他们是一种长着蜥蜴头的人形
They are humans and human figures with lizard heads.
有好几百个雕像
There are hundreds of them.
考古学家确定了雕像的年代
NARRATOR: Archaeologists date the statues,
它们被称为诺莫利
known as the Nomoli,
在大约500年前
to around 500 years old,
当欧洲人第一次与塞拉利昂人♥民♥接触时发现了它们
when Europeans first came into contact with the people of Sierra Leone.
但研究人员指出 这些雕像被发现埋在150英尺深的地方
But researchers point out that the statues were found buried as much as 150 feet deep,
这表明它们非常古老
which would suggest they are extremely ancient.
通常 你挖得越深
Normally, the deeper you go,
就存在更古老的东西
the more ancient things are.
那表明年代久远
That indicates great antiquity.
本•冯德海德:我们知道安吉洛•皮托尼能够确定地层的年代是17000年
BEN VONDERHEIDE: We know that Angelo Pitoni was able to date the strata to 17,000 years old.
我们问酋长 他们会告诉我们它们可能更老
We ask the chiefs and they’ll tell us they could be even older.
一万七千年的历史?
NARRATOR: 17,000 years old?
如果这是真的 它将使诺莫里雕像成为迄今为止发现的最古老的人工制品之一
If true, it would make the Nomoli statues among the oldest man-made artifacts ever found
并将它们的年代定在地球上最早的文明出现之前的12000年
and date them to 12,000 years before the first known civilizations on Earth.
但是对于古代宇航员理论家来说
But for ancient astronaut theorists,
更有趣的是 诺莫利的故事与多贡部落的诺莫神故事有着奇怪的相似之处
even more interesting is a strange similarity between tales of the Nomoli and the stories of the Dogon tribe and their Nommo gods,
就在1200英里外的马里
1,200 miles away in Mali,
有一种可能揭示人类外星祖先身份的相似物体
a similarity that could reveal the identity of mankind’s extraterrestrial ancestors.
20世纪90年代初 神秘的小雕像在非洲塞拉利昂出土
NARRATOR In the early 1990s, mysterious figurines were unearthed in Sierra Leone, Africa,
它们被埋在很深的地层中
that were buried in a strata of the earth so deep,
这表明它们可能有1.7万年的历史
it suggests they could be as much as 17,000 years old.
他们被认为代表了被称为诺莫利的神 几个世纪以来一直受到当地人的尊敬
They are believed to represent gods called the Nomoli that have been revered by the native people for centuries.
它们也与马里多贡部落的故事相似 尽管多贡部落位于1200英里之外
They are also similar to the stories of the Dogon tribe of Mali who, although located some 1,200 miles away,
他们崇拜被称为诺莫的神
worship gods called the Nommo,
他乘旋风降落在地球上
who descended to the Earth in a whirlwind.
冯德海德:他们被迫来到这里 生活在地球上
VONDERHEIDE: They were forced to come down here and live on Earth.
他们的眼睛是如此明亮 你无法看清他们 因为他们像太阳一样闪耀
Their eyes were so bright that you could not look into them because they shone like the Sun.
他们的声音是如此强大 当他们在一个村庄讲话时 你可以在另一个村庄听到他们的声音
And their voices were so powerful that when they spoke in one village, you could hear them in the next village.
玛特尔:他们实际上是作为帮助人类的向导来到地球上的
MARTELL: They’re actually here on Earth as guides helping humanity.
所以这是一个非常有趣的故事 我们在不同的文化中都能看到 他们实际上与人类有一些互动
So this is a very interesting tale that we see across cultures where they actually have some interaction with beings
从天而降 将知识教导给他们
that come down from the sky and teach them knowledge.
和诺莫一样 诺莫利的神也被描绘成具有两栖特征
NARRATOR Like the Nommo, the Nomoli gods are depicted as having amphibious traits,
它们的形象经常和鳄鱼缠绕在一起
and are often shown entwined with crocodiles.
伯恩斯:数十万年前来到地球的诺莫和诺莫利的生物 有可能是水生生物吗?
BIRNES: The Nommo and the Nomoli, could it be that the creatures that came to Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago were somehow aquatic creatures?
诺瑞:可以想象 很多很多年前来到这里的外星人看起来就像一条直立的短吻鳄
NOORY: It’s very conceivable that ET races that came here many, many, many years ago looked like maybe an alligator standing upright.
谁知道呢?
Who knows?
很可能他们看到的就是那样的
It’s very conceivable that’s what they saw.
诺莫利和诺莫能代表相同的外星访客吗?
NARRATOR: Could the Nomoli and the Nommo represent the same extraterrestrial visitors?
那些访客可能来自天狼星B吗?
And could those visitors have come from Sirius B?
亨利:语言被认为是思想的化石
HENRY: Words are thought of as thought fossils.
他们是自我记录
They are a record into themselves,
当我们开始比较单词时
and when we begin to compare words,
我们发现了一些非常有趣的事情
we find some very interesting things.
