So clearly this feature, if it was created,
这意味着它必须要从上面看
was meant to be viewed from above.
对马克来说 一个重要的因素是光线变化对数据造成的影响
One important factor for Mark is how information looks when the lighting changes.
如果荒原守护者在不同的情况下仍然以面孔的形式出现
If the Badlands Guardian still appears as a face under different conditions,
它可能会加强这是一个人造结构的论点
it could strengthen the argument that it's an artificial structure.
正如你所看到的 我们在这些视图中模拟的是中午的视图 所以太阳是在中午时分
And as you can see, what we've simulated here in these views are noontime views, so the Sun is at noon,
这是在夏天……
in the summer...
春天或秋天和冬天
the spring or fall and the winter.
注意在冬天 阴影更长
Notice in the winter the shadows are longer.
太阳在天空中比较低
The Sun is lower in the sky.
在这三种情况下 你肯定会得到一张脸的印象
And in all three, you definitely get this impression of a face.
这意味着它很有趣
It implies it's very interesting,
如果不是人工创造的
and if it's not, uh, artificially created,
大自然对我们开了一个大玩笑
nature is having a great joke on us.
对我来说 荒原守护者看起来像人造的
To me, the Badlands Guardian looks artificial.
这看起来不像是因为大自然的把戏 才导致我的幻想性错觉
It doesn't look like a trick of nature and that I'm suffering from apophenia.
所有人都会产生幻想性错觉
All humans do have apophenia,
这意味着他们看到的样式可能不是实际的样子
meaning they see patterns where patterns are not.
这就是为什么我们会在云里看到米老鼠等等
That's why we see Mickey Mouse in the clouds and so on.
但这看起来“太”像某种戴头饰的当地人了
But this looks "too" specifically like some type of native person with a headdress on.
看看这张照片
Looking at this picture,
你可以看到自然侵蚀的样式
you can see the natural patterns of erosion.
从这幅图中 我很清楚看到这是一个人造结构
So it's clear to me from this picture that this is an artificial structure.
萨斯喀彻温省的一位祖母 是否偶然发现了地球上存在外星干预的物证?
Did a grandmother in Saskatchewan accidentally discover physical evidence of extraterrestrial intervention on Earth?
但如果是的话 它在那里多久了?
But if so, how long has it been there?
是谁造的?
Who built it?
这意味着什么呢?
And what does it mean?
也许通过研究世界各地发现的其他地理符号♥ 以及他们所描绘的奇怪雕像
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining other geoglyphs that have been discovered all over the world,
可以找到进一步的线索
and the strange figures they depict.
在1820年
In 1820,
著名的德国数学家和物理学家 卡尔·弗里德里希·高斯 开始探索
the prominent German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss began to explore the possibility
我们的太阳系里还有其他智慧生命的可能性
that there are other intelligent beings in our solar system.
他假设外星生命可能通过使用先进的技术来查看我们星球的表面
He hypothesized that alien life-forms might be able to view the surface of our planet through the use of superior technology,
并提出我们可以尝试通过创建大规模的地理形状
and proposed that we could attempt to communicate with them by creating large-scale shapes
和地球上的雕像来与他们交流 也就是今天所称的地理符号♥
and figures in the Earth... what are known today as geoglyphs.
高斯的想法很简单
Gauss' idea was simple,
森林被种植成直角三角形的形状 以便从很远的地方
that tracks of forests be planted in the shape of right triangles so that at great distances,
从太空中 就可以看到三角形的图案
patterns of triangles would be visible from space.
他试图想出一个主意 我们如何在地球上表明我们的存在
He tried to come up with an idea of how we could signal our existence here down on Earth,
不仅仅是发射信♥号♥♥
and not just signal,
而是告诉他们我们很聪明
but to tell 'em that we were intelligent.
所以他设计了这个巨大的西伯利亚地理符号♥ 展示了毕达哥拉斯三角
So what he devised was to create this huge geoglyph in Siberia showing the Pythagorean triangle.
这个问题只有在你有数学知识的情况下才能解决
This is something that you can only work out if you have mathematical knowledge.
所以他想把这些知识传递给我们星球之外的智能生物
So he wanted to convey this knowledge to these intelligences outside of our own planet.
在高斯提出在地球上创造算数图像与外星人交流的一个多世纪后
More than a century after Gauss proposed creating figures in the Earth to communicate with extraterrestrials,
20世纪30年代 在秘鲁南部上空飞行的飞行员 发现了数百个巨大的蚀刻在沙漠土壤中的地理符号♥:
pilots flying over southern Peru in the 1930s discovered hundreds of giant geoglyphs etched into the desert soil:
纳斯卡线条
the Nazca Lines.
