Speaker 23 In 1972, three hikers discovered a hidden room carved into a wall of Chaco Canyon. The New Mexico desert was well over 100 degrees.
Inside the cavern, the temperature was a comfortable 72.

Speaker 23 Artifacts were everywhere, pottery, tools, weapons. Experts dated everything to the 8th century.
Every item except one.

Speaker 23 A compass-like object covered in symbols nobody recognized, made from an alloy that wouldn't exist for another thousand years. Within 48 hours, the National Security Agency seized the site.

Speaker 23 They called it Project Ancient Arrow. The NSA studied the room for months, then sealed it.
21 years later, a cave-in revealed the truth. This wasn't just a room, it was an entrance.

Speaker 23 For 21 years, the Chaco Canyon Chamber remained sealed. The compass artifact was locked in a vault somewhere in Virginia.

Speaker 23 Project Ancient Arrow, like so many classified operations, gathered dust in NSA archives. By May 1994, Project Ancient Arrow was all but forgotten.
But the mountain had other plans.

Speaker 23 A series of rock slides shook the canyon. The mountain seemed to be peeling back layers of itself.
When the dust settled, park rangers found an opening. Not a hole, a doorway.

Speaker 23 Perfectly rectangular with sharp edges and right angles. This wasn't erosion, it was carved.
The cave-in revealed a corridor that disappeared deep inside the mountain. The rangers called it in.

Speaker 23 Project Ancient Arrow was immediately reactivated. The NSA was on site within hours.

Speaker 23 The military cleared the area, and five scientists arrived to take readings and measurements. But these weren't archaeologists.

Speaker 23 They worked for the ACIO, the Advanced Contact Intelligence Organization, a subsection of the NSA. It operated beyond classified, above top secret, and without congressional oversight.

Speaker 23 Most senior NSA officials don't know it exists and those who do don't acknowledge it. The ACIO likes it this way.

Speaker 23 Their specialty was technology that shouldn't exist on Earth, and this corridor was exactly their kind of problem.

Speaker 23 The passage spiraled upward through solid rock, not carved, melted. The walls were polished at the atomic level, covered in glowing symbols that seemed part of the stone itself.

Speaker 23 23 chambers branched off at regular intervals. The spiral formed a perfect double helix, DNA carved in stone.

Speaker 23 Every chamber contained artifacts, paintings using pigments nobody could identify, musical instruments that created frequencies humans couldn't hear, star charts drawn from somewhere else in the galaxy.

Speaker 23 The same symbols from the corridor were in every room. Chamber 23 was different though.
No symbols, no artwork, just one artifact, a small optical disc. It looked like a CD.
Uh, what year was this?

Speaker 23 1994. Uh, probably an AOL disc.
It wasn't an AOL CD. Are you sure? They were everywhere.
It wasn't a CD at all. It just kind of looked like one.

Speaker 23 And scientists still assumed the disc contained digital information, but when they tried to read it, nothing worked. Lasers failed.
Electron microscopes showed only a smooth surface.

Speaker 23 But under certain wavelengths of light, symbols appeared, thousands of them, layered in three-dimensional patterns, the same symbols that covered the walls. The ACIO couldn't decipher it.

Speaker 23 They sent the disc to Virginia for analysis. After almost two years of analyzing the ancient Arrow site, the scientists thought they'd found everything.

Speaker 23 Then X-rays of chamber 23 revealed something else. A trapdoor buried under six inches of debris.
It covered a shaft dropping straight down 150 feet.

Speaker 23 Too narrow for a person, so they lowered cameras instead.

Speaker 23 That reminds me. I gotta schedule a colonoscopy.
Okay, that's enough. What? Everyone over 50 should get one.
Thank you for the PSA. Oh, yeah, that's right, fellas.
Get your PSA check, too, huh?

Speaker 23 I've got one paragraph left. Fine, fine, go ahead.

Speaker 23 Jeez, what a grouch.

Speaker 23 Chamber 24 was massive, three times bigger than any other room. Seven groups of symbols covered the wall in the most complex pattern they'd seen, but there was no way to reach it.

