The northern tales of Kalevala.
Tale of a smith... |
00:00:48.474 - 00:00:51.432 |
...who built a source of happiness.
A machine called the Sampo. |
00:00:51.554 - 00:00:55.183 |
The oldest legends of China.
Tale of the last son of the Nocktress. |
00:00:56.354 - 00:01:00.393 |
A demon that seized
a machine called the Sampo. |
00:01:00.674 - 00:01:04.223 |
Between the ancient Chinese
and Finnish tales lies a link. |
00:01:04.994 - 00:01:08.987 |
This link was left out of
the writings of the Kalevala. |
00:01:09.114 - 00:01:12.993 |
The son of the smith. |
00:01:14.274 - 00:01:17.107 |
The grave in East-Karelia where we
found him dates to the Bronze Age. |
00:01:17.234 - 00:01:23.104 |
An artefact buried with him
shows a level of metal craftsmanship... |
00:01:27.194 - 00:01:32.222 |
...unknown in human history. |
00:01:34.034 - 00:01:37.947 |
One might suspect it was left behind
by extra-terrestrial intelligence... |
00:01:42.034 - 00:01:46.744 |
...a time-capsule of some sort. |
00:01:46.914 - 00:01:49.348 |
...but the writing on it was Chinese,
from before the first known dynasties. |
00:01:49.994 - 00:01:56.388 |
The writing states that the chest
belonged to the son of the smith... |
00:02:01.474 - 00:02:05.752 |
...but he could only open it in
a moment of his greatest despair. |
00:02:05.874 - 00:02:09.867 |
Only when all hope is lost. |
00:02:10.634 - 00:02:15.185 |
There.
It's ruined. |
00:02:51.954 - 00:02:54.548 |
Kai, this is not the beginning.
This is the end. |
00:03:14.194 - 00:03:18.585 |
East Karelia - Finland 2000 B.C. |
00:03:31.834 - 00:03:34.223 |
Back away.
Don't touch that animal. |
00:03:48.954 - 00:03:53.744 |
I only wounded it.
We'll let it live. |
00:04:54.474 - 00:04:58.228 |
