NARRATOR: In recent
years, a growing number
of ancient astronaut theorists
have suggested that not only
did extraterrestrials
influence our ancestors
as to the precise positioning
of important structures,
but they did so
in a way that was
designed to tap into the
Earth's natural energy.
And there are various
places around our planet
that are said to
be power places,
places of vortex energy.
And they are all connected
to this worldwide energy grid
that surrounds our planet
and that these places are
areas where energy lines cross.
It might be that
extraterrestrials
are also tapping into this
worldwide energy grid.
NARRATOR: Curiously, at
many mysterious sites
worldwide, researchers
have noted yet
another peculiar connection.
Many early depictions
of the so-called gods
have been immortalized
carrying what appears
to be a type of handbag.
DAVID CHILDRESS: These
mysterious handbags
are held by the Sumerian gods.
We find it in Mexico
with the Olmecs.
We find it in Mongolia as well.
We find it in Colombia.
It may be some type of
misunderstood technology.
Perhaps it was some
type of a tool bag
or some type of maybe
a breathing apparatus
for extraterrestrials,
because it doesn't
look like a fashion item.
It looks more like
a transmitter,
an old cell phone, a computer.
If you'll look
at our astronauts,
as they are walking
from the launch tower
into the spacecraft, they
carry a suitcase system.
That's their temporary
life support system.
It's very possible that
this is something similar.
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists have also
noted that there appears
to be a common narrative
thread amongst
the cultures where
the depictions are present.
As we begin to trace
this handbag symbol,
we see it appears
at Gobekli Tepe,
where there's this sudden
spike in civilization.
It reappears in Sumeria,
where we suddenly have
this infusion of knowledge.
Same thing virtually every
place this handbag appears,
we find this sudden spike or
infusion of new knowledge.
There are tales in ancient
Mesopotamia of a figure thought
of as the bringer of
civilization sometimes called
Adapa or Dagon or Oannes,
sometimes described
as fish-tailed or bird-headed.
And this character
is carrying a bag.
And in that bag, all of the
learning, all of the sciences,
all of the imagination that
humanity will ever need.
There is a theory that
they had the ability
to levitate through
energy that might have
been given to us by an alien.
I mean, it's a science
fiction concept.
But we don't know for
sure, although we know
that the Aztecs
and the Egyptians
and the people that came before
them did have some technology.
We don't even know how much
technology they might have had.
That's why von Daniken's
theory is possible.
