00:33Good evening and welcome to The Mystery Ship.
00:36At this very moment, the fourth season of Cuarto Milenio begins.
00:41And first and foremost, as is customary, my first words to all of you.
00:45Thank you so much. Thank you for being there with your support, with your effort, because you make this miracle possible.
00:51The fourth year, with a lot of stories, a lot of knowledge and above all, a lot of dreams.
00:58Let's share them.
01:00And what's more, there will be new developments. I was outlining some of them.
01:04News that may interest you, because more than ever we are going to echo your own stories,
01:10from his own research and conjectures, because in The Mystery, well, there is much more to say.
01:15And perhaps sometimes you know more than we do. That's quite likely.
01:20But I will tell you a little secret.
01:23Before this whirlwind of television, the set, the guests, listening to so many important people,
01:28I was a journalist traveling through Spain, going by road to the scene of the events.
01:34And I missed that feeling, that strange feeling of being with the mystery and with the people who knew it.
01:39They live.
01:39And well, I'll just say one thing.
01:41We'll be able to make those kinds of trips.
01:45It will be just one of the new features.
01:47But as a preview of this first trip to an unusual and inhospitable place,
01:52where we will be guides for all of you, here are some pictures.
01:56I hope you enjoy them.
02:18Let's go see the giant, guys.
02:19Let's go see the giant, guys.
02:19Let's go see the giant.
02:55Let's go see the giant.
03:19Help, because this case remains an unsolved mystery.
03:23Imagine, in the snow, some tents, ripped from the inside, something has happened.
03:29And two cameras.
03:31Like these, exactly like these, Leica type.
03:33Inside, the horrified authorities—and they'll understand why later—find several rolls of this type, just in
03:42one of them, 32 images.
03:45A roll of film from 1959 like this one, 32 portraits before death.
03:54What are those photos? What are those photos? What do they look like?
03:56For example, this. A group of university mountaineering protagonists are accessing an area that has a reputation for
04:05dark, cursed.
04:07At least for the region's former inhabitants.
04:10And in the photos, smiles, peaceful images, perfect harmony, everyone looking at the lens of the old Leica.
04:18There is one, in fact, one of the last ones, where they are surprised by a snowfall, and the face of one of them
04:23She looks like she's guessing what's going to happen.
04:27As if from another time. Like a ghost of snow and ice.
04:31And perhaps something like that had to happen.
04:34We're going to verify this because we have a sample of how the Soviet police and army found the bodies.
04:41Here the mystery begins.
04:42But you need to have all the data.
04:44That's why we travel through time and space.
04:47Up to that place, the Urals, up to a date, winter, dark winter, of 1959.
04:57February 1959.
05:00Mid-Russian winter.
05:02Ten students from the city of Katerinburg, led by the experienced mountaineer Igor Dyatlov,
05:08They are finalizing the details of a cross-country skiing expedition through the mountains.
05:12Their goal is to reach the summit of Kolatsiak, the mountain of death, a peak in the northern part of
05:20the Ural mountain range.
05:22Since ancient times, the mountain had been surrounded by myths and legends.
05:27The natives of the area felt a deep fear towards that place.
05:31It was said to be the dwelling place of ancient evil spirits.
05:45The young mountaineers were not impressed by what they considered mere superstitions.
05:54At dusk on the eve of reaching the summit, they decided to stop and pitch some tents in the
06:00to spend the night.
06:03After a quiet dinner, the group members retired to their tents at an early hour.
06:12However, at some point in the early morning, something happened that woke them up.
06:19Something unknown drove them to a state of extreme terror, forcing them to flee the shops,
06:24Tearing them from the inside with knives and going out into the freezing outside, almost naked and barefoot.
06:41After several days of searching, a rescue team found the battered remains of the camp.
06:50Following the footprints, which were still visible in the snow,
06:54They saw the frozen bodies of two of the young men,
06:56who lay in their underwear next to the remains of a makeshift bonfire.
07:04Three more bodies were found in the surrounding area.
07:12One of the girls was found in the middle of a large pool of blood that was coming from her mouth.
07:20Some of the bodies took four months to be found.
07:25According to the autopsy, the victims had died between six and eight hours after eating their last meal.
07:32The deaths were caused by hypothermia.
07:36The temperatures were 30 degrees below zero.
07:39They had been left with no option for survival.
07:43The bodies also showed internal injuries of unknown nature,
07:47which could only have occurred if they had been subjected to tremendous internal pressure.
07:53In addition, the corpses showed abnormal levels of radioactivity.
07:59After the funerals, relatives stated that the bodies had a strange orange tan.
08:05And her hair had turned completely gray.
08:20The Soviet press gave little importance to the news.
08:24And the authorities classified all material and reports related to the case as secret.
08:29and they prohibited access to the area for years.
08:32Nearly 50 years later, no one knows what horribly ended the lives of nine young people.
08:40on those slopes of the southern mountains.
08:44Friends and family continue to search for answers.
08:59It's quite curious, seeing this story, this night of terror in the Urals,
09:04one realizes that precisely tonight, on the mystery ship,
09:07The mountains will be the main attraction.
09:10Mountains of death and sacred mountains.
09:13Mountains of secrets, mountains perhaps of life.
09:15But we'll figure it out.
09:17It's an honor, as always, to start a new season, the fourth one already,
09:22And to do it with this great friend, and it must be said, this great teacher who teaches us so much,
09:27forensic psychiatrist, a key member of this story that is Cuarto Milenio,
09:31Dr. José Cabrera.
09:32Hi how are things?
09:32Welcome, it's a pleasure to see you again.
09:34Here we are.
09:34It's a pleasure, truly.
09:36And we are also joined by Juan Villa, another great friend of this program,
09:41Sculptor, model maker and collaborator of the Spanish Society of Criminology and Forensic Sciences
09:45that always brings us creations, we always say that, right, doctor?
09:48To learn, not to scare.
09:49Yes, there's no morbid curiosity involved, it's about learning.
09:51Learn.
09:52Although it must be said that what's in here is shocking.
09:54Yes, it's true that it's important for people to know that things in which someone appears who is
09:59dead
10:00They're always a little strong.
