而事实上拜访他们的其实是远古外星人 they were visited by none other than ancient aliens.
物质生命 Physical beings.
世界上有数百万人 Millions of people around the world believe we have

若真如此 会如何? What if it were true?
远古外星人真的帮我们塑造了历史吗? Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

残暴的土匪 他们以残忍著称 Bloodthirsty bandits whose reputation for brutality
数个世纪来这样的名声一直伴随着他们 would follow them through the centuries.
只要人们想到挪威人或是维京人 When people think of the Norse or the Vikings,
就会想疯狂掠夺者跳进船只 they think of crazed marauders jumping in boats,
强奸、抢劫和掠夺 where they rape, pillage and plunder.
这是很糟糕的想象 And it's, uh, an unfortunate image
蒂莫西·R·丹荷林尼博士 加州大学洛杉矶分校 北欧分部 教授/主席
因为这是肤浅的 because it'sone-dimensional.
其中大多数的探险者 他们并非纯粹地 A lot of these expeditions that they went on were not purely,
呃 想要远征或是进行海盗式袭击 uh, expeditionary or pirate raids.
他们大多数人在为实现贸易路线的开放而努力 A lot of these were efforts to open trade routes.
如果我们回到8、9世纪 If we got back to the eighth century, ninth century,
会发现北欧许多社会是运作良好的 we find that a lot of the Norse societies were well-functioning.
他们有着固定的农业经济 They had well-established agricultural economies,
以及科技文化 and they had a culture of technology.
维京人或是挪威人 The Vikings, or Norse people,
从8世纪末期开始兴旺 直到11世纪 flourished from the late eighth century to the 11th century
也就是今天的挪威、瑞典和丹麦 in what is today Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
但是与希腊、罗马或埃及这些古文明不同 But unlike other ancient civilizations, like Greece,
人们对这些神秘人知之甚少 Rome or Egypt, relatively little is known about this mysterious people,
书面记录和文字也少有幸存 as few written records or hieroglyphs have survived.
人们通常不会将挪威人 People typically don't think of the Norse

与精致挂钩 as particularly sophisticated,
但是他们的技术相当精致 but they were enormously sophisticated in terms of technology.
船舶建造、桥梁建筑、堡垒建设 Ship building, bridge building, fortress building.
提起这个我首先会想到的就是丹麦的圆形堡垒 And I'm thinking here primarily of the circular fortresses in Denmark.
它们是绝对的圆形 They are absolutely circular.
它们由外面带着壕沟的城墙和 They consist of ramparts with an external ditch,
各方位的通道组成 gateways at each of the compass points.
尽管他们的文明散落在很多王国 Although their civilization was divided among numerous kingdoms,
北欧维京人在对 the Norse Vikings were united in their belief
个体力量的追求方面是一致的 in the power of the individual.
他们有着一种早期的代表大会 They had a kind of early assembly that
这在那个时期是很先进的 was very advanced for its time
乔纳森·杨 约瑟夫·坎贝尔档案 创始馆长
它的出现先于欧洲的其他地区所有的民主方式 before the other areas of Europe had any kind of democracy.
他们提出了这样的想法： So they actually came up with the idea that
力量并非属于皇室 而是属于个人的 power belonged to the people, not the royalty.
他们拥有原始民主 They had something of a proto-democracy,
那个时期 来自于这个特殊区域的人们 and people would come from that particular region in order to

但或许最让历史学家惊叹的是 But perhaps most incredible to historians was
维京人从斯堪的纳维亚到此航行了如此之远 how far the Vikings traveled from their Scandinavian homeland.
在他们的欧洲同行数百年之前 Hundreds of years before their European counterparts,
维京人从斯堪迪纳维亚出发 去探索和 the Vikings set out from Scandinavia to explore
征服广阔的欧洲地区 甚至中东 and conquer vast territories in Europe and even the Middle East.
他们是发明船只的人 They were the ones that invented ships,
他们是比其他德国部落 and they were the ones that traveled about much more
更深入地探索南方的人 extensively than the other German tribes further south.
挪威人的长船行遍了半个地球 The Norse criss-crossed half the world in their long-ships.
东面 他们顺着俄罗斯的河流而下 In the east, they sailed down the rivers of Russia
到达了黑海和里海 to the Black and the Caspian Sea.
西面 他们沿着欧洲海岸航行 In the west, they sailed down the coast of Europe,
穿过直布罗陀海峡抵达地中海 through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean.
他们到了当时还不为人知的大西洋 They reached out across the then-unknown Atlantic ocean.
他们去了所有能去的地方 They went almost everywhere there was to go.
据考古学家所说 20世纪60年代在纽芬兰 According to archeologists, artifacts discovered in Newfoundland,
和加拿大发现的古器物证明了 Canada during the 1960s proved that the Vikings
维京人是第一批进入北美的欧洲人... were the first Europeans to set foot in North America...
比克里斯多弗·哥伦布要早上500年 500 years before Christopher Columbus.
我记得在我小时候 曾经有一段时间 I remember a time when it was very contentious
挪威人进入美洲这件事 about the Norse getting to America
颇受争议 when I was young.
罗伯特·鲍威尔 《黑色起源》合著者
那是一场很大型的争论 This was a major, major argument.
如今 我们已经在那里发现了他们 Now, we have found their settlements there from about
从公元1000年开始在那里定居 很显然 1,000 A. D., so it's very, very clear that
他们将它建在了北美北部 they made it to northern North America.
挪威人的优势在于 The main advantage of the Norse
他们卓越的造船技术 was their excellence in ship-building.
确实 船只成了海盗时代的标志 And, indeed, the ship has become the symbol of the Viking age.
那些用仿维京船只航海的人评论说 Those who have sailed replicas of Viking ships have commented
那些船只非常适用于航海而且速度极快 on just how incredibly seaworthy and fast these ships were.
是他们的船只让他们得以 It's their ship that allowed them to
进行远距离的航行 travel over these long distances.
是他们完善了龙骨结构 They were the ones, uh, that really sort of perfected the keel,
使得船只在穿越大西洋时 which meant that the ship wouldn't flip over when going
不会翻船 across the Atlantic.
长船的发展是一项惊人的改革 The development of the long-ship was an incredible innovation.
这些非常光滑、非常灵活的工艺 These were very sleek, very supple craft that could be
在河里和公海里都能起作用 equally effective on rivers and in the high seas.
这些船很轻巧也很牢固 They were very light and extremely strong craft that was
而且带有一些弹性 所以在公海 also slightly flexible, so in a high seas or
或是风暴等情况下 它能幸存下来 storm or something, it could survive.
