Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,042 --> 00:00:05,724
A mathematical message encoded
within a megalithic tomb.
2
00:00:06,458 --> 00:00:09,083
A mysterious ancient symbol
3
00:00:09,291 --> 00:00:12,833
with connections to the cosmos.
4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,750
And complex patterns
5
00:00:14,916 --> 00:00:17,750
that appear in fields
around the world.
6
00:00:18,792 --> 00:00:22,125
Over the years,
Ancient Aliens has documented
7
00:00:22,292 --> 00:00:24,500
evidence of
otherworldly visitation
8
00:00:24,667 --> 00:00:28,667
believed to be concealed
in ancient codes and symbols.
9
00:00:29,707 --> 00:00:33,582
Now we're counting down
the ten most intriguing
10
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:36,832
and mysterious codes
we've examined.
11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,582
Codes that just might
unlock the truth
12
00:00:39,750 --> 00:00:43,125
about our extraterrestrial past.
13
00:00:51,667 --> 00:00:53,332
Throughout the ancient world,
14
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:56,792
we can find mysterious
structures, carvings,
15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,625
and symbols
that defy explanation.
16
00:00:59,750 --> 00:01:02,457
For ancient astronaut
theorists like me,
17
00:01:02,582 --> 00:01:05,332
these are signs
that our ancestors were
18
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,707
influenced
by extraterrestrial visitors,
19
00:01:07,875 --> 00:01:09,792
and they represent a code
20
00:01:09,917 --> 00:01:13,332
left for future generations
to decipher.
21
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:16,957
A prime example are
the giant monoliths
22
00:01:17,042 --> 00:01:19,207
that were erected
all over the Earth
23
00:01:19,375 --> 00:01:21,917
thousands of years ago
for reasons
24
00:01:22,042 --> 00:01:25,292
that archaeologists
still do not understand.
25
00:01:25,457 --> 00:01:31,000
At number ten on our countdown
of the top ten alien codes:
26
00:01:31,207 --> 00:01:32,957
the Standing Stones.
27
00:01:36,332 --> 00:01:37,875
Throughout the planet,
28
00:01:38,042 --> 00:01:42,542
scattered across Europe, Asia,
Africa and the Americas,
29
00:01:42,707 --> 00:01:46,167
are more than 50,000
ancient standing stones.
30
00:01:46,332 --> 00:01:48,707
They are enormous monoliths
31
00:01:48,917 --> 00:01:51,417
that have been placed
vertically into the ground.
32
00:01:51,582 --> 00:01:55,000
Most date back
more than 5,000 years,
33
00:01:55,125 --> 00:01:58,667
and the largest
weigh over 300 tons...
34
00:01:58,832 --> 00:02:02,375
more than double the weight
of the Statue of Liberty.
35
00:02:02,582 --> 00:02:05,667
When we look at these
standing stones in the earth,
36
00:02:05,875 --> 00:02:08,417
they are particularly mysterious
37
00:02:08,542 --> 00:02:11,332
and they bring
something out in us,
38
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:13,707
an awe, a sense of mystery.
39
00:02:13,875 --> 00:02:16,417
Why are these stones here?
40
00:02:16,582 --> 00:02:19,375
It must have some purpose
but we don't know what it is.
41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,500
On the northwest coast
of France lies the most famous
42
00:02:24,707 --> 00:02:27,875
and mysterious collection
of ancient standing stones
43
00:02:28,042 --> 00:02:30,207
found anywhere in the world.
44
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:34,500
Stretching across two miles
of rolling countryside,
45
00:02:34,707 --> 00:02:37,207
the more than 3,000
giant monoliths
46
00:02:37,332 --> 00:02:40,582
are known as the Carnac stones.
47
00:02:40,750 --> 00:02:42,667
French archeologists
48
00:02:42,832 --> 00:02:46,000
have been able to give a date
to these standing stones,
49
00:02:46,125 --> 00:02:47,625
and it's 5000 B.C.
50
00:02:47,792 --> 00:02:49,167
So they're saying
51
00:02:49,375 --> 00:02:53,292
that these stones were
erected 7,000 years ago,
52
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:56,332
but they don't know
who erected them.
53
00:02:56,542 --> 00:02:58,332
They don't know why
they were erected.
54
00:02:58,542 --> 00:02:59,957
They don't know how
55
00:03:00,167 --> 00:03:03,042
they moved all these stones
and erected them.
56
00:03:05,332 --> 00:03:07,457
Some mainstream
scholars suggest
57
00:03:07,582 --> 00:03:09,667
that the stones are
simply grave markers,
58
00:03:09,875 --> 00:03:11,417
while others theorize
59
00:03:11,542 --> 00:03:13,917
that they track
astronomical events
60
00:03:14,082 --> 00:03:16,792
like the solstice and equinox.
61
00:03:16,917 --> 00:03:19,832
But ancient astronaut
theorists propose
62
00:03:20,042 --> 00:03:22,125
the precise placement
of the Carnac Stones
63
00:03:22,292 --> 00:03:26,167
represent geometric alignments
far more sophisticated
64
00:03:26,332 --> 00:03:29,167
than they might appear
at first glance.
65
00:03:30,582 --> 00:03:34,832
These 3,000 stones
have been arranged
66
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,832
in very specific arrangements.
67
00:03:38,042 --> 00:03:41,000
In fact, one
of the arrangements we have
68
00:03:41,207 --> 00:03:44,625
is a representation
of the Pythagorean theorem,
69
00:03:44,792 --> 00:03:48,000
which is "A squared plus
B squared equals C squared."