10:01Now, doctor, one of the strangest cases you've ever heard of, because of the dynamics, because of the kind of movie it is.
10:06that we have recreated,
10:07That was the case, one of the most extraordinary criminological situations, at least, a map of the events.
10:12or strangers you've seen.
10:14Let's just say this is beyond what I usually talk about.
10:19I have,
10:20We have even explained it here, therefore it is even more mysterious, and in fact I have few hypotheses that
10:26defend.
10:27Let's see if we can shed some light on this mystery.
10:29This is always your mission, doctor.
10:31Juan Villa, friend.
10:32Good evening, Siqui.
10:33Good night.
10:33It's a pleasure to have you here this season.
10:36We really enjoy your creations, although in this case the word enjoy can be misinterpreted because this is impressive.
10:41This is Liudmila Dubinina.
10:44Our colleague Santiago Camacho told the story very well, and if you notice, there was a girl who had
10:51a trail of blood.
10:53It was one of the details that caught the attention of the people who went to rescue them, but that's because
10:58The trail of blood holds other secrets.
11:00We'll see them.
11:01For now, let's see how the body ended up.
11:04This is a copy, evidently ravaged by the cold, of the mortal body of that young woman who, with her companions
11:13I wanted to get to a place that they'll tell us about later, a special place for the people of that region.
11:18It was not just any place; it was a place where tradition spoke of even a connection with the supernatural.
11:25Here we have the whole body, as always, a meticulous description by Juan Villa, and now it's the doctor's turn.
11:30Of course, one doesn't have to say anything more.
11:32Because we are looking at a body that perhaps has the signs of a very specific type of death, doctor.
11:37Yes, the truth is that those who are watching this scenario, what they are seeing should know is the body
11:43of a woman who died from freezing.
11:45That is, what is called hypothermia in technical terms, freezing, that is, death from cold.
11:49You can see the frost, you can see the bruises that the people accompanying us are seeing; they are death by
11:56freezing are typical.
11:57There are no blows here.
11:58Have you ever seen people exactly like that?
12:01Deaths from freezing in mountains, specifically mountains in Spain, there are people who have died from freezing.
12:06Even in some beggars who have sometimes died from freezing in harsh winters, the appearance is very similar.
12:12There are no signs of a struggle, there is no struggle here, that is to say, there is no stab wound, no erosion exactly.
12:19There are bruises and well, graying hair, white hair, for a young woman this is very interesting, we have it
12:26What to say.
12:27That's one of the details that doesn't add up, isn't it?
12:29Because these people, that is, a death from cold does not usually change the color of their hair.
12:34There was something strange about this, wasn't there?
12:36An additional element: there has been much talk about how in some scary deaths the dead person has hair
12:42white.
12:43This is not true; that is, white hair cannot turn white in an hour, because the
12:49Hair that has a color at the tip, this color must remain.
12:54What does turn white is the root in a person who has died from panic.
12:58Is it possible to die of fear, doctor?
12:59People can die of fright, and some do die of fright, especially in very primitive cultures.
13:04It's more difficult in developed countries.
13:07And that was very striking about all those who died in these circumstances.
13:11Juan, you based it on the photographs, on the images, but you've created a body that is clearly more
13:17inflamed and has suffered the exact conditions that our colleague Santiago Camacho leaked to you in his fact sheet, right?
13:23Of course, logically, due to the cold, well, we clearly see the symptoms, apart from the frost, because at the ends, in
13:30Areas where the skin is thin tend to freeze quickly; well, those are clearly the tips of
13:37the fingers, of the fingers of the hands, of the toes.
13:39Okay, one thing, a little pause, you'll see that the protagonist's mouth is, well, sewn shut, that's before
13:45Everything needs to be made clear, we want to be very meticulous in that scientific aspect, doctor, that's forensic erasure, that
13:50It's never done.
13:51Never, in any medico-legal autopsy ordered by the judge, is that done, except on some occasion when the corpse
13:57If the person is very disfigured, during the makeup process, after all the forensic work, they usually come together.
14:03the lips so that, in short, a wax is then applied so that we overcome, nothing to do with the
14:08legal ambition
14:08Perfect, so the body wasn't like this either, but the fact that it's like this has an origin and meaning, and we'll...
14:14To discover, if you like, Juan, little by little prepare one of your instruments to reveal what is hidden there,
14:21Because it completely changes the story, you'll understand.
14:23Earlier, we saw bruises that our colleagues' cameras were recording. Why would this happen to someone who has...
14:30I don't know at what temperature or for how long these bruises appear here.
14:33What is this? Is this happening right here?
14:35In certain areas of the body, purple areas appear that people notice, like spots, which are
14:39These are called libidos, the technical term, and these libidos can occur in corpses that are not frozen, not dead from
14:45For example, in cases of natural death, after a few hours, the cold causes the blood vessels to rupture.
14:50And the blood comes out there, but in the case of frostbite, it's because the capillaries have broken.
14:55The cold, and then a stain appears.
14:57If it weren't for the cold, it could be a blow, that is, it could be the effect of a bruise, which
15:02People know it as a hematoma. Here, apparently, there are no signs of a struggle, but rather of freezing.
15:07Since there will be two colleagues at the table later to continue investigating this story, I will ask you, doctor, why
15:12The sensation of blows or internal bleeding, as if the bodies had been carried at high speed, but
15:18That's for later.
15:19Juan, let's proceed, because by the way, doctor, while Juan is cutting, do you see any signs of radioactivity, as they were saying?
15:27So, at first glance, there's no sign of radioactivity here, except for a slight discoloration, it's already
15:33He said at the time, and we will explain more later, that it seems there was a coloration.
15:36But of course, the coloring that was there along with the cold might be deceiving, let's say, but there is hair here, there isn't
15:44hair that fell out, that is, if there had been very intense radiation, which seems to be a possible hypothesis, right?
15:48Well, the hair would have fallen out, but oh well, radiation can't act that fast either, so, well, the color
15:54It's the color of death by hypothermia, just off the top of my head.
15:58Well.
