Some of the most compelling evidence

for the ancient astronaut theory is the fact

that we can find mysterious carvings, symbols

and structures that are strikingly similar

on opposite ends of the Earth.

Egyptian pyramids aligned with the stars of Orion's belt

match up perfectly with pyramidal structures

in Central Mexico.

A sacred symbol common to India

appears carved into the desert floor of Peru.

And a modern day crop circle in England is

an identical match for a design carved on a stone

found just outside Roswell, New Mexico.

This is not mere coincidence.

And I'm convinced that by examining these sites

and symbols, we will find that messages

have been left for us to uncover

by extraterrestrial beings.

In 1991, the United States Department of Energy

hired more than a dozen linguists, scientists

and anthropologists at a cost of about $1 million

to come up with the perfect universal symbol

to warn people about the presence of nuclear waste.

The academics behind this project believe that such

a design is necessary because thousands of years from now

our current languages and symbols

will no longer be recognizable.

Considering that we ourselves are creating symbols

to communicate a message to future humans

who may have an entirely different language system,

is it possible that beings from another part of the universe

are doing the same thing-- leaving messages for us

here on Earth in the form of mysterious symbols?

NARRATOR: Arecibo Observatory.

Puerto Rico.

November 16, 1974.

Early pioneers of SETI--

the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence--

aim the world's largest radio telescope

at a cluster of stars 25,000 light-years away

to send a transmission out into the cosmos.

The coded signal consists of binary digits--

zeros and ones-- that form a message designed

to notify other potentially advanced beings

of our existence.

This message into space,

it was encoded in what's called binary code

'cause it's the simplest around.

Listen, we're trying to send a message to the aliens,

and because you don't know anything about them,

you have to make this as obvious as possible.

Now, here's the message over here

that was actually sent in 1974.

And it starts off with teaching the ABC's to the aliens.

Well, not ABC's, the 123's because right up here

are the numbers from one to ten but in binary.

And anybody who has thought about binary

should be able to figure that out, including the aliens.

Right underneath that is this funny thing here

has the numbers one, six, seven and so forth.

Those are the atomic numbers

of the elements that make up our bodies.

Hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen,

oxygen and phosphorus.

NARRATOR: The coded message also contained information

about our DNA,

the figure of a human,

a graphic of the solar system,

and a graphic of a radio telescope.

For decades, SETI scientists wondered

if their cosmic message

would ever be received... or answered.

Then, nearly 27 years later,

there appeared to be a response.

Hampshire, England.

August 2001.

Next to the Chilbolton Radio Observatory,

two crop formations appeared in a field.

Both were unlike any other ever found.

They were both pixelated, meaning that when you're

on the ground, you couldn't perceive

what the-the crop circle was, but once from the air,

you could readily identify the pattern.

ANDREW COLLINS: One of the crop formations

that appeared at Chilbolton in 2001 was a face.

But the other one was far, far more interesting

because it greatly resembled the message

that had been sent in 1974.

[indistinct radio transmission]

There were very, very subtle differences between the two.

Um, they looked identical, but when you actually

looked at them, the differences gave a key

that seemed to be, uh... almost like an answer.

HUGH NEWMAN: One of them was the fact

that the human being that we sent out,

when it came back, it had what appeared

to look like some kind of gray alien

with a large head and a small body.

It also had a different system of planets,

which is suggesting it's a different solar system;

and also it had a different DNA sequence as well.

And so, just these three things really caught my attention

because either it was... it was a brilliant hoax

or it was actually a message that came back,

and was a response to that original SETI message

way back in the 1970s.

COLLINS: And all of these suggested

to the crop circle community and the media

that we really had received a reply

to the Arecibo message of 1974.

Can we see it as a reply?

Yes, indeed, it was.

But actually who created it

and their exact purpose will remain a mystery.

NARRATOR: Some think the reply may have been

to tell us that we were on the right track,

communicating in the universal language of the cosmos--

binary code.

A German mathematician, Gottfried Leibniz,

is credited with defining binary code in the 17th Century.

In turn, Leibniz is said to have credited

his inspiration to the 5,000-year-old Chinese text

of I Ching-- an ancient oracle code

used to communicate divine guidance.

DOMINIC STEAVU: The I Chingis a kind of cryptic

oracular inscription, uh, that you're supposed to decipher.

And it was heavily used in divination in early China.

The numerical symbols or values are actually

tied to a semi-mythical figure by the name of Fu Xi.

