Did ancient aliens really help 23 00:01:19,361 --> 00:01:24,564 to shape our history? And if so, might the secrets of 24 00:01:24,566 --> 00:01:28,368 the universe be revealed by examining the incredible power 25 00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:30,322 of three? 26 00:01:48,923 --> 00:01:52,223 sync and corrections by bellows www.addic7ed.com 27 00:02:01,124 --> 00:02:02,824 Newgrange, Ireland. 28 00:02:05,191 --> 00:02:06,991 The walls of this 5,000-year-old 29 00:02:06,992 --> 00:02:11,745 passage tomb are decorated with mysterious designs made up of 30 00:02:11,747 --> 00:02:14,252 three connected spirals. 31 00:02:15,153 --> 00:02:17,753 Yunnan Province, China. 32 00:02:18,254 --> 00:02:23,090 Three 1,100-year-old Buddhist temples known as the Three 33 00:02:23,092 --> 00:02:28,028 Pagodas form a triangle thought to protect the population from 34 00:02:28,030 --> 00:02:29,766 natural disasters. 35 00:02:30,767 --> 00:02:32,767 Ancient Greece. 36 00:02:32,768 --> 00:02:37,938 According to myth, the destiny of gods and men is controlled by 37 00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:42,027 all-powerful beings known as the Three Fates. 38 00:02:44,029 --> 00:02:48,031 Various cultures across the world have long shared a belief 39 00:02:48,033 --> 00:02:53,036 that the number three represents something sacred, mystical, 40 00:02:53,038 --> 00:02:55,107 even divine. 41 00:02:57,009 --> 00:02:59,459 All human beings understand numbers. 42 00:02:59,461 --> 00:03:01,828 All of us live in a physical universe where things come in 43 00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:05,465 different numbers, and so different cultures will 44 00:03:05,467 --> 00:03:07,968 highlight different numbers as particularly important, 45 00:03:07,970 --> 00:03:12,022 ritualize them and make them culturally important. 46 00:03:12,024 --> 00:03:15,475 We see widespread use of the number three in European 47 00:03:15,477 --> 00:03:19,146 traditions, but also we see it in selected traditions around 48 00:03:19,148 --> 00:03:22,249 the world, too. These number traditions can 49 00:03:22,251 --> 00:03:25,886 become very, very powerful and connect cultures together. 50 00:03:25,888 --> 00:03:28,822 The unique reverence for the number three 51 00:03:28,824 --> 00:03:33,910 dates back thousands of years, and can still be found today 52 00:03:33,912 --> 00:03:40,668 in art, architecture, mythology, literature, science, and religion. 53 00:03:40,669 --> 00:03:45,055 But why? 54 00:03:45,057 --> 00:03:49,176 What is it about this number that has continued to hold such 55 00:03:49,178 --> 00:03:51,614 significance for mankind? 56 00:03:53,315 --> 00:03:57,684 If you think of our lives, we have a past, a present, and a future. 57 00:03:57,686 --> 00:04:01,521 Our story falls neatly into three. 58 00:04:01,523 --> 00:04:05,991 Throughout folklore and mythology, we find the number three. 59 00:04:05,993 --> 00:04:08,395 Something about three is trying 60 00:04:08,397 --> 00:04:12,399 to get our attention, trying to tell us something. 61 00:04:12,401 --> 00:04:17,120 The number three comes up many, many times 62 00:04:17,122 --> 00:04:21,792 in Judeo-Christian scriptures. Jonah is in the belly of the 63 00:04:21,794 --> 00:04:26,713 whale for three days. In Genesis, the waters are 64 00:04:26,715 --> 00:04:30,600 separated from the earth after three days. 65 00:04:30,602 --> 00:04:34,137 In the New Testament, Jesus in the tomb for three days. 66 00:04:34,139 --> 00:04:38,558 There's just a special significance there. 67 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,729 We see the number three in sacred texts. 68 00:04:42,731 --> 00:04:45,399 And why is that? Is there something within us 69 00:04:45,401 --> 00:04:50,003 that is hardwired to understand that three is a sacred number? 70 00:04:50,005 --> 00:04:51,955 And where does this come from? 71 00:04:56,257 --> 00:04:58,946 The Giza Plateau, Egypt. 72 00:04:59,748 --> 00:05:05,168 Three Great Pyramids line the desert just outside of Cairo. 73 00:05:05,170 --> 00:05:09,589 Constructed more than 4,000 years ago, this unique trio of 74 00:05:09,591 --> 00:05:16,263 monuments is arguably the most recognizable in all the world. 75 00:05:16,265 --> 00:05:20,016 The pyramids also employ the most magnificent use of 76 00:05:20,018 --> 00:05:22,602 triangles in architecture. 77 00:05:22,604 --> 00:05:25,605 You had in ancient Egypt what we might think of 78 00:05:25,607 --> 00:05:28,475 as a masonic tradition. There were the builders 79 00:05:28,477 --> 00:05:32,612 themselves, who embodied the knowledge of geometry, the 80 00:05:32,614 --> 00:05:36,450 knowledge of tool-making, and how to put buildings together, 81 00:05:36,452 --> 00:05:41,204 and especially how to create buildings that were themselves 82 00:05:41,206 --> 00:05:47,627 vehicles for initiating or inducing higher consciousness. 83 00:05:47,629 --> 00:05:50,464 The Giza pyramids are very interesting in 84 00:05:50,466 --> 00:05:53,133 that you have three major pyramids. 85 00:05:53,135 --> 00:05:57,304 Their sides are triangles. Think of the triangle. 86 00:05:57,306 --> 00:06:01,674 The simplest, most perfect geometric form. 87 00:06:01,676 --> 00:06:07,030 The ancients were certainly intrigued by geometry, 88 00:06:07,032 --> 00:06:11,985 indeed sacred geometry. And certainly a triangle is one 89 00:06:11,987 --> 00:06:17,207 of those basic archetypal shapes that perhaps is hardwired into 90 00:06:17,209 --> 00:06:22,662 the human consciousness, and this may find expression in 91 00:06:22,664 --> 00:06:24,417 monuments such as the pyramids. 92 00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:29,836 You've got that progress towards perfection, towards the top of 93 00:06:29,838 --> 00:06:32,672 the triangle. It's a very upward-directed, 94 00:06:32,674 --> 00:06:35,926 higher-directed shape, and I think we kind of get that on 95 00:06:35,928 --> 00:06:38,162 a subconscious level. 