Ancient Civilizations - Season 5

Could the area we have come to know as the mighty Pacific once have been mostly land? If so, what catastrophe ended the ancient civilization of Mu? From indigenous oral traditions to modern sacred texts, discover the mystery of the pre-diluvian motherland of Mu. Explore alternative research from the combined disciplines of archeology and spiritualism to uncover the potential originals for many of the legends throughout the Pacific Rim. Examine potential clues that lead to Mu's catastrophic demise and spark a new understanding of the power and influence of this once-thriving motherland that is now below the surface of the Pacific Ocean.

Explore the historical writings and readings that kept the legend of Atlantis alive, and discover the geological clues that add validity to the tales of the quick and catastrophic end of Atlantis. As alternative researchers search for evidence beyond the great pillars of Hercules, what other clues will be discovered to help us understand the location, size, and influence of this once great Empire that was swallowed by the sea. Examined together, a cohesive narrative forms a more complete understanding of the lost civilization known as Atlantis.

How drastically did the Younger Dryas alter the surface of the Earth and the course of human evolution?

The mystery behind the absolute destruction of the geological period known as the Younger Dryas is one of the most debated by scientists and alternative researchers. Emerging evidence about this time of Earth's history reveals not a single but a possible series of cataclysmic impacts responsible for the loss of ancient civilizations like Mu and Atlantis.

From escaped fragments of a former planet to comets and coronal mass ejections, what light can experts shed upon world-changing events of the anomalous period of the Younger Dryas?

Were certain cultures pre-informed of the complete alteration of Earth, and did survivors take refuge underground with those known as the "ant people?"

Alternative researchers continue to explore enigmatic, planet-altering impacts which launched our modern epoch from the debris of the Younger Dryas period. Extreme disruptions to climate and sea level may have been powerful enough to drastically shift Earth's axis and transform existing life at that time. What real cataclysmic geologic events were behind the myths of a Great Flood which utterly obliterated Earth and potentially altered the course of our evolution?

Woven into legend and lore, the mysterious origin of our planet's moon has long been explored by NASA missions, alternative researchers, and even Pink Floyd. Since the Younger Dryas, three prevailing mainstream theories have surfaced to explain our moon's mathematical precision. The satellite's size and orbit correspond to sacred numbers found in world religions. This episode explores a fourth theory, rooted in ancient mythology: was our moon precisely placed to counteract the effects of the Younger Dryas?

The battle for rewriting the historical record and accepted timeline of our species and planet offers new revelations of an Atlantean outpost driven underground by the cataclysmic events of the Younger Dryas.

Images from a 1970's side scan sonar detected step-like features similar to Mayan and Aztec pyramids submerged 2,000 feet on the ocean floor off the coast of Cuba. Kept quiet by academics and abandoned by commercial explorers, these ruins challenge the standard model accepted by modern archaeology. When deep sea relics in the Caribbean are examined alongside theories of an Atlantean empire of islands proposed by Plato and Edgar Cayce, the possibility of an ancient Mesoamerican civilization emerges.

Did displaced ascended masters from ancient island homelands relocate to the mythological "land of dragons" in China due to cataclysmic climate changes? A sophisticated megalith in an abandoned quarry, intricately carved caves, and a giant white pyramid suggest that a pre-diluvian civilization may have had ties to Mu and Atlantis. Explore how these ancient sites provide more evidence from a time before the Younger Dryas Period and sharply challenge the mainstream timeline for the rise of civilization.

How did sophisticated prediluvian megaliths appear on the world's eleventh largest island of Sulawesi, Indonesia during a time with no recorded civilization?

Giant granite statues and jars, with precision-engineered carvings are found throughout Sulawesi's Bada Valley. The shared style of humanoid megaliths across the globe sparks modern speculation about a lost culture in ancient Sundaland, that could intricately shape one of the toughest stones on the planet.

The location of the quarry and transport methods and tools remain open questions explored by alternative researchers who look to Sulawesi for links to the ancient Pacific Empire of Mu.

In the remote rainforest of the Amazon, is there evidence that connects the lost empires of Mu and Atlantis?

From Ecuador, across Bolivia, and into Peru, the Incan Trail connects prediluvian ceremonial sites on a path of misunderstood monuments through mountains and valleys. These mysterious relics and subterranean secrets inspired legendary expeditions by the likes of Neil Armstrong, among others. What treasures were found inside the Tayos Caves deep in the jungle? What wisdom can alternative researchers learn from the tribal custodians of this ancient land?