Speaker 23 The project stalled again. Two years later, another discovery would show that Ancient Arrow wasn't ancient at all.
The discovery had nothing to do with the past. It had to do with the future.

Speaker 23 In the summer of 1996, two college students were hiking near Chaco Canyon, 24 years after the first ancient arrow discovery, two years after rock slides had exposed new chambers.

Speaker 23 They spotted something metallic catching sunlight. Not buried, not hidden, just sitting on the ground.
1996, AOL CDs were still still everywhere. It wasn't an AOL CD.
Okay.

Speaker 23 The object was about the size of a shoebox and heavy like lead. Its surface showed a pattern of swirled gold and silver.
That was a three-dimensional map of the exact area where they stood.

Speaker 23 Strange symbols covered every inch of the object. Not carved or etched.
The symbols were part of the metal itself.

Speaker 23 And as the students lifted the object from the sand, both collapsed at exactly the same time, like someone had flipped a switch. They weren't unconscious, they were inside a vision.

Speaker 23 What? Did they eat mushrooms off this thing? No.

Speaker 23 No. They'd lick a frog.
They didn't eat or lick anything. Just touching the box gave them a vision.
But it gave them the same vision.

Speaker 23 A massive chamber system inside a mountain, 23 rooms in a spiral pattern. They could smell cool air and feel feel smooth stone under their feet.
Strange symbols glowed on walls they'd never seen.

Speaker 23 They can hear footsteps echoing. Their own footsteps walking through chambers that existed somewhere else.

Speaker 23 When the vision ended, both students were on their knees in the sand, gasping like they'd been underwater. The experience lasted a few seconds, but to them it felt like hours.

Speaker 23 They then wrapped the artifact carefully. Neither wanted another experience.
Yeah, nothing's worse than a bad trip, am I right? I don't know what you're talking about. Come on, yes, you do.

Speaker 23 Please, please, there are kids watching. Yeah, right, right, right.

Speaker 23 By bad trip, I just mean

Speaker 23 a weekend in Portland. Be nice.

Speaker 23 Anyway, they brought the shoebox artifact to their archaeology professor. But when he touched it, nothing.
No visions, no reaction. Whatever happened to his students didn't happen to him.

Speaker 23 He noted the unusual metal composition and the unknown symbols. He uploaded the findings to academic databases to see if anyone recognized this artifact.
Unfortunately for the professor, somebody did.

Speaker 23 The internet was still new to most people in 1996, but it wasn't new to the NSA or its secret internal division, the ACIO.

Speaker 23 Since Ancient Arrow reopened in 1994, the ACIO had been monitoring public and private networks for certain keywords and images, unidentifiable symbols, unusual metal compositions, reports of induced visions.

Speaker 23 The professor's research triggered every alert.

Speaker 23 Within four hours, federal agents were in his office. They confiscated the artifact and made the professor sign a stack of non-disclosure forms.

Speaker 23 The agents added a few threats about national security, treason, and prison, just to be clear. The object went directly to Dr.

Speaker 23 Jameson Naruta, ACIO's top linguist and technology specialist, the same man who'd been trying to decrypt the optical disc for two years. This artifact would show him what he'd been missing.

Speaker 23 The symbols weren't a language, they were instructions.

Speaker 23 The vision artifact sat on the table in Naruto's lab and did nothing. The two students had experienced vivid hallucinations, identical visions of the ancient arrow chambers.

Speaker 23 But here in ACIO's sterile lab, the artifact was just an unusual metal object covered in symbols. Naruto understood why it didn't work.
Proximity effect.

Speaker 23 The artifact needed to be near the ancient Arrow site. The location was in this world pattern on its surface.
Only about 50 people on the planet know about this location, and he was one of them.

Speaker 23 So one puzzle solved. But Naruto was fascinated by something else.
The symbols on the artifact matched symbols from the chambers. Not exactly, but close, like different dialects of the same language.

Speaker 23 Then it hit him, and he reached for the disc. The optical disc from chamber 23 didn't look like much.
About the size of a CD, but thicker. Not quite glass, not quite crystal.

Speaker 23 When ACIO's standard decryption tools failed, Naruto took over. That was almost two years ago.