Who is, uh, perhaps

the earliest legendary ruler of China.

TSOUKALOS: The history

or origin of the I Ching is very interesting

because it is said that this knowledge

was imparted on Fu Xi by an otherworldly being.

NARRATOR: According to ancient Chinese myth,

Fu Xi lived around 3000 BC.

He and his sister were the sole survivors

of a great flood, and together

they repopulated the Earth.

COLLINS: And it was said that one day, um,

he was on the Yellow River,

um, and a water dragon

appeared to him, and that on the back

of this water dragon was revealed to him

the eight trigrams.

NARRATOR: These eight trigrams are the foundation

of the I Ching.

They are made up of a series of broken and unbroken lines--

a distinct binary code.

DAVID CHILDRESS: Fu Xi was given the information

of the I Ching,

what was essentially a binary code.

It's basically proven

that this kind of mathematical binary code

is what is gonna drive all computers

in the future, and this is something that

extraterrestrials on other planets and other galaxies

must also be using.

NARRATOR: Could the IChinghave been

an attempt by extraterrestrials

to set up a common communication language with mankind?

Might this also support the notion

that the crop circles in Chilbolton

are an actual alien response

to the signal that SETI sent out into the cosmos in 1974?

And have extraterrestrials been leaving messages here on Earth

for us to discover for thousands of years,

as ancient astronaut theorists contend?

Perhaps further clues can be found

by examining other mysterious symbols

that have been discovered carved into rock

all over the world.

NARRATOR: Washington D.C.

May 2014.

NASA researchers, in conjunction with SETI scientists,

publish a manual enlisting

archaeologists and anthropologists

in the search for evidence

of extraterrestrial communication.

The 330-page document entitled

"Archaeology, Anthropology and Interstellar Communication"

details means and methods--

beyond binary code and radio signals--

that scientists should consider

as potential communication from extraterrestrials.

Singled out in the document are rock art and carvings,

including the Neolithic petroglyphs

of Northumberland, England.

Although the document does not

directly attribute the art to extraterrestrials,

it does propose the possibility

that it could be tied to otherworldly communication.

Throughout the world, there are petroglyphs

and other rock art that are actually quite similar

all over the Earth.

We have to wonder if there's not

some parallel that's going on.

TSOUKALOS: I think that we have

to start looking at these symbols

and ask: How did it originate,

and from where?

NARRATOR: Roswell, New Mexico.

September 4, 2004.

[hawk screeches]

While tracking deer in the desert

just 11 miles from the famous Roswell crash site,

Robert Ridge came across an object sticking out of the sand:

a small, triangular-shaped rock

that is completely uniform in color

and has a circular design on top of it

that isn't etched into the rock,

but actually protrudes from it.

Thought it was really cool when I first picked it up.

Um... then got it to the truck,

brushed it off,

and then I was like, you know, in awe.

And I was, like, pinching myself. What is this?

I thought it was very unique and very special

right off the get-go, and I still do.

NARRATOR: The Roswell Rock, as it has come to be known,

measures roughly one and a half inches thick

by two inches wide.

Meticulously etched out of the face of the triangular stone

are circles and crescents.

Robert Ridge is convinced that this symbol

is meant to convey a message,

and after studying the rock,

he discovered an uncanny correlation between the symbols

and the magnetism of the stone.

RIDGE: We found the rock has magnetic properties.

A friend of mine kept hounding me about it.

And he finally brought a magnet of his own

and said, "Here, do this."

So we did.

And we found out that it has, uh... it's pretty cool.

NARRATOR: But with all the strange qualities

that the Roswell Rock possesses,

what researchers find most fascinating

is that the design protruding from its surface

has also been found in England,

nearly 5,000 miles away.

DAVID WILCOCK: The pattern of the sun and moon

inside a circle that we see on the rock

is precisely the same

as what we see in a crop circle formation

dating to 1996 in southern England.

NARRATOR: The crop circle appeared eight years

before Robert Ridge discovered the Roswell Rock--

a fact that has led some to suggest

the rock is simply a man-made copy.

One of my best friends said

it looks like a hippie made it and threw it out in the desert.

So I wanted to examine it.

We did a 3-D CAT scan of the rock.

And that's how we found out it hasn't been painted.

This hasn't been stuck to the top of the rock.

It's not an appliqu�.

It's a part of the rock.

It doesn't have a magnet inside.

NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists also contend

that if someone had made the rock as a hoax,

it's unlikely they would have left it half-buried

in the middle of the desert where it may never be found.

