NARRATOR: and swarms of locusts targeting humans.
大群的蝗虫瞄定人类

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,940
It's almost as if the locusts
themselves were programmed.
好像蝗虫被一道程序管控

7
00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:30,120
NARRATOR: In cultures throughout the world, insects have been
worshipped, feared, and even thought of as gods.
在世界的历史中，昆虫被人类膜拜、畏惧，甚至被视为神

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:38,690

DAVID CHILDRESS: The idea that insect aliens are coming here to this planet,
昆虫外星人来到这颗行星与人类互动的说法

10
00:00:43,930 --> 00:00:48,970
interacting with humans, may well be based on something real.
可能建立于一些真实的事件

11
00:00:49,770 --> 00:00:56,010
NARRATOR: Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings.
世界上数百万人相信，我们在古代被外星人造访

12
00:00:57,310 --> 00:01:05,980
What if it were true? Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?
如果是真的会怎样？外星人真的帮助塑造了人类的历史？

13
00:01:05,990 --> 00:01:11,160
And if so is there a connection between aliens and insects?
如果这样，外星人与昆虫之间必然有着某种联系

15
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:56,100
NARRATOR: The Nile Delta, Egypt. A small,  centimeters-wide trail is cut in the desert floor by the rolling cocoon of a dung beetle.
埃及尼罗河三角洲。很小的有数厘米宽的甲虫卵囊弯弯曲曲地划开了沙漠地面

16
00:01:57,100 --> 00:02:01,440
This strange-looking two-inch long insect,
这个相貌奇怪的二英吋长的昆虫

17
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:09,050
also called a scarab, uses the dung as both a source of nourishment and a place for storing its eggs.
叫圣甲虫，以粪为食，也把卵产在其中

18
00:02:09,050 --> 00:02:12,950
It will roll the ball in a straight line despite all obstacles,
尽管有障碍，但它还是把粪直线推成球状

00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:20,680
and is the only insect on Earth known to navigate by following the light of the Milky Way galaxy.
这是地球上惟一的被银河系的光驾驭的昆虫

20
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:26,570
Biologists just made this discovery in 2013...
生物学家2013年发现了这个秘密

21
00:02:27,070 --> 00:02:34,270
but 5,000 years ago, with presumably no knowledge of its unique connection to the stars,
但在5000年前，人们可能根本不知道这个秘密，它独一无二地关系着星辰

22
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:41,480
the ancient Egyptians held the scarab as a sacred symbol, representing a link to the gods.
古代埃及人把圣甲虫当作神圣的符号—与诸神的连接

23

24
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:50,810
JONATHAN YOUNG: Interesting that a great civilization could pay so much attention to a little bug,
感兴趣的是，伟大的文明却对如此渺小的虫类如此的关注

25
00:02:50,810 --> 00:02:56,600
but it appears constantly throughout Egyptian temples and hieroglyphics.It's a very frequent image.
这个常见的形象在埃及庙宇和象形文字中一再出现

26
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:56,770


27
00:02:58,770 --> 00:03:06,340
NARRATOR: At the Temple of Karnak, overlooking the Sacred Lake where the pharaohs received their coronation,
在卡纳克神庙中，远眺圣湖，法老接受他的加冕

28
00:03:06,340 --> 00:03:12,650
a giant scarab beetle stands watch, representing the Egyptian god Khepri.
一个巨大的圣甲虫在站着观望，它代表了埃及的神凯布利

29
00:03:12,650 --> 00:03:18,570
KRITSKY: The Egyptians saw the Sun moving across the sky during the day.
埃及人白天看着太阳划过天空

30
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:23,410
Also, around the desert sands, you'd see beetles moving balls of dung.
同样也看着沙漠的沙，圣甲虫正在造粪球

31
00:03:23,410 --> 00:03:33,250
And so the Egyptians thought that the force that moved the Sun across the sky was a giant scarab beetle god, Khepri.
埃及人认为太阳移动的力量源于他们巨大的圣甲虫神—凯布利

32
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:43,140
GRAHAM PHILLIPS: They believe that the Sun was what is known as the eye of Ra, which was Ra's chariot or his flying machine.
他们相信太阳是RA之眼，也是RA的战车或飞行的机器

