussini, inside it. The Indus Valley, Pakistan, 1922. The Indian Archaeological Survey discovers the remnants of what is the largest ancient city of the Indus Valley civilizations, Mohenjo-Daro. The artifacts and architecture cataloged at the site indicate a metropolis prospered here nearly 4,600 years ago. But the skeletal remains found among the ruins tell a puzzling story. I understand that they found a lot of radioactive ash there and they found radioactive people there. And so the assumption is that there must have been some radiation event. And so it is possible that there was some kind of nuclear explosion there, long time ago. The problem is that in order to do that, in order for that to be the case, you would have to have some very advanced technology. What we may be seeing is the residue of one of the ancient power plants used by extraterrestrials. But if, as ancient astronaut theorists believe, Mohenjo-Daro was wiped out in a nuclear meltdown, where is the power plant that might have caused such mass devastation? Mount Kailash, Western Tibet, at an elevation of nearly 22,000 feet. This mountain is one of the most distinctive peaks in the world. This is a very interesting shape for a mountain. It is cone-shaped from one side and pyramid-shaped from another. And this is precisely the shape we see elsewhere in ancient Sumeria, ancient Egypt, various other ancient civilizations, whereby this pyramid-shaped object really is said to have some form of power, some kind of connection with the deity. In the Eastern world, Mount Kailash is regarded as the spiritual center of the universe and the birthplace of four of the world's religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Taoism. For thousands of years, religious pilgrims have trekked here to perform the holy ritual of walking a 32-mile circular path carved along the mountain's base. Everybody, at one point in their lifetime, had to go to this place to connect with the gods. And this is really the interesting aspect because what is it about this mountain which sets it apart from other mountains? There are several possibilities. One of them is that the gods really took residence here. They say the true significance of this mountain can be found detailed in an ancient Chinese drawing, the Mogao Caves, Western China. Between 500 BC and 1500 AD, Buddhist monks stored thousands of scrolls and manuscripts inside a series of painted temples and shrines dug into a hillside approximately 600 miles north of Mount Kailash. Here, in 1907, Hungarian-born British explorer Arl Stein discovered a sealed-off room containing nearly 50,000 manuscripts in various languages. Arl Stein finds this incredible place called the Cave of the Thousand Buddhas, which is sort of like a Buddhist hall of records. It's a cache of thousands upon thousands of ancient Buddhist texts. Included within this is the Diamond Sutra, which is the oldest printed manuscript known to human history. The collection of ancient texts and relics also included a 2nd-century-AD Buddhist diagram of a cosmic mountain called Mount Meru, a sacred site believed to be a stairway connecting heaven and earth. For nearly 100 years, the ancient illustration drew little notice. But recently, the diagram caught the attention of a scientist from Northrop Grumman, who specializes in the development of advanced weapons for the military. He said, I design particle beam weapons for a living, for the government. Do you realize that that's a blueprint for a particle accelerator? I went and compared the diagram of Mount Meru with an illustration of what's called a cyclotron, an atom smasher, which was used in the development of the A-bomb for the Manhattan Project. They're a perfect match for one another. Might the nearly 2,000-year-old Buddhist diagram of Mount Meru actually depict a device that today would run on nuclear power? Mongolian myth says that these celestial beings dwelled around Meru because of the energy that was emitted from it. It was a transmitter of this cosmic power that fed these celestial beings, or kept them alive. And I think that power might have come from Mount Kailash. This wasn't a place that actually put out spiritual energy, but what we're talking about is a place that produced raw energy, technological energy. Potentially, we're talking about a power plant. Mount Olympus, Greece. Rising over 9,500 feet, this sacred mountain is the second tallest in the Balkan Peninsula. According to ancient myth, it was also the chosen home of immortal deities known as the Olympians. Mount Olympus hides a particularly mysterious abode where the gods live in perfect immortal repose for all of their existence. Even nowadays, clouds gather around the top of it. That's where it is assumed that the abode of the gods was, up in the clouds that you weren't able to see. Mount Olympus was viewed as sacred by the ancient Greeks, and the city of Dion, located at the foot of the mountain, became a major center of pilgrimage and religious worship in the 5th century BC. Dion was at the base of Mount Olympus, and it was believed to be a power spot. 4th century BC, Alexander the Great came to Dion before launching off on his vast conquest of Asia. There is something about this place, something very important, related to the mountain. The Greeks were fascinated by Mount Olympus, and they believed that real people, real gods, were living up there. When they saw lightning flashes, storm clouds, and when there were natural disasters, they believed the gods were angry. The Olympians were huge sky beings who descended on Earth and had