Ever since the world found out about mutants in '73
00:00:04.045 --> 00:00:06.889
there have been cults who see them as some kind of
00:00:07.048 --> 00:00:09.001
Second Coming or sign of God
00:00:09.216 --> 00:00:10.513
I was tracking one of them
00:00:11.218 --> 00:00:14.722
They call themselves Ashir En Sabah Nur
00:00:14.889 --> 00:00:18.999
named after an ancient being they believe to be the world's first
00:00:18.225 --> 00:00:19.522
The world's first what
00:00:19.685 --> 00:00:21.001
The world's first mutant
00:00:21.395 --> 00:00:23.989
I thought mutants didn't evolve until this century
00:00:24.148 --> 00:00:26.492
That's the common theory yes but these guys believe
00:00:26.651 --> 00:00:29.996
that the first mutant was born tens of thousands of years ago
00:00:30.154 --> 00:00:31.371
And they believe he will rise again
00:00:31.053 --> 00:00:34.909
They've been searching ancient sites all around the world for clues
00:00:36.243 --> 00:00:37.415
These hieroglyphs
00:00:37.578 --> 00:00:41.549
describe a specific set of powers greater than any man could possess
00:00:41.707 --> 00:00:43.209
They think he lived all that time
00:00:43.376 --> 00:00:46.175
Yes and no They believe he had the ability
00:00:46.337 --> 00:00:47.839
to transfer his consciousness from body to body
00:00:48.026 --> 00:00:49.427
And whenever he was close to death
00:00:49.059 --> 00:00:51.012
he would just take on a new body
00:00:51.175 --> 00:00:53.177
Some of these may have been the bodies of mutants
00:00:53.344 --> 00:00:55.997
enabling him to take their powers
00:00:55.262 --> 00:00:57.105
amassing various abilities over the years
00:00:57.264 --> 00:00:59.938
An all powerful mutant Exactly
00:01:00.101 --> 00:01:02.009
And wherever this being was he always had four
00:01:03.998 --> 00:01:05.001
principle followers Disciples
00:01:06.998 --> 00:01:07.999
Protectors he would imbue with powers
00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:09.235
Like the Four Horsemen
00:01:09.944 --> 00:01:11.617
of the Apocalypse
00:01:11.779 --> 00:01:13.372
He got that one from the Bible
00:01:13.001 --> 00:01:15.283
Or the Bible got it from him
00:01:15.095 --> 00:01:17.577
And wherever he ruled
00:01:17.999 --> 00:01:20.622
eventually it would end in disaster
00:01:20.788 --> 00:01:22.994
Cataclysm
00:01:22.248 --> 00:01:24.001
Some kind of
00:01:24.458 --> 00:01:25.926
Apocalypse
00:01:26.961 --> 00:01:28.999