16:01Pay close attention to that, because that's the key. Doctor, you tell us.
16:05Well, the reality is that this woman appeared with blood coming from her mouth; it could have been
16:10It was apparently a blow, but there's a mystery to it, and the mystery is that the tongue was severed.
16:16Sectioned?
16:17Severed, yes, because a person running can bite their tongue, but it's very difficult to break the tongue of
16:23a single bite.
16:24There have been cases in epilepsy, that is, a person having an epileptic seizure falls, bites their tongue
16:29and it's chopped in two, but here the tongue was as if cleanly cut, which is very difficult to...
16:35to justify by the simple act of bribery.
16:37That's a mystery we have with this corpse.
16:39And what could indicate that there were people handling the corpses afterward?
16:44That is the only acceptable hypothesis, that is, that subsequently the research teams, which were, incidentally, official, let's say,
16:51police, etc., etc., could probably have extracted the tongue to investigate effects such as radiation or
17:00toxic or poisonous.
17:01Can the tongue be an indicator of all that?
17:03It is an indicator of either toxins ingested orally or radiation.
17:08Well, that's what we're going to talk about at our table, we're going to try to find out more about all of that.
17:13Juan, as always, thank you so much for this truly terrifying, yet real, creation.
17:18This is a body that appeared like this, and on top of that, with that absolutely macabre detail straight out of a crime novel.
17:23We continue investigating, and to open that area of debate, what better way than to recall the graphic testimony.
17:30Why did these explorers—you might see something strange—leave 32 photographs on old Leica cameras, 32 photographs before
17:39To die?
17:39These are them.
17:58An impressive subject, photographs that say a lot if we look at them with a certain eye.
18:03A very difficult time and bodies in the snow.
18:07A couple of months ago, I said goodbye to the season by saying that it was a joy to have my friend Santiago Camacho with me.
18:13and that we wish we could do many more reports.
18:16And here we are, ready for it.
18:17Santi wrote this story.
18:19Santi, welcome as always to the fourth year.
18:21Welcome, good night.
18:22Thank you Santiago, really.
18:24A subject that has fascinated you, that has impressed you, and also a place that has its own magic and its own
18:29mystery, to add to it.
18:31And we are also accompanied by a good friend who comes from the Canary Islands, David Heilen.
18:35We owe it to Caesar what is Caesar's to know this story.
18:37Santi did know it because he's an expert in all this.
18:39I don't.
18:40And I found out through the report that our friend published in the magazine Más Allá.
18:45He called it Terror in the Urals and I was, quite literally, left in the dark after reading this story.
18:50I said, how is this possible? It's like something out of a movie, a novel, but it's real.
18:54David Heilen, good evening friends.
18:56Good evening, Iker.
18:57An impressive story and a nice touch, because more will be added.
19:00There is one survivor.
19:01Yes, indeed. In fact, this survivor who is left behind by an illness, then contracts an illness, and they obviously decide
19:09leave him behind because it's not advisable to take a sick person to those altitudes.
19:13In other words, he was in the group.
19:14I was in the group of 10.
19:15What's wrong with him?
19:15The thing is, she gets sick, and before we start the climb up the mountain, there was a kind of...
19:20They set up base camp and decided to leave him there because it wasn't convenient to have a sick person on the team.
19:26In fact, he is informed that they would try to return around February 12th, but that if the conditions
19:33If the weather worsened, it was possible they would return later.
19:37That is why the search began so many days after the disappearance of these boys was reported.
19:45But this man then finds himself alone in a sort of solitary camp.
19:48Indeed.
19:49And he heard nothing? He saw nothing?
19:50No, he was obviously recovering. He probably had absolutely no idea what was going on.
19:56He was also many kilometers away, and probably with the cold conditions, it didn't occur to him.
20:01He would have to leave the place where he was unless, as you rightly say, he could hear something.
20:06But, as he himself says and has recounted on all occasions, he knew absolutely nothing that night.
20:12And this man is Yuri Yudin, if I'm not mistaken.
20:14Yuri Yudin, exactly.
20:14Is he still alive?
20:15He is still alive and for him, man, it has obviously been a miracle not to be in that group and to be able to live.
20:22But it has also been a kind of curse because the knowledge gnaws at him, and has gnawed at him all his life.
20:28or try to find out why he was chosen to be left out and has taken it as a kind of
20:32a sign of identity when trying to find out what happened to his friends.
20:35And so, during all this time, he has tried by all means to obtain declassified documents, something very complicated, and
20:41try to figure out what happened that night.
20:44What kind of terror occurred that night to cause those events to unfold?
20:49So, David, that Yuri Yudin, his illness, his fever, whatever he had, saved his life in this
20:54case.
20:55Impressive, really, doctor, what a story.
20:57So, you go with 10 friends, and you stay behind because of an illness that I imagine, you think, has happened to me.
21:03ruined the whole expedition, and the next thing you know, your friends have shown up in these circumstances.
21:08the snow.
21:08Yes, in fact, he has probably already had a certain feeling of guilt during all these years of his life.
21:13for not having shared the same good fortune as his teammates, if you will.
21:17And that also happens a lot in tragic accidents, with many deaths. When someone survives, the first thing to do is...
21:22It's about getting rid of the guilt of not having died with his friends, his brothers, etc.
21:28It's one of the most important things in the world of psychiatry too, isn't it, doctor?
21:31Yes, the fault.
21:32The feeling of guilt that grips human beings, that makes it seem like we have something there that always wants to make us guilty.
21:37when there is no fault whatsoever.
21:38Indeed, none.
21:39Santiago, more incredible things. The place, as you said at the beginning, the place, those mountains, are not just any place.
21:46mountains.
21:47Well, no, these are not just any mountains, and in fact, they have a very interesting history.
21:52The location on Soviet military maps was designated as peak 1079.
21:57The natives of the area, the Mansi, called it Kolatsiak, which, translated in their language, is the mountain of the
22:04dead.
22:05The mountain of the dead, kolatsiak.
22:07Yes, in fact, it was thought, one of the first theories was that the Mansi, who are a pastoral people
22:12of reindeer and lumberjacks,
22:14Perhaps this expedition had broken a taboo, had entered a sacred place, and they, in revenge,
22:20They had been attacked.
