>> NARRATOR: Megalithic

monuments linked together by

electromagnetic energy.

Prehistoric ruins

arranged across vast distances

in straight lines.

And advanced mathematics

carved into landmarks more than

5,000 years ago.

Were ancient man's spectacular

structures built by humans

alone?

Or do they bear evidence of

being designed, and

interconnected, by otherworldly

visitors?

>> PHILIP COPPENS: These

cultures were doing something on

a global scale interacting,

creating a pattern.

>> BILL BIRNES: The layout of

these ancient monuments could be

a secret code that the ancients

created for later societies.

>> DAVID CHILDRESS: The ancients

placed pyramids and obelisks,

and other standing stones at key

places.

And they were somehow being used

as navigational beacons by the

ancients and the

extraterrestrials.

>> NARRATOR: Millions of people

around the world believe we have

been visited in the past by

extraterrestrial beings.

What if it were true?

Did ancient aliens really help

to shape our history?

And if so, did they leave behind

a secret code, one which

reveals mankind's

extraterrestrial origins?

>> NARRATOR: Stonehenge,

England‐‐ The Great Pyramid

of Egypt‐‐ Teotihuacan, Mexico

and Machu Picchu, Peru.

All around the world, ancient

man built extraordinary

monuments.

And although separated by vast

distances and thousands of

years, researchers believe that

a secret code, embedded in

megalithic monuments, may

reveal the truth behind the

connections between numerous

ancient civilizations.

>> COPPENS: When you look at

where the ancients built their

monuments it is clear that they

were marking the places where

the power of the Earth could be

harnessed.

So the question really is can we

still maintain that all of these

sites were simply chosen by

accident?

Or is there far more to it than

that?

The evidence clearly suggests

that these cultures were doing

something on a global scale

interacting, creating a pattern,

which is really unique and lost

to us right now.

>> NARRATOR: Some researchers

have discovered a strong

connection between sacred

structures and powerfully

charged areas of the globe,

where the Earth's

electromagnetic energy gathers.

Today electromagnetic energy

waves provide for all visible

light, radio and cellular

communication, as well as

microwaves and X‐rays.

>> MICHAEL DENNIN: Energy

scientifically is a property

that things have that we say

technically allows it to do

work or make things move.

So you think of things like

magnetic fields, electric

fields, gravity, things moving,

heating things up, those are all

forms of energy.

And the one thing we do know is

the Earth has a magnetic field

and the magnetic field connects

different parts on the Earth.

>> HUGH NEWMAN: And these

strange anomalies occur, like

gravitational anomalies and

magnetic anomalies.

And even like anomalies to do

with distortions of vision.

And if you sort of mark them on

a map where they all are they

seem to form into these

geometric grids.

>> CHILDRESS: It seems that

ancient people, possibly with

the help of ancient aliens,

early on mapped the entire

Earth, and noted these special

power spots, and vortex areas

that occur on islands, and

mountain areas, and jungles all

around the planet.

It was important to them, and

these places are related by

geometry, and latitude, and

longitude.

>> NARRATOR: Known as "the world

grid", ancient astronaut

theorists believe our ancestors

purposely constructed their

monuments on energy lines that,

when mapped and connected,

create a significant pattern.

>> CHILDRESS: The concept of the

world grid is that the Earth is

like a giant crystal and energy

is flowing around it at little

nodules, and energy paths are

intersecting and moving all over

the world.

>> NARRATOR: In the 4th century

BC, Greek philosopher and

mathematician Plato taught that

the basic structure of the Earth

evolved from geometric shapes

now known as Platonic Solids.

>> NEWMAN: Plato left a

tantalizing clue as to possibly

the first mention of the world

grid.

He basically described the Earth

as being created from 12

pentagonal faces, and 20 points,

or vertices, on the surface.

And when you join these together

and mark them on a map, you

realize that there's kind of

geometrical formations that

appear between them.

>> BETHE HAGENS: Plato wrote

that there was a world soul and

this world soul he described as

a sphere that was composed of

120 equal identical triangles.

I believed that that model

actually could be applied to the

Earth.

>> NARRATOR: To illustrate

Plato's "Sphere of Triangles,"

anthropologist Bethe Hagens

designed a model of the Earth,

divided by 15 circles.

