A mysterious ancient symbol with connections to the cosmos.
Starting point is 00:00:44 And complex patterns that appear in fields around the world. Over the years, ancient aliens has documented evidence of otherworldly visitations believed to be concealed in ancient codes and symbols. Now we're counting down the ten most intriguing and mysterious codes we've examined, codes that just might unlock the truth about our extraterrestrial past. There is a doorway in the universe. Beyond it is the promise of truth. It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.
Starting point is 00:01:27 The evidence is all around us. The future is right before our eyes. We are not alone. We have never been alone. Here is ancient astronaut theorist, Giorgio Suclos. Throughout the ancient world, we can find mysterious structures, carvings, and symbols that defy explanation. For ancient astronaut theorists like me, these are signs that our ancestors were influenced by extraterrestrial visitors. And they represent a code left for future.
Starting point is 00:02:07 generations to decipher. A prime example are the giant monoliths that were erected all over the earth thousands of years ago for reasons that archaeologists still do not understand. At number 10 on our countdown of the top 10 alien codes, the standing stones. Throughout the planet scattered across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas are more than 50, ancient standing stones. They are enormous monoliths that have been placed vertically into the ground. Most date back more than 5,000 years and the largest weigh over 300 tons, more than double the weight of the Statue of Liberty. Here is David Childress, author of Technology of the Gods. When we look at these standing stones and earth, they are particularly mysterious, and they
Starting point is 00:03:07 They bring something out in us, an awe, a sense of mystery. Why are these stones here? Let's have some purpose, but we don't know what it is. On the northwest coast of France lies the most famous and mysterious collection of ancient standing stones found anywhere in the world. Stretching across two miles of rolling countryside, the more than 3,000 giant monoliths are known as the Karnak stones. French archaeologists have been able to give a date to these standing stones, and it's 5,000 BC. So they're saying that these stones were erected 7,000 years ago. But they don't know who erected them.
Starting point is 00:03:52 They don't know why they were erected. They don't know how they moved all these stones and erected them. Some mainstream scholars suggest that the stones are simply grave markers, while others theorized that they tracked. astronomical events like the solstice and equinox. But ancient astronaut theorists propose the precise placement of the Karnak stones represent geometric alignments far more sophisticated than they might appear at first glance. These 3,000 stones have been arranged in very specific arrangements. In fact, one of the arrangements we have is a representation of the Pythasthenes
Starting point is 00:04:36 Thagorean theorem, which is A-square plus B-squared equals C-squared. How do we have that mathematical message in an archaeological site that's at least 7,000 years old? This is Eric von Danikin, author of Chariots of the Gods. The constructions in Garnak is thousands of years older than Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician. So somebody must have teach our ancestors to put these stones in a stone. certain line in geometical forms. Now the question is simply why. Without a doubt one of the most baffling places on earth can be found in Peru. It's a mysterious formation that stretches for miles through the rugged desert and while its purpose
Starting point is 00:05:24 is completely unknown, some believe it was used to communicate with otherworldly beings. Number nine on our list, the band of holes. Pisco Peru. Here, stretching across the Caha-Marquia Plain, thousands of ancient holes have been dug into a mountain range. The holes measure six to seven feet in depth and are evenly spaced about three feet apart. They are arranged in a precise line that runs north and south for almost two miles. 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?
Starting point is 00:06:15 Here is planetary geologist Robert Schock. 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 pot hunters, you know, looting, looking for burials. None of the explanations make good sense. While the band of holes continues to defy explanation, some ancient astronaut theorists believe it might convey a type of message left behind by extraterrestrials.
Starting point is 00:06:54 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 patterns. They will realize that this is eye geometry. And sooner or later, the questions comes up, have we maybe been visited by beings from outer space? Is it some kind of message for us from the past, that we are to decode when we have reached a higher state of civilization and knowledge that we can figure all this out?
