The Lost Ancient Humans of Antarctica

According to mainstream history, the human story is quite simple. The first humans originated in Africa. Some migrated north and settle in Europe and others trekked east through the deserts over the mountains of Asia across the Bering Strait and down into the Americas. This is a neat clean linear path to teach in schools, but what happens when we find evidence that doesn't fit the mainstream puzzle? With new discoveries in genetic testing we are finding that the human story is a complex tangled web. The presentation you are about to witness is from the original Gaia series, ancient civilizations. This episode will examine the Paracas people of Peru, the Denisovan Giants of Siberia and the possibility of an advanced ancient civilization on Antarctica. Who were these ancient beings? Why did they vanish? and what can they tell us about our own existence? sit back and enjoy this fascinating presentation. in 2014 dr. Neil Ross and a team of scientists from the University of Bristol's glaciology Center published their discovery of a valley the size of the Grand Canyon in West Antarctica despite being covered beneath several kilometers of ice the depression was so vast that it could be seen from space some theorists were quick to conclude that before the great Ice Age Antarctica like the six other continents was likely to have been home to ancient civilizations dr. ross eloquently summarized that the implications of his research served merely to demonstrate how much we still have to discover about our planet but could it be possible that there are ruins perhaps ruins even older than gobekli tepe to be discovered deep beneath the glaciers one of the consequences of global warming is that the ice on the poles has receded tremendously including Antarctica and the the thickness of the ice as it is reduced allows greater visibility from earth penetrating radar so we can see what's underneath the ice one of the surprises is that the satellite images are sending back now would appear to be large-scale complex archaeological sites so they're they're not small hunting villages and pit houses these look like advanced technological civilizations that we're seeing underneath the ice one of the reasons this is a problem for historians is because the ice sheet and in Antarctica originated most recently we've had multiple ice sheets the most recent about 20,000 years ago and that opens the door to the question who was here 20,000 years ago to build complex archaeological structures on the continent of Antarctica and what role does that play in the history in the mythology that's almost Universal of ancient civilizations it may be what we now see is the six cradles of civilization very soon we'll expand to at least seven and possibly more you get reports occasionally of structures being found they're merging out of the ice Antarctica just recently there was one which took my attention to do with what was described as almost like an inn banged like a hill fault that was found and that struck my attention has been different to all the other stories and this raises my hopes that these settlements did actually exist I think this matter should be looked into more the only problem is can we interest archaeologists to spend good money to go to Antarctica to investigate these sites I think it's possible that as the ice starts to melt in Antarctica which it is doing more and more that it will reveal structures and if this is the case those structures have probably been buried in the ice for tens of thousands of years so these are gonna be very very ancient indeed and they could easily be their product of hybrid descendants could it really be true that there was once an unknown civilization of ancient beings in Antarctica in 1929 a map was discovered inside Istanbul's to copy palace depicting antarctica before it was covered with ice archaeologists have been able to carbon date the maps creation back to a Turkish Admiral and cartographer named Perry Reiss who plotted it in 1513 this age was hundreds of years before the continent was discovered by modern man rhesus map has both conventional and alternative scholars flummoxed where did he gathered his knowledge if the landmass depicted is indeed Antarctica is it possible that our true origins date back to a prehistoric seafaring civilization while mainstream scientists are resistant to get behind these findings no other explanation for the mysteries this map presents have been offered but with global warming exposing new topography under the glaciers harder evidence may be just around the corner we are about to hear from official sources that architecture has been located in Antarctica that will confirm that there was in fact intelligently built ruins down there and that would be a world-changing thing of significance this Atlantean legend has an incredible amount of provable data behind it and if we do get the disclosure that we're being promised this is going to become an open public acknowledged thing that there are in fact stone monuments under the ice in Antarctica that are very ancient if that happens everything that we thought we knew about human history has to be rewritten and we're now dealing with ancient civilizations far predating those which we now acknowledge to be true most academics believe that all Native American people no matter where you find them that all of their ancestors came across the Bering Land Bridge and that they all only had four genotypes a B C and D anybody who's a pure blooded Indian or native person in the Americas their whole haplogroup or genetics are a B C or D but we've tested three of these so far and they are not a B C or D they show ancestry either from Europe or the Middle East or the Middle East people who moved to Europe so that completely blows the theory that there was only one way to get to the Americas in pre-columbian times it means that people were sailing the oceans thousands of years ago and they knew where they were going and they had the capability of navigation to be able to circumnavigate the planet long before the Vikings we've been taught so little in