And they had a king by the name of 18 Rabbit. 他们有一个国王叫兔子18
The rabbit, to the ancient Mayans, represented the Moon. 兔子对古玛雅人来说代表着月亮

Every time I perform a Pachacuti ritual, portals are opened, 每次我执行这个帕查库特克仪式，大门都被打开

That helps to unify those of Earth with those from the sky. 它可以帮助我们地球人类与空中存有的融合

And who or what has chosen them to be the ones to communicate with beings from beyond our world? 是谁或者是什么选择了他们成为连接我们与他世界的中介人？
MIRO-QUESADA: I came into this shamanic tradition as a result of deep curiosity as a child. 我承接萨满传统完全是由于孩童时代的强烈的好奇心

Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer may be found in the story of a famous Native American shaman. 远古外星人理论学者认为通过美国当地土著有名的萨满故事可以找到答案
Bighorn Mountain range, Wyoming. 美国怀俄明州的大角羊山脉
Nearly 10,000 feet up, on a desolate peak that is only accessible during the brief summer months, 约有10000英尺高，在荒凉的山峰上只有在简短的夏季才可到达
lies a structure known as the Bighorn Medicine Wheel. 这里有一个建筑，被称作大角药轮
This massive stone circle measures over 75 feet in diameter and contains 28 spokes representing the lunar cycle. 这个巨石圈直径大约有75英尺，包含着28个条辐条，代表着月运周期
By studying the astronomical alignments of the stones, 研究这些石头的天文平面图
researchers were able to date the construction of the site to approximately 1200 A.D. 研究者们可以确定接近公元1200年的建筑的地点
Although it is held sacred by over 60 different Native American tribes, 虽然它被60个不同的美国当地原着民所尊崇
just who built the medicine wheel remains a mystery. 但到底是谁建造的大角药轮我们无从得知
BRIAN BURKHART: So, the Bighorn Medicine Wheel is-is significant to a lot of tribes 因此，大角药轮对很多原着民来说非常重要
because it has this connection to a lot of different traditions in terms of star knowledge and star power and ceremony. 因为按照星系知识、星系能量和典礼仪式，它连接了不同的文化传统
NARRATOR: According to the oral tradition of the Crow tribe, 按照克劳族口传的文化
the 19th century leader Red Plume made a journey to the medicine wheel as a young man that shaped his destiny as a powerful shaman and chief. 19世纪的领导者Red Plume年轻时向大角药轮展开了先进之旅，这注定了他成为一个有能力的萨满和领导者之路
BURKHART: The medicine wheel connect to particular constellations that are kind of like vortexes between certain star energy and certain Earth energy, 药轮连接着类似于漩涡的、位于某些星系能量和地球能量之间的特别的星座
and the medicine wheel seems to be creating some place that marks the particular spot at a particular time where those star energies 药轮看起来创造了一些空间，并在特定时间标志出特别的点
and Earth energies and human energy come together. 使这些星系能量和地球能量以及人类能量共同进入其中
NARRATOR: During what the Crow tribe call his "vision" "quest," Red Plume claimed to have encountered a mysterious race of beings he called "little people." 在克劳人说的他的“视野”与“探索”期间，Red Plume说他遇到了神秘的种族叫“小人”
CHILDRESS: He was visited, he said, by these little men who then took him inside the Earth into some kind of a vortex wormhole. 他说：他被这些小人拜访，把他带入地球内部一些漩涡状的虫洞之中
There, they taught him secrets of medicine. 在那里，他们教导他医药的秘密
BURKHART: There are lots of stories about little people in Native tradition across the Americas. 在遍及美国的原着民传统中，有很多关于小人的故事
The little people come from another planet, and they kind of play around with human beings. 他们来自另一颗行星，他们只是想与人类玩耍
But they're also protectors of them, teaching them even through that playfulness. 但他们同样也是人类的保护者，以开玩笑的方式教导他们
CHILDRESS: Is it possible that this medicine man was actually meeting with extraterrestrials who then taught him some medical secrets 有没有可能药人真的遇到了教导他一些医药秘密的外星人
and then allowed him to return back to his people? 之后让他再回到他的人民中间？
TSOUKALOS: These stories didn't originate in our ancestors' imagination. 这些故事并不起源于我们祖先的想像力
There is a core of truth to all those stories. 所有这些故事都有一个核心
And so, those beings, are they, in reality, of extraterrestrial origin, something physical, flesh and blood? Absolutely. 因此，那些存有真的起源于外星么？是有血有肉的存有？绝对的
