but one of extraterrestrials using their advanced technology in order to prevent a group of migrating humans from starving.
我们假设在过去看到的是神
We assumed that we were looking at gods in the past.
我们不知道我们看到的可能是外星人
We didn't know we might be looking at aliens.

1978年 语言学家乔治•沙逊和电气工程师罗德尼•戴尔 出版了他们的书《玛纳机器》
NARRATOR: In 1978, linguist George Sassoon and electrical engineer Rodney Dale released their book, The Manna Machine.
在这篇文章中 他们提出《佐哈尔》的希伯来补充文献提供了令人惊讶的详细描述
In it, they propose that the supplementary Hebrew texts of the Zohar provide surprisingly detailed descriptions
指出玛纳是由一个机械装置提供的
that point to manna being supplied by a mechanical device.
索卡罗斯:我们在古代犹太文献《佐哈尔》中有对它的简明描述
TSOUKALOS: We have a concise description of it in the ancient Jewish texts of the Zohar,
文献中描述了一种可运输的箱子
where they describe the transportable one with the tanks.
戴尔和沙逊看着这些故事
Dale and Sassoon looked at these stories,
他们认为这根本不是对上帝的描述;
and they came out with the idea that this is not a description of God at all;
这是对机器的描述
it's a description of a machine.
玛纳机器是一个塔状结构
The manna machine was this tower‐like structure,
它有两个巨大的容器和一个分配器
and it had these two giant tanks and a dispenser.
玛纳是机器的产物
Manna is the product of that machine,
它是基于培养藻类而生产的
and it is based on algae cultures.
这台玛纳机器每星期六都得拆开
This manna machine had to be taken apart every Saturday.
这一天 他们没有任何食物
And this was the one day that the tribe did not have any food.
戴尔和沙逊的基本观点是 这台机器是外星人送给以色列人的
The basic proposition by Dale and Sassoon is that this machine was given to the Israelites by extraterrestrials.
是否可能是外星人为以色列人提供了技术支持
NARRATOR: Could it be that extraterrestrials provided technology to the Israelites
让他们在穿越沙漠的漫长旅途中得以生存吗?
to sustain them during their long journey through the desert?
对于这个问题的答案
For the answer,
古代宇航员理论家指出了其中一个段落 描述了白天有一根云柱
ancient astronaut theorists point to passages describing a pillar of cloud during the day
夜间有火柱引导他们
and a pillar of fire guiding them at night.
他们在西奈和沙特阿♥拉♥伯北部的沙漠中游荡了40年
CHILDRESS: They're following a light that's guiding them as they wander for 40 years through these deserts of the Sinai and Northern Saudi Arabia.
所以你要问你自己 有没有可能这个火柱是一个不明飞行物
So you have to ask yourself, is it possible that this pillar of fire is a UFO
它和摩西一起把以色列人带到了应许之地?
that was working with Moses to bring the Israelites to the promised land?
如果外星人给以色列人提供了食物分发机
NARRATOR: If extraterrestrials provided the Israelites with a food‐dispensing machine,
有没有可能他们一直在用这个
is it possible that they had been using this,
或者类似的技术 来维持他们的生活?
or a similar technology, to sustain themselves?
也许 制♥造♥这种神秘的无盐威化薄饼的技术
Perhaps the same technology as the one that produced the mysterious salt‐free wafer
与乔•西蒙顿声称1961年外星人送给他的博饼技术是一样的
that Joe Simonton claimed was given to him by aliens in 1961.
就古代宇航员理论家而言
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
答案不在于对所谓的“玛纳机器”的进一步研究
the answer lies not in the further study of the so‐called manna machine,
而是通过研究其他可能的外星食物来源
but by looking into other possible extraterrestrial food sources.
我认为许多食品的准备工作与实际情况有一定的联♥系♥
I think there's a definite connection to be drawn between a lot of the food preparation practice
我们看到与各种主要宗教和现代不明飞行物现象有关
that we see associated with all sorts of major religions and the modern UFO phenomena.
如果我们回顾古代宗教
If we look back into ancient religions,
有一件事我们经常发现
one of the things that we find time and again,
不管它在世界的哪个地方
no matter which part of the world it is,
都有关于牺牲动物的问题
is the issue of sacrifice of animals.
现在 最大的问题是:为什么要这样做?
Now, the big question is: why was this being done?