他们对于流体动力学有着很深刻的理解 They had a very solid understanding of hydrodynamics.
在一些船只上 我们还发现了 In some of the ships, we also found advanced signs of metallurgy,
他们使用冶金术、熔炼和各种合金的先进迹象 smelting and different types of alloys that they were using.
这些技术似乎完全脱离了 And this is all out of context from other cultures
贾森·马爹利 《知识启示录》的作者
他们所处时代的文化背景 they seemed to be interacting with.
但是令许多研究人员困惑的是 But many researchers remain baffled at
维京人是如何在社会、政治和 how the Vikings became so socially, politically and
技术方面变得如此先进 特别是 technologically advanced, especially while
他们居住在北方寒冷、恶劣环境下的那个时期 living in the cold, harsh environment of the north.
在我们研究像玛雅和埃及这些古代文化时 When we look at ancient cultures such as the
威廉·亨利 《神话研究》作者
研究人员从来不会去考虑他们离家乡有多遥远 Maya and Egyptians, they never wandered very far from their homeland.
即使是密切相关的希腊人 Even the Greeks stayed close.
但是维京人 遍布天下 But the Vikings, they were everywhere.
你会考虑 他们是否只是好奇心很强的人？ And you wonder, were they just extremely curious people?
是什么促使他们 What motivated them to go to these
跨越如此遥远的距离去探索世界？ extraordinary lengths to explore the world?
他们在寻找什么？ What was it that they were looking for?
北欧维京人是如何掌握 Just how were the Norse Vikings able to manage
这样的技术和地理特长？ such technological and geographical feats?
他们的堡垒和对未知大陆探索的行程 Are their fortresses and journeys to unknown continents
是否表明维京人使用着外星人的知识？ evidence that the Vikings had access to extraterrestrial knowledge?
远古外星人理论家认为答案是肯定的 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and believe the proof can
他们认为通过研究这些神秘人的宗教信仰 be found by examining the religious beliefs
可以找出证据 of this mysterious people.
英国 林迪斯法恩 Lindisfarne, England.
公元793年 793 A.D.
数百名维京入侵者为了 Several hundred Viking raiders make landfall on this small
掠夺大修道院里传说中的财宝 tidal island off the coast of Northumbria,
登上了诺森伯兰沿岸的这座潮汐小岛 to plunder a great monastery of its rumored treasures.
林迪斯法恩一份关于这次袭击的记录里描述 An account of the attack on Lindisfarne says the assault
攻击伴随着离奇的旋风 闪电 coincided with extraordinary whirlwinds，lightning
天空中火龙交错 and fiery dragons crisscrossing the skies.
这些怪事是否只是巧合？ Could these strange events be coincidence?
又或者 这是异世力量 Or could it be evidence that otherworldly forces may have
与维京人结盟的证据？ been allied with the Vikings?
远古外星人理论家相信 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer can be found
通过调查那些构成挪威宗教和神话基础的神 by examining the divine beings that form the basis of Norse
就能找到答案 religion and mythology.
北欧在很长的一段时间和 The Norse gods were worshiped over a very
很广的地域范围内都敬奉着挪威神 wide range of time and space throughout northern Europe,
从德国大陆到英国岛屿 from the continental German lands through the British islands,
卡尔·E·H·塞格弗里德 北欧神话学者
以及更远的北方岛屿 如冰岛和格陵兰 the far northern islands, such as Iceland and Greenland,
并且贯穿整个 斯堪的纳维亚 and all throughout Scandinavia.
由于幸存的关于挪威起源 Because little information has survived related
以及维京神的信息极少 to the origin of the Norse, or Viking gods,
现代学者的研究依赖于两部编写于 modern scholars depend on a pair of Icelandic books written
维京时代数百年之后的《埃达》 several hundred years after the Viking Age called the Eddas.
我们发现 And so we find that there's the god Odin,
奥丁神 弗雷神 索尔神 the god Frey, the god Thor.
那些可能是最广为人知的 Those are probably the best known.
但是还有一些其他的神 But there are a bunch of other supporting gods
充实了这些神话 who flesh out this mythology.
神生活在自己的世界里 The gods live in a world of their own,
但是他们和人类的世界有着紧密的联系 but it's closely connected to the world of men.
挪威人对宇宙有着最华丽的 The Norse had some of the richest descriptions
描述和介绍 and references to the cosmos.
实际上 他们将宇宙称为“世界之树” In fact, they referred to the cosmos as "Yggdrasil,"
即生命之树 meaning the tree of life.
那是一种表征他们宇宙观念的符号 That was the symbol of their idea of the cosmos.
并且他们特意指出 在他们的宇宙中 And they were very specific in stating that their cosmos
乔治·A·托卡洛斯 《传奇时代杂志》出版商
包含着九个不同的世界 我们地球是其中之一 contained nine different worlds, one of which is ours, the Earth.
在北欧神话体系里 We often hear about the Nine Worlds of the
我们总能听到九个世界 Nordic mythological realm.
其中有亚斯格特——索尔神和奥丁神之家 There's Asgard... and that's the home of the gods Thor and Odin.
还有人类的世界 There's the world of humans.
我们叫做中间世界 或米德加尔特 We call this Middle Earth, or Midgard.
如果我们走出亚斯格特和米德加尔特更远些 If we go step a little bit further outside of Asgard and Midgard,
我们就来到了约顿海姆 又叫巨人国度 we confront Jotunheimr, or the land of the giants.
我们会来到穆斯贝尔海姆——火之国 We'll encounter Muspells,which is an area of fire.
我们会来到尼福尔海姆 We'll encounter Niflheimr,
这是冰霜巨魔所生活的世界 which is another world where the frost ogres live.
我们会来到亚尔夫海姆 这是精灵之国 We'll encounter Alfheimr, which is where the elves live.
根据《埃达》的记载： According to the Eddas,
亚斯格特是最强大之神的家 Asgard was home to the most powerful of the gods.
它被描述为美丽而和平的地域 It is described as a beautiful and peaceful realm,
充满了发光的大厅full of glimmering halls and fertile
被闪光的河流分开的肥沃的土地 fields cut by shimmering rivers.
奥丁是众神之首 Odin is the chief of the gods.
他生活在天空之顶——亚斯格特 He lives in the highest of the heavens, Asgard.
他只有一只眼睛 He had one eye.
他舍弃一只眼睛换取了饮用智慧之泉的权利 He'd given up an eye to drink of the water of truth.
所以他富有智慧 So he has this depth of wisdom.