Those beings are the progenitors of knowledge. 这些人是充满知识的先觉者
NARRATOR: Could the stories of the Bighorn Medicine Wheel be describing extraterrestrial contact? 大角药轮的故事就是描写的与外星人的接触事件？
Is this where shamans, like Red Plume, acquired wisdom from otherworldly beings? 这就是象Red Plume这样的萨满需要从他世界存在那里获得智慧之所？
In cultures throughout the world, there are stories of shamanic initiation at the hands of so-called spirits. 在全世界各地的文化中，有很多萨满在称为“灵”的存有的帮助下对人们启蒙的故事
Oftentimes, the process is described as dangerous. 时常地，这个过程被描述为充满了危险
In fact, many healers are said to be taken against their will for this instruction. 事实上，很多疗愈者据说是违背心愿的
SABINA MAGLIOCCO: When shamans narrate their life stories, they usually do not say, "Well, I chose to be a shaman." 当萨满讲述他们的生命故事时，通常不说“我选择了成为一名萨满”
The healer does not choose her or his profession. 疗愈者是不能选择他或她的职业的
They are chosen by the spirits. 他们是由灵选择的
DAVID CUMES: The shaman is usually called and there's some sort of wound that the shaman sustains. 萨满常被召唤，有一些他们遭受到的伤害
It can be any bizarre malady: 它可以是任何形式的弊病
being struck by lightning, epileptic fits, a bad accident, 被闪电击中、有癫痫病或者坏的突发事件
anything that wounds the person and enables them to go inward. 任何这样的事伤害到了他，使他进入到内心世界
It's quite a hardship, you know. 你们知道这非常痛苦
It's not something that anybody who really knows about it would readily undertake. 这不是任何人都能理解和愿意承受的事
HUTTON: Once the spirits have got you, you either die or remain permanently sick or become a shaman. 一旦这个灵接近了你，你不是死就是永远得病，或者成为一个萨满
There aren't a lot of ways out. 并没有那么多的出路
You often go mad for a bit, or fall sick for a bit, as the spirits take possession of you. 你们常常会有点儿发狂，或者病态，因为灵界占有了你
And then you go through a... a visionary process in which, 之后你进入到一个幻想的过程
for example, quite often you feel your entire body being taken apart and then put back together again. 比如，你常会感觉到自己身体被分裂，之后再整合到一起
And when you're back together again, you're starting to acquire the abilities to travel through time and space. 当你再次成为一体时，你开始获得穿越时空的能力
NARRATOR: Why would so many of these traditional healers share this belief that they had been chosen and physically changed by spirits? 为什么如此众多的传统疗愈者说出了这个观点—他们被灵界选择并发生了身体的改变？
Some ancient astronaut theorists believe more clues can be found by examining the similarities between these shamanic experiences 一些远古外星人理论学者相信，我们查看一下这些萨满经历以及现代UFO绑架案例
and the stories of modern day UFO abductions. 可以找到更多的线索
HANCOCK: People who believe they've been abducted by aliens will speak of implants being put in their bodies. 那些相信自己曾经被外星人绑架过的人说外星人在他们体内置入了某些东西

Exactly the same experiences are reported in much more traditional cultures, shamanistic cultures. 非常类似于传统文化和萨满文化中被报导过的相同的经历
The construal there is that this is being done by the spirits. 结论是这些都是由那些灵界生命完成的
And the similarity between the two experiences are very, 二种经历非常非常的类似
very, very strong and very, very powerful. 非常非常的强烈与震撼
CHILDRESS: Perhaps what's happening is that you're really in contact with some kind of extraterrestrials. 可能发生的事是你真的与外星人接触了
And in a sense, in these shamanistic states, you're tapping into what we would almost call extraterrestrial powers. 从某些方面来说，在这些萨满状态的人中，他们可能真的接触到了我们所说的外星人
NARRATOR: Is it possible that shamans receive their mysterious powers through alien abductions? 有没有可以萨满通过外星绑架接受到了他们神秘的力量
And might this explain why shamans all over the world claim to have a connection to other realms? 这能不能作为全世界的萨满们说的连接到了他世界的解释？
Perhaps the answers can be found in the strange and powerful visions experienced by shamans in the Amazon. 我们可能在亚马逊河一些萨满们奇怪而充满力量的经历中找到答案
NARRATOR: The Amazon Jungle, Peru. 秘鲁的亚马逊丛林
Stretching from the Andes mountains to the eastern shores of Brazil, 从安第斯山脉延伸到巴西的西海岸
