Gateways to other dimensions.

To the Mayans,
this represented the passageway

to another world.
Hidden dwellings

for strange beings.
They were the

first inhabitants of Planet
Earth.

Secret vaults of
cosmic knowledge.

It's almost as
though they're opening a

doorway to communicate with
these divine beings.

Since the dawn of
man, caves have been a source of

great mystery.
But could the darkest recesses

of our planet really be hiding
some mysterious power?

And within their depths,
might we find evidence of

extraterrestrial visitors?
In some

ways, exploring the underground
cavern world of Planet Earth

is the final frontier.
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 there be a
connection between aliens

and the earth's forbidden caves?

Central India. July, 2014.

While exploring caves in the
region of Charama-which are

known to contain prehistoric
artwork dating as far back as

10,000 years-an Indian
archaeologist, J.R. Bhagat,

makes a stunning discovery.
The Indian

government and Times of India
had a major story about rock

paintings found recently in
Central India that seem to show

these tall beings, and they do
not seem to have a nose or a

mouth, and nearby is this
three-legged disk.

The Times
of India actually proposed the

idea, what if what we have
depicted here are some type of

extraterrestrials or at least
some type of flying craft,

because it's the basis for much
of the Hindu pantheon of gods.

Ancient Hindu texts
like the Vedas and the Puranas

record stories about
extraterrestrials existing on

other planets, and the
Mahabharata-one of ancient

India's two major Sanskrit
epics-contains stories about

gods coming to Earth in flying
machines.

Even the legends specific to
this region tell of a

mysterious race of beings known
as the "rohela" who descended

from the sky and abducted
local villagers.

Could the newly unearthed cave
art be a visual record that

extraterrestrials really
visited here?

There was an
obsession of ancient human

beings to depict things that
they saw,

and I think they did it with
carvings on caves because that's

what they saw. But what is it

about caves that made them
the ideal canvases for ancient

peoples to chronicle their
experiences?

Caves are
hugely significant in ancient

mythology and legends,
especially about the gods.

They seem to be a kind of a
luminal point, a boundary place

where the gods and humans can
meet.

There is a
whole hidden underground world

of Planet Earth that we're only
just now beginning to discover,

and we don't know what's there.
We could be discovering all

kinds of amazing things, and
it's possible that there are

entire cities under the earth.
Whole cavern metropolises that

are talked about in legends.
But while ancient

cave art often reveals the type
of animals our earliest

ancestors encountered and their
means for hunting them, there

is a surprising number of
depictions of strange-looking

figures and objects that defy
any conventional explanation.

In Australia,
the Wondjina people, they

painted images on their caves
which eerily looks like the

so-called Greys of alien
abduction lore today.

You have the
strange petroglyphs in the

Hoggar Mountains of Southern
Algeria.

You've got strange rock art,
too, in the American Southwest,

and when you look at it, and
even have the natives explain

it to you, they say things like,
"Oh, yes, he's Martian god,"

or, "These are the star people
coming from the sky."

How do we explain
so many different cultures

across thousands of years and
thousands of miles producing

such consistent visual
representations?

The ones that were
discovered in some of the

African caves, it's too
similar to what has been

discovered on every continent
for it to be complete

coincidence.
So, it's this whole idea of the

spark of initial inspiration.
What is it that they witnessed,

and could it be that they
witnessed extraterrestrials?

One of the more
intriguing aspects of the cave

paintings that seem to show
aliens, is why are they inside

caves?
This has sort of given rise to

the theory that maybe these
aliens, perhaps, have permanent

bases on the planet underground.
Maybe ancient man saw them

coming out of some of these
caves and caverns

and then realized there was a
relationship between the aliens

and the caves. In ancient times,

caves were places of shelter,
but is it possible our

ancestors were also using
caves to record and protect

information about
extraterrestrial beings who

played a role in our existence?
Perhaps the answer can be found

halfway around the world, in
the American Southwest.

The Grand Canyon.
This epic, 277-mile-long, one-

mile-deep fissure, exposes
millions of years of geologic

strata.
Imprinted onto this dramatic

landscape are petroglyphs that
depict everyday life as

experienced by the first
inhabitants of the region.

But in one of the most remote
corners of the canyon is a

small cave covered with artwork
that mystifies experts.