他是能够将狂暴和危险带给敌人的战神 So he's a warrior god able to bring fury and danger to the enemies.
奥丁是赋予人们诗歌文字之神 Odin was the god that gave people written language in the runes,
他是赋予他们诗歌蜜酒之神 he was the god that gave them the poetic mead,
他那位赋予了他们众多 he was the god that gave them many aspects of
引领他们走向高尚生活的神 what would be considered a sort of noble way of life.
但是 是否奥丁不仅是神话中的神？ But was Odin perhaps something other than a mythic deity?
是否他真的存在过？ Could he have actually existed?
若真如此 又怎样？ And if so, how?
远古外星人理论家相信 Ancient astronaut theorists believe
关于奥丁真实身份的线索隐藏在神话对于 clues to Odin's true identity may lie in the myths
他的两只乌鸦——福金和雾尼的描述里 describing his two ravens，Huginn and Muninn.
奥丁的乌鸦是他的侦察兵 Odin's Ravens were his scouts.
它们是他的侦查组 They were his research team.
福金和雾尼代表了思维和记忆 Huginn and Muninn represent thought and memory.
奥丁有这些侦察兵 这些间谍会飞出去 So Odin had these scouts, these spy satellites that would go out
查看他今天需要知道的活动 and see what he needed to learn for today's activities.
依据挪威传说 每天早晨 According to Norse legends, every morning
奥丁放出他的两只魔法乌鸦 福金和雾尼 Odin sent out his two magical ravens, Huginn and Muninn,
晚上乌鸦回来 他就听取他们的汇报 and at night those ravens would return and he would listen to them,
它们告诉他在一天里观察到的 and they would tell him everything that they observed throughout
每一件事 the entire day.
学者相信 奥丁的两只乌鸦 Scholars believe Odin's two ravens
翻译过来即思想和记忆——只是神话的产物 translated as thought and memory，were simply mythological creations.
但是 是否有可能福金和雾尼其实是 But is it possible that Huginn and Muninn were actually
别的什么东西？ something else?
某些更高科技的东西？ Something perhaps more technological?
当他想观察整个世界 Whenever he wanted to observe other worlds,
探查人们在做什么 他就把这两只乌鸦放出去 find out what they were doing, he would send these two ravens out,
大卫·查尔德里斯 《神之技术》 作者
它们就像无人侦察机之类的东西 and they would be like spy drones or something,
它们会去别的国度然后返回 and they would go to these other countries and then come back to
并向奥丁报告所发生的一切 Odin and report to him what was going on.
这看起来就像奥丁拥有 And it would seem like what Odin had was
某种间谍飞机或无人侦察机 some kind of spy planes or spy drones
他将它们投放出去 就像如今我们所做的一样 that he was sending out much as we do today.
问题是 是否如挪威人所认为的 The question is whether the Norse really stated
菲利普·卡普斯 《远古外星人问题》作者
它们确实是乌鸦 还是说它们其实是其他东西 that these were ravens, or whether they were instead something else,
比如某种飞行物 that they were somehow flying objects.
在此我们有了一些神话的细节 So we have details here of something mythical,
乌鸦能与神对话 of ravens being able to speak to the gods,
或者乌鸦其实是某种无人侦察机 or the ravens are some kind of spy drone
或间谍卫星技术 or some other kind of spy satellite technology
奥丁能够通过它们获取信息 by which Odin is able to get information.
是否可能奥丁其实是 Could it be that Odin was actually an
一名外星探险家？ extraterrestrial explorer?
他能派出飞行器，像现代的无人驾驶机 One who sent flying machines，like modern-day drones
在古斯堪的纳维亚收集情报？ to gather intelligence on the ancient Scandinavians?
若是如此 维京神话中是否包含有更多 And if so, might there be more evidence of Odin's otherworldly
关于奥丁外星技术的证据？ technology contained within other Viking myths?
当奥丁坐在亚斯格特里 When Odin sits in Asgard, it's almost like he's
他几乎能得到全部情况 got total situational awareness.
他的乌鸦们可以每天飞出去然后飞回来 He's got these ravens who fly out every day and come back and
告诉他这个世界的新闻 tell him the news of the world.
而他仅需坐在他的宝座上 But he can also sit in this high seat.
奥丁的宝座 Odin's high seat,
基本可以译为“瞭望塔” which is a name that basically translates as the "watchtower,"
他能坐那里瞭望他所创造的整个世界 is a place where he can sit and look out over all the worlds of creation
并且观察世界上发生的每一件事情 and see everything that's happening in the world.
是否可能正如远古外星人理论家所认为的那样 Is it possible that this high seat, or watchtower,
那个宝座或瞭望塔其实是 is yet another example of advanced extraterrestrial technology,
另一个外星人高科技的例子？ as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
那些源自于我们过去的奥丁神故事 Some of these stories that come out of our past of the god Odin,
他能在米德加尔特 或地球上方 and having the ability to actually sit above Midgard, or the Earth,
远距离的观察一切 and see everything from a vast distance,
我们不得不怀疑 we have to wonder if
是否这不仅仅是神话 this isn't actually mythological
而是强大的技术 but potentially technological.
对我来说这听起来像是奥丁坐在 It sounds to me as if Odin was sitting in some type of a
地球上方某种宇宙飞船的机长座里 captain's chair in a spaceship above the Earth,
才让他拥有如此视野 which allowed him to have this view.
当我们读到故事里的神 So the moment we have stories of gods
需要借助这类设备 needing all this type of equipment
来观察地球的时候 in order to find out
这首先会让我想到 first what is going on leads me to think
我们并非在讨论真正意义上的神 that we are not talking about actual gods,
而是在讨论掌握了科技的 but we are talking about space travelers
太空旅行者 who had access to technology,
我们的祖先目击这一切 and our ancestors witnessed all of this
他们说 好吧 这些家伙绝对是神 and they said, well, obviously these guys are gods.
是否正如远古外星人理论家所暗示的那样 Was Odin's high seat actually referring to an orbiting spaceship
奥丁宝座实际上是一艘沿轨道飞行的宇宙飞船 from which the chief god could look down on Earth,
在那里神之首领能俯视地球？ as some ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
若真如此 这是否有助于解释 And if so, might this also help explain
维京神另一个不可思议的技术？ the incredible technologies attributed to other so-called Viking gods?
作为雷电之神 As the god of thunder and lightning...
索尔能用他的魔法之锤召唤暴风 Thor was able to summon storms and battle giants with
与巨人作战 his magical hammer.
索尔是奥丁之子 Thor is the son of Odin.
他是一位天空之神 He is a sky god.