this rain forest is home to more than 80,000 species of plants... many of which shamans 雨林是超过80，000种植物的家园
and religious healers have consumed for thousands of years as a way to access realms they say are inhabited by otherworldly beings. 萨满和宗教巫师们已经数千年来把它们作为接近居住于另一个世界的媒介
MAGLIOCCO: In the Amazon, one of the shaman's jobs... aside from going to the other world and speaking with the spirits... 在亚马逊，萨满的工作除了与另一世界的灵说话之外，还有一个就是
is to find the plants right here on Earth that can heal the people of his tribe. 在地球上发现一些植物，帮助治愈他们民族的病患
And in the Amazonian belief systems, each plant in the jungle has its own spirit. 在亚马逊的信仰体系中，每个丛林中的植物都有它自己的精神
And one of the shaman's gifts is that he can communicate with these plant spirits. 作为萨满的礼物之一就是他能够与这些植物的灵连接
NARRATOR: Originating in the central Andes of South America, 起源于南美洲的安第斯山脉
ayahuasca, meaning "the vine of the souls," is a psychedelic brew consisting of two different types of plants cooked with water. 死藤水的意思是“灵界的葡萄树”是一种吸入式迷幻剂，由二种不同的植物与水混合而成
ROSS HEAVEN: And this is drunk by the shaman in order to enter the spirit world to gain information about diseases, 这是萨满的饮料，他们可以进入灵界获得疾病信息
to foresee the future, um, to carry out a healing for somebody. 预测未来，为某些人带来疗愈
We know some of the history of ayahuasca because archaeologists have found artifacts from the rain forest which date back three and a half thousand or 4,000 years. 我们知道死藤水的一些历史，因为考古学家们从雨林中发现了一些史前器物，可以追溯到3500年或4000年前
But those are only the surviving artifacts that they found. 但这些只是他们发现的用于生存的器物
Potentially, this could go back to the beginning of time. 它可能源于时间之始
NARRATOR: Ayahuasca contains dimethyltryptamine... or DMT...one of the most powerful hallucinogens known to man. 死藤水包括了二甲基色胺或DMT，这是一种人类已知的最具效力的致幻剂
But strangely, this chemical compound only works when consumed under precise conditions. 但很奇怪的是，这个化合物只有在精确的剂量下才会产生作用
CUMES: Ingest DMT, it's inactivated in the intestine by, 提取DMT，在肠道内很不容易被激活
uh, by certain enzymes. 因为它被其中的酶消化掉
So in order to get the DMT to be activated and to be able to be absorbed, they had to combine it with other plants. 为了获得激活的DMT，并让人体吸收，他们需要其他的植物与其混合
HANCOCK: Ayahuasca contains a mixture of two plants. 死藤水是二种植物的混合体
There's actually quite subtle and sophisticated knowledge of plants goes into the preparation, 在准备阶段，这需要非常精准复杂的植物知识
'cause these two things separately will not work. 因为二个分立的东西是不能产生效果的
You have to mix them together and let's not forget that there's 150,000 different species of plants and trees in the Amazon. 你可以把它们混合起来，请不要忘记在亚马逊有150，000种不同的植物和树木种类
It's really quite an amazing achievement of ancient chemistry to bring these two plants together to produce a highly psychoactive visionary brew. 这真是一个古代的化学奇迹，把二种植物混合起来产生了高制幻效果的液体
NARRATOR: But how did ancient people living in the jungles of Peru over 3,000 years ago, 但生活在秘鲁3000年前的古人是如何做到的？
with tens of thousands of plants to choose from, 这里有成千上万不同的植物需要选择
figure out that combining these two particular plants would produce these powerful visions? 并把二种不同特性的植物混合产生充满效力的幻像？
According to the mythology of the Achuar people of the Amazon, 按照亚马逊阿丘雅人的神话
their ancestors didn't discover this on their own, but were guided by extraterrestrial beings. 他们的祖先并不是自己发现的，而是在外星人指导下
HEAVEN: The shamans communicated with their spirits, 萨满们与他们的精神沟通
and were told to go into the jungle and turn two corners, 得知要进入雨林，转二个角
as the myth goes, and then they would find this plant, 随着神话，他们发现了植物
and they brought that back to the village, prepared it in the appropriate way. 他们把它带回了村落，用恰当的方法做了准备
WILCOCK: The oral tradition says that ayahuasca is a linkage to the upper world. 口头传说告诉我们死藤水是连接上界的纽带