>> HAGENS: Here you can see a

cluster of ten of the triangles

of the 120 that Plato mentioned.

Besides seeing this as

triangles, you can see it as 15

equators that actually cut the

Earth in half.

You can see they all go around

whichever way you look.

They're all great circles.

It's a geometric model of the

Earth energy grid of what Plato

discovered 2,500 years ago.

>> NARRATOR: But is it possible,

as ancient astronaut theorists

believe, that man was able to

capture and use the Earth's

energy at power centers around

the world to help build their

megalithic monuments?

>> NEWMAN: There's fascinating

ideas that they were actually

using this for

anti‐gravitational purposes.

And they were actually able to

lift, and quarry, and move the

huge megalithic blocks great

distances around the planet.

And so we have to question, was

there something to do with this

grid that they were actually

harnessing, and they were able

to use the energies from it to

move and construct these sites?

>> MIKE BARA: The ancients

clearly understood that, if they

located their sacred sites at

these places, they would get

some sort of powerful alignment

with the Earth, the universe,

everything would come into flow,

and it would be a great place

for their places of worship.

The question is: Where did they

get the information?

Is it something that was passed

down to them from a higher human

civilization?

Or, was it passed down to them

from somebody even higher than

that?

>> BILL BIRNES: The layout of

these ancient monuments and

these celebratory places,

because they lie on the Earth's

magnetic grid, well could be a

secret code that the ancients

created for later societies

containing a secret about the

relationship of those

civilizations to ancient aliens.

>> GIROGIO TSOUKALOS:

Extraterrestrials told our

ancestors, hey, here, create

this on that particular point

and they did that all around the

world and now when we connect

all those places, when we plot

them on a globe, they create

this perfect pattern that

would've been impossible by

chance.

It's a huge mystery how it was

done unless you take into

consideration that this might've

been a "message" for our

generation that was left behind

by extraterrestrials who visited

our ancestors in the remote

past.

>> BARA: A lot of these ancient

sites on the world grid are

always associated with UFO

sightings.

The UFOs themselves seem to

understand that these are

important places.

And, it's almost as if they are

kind of feeding off the energy

of these places, when they come

to visit the Earth.

>> NARRATOR: Did ancient

cultures around the world really

build their monuments using

powerful Earth energy under the

guidance of star travelers, as

ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

Perhaps further evidence can be

found by taking a closer look at

the strange link between some of

the oldest monuments on Earth

and their connection to the

stars.

>> NARRATOR: The Boyne River

Valley, 30 miles north of

Dublin, Ireland.

Here, within this archaeological

site, lie the ruins of the

Newgrange Passage Tomb, built

around 3150 BC.

>> ANTONY MURPHY: This is

Newgrange, which is Ireland's

foremost monument in terms of

mythical and historic

significance.

It was constructed by a

community of farmers and

astronomers who inhabited this

valley.

And together they enshrined

their spiritual and scientific

beliefs, monumentally in stone.

>> NARRATOR: Constructed with

over 200,000 tons of stone

quarried 75 miles away,

Newgrange is known as a passage

tomb because the enormous mound

has one passageway that leads to

a centralized chamber in which

bone fragments have been found.

>> MURPHY: This is the central

chamber of Newgrange, with its

massive corbelled ceiling, which

has kept the chamber dry,

completely bone dry, for 5,000

years.

At the end of the chamber here,

it opens up into this opening

with the three recesses and

there are three very large basin

stones in each of the recesses.

And it was in these basins that

the remains of the dead would

have been placed.

The amazing thing about

Newgrange is what they've

managed to do with these giant

stones is create an opening

in the chamber which accepts

sunlight on the dawn of the

winter solstice.

>> NARRATOR: In fact, the

structure's main chamber remains

in darkness, except for one day,

at winter solstice, when the

sunrise illuminates

the 60‐foot long passageway

and central chamber for a mere

17 minutes.

>> MURPHY: They saw the other

world as lying amongst the stars

and they believed that in

placing the bones of their

deceased relatives in the

chamber, that the souls of the

dead would be brought into the

other world on the dawn of the

winter solstice when the light

of the sun came in and perhaps

drew the spirit out into the

other world.