70
00:03:48,167 --> 00:03:51,542
How do we have
that mathematical message
71
00:03:51,707 --> 00:03:55,000
in an archeological site
that's at least
72
00:03:55,167 --> 00:03:57,750
7,000 years old?
73
00:03:57,917 --> 00:04:00,625
The constructions in Carnac
is thousands of years
74
00:04:00,832 --> 00:04:03,250
older than Pythagoras,
the Greek mathematician.
75
00:04:03,417 --> 00:04:06,832
So somebody must have
teached our ancestors
76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,667
to put these stones
in a certain line,
77
00:04:09,832 --> 00:04:10,917
in geometrical forms.
78
00:04:11,082 --> 00:04:13,792
Now the question is simply, why?
79
00:04:15,917 --> 00:04:19,167
Without a doubt one of the most
baffling places on Earth
80
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:20,917
can be found in Peru.
81
00:04:21,125 --> 00:04:23,000
It's a mysterious formation
82
00:04:23,207 --> 00:04:26,292
that stretches for miles
through the rugged desert.
83
00:04:26,457 --> 00:04:29,832
And while its purpose
is completely unknown,
84
00:04:30,042 --> 00:04:31,832
some believe it was used
85
00:04:32,042 --> 00:04:35,207
to communicate
with otherworldly beings.
86
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:39,792
the Band of Holes.
87
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:45,167
Pisco, Peru.
88
00:04:46,167 --> 00:04:50,250
Here, stretching across
the Cajamarquilla Plain,
89
00:04:50,417 --> 00:04:54,417
thousands of ancient holes have
been dug into a mountain range.
90
00:04:55,417 --> 00:04:58,832
The holes measure
six to seven feet in depth
91
00:04:58,917 --> 00:05:03,000
and are evenly spaced
about three feet apart.
92
00:05:04,041 --> 00:05:06,000
They are arranged
in a precise line
93
00:05:06,208 --> 00:05:10,083
that runs north and south
for almost two miles.
94
00:05:11,291 --> 00:05:14,000
In the mountains of Peru we have
95
00:05:14,208 --> 00:05:17,457
what's commonly referred to
as the Band of Holes.
96
00:05:18,625 --> 00:05:20,082
It is one of the coolest places
97
00:05:20,207 --> 00:05:23,250
in relation to the ancient
astronaut theory because
98
00:05:23,417 --> 00:05:26,332
who in their right mind
would go ahead
99
00:05:26,542 --> 00:05:28,417
and dig all these holes?
100
00:05:28,625 --> 00:05:33,042
They're a incredible mystery,
a very long-lived mystery.
101
00:05:33,207 --> 00:05:35,000
Some people think it looks like
102
00:05:35,207 --> 00:05:38,500
some kind of machine was
running over the territory.
103
00:05:38,667 --> 00:05:40,082
Some people think it was
104
00:05:40,207 --> 00:05:43,250
some kind of systematic
mining operation.
105
00:05:43,417 --> 00:05:46,000
Some people say it was
just pot-hunters,
106
00:05:46,207 --> 00:05:48,917
you know, looting,
looking for burials.
107
00:05:49,125 --> 00:05:51,500
None of the explanations
make good sense.
108
00:05:55,332 --> 00:05:59,707
While the Band of Holes
continues to defy explanation,
109
00:05:59,875 --> 00:06:02,166
some ancient astronaut
theorists believe
110
00:06:02,291 --> 00:06:04,208
it might convey
a type of message
111
00:06:04,375 --> 00:06:07,125
left behind
by extraterrestrials.
112
00:06:08,250 --> 00:06:10,958
Some thousands of years
in the past,
113
00:06:11,125 --> 00:06:13,583
the extraterrestrials
who visited our planet
114
00:06:13,750 --> 00:06:15,833
left a proof behind.
115
00:06:15,958 --> 00:06:18,332
They knew that in the far future
116
00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,125
the humans will see
these patterns.
117
00:06:21,332 --> 00:06:24,042
They will realize
that this is high geometry.
118
00:06:24,250 --> 00:06:26,332
And sooner or later
the questions comes up,
119
00:06:26,457 --> 00:06:29,042
have we maybe been visited
by beings from outer space?
120
00:06:30,250 --> 00:06:35,250
Is it some kind of message
for us from the past
121
00:06:35,417 --> 00:06:38,917
that we're to decode when
we have reached a higher state
122
00:06:39,125 --> 00:06:43,542
of civilization and knowledge
that we can figure all this out?
123
00:06:43,750 --> 00:06:47,542
It would seem that we are
only just now reaching a point
124
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:50,082
of knowledge and technology
125
00:06:50,207 --> 00:06:52,875
that we can
understand these codes.
126
00:06:53,042 --> 00:06:57,000
And find the hidden meaning
that's there.
127
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,000
The ancient astronaut
theory suggests
128
00:07:01,166 --> 00:07:05,166
that extraterrestrials who came
to Earth in the distant past
129
00:07:05,375 --> 00:07:08,541
left behind signs
that they were here.
130
00:07:08,708 --> 00:07:13,375
To me, some compelling examples
are massive shapes and figures
131
00:07:13,541 --> 00:07:16,625
that are carved into
the landscape across the globe
132
00:07:16,750 --> 00:07:19,667
and can only be seen
from the sky.
133
00:07:19,875 --> 00:07:21,957
At number eight on our countdown
134
00:07:22,125 --> 00:07:26,582
geoglyphs.
135
00:07:29,750 --> 00:07:31,125
Nazca, Peru.
