00:00:01.434 --> 00:00:05.609
NARRATOR: Strange symbols found
on opposite sides of the Earth.

DAVID CHILDRESS: What a
mandala is doing in remote
3
00:00:09.388 --> 00:00:13.683
desert of Peru is very interesting.
4
00:00:13.713 --> 00:00:17.820
NARRATOR: Binary code
appearing in crop formations.
5
00:00:17.830 --> 00:00:19.110
ANDREW COLLINS: Can we see it as a reply?
6
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:20.871
Indeed, it was.
7
00:00:20.901 --> 00:00:24.760
NARRATOR: And geographical
alignments that defy explanation.
8
00:00:25.501 --> 00:00:27.940
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: These
settlements that are 5,000 years old,
9
00:00:27.970 --> 00:00:29.900
how are they all lined up?
10
00:00:29.930 --> 00:00:33.980
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
throughout the world there are
11
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:38.770
messages concealed within ancient
texts, symbols and structures?
12
00:00:38.771 --> 00:00:42.707
And if so, might they have
been left for us to uncover
13
00:00:42.708 --> 00:00:45.177
by extraterrestrial beings?
14
00:00:45.569 --> 00:00:47.541
KATHLEEN McGOWAN COPPENS: These messages were left to us
15
00:00:47.571 --> 00:00:51.821
a long, long time ago so that
we could remember who we are.
16
00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:55.253
NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe
17
00:00:55.254 --> 00:00:59.715
we have been visited in the past
by extraterrestrial beings.
18
00:00:59.745 --> 00:01:02.865
What if it were true?
19
00:01:02.895 --> 00:01:07.503
Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?
20
00:01:07.533 --> 00:01:12.872
And if so, might we find
the proof in alien messages?

Colored & Hearing Improved By SidBrothers_3
22
00:01:44.533 --> 00:01:48.511
NARRATOR: Arecibo Observatory. Puerto Rico.
23
00:01:48.541 --> 00:01:52.197
November 16, 1974.
24
00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:58.539
Early pioneers of SETI the Search
for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
25
00:01:58.569 --> 00:02:05.668
aim the world's largest radio telescope at
a cluster of stars 25,000 light-years away
26
00:02:05.698 --> 00:02:09.661
to send a transmission out into the cosmos.
27
00:02:10.187 --> 00:02:15.734
The coded signal consists of
binary digits zeros and ones
28
00:02:16.940 --> 00:02:18.251
that form a message designed
29
00:02:18.281 --> 00:02:23.430
to notify other potentially
advanced beings of our existence.
30
00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:26.410
SETH SHOSTAK: This message
into space, it was encoded
31
00:02:26.440 --> 00:02:29.519
in what's called binary code,
cause it's the simplest around.
32
00:02:29.549 --> 00:02:33.850
Listen, we're trying to send
a message to the aliens, and
33
00:02:33.860 --> 00:02:35.754
because you don't know anything
about them, you have to make
34
00:02:35.755 --> 00:02:38.920
this as obvious as possible.
35
00:02:40.165 --> 00:02:44.124
Now, here's the message over
here that was actually sent in 1974,
36
00:02:44.154 --> 00:02:47.165
and it starts off with teaching
the ABC's to the aliens.
37
00:02:47.166 --> 00:02:49.419
Well, not ABC's, the 1-2-3's.
38
00:02:49.449 --> 00:02:54.210
Because right up here are the numbers
from one to ten, but in binary.
39
00:02:54.510 --> 00:02:56.169
And anybody who has thought
about binary should be able
40
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.443
to figure that out, including the aliens.
41
00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:02.681
Right underneath that is... this
funny thing here has the numbers
42
00:03:02.682 --> 00:03:05.450
one, six, seven and so forth.
43
00:03:05.648 --> 00:03:09.688
Those are the atomic numbers
of the elements that make up
44
00:03:09.689 --> 00:03:15.727
our bodies hydrogen, carbon,
nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus.
45
00:03:16.255 --> 00:03:21.199
NARRATOR: The coded message also
contained information about our DNA...
46
00:03:21.200 --> 00:03:26.605
the figure of a human... a
graphic of the solar system...
47
00:03:26.807 --> 00:03:30.143
and a graphic of a radio telescope.
48
00:03:32.278 --> 00:03:37.120
For decades, SETI scientists
wondered if their cosmic message
49
00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:40.419
would ever be received, or answered.
50
00:03:40.420 --> 00:03:46.659
Then, nearly 27 years later,
there appeared to be a response.
51
00:03:50.363 --> 00:03:53.800
Hampshire, England. August 2001.
52
00:03:56.903 --> 00:04:03.413
Next to the Chilbolton Radio Observatory,
two crop formations appeared in a field.
53
00:04:03.722 --> 00:04:08.113
Both are unlike any other ever found.
54
00:04:08.940 --> 00:04:11.316
WILLIAM HENRY: They were both
pixilated, meaning that
55
00:04:11.317 --> 00:04:13.385
when you're on the ground, you
couldn't perceive what
56
00:04:13.386 --> 00:04:16.498
the crop circle was, but once
from the air you could readily
57
00:04:16.528 --> 00:04:18.790
identify the pattern.
58
00:04:19.333 --> 00:04:21.493
COLLINS: One of the crop
formations that appeared
59
00:04:21.494 --> 00:04:26.398
at Chilbolton in 2001 was a face,
but the other one was far,
60
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.430
far more interesting, because it
61
00:04:29.460 --> 00:04:33.376
greatly resembled the message
62
00:04:33.823 --> 00:04:37.616
that had been sent in 1974.
63
00:04:42.270 --> 00:04:46.151
There were very, very subtle
differences between the two.
64
00:04:46.152 --> 00:04:49.383
They looked identical, but when
you actually looked at them,
65
00:04:49.413 --> 00:04:52.135
the differences gave a key
66
00:04:52.165 --> 00:04:57.579
that seemed to be, uh,
almost like an answer.
67
00:04:57.609 --> 00:05:00.298
HUGH NEWMAN: One of them was
the fact that the human being
68
00:05:00.299 --> 00:05:02.701
that we sent out, when it came
back, it had what appeared
69
00:05:02.702 --> 00:05:06.838
to look like some kind of grey alien
with a large head and a small body.
70
00:05:07.517 --> 00:05:09.307
It also had a different system
71
00:05:09.308 --> 00:05:12.965
of planets, which is suggesting
it's a different solar system.
72
00:05:12.995 --> 00:05:16.448
And it also had a different
DNA sequence as well.
73
00:05:16.770 --> 00:05:19.551
And so just these three things
really caught my attention,
74
00:05:19.552 --> 00:05:22.554
because either it was a
brilliant hoax or it was
75
00:05:22.555 --> 00:05:25.724
actually a message that came
back and was a response
76
00:05:25.725 --> 00:05:30.154
to that original SETI message
way back in the 1970s.