33
00:03:43,150 --> 00:03:53,550
And the thing that moved it, they believed, was the scarab- headed god, Khepri, and the scarab represented Khepri,
那个让太阳移动的东西，就是他们长着圣甲虫脑袋的神凯布利，圣甲虫就是凯布利

34
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,030
the pilot, if you like, of Ra's Sun ship or barge.
如果你喜欢，可以称他为RA的太阳船或太阳艇的飞行员

35
00:03:57,130 --> 00:03:59,560
He was basically a pilot to the gods.
他本来就是通往诸神的飞行者

36
00:04:01,670 --> 00:04:09,300
NARRATOR: But could there be another explanation for why the Egyptians regarded Khepri as a pilot?
为什么埃及人把凯布利当成飞行员，还有别的解释么？

37
00:04:09,310 --> 00:04:15,460
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the representation of Khepri as a scarab
远古外星人理论学者认为，把圣甲虫当作凯布利的代表

38
00:04:15,460 --> 00:04:18,250
and sometimes as a human with a scarab head...
有时也是虫头人身

39
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:26,000
may have been inspired by actual contact the Egyptians had with an otherworldly being.
这种想法可能受到切实接触他世界存有的启发

40
00:04:29,260 --> 00:04:35,480
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: One has to wonder whether or not these beings actually existed,
有一点需要说明，这些存有是否真实存在过？

41
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:45,030
because the ancient Egyptians were incredibly proud in carving their history into countless of walls.
因为古埃及人非常非常骄傲于把他们的历史雕刻在数不清的墙面上

42
00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:54,330
And according to the ancient astronaut theory, we all came about through a deliberate mutation of our genes.
按照远古外星人理论，我们来源于有意的基因突变

43
00:04:54,330 --> 00:04:57,220
And so it is entirely possible, in my opinion,
在我看来，这完全有可能

44
00:04:57,220 --> 00:05:06,010
that some of those creatures that we see depicted in reliefs and in carvings might have actually exted in the past.
有一些浮雕中或雕刻品中的动物可能在过去确实存在过

45
00:05:08,010 --> 00:05:16,210
NARRATOR: Is it possible the ancient Egyptians could have encountered alien beings that had an insect-like appearance?
有没有可能，古埃及人遇到了外观象昆虫的外星存有？

46
00:05:17,810 --> 00:05:21,210
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes...
远古外星人理论学者认为是的

47
00:05:23,010 --> 00:05:32,750
and as further evidence, point to the fact that the Egyptians' obsession with the scarab also extended to their funerary rituals.
更多的证据，指向了埃及人对圣甲虫的迷恋，甚至扩展到了他们的葬礼中

48
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:43,760

Archaeologist Howard Carter discovers the tomb of King Tutankhamen.
考古学家Howard Carter发现了图坦卡蒙王的墓穴

50
00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:57,060
Among the treasure trove of artifacts found inside is the young pharaoh's breastplate,
在这些史前器物无主的珍宝中，这位年轻法老的护胸甲

51
00:05:57,060 --> 00:06:00,450
which features a scarab as the centerpiece.
把圣甲虫当作了它的中心饰品

52
00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:06,170
The scarab is made of a yellow silica glass stone procured from the Sahara,
圣甲虫用产于撒哈拉沙漠的黄色石英玻璃石制成

53
00:06:06,570 --> 00:06:13,530
originally formed 28 million years ago when the sand was superheated by a comet strike.
生成于2.8亿年前，那里沙子由于彗星的撞击灼热融化

54
00:06:15,530 --> 00:06:19,640
But why would the ancient Egyptians place a scarab...
但为什么古埃及人会把这个圣甲虫

55
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:27,000
and one sculpted from material produced by a cosmic event... at the center of their pharaoh's funerary breastplate?
和一个用宇宙事故材料做成的圣甲虫做在他们法老陪葬品护胸甲的中心位置？

56
00:06:28,850 --> 00:06:33,980
Curiously, scarabs always played an integral role in the Egyptians' mummification process,
非常好奇的是，圣甲虫在埃及木乃伊制作过程中永远扮演着一个完整的角色