>> NARRATOR: The remarkable

layout of the tomb's ground plan

is an achievement many

researchers believe could only

have been accomplished with

advanced knowledge of

constellations.

>> MURPHY: The passage and

chamber are cruciform in shape.

They're shaped like a cross,

which we think is very

significant because it seems to

be based on the shape of the

constellation, Cygnus, which is

the swan constellation of the

sky.

>> ANDREW COLLINS: Cygnus is one

of the most important

constellations to the ancients.

We know it probably better as

the Northern Cross.

And these set of stars seem to

mark where the Milky Way

actually breaks into two.

And universally for prehistoric

societies around the world, this

point in the sky, known as the

Cygnus rift, has been seen as an

entrance and exit into some kind

of sky world.

We call it Heaven today and it

was seen as the point in the sky

of cosmic creation.

>> NARRATOR: Is it possible the

ancient people at Newgrange

received knowledge of our solar

system and distant galaxies from

another, more otherworldly,

source, as ancient astronaut

theorists believe?

And might the ancient builders

have intentionally left a code

for future civilizations to

decipher?

If so, what were they trying to

tell us?

>> GEORGE NOORY: They were

experts in astronomy.

They were also experts in

building.

How they possessed both I find

to be very uncanny.

Because they are supposedly

doing this without high tech

equipment and instruments.

But they did look toward the

heavens, and they tried to copy

the heavens.

>> COPPENS: When we look at the

ancient people themselves, and

ask why they did it, they are

quite straightforward in

answering this question.

And that answer is simply

because this has to do with the

gods and figuring out when the

gods would come in the future. e

world there are numerous ancient

sites that were built in precise

alignment with constellations,

primarily Cygnus and Orion.

Perhaps the most famous example

can be found at the Giza Plateau

in the layout of the three

great pyramids of Egypt.

>> BAUVAL: I discovered in the

early '80s that there was a

correlation between Orion's belt

and the layout of the three

pyramids.

You have two large pyramids,

aligned with each other, and the

third smaller one offset from

that alignment.

Well that's the same way you

have the stars.

You have two bright stars and a

third less bright star offset

from the line of the other two.

The correlation is evident.

>> NARRATOR: Other ancient sites

built in close alignment with

the constellation of Orion

include: The ancient city of

Teotihuacán in Central Mexico,

established in 100 BC,

the layout of ancient Hopi

villages in the American

Southwest,

and the Thornborough Henges, a

Neolithic landscape complex in

Yorkshire, Northern England,

dating to between 3500 and 2500

BC.

>> CHRISTOPHER KNIGHT: The

Thornborough Henges are

believed to be a copy of the

stars of Orion's belt.

Their accuracy is just stunning.

Now, is that coincidence?

I mean, it really is exact.

>> NARRATOR: But why were so

many civilizations all around

the world focused on Orion?

>> ADRIAN GILBERT: The

constellation of Orion has a

special magnetism for us, partly

is because it does look like a

man.

And certainly the Egyptians

claimed that their gods came

from there, and there is a sense

that this is where we come from,

that somehow the human race has

been implanted on this planet

and that that's where our father

lives.

>> NARRATOR: Some researchers

believe, in addition to

mirroring the three stars in

Orion's belt, the pyramids at

Giza also encode, in their

placement, a significant

message about the origin of

their culture.

>> BAUVAL: The position of

Orion's belt relative to the

Milky Way is the same as the

pyramids relative to the Nile.

When you look at the two images,

they look the same, except one

is stellar and one is earthly.

What adds to this is that the

alignment, the pattern of

Orion's belt, matches what is on

the ground, not at the time that

Egyptologists tell us, but in

10500 B. C.

When you look at the sky in

10500 B. C., the lock is almost

perfect.

>> JASON MARTELL: At that

same date, Leo is aligned

perfectly with the gaze

of the Sphinx.

So at 10500 BC, even though the

pyramids were built in 2500 BC,

we see a terrestrial alignment

of the monuments on the Earth

mimicking the stars in the sky.

>> BAUVAL: So you have two

constellations locking

themselves with two sets of

monuments, the Sphinx and the

three pyramids, in 10500 B. C.