77
00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:37.435
COLLINS: And all of these suggested
to the crop circle community,
78
00:05:37.465 --> 00:05:42.874
and the media, that
we really had received a reply
79
00:05:42.875 --> 00:05:46.878
to the Arecibo message of 1974.
80
00:05:47.236 --> 00:05:49.477
Can we see it as a reply?
81
00:05:49.507 --> 00:05:51.780
Yes, indeed, it was.
82
00:05:51.108 --> 00:05:57.680
But actually who created it, and their
exact purpose, will remain a mystery.
83
00:05:59.151 --> 00:06:02.151
NARRATOR: Some think the
reply may have been to tell us
84
00:06:02.181 --> 00:06:04.390
that we're on the right track,
85
00:06:04.690 --> 00:06:10.969
communicating in the universal
language of the cosmos binary code.
86
00:06:11.318 --> 00:06:15.240
A German mathematician,
Gottfried Leibniz, is credited
87
00:06:15.241 --> 00:06:19.344
with defining binary
code in the 17th century.
88
00:06:19.642 --> 00:06:24.132
In turn, Leibniz is said to have
credited his inspiration
89
00:06:24.162 --> 00:06:29.651
to the 5,000-year-old Chinese text of
I Ching, an ancient oracle code
90
00:06:29.681 --> 00:06:32.972
used to communicate divine guidance.
91
00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:35.324
DOMINIC STEAVU-BALINT: The
I Ching is a kind of cryptic
92
00:06:35.354 --> 00:06:39.491
oracular inscription that you're
supposed to decipher,
93
00:06:39.521 --> 00:06:43.368
and it was heavily used
in divination in early China.
94
00:06:43.684 --> 00:06:47.189
The numerical symbols, or
values, are actually tied
95
00:06:47.219 --> 00:06:52.543
to a semi-mythical figure
by the name of Fu Xi...
96
00:06:52.573 --> 00:06:58.650
who is perhaps the earliest
legendary ruler of China.
97
00:06:59.323 --> 00:07:01.868
TSOUKALOS: The history, or
origin, of the I Ching
98
00:07:01.898 --> 00:07:07.492
is very interesting because it is said
that this knowledge was imparted
99
00:07:07.493 --> 00:07:11.297
on Fu Xi by an otherworldly being.
100
00:07:15.330 --> 00:07:20.763
NARRATOR: According to ancient Chinese
myth, Fu Xi lived around 3000 B.C.
101
00:07:20.793 --> 00:07:24.243
He and his sister were the sole
survivors of a great flood,
102
00:07:24.273 --> 00:07:27.679
and together they repopulated the Earth.
103
00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:32.289
COLLINS: And it was said that
one day he was on the Yellow River,
104
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.680
um, and a water dragon appeared to him,
105
00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:43.396
and that on the back of this water dragon
was revealed to him the eight trigrams.
106
00:07:43.426 --> 00:07:47.565
NARRATOR: These eight trigrams
are the foundation of the I Ching.
107
00:07:47.566 --> 00:07:51.340
They are made up of a series
of broken and unbroken lines,
108
00:07:51.370 --> 00:07:55.240
a distinct binary code.
109
00:07:55.782 --> 00:08:01.246
CHILDRESS: Fu Xi was given
the information of the I Ching,
110
00:08:01.662 --> 00:08:05.617
what was essentially a binary code.
111
00:08:05.618 --> 00:08:11.993
It's basically proven that this
kind of mathematical binary code
112
00:08:12.230 --> 00:08:16.334
is what is going to drive
all computers in the future.
113
00:08:16.364 --> 00:08:19.143
And this is something
that extraterrestrials
114
00:08:19.173 --> 00:08:23.501
on other planets and other
galaxies must also be using.
115
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:28.606
TSOUKALOS: Some have surmised
that the idea for the binary code
116
00:08:28.636 --> 00:08:30.809
was gleaned from the I Ching.
117
00:08:30.810 --> 00:08:32.956
It's a very curious thing.
118
00:08:32.986 --> 00:08:38.282
Especially the idea that
the basics of the I Ching
119
00:08:38.283 --> 00:08:44.266
was imparted by another type of being.
120
00:08:45.650 --> 00:08:47.826
NARRATOR: Could the I Ching
have been an attempt
121
00:08:47.827 --> 00:08:52.430
by extraterrestrials to set up a
common communication language
122
00:08:52.431 --> 00:08:54.665
with mankind?
123
00:08:54.985 --> 00:08:58.503
Might this also support the
notion that the crop circles
124
00:08:58.504 --> 00:09:03.173
in Chilbolton are an actual alien
response to the signal that SETI
125
00:09:03.203 --> 00:09:07.846
sent out into the cosmos in 1974?
126
00:09:07.847 --> 00:09:11.563
And have extraterrestrials been
leaving messages here on Earth
127
00:09:11.593 --> 00:09:16.678
for us to discover for thousands
of years, as ancient astronaut
128
00:09:16.708 --> 00:09:19.658
theorists contend?
129
00:09:19.659 --> 00:09:23.395
Perhaps further clues can
be found by examining other
130
00:09:23.396 --> 00:09:26.731
mysterious symbols that have
been discovered carved into
131
00:09:26.732 --> 00:09:29.702
rock all over the world.
132
00:09:32.273 --> 00:09:37.700
NARRATOR: Washington, D.C., May 2014.
133
00:09:37.730 --> 00:09:42.490
NASA researchers, in conjunction
with SETI scientists,
134
00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:46.253
publish a manual enlisting
archaeologists and anthropologists
135
00:09:46.254 --> 00:09:51.459
in the search for evidence of
extraterrestrial communication.
136
00:09:52.795 --> 00:09:56.619
The 330-page document,
entitled "Archaeology,
137
00:09:56.649 --> 00:10:00.155
Anthropology and
Interstellar Communication,"
138
00:10:00.185 --> 00:10:05.422
details means and methods,
beyond binary code and radio signals,
139
00:10:05.452 --> 00:10:08.414
that scientists
should consider as potential
140
00:10:08.444 --> 00:10:11.946
communication from extraterrestrials.
141
00:10:12.514 --> 00:10:16.283
Singled out in the document are
rock art and carvings,
142
00:10:16.284 --> 00:10:21.210
including the Neolithic petroglyphs
of Northumberland, England.
143
00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:24.861
Although the document does not
directly attribute the art
144
00:10:24.891 --> 00:10:28.829
to extraterrestrials, it does
propose the possibility
145
00:10:28.830 --> 00:10:34.401
that it could be tied
to otherworldly communication.
146
00:10:34.402 --> 00:10:39.322
CHILDRESS: There are
petroglyphs and other rock art
147
00:10:39.352 --> 00:10:44.149
that are actually quite
similar all over the Earth.
148
00:10:45.246 --> 00:10:50.898
We have to wonder if there's not
some parallel that's going on.
