NARRATOR: Legends
of lizard people. They had arms and
legs like that of men. NARRATOR: Statues depicting
strange creatures. They have the facial features
of what seems to be reptiles. NARRATOR: And
underground caves said to be home to serpent gods. There are too many stories
about reptilian entities living within the Earth
for them to be dismissed. NARRATOR: Throughout
history, there have been stories of beings
half-human, half-reptile. Could they be more
than mere fantasy? And if so, might they be
visitors from another planet? But you have to wonder
if there's not some truth to the stories of reptilian
intervention on planet earth. NARRATOR: Millions of
people around the world believe we have been
visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. What if it were true? Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history? And if so, might there be
a connection between aliens and strange beings
called the reptilians? [theme music] Bishopville, South Carolina,
June 1988, 2:00 AM. 17-year-old Christopher
Davis had pulled over on a deserted road near Scape
Ore Swamp to fix a flat tire. Just as he finished, he
heard a noise behind him. He saw a strange seven foot tall
creature with red glowing eyes running towards him. Davis started to drive away, but
the creature caught up with him and jumped on the
roof of the car. Swerving hard to throw
the creature off, he saw it had three
fingers and green skin. Finally it fell from the
car and Davis sped away. And he ended up getting
out of where he was, and he went immediately home. He was so upset. His parents called
the police department. Sheriff Liston Trusdale
actually went out there and interviewed him. He asked him to take a
lighter detector test, and this young boy passed
the lie detector test with flying colors. NARRATOR: What Christopher
Davis told the detective he saw was a lizard man. And what's interesting is
the police took the story very, very seriously. Although Christopher Davis's
sighting of the lizard man was certainly the most
famous and infamous one, it's not the only one. They tracked down a
number of other witnesses who both previously and after
had seen the lizard man. NARRATOR: In the spring
of 1988, a crop duster named Frank Mitchell
reported seeing what he said was a lizard man cross his
grassy runway one morning as he was about to take off. And two years later, in 1990,
Bertha Blythers and her five children claimed they nearly hit
a lizard-like man while driving near the same swamp. Could these incidents
all be related? Is it merely coincidence
that three separate people on three separate occasions
reported seeing a lizard man near the Scape Ore Swamp. Could there possibly be
another species of life down here, something
we're not aware of and they're interacting
with people? NARRATOR: Further sightings
of a so-called lizard man had been reported
not only in this area but also in Tennessee,
Illinois, and Austria. In fact, alleged encounters
with these creatures have become so widespread they
are now collectively known by one name, the Reptilians. But could accounts
of the Reptilians be more than just the product
of overactive imaginations? Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes. And as evidence, they point
to the legends of serpent gods that can be found
throughout the world. In South America,
Quetzalcoatl, Kukalkan, they're always referenced
as serpent gods. Even in Japan or ancient China,
we have these dragon emperors and dragon gods. It's very possible that
there was a time in the past that ancient man was interacting
with what appear to be living serpent beings, a
lost reptilian race. We can find these
stories of serpent gods all around the world. I don't mean just particular
geographic regions, but on every
continent in virtually every ancient culture. You have them in India. You have them in China. In Greece, in England, in South
and North America, in Africa. I mean, it doesn't matter
where you go in the world, there are these
direct references to these serpent-like beings
that descended from the sky. So to me, this is not a
figment of the imagination and certainly not coincidence. NARRATOR: In addition to
myths and legends passed down through oral history,
early written texts also speak of serpent beings that
were once present on earth. The Bible speaks of a
reptilian race, the Seraphim. We read about them in
the Book of Isaiah. Some will interpret them
as being the fiery ones, but the correct
understanding is reptilian. There has always been
knowledge of the Reptilians. Some are good, others bad. Religious texts tell
of reptilian beings whose existence is inexorably
linked to that of the earth and humankind. So for example, in the
Bible, the Book of Genesis has a story about a serpent who
tempts Eve, the first woman, by offering her the
forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge. Eve falls for the
snake's blandishments, and she eats of that apple and
forever changes human history, causing Adam and Eve to be
expelled from the Garden of Eden, and causing
the serpent, too, to be punished, in that
he is doomed to slither upon the ground as a punishment
for his disobeying God's will. It is understood