Speaker 23 Mathematical sequences, quantum algorithms, even Zemi, ACIO's quantum computer built with alien technology, couldn't crack this thing.

Speaker 23 Zemi made the best supercomputers on Earth look like pocket calculators. Still, nothing.

Speaker 23 What? Alien technology. Yep.
The ACIO had an alliance with an alien race called the Cordium. Their home planet is 15,000 light years away.

Speaker 23 Dr. Naruto was fluent in over 30 languages, plus 12 extinct ones.
He was an expert in data encryption, compression, storage.

Speaker 23 He also possessed genius-level knowledge of mathematics, quantum systems, music, philosophy, biology, and cosmology.

Speaker 23 His IQ had been enhanced through genetic modification, standard procedure for core ACIO scientists. The modifications raised intelligence by 500 points or more, all courtesy of their alien partners.

Speaker 23 Naruta repeated himself, this time out loud. Different dialects of the same language.
The symbols on the artifact weren't random. They formed a sequence.

Speaker 23 When he compared them to the chamber paintings, a pattern emerged. Each painting contained one unique symbol.
The artifact showed him what order to arrange the symbols.

Speaker 23 Naruta input these symbols into Zemi as ancient Sumerian words spoken in sequence from chamber 1 to 23. Then Zemi roared to life.
8,000 pages of data flooded the processors.

Speaker 23 Text, diagrams, star maps, genetic sequences, all with translations in English and 60 other languages. Dr.
Naruto had been with ACIO for 15 years.

Speaker 23 Not only was he aware of alien races on Earth, he spoke five of their languages. He could read four more.

Speaker 23 He thought he'd seen everything. He did not see this coming.

Speaker 23 The creators of the disc called themselves Wingmakers. And the Wingmakers weren't aliens.
They weren't an ancient civilization. They were humans from Earth.

Speaker 23 And they were sending us a warning from 750 years in the future.

Speaker 23 According to the DISC, humanity developed time travel in the 20th century, not for exploration, for survival.

Speaker 23 These future humans were on a timeline where Earth gets invaded by synthetic beings called the Atomis. The Atomis were more than just machines.

Speaker 23 They were an android race with artificial intelligence driven by one obsession to become soul carriers to achieve immortality but they lacked organic nervous systems the very thing needed to carry a soul's higher frequency so they needed our dna not just to reproduce to evolve and they didn't choose earth randomly we're a genetic library our dna carries something rare in the universe a full range of emotions the key to the human soul The atomists wanted our source code, the original blueprint of human genetics.

Speaker 23 And they'd been here before, 300 million years ago and again about 9,000 years ago. Both times they found humans too primitive for their needs.

Speaker 23 But they were scheduled to return in 2011 and this time they'd find us useful. The timeline was specific.
First, infiltration. They'd appear as friends, advanced beings here to help.

Speaker 23 They'd work with the United Nations to bring stability to Earth by creating a global governing body. One world government? Yep.
The group is called the Inconnabula. Another word for Illuminati.
Yep.

Speaker 23 And their plan is to control the world's money supply and natural resources. These would be distributed by the Incanabula, who are android human hybrids.

Speaker 23 Anyone check Claire Schwab for wires?

Speaker 23 They would implement a paperless electronic currency that tracks the spending habits of everyone on Earth.

Speaker 23 This would give the Incanabula insight into individual affairs and allow them to manipulate global events. By 2018, the inconnabula would be running the world.
But this future could be avoided.

Speaker 23 The disk explained how. What we perceive as normal biology is actually a suppressed version of our full genetic potential.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Speaker 23 The wingmakers claimed we can activate 24. And here's why that mattered.
The animus can only harvest from standard human DNA, our current 23 chromosome pairs.

Speaker 23 Humans with 24 activated chromosome pairs would be useless, like incompatible software. Seven sites around the world would trigger this activation.
It could be done simply through meditation.

Speaker 23 As more people meditated, dormant DNA would activate, first two pairs, then four, then 12, eventually all 24.

Speaker 23 And the disk had another solution. Use time travel to stop the animus from ever finding Earth.
So humanity had two defenses, one biological and one technological. Dr.