149
00:10:50.928 --> 00:10:53.997
TSOUKALOS: I think that we
have to start looking at these
150
00:10:54.270 --> 00:11:01.308
symbols and ask, how did
it originate and from where?
151
00:11:06.145 --> 00:11:08.680
NARRATOR: Roswell, New Mexico.
152
00:11:08.626 --> 00:11:11.554
September 4, 2004.
153
00:11:11.584 --> 00:11:13.400
154
00:11:13.930 --> 00:11:17.110
While tracking deer in the
desert, just 11 miles
155
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.101
from the famous Roswell crash site,
Robert Ridge came across
156
00:11:21.131 --> 00:11:25.575
an object sticking out of the sand a small,
157
00:11:25.605 --> 00:11:29.917
triangular-shaped rock that is
completely uniform in color and
158
00:11:29.947 --> 00:11:32.893
has a circular design on top
of it that isn't etched
159
00:11:32.894 --> 00:11:37.272
into the rock, but
actually protrudes from it.
160
00:11:39.997 --> 00:11:42.610
ROBERT RIDGE: Thought it was really
cool when I first picked it up.
161
00:11:42.640 --> 00:11:46.130
Um, then got it to the truck,
162
00:11:46.430 --> 00:11:49.243
brushed it off, and then I
was, like, you know, in awe.
163
00:11:51.244 --> 00:11:53.483
You know, I was, like, pinching
myself. What is this?
164
00:11:53.614 --> 00:11:56.917
I thought it was very unique
and very special right off
165
00:11:56.918 --> 00:11:59.953
the get-go, and I still do.
166
00:12:00.658 --> 00:12:03.694
NARRATOR: The Roswell Rock,
as it has come to be known,
167
00:12:03.724 --> 00:12:08.595
measures roughly one-and-a-half
inches thick by two inches wide.
168
00:12:08.596 --> 00:12:11.665
Meticulously etched out of the
face of the triangular stone
169
00:12:11.968 --> 00:12:15.100
are circles, and crescents.
170
00:12:15.418 --> 00:12:19.239
Robert Ridge is convinced that
this symbol is meant to convey
171
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:24.405
a message, and after studying the
rock, he discovered an uncanny
172
00:12:24.435 --> 00:12:29.854
correlation between the symbols
and the magnetism of the stone.
173
00:12:30.307 --> 00:12:32.619
RIDGE: We found the rock
has magnetic properties.
174
00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:36.756
A friend of mine kept hounding
me about it, and he finally
175
00:12:36.757 --> 00:12:41.495
brought a magnet of his own,
and said, "Here, do this."
176
00:12:41.496 --> 00:12:45.966
So, we did, and we found out
that it has, uh...
177
00:12:45.996 --> 00:12:47.694
It's pretty cool.
178
00:13:01.651 --> 00:13:03.522
NARRATOR: But with all the
strange qualities
179
00:13:03.552 --> 00:13:07.253
that the Roswell Rock possesses,
what researchers find
180
00:13:07.283 --> 00:13:11.791
most fascinating is that the design
protruding from its surface
181
00:13:11.792 --> 00:13:16.531
has also been found in England,
nearly 5,000 miles away.
182
00:13:18.833 --> 00:13:21.145
DAVID WILCOCK: The pattern
of the sun and moon inside
183
00:13:21.175 --> 00:13:26.278
the circle that we see on
the rock is precisely the same
184
00:13:26.308 --> 00:13:33.488
as what we see in a crop circle formation
dating to 1996 in southern England.
185
00:13:35.249 --> 00:13:37.870
NARRATOR: The crop circle
appeared eight years before
186
00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:42.188
Robert Ridge discovered the
Roswell Rock, a fact that
187
00:13:42.189 --> 00:13:47.160
has led some to suggest the rock
is simply a manmade copy.
188
00:13:47.769 --> 00:13:50.163
RIDGE: One of my best friends
said it looks like
189
00:13:50.164 --> 00:13:53.667
a hippie made it and
threw it out in the desert.
190
00:13:53.668 --> 00:13:55.669
So I wanted to examine it.
191
00:13:55.670 --> 00:14:01.439
We did a 3-D CAT scan of the
rock, and that's how we found out
192
00:14:01.469 --> 00:14:02.943
it hasn't been painted.
193
00:14:02.944 --> 00:14:05.529
This hasn't been stuck
to the top of the rock.
194
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.178
It's not an appliqué.
It's part of the rock.
195
00:14:08.208 --> 00:14:10.947
It doesn't have a magnet inside.
196
00:14:11.284 --> 00:14:14.685
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists also contend
197
00:14:14.715 --> 00:14:18.925
that if someone had made the rock as a
hoax, it's unlikely they would
198
00:14:18.926 --> 00:14:23.830
have left it half-buried in the middle
of the desert where it may never be found.
199
00:14:24.660 --> 00:14:27.267
But what has truly convinced
Robert, and many others,
200
00:14:27.268 --> 00:14:31.605
that the rock is not a manmade
fabrication is a comparison
201
00:14:31.606 --> 00:14:33.740
that was done under a microscope
202
00:14:33.741 --> 00:14:37.979
between the Roswell Rock
and a sandblasted replica.
203
00:14:40.810 --> 00:14:44.284
RIDGE: We started looking
at it under magnification.
204
00:14:44.285 --> 00:14:47.287
It blew me away.
205
00:14:47.288 --> 00:14:51.992
And I was like, wow! What is this?
206
00:14:52.273 --> 00:14:56.296
It's proven to be everything
I thought it was so far.
207
00:14:56.297 --> 00:14:59.699
In my opinion.
208
00:15:00.626 --> 00:15:02.969
NARRATOR: One of the first
researchers to investigate
209
00:15:02.970 --> 00:15:06.640
the connection between the Roswell
Rock and the crop circle in
210
00:15:06.641 --> 00:15:10.910
England was investigative
journalist Linda Moulton Howe.
211
00:15:11.258 --> 00:15:15.620
She is convinced that within
the design is a message.
212
00:15:16.524 --> 00:15:19.185
LINDA MOULTON HOWE: If we
are dealing with advanced
213
00:15:19.186 --> 00:15:23.548
intelligences and you assume
that throughout the universe,
214
00:15:23.578 --> 00:15:27.282
all solar systems, all galaxies,
215
00:15:27.312 --> 00:15:31.197
there have to be some,
we'll call them baselines.
216
00:15:31.198 --> 00:15:37.370
Moons, suns and skies would be
the common denominator.
217
00:15:37.777 --> 00:15:43.877
Something is trying to teach
us humans about astronomy.
218
00:15:44.589 --> 00:15:48.937
The moon and the sun and the
tracking of the symbols
219
00:15:48.967 --> 00:15:54.354
this is reflecting past,
present and future.
220
00:15:54.355 --> 00:16:00.226
And that comes back to,
what is on that rock?