22:21There is a complete absence of footprints other than those of the expedition members, and no signs of violence.
22:26the corpses.
22:27The Mansi, in fact, are a very hospitable people, like all peoples, desert nomads, peoples who
22:33Although they live in very difficult conditions, the Eskimos are incredibly hospitable to foreigners.
22:38In fact, David was just telling me that they even encountered a group of Mansi and the expedition
22:42and they had a cordial relationship.
22:45But they call it the mountain of the dead because, according to their mythology, it is like Mount Ararat.
22:51The site, the last peak that remained after the universal flood.
22:56So, in their mythology, the survivors of this universal flood saw the beaches that remained after that peak
23:02turned into an island,
23:02as the floating corpses of the dead from the flooded world arrived, and from then on it remained like the mountain of
23:10the dead.
23:11It's curious because Diablo's expedition was going somewhere else, it was going to Mount Otorten, which in the Mansi language
23:18It has a much more revealing name.
23:20Otorten means the place one does not go to, so since the place seemed marked by
23:25a kind of two-step beginning.
23:26There were a number of myths and they challenged a number of myths within, evidently, the legend, but in that place,
23:33the map of the facts,
23:34I don't know if we've left out any details for the doctor to analyze and try to tell us with all this
23:39analysis of what might happen there.
23:42The greatest misfortune seems to be that of poor Luisa Mila, who has had her tongue cut out, is anything known about it?
23:47Furthermore, the tongue appeared,
23:50Was there any other mutilation on any other body?
23:51No, the only external sign that the body presented in a somewhat serious appearance was that severed tongue,
24:00That amputated tongue, it was theorized that he might have bitten it, as the doctor indicated earlier,
24:04but that would show some signs of teeth in that section of the tongue.
24:09But a clean cut.
24:10Yes, exactly. And another theory was that scavenging animals had tried to feed on it, and from that perspective,
24:16But obviously making a clean cut was practically impossible.
24:19The other bodies, which were the other four found right next to her,
24:23They showed not external signs, but a violent, to put it mildly,
24:29Internal signs such as hemorrhages and deep internal trauma, not external signs.
24:35Which only added more mystery to the matter.
24:38I think that even then, David, I lost myself, any comparison of the feeling,
24:41Or was it said at the time, of bodies that appeared to have been suddenly accelerated or struck?
24:45Yes, in fact one of the theories that was considered was that some external factor,
24:50Someone might have approached these climbers and attacked them.
24:55It was initially ruled out because there were no footprints in the area,
24:57But secondly, it was also because it was impossible for a human being to produce such force
25:02to cause those hemorrhages and internal traumas in people.
25:06It was completely impossible for any person to produce those internals,
25:10which were most similar to exactly what you described,
25:13to the traumas found in vehicle accidents when the speed is very high
25:17and suddenly there is an immediate decrease in speed
25:20and internal injuries and hemorrhages of all kinds occur,
25:24Therefore, the human factor was ruled out.
25:26Doctor, when one finds a body that appears to have these internal hemorrhages,
25:30What can you analyze about these blows?
25:33It appears they may have been put into a device or pushed at some speed?
25:37Well, the truth is that there are many hypotheses in this theory, which is very difficult to explain.
25:42But when there's internal bleeding, it smells, it gives that impression.
25:47At least a stab wound, that suddenly they, at some point, at some hour of the night,
25:52It is not known when, they all abruptly leave the store, even tearing the tent.
25:57because the shops were tied up.
25:58Do you have any photographs that prove it?
25:59Yes, there are even some photographs where the store is ripped open from the inside.
26:04It's an uncontrollable panic, I imagine.
26:06Or rather, they tore it themselves, they didn't scratch it from the outside.
26:09No, no, no, the tearing of the tent is from the inside out, according to all studies.
26:15Therefore, these people, at a certain point, all at once, run away.
26:20At 30 below zero.
26:21Clear.
26:22But when that happens, it's either what was being discussed,
26:25that suddenly everyone wakes up because they were supposedly asleep,
26:28They wake up for a reason,
26:30Or they all ate something that contained a toxin.
26:35That is, after 4 or 5 hours of being asleep,
26:39Everyone starts with pains and everyone runs out of the store
26:44and then there are internal hemorrhages,
26:46as if for some reason they had all ingested a poison,
26:49or the radiation theory, which, well, is there.
26:53Because the hair, this gray hair that all bodies have,
26:56They mostly present, it does not go with the toxic substance.
27:00A hair cannot turn completely white in one or two hours.
27:04Let's take a look at some images of the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
27:08mythical place, far from this point,
27:10But in your day, Santiago, there are two things.
27:12The absolute opacity of the archives on this subject of the deaths in Diadlov
27:17and the possibility, they said, of some experience.
27:20We are in the midst of the Cold War and there is talk of radiation
27:22And many point to this somewhat sinister place,
27:25Today, although still in full use, it must be said.
27:27Conspiracy theories are very popular in this matter,
27:31in present-day Russia,
27:33because they, logically, lived life in the Soviet Union
27:37where everything was secret, everything was hidden.
27:40And, in fact, well, another explanation that's popular there,
27:44Among the possibilities being considered are internal injuries,
27:46It's that, for example, the military or the KGB might have had some kind of involvement in this
27:52And, to cover it up, they would have thrown from a helicopter,
27:56they would have scattered the corpses,
27:58which also coincided with injuries similar to those from a traffic accident.
28:04The downside is that it's much easier to remove all the bodies from the site.
28:08and that they never appear to have to carry out such a maneuver,
28:10But it's an explanation that's being considered there.
28:13And, of course, yes, some kind of military intervention has been suspected.
28:17because there is a fact that we did not mention in the report,
28:22But it seems that in the camp, when it was found,
28:25They found him in the rescue teams
28:27and they began taking inventory of the items they found there,
28:31They found they had too many things,
28:32that there were things that did not belong to the original team.
28:36It is said that there was an extra pair of skis,
28:39snow goggles, too.