Some refer to it as the
"Shaman's Panel" because it

appears to depict scenes of the
supernatural.

All around the
Grand Canyon are unusual sites

and sacred sites, and then you
have the Shaman's Panel there in

the Grand Canyon, which seems to
show these long, tall

extraterrestrial-type figures.
Like the strange

looking beings found in the cave
in Charama, India, the figures

depicted on the Shaman's Panel
are oddly elongated and are also

thought to have been created as
many as 10,000 years ago.

And just as in Charama, the
native Hopi people here also

have detailed accounts of
extraterrestrials who came down

to Earth. In the Southwest,

the Pueblo Indians, such as the
Zuni and-and the Hopi, believe

that there is an entrance into
an underground world and it is

located in the Grand Canyon.
And it's this mythological

underworld, uh, of caves and
extraterrestrials, the ant

people. The Hopi have

this concept of the ant people.
The ant people are very thin.

They have elongated heads.
And the ancestral Hopi people

did make pictures of these ant
people which still survive

today. Is it possible the

rock art found here and
elsewhere around the world is

evidence that the earth's first
inhabitants had contact with

otherworldly beings?
And if so, might there be some

significance to the fact that
many of these strange

petroglyphs are found in and
around caves?

Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes, and suggest further

evidence can be found by
examining the ritualistic

practices that continue to be performed
inside caves even to this day.

The Himalayas, Northern India.

Every summer, hundreds of

thousands of Hindu pilgrims
brave an arduous journey.

They cross many miles of deadly
terrain to reach the Amarnath

Cave-a place of worship for
thousands of years.

12,756 feet
above sea level, in the

Himalayas, is the most revered
holy pilgrimage site for all of

the people who follow the Hindu
faith.

People die
because of high altitude

sickness.
Others simply fall off the

cliff. And still people go there

because it is considered to be
the most holiest shrine.

According to local
lore, this massive cave is where

the god Shiva revealed the
secrets of immortality and the

creation of the universe to his
wife Parvati.

To honor Shiva, worshippers pay

their respects to a sacred relic
inside, an ice lingam, which

they believe is a physical
manifestation of his generative

power. To reveal the secret

to transcending the flesh, the
secret to true immortality,

makes that site of extreme
importance to the people in the

Hindu faith. To the Hindu

faithful who risk life and limb
to reach the Amarnath Cave, this

story is a real account of an
otherworldly being who was at

this exact location here on
Earth.

But why would Lord Shiva choose
to divulge his divine secrets in

a cave?
Could caves really hold special

properties that have made them
places of worship throughout

history?
Interestingly, the Amarnath Cave

is only one of hundreds of caves
around the world that have been

at one time considered sacred.
Archaeologists believe a

20-foot-long serpentine rock
carving in Botswana's Rhino Cave

was the focus of religious
ritual as far back as 70,000

years ago.
And cave monasteries can be

found in France... Russia...

Thailand... Ethiopia...

and Hungary, just to name a few.
>> REVEREND MICHAEL J.S. CARTER:

I don't think that this is a
coincidence that places of

refuge, spiritual refuge, are
inside caves.

This is where one can
contemplate, one can hear one's

inner voice without the
distractions of the day.

One thing about caves is they're

underground; they're unseen.
Well, religion is about unseen

things.
Going into a cave is going into

holy ground. Is the mysterious

nature of caves enough to
explain why they have been

revered as sacred places by
different cultures and religions

all over the world?
Ancient astronaut theorists

suggest there may be a more
profound reason, which can be

found by examining the stories
behind our ancestors' rituals.

Yucat?n, Mexico, 2008.
Mexican archaeologists exploring

just outside the capital of
Merida make an historic

discovery: an aquatic underworld
full of mysterious offerings to

the Mayan gods, including human
sacrifices.

What they found
was a system of 14 caves, and in

them were stone temples, and
they were all linked together.

And it was thought that what
they had discovered was the

Mayan underworld known as
Xibalba.

Some of this work is underwater.

Divers would have had to hold
their breath and go down and do

carving underwater to make this
possible.

They were very devout to be
sure.

Central to the
heavily Mayan ritualistic

society was the belief that in
order for them to rejoin the

gods in the next life, the dead
must make their way through a

dark and perilous journey.
In the mythology

of the Maya, we have these
incredible references to

Xibalba, which means "the
underworld."