221
00:16:00.227 --> 00:16:04.831
Well, some people would
say that that is a date.
222
00:16:04.832 --> 00:16:07.333
NARRATOR: A date? But why?
223
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:09.709
Could there be a message encoded
224
00:16:09.739 --> 00:16:13.142
in the design on the Roswell
Rock that reveals some
225
00:16:13.172 --> 00:16:17.178
significant turning point
that lies ahead for mankind?
226
00:16:19.313 --> 00:16:23.504
WILCOCK: It could be that the
extraterrestrials responsible
227
00:16:23.534 --> 00:16:26.574
for making crop circles which
is... I-I believe that's what's
228
00:16:26.604 --> 00:16:29.255
happening actually generated
229
00:16:29.256 --> 00:16:35.700
this rock, created this near the
Roswell crash so as to get us
230
00:16:35.730 --> 00:16:37.930
asking the right questions.
231
00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:39.399
A little bread crumb here and
232
00:16:39.400 --> 00:16:41.000
a little bread crumb there,
233
00:16:41.100 --> 00:16:44.113
and we're being brought closer
and closer to the truth.
234
00:16:47.915 --> 00:16:50.325
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the design that appears
235
00:16:50.355 --> 00:16:54.147
on the Roswell Rock and in the
crop formation in England
236
00:16:54.148 --> 00:17:00.286
is actually an attempt by extraterrestrials
to communicate with humankind?
237
00:17:00.615 --> 00:17:01.888
Might this message be trying
238
00:17:01.889 --> 00:17:06.456
to tell us something about
our future, and possibly even
239
00:17:06.486 --> 00:17:08.393
reveal the date on which these
240
00:17:08.394 --> 00:17:12.132
alien visitors plan to return?
241
00:17:12.133 --> 00:17:16.643
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the geometry
242
00:17:16.673 --> 00:17:18.400
of one of the world's
243
00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:20.624
most mysterious sites.
244
00:17:25.315 --> 00:17:27.472
NARRATOR: Nazca.
245
00:17:27.742 --> 00:17:30.725
The Ica region of Peru.
246
00:17:30.755 --> 00:17:36.561
High in this arid desert, there is
a series of precise geoglyphic formations
247
00:17:36.591 --> 00:17:42.630
that have mystified people since their
modern discovery in the 1920s.
248
00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:46.566
They are called the Nazca Lines.
249
00:17:46.596 --> 00:17:50.902
These geoglyphs appear
in many shapes and sizes.
250
00:17:50.932 --> 00:17:54.559
Some are figures of animals.
251
00:17:54.589 --> 00:17:56.322
Others are plants.
252
00:17:56.352 --> 00:18:03.656
And a few even appear to be depicting
humans or human-like beings.
253
00:18:03.686 --> 00:18:08.358
And all of them were made on
a scale to be seen from above.
254
00:18:12.414 --> 00:18:15.626
TSOUKALOS: The only true
way with which you can
255
00:18:15.652 --> 00:18:19.918
appreciate the entire
scope is from the sky.
256
00:18:19.948 --> 00:18:22.230
And so the stories behind them
257
00:18:22.530 --> 00:18:26.908
as well, to this day, are
maintained very clearly.
258
00:18:26.938 --> 00:18:31.647
It's not meant to be seen from
the ground, only by the gods,
259
00:18:31.648 --> 00:18:35.385
and the gods dwell up in the skies.
260
00:18:38.681 --> 00:18:41.459
NARRATOR: But for some
ancient astronaut theorists,
261
00:18:41.485 --> 00:18:46.290
even more fascinating is what
lies 100 miles to the north
262
00:18:46.590 --> 00:18:48.294
on the Cajamarquilla plain.
263
00:18:49.733 --> 00:18:53.636
Here, thousands of holes of
varying dimensions and depths
264
00:18:53.666 --> 00:18:57.344
have been dug into a mountain
range in a pattern that runs
265
00:18:57.374 --> 00:19:01.477
north and south for almost two miles.
266
00:19:02.585 --> 00:19:05.912
This mysterious formation
has baffled archeologists
267
00:19:05.942 --> 00:19:11.148
for decades, and like the Nazca
Lines, the holes can only
268
00:19:11.178 --> 00:19:16.692
be appreciated in their entirety
from high above the ground.
269
00:19:17.986 --> 00:19:21.508
TSOUKALOS: In the mountains of
Peru, we have what's commonly
270
00:19:21.538 --> 00:19:24.470
referred to as the Band of Holes.
271
00:19:24.942 --> 00:19:28.459
It is one of the coolest places
in relation to the ancient
272
00:19:28.489 --> 00:19:33.323
astronaut theory, because who in
their right mind would go ahead
273
00:19:33.353 --> 00:19:35.679
and dig all these holes?
274
00:19:36.538 --> 00:19:38.914
For what?
275
00:19:39.329 --> 00:19:44.399
ROBERT SCHOCH: They're an incredible
mystery, a very long-lived mystery.
276
00:19:44.429 --> 00:19:47.439
Some people think it looks like
some kind of machine was running
277
00:19:47.469 --> 00:19:49.708
over the territory.
278
00:19:49.911 --> 00:19:54.657
Some people think it was some kind
of systematic mining operation.
279
00:19:54.687 --> 00:19:58.133
Some people say it was just
pothunters, you know, looting,
280
00:19:58.163 --> 00:20:00.170
looking for burials.
281
00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:04.740
None of the explanations make good sense.
282
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:08.237
NARRATOR: While the Band
of Holes continues to defy
283
00:20:08.267 --> 00:20:12.100
explanation, some ancient
astronaut theorists believe
284
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.583
it may represent a type of message.
285
00:20:15.189 --> 00:20:21.425
A message that can also be found
at another site 6,000 miles away.
286
00:20:25.816 --> 00:20:28.802
The northwest coast of France.
287
00:20:30.760 --> 00:20:35.575
Here, just south of Brittany,
lie the legendary Carnac stones.
288
00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:41.186
An arrangement of over 3,000
megalithic rocks that stretch
289
00:20:41.216 --> 00:20:44.889
for more than two miles
across the countryside.
290
00:20:47.101 --> 00:20:51.754
NEWMAN: The megaliths of Carnac
in Brittany are just amazing.
291
00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:56.250
Some of them stand
about 30 or 40 feet tall.
292
00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:01.375
There are multiple avenues of
stones going right over hills.
293
00:21:01.405 --> 00:21:05.298
And no one's really worked out
exactly what their purpose is.
294
00:21:08.169 --> 00:21:10.579
NARRATOR: Like the Band of Holes in Peru,
295
00:21:10.609 --> 00:21:14.510
the Carnac stones continue
to defy explanation.
296
00:21:15.602 --> 00:21:19.103
But ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that the clue
297
00:21:19.133 --> 00:21:23.800
to understanding both mysterious
sites might be found
298
00:21:23.110 --> 00:21:26.100
by comparing them side by side.