school about the history of humanity and academics have a tendency to not talk to indigenous people about their own history they think they made their stories up about where their ancestors came from in 2011 geochemist Stacy Lowry found evidence that America and Antarctica were once joined before a billion years of continental drift sent them in different directions since then more geologists have come forward with tests showing that the composition of magnetic isotopes in rocks taken from Antarctica's coastland were indistinguishable from samples of rocks in a rift that runs through the Great Lakes of Michigan the two rock samples are reportedly the exact same age and have identical chemical properties if Antarctica was once connected to the Americas then is it also possible that the same pre-adamite species once populated both more than 55 thousand years ago Brian Forester brings us back to the DNA of ancient humans and what it might reveal the ancestry of these people could be incredibly complicated initial DNA results indicated that at least part of their bloodline is not Native American whatsoever so we're looking at the possibility that part of their ancestry is from the Middle East which means they did not cross the Bering Land Bridge like all other Native Americans ancestors supposedly did and that would be a major historical discovery I've been studying these these people for about eight to ten years it seems that only the nobility of the practice culture of the coast of Peru had elongated skulls and the preservation in that area is almost perfect so we do have examples of the skulls with hair and the hair is always red and its genetic red it's not the result of bleaching or sore the Sun or something like that and so red hair originates in the Middle East in Iraq Iran and Afghanistan so if they had red hair they likely had light-colored skin as well possibly as green or blue eyes all three of those characteristics are not typical of Native American people so that could very well indicate that those ancestors sailed from the Middle East to the coast of Peru in 1928 in a desert on the baracus peninsula on the south coast of Peru archaeologists Julio Telo unearthed a graveyard filled with the remains of corpses with the largest elongated skulls found anywhere in the world some were dated back as far as 3,000 years this discovery shocked scientific communities because it challenged what had been recorded in Peruvian and human history Telos discovery has since become known as the peruca skulls and even more astoundingly since 1928 other elongated skulls have been found the oldest elongated skulls in the world have been discovered in Iraq in one specific cave and the initial DNA testing that we've been able to do indicates that these people had haplogroups which are either from northern Europe or from the Middle East what exactly they are will require rigorous scientific examination we were able to do DNA testing of a baby that died at 18 months and had strawberry blonde hair which is not Native American and the analysis that was done indicated that it had segments of DNA that do not match anything known to be human and we also know that all ancestors of Native Americans all of their ancestors are believed to across the bering land bridge from south or from eastern asia so nobody from the Middle East or from Europe would walk across all of Asia in order to cross into North America these ancient people had seafaring skills they knew how to build boats and they knew how to sail thousands of years before the Vikings or Columbus or anyone like that so it's quite likely that they migrated by sea through the Indian Ocean and then across the Pacific skeptics have long dismissed the validity of the remains found with elongated skulls as being scientific proof of pre-adamite s-- they claim that these skulls are artificial an objection made even more complicated by the fact that there have been tribes who practiced cranial deformation on infants when it comes to the discovery of elongated heads a lot of the mainstream scientists might shrug it off and say well this is an indication of binding they believe that humans bound their skulls to make themselves look like they had these massive heads which doesn't quite make sense unless you actually did have some kind of gods who had those heads and you were trying to imitate those heads the cranial deformation is where a newborn child's head is bound usually with something like leather or possibly wood on the front and back wrapped it with some kind of textile so by 3 years old the child's skull is completely bone and then therefore throughout their life they maintain that design it was done in order to differentiate physically the nobility from the common class but you can distinguish between cranial deformation and what I'm talking about you see the obvious flattening of the front and back of the skull with cranial deformation I've studied this subject about elongated skulls for about eight years and as I said they did exist on all six inhabited continents but almost all of them are the example of cranial deformation which is changing the shape of the skull however in the case of the practice we have the largest elongated skulls ever found on the planet and that makes the practice culture very specifically interesting we've even found babies skeletons where the skull is elongated there was one recently I saw of a probably three-month-old and its head was twice the size of normal so it's not just that the shape is different the volume is different and medical experts have looked at these and they said you can change the shape of a baby's head because it's very soft to begin with but you can't increase the volume so that by itself is telling us we're looking at a genetic variation in 2013 russian photographer georg Isidora discovered a colossal megalith in a remote wilderness area in siberia during an expedition in the foothills of mount Shaurya near Altai Sidora came upon a great wall of granite blocks what made his discovery unusual was that these gargantuan stones had flat surfaces right angles and sharp corners reminiscent of