but from under the sea.
1849年 尼尼微
NARRATOR: Nineveh, 1849.
英国考古学家奥斯汀·亨利·莱亚德
British archaeologist Austen Henry Layard
他和他的团队发现了一批古代泥板
and his team uncover a cache of ancient clay tablets
至少可以追溯到公元前7世纪
dating back to at least the seventh century BC.
这些作品包含了一些人类最早的作品
The pieces contain some of the earliest writings of humankind,
包括《吉尔伽美什史诗》和《伊努玛·埃利斯》
including the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Enuma Elis,
苏美尔人的创世故事围绕着一条海龙展开
the Sumerian creation story centered around a sea dragon.
一般认为古苏美尔
Ancient Sumeria is generally considered
是地球上最早的文明
the earliest civilization on Earth,
他们早期的神话故事涉及到提阿玛特
and their early mythology involves the Tiamat.
提阿玛特来自海洋
Tiamat comes from the sea.
她是一条海蛇 她代表混乱
She's a sea serpent. She is chaos.
亨利:龙经常在天空中飞行
HENRY: Dragons are most often seen flying through the sky.
然而,也有龙生活在水里的例子
However, there are also examples of dragons that lived in the water.
例如,巴比伦的提阿玛特神话
For example, in the Babylonian myth of Tiamat
还有在希腊神话中,我们了解到九头蛇许德拉
and then in the Greek myth we learn of Hydra,
它被称为生活在海里的龙
which is referred to as a dragon that lives in the sea.
海中的蛇也可以在挪威神话中找到
NARRATOR: Serpents from the sea can also be found in Norse mythology,
还有在古老的迦南传统
in the ancient Canaanite tradition,
以及新西兰的毛利人故事找到
as well as the Maori tales of New Zealand.
但全球所有关于海龙的故事
But of all the stories of sea dragons from across the globe,
也许都没有比《希伯来圣经》中的利维坦更出名的了
perhaps there is none more well-known than the Leviathan of the Hebrew Bible.
利维坦通常被描述为巨大的海洋生物
Often described as a gigantic sea creature,
利维坦给世界带来混乱
the Leviathan wreaks chaos on the world.
利维坦在圣经中
Leviathan, in Biblical terms,
被认为是巨大的海怪 非常巨大
is considered this sea monster of behemoth proportions. Huge.
在约伯记中
Now, in the Book of Job,
突然间,人们看到了巨兽
the behemoth all of a sudden is seen and witnessed.
根据约伯的描述,它不是我们今天所熟悉的生物实体
And the way Job describes it, it's not a biological entity that we are familiar with today.
据说它的外壳是金属的,肋骨是由闪闪发光的青铜制成的
It is described that it has skin of metal and ribs made out of gleaming bronze,
它的四肢像铁条
its limbs like bars of iron.
它的背部是一排排的盾牌,紧密地封闭起来,就像海豹一样
Its back is made of shields in rows shut up closely as with a seal.
然后约伯甚至把它描述成某种动物
And then Job even describes that it is like some type of an animal,
但是什么动物会呼出烟和火,并且有发光的眼睛呢?
but what animal breathes smoke and fire and has glowing eyes?
在《约伯记》中发现的
NARRATOR: Might the eyewitness account of the Leviathan
关于利维坦的目击者描述
found in the Book of Job actually be a description
是否可能不是对水下生物的描述
not of an underwater creature
而是对被误解的技术的描述
but of misunderstood technology,
正如古代宇航员理论学家所认为的那样?
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
约伯记中有一行文字
In the Book of Job we have a text line
这说明这种生物的皮肤由两个外壳组成
that says that this creature's outer skin consists of two hulls.
所以,在古代圣经时代
So, this description in ancient biblical times
我们有一个双壳物体的描述,这很有趣
that we have a double-hull object is interesting
因为我们今天知道潜艇有两个壳体
because we know today that submarines have two hulls.
它们有两个壳体的原因是为了潜水和浮出水面
And the reason why they have two hulls is in order to dive and resurface.
潜水和浮水就需要填满和清空压载舱
And what happens is you fill and empty the ballast tanks.
现在,当你清空压载舱时会发生什么?
Now, what happens when you empty the ballast tanks?
潜艇喷射出一大堆空气
The submarine ejects a whole bunch of air
这使得整个周边地区看起来就像海水在沸腾
that makes the whole surrounding area look as if the ocean is boiling.
约伯记中也有这个参考点
And we have exactly this reference point in Job
突然间,利维坦觉醒了
that all of a sudden, the wake of the Leviathan,
看起来海水在沸腾
it looked as if the sea was boiling.
约伯描述说他也在陆地上见过这种东西
Job describes having seen this thing also on land.
这就引出了一个问题
It begs the question
我们这个案例中涉及到的是否是一个跨媒介的飞行器
if what we have here is an example of a trans-medium craft,
这个飞行器既能在陆地上工作又能在水中工作
a craft that operates both on land and in the water.
亨利:今天我们有一些来自海洋的UFO或UAP的视频
HENRY: Today we have videos of UFOs or UAPs that are coming and going from the ocean.
我们称之为跨媒介飞行器
We call them trans-medium craft.
这正是我们在这些关于龙的古代神话中看到的
Well, this is exactly what we see in these ancient myths about the dragons.
它们应该是龙或神话中的生物
These are supposed to be dragons or mythological creatures,
在空中飞翔的有翅膀的生物
winged creatures that fly in the air,
但它们也会潜入海洋
but then they also go into the ocean.