299
00:21:29.416 --> 00:21:33.108
The Band of Holes runs for
approximately two miles.
300
00:21:33.521 --> 00:21:35.982
So do the Carnac stones.
301
00:21:37.634 --> 00:21:40.508
The width of the Band
of Holes measures eight
302
00:21:40.534 --> 00:21:45.441
holes across, occasionally
deviating by one or two holes.
303
00:21:45.442 --> 00:21:49.646
This too is the case
with the Carnac stones.
304
00:21:49.676 --> 00:21:55.494
And when viewed from high above, the
layout of the two sites is eerily similar.
305
00:21:57.230 --> 00:21:59.192
CHILDRESS: It would appear, in my mind,
306
00:21:59.218 --> 00:22:02.775
that there's some connection that's between
307
00:22:02.805 --> 00:22:08.193
Carnac, France and Peru, and a
special code put there for us
308
00:22:08.223 --> 00:22:14.739
to find at-at a future time when
we could understand these codes.
309
00:22:16.473 --> 00:22:19.543
NARRATOR: Some ancient astronaut
theorists have even gone
310
00:22:19.569 --> 00:22:22.809
so far as to suggest that the Band of Holes
311
00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:27.171
may have once held some
sort of standing totems,
312
00:22:27.201 --> 00:22:31.153
similar to what is believed
to have existed at Stonehenge.
313
00:22:32.230 --> 00:22:34.757
And that those totems may have disappeared
314
00:22:34.758 --> 00:22:37.760
because they were made of wood.
315
00:22:38.791 --> 00:22:41.215
WILCOCK: There are a series
of post-holes that were found
316
00:22:41.245 --> 00:22:45.920
all around Stonehenge, in which
you can stick sticks in the holes.
317
00:22:45.950 --> 00:22:50.261
But they degraded over time and
it gradually crumbled away,
318
00:22:50.291 --> 00:22:58.388
and perhaps the same thing happened in the
Nazca Plain in Peru with these holes.
319
00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:03.302
NARRATOR: Could there really
be a connection between
320
00:23:03.332 --> 00:23:07.546
the Carnac stones in France and
the Band of Holes in Peru,
321
00:23:07.576 --> 00:23:10.659
as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?
322
00:23:11.814 --> 00:23:15.664
And if so, is it meant to convey a message?
323
00:23:17.217 --> 00:23:22.552
WILCOCK: If you look at the stones
at Carnac, you see curious alignments.
324
00:23:22.889 --> 00:23:27.420
And these alignments actually
duplicate the Pythagorean triangle.
325
00:23:27.730 --> 00:23:32.184
But this appears to have
happened as much as 3,000 years
326
00:23:32.214 --> 00:23:37.264
before Pythagoras allegedly
invented the Pythagorean triangle.
327
00:23:38.889 --> 00:23:43.174
What you're seeing is remarkable
mathematical symbolism and
328
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:47.925
encoding messages that seem to
suggest somebody wanted us
329
00:23:47.955 --> 00:23:54.218
to know it was built with technology
far in excess of what we have now.
330
00:23:57.136 --> 00:23:59.685
ERICH VON DANIKEN: Some
thousands of years in the past,
331
00:23:59.715 --> 00:24:04.742
the extraterrestrials who visited
our planet left a proof behind.
332
00:24:04.772 --> 00:24:10.156
They knew that in the far future the
humans will see these stone patterns.
333
00:24:10.186 --> 00:24:12.854
They will realize that
this is high geometry.
334
00:24:12.855 --> 00:24:15.117
And sooner or later,
the questions comes up,
335
00:24:15.147 --> 00:24:20.280
have we maybe been visited
by beings from outer space?
336
00:24:20.787 --> 00:24:24.316
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
these two ancient sites are both
337
00:24:24.346 --> 00:24:29.337
conveying a message left
behind by extraterrestrials?
338
00:24:29.575 --> 00:24:35.744
And was it their intention that it
would one day be deciphered by mankind?
339
00:24:35.745 --> 00:24:40.616
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and claim that further
340
00:24:40.646 --> 00:24:45.200
evidence can be found with
another alien message,
341
00:24:45.210 --> 00:24:48.546
one that is encoded in the Bible.
342
00:24:51.333 --> 00:24:55.556
NARRATOR: London, England. 1971.
343
00:24:56.652 --> 00:24:58.576
After years of studying ancient
344
00:24:58.606 --> 00:25:02.875
philosophical teachings relating
to the Egyptian mystery schools,
345
00:25:02.905 --> 00:25:08.352
author John Michell unearths
evidence of an ancient code.
346
00:25:08.382 --> 00:25:12.653
A numerical and geometric code
seemingly embedded not only
347
00:25:12.683 --> 00:25:18.328
in the sacred structures of ancient
Egypt, but also in the Hebrew world,
348
00:25:18.358 --> 00:25:22.593
and in the plans for the
heavenly city of New Jerusalem.
349
00:25:23.453 --> 00:25:25.796
McGOWAN: John Michell was a
scholar, he was a mystic,
350
00:25:25.797 --> 00:25:28.842
he was a genius and
a very, very prolific author.
351
00:25:28.872 --> 00:25:35.666
He had an incredible understanding
of Earth geometry and geography.
352
00:25:35.696 --> 00:25:41.679
But what John Michell is most famous
for is the New Jerusalem diagram.
353
00:25:42.342 --> 00:25:44.221
NARRATOR: By carefully
examining the physical
354
00:25:44.251 --> 00:25:51.445
description of New Jerusalem in Revelation
21, Michell uncovered a sacred design.
355
00:25:51.475 --> 00:25:55.829
At the core of Michell's diagram
is the squaring of the circle,
356
00:25:55.859 --> 00:26:00.740
and the division of the circle
into equal sectors a Zodiac wheel.
357
00:26:00.770 --> 00:26:04.398
And the positioning of 12 gates
to the heavenly city,
358
00:26:04.428 --> 00:26:09.840
three on each side of the square,
representing the 12 tribes of Israel.
359
00:26:10.111 --> 00:26:13.208
CHILDRESS: This is also a geometric figure,
360
00:26:13.238 --> 00:26:19.262
and John Michell claimed that this
would be, uh, how the New Jerusalem
361
00:26:19.292 --> 00:26:21.474
was to be built in the future.
362
00:26:22.300 --> 00:26:27.772
And that all this was encoded
in Revelations in a mathematical
363
00:26:27.802 --> 00:26:30.306
geometric way.
364
00:26:30.336 --> 00:26:33.720
NARRATOR: In his book
The Dimensions of Paradise,
365
00:26:33.102 --> 00:26:39.136
Michell proposed that this sacred geometry
represented the order of the universe.
366
00:26:40.129 --> 00:26:42.740
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that
367
00:26:42.741 --> 00:26:48.517
this exact same geometrical concept
can be found halfway around the world
368
00:26:48.547 --> 00:26:51.460
in Nazca, Peru.