cyclopean masonry the thing is that nature does not happen to see straight angles all blocks are built like in a brick wall all of them have straight angles like a castle there are thousands of clues that say this formation is built by a form of intelligence the beauty and precision of this 130-foot structure has left archaeologists with no explanation for how such an arrangement could have formed naturally geologists have estimated that the largest blocks of granite had mount Shaurya weigh three to four thousand tons before this the pregnant woman stone of Baalbek weighing 1,500 tons was the largest single stone used in an ancient site you have these beautiful little walls our perfect straight lines of perfect right angles you have these massive blocks of granite that looked like this someone's taken a big diamond drill and sword them right down the middle on granite ethical effort the Russian scientists that went there they discover some things which cannot be explained by nature which are these beautiful round plumbers term hot surfaces where they've taken a drill and they form a perfect depression and they also have these perfect tunnels and these doorways they're simply very deliberately put there so maybe what we're doing here is taking an entire Mountain has been completely shaped by human hands the megalithic structure discovered in all time mountains near the denis have been cave hearkens really to structures like Baalbek and Lebanon these cyclopean megalithic structures that are hundreds of tons and weight stones so large that even our best equipment today can could not possibly even come close to lifting them and that they were using a type of science and mathematical understanding that just wasn't available to our ancient ancestors if Georg a sidorov's discovery is real could it be evidence that remote Siberia was once home to an advanced civilization near this discovery of the megalithic wall scientists believe they have found bones from a new species could these places be linked in 2008 archaeologists made world headlines when they unearthed a Paleolithic finger bone from a juvenile female estimated to be 41 thousand years old further DNA analysis indicated the finger was from a previously unknown and extinct homonym subspecies these previously unknown ancestors were christened with the name Denisovan the Denisovans are probably the most exciting discovery in the origins of humanity for decades I mean that arguably even in the last hundred years because we're talking about previously unknown let's say human population who are different than the Neanderthals they're different to anatomical modern humans the Denisovans occupied large areas of central southern and eastern asia for anything up to two hundred thousand years they've told us for instance that many modern day human populations in the eastern part of the raishin continent have the DNA that which has been inherited from the Denisovans in a similar manner to how the people of the Western Eurasian continent have DNA within them of the Neanderthals they were of extreme size not just broad but of extreme Heights perhaps even as much as seven feet tall but the DNA from these fossil remains have told us so much it has archaeologists coming up in rashes because suddenly we have here another human species that completely forgotten but who was this forgotten species and how could their destiny on the planet be linked with ours firstly we know that a further tooth that was found in the Denisova cave but they didn't really know too much about it there's now been confirmed to be that of a the niece of a woman it's about 125,000 years old and this confirms that the Denisovans were in this area for much longer period than had initially been suggested but that's many many generations that means that they were incredibly developed population you go back before 200,000 years and and in many areas at that time our species was coexisting with other human species who who were human enough for us to interbreed with them for example the Neanderthals for example the recently discovered Denisovans both of these human species who are not anatomically modern humans have left traces in our anatomically modern human DNA we have to ask if we're talking of records going back hundreds of thousands of years is it possible that these other human species reached a high level of development during their tenure of life on earth is it is it possible that they were advanced in some way artifacts found in recent archeological digs at the cave suggest that the Denisovans were not only large of highly intelligent some scientists like Jack Kerry believed they had the ability to create sophisticated technology the denis simmons had to be much more advanced than what they're being credited with i say that because of the discovery of a piece of jewelry that they found in the original denisa van cave that dated 40,000 years ago it was made of a green polished rock and anthropologists believe that this jewellery was only worn on very special occasions that indicates a culture it indicates art it indicates a higher understanding of reality these aren't people that were simply clubbing animals to death and using their furs these were people that were literally constructing jewelry that's something a lot of anthropologists are uneasy with because it shows a depth of understanding and and beauty and their culture that really shouldn't have existed with such ancient hominids the alcohol just kept digging a bit more as they tend to do and they found that when they got to a layer that's about 380,000 years they found tools there they found a needle they found certain artifacts looks like bracelets and other ornaments and they also found the ring which has been beautifully shaped out of rock it has been obviously machine and polished beautiful bound needles have been found in the dennis of a cave suggesting that the Denisovans wore tailored clothing host DNA has also been found inside the cave itself suggesting that the Denisovans not only hunted horses but probably domesticated them and may even have ridden horses and this is probably tens of thousands