NARRATOR: The Susa Valley, 966 AD.
While ascending Mount Pirchiriano 25 miles west
of Turin and directly across from Mount Musine,
a Catholic bishop is startled by an incredible sight that
suddenly appears in the sky.
He sees strange lights in the sky,
and these things are described as planks and globes made
of fire, firstly appearing to be on the mountain itself,
then rising up, flying around across the sky.
But they weren't just sightings.
They were sightings that had a profound consequence.
These strange sightings prompted the bishop
to say this will be the site on which we will
build the new abbey that came to be
known as Sacra di San Michele.
So once again we have what seems to be extraterrestrials
giving a light show for people, wanting to attract
their attention, and perhaps inspiring them to do
certain things.
NARRATOR: The Sacra di San Michele,
or St. Michael's Abbey, still stands atop Mount Pirchiriano
today.
It is to this sacred abbey that ancient-astronaut theorist
William Henry is headed with author and historian
Gnomo Orzo who plans to reveal a historic secret.
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
Look at this. - Yes.
Wow.
Susa Valley.
Wow.
Look.
That's incredible.
WILLIAM HENRY: Musine.
GNOMO ORZO: Yeah.
It's like Musine and Sacra are twin peaks.
GNOMO ORZO: Yes.
And in this place where the Sacra was built,
we have some other interesting phenomenon--
NARRATOR: According to ancient stories,
in this area of the Saint Michael line,
the energy line or ley line that many believe runs straight
through Italy, a highly advanced civilization
existed thousands of years ago, a civilization that
began when the god Phaethon came down from the sky
in his fiery chariot.
The local accounts of Phaethon not only connect this figure
with the ancient Greeks but also the ancient Egyptians,
and some ancient-astronaut theorists
suggest that as a bringer of technology,
Phaethon could be the same extraterrestrial being that
was known in Egypt as Ptah.
Their names are very similar, Ptah and Phaethon.
The legend says that Phaethon founded Turin
in honor of the Apis bull.
Turin or Torino is called the city of the bull.
Now this is very interesting because in ancient Egypt
where the reverence for the Api bull originated,
we're told that the Api bull or Apis
bull was actually the Egyptian god
of technology Ptah incarnate.
Ptah was the Egyptian god of smithcraft and alchemy.
So we have to ask the question, is Musine, a place that
was known in the ancient world, where the secrets of alchemy
were ultimately going to be stored or could be accessed?
There seems to be a very important connection
between the cosmic knowledge of metallurgy, which was brought
to Earth by the gods, and some kind of energy
present at Mount Musine.