369
00:26:54.824 --> 00:26:58.731
Here in the desert, among the
many plant and animal glyphs,
370
00:26:58.761 --> 00:27:01.589
is a geometric design that
looks much different
371
00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:03.867
from the rest of the Nazca lines.
372
00:27:03.897 --> 00:27:07.298
It is called the Sun-Star and Cross.
373
00:27:08.555 --> 00:27:12.447
CHILDRESS: The Nazca Sun-Star
glyph is one of the most
374
00:27:12.477 --> 00:27:15.176
interesting glyphs to be seen at Nazca.
375
00:27:15.206 --> 00:27:19.623
And, in fact, because it's in
a remote area, the Palpa Valley,
376
00:27:19.653 --> 00:27:22.303
it's not actually seen by many tourists.
377
00:27:22.333 --> 00:27:25.573
But it is by far, uh,
the strangest and most
378
00:27:25.603 --> 00:27:31.889
mathematically precise of all
of the-the diagrams at Nazca.
379
00:27:32.748 --> 00:27:35.856
NARRATOR: The Sun-Star and
Cross glyph is a precisely
380
00:27:35.886 --> 00:27:40.765
formed star polygon made of two
squares surrounding a perfect circle,
381
00:27:40.795 --> 00:27:44.000
all sharing the same center and diameter.
382
00:27:44.300 --> 00:27:49.306
Inside the grid are wheels within
wheels and squares within squares.
383
00:27:49.958 --> 00:27:54.405
The design mirrors not only
New Jerusalem's sacred geometry,
384
00:27:54.435 --> 00:27:57.788
but also offers up yet another connection.
385
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:00.283
CHILDRESS: When you look at it,
386
00:28:00.313 --> 00:28:05.823
it's very obviously
what is called a "mandala."
387
00:28:06.594 --> 00:28:10.940
Or a "yantra" in ancient India or Tibet.
388
00:28:10.348 --> 00:28:12.388
What a mandala,
389
00:28:12.418 --> 00:28:20.843
yantra glyph is doing in remote
desert of Peru is very interesting.
390
00:28:21.685 --> 00:28:24.633
TSOUKALOS: It's a very sacred symbol.
391
00:28:24.663 --> 00:28:30.714
It's this idea of being connected
with the realm of the gods.
392
00:28:31.360 --> 00:28:33.851
And then we have
to once again ask ourselves,
393
00:28:33.852 --> 00:28:36.561
well, what was the realm of the gods?
394
00:28:37.656 --> 00:28:41.959
It's very interesting to note
that, seen from the sky,
395
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:47.116
it is very similar, not identical but
very similar to, for example,
396
00:28:47.146 --> 00:28:51.869
the layout of the temples at Borobudur.
397
00:28:52.731 --> 00:28:54.872
NARRATOR: The Buddhist temple of Borobudur
398
00:28:54.873 --> 00:29:00.997
lies over 11,000 miles west of Nazca in
Indonesia, and is laid out
399
00:29:01.270 --> 00:29:06.877
with a series of precise circles within
a platform of perfect squares.
400
00:29:09.310 --> 00:29:12.562
TSOUKALOS: One has to wonder
if somehow all these sites
401
00:29:12.592 --> 00:29:14.623
are connected because that is what
402
00:29:14.653 --> 00:29:19.469
the ancient astronaut theory
excels in, that people in our
403
00:29:19.499 --> 00:29:22.632
ancient past were not isolated.
404
00:29:22.633 --> 00:29:25.435
They had contact with each other.
405
00:29:25.436 --> 00:29:29.741
In the end, there is an
extraterrestrial connection.
406
00:29:31.876 --> 00:29:35.991
COLLINS: Is this something that
was taught by the ancients
407
00:29:36.170 --> 00:29:39.816
from one culture to the rest and
they incorporated these
408
00:29:39.817 --> 00:29:42.809
divine cities, these New Jerusalems?
409
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.111
Or is this something that may
have been given to us by some
410
00:29:46.141 --> 00:29:49.426
divine intelligence?
411
00:29:49.427 --> 00:29:53.130
NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the New Jerusalem design,
412
00:29:53.131 --> 00:29:58.526
the Sun-Star and Cross of Nazca,
the Temple of Borobudur,
413
00:29:58.556 --> 00:30:03.445
and other geometric structures around
the world are encoded with similar
414
00:30:03.475 --> 00:30:06.610
mathematic and geometric principles?
415
00:30:06.909 --> 00:30:11.185
And if so, are they part of an
alien message that is meant
416
00:30:11.215 --> 00:30:14.751
not only to inform us
of our celestial origins,
417
00:30:14.752 --> 00:30:17.854
but to guide us towards a reconnection?
418
00:30:18.459 --> 00:30:21.625
Perhaps a key to understanding
the relevance of this
419
00:30:21.626 --> 00:30:26.820
sacred code can be found by examining
the astrological alignments
420
00:30:26.850 --> 00:30:30.440
of mysterious sites throughout the world.
421
00:30:34.737 --> 00:30:36.811
NARRATOR: Isolated in the Pacific Ocean,
422
00:30:36.837 --> 00:30:39.972
more than 2,000 miles
off the coast of Chile,
423
00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:45.622
lies one of the most mysterious
places on Earth, Easter Island.
424
00:30:46.387 --> 00:30:52.326
This tiny landmass is home
to nearly 900 monolithic stone statues
425
00:30:52.356 --> 00:30:55.545
carved out of volcanic rock.
426
00:30:57.796 --> 00:31:01.990
2,564 miles to the East,
427
00:31:01.129 --> 00:31:05.637
isolated 7,000 feet above
sea level, are the ruins
428
00:31:05.638 --> 00:31:10.243
of a mysterious lost city of the
Inca, called Macchu Pichu.
429
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:17.494
And 10,742 miles away, on the
opposite side of the world,
430
00:31:17.524 --> 00:31:22.254
lies Mohenjo-daro, a site where
ancient astronaut theorists
431
00:31:22.255 --> 00:31:27.394
believe a nuclear explosion
may have occurred in the distant past.
432
00:31:35.202 --> 00:31:39.216
Curiously, as discovered
by researcher Jim Alison,
433
00:31:39.246 --> 00:31:44.576
these three sites fall in a straight line
around the center of the Earth.
434
00:31:45.179 --> 00:31:48.580
And with just a minor
margin of error, it also runs
435
00:31:48.581 --> 00:31:53.585
through a number of other
mysterious ancient sites.
436
00:31:54.610 --> 00:31:56.828
McGOWAN: We have the Giza plateau,
437
00:31:56.854 --> 00:32:01.326
we have Nazca, we have
Angkor Wat in Cambodia.
438
00:32:01.327 --> 00:32:05.104
All of these extraordinarily
important, powerful, sacred
439
00:32:05.134 --> 00:32:08.167
places were all built in a straight line.