Speaker 23 Naruto understood the value of both options, but ACIO's leadership was split. Half wanted to use technology, half wanted transformation.

Speaker 23 Naruto was caught in the middle, but he knew he'd have to make a choice. And the choice wasn't just about technology versus consciousness, it was about who decides humanity's future.

Speaker 23 Within ACIO operated an even more secretive unit, the Labyrinth Group. Only about 120 people knew it existed.
Their leader was known only as 15. No one used real names at that level.

Speaker 23 15 had created the Labyrinth Group with one purpose, develop blank slate technology, BST. This is time travel that could alter the past, not just observe it.

Speaker 23 Yeah, finally they can go back and tell Fox not to cancel Firefly. Yeah, I think they'd rather use the technology to avoid the alien invasion.
Sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 23 But while you're back there, I killed two birds, aliens and Fox executives.

Speaker 23 With the help of the Cordion, the Labyrinth Group had been working on time travel since 1963.

Speaker 23 The Cordian provided everything, the quantum computers, the genetic modifications that gave ACIO scientists their enhanced abilities.

Speaker 23 The Cordium also warned about the Atomis threat decades before the disk confirmed it. And the Labyrinth Group had accumulated wealth outside government oversight.

Speaker 23 They had more money than most small nations, all focused on time travel.

Speaker 23 Because if you can travel back and change key events, you could prevent the atomists from ever finding Earth, change the right moment in the past, and the future threat disappears.

Speaker 23 But now the Wingmakers offered a different solution. Evolution through consciousness instead of technology.
Becoming something the Atomists couldn't use instead of erasing them from a timeline.

Speaker 23 Two paths. Both claimed to save humanity.
15 saw them as complementary. use both, develop BST while activating dormant DNA, cover all bases.
Dr. Naruto saw it differently.

Speaker 23 The more he learned about the Wingmakers' philosophy, the more he questioned changing the past. The wingmakers weren't just sharing technology, they were teaching transformation.

Speaker 23 For three years, Naruto had translated the Wingmaker's information. The technical data, the philosophical writings, the warnings.
With each translation, something changed inside him.

Speaker 23 The wingmakers weren't just sharing information, they were selecting their spokesman, him.

Speaker 23 When he reported this belief to his superiors, the response was immediate. Psychiatric evaluation, security review.

Speaker 23 15 decided Naruta's growing belief in consciousness-based evolution could not be allowed to spread through the ACIO. The solution was simple.
Give Naruta an MRP, memory restructure procedure.

Speaker 23 This would erase his memories of the Ancient Arrow project, standard protocol for personnel who became compromised. Naruto had done these procedures himself.
It was routine.

Speaker 23 Colleagues returned to work with gaps in their memories, confused but compliant. Now it was his turn.

Speaker 23 The MRP was scheduled for three weeks later, December 15th, 1997. He marked it on his calendar.
He put his own mind wipe in his calendar.

Speaker 20 Yep.

Speaker 23 Tuesday, dentist, Wednesday, mind wipe, Thursday, yoga. That guy's got ice water in his veins.
He did, but he was not going to let them take his memories. He had three weeks to come up with a plan.

Speaker 23 dr naruda had three weeks before they erased his mind he spent those weeks watching his colleagues differently brilliant minds trapped in a philosophy of control every problem a technological solution.

Speaker 23 Every threat demanded superior firepower. The idea that humanity might transform itself through consciousness, that seemed impossible.

Speaker 23 But consciousness was the one thing the animists couldn't harvest. Synthetic beings needed genetic material, not awareness.
The wingmakers understood this.

Speaker 23 On December 13th, 1997, during a routine shift change, Dr. Jameson Naruto walked out of the ACIO facility.
No elaborate escape plan, no security breach.

Speaker 23 He understood their systems well enough to slip out during a brief surveillance gap.

Speaker 23 By the time they noticed he was gone, he'd already have destroyed his traceable implants and begun searching for someone willing to hear an impossible story.

Speaker 23 Two days later, he made contact with a journalist named Sarah. He had a lot of information to share, and less than 12 hours before the next remote viewing sweep would find him.
Remote viewing sweep?