an ancient legend that prior to God
punishing the serpent, the serpent was completely
humanoid in character, and that this
serpent, this nachash, was only one of a race
of reptilian beings who served God. When you hear that story
from a modern perspective, it sounds an awful lot
like what people describe as the Reptilians,
lizard-like beings, who are beings with the
faces or visage of a viper. NARRATOR: But if the serpent
in the Garden of Eden really was a reptilian alien,
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest, could there be
similar stories recorded in the ancient texts of
other cultures as well? In the Quran, there's
a fascinating category of creatures known as the djinn. The djinn are ancient. They were here before humans. They're a category unto
themselves, not unlike angels. And at one point,
Iblis, the leader of the djinn
offended God, crossed him, was rebellious, and
was cursed like the serpents in the Garden of Eden,
and became earthbound, trapped on earth for eternity. And they're here with us. Throughout the Mediterranean
and the Near East, there is a very strong belief
linking snakes, skinks, and lizards, and other reptiles
to supernatural or magical creatures and in some cases
to the souls of ancestors. So it can be considered bad
luck to kill one of these beings if you find it in the
home, because it might be a djinn or another kind
of supernatural creature that is visiting you. NARRATOR: The djinn, Kukulkan,
the serpent in the garden of Eden, could all
of these stories about other worldly serpent
beings able to influence humanity be based on fact? And if they have been part of
human history for thousands of years, where
do they come from? Are they alien creatures coming
to earth from another planet? Or could they be living
right under our feet? Los Angeles, California, January
1934, the Los Angeles Times publishes an article entitled
"Lizard Peoples Catacombs City Hunted." Accounting the attempt by
mining engineer G Warren Shufelt to locate and excavate a maze
of tunnels which he believed were beneath the streets
of downtown Los Angeles. Warren Shufelt was
a mining engineer, and he invented a device that
he called the radio X-ray to be used for gold mining. And this device could
find tunnels underground, and he actually created
a map of the tunnels. NARRATOR: Included on
Shufelt's felt's map of tunnels were 16 places where he said
he had located gold deposits. Shufelt gained
momentum after meeting with a Hopi medicine
man who told him the legend of the
lizard people that live in underground cities. Warren Shufelt had a sit-down
with an Indian medicine man in Arizona who told him there
was a Hopi legend that there was three cities on the Pacific
coast that were completely underground. The story goes that 5,000 years
ago, there was a meteor shower, and these lizard people
sought refuge underground, that they dug these tunnels, and
one of the network of tunnels was under the city
of Los Angeles. NARRATOR: According
to the legend, the lizard people carved out
vast chambers large enough to house 1,000 families
using advanced technologies such as a mysterious
chemical that could easily pore through bedrock. Shufelt obtained
permission from the city and began digging to try and
reach the vast tunnel system. The city council, perhaps
motivated by the alleged gold that was contained
within the tunnels, allowed Shufelt to dig a 250
foot shaft under the agreement that he would give them 50%
of the treasure if recovered. Warren Shufelt was a
successful mining engineer, and it seems that he had
some kind of connection at the Los Angeles Times,
since The Times really followed the story. It was a story that caught
the popular imagination. NARRATOR: After a
month of digging and not reaching
the tunnel system, Warren's Shufelt and his
team ran out of money and stopped the search. But fascination with the
story continues to this day. So now we have these stories
of underground people, a race living underground
in tunnels and bases. And I have to wonder, is
this some kind of reptilian extraterrestrials who have
taken control of our planet and are living underground? It seems incredible, and yet
it's what some of the stories are telling us. NARRATOR: Is it possible that an
advanced race of lizard people once lived underneath the
Western United States? And could they still
be there today? Astonishingly, a nearly
identical legend exists halfway around the world. Benares, India. Within this city lies
the well of Sheshna, which in Hindu
legend is an entrance into an underground
city of the Nagas, a race of semi-divine serpent
people known throughout Eastern culture. In Benares, the
sacred city of India, there is a well,
the well of Sheshna. This is one of the portals to
the underground city called Patala, and the Nagas
live in this place. It's a place of great power
and mystery and some danger. And only the holy can
make contact with it. Patala is the underworld
in Hindu mythology. There are many beings that
live in there, many reptilians, which are called Nagas. As a demigod, they must have
descended from the heaven to the earth to teach,
to give special qualities to the human world. Nagas are not