96 00:06:38,764 --> 00:06:41,881 So there is a sense in which the number 97 00:06:41,883 --> 00:06:45,252 three... in the form of the triangle, in the form of the 98 00:06:45,254 --> 00:06:51,691 apex of the pyramid... represents a portal, a gateway into 99 00:06:51,693 --> 00:06:56,661 another realm. You might say it's a "realm of the gods." 100 00:06:57,963 --> 00:07:02,452 Do the three pyramids of Giza really represent some sort of portal 101 00:07:02,454 --> 00:07:06,456 to a divine realm? Perhaps more clues about the 102 00:07:06,458 --> 00:07:10,076 sacred nature of the triangle can be found by examining the 103 00:07:10,078 --> 00:07:14,847 work of one of the most celebrated mathematicians of all time. 104 00:07:18,020 --> 00:07:19,220 Samos, Greece. 105 00:07:19,421 --> 00:07:23,923 Sixth century BC. Greek mathematician and 106 00:07:23,925 --> 00:07:28,228 philosopher Pythagoras introduces his famous theorem: 107 00:07:28,230 --> 00:07:33,400 A squared + B squared = C squared. 108 00:07:33,402 --> 00:07:36,570 The formula explains the mathematical relationship 109 00:07:36,572 --> 00:07:41,658 between the three sides of right triangles, and some believe it 110 00:07:41,660 --> 00:07:46,746 was originally based on the design of the Egyptian pyramids. 111 00:07:46,748 --> 00:07:49,666 Pythagoras lived 2,500 years ago. 112 00:07:49,668 --> 00:07:54,921 It is said that he studied with the great teachers of Egypt. 113 00:07:54,923 --> 00:07:58,592 And he brought the wisdom of Egypt back to Greece. 114 00:07:58,594 --> 00:08:02,629 That, in effect, was the birth of Greek philosophy. 115 00:08:02,631 --> 00:08:04,648 For Pythagoras, and for a lot of 116 00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:08,134 ancient philosophers, mathematics was a kind of more 117 00:08:08,136 --> 00:08:12,138 precise description of the supernatural. 118 00:08:12,140 --> 00:08:14,774 They're coming to terms with man's place on this earth and 119 00:08:14,776 --> 00:08:17,110 one of the ways you do that is by measurements, and 120 00:08:17,112 --> 00:08:19,812 measurements have to develop, and when they develop, they 121 00:08:19,814 --> 00:08:22,115 develop more complex mathematics. 122 00:08:22,117 --> 00:08:24,784 And Pythagoras is one of the very early philosophers 123 00:08:24,786 --> 00:08:26,855 to really develop this stuff. 124 00:08:28,057 --> 00:08:30,725 Pythagoras taught that everything in the universe 125 00:08:30,727 --> 00:08:32,992 has a three-part structure. 126 00:08:32,994 --> 00:08:36,630 And every problem in the universe can be reduced 127 00:08:36,632 --> 00:08:41,384 diagrammatically to a triangle. To Pythagoras and his followers, 128 00:08:41,386 --> 00:08:44,137 the triangle represented ascension, and the triangle 129 00:08:44,139 --> 00:08:47,557 itself, and number three, was the key to all hidden mysteries. 130 00:08:51,059 --> 00:08:52,145 In Carnac, France 131 00:08:52,147 --> 00:08:56,650 there are thousands of megalithic standing stones that 132 00:08:56,652 --> 00:09:02,489 are over 6,000 years old, and many of them are in the form of 133 00:09:02,491 --> 00:09:06,159 a right triangle, or a Pythagorean triangle. 134 00:09:06,161 --> 00:09:12,062 And they were built many thousands of years before Pythagoras. 135 00:09:12,264 --> 00:09:14,099 These same geometric 136 00:09:14,101 --> 00:09:17,870 relationships of the right triangle have also been found 137 00:09:17,872 --> 00:09:24,043 at Avebury and Stonehenge, and you have to ask yourself, does 138 00:09:24,045 --> 00:09:28,181 the Pythagorean triangle represent some kind of special 139 00:09:28,183 --> 00:09:34,154 extraterrestrial geometry? A geometry of threes? 140 00:09:36,056 --> 00:09:39,693 The bottom line is that "A" squared plus "B" 141 00:09:39,695 --> 00:09:45,181 squared equals "C" squared" applies to the entire universe. 142 00:09:45,866 --> 00:09:49,619 And so, for Pythagoras to come up with this, of course, is 143 00:09:49,621 --> 00:09:54,207 extraordinary, but he was not the first. 144 00:09:54,209 --> 00:09:57,127 We know that Pythagoras got this information 145 00:09:57,129 --> 00:09:59,713 from ancient Egypt. And the ancient Egyptians 146 00:09:59,715 --> 00:10:03,967 themselves say that this was knowledge from the gods. 147 00:10:03,969 --> 00:10:07,220 So what we have is a situation whereby the ancient Egyptians 148 00:10:07,222 --> 00:10:10,473 got this information from a non-human intelligence, from an 149 00:10:10,475 --> 00:10:13,727 extraterrestrial source, preserved it in secret for 150 00:10:13,729 --> 00:10:17,480 thousands of years. And Pythagoras is really the 151 00:10:17,482 --> 00:10:21,768 first one to take it outside of Egypt, and, basically, begin to 152 00:10:21,770 --> 00:10:26,072 speak to the world about what it is, what the ancient Egyptians 153 00:10:26,074 --> 00:10:31,044 knew about this divine information. 154 00:10:31,046 --> 00:10:35,165 Did Pythagoras really get his knowledge of 155 00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:38,752 geometry and its profound connection to the universe 156 00:10:38,754 --> 00:10:41,272 from an otherworldly source? 157 00:10:41,573 --> 00:10:48,011 Pythagorean triangle may contain wisdom that we still haven't understood in 158 00:10:48,013 --> 00:10:52,298 terms of how physical, terrestrial geometry connects to 159 00:10:52,300 --> 00:10:57,103 extraterrestrial domains that may coexist with our own. 160 00:10:57,105 --> 00:11:00,106 Did extraterrestrial visitors 161 00:11:00,108 --> 00:11:03,309 provide early humans with advanced mathematical 162 00:11:03,311 --> 00:11:06,696 information? Information that would help them 163 00:11:06,698 --> 00:11:09,949 unlock the secrets of the universe? 164 00:11:09,951 --> 00:11:14,654 And if so, why? And what is the secret of the 165 00:11:14,656 --> 00:11:17,874 number three? Is it a code? 166 00:11:17,876 --> 00:11:21,628 Or could it be a gateway to communication with mankind's 167 00:11:21,630 --> 00:11:26,633 alien ancestors? Ancient astronaut theorists 168 00:11:26,635 --> 00:11:30,220 believe further evidence can be found by examining a mysterious 169 00:11:30,222 --> 00:11:36,976 artifact, one that could very well change the world. 170 00:11:43,459 --> 00:11:47,459 Cambridge University, England. 171 00:11:49,301 --> 00:11:54,421 Here in the library of this 800-year-old institution are the 172 00:11:54,423 --> 00:11:57,841 research papers of Sir Isaac Newton. 173 00:11:57,843 --> 00:12:02,595 One of the most influential scientists of the 17th century, 174 00:12:02,597 --> 00:12:07,382 Newton introduced what became the basis of all modern physics: 175 00:12:08,784 --> 00:12:10,970 the three laws of motion. 