And we can read about it in
the Popol Vuh, which is the book

of the Jaguar priests.
Some historians

believe that the caves
discovered in 2008 are indeed

those caves that represented for
the Maya the passageway to

Xibalba-the underworld.
But ancient astronaut theorists

propose Xibalba has a more
cosmic connection.

One of the most
famous code breakers-her name

was Dr. Linda Schele.
She dealt with the Maya language

all her life.
She is actually one of the

people who have suggested that
there is another meaning for

Xibalba, and that's "the Milky
Way."

To the Mayans,
who were very good astronomers,

this represented the passageway
to another world, Xibalba-the

middle of the Milky Way.
So when they refer to the

underworld, they're actually
referring to the sky above.

This suggests that
the cave could be a portal, in

which extraterrestrials are
actually able to come and go

freely from their plane of
existence to our own.

Is it possible that
the Mayan stories of Xibalba

were not describing a passageway
to the afterlife, but a portal

to another part of the universe?
Ancient astronaut theorists

suggest that caves have become
places of ritual because they

have a direct connection to
extraterrestrials, and claim

that further proof can be found by examining
the mysterious Sky Caves of Nepal.

Shikoku Island, Japan.

The eighth century AD.

A young monk named Saeki Mao was
deep in the mountains doing his

spiritual training when he
decided to enter a small cave

called Mikurodo and meditate.
While inside, he had an

encounter that he would later
credit with bringing him

enlightenment, and he emerged
from the cave as Kukai-a high

priest who would become one of
Japan's most important

historical figures.
Many Buddhists

have reported enlightening
experiences in caves.

And one of the most famous
stories involved the monk Kukai.

He is the individual who brought
esoteric Buddhism, Shingon

Buddhism, to Japan from China,
and according to his

autobiography, he was meditating
in a cave at Cape Muroto.

And he had fixed his eyes on the
morning star.

The morning star flew towards
him, entered his mouth and in

front of him he saw an image of
the Bodhisattva Akasagarbha.

And Akasagarbha, in Japanese,
is known as Kokuzo Bosatsu.

So we have this spiritual being,
surrounded by light...

Perhaps he even used the light
to travel there.

After this
encounter, Kukai suddenly had

great wisdom, including the
ability to comprehend 85,000

Buddhist texts.
But what happened inside

Mikurodo Cave that allowed Kukai
to enter this enlightened state?

Kokuzo
appeared to Kukai in the cave

when he was in his trance and
basically informed him that he

was a conduit to the universe.
And it channeled through his

body and he could tell you
anything about the stars, the

planets.
It's almost as if he were tapped

into a database.
Some even perceive

that the cave is similar to
a womb.

So a human being enters as a
normal mortal.

They engage in ascetic or
meditative discipline within the

cave.
And when they exit the cave,

they're no longer a typical
mortal, but they're more akin to

a saint. Or even a Buddha.

But could the
enlightenment found inside caves

be coming from an
extraterrestrial source inside

the earth?
Some ancient astronaut theorists

say yes and suggest
evidence of this might be found

in the fabled nirvana known as
Shambhala and the Sky Caves of

Mustang in Nepal.
Some say Shambhala

is a mythical city that's
located somewhere in the

mountains in the Himalayas.
Its inhabitants are supposed to

be fully enlightened beings who
have access to a great amount of

technology, which comes from the
enlightenment itself.

Buddhism has always
seen caves as more or less

a conduit to altered states
of consciousness.

To other civilizations that may
exist inside the earth.

The Sky Caves in
Mustang are interesting because

they're a hundred or so
man-made caves carved into the

faces of cliffs.
And are only accessible by these

huge vertical shafts.
And inside these caves, we have,

huge statues of Buddhas,
bodhisattvas.

And Buddhists are
not alone in this belief.

Hindus also revere caves as
places where monks can go to

find wisdom.
The Sadhu are Indian

holy men who, basically, lead a
life of deprivation,

self-imposed exile in caves
so that they can enter these

altered states of consciousness.
They definitely believe that

caves are a conduit to
communicating with

non-human entities.
It's almost as

though they're opening a doorway
into a spiritual consciousness

in which they are able to
communicate with these divine

beings and hopefully become
divine themselves.

Other important
figures throughout history also

attribute their life-altering
epiphanies to mysterious

encounters that happened in
caves.