really evil being as in the Judeo-Christian context. NARRATOR: Ancient
astronaut theorists claim the Hindu
stories of the Nagas bear a striking
resemblance to the Hopi stories of lizard people who
also resided beneath the earth. So here we are linking the
Nagas, the serpent beings with the reptilian beings
of the Hopi tradition. We see a common thread
here of these beings who are at one time reviled
and also revered, but also as beings that have a
direct influence on humanity. NARRATOR: Is it
merely coincidence that extremely similar legends
of advanced reptilian beings living underground can be found
on opposite sides of the world? And is it possible
these reptilian underground dwellers surface
every so often to interact with humanity? Perhaps more clues can be
found in artifacts on unearthed in the cradle of civilization. Southern Iraq, 1923. British archaeologist
Sir Leonard Woolley leads an excavation to
uncover the remains of one of the oldest
agricultural communities in the world, the Ubaid culture,
which dates back to 5,900 BC. Among the remains, they discover
some unusual clay artifacts. Among the dwellings and tools,
they also discovered these strange-looking clay figurines. And I say strange because
they don't really look human. They have the facial features
of what seems to be reptiles. Now, is it possible that
the Sumerians were depicting a race of beings that were
living among them at the time? NARRATOR: Mainstream scholars
have debated the meaning of the statues since
their discovery, thinking perhaps they
were Sumerian gods. However, ancient
astronaut theorists believe the statues could
have a different meaning. These clay figurines
have these what are called coffee bean eyes. They have these
elongated skulls. They look very
much like some kind of reptilian extraterrestrial. And they're breast-feeding
children and doing very normal human things that you
wouldn't think that gods would necessarily be doing. So it's this mixture of human
activity with these reptilian aliens. So we're showing mammalian
reptilian physiology. When it shows them
holding those babies, it's not a normal thing to
have anywhere in iconography throughout the
entire world, and it makes you suspect
as to whether or not they had actual physical
contacts between them. NARRATOR: But just what are
these strange creatures? Where did the reptilians, that
have reportedly been witnessed by humans for thousands
of years, come from? Some ancient astronaut
theorists believe the answer can be found by
looking back not thousands of years but millions. Ottawa, Ontario, 1982. At the National
Museum of Canada, paleontologist and curator of
vertebrate fossils Dale Russell publishes a thought experiment. Based on the trend
toward larger brain sizes and the upright
posture of dinosaurs, he proposes a theory about
what one species of dinosaur would have evolved
into if it had survived the mass extinction
65 million years ago. What he did is take the
dinosaur known as troodon. They noticed the
morphological changes in the skeletal structure
of the dinosaur. And based on over time
where it was going, they extrapolated
it out further. And strangely enough
or wonderfully enough, they actually came up with
a model that resembled a humanoid reptilian being,
which actually matched that of the reports that
we were hearing now as well as reports
from ancient history. So for me, this was one of
the most compelling pieces of information, where science
actually says it is possible. The dinosaurs hadn't died out. This would have become what
he called the dinosauroid, an upright standing,
semi-humanoid, semi-reptilian entity, what we
might call a reptoid. He thought it might stand
four to five feet high, weigh about 90 pounds, and
have a fairly advanced brain. Now, did this entity
ever come into existence? What if some of the dinosaurs
didn't become extinct? What if they managed to survive
a global extinction or presumed extinction 65 million years
ago, and over time some of them developed through
natural selection and they grew smaller, they
became more intelligent, they became more
adept and adaptive, and took on a humanoid form? We necessarily shouldn't
think that the reptilians are extraterrestrials. Perhaps in some strange way
they're our forefathers, albeit from millions and
millions of years in the past. NARRATOR: If the
reptilians do exist, could they be the descendants of
dinosaurs that walked the earth millions of years ago? Our concept or dinosaurs
is changing all the time, of course. And nowadays we're making so
many new discoveries every year that we're reinterpreting
them in many ways. Certainly if you look
20, 30 years back, there were so many things
that have been found, and so many other
things we know now. in particular, I think it's been
very important that nowadays it's completely
very well accepted, the idea that dinosaurs are
not extinct, that dinosaurs essentially evolved into birds
and that they're alive today. And now that we know that
not all the dinosaurs died out, and as a matter of fact, some
survived to become birds, warm blooded birds, mind
you, from a dinosaur which is considered reptile