Starting point is 00:07:28 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. The ancient astronaut theory suggests that extraterrestrials who came to Earth in the distant past left behind signs that they were here. To me, some compelling examples are massive shapes and figures
Starting point is 00:07:57 that are carved into the landscape across the globe and can only be seen from the sky. At number eight on our countdown of the top 10 alien codes, geoglyphs. NASCA, Peru. High in this arid plateau, there is a series of precise lines and artworks carved into the desert floor
Starting point is 00:08:19 that have mystified people since their modern discovery in the 1920s. Curiously, all of them were made on a scale to be seen from high above. They are called, geoglyphs. Here is archaeologist Paul Bonn, PhD. A geoglyph is just basically a drawing on the landscape, usually quite large scale. Most geoglyphs are in deserts and in shapes, geometric shapes, animal shapes or whatever.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Most geoglyphs really only make sense from above. For years, archaeologists believed the Nazca lines were an isolated phenomenon. But now, with the benefit of satellite imagery, thousands of ancient geoglyphs are being found all over the world. In Kazakhstan, in the southwestern United States, in the Atacama Desert of Chile, and in Bolivia, just to name a few. This is author and investigative mythologist William Henry. There are many groups around the world that have been creating geoglyphs for thousands of years.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And the thing is that these glyphs can only be seen from the sky. That tells us that these messages have to be for beings that are in the sky, extraterrestrials. Is it possible that these ancient geoglyphs were created for an extraterrestrial purpose? Ancient astronaut theorists say, yes, and suggest further clues can be found by examining one of the most extraordinary geoglyphs ever discovered. One of the most interesting geoglyphs that you have at NOSCA is the Sun-Star Cross geoglyph, which is really a very complicated, huge mandala of interconnected stars and triangles, and something we see all over the world in Tibet and India as mandala.
Starting point is 00:10:08 So things like this that are so geometrically complicated and are found all over the world indicates that there was some kind of worldwide symbolic language that was brought here by a higher intelligence. When it comes to identifying alien codes, one thing I look for are structures or shapes that are repeated at ancient sites around the world. One of the most intriguing is a mysterious symbol that just might unlock the secret of our extraterrestrial past. Number seven on our countdown, the keyhole shape. Kaibar, Saudi Arabia, May 2017. An Archaeological team conducting an aerial survey of the Saudi Arabian desert makes an extraordinary discovery.
Starting point is 00:11:02 They find a series of 19 stone formations in the shape of keyholes. Here is Hugh Newman, co-author of Megalith, Studies in Stone. They're thought to be thousands of years old, but no one know who built them. No one knows why they were there, but they have this sacred symbol of the keyhole as the design. So the keyhole shape is a combination of the triangle and the circle. And the circle is often a representation of the sun and the moon and other heavenly objects, whereas the triangle shape is really the pyramid shape, and that is a representation of the earth.
Starting point is 00:11:40 So it really could be a representation linking heaven and earth. Curiously, the keyhole symbol can be found at ancient sites all over the world, such as Peru, Italy, or New Mexico. But perhaps the most impressive example can be found in Japan at a megalithic tomb called Dyson Kofun. Lane Little, Ph.D. is a lecturer of religious studies at UC Davis. It rises up 35 feet above the surrounding area and is 1,600 feet long and 980 feet wide,
Starting point is 00:12:17 and it's encircled by three moats, making the entire edifice cover a space of 5 million square feet. The Dyson Kofun is merely the largest of more than 160,000 kofuns that dot Japan. There are hundreds of these tombs built between around 300 AD to around 600 AD. So what were these? Were these really just tombs built for emperors and kings, or were they something else altogether? The keyhole shape can only be seen from the air. And we're told that the ancient Japanese did not have a means of getting into the sky to appreciate this shape.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So there's a great mystery here about why the keyhole shape. Some researchers suggest that the keyhole shape is an alien code and can be traced back to the first cofoon ever built. The first of these tombs is associated with the first historical Japanese empire. Emperor, Emperor Sujan, and whose record in the book of ancient mythology the Kojiki, a keyhole of a door actually also plays an important part. According to the story in the Kojiki, a young woman becomes impregnated by a powerful god who comes to her room through a keyhole, then gives birth to semi-divine children. So you've got to wonder if these keyhole-shaped kofa,
Starting point is 00:13:46 aren't something that were actually designed by extraterrestrials. There's something about that shape. It has meaning. Are these sites signaling somebody who is apparently in the sky? I find it fascinating that across the globe, megalithic structures are covered with mysterious lines and swirls. Are these merely decoration? Or do they have a deeper meaning?