136
00:07:32,042 --> 00:07:34,125
High in this arid plateau,
137
00:07:34,292 --> 00:07:37,207
there is a series
of precise lines and artworks
138
00:07:37,375 --> 00:07:41,000
carved into the desert floor
that have mystified people
139
00:07:41,207 --> 00:07:44,417
since their modern discovery
in the 1920s.
140
00:07:44,582 --> 00:07:48,167
Curiously, all of them
were made on a scale
141
00:07:48,292 --> 00:07:50,457
to be seen from high above.
142
00:07:51,542 --> 00:07:53,167
They are called geoglyphs.
143
00:07:54,042 --> 00:07:55,667
A geoglyph is just basically
144
00:07:55,832 --> 00:07:57,125
a drawing on the landscape.
145
00:07:57,250 --> 00:07:59,207
Usually quite large scale.
146
00:08:00,208 --> 00:08:02,833
Most geoglyphs are
in deserts and in shapes.
147
00:08:03,041 --> 00:08:06,416
Geometric shapes,
animal shapes or whatever.
148
00:08:06,583 --> 00:08:10,333
Most geoglyphs really
only make sense from above.
149
00:08:12,333 --> 00:08:14,291
For years,
archeologists believed
150
00:08:14,458 --> 00:08:18,082
the Nazca Lines were
an isolated phenomenon.
151
00:08:18,250 --> 00:08:21,500
But now, with the benefit
satellite imagery,
152
00:08:21,707 --> 00:08:24,500
thousands of ancient geoglyphs
are being found
153
00:08:24,667 --> 00:08:27,375
all over the world...
154
00:08:27,542 --> 00:08:29,707
in Kazakhstan,
155
00:08:29,832 --> 00:08:32,792
in the southwestern
United States,
156
00:08:32,957 --> 00:08:35,625
in the Atacama Desert of Chile,
157
00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:36,875
and in Bolivia,
158
00:08:37,082 --> 00:08:38,417
just to name a few.
159
00:08:40,457 --> 00:08:42,058
There are many groups
around the world
160
00:08:42,082 --> 00:08:43,542
that have been
creating geoglyphs
161
00:08:43,707 --> 00:08:45,250
for thousands of years.
162
00:08:45,375 --> 00:08:47,207
And the thing is
that these glyphs can only
163
00:08:47,375 --> 00:08:49,167
be seen from the sky.
164
00:08:49,332 --> 00:08:51,125
That tells us
that these messages
165
00:08:51,207 --> 00:08:52,500
have to be for beings
166
00:08:52,707 --> 00:08:56,125
that are in the sky...
extraterrestrials.
167
00:08:57,207 --> 00:08:58,500
Is it possible
168
00:08:58,667 --> 00:09:01,207
that these ancient geoglyphs
were created
169
00:09:01,417 --> 00:09:03,792
for an extraterrestrial purpose?
170
00:09:04,957 --> 00:09:07,207
Ancient astronaut
theorists say yes,
171
00:09:07,417 --> 00:09:11,167
and suggest further clues
can be found by examining
172
00:09:11,332 --> 00:09:15,457
one of the most extraordinary
geoglyphs ever discovered.
173
00:09:15,625 --> 00:09:17,985
One of the most interesting
geoglyphs that you have at Nazca
174
00:09:18,167 --> 00:09:20,082
is the sun-star-cross geoglyph,
175
00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:24,417
which is really
a very complicated, huge mandala
176
00:09:24,542 --> 00:09:27,582
of interconnected stars
and triangles.
177
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:29,957
And it's something we see
all over the world,
178
00:09:30,125 --> 00:09:33,457
and in Tibet and India
as mandalas.
179
00:09:33,625 --> 00:09:38,332
So things like this that are
so geometrically complicated
180
00:09:38,542 --> 00:09:41,292
and are found
all over the world indicates
181
00:09:41,457 --> 00:09:45,667
that there was some kind
of worldwide symbolic language
182
00:09:45,832 --> 00:09:49,832
that was brought here
by a higher intelligence.
183
00:09:57,582 --> 00:10:00,707
one thing I look for are
structures or shapes
184
00:10:00,875 --> 00:10:02,000
that are repeated
185
00:10:02,207 --> 00:10:04,375
at ancient sites
around the world.
186
00:10:04,542 --> 00:10:08,000
One of the most intriguing
is a mysterious symbol
187
00:10:08,207 --> 00:10:10,667
that just might
unlock the secret
188
00:10:10,875 --> 00:10:13,042
of our extraterrestrial past.
189
00:10:13,207 --> 00:10:17,792
the keyhole shape.
190
00:10:21,375 --> 00:10:23,000
Khaybar, Saudi Arabia,
191
00:10:23,207 --> 00:10:26,332
May 2017.
192
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:30,250
An archaeological team
conducting an aerial survey
193
00:10:30,457 --> 00:10:32,417
of the Saudi Arabian desert
194
00:10:32,582 --> 00:10:35,000
makes
an extraordinary discovery.
195
00:10:35,207 --> 00:10:38,750
They find a series
of 19 stone formations
196
00:10:38,875 --> 00:10:41,125
in the shape of keyholes.
197
00:10:41,332 --> 00:10:43,558
They're thought to be
thousands of years old,
198
00:10:43,582 --> 00:10:45,000
but no one knows who built them,
199
00:10:45,207 --> 00:10:46,707
no one knows
why they were there,
200
00:10:46,875 --> 00:10:52,207
but they have this sacred symbol
of the keyhole as the design.
201
00:10:53,375 --> 00:10:55,000
So the keyhole shape
is a combination
202
00:10:55,167 --> 00:10:58,332
of the triangle and the circle.
