NARRATOR: July 2021.
Giorgio Tsoukalos and William Henry
have been granted special access to Rock Art Ranch in Winslow,
Arizona, where Navajo tribal elder
Jon Dover is guiding them through
the ancient petroglyph panels.
Wow.
Look at this!
[dramatic music]
I mean, look at the hollow body with the star inside--
WILLIAM HENRY: Mm-hmm.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: --one hand pointed to sky,
the other down to Earth.
And just beneath that, look at-- that is a gray alien.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: That triangular head--
WILLIAM HENRY: That is a--
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: --very strange.
WILLIAM HENRY: Yeah, it is.
JON DOVER: You have all kinds of different types
of figures, different representations of gods.
Right.
I mean, what we have to fill in with our imagination is
that these beings off the wall, 3D,
walking amongst the people--
Yeah.
[laughs]
--they're interacting with these beings.
Right.
We don't know if it's the same time.
WILLIAM HENRY: Right.
Or it could be different times.
That's mind-blowing.
I'm so intrigued by that double helix up there,
too, beside the trapezoidal figure.
JON DOVER: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM HENRY: I mean--
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: As if to indicate,
because of the creature on the left, DNA, you know,
had something-- WILLIAM HENRY: Right.
--to do with this.
That's right.
Giorgio, when you see the guy with the trapezoidal body--
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Mm-hmm?
WILLIAM HENRY: --and you see the curvy lines
on the body, that always symbolizes, like, vibration.
OK.
The-- the Anunnaki wore cloaks that had those kind
of curvy lines all over them.
Right.
And so here we have a clear, clear, symbolic connection with
the Anunnaki on this figure.
NARRATOR: The Anunnaki were powerful deities worshipped
more than 5,000 years ago by the ancient Sumerians
who inhabited Mesopotamia, an area
that is now modern-day Iraq.
According to the Sumerian writings,
the Anunnaki descended upon a mountain
shining like the sun and shared profound wisdom
with the human race.
WILLIAM HENRY: Look at all the different types of beings here.
And then all the way across there,
you've still got even more variety.
I mean, this is almost like a meeting
place of all these different worlds and different beings.
So, you know, you have giants.
You have little people.
And the giants and the little people
are talked about in the-- the other world
that they came from before they came to this world.
So-- and this is the same with Sego Canyon up in Utah.
You have these massive, massive carvings and petroglyphs.
So-- WILLIAM HENRY: Yeah.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: --the fact that we have these virtually
identical motifs, to me, suggests they were all
taught by the same teachers.
And the guy here with the horns,
which could be raised, right next to the gray alien.
He's got horns that are raised coming off of his head.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Mm-hmm.
WILLIAM HENRY: You see that at Val Camonica in Italy--
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Yes, you do.
WILLIAM HENRY: --and all kinds of different places.
And again, pointing to the idea that these
could be luminous or radiant beings that they're portraying.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: And seeing creatures here
having, for example, three fingers--
WILLIAM HENRY: Mm-hmm.
--you know, as far as I know, except
for a couple of reptiles, there aren't any
three-fingered creatures.
No.
You know?
So-- and especially nothing humanoid.
Right.
So again, our ancestors had impeccable powers
of observation.
JON DOVER: That's true.
That's all they did all day.
They-- they observed.
And so your estimation then, too,
is that this was not a bunch of kids,
you know, on a Saturday night not knowing what to do.
Absolutely not.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: [laughs]
These-- these were people that came here with a purpose.
WILLIAM HENRY: Mm-hmm.
And the purpose was to put their history on the wall,
showing where they came from, where they were going.
Jon, this is incredible.
And what I love the most is the access.
I mean, I've never been face-to-face like this.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: There's a lot of places
nobody's allowed to go except for archaeologists--
WILLIAM HENRY: Mm-hmm.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: --medicine men, and rangers.
WILLIAM HENRY: It's spectacular.
It's one thing to see images in a book or online.
But to come face-to-face with it,
feel the energy, see it, spectacular.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: Yeah.
WILLIAM HENRY: I came away with this deep sense
that this is meant for us to discover throughout the ages,
that it was super important to the ancients
to record this information to tell us
that these beings were here, they
had a hand in our evolution.
And they're probably still visiting us today.
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: What I think is
important in this whole thing is that Jon said,
these are our stories of the Star People.
And when First Nation cultures say that someone visited
from the sky and imparted knowledge,
I think it's time that we start to listen.