In the life
of the great artist and

inventor, Leonardo da Vinci,
he had some unusual but

important experience at the
mouth of a cave.

Right after that, he disappeared
for two years.

And right after that, he began
this spurt of creativity that

was awesome.
In art and in science,

he invented the first
self-propelled vehicle and

imagined flying machines. Joseph

Smith wrote that an angel
appeared to him with the name of

Moroni in the year 1827.
Told to Joseph Smith he should

go to a certain little hill.
He should pull the stone plate

away, and inside he would find a
cave.

And in the cave he would find
unknown writings.

As all good Mormons
know, he found the golden

tablets, which contained a vast
amount of data.

Why are there so
many accounts of humans having

enlightening experiences inside
caves?

Is there something about caves
themselves that facilitate such

extraordinary experiences?
Could it be that these people

are coming into contact with an
extraterrestrial presence?

Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that cosmic knowledge

may be stored in the very walls
of these caves themselves, and

that the proof can be found in Central
America 1,000 feet underground.

Chihuahua, Mexico. April, 2000.

Miners excavating 1,000 feet

below the mineral-rich town of
Naica drill through a cave wall

and make a stunning discovery
a glittering cavern full of giant

crystals that are half a million
years old.

The Cuevas des
Cristales-or the Crystal Cave

of Northern Mexico-is a very
unique site.

And we're talking crystals as
big around as a car that

stretched from the floor to the
ceiling of the cavern.

It's a remarkable thing to see.
The incredible

Cave of the Crystals in Mexico
was just accidentally found, and

the discoverers were completely
astounded with these giant

gypsum crystals.
It's fantastic and reminds a

person of the Fortress of
Solitude of Superman, where all

this information is encoded into
these giant crystals.

Now, the significance
of this is extremely important

to the indigenous people of
Northern Mexico-in fact, all

of Mesoamerica-in that the
crystals themselves were

considered sacred.
They vibrated.

And they believed there was also
some properties involved in

crystals that would provide them
a way to communicate with the

gods. Many ancient myths tell

us that there are magical
apparatus that are made out of

rock or stone or crystal.
If we look at

the properties of many of the
caverns and caves, we see that

there's usually some type of
lining of crystal or quartz, and

we know that crystal has a vast
ability to store information.

Maybe some of these caves are
actually storing information and

that ancient people who meditate
in caverns are tapping into this

knowledge. Might caves that

are rich in quartz or crystal
really possess some special

power that our ancestors were
aware of?

Ancient astronaut theorists
point out that the scientists

today are discovering that
crystals do, in fact, have very

unique properties. Quartz and

other crystalline structures
oscillate on incredibly

well-defined frequencies when
you hit them mechanically, and

they can be activated
electrically through an effect

known as the piezoelectric
effect.

So you can put quartz in a watch
and use it as a very accurate

timekeeping device.
So quartz could be used in

conducting or communicating
certain signals.

In the Silicon
Valley of California, quartz is

used to manufacture the small
integrated circuits found in

computers because of its strong
semiconducting properties.

Computer chips are also made
with a form of the mineral

quartzite, which is a
highly-condensed form of quartz.

Today, computer engineers are
working on how to physically

manipulate crystals so that
digital data can be stored

inside them forever.
The media has dubbed these hard

drives of the future "Superman
memory crystals."

So, Superman is one
of our superheroes who came

from outer space.
He came from the planet Krypton.

It was in the process of being
destroyed, so his parents saved

him and sent him in a spaceship
to our planet.

One of the interesting things in
the Superman story is that his

father was able to program a
crystal that traveled with him

that he was able to use to
construct the Fortress of

Solitude.
And it was basically a crystal

structure, essentially a cave,
where he could both get away

from things and he could use the
crystals in there to get

information.
So one of the things that's

interesting in the Fortress of
Solitude is the way that the

quartz technology, or the
crystal technology, seems to be

underlying everything.
And so a future that we're

looking at is using light in
computing.

You have to figure out ways to
trap light and to store it,

basically to create bits on and
off and have the light last

long enough that the signal
stays there and the memory is

stored. Was the power of

crystals something the ancients
not only knew about but utilized

by building structures that
would harness and transmit it?

A lot of the
pyramids had either granite or

some type of crystal-lined
surface.

For instance, Giza, those great
pyramids were topped with an

obelisk made of shiny granite
crystal.