And it is entirely possible that they were given this gift by their own gods, which may be extraterrestrials. 这完全有可能他们的神给了他们礼物，这些神是外星人
NARRATOR: If the Achuar story of how their ancestors discovered ayahuasca is true, 如果阿丘雅人说的他们祖先发现了死藤水的故事是真的
could they have been guided not by spirits, but by extraterrestrial beings, 那么他们其实并不是被灵界所指导，而是由外星存有们指导的
beings who communicated with them on another plane of reality? 这些人可以与他们在另一个现实层面进行沟通
Between 1990 and 1995, scientists at the University of New Mexico administered DMT, the active ingredient in ayahuasca, to 60 volunteers 在1990年和1995年期间，新墨西哥大学的科学家们执行了一个DMT实验，对60个志愿者检测死藤水的有效成份
and discovered shocking results. 发现了令人震惊的结果
HENRY: Medical researchers actually administered DMT to patients in a controlled medical setting 医学研究者们在一个可控制的医药环境下，对病患实施了DMT实验
and they had exactly the same experiences as those reported in the jungles of South America and elsewhere who are experiencing ayahuasca. 他们的经历简直一模一样，就像在南北的丛林中传说的和那些体验过死藤水的人一样
HEATHER BERLIN: Ayahuasca users typically experience hallucinations in the visual form, 死藤水使用者特别体验了视觉形式的幻觉
and a lot of them say that they see other beings. 很多人说他们看到了其他的存有
And a lot of them say that they get messages sent to them from these beings. 还有很多人说他们接收到了这些人传递给他们的信息
HANCOCK: In several cases, those intelligent entities said to them roughly the following: 在一些案例中，那些智慧存在对他们讲话，可以粗略地概括为：
"We're so pleased you've discovered this technology. 我们很高兴你们发现了这个技术
Now we can communicate with you more often." 现在我们会你们保持更多的联系
Perhaps what we're dealing with here is intelligent inhabitants of other dimensions. 可能我们这里对待的是其他次元的智慧居民
NARRATOR: Why would so many people report such similar experiences while using ayahuasca? 为什么如此多的人服用了死藤水后都讲述了如此相近的经历
Is it possible DMT provides access to another realm? 有没有可能DMT是接近另一个世界的通道？
HEAVEN: Some shamans believe that plants like ayahuasca have an extraterrestrial origin, 一些萨满相信象死藤水一样的植物有着外星起源
that they drifted here as space spores perhaps and then came to Earth on comets, started growing here. 他们作为太空孢子漂流至此，可能被彗星带到地球并在此生根发芽
And perhaps they even had an agenda. 可能它们也是一个议程的操作结果
Perhaps they are communication from extraterrestrials. 可能他们与外星人保持着连接
NARRATOR: Is it possible extraterrestrials gave the ancients the recipe for this powerful concoction as a way to communicate healing powers with shamans? 有没有可能外星人给了古人一些秘方产生这样强效的混合物，作为一种连接方式，可以让萨满们疗愈人体
And if so, might the very core of mankind's knowledge about medicine have come from an otherworldly source? 如果真是这样，人类医药知识的核心有着外星起源么？

uh, the more toxic or dangerous effects of ingesting these plants. 并记录下了那些有毒和危险的植物
Sometimes he would ingest, of course, poisonous plants and he would suffer poisonings up to 70 times, uh, per day. 有时，他会咽下有毒植物，曾经一天遇到过70次危险
NARRATOR: More than 2,000 years later, 2000年后
Shennong's findings were compiled in The Divine Farmer's Herb-Root Classic, 神农的发现被编辑进《神农本草经》中
a medical journal that became one of the foundations of Chinese medicine. 这部医学经典成为中医的基础
But just how could this mysterious being have tested so many herbs, some even containing deadly poisons? 这些神秘的存有是如何尝出如此众多的草本的，有的还有着致使的剧毒？
CHILDRESS: Shennong was a quite unusual person. 神农相当非凡
It's said that he had a transparent stomach. 据说他有着透明的胃
And he himself, after ingesting these poisons, would look into his own stomach and see how these poisons were interacting with himself. 在咽下这些毒草后，他自己会透视自己的胃，看到这些毒物如何影响他自己的
And then he would take the antidotes for it. 之后他会吃下解药
So you have to wonder if he's not some kind of extraterrestrial. 因此你会想他到底是不是外星人
HENRY: Shennong could, in fact, have been an astral or star being who came to Earth to teach the secrets of healing. 神农事实上是一位外星存有，他来地球的目的是教导人们治病的秘籍
TSOUKALOS: This idea would explain his strange appearance 这个方式可能会解释他的怪异之处
