Ancient Aliens

In the Mojave Desert, there is a structure

built to bestow everlasting life.

People were supposed to walk in one door

and come out the other and be healed.

And according to the architect,

it was designed by otherworldly beings.

He could communicate with distant ancestors

or even time travelers coming and going from the Earth.

They showed him the future,

and this was his destiny.

In your wildest imagination,

you wouldn't come up with something like the Integratron.

The dome was taking many different scientific ideas

and melding them together.

Could this strange domed building

really provide the key to immortality?

If we could figure out the Integratron, then,

for all intents and purposes,

we could live forever.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Aerodynamics engineer and inventor George Van Tassel

is in his hotel room preparing to reveal

his latest scientific discoveries

in a television interview

when he suddenly and unexpectedly dies.

Friends and family members are shocked

when it is reported that he suffered a fatal heart attack,

since Van Tassel, at 67 years of age,

was in perfect health and had shown no warning signs.

His sister, Peggy Manyo,

became suspicious when she discovered

that the body had been cremated

before she was even notified.

And perhaps most curious of all,

his wife Doris claimed that, during her husband's funeral,

their home was ransacked

and George's papers stolen.

As soon as he passed away,

mysterious vans and trucks showed up,

and all of his equipment

and plans and drawings

and a lot of his writings were loaded up into these trucks...

supposedly government trucks...

and hauled away, never to be seen again.

If the government found all this stuff important enough

to show up right after he died and haul it away,

then at least some people within the government believed

there was something worth studying,

something worth looking at.

But what was George Van Tassel working on

that would elicit so much interest

from the United States government

and even prompt family members to speculate

that he may have been murdered?

While Van Tassel had been working

on a number of intriguing projects,

including an antigravity device,

his masterwork was a machine he built

in the Mojave Desert called the Integratron.

It was a machine designed to extend life

and perhaps even lead to immortality.

George Van Tassel often quoted

Corinthians 15:26.

"The last enemy to be destroyed is death."

George believed that our lifespan is too short

and, in order to get wisdom,

we should live longer.

And that was part of his motivation

to create this machine,

to bring wisdom to people.

'Cause just as you're getting it together,

boom, you die.

If you could walk through this machine counterclockwise,

come out the other side and be 30% younger,

what more could you do with your life?

It's in the middle of nowhere.

It's incredibly flat.

And there you see this white, round building

with a half dome on top,

and it's got these 16 sections.

The Integratron was made in a way that

is very ideally suited for capturing energy

and the way George Van Tassel thought of the Integratron

as a battery charger, a way to prolong life.

The basic idea behind the Integratron

was to introduce a machine,

through harmonics,

with which you then can rejuvenate your cells.

Because if we could figure out a way

from preventing our individual cells

from deteriorating or getting older,

then, for all intents and purposes,

we could live forever.

At the time of his death,

George Van Tassel had just announced

that the device he had been working on for 24 years

was 95% complete

and would be fully functional within weeks.

When his house was ransacked during his funeral,

the core of the Integratron and other critical components

also disappeared,

leaving no question as to what the intruders were after.

Those papers and that equipment,

none of that has ever been seen again.

Could this unusual structure

located in the middle of the Mojave Desert

really hold the key to immortality?

While it may sound farfetched,

many who have studied the incredible story

of George Van Tassel are convinced

that he might actually have succeeded

in a quest for eternal life

that has endured for thousands of years.

We took a bite out of that apple in the Garden of Eden.

We had knowledge.

But the price of that knowledge

was that we were aware of our own mortality.

And since that day,

we've been looking for that fountain of youth,

that way to extend our lifespan or maybe even live forever.

In 2018,

archeologists excavating the tomb

of a Han dynasty noble family in Luoyang, China,

unearthed some of the earliest evidence ever found

of human efforts to cheat death.

Recently, in an archeological dig in a Chinese burial chamber,

an ancient 2,000‐year‐old bronze pot was recovered

with the remnants of a substance that was later determined

was probably an elixir of immortality.

Ancient Taoist texts confirmed

the liquid substance to be a legendary potion

brewed by Chinese alchemists,

granting eternal youth to those who dared drink it.

Lab results revealed the potion is largely made up

of potassium nitrate and alunite,

which, while not poisonous,

are used in pesticides,

fertilizers and rocket propellants.

It's a powerful reminder

of the fact that humans,

probably for thousands of years,

have had this sort of desire to‐to extend our lives.

The Han dynasty elixir

is just the latest of many ancient attempts at immortality

discovered by archeologists over the years.

But what drives humankind to seek eternal life?

Is it merely self‐preservation?

Or could there be another force at work,

one that may be connected to the fact

that every ancient culture on Earth

described the gods as immortal?

In ancient Greek myths,

we learn of the food of the gods,

which they called ambrosia,

an immortality food.

These beings possess some form of a‐a liquid or an elixir

that, ultimately, somehow altered their blood

and promoted immortality.

Some of the stories that we hear

about this drink, ambrosia,

is when the eyewitness is taken up into the sky.

There are actual ancient Greek mythologies

that describe these shiny star islands

that descended from the sky

and then, under their own propulsion,

moved around.

The entire Greek pantheon of gods

is based on visiting extraterrestrials.

Is it possible

that humanity's centuries‐old quest to attain eternal life

is fueled by a desire to become like the otherworldly beings

that our ancestors actually encountered?

Curiously, there are a number of stories from the ancient world

presented not as fiction but as historical record

that describe people of an earlier age

living extraordinarily long lives.

In the Old Testament, the Book of Genesis,

we learn of figures like Noah and Methuselah

who lived for hundreds of years,

800 and 900 years.

The Bible never tells us

how they were able to live that long.

There is an artifact

at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England,

that is called the WB 44 Kings List

of ancient Sumeria.

On there, you have a chronology of kings,

and the combined years

of when these rulers were in charge

is 241,000 years.

And on that WB 44 list,

you have so‐called historical figures,