28:44and that all this equipment, including a fragment of what appeared to be a military coat,
28:50It was consistent with the equipment of the Russian army at the time.
28:54In other words, there were things they couldn't...
28:57More people around.
28:58Indeed.
28:59People of whom no trace has been found.
29:02So much so that, for example, another theory that is also being considered in Russia
29:07is that what...
29:08Baikonur is very far away,
29:10But, for example, what was very close by was a gulag,
29:12It was a concentration camp for political dissidents.
29:15And that they had mistaken a patrol for escapees from the gulag.
29:20and they would have attacked them,
29:22would have caused this panic
29:24and then later they would have realized their mistake.
29:25Sure, but it's really a mystery, attacked, you say, well,
29:27If they had gunshot wounds or had...
29:29But attacking without external injuries is impressive.
29:32And as if this story needed any more elements,
29:35He said it for a reason, didn't he?
29:36which is one of the ones that has impressed me the most in recent times,
29:39We have sketches, we have drawings from some people, David,
29:42They claim there are strange lights, let's leave it at that.
29:46lights like suns in the same area where the corpses appear.
29:50It is an amalgamation of mysteries that unites this case in an incomprehensible way.
29:53And one of them is that, because researchers who have dedicated years to collecting testimonies
29:58of people who might have been in the vicinity where these boys died,
30:04They have found testimonies from military personnel and mountaineers,
30:07Well, around that time, approximately between March and the beginning of February,
30:12They claimed to have seen spheres in the skies, which they described as bright orange spheres.
30:17From here, the best testimonies came from some mountaineers who were found approximately 50 kilometers from the area
30:22and that they themselves witnessed that movement of bright orange spheres, as I said,
30:28and that they were even on the move and heading towards the Otorne mountain area,
30:31which is where these boys were initially headed.
30:34Therefore, it is yet another theory that joins the existing one, this luminous effect also joining the possibility that it was
30:41part of a military experiment,
30:44But we have two drawbacks at this point, and one is that the bodies present internal injuries,
30:48Therefore, it would have had to be some kind of explosion that caused that damage.
30:52but not to apparently external damage, but rather to what would be the effect of the pump's expansion.
30:58However, on the other hand, no signs of an explosion have been found in the area.
31:03Absolutely not, there are no broken trees, nothing burned, absolutely nothing.
31:07There are some interesting things about what he's saying,
31:10And in 1959, in Russia, not a hair moved without it being...
31:15the authorities knew.
31:16Year 59.
31:18And another issue is that the Urals are mountains where there is radioactive ore.
31:22In other words, there are radioactive mineral mines in the Urals.
31:25I say this in case it has something to do with these other possibilities.
31:29In a very special place, of course.
31:30In '59, obviously, mobilizing the number of people that were mobilized to look for these boys was amazing.
31:37In other words, they were professors at the Polytechnic Institute where they were, they were soldiers, they were police officers, they were parents.
31:43In other words, there were a lot of people looking for them.
31:45The first bodies were found in six days, but the following ones took two months to be found.
31:49Two months.
31:50After.
31:50And the most official hypothesis would be a very special kind of avalanche.
31:54It is one of the latest hypotheses being considered that is gaining strength.
31:57A kind of light snow avalanche, they call it.
31:59They say, this theory claims that they were surprised by this avalanche inside the store.
32:04The avalanche, the weight of the snow, would cause those internal injuries.
32:09And, fearing the aftershocks, they would tear open the tents and flee towards a nearby forest to try to escape.
32:16Then, seeing that the weather conditions were improving and that no more aftershocks were occurring,
32:20They would try to return to the camp to get Greek clothes and would die of hypothermia.
32:23One more thing, David, are there no other footprints around?
32:25No, absolutely no one else.
32:26They were university students, intelligent people, I mean, they weren't amateurs, they were people who had...
32:31And ready, right? And ready.
32:32And they were very good mountaineers, especially Diatov, who was leading the entourage of, let's say, the head of
32:38the expedition.
32:38He was a very good mountaineer.
32:40And what about the reports, Santiago? What about the official explanation, or is silence the prevailing factor in this whole story?
32:45Yes, a good part of the material has been declassified.
32:49And the other striking thing, which is also curious, is that this area remains cordoned off for three years.
32:56After...
32:57Has the area been cordoned off for three years?
32:58For three years, the passage of civilians and military personnel was absolutely prohibited, and of course, hikers were also prohibited, with military surveillance.
33:09The authorities confiscate, as we depicted in the reenactment, all the autopsy reports,
33:17These photographs we are seeing, the visual reports from the rescue teams, absolutely all the material.
33:23And only in very recent times, after the fall of the Soviet Union, has part of it been made public
33:31material.
33:31And above all thanks to the work of a foundation, the Diatov Foundation, which is made up of friends, family, and close associates.
33:41of these young people,
33:43who want to know the truth and are moving heaven and earth to the best of their ability to find out
33:48be made public.
33:49This story is about to turn 50 years old, Doctor. As a map of events, we were saying it was something extraordinary, extremely rare.
33:57Something strange.
33:58Yes, why?
33:58And it sounds a bit like a human experiment, doesn't it? I don't know, this whole tongue thing... Anyway...
34:02It sounds strange, it sounds strange. In the photos of them before they died, it's clear that, indeed, the
34:07We have here, magnificent, they are people who get along well.
34:10They're friends, I mean, there's no possibility of internal dissension, something that would have angered them towards each other.
34:17a discussion and such.
34:18The tongue being cut, I'm suggesting that it was done after the fact. That is to say, we also have to realize that there are several.
34:23the days, when the bodies are like this.
34:25Because the search expedition arrives days later, which means a lot of time has passed, it's colder, etc.
34:31There were animals, but not so many that it's reasonable to think they had eaten the tongue.
34:35And of course, what impresses me most is that the tongue was removed or cut off or something.
34:40clues to analyze.
34:41At a medical level, at a medical level, later.
34:42From a medical standpoint, in case of poisoning, from something radioactive...
34:44Let's do one thing, I think the case is so impressive, the case is so...