他管理雷电 He is in charge of thunder and lightning.
他有一把大锤子 He has a great hammer.
他是令人畏惧的存在 一位强大的神 He is... he's a terrifying presence, a power god.
人们常见到索尔坐在一辆由山羊拉着的巨车里 Thor was usually seen flying through the skies in a great
飞过天空 cart pulled by goats.
如果奥丁是众神之首 If Odin was the chief god,
那么索尔就是我们的神 Thor was the god for all of us.
在某种意义上 索尔是一位典型的天空之神 Thor, in a sense, is the quintessential sky god.
“雷”字就是从索尔演化而来的 Our word thunder comes from Thor.
在瑞典 雷电一词叫人想起 In Swedish, the word for thunder evokes the idea of driving
驾驭雷神之车驶过苍穹 Thor's chariots over the vault of heaven, and you can sort of
你能看到雷神之车穿过天空时的撞击和燃烧 see the crashing and the burning of that chariot going across
就像我们在风暴中 heaven as being the lightning and the thunder
看到闪电和打雷 that we experience in a storm.
他是一位卓越的人物 He's a remarkable character.
他非常强壮 嗯 他是一位保护者 He's very strong, uh, and he's a protector.
他走出来 痛殴并且杀死巨人 He goes out, and he basically beats up and kills giants.
他不仅保护神 附带着 Not only to protect the gods, but as an offshoot,
他也保护我们人类 kind of collateral damage, he protects us humans, as well.
依据挪威神话 According to Norse mythology,
索尔的力量来源于几件看起来不可思议的工具 Thor derived his power from several seemingly magical tools.
一件是梅金吉奥德 一条据说具有魔法的腰带 One was Menginjoro，a belt that is said to have magically
能加倍索尔本已令人敬畏的力量 doubled Thor's already awesome strength.
它被称为索尔的力量腰带 It was called Thor's power belt.
当我听到束上腰带能成倍 So the moment I hear stories about that you put on a belt,
增加你力量的故事时？ and it doubled your strength?
我不得不问自己 好吧 Then I have to ask myself, well,
是否有可能我们这里谈论的其实是 is it possible that what we're talking about here is some type
某种高科技设备？ of a technological device?
如今 我们确实已经达到 Today, we have actually come to the point
能让假肢听从大脑命令的技术水平 whereby these prosthetics are actually able to listen to brain commands.
因此我们实际上要做的就是 So what we've actually done is recreate some kind of exoskeleton,
创造某种外骨骼 一个外部的人工神经系统 an exterior, an artificial nervous system,
借助我们的大脑给我们的肢体下指令 whereby our brain gives commands to our limbs.
这些都要借助于科技 All of this through technology.
对于索尔的力量腰带的描述 Thor's belt of strength seems to have a very
似乎与我们称为仿生骨骼的现代技术 similar description to modern technology where we would call
非常相似 it a bionic exoskeleton.
通过给士兵添加一个装置 The ability for a soldier to put
来增强他们的速度和力量 on a device that would increase their speed and their strength
在如今已经成为可能 is possible today.
因此在我们思考关于索尔力量腰带的描述 So when we look at this description of Thor's strength in this belt,
非常可能 it's very possible,
它是某种外星人科技 this is some type of an extraterrestrial technology.
当古人在描述科技的时候 When the ancients are describing technology,
很显然他们无法准确得知那是什么 it's clear that they couldn't have known exactly what this was,
这打开了一个思路 是否我们今天 and it opens the question, is it possible that what we today
所谓的仿生骨骼其实是 would interpret as bionic exoskeletons was an actual
维京人或他们的神所拥有的发达科技 advanced technology possessed by the Vikings or their gods.
是否有可能 维京神 Is it really possible that the Viking gods
奥丁和索尔实际上是外星人访客？ Odin and Thor were, in fact, extraterrestrial visitors?
拥有先进技术的外星人？ Alien beings who possessed advanced technology?
若真如此 这些先进物种是从那里来的？ If so, where might this advanced species have come from?
他们是如何来到这里的？ How did they get here?
他们打算干什么？ And what was their agenda?
远古外星人理论家认为 Ancient astronaut theorists believe
或许能在其他很少被提及的 the answers may be found in the stories of
维京神的故事中找到答案 the other, lesser known, Viking gods.
在北欧传说里讲到 And in Nordic legends that tell
连接地球和神界的 of cosmic bridges linking planet
宇宙桥梁 Earth to an otherworldly realm.
瑞典 老乌普萨拉 Gamla Uppsala, Sweden.
斯德哥尔摩以北40英里的处的这座小镇 This small town, 40 miles north of Stockholm, is one of the oldest,
是斯堪的纳维亚最古老的长久定居点之一 continuously-inhabited sites in Scandinavia.
考古学家认为位于这座教堂之下的 Beneath this church, archaeologists have found what
就是著名的尤索拉寺庙遗迹 they believe are the remains of a famous temple called Ubsola.
依据一本十四世纪的书籍 According to a fourteenth century text called
《汉堡教会主教事迹》 The Deeds of Bishops of the Hamburg Church
这座华丽的寺庙 this ornate temple was
是建造用于敬奉最强大的维京神—— built to honor the most powerful Viking gods...
奥丁、索尔和弗雷 Odin, Thor and Freyr.
弗雷是挪威神话中 Freyr is the main fertility God
重要的丰饶之神 in Norse mythology.
我们所举行的与弗雷有关的仪式 The rituals that we do have evidence of connected to Freyr
似乎都与和平、繁荣有关 seem always to be connected to peace and prosperity.
因此所有这些特性 So, all of these characteristics
都显示出他与人类的关系 show him in a relationship with humans that's
集中在繁荣和生产的这些方面 centered around prosperity and fertility of various types.
人们相信弗雷能控制天气 Freyr was believed to control the weather,
他因社交技巧而闻名—— and was and was renowned for his diplomatic skills...
调和维京诸神和巨人间的争执 quieting the feuds among the numerous Viking gods and giants.
在维京众神中 有一位叫做洛奇的神 And in the Viking pantheon, it was a deity named Loki who
挑起了诸神之间的大多数冲突 provoked the most conflict among these gods.
洛奇实际上不是神 Loki is actually not a god.
他是被视为处在神之列的巨人 He's a giant who is counted amongst the gods.
在最后 And at the end of time,
他领着死人族和巨人与神对阵 he actually leads the dead and the giants against the gods.
他是个罪犯的角色 He's that transgressive character
总是挑起事端 who makes possible all of these conflicts
然后众神不得不去解决问题 that the gods then have to solve.