and also his ability to withstand ingesting poisonous plants without ever being harmed. 以及他抗得起有毒植物而丝毫不受影响的能力
NARRATOR: Might Shennong have been an alien visitor? 神农也是一位外星的拜访者么？
One who traveled to Earth in order to educate mankind about medicine and the healing nature of plants? 他前来地球教导人类医药知识，运用自然植物治病
And is this proof that ingesting DMT, a practice that dates back thousands of years, 这也能够作为几千年前吞服DMT的萨满
actually connects shamans with extraterrestrial beings? 能够与外星人沟通的解释么？
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and claim further evidence lies with the supernatural healing rituals of the San Bushmen. 远古外星人理论学者们说是的，进一步的证明可以在圣布须曼人的超自然疗愈典礼中找到
NARRATOR: The Kalahari Desert, South Africa. 南非的喀拉哈里沙漠
Here, the native San Bushmen hold elaborate fireside rituals, 这里当地的圣布须曼人在举行一个复杂的炉边典礼 【觉醒字幕组】外星人和萨满（二）
lasting for hours into the night. 已经持续了数小时，到了晚上
During these ceremonies, their shamans perform what's known as a trance dance, 在典礼期间，他们的萨满会表演迷幻舞
through which they reach an altered state of being and access other dimensions. 他们改变自身存在状态而接近其他次元
HENRY: The trance dance is thought to activate an energy in their body called "n/um." 迷幻舞据说可以激活身体内的n/um能量
And this energy opens a portal of sorts that enables them to travel into the spirit world. 它打开了一个门户，萨满可以进入到精神世界
And when the Bushmen activate this energy, 当布须曼人启动了这个能量
they're able to put their hands in the fire without being burned. 他们可以把火置入火中而不受伤害
They can see vast distances and it's as if in every way, shape and form, 他们可以看到非常遥远的距离，好像在各方面
they're transformed into super powerful beings. 他们变成了拥有超级力量的人
NARRATOR: By accessing the power of n/um energy, 通过接近n/um能量
it is believed that a shaman can extract illness, 人们相信巫师可以把病带走
see the insides of the sick and travel out of their own body to the land of the gods. 看到病灶内部，越出他们的身体进入到神的领土
CUMES: This n/um, it goes up the body and then often it goes out of the crown of the head 这个n/um穿越出人体，通常是人体的顶轮
and that's usually when the out-of-body experience occurs and they travel to the spirit world. 这在出体体验发生时发生，他们进入到精神的国度
I've seen a Bushman put a coal in his mouth and he wasn't burned. 我曾经看到过须尔曼人把一个煤放到口中，但自己并不被烧死
They'll put their heads in the fire, 他们把自己的头也伸进火中
and although their hair might singe and even catch fire, their face won't be burned, 虽然他们的头发会触及到火，但他们的脸不会被烧着
so something is happening with this n/um energy. 因此伴随着这个n/um能量发生了不同寻常的事
They call it boiling energy. 他们称之为沸腾的能量
It's almost like there's a vibrational change in their whole body and probably in their DNA in some way. 看起来好像是他们整个身体的振动改变了，也可能是他们的DNA发生了某种程度的改变
NARRATOR: Could this so-called n/um energy really be inherent in shamans accessed only while in a sort of dream state? 这个叫n/um的能量真的在处于梦幻状态的巫师体内存在着？
And is it possible that the genetic makeup of these medicine men is what allows them to access other dimensions? 有没有可能这些巫师的遗传组成让他们接近了其他次元？
PHILLIPS: The San Bush-people have a tradition that they are the first tribe ever created. 圣布须人有一个传统说他们是这个世界第一个被创造的部落
They're the oldest people in the world. 他们是世界是最古老的人
DNA tests have shown that they probably are. DNA检测说明可能是真的
That all other cultures and all other peoples that spread throughout the world came, 所有散布于世界各地的其他的文明和人类
originally, from where the San people are now. 都起源于这里
WILCOCK: When we look at the San Bushmen and we see the clear genetic evidence that they are the primordial seed of human civilization 当我们观察圣布须曼人时，我们看到了非常明显的遗传证据，他们是人类文明最原始的发源地
and life on Earth it is possible that their DNA is especially well equipped to have this potential to access these non-ordinary states of consciousness which may, 生活在地球上，他们的DNA相当的完备，可以接近不同寻常的意识状态