203
00:10:58,500 --> 00:11:01,375
And the circle
is often a representation
204
00:11:01,542 --> 00:11:03,917
of the Sun and the Moon
and other heavenly objects,
205
00:11:04,082 --> 00:11:06,707
whereas the triangle shape
is really the pyramid shape,
206
00:11:06,875 --> 00:11:10,167
and that is a representation
of the Earth.
207
00:11:10,332 --> 00:11:13,917
So it really could be
a representation
208
00:11:14,042 --> 00:11:16,167
linking heaven and Earth.
209
00:11:17,332 --> 00:11:18,375
Curiously,
210
00:11:18,542 --> 00:11:20,500
the keyhole symbol can be found
211
00:11:20,667 --> 00:11:23,500
at ancient sites
all over the world.
212
00:11:23,707 --> 00:11:28,207
But perhaps the most impressive
example can be found in Japan,
213
00:11:28,375 --> 00:11:32,457
at a megalithic tomb
called Daisen Kofun.
214
00:11:33,707 --> 00:11:38,250
It rises up 35 feet
above the surrounding area
215
00:11:38,375 --> 00:11:42,167
and is 1,600 feet long
216
00:11:42,292 --> 00:11:44,292
and 980 feet wide,
217
00:11:44,417 --> 00:11:46,667
and it's encircled
by three moats,
218
00:11:46,875 --> 00:11:48,292
making the entire edifice
219
00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:52,667
cover a space
of five million square feet.
220
00:11:53,832 --> 00:11:55,250
The Daisen Kofun
221
00:11:55,417 --> 00:11:59,167
is merely the largest
of more than 160,000 kofuns
222
00:11:59,375 --> 00:12:01,667
that dot Japan.
223
00:12:01,792 --> 00:12:03,625
There are hundreds
of these tombs,
224
00:12:03,792 --> 00:12:07,667
built between around 300 AD
to around 600 AD.
225
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:09,375
So what were these?
226
00:12:09,542 --> 00:12:12,667
Were these really just tombs
built for emperors and kings,
227
00:12:12,832 --> 00:12:14,832
or were they something else
altogether?
228
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
The keyhole shape
229
00:12:17,167 --> 00:12:19,500
can only be seen from the air.
230
00:12:19,667 --> 00:12:22,375
And we're told that the ancient
Japanese did not have a means
231
00:12:22,542 --> 00:12:25,832
of getting into the sky
to appreciate this shape.
232
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000
So there's a great mystery here
about why the keyhole shape?
233
00:12:30,167 --> 00:12:32,792
Some researchers suggest
234
00:12:32,875 --> 00:12:35,707
that the keyhole shape
is an alien code
235
00:12:35,875 --> 00:12:39,667
and can be traced back
to the first kofun ever built.
236
00:12:40,707 --> 00:12:42,792
The first of these tombs
is associated
237
00:12:42,917 --> 00:12:46,500
with the first historical
Japanese emperor,
238
00:12:46,707 --> 00:12:48,500
Emperor Sujin,
239
00:12:48,707 --> 00:12:52,707
in whose record in the book of
ancient mythology, the Kojiki,
240
00:12:52,875 --> 00:12:57,625
a keyhole of a door actually
also plays an important part.
241
00:12:57,792 --> 00:13:00,625
According to the story
in the Kojiki,
242
00:13:00,792 --> 00:13:04,707
a young woman becomes
impregnated by a powerful god
243
00:13:04,875 --> 00:13:07,167
who comes to her room
through a keyhole,
244
00:13:07,332 --> 00:13:11,500
then gives birth
to semidivine children.
245
00:13:11,707 --> 00:13:17,500
So, you've got to wonder
if these keyhole-shaped kofun
246
00:13:17,667 --> 00:13:19,386
aren't something
that were actually designed
247
00:13:19,542 --> 00:13:22,000
by extraterrestrials.
248
00:13:22,167 --> 00:13:24,332
There's something
about that shape.
249
00:13:24,500 --> 00:13:25,707
It has meaning.
250
00:13:25,875 --> 00:13:29,250
Are these sites
signaling somebody
251
00:13:29,417 --> 00:13:31,625
who is apparently in the sky?
252
00:13:33,875 --> 00:13:37,167
I find it fascinating
that, across the globe,
253
00:13:37,292 --> 00:13:40,000
megalithic structures
are covered
254
00:13:40,125 --> 00:13:42,500
with mysterious lines
and swirls.
255
00:13:42,625 --> 00:13:44,957
Are these merely decoration?
256
00:13:45,125 --> 00:13:47,500
Or do they have
a deeper meaning?
257
00:13:47,707 --> 00:13:52,457
the spiral code.
258
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:58,250
County Meath, Ireland.
259
00:13:58,417 --> 00:14:02,250
Here stands Ireland's
most famous megalithic site:
260
00:14:02,457 --> 00:14:03,875
Newgrange.
261
00:14:05,207 --> 00:14:06,667
The ancient tomb was built
262
00:14:06,792 --> 00:14:09,957
with over 200,000 tons
of stone blocks,
263
00:14:10,167 --> 00:14:14,542
many of which are covered
in intricate spiral patterns.
264
00:14:14,707 --> 00:14:16,427
Newgrange is one
of the most important sites
265
00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:17,832
in all of Europe.
266
00:14:18,042 --> 00:14:20,417
Within this,
we have beautiful carvings
267
00:14:20,542 --> 00:14:24,000
on the 97 curbstones
that go around the edge,
268
00:14:24,167 --> 00:14:26,500
as well as on
the main entrance stone
269
00:14:26,667 --> 00:14:29,292
and within the chamber itself.