没有洛奇 就没有诸多冲突 Without Loki, a lot of the conflicts disappear,
也就没有了神话 and you don't have a mythology at all.
根据汇编在《埃达》中的故事 According to the stories compiled within the books of the Eddas,
洛奇为了尝试弥补他的某次错误 Loki tries to atone for one of his many acts of mischief
送给弗雷一艘名为“斯基德普拉特尼”的船 by giving Freyr a ship called Skidbladnir.
弗雷的斯基德普拉特尼 Freyr's ship, Skidbladnir
是水中最为精致的船 was the most fine craft that ever was in the water.
它能快速的到达任何地方 It could go anywhere at great speed, and then,
如果你需要它变小 if you needed it to be small,
你能把它装进一个小袋子里随身携带 you could put in a small pouch to carry it around.
“斯基德普拉特尼”很引人注目 Skidbladnir is remarkable,
因为你能把它折叠起来放进口袋 because you can fold it up and stick it in your pocket.
但是当你把它展开 But when you unfold it,
它就是最伟大的维京战船之一 it's one of the greatest Viking ships ever.
它总是有风 It always has a wind.
它总是顺风 It always has a fair wind.
因此你不必掌舵 So you don't have to tack.
它总是迅速的把你送到目的地 It always gets you where you're going in a hurry.
而且 当你到岸以后 And then, once you get it to shore,
你不必担心要把它停靠在何处 you don't have to worry about where you're going to stow it.
能把你的船折叠起来放进口袋 To be able to fold up your boat and put it in your pocket
这确实是你所能想象的最了不起的事情 really has to be about the greatest thing that you can imagine
如果你是一名维京造船师 if you're a Viking shipbuilder.
是否有可能“斯基德普拉特尼’实际上不是 But could it be that Skidbladnir was not the
神话虚构的产物 product of mythic imagination,
而是真实的宇宙飞船？ but was, in fact, an actual spacecraft?
被古斯堪的纳维亚人所目击？ One that was witnessed by early Scandinavians?
远古外星人理论家说 是的 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
他们相信证据就在传说中的种族上 and believe the proof lies in the legends of a race of
据说是他们 beings who are believed to have
制造了神使用的魔法工具 built the magical tools used by the gods.
在挪威神话里伊瓦第之子是侏儒 In Norse mythology, the Sons of Ivaldi were these dwarfs
他们为索尔和奥丁以及其他的挪威诸神 who made these special weapons for Thor
打造了特殊武器 and Odin and the other Norse gods.
因此 是这些矮个子侏儒 And so, here were these dwarfs, these gnomes,
these small people. 这些小家伙
他们制造了这些特别的非常高科技的武器 They're making these special, very high-tech weapons.
挪威神所使用的武器 The Norse gods are using them.
因此你不得不思考这些迷你人是谁 So you have to wonder just who these mini people are.
在挪威神话系统里 The Sons of Ivaldi were
伊瓦第之子是神的工匠大师 the master craftsmen of the gods in the Norse system.
他们所打造的这些特殊武器 And they made each of these special things
帮助这些英勇的神开拓了他们的伟绩 that are going to be needed by these heroic gods to do their deeds.
是否可能伊瓦第之子就是建造了 Might the Sons Ivaldi actually be the
挪威神弗雷使用的魔法飞船 engineers behind the building of Skidbladnir,
“斯基德普拉特尼”的工程师？ the magical ship used by the Norse god Freyr?
若真如此 他们是谁或是什么？ If so, who, or what were they?
现在的问题是 伊瓦第之子是否是真的侏儒 Now the question is, whether the Sons of Ivaldi are real dwarfs,
如今我们意义上的侏儒 the way we know dwarfs today, or whether they
还是说他们是虚构的人物 are somehow more mythical, or whether the label "dwarf"
又或者他们是因为长的小被称为成侏儒 actually stuck to them because they were somehow smaller.
当然 现在 我们的确也常将灰色外星人 And of course, today, we quite often describe the Grey alien
描述为侏儒 archetype as dwarfish, as well,
仅仅是因为他们比较小 simply because they are smaller.
是否有可能这些制作了高科技武器的矮人 Is it possible that these little people who are
正是真正的灰色外星人 making these high-tech weapons were really Grey aliens,
人们由于不知道如何去描述他们 所以他们 and because they didn't known how to describe them, they were
称他们为侏儒或矮人？ called them dwarfs or little people?
正是这些矮人给挪威神 And these little people are the ones who are making these
制作了高技术武器 high-tech weapons for these Norse gods.
看起来这些武器 It would seem that these weapons
是外星球属性的 are extraterrestrial in nature.
现在当你想到侏儒、 Now when you think of dwarfs,
乔治·诺瑞 连接海岸电台主持人
想到外星人、想到小灰人 and think of extraterrestrials, you think of little Greys,
我会觉得侏儒可能就是外星灰人 and I think the dwarfs might have been alien Greys.
是否在维京神话里描述的 Might the dwarf like Sons of Ivaldi
像伊瓦第之子的侏儒其实就是外星访客 described in the Viking mythologies really be the
如今我们所谓的灰人？ alien visitors we know today as the Greys?
是否可能维京或挪威神 And is it possible that the Viking or Norse gods themselves
其实也是从别的星球来的？ were in fact entities from another planet?
如真如此 他们怎么到这里的？ If so, how did they get here?
根据远古外星人理论家的说法 According to ancient astronaut theorists,
在维京神话里被称为毕弗罗斯特的 the answer lies in a Viking legend that speaks of
彩虹桥中能找到答案 a rainbow bridge called Bifrost,
那是一座连接神之疆域 a portal that links the realm of
和人类世界的通道 the gods with the world of men.
彩虹桥是一座 Bifrost is a bridge
连接亚斯格特和米德加尔特的桥梁 that connects Asgard to Midgard.
彩虹桥的概念很有趣 And the Bifrost conceptually is very interesting.
它可以使人和他们的神 It allows there to be a very clear connection
毫无阻碍的联系 between humans and their gods.
众神沿着彩虹桥前往他们聚会的地点-- The gods would travel along this rainbow bridge to their meeting,
神泉边上 which was by a divine well.
彩虹桥上的红色是炽热的 The red in the rainbow bridge was burning hot,
因此用它进行有效的交通很不容易 so it was quite a trick to use this effectively as a place of transportation.
有些学者推测这可能出自于 Some scholars have speculated that possibly this was inspired
银河 by the Milky Way.
因此 通过彩虹桥 So, here was this rainbow bridge that-that could
能通往神的家乡 be traveled upon to get to this home of the gods,
神之大陆 land of the gods.