It cannot be a coincidence.

>> BARA: Was it something they

intuitively channeled?

Or, did somebody else‐‐ someone

from higher up‐‐ teach them

all of this stuff and help them

to build these monuments, and

help them to create these

messages from ancient times, to

try to get us to appreciate who

we really are, where we really

came from, and why we're really

here.

>> NARRATOR: Might the builders

of Egypt's pyramids and

of the Newgrange Passage Tomb,

really have embedded in their

structures a secret code telling

us about the otherworldly

origins of the elite rulers of

their societies, as ancient

astronaut theorists believe?

If so, might there be hidden

messages contained in other

ancient monuments around the

world?

Perhaps answers can be found by

examining what some researchers

call "ancient flight paths."

>> NARRATOR: Herefordshire,

England. June 30, 1921.

While horseback riding through

the British countryside, amateur

archaeologist Alfred Watkins

notices that ancient features

and structures across the

landscape appear to be arranged

along straight lines.

Four years later, in 1925,

Watkins publishes The Old

Straight Track, a book in

which he proposes that man's

earliest monuments and megaliths

were linked by a network of long

straight tracks.

>> COLLINS: And he referred to

them as ley lines, but as to

what these were he could only

really say that perhaps they

were lines that were used by the

ancients to communicate from one

place to the next.

In other words they were simply

markers on a journey.

>> HAGENS: Ley lines are mostly

found in England and France.

They're literally geographic

markings between sacred sites.

They might be old churches, they

might be churches built on top

of megalithic ruins.

But you'll see dead straight

lines between these sites that

have been maintained.

>> LINDA HOWE: The Michael Line

in England is a straight line

and it is measurable.

It's a magnetic field line that

you can measure and it will be

higher than other areas around

it geographically.

>> NARRATOR: In his book,

Watkins further theorized that

ancient landmarks along ley

lines were deliberately placed

by early man for the purpose of

line‐of‐sight navigation.

>> NEWMAN: Watkins believed they

were trade routes originally.

But later it was noticed that

some of them went over really

obscure terrain, like mountains,

and bogs, and streams, and all

this kind of stuff so they

couldn't really have been

walking.

Seems more like they were a

survey, or a mapping system.

>> NARRATOR: Some researchers

believe that ley lines are

magnetic in nature, and

delineate the lines of Earth's

unseen energy fields.

But if ley lines were useful for

overland navigation to the

ancients, might they also have

been useful for aerial

navigation by extraterrestrial

visitors, as ancient astronaut

theorists believe?

>> TSOUKALOS: Something

extraordinary happened along

those ley lines because the once

very physical and real visit of

extraterrestrial beings has been

forgotten.

>> NARRATOR: Trelleborg,

Denmark.

Here, along the northern reaches

of the European continent, lie

the archaeological ruins of a

Viking fortress dating to 900

A.D.

For decades, mainstream

historians have been baffled by

the precise nature of

Trelleborg's perfectly circular

design‐‐ with a courtyard

divided into four zones, each

with four longhouses and

gateways open precisely to the

four cardinal directions: north,

south, east and west.

Some believe such a strict

geometric design would have

required extensive knowledge of

advanced engineering.

The mystery deepened in 1982

when pilot Preben Hansson

discovered a direct line of

flight from Trelleborg to three

other Viking fortresses‐‐ all

constructed with a similar

design.

>> PETER FIEBAG (translated):

Trelleborg was the starting

point.

134 miles farther, and another

fort appeared.

He found more forts so that

there was a line of four forts

in Denmark.

>> BARA: Given that the Vikings

were basically seafaring people,

and these sites are spread out

so far, over land and great

distances, it implies that,

maybe they had some other way of

getting to these places.

Perhaps they even were able to

fly.

Now, how they would fly, what

the technology was‐‐ it's a good

question.

But, it seems unlikely that they

would be able to find all these

spots, survey them, and place

monuments and structures there,

if they were simply a seafaring

race.

>> ERICH VON DANIKEN: These

Viking fortresses are all on one

straight line.

