The walls of this 5,000 year old passage 29 00:02:14,221 --> 00:02:18,660 tomb are decorated with mysterious designs made up 30 00:02:18,703 --> 00:02:22,142 of three connected spirals. 31 00:02:22,185 --> 00:02:24,840 Yunnan Province, China. 32 00:02:24,883 --> 00:02:30,150 Three 1,100-year-old Buddhist temples known as the Three. 33 00:02:30,193 --> 00:02:34,719 Pagodas form a triangle fought to protect the population from 34 00:02:34,763 --> 00:02:38,070 natural disasters. 35 00:02:38,114 --> 00:02:41,509 Ancient Greece... according to myth, 36 00:02:41,552 --> 00:02:44,512 the destiny of gods and men is controlled 37 00:02:44,555 --> 00:02:50,996 by all-powerful beings known as the Three Fates. 38 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,564 Various cultures across the world 39 00:02:53,608 --> 00:02:57,307 have long shared a belief that the number three represents 40 00:02:57,351 --> 00:03:01,833 something sacred, mystical, even divine. 41 00:03:03,922 --> 00:03:06,055 All human beings understand numbers. 42 00:03:06,098 --> 00:03:07,926 All of us live in a physical universe 43 00:03:07,970 --> 00:03:10,712 where things come in different numbers. 44 00:03:10,755 --> 00:03:13,367 And so different cultures will highlight different numbers 45 00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:16,239 as particularly important, ritualized them, and make 46 00:03:16,283 --> 00:03:18,285 them culturally important. 47 00:03:19,764 --> 00:03:21,549 We see widespread use of the number three 48 00:03:21,592 --> 00:03:24,116 in European traditions, but also, we 49 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,729 see it in selected traditions around the world too. 50 00:03:27,772 --> 00:03:30,253 These number traditions can become very, very powerful 51 00:03:30,297 --> 00:03:31,689 and connect cultures together. 52 00:03:33,300 --> 00:03:35,867 The unique reverence for the number three 53 00:03:35,911 --> 00:03:40,742 dates back thousands of years, and can still be found today 54 00:03:40,785 --> 00:03:48,489 in art, architecture, mythology, literature, science, 55 00:03:48,532 --> 00:03:50,317 and religion. 56 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,232 But why? 57 00:03:52,275 --> 00:03:55,713 What is it about this number that has continued to hold 58 00:03:55,757 --> 00:03:58,368 such significance for mankind? 59 00:04:00,065 --> 00:04:03,373 If you think of our lives, we have a past, a present, 60 00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:04,548 and a future. 61 00:04:04,592 --> 00:04:08,987 Our story falls neatly into three. 62 00:04:09,031 --> 00:04:10,554 Throughout folklore and mythology, 63 00:04:10,598 --> 00:04:13,514 we find the number three. 64 00:04:13,557 --> 00:04:16,560 Something about three is trying to get our attention, 65 00:04:16,604 --> 00:04:19,302 trying to tell us something. 66 00:04:19,346 --> 00:04:22,914 The number three comes up many, 67 00:04:22,958 --> 00:04:26,962 many times in Judeo-Christian scriptures. 68 00:04:27,005 --> 00:04:31,227 Jonah is in the belly of the whale for three days. 69 00:04:31,271 --> 00:04:35,057 In Genesis, the waters are separated from the earth 70 00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:37,320 after three days. 71 00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:40,758 And the New Testament, Jesus in the tomb for three days. 72 00:04:40,802 --> 00:04:43,935 There's just a special significance there. 73 00:04:45,676 --> 00:04:49,376 We see the number three in sacred texts. 74 00:04:49,419 --> 00:04:51,116 And why is that? 75 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,511 Is there something within us that is hardwired to understand 76 00:04:54,555 --> 00:04:56,513 that three is a sacred number. 77 00:04:56,557 --> 00:04:58,907 And where does this come from? 78 00:05:02,650 --> 00:05:07,002 The Giza Plateau, Egypt... 79 00:05:07,045 --> 00:05:12,137 Three Great Pyramids line the desert just outside of Cairo. 80 00:05:12,181 --> 00:05:15,445 Constructed more than 4,000 years ago, 81 00:05:15,489 --> 00:05:20,232 this unique trio of monuments is arguably the most recognizable 82 00:05:20,276 --> 00:05:23,235 in all the world. 83 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,630 The pyramids also employ the most magnificent use 84 00:05:26,674 --> 00:05:29,372 of triangles in architecture. 85 00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:31,156 You had in ancient Egypt 86 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,246 what we might think of as a Masonic tradition. 87 00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:36,640 There were the builders themselves, 88 00:05:36,684 --> 00:05:40,383 who embodied the knowledge of geometry, the knowledge of tool 89 00:05:40,427 --> 00:05:43,125 making, and how to put buildings together. 90 00:05:43,168 --> 00:05:46,911 And especially, how to create buildings 91 00:05:46,955 --> 00:05:49,174 that were themselves, the vehicles 92 00:05:49,218 --> 00:05:53,396 for initiating or inducing higher consciousness. 93 00:05:54,745 --> 00:05:56,356 The Giza pyramids are 94 00:05:56,399 --> 00:05:59,707 very interesting in that you have three major pyramids. 95 00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:02,362 Their sides are triangles. 96 00:06:02,405 --> 00:06:06,627 Think of the triangle, the simplest most perfect geometric 97 00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:07,454 form. 98 00:06:08,759 --> 00:06:11,327 The ancients were certainly 99 00:06:11,371 --> 00:06:15,897 intrigued by geometry, indeed sacred geometry. 100 00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:21,381 And certainly, a triangle is one of those basic archetypal 101 00:06:21,424 --> 00:06:23,731 shapes that it perhaps is hardwired 102 00:06:23,774 --> 00:06:28,953 into the human consciousness, and this may find expression 103 00:06:28,997 --> 00:06:32,566 in monuments, such as the pyramids. 104 00:06:32,609 --> 00:06:35,917 You've got that progress towards perfection, 105 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,658 towards the top of the triangle. 106 00:06:37,701 --> 00:06:41,444 It's a very upward-directed, higher-directed shape. 107 00:06:41,488 --> 00:06:45,274 And I think we kind of get that on a subconscious level. 108 00:06:45,317 --> 00:06:49,496 So there is a sense in which the number three 109 00:06:49,539 --> 00:06:53,195 in the form of the triangle, in the form of the apex 110 00:06:53,238 --> 00:06:58,200 of the pyramid represents a portal, a gateway 111 00:06:58,243 --> 00:07:00,507 into another realm. 112 00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:04,293 You might say it's a realm of the gods. 113 00:07:04,336 --> 00:07:06,991 Do the three pyramids of Giza 114 00:07:07,035 --> 00:07:11,605 really represent some sort of portal to a divine realm? 