因此 是否有可能这座彩虹桥 So, is it possible that this rainbow bridge, the-the Bifrost,
其实是某种虫洞 能够通过地球上的星门 was some kind of wormhole that would take people from a
将人们带到神的家乡 star gate on our planet to the home of the gods,
确切的说是另一个星球？ literally to another planet?
比如说你想从这里去中国 Say you wanted to get from here all the way around to China.
绕过地球确实比 It's actually longer to go around the earth than to cut
迈克尔·丹尼博士 美国加州大学欧文分校物理学家
穿过地球要远 through the earth.
直线总是最短的路径 A straight line is always the shortest path.
因此 你能想象一下如果你能制造一个虫洞 So, you can imagine if you could make a wormhole,
穿过空间连接俩个你想到达的星球 a cut through space that connects the two
你就能有效地缩短距离 points you want to get to, you could make the distance
更快的到达那里 effectively shorter and get there in a faster time.
古人不懂得用技术的描述去 Ancient man would not understand a technological
描绘一个虫洞 description to describe a wormhole,
但是这条光通道听起来与虫洞非常相似 but this path of light but this path of light sounds very similar.
是否虚构的彩虹桥 Might the mythical bridge of Bifrost really have
其实真的是一个星际虫洞？ been an interstellar wormhole?
一条太空中的宇宙通道 A cosmic tunnel in space through
所谓的维京神能通过它到达地球？ which the so-called Viking gods could travel to Earth?
远古外星人理论家相信 Ancient astronaut theorists believe
通过更进一步地研究维京神惊人的武器 further evidence can be found by a closer examination of
能找到更多的证据 the Viking gods' incredible weaponry.
瑞典 巴灵斯塔 Balingsta, Sweden.
这座位于斯德哥尔摩西北40英里处 Just outside this small town located 40 miles northwest of
小镇之外是一个古老的花岗岩雕刻区 Stockholm is an ancient carved granite block.
以博科斯塔纪念碑而闻名 Known as the Boksta Runestone,
它是少数幸存下来的遗迹之一 it is one of the few remaining relics that
石碑描绘了强大的奥丁神紧握他的魔法长枪 depict the mighty god Odin holding his magical spear:
永恒之枪 Gungnir.
博科斯塔纪念碑是一座特别的古遗迹 The Boksta Runestone is an extraordinary ancient relic
上面题刻着维京人 that has runic inscriptions
曾使用的古代北欧文字碑文 which were used by the Vikings.
它描绘了奥丁持矛骑在马背上 It shows Odin riding on horseback with a spear.
我们发现挪威众神有个特点 So, one of the things we find with the Norse gods
他们各自拥有不同寻常的武器 is they each have remarkable possessions,
其中为奥丁所持有的长枪 and among those is a spear that Odin claims for himself
称为永恒之枪 called Gungnir.
永恒之枪是一杆不同寻常的枪 And Gungnir is a remarkable spear in that,
无论你将它投向什么 它都能击中目标 whatever you throw it at, it's going to hit.
根据维京 或是挪威神话 According to Viking, or Norse, mythology,
奥丁之枪是由伊瓦第之子所造 Odin's spear was made by the Sons of Ivaldi,
他们也是斯基德普拉特尼的建造师 the very same creatures who built the ship Skidbladnir.
他们赋予长枪特殊属性 They imbued the spear with special properties that not only
使其不仅具有精确性 而且具有强大的力量 made it incredibly accurate, but gave it immense power.
永恒之枪是某种高科技武器 Gungnir was some kind of high-tech weapon.
它投出后必定命中目标 No matter who he threw it at, it would hit it.
就像是激光制导导弹之类的东西 Like some laser-guided cruise missile or something like that,
一旦向目标发射 that just simply could not miss its mark once
必定一击命中 it had been set to its target.
我们知道当他在战斗中使用它时 And we know that when he uses this in war,
它总是能击中目标 it always reaches its target.
这可不是什么简单的东西 This is not something which is simplistic.
这明显是先进的武器 This is something which clearly is advanced weaponry.
发现神掌控这样的武器 引出了两种可能 And to find that a deity has this at his disposal can be read
一：它是杜撰的 二：它确实存在 in two things: one, it is all made up; or two, it is actually factual.
如今 我们知道存在这样的武器 And today, we know that there are such weapons.
精准武器 像激光制导炸弹 Precision weapons, like laser-guided bombs,
巡航导弹和卫星制导炸弹 cruise missiles and satellite-guided munitions are
都是世界上最先进的军事武器库的主要配置 staples in the world's most sophisticated military arsenals.
是否可能奥丁长枪更类似于科技产品？ Is it possible that Odin possessed similar technology?
是否可能永恒之枪实际上是由 Could Gungnir actually have been a guided missile
外星人所制造的导弹？ created by otherworldly beings?
当古人描述科技时 When the ancients are describing technology,
显然 他们无法确切的了解那是什么 i-it's clear that they couldn't have known exactly what this was.
问题出现了 是否有可能 And it opens the question, is it possible that
永恒之枪是一种真实的先进科技 the weapon Gungnir was an actual advanced technology,
被维京人或他们的神所拥有？ maybe even possessed by the Vikings or their gods?
如果永恒之枪实际是制导导弹 If Gungnir was in fact a precision guided missile
类似于现在所谓的智能炸弹 similar to today's so-called smart bombs,
那么雷神之锤背后会隐藏着怎样的真相？ then what might be the facts behind Thor's mighty hammer, Mjolnir?
雷神之锤的来源很有趣 Thor's hammer had interesting origins.
小矮人们被迫打造了它 It was made by dwarfs under duress.
因此它的握柄比普通锤子要短 So, the handle wasn't quite as long as a hammer might be.
且具有强大的力量和精准性 But it was enormously powerful and it had great accuracy.
他抛出锤子击中预定目标 He could throw it and it would hit anything that he intended it to hit,
然后锤子会飞回他手中 and then it would come back to him,
就像飞回镖 almost in boomerang style.
雷神之锤 What Thor's hammer,
与挪威诸神的众多武器一样 like the weapons of many of the Norse gods,
似乎是某种高科技武器 would seem to be some high-tech real weapon,
可能是外星人给他们的 perhaps one given to them by extraterrestrials.
当他使用它时 And when he uses it,
据说这件武器可以摧毁山峦 it is actually said that this weapon is able to crush mountains.
想象一下一件能摧毁整座山的武器 Now, imagine a weapon which is able to destroy an entire mountain.
雷神之锤不是引发爆炸 The hammer does not cause explosions;
而是具有摧毁物体的物理能量 it is really the physical force which destroys the object.