我想我们可以设想一个有趣的场景
Well, I think we could make an interesting scenario if,
例如 外星人需要特定的食物和液体
for example, the aliens required specific food and liquid items.
侯赛因:各种宗教都有食物限制
HUSSAIN: There are all sorts of religions that have food restrictions.
在犹太传统中 我们有“洁食”这个词
In the Jewish tradition we have the word "kosher."
什么是可接受的食物?
What is acceptable food?
在伊♥斯♥兰♥传统中 清♥真♥ -- 是完全一样的东西
In the Islamic tradition, halal‐‐ exactly the same thing.
什么食物是允许的 什么食物是可以接受的?
What food is allowed, what food is acceptable?
举个例子 当你杀了一只动物
And so, for example, when you kill an animal,
你割开喉咙 把血排出去
you cut the throat, you drain the blood.
你希望流出的血越少越好
You want as little blood there as possible.
卡钦:在洁食和清♥真♥的实践中处理和管理血液是特别重要的
CUTCHIN: The handling and management of blood in kosher and halal practice is especially important
因为它通常被认为是为上帝保留的
because it is generally considered reserved for God.
斯特里伯:如果他们的食物中没有血液 我一点也不惊讶
STRIEBER: I wouldn't be surprised at all if blood did not play a big role in their food.
如果过去的人看到他们吸血
And if people in the past had seen them consuming blood,
它可能说明 高等生物有权利喝血液 人类不能
it might have become that higher beings had the right to consume the blood, not human beings.
马卢尔国家森林
NARRATOR: Malheur National Forest.
哈尼县 俄勒冈州
Harney County, Oregon.
2019年7月30日
July 30, 2019.
一个牧场主发现他的五头珍贵的公牛 只剩下残缺不全的尸体
A rancher discovers the mutilated carcasses of five of his prized bulls.
死亡原因无法解释 有关部门指出 这些动物的血液已全部被抽干
At a loss to explain the deaths, authorities note that the animals have been entirely drained of blood.
这与世界各地报道的许多类似残害事件相符
This is in keeping with many similar mutilations reported around the world.
豪:你能想到的任何一种动物
HOWE: Animals of every type you can think of,
大大小小的 都被残忍♥地肢解了
large and small, have been bloodlessly mutilated.
野生动物 鹿 麋鹿 土拨鼠 驯鹿
Wild animals, deer, elk, marmots, reindeer,
袋鼠 蛇 都被发现残缺不全
kangaroos, snakes, all found bloodlessly mutilated.
当牛被肢解时
BIRNES: When cows are mutilated,
我们注意到的一件事是 他们的血液被完全抽干了 失血了
one of the things we notice is that they're completely drained of blood, exsanguinated.
这可能意味着什么呢?
What could that possibly mean?
根据美国联邦调查局的统计
NARRATOR: According to FBI statistics,
在过去的半个世纪里 该机构已经记录了超过10,000份官方类似的动物残害报告
the agency has documented over 10,000 official reports of similar animal mutilations over the past half‐century.
调查性记者琳达•莫尔顿•豪 在上世纪70年代末就开始研究牛被肢解的问题
Investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe began researching cattle mutilations in the late 1970s.
当时我有了一个奇怪的收获
When I produced A Strange Harvest,
关于动物被残害
about the animal mutilations,
作为一名调查记者和电视制片人 这一切对我来说都是全新的景象
all of it was a brand‐new landscape for me as an investigative reporter and TV producer.
这让我想到了那些说犯罪者是来自外太空生物的人
And it led me to people who were saying the perpetrators are creatures from outer space.
整个问题是:他们是什么?
And the whole issue of: what are they?
他们吃什么?他们喝什么?
Do they eat? Do they drink?
他们和我们一样吗?为什么?
Are they like us? What?
在她调查期间
NARRATOR: During her investigation,
琳达会见了一名来自新墨西哥州拉斯克鲁塞斯的妇女
Linda met with a woman from the Las Cruces, New Mexico area
她声称自己在现场被绑♥架♥并被带上了一艘飞船
who claimed to have been abducted from the scene and taken aboard a craft.
一旦进入飞船
Once inside the craft,
这个女人遇到了外星人
the woman encountered extraterrestrial beings.
他们把她带到一个装有黑色液体的大缸里 身体部分浮在里面
They led her to a large vat containing dark liquid with body parts floating in it.
身体都漂浮在这个圆形容器里
They're all floating in this round container,
她的脑海里出现了某种东西
and something puts in her head, telepathically,
它与食物有关
that it has something to do with sustenance.