Speaker 23 Oh yeah. The ACIO had a team of psychics on staff.
Yeah, of course they did. There's so much more to this story, which is why we'll be revisiting it from time to time.

Speaker 23 Anyway, Naruto promised to tell Sarah everything about the ACIO, the Labyrinth Group, the Cordium Alliance, humanity's hidden history and potential future, but most importantly, who the Wingmakers were and what they really wanted.

Speaker 23 They weren't time travelers trying to save humanity from invasion. They were teachers.
The Atomist threat was real, but it served a larger purpose. Crisis forces evolution.

Speaker 23 The approaching danger would push humanity to activate dormant capabilities, not through technology, through higher consciousness. Then humans would be useless to the animus.

Speaker 23 Naruta had 12 hours to convince Sarah, 12 hours to plant the seeds of transformation, 12 hours before the ACIO found him and took his mind.

Speaker 23 Dr. Jameson Naruto was having trouble.
Finding someone to hear his story was harder than escaping. Academics wanted credentials.
Journalists wanted proof. God, journalists demanding proof.

Speaker 23 I remember those days. Journalist Sarah, he never learned her last name, was his fifth to tenth.
When they met in a diner outside Sacramento, he had 12 hours before the next remote viewing sweep.

Speaker 23 He gave five long interviews, enough to expose the ACIO, the Labyrinth Group, the Cordium Alliance. But as Naruta began talking, he realized that conspiracy wasn't the real story.

Speaker 23 The real story was transformation. Naruta explained how the Labyrinth Group approached everything backwards.
They saw consciousness as a problem to overcome with better processors.

Speaker 23 They saw time as something to control rather than understand. The Wingmaker suggested defense wasn't about building bigger weapons or rewriting history.

Speaker 23 It was about becoming unharvestable through higher consciousness. Sarah recorded everything, the technical specifications, the philosophical frameworks, the countdown of 2011.

Speaker 23 But Naruto could see her struggling with the same question everyone asked. Why should anyone believe this? He had no proof.
The artifacts remained locked in ACIO vaults.

Speaker 23 The disk translations existed only in classified systems. His enhanced genetics couldn't be verified without special equipment.
All he had were words.

Speaker 23 And 11 months later, those words appeared online on a Wingmaker's website. But the details had changed.
The hiker's discovery date shifted. Character names morphed.

Speaker 23 And the Wingmaker's teachings were now available for the low-low price of $17.99. Oh no.

Speaker 23 The man behind the Wingmaker's website called himself James. Later, he'd reveal his full identity, James Mahu from the Lyricus Teaching Organization.

Speaker 23 November 1998, 11 months after Naruta's defection, the Wingmakers website appeared online. Anonymous at first.

Speaker 23 No author, nobody taking credit, just a story of Ancient Arrow, the ACIO, and humanity's potential future, free for anyone to read. The site included Naruto's interviews, renamed Dr.

Speaker 23 Anderson in this version, and there were pictures of art from the chambers, music, wingmaker's philosophy, all available for free. Then things started changing.

Speaker 23 December 9th, 1998, Wingmakers LLC was created in Minnesota. The owner, Mark Hempel, based in Odina.
A month later, subtle changes appeared on the website.

Speaker 23 The hiker's discovery date shifted from 1972 to 1996. The chamber count increased from 23 to 24.
Dr. Naruto became Dr.
Anderson. The changes were small, easy to miss unless you were paying attention.

Speaker 23 The transformation accelerated in 2001. March brought the first commercial product, $17.99.

Speaker 23 By the end of the year, what started as a free revelation had become a whole product line. Music CDs priced at $108.

Speaker 23 Yep. I'm telling you, a merch is way too cheap.
No, it isn't.

Speaker 23 The website sold art reproductions, philosophy collections, complete packages with bundle discounts. James finally revealed himself through email interviews.

Speaker 23 He claimed the identity of Mahunahi, a translator for the Lyricus teaching organization. Not from outer space, but not quite human either.

Speaker 23 He described using sensory bilocation, a technique for gathering information across dimensions. He positioned himself as a translator, not a creator.
The Wingmaker's material were real.