就像某种如今我们称为动能武器的东西 That is something which today we describe as a kinetic weapon.
加州 山景城美国航空航天局埃姆斯研究中心 At the NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, California
锁上 locked.
科学家彼得·舒尔茨正在使用垂直枪设备 Scientist Peter Schultz is studying the enormous
研究高动能武器的巨大能量 power of kinetic energy using a device called a vertical gun.
这实际上是一门大炮 This is a giant cannon, essentially.
彼得·H·舒尔茨博士 布朗大学 地质学教授
它能发射出螺旋波 Then it goes up on a corkscrew
因此我们能从各种角度击中目标 so we can hit things at different angles.
这门炮能发射出极高的速度 This gun gets up to very high speeds,
如果你被它击中 and if you get really up there,
你将被融化、蒸发 you'll start melting and vaporizing material.
在某种意义上这是高动能武器 In a sense, this is a kinetic weapon,
除非我们不瞄准任何物体 或者目标在坦克里 except we're not pointing at anything except the target inside the tank.
为了研究高速动能的冲击效果 To study the effects of high-speed kinetic impacts,
科学家使用垂直枪 scientists use the vertical gun range to fire
以高达15000英里/小时的速度射击 projectiles into objects placed in this reinforced steel chamber
放置在加固金属容器中的目标 at speeds of up to 15,000 miles per hour.
今天我们将用这个重量大约为 Today, we're gonna take this small ball bearing,
1/100盎司的滚珠做实验 which is about 1/100 of an ounce,
我们将以每秒3英里的速度将它发射出 and we're gonna fire it at three miles per second.
那几乎是11000英里/小时 That's almost 11,000 miles per hour.
我们准备将它射进这个石块 And we're gonna send it into this block.
当你速度够快时 Now, when you go that fast,
尽管是这样一个小物体 with even an object that small,
也能产生动能 that's kinetic energy.
动能=质量*速度的平方 And kinetic energy is the mass times velocity squared.
所以如果你运动得够快 就能制造严重的伤害 So if you're going fast enough, you could do some serious damage.
看看我们所做的 Let's see what we do.
利用一系列高速摄影机 Using a battery of high-speed cameras,
每秒捕捉画面40000帧 some capturing images at 40,000 frames per second,
舒尔茨研究速度和质量如何共同作用 Schultz investigates how speed and mass can
产生毁灭性的能量 combine to create devastating force.
5.53公里 5.53 kilometers.
以15倍音速移动 Moving 15 times the speed of sound,
发射物猛烈撞进坚固的石块 the projectile slams into the solid stone block.
哦 天哪 Oh, my gosh!
看看这个 Look at this thing.
打得粉碎 Blasted to smithereens.
远古外星人学者相信 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the
这枪的毁灭能量表现得 destructive power of this gun
与雷神之锤惊人的相似 displays uncanny similarities to Thor's hammer.
我们不得不问自己一个问题 The question we have to ask ourselves is whether
关于高动能武器的理念是全新的事物 whether the whole concept of kinetic energy weapons is something new
还是在遥远的过去就已存在 or if it already existed in the ancient past.
关于雷神之锤 我们有这样一个参照物 And with Thor, we have such a reference.
如果说雷神之锤是某种高动能武器 What if Thor's hammer was some type of a kinetic energy weapon
那么如今我们现在所有的 and what we have here in modern times
只不过是在重演历史？ is nothing else but history repeating itself?
是否可能古维京人的神话所描述的 Is it possible that what the ancient Vikings
实际上是外星科技？ described in their myths were in fact alien technologies?
各种各样关于奥丁之枪和雷神之锤的记录 And do the various accounts of Odin's spear and Thor's hammer
是否真的有助于证明维京人 really help to prove that Vikings were
曾和外星人有过联系？ in contact with extraterrestrial beings?
若是如此 那么这些东西都去了哪里？ If so, then where might these beings have gone?
远古外星人理论家认为答案也许藏在 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers may lie in
维京人奇怪而又夹杂暴力的葬礼仪式上 the strange and sometimes violent burial rituals of the Vikings.
挪威 滕斯贝格 Tonsberg, Norway.
奥斯陆以南50英里处 50 miles south of Oslo
坐落着维京墓群奥斯贝霍根遗迹 lie the ruins of Oseberghaugen, a Viking burial mound.
在1904年挖掘期间 考古学家挖出了 During excavations in 1904, archaeologists unearthed the
两具葬在维京长船中的遗体 remains of two people buried inside a Viking long-ship.
死者死于9世纪初 Dated to the early ninth century,
那是有关古维京人葬礼仪式的 the discovery revealed for the first time some of the
最初发现 Vikings' ancient burial rituals.
关于奥塞贝格船有趣的是 What's very interesting about the Oseberg ship
事实上维京人选择 is the fact that the Vikings actually chose to bury
将死者葬于这些船中 their dead in these boats.
这与某些运送方式非常相似 Now, this seems very similar to some type of a conveyance,
可能是运向太空的 possibly going into space.
你可以在其它的文化中看到相似的文献 You see similar references in other cultures,
比如古埃及和中国 such as the Egyptians and even the Chinese.
遍及斯堪的纳维亚 不列颠岛和冰岛 Throughout Scandinavia, the British Isles
有着着类似的维京人墓葬点 and Iceland are similar Viking burial sites,
大多含有船和其它船形标记 many containing boats and other ship-like markers.
是否可能维京人像古埃及人和中国人那样 Is it possible the Vikings, like the ancient Egyptians and Chinese,
将死者葬入船中 buried their dead in boats in an effort to
试图帮助死者踏上来生的旅程 help their deceased on their journey to the afterlife?
若真如此 为什么 And if so, why?
根据古老的挪威神话 According to ancient Norse mythologies,
被杀死的维京勇士会加入 slain Viking warriors joined
传说中的奥丁殿堂--瓦尔哈拉 Odin in his fabled hall, Valhalla.
奥丁圣殿位于神之领域——亚斯格特 Odin's hall in Asgard, the realm of the gods,
它因瓦尔哈拉而闻名 is known as Valhalla,
它的字面意思即“战死者的殿堂” which literally means "the hall of the slain."
瓦尔哈拉自身被描述为这样一个地方 The way that Valhalla itself is described is that it's a place
奥丁从战场上召回死亡战士 where the dead warriors that Odin has gathered from the battlefields
他们成天彼此战斗杀戮 spend all day fighting each other and killing each other
他使他们重生 and then are brought back to life
在瓦尔哈拉将夜晚 to spend the night
挥霍在尽情享用无尽的酒肉中 in feasting on an endless supply of meat and pork.