and cold blooded, we're recognizing that even
if these are birds now, we did recognize them now as
being part of the dinosaur family. What could these other
pockets that have survived the devastation 65
million years ago, could they have evolved parallel
to mankind in hidden cavern systems? And could they be
actually the beings that we think are
extraterrestrial but are actually our
terrestrial neighbors? Paleontologists generally
argue that the dinosaurs died out totally 65
million years ago. I think it's certainly within
the realm of feasibility that some found an ecological
niche to survive in, and may even exist today. And I point out that while
we hear UFO abductees talking about little greys and tall
humanoids, a minority of them do report encounters with
what we would call reptoids. So it's possible that on some
planet, if not earth, somewhere else they evolved
from dinosaurs. To find another place
in the universe that was so rich with resources and
so capable of supporting life was probably a very
exciting discovery for extratrerrestrial visitors
to earth in our prehistory. In their eyes, this could
have been the place they could colonize or perhaps act
as a working environment for experiments they were doing
with new species they were trying to engineer. Maybe they manipulated dinosaur
DNA to favor certain mutations. By playing with certain
mutations in the genes of dinosaurs, highly
advanced extraterrestrials, through genetic
modification, may have been able to alter the
course of dinosaur evolution to favor the rise of mammals. NARRATOR: Is it
possible celestial travelers manipulated the
DNA of reptiles and mammals on earth, as ancient
astronaut theorists believe? And could one of
their experiments have resulted in a reptilian
human hybrid species that now exists primarily underground? It's very possible that the
reptilian agenda extends well into our history. We really don't know the
full record of dinosaurs on our planet, since
dinosaurs were here for millions of years. Many of these references
to a current reptilian race or an ancient serpent
race that was worshipped by various cultures could be an
offshoot, a genetic variation of dinosaurs that naturally
evolved here on Earth. NARRATOR: If
extraterrestrials assisted the evolution of reptiles
as well as human beings, could there have
been some mixing of reptile and human genes? Perhaps we need to look no
further than our own bodies. Punjab, India, 2001. A boy named Balaji is born with
a bizarre deformity, a seven inch tail. Believing his tail to
be a sign of divinity, people begin flocking to his
house, offering prayers, money, and gifts, hoping their wishes
will be fulfilled in return. He otherwise seemed normal,
but he had a weird serpent-like tail at the base of his spine. And the reason why he
was being worshipped was that their own legends
reported beings with tails like this, and they thought that
he was the reincarnated form of one of the gods. NARRATOR: Over 100
cases of human tails have been reported in medical
journals since the 1800s. Every human embryo has a
small tail in the early stages of development, which is
absorbed by the growing body by nine weeks of pregnancy. Similarities in the
developmental stages of embryos in animals have been observed
for a very long time. Darwin noted that closely
related species often have embryos that start off
looking essentially identical. And then it's not until
later in development that they start to develop
some of their characteristics that sort of uniquely define
the different species. And in fact, our own embryos
have a tail, for instance, and look very much like the
embryos of other vertebrate animals if we go really, really
early into our development. If you go back far
enough, humans and reptiles share a common ancestor. If you go back about 300
million years before present, you find this group that's
evolving, where one line went off towards what's now the
reptiles and the birds, and the other line went off
to a whole series of animals, including the ancestors of
what became the mammals. And that occurred, that split
starts to occur by about 250 million years before present. For so many years, we grew
up thinking that reptiles were the closest relative
to dinosaurs, and now we know that's it's
a little bit different. In fact, if you look
at tyrannosaurus, it's essentially the
predecessor to modern birds. So we go way back, and we look
at how evolution has changed animal forms over the years,
and some of the mammals looked a lot like reptiles. They look like little
furred lizards, in fact. So yeah, I mean, looking
at the evolution of life on the planet, yeah,
we're all related. NARRATOR: In addition to
humans born with tails, there are other genetic
conditions that might suggest a link with our reptilian past. People with the
disease ichthyosis have dry, scaly skin. And people with the
diseases called syndactyly and ectrodactyly have fused
fingers and claw-like hands. There's even a biblical
legend that people who lived before the patriarch
Noah had webbed fingers. The legend says that
until the time of Noah all human beings were born
with webbed fingers, almost reptilian in nature, and that