You continue the one line

straight ahead, over the Alps,

for thousands and thousands of

kilometers, and under the line,

always holy places from

antiquity from Stone Age.

And the line points directly to

Delphi‐‐ Delphi in Greece.

Delphi was the place of the god

Apollo.

And mythology about Apollo says

every year, two times, Apollo

took his heavenly chariot,

disappeared in a faraway land in

the north.

Apollo flies on one straight

line.

At several points, he makes a

stop.

Wherever he makes a stop, the

Stone Age people start to create

a holy place of it because here

was a god.

>> NARRATOR: Is it possible that

the ley lines that connected

early civilizations were

actually flight paths, as

ancient astronaut theorists

believe?

And might such flight paths have

been used by extraterrestrial

spacecraft?

>> VON DANIKEN: The

extraterrestrials in the

past knew exactly that the

future generations would develop

technology, they would fly, they

would measure, they would

photograph their own land.

So by photographing their land,

they would realize something is

strange here on the ground.

>> BIRNES: How could a straight

line link ancient Egypt, the

pyramids, the Oracle of Delphi

in Greece, and Viking fortresses

that would've been established

thousands of years later.

It made no sense.

But it does make sense if these

installations are along straight

lines across the Earth's grid,

and if somehow those straight

lines marked navigation routes

for ancient extraterrestrials

that use them as markers to

navigate the globe from society

to society.

>> TSOUKALOS: Is it possible

that these ancient sites along

ley lines were nothing else but

refueling stations for ancient

astronaut craft?

And the answer is yes.

Because just like today, a plane

goes in straight lines.

And if a plane needs to refuel,

it lands at an airport that's on

its course and not, you know, a

thousand miles to the east or a

thousand miles to the west.

A plane flies straight.

>> COLLINS: It was suggested

that UFO's may be connected in

some way, because it could well

be that they are following the

paths of geomagnetic fields, the

different variations, the

different strengths that exist.

It was often seen that UFO's

seemed to either appear or

descend or rise in connection

with where the ley lines seem to

intersect.

And this has been seen time

and time again around the world

at different UFO hot spots.

>> NARRATOR: Might the sacred

sites along ancient flight paths

really have been landing points,

or perhaps fueling stations for

extraterrestrial space vehicles?

Perhaps further evidence can be

found by examining the ancient

civilizations that are

connected from opposite

sides of the globe., Peru.

Here, lie the impressive ruins

of the ancient capital of the

Inca empire that thrived from

the 13th to 15th century.

Long suspected by ancient

astronaut theorists to have

been a place visited by

extraterrestrial beings in the

distant past‐‐ Cusco is

considered to be an axis mundi,

which in religion or mythology

means the "center" or "navel of

the world"

>> COPPENS: They are very

important sites.

And quite often when you start

looking into some sites, like

Cusco‐‐ Cusco literally means

navel of the world.

It was the navel of the empire

of the Inca.

So Cusco isn't unique.

We really find navel sites

everywhere.

And the navel sites are quite

often the most important sites

of a culture.

Jerusalem is one, Giza Plateau

is another.

>> BIRNES: World navels, because

they lie along the Earth's

magnetic grid were places where

the ancients created what could

only be called heaven's gates,

altars, places where human

beings could communicate with

otherworldly entities.

>> NARRATOR: Evidence can also

be found connecting Cusco with

another world navel over 2,000

miles away in the South

Pacific‐‐ Easter Island.

Although mainstream historians

and archeologists believe the

two places were never in contact

in ancient times, Cusco and

Easter Island feature strikingly

similar styles of stonework‐‐

with colossal multi‐sided stones

precisely fitted as if each

joint was welded together.

>> TSOUKALOS: The walls at Cusco

are identical to the walls we

can find in the base foundations

of some of the Moai's on Easter

Island.

And those two places are so far

apart, I wonder, how was it

done?

Either the builders travelled

from one place to the other or

the builders in each culture

were visited by the same

teachers.

The teachers from the stars,

extraterrestrials.

>> FIEBAG: These navels of the

world might have been geodesic

points, which you could use to

navigate from the air.

There are interesting accounts

about this, for example from

Apollonius, who lived in Rome in

4 AD, that he descended with

Thunderbirds, that he had

visited the city of the gods.