57
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:38,600
often included during the wrapping of the body.
通常包括在尸身的包裹过程中

58
00:06:38,610 --> 00:06:44,390
SABINA MAGLIOCCO: In between those wrappings, the Egyptians put a number of charms,
在包裹过程中，埃及人会把一系列的护身符置入其中

59
00:06:44,390 --> 00:06:48,360
which served not just a preservation function, but a magical function.
它不仅有保存功能，还有着神奇魔法功能

60
00:06:49,370 --> 00:06:53,500
KRITSKY: There was a heart scarab, which was placed on the body.
有一个圣甲虫放在了身体上

61
00:06:53,500 --> 00:06:57,510
We also find other scarabs, sometimes knitted into the linen of the deceased.
我们也发现过其他圣甲虫，有时被编织进死者的亚麻布上

62
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:02,080
The scarab was thought to be critical for the resurrection,
圣甲虫被视作复活之匙

63
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:08,080
because of its power and necessity for it to be present when the Sun rose in the morning.
在太阳升起时，它有力量和必要性

64
00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:18,650
BARA: The idea was, is that the soul or even the body of the person that had departed was carried by scarab beetles along the path to the next life,
他们这样想，灵魂或者一个人体离去后，会被圣甲虫护送到下一次生命的旅途上

65
00:07:18,890 --> 00:07:20,190
to the next dimension.
到达另一个次元

66
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,930
It's almost as if the scarab beetle was some kind of device,
圣甲虫好像成了某类装置

67
00:07:22,930 --> 00:07:28,110
not an insect, but a device that actually allows travel from one place to another.
而不是虫子了，但这个装置可以完成从一地到另一地的旅程

68
00:07:28,940 --> 00:07:37,380
WILLIAM HENRY: Where did the Egyptians get the idea of resurrection and this idea that we could be reborn as star beings?
埃及人什么时候产生了复活的想法，以及我们可以再生为宇宙人？

69
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:42,670
It seems as if they were given this idea by Khepri.
看起来好像是凯布利给他们传授的

70
00:07:44,670 --> 00:07:55,020
NARRATOR: Could the inclusion of scarab-shaped objects in the mummification process have been inspired by an actual encounter with the scarab god Khepri?
在木乃伊化过程中昆虫形的物体，真的是他们遇到圣甲虫神凯布利后受到的启发么？

71
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,400
To some ancient astronaut theorists,
对一些远古外星人理论学者来说

72
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:07,100
it's not just the presence of scarabs that suggests the Egyptians made a connection between insects and the afterlife...
不仅是圣甲虫的出现使埃及人产生了昆虫与人类下一世的连接

73
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:15,080
they say the mummification process also mimics insect metamorphosis itself.
他们还认为木乃伊化过程中同样也是模仿虫子变异的过程

74
00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:19,250
BARA: The similarities between mummification
木乃伊化和昆虫作茧有着相似之处

75
00:08:19,260 --> 00:08:25,830
and the cocooning process that a caterpillar goes through before it becomes a moth are really quite incredible.
毛虫在变成蛾子前需要经历这一关，它是非常惊人的

76
00:08:25,830 --> 00:08:33,100
I think what the Egyptians were trying to do is actually cocoon the human being so that when he emerged into the next life at the next level up,
我认为埃及人想做的是把人体做成茧的样子，在下一个层面出现在他的下一世中

77
00:08:33,110 --> 00:08:39,000
he would be transformed into something greater, more powerful, and epically more beautiful.
他会变得更加强悍有力，特别美丽

78
00:08:41,230 --> 00:08:46,900
DAVID WILCOCK: This does mimic, in nature, what we would see with a pupa or a chrysalis,
这确实是模仿，从本质来说，我们是如何看待蛹或蝶蛹的

79
00:08:46,900 --> 00:08:52,690
in which the caterpillar actually creates a hard outer shell around itself,
虫子在其中需要制作一个非常坚硬的外壳包裹着它

80
00:08:52,690 --> 00:09:02,200
and the material of the caterpillar's body actually turns into a broth before it reconstitutes into what ultimately emerges as a butterfly.
毛虫身体在重组后化蝶前真的变成了肉汤