这让你想知道,这些在古代世界看到的UFO
And it makes you wonder, are these in fact UFOs that were seen in the ancient world
是否被误解为龙或神话化为龙?
that were interpreted or mythologized as dragons?
我在海军服役了九年
I was in the Navy for nine years,
我们经常谈论不明潜水物体
and we always talked with each other about unidentified submersible objects
就是不明飞行物呆在水里
that are UFOs that stay in the water
然后忽然冲出海面
and then bust out of the top of the ocean
然后飞走了 这很普遍
and off they go. It's very widespread.
事实上,有报道说
As a matter of fact,
有亮光在水下跟踪我们的海军舰艇,然后突然之间
there've been reports of lights down in the water following our Navy ships and then all of a sudden
它们穿过海水水面,然后起飞
they bust through the top of the ocean and they take off.
他们就在那里
They're out there.
这是完全有可能的
And it's entirely possible
很久以前目睹这些事情的人
that people who witnessed these things a long time ago
把飞船和生物或真龙搞混了
confused them with creatures or real dragons.
在世界各地的神话中
Could the accounts of dragons emerging from the sea
关于龙从海洋中出现的描述
found in mythologies around the world
是否在描述一种能够旅行的先进技术
be descriptions of an advanced technology capable of traveling
它不仅能在天上飞,也能在水里游?
not only through the sky but also through water?
如果是这样
And if so,
我们的祖先所目睹的被误解的飞行器
might the misinterpreted craft our ancestors witnessed
会不会就是今天所报道的不明飞行物?
be the same UFOs reportedly seen today?
古代宇航员理论认为
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
答案可以通过检查一个古代建筑
the answers may be found by examining the alignment
与星空中一条龙的排列来找到
of an ancient structure to a dragon... in the stars.
柬埔寨西北部
NARRATOR: Northwest Cambodia.
在吴哥窟的暹(Xiān)粒城外
Just outside the city of Siem Reap lies Angkor Wat,
坐落着世界上最大的宗教建筑
the world's largest religious structure,
这个建筑每边都有将近一英里长
with each side measuring nearly a mile long.
主流考古学家认为
Mainstream archaeologists believe
寺庙建筑群很可能建于公元12世纪左右
the temple complex was likely constructed around the 12th century AD,
但根据柬埔寨的传说
but according to Cambodian legend,
它可能要古老得多
it is far older--
寺庙建于公元前600年,由一个半人半神的建筑师建造
Built in 600 BC by a half-human half-divine architect
这个建筑师穿梭于地球与众神的国度之间
who traveled between Earth and the realm of the gods.
索卡洛斯:吴哥窟是由帕拉·皮斯♥诺♥卡尔建造的
TSOUKALOS: Angkor Wat was built by none other than Preah Pisnokar.
他的母亲不属于这个世界
His mother is not of this world.
她想把帕拉带到她来的地方
She wants to bring him to where she comes from.
于是她带着儿子去了所谓的因陀罗天堂
And so she takes her son to what's called Indra's Heaven.
根据神话
According to mythologies,
吴哥窟的中心部分是一个一对一的复♥制♥品
the center part of Angkor Wat is a one-to-one replica of whatever was seen out there.
根据一些专家的说法
NARRATOR: According to some experts,
吴哥窟的布局揭示了另一个有趣的与宇宙的联♥系♥
the layout of Angkor Wat reveals another intriguing connection to the cosmos.
在1996年
In 1996,
作者兼研究员约翰·格雷斯比发现这座神庙建筑群
author and researcher John Grigsby discovered that the temple complex
似乎与夜空中的某些星星♥相♥对应
appears to align with certain stars in the night sky.
约翰·格雷斯比有了惊人的发现
John Grigsby made a brilliant discovery.
他注意到整个吴哥窟建筑群
He noticed that the entire Angkor Wat complex
是德拉科(天龙座)的镜像
is a mirror image of the Draco constellation.
在拉丁语中,德拉科的意思是龙
In Latin, the word Draco means dragon.
索卡洛斯:如果你拿一张天龙星座的地图
TSOUKALOS: If you were to take a constellation map of Draco
将其叠加到吴哥窟的地图上
and superimpose it onto a map of Angkor Wat,
那么吴哥窟有多个结构
there are multiple structures at Angkor Wat that line up
与天龙座的主要恒星♥相♥吻合
exactly to the main stars of the constellation of Draco.
所以你不得不怀疑这两者之间的联♥系♥
So you have to wonder what the connection is.
这个问题的答案,在我看来是
And the answer to that, in my opinion,
如果你想向当地人口展示,你来自哪里…
is that if you would like to show a local population where you are from...
你就会让他们照着你母星的星座建造东西
you have them build something in the constellation of where you are from.
对我来说,这些都是我们很久以前的老师的名片
To me, those are calling cards where our teachers long ago came from.
吴哥窟的天国起源是否可能是真的?
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the story of Angkor Wat's celestial origins is true
它是否被特意设计成与天龙星座一致
and that it was purposely designed to line up with the stars of Draco
因为这里是帕拉·皮斯♥诺♥卡尔的祖籍吗?
because this was the ancestral home of Preah Pisnokar?
古代宇航员理论家指出
Ancient astronaut theorists point
寺庙中有许多龙形生物的描绘
to the temple's many depictions of dragon-like creatures
这进一步证明
as further evidence
它与天龙星座有着深刻的联♥系♥
that it has a profound connection to the Draco constellation.
在南亚的传统中
DOMINIC STEAVU: In south Asian traditions,
纳迦占据着重要的地位
nagas occupy an important place.
他们被认为是非常强大的生物