Noah was the first to be born without that, and as such was
a sign and a symbol of things to come. NARRATOR: Might there
have been a time when reptilian characteristics
were more prevalent in humans? There are traditions
in numerous cultures of reptilian bloodlines
associated with royalty. According to legend,
Alexander the Great was sired by a dragon. Japanese legends
state the founder of the imperial dynasty,
Jimmu, was the great grandson of a dragon god. And in China, ancient emperors
were described as having a dragon-like appearance. Is it possible
these ancient rulers did have a more direct
connection to reptilian ancestors? The royal bloodline issue
is one of which they believe that the heredity of
certain individuals carried some form of
a unique signature in their blood that
was bestowed upon them by ancient reptilian
human beings. So let's ask this question,
why throughout known human history have there been
certain families and bloodlines that have claimed to be superior
to the rest of humanity? So superior that they have
a right to rule over them? Why did Chinese
emperors claim the right to rule because of their alleged
descendance from the serpent gods? Why did the kings
of Media, now Iran, why were they called the
dragon dynasty of Media? Why is this constant theme
unfolding all the way through history? NARRATOR: Might the stories
of rulers with reptilian bloodlines be true? And if so, is it
possible that all humans have a genetic connection
to reptilian ancestors? Some believe more proof
can be found in our brains. January 1977, esteemed
scientist Carl Sagan publishes his Pulitzer prize
winning book, Dragons of Eden, Speculations on the Evolution
of Human Intelligence. The book explores the theory
put forth by neuroscientist Paul McLean, which connects
parts of the brain to different time
periods in history. Paul McLean suggested that the
forebrain itself could actually be subdivided into three
different parts, one of which he called the reptilian complex. The other he called the
paleomammalian complex, or later was referred
to as the limbic system. And the third he called
the neomammalian complex. This was significant,
because he tied these three different aspects
of the forebrain to evolutionary history,
into development. So he suggested that the more
primitive reptilian brain was the oldest part of
the brain, and it was reminiscent of our
evolving from reptiles. So the reptilian complex,
or the basal ganglia, McLean associated with some of
the more aggressive behaviors or territoriality of some
of these things we typically associate with many
reptilian species. If a human only had the
reptilian part of the brain, they basically would be
operating just by instinct. If they want food, they
would just take it. If they want sex, they
would just rape the person. There'd be no higher
order thought at all. Carl Sagan suggested that
we need to actually focus on the reptilian
brain, because that's where these primitive urges of
aggression and territorialism come from, especially in
an age where we're involved with a lot of war and conflict,
and where governments are appealing to our fear and
our primitive aspects that are motivating us. NARRATOR: But is it possible
that the reptilian aspect of our brains, along with
rare human anomalies, like people born with tails,
scaly skin, and fused fingers might be the result of something
other than our evolution from prehistoric reptiles? Could it be evidence that the
so-called Reptilians not only exist, but that we may even
share a similar genetic makeup? Ancient astronaut
theorists believe the answer may lie with
religious texts describing human-like entities with
reptilian characteristics. Nag Hammadi, Egypt,
December 1945. A farmer discovers a sealed
earthenware jar containing 13 leather-bound papyrus books. These books, now known as
the Nag Hammadi Codices, were written by the early
Christians known as Gnostics in the first several
centuries AD. These mysterious texts
contain the Gospels of Thomas and Philip, as well
as other previously unknown secret gospels. Mixed in with the
religious writings are poems, instructions
for mystical practice, and a description of the
origin of the universe. That shed a
great deal of light on early religious
issues, biblical texts, and biblical history. But they made a mention
of a very mysterious race of creatures that have
become known as the Archons. We don't really know what
the Archons were or even are. What's interesting is
that there is actually a depiction or a
description of the Archons looking definitively reptilian. So this has given
rise to the idea that perhaps the Reptilians, the
Archons, were one and the same. They're very robot-like,
very machine-like, and therefore very predictable. And given that you see the
machine-like nature of so many reptilian animals and what
have you in the human society, there is a correlation
between the two and why the reptilian form
is so common an expression of this machine-like,
unemotional, computer-like mentality. NARRATOR: Considering that the
reptilian aspect of our brains is believed to be
responsible for our most aggressive and
reflexive behaviors, is it possible the