And when we look at an obelisk,
it very much resembles some type

of power rod, maybe a Tesla
coil.

Ancient times, the obelisk was
always a symbol of power.

Maybe this wasn't just emotional
power but actual physical power

that was being harnessed by
these objects.

Crystals are transformers.

They hold energy.
And, indeed, caves are thought

of as "hot spots," where you
have Earth energy emerging from

the planet. If scientists today

are looking into the
technological uses for crystal,

is it possible that there are
extraterrestrial civilizations

that have already mastered this
technology?

Ancient astronaut theorists say
yes and that the mineral

properties found inside caves
have enabled some of the world's

most astounding miracles.

Bethlehem.

The Church of the Nativity,
built around 330 AD by the first

Christian Roman emperor
Constantine, is one of the

oldest continuously operating
churches in the world, having

survived invasions, regime
changes, fires, and earthquakes.

Many claim that the church is
protected by a higher power,

because it sits above a cave
that some Bible scholars believe

to be the true birthplace of
Jesus Christ.

There are
many books about the story of

Christ's life, Jesus' life,
which never made their way into

the Bible, and one of them was
called the Protoevangelium of

James.
And in that story, Joseph and

Mary are approaching Bethlehem,
and Mary says, "I'm going to

give birth."
And he thinks for a minute.

He said, "Ah, I know a cave near
here."

And they're met at the entrance
to the cave by a brilliant

light.
And when the light dissipates,

there is Mary holding Christ in
her arms.

And if you look at Byzantine
painting, the Nativity is always

represented in a cave.
According to the

Gospel of Luke, Mary gives birth
and places the baby Jesus in a

manger, but no actual location
for the Nativity is given.

It is known, however, that caves
at the time were commonly used

as shelter for livestock.
Going back to the

third century, they-they started
this idea that he was actually

born in a cave.
But then they also describe the

tomb of resurrection as a cave,
as a simple hollowed-out room

that had this circular stone at
the entranceway.

The Bible does make
a point that when Christ was

taken from the cross, then he's
buried in a rock-cut tomb.

>> KATHLEEN McGOWAN COPPENS:
There does seem to be a mystical

environment here, this idea of a
cave being a place where someone

who is of divinity comes and
someone who is of divinity

leaves.
So it's almost as if passages

are happening in caves.
Constantine's

building program of churches in
the Holy Land began by building

churches over caves associated
with key mysteries of the faith.

He built a church over the site
of Jesus' birth.

He built a church over the site
of Jesus' crucifixion, where the

Church of the Holy Sepulchre
stands today.

And he built a church on the
Mount of Olives over a cave

associated with the site of his
ascension into heaven.

Is there some
significance to the fact that

both Jesus' birthplace and
resurrection may have occurred

inside caves?
Some ancient astronaut theorists

say yes and claim there may even
be physical evidence that what

happened within these caves was
something other than miraculous.

>> McGOWAN: The Shroud of Turin
is certainly the most important

relic of the Resurrection, this
extraordinary imprint of the

crucified body on this cloth
that no one has ever been able

to accurately explain or
reproduce.

Jesus was in the tomb,
and some believe there was an

intense burst of energy which
created what we now call the

Shroud of Turin, some form of
radiation which was very intense

and powerful.
>> McGOWAN: We know with 21st

century technology that the
Shroud of Turin is a first

century garment.
And we know beyond a shadow of a

doubt that it could not have
been painted or in any way

created.
So the Shroud of Turin gives us

this exceptional piece of
evidence that something powerful

happened in that tomb.
And when people came to

see him the next day to view his
body, he was gone.

Two shining beings, nonhuman
beings, met these two witnesses

outside the tomb and informed
them that Christ had arisen and

that he had departed.
It's possible that

that cave was acting as a sort
of a gateway or a portal,

because in many of these
stories, the caves link earth

and heaven.

Could the Shroud of Turin
really be evidence

that something of a
technological as

well as a spiritual nature took
place in the cave where many

believe Jesus was resurrected?
Reports of humans encountering

the divine in or near caves come
from all corners of the globe

going back thousands of years.
We look at the

prophet Muhammad at Mount Hira.
He's in a mountain in a cave.

He's praying and meditating.
He hears the voice of Gabriel.

