  • 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.