270
00:14:29,375 --> 00:14:33,000
Mainly spirals, and most
notably, a triple spiral
271
00:14:33,125 --> 00:14:38,167
at the back of the main chamber
within the actual site itself.
272
00:14:38,332 --> 00:14:40,332
Identical spiral patterns
273
00:14:40,500 --> 00:14:45,375
have been found at ancient sites
across the globe.
274
00:14:45,542 --> 00:14:49,332
We see certain symbols
recurring again and again.
275
00:14:49,542 --> 00:14:55,500
These take the form of spirals,
of concentric rings,
276
00:14:55,582 --> 00:14:58,457
and they're something
that are virtually universal
277
00:14:58,625 --> 00:14:59,917
around the world.
278
00:15:00,042 --> 00:15:02,542
Many archaeologists believe
279
00:15:02,707 --> 00:15:06,332
spiral petroglyphs
symbolize the cosmos.
280
00:15:06,500 --> 00:15:08,375
But ancient astronaut
theorists believe
281
00:15:08,542 --> 00:15:12,000
they serve
a more profound purpose.
282
00:15:12,167 --> 00:15:15,332
And as evidence,
they point to spiral carvings
283
00:15:15,500 --> 00:15:18,167
at a 5,000-year-old
archaeological site
284
00:15:18,332 --> 00:15:21,332
off the coast of France.
285
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,957
On the island of Gavrinis,
286
00:15:24,042 --> 00:15:26,582
there is a passage tomb.
287
00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:31,707
And inside, there are
giant stones left and right
288
00:15:31,875 --> 00:15:35,375
with carvings
that look like fingerprints
289
00:15:35,542 --> 00:15:39,542
that have been carved
onto the megalithic slabs.
290
00:15:39,707 --> 00:15:41,187
When people came to Gavrinis,
291
00:15:41,292 --> 00:15:42,532
they began to make measurements
292
00:15:42,625 --> 00:15:44,375
as to how these stones
were placed.
293
00:15:44,542 --> 00:15:46,167
They began to realize
that these stones
294
00:15:46,375 --> 00:15:48,207
weren't just placed haphazardly
295
00:15:48,375 --> 00:15:51,250
in some kind of
coincidental form,
296
00:15:51,375 --> 00:15:53,082
but actually displayed
297
00:15:53,207 --> 00:15:56,000
extraordinary understanding
and knowledge of mathematics.
298
00:15:59,542 --> 00:16:01,875
Mathematicians
examining the spirals
299
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,250
speculated that
their varying lengths
300
00:16:04,417 --> 00:16:07,375
could indicate
that they represent numbers.
301
00:16:07,542 --> 00:16:09,832
Based on this assumption,
302
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,667
they determined which numbers
each carving might represent,
303
00:16:13,832 --> 00:16:17,417
and discovered a record
of specific information,
304
00:16:17,542 --> 00:16:20,707
like the number of days
in a year.
305
00:16:20,875 --> 00:16:23,667
But astonishingly,
these stone records
306
00:16:23,832 --> 00:16:28,000
include something
even more incredible.
307
00:16:28,207 --> 00:16:30,332
When mathematicians
went in there
308
00:16:30,417 --> 00:16:33,292
to look at this in the 1970s,
309
00:16:33,417 --> 00:16:36,417
they determined
it showed the longitude
310
00:16:36,625 --> 00:16:41,042
and latitude of Gavrinis.
311
00:16:41,207 --> 00:16:44,667
How would they know about
longitude and latitude?
312
00:16:44,832 --> 00:16:47,250
We came up with this
in modern times.
313
00:16:47,417 --> 00:16:50,707
How do we have
that mathematical message
314
00:16:50,875 --> 00:16:55,832
in a archaeological site
that's at least 5,000 years old?
315
00:16:56,042 --> 00:16:58,917
In my opinion,
the extraterrestrials
316
00:16:59,125 --> 00:17:02,000
wanted to leave behind
some type of a message,
317
00:17:02,167 --> 00:17:06,458
a type of secret code
that needed to be deciphered
318
00:17:06,583 --> 00:17:09,333
by a future generation
that would understand,
319
00:17:09,416 --> 00:17:12,916
and that generation is us.
320
00:17:17,958 --> 00:17:21,041
We're comi,
321
00:17:21,208 --> 00:17:24,625
and the next entry on our list
needs no introduction.
322
00:17:24,791 --> 00:17:26,666
They are monumental structures
323
00:17:26,875 --> 00:17:29,333
that can be found
on every continent,
324
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,333
and they were built
with such precision
325
00:17:31,500 --> 00:17:34,958
that, from the perspective of
an ancient astronaut theorist,
326
00:17:35,083 --> 00:17:38,041
many could be of
extraterrestrial design.
327
00:17:38,208 --> 00:17:40,708
Number five on our list
328
00:17:40,875 --> 00:17:45,666
pyramids.
329
00:17:47,958 --> 00:17:50,000
In every region of the world
330
00:17:50,208 --> 00:17:52,958
stand ancient monuments
that have been built
331
00:17:53,083 --> 00:17:58,208
in a sophisticated geometric
form known as pyramids.
332
00:17:58,375 --> 00:18:02,083
These structures are separated
by thousands of miles,
333
00:18:02,208 --> 00:18:05,250
but they are strikingly similar
in design.
334
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:07,916
There is a kind of
a master blueprint
335
00:18:08,041 --> 00:18:09,833
that we see in the architecture,
336
00:18:09,958 --> 00:18:13,458
and it's not in just one or two
or three civilizations,
337
00:18:13,625 --> 00:18:15,875
it's in all the civilizations.