But what has truly convinced Robert-- and many others--

that the rock is not a man-made fabrication

is a comparison that was done under a microscope

between the Roswell Rock and a sandblasted replica.

RIDGE: We started looking at it under magnification.

It blew me away.

I was like, wow.

What is this?

It's proven to be

everything I thought it was so far.

In my opinion.

WILCOCK: It could be that the extraterrestrials

responsible for making crop circles--

created this near the Roswell crash

so as to get us asking the right questions.

A little bread crumb here and a little bread crumb there,

and we're being brought closer and closer to the truth.

I recently traveled to New Mexico

to examine the Roswell Rock myself,

and while I was there, I was able to convince Robert Ridge

to let us use a grinder on the rock to verify

that it is, in fact, solid rock

and not a plaster cast made from a mold or painted.

I want you to have one last chance to say,

"You know what? Maybe we shouldn't do this."

Let's do it.

-Let's do it. -TSOUKALOS: Let's do it.

You are the man, Robert.

TSOUKALOS: Wow.

Here we go.

[grinder whirring]

DOLEMAN: It's hard.

I'm gonna try one more shot at grinding

and collect the dust that comes off of there

in case we want to analyze it later.

TSOUKALOS: Robert was genuinely affected by us

grinding into the Roswell Rock.

I mean, the guy was tearing up.

Not only did we learn that the rock was not plaster--

and definitely not painted--

but Robert's reaction convinced me

that he did not devise this himself

as some kind of hoax.

I think that the Roswell Rock contains a message,

and clues as to what that message is

might be found by examining the geometry

of one of the world's most mysterious sites.

NARRATOR: Nazca.

The Ica region of Peru.

High in this arid desert,

there is a series of precise geoglyphic formations

that have mystified people

since their modern discovery in the 1920s.

They are called the Nazca Lines.

These geoglyphs appear in many shapes and sizes.

Some are figures of animals,

others are plants,

and a few even appear to be depicting humans

or human-like beings.

And all of them were made on a scale to be seen from above.

TSOUKALOS: The only true way

with which you can appreciate the entire scope

is from the sky.

And so the stories behind them as well,

to this day,

are maintained very clearly.

It's not meant to be seen from the ground.

Only by the gods,

and the gods dwell up in the skies.

NARRATOR: But for some ancient astronaut theorists,

even more fascinating

is what lies 100 miles to the north

on the Cajamarquilla Plain.

Here, thousands of holes

of varying dimensions and depths

have been dug into a mountain range

in a pattern that runs north and south

for almost two miles.

This mysterious formation

has baffled archaeologists for decades,

and like the Nazca Lines,

the holes can only be appreciated in their entirety

from high above the ground.

TSOUKALOS: In the mountains of Peru,

we have what's commonly referred to

as the Band of Holes.

It is one of the coolest places

in relation to the ancient astronaut theory

because who in their right mind would go ahead

and dig all these holes?

For what?

NARRATOR: While the Band of Holes

continues to defy explanation,

some ancient astronaut theorists believe

it may represent a type of message.

A message that can also be found at another site

6,000 miles away.

The northwest coast of France.

Here, just south of Brittany,

lie the legendary Carnac stones.

An arrangement of over 3,000 megalithic rocks

that stretch for more than two miles

across the countryside.

The megaliths of Carnac in Brittany are just amazing.

Some of them stand about 30 or 40 feet tall.

There are multiple avenues of stones

going right over hills,

and no one's really worked out exactly what their purpose is.

NARRATOR: Like the Band of Holes in Peru,

the Carnac stones continue to defy explanation.

But ancient astronaut theorists suggest

that the clue to understanding both mysterious sites

might be found by comparing them side by side.

The Band of Holes runs for approximately two miles.

So do the Carnac stones.

The width of the Band of Holes

measures eight holes across,

occasionally deviating by one or two holes.

This, too, is often the case with the Carnac stones.

And when viewed from high above,

the layout of the two sites

is eerily similar.

CHILDRESS: It would appear, in my mind,

that there's some connection

that's between Carnac, France, and Peru,

and a special code put there for us to find

at a... at a future time when we could...

understand these codes.

NARRATOR: Some ancient astronaut theorists

have even gone so far

as to suggest that the Band of Holes

may have once held some sort of standing totems--

similar to what is believed to have existed

at Stonehenge--

and that those totems may have disappeared

because they were made of wood.