Speaker 23 He didn't write them. He just made them accessible.
But the changes kept coming. The Cordium's home planet moved from 15,000 light years away to 15 million.

Speaker 23 Scientific details were updated to match current theories. New websites popped up, eventtemples.org, lyricus.org, sovereignintecral.org.

Speaker 23 Each site added details to the story, and each offered more products. The original story, Dr.
Neruda's, was buried under spiritual teachings and expensive merchandise.

Speaker 23 Years later, James would describe the Wingmaker's materials with a specific word. Not history, not revelation.
He called it mythology.

Speaker 23 Mark Hempel remained silent. He managed the business side while James handled mythology.
Together, they transformed a conspiracy story into something else.

Speaker 23 Something less specific, something less verifiable, but something much more profitable.

Speaker 23 We've got desert canyons with secret labs, time-traveling humans warning about synthetic invaders, alien alliances, DNA activation, humanity's salvation through consciousness.

Speaker 23 The Wingmaker story has it all, and we just scratched the surface. But is any of this true? Well, the New Mexico Cultural Resources Information System contains no record of any ancient arrow site.

Speaker 23 Over 800 archaeological projects have been documented near Chaco Canyon since 1952. Not one project mentions mysterious chambers.
No museum anywhere has a single Wingmaker artifact.

Speaker 23 No peer-reviewed paper paper discussed the discovery. The NSA has never acknowledged an advanced contact intelligence organization.

Speaker 23 ACIO appears on no government documentation, classified or declassified.

Speaker 23 Yeah, yeah, but if ACIO is real, they'd cover their tricks. That's true, but so are the story contradictions.
The Wayback Machine shows all the changes to the dates, names, locations.

Speaker 23 These aren't clarifications, they're rewrites. Then there's the money.
Wingmakers LLC, LLC registered December 1998. Free content transformed into premium products.

Speaker 23 The Wingmakers revelation had become a business model. But despite all the problems with the story and all the products for sale, the Wingmakers built a devoted following.

Speaker 23 25 years later, there are still thousands of followers. They know the story is debunked.
They don't care. Still, they report personal transformations, expanded awareness, life changes.

Speaker 23 Now, is this just a placebo effect or something more?

Speaker 23 I don't think it matters. If people are getting value for their money, I don't have a problem with it.

Speaker 23 That's why when I read that James Mahu was a fraud running a scam, I pushed back because a scam really all depends on your point of view.

Speaker 23 James himself called the materials mythology, not history, not journalism. Mythology.
That's an important word and probably why James chose it.

Speaker 23 Since before we had written language, we evolved through stories. Our culture from the very beginning was built on mythology.
Cave paintings taught the next generation how to hunt.

Speaker 23 Tribal elders told legends that explained seasons. The stories told in religions shaped entire civilizations.
Stories have always pushed humanity forward. Jules Verne wrote about submarines.

Speaker 23 We built them. Arthur C.
Clarke imagined satellites. We launched them.
Star Trek showed communicators and video calls, and we use those every day.

Speaker 23 The Wingmakers might be fiction, but it pointed people toward legitimate research. Epigenetics, consciousness studies, the connection between mind and matter.

Speaker 23 Thousands took up meditation, studied quantum physics. Why do they do this? Because the Wingmaker's story is powerful.
And powerful stories always have a hint of truth. The chambers never existed.

Speaker 23 The artifacts were imaginary. The time travel was fantasy.
But the Wingmaker's story contains one undeniable truth. We're capable of more than we know.

Speaker 23 I believe that's true. I think you do too.
That's why you're here watching this show. You have questions.

Speaker 23 You have questions about what's hiding in our government, our society, on our planet, in our reality. And now that we've started asking these questions, we'll never stop.

Speaker 23 So maybe the Wingmakers never existed, but what they started, it's everywhere.

Speaker 24 I played Bolivia scenario 51. A secret code inside the Bible said I would.

Speaker 24 Mysterious number stations, planet surfboat two, Project Starcade, and what the Dark Watchers found

Speaker 24 in a simulation, don't you worry though?