在塞拉利昂 我们知道一种叫做诺莫利的雕像
In Sierra Leone, we learn of statues called Nomoli.
然后我们转到多贡
Then we flip over to the Dogon,
我们发现他们崇拜一个叫诺莫的神
and we find that they worshipped a god called Nommo.
这两种本应完全分离的文化之间有什么联♥系♥吗?
Is there a linkage between these two cultures that are supposed to be entirely separate?
语言学家认为有联♥系♥
Linguists would argue that there is.
也许关于诺莫利最吸引人的真正起源的线索 是在20世纪90年代初被发现的
NARRATOR: Perhaps the most enticing clue as to the Nomoli’s true origins was discovered in the early 1990s,
一个神秘的诺莫利雕像被发现含有铬球
when one of the mysterious Nomoli figurines was found to contain a chromium sphere.
他们在里面发现了一个铬制的球体
TSOUKALOS: Inside of it they found a sphere made of chromium.
有趣的是 铬直到1797年才被我们分离出来
The fascinating thing about this is that chromium was not isolated by us until 1797.
但是这个球体怎么可能被放置在一个
比科学家分离铬还要早17000年的雕像里呢?
NARRATOR: But how is it possible that this sphere was placed inside a statue made 17,000 years before scientists isolated chromium?
冯德海德:有两种思路
VONDERHEIDE: There are two schools of thought.
一种可能是在那个地区有非常先进的古代文明
One would be that there were ancient civilizations which were far advanced in that area,
然后它们被吸收回了丛林
which have been absorbed back into the jungle.
第二种可能是来自天空的外星生物的影响
And the second one is that there was an influence from some extraterrestrial beings that came from the sky.
勃兰登堡:这在今天的古生物学中是绝对无法解释的
BRANDENBURG: This is absolutely inexplicable in present paleontology.
你必须假设他们接触到了先进的技术
You have to assume that there was a contact with an advanced technology.
但是如果这个铬球是来到地球的外星访客制♥造♥的
NARRATOR: But if this chromium sphere was produced by extraterrestrial visitors to Earth,
把它放在诺莫利雕像里面的目的是什么?
what was the purpose of placing it inside a Nomoli statue?
有些人认为答案可能在于对天狼星B的进一步研究中
Some believe the answer may lie in a further examination of Sirius B.
玛特尔:我们不得不怀疑这是不是天狼星B的某种表现形式
MARTELL: We have to wonder if this isn’t some type of representation of Sirius B.
天狼星系统一直被认为是我们能找到智慧生命的最好的地方之一
The Sirius system is always thought of as one of the best possible places for where we would find intelligent life.
天狼星B可能是带来古代知识的众神的家园之一的那个恒星系统吗?
Could Sirius B be one of the home places of gods that came from that star system and brought ancient knowledge?
也许通过研究一个将多贡人与几千英里外的文明联♥系♥在一起的神圣音节 可以找到更多的线索
NARRATOR: Perhaps further clues can be found by examining a sacred syllable that ties the Dogon to a civilization thousands of miles away.
巴黎 法国
Paris, France.
古代的宇航员理论家们认为 卢浮宫的房♥间里有某种可能是解开马里多贡部落之谜的线索
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that housed in the Louvre is an unlikely clue to the mystery of the Dogon tribe of Mali.
这是一块由玄武岩雕刻而成的石头 描绘了巴比伦国王汉谟拉比与神交谈的情景
It’s a carved stone made of basalt with a depiction of the Babylonian King Hammurabi speaking with a divine being.
下面刻着楔形文字
Below them, carved in cuneiform,
可能是古代最重要的法律文献
is perhaps the most significant legal text in the ancient world,
汉谟拉比法典
the Code of Hammurabi.
索卡罗斯:公元前18世纪 汉谟拉比国王统治着古巴比伦
TSOUKALOS: King Hammurabi ruled ancient Babylon in the 18th century BC,
他设计了世界上第一套已知的法律
and he devised the world’s first known set of laws.
例如 这就是我们以牙还牙的概念
For example, this is where we get the idea of an eye for an eye.
但最吸引我的是 根据汉谟拉比国王自己的说法
But what’s fascinating to me is that, according to King Hammurabi himself,
这是一个来自天空的人对他的口述
this was dictated to him by a being that came from the sky.
在我的脑海里 汉谟拉比国王在记录正在发生的事情:
In my mind, King Hammurabi was documenting exactly what happened:
一个外星人给了他建议
he was advised by an extraterrestrial.
古代宇航员理论家认为 巴比伦的神不仅仅是外星人
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that not only were the Babylonian gods extraterrestrials
它还指示了汉谟拉比国王 而且其中之一还提供了与非洲多贡人有趣的联♥系♥
who instructed King Hammurabi, but that one of them provides an intriguing connection to the Dogon of Africa
来自天狼星B的两栖访客
and their amphibious visitors from Sirius B.
