that's very deep-seated and very universal.
纹身或身体修饰是纪念祖先的一种方式
Tattooing or body modification can be a way of remembering one's ancestors,
记住自己与宇宙的联♥系♥
remembering one's connection with the cosmos.
渴望与宇宙的联♥系♥ 也许和文明一样古老
A yearning to connect with the cosmos is perhaps as old as civilization itself.
古代宇航员理论家认为
And ancient astronaut theorists suggest
纹身不仅仅代表了这一点
that tattoos represent far more than merely a symbolic representation of this.
他们相信通过纹身和其他方式来修饰肉体的想法
They believe that the desire to alter the flesh through tattooing and other means
可能深植在潜意识里
may be embedded deep in the subconscious mind
也许这种人类需求的起源编码可以在保存完好的埃及木乃伊皮肤中找到
and that perhaps the origin of this human need can be found encoded in the well-preserved skin of Egypt's mummies.
埃及德尔麦迪那
Deir el-Medina, Egypt.
2014年
2014.
使用现代成像设备的帮助
Using modern imaging equipment,
安妮•奥斯汀博士扫描了一具可以追溯到公元前1300年的女性木乃伊
Dr. Anne Austin scans the body of a female mummy dating back as far as 1300 BC.
她的发现出乎意料与长♥期♥以来关于古埃及社会中女性角色的观念相矛盾
What she finds is unexpected and contradicts long-held beliefs regarding female roles in ancient Egyptian society.
其中一个特别的躯干是一位人类女性她将哈索尔的形象纹在身上
One particular torso was a human female who had the image of Hathor tattooed onto her body.
在古埃及
In ancient Egypt,
如果你的身体上有哈索尔的纹身这将清楚地表明你的地位是哈索尔女祭司
having the tattoo of Hathor on your body would clearly be an indication of your status as a priestess of Hathor
这表明她不仅仅代表了哈索尔
and as a person who's not just a representative of Hathor
而且表明她可以与女神直接接触
but maybe in direct contact with the goddess, as well.
在发现这些木乃伊之前
Prior to finding these mummies,
人们认为只有埃及的卖♥♥淫♥女♥或舞♥女♥才会有纹身
it was believed that women in Egypt were only tattooed if they were prostitutes or dancers.
其实不是
We see that, no,
这些人很可能是女祭司
these were most likely, you know, priestesses.
这些纹身与神有关
The tattoos relate to a deity,
天空之神哈索尔
to a sky god, Hathor.
象征哈索尔的形象有时是一个带角的牛头中间有圆盘
The symbol for Hathor would sometimes be the head of a cow, horns, a disc in the center.
埃及人的纹身是他们与宇宙紧密联♥系♥的象征
The Egyptian tattoos are very symbolic of their close association with the cosmos.
他们与自己的神非常和谐
They were very in tune with their gods.
通过这些符号♥ 他们感到
They felt, through these symbols,
能与神沟通
they were communicating with the gods.
埃及女神哈索尔是伊西斯的早期化身
The Egyptian goddess Hathor is an earlier incarnation of Isis,
被认为是所有起源的原始女神
considered the primeval goddess from whom all others were derived.
在丹德拉的哈索尔神庙
In the Temple of Hathor in Dendera,
描述她是乘着一艘永恒之船沿着夜晚的水域航行的女神
the goddess is depicted sailing in a ship of eternity along the night waters...
这条河不是尼罗河而是银河
not of the Nile but of the Milky Way.
丹德拉是古埃及最重要的遗址之一
Dendera is one of the most important ancient Egyptian sites.
它清楚地描绘了与所谓的太阳驳船一起穿越天空的旅行
It clearly depicts travel through the sky with the so-called sun barges.
我们的祖先知道船不会飞过天空或太阳
And our ancestors knew that ships do not fly across the sky or across the Sun.
那么他们为什么要描述从天而降的驳船呢?
So why would they describe barges that came down from the sky?
丹德拉所描绘的是外星人在天空中旅行
What is depicted in Dendera are the extraterrestrials as they're traveling across the sky.
有没有可能在德尔麦迪那发现的纹有纹身的木乃伊代表了外星来客?
Is it possible that the mummy found at Deir el-Medina was tattooed with symbols representing extraterrestrial visitors to Earth?
我认为古埃及人崇拜这些符号♥
My idea is that the ancient Egyptians worshipped those symbols
因为他们不仅要证明自己属于统治阶级
because not only did they have to illustrate that they were of the ruling class
而且要证明他们与哈索尔之间也存在着直接的联♥系♥
but also that they had a direct connection,
至少他们是这么想的
or so they thought, to Hathor.