176 00:12:11,572 --> 00:12:13,606 One of the things I think we often forget 177 00:12:13,608 --> 00:12:17,444 about people like Newton... he was also very much into alchemy, 178 00:12:17,446 --> 00:12:20,430 and he was very much a mystic himself. 179 00:12:20,432 --> 00:12:24,167 In mystical circles and in alchemy, three is considered a 180 00:12:24,169 --> 00:12:27,253 powerful number. So, it was natural for people 181 00:12:27,255 --> 00:12:30,090 to try and write things in threes and break it down into 182 00:12:30,092 --> 00:12:34,461 threes and use that principal to communicate information. 183 00:12:34,463 --> 00:12:41,048 Alchemy was a hope of early magicians or chemists. 184 00:12:41,050 --> 00:12:41,968 The idea was that maybe if they 185 00:12:41,970 --> 00:12:44,020 could just figure out how to combine different materials 186 00:12:44,022 --> 00:12:46,723 together, they could wind up with something precious. 187 00:12:46,725 --> 00:12:49,476 There was a longstanding interest in it, and a lot of 188 00:12:49,478 --> 00:12:51,978 sort of early scientific developments and even ideas of 189 00:12:51,980 --> 00:12:55,116 chemistry came from this practice. 190 00:12:57,985 --> 00:13:00,870 Included among Newton's writings on philosophy, 191 00:13:00,872 --> 00:13:06,493 astronomy and mathematics is a cryptic translation of an 192 00:13:06,495 --> 00:13:09,829 ancient document that has fascinated alchemists for 193 00:13:09,831 --> 00:13:17,554 centuries... an emerald tablet. Carved on green crystal, the 194 00:13:17,556 --> 00:13:21,174 tablet is believed to be one of several that contained, not 195 00:13:21,176 --> 00:13:25,929 only information on the practice of alchemy, but the secrets of 196 00:13:25,931 --> 00:13:31,101 the universe. But although it is referenced by 197 00:13:31,103 --> 00:13:35,772 Newton and written about in numerous other ancient texts, 198 00:13:35,774 --> 00:13:39,075 the existence of the so-called emerald tablets is largely 199 00:13:39,077 --> 00:13:42,212 thought to be a myth. 200 00:13:43,864 --> 00:13:47,534 The emerald tablet or tablets contained, 201 00:13:47,536 --> 00:13:52,255 perhaps, the most fundamental ancient wisdom. 202 00:13:52,257 --> 00:13:55,592 The ancient wisdom of transmutation. 203 00:13:55,594 --> 00:14:03,600 The secrets of longevity, the secrets of the cosmos. 204 00:14:03,602 --> 00:14:08,704 And there are many different legends about this tablet or tablets. 205 00:14:08,706 --> 00:14:11,057 Some people say that they were 206 00:14:11,059 --> 00:14:14,913 found in the Great Pyramid thousands of years ago. 207 00:14:16,815 --> 00:14:20,617 The so-called emerald tablet had the secrets 208 00:14:20,619 --> 00:14:23,953 of alchemy. And alchemy itself wasn't just 209 00:14:23,955 --> 00:14:30,074 about the transmutation of base matter into a pure state, into gold. 210 00:14:30,276 --> 00:14:33,413 But it was about the knowledge 211 00:14:33,415 --> 00:14:39,803 of the secrets of the universe, about how we, ourselves, could 212 00:14:39,805 --> 00:14:44,740 transform ourself, and become at one with the universe as a whole. 213 00:14:45,342 --> 00:14:46,726 The emerald tablets 214 00:14:46,728 --> 00:14:50,313 have a very interesting phrase. "Three is the great mystery, 215 00:14:50,315 --> 00:14:54,818 come from the great one." It says that three is the great 216 00:14:54,820 --> 00:14:57,320 mystery that unifies the universe. 217 00:14:57,322 --> 00:15:01,608 It says that power, wisdom, awareness all arises from this 218 00:15:01,610 --> 00:15:04,828 interplay of three. 219 00:15:04,829 --> 00:15:04,829 What we're being 220 00:15:04,830 --> 00:15:08,998 confronted with in the emerald tablets is basically this notion 221 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,002 that if we take two substances, we can make a third substance 222 00:15:13,004 --> 00:15:15,622 out of this. Three, as such, is always the 223 00:15:15,624 --> 00:15:18,625 power of transformation. It is the end result for the 224 00:15:18,627 --> 00:15:22,011 alchemist, basically saying, I took certain things, and I 225 00:15:22,013 --> 00:15:27,080 created something new, and that is represented by the third element. 226 00:15:29,186 --> 00:15:32,188 The information was written down which basically detailed 227 00:15:32,190 --> 00:15:35,308 that if anybody were to possess this knowledge, he would become 228 00:15:35,310 --> 00:15:41,281 a master of life, a master over death, an almost supernatural 229 00:15:41,283 --> 00:15:44,603 being who could do anything at will. 230 00:15:46,705 --> 00:15:49,706 Were early scientists like Isaac Newton 231 00:15:49,708 --> 00:15:53,660 seeking extraterrestrial knowledge? 232 00:15:53,662 --> 00:15:58,665 And was that knowledge based, in part, on a unique power inherent 233 00:15:58,667 --> 00:16:02,201 in the number three? 234 00:16:02,203 --> 00:16:08,725 Perhaps answers can be found by taking a closer look at the man 235 00:16:08,727 --> 00:16:12,145 many believe to be the author of the emerald tablets... Hermes 236 00:16:12,147 --> 00:16:15,715 Trismegistus. 237 00:16:16,901 --> 00:16:19,852 Starting in the fourth century B.C., a character 238 00:16:19,854 --> 00:16:23,022 develops called Hermes Trismegistus. 239 00:16:23,024 --> 00:16:25,942 His name just means "Hermes thrice great." 240 00:16:25,944 --> 00:16:29,746 So, Hermes Trismegistus is the Hellenistic Egyptian version of 241 00:16:29,748 --> 00:16:34,033 the Greek Hermes, and he's associated with the Egyptian 242 00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:38,254 god, Thoth. And so, for that reason, 243 00:16:38,256 --> 00:16:41,925 primarily, he becomes associated with his magical practices of 244 00:16:41,927 --> 00:16:46,344 theurgy, which is doing the works of the gods, influencing the world. 245 00:16:49,016 --> 00:16:50,216 And at some point, 246 00:16:50,217 --> 00:16:53,720 as the Greeks moved into Egypt, and the Romans moved into 247 00:16:53,722 --> 00:16:57,941 Egypt, there was an endeavor to correlate the Egyptian 248 00:16:57,943 --> 00:17:01,277 traditions with the Greek and Roman traditions. 249 00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:05,732 And so, you had this connection between Thoth and Hermes. 