115 00:07:11,648 --> 00:07:15,478 Perhaps, more clues about the sacred nature of the triangle 116 00:07:15,522 --> 00:07:18,394 can be found by examining the work of one of the most 117 00:07:18,438 --> 00:07:20,744 celebrated mathematicians of all time. 118 00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:26,489 Samos, Greece. 119 00:07:26,533 --> 00:07:29,187 Sixth century, BC. 120 00:07:29,231 --> 00:07:32,539 Greek mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras 121 00:07:32,582 --> 00:07:35,193 introduces his famous theorem. 122 00:07:35,237 --> 00:07:35,933 A2+b2=c2. 123 00:07:40,111 --> 00:07:43,114 The formula explains the mathematical relationship 124 00:07:43,158 --> 00:07:46,640 between the three sides of right triangles. 125 00:07:46,683 --> 00:07:50,382 And some believe it was originally based on the design 126 00:07:50,426 --> 00:07:52,384 of the Egyptian pyramids. 127 00:07:53,951 --> 00:07:56,954 Pythagoras lived 2,500 years ago. 128 00:07:56,998 --> 00:08:01,524 It is said that he studied with the great teachers of Egypt, 129 00:08:01,568 --> 00:08:05,702 and he brought the wisdom of Egypt back to Greece. 130 00:08:05,746 --> 00:08:09,358 That in effect was the birth of Greek philosophy. 131 00:08:09,401 --> 00:08:11,360 Pythagoras and for a lot 132 00:08:11,403 --> 00:08:13,710 of ancient philosophers, mathematics 133 00:08:13,754 --> 00:08:16,626 was a kind of more precise description 134 00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:18,541 of the supernatural. 135 00:08:18,585 --> 00:08:20,543 They're coming to terms with man's place 136 00:08:20,587 --> 00:08:22,284 on this earth and one of the ways you 137 00:08:22,327 --> 00:08:25,505 do that is by measurements, and measurements have to develop. 138 00:08:25,548 --> 00:08:27,724 And when they develop, they develop more complex 139 00:08:27,768 --> 00:08:29,291 mathematics. 140 00:08:29,334 --> 00:08:31,772 And Pythagoras is one of the very early philosophers 141 00:08:31,815 --> 00:08:34,426 to develop this stuff. 142 00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:37,386 Pythagoras taught that everything in the universe 143 00:08:37,429 --> 00:08:40,911 has a three-part structure. 144 00:08:40,955 --> 00:08:42,609 And every problem in the universe 145 00:08:42,652 --> 00:08:46,351 can be reduced diagrammatically to a triangle. 146 00:08:46,395 --> 00:08:48,571 To Pythagoras and his followers, the triangle 147 00:08:48,615 --> 00:08:51,356 represented ascension, and the triangle itself, 148 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,360 and the number three was the key to all the hidden mysteries. 149 00:08:57,319 --> 00:08:59,321 In Carnac, France 150 00:08:59,364 --> 00:09:02,977 there are thousands of megalithic standing stones 151 00:09:03,020 --> 00:09:07,155 that are over 6,000 years old, and many of them 152 00:09:07,198 --> 00:09:10,593 are in the form of a right triangle, 153 00:09:10,637 --> 00:09:13,248 or a Pythagorean triangle. 154 00:09:13,291 --> 00:09:15,685 And they were built many thousands of years 155 00:09:15,729 --> 00:09:17,557 before Pythagoras. 156 00:09:18,949 --> 00:09:22,126 These same geometric relationships 157 00:09:22,170 --> 00:09:24,955 of the right triangle have also been found 158 00:09:24,999 --> 00:09:28,393 at Avebury and Stonehenge. 159 00:09:28,437 --> 00:09:32,441 And you have to ask yourself, does the Pythagorean triangle 160 00:09:32,484 --> 00:09:37,402 represent some kind of special extraterrestrial geometry? 161 00:09:37,446 --> 00:09:40,405 A geometry of threes? 162 00:09:43,147 --> 00:09:49,719 The bottom line is that a2+b2=c2 applies 163 00:09:49,763 --> 00:09:52,679 to the entire universe. 164 00:09:52,722 --> 00:09:56,378 And so, for Pythagoras to come up with this, of course, 165 00:09:56,421 --> 00:10:01,209 is extraordinary, but he was not the first. 166 00:10:01,252 --> 00:10:04,429 So, we know that Pythagoras got this information 167 00:10:04,473 --> 00:10:07,258 from ancient Egypt, and the ancient Egyptians themselves 168 00:10:07,302 --> 00:10:10,653 say that this was knowledge from the gods. 169 00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:14,222 So, what we have is a situation whereby the ancient Egyptians 170 00:10:14,265 --> 00:10:16,877 got this information from a non-human intelligence 171 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,663 from an extraterrestrial source, preserved it in secret 172 00:10:20,707 --> 00:10:23,057 for thousands of years. 173 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,276 And Pythagoras is really the first one 174 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,236 to take it outside of Egypt, and basically 175 00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:31,892 begin to speak to the world about what it is, what 176 00:10:31,935 --> 00:10:36,679 the ancient Egyptians knew about this divine information. 177 00:10:38,899 --> 00:10:42,946 Did Pythagoras really get his knowledge of geometry, 178 00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:45,949 and its profound connection to the universe 179 00:10:45,993 --> 00:10:48,691 from an otherworldly source? 180 00:10:48,735 --> 00:10:53,609 Pythagorean triangle may contain wisdom that we still 181 00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:56,220 haven't understood in terms of how 182 00:10:56,264 --> 00:10:59,049 physical, terrestrial geometry connects 183 00:10:59,093 --> 00:11:04,446 to extraterrestrial domains that may coexist with our own. 184 00:11:04,489 --> 00:11:08,711 Did extra terrestrial visitors provide early humans 185 00:11:08,755 --> 00:11:11,714 with advanced mathematical information? 186 00:11:11,758 --> 00:11:14,935 Information that would help them unlock the secrets 187 00:11:14,978 --> 00:11:16,850 of the universe. 188 00:11:16,893 --> 00:11:20,070 And if so, why? 189 00:11:20,114 --> 00:11:23,117 And what is the secret of the number three? 190 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,640 Is it a code? 191 00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:27,512 Or could it be a gateway to communication 192 00:11:27,556 --> 00:11:31,691 with mankind's alien ancestors? 193 00:11:31,734 --> 00:11:34,955 Ancient astronaut theorists believe further evidence can 194 00:11:34,998 --> 00:11:39,829 be found by examining a mysterious artifact, one that 195 00:11:39,873 --> 00:11:42,745 could very well change the world. 196 00:11:53,713 --> 00:11:59,762 Cambridge University, England... here, 197 00:11:59,806 --> 00:12:03,592 in the library of this 800-year-old institution 198 00:12:03,635 --> 00:12:07,770 are the research papers of Sir Isaac Newton. 