34:49protagonists of CSI,
34:50But in reality, since we have that material, that whole reel they left behind, we're going to look at it again as
34:56conclusion of this story.
34:57This is somewhat their epitaph, their final legacy, which also makes it more dramatic.
35:01They take some photos; some of them look a bit, as I said at the beginning, almost like ghosts, photos of people who
35:07You know they're going to end up like this.
35:10We're going to put them back on, and if any viewer—because I think it's important, and the interactivity—this
35:14This year is going to be more than ever,
35:16He sees something in the photos, he senses something from the information we've given, we'll resume the investigation and maybe we'll find out something
35:22further.
35:23Because for now, the reality is that we have to leave it like this, as one of the great mysteries.
35:27an impressive X-File of the former Soviet Union, perhaps a glimpse into how much is hidden in that
35:33territory.
35:33And what's more, Santi, we could almost talk about mysteries of the Soviet Union next week, if you'd like.
35:37and of the KGB,
35:38We have it pending, which wouldn't be a bad idea.
35:39Yes, I think we should revive that program we did on the CIA, even repeating the
35:46same panelists,
35:47because they gave us a real lesson.
35:49Can he be on good terms with the KGB?
35:50Yes sir.
35:50I'm sure this has already been discussed.
35:51I think so.
35:52David Heilen, thank you my friend for this visit and for bringing back this fantastic story.
35:55Thanks to you.
35:56Thank you.
35:56Thank you, Dr. Cabrera, as always, a true pleasure, and we await your response.
36:00Because there might be people who can give us clues, of course!
36:03We don't explain most things, and I think this is worth exploring.
36:07full hand.
36:08Thank you very much, doctor, as always.
36:09To you.
36:09Really.
36:10There are the photos, there are the images, there are those old rolls of film from Soviet cameras
36:15with the portraits of this incredible story.
36:17No.
36:22No.
36:31No.
36:33No.
36:34No.
36:51Subscribe to the channel!
37:04And there are going to be so many surprises that we're preparing them meticulously, the whole team, our filmmakers, all the technicians, to
37:11That there is a new dimension to the analysis of photographs and videos, I can't say anything more.
37:17But for that to be possible, Carmen, we need to ask for help again. We already have thousands and thousands of photographs.
37:23But we want more, because there are going to be many surprises.
37:27Guillermo León is already analyzing the photographs that have arrived throughout this summer, but we want more.
37:32And we also want your help, because your photographs are going to be seen in new dimensions, with plans, unlike anything we've ever seen before.
37:40seen on Cuarto Milenio.
37:42Furthermore, technology allows us to create reports like the ones we are seeing on screen.
37:48Our expert uses the latest computer programs to give your photographs an explanation, if they have one.
37:57Because sometimes we encounter surprises, those characters we can't identify throughout these
38:03seasons of Cuarto Milenio, we have seen how not all photographs can be explained.
38:08But we also want your videos. And one thing, think about it, I know many of you write down what
38:16They dream.
38:17Send us your dreams. If you wake up tomorrow and have dreamed or had a nightmare, please tell us about it, write it down for us.
38:24Every detail. You'll see what we do with it.
38:26A question for everyone. If I were to tell you what dream you've had most often, and many people
38:33I would agree, and that dream means something, it means that something is happening to us, that we believe something, that we have an anxiety.
38:39It will be great to see our dreams. Can you imagine seeing our dreams with the entire Cuarto Milenio artistic team?
38:45usual?
38:46But there's more, there's more. Personal experiences. Their personal experiences. You'll understand me very soon.
38:55Experiences you've lived through, presented in the style of Cuarto Milenio. And for all this, two ways to get in touch.
39:02Yes, it also seems that in summer, when we travel to other places, some have had a lot of mystery.
39:07We've received some truly shocking things.
39:10There are two ways to contact us if you want to send us your videos, your recordings, your dreams, your experiences.
39:19Cuartomilenio.com if they do so through email and our post office box.
39:24Those letters are going to be very important in this new season of Cuarto Milenio.
39:28The post office box 18189 with the Madrid postal code 28080.
39:34We could say that there is more connection than ever and you are more protagonists of the mystery ship than ever.
39:40But we have also had a small luxury, as I mentioned at the beginning, which is traveling.
39:44And we did it, didn't we? To the driest desert on the planet.
39:48To a desolate place, full of death, certainly, but full of enigmas and sacred mysteries.
39:55Do you think we should start a different route with all our friends?
39:59Let's go to her.
40:00Well then, embark with us on this unforgettable journey.
40:03I assure you that you will see images that have never been filmed for television before.
40:07The expedition to this desert begins, perhaps the most inhospitable on the planet.
40:16This is a territory where death always accompanies the traveler.
40:20It's hard to get away from her.
40:22Its presence is not subjective, but physical.
40:26As sentinel and guardian of each of our steps.
40:30Reminding us that its silent silhouette is present in every kilometer, in every stone, and in every story.
40:37This is the road of the souls.
40:40They call it that because there are hundreds of clandestine chapels, with old crosses,
40:44like scars on the roadside, where paper flowers are never lacking.
41:00The souls of the road are a reminder of fatal accidents, particularly hit-and-runs.
41:05For the inhabitants of this region, untimely death leaves the place imbued with a certain energy that must be...
41:12to venerate, control, and respect.
41:18Starting from the marginal settlement of Alto Hospicio and heading along the A16 towards the village of Guara,
41:23We cross the heart of the driest desert in the world and are flanked by spectral crosses.
41:34Trucks in the coastal area of Iquique transport sulfuric acid, and others carry explosive material from Bolivia.
41:42They travel in very dense and slow traffic, and along the side of the road, dozens of vehicles are stranded.
41:48over the last few decades,
41:50They generate strange shapes, silhouettes almost as sinister as those that await us a little further on.
42:01For 7,000 years, from the very beginning of the Neolithic period, this arid land was chosen to send a message to
42:08the skies.
42:09A message crafted with incredible technique and skill. A message that no one can decipher anymore.
42:16It's a mystery that no one has been able to solve. From the coasts of Peru to these deserts of northern Chile,
42:22The mountains, the dunes, the hills come to life. Extraordinary beings appear, created by people many centuries ago.