440
00:32:08.168 --> 00:32:11.336
Now, this cannot be an accident.
441
00:32:11.337 --> 00:32:14.706
This cannot be a coincidence.
442
00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:20.443
NARRATOR: The line also encompasses
the ancient Sumerian city of Ur;
443
00:32:20.473 --> 00:32:27.486
the ruins of Petra, Jordan; and Persepolis,
the capital city of ancient Persia.
444
00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:29.832
TSOUKALOS: There are all
these different sites
445
00:32:29.862 --> 00:32:34.570
that seem to line up, even if it's a
minute degree of deviation,
446
00:32:34.870 --> 00:32:37.831
it's never a massive distance from that line.
447
00:32:42.212 --> 00:32:45.247
NARRATOR: How is it that
so many important ancient sites
448
00:32:45.273 --> 00:32:48.640
across the globe all follow this line?
449
00:32:48.641 --> 00:32:52.444
What could possibly
explain this coincidence?
450
00:32:52.843 --> 00:32:57.124
TSOUKALOS: This is bizarre
because only a people capable
451
00:32:57.154 --> 00:32:59.785
of flight, or at least
452
00:32:59.786 --> 00:33:04.523
being able to look at maps,
would be able to do such a thing.
453
00:33:04.524 --> 00:33:08.886
Could it be because some
of those points were in fact
454
00:33:08.916 --> 00:33:14.733
places where our ancestors made
contact with extraterrestrials?
455
00:33:15.961 --> 00:33:18.652
McGOWAN: There has to be
something important
456
00:33:18.682 --> 00:33:23.275
in the location and the geography, in
the geometry that indicated
457
00:33:23.276 --> 00:33:26.291
to our ancestors that
this is sacred ground,
458
00:33:26.321 --> 00:33:31.735
that this is a powerful place
to put these sacred sites.
459
00:33:35.865 --> 00:33:38.772
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists say evidence
460
00:33:38.798 --> 00:33:43.206
of extraterrestrial intervention
can also be found by looking
461
00:33:43.236 --> 00:33:48.967
at how early humans aligned their
most important sites with the stars.
462
00:33:49.253 --> 00:33:52.504
At the Giza Plateau in Egypt,
the layout of the three
463
00:33:52.505 --> 00:33:56.320
Great Pyramids aligns perfectly
with the belt stars
464
00:33:56.350 --> 00:33:59.116
of the constellation Orion.
465
00:34:01.988 --> 00:34:05.268
ROBERT BAUVAL: Orion's Belt
is made up of two bright stars
466
00:34:05.298 --> 00:34:10.300
and a third dimmer star, which
is offset a bit to the left.
467
00:34:10.600 --> 00:34:13.498
It's exactly what you see on
the ground two large pyramids
468
00:34:13.528 --> 00:34:16.862
in alignment with a third pyramid offset.
469
00:34:16.863 --> 00:34:23.335
It looks like they wanted to build
stars on the ground, if you like.
470
00:34:23.336 --> 00:34:26.649
NARRATOR: Also aligned with
these stars are the ancient city
471
00:34:26.679 --> 00:34:32.975
of Teotihuacan in Central Mexico...
472
00:34:33.500 --> 00:34:36.688
the Hopi villages in
the American Southwest...
473
00:34:39.588 --> 00:34:43.355
and the Thornborough Henges, a
Neolithic landscape complex
474
00:34:43.356 --> 00:34:47.250
in Northern England.
475
00:34:47.528 --> 00:34:51.137
Could it be merely coincidence
that so many ancient cultures
476
00:34:51.167 --> 00:34:54.291
throughout the world, that
presumably had no contact
477
00:34:54.321 --> 00:34:57.804
with each other, all built
their most important sites
478
00:34:57.834 --> 00:35:02.000
by using celestial alignments?
479
00:35:05.203 --> 00:35:08.390
WILCOCK: Look, this is not
something that can be explained
480
00:35:08.690 --> 00:35:10.620
away as a coincidence.
481
00:35:11.626 --> 00:35:14.362
It's time for us to responsibly
take a look at what
482
00:35:14.392 --> 00:35:18.623
we're really seeing and understand
that there is a worldwide,
483
00:35:18.624 --> 00:35:25.160
intelligent, highly mathematically
precise plan behind these designs.
484
00:35:26.566 --> 00:35:30.635
CHILDRESS: The idea that even
ancient buildings'
485
00:35:30.636 --> 00:35:34.539
are encoded with information
and that where they sit
486
00:35:34.540 --> 00:35:40.400
on the planet is also part of
an intricate code
487
00:35:40.340 --> 00:35:47.591
is a fascinating idea, and one that
we're just beginning to understand.
488
00:35:51.175 --> 00:35:53.619
NARRATOR: Could it be that
the curious location
489
00:35:53.645 --> 00:35:56.948
and alignments of ancient
sacred sites were actually
490
00:35:56.978 --> 00:36:00.699
meant to serve as a form of communication?
491
00:36:01.558 --> 00:36:05.302
And might the purpose have been
to leave behind a hidden message
492
00:36:05.332 --> 00:36:08.703
for future generations to discover?
493
00:36:10.619 --> 00:36:13.687
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
494
00:36:13.688 --> 00:36:18.920
and suggest that otherworldly messages
can be found not only hidden
495
00:36:18.950 --> 00:36:23.817
throughout the globe, but even
within the human body.
496
00:36:28.494 --> 00:36:32.168
NARRATOR: The University
of Cambridge, England.
497
00:36:32.198 --> 00:36:35.106
March 1953.
498
00:36:35.136 --> 00:36:37.604
American biologist James Watson
499
00:36:37.991 --> 00:36:41.108
and English physicist
Francis Crick discover
500
00:36:41.109 --> 00:36:45.178
the three-dimensional
double-helix shape of DNA.
501
00:36:46.520 --> 00:36:49.600
This scientific breakthrough
is a giant leap forward
502
00:36:49.630 --> 00:36:54.540
in unraveling the mystery
of mankind's origins.
503
00:36:54.670 --> 00:36:59.389
But our genetic code proves to
be so complex that Francis Crick
504
00:36:59.419 --> 00:37:05.200
proposes it did not develop by
chance, and also that it is not
505
00:37:05.500 --> 00:37:06.929
of this Earth.
506
00:37:08.269 --> 00:37:12.940
CHILDRESS: Sir Francis Crick
said that the human genome
507
00:37:12.941 --> 00:37:17.678
is-is not something that could
have occurred randomly,
508
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:23.283
and that therefore, we were somehow
programmed specifically
509
00:37:23.284 --> 00:37:29.623
by extraterrestrials, it would seem,
many thousands of years ago.
510
00:37:29.868 --> 00:37:34.361
HENRY: The message is, is that
our DNA didn't come from Earth.