因为没有关于纳斯卡线条形成的时间和原因的记录…… 甚至不知道是谁造的……
As there is no record of when or why the Nazca Lines were formed... or even who made them...
学者们只能猜测它们的作用
scholars can only guess as to what purpose they served.
但是 这些地理符号♥是否可能是古人创造的吗? 他们所做的正是卡尔·高斯所提议的那样:
But is it possible that these geoglyphs were created by ancient people who were doing exactly what Carl Gauss proposed:
试图与俯视地球的生物交流?
attempting to communicate with beings looking down on Earth from above?
这是一个很大的区域 这些直线延伸了很多很多英里
This is a huge area where these straight lines stretch for many, many miles.
然后 像蜘蛛、鸟类和其他动物的肖像也雕刻在景观中
And then effigies such as spiders and birds and other animals also carved into the landscape.
直到飞机的发明 我们才能够从他们设计的有利点观察到纳斯卡线条
It wasn't until the invention of the airplane that we were able to observe the Nazca Lines from the vantage point they were designed for.
有了从新的高度看地球的能力
With the ability to see the Earth from new heights,
越来越多的地理符号♥被发现
more and more geoglyphs were discovered.
现在 通过卫星图像
And now, with satellite imagery,
我们发现祖先在世界各地都创造了类似的样式
it has been revealed that our ancestors created similar formations all over the world.
他们在亚洲、中东、非洲、
They've been finding geoglyphs in Asia, the Middle East, Africa,
北美 南美 澳大利亚
North America, South America, Australia,
在世界各地 他们都找到了地理符号♥
all over the world they're finding geoglyphs.
我们有土制的地理符号♥ 比如俄亥俄州的蛇丘
We have earthen geoglyphs such as Serpent Mound in Ohio.
在英格兰的格拉斯顿伯里 我们有格拉斯顿伯里十二宫
In England, at Glastonbury, we have the Glastonbury Zodiac,
星座雕刻成的风景
constellations carved into the landscape.
我们还有位于美国西部的布莱斯凹雕
We also have the Blythe Intaglios in the western part of America.
世界上所有的这些地理符号♥都表明 古代人把地球当作画布
So all this geoglyphs all over the world do suggest that the ancients were using the Earth as, like, a canvas,
但他们为什么要这样做呢?
but why would they do this?
他们是在向天空发送信息 让其他人看到吗?
Were they sending messages up into the sky for other beings to see?
它可能是某种测试
It might be a test of some sort,
一种密♥码♥ 一种谜题
uh, a code, a puzzle.
我们只有在发展了动力飞行和卫星之后才会意识到这一点
Something that we would only recognize when we had developed powered flight and satellites.
它会导致下一步结果吗?
Does it lead to a next step?
这些巨大的地理符号♥
These massive geoglyphs,
它们不是为了艺术而艺术
they're not art for art's sake.
他们这么做有一个非常明确的目的
They did it for a very specific purpose,
目的是为了与外星生物交流和互动
for a purpose of communicating with and interacting with extraterrestrial beings.
有没有可能外星文明正在像卡尔·高斯预测的那样在监视着我们?
Is it possible that an extraterrestrial civilization is monitoring us much like Carl Gauss predicted?
高斯的部分假设现在看来似乎很有道理
One part of Gauss's hypothesis that now seems very plausible is the idea that
那就是外星人可能拥有从很远的地方观察地球表面细节的技术
extraterrestrials may have the technology to view details on the Earth's surface from great distances.
难道是他们在等待我们人类展示同样能力的那一天吗?
Could it be they are waiting for the day when we humans demonstrate the ability to do the same?
那一天可能比我们想象的更近
That day may be closer than we think,
科学家们正在学习如何通过引力透镜来观察遥远行星的表面
as scientists are learning how to view the surfaces of faraway planets through a process called gravitational lensing.
一个常规的透镜的发生 是因为折射率的改变 它会改变光速
A regular lens happens 'cause you have a change in index of refraction, which changes the speed of light.
引力透镜实际上是弯曲了空间
A gravitational lens literally is curving space itself,
光沿着弯曲的路径传播
and light now travels that curved path.
它能让我们在探索太空的过程中观察到那些我们看不到的东西
What it allows us to do in exploring space is it will allow us to observe or look at things we wouldn't otherwise be able to see.