in fact, be a key to physically journeying into them giving these people the ability to do things that most of us seemingly cannot. 事实上，成为进入肉身旅行的钥匙使这些人有能力做我们一般人做不来的事
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the San Bushmen have special knowledge of how to alter their genetic makeup in order to access other realms? 有没有可能圣布须曼人掌握了特殊的知识，改变基因结构从而接近其他世界？
A knowledge that is shared by shamans around the world? 这个知识正在被萨满们传遍世界？
And might this knowledge or power have been given to them by alien beings? 这个知识或者能力是由外星人传授给他们的么？
Ancient astronaut theorists believe an undeniable connection between shamans and extraterrestrials can be found in cave paintings that date back thousands of years. 远古外星人理论学家们相信，萨满与外星人之间不可否认的联系可以在几千年前的洞穴绘画中找到
The Lascaux Caves, Southwestern France. 法国西南的拉斯科洞窟
Discovered in 1940 near the village of Montignac, 1940年在蒙提涅克附近的村庄中发现了它
this cave complex is covered in Paleolithic paintings dating back more than 17,000 years. 这个洞的设计完全被旧石器时代的绘画覆盖，这可以追溯到17000年前
Anthropologists believe ancient shamans used these subterranean chambers to perform sacred rituals, 人类学家相信古代的萨满运用这些地下内室完成圣典
and curiously, among the many Ice Age animals that are depicted on the walls, 好奇的是，在很多冰河时代的动物也被画到了墙面上
there is a strange creature that has the body of a man and the head of a bird. 有一个动物很奇怪，人身鸟头
HANCOCK: The technical term for such a creature is a therianthrope, 用技术的术语来说这就是兽人
and that's from the Greek "therian," which means wild beast and "anthropos," 来自希腊的“正兽亚纲动物”，就是野兽与人anthropos
which means man. 即人的意思
Clearly these are not things that one encounters in everyday life. 很清楚，这些不是我们每日见到的人
The imagery of cave art is best explained as the experiences that shamans undergo in a deep state of trance. 洞穴艺术的形象化能够很好理解，萨满体验着深度出神状态
When they return from the trance state they then depict, 当他们回来后在墙面上描述出来
on the cave walls, the visions that they have seen in this deeply altered state of consciousness. 他们在深度出神状态中的所见所闻
NARRATOR: The birdman found in Lascaux is reminiscent of one of the Egyptians' most important gods: Thoth. 在洞穴中发现的鸟人让我们想起了埃及最重要的神祇：透特
It is also consistent with the depiction of the Sumerian sky gods, the Anunnaki. 墙面还包含了苏美尔人天空之神阿努纳奇的描述
But is it mere coincidence that these shamans are encountering the same types of beings while in a trance that the world's earliest civilizations depicted as their gods? 但这只是巧合么，这些萨满在出神状态下面对着同一类人，这也是世界最早期的文明描述的他们的神？
WILCOCK: In all of these different indigenous cultures around the world there are remarkable similarities of what types of beings people claim to be meeting when they go out of body. 世界所有这些不同的土著文化都有着惊人的相似性，当人们出体后发现面对着是同一类的人
This suggests that in the dream plane and in the shamanic state, 这就是说在梦的层面和萨满的状态下
there is in fact a real place that we are going, 我们真有地方可去
and real beings that we are encountering when we get there. 到达后真有人可以遇到
TSOUKALOS: This is where the ancient astronaut theory suggests that they were the same teachers... 这就是远古外星人理论学家认为的他们有着同样的老师
the teachers that went to all the ancient cultures and brought them the basics for what we've accomplished today. 这些老师参与到所有古代的文明当中，为他们带来我们今天立世的基础
HANCOCK: There was a big, noticeable change in human behavior around 40,000 years ago, 在40000年期间，人类的行为有一个非常巨大的值得注意的改变
exactly at the time that our ancestors begin to manifest the first amazing, uh, cave art. 特别是在我们老祖先开始制作第一个迷人的洞穴艺术的时候
And what is clear is that it's not a coincidence, 非常明显这并不是什么巧合
moment that the cave art begins, we also witness in the archeological record a radical change in human behavior. 当洞穴艺术伊始，我们可以在考古记录中见证人类行为的巨大改变
NARRATOR: Could the Lascaux cave paintings be proof that Shamans really do communicate with extraterrestrial beings, 拉斯科洞窟绘画是否真是萨满与外星人见面的佐证？
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest? 就像那些远古外星人理论学者所认为的
And if shamans... like those of the San Bushmen... undergo a physiological change in order to make this connection, 如果萨满，比如同那些圣布须曼人一样，经历了肉身的改变从而得以连接外星人
what might that change be? 那么这个改变是什么？
Perhaps the answer can be found inside the human brain. 可能在人类的大脑中我们能够找到答案
NARRATOR: Tepoztln, Mexico. October 2011. 2011年10月 墨西哥的迪波斯特兰

shamans from all over North and South America gather to commemorate the region's long tradition of shamanic healing. 来自南北美洲的萨满们聚集在一起庆祝当地传统的萨满疗愈节
Throughout the three-day celebration, these modern-day medicine men engage in sacred dances, rhythmic chanting,and drumming... 在三天的庆典当中，这些现代的巫师们跳起了圣舞，有节奏地诵持咒语击鼓
all methods that shamans use to connect with other realms. 这是连接另一世界的全部方法
But why? 但为什么？
Do these practices really effect a change within the shamans that allows them to communicate with beings that are otherwise beyond our perception? 这些具的可以影响改变萨满们的内在，让他们走出我们的视野与他世界的人连接？
MAGLIOCCO: In many shamanic traditions, shamans have special tools that allow them to access the spirit world. 在众多萨满传统中，萨满们可以运用特殊的工具让他们接近精神世界
Among the most important of these tools are the shaman's drum, and/or the shaman's rattle. 鼓或者萨满们发出的咯咯声是最重要的工具
These are rhythm instruments that beat out a particular rhythm, 这些是有节奏的器具会发出特殊的韵律
that allow the shaman to enter into trance, and to journey to the world of spirits. 使萨满们进入出神状态，在精神世界遨游
WILCOCK: We see this rapid, very steady rhythm on the drum as being a central tool in shamans being able to open up the doors of the mind, 我们来看，这个急速而平稳的鼓点节奏是萨满们的主要工具，它可以打开人类的大脑
giving voice to the unseen realms of the cosmos. 把他们的声音传达给宇宙中看不见的国度
(people singing)
NARRATOR: Is it merely coincidence that shamans all over the world share the belief that by repeating certain rhythmic movements 世界各地的萨满们不停地重复着有节奏的动作，分享着他们的信仰
and sounds they can communicate with other realms? 听起来好像他们连接着其他的世界，这难道只是个巧合么？
Or might this ancient practice produce a real physiological change in the shamans themselves? 或者这种古代的习作在萨满们身上真的产生了生理性的改变么？
MAGLIOCCO: There's a neurological explanation for this. 神经病理学解释道
One of the ways that we can alter our consciousness is through rhythmic movement. 他们改变自己意识的方式之一就是节律性的运动
So throughout the world you see many traditions in which people communicate with the gods by spinning, by dancing, by doing something rhythmic. 因此在世界范围内，我们看到的很多人神连接的传统方式是旋转、舞蹈或作一些有节奏的事
NARRATOR: At the University of California in San Francisco, 旧金山的加利福尼亚大学
neuroscientist Dr. Adam Gazzaley is performing experiments using 3D gaming technology that actually track how drumming effects the human brain. 神经系统科学家Adam Gazzaley博士正在做一项实验，他运用3D游戏技术追踪鼓声对人类大脑的影响
(rhythmic drumming)
Participants wear virtual reality goggles, and experience both visual and auditory rhythms. 参与者穿上虚拟现实的护目镜，体验着视听节奏
ADAM GAZZALEY: We feel that if we have a participant learn how to entrain with different rhythms through game mechanics, 我们感觉如果参与者学会了通过舞蹈力学如何配合不同的韵律
we can strengthen the rhythms of the brain and lead to better performance, better cognition, better memory, better attention. 我们就可以加大大脑的节奏，发挥更好的性能、认知能力、记忆和注意力
And so we're recording, in real time, what's going on in her brain. 因此我们及时记录下来的她的大脑发生的一切
You can have a rhythm going on that you're listening to, 我们就可以得到在你聆听时的脑波
and your brain has its own natural rhythms. 你的大脑拥有自己的自然节律
The entrainment would be that they become locked in time such that they follow each other. 随之而来的是它们被锁住了，它们彼此跟随
We're sort of at, like, the gateway of this frontier now. 我们好像站在大门的前沿
NARRATOR: Could rhythm and repetition hold the key to discovering untapped potential within the human brain? 韵律和重复是发现人类大脑未开发的潜能的钥匙么?