Starting point is 00:14:18 At number six on our list, the Spiral Code. County Meath, Ireland. Here stands Ireland's most famous megalithic site, Newgrange. The ancient tomb was built with over 200,000 tons of stone blocks, many of which are covered in intricate spiral patterns. New Grange is one of the most important sites in all of Europe. Within this, we have beautiful carvings on the, the 97 curb stones that go around the edge, as well as on the main entrance stone and within
Starting point is 00:14:54 the chamber itself. Mainly spirals and most notably a triple spiral at the back of the main chamber within the actual site itself. Identical spiral patterns have been found at ancient sites across the globe. This is Andrew Collins, author of Origins of the Gods. We see certain symbols recurring again and again. These take the form of spirals, of concentric rings, and there's something that are virtually universal around the world. Many archaeologists believe spiral petroglyphs symbolize the cosmos. But ancient astronaut theorists believe they serve a more profound purpose. And as evidence, they point to spiral carvings at a 5,000-year-old archaeological site off the coast of France.
Starting point is 00:15:48 On the island of Gavrinas, there is a passage tomb, and inside there are giant stones left and right with carvings that look like fingerprints that have been carved onto the megalithic slabs. Here is Philip Coppens, author of The Ancient Alien Question. When people came to Gavrini and they began to make measurements of how these stones were placed, they began to realize that these stones weren't just. just placed haphazardly in some kind of coincidental form, but actually explained extraordinary understanding and knowledge of mathematics. Mathematicians examining the spirals speculated that their varying lengths
Starting point is 00:16:32 could indicate that they represent numbers. Based on this assumption, they determined which numbers each carving might represent and discovered a record of specific information, like the number of days in a year. But astonishingly, these things stone records include something even more incredible. When mathematicians went in there to look at this in the 1970s, they determined it showed the
Starting point is 00:17:00 longitude and latitude of Gavrhenus. How would they know about longitude and latitude? We came up with this in modern times. So how do we have that mathematical message in an archaeological sight that's at least 5,000 years old. In my opinion, the exterrestrials wanted to leave behind some type of a message, a type of secret code that needed to be deciphered by a future generation that would understand, and that generation is us.

We're coming up on the halfway point of our countdown and the next entry in our list needs no introduction. They are monumental structures that can be found on every continent,
Starting point is 00:18:26 and they were built with such precision that from the perspective of an ancient astronaut theorist, many could be of extraterrestrial design. Number five on our list of the top 10 alien codes, pyramids. In every region of the world stand ancient monuments that have been built in a sophisticated geometric form, known as pyramids. These structures are separated by,
Starting point is 00:18:54 thousands of miles, but they are strikingly similar in design. This is Richard Casaro, author of Written in Stone. There is a kind of a master blueprint that we see in the architecture, and it's not in just one or two or three civilizations. It's in all the civilizations. China, India, South America, it's there. According to the local mythologies of numerous pyramid building cultures, The inspiration to build these complex structures came from an otherworldly source. Here is William Bramley, author of The Gods of Eden.
Starting point is 00:19:35 In Mesoamerica, we have the gods associated with the construction of the pyramids. This reflects the same kind of entity that the Mesopotamians reported, that the Egyptians reported as being the architect that designed these structures. Who were the teachers of these engineering styles? The only conclusion there is is that aliens had a hand in these creations a long time ago. They're all human made, but with the assistance or a technology provided by exeterrestrials. If otherworldly beings inspired our ancestors to build pyramids, as ancient astronaut theorists contend, What was their purpose?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Perhaps clues can be found in the most famous of these structures, the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Ever since the first studies of the Great Pyramid in Egypt have been made, researchers have been amazed at the mathematical knowledge that is encoded into the Great Pyramid. The Great Pyramid is aligned to within 360th of a degree of North, a more accurate alignment than any other structure on Earth. And researchers have discovered even more profound information encoded within its design.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Here is astrophysicist and aerospace engineer Travis Taylor, Ph.D. We've discovered with satellite imagery that the pyramid, if you take its peak and measured precisely its location in degrees on the planet Earth, The number is equal to the number that is the speed of light out to many, many digits. How in the world would an ancient culture build something so precisely that we couldn't even measure until now when we had spacecraft? And if the people who built the pyramids put just in its location the speed of light, what else is in the design and placement of the pyramids? A key tenet in the ancient astronaut theory is that extraterrestrials shared knowledge with our ancestors. Compelling evidence of this can be found in an ancient Chinese text that describes an extraterrestrial language, one that is actually still used to this day.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Number four on our countdown, binary code. Today, the most prolific language in the world consists of just two characters, zero and one. zero and one. It's a language that is understood in every culture across the globe. Bionary Code. This is theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. People know that the digital revolution is based on zeros and one, zeros and ones.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Computer tape consists of 111-0-00. That's called binary. Computers use zeros and ones because zeros and ones correspond to off and on, which is the circuitry of a computer. A German mathematician Godfried Leibniz is credited with defining binary code in the 17th century. He designed a mechanical calculator that expressed numbers as zeros and ones. In turn, Leibniz credited his inspiration to the 5,000-year-old Chinese text, Aiching, an ancient oracle code used to communicate with otherworldly beings.