他们纹身的原因是为了获得被模仿神的力量
The reason why they put that on their bodies is in order to gain the strength of the gods that they tried to imitate.
这些神是有血有肉的外星人
And these gods were flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials.
在德尔麦迪那发现的木乃伊身上的纹身是否表明他们试图与上帝或外星生命取得联♥系♥?
Do the tattoos found on the mummies at Deir el-Medina reveal attempts to connect with the power of a god or an extraterrestrial being?
古埃及人在他们的肉体上留下永久的印记
And did the ancient Egyptians permanently mark their flesh
是为了纪念神灵还是为了怀念外星游客而留下一个永久的纪念?
in order to honor divine beings or leave a lasting commemoration of contact with otherworldly visitors?
人类一直使用符号♥、印记和密♥码♥来传达信息
Humanity has always used symbols and sigils and cryptography to convey messages.
埃及人意识到符号♥中蕴含着巨大的力量
The Egyptians realized there was a lot of power in symbols,
他们知道如何在纹身时使用这些符号♥
and they knew how to use these symbols when they would tattoo.
我们不禁要问它是通过纹身与神交流的吗?
We have to wonder, was it to communicate with the gods through their tattoos?
为了模仿神?
To emulate the gods?
为了象征神?
To embody the gods?
在德尔麦迪那代表哈索尔的牛和圆盘并不是唯一在木乃伊身上发现的纹身
The cow and disc representing Hathor was not the only tattoo discovered on the mummies at Deir el-Medina.
其中一具尸体还带有另一个强有力的符号♥
One of the bodies also bore another powerful symbol.
她纹有荷鲁斯的眼睛
She had the Eye of Horus.
据说荷鲁斯之眼由六部分组成这六部分与我们的六种感官有关
And they say the Eye of Horus is composed of six parts which relate to our six senses.
不是我们认为的五个感官我们有六个感官
Not the five we think we have. We have six.
视觉、听觉、嗅觉、
Sight, hearing, smell,
味觉、触觉和思维
taste, touch and thought.
但是思维是什么呢? 是超感思维吗?
But what is thought? Is that extrasensory thought?
这就是我们非语言交流的方式吗?
Is that the way we communicate nonverbally?
所以荷鲁斯之眼也有一种非常神奇的元素
So, the Eye of Horus also has a very magical type of element to it.
如古埃及所描绘的那样通灵之眼或荷鲁斯之眼是最神圣的象征之一
The all-seeing eye or the Eye of Horus as it was depicted in ancient Egypt was one of the holiest of symbols.
它提醒个人如果没有某种更高的视野
It served to remind the individual that human life is incomplete without some sort of higher vision
或者没有对更高世界的意识人类的生活是不完整的
or without the awareness of providence of a higher world.
这是一个中心思想对古埃及人来说
That was a central idea, uh, to the ancient Egyptians.
荷鲁斯之眼是上帝之眼能看见一切
The Eye of Horus is the eye of God that sees everything.
我们说的是一个可能是外星人的埃及神
We're talking about an Egyptian god who's quite possibly an extraterrestrial.
在古代木乃伊身上发现的许多符号♥ 比如荷鲁斯之眼
Many of the symbols found on ancient mummies, like the Eye of Horus,
作为纹身图案已经有几个世纪的历史今天仍然受到纹身爱好者的欢迎
have been used as tattoo designs for centuries and are still popular with tattoo enthusiasts today.
但它们为什么能持久呢?
But why do they endure?
3000多年前设计出来的简单而又标志性的眼睛形象今天还能对人类产生影响吗
Is it possible that a simple but iconic image of an eye devised more than 3,000 years ago still speaks to humans today
因为我们能直观地理解它背后的力量?
because we intuitively understand the power behind it?
人们用身体艺术、纹身或身体修饰来装饰自己却不知道为什么五角星
People adorn themselves with bodily art, tattoos or body modification without knowing why that pentagram
为什么方尖塔为什么金字塔对他们来说那么重要
or why that obelisk or why that pyramid speaks so deeply to them.
如果你问他们
If you ask them,
他们可能无法给你一个非常明确的答案
they might not be able to give you a very clear answer,
但他们对这个符号♥的体验足以回答这个问题
but their experience of that symbol is answer enough.
它激发敬畏
It inspires awe.
它告诉我们我们来自更大层次的东西
It tells us that we come from something larger.