of years before it was even thought possible that you could ride horses something that was considered conventionally to only have occurred in Bronze Age times and yet here we have papal forty to fifty thousand years ago who were riding horses domesticated them catching them the siberian fossil remains found in Altai have challenged scientists to re-examine the transformation of human DNA there's been a explosion of new information in this field partly thanks to new genetic sequencing techniques and deep analysis of DNA and it's clear that the story of the evolution of anatomically modern humans is much more complicated the DNA breakthrough is we now know that our anatomically modern human ancestors interbred with Neanderthals so we're a mixture of Neanderthals and the creature that became anatomically modern humans and then adding further complication to the picture Denisovan DNA is also found in the anatomically modern human genome trace elements in some areas quite large amounts in others the Denisovans passed to us various genes which have been important in our own development for instance in the Tibetan Plateau the Sherpas and the indigenous peoples their their ability to be able to spend long periods in extremely high altitudes comes from a gene which was inherited we now know from the Denisovans there were other genes as well to do with their appearance our intellect our consciousness were also first developed through this idea of this hybridization there are many modern populations around the world that have high levels of Denisovan DNA within their genes we're talking about India Southeast Asia Java Australia Melanesia Micronesia various Native American people's in Canada in Mexico also in the the northern part of South America have all got Denisovan DNA these are all the descendants of the Denisovans if Denisovans roamed the earth for thousands of years crossbreeding with other sapiens it could explain how traces of their DNA have been found thousands of miles from Siberia in North America it is almost certain that the Denisovans and their hybrid descendants ended up coming in to the Americas indeed it's now been found that in several different Native American peoples Denisovan DNA exists and this proves that they were the Giants of Legends and that they are responsible for the human skeletons the oversized human skeletons that are found in mound complexes all over North America I think we're just at the beginning of the process of unraveling the mystery of what all of this means it's almost heretical to say so in context of modern anthropology but I think we're going to have to revisit the Out of Africa model it may be that the evolution that led to anatomically modern humans didn't take place entirely in Africa we're looking at actually a very complicated picture that ultimately results in us no Denisovans live today no Neanderthals live today we are the sole survivors of that intermingling of slightly different and sometimes very different-looking but genetically close human species how will this discovery shape our future what other discoveries will come out within the next few years that will push our understanding of humanity when we go back in time and we look at the evolution of species on earth we have all these different time periods that we can examine but it's very difficult for us as a species to see the whole picture it's like a bunch of puzzle pieces that we're still trying to put together and as the puzzle comes together we start to solve more and more about our origins and where we come from and and we're constantly in this evolutionary process trying to put something in front of ourselves that makes sense but it's so multi-dimensional it's hard to see perhaps archaeologists and scientists have just scratched the surface in the lineage of human DNA and where it might be going it might not be so obvious to us because we live in a very day to day basis in a very short period of time but I do believe that we adapt as a species and I think that that adaptation is happening right as we speak right now we have climate change that's upon us how humans going to look 50 100 a thousand years from now I bet they will look much different I think it's all relative but there was a time when the Neanderthals were relative the earth there's a time when fifteen-foot people were relative to the earth and the time for Homo sapiens also came along mainstream archeology would not go any further than the lair of about a thousand BC because you might just find something that would completely upend the entire notion of where we come from and who we really are and how old we really are I think it's a much more complicated story than we've imagined and I must say the advances in DNA and in genetic work are incredibly important in in solving this problem we're now having to consider the possibility there were multiple human-like species that that existed on the planet we're the only ones that are left as far as we know our evolutionary process within our minds is what now needs to catch up this is why we're trying to put all the pieces of the puzzle back together so that we can understand what our origins are and really where we need to go we're not there yet but we're close if we are just beginning to understand our origins on this planet what will we discover next and how will that change the course of humanity does our evolution depend on the consciousness of this planet will the past unlock our hidden code of potentiality and will we be able to survive as a species here on earth and throughout the Stars if we look all around us we see patterns patterns in nature reflected on ancient monuments codes in ancient languages stories depicted about our past and who might have influenced it who are we and where did we come from these are the primordial questions we try to answer in this series but the answer is still out there carved in stone buried below the surface and right before

Well, some claim from mud, and some claim from sludge.

They look like they're about to... have a moment.

This totally gets distracted from the Antarctica thing after about 7 minutes.