There he was given talismans,

which he was supposed to bury.

There is a similar legend from

Cusco.

There the children of the sun

god are supposed to have plunged

a rod into the Earth.

And there are similar legends on

Easter Island.

>> NARRATOR: But if Cusco and

Easter Island were linked in

ancient times by space

travelers, what might this say

about other "centers of the

world"?

Strangely, some ancient

civilizations are located on the

exact opposite sides of the

planet.

A line drawn from Easter Island

through the center of the

Earth, points to Mohenjo‐Daro,

Pakistan, a once great empire

believed by ancient astronaut

theorists to have been destroyed

by a nuclear blast thousands of

years ago.

And, from Nazca, Peru, a line

through the Earth points to

Angkor Wat, Cambodia‐‐ a site of

great religious significance‐‐

known in ancient myths to have

been built as a landing zone for

sky beings.

And, astonishingly, these four

sites lie on one circle around

the globe‐‐ a circle that also

includes the location of the

Great Pyramids of Egypt.

>> COPPENS: This is really the

underlying mystery I think,

which is not necessarily why

were they monuments built, for

what purpose?

But also why were they built

on those specific places?

Because really what we

are beginning to understand is

that all of these monuments from

the past were not just built

haphazardly on the surface of

the Earth, but were built in

very specific locations.

>> MARTELL: It appears that

ancient people either mapped the

Earth in some esoteric way that

we can't comprehend yet, or it

was sacred knowledge handed down

over thousands of years.

>> NARRATOR: Might such

connections between ancient

sites around the world suggest

that there was some sort of

strategic link between these

civilizations, as ancient

astronaut theorists believe?

And, if so, what could this

mean?

Before the advent of

satellite‐guided global

positioning systems, the science

of geodesy was used to determine

the exact position of geographic

points on the globe.

One of the oldest of Earth

sciences, the use of geodesy

dates back thousands of years.

>> MARTELL: There's clear

records that geodesy was used by

the Sumerians in ancient times.

Several of the landing spots

used by the gods were actually

triangulation points to the

landing corridor.

Things like Baalbek in Lebanon,

or Jerusalem were actually

extensive megalithic monuments

with platforms that were used to

launch spacecraft.

And ancient man recorded stories

around these locations of seeing

great smoke, fire, and loud

noise as these ships ascended or

descended from these locations.

>> DENNIN: It's probably highly

reasonable that the ancients had

systems of navigation.

I mean, we know the Romans did

effectively that.

And that was why they were so

efficient at getting around

their empire in addition to

their roads and keeping track of

things.

>> CHILDRESS: In the early era

of our own flight, pilots used

markers which would be church

steeples or mountains, and

obvious physical monuments that

they could see.

Just like that, the ancient

aliens they were able to also

use this world grid and the

pyramids and obelisks, and other

monuments that were built at

these special power places to

navigate.

>> NEWMAN: It's almost like the

ancients were building these

sites and they were mapping the

planet in vast antiquity,

possibly up to 10,000 or more

years ago.

>> BIRNES: Because of the

interaction between ancient

civilization and ancient aliens,

these ancient societies,

recognizing the importance of

these spots, and the presence of

ancient aliens, place these

monuments as a map for the star

people, for the ancient aliens

to follow and to direct them to

the civilizations they might

well have started by themselves

as colonies.

>> NARRATOR: Is it really

possible that many of the

world's most famous ancient

sites were part of an

interconnected network whose

placement on the globe was

planned tens of thousands of

years ago by visitors from other

galaxies, as ancient astronaut

theorists contend?

Perhaps more evidence can be

found among numerous strange

symbols hidden in plain view

along the northwest coast of

France.

Morbihan.

Along the rocky coast of French

Brittany is the small island of

Gavrinis.

Here, lie the remains of a

passage grave known as Gavrinis

tomb‐‐ built around 3500 BC.

>> TSOUKALOS: Gavrinis is an

extraordinary passage grave that

illustrates highly advanced

mathematical knowledge dating

back to prehistoric times.

What's really amazing about

Gavrinis is that there are

spirals and hand axes and almost

things that look like

fingerprints that have been

carved onto the megalithic

slabs.