我们祖先的纹身是否包含了人类过去的记录和我们今天需要解码的信息?
Could the tattoos of our ancestors contain a record of humanity's past and messages meant for us to decode today?
也许答案不仅仅可以通过检查纹身而是更极端的身体修饰来找到
Perhaps the answer can be found by examining not just tattoos but far more extreme body modifications.
坦拿岛
Tanna Island.
每年的2月15日
Every year on February 15,
太平洋岛国瓦努阿图的居民会聚集在这里参加绘有“美国”字样的军事游♥行♥
residents of the Pacific island chain of Vanuatu gather together here for a military-style parade with "U.S.A." painted
有时甚至把图案纹在他们的胸前
and sometimes even tattooed on their chests.
这一传统始于60多年前灵感来自二战期间发生的事件
It is a tradition that began more than 60 years ago and is inspired by events that took place during World War II,
当时美国♥军♥队带着现代化的机器和物资出现在这个遥远的岛链上
when American forces descended upon the remote island chain with modern machinery and supplies.
在第二次世界大战期间
During the Second World War,
当美国人到达太平洋时
when the Americans reached the Pacific,
占领了很多岛屿
um, and took over many of the islands,
补给品将从飞机上空投或通过飞机着陆运送
supplies would be dropped from aircraft or brought in on landing strips.
这给当地居民带来了很多新事物
And this brought many new things to these local populations,
从罐装食品到人造服装再到他们从未见过的其他物品
everything from canned foods to manufactured clothing to other items they'd never seen before.
当地人从来没有遇到过这种现代文明
The native people, who had never encountered this type of modern civilization,
被这些来自天空的游客所震撼
were awed by these visitors from the sky,
他们带来了食物和礼物
who brang with them food and gifts.
所有的土著人都被迷住了
All the aboriginals were fascinated.
他们会点燃一支香烟
They'd light up a cigarette.
拿出录音机录下他们的声音
Hold out a voice recorder, record their voice.
土著居民认为这一切都是魔法
The aboriginals thought this was all magic.
他们从来没有见过大船、货物、武器
They had never seen great ships and the goods, the-the weapons.
亚瑟•C•克拉克的第三定律是:
Arthur C. Clarke's third law is:
“任何足够先进的技术都与魔法无异 ”
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
太平洋战争结束后
After the war in the Pacific concluded,
美国士兵离开了这些岛屿一夜之间
the U.S. soldiers left the islands, and overnight,
丰富的科技和现代奢侈品消失了
the bounty of technology and modern luxuries was gone.
为了纪念美国士兵并希望他们的回归
In memory of the American soldiers and in the hope that it would bring about their return,
当地人对那些从天上来拜访他们的人形成了一种崇拜
the natives formed a cult devoted to the people who had visited them from the sky.
人们会尝试着重新创造将这些货物带到他们身边的环境
The people would try and recreate the circumstances that brought this cargo to them.
他们开始制♥造♥与美国及其相关的复♥制♥品
They started to create replica items associated with the Americans and their presence,
甚至步♥枪♥
even rifles.
他们会刮掉跑道用稻草做成飞机降落的模型
They would scrape away runways and make straw models of the planes that landed
试图引诱士兵再次降落并带来他们所有惊人的技术
to try and lure the soldiers to once again land and bring all their amazing technology.
每一次宗教体验都始于奇迹
Every religious experience begins with the miraculous.
一些个人或团体会有
Some individual or group will have an experience where they feel
目睹了或经历了一些不寻常的事情的感觉
they have witnessed something or undergone something that is outside of the ordinary.
他们将为这段经历建立纪念碑
And they will create monuments to that experience,
无论建立的是神的雕像
whether it is the statue of a deity,
还是金字塔还是大教堂
whether it is a pyramid, whether it is a cathedral.
直到今天我们在历史和世界各地都看到了这一点
We see this across history and all over the world to this very day.
有没有可能
Is it possible that,
就像南太平洋所谓的货物崇拜一样
much like the so-called cargo cults in the South Pacific,
古代人们建造纪念碑甚至整个宗教都是基于与来自天空游客的互动?
ancient people also constructed monuments and even entire religions based on interactions with visitors from the sky?
“货物崇拜”这个词在古代宇航员理论中很有趣
The term "cargo cult" is very interesting when applied to the ancient astronaut theory,
因为我们可以看到即使在现代土著会与来自天空的美军互动的
because we can see that even in modern times how man has interacted with things coming from the sky
或者与其他无法理解的技术互动