199 00:12:07,814 --> 00:12:11,992 One of the most influential scientists of the 17th century, 200 00:12:12,035 --> 00:12:14,516 Newton introduced what became the basis 201 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,606 of all modern physics... 202 00:12:17,649 --> 00:12:20,217 The Three Laws Of Motion. 203 00:12:20,261 --> 00:12:21,697 One of the things 204 00:12:21,741 --> 00:12:24,134 I think we often forget about people like Newton, 205 00:12:24,178 --> 00:12:26,615 he was also very much into alchemy, 206 00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:29,705 and he was very much a mystic himself. 207 00:12:29,749 --> 00:12:32,012 In mystical circles and in alchemy, 208 00:12:32,055 --> 00:12:34,754 three is considered a powerful number. 209 00:12:34,797 --> 00:12:38,235 So it was natural for people to try and write things in threes, 210 00:12:38,279 --> 00:12:41,325 and break it down into threes, and use that principle 211 00:12:41,369 --> 00:12:43,675 to communicate information. 212 00:12:43,719 --> 00:12:49,246 Alchemy was a hope of early magicians or chemists. 213 00:12:49,290 --> 00:12:51,466 The idea was that maybe if they could just figure out 214 00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:53,424 how to combine different materials, together 215 00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:56,340 they could wind up with something precious. 216 00:12:56,384 --> 00:12:58,212 There was a long-standing interest in it, 217 00:12:58,255 --> 00:13:00,518 and a lot of the sort of early scientific developments. 218 00:13:00,562 --> 00:13:03,652 And even ideas of chemistry came from this practice. 219 00:13:06,611 --> 00:13:08,875 Included among Newton's writings 220 00:13:08,918 --> 00:13:13,749 on philosophy, astronomy, and mathematics 221 00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:17,187 is a cryptic translation of an ancient document that 222 00:13:17,231 --> 00:13:20,190 has fascinated alchemists for centuries. 223 00:13:22,192 --> 00:13:26,631 An emerald tablet, carved on green crystal. 224 00:13:26,675 --> 00:13:30,635 The tablet is believed to be one of several that contained not 225 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,030 only information on the practice of alchemy, 226 00:13:34,074 --> 00:13:35,989 but the secrets of the universe. 227 00:13:38,905 --> 00:13:41,472 But although it is referenced by Newton 228 00:13:41,516 --> 00:13:45,172 and written about in numerous other ancient texts, 229 00:13:45,215 --> 00:13:48,305 the existence of the so-called emerald tablets 230 00:13:48,349 --> 00:13:52,962 is largely thought to be a myth. 231 00:13:53,006 --> 00:13:55,835 The emerald tablet or tablets 232 00:13:55,878 --> 00:14:01,536 contained perhaps the most fundamental ancient wisdom. 233 00:14:01,579 --> 00:14:05,453 The ancient wisdom of transmutation, 234 00:14:05,496 --> 00:14:13,287 the secrets of longevity, the secrets of the cosmos. 235 00:14:13,330 --> 00:14:15,550 And there are many different legends 236 00:14:15,593 --> 00:14:17,726 about this tablet or tablets. 237 00:14:17,769 --> 00:14:22,122 Some people say that they were found in the Great Pyramid 238 00:14:22,165 --> 00:14:23,471 thousands of years ago. 239 00:14:26,256 --> 00:14:29,651 The so-called emerald tablets had the secrets 240 00:14:29,694 --> 00:14:32,523 of alchemy, and alchemy itself wasn't 241 00:14:32,567 --> 00:14:36,963 just about the transmutation of vise matter, into a pure state, 242 00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:39,922 into gold. 243 00:14:39,966 --> 00:14:45,754 But it was about the knowledge of the secrets of the universe. 244 00:14:45,797 --> 00:14:50,150 About how we, ourselves, could transform ourself, 245 00:14:50,193 --> 00:14:54,241 and become at one with the universe as a whole. 246 00:14:54,284 --> 00:14:56,591 The emerald tablet has a very interesting 247 00:14:56,634 --> 00:14:58,071 phrase. 248 00:14:58,114 --> 00:15:02,510 Three is the great mystery come from the great one. 249 00:15:02,553 --> 00:15:04,555 It says that three is the great mystery that 250 00:15:04,599 --> 00:15:07,036 unifies the universe. 251 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,387 It says that power, wisdom, awareness all arises 252 00:15:10,431 --> 00:15:13,782 from this interplay of three. 253 00:15:13,825 --> 00:15:15,566 What we're being confronted 254 00:15:15,610 --> 00:15:18,439 within the emerald tablets is basically this notion 255 00:15:18,482 --> 00:15:22,269 that if we take two substances, we can make a third substance 256 00:15:22,312 --> 00:15:23,835 out of this. 257 00:15:23,879 --> 00:15:26,316 Three as such is always the power of transformation. 258 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,405 It is the end result for the alchemists. 259 00:15:28,449 --> 00:15:30,973 Basically saying, I took certain things 260 00:15:31,017 --> 00:15:33,280 and I created something new. 261 00:15:33,323 --> 00:15:38,198 And that is represented by the third element. 262 00:15:38,241 --> 00:15:41,462 The information was written down, which basically details 263 00:15:41,505 --> 00:15:43,899 that if anybody were to possess this knowledge, 264 00:15:43,943 --> 00:15:49,122 he would become a master of life, a master over death, 265 00:15:49,165 --> 00:15:52,690 an almost supernatural being who could do anything at will. 266 00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:59,567 Were early scientists, like Isaac Newton seeking 267 00:15:59,610 --> 00:16:01,221 extraterrestrial knowledge? 268 00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:07,618 And wants that knowledge based, in part, on a unique power 269 00:16:07,662 --> 00:16:10,317 inherent in the number three. 270 00:16:13,363 --> 00:16:17,802 Perhaps answers can be found by taking a closer look at the man 271 00:16:17,846 --> 00:16:22,764 many believed to be the author of the emerald tablets, Hermes. 272 00:16:22,807 --> 00:16:25,723 Trismegistus. 273 00:16:25,767 --> 00:16:28,552 Starting in the 4th-century BC, 274 00:16:28,596 --> 00:16:32,382 a character develops called Hermes Trismegistus. 275 00:16:32,426 --> 00:16:35,385 His name just means Hermes thrice great. 276 00:16:35,429 --> 00:16:39,172 So, Hermes Trismegistus is the Hellenistic Egyptian version 277 00:16:39,215 --> 00:16:41,870 of the Greek Hermes, and he is associated 278 00:16:41,913 --> 00:16:44,438 with the Egyptian god, Thoth. 279 00:16:46,179 --> 00:16:48,094 And so, for that reason, primarily, he 280 00:16:48,137 --> 00:16:51,880 becomes associated with his magical practices of theurgy, 281 00:16:51,923 --> 00:16:56,189 which is doing the works of the gods, influencing the world. 282 00:16:58,017 --> 00:17:01,455 At some point as the Greeks moved into Egypt, 283 00:17:01,498 --> 00:17:05,067 and the Romans moved into Egypt there was an endeavor 284 00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:07,765 to correlate the Egyptian traditions 285 00:17:07,809 --> 00:17:10,377 with the Greek and Roman traditions. 