42:30people who may never have fully seen his work, because it gives the impression, therein lies the true mystery,
42:36They were designed to be seen from the sky. This is where the controversy begins.
42:40Could they truly fly and observe their creations? Were they made by gods who one day, on this very earth,
42:47Did they descend from some point in space, arid and dry?
42:50It's all conjecture. The truth is that here in Atacama, at the foot of Cerro Unita,
42:56We encountered one of the most prodigious figures in history: an 86-meter-tall humanoid.
43:01Someone who suddenly, as if emerging from a ghostly form, warns us that we are now in their territory.
43:10The 115 meters, which extend from the tip of its crown of rays to the sole of its foot,
43:15They need no more words. And so, we remained silent before His powerful presence.
43:21Man or God, we are faced with the largest anthropomorphic figure in the world.
43:26And it is here, in the middle of Cerro Unita, the Apu or Sacred Mountain, where nobody knows what rituals and invocations
43:34They could be carried out looking into his square eyes.
43:38In the shadow of the antediluvian robot, beneath its appearance that blends future and prehistory,
43:44All that remains is the shudder and the questions.
43:48But the surprises surrounding this colossal work, which frightened conquerors and chroniclers,
43:53They increase as we gradually ascend, to discover its great secret.
43:58Now we find ourselves inside the giant of Atacama.
44:01And from this place, from this Sacred Hill, from this Apu, as the ancients called it,
44:04The immensity of the desert is contemplated.
44:07A desolate place.
44:08And from here, this watchman.
44:09This sentinel, who, judging by his appearance, seems to come from another world.
44:12The most surprising thing is that what we observe is the feeling that there are no plans, no lines,
44:18There is no architecture whatsoever, much less any calculation.
44:21It gives the impression that the stones have scattered almost on their own.
44:25generating this great optical illusion.
44:27I am sure that a person who does not know the giant of Atacama, his presence,
44:32I would pass through these hills without being aware of this strange wonder.
44:36It is just one of the mysteries we will face on this journey.
44:40Look at this desolate place.
44:42For many centuries, the giant has greeted the heavens.
44:46Because?
44:48Unita Hill, dominating the entire Tarapacá Desert,
44:52It must have been an axis mundi, a cosmic axis for the primitive inhabitants
44:57of this universe always scorched by the sun.
45:00Many have wanted to see here the god Tunupa, creator of the Earth,
45:04and others to strange master instructors, who one day came down from heaven,
45:09sowing the basic rudiments of knowledge and leaving never to return.
45:14The substrate is a special organic substrate, which you take out, scrape,
45:21and a white, whitish component comes out.
45:25And they said that it shone from a distance, well, with the sun and the full moon, for example.
45:30All the hills have powers, they have the apus, they have a spirit.
45:34And this Isla hill, which is Unita hill, hence the name Uno,
45:40It is emerging in the middle of the Pampas, in the middle of the desert,
45:44Therefore, it has had a religious, magical significance.
45:48And that is why they also include this figure of a deity,
45:53an important deity for the Andean world,
45:55And they bring her and express her, they leave her there in her physical presence,
46:00so that those who pass through those spaces know who it belongs to.
46:06They are divine spaces.
46:07It's truly an impressive georrhof.
46:10It is a figure that is more than 100 meters long.
46:13It can be seen from, well, on Google it can be seen very well from above.
46:21And that's an image that's repeated in other types of designs,
46:29in stone engraving, in pictography, with their respective differences,
46:34with their respective particularities,
46:36but it is quite, let's say, scattered in northern Chile.
46:42Patient stargazers generated this ghostly effect of the figure
46:46which today can only be intuited, with the help and contrast of technology and satellite photography.
46:52By accessing it, we verified how the giant,
46:55surrounded by many other symbols that tattoo the entire sacred mountain,
46:58They radiate all their strength towards us.
47:03The humanoid of Cerro Unita is the guardian of a silent world,
47:07where many other mysteries are hidden.
47:12Far from tourism and cameras,
47:14We have to ride along dirt roads and through wide ravines,
47:18until we find our next objective,
47:20a mural in which ancient man scattered his secret code for us.
47:27Nobody knows for sure how old all these works are
47:30that look up at the sky on the so-called Painted Hill.
47:34The time frame is very broad
47:36and it goes from before the birth of Jesus to the arrival of the Spanish.
47:41These ones you're seeing were supposedly created by scraping stone by stone.
47:45when the 5th century AD began.
47:48The first studies from the year 80 mention 257 figures,
47:53Then another archaeologist speaks of 357,
47:55Then in 2006, 420 identified figures appeared.
47:58And we this year with a coworker
48:01We counted ourselves one by one and exceeded 540
48:04And then, sadly, the sun went down on us.
48:07we cannot continue with the task.
48:09But we're talking about the fact that they most likely exceed 600 figures.
48:11What kind of techniques do these geoglyphs use?
48:13Geoglyphs generally employ two types of techniques,
48:16scraping, which is removing the darker surface layer
48:20exposing the lighter layer so that the drawing appears
48:24and the adhesion or mosaic type, which is adding stones of another color.
48:27It's difficult to focus on just one figure, on just one message.
48:31It all resembles a great cry uttered by rows of shamans,
48:35dancers, spirits, sharks, and creatures of darkness like this great owl,
48:40delineated on a slope of more than 55 degrees,
48:45in fascinating balance,
48:46which demonstrates a very advanced concept of perspective.
48:49An owl that was a symbol of death and darkness.
48:53That death that has always dominated the entire territory.
48:57There must be something special about this area for them to have dedicated so much time to it.
49:01because a culture that is, in quotes, simple in technology,
49:07She was very spiritual.
49:08And to give value to this sector, it has to mean something.
49:11There has to be pent-up energy, something that has to carry over into your daily life.
49:15Because otherwise, they wouldn't have given it the importance it deserved.
49:17There are hills and there are areas of hill ranges in several sectors,
49:22north and south, but these were chosen.
49:25That's the issue.
49:28On the other side of the massif engraved by the geoglyphs, we found this.
