All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens Ultimate Evidence s01e06 Alien Messages.eng

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.