挪威探险家和勇士们的勇气 The courage of the Norse explorers and warriors was
与他们的神话结构直接相关 directly related to the structure of their fables.
瓦尔哈拉是最大的奖赏 Valhalla was this great reward.
如果你表现出巨大的勇气 If you served well with great bravery, you found eternal life
你将在盛宴殿堂中与勇士英灵一起得到永生 in the company of kindred spirits in a great banquet hall.
关于奥丁圣殿的故事和传说 Stories and legends about Odin's enormous palace
将它描述为一座金属般的、有着闪闪发光的墙 describe it as being almost metallic, with shimmering walls
和金色屋顶的宫殿 and a golden roof.
白天 当他们围坐在长桌边吃喝的时候 During the day they drink and they eat along
有火焰降落到圣殿中央 these long tables and with fires down the center of the hall.
当他们吃饱喝足 清理过桌子 他们互相对战 And then after they've eaten, they clear the tables and they all battle.
想象一下这座宫殿的大小 So this must be tens of thousands,
它即使不足数十万 if not hundreds of thousands...
也必定达到数万平方 你会吃惊于它的庞大 the imagination boggles at how big this hall must be.
但是 是否存在证据能证明瓦尔哈拉 But is there evidence that Valhalla was more
并非只是传说中的地方？ than just a mythic place?
是否像某些远古外星人理论家所认为的那样 Could it have been an extraterrestrial spacecraft,
那其实是一艘外星飞船？ as some ancient astronaut theorists believe?
瓦尔哈拉不是我们先祖的臆想 Valhalla was not a figment of our ancestors' imagination,
它有可能是 but it might have been
某种类型的轨道空间站 some type of an orbiting space station.
我这样说的原因是 The reason why I'm saying this is because
每当出现有关瓦尔哈拉的描述时 whenever we have a description of Valhalla,
它总是不可思议的被描述为一个 it is an incredible description of a place
带有奇怪属性的地方 that has weird attributes.
各种关于瓦尔哈拉的描述都指向 Various descriptions of Valhalla give it the reference of
某种巨大的金属船 being some type of a large metallic ship,
他们也确实 but they actually
将死者葬在船上 bury their dead in the ships as well.
这是否是某种类型的借鉴 So is this some type of reference of
他们确实在试图模仿他们的神 them actually trying to replicate sending their dead to the heavens or
可以乘坐某种巨大的金属船返回天上的行为 just like their gods would be returning to the heavens
试图将死者送往天堂？ in some type of a large metallic ship?
考古学证据及那个时代的报道都显示 Archaeological evidence as well as contemporary accounts also indicate,
除了将死者葬在船上外 that in addition to burying their dead in boats,
挪威维京人也将丧葬船驶出海并 the Norse Vikings also sent many of these
烧毁它们 burial boats out to sea and burned them.
但是 为什么 But why?
那只是炽热的敬意 Was it simply a fiery tribute,
一种向死者致敬的方式？ one meant to honor the deceased?
还是说古维京人只是在模仿 Or did the ancient Vikings simply replicate
他们先祖曾目睹的事情—— something their ancestors had once witnessed...
例如外星人飞船的发射？ perhaps the launch of an alien spacecraft?
我的问题是 So my question is
是否我们先祖目睹了 whether or not our ancestors witnessed
火箭或是飞船升空和降落伴随着 rockets or spaceships taking off and landing with all
火焰、浓烟和大地的震动 of this fire and this smoke and the earth trembling,
随着时间的流逝他们认为通过火葬死者 that they over time thought that by burning their dead
可以模仿过去曾看到过的情形 they would imitate what they saw in the past.
北欧维京人是否真的与 Were the Norse Vikings really
外星人有过联系？ in contact with extraterrestrial beings?
古维京人是否把这些外星访客 And were these beings thought of by the early Vikings not as
误当做了神？ alien visitors but as gods?
若真如此 这些天外访客去哪了？ If so, then where might these celestial visitors have gone?
我们知道在十世纪时 What we know is that in the tenth century,
挪威人开始大范围的探索欧洲大陆 the Norse begin a really extensive exploration of Europe.
我们不知道他们为什么这样做 We don't know why they begin to explore.
很显然 我们不知道 It is also clear that we don't
他们是否得到了其它人的帮助 know whether they were helped by other beings.
事实上 存在另一种理论认为 In fact, there is another theory which suggests that
他们计划去寻找神明 they were going to go in search of the deities.
这个理论认为维京人完全相信 It suggests that the Vikings were absolutely convinced that
神的居所真实的存在于地球某处 the residence of the deities was physical, somewhere on planet Earth.
是否挪威神重返他们的故乡 Did the Norse gods return to their homeland,
促使维京人游遍全球去研究他们？ prompting the Vikings to travel the Earth in search of them?
还是说那些所谓的神只是 Or did the so-called gods simply
启发人类努力探索地球 inspire their earthly hosts to explore the planet
将地外文明的影响 in an effort to spread their extraterrestrial
传播到地球的其他地区？ influence to other parts of the globe?
所有这些从挪威神话中得到的宇宙知识 All this knowledge of the universe according to the
都是那些闪光的人授予他们的 Norse mythologies was given to them by the shining ones.
据说闪光的人来自 And the shining ones were said to have descended from nowhere else
天上 but the sky.
所以 是否有可能外星人 So is it possible that extraterrestrials in fact
引导了我们的历史事件？ guided events in our human history?
答案必然是肯定的 And the answer of course is yes.
因为我们可以在世界各地找到这样的故事 Because we can find stories like this all around the world.
外星人有意识的引导了我们的历史发展 It was very deliberate in order to direct our history.
索尔的毁灭之锤、奥丁的全视角宝座 Thor's destructive hammer, Odin's all-seeing throne
连接地球与天堂的神秘之桥 and a mystical bridge linking Earth to the heavens.
是否维京神的传说真的证明了 Are the legends of the Viking gods really evidence that
外星人曾在在遥远的过去拜访过人类？ alien beings visited mankind in the distant past?
若真如此 这些人是否对于探索 And if so, might these beings have been instrumental in the
地球给予了挪威人帮助？ efforts of the Norse to explore the globe?
或许我们会发现 答案深埋在维京人墓群中 Perhaps we will find the answer deep in a Viking burial mound
或雕刻在远古年代石头的表面 or carved on the surface of an ancient stone.
或许当他们返回地球那天 Or possibly the truth will be revealed to all mankind
真相将大白于天下 on the day when they return.