511
00:37:34.362 --> 00:37:37.970
In fact, their research suggests
that our DNA is billions
512
00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:42.685
of years old, and that we were
in fact seeded from the stars.
513
00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:48.709
WILCOCK: The DNA molecule
itself is the equivalent of
514
00:37:48.710 --> 00:37:51.642
the entire Encyclopedia Britannica
being dropped out
515
00:37:51.672 --> 00:37:55.349
of a helicopter, chopped up
into individual words
516
00:37:55.350 --> 00:37:59.252
and then as the words fall out
of the helicopter like confetti,
517
00:37:59.253 --> 00:38:03.223
that they all arrange into the
correct order that they were in.
518
00:38:03.224 --> 00:38:07.633
That's the madness that
is required to even speculate
519
00:38:07.663 --> 00:38:11.723
that DNA could have evolved
randomly on Earth.
520
00:38:14.202 --> 00:38:19.485
NARRATOR: Is it possible that DNA
is an intelligently designed code?
521
00:38:19.515 --> 00:38:23.143
And if so, might there be
even more information
522
00:38:23.144 --> 00:38:28.248
imbedded within our genetic makeup
than scientists have yet to find?
523
00:38:29.646 --> 00:38:31.752
ANTONIS ROKAS: As an information molecule,
524
00:38:31.753 --> 00:38:35.811
I think DNA is much more attractive
than radio signals and so on.
525
00:38:35.841 --> 00:38:39.613
It lives longer, it has the
ability to self-replicate,
526
00:38:39.643 --> 00:38:43.370
and it has an astronomically
tiny error rate.
527
00:38:43.670 --> 00:38:47.583
And so these three properties
make DNA a unique storage device.
528
00:38:47.613 --> 00:38:52.105
So, if you want to store a
secret or a stamp of the maker,
529
00:38:52.106 --> 00:38:54.376
DNA would be your choice.
530
00:38:57.624 --> 00:38:59.562
NARRATOR: Could it be
that there are messages
531
00:38:59.592 --> 00:39:03.435
actually imprinted right
in our genetic makeup?
532
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:09.518
Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes, and contend that part
533
00:39:09.548 --> 00:39:12.742
of that message may be
contained within the universal
534
00:39:12.772 --> 00:39:17.667
structure of DNA, which consists
of a series of three molecule
535
00:39:17.697 --> 00:39:22.329
combinations known as codons or triplets.
536
00:39:23.901 --> 00:39:26.968
They say that it is much
more than coincidence
537
00:39:26.998 --> 00:39:31.344
that three is also the number
of stars in Orion's belt...
538
00:39:31.755 --> 00:39:36.817
the number of pyramids on the Giza
Plateau that line up with those stars...
539
00:39:36.818 --> 00:39:42.326
and the basic geometry behind
the pyramid shape itself.
540
00:39:43.123 --> 00:39:47.194
WILCOCK: We have a very
fascinating connection to data
541
00:39:47.195 --> 00:39:49.798
points saying the same thing.
542
00:39:51.900 --> 00:39:56.571
Number three is where you
begin building geometry.
543
00:39:57.722 --> 00:40:00.840
The DNA molecule has an
underlying geometry to it.
544
00:40:00.870 --> 00:40:04.911
Geometry is intrinsic to the
design of the universe,
545
00:40:04.912 --> 00:40:09.323
and that the number three builds
the triangle, the triangle being
546
00:40:09.353 --> 00:40:12.319
the building block of all other geometry.
547
00:40:13.192 --> 00:40:15.367
Maybe we'll learn some
very interesting things
548
00:40:15.368 --> 00:40:19.910
once we can correctly decipher the message.
549
00:40:21.262 --> 00:40:24.167
NARRATOR: Are there alien
messages all around us,
550
00:40:24.197 --> 00:40:31.410
hidden within elaborate designs,
embedded in geographical alignments,
551
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:33.273
carved in rock,
552
00:40:33.274 --> 00:40:38.945
etched into the landscape,
and even encoded in our DNA?
553
00:40:39.365 --> 00:40:43.135
And if so, might there be some
significance to the fact
554
00:40:43.165 --> 00:40:47.455
that we are just now beginning
to discover these messages?
555
00:40:51.487 --> 00:40:54.243
REVEREND MICHAEL CARTER: In the
Book of Daniel, there's a chapter
556
00:40:54.273 --> 00:40:58.339
that tells Daniel to seal up the
prophecies of the Hebrew scriptures.
557
00:40:58.369 --> 00:41:02.330
And it will be opened again in
the days when human beings
558
00:41:02.630 --> 00:41:05.572
are running to and fro and
knowledge will increase.
559
00:41:05.573 --> 00:41:08.542
Well, we could argue that
we're living in those days that Daniel
560
00:41:08.543 --> 00:41:11.444
was writing about.
561
00:41:11.816 --> 00:41:14.548
McGOWAN: So much of what we
know about ancient culture,
562
00:41:14.549 --> 00:41:18.318
ancient architecture,
ancient technology is encoded.
563
00:41:18.609 --> 00:41:20.921
There are codes in literature.
564
00:41:20.922 --> 00:41:25.201
We see in the New Jerusalem
diagram that there is encoding,
565
00:41:25.231 --> 00:41:28.528
again in geometry, in the architecture.
566
00:41:28.529 --> 00:41:32.199
These codes were left to us a
long, long time ago so
567
00:41:32.200 --> 00:41:38.400
that we could find our way, so that
we could remember who we are.
568
00:41:38.214 --> 00:41:43.760
CHILDRESS: Is it some kind of
message for us from the past
569
00:41:43.745 --> 00:41:47.280
that we're to decode when
we have reached a higher state
570
00:41:47.281 --> 00:41:51.923
of civilization and knowledge
that we can figure all this out?
571
00:41:52.723 --> 00:41:56.550
It would seem that we are only
just now reaching a point
572
00:41:56.580 --> 00:42:02.229
of knowledge and technology that
we can understand these codes
573
00:42:02.491 --> 00:42:07.227
and find the hidden meaning that's there.
574
00:42:11.539 --> 00:42:15.833
NARRATOR: Is it possible that the
answers to mankind's greatest questions
575
00:42:16.776 --> 00:42:19.346
where did we come from,
576
00:42:19.347 --> 00:42:23.516
why are we here, and where are we headed
577
00:42:23.517 --> 00:42:28.932
are actually all around us,
hidden in alien messages,
578
00:42:28.962 --> 00:42:32.259
waiting to be deciphered?
579
00:42:33.174 --> 00:42:37.998
Perhaps the key to decoding it all
lies in an ancient script,
580
00:42:37.999 --> 00:42:44.404
our own DNA, or something
we have yet to discover.
581
00:42:44.405 --> 00:42:48.275
And once we crack the code, we will find
582
00:42:48.276 --> 00:42:50.677
that the answers to these questions
583
00:42:50.678 --> 00:42:54.542
are far more profound
than we ever imagined.