338
00:18:16,041 --> 00:18:17,958
China,
339
00:18:18,125 --> 00:18:19,416
India,
340
00:18:19,583 --> 00:18:22,000
South America... it's there.
341
00:18:22,166 --> 00:18:24,791
According to
the local mythologies
342
00:18:24,958 --> 00:18:28,041
of numerous
pyramid-building cultures,
343
00:18:28,208 --> 00:18:31,166
the inspiration to build
these complex structures
344
00:18:31,375 --> 00:18:33,416
came from
an otherworldly source.
345
00:18:33,541 --> 00:18:35,583
In Mesoamerica,
346
00:18:35,750 --> 00:18:37,500
we have the gods associated
347
00:18:37,666 --> 00:18:39,708
with the construction
of the pyramids.
348
00:18:39,916 --> 00:18:43,208
This reflects
the same kind of entity
349
00:18:43,375 --> 00:18:45,125
that the Mesopotamians reported,
350
00:18:45,291 --> 00:18:47,958
that the Egyptians reported
351
00:18:48,083 --> 00:18:51,833
as being the architect
that designed these structures.
352
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,041
Who were the teachers
of these engineering styles?
353
00:18:56,208 --> 00:19:01,583
The only conclusion there is
is that aliens had a hand
354
00:19:01,708 --> 00:19:05,125
in these creations
a long time ago.
355
00:19:05,291 --> 00:19:08,291
They're all human-made,
but with the assistance
356
00:19:08,458 --> 00:19:12,375
or the technology
provided by extraterrestrials.
357
00:19:12,500 --> 00:19:16,333
If otherworldly beings
inspired our ancestors
358
00:19:16,416 --> 00:19:17,750
to build pyramids,
359
00:19:17,958 --> 00:19:20,708
as ancient astronaut theorists
contend,
360
00:19:20,875 --> 00:19:23,125
what was their purpose?
361
00:19:23,291 --> 00:19:24,958
Perhaps clues can be found
362
00:19:25,125 --> 00:19:27,375
in the most famous
of these structures:
363
00:19:27,541 --> 00:19:30,875
the Great Pyramid of Egypt.
364
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:32,666
Ever since the first studies
365
00:19:32,833 --> 00:19:35,625
of the Great Pyramid in Egypt
have been made,
366
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:38,291
researchers have been amazed
367
00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:40,458
at the mathematical knowledge
368
00:19:40,625 --> 00:19:43,791
that is encoded
into the Great Pyramid.
369
00:19:45,875 --> 00:19:48,125
The Great Pyramid is aligned
370
00:19:48,291 --> 00:19:51,333
to within three sixtieths
of a degree of north,
371
00:19:51,458 --> 00:19:53,375
a more accurate alignment
372
00:19:53,541 --> 00:19:55,625
than any other structure
on Earth.
373
00:19:55,791 --> 00:19:58,166
And researchers have discovered
374
00:19:58,291 --> 00:20:03,083
even more profound information
encoded within its design.
375
00:20:03,208 --> 00:20:05,500
We've discovered,
376
00:20:05,666 --> 00:20:09,083
with satellite imagery,
that the pyramid,
377
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:12,041
if you take its peak
and measure it precisely
378
00:20:12,208 --> 00:20:15,833
its location in degrees
on the planet Earth,
379
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,791
the number is equal
to the number
380
00:20:19,958 --> 00:20:23,500
that is the speed of light,
out to many, many digits.
381
00:20:23,708 --> 00:20:27,333
How in the world
would an ancient culture
382
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,875
build something so precisely
383
00:20:30,041 --> 00:20:31,602
that we couldn't even
measure until now,
384
00:20:31,708 --> 00:20:33,000
when we had spacecraft?
385
00:20:33,208 --> 00:20:37,583
And, if the people
who built the pyramids
386
00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:41,291
put just in its location
the speed of light,
387
00:20:41,416 --> 00:20:45,750
what else is in the design
and placement of the pyramid?
388
00:20:47,833 --> 00:20:51,041
A key tenet
in the ancient astronaut theory
389
00:20:51,208 --> 00:20:55,916
is that extraterrestrials shared
knowledge with our ancestors.
390
00:20:56,041 --> 00:20:58,333
Compelling evidence of this
can be found
391
00:20:58,541 --> 00:21:00,708
in an ancient Chinese text
392
00:21:00,875 --> 00:21:03,916
that describes
an extraterrestrial language,
393
00:21:04,083 --> 00:21:07,250
one that is actually
still used to this day.
394
00:21:07,375 --> 00:21:12,208
binary code.
395
00:21:15,416 --> 00:21:18,500
Today, the most prolific
language in the world
396
00:21:18,666 --> 00:21:21,416
consists of just two characters:
397
00:21:21,541 --> 00:21:24,000
zero and one.
398
00:21:24,125 --> 00:21:26,083
It's a language
that is understood
399
00:21:26,250 --> 00:21:30,625
in every culture across
the globe: binary code.
400
00:21:30,833 --> 00:21:32,833
People know that
the digital revolution
401
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,416
is based on zeros and ones,
zeros and ones.
402
00:21:35,625 --> 00:21:38,583
Computer tape consists of one,
one, one, zero, zero, zero.
403
00:21:38,708 --> 00:21:40,125
That's called "binary."
404
00:21:41,208 --> 00:21:43,166
Computers use zeroes and ones
405
00:21:43,333 --> 00:21:46,250
because zeroes and ones
correspond to "off" and "on,"
406
00:21:46,416 --> 00:21:49,541
which is the circuitry
of a computer.