81
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:11,870
NARRATOR: While most people associate metamorphosis with a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly...
当很多人看到毛虫变蝴蝶、变圣甲虫时

82
00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:17,260
beetles, like the scarab, undergo a complete metamorphosis as well.
肯定也会想到它们要忍受完全的变异过程

83
00:09:17,260 --> 00:09:24,320
The hatched larva inside the ball of dung emerges fully developed and capable of flight.
在粪球中孵化出充分发育并能够飞行的幼体

84
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:32,030
To the ancient Egyptians, it seemed the sacred scarab had miraculously regenerated inside its cocoon.
对古埃及人来说，看起来好像圣甲虫在它的茧中有着奇异的再生能力

85
00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:41,500
PHILLIPS: The actual scarab beetle in ancient Egyptian was called something that means "he that comes from nowhere."
实际圣甲虫在古代埃及时被称作是“无从来处”的东西

86
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,290
Which is basically what the name Khepri means.
这也是凯布利名字的意义

87
00:09:44,290 --> 00:09:47,130
"He comes from nowhere. He can make himself exist."
他来自于无，他使自己存在

88
00:09:48,730 --> 00:09:53,510
NARRATOR: Much like the scarab emerging from its cocoon,
有很多象圣甲虫一样从茧中孵化出的生物

89
00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:01,060
the Egyptians believed a mummified body could rise from its sarcophagus as a transformed being, and live once again.
埃及人相信木乃伊身体得到转化后会从石棺上升起后再生

90
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,540
MAGLIOCCO: Part of the soul was inexorably attached to the body,
有一部分灵体会无情地附于尸体上

91
00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:09,460
so in order for that part of the soul to live on in the afterlife,
因此为了它能够生活在下一生

92
00:10:09,570 --> 00:10:15,000
the body had to be preserved as closely as possible to the way that it had existed in life.
身体需要尽可能地紧密保藏起来，让它能够在一下世继续生活

93
00:10:16,270 --> 00:10:23,280
KRITSKY: The idea of the Egyptian soul is so alien from our own that it's-it's difficult to put parallels on.
埃及灵魂学说与现代学说如此相关，我们很难把二者平行起来

94
00:10:23,290 --> 00:10:28,000
For example, the Egyptians concept of the soul had five parts... the Ba and the Ka are two in particular.
比如，埃及的灵魂概念分为五个部分，Ba和Ka是二个主要部分

95
00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:35,670
And part of their mythology was that the Ba must return to the body, enter the body, so that the body can rise and live again.
一部分神话说Ba必须回到人体，进入到体内，因此身体可以升起复活

96
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:50,440
DAVID CHILDRESS: It's possible that the mummification process was some kind of replication of this process that the extraterrestrials went through.
有可能木乃伊化过程就是某种外星人经历过程的复制

97
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:58,360
And even the possibility that the mummies themselves were going into some kind of larval stage
甚至有可能木乃伊们自己也要穿越幼虫阶段

98
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:05,750
and suspended animation where they would emerge eventually into some kind of new body like the extraterrestrials did.
假死，他们会出现在一些新的身体内，就像外星人所做的

99
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:11,130
NARRATOR: While the scarab dominates Egyptian symbolism,
当圣甲虫在埃及成为象征时

100
00:11:11,130 --> 00:11:15,280
another beetle common to this part of the world, the buprestid beetle,
另一个甲虫—吉丁虫也被人类熟悉

101
00:11:15,380 --> 00:11:19,270
has a direct tie to the Egyptians most important god...Osiris.
它与埃及最重要的神奥西里斯有着直接的关系

102
00:11:20,470 --> 00:11:22,600
KRITSKY: Buprestid beetles,
吉丁虫

103
00:11:22,610 --> 00:11:26,310
when bothered by a predator, actually tuck their legs up and lie perfectly still.
当被捕食者追踪时，会抱着它们的腿一动不动

104
00:11:26,310 --> 00:11:31,480
And the way they hold their limbs is very similar to the way Osiris would be represented in some tomb paintings.
四肢的样子非常像一些古墓壁画上奥西里斯的样子
【觉醒字幕组】远古外星人第6季：外星人和昆虫视频翻译

105
00:11:32,350 --> 00:11:40,150
Well, it turns out the buprestid beetle is found in the tamarisk wood, and that is the wood that comes from a tree that was part of the Osiris legend.
原来柽柳中发现的是吉丁虫。这种木头来自于奥西里斯传说中的一颗树木

106
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,120
Actually becomes the Djed pillar.
最终演化为节德柱

107
00:11:43,130 --> 00:11:49,200
And when, uh, Isis split this pillar, she found Osiris inside,
当伊西斯劈开这棵柱子，她发现了奥西里斯

108
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,500
and this beautiful beetle inside,
里面还有吉丁虫

109
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:58,000
and so it's quite possible that this beetle may have a relationship to the mummification process.
因此非常有可能甲虫与木乃伊化过程有关

110
00:12:01,290 --> 00:12:09,430
NARRATOR: But does the Ancient Egyptian worship of a beetle really suggest an encounter with insect-like extraterrestrials?
但古埃及人崇拜甲虫是不是真的遇到过甲虫状的外星人？

111
00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:15,920
Could they be mimicking misunderstood technology? Or might there be another explanation?
他们是在模仿被误解的技术？还是有另一种解释？

112
00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:25,400
Perhaps further clues can be found in the numerous ancient stories of Ant People.
可能我们在大量的古代蚁人故事中会发现更多的线索

113
00:12:30,130 --> 00:12:35,670
NARRATOR: Cambridge University, England. 2013.
2013年 英格兰 剑桥大学

114
00:12:37,070 --> 00:12:40,930
Using a high-speed camera with intense magnification,
用高速照相技术会大倍率地放大被照物

115
00:12:40,930 --> 00:12:48,130
scientists from the department of zoology record the movement of a plant-hopping insect called Issus.
动物学系的科学家们记录了寄居植物内的昆虫—伊苏斯的活动

116
00:12:48,140 --> 00:12:54,770
Examining the footage, they make a shocking discovery.
观察这些连续的镜头，他们发现的结果令人震惊

117
00:12:54,780 --> 00:12:59,110
The movement of the Issus is powered by mechanical gears.
它的运动通过机械传动强健有力

118
00:12:59,110 --> 00:13:05,750

非常独立而奇怪的案例

236
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:30,710

along with the ancient San story of a praying mantis god, be evidence that an otherworldly race of insectoids really does exist?
还有古代SAN人的螳螂神的故事，能否成为他世界昆虫族类真正存在的证据？

271
00:29:59,140 --> 00:30:07,600
And, if so, could they be conducting genetic experiments with humans to make us more like them?

你可能会怀疑如果J-Rod真是类昆虫的人类，来自我们的未来

371
00:40:10,540 --> 00:40:18,210
NARRATOR: Could the accounts of J-Rod confirm that the Hopi stories of Ant People were more than just mythology?

但如果人类有一天被迫因为毁灭性事件而住在地下

379
00:40:54,780 --> 00:41:03,260
does it even make scientific sense that we would evolve to have insect-like characteristics?

380
00:41:03,260 --> 00:41:08,850
According to some scientists,we are part insect already.
按照一些科学家的说法，我们已经是昆虫的一部分了

381

Odds are, we do have some of these insect genes in our system.
奇怪的是，我们确实拥有一些这类昆虫的基因

388
00:41:52,790 --> 00:41:57,630
We know some of these transposon probably came from diseases caught when our ancestors were bitten by insects.
要知道，我们的祖先被这些昆虫咬过后，一些转位子可能就源于这种疾病

389
00:42:00,630 --> 00:42:10,060
NARRATOR: Could the studies on Horizontal Gene Transfer one day prove that we really do have insect DNA in our genetic makeup?
有一天，人们对水平基因转换的研究会证实我们真的在基因组成中拥有昆虫的DNA么？

Throughout history, people have honored and even worshipped insects,
纵观人类历史，人们被尊重甚至崇拜昆虫，为它们建设圣殿

399