stories of the Archons really are describing
reptilian humanoid beings? And might our own so-called
reptilian traits really be the product of
alien engineering? People focus on the Garden
of Eden story in the Bible, as if it's a one off. Look around the world, and
you'll find similar stories on a similar theme. It seems to be talking about
when humans were created, Adam and Eve. I would strongly
suggest from my research that actually it's not
talking about that at all. It's talking about the point
when human genetics were interfered with and
genetically manipulated. And so humans became at
that point themselves a hybrid, which had a great
infusion, I would suggest, of what I would call Archon
genetics, symbolically the serpent in the
Garden of Eden. One could make the argument
that the being that approached Eve in the Garden of Eden
might have been a Reptilian. And one suggestion is that
the whole idea of the Garden of Eden was nothing else but
some type of a lab, a lab that was run by extraterrestrials
in which we were ultimately created. Now, this sounds
absolutely insane, and I'm aware of
how this sounds. But if you look
into the whole story along with all the other
supporting accounts, then if you are of
the same mindset, you could potentially come
to the same conclusion. NARRATOR: Are human
beings really the product of genetic manipulation by
extraterrestrial visitors? And were our ancestors some
form of reptilian human hybrid? Many ancient astronaut
theorists say yes, and they believe that reptilian
humanoids not only existed on our planet tens of
thousands of years ago, but that they are alive and
well and living among us to this day. Eugene, Oregon, 1982. Wes Penry woke up in his bedroom
feeling paralyzed and icy cold. He saw what he described
as a horrible creature across the room, green,
hairless, extremely muscular, and with red, glowing eyes. Wes was terrified until
the creature disappeared from his room. During the early 1980s, I
noticed that there were reports coming across of individuals who
claimed to have had contact not with the small diminutive
little gray beings or the Nordic blondes from the '50s. These were quite different. These were reptilian
humanoid beings. In other words, humanoid beings
that had reptilian physiology to their outer appearance. And they started showing up
in some of the shadows of some of the more reliable cases
that I was investigating. I'm aware of a number of
cases where people have woken up in the middle of the
night, sort of frozen in bed, unable to move, and seen
these seven to eight foot tall reptilian type creatures
just hovering over them. And each and every person
who's reported on this has just got a sense of just
complete dread and hatred. Now, you could, I guess,
make the argument the person was so terrified, they
assume that the Reptilians were hostile. That's an interesting
angle to take. Maybe it's just
they look fierce, they look intimidating, that
we necessarily assume they are. Perhaps they're not. NARRATOR: Could recent
reports of human encounters with strange reptile-like
creatures really be proof that our reptilian
ancestors still exist? But if so, what is
their objective? The Reptilian
agenda is very simple. They are seeking to
hijack life on earth, to, over now thousands
of years and more, infiltrate and infiltrate
human society, to change it into their image, to centralize
power in the hands of those that represent their
interests to the point where they dictate
from a central point. You have to wonder just
what role Reptilians do play in this planet, and whether
there's some kind of battle between various
extraterrestrial races, and that the Reptilians
have been forced underground away from our civilization by
other extraterrestrials, who have, in a sense, won the
battle for planet Earth. Because the reptilian seem
hostile and look hostile, does that mean there's an
agenda to take us over, to wipe us out? I don't know. We could look at it from the
perspective we're like cattle. Reptilians have no
desire to wipe us out, but in some capacity we're
useful to them, in the same way that a cow is
useful to a farmer. Personally, I do not subscribe
to the Reptilian agenda. We are not slaves. We have free will. We can do whatever
the hell we want. It is very easy for human
beings to say, oh, look, the reason why
we're in this shape on planet Earth is because
we are a slave species, we are beholden to them. I would have to say that the
thing that will finally unite humans and reptoids together
is actually the fact that we all descended
from a common heritage. And even though we
look different now, if we share our planet and have
different physical appearances, it doesn't really matter. I think it would be great
to reinvent humankind by introducing us to
another alien species. So there are advantages
to be had for contact with these entities. NARRATOR: Do scaly humanoid
creatures known as reptilians really exist? And if so, are they an
alien-created species, one which harbors a
sinister plan for humanity? Or will they reveal themselves
to be our genetic brothers and initiate a future where
reptilians and humans finally become one?