Starting point is 00:23:12 This is Dominic Steyavu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Religious Studies at UC Santa Barbara. The Iging is basically composed of 64 hexagrams, which are combinations of broken and unbroken lines, binary combinations. It was heavily used in divination. You can use it and people still do very easily. You can flip a coin, for example, six times, and every time that it lands on heads, you draw a full line.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Every time that it lands on tails, you draw a broken line. And then when you have six of these, you come up with your hexagram. And each of these hexagrams has a kind of cosmic symbolism, and then there's a kind of oracular inscription that you're supposed to decipher. According to mythology, the Aichiing was created by Emperor Fushi, after he was visited by an otherworldly being. It was said that one day he was on the Yellow River, and a water dragon appeared to him.
Starting point is 00:24:14 And on the back of this water dragon was revealed to them the I-King, and therefore we can see this system as in some way having come from the stars originally. Could the A-Ching have been an attempt by extraterrestrials to set up a common communication language with mankind using binary code? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest evidence can be found by examining a famous UFO encounter that occurred in Suffolk. County, England. On December 26, 1980, Sergeant James Peniston and Airman John Burroughs were performing a routine security check at a U.S. Air Force base in Randlesham Forest when they reportedly encountered a large extraterrestrial craft. Here is Sergeant Peniston. The craft was triangular in shape, measuring about six to seven feet high, black in color, I had come around to the far side of the craft,
Starting point is 00:25:12 and that's what I noticed that there was, you know, inscription on the side. Instead of something familiar, I see these pictorial-type glyphs and got running my hand over the side of the craft. I don't know how to explain this. It's like someone who's holding a picture up, okay? I could see it in my mind's eye, zeros, ones. So I recorded those one after another. This is Nick Pope, former member of the UK Ministry of Defense.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Years later, a computer programmer took this information, ran it through a translation program, and a message emerged. The message read, Exploration of Humanity, Continuous for Planetary Advance. Jim Penniston came up with all this information. without knowing a thing in real life about binary code and binary messages. Is it possible that extraterrestrials are using binary code as a common language to communicate with mankind? Who's to say that extraterrestrials wouldn't choose to communicate via ones and zeros? With ones and zeros, you've got binary code. With binary code, you can write a message.
Starting point is 00:26:33 And perhaps that is something. Perhaps that is the language of the cosmos, and that's how to communicate with them. One of my most favorite places to explore is India. Its mythology is chock-full of stories of powerful gods who came from the sky and possessed astonishing technology, like flying craft called Vimanas. And there is evidence that the secret to this technology has been encoded within complex geometric symbols that are set to a very much. been designed by the gods.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Number three, on our countdown of the top 10 alien codes, Mandalayas. More than 5,000 years ago, the Indus Valley civilization emerged in the Punjab region of modern-day India and Pakistan. Its people produced the foundational text for Hinduism, which is widely regarded as the world's oldest religion, and today has more than one billion followers. The earliest of these texts, called the Vedas, described how the gods provided humankind with a visual guide to sacred sounds.