407
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,125
A German mathematician,
Gottfried Leibniz,
408
00:21:55,291 --> 00:22:00,125
is credited with defining
binary code in the 17th century.
409
00:22:00,250 --> 00:22:02,833
He designed
a mechanical calculator
410
00:22:03,041 --> 00:22:06,041
that expressed numbers
as zeroes and ones.
411
00:22:06,208 --> 00:22:10,708
In turn, Leibniz
credited his inspiration
412
00:22:10,916 --> 00:22:14,208
to the 5,000-year-old
Chinese text I Ching,
413
00:22:14,375 --> 00:22:16,333
an ancient oracle code
414
00:22:16,541 --> 00:22:20,375
used to communicate
with otherworldly beings.
415
00:22:20,583 --> 00:22:24,541
The I Ching is basically
composed of 64 hexagrams,
416
00:22:24,708 --> 00:22:26,958
which are combinations of
417
00:22:27,125 --> 00:22:29,458
broken and unbroken lines,
418
00:22:29,625 --> 00:22:31,500
binary combinations.
419
00:22:31,666 --> 00:22:33,958
It was heavily used
in divination.
420
00:22:34,125 --> 00:22:36,083
You can use it
and people still do,
421
00:22:36,291 --> 00:22:39,500
very easily, you can flip
a coin, for example, six times,
422
00:22:39,708 --> 00:22:44,000
and every time that it lands
on heads, you draw a full line.
423
00:22:44,166 --> 00:22:45,500
Every time
that it lands on tails,
424
00:22:45,708 --> 00:22:47,166
you draw a broken line.
425
00:22:47,333 --> 00:22:48,791
And then when you
have six of these,
426
00:22:48,958 --> 00:22:51,500
you come up with your hexagram.
427
00:22:51,666 --> 00:22:55,791
And each of these hexagrams
has a kind of cosmic symbolism,
428
00:22:55,958 --> 00:22:59,041
And then there's a kind of
oracular inscription
429
00:22:59,208 --> 00:23:00,708
that you're supposed
to decipher.
430
00:23:00,875 --> 00:23:02,958
According to mythology,
431
00:23:03,083 --> 00:23:06,333
the I Ching was created
by Emperor Fuxi
432
00:23:06,500 --> 00:23:10,000
after he was visited
by an otherworldly being.
433
00:23:10,208 --> 00:23:13,625
It was said that one day
he was on the Yellow River
434
00:23:13,791 --> 00:23:17,000
and a water dragon
appeared to him,
435
00:23:17,208 --> 00:23:20,541
and that on the back
of this water dragon
436
00:23:20,708 --> 00:23:22,791
was revealed to him
the I Ching.
437
00:23:22,958 --> 00:23:27,041
And therefore we can see
this system as in some way
438
00:23:27,208 --> 00:23:30,666
having come
from the stars, originally.
439
00:23:32,041 --> 00:23:36,833
Could the I Ching have been
an attempt by extraterrestrials
440
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,666
to set up a common
communication language
441
00:23:39,833 --> 00:23:42,666
with mankind using binary code?
442
00:23:42,791 --> 00:23:46,833
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest evidence can be found
443
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,125
by examining
a famous UFO encounter
444
00:23:50,291 --> 00:23:52,375
that occurred
in Suffolk County, England.
445
00:23:52,541 --> 00:23:55,833
On December 26, 1980,
446
00:23:56,041 --> 00:23:59,958
Sargeant James Penniston
and Airman John Burroughs
447
00:24:00,166 --> 00:24:02,208
were performing
a routine security check
448
00:24:02,375 --> 00:24:06,416
at a U.S. air force base
in Rendlesham Forest
449
00:24:06,541 --> 00:24:10,291
when they reportedly encountered
a large extraterrestrial craft.
450
00:24:12,083 --> 00:24:14,250
The craft was
triangular in shape,
451
00:24:14,375 --> 00:24:16,875
measuring about six
to seven feet high,
452
00:24:17,041 --> 00:24:18,833
black in color.
453
00:24:19,041 --> 00:24:21,083
I'd come around to the far side
of the craft
454
00:24:21,208 --> 00:24:22,807
and that's when I noticed
that there was,
455
00:24:22,916 --> 00:24:24,183
you know, inscription
on the side.
456
00:24:24,208 --> 00:24:26,958
Instead of something familiar,
457
00:24:27,041 --> 00:24:29,333
I see these
pictorial-type glyphs.
458
00:24:29,541 --> 00:24:32,333
And got running my hand over
the side of the craft.
459
00:24:32,458 --> 00:24:34,958
I don't know how
to explain this.
460
00:24:35,125 --> 00:24:37,166
It's like someone
was holding a picture up, okay?
461
00:24:37,333 --> 00:24:39,625
I could see it in my mind's eye.
462
00:24:41,125 --> 00:24:44,125
Zeroes and ones.
463
00:24:44,291 --> 00:24:47,250
So I recorded those.
One after another.
464
00:24:49,208 --> 00:24:50,750
Years later,
465
00:24:50,958 --> 00:24:52,916
a computer programmer
466
00:24:53,041 --> 00:24:55,083
took this information
467
00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:57,916
ran it through
a translation program
468
00:24:58,041 --> 00:25:00,625
and a message emerged.
469
00:25:00,833 --> 00:25:02,791
The message read
470
00:25:02,958 --> 00:25:06,083
"Exploration of humanity
471
00:25:06,208 --> 00:25:10,000
continuous
for planetary advance."