286 00:17:10,420 --> 00:17:16,078 So, you had this connection between Thoth and Hermes. 287 00:17:16,122 --> 00:17:18,863 And the idea in both cases is this 288 00:17:18,907 --> 00:17:22,302 is the deity that is the messenger 289 00:17:22,345 --> 00:17:25,740 or the link between our human realm, 290 00:17:25,783 --> 00:17:28,003 and the higher realm of the gods. 291 00:17:30,005 --> 00:17:32,138 According to some legends, 292 00:17:32,181 --> 00:17:37,143 he was a reincarnation of Thoth, the ancient scribe of Egypt. 293 00:17:37,186 --> 00:17:39,536 The scribe of the gods. 294 00:17:39,580 --> 00:17:45,107 He was an individual who brought knowledge, who brought wisdom, 295 00:17:45,151 --> 00:17:49,459 he would consider thrice great, three times great. 296 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,640 Hermes descended from the sky in what was considered 297 00:17:56,684 --> 00:17:59,469 to be a flying ship. 298 00:17:59,513 --> 00:18:04,909 And we have the exact same story in ancient Egypt with Thoth. 299 00:18:04,953 --> 00:18:08,696 Also having descended from the sky and his whole premise 300 00:18:08,739 --> 00:18:13,570 was to teach the people in scientific disciplines. 301 00:18:15,268 --> 00:18:17,922 Was Hermes Trismegistus 302 00:18:17,966 --> 00:18:22,318 really the reincarnation of the Egyptian god Thoth? 303 00:18:22,362 --> 00:18:27,062 And if so, did he serve as a messenger between man 304 00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:31,980 and the gods, as the ancient Greeks believed? 305 00:18:32,023 --> 00:18:35,070 Or might he have been, as ancient astronaut theorists 306 00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:38,639 contend, an extraterrestrial being. 307 00:18:38,682 --> 00:18:41,555 One who brought mankind the knowledge of the universe 308 00:18:41,598 --> 00:18:44,514 in the form of emerald tablets. 309 00:18:44,558 --> 00:18:47,474 The emerald tablets are a fascinating body 310 00:18:47,517 --> 00:18:49,302 of knowledge. 311 00:18:49,345 --> 00:18:52,435 It gives rise to the idea that many different systems, 312 00:18:52,479 --> 00:18:55,308 whether we're dealing with physics systems, 313 00:18:55,351 --> 00:18:58,963 or systems of consciousness, systems of philosophy, 314 00:18:59,007 --> 00:19:02,402 systems of religion will always be underlined 315 00:19:02,445 --> 00:19:07,189 by this prevalence of the number three. 316 00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:11,802 You have to ask yourself is the emerald tablet 317 00:19:11,846 --> 00:19:14,762 some kind of extraterrestrial knowledge 318 00:19:14,805 --> 00:19:18,766 that's been handed down to us? 319 00:19:18,809 --> 00:19:21,986 So maybe the key to immortality is 320 00:19:22,030 --> 00:19:25,251 written in the emerald tablet in a code of threes. 321 00:19:29,255 --> 00:19:33,041 Did extra terrestrial messengers really give mankind 322 00:19:33,084 --> 00:19:36,784 the secrets of the universe as ancient astronaut theorists 323 00:19:36,827 --> 00:19:38,612 suggest? 324 00:19:38,655 --> 00:19:41,919 And is one of the keys to rediscovering that knowledge 325 00:19:41,963 --> 00:19:44,966 related to the number three? 326 00:19:45,009 --> 00:19:47,490 Perhaps another clue can be found 327 00:19:47,534 --> 00:19:53,104 by examining a mysterious gland, inside the human brain. 328 00:20:01,287 --> 00:20:07,728 Washington DC April 2013. 329 00:20:07,771 --> 00:20:12,254 We have a chance to improve the lives of not just millions 330 00:20:12,298 --> 00:20:14,474 but billions of people on this planet, 331 00:20:14,517 --> 00:20:17,520 through the research that's done. 332 00:20:17,564 --> 00:20:20,219 US President Barack Obama, 333 00:20:20,262 --> 00:20:22,873 unveils an ambitious government-funded research 334 00:20:22,917 --> 00:20:28,227 project designed to map the human brain. 335 00:20:28,270 --> 00:20:32,231 Titled, The Brain Initiative, the program 336 00:20:32,274 --> 00:20:36,322 promises to shed new light on how human beings learn, 337 00:20:36,365 --> 00:20:38,846 think, remember, and create. 338 00:20:41,457 --> 00:20:43,677 So there are many things that science still does not 339 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,288 understand about how the human brain works. 340 00:20:46,332 --> 00:20:49,378 There is 100 billion neurons in the brain 341 00:20:49,422 --> 00:20:54,340 and then there's about 100,000 trillion connections possible. 342 00:20:54,383 --> 00:20:57,125 If we can understand it, we can crack the neural code. 343 00:20:57,168 --> 00:20:59,736 It'll unlock a lot of answers to understanding things 344 00:20:59,780 --> 00:21:01,347 like disease and how to cure them 345 00:21:01,390 --> 00:21:06,917 and it really is the final frontier of human anatomy. 346 00:21:06,961 --> 00:21:10,051 Just how the human brain functions has remained 347 00:21:10,094 --> 00:21:15,099 a mystery that has puzzled mankind for thousands of years. 348 00:21:15,143 --> 00:21:18,799 But according to many ancient cultures and religions, 349 00:21:18,842 --> 00:21:22,193 the workings of the brain are not the mere workings 350 00:21:22,237 --> 00:21:26,023 of a human organ, but are linked to something much more 351 00:21:26,067 --> 00:21:30,376 profound, something of extraterrestrial origin. 352 00:21:36,469 --> 00:21:41,343 Lidder valley, Northern India. 353 00:21:41,387 --> 00:21:45,695 Here, on a snow covered mountain in the heart of the Himalayas 354 00:21:45,739 --> 00:21:48,481 lies the Amarnath cave. 355 00:21:48,524 --> 00:21:50,961 Every summer, thousands of Hindus 356 00:21:51,005 --> 00:21:54,138 make the treacherous journey through the steep terrain 357 00:21:54,182 --> 00:21:57,403 to witness the formation of a massive vertical ice 358 00:21:57,446 --> 00:22:01,668 stalagmite, thought to represent Lord Shiva, one of the most 359 00:22:01,711 --> 00:22:05,193 powerful gods of Hinduism. 360 00:22:05,236 --> 00:22:08,501 According to mythology, it was in this cave 361 00:22:08,544 --> 00:22:11,591 that Shiva revealed the secrets of creation 362 00:22:11,634 --> 00:22:14,507 to his goddess wife Parvati. 363 00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:16,987 There are three great divine energies 364 00:22:17,031 --> 00:22:21,862 in the Hindu imagination involved in the creation story. 365 00:22:21,905 --> 00:22:24,386 Brahma actually creates things. 366 00:22:24,430 --> 00:22:28,172 This is the great god Brahma brings things into being. 367 00:22:28,216 --> 00:22:32,394 Vishnu maintains reality, and Shiva destroys. 368 00:22:32,438 --> 00:22:35,484 Now Shiva, is just as important as the other two 369 00:22:35,528 --> 00:22:37,268 divine energies. 