Starting point is 00:27:44 They are represented in elaborate patterns called mandolas. The Vedas tell us that the gods taught humans how to chant, how to pray and to sing in order to communicate with the gods. Here is Praveen Mohan, founder of Phenomenal Place. Mandela's are mnemonic devices used to age. meditation often in tandem with chanting. So what they're doing is they're essentially translating sound into visual patterns. Mandalay's are important components in both Hindu and Buddhist faiths. For ancient astronaut theorists, what is most intriguing about mandala's is the visual patterns do, in fact, have a scientific
Starting point is 00:28:32 connection to the sacred sounds they are said to represent. This was a was discovered thanks to an 18th century German physicist named Ernst Claudni, who is known as the father of acoustics. In 1787, Claudi's book, discoveries in the theory of sound revealed that the application of sound vibrations to grains of sand on a metal plate creates complex geometric shapes, now known as somatic patterns. This is Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Director of Center for Neurocoustic Research. We've got this thin metal plate like a sounding board, and we've got a transducer attached
Starting point is 00:29:10 to the bottom of it, and they spread sand over the top of this plate, and we start playing certain tones, and those sand particles will start to bounce around and dance around, and they start to form these mathematical circular patterns. And as we move up through these frequencies, the sand goes into kind of a chaos in-between state and then it arrives at this next pattern. And the higher the frequency you go, the more of these patterns become more complex. For Hindus and Buddhists, the most important sacred sound is Ome. For centuries, the sound has been depicted in mandala's by a circle with a dot in the middle. Incredibly, the sound, Ome, produces a cymatic pattern that perfectly matches this depiction.
Starting point is 00:30:02 sounds also create patterns that are found in ancient mandalay. Is it conceivable that the writers of the ancient Vedic texts were given advanced knowledge on how sound frequencies can be converted into visual patterns? Is it therefore possible that sound is an important means of communication with such higher intelligences? Could Mandalayas, contain an otherworldly message for humanity that is based on sacred sounds. Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest evidence can be found at the Sri Rangana the Swami Temple in southern India. Standing in the temple's courtyard are 40 ornate statues that depict Vimanas, vehicles that
Starting point is 00:30:53 according to Sanskrit texts were navigated by the gods. The word Vimana in ancient Vedic text means flying machines. In Hinduism, it is clearly established that the gods come down from the sky using Vimanas. And in the temple of Sri Rangam, these carvings show many different types of Vimanas. And what's really unique is that under these Vimanas, we are able to see some very very, very interesting patterns of Mandela. According to legend, each type of imamana can be activated with a specific type of Mandela. I believe that much of ancient technology was activated with specific types of frequencies. And if we
Starting point is 00:31:53 crack this visual code, if we crack this cymatic pattern, we might actually unlock the secret to power these vimanas. For all the alien codes we've examined on ancient aliens, some of the most mysterious are massive impressions that randomly appear in fields all over the world. And what's most interesting to me is that these complex patterns may be encoded with otherworldly messages.
Starting point is 00:32:29 At number two on our countdown, Crop Circles Winchester, England, April 24th, 2022. A mysterious geometric pattern emerges in a field of mustard plants. The perfectly symmetrical design is a phenomenon known as a crop circle. Here is archaeologist Mark Olly. Crop circles are basically features, designs, illustrations of high complexity in crops.
Starting point is 00:33:01 crops. They tend to be complicated designs of unknown origin. Crop circles range from small disks to elaborate pictograms hundreds of feet across. They have been found in various crops, including wheat, barley, oil seed rape, and corn. This is Richard Taylor, Ph.D., head of physics at University of Oregon. In terms of the patterns themselves, they've been undergoing this amazing sort of ramp up in sophistication. You can find these huge, what they call pictographs, that span hundreds of feet across a whole field and feature multiple components. And they're arranged with mathematical precision. Crop circles appear in more than 50 countries.
Starting point is 00:33:49 And there literally have been thousands of them. Maybe over 10,000 crop circles that we're aware of in the modern era. Here is Earth Files investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe. One of the first in 1966, it was Tully Queensland, Australia. A farmer heard a buzzing sound and literally saw this big round, maybe 30 feet diameter craft, disk, rising up out of what essentially was marshy, reedy ground. And it goes up and disappears and left behind the circle. He finds a circular area where the grass in the swamp or the reeds are matted down.