250 00:17:05,734 --> 00:17:12,288 And the idea in both cases is, this is the deity that is the 251 00:17:12,290 --> 00:17:16,876 messenger, or the link, between our human realm, and the higher 252 00:17:16,878 --> 00:17:18,781 realm of the gods. 253 00:17:21,382 --> 00:17:23,082 According to some legends, 254 00:17:23,083 --> 00:17:28,103 he was a reincarnation of Thoth, the ancient scribe of Egypt. 255 00:17:28,305 --> 00:17:29,906 The scribe of the gods. 256 00:17:30,308 --> 00:17:35,762 He was an individual who brought knowledge, who brought wisdom. 257 00:17:35,764 --> 00:17:40,733 He was considered thrice-great, three times great. 258 00:17:42,835 --> 00:17:47,156 Hermes descended from the sky in what was 259 00:17:47,158 --> 00:17:52,662 considered to be a flying ship. And we have the exact same story 260 00:17:52,664 --> 00:17:57,116 in Ancient Egypt with Thoth, also having descended from the 261 00:17:57,118 --> 00:18:02,121 sky, and his whole premise was to teach the people in 262 00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,642 scientific disciplines. 263 00:18:06,344 --> 00:18:09,429 Was Hermes Trismegistus really the 264 00:18:09,431 --> 00:18:13,016 reincarnation of the Egyptian God Thoth? 265 00:18:13,018 --> 00:18:18,021 And, if so, did he serve as a messenger between man and the 266 00:18:18,023 --> 00:18:24,027 Gods, as the ancient Greeks believed? Or might he have been, 267 00:18:24,029 --> 00:18:29,248 as ancient astronaut theorists contend, an extraterrestrial being? 268 00:18:29,250 --> 00:18:31,150 One who brought mankind the 269 00:18:31,152 --> 00:18:34,987 knowledge of the universe in the form of emerald tablets? 270 00:18:34,989 --> 00:18:38,207 The emerald tablets are a fascinating body of 271 00:18:38,209 --> 00:18:42,328 knowledge. It gives rise to the idea that 272 00:18:42,330 --> 00:18:45,131 many different systems... whether we're dealing with physics 273 00:18:45,133 --> 00:18:48,835 systems, or systems of consciousness, systems of 274 00:18:48,837 --> 00:18:51,838 philosophy, systems of religion... will always be 275 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,542 underlined by this prevalence of the number three. 276 00:18:57,845 --> 00:19:01,647 So, you have to ask yourself, is the emerald 277 00:19:01,649 --> 00:19:05,401 tablet some kind of extraterrestrial knowledge 278 00:19:05,403 --> 00:19:12,492 that's been handed down to us? So, maybe the key to immortality 279 00:19:12,494 --> 00:19:18,498 is written in the emerald tablet in a code of threes. 280 00:19:18,500 --> 00:19:22,168 Did extraterrestrial messengers 281 00:19:22,170 --> 00:19:26,589 really give mankind the secrets of the universe, as ancient 282 00:19:26,591 --> 00:19:30,877 astronaut theorists suggest? And is one of the keys to 283 00:19:30,879 --> 00:19:36,048 rediscovering that knowledge related to the number three? 284 00:19:36,050 --> 00:19:40,219 Perhaps another clue can be found by examining a mysterious 285 00:19:40,221 --> 00:19:44,774 gland... inside the human brain. 286 00:19:49,609 --> 00:19:55,881 Washington, D.C. April, 2013. 287 00:19:55,883 --> 00:20:00,019 We have a chance to improve the lives of, 288 00:20:00,021 --> 00:20:03,389 not just millions, but billions of people on this planet through 289 00:20:03,391 --> 00:20:05,076 the research that's done. 290 00:20:05,677 --> 00:20:11,464 U.S. President Barack Obama unveils an ambitious government-funded 291 00:20:11,466 --> 00:20:16,469 research project designed to map the human brain. 292 00:20:16,471 --> 00:20:22,207 Titled, the "BRAIN" Initiative, the program promises to shed new 293 00:20:22,209 --> 00:20:28,681 light on how human beings learn, think, remember and create. 294 00:20:29,900 --> 00:20:32,401 So there are many things that science still 295 00:20:32,403 --> 00:20:34,904 does not understand about how the human brain works. 296 00:20:34,906 --> 00:20:38,908 There's a hundred billion neurons in the brain, and then, 297 00:20:38,910 --> 00:20:42,244 there's about a hundred thousand trillion connections possible. 298 00:20:42,246 --> 00:20:45,915 If we can understand that, if we can crack the neural code, it'll 299 00:20:45,917 --> 00:20:48,734 unlock a lot of answers to understanding things like 300 00:20:48,736 --> 00:20:51,069 disease and how to cure them. And it really is the final 301 00:20:51,071 --> 00:20:54,623 frontier of human anatomy. 302 00:20:55,926 --> 00:20:58,928 Just how the human brain functions has remained a 303 00:20:58,930 --> 00:21:03,933 mystery that has puzzled mankind for thousands of years. 304 00:21:03,935 --> 00:21:07,686 But according to many ancient cultures and religions, 305 00:21:07,688 --> 00:21:11,690 the workings of the brain are not the mere workings of a human 306 00:21:11,692 --> 00:21:16,595 organ, but are linked to something much more profound, 307 00:21:16,597 --> 00:21:20,168 something of extraterrestrial origin. 308 00:21:22,770 --> 00:21:32,127 Lidder Valley, Northern India. Here on a snow-covered mountain 309 00:21:32,129 --> 00:21:36,632 in the heart of the Himalayas, lies the Amarnath Cave. 310 00:21:36,634 --> 00:21:40,486 Every summer, thousands of Hindus make the treacherous 311 00:21:40,488 --> 00:21:44,473 journey through the steep terrain to witness the formation 312 00:21:44,475 --> 00:21:48,627 of a massive vertical ice stalagmite thought to represent 313 00:21:48,629 --> 00:21:53,465 Lord Shiva, one of the most powerful gods of Hinduism. 314 00:21:53,467 --> 00:21:57,987 According to mythology, it was in this cave that Shiva revealed 315 00:21:57,989 --> 00:22:02,992 the secrets of creation to his goddess wife Parvati. 316 00:22:02,994 --> 00:22:05,995 There are three great divine energies in 317 00:22:05,997 --> 00:22:10,649 the Hindu imagination involved in the creation story. 318 00:22:10,651 --> 00:22:15,004 Brahma actually creates things. This is the great god, Brahma, 319 00:22:15,006 --> 00:22:20,009 brings things into being. Vishnu maintains reality, and 320 00:22:20,011 --> 00:22:23,095 Shiva destroys. Now Shiva is just as important 321 00:22:23,097 --> 00:22:25,497 as the other two divine energies. 322 00:22:25,499 --> 00:22:30,519 In fact, the trinity would not exist without the destruction. 323 00:22:30,521 --> 00:22:34,690 You cannot have renewal, you cannot have continued growth 324 00:22:34,692 --> 00:22:36,579 without the destructive energy. 325 00:22:39,380 --> 00:22:41,180 In Hinduism, Shiva 326 00:22:41,181 --> 00:22:45,200 is often pictured with a trident, the prongs representing 327 00:22:45,202 --> 00:22:51,707 will, action and knowledge. 328 00:22:51,709 --> 00:22:56,462 He is also often illustrated as having a third eye in the middle 329 00:22:56,464 --> 00:22:59,364 of his forehead. But why? 330 00:22:59,366 --> 00:23:02,885 In the iconography, he is clearly 331 00:23:02,887 --> 00:23:07,739 depicted with a vertical third eye right in the middle of his forehead. 332 00:23:07,741 --> 00:23:13,411 With that eye, he can see things. He has clairvoyance. 333 00:23:13,413 --> 00:23:17,566 When his eye opens, it also radiates a lot of energy through 334 00:23:17,568 --> 00:23:22,721 that eye. And then when that is opened up, 335 00:23:22,723 --> 00:23:26,725 then everything becomes clear. And then, of course, 336 00:23:26,727 --> 00:23:30,829 the universe is yours, because then you are able to communicate with 337 00:23:30,831 --> 00:23:38,904 everyone else, because then you are in par with the cosmic frequency. 338 00:23:38,906 --> 00:23:44,409 In the spiritual beliefs of many 339 00:23:44,411 --> 00:23:48,847 cultures, including ancient India, including many parts of 340 00:23:48,849 --> 00:23:52,935 Asia, there is a third eye that is located in the middle of the 341 00:23:52,937 --> 00:23:56,271 forehead, generally right between the two eyes. 342 00:23:56,273 --> 00:23:59,108 And that is a center of spiritual power. 343 00:23:59,110 --> 00:24:05,731 And in some cases, it is thought to have supernatural powers. 344 00:24:09,602 --> 00:24:12,955 In the principles of Freemasonry, there is a 345 00:24:12,957 --> 00:24:17,626 consistent and recurring notion that two sides or pillars can 346 00:24:17,628 --> 00:24:20,879 only find balance by the addition of a third, center 347 00:24:20,881 --> 00:24:24,800 structure. This center structure is often 348 00:24:24,802 --> 00:24:28,470 represented as a mystical or third eye. 349 00:24:28,472 --> 00:24:32,891 But why? Is it meant to represent that of 350 00:24:32,893 --> 00:24:36,311 an all-seeing God? Or does it suggest something 351 00:24:36,313 --> 00:24:39,898 quite different? Something, perhaps, that can 352 00:24:39,900 --> 00:24:43,485 even be found within the human brain? 353 00:24:43,487 --> 00:24:45,904 You see this represented in many mystical 354 00:24:45,906 --> 00:24:48,306 traditions that this is somehow the mystical eye. 355 00:24:48,308 --> 00:24:50,826 There have been many different theories about this, but one of 356 00:24:50,828 --> 00:24:53,162 the more interesting ones is that... 357 00:24:53,164 --> 00:24:55,831 Some people said it refers to the pineal gland, which is a 358 00:24:55,833 --> 00:24:59,685 light-sensitive organ that is actually somewhere in here. 359 00:25:01,587 --> 00:25:03,689 Part of the endocrine system, the pineal 360 00:25:03,691 --> 00:25:09,209 gland is no larger than a grain of rice, and is shaped like a pinecone. 361 00:25:09,211 --> 00:25:10,846 Though it is located deep in the 362 00:25:10,848 --> 00:25:15,267 center of the brain between the two hemispheres, it appears to 363 00:25:15,269 --> 00:25:18,187 share some characteristics with the human eye. 364 00:25:18,189 --> 00:25:21,690 The function of the pineal gland is mainly to 365 00:25:21,692 --> 00:25:24,693 release a hormone called melatonin, which controls the 366 00:25:24,695 --> 00:25:28,280 sleep-wake cycles. So, because it's 367 00:25:28,282 --> 00:25:31,283 light-sensitive, it's sometimes called the third eye. 368 00:25:31,285 --> 00:25:35,037 And it's had some mystical implications, as well, because 369 00:25:35,039 --> 00:25:40,490 it's this asymmetrical structure that's right in the center of the brain. 370 00:25:43,992 --> 00:25:44,880 Is it possible that 371 00:25:44,882 --> 00:25:49,051 ancient man was aware of the existence of the pineal gland? 372 00:25:49,553 --> 00:25:56,022 And if so, were they also aware of its special function within the brain? 373 00:25:56,224 --> 00:25:57,091 From the earliest 374 00:25:57,093 --> 00:25:59,895 stages in human history, across a broad spectrum of 375 00:25:59,897 --> 00:26:03,565 cultures, this idea of the pineal gland being a mystery 376 00:26:03,567 --> 00:26:07,736 gland that is somehow related to enlightenment or a mystical 377 00:26:07,738 --> 00:26:12,041 experience is something that we see widely. 378 00:26:13,843 --> 00:26:17,562 Our two eyes, our bodily eyes, allow us to see around us. 379 00:26:17,564 --> 00:26:20,249 But the third eye allows us to see beyond that. 380 00:26:20,251 --> 00:26:24,987 It allows us to see things that we would not normally see. 381 00:26:25,089 --> 00:26:30,157 Is it possible that a so-called "third eye" really exists? 382 00:26:30,159 --> 00:26:34,043 A part of the human brain that allows human beings 383 00:26:34,045 --> 00:26:37,064 to connect directly to something beyond themselves... 384 00:26:39,166 --> 00:26:41,870 even beyond this planet? 385 00:26:42,672 --> 00:26:45,839 Throughout history, the third eye has also 386 00:26:45,841 --> 00:26:50,511 been attributed for allowing you to travel to different 387 00:26:50,513 --> 00:26:54,299 dimensions, or astral traveling, and all those different things. 388 00:26:54,401 --> 00:27:00,170 So now my question is, how did these stories begin? 389 00:27:00,172 --> 00:27:05,509 Is it possible to astral travel? Is it possible to go places with 390 00:27:05,511 --> 00:27:06,997 your mind alone? 391 00:27:08,898 --> 00:27:10,398 The concept of the third eye 392 00:27:10,399 --> 00:27:13,768 is supposedly our doorway to connecting with not 393 00:27:13,770 --> 00:27:17,371 only our higher selves but other higher spirits and possibly even 394 00:27:17,373 --> 00:27:22,995 to otherworldly entities... like extraterrestrial entities. 395 00:27:27,597 --> 00:27:31,619 The pineal gland acts as a hyper-dimensional 396 00:27:31,621 --> 00:27:34,455 gateway. It is a functioning stargate 397 00:27:34,457 --> 00:27:38,392 within your brain. The pineal gland appears to 398 00:27:38,394 --> 00:27:41,362 create some type of bridge or wormhole inside your head. 399 00:27:42,064 --> 00:27:44,032 Extraterrestrials may already understand this. 400 00:27:44,034 --> 00:27:46,267 It's a basic aspect of human physiology. 401 00:27:46,269 --> 00:27:48,121 We have a stargate built in. 402 00:27:49,622 --> 00:27:50,822 And you have to wonder then, 403 00:27:50,923 --> 00:27:54,925 if we were created possibly by extraterrestrials 404 00:27:54,927 --> 00:27:59,396 and they know that we have this third eye, that part of their 405 00:27:59,398 --> 00:28:06,420 mission is to influence us and cultivate us to the point where 406 00:28:06,422 --> 00:28:12,092 we are able to utilize this third eye that we've been given. 407 00:28:12,094 --> 00:28:15,262 Could an actual part of the human brain really 408 00:28:15,264 --> 00:28:19,767 help to explain why mankind functions so differently from 409 00:28:19,769 --> 00:28:24,421 other life forms on our planet? Could this tiny gland offer a 410 00:28:24,423 --> 00:28:30,110 key to understanding why human beings create art... 411 00:28:30,112 --> 00:28:35,783 music... and literature? 412 00:28:35,785 --> 00:28:42,022 Why we bury our dead and devote time to contemplating our own existence? 413 00:28:45,024 --> 00:28:47,611 Perhaps the answers can be found 414 00:28:47,613 --> 00:28:51,948 in the stories of divine figures appearing across the ancient 415 00:28:51,950 --> 00:28:55,087 world in powerful groups of three. 416 00:29:02,661 --> 00:29:05,261 Henan Province, Central China. 417 00:29:06,073 --> 00:29:12,745 Here, along the shores of the Yi River, are 1,352 ancient caves 418 00:29:12,747 --> 00:29:20,419 known as the Longmen Grottoes. Dating back to 493 AD, they 419 00:29:20,421 --> 00:29:24,440 contain the most spectacular collection of Buddhist cave art 420 00:29:24,442 --> 00:29:28,611 in the world. One of the largest of the over 421 00:29:28,613 --> 00:29:33,616 100,000 stone statues at the site is of the Amitabha Buddha, 422 00:29:33,618 --> 00:29:39,622 or the Buddha of Infinite Light. He is flanked on either side by 423 00:29:39,624 --> 00:29:43,275 his two assistants, and collectively they are known as 424 00:29:43,277 --> 00:29:46,462 the Three Saints of the West. 425 00:29:46,464 --> 00:29:50,299 For some reason, the sacred mysteries are often 426 00:29:50,301 --> 00:29:53,469 presented as threefold. 427 00:29:53,471 --> 00:29:57,990 In Mahayana Buddhism, the three guides are Amitabha, the Buddha 428 00:29:57,992 --> 00:30:01,160 of Infinite Light, and his two companions, one representing 429 00:30:01,162 --> 00:30:05,298 wisdom and one compassion. It is significant that 430 00:30:05,300 --> 00:30:08,985 throughout the ancient world gods and leaders would often 431 00:30:08,987 --> 00:30:13,823 appear in threesomes. For some reason, the triad shows 432 00:30:13,825 --> 00:30:17,994 up as a divine powerful principle. 433 00:30:17,996 --> 00:30:22,648 Something about three is telling us, um, some important 434 00:30:22,650 --> 00:30:29,338 information about wholeness. 435 00:30:29,340 --> 00:30:34,343 Triads... trios... trinities. 436 00:30:34,345 --> 00:30:38,014 Why have cultures all over the world envisioned their divine 437 00:30:38,016 --> 00:30:43,686 leaders and mythic heroes in power structures of three? 438 00:30:43,688 --> 00:30:48,190 Perhaps an answer can be found by examining the stories of the 439 00:30:48,192 --> 00:30:53,045 Three Saints and the celestial realm of the Amitabha Buddha 440 00:30:53,046 --> 00:30:55,246 known as the Western Pure Land 441 00:30:56,947 --> 00:30:59,368 In a former life, Amitabha Buddha was 442 00:30:59,370 --> 00:31:02,855 believed to have been a king who renounced his kingdom through a 443 00:31:02,857 --> 00:31:05,041 series of vows. 444 00:31:05,543 --> 00:31:11,380 And these vows were, uh, vows to create a pure Buddha land. 445 00:31:11,382 --> 00:31:14,884 The Western Pure Land was thought to be actually real and 446 00:31:14,886 --> 00:31:21,057 to exist outside of the normal confines of time and space. 447 00:31:21,059 --> 00:31:24,060 Amitabha Buddha will come to your death bed and 448 00:31:24,062 --> 00:31:28,564 personally escort you to this western paradise. 449 00:31:28,566 --> 00:31:33,719 The Buddha Amitabha have two assistants, two bodhisattvas. 450 00:31:33,721 --> 00:31:38,240 The idea is that if you see three, it gives you a feeling 451 00:31:38,242 --> 00:31:40,811 that there is plenty of help coming. 452 00:31:41,913 --> 00:31:44,747 The last moments of life are very important in this 453 00:31:44,749 --> 00:31:48,250 form of Buddhism. These guiding figures are prime 454 00:31:48,252 --> 00:31:52,588 examples of the power of three manifesting in a sacred 455 00:31:52,590 --> 00:31:59,428 teaching, helping one to a greater level of consciousness. 456 00:31:59,430 --> 00:32:03,265 Is the Western Pure Land really "a state of 457 00:32:03,267 --> 00:32:07,103 enlightenment," as mainstream scholars believe? 458 00:32:07,105 --> 00:32:11,590 Or might these Three Saints be guiding the deceased to a 459 00:32:11,592 --> 00:32:16,278 divine, perhaps even extraterrestrial, realm? 460 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,782 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers can be found 461 00:32:19,784 --> 00:32:23,787 in the descriptions of this spiritual paradise. 462 00:32:25,289 --> 00:32:28,624 The Amitabha Buddha believed that this was a literal 463 00:32:28,626 --> 00:32:32,478 place peopled with gods and goddesses that would give you 464 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:37,950 knowledge and information. And in this place, everyone 465 00:32:37,952 --> 00:32:42,138 appears to be golden, and you have the ability to see anything 466 00:32:42,140 --> 00:32:45,307 in the universe, the ability to travel anywhere on Earth that 467 00:32:45,309 --> 00:32:48,961 you want. Is this really just a myth? 468 00:32:48,963 --> 00:32:52,464 Or is the Amitabha Buddha an example of an extraterrestrial 469 00:32:52,466 --> 00:32:56,485 who visited Earth and was able to achieve some higher grade of 470 00:32:56,487 --> 00:32:59,488 evolution while he was here and then help others achieve that as well? 471 00:33:02,493 --> 00:33:05,978 Might the Amitabha Buddha actually have been an 472 00:33:05,980 --> 00:33:10,499 otherworldly visitor? And if so, might the Three 473 00:33:10,501 --> 00:33:14,503 Saints of Pure Land Buddhism not just guide the dead to an 474 00:33:14,505 --> 00:33:18,841 afterlife but physically change them into higher functioning 475 00:33:18,843 --> 00:33:23,780 beings, beings with extraterrestrial capabilities? 476 00:33:24,182 --> 00:33:29,501 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and believe further proof 477 00:33:29,503 --> 00:33:33,856 can be found in the story of another mythic trio, one that 478 00:33:33,858 --> 00:33:40,012 undertook an epic journey not to a divine land after death but 479 00:33:40,014 --> 00:33:44,617 towards a divine life here on planet Earth. 480 00:33:51,819 --> 00:33:53,662 Cologne, Germany. 481 00:33:54,863 --> 00:33:57,063 For centuries, a steady stream 482 00:33:57,064 --> 00:34:01,066 of visitors have gathered inside this gothic cathedral to view a 483 00:34:01,068 --> 00:34:04,970 golden sarcophagus thought to contain the bones of the 484 00:34:04,972 --> 00:34:11,043 biblical Magi, also known as the Three Wise Men. 485 00:34:11,045 --> 00:34:14,747 While the journey of the Three Wise Men is one of the most 486 00:34:14,749 --> 00:34:18,901 popular and best known of the stories concerning the birth of 487 00:34:18,903 --> 00:34:24,621 Jesus Christ, little is actually known about these mysterious figures. 488 00:34:25,323 --> 00:34:27,542 According to the Gospels, 489 00:34:27,544 --> 00:34:31,712 the Three Kings, or the Three Wise Men, came from the east. 490 00:34:32,583 --> 00:34:36,252 At the time that the Gospels were being written, that was an 491 00:34:36,254 --> 00:34:39,922 area of the world, which for Westerners was considered to be 492 00:34:39,924 --> 00:34:43,759 the source of all magic and mysticism. 493 00:34:43,761 --> 00:34:48,097 The Magi were the ancient priesthood of 494 00:34:48,099 --> 00:34:52,918 Persia... or Iran as we tend to call it now... and they go way 495 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,273 back to 2000 or 3000 B.C. probably or even more. 496 00:34:57,275 --> 00:35:00,276 The Magi were particularly interested in the stars. 497 00:35:00,278 --> 00:35:03,779 They were looking at the different influences that these 498 00:35:03,781 --> 00:35:07,933 different stars and planets had at given times, and that was 499 00:35:07,935 --> 00:35:12,621 part and parcel of their tradition. 500 00:35:12,623 --> 00:35:16,625 The three wise men traveled thousands of miles to 501 00:35:16,627 --> 00:35:19,945 what we call the Holy Land. They found Bethlehem apparently 502 00:35:19,947 --> 00:35:22,965 without a map. They were astronomers. 503 00:35:22,967 --> 00:35:28,137 It says they followed a star. 504 00:35:28,138 --> 00:35:28,138 But did the three 505 00:35:28,139 --> 00:35:32,624 wise men actually exist, or did the story of their journey to 506 00:35:32,626 --> 00:35:38,314 visit the infant Jesus have other... even more otherworldly... origins? 507 00:35:38,316 --> 00:35:41,150 The star, we are told, 508 00:35:41,152 --> 00:35:45,654 leads them, so the star is moving and it's flying and it's 509 00:35:45,656 --> 00:35:48,824 intelligently guided because it's leading them 510 00:35:48,826 --> 00:35:54,496 to a destination and it hovers over the manger where Jesus is laid. 511 00:35:54,498 --> 00:35:57,983 It shines a light down to illuminate the manger where 512 00:35:57,985 --> 00:35:59,236 Jesus is laid. 513 00:35:59,537 --> 00:36:04,840 So you have to to wonder whether possibly the three Magi themselves were 514 00:36:04,842 --> 00:36:11,513 extraterrestrial gods or perhaps the star of Bethlehem itself was 515 00:36:11,515 --> 00:36:16,185 some kind of extraterrestrial spaceship that was guiding the 516 00:36:16,187 --> 00:36:17,404 three Magi. 517 00:36:20,690 --> 00:36:25,361 Were the three wise men astral travelers guided by 518 00:36:25,363 --> 00:36:29,698 otherworldly technology? Or is their presence in the 519 00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:34,036 story of Jesus really some sort of code... one intended to 520 00:36:34,038 --> 00:36:38,374 connect Jesus with other mythic stories and religions in which 521 00:36:38,376 --> 00:36:43,028 the number three has profound significance? 522 00:36:43,030 --> 00:36:46,215 There are those who believe that an answer can be found by 523 00:36:46,217 --> 00:36:49,868 examining the three gifts that each of the Magi reportedly 524 00:36:49,870 --> 00:36:55,874 brought to the Son of God. Gold, representing the physical 525 00:36:55,876 --> 00:37:00,562 and material needs of the child during his lifetime. 526 00:37:00,564 --> 00:37:04,717 Frankincense... an ancient aromatic resin which, when 527 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,404 burned, is thought to be effective in mind expansion and 528 00:37:08,406 --> 00:37:14,410 enlightenment. And myrrh... an oil often 529 00:37:14,412 --> 00:37:21,380 associated with death and embalming... representing the afterlife. 530 00:37:21,982 --> 00:37:26,287 But why three gifts and why only those three? 531 00:37:26,789 --> 00:37:29,258 Perhaps the answers can be found 532 00:37:29,260 --> 00:37:32,428 written into the ancient biological language that is as 533 00:37:32,430 --> 00:37:38,719 old as life itself...a language containing a code of threes. 534 00:37:42,867 --> 00:37:46,236 There is a theory that the key to unlocking the 535 00:37:46,238 --> 00:37:50,173 power of the number three lies in the mystery of the Holy 536 00:37:50,175 --> 00:37:55,078 Trinity, that the notion of three divine persons in one god 537 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,749 refers to the three states of being. 538 00:37:59,751 --> 00:38:02,954 God the Father... the intellectual or ethical self. 539 00:38:04,456 --> 00:38:07,726 God the Son... the physical and actual self. 540 00:38:08,728 --> 00:38:14,232 And God the Holy Spirit... the emotional or aspirational self. 541 00:38:14,234 --> 00:38:20,939 Past, present, and future. God and man as one. 542 00:38:24,740 --> 00:38:27,540 Qasr el Yahud, Israel. 543 00:38:29,041 --> 00:38:31,947 Here tens of thousands of Christians 544 00:38:31,949 --> 00:38:33,084 make their way to what is believed to be the site 545 00:38:33,086 --> 00:38:37,155 of Christ's baptism in the River Jordan. 546 00:38:41,357 --> 00:38:43,928 It was also here that, according to scripture, God revealed 547 00:38:43,930 --> 00:38:49,234 himself as being made up of three divine persons... 548 00:38:49,436 --> 00:38:56,774 God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, otherwise known as 549 00:38:56,776 --> 00:38:59,776 the Holy Trinity. 550 00:39:00,278 --> 00:39:02,613 In the story of Jesus' baptism, 551 00:39:02,615 --> 00:39:06,716 Jesus is standing in the Jordan River, and we're told that the heavens 552 00:39:06,718 --> 00:39:12,555 open up and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descends upon Jesus. 553 00:39:14,057 --> 00:39:19,027 And the voice of God booms out of Heaven and says, 554 00:39:19,029 --> 00:39:24,233 "This is my son whom I love and in whom I am well pleased." 555 00:39:25,135 --> 00:39:27,637 So, in that scene, all three 556 00:39:27,639 --> 00:39:30,242 parts of the Trinity are represented there... 557 00:39:30,244 --> 00:39:33,913 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 558 00:39:35,414 --> 00:39:36,114 What makes it a 559 00:39:36,115 --> 00:39:39,652 mathematical conundrum is, how can you be one and three? 560 00:39:41,854 --> 00:39:46,356 So it is a mystery, and some people don't even question it 561 00:39:46,358 --> 00:39:51,528 because it is a matter of faith, and so, made in that image, we 562 00:39:51,530 --> 00:39:55,365 could make the argument that there's a trinity within each 563 00:39:55,367 --> 00:39:56,935 and every one of us. 564 00:40:01,437 --> 00:40:04,174 Could the triune nature of God, as described in 565 00:40:04,176 --> 00:40:09,081 the New Testament, also exist in all of mankind? 566 00:40:10,683 --> 00:40:15,051 And if so, does this suggest that the power of three might 567 00:40:15,053 --> 00:40:18,555 somehow connect humanity with divine or, as some would 568 00:40:18,557 --> 00:40:23,193 believe, extraterrestrial forces? 569 00:40:23,195 --> 00:40:27,063 Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answers can be found 570 00:40:27,065 --> 00:40:31,067 not only in the Bible but encoded within the genetic 571 00:40:31,069 --> 00:40:33,538 blueprint of the human body. 572 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,416 Huntington, New York, 1966. 573 00:40:45,417 --> 00:40:46,417 Scientists announce one of the 574 00:40:46,418 --> 00:40:49,085 greatest breakthroughs of modern science. 575 00:40:49,087 --> 00:40:54,558 They have successfully deciphered the genetic code. 576 00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:58,094 After years of research, they discover that the universal 577 00:40:58,096 --> 00:41:03,066 structure of DNA consists of a series of three molecule 578 00:41:03,068 --> 00:41:06,770 combinations known as codons or triplets. 579 00:41:06,772 --> 00:41:11,074 You had this DNA sequence, and it codes for 580 00:41:11,076 --> 00:41:13,443 ultimately the proteins in your body. 581 00:41:13,445 --> 00:41:15,779 And the question was, how does it code for that? 582 00:41:15,781 --> 00:41:18,448 Does each individual base pair represent something? 583 00:41:18,450 --> 00:41:21,117 Is it two at a time that represents something? 584 00:41:21,119 --> 00:41:24,454 Is it a sequence of ten? And it turns out that it's very 585 00:41:24,456 --> 00:41:27,123 clear, it comes in clusters of three. 586 00:41:27,125 --> 00:41:31,962 Essentially the number three is the key to our 587 00:41:31,964 --> 00:41:36,132 DNA language. And this was revolutionary for 588 00:41:36,134 --> 00:41:40,270 its time because the ancient alien theory has always 589 00:41:40,272 --> 00:41:44,140 suggested that the ultimate proof of extraterrestrial 590 00:41:44,142 --> 00:41:48,645 tampering in our past will not come in the form of a crashed 591 00:41:48,647 --> 00:41:55,318 spaceship or some type of tools, but the actual proof will come 592 00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,723 from within our own DNA. 593 00:42:00,325 --> 00:42:01,161 This may, in fact, be 594 00:42:01,162 --> 00:42:04,662 a universal manifestation of the power of three. 595 00:42:04,663 --> 00:42:08,799 In time I believe we will find out that DNA is written into the 596 00:42:08,801 --> 00:42:12,168 background of the universe itself, it is assembled by the 597 00:42:12,170 --> 00:42:15,505 basic laws of quantum physics, and the underlying power of 598 00:42:15,507 --> 00:42:19,843 three is an essential tool in seeing the hand of the divine 599 00:42:19,845 --> 00:42:23,215 architect at work in making us who we are today. 600 00:42:26,817 --> 00:42:30,119 The number three is the key to unlocking the ancient mysteries. 601 00:42:30,321 --> 00:42:32,022 We see threes everywhere, 602 00:42:32,024 --> 00:42:35,525 and as a possible pointer to the idea that three is the guiding 603 00:42:35,527 --> 00:42:39,163 principle of the universe, it manifests even in our DNA. 604 00:42:39,865 --> 00:42:46,703 So we can see here how this power of three is 605 00:42:46,705 --> 00:42:52,208 pervasive all through the universe, including in our own 606 00:42:52,210 --> 00:42:58,548 DNA, and is it possible that it's extraterrestrials who have 607 00:42:58,550 --> 00:43:04,387 encoded this within us and that, once we understand this power of 608 00:43:04,389 --> 00:43:10,494 three, we ourselves will become like our creators... the gods. 609 00:43:11,196 --> 00:43:15,232 Does the physical expression of a power of three... 610 00:43:15,234 --> 00:43:19,870 found within our own DNA... really prove an extraterrestrial 611 00:43:19,872 --> 00:43:22,176 design for mankind? 612 00:43:24,277 --> 00:43:26,377 A design whose meaning we are 613 00:43:26,378 --> 00:43:29,113 only just beginning to comprehend? 614 00:43:30,215 --> 00:43:33,884 Or could the answer lie in a combination of all the trios 615 00:43:33,886 --> 00:43:36,887 and trinities embedded throughout the mythical and 616 00:43:36,889 --> 00:43:38,591 religious world? 617 00:43:39,792 --> 00:43:41,592 Perhaps the answer will lead us 618 00:43:41,593 --> 00:43:47,097 back to mankind's place of origin... and the ultimate proof 619 00:43:47,099 --> 00:43:52,568 that our origins lie not on Earth but out of this world. 620 00:43:52,570 --> 00:43:55,671 sync and corrections by bellows www.addic7ed.com 55138