472
00:25:10,125 --> 00:25:13,875
Jim Penninston came up
with all this information
473
00:25:14,041 --> 00:25:16,291
without knowing a thing
in real life
474
00:25:16,458 --> 00:25:20,333
about binary code
and binary messages.
475
00:25:20,541 --> 00:25:23,458
Is it possible
that extraterrestrials
476
00:25:23,625 --> 00:25:26,750
are using binary code
as a common language
477
00:25:26,916 --> 00:25:29,541
to communicate with mankind?
478
00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:31,583
Who's to say that
extraterrestrials
479
00:25:31,708 --> 00:25:35,916
wouldn't choose to communicate
via ones and zeros?
480
00:25:36,083 --> 00:25:39,166
With ones and zeros,
you've got binary code.
481
00:25:39,291 --> 00:25:42,083
With binary code,
you can write a message.
482
00:25:42,208 --> 00:25:46,166
And perhaps that is
the language of the cosmos.
483
00:25:46,375 --> 00:25:49,166
And that's how
to communicate with them.
484
00:25:53,583 --> 00:25:57,333
One ofa.
485
00:25:57,458 --> 00:26:00,416
Its mythology is chock full
of stories
486
00:26:00,541 --> 00:26:03,416
of powerful gods
who came from the sky
487
00:26:03,541 --> 00:26:06,333
and possessed
astonishing technology,
488
00:26:06,541 --> 00:26:09,291
like flying craft
called vimanas.
489
00:26:09,458 --> 00:26:11,333
And there is evidence
that the secret
490
00:26:11,541 --> 00:26:14,083
to this technology
has been encoded
491
00:26:14,250 --> 00:26:16,666
within complex geometric symbols
492
00:26:16,875 --> 00:26:20,166
that are said to have
been designed by the gods.
493
00:26:20,375 --> 00:26:22,833
Number three on our countdown
494
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,208
mandalas.
495
00:26:31,583 --> 00:26:33,791
More than 5,000 years ago,
496
00:26:33,958 --> 00:26:37,291
the Indus Valley
civilization emerged
497
00:26:37,500 --> 00:26:41,291
in the Punjab region of
modern-day India and Pakistan.
498
00:26:41,458 --> 00:26:44,750
Its people produced
the foundational texts
499
00:26:44,916 --> 00:26:47,375
for Hinduism,
which is widely regarded
500
00:26:47,541 --> 00:26:49,666
as the world's oldest religion
501
00:26:49,791 --> 00:26:53,375
and today has more
than one billion followers.
502
00:26:53,500 --> 00:26:56,625
The earliest of these texts,
called the Vedas,
503
00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:59,958
describe how the gods
provided humankind
504
00:27:00,125 --> 00:27:03,333
with a visual guide
to sacred sounds.
505
00:27:03,458 --> 00:27:05,916
They are represented
in elaborate patterns
506
00:27:06,083 --> 00:27:08,333
called mandalas.
507
00:27:09,791 --> 00:27:14,000
The Vedas tell us that the gods
taught humans how to chant.
508
00:27:14,166 --> 00:27:16,125
How to pray and to sing
509
00:27:16,291 --> 00:27:18,625
in order to communicate
with the gods.
510
00:27:18,791 --> 00:27:22,666
Mandalas are mnemonic devices
511
00:27:22,833 --> 00:27:25,166
used to aid meditation
512
00:27:25,375 --> 00:27:28,791
often in tandem with chanting.
513
00:27:28,958 --> 00:27:33,750
So, what they're doing is
they're essentially translating
514
00:27:33,916 --> 00:27:37,666
sound into visual patterns.
515
00:27:39,541 --> 00:27:43,166
Mandalas are
important components
516
00:27:43,333 --> 00:27:45,833
in both Hindu
and Buddhist faiths.
517
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,041
For ancient astronaut theorists,
518
00:27:48,208 --> 00:27:50,500
what is most intriguing
about mandalas
519
00:27:50,708 --> 00:27:53,333
is that the visual
patterns do, in fact,
520
00:27:53,541 --> 00:27:55,416
have a scientific connection
521
00:27:55,625 --> 00:27:59,000
to the sacred sounds
they are said to represent.
522
00:27:59,125 --> 00:28:01,416
This was discovered
523
00:28:01,541 --> 00:28:04,000
thanks to an 18th century
German physicist
524
00:28:04,125 --> 00:28:05,625
named Ernst Chladni,
525
00:28:05,750 --> 00:28:09,791
who is known
as the father of acoustics.
526
00:28:09,958 --> 00:28:12,583
In 1787, Chaldni's book,
527
00:28:12,708 --> 00:28:14,708
Discoveries in the Theory
of Sound,
528
00:28:14,916 --> 00:28:18,166
revealed that the application
of sound vibrations
529
00:28:18,291 --> 00:28:20,833
to grains of sand
on a metal plate
530
00:28:21,041 --> 00:28:23,333
creates complex
geometric shapes,
531
00:28:23,541 --> 00:28:27,791
now known as cymatic patterns.
532
00:28:27,958 --> 00:28:30,833
We've got this thin metal plate
like a sounding board
533
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,333
and we've got a transducer
attached to the bottom of it.
534
00:28:34,500 --> 00:28:38,916
And they spread sand
over the top of this plate.
535
00:28:39,041 --> 00:28:41,833
And start playing certain tones.
536
00:28:42,041 --> 00:28:44,333
And those sand particles
will start to bounce around
537
00:28:44,541 --> 00:28:46,666
and dance around
and they start to form
538
00:28:46,833 --> 00:28:49,666
these mathematical
circular patterns.
539
00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:52,375
And as we move up
through these frequencies,
540
00:28:52,541 --> