All language subtitles for Ancient Aliens S09E08 Alien Messages

NARRATOR: Strange symbols found
on opposite sides of the Earth.

DAVID CHILDRESS: What a
mandala is doing in remote

desert of Peru is very interesting.

NARRATOR: Binary code
appearing in crop formations.

ANDREW COLLINS: Can we see it as a reply?

Indeed, it was.

NARRATOR: And geographical
alignments that defy explanation.

GIORGIO TSOUKALOS: These
settlements that are 5,000 years old,

how are they all lined up?

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
throughout the world there are

messages concealed within ancient
texts, symbols and structures?

And if so, might they have
been left for us to uncover

by extraterrestrial beings?

KATHLEEN McGOWAN COPPENS: These messages were left to us

a long, long time ago so that
we could remember who we are.

NARRATOR: Millions of people
around the world believe

we have been visited in the past
by extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really
help to shape our history?

And if so, might we find
the proof in alien messages?

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.

SETH SHOSTAK: 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 1-2-3'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 are unlike any other ever found.

WILLIAM HENRY: They were both
pixilated, meaning that

when you're on the ground, you
couldn't perceive what

the crop circle was, but once
from the air you could readily

identify the pattern.

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.

There were very, very subtle
differences between the two.

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 grey 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 it also had a different
DNA sequence as well.

And so just these three things
really caught my attention,

because either 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're 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-BALINT: The
I Ching is a kind of cryptic

oracular inscription 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 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 B.C.

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 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.

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 going to drive
all computers in the future.

And this is something
that extraterrestrials

on other planets and other
galaxies must also be using.

TSOUKALOS: Some have surmised
that the idea for the binary code

was gleaned from the I Ching.

It's a very curious thing.

Especially the idea that
the basics of the I Ching

was imparted by another type of being.

NARRATOR: Could the I Ching
have 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.

CHILDRESS: 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.

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.

ROBERT RIDGE: 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.

You know, 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

the 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 manmade copy.

RIDGE: 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 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 manmade
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.

And I was like, wow! What is this?

It's proven to be everything
I thought it was so far.

In my opinion.

NARRATOR: One of the first
researchers to investigate

the connection between the Roswell
Rock and the crop circle in

England was investigative
journalist Linda Moulton Howe.

She is convinced that within
the design is a message.

LINDA MOULTON HOWE: If we
are dealing with advanced

intelligences and you assume
that throughout the universe,

all solar systems, all galaxies,

there have to be some,
we'll call them baselines.

Moons, suns and skies would be
the common denominator.

Something is trying to teach
us humans about astronomy.

The moon and the sun and the
tracking of the symbols

this is reflecting past,
present and future.

And that comes back to,
what is on that rock?

Well, some people would
say that that is a date.

NARRATOR: A date? But why?

Could there be a message encoded

in the design on the Roswell
Rock that reveals some

significant turning point
that lies ahead for mankind?

WILCOCK: It could be that the
extraterrestrials responsible

for making crop circles which
is... I-I believe that's what's

happening actually generated

this rock, 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.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
the design that appears

on the Roswell Rock and in the
crop formation in England

is actually an attempt by extraterrestrials
to communicate with humankind?

Might this message be trying

to tell us something about
our future, and possibly even

reveal the date on which these

alien visitors plan to return?

Perhaps further clues can 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 archeologists

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?

ROBERT SCHOCH: They're an incredible
mystery, a very long-lived mystery.

Some people think it looks like
some kind of machine was running

over the territory.

Some people think it was some kind
of systematic mining operation.

Some people say it was just
pothunters, you know, looting,

looking for burials.

None of the explanations make good sense.

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.

NEWMAN: 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 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-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.

WILCOCK: There are a series
of post-holes that were found

all around Stonehenge, in which
you can stick sticks in the holes.

But they 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.

But 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.

ERICH VON DANIKEN: Some
thousands of years in the past,

the extraterrestrials who visited
our planet left a proof behind.

They knew that in the far future the
humans will see these stone patterns.

They will realize that
this is high geometry.

And sooner or later,
the questions comes up,

have we maybe been visited
by beings from outer space?

NARRATOR: Is it possible that
these two ancient sites are both

conveying a message left
behind by extraterrestrials?

And was it their intention that it
would one day be deciphered by mankind?

Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and claim that further

evidence can be found with
another alien message,

one that is encoded in the Bible.

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.

McGOWAN: 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

from 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, uh,
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.

CHILDRESS: When you look at it,

it's very obviously
what is called a "mandala."

Or a "yantra" in ancient India 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 Macchu Pichu.

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.

ROBERT BAUVAL: 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 Teotihuacan 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?

WILCOCK: 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.

NARRATOR: Could it be that
the curious location

and alignments of ancient
sacred sites were actually

meant to serve as a form of communication?

And might the purpose have been
to leave behind a hidden message

for future generations to discover?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and suggest that otherworldly messages
can be found not only hidden

throughout the globe, but even
within the human body.

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.

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 be
even more information

imbedded 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 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.

WILCOCK: 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?

REVEREND MICHAEL 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.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the
answers to mankind's greatest questions

where did we come from,

why are we here, and where are we headed

are actually all around us,
hidden in alien messages,

waiting to be deciphered?

Perhaps the key to decoding it all
lies in an ancient script,

our own DNA, or something
we have yet to discover.

And once we crack the code, we will find

that the answers to these questions

are far more profound
than we ever imagined.