a headquarters at Mount Olympus. They interacted with humans, and the ancients believed that they were real beings. For many years, historians believed that the Greek stories were complete myth. But then in 1870, the German archaeologist Heinrich Schleiman discovered Troy. Similarly, we have the story of the oracle at Delphi and the god Apollo speaking through the oracle. Archaeologists have now found the exact spot where the oracle at Delphi sat. So now we know that some of the Greek stories are genuine. So is it possible that the stories of the Olympians are also true? It's possible that they were actually extraterrestrial beings who came here to influence humankind. Could the myths of ancient Greece be true? Was Mount Olympus home to gods living here on planet Earth? And if so, might those powerful deities have been extraterrestrials, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe? According to the accounts of the Greek poet Hesiod from the 8th century BC, the Olympians were the children of the Titans, another generation of gods thought to occupy nearby Mount Othrys. Fed up with the oppressive rule of the Titans, the Olympians waged a brutal rebellion against them, using Mount Olympus as their base. The command was done from the mountains, and the battle took place on the plains between the mountains. And the battle went on and on. The Olympians prevailed, finally capturing the Titans. Whenever we have references to Mount Olympus, it is described to be this magnificent palace. And the temple walls were always gleaming of gold or gleaming with silver, and a lot of little lights that they described as jewels, some blinking lights, and all those things. Well, if you look at that from a modern perspective, what if? Mount Olympus and Mount Othrys were basically the command posts where the Olympians and the Titans drew up their battle plans. And when I say command posts, I'm talking about a functioning military outpost in the mountains for an all-out war between extraterrestrials. Bugarach, France, 2012. Believing that the end of the Mayan calendar is a prediction of the apocalypse, thousands descend on this mountain village, hoping to be rescued by extraterrestrials. Bugarach has been known as a holy mountain since time immemorial in this part of France. There is something truly magnetic about this mountain that is bringing people to come and watch it. There is so much UFO activity. There are so many unidentified lights, unidentified objects that are seen around that mountain that people come from all over Europe to observe Bugarach. All throughout, the mountain is a vast labyrinth of limestone caves. These limestone caves have led a number of people to believe that this is actually some kind of alien base, that extraterrestrials are living inside the mountain. And in fact, they've been living there for thousands of years. So what happened in 2012 is that all sorts of doomsday groups flocked to the area because they felt like it would be the only place that would be safe from the devastation and destruction that would engulf the entire planet. They believed that the aliens were going to come out and protect anybody who was encamped in the area and that they would be the ones who would start the new world that would come afterwards. Could extraterrestrials really be living inside a mountain in France, remaining undetected for thousands of years? And if so, might there be other similar mountains secretly housing other worldly civilizations? Mount Shasta, California. Dominating the landscape at over 14,162 feet, this mountain has inspired strange and incredible stories for thousands of years. The local Native Americans have always felt there was something special about Mount Shasta. It was thought that humankind actually originated from within Mount Shasta, that there was a great cataclysm, and that the people of planet Earth actually hid within the mountain. When the cataclysm had passed, the people were able to come out of Mount Shasta and repopulate the world. A book came out in the 1890s proposing the idea that there was a culture that lived within subterranean chambers in Mount Shasta. Over the years, there have been a number of very significant UFO sightings around Mount Shasta. And you have to wonder, why is that the case? I don't think we can rule out the idea of some sort of permanent presence buried deep within Mount Shasta itself. Could alien beings really be living on planet Earth, hidden inside mountains? And if so, might they have built advanced civilizations, not only within Mount Shasta, but in mountains across the world? Great mountains have been objects of fascination and veneration for as long as we have stories. They reach to the heavens. They have hidden crevices and caves. They are also dangerous, so we have the severity issues of life and death. So in every corner of the planet, there have been special and sacred mountains. Throughout the world, we find myths and legends of sacred mountains that are not only landing places or places where the gods or star beings descended, but also places that became their sanctuary. And humans have been almost magnetically attracted to these places since the beginning of recorded history. So it's entirely possible that the extraterrestrials set up space bases and mountains all over the world. That way, they could watch humanity, help guide us, and if necessary, intervene again in human affairs, as they had done in the past. And perhaps this is why we're drawn to mountains. We instinctively know that the extraterrestrial gods are there and always have been.