49:32Despite being an abandoned cemetery, in the loneliest place in the world,
49:37Not too long ago, in the middle of the night, they tried to bury someone alive here.
49:44There are many children's graves and most of the crosses have no name on them.
49:48The village that once stood there has been erased from the face of the earth by time.
49:53the sun and the salt air.
49:55Today, nobody goes near this cemetery anymore, which was built without anyone knowing it.
50:00under the wings of the ancient owl of the dead.
50:08Archaeologists disagree.
50:10For some, these signs guided the caravans.
50:13For others, they were a form of contact with the cosmos and with the gods of the heights.
50:19Some claim that these are representations of altered states of consciousness.
50:27And to understand the message, in its true and profound sense,
50:31We must continue north.
50:32Until reaching the border with Peru.
50:35Our goal is to view these creations from the perspective for which they were truly designed.
50:41Perhaps by looking down from the sky, we can understand.
50:4913 hours 55 minutes local time.
50:51We are at the Arica airport, right on the border between Chile and Peru.
50:56And we're going to try to fly over some of the true wonders of this region.
51:00They are archaeological mysteries.
51:02The giant of Azapa, the geoglyphs of Yuta, the strange drawings of Cerro Sombrero and Cerro Sagrado.
51:08Chacayuta Airport, in Arica, is located in a border area considered high-risk.
51:14due to historical tensions between Chile and Peru.
51:17It is not common to fly over the area to contemplate the strange geoglyphs.
51:21But we're going to do it, thanks to the enthusiasm of Commander Fernando Espinosa.
51:26We will be traveling approximately 10 miles towards the Yuta Valley area
51:31to take the first shot in a location where the geoglyphs are found.
51:39Next, we will cross a plain that divides the Yuta Valley from the Azapa Valley
51:45and we're going to head to Cerro Sombrero and Cerro Ceremonial
51:51which is approximately 25 miles southeast of our current position.
52:02The wind is too strong and prevents us from maneuvering easily.
52:07The bursts of wind to open the gates and film with our camera shake us several times.
52:12Despite everything, upon arriving at the Yuta Valley, we soon encountered new giants.
52:18Archaic forms, like automatons from another time, that have been stuck in the sand forever.
52:23Colossi that were made, and there is no longer any doubt, to be seen from the sky.
52:32Strange felines crouching, pairs of humanoid beings that exceed 50 meters in length.
52:39Some of them wear strange helmets. It's hard to take it all in.
52:43A little further on, changing course with our 1972 Cessna airplane towards San Miguel de Azapa,
52:49We headed, at 414 meters high, towards Cerro Sombrero, Cerro Ceremonial and the so-called Cerro Mono.
52:58Sacred mountains, apus full of signs, arrows, giant lizards, monkeys,
53:05of strange human shapes, built by piling stone upon stone or moving pebbles aside
53:11down to the deepest layer of soil, to create these incredible effects.
53:17A delirious world, shown to us as it should truly be seen.
53:22And perhaps no human could see it in ancient times, unless they flew.
53:31On the return trip, and although we didn't ask him, Commander Espinosa told us about frequent lights in the
53:36area.
53:37From encounters with unidentified flying objects, recorded by airport radars.
53:43Events experienced firsthand, which we listened to attentively, right there on the track.
53:48While flying at approximately 3 a.m., a luminous phenomenon occurred.
53:55which illuminated, to use a redundant phrase, the entire night.
54:01At that moment we found no explanation, because we did not see any object.
54:07And subsequently, we established communication with another aircraft,
54:11which was located approximately 100 miles south of our position,
54:15and also reported having observed the same phenomenon.
54:20Exactly, it was as if the sun had risen in the middle of the night.
54:23with a brightness, a power equal to what we have at this moment,
54:28and the phenomenon lasted approximately 3 seconds.
54:35We are aware that we are treading on a magical zone.
54:38Nevertheless, we were deeply impressed by the sight of the giants of Yuta and Azapa.
54:43as cosmic kings of another time,
54:45that they would greet us from their imposing hill.
54:47Its schematic image will take a long time to fade from our minds.
54:51An image that moved the great archaeologist Luis Briones,
54:55world's leading authority on geoglyphs,
54:57Trace firmly in the sand.
54:59Perhaps to explain part of its mystery to us.
55:02They are giants, so to speak; they are anthropomorphic figures, or human figures.
55:08that have one, are placed statically, standing frontally.
55:15But there is one detail which is the head, or helmet, which is facing west.
55:21The 56 meters in length of the human figure already indicates something.
55:25Now, if one approaches the figures, one has the possibility of getting closer,
55:29You will see the monumentality of the figures themselves.
55:32Luis Briones began cataloging these creations a long time ago, step by step.
55:37On one occasion, he tried to make one of them, equipped with all modern technology.
55:42We made the whole structure to trace the figure through a vertical axis
55:50and with two horizontal axes that would mark the hands, I would say, and the feet,
55:54the legs, the hind legs.
55:58For that reason we had to leave; we returned in the afternoon, hours later.
56:02and from the plane, from where the reading of the Chueco Vío is made,
56:06We saw that the axis we had drawn, which we thought was plumb,
56:10We had mapped it to Chueco. It was off course.
56:14If you look at the figures on the hills, they are always straight,
56:19both vertically and horizontally.
56:21He is a man, like so many other colleagues, trapped by this great hieroglyphic,
56:27because of this mystery of how and why their most distant ancestors
56:31They engraved the entire desert with a language we cannot understand,
56:35But it's trying to tell us something.
56:38As an important message for all of humanity.
56:42I must admit that I am illiterate.
56:44I can't read these texts.
56:46I don't know how to read these texts.
56:49And I think they are signs, they are symbols,
56:52who said something.
56:54There is no doubt that they said something.
56:56But I don't know.
57:01In this age of codes and keys, there is an ancient challenge that continues to challenge us.
57:06And perhaps you, dear viewer,
57:09letting himself be guided by whatever this open book in the middle of the desert inspires in him,
57:14feel the authentic answer in your soul.
57:22Thank you!
57:24Thank you!
57:24Thank you!
57:24Thank you!