在2019年
In 2019,
哈勃太空望远镜利用自然产生的引力透镜
the Hubble Space Telescope used a naturally occurring gravitational lens,
一种时空弯曲
a bend in space-time,
捕捉到了狮子座的大星系团的光线
in order to capture the light of a large galaxy cluster
这个星系团之前离我们太远 光线太暗 我们无法看到
in the Leo constellation that was previously too far away and dim to see.
当哈勃利用太空中已经存在的引力透镜时
While Hubble utilized a gravitational lens that already existed in space,
可能有一天我们能够创造我们自己的引力透镜
it is possible that one day we may be able to create our own.
如果外星文明拥有这样的技术 虽然离我们很远 但能制♥造♥出一个可以放大的引力透镜
If there was an extraterrestrial civilization that had that technology and was far enough along to make a gravitational lens that magnified,
这可能会让他们看到想看的东西 例如
that might allow them to view things, for instance,
看到地球 你不可能用一个标准镜头就能观测到地球
on Earth, that you couldn't with just a standard lens.
是否可能外星人在地球上创造了标记 以便他们能够从遥远的太空看到吗?
Is it possible that extraterrestrials created markers on Earth that they were capable of seeing from the far reaches of space?
那么 我们的祖先是否也建造了他们自己的地理符号♥ 希望外星访客会回来呢?
And did our ancestors then construct their own geoglyphs in the hopes that the alien visitors would return?
也许 通过研究奇怪的类人生物的地理符号♥ 可以揭示这个谜的一部分
Perhaps a piece of the puzzle can be revealed by examining geoglyphs of strange humanoid-type beings.
在纳斯卡 我们看到了一个穿着宇航服的人形物体
At Nazca, we see what appears to be a humanoid figure wearing a space suit.
在布莱斯凹雕 我们看到一个非常奇怪的 高大的
At the Blythe Intaglio, we see a very strange, tall,
细长的人
spindly human being.
然后是阿塔卡马巨人 他的头顶上有这些线条
Then you have the Atacama Giant who has these lines coming out on the top of his head.
荒原守护者是我们在世界各地发现的所有地理符号♥中独一无二的
The Badlands Guardian is unique among all the geoglyphs we've found around the world.
它是唯一有脸的
It's the only one that has a face.
大多数人形地理符号♥都是一个直视天空的完整形象
Most of the humanoid geoglyphs are of a full figure who is looking directly at the sky.
但荒原守护者不同
But the Badlands Guardian is different.
他只有半面 只有他的头
He's in profile; it's just his head.
这是一张印第安人的脸 印第安人就住在那个区域
It's a Native American face and Native Americans lived in that area.
美国原住民的历史充满了天空人从天而降的故事
And Native American history is filled with stories of sky people descending from above.
这可能是一个信♥号♥♥ “嘿”
It's maybe a signal, "Hey,
“我们降落在这里 和你们打个招呼 ”
this is us down here. Come and say hello."
有没有可能人形的地理符号♥
Is it possible that the geoglyphs of humanoid figures,
还有荒原守护者
and also the Badlands Guardian,
表明有真正的外星访客?
illustrate actual extraterrestrial visitors?
也许通过考察附近一个号♥称北美大平原上 最集中岩石艺术的地方
Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a nearby site that boasts the greatest concentration of rock art
可以找到进一步的线索
on the North American Great Plains,
这至少可以追溯到9000年前
dating back at least 9,000 years.
省立石刻公园 加拿大
Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, Canada.
在这里 离荒原守护者不到一百英里的地方
Here, less than a hundred miles away from the Badlands Guardian,
有一个令人难以置信的关于当地印第安人传统的记录
is an incredible record of local Native American traditions.
成千上万的古代岩画
Thousands of ancient petroglyphs,
雕刻在石头上
images carved into stone,
描绘了几个世纪前生活在这里的人们的各个方面
depict every aspect of life for the people who lived here centuries ago.
有古代日历
There are ancient calendars,
有对动物、人类的描绘
depictions of animals, humans,
有黑脚人信奉的诸神 正在战斗的场景
entire battle scenes, and the Blackfoot gods,
他们也称他们为“天空生物”
who they also refer to as "sky beings."
在各种印第安传统中
In various Native American traditions,
我们有不同的灵魂 存在于这些不同的层面上
we have different spiritual beings located on these sort of different planes of existence.
在很多很多的美国土著群体中都流传着很多精彩的故事