370 00:22:37,312 --> 00:22:42,404 In fact, the Trinity would not exist without the destruction. 371 00:22:42,448 --> 00:22:45,712 You cannot have renewal, you cannot have continued growth 372 00:22:45,755 --> 00:22:47,104 without the destructive energy. 373 00:22:50,456 --> 00:22:54,982 In Hinduism, Shiva is often pictured with a trident 374 00:22:55,025 --> 00:23:00,030 the prongs representing his three fundamental powers; Will, 375 00:23:00,074 --> 00:23:03,164 action, and knowledge. 376 00:23:03,207 --> 00:23:07,081 He is also often illustrated as having a third eye 377 00:23:07,124 --> 00:23:09,431 in the middle of his forehead. 378 00:23:09,475 --> 00:23:11,259 But why? 379 00:23:11,302 --> 00:23:13,957 In the iconography, he is clearly 380 00:23:14,001 --> 00:23:17,265 depicted with a vertical third eye right 381 00:23:17,308 --> 00:23:20,137 in the middle of his forehead. 382 00:23:20,181 --> 00:23:24,577 With that eye, he can see things, he has a clairvoyance. 383 00:23:24,620 --> 00:23:29,016 When his eye opens, it also radiates a lot of energy 384 00:23:29,059 --> 00:23:32,193 through that eye. 385 00:23:32,236 --> 00:23:34,151 And then when that is opened up and then 386 00:23:34,195 --> 00:23:36,893 everything becomes clear. 387 00:23:36,937 --> 00:23:40,462 And then of course the universe is yours, because then you 388 00:23:40,506 --> 00:23:43,552 are able to communicate with with everyone else 389 00:23:43,596 --> 00:23:47,861 because then you are in part with the cosmic frequency. 390 00:23:53,170 --> 00:23:57,305 In the spiritual beliefs of many cultures, including 391 00:23:57,348 --> 00:24:00,917 ancient India, including many parts of Asia 392 00:24:00,961 --> 00:24:03,354 there is a third eye that is located 393 00:24:03,398 --> 00:24:05,487 in the middle of the forehead, generally, right 394 00:24:05,531 --> 00:24:11,711 between the two eyes and that is a center of spiritual power. 395 00:24:11,754 --> 00:24:14,714 And in some cases, it is thought to have supernatural powers. 396 00:24:21,068 --> 00:24:23,549 In the principles of Freemasonry, 397 00:24:23,592 --> 00:24:26,160 there is a consistent and recurring notion 398 00:24:26,203 --> 00:24:28,989 that two sides or pillars can only 399 00:24:29,032 --> 00:24:33,863 find a balance by the addition of a third center structure. 400 00:24:33,907 --> 00:24:36,997 This center structure is often represented 401 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,174 as a mystical or third eye. 402 00:24:40,217 --> 00:24:42,002 But why? 403 00:24:42,045 --> 00:24:46,006 Is it meant to represent that of an all-seeing god, 404 00:24:46,049 --> 00:24:49,792 or does it suggest something quite different, 405 00:24:49,836 --> 00:24:52,012 something perhaps that can even be 406 00:24:52,055 --> 00:24:54,623 found within the human brain? 407 00:24:54,667 --> 00:24:56,103 This is represented 408 00:24:56,146 --> 00:24:58,366 in many mystical traditions that this is somehow 409 00:24:58,409 --> 00:24:59,889 the mystical eye. 410 00:24:59,933 --> 00:25:01,848 There have been many different theories about this. 411 00:25:01,891 --> 00:25:03,545 But one of the more interesting ones 412 00:25:03,589 --> 00:25:06,505 is that some people said it referred to the pineal gland, 413 00:25:06,548 --> 00:25:09,769 which is a light sensitive organ that is actually somewhere 414 00:25:09,812 --> 00:25:12,162 in here. 415 00:25:12,206 --> 00:25:15,601 Part of the endocrine system, the pineal gland 416 00:25:15,644 --> 00:25:17,951 is no larger than a grain of rice 417 00:25:17,994 --> 00:25:20,649 and is shaped like a pine cone. 418 00:25:20,693 --> 00:25:23,609 Though it is located deep in the center of the brain, 419 00:25:23,652 --> 00:25:26,437 between the two hemispheres, it appears 420 00:25:26,481 --> 00:25:30,137 to share some characteristics with the human eye. 421 00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:31,704 The function of the pineal gland 422 00:25:31,747 --> 00:25:35,229 is mainly to release a hormone called melatonin, which 423 00:25:35,272 --> 00:25:38,101 controls the sleep wake cycles. 424 00:25:38,145 --> 00:25:40,147 So because it's light sensitive it's 425 00:25:40,190 --> 00:25:43,367 sometimes called the third eye. 426 00:25:43,411 --> 00:25:46,196 And it's had some mystical implications as well 427 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,243 because it's this asymmetrical structure that's 428 00:25:49,286 --> 00:25:50,679 right in the center of the brain. 429 00:25:55,075 --> 00:25:57,294 Is it possible that ancient man 430 00:25:57,338 --> 00:26:01,516 was aware of the existence of the pineal gland? 431 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,564 And if so, were they also aware of its special function 432 00:26:05,607 --> 00:26:07,174 within the brain? 433 00:26:07,217 --> 00:26:09,089 From the earliest stages in human history 434 00:26:09,132 --> 00:26:11,700 across a broad spectrum of cultures, 435 00:26:11,744 --> 00:26:15,617 this idea of the pineal gland, being a mystery, gland that 436 00:26:15,661 --> 00:26:18,315 is somehow related to enlightenment, 437 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:24,800 or a mystical experience is something that we see widely. 438 00:26:24,844 --> 00:26:28,804 Our two eyes are bodily eyes allow us to see around us. 439 00:26:28,848 --> 00:26:31,938 The third eye allows us to see beyond that. 440 00:26:31,981 --> 00:26:36,769 It allows us to see things that we would not normally see. 441 00:26:36,812 --> 00:26:40,250 Is it possible that a so-called third eye really 442 00:26:40,294 --> 00:26:41,991 exists? 443 00:26:42,035 --> 00:26:45,342 A part of the human brain that allows human beings to connect 444 00:26:45,386 --> 00:26:47,649 directly to something beyond themselves? 445 00:26:50,565 --> 00:26:53,394 Even beyond this planet. 446 00:26:53,437 --> 00:26:55,918 Throughout history the third eye 447 00:26:55,962 --> 00:27:00,009 has also been attributed for allowing you to travel 448 00:27:00,053 --> 00:27:04,013 to different dimensions, or astral traveling, and all 449 00:27:04,057 --> 00:27:05,711 those different things. 450 00:27:05,754 --> 00:27:11,020 So now my question is, how did these stories begin? 451 00:27:11,064 --> 00:27:13,632 Is it possible to astral travel? 452 00:27:13,675 --> 00:27:19,638 Is it possible to go places with your mind alone? 453 00:27:19,681 --> 00:27:21,248 The concept of the third eye 454 00:27:21,291 --> 00:27:24,207 is supposedly our doorway to connecting with 455 00:27:24,251 --> 00:27:26,296 not only our higher selves, but other higher 456 00:27:26,340 --> 00:27:31,737 spirits and possibly even to otherworldly entities. 457 00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:33,216 Like extraterrestrial entities. 458 00:27:39,048 --> 00:27:43,313 The pineal gland acts as a hyper-dimensional gateway. 