在动物和人类的血液中 是否有什么东西是外星人造访地球时维持生命所必需的?
NARRATOR: Is there something in both animal and human blood that is necessary in order to sustain the life of extraterrestrials visiting planet Earth?
如果是这样 是否能找到提供重要关键因素的答案
And if so, could finding the answer provide an important key,
不仅是在我们对外星生命的理解中 而且是我们寻找在其他世界生存的方式中?
not only in our understanding of alien life but in our search for a means of survival on other worlds?
就古代宇航员理论家而言
As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
通过研究人类血液之间的奇怪联♥系♥可能会找到答案 -- 永生
the answer might be found by examining the strange connection between human blood... and immortality.
希腊 奥林匹斯山
对于古希腊人来说
NARRATOR: For the ancient Greeks,
这里是众神之家
this was the home of the gods.
神与人类非常相似
Gods that were very much like humans,
除了他们可以永生
except that they could live forever,
他们饮用一种叫安布罗希亚仙果的神秘饮料
courtesy of a mysterious drink called ambrosia.
侯赛因:仙果是永生的食物
HUSSAIN: Ambrosia was literally the food of immortality.
在古代 神吃它们 神喝它们
In the ancient world, the gods ate, the gods drank.
这就是他们保持神圣的原因
And this is what kept them divine.
这就是让他们永远活着的原因
This is what kept them alive forever,
这是神与人之间最重要的区别之一
which is one of the crucial differences between the divine and the human.
当仙果被预留给众神时
NARRATOR: While ambrosia was reserved for the gods,
古希腊文献中也有这样的故事:
the ancient Greek texts also contain stories
这种神圣的食物可以与特定的人类共享 并无限延长他们的寿命
of this divine food being shared with select humans and extending their life spans indefinitely.
我们可以把它想象成一种液体 一种膏体 一种有特殊性质的软膏
We might imagine that it is some sort of a liquid or, or paste or ointment that has special properties.
通过喝这种液体 你可以延长你的生命
By drinking it, you are extending your life,
如果你喝了很多很多年的仙果
and if you drank this ambrosia over many, many years,
在某种程度上 你可以得到永生
you could have a certain sense of immortality, in a way.
像仙果这样的物质可以在许多古老的传统中找到
NARRATOR: Substances like ambrosia can be found in numerous ancient traditions.
在中国有仙桃的故事
In China there were stories of the Peaches of Immortality.
挪威人说他们有苹果
The Norse spoke of I unn's apples.
但就古代宇航员理论家而言
But as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned,
这样的故事的无所不在 也提供了进一步的证据 证明古代人曾接触过同样的超自然的存在
the ubiquity of this story also provides further evidence that ancient peoples came into contact with the same otherworldly beings.
亨利:古代宇航员理论家把神看作是外星生物或外星人
HENRY: Ancient astronaut theorists look at the gods as extraterrestrial beings, as aliens.
如果你说的是那些世代都在星际旅行的生物
If you're talking about beings that are traveling the stars for generations,
他们需要某种食物来支撑他们的航行
they're going to need some kind of sustenance that will sustain them during these voyages.
这就是仙果
And that appears to be what ambrosia was.
是不是关于仙果和类似的长生不老药的古老故事
NARRATOR: Could it be that the ancient stories about ambrosia and similar elixirs
实际上是对一种物质的描述 是外星人用来在太空中进行长途旅行中使用的?
were actually descriptions of a substance that extraterrestrials used to facilitate long voyages through space?
如果是这样 它是否被视为永生的源泉
And, if so, was it seen as a source of immortality,
不仅是因为它能延长生命 还因为它能在太空中维持人们数千年的外星旅行者?
not only because of its ability to prolong life but also because it sustained alien travelers during thousands of years in space?
也许通过研究许多关于古代人类寿命远远长于今天平均寿命的记载 可以找到更多的线索
Perhaps further clues to the answers can be found by examining the many accounts of ancient people living far longer than the average life expectancy today.
侯赛因:圣经中的生命跨度是超凡的
HUSSAIN: The biblical life spans are extraordinary.
圣经说亚当活了930年
So the Bible says that Adam lived for 930 years,
诺亚活了950年
that Noah lived for 950 years.
玛土撒拉活了九百六十九年
That Methuselah lived for 969 years.
这似乎是一个奇怪的概念 但你有很多记录
It seems like an odd concept, but you have many records of
