A Mexican documentary about Mayan civilization has proof that aliens visited earth, according to its producer. Really.
Raul Julia-Levy, son of actor Raul Julia, made the bizarre claims about ‘Revelations of the Mayans 2012 and Beyond’ to industry site TheWrap.
He told them the movie will show “codices, artifacts and significant documents with evidence of Mayan and extraterrestrial contact, and all of their information will be corroborated by archaeologists.”
On his own, Julia-Levy sounds like a desperate producer attempting to drum up business for his niche project, but corroboration of sorts was provided by Luis Augusto Garcia Rosado, the Minister of Tourism for the Mexican state of Campeche.
He told TheWrap that the project draws on newly discovered evidence, including “landing pads in the jungle that are 3,000 years-old”.
He said the film has proof of “contact between the Mayans and extraterrestrials, supported by translations of certain codices, which the government has kept secure in underground vaults for some time.”
Rosado gave the filmmakers access to previously unexplored Mayan sites in Calakmul.
Alien evidence? A Mayan pyramid
"The Mexican government is not making this statement on their own - everything we say, we're going to back it up," said Julia-Levy.
Amazingly Mexico isn’t the only country to officially support the project. The Guatemalan government also helped out by providing artifacts and newly discovered prophecies.
Their Minister of Tourism, Guillermo Novielli Quezada, said in a statement: “Guatemala, like Mexico, home to the ancient yet advanced Mayan civilization ... has also kept certain provocative archeological discoveries classified, and now believes that it is time to bring forth this information in the new documentary.”
Despite help from official channels, some of Julia-Levy’s claims still sound outlandish. He said the documentary contains messages that are crucial to human survival, and reckoned the Guatemalan government’s involvement came at the behest of the country's president, Alvaro Colom Caballero.
The project will be directed by Juan Carlos Rulfo, who won a prize at Sundance in 2006 for his film ‘In the Pit’ and will begin filming on 15 November.
Handily, the theatrical release is sometime in 2012, so you’ll have time to watch it before the end of the world, as prophesied in the Mayan calendar for 21 December.