459 00:27:43,357 --> 00:27:46,882 It is a functioning stargate within your brain. 460 00:27:46,926 --> 00:27:50,320 The pineal gland appears to create some type of bridge 461 00:27:50,364 --> 00:27:52,714 or wormhole inside your head. 462 00:27:52,758 --> 00:27:54,934 Extraterrestrials may already understand this. 463 00:27:54,977 --> 00:27:57,066 It's a basic aspect of human physiology. 464 00:27:57,110 --> 00:28:00,722 We have a stargate built in. 465 00:28:00,766 --> 00:28:03,551 And you have to wonder then if we were created 466 00:28:03,594 --> 00:28:05,684 possibly by extraterrestrials. 467 00:28:05,727 --> 00:28:08,730 And they know that we have this third eye. 468 00:28:08,774 --> 00:28:15,737 That part of their mission is to influence us and cultivate us 469 00:28:15,781 --> 00:28:20,437 to the point where we are able to utilize this third eye 470 00:28:20,481 --> 00:28:22,962 that we've been given. 471 00:28:23,005 --> 00:28:25,747 Could an actual part of the human brain 472 00:28:25,791 --> 00:28:29,229 really help to explain why mankind functions so 473 00:28:29,272 --> 00:28:32,754 differently from other lifeforms on our planet? 474 00:28:32,798 --> 00:28:35,191 Could this tiny gland offer a key 475 00:28:35,235 --> 00:28:43,460 to understanding why human beings create art, music, 476 00:28:43,504 --> 00:28:46,376 and literature? 477 00:28:46,420 --> 00:28:49,728 Why we bury our dead? 478 00:28:49,771 --> 00:28:52,818 And devote time to contemplating our own existence. 479 00:28:56,038 --> 00:28:59,389 Perhaps the answers can be found in the stories 480 00:28:59,433 --> 00:29:03,306 of divine figures appearing across the ancient world, 481 00:29:03,350 --> 00:29:05,744 in powerful groups of three. 482 00:29:15,666 --> 00:29:19,366 Henan province, Central China. 483 00:29:19,409 --> 00:29:22,630 Here, along the shores of the Yi River, 484 00:29:22,673 --> 00:29:27,374 a 1,352 ancient caves known as the Longmen Grottoes. 485 00:29:30,681 --> 00:29:35,730 Dating back to for 493 AD, they contain the most spectacular 486 00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:37,863 collection of Buddhist cave art in the world. 487 00:29:40,517 --> 00:29:43,564 One of the largest of the over 100,000 stone statues 488 00:29:43,607 --> 00:29:47,611 at the site is at the Amitabha Buddha, or the Buddha 489 00:29:47,655 --> 00:29:50,919 of infinite light. 490 00:29:50,963 --> 00:29:54,314 He is flanked on either side by his two assistants 491 00:29:54,357 --> 00:29:57,534 and collectively they are known as the Three Saints 492 00:29:57,578 --> 00:30:00,102 of the West. 493 00:30:00,146 --> 00:30:03,018 For some reason, the sacred mysteries 494 00:30:03,062 --> 00:30:07,196 are often presented as threefold. 495 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,764 In Mahayana Buddhism, the three guides 496 00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:12,071 are Amitabha the Buddha of infinite light 497 00:30:12,114 --> 00:30:15,552 and his two companions, one representing wisdom and one 498 00:30:15,596 --> 00:30:17,250 compassion. 499 00:30:17,293 --> 00:30:20,514 It is significant that throughout the ancient world 500 00:30:20,557 --> 00:30:25,649 gods and leaders would often appear in threesomes. 501 00:30:25,693 --> 00:30:28,478 For some reason, the triad shows up 502 00:30:28,522 --> 00:30:31,003 as a divine powerful principle. 503 00:30:31,046 --> 00:30:35,964 Something about three is telling us some important information 504 00:30:36,008 --> 00:30:37,183 about wholeness. 505 00:30:40,099 --> 00:30:48,847 Triads, trios, trinities, why have cultures 506 00:30:48,890 --> 00:30:52,067 all over the world envision their divine leaders 507 00:30:52,111 --> 00:30:54,896 and mythic heroes in power structures of three? 508 00:30:57,594 --> 00:31:00,554 Perhaps an answer can be found by examining 509 00:31:00,597 --> 00:31:04,558 the stories of the three Saints and the celestial realm 510 00:31:04,601 --> 00:31:10,172 of the Amitabha Buddha known as the Western Pure Land. 511 00:31:10,216 --> 00:31:12,174 In a former life Amitabha Buddha 512 00:31:12,218 --> 00:31:15,699 was believed to have been a king, who renounced his kingdom 513 00:31:15,743 --> 00:31:18,354 through a series of vows. 514 00:31:18,398 --> 00:31:24,404 And these vows were vows to create a pure Buddha land. 515 00:31:24,447 --> 00:31:28,016 The Western Pure Land was thought to be actually real. 516 00:31:28,060 --> 00:31:31,933 And to exist outside of the normal confines of time 517 00:31:31,977 --> 00:31:34,240 and space. 518 00:31:34,283 --> 00:31:37,417 Amitabha Buddha will come to your deathbed 519 00:31:37,460 --> 00:31:41,638 and personally escort you to this Western paradise. 520 00:31:41,682 --> 00:31:46,905 The Buddha Amitabha have two assistants, two Bodhisattvas. 521 00:31:46,948 --> 00:31:49,951 The idea is that if you see three 522 00:31:49,995 --> 00:31:55,087 it gives you a feeling that there's plenty of help coming. 523 00:31:55,130 --> 00:31:56,784 The last moments of life 524 00:31:56,827 --> 00:31:59,700 are very important in this form of Buddhism. 525 00:31:59,743 --> 00:32:04,574 These guiding figures are prime examples of the power of three 526 00:32:04,618 --> 00:32:08,535 manifesting a sacred teaching, helping one to a greater 527 00:32:08,578 --> 00:32:09,971 level of consciousness. 528 00:32:13,366 --> 00:32:15,672 Is the Western Pure Land really 529 00:32:15,716 --> 00:32:20,851 a state of enlightenment as mainstream scholars believe? 530 00:32:20,895 --> 00:32:23,419 Or might these three saints be guiding 531 00:32:23,463 --> 00:32:26,945 the deceased to a divine, perhaps even 532 00:32:26,988 --> 00:32:29,599 extraterrestrial realm? 533 00:32:29,643 --> 00:32:31,775 Ancient astronaut theorists believe 534 00:32:31,819 --> 00:32:34,735 the answers can be found in the descriptions 535 00:32:34,778 --> 00:32:36,476 of this spiritual paradise. 536 00:32:38,782 --> 00:32:40,306 The Amitabha Buddha 537 00:32:40,349 --> 00:32:44,223 believed that this was a literal place peopled with gods 538 00:32:44,266 --> 00:32:49,271 and goddesses that would give you knowledge and information. 539 00:32:49,315 --> 00:32:52,883 And in this place, every one appears to be golden 540 00:32:52,927 --> 00:32:55,451 and you have the ability to see anything 541 00:32:55,495 --> 00:32:58,628 in the universe, the ability to travel anywhere on Earth 542 00:32:58,672 --> 00:33:00,239 that you want. 543 00:33:00,282 --> 00:33:03,720 Is this really just a myth, or is the Amitabha Buddha 544 00:33:03,764 --> 00:33:05,374 an example of an extraterrestrial 545 00:33:05,418 --> 00:33:09,074 who visited earth and was able to achieve some higher 546 00:33:09,117 --> 00:33:11,380 grade of evolution while he was here, 547 00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:13,600 and then help others achieve that as well. 548 00:33:16,385 --> 00:33:18,779 Might the Amitabha Buddha actually have 549 00:33:18,822 --> 00:33:21,477 been an otherworldly visitor. 550 00:33:21,521 --> 00:33:25,916 And if so, might the three saints of Pure Land Buddhism 551 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,050 not just guide the dead to an afterlife. 552 00:33:29,094 --> 00:33:33,054 But physically change them into higher functioning beings, 553 00:33:33,098 --> 00:33:37,972 beings with extraterrestrial capabilities. 554 00:33:38,016 --> 00:33:41,323 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes. 555 00:33:41,367 --> 00:33:44,544 And believe further proof can be found in the story 556 00:33:44,587 --> 00:33:47,416 of another mythic trio. 557 00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:50,419 One that undertook an epic journey, 558 00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:55,076 not to a divine land after death but towards a divine life 559 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,817 here on planet Earth. 560 00:34:05,173 --> 00:34:11,092 Cologne Germany, for centuries a steady stream of visitors 561 00:34:11,136 --> 00:34:13,964 have gathered inside this Gothic cathedral 562 00:34:14,008 --> 00:34:17,272 to view a golden sarcophagus thought to contain 563 00:34:17,316 --> 00:34:22,190 the bones of the biblical magi, also known as the three 564 00:34:22,234 --> 00:34:24,627 wise men. 565 00:34:24,671 --> 00:34:27,108 While the journey of the three wise men 566 00:34:27,152 --> 00:34:30,590 is one of the most popular and best known of the stories, 567 00:34:30,633 --> 00:34:33,288 concerning the birth of Jesus Christ, 568 00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:36,422 little is actually known about these mysterious figures. 569 00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:40,817 According to the gospels, 570 00:34:40,861 --> 00:34:46,084 the three kings or the three wise men came from the east. 571 00:34:46,127 --> 00:34:48,434 At the time that the gospels were being written 572 00:34:48,477 --> 00:34:52,177 that was an area of the world which for Westerners was 573 00:34:52,220 --> 00:34:58,270 considered to be the source of all magic and mysticism. 574 00:34:58,313 --> 00:35:00,881 Magi were the ancient priesthood 575 00:35:00,924 --> 00:35:04,537 of Persia or Iran as we tend to call it now. 576 00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:10,456 And they go way back to 3,000 BC probably or even more. 577 00:35:10,499 --> 00:35:13,546 The Magi were particularly interested in the stars. 578 00:35:13,589 --> 00:35:16,549 They were looking at the different influences 579 00:35:16,592 --> 00:35:20,770 that these different stars and planets had at given times. 580 00:35:20,814 --> 00:35:23,208 And that was part and parcel of their tradition. 581 00:35:26,950 --> 00:35:29,649 The three wise men traveled thousands of miles 582 00:35:29,692 --> 00:35:31,303 to what we call the Holy land. 583 00:35:31,346 --> 00:35:34,349 And then they found Bethlehem apparently without a map. 584 00:35:34,393 --> 00:35:37,309 They were astronomers, it says they followed a star. 585 00:35:40,399 --> 00:35:44,011 But did the three wise men actually exist? 586 00:35:44,054 --> 00:35:45,839 Or did the story of their journey to 587 00:35:45,882 --> 00:35:51,366 visit the infant Jesus have other even more otherworldly 588 00:35:51,410 --> 00:35:53,455 origins? 589 00:35:53,499 --> 00:35:55,892 The star we are told leads them, 590 00:35:55,936 --> 00:35:58,460 so the star is moving and it's flying 591 00:35:58,504 --> 00:36:01,507 and it's intelligently guided because it's leading them 592 00:36:01,550 --> 00:36:03,161 to a destination. 593 00:36:03,204 --> 00:36:07,730 And it hovers over the manger where Jesus is laid. 594 00:36:07,774 --> 00:36:11,212 It shines a light down to illuminate the manger where 595 00:36:11,256 --> 00:36:12,996 Jesus is laid. 596 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,130 So you have to wonder whether possibly the three magi 597 00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:21,440 themselves were extraterrestrial gods or perhaps 598 00:36:21,483 --> 00:36:25,618 the star of Bethlehem itself was some kind 599 00:36:25,661 --> 00:36:29,187 of extraterrestrial spaceship that was guiding the three 600 00:36:29,230 --> 00:36:29,883 magi. 601 00:36:35,149 --> 00:36:38,283 Were the three wise men astral travelers guided 602 00:36:38,326 --> 00:36:43,418 by otherworldly technology, or is their presence in the story 603 00:36:43,462 --> 00:36:47,770 of Jesus really some sort of code, one intended to connect 604 00:36:47,814 --> 00:36:51,209 Jesus with other mythic stories and religions 605 00:36:51,252 --> 00:36:56,126 in which the number three has profound significance? 606 00:36:56,170 --> 00:36:59,260 There are those who believe that an answer can be found 607 00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:02,263 by examining the three gifts that each of the Magi 608 00:37:02,307 --> 00:37:06,267 reportedly brought to the Son of God. 609 00:37:06,311 --> 00:37:10,924 Gold, representing the physical and material needs of the child 610 00:37:10,967 --> 00:37:13,883 during his lifetime. 611 00:37:13,927 --> 00:37:17,539 Frankincense, an ancient aromatic resin, 612 00:37:17,583 --> 00:37:21,413 which when burned is thought to be effective in mind expansion 613 00:37:21,456 --> 00:37:25,243 and enlightenment. 614 00:37:25,286 --> 00:37:29,029 And myrrh, an oil often associated with death 615 00:37:29,072 --> 00:37:32,032 and embalming representing the afterlife. 616 00:37:34,861 --> 00:37:40,083 But why three gifts and why only those three? 617 00:37:40,127 --> 00:37:42,869 Perhaps the answers can be found written 618 00:37:42,912 --> 00:37:46,829 into the ancient biological language that is as old as life 619 00:37:46,873 --> 00:37:48,178 itself. 620 00:37:48,222 --> 00:37:50,964 A language containing a code of threes. 621 00:37:58,406 --> 00:38:01,017 There is a theory that the key to unlocking 622 00:38:01,061 --> 00:38:04,412 the power of the number three lies in the mystery 623 00:38:04,456 --> 00:38:06,109 of the holy trinity. 624 00:38:06,153 --> 00:38:10,200 That the notion of three divine persons in one god 625 00:38:10,244 --> 00:38:14,596 refers to the three states of being. 626 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:19,384 God the father, the intellectual or ethical self. 627 00:38:19,427 --> 00:38:24,867 God the son, the physical and actual self and God 628 00:38:24,911 --> 00:38:30,699 the Holy Spirit the emotional or aspirational self. 629 00:38:30,743 --> 00:38:33,833 Past, present, and future. 630 00:38:33,876 --> 00:38:35,835 God and man as one. 631 00:38:39,839 --> 00:38:44,104 Qasr El Yahud, Israel. 