Legendas (130)
0:09Astronaut Neil Armstrong is embarking on a
perilous mission not to the moon but to the
0:16jungle. He is searching for a secret cave
system in Ecuador known as Cueva de Los
0:27Over 100 people are gathered for this.
0:30We're talking Ecuadorian military, British
scientists from around the world, university
0:39Armstrong is no ordinary explorer.
0:42These are no ordinary caves.
0:46There is a legend attached to these caves
which involves a metal library made of gold.
0:54There are these books made of metal,
inscribed in a mysterious language that no
0:59one understands, but presumably that contain
some unimaginable store of knowledge just
1:06waiting to be discovered.
1:09Armstrong is traveling with Stan Hall, a
Scottish engineer, who first alerted him to
1:15the possible existence of an ancient library
hidden underground.
1:20Stan Hall's daughter, recounts the pair's
extraordinary expedition.
1:25Some people believe that the metal library
contain information from a civilization from
1:30beyond this planet that showed us how to
build the pyramids and other such features in
1:38The knowledge contained in this metal library
could turn what we think we know about
1:43ourselves and our world right on its head.
1:47So what amazing secrets does the library
contain?
1:53According to legend, The Lost Library
contains details of a technology that
1:58originated on another world.
2:02But why is such a story given credence by
such a well known and respected man of
2:07science, the great Neil Armstrong?
2:10And, as some are asking, was his interest in
extraterrestrial secrets sparked by a close
2:16encounter of his own?
2:22Over half a billion people watched Armstrong
land on the moon in 1969 as pictures were
2:28beamed back to Earth.
2:29That's one small step for man.
2:32One giant leap for mankind.
2:35But some claim that the transmission was
interrupted for a full two minutes.
2:44What happened to those two minutes?
2:47Nasa vehemently denies anything strange
happened.
2:51Others aren't so sure.
2:53When Neil Armstrong came back from the moon.
2:56Almost immediately, stories began to
circulate.
3:01Supposedly while on the moon.
3:03Neil Armstrong switches his communication
channel to the medical officer and he says
3:11Halo three. Houston. We're coughing.
3:13He says they're on the edge of the crater and
they're watching us.
3:21Okay, we can verify the position.
3:24They were relating that they were seeing
things on the rim of the crater.
3:28And by things I mean extraterrestrial beings
and vehicles.
3:32People report that he was or we were warned
off the moon.
3:39Now, none of these reports can be
substantiated.
3:44It's a mind boggling story, but some find
corroboration in Armstrong's behavior on his
3:51Something happened to him up there.
3:53He was changed. He was touched.
3:56Neil Armstrong returned from the moon and
showed what appears to me to be signs of
4:03post-traumatic stress.
4:05I think that he encountered things on the
journey to the moon and on the lunar surface,
4:11much closer encounters than simply watching
lights out of his cockpit.
4:17Nasa denies the astronaut encountered
anything unexpected on the moon.
4:23Armstrong never discussed what was said in
the missing two minutes of audio.
4:29He turned inward, he became a very private
person.
4:33The one thing that he did do, though, is to
go on this expedition into this cave.
4:38And we have to wonder, what was he hoping to
find?
4:42In this dark subterranean world.
4:47Where did he think was going to be down
there?
4:52Social science professor Petronio Jaramillo
claimed to have seen the ancient metal
4:56library in 1946, when he was just 17,
following a map given to him by his uncle.
5:04From his accounts, it sounded like Haramija
was describing Aladdin's cave.
5:09The library itself was amazing to behold.
5:13Thousands of volumes of metal books, each
weighing about £40, and on the pages are
5:20impressed characters and symbols.
5:25If there's 1 in 1,000,000 chance that it's
true.
5:28Shouldn't we go back and look for this
golden Library?
5:3230 years after Jaramillo claimed to have
found the library, Armstrong sets out to
5:37discover if the legend is real.
5:40Getting to the entrance of this cave is a
nightmare.
5:45You're talking dense jungle.
5:47You're talking crazy animals that can kill
you.
5:50Viruses. All kinds of hazards.
5:58To enter this mysterious underworld is
treacherous.
6:03It's literally this black void and this big
abyss.
6:06Once inside the caverns, Armstrong and Hall
are awestruck.
6:12They made their way through chamber after
chamber of cathedral sized spaces.
6:20It looks as if these chambers, so
inaccessible and so far from human
6:25civilization, have not been formed by
natural processes.
6:30The caves had straight walls and right angled
turns.
6:33Unlike any other natural formation.
6:37This must be thousands of years old.
6:40So how is this possible?
6:44As Armstrong presses further into the cave
complex, he makes a macabre find.
6:51They actually came upon a burial chamber.
6:54There was a seated skeleton that was dated
to 1500 BC.
7:001500 BC predates King Tutankhamun.
7:03It predates the Siege of Troy.
7:06At this distant time, Ecuador was one of the
most advanced areas in all of the Americas.
7:15The tomb was located in such a way that the
rays of sunlight on the summer solstice would
7:23come through the cave entrance and and
strike this tomb.
7:27So it appears to perhaps have had some kind
of cosmological significance the way it had
7:34This was not just a typical burial.
7:36This was an important person in an important
location.
7:41The light. The skull.
7:45Armstrong feels that strange metal library
must be close.
7:52For the First Man on the moon.
7:54A journey to the center of the Earth in
search of an elusive legendary metal library.
8:00The culture that put it there was more
advanced than than we think.
8:04Armstrong finds weird chambers and a 3500
year old skeleton in a strangely illuminated
8:11tomb. But after venturing several miles
along difficult tunnels, the expedition is
8:20My father and Neil Armstrong did not find the
treasure, but they mapped about ten miles
8:24worth of the cave system.
8:25But it's known now that this system
stretches far beyond.
8:29We could be looking at hundreds of miles
worth of cave systems.
8:36Armstrong returns to his farm in Ohio and
doesn't discuss why he went looking for the
8:43What did he feel was so important down there
in that hole?
8:50That he was willing to sign his name onto
this venture.
8:56He became more and more reclusive.
8:59According to some people.
9:00And he was a very private man to begin with.
9:04But whatever his experiences were, I think
they tended to kind of close him off.
9:12But then in 1994, at the white House, 20
years after his quest to find the ancient
9:18metal library, Armstrong gives a strangely
worded speech.
9:24We have only completed a beginning.
9:28We leave you much that is undone.
9:33There are great ideas, undiscovered
breakthroughs available to those who can
9:40remove one of truth's protective layers.