Starting point is 00:34:36 This is reported in the Australian press and they start labeling these UFO nests or flying saucer nests. Something keeps laying things down in sequence as if it has a big picture of how it is communicating with this planet. But it is doing so in pieces. What in the world is making these patterns and why? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the answer may be encoded within the crop circles themselves and might have critical implications for mankind. As evidence, they point to an elaborate formation that appeared in Routen, England, in 2008. One formation had everyone baffled and people were saying, well, what is this?
Starting point is 00:35:22 Then a mathematician had a look at it and said, wait a minute, that's a representative. of Pi, and it's correct down to 10 decimal places. This is Michael Denin, PhD, Professor of Physics at UC Irvine. It's a representation of Pi in a geometric sense. It's kind of interesting because the way you get pie out of it is the lengths of the different arcs in each segment. And what happens is there's these little notches in the spiral that let you know you're at the end of an arc.
Starting point is 00:35:53 So you actually have to measure the arc lengths as you go around, go around and their lengths give you the digits of pi. And there's a little circle to give you the decimal point. So it's a really interesting example of using geometry as a code for representing digits and numbers. Many of the most famous crop circles actually derive from fractal patterns, which is a mathematical shape. The Mandelbrot set, the Julia set. To make these, you have to have knowledge. of math. Mathematics is of course the universal language. Could crop circles, as some
Starting point is 00:36:33 believe, be an attempt from an alien civilization to reach out and communicate with us? There is only one alien code left on our countdown and we've definitely saved the best for last because this code is one that we're all carrying with us. So far on our countdown of the top alien codes, we've investigated extraordinary sights and analyzed mysterious symbols. But as far as I'm concerned, the most compelling discovery won't be found in an ancient structure, but in a message hidden inside the human body. Coming in at number one, the genetic code. Silves Portugal, 1984.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Farmers digging a well come across a mysterious, object 15 feet beneath the earth, a six-foot-long carved limestone egg. Known as the Algarve egg, it has been dated to at least 3,500 BC, and scientists conclude it could be even older. But what interest ancient astronaut theorists the most is a mysterious pattern etched on its surface. When we look at the Algarve egg, it had a symbol on it that looked like intertwined serpents. or they can also be interpreted as DNA strands.
Starting point is 00:38:01 And the idea of the double helix wasn't invented or wasn't discovered by us human beings until well into the 20th century. Is it possible that the design found on the algarve egg shows the DNA double helix? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that this genetic symbol can be found throughout the ancient world. The DNA spiral is shown on different antique rocks and steelists. Just for example, look at the Sumerian steelists. There you see so-called flying geniuses or winged geniuses. Between these winged geniuses is something which archaeology calls the tree of life.
Starting point is 00:38:48 But if you look at the tree of life, it's in reality a DNA. How is it possible that the double helix appears in ancient carvings and artwork when it wasn't discovered by modern scientists until 1953? Ancient astronaut theorists suggest clues have been hidden within our own cells. In 2013, Kazakhstanist Vladimir Sherbach and Maxumakoukhov published a shocking proposal, that there is an intelligent code that can be found in our own. DNA. They concluded that there was a certain amount of mathematical precision and what's known
Starting point is 00:39:34 as a digital checking built into our DNA like computer codes have, checking codes to make sure that all the other codes are right. Ever since the theory of evolution was introduced by Charles Darwin in 1859, scientists have searched for a so-called missing link. that connects humans to our hominid ancestors. Ancient astronaut theorists suggest this evolutionary leap was made by extraterrestrial manipulation of our DNA. We've always suggested that the ultimate proof
Starting point is 00:40:08 for the ancient astronaut theory will not happen because we'll discover a buried spaceship somewhere or a ray gun in a tomb, but rather inside of our own DNA. Believe it or not, I have colleagues of mine looking for secret messages in our DNA. And some of my friends take this to the nth degree and say maybe aliens from out of space have left us a message. Maybe there's a message there hidden by an advanced civilization and that says, here we are, folks, we created you. And to prove it, we left the code for you in your
Starting point is 00:40:53 DNA. Well, we can't rule it out. The idea that extraterrestrials placed a hidden message in our DNA is not only sensational, but also entirely possible. And one thing is clear, whether they're standing stones, elaborate mandolas, or massive geoglyphs, perhaps by deciphering these alien codes, we will unlock the truth about our extraterrestrial past.