Might shamans have been aware of this connection for thousands of years? 萨满们在数千年前就知识到了这种连接？
And is the practice of entering a trance state... still used to access this power in other spiritual ceremonies across the world? 这种进入出神状态的练习，在世界范围内诸多灵体仪式中，仍然用来让人们获得这种能力
Pentecostal faith healers incorporate music that mirrors the rhythm of the heart. 圣灵降临节信仰治疗家合并了音乐，它反射着心动节律
Hypnosis is often achieved through the use of a pendulum. 催眠过程会运用到钟摆
(priest speaking indistinctly) 牧师非常模糊地说话
Priests performing exorcisms repeat phrases over and over. 牧师表演驱魔时一遍遍地重复着咒语
(priest shouts indistinctly) 牧师在朦胧地喊叫 【觉醒字幕组】外星人和萨满（二）
Even the Catholic Rosary involves repeating a sequence of prayers counted out on a string of beads to communicate with Almighty God. 甚至在天主教的《玫瑰》经里也有不停重复一系列的祈祷文，数着串珠与万能的上帝连接
HENRY: It seems possible that the shamans must have understood something about the brain that we're only rediscovering today... 看起来有可能萨满们早就理解大脑的知识，而我们至今仍待发现
and how the drum in particular can effect the brain. 尤其是鼓声可以影响到大脑
ERICH VON DANIKEN: It's the brain who works different with the shamans than with normal people. 普通人的大脑与萨满们的大脑有着不同的运作方式
I always suggested... look at our brain like a gigantic hole with big machines in there. 我永远都会说，看一下我们的大脑，它像一个巨大的洞，里面有着巨大的机器在运作
Some of the machines are running, and others are dead. 有一些机器在运转，有一些已经废弃了
Now with the shamans, some of the machines are running which, 现在萨满们的一些机器正在运作
in other brains, they are not working. 而其他的大脑则停工了
That makes a difference between the brain of a shaman and the normal, average people. 这就是萨满的大脑与普通人大脑的区别之处
NARRATOR: Have shamans discovered the means to communicating with extraterrestrials within the human brain? 萨满们发现了在大脑内连接外星人的方法了？
And does this suggest that similar powers might exist within all of humanity... powers that we have yet to fully realize? 这是不是在说所有人类都可以拥有这种能力，只是我们现在还没有完全意识到
McGOWAN: As we settle into the 21st century, our craving to be connected with what we used to know, what we can know again, 当我们适应了21世纪，我们渴望连接我们已知的未知的世界
and how unlimited we are as human beings, is something that we're all seeking. 我们作为人类的到底如何无限，这也是我们所有人在寻找的
And it is through the power of shamanism, it is with the help of these intermediaries, 通过萨满和这些中介者之力
that we can begin to experience this again. 我们可以再度体验
HENRY: The shamans were always bringing advanced knowledge and leading humanity forward. 萨满永远会带来先进的知识，引导着人类向前
They represented healing, and they represented expansion of our consciousness. 他们代表着疗愈和精神扩展
(chanting in native tongue)
CHILDRESS: If these shamans are really in contact with some kind of extraterrestrial gods, 如果这些萨满真的连接着某类外星诸神
then we can see how these E.T.'s have been purposely guiding us throughout our history. 我们可以看到外星人已经有目的地在历史上指导着我们
In many ways they created us. 他们为我们创造了非常多的方式方法
And even today, they are still manipulating and guiding us into the future. 甚至今天，他们仍然在操作指导着我们进入未来
NARRATOR: Did shamans really communicate with otherworldly beings in the distant past? 萨满真的在远古连接着其他世界的存有们？
Is it possible that through these spiritual mediators, 有没有可能通过这些精神的介质
extraterrestrials were able to influence mankind? 外星人在影响着人类？
And might such celestial command continue even today? 有没有可能这些天堂指挥官们在今天仍然继续着他们的工作？
Perhaps one day we will realize that the key to contact with our alien ancestors does not lie in technology that propels us to the stars... 可能有一天，我们知道连接外星祖先之匙，不是通过技术把我们推向星空
but in rediscovering abilities that already exist deep within ourselves. 而是通过重新发现已经存在于我们内在的潜能