这个神——巴比伦人的主要神——叫做大衮
That god-- the chief god of the Babylonians-- was called Dagon.
奇尔德里斯:他们有一个叫大衮的神
CHILDRESS: They have a god named Dagon.
它也是两栖的人类之神
And, it, too, is an amphibious human god.
巴比伦的神大衮听起来与多贡部落的神非常相似
NARRATOR: The Babylonian god Dagon sounds eerily similar to the Dogon tribe,
他们声称他们被来自天狼星B的生物拜访过
who claim they were visited by beings from Sirius B.
是不是因为多贡人用同一个名字来给神命名?
Is that because the Dogon named themselves after the same god?
古巴比伦人有一个半人半鱼的神 名叫大衮
The ancient Babylonians had a god-- half-human, half-fish-- called Dagon.
多贡和大衮之间有什么关系吗?
Is there a relationship between the Dogon and the Dagon,
巴比伦人的神把文明带到地球上?
and the deity of the Babylonians that brought civilization to Earth?
绝对有关系
Absolutely there could be a relationship.
巴比伦人在一个叫做E-Mul的庙宇里崇拜大衮 或者说是“星宿”
NARRATOR: The Babylonians worshipped Dagon in a temple called E-Mul, or the "House of the Star."
这是天狼星B吗?
Could this be Sirius B?
居住在这颗遥远星球上的居民 是否拜访过非洲的多贡人和中东的巴比伦人
Did inhabitants of this distant star visit both the Dogon in Africa and the Babylonians in the Middle East
并且把他们的名字——也许是Dag或Dog——留在这两个地方?
and leave their name-- perhaps Dag or Dog-- embedded in both places?
索卡罗斯:如果外星人来访
TSOUKALOS: What if, when the extraterrestrials visited,
我们的祖先听到他们的语言 -- dag dog 这是他们听到过的最多的词?
our ancestors listened to their language-- words with dag, dog, something that was the most prevalent term that they just heard?
所以我们有这些文化 其中的根词是相同的想法 对我来说 所有这些古老的文化都是由相同的人访问过
So the idea that we have these cultures where the root word is the same indicates to me all these ancient cultures were visited by the same people.
根据古代宇航员理论家的说法
NARRATOR: According to ancient astronaut theorists,
外星人在他们遇到的文化传统中植入了他们来访的证据
the extraterrestrials implanted evidence of their visitation within the traditions of the cultures they encountered.
进一步的证据可以通过研究地球另一端的另一种早期文明来找到
And further proof of this can be found by examining another early civilization on the opposite side of the planet.
皇宫
NARRATOR: The Imperial Palace.

以年龄和健康问题为例
Citing age and ill health,
明仁天♥皇♥在九万多名祝福者和家人面前退位
Emperor Akihito abdicates before a crowd of more than 90,000 well-wishers and family members,
包括他的长子皇太子德仁
including his eldest son Crown Prince Naruhito.
四个月后 德仁继承了父亲的王位 登上了菊花宝座
Four months later, Naruhito succeeds his father and ascends to the Chrysanthemum Throne,
继承了地球上最古老王室的传统
carrying on a tradition of the oldest royal family on Earth,
这可以追溯到2500多年前的公元前660年
stretching back over 2,500 years to 660 BC.
根据传说 日本皇室是神圣的两栖生物的后裔
According to legend, the Japanese Imperial family is descended from divine amphibious beings,
像巴比伦的大衮神和马里的多贡神一样
who, like the Babylonian god Dagon and the Dogon gods of Mali,
从天上来 住在海里
came from the sky and lived in the sea.
这些生物的日本名字是多拉贡
The Japanese name for these beings is Doragun.
在英语中我们叫它们龙
In English we call them dragons.
日本皇族的缔造者神武天♥皇♥
Emperor Jimmu, who is the founder of the Japanese imperial line,
据说是龙王的后裔
was supposedly a descendant of the Dragon King.
龙王住在一个巨大的水下宫殿里 非常繁荣
And the Dragon King lived in a underwater palace that was massive and-and very prosperous.
通过连续不断的婚姻
And through successive marriages,
最终他的后代成为了日本的统治者
eventually his descendants became rulers of Japan.
奇尔德里斯:早期的神话表明 龙也是一种两栖的水栖动物
CHILDRESS: Early myths indicated that the dragon was also an amphibious water-type animal.
还有 在某些方面还存在半人半两栖的类型
Also, in some ways, a half-man, half-amphibious type.
我们知道 他后来变成了一条会飞的蛇
He later morphed into a flying serpent, as we know.
日语是日本独有的
NARRATOR: The Japanese language is unique to Japan,
也与其他语言无关联
and also isn’t connected to any other language,
甚至与其他亚洲语言 如韩语和汉语无关联
not even other Asian languages such as Korean and Chinese.
然而 这种生物的日语词汇与世界各地语言中的词汇惊人地相似