632 00:38:44,147 --> 00:38:47,107 Here, tens of thousands of Christians 633 00:38:47,150 --> 00:38:48,630 make their way to what is believed 634 00:38:48,674 --> 00:38:51,633 to be the site of Christ baptism in the river Jordan. 635 00:38:56,551 --> 00:38:59,728 It was also here that according to scripture, 636 00:38:59,772 --> 00:39:02,383 God revealed himself as being made up 637 00:39:02,427 --> 00:39:05,386 of three divine persons. 638 00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:11,784 God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. 639 00:39:11,827 --> 00:39:15,396 Otherwise known as the Holy trinity. 640 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,833 In the story of Jesus' baptism, 641 00:39:17,877 --> 00:39:20,488 Jesus is standing in the Jordan River 642 00:39:20,532 --> 00:39:23,883 and we're told that the heavens open up. 643 00:39:23,926 --> 00:39:29,323 And the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove descends upon Jesus. 644 00:39:29,367 --> 00:39:34,459 And the voice of God booms out of heaven and says, 645 00:39:34,502 --> 00:39:40,203 this is my son whom I love and in whom I am well pleased. 646 00:39:40,247 --> 00:39:44,033 So in that scene all three parts of the Trinity 647 00:39:44,077 --> 00:39:47,689 are represented there... Father, son and Holy Spirit. 648 00:39:50,431 --> 00:39:52,694 What makes it a mathematical conundrum 649 00:39:52,738 --> 00:39:54,392 is how can you be one in three? 650 00:39:57,133 --> 00:39:59,832 So it is a mystery. 651 00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:02,095 And some people don't even question it because it 652 00:40:02,138 --> 00:40:04,271 is a matter of faith. 653 00:40:04,314 --> 00:40:08,057 And so, maybe in that image, we could make the argument 654 00:40:08,101 --> 00:40:11,539 that there is a trinity within each and every one of us. 655 00:40:16,631 --> 00:40:18,720 Could the trium nature of God, 656 00:40:18,764 --> 00:40:21,331 as described in the New Testament 657 00:40:21,375 --> 00:40:25,858 also exist in all of mankind? 658 00:40:25,901 --> 00:40:30,210 And if so, does this suggest that the power of three 659 00:40:30,253 --> 00:40:33,343 might somehow connect humanity with divine, 660 00:40:33,387 --> 00:40:38,479 or as some would believe extra terrestrial forces? 661 00:40:38,523 --> 00:40:40,525 Ancient astronaut theorists believe 662 00:40:40,568 --> 00:40:44,311 the answers can be found not only in the Bible 663 00:40:44,354 --> 00:40:50,665 but encoded within the genetic blueprint of the human body. 664 00:40:55,061 --> 00:41:00,109 Huntington New York, 1966. 665 00:41:00,153 --> 00:41:02,851 Scientists announced one of the greatest breakthroughs 666 00:41:02,895 --> 00:41:04,592 of modern science. 667 00:41:04,636 --> 00:41:09,815 They have successfully deciphered the genetic code. 668 00:41:09,858 --> 00:41:12,861 After years of research, they discover 669 00:41:12,905 --> 00:41:15,385 that the universal structure of DNA 670 00:41:15,429 --> 00:41:19,912 consists of a series of three molecule combinations known 671 00:41:19,955 --> 00:41:22,784 as codons or triplets. 672 00:41:22,828 --> 00:41:26,875 You had this DNA sequence and it codes for ultimately 673 00:41:26,919 --> 00:41:28,616 the proteins in your body. 674 00:41:28,660 --> 00:41:31,097 And the question was, how does it code for that? 675 00:41:31,140 --> 00:41:34,056 Does each individual base pair represent something? 676 00:41:34,100 --> 00:41:36,668 Is it two at a time that represents something? 677 00:41:36,711 --> 00:41:38,365 Is it a sequence of 10? 678 00:41:38,408 --> 00:41:40,976 And it turns out that is very clear it comes in clusters 679 00:41:41,020 --> 00:41:42,761 of three. 680 00:41:42,804 --> 00:41:50,246 Essentially the number three is the key to our DNA language. 681 00:41:50,290 --> 00:41:52,684 And this was revolutionary for its time 682 00:41:52,727 --> 00:41:56,296 because the ancient alien theory has always suggested 683 00:41:56,339 --> 00:42:00,474 that the ultimate proof of extraterrestrial tampering 684 00:42:00,518 --> 00:42:05,174 in our past will not come in the form of a crashed spaceship 685 00:42:05,218 --> 00:42:09,875 or some type of tools, but the actual proof will 686 00:42:09,918 --> 00:42:14,488 come from within our own DNA. 687 00:42:14,532 --> 00:42:18,318 This may in fact be a universal manifestation 688 00:42:18,361 --> 00:42:20,015 of the power of three. 689 00:42:20,059 --> 00:42:22,452 In time, I believe, we will find out 690 00:42:22,496 --> 00:42:25,455 that DNA is written into the background of the universe 691 00:42:25,499 --> 00:42:26,979 itself. 692 00:42:27,022 --> 00:42:29,285 It is assembled by the basic laws of quantum physics. 693 00:42:29,329 --> 00:42:31,592 And the underlying power of three 694 00:42:31,636 --> 00:42:34,334 is an essential tool in seeing the hand 695 00:42:34,377 --> 00:42:37,903 of the divine architect at work and making us who we are today. 696 00:42:41,907 --> 00:42:44,170 The number three is the key to unlocking 697 00:42:44,213 --> 00:42:45,780 the ancient mysteries. 698 00:42:45,824 --> 00:42:48,957 We see threes everywhere, and it's a possible pointer 699 00:42:49,001 --> 00:42:50,785 to the idea that the three is the guiding 700 00:42:50,829 --> 00:42:53,527 principle of the universe and manifests even in our DNA. 701 00:42:56,356 --> 00:43:01,187 So we can see here how this power of three 702 00:43:01,230 --> 00:43:05,104 is pervasive all through the universe, 703 00:43:05,147 --> 00:43:09,761 including in our own DNA. 704 00:43:09,804 --> 00:43:13,373 And is it possible that its extraterrestrials who've 705 00:43:13,416 --> 00:43:16,637 encoded this within us? 706 00:43:16,681 --> 00:43:20,641 And that once we understand, this power of three, 707 00:43:20,685 --> 00:43:27,343 we ourselves will become like our creators the gods. 708 00:43:27,387 --> 00:43:30,477 Does the physical expression of a power of three 709 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,089 found within our own DNA really prove 710 00:43:34,133 --> 00:43:36,570 an extraterrestrial design for mankind? 711 00:43:39,704 --> 00:43:42,881 A design whose meaning we are only just beginning 712 00:43:42,924 --> 00:43:45,492 to comprehend. 713 00:43:45,535 --> 00:43:49,278 Or could the answer lie in a combination of all the trios 714 00:43:49,322 --> 00:43:52,281 and trinities embedded throughout the mythical and 715 00:43:52,325 --> 00:43:54,893 religious world? 716 00:43:54,936 --> 00:43:57,243 Perhaps the answer will lead us back 717 00:43:57,286 --> 00:44:00,638 to mankind's place of origin. 718 00:44:00,681 --> 00:44:05,817 And the ultimate proof that our origins lie not on Earth 719 00:44:05,860 --> 00:44:07,470 but out of this world. 58595