And mathematicians have

determined that there are hidden

messages, hidden mathematical

messages.

>> COPPENS: When people came to

Gavrinis and they began to make

measurements as to how these

stones were placed, they began

to realize that these stones

weren't just placed haphazardly

in some kind of coincidental

form, but actually displayed

extraordinary understanding

and knowledge of mathematics.

>> NARRATOR: 52 megalithic

stones were used in the

construction of the passage

grave, of which 26 are engraved

with unique symbols.

By adding, dividing and

multiplying the numbers of

symbols with significant stones

or groups of stones, researchers

have discovered the correct

spherical size of the Earth, the

number of days in a year, and

the mathematical constant‐‐ Pi.

>> SARA SEAGER: Pi is a very

special number in mathematics.

Pi is a fundamental property of

all circles.

It's the ratio of a circle's

circumference to its diameter.

>> TSOUKALOS: These

mathematicians have not only

determined the numerical Pi way,

way, way before it was ever

discovered, quote, unquote, but

also the exact longitude and

latitude of the island.

Now that is sensational because

why would Stone Age people know

about the longitude and latitude

of that particular island?

>> NARRATOR: But do such

findings of precise mathematical

knowledge at Gavrinis,

engraved there more than 5,000

years ago, suggest that its

builders were leaving a secret

code for future generations, as

ancient astronaut theorists

contend?

If so, what might they have

wanted to tell us?

>> NICK REDFERN: We do see

evidence of profound

mathematical knowledge at work.

The big question is did we

develop that ourselves or is

this an important aspect of the

energy grid issue, that was

instilled upon us by ancient

aliens, teaching us about

mathematics because it was

important in the very clear,

precise construction

of these huge structures.

>> TSOUKALOS: None of this makes

any sense unless the

construction was directly

commissioned by

extraterrestrials because they

knew that we'd have the

wherewithal to decipher the

message.

>> NARRATOR: But is it really

possible that the principles of

advanced mathematics were

brought to Earth and given to

man by alien visitors?

According to ancient astronaut

theorists, the idea is not only

possible‐‐ but probable.

>> BARA: There is no way that

we could have achieved the moon

landings, for instance, without

a very advanced knowledge of

higher mathematics, that these

ancient cultures seemed to know,

way, way back, many, many

thousands of years.

>> CHILDRESS: This may be the

reason that extraterrestrials

wanted us to develop

mathematical knowledge ourselves

because it's only with that

special knowledge that we're

able to advance into the skies

and to the stars.

>> HOWE: If you go back through

history, let's say to Greece,

Mesopotamia, Sumeria, Egypt

where there was clearly some of

the most advanced astronomy, and

emergence of advanced

mathematics.

When these ancient civilizations

were building hugely complex

pyramids, and beautiful Doric

columns in Greece and the

ziggurats of Mesopotamia, is it

possible that none of those

had anything to do with the

minds of humans at the time?

But were actually the creation

by nonhumans who have

interacted with this planet for

thousands of years?

>> MARTELL: The Anunnaki that

came here as gods to the

Sumerian culture gave them a

math system based on the number

12.

And we see this number 12

being repeated throughout time.

12 hours in a day, 12 inches in

a foot, 12 in a dozen.

It spans very much into

different parts of our culture.

>> BARA: There seems to be a

single, universal, mathematical

geometric code for how the

universe works.

And, somebody has been trying to

get us to wake up to this fact

for thousands, and thousands,

and thousands of years.

>> TSOUKALOS: Because ancient

astronauts were aware that our

development one day would reach

a highly advanced technological

status, they wanted to leave

behind some type of a message, a

type of secret code that needed

to be deciphered by a future

generation that understood, or

would understand what really

happened in the past, and that

generation is us.

>> NARRATOR: The world energy

grid‐‐ star alignments‐‐

ancient flight paths‐‐

and mathematics.

Did ancient astronauts really

leave behind a secret code

embedded in the stone monuments

of early man?

One that reveals the

extraterrestrial origins of our

world?

If so, why?

Was it to test us, to see if we

could figure the code out for

ourselves?

Was it simply to communicate

with us?

Or was it to prepare us

for the day they will return?