There are a series of post holes that were found

all around Stonehenge in which you can stick sticks

in the holes.

But they've degraded over time,

and it gradually crumbled away,

and perhaps the same thing happened

in the Nazca Plain in Peru with these holes.

NARRATOR: Could there really be a connection

between the Carnac stones in France

and the Band of Holes in Peru,

as ancient astronaut theorists suggest?

And if so,

is it meant to convey a message?

WILCOCK: If you look at the stones at Carnac,

you see curious alignments.

And these alignments actually duplicate

the Pythagorean triangle.

This appears to have happened

as much as 3,000 years before Pythagoras allegedly invented

the Pythagorean triangle.

What you're seeing

is remarkable mathematical symbolism and encoding...

messages that seem to suggest

somebody wanted us to know it was built with technology

far in excess of what we have now.

TSOUKALOS: When I recently visited

the Band of Holes in Peru,

I met up with the curator

of the nearby Paracas History Museum,

Juan Navarro,

and he told me a story that makes this site

even more intriguing.

-With lights! -CHILDRESS: With lights.

In the daytime or in the nighttime?

Juan was absolutely convinced of what he saw.

So is it possible that extraterrestrials have returned

to the Band of Holes in modern times?

But if so, why?

The answer may be found carved into the earth

just a hundred miles away.

-[bell tolling] -NARRATOR: London, England.

1971.

After years of studying ancient philosophical teachings

relating to the Egyptian mystery schools,

author John Michell unearths evidence of an ancient code.

A numerical and geometric code seemingly embedded

not only in the sacred structures of ancient Egypt,

but also in the Hebrew world, and in the plans

for the Heavenly City of New Jerusalem.

KATHLEEN McGOWAN COPPENS: John Michell was a scholar,

he was a mystic, he was a genius

and a very, very prolific author.

He had an incredible understanding

of earth geometry and geography.

But what John Michell is most famous for

is the New Jerusalem diagram.

NARRATOR: By carefully examining

the physical description of New Jerusalem

in Revelation 21,

Michell uncovered a sacred design.

At the core of Michell's diagram

is the squaring of the circle and the division of the circle

into equal sectors-- a zodiac wheel--

and the positioning of 12 gates to the Heavenly City,

three on each side of the square,

representing the 12 tribes of Israel.

CHILDRESS: This is also a geometric figure,

and John Michell claimed that this would be,

uh, how the New Jerusalem was to be built in the future.

And that all this was encoded in Revelations

in a mathematical, geometric way.

NARRATOR: In his book The Dimensions of Paradise,

Michell proposed that this sacred geometry

represented the order of the universe.

Ancient astronaut theorists

suggest that this exact same geometrical concept

can be found halfway around the world--

in Nazca, Peru.

Here in the desert,

among the many plant and animal glyphs,

is a geometric design that looks much different

than the rest of the Nazca Lines.

It is called the Sun-Star and Cross.

CHILDRESS: The Nazca Sun-Star glyph is

one of the most interesting glyphs to be seen at Nazca,

and, in fact, because it's in a remote area,

the Palpa Valley, it's not actually seen by many tourists.

But it is, by far,

the strangest and most mathematically precise

of all of the... the diagrams at Nazca.

NARRATOR: The Sun-Star and Cross glyph

is a precisely formed star polygon

made of two squares surrounding a perfect circle,

all sharing the same center and diameter.

Inside the grid

are wheels within wheels and squares within squares.

The design mirrors not only New Jerusalem's sacred geometry,

but also offers up yet another connection.

When you look at it, it's very obviously

what is called a "mandala."

Or a "yantra" in ancient India or-or Tibet.

What a mandala,

yantra glyph is doing

in remote desert of Peru

is very interesting.

TSOUKALOS: It's a very sacred symbol.

It's this idea of being connected

with the realm of the gods.

And then we have to once again ask ourselves,

well, what was the realm of the gods?

It's very interesting to note

that seen from the sky it is very similar,

not identical, but very similar to,

for example, the layout

of the temples at Borobudur.

NARRATOR: The Buddhist temple of Borobudur

lies over 11,000 miles west of Nazca in Indonesia,

and is laid out with a series of precise circles

within a platform of perfect squares.

TSOUKALOS: One has to wonder

if somehow all these sites are connected,

because that is what the ancient astronaut theory excels in.

That people in our ancient past were not isolated.

They had contact with each other.

In the end, there is an extraterrestrial connection.

COLLINS: Is this something that was taught

by the ancients from one culture to the rest

and they incorporated these divine cities,

these New Jerusalems?

Or is this something that may have been given to us

by some divine intelligence?

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the New Jerusalem design,

the Sun-Star and Cross of Nazca,

the Temple of Borobudur,

and other geometric structures around the world are encoded

with similar mathematic and geometric principles?

And if so, are they part of an alien message

that is meant not only to inform us of our celestial origins,

but to guide us towards a reconnection?

Perhaps a key to understanding the relevance

of this sacred code can be found by examining

the astrological alignments

of mysterious sites throughout the world.

NARRATOR: Isolated in the Pacific Ocean,

more than 2,000 miles off the coast of Chile,

lies one of the most mysterious places on Earth--

Easter Island.

This tiny landmass is home to nearly

900 monolithic stone statues...

carved out of volcanic rock.

2,564 miles to the east,

isolated 7,000 feet above sea level,

are the ruins of a mysterious lost city of the Inca,

called Machu Picchu.

And 10,742 miles away,

on the opposite side of the world,

lies Mohenjo-daro,

a site where ancient astronaut theorists

believe a nuclear explosion may have occurred

in the distant past.

Curiously, as discovered by researcher Jim Alison,

these three sites fall in a straight line

around the center of the Earth.

And with just a minor margin of error,

it also runs through a number of other mysterious ancient sites.

McGOWAN: We have the Giza Plateau.

We have Nazca.

We have Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

All of these extraordinarily important, powerful,

sacred places were all built in a straight line.

Now, this cannot be an accident.

This cannot be a coincidence.

NARRATOR: The line also encompasses

the ancient Sumerian city of Ur;

the ruins of Petra, Jordan;

and Persepolis, the capital city of ancient Persia.

TSOUKALOS: There are all these different sites

that seem to line up.

Even if it's a minute degree of deviation,

it's never a massive distance from that line.

NARRATOR: How is it that so many important ancient sites

across the globe all follow this line?

What could possibly explain this coincidence?

TSOUKALOS: This is bizarre

because only a people capable of flight

or at least being able to look at maps

would be able to do such a thing.

Could it be because some of those points were,

in fact, places where our ancestors

made contact with extraterrestrials?

McGOWAN: There has to be something

important in the location and the geography,

in the geometry, that indicated to our ancestors

that this is sacred ground,

that this is a powerful place to put these sacred sites.

NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists say

evidence of extraterrestrial intervention can also be found

by looking at how early humans aligned

their most important sites with the stars.

At the Giza Plateau in Egypt,

the layout of the three Great Pyramids

aligns perfectly with the belt stars

of the constellation Orion.

Orion's Belt is made up of two bright stars

and a third dimmer star,

which is offset a bit to the left.

It's exactly what you see on the ground--

two large pyramids in alignment with a third pyramid offset.

It looks like they wanted to build stars on the ground,

if you like.

NARRATOR: Also aligned with these stars

are the ancient city of Teotihuac�n

in Central Mexico,

the Hopi villages

in the American Southwest

and the Thornborough Henges,

a Neolithic landscape complex

in Northern England.

Could it be merely coincidence that so many ancient cultures

throughout the world--

that presumably had no contact with each other--

all built their most important sites

by using celestial alignments?

Look, this is not something that can be explained away

as a coincidence.

It's time for us to responsibly take a look

at what we're really seeing

and understand that there is a worldwide intelligent,

highly mathematically precise plan behind these designs.

CHILDRESS: The idea that even ancient buildings are

encoded with information and that where they sit

on the planet is also

part of an intricate code

is a fascinating idea.

And one that we're just beginning to understand.

One of the most intriguing motifs

that we find repeated throughout the ancient world

is that of intertwined serpents,

which looks very much like a DNA strand.

You can find this symbol in the depictions

of the ancient Sumerian god Ningishzida

and with the Caduceus staff of Greece.

But I came across the most interesting example yet

when I was in southern Portugal.

While investigating the mystery of Atlantis,

I met with author Peter Daughtrey,

who took me on an unexpected detour to the Lagos Museum

to show me a giant six-foot-long stone egg.

Some say it could be as much as 7,000 years old.

And on top of this egg is a mysterious carving.

PETER DAUGHTREY: This thing up the middle here, though,

resemble the rod,

which throughout history has been a symbol of power

and of creation.

Moses had a rod.

And in Mesopotamia,

the rod was regarded as the symbol

of the power of the gods.

TSOUKALOS: And it reminds me of what

might be a double helix symbol,

which is very interesting,

because the ancient astronaut theory suggests

that a long time ago,

advanced extraterrestrials

saw that there was potential for

intelligent life, and with a target mutation

of our genes and theirs,

essentially, we became who we are today.

It's incredible to think that this ancient rock

may contain a clue about our origins,

but even more fascinating is the possibility

that there may be messages contained

right in our DNA itself.

NARRATOR: The University of Cambridge, England.

March 1953.

American biologist James Watson

and English physicist Francis Crick

discover the three-dimensional

double helix shape of DNA.

This scientific breakthrough is a giant leap forward

in unraveling the mystery

of mankind's origins.

But our genetic code

proves to be so complex

that Francis Crick proposes

it did not develop by chance

and also that it is not of this Earth.

CHILDRESS: Sir Francis Crick said that

the human genome is-is not something

that could have occurred randomly

and that therefore we were somehow programmed

specifically by extraterrestrials,

it would seem, many thousands of years ago.

WILLIAM HENRY: The message is...

is that our DNA didn't come from Earth.

In fact, their research suggests that our DNA

is billions of years old,

and that we were, in fact, seeded from the stars.

WILCOCK: The DNA molecule itself

is the equivalent of the entire Encyclopedia Britannica

being dropped out of a helicopter,

chopped up into individual words

and then, as the words fall out of the helicopter like confetti,

that they all arrange into the correct order that they were in.

That's the madness

that is required to even speculate

that DNA could have evolved randomly on Earth.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that DNA

is an intelligently designed code?

And if so, might there even be more information

embedded within our genetic makeup

than scientists have yet to find?

ANTONIS ROKAS: As an information molecule,

I think DNA is much more attractive

than radio signals and so on.

It lives longer, it has the ability to self-replicate

and it has a-an astronomically tiny error rate.

And so these three properties make DNA

a unique storage device.

So if you want to store a secret

or a stamp of the maker,

DNA would be your choice.

NARRATOR: Could it be that there are messages

actually imprinted right in our genetic makeup?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and contend that part of that message

may be contained within the universal structure of DNA,

which consists of a series

of three molecule combinations

known as codons, or triplets.

They say that it is much more than coincidence

that three is also the number of stars

in Orion's Belt,

the number of pyramids on the Giza Plateau

that line up with those stars,

and the basic geometry behind the pyramid shape itself.

We have a very fascinating connection

to data points saying the same thing.

Number three is where you begin building geometry.

The DNA molecule has an underlying geometry to it.

Geometry is intrinsic to the design of the universe,

and that the number three

builds the triangle,

the triangle being the building block

of all other geometry.

Maybe we'll learn some very interesting things

once we can correctly decipher the message.

NARRATOR: Are there alien messages all around us,

hidden within elaborate designs,

embedded in geographical alignments,

carved in rock,

etched into the landscape

and even encoded in our DNA?

And if so, might there be some significance

to the fact that we are just now beginning

to discover these messages?

REV. MICHAEL J.S. CARTER: In the Book of Daniel,

there's a chapter that tells Daniel to seal up the prophecies

of the Hebrew scriptures.

And it will be opened again in the days

when human beings are running to and fro

and knowledge will increase.

Well, we could argue that we're living in those days

that Daniel was writing about.

McGOWAN: So much of what we know about ancient culture,

ancient architecture, ancient technology,

is encoded.

There are codes in literature.

We see in the New Jerusalem diagram

that there is encoding, again in geometry,

in the architecture.

These codes were left to us a long, long time ago

so that we could find our way.

So that we could remember who we are.

CHILDRESS: Is it some kind of message for us

from the past

that we're to decode when we have reached

a higher state of civilization and knowledge

that we can figure all this out?

It would seem that we are only just now

reaching a point of knowledge and technology

that we can understand these codes

and find the hidden meaning that's there.

TSOUKALOS: The answers to mankind's greatest questions--

where did we come from, why are we here

and where are we going--

may actually be hidden in plain sight,

disguised in the form of alien messages.

And perhaps the ultimate key to decoding it all

lies not in an ancient script or even our own DNA,

but in something we have yet to discover.

Hopefully, once we crack

this so-called alien code,

we will find that there are messages all around us,

informing us about our alien origins,

providing information

that will unleash incredible technologies

or even preparing us for the inevitable day

when they will return.