"Iqra, Iqra," which means "to
recite, recite."

And so, he recites the Koran.
According to the Hebrew

tradition the prophet Elijah,
who existed around nine BCE,

lived in a cave. According to

Greek mythology, Zeus was born
in a cave.

And caves are often understood,
in religious traditions, to be

gateways to the underworld.
So, caves are worshipped

throughout the Mediterranean,
usually because a god is

associated with that cave.
A god is worshipped in a cave or

in a grotto. Could the stories

of Zeus, Muhammad, and even
Jesus be evidence that the

world's subterranean caverns
might be portals that connect us

to other realms, as ancient
astronaut theorists suggest?

Perhaps the answer will be found
with new cutting-edge technology

designed to uncover secrets in cave
walls not visible to the naked eye.

Santa Monica,
California, 2014.

Here at xRez Studio,

visualization artists Greg
Downing and Eric Hanson are

pioneering the use of
photogrammetry and special

effects software to assist
archaeologists in the global

effort to decipher ancient cave
art.

We use a
combination of techniques from

the fields of computational
photography and graphics in

order to help the archaeologists
reveal information difficult to

see just with basic vision when
you're there.

The team recently
traveled to the Grand Canyon to

compile a massive, in-depth
photographic compilation of the

collection of strange
petroglyphs known as the

Shaman's Panel. We were drawn to

the panel for two primary
aspects.

One was the rich layering of the
anthropomorphic figures.

And two is the kind of
evocative, surreal nature of

their composition.
This cave is maybe,

like, five or six feet deep.
So, by using a photogrammetric

technique, we were able to get
the detail across the entire

painting. The nice thing about

this technique is, we can
separate the different dyes and

minerals that are used.
And in this case, now we can

kind of see the layering
expressed, we can see figures

that are simply lost by the
naked eye.

Yeah, that brings it out.

Yeah, it's a complete
difference.

Could modern
techniques one day uncover even

more details about what ancient
people really saw and hoped to

communicate with rock art?
Some ancient astronaut

theorists believe one compelling
clue that modern researchers

might be on the right track can
be found, oddly enough, in

contemporary America.
March, 1945.

Amazing Stories magazine
publishes an article entitled "I

Remember Lemuria!"
But according to the author,

this is the first piece to
appear in the science fiction

magazine that is not fiction at
all but an actual account of his

own alien abduction.
Richard Shaver was

a man who surfaced decades ago
with a story of underground

entities that were very hostile
to the human race.

Terrible creatures that would
kidnap and kill members of the

human race. They were the first

inhabitants of Planet Earth.
When the sun became radioactive,

these people could no longer
live on the surface.

Some left in their spaceships.
Others went underground.

Could Richard
Shaver's account of underground

extraterrestrials abducting
humans be true?

Shaver proposed that the alien
race that once populated the

earth had developed
highly-specialized equipment

that allowed them to embed
multifaceted imagery into

stones. Richard Shaver

believed that he had made the
greatest discovery in the

history of mankind about the true
nature of intelligent life on Earth.

So, this is an original Shaver

photograph of a rock book.
And this multidimensional way

of making images in the rock
books was something that Shaver

saw as a real sign of the
superior intelligence of the

ancient races.
Shaver believed that these

weren't mere rocks with random
patterns, that these were

actually deliberately
manufactured artifacts by the

ancient races who had been here
30,000, 100,000, who knows how

many years ago.

Might Richard Shaver have actually
discovered real physical evidence that

extraterrestrials have been here
on Planet Earth and might still

be here today?
Whether or not

Richard Shaver's stories are
true, it does dovetail with

legends across this planet of a
race of beings that either

created humankind, or were, at
least, our ancestors that had a

superior technology.
If we're looking for

extraterrestrials, ironically,
the heavens above might not be

the best place to look.
We should perhaps even be

looking deep below our feet.
In some ways,

exploring the underground cavern
world of Planet Earth is the

final frontier.
Is it possible that

some of the world's most
mysterious caves really are home

to extraterrestrial beings?
Could it be that the knowledge

of the universe has been left
for us to discover right here on

Earth, once we have the
technology to unlock it?

And might the crystals found
within cave walls not only tell

us where we came from, but even
provide the technology to access

the most distant corners of the universe?

Perhaps one day we will find
proof that there is life beyond

our planet by searching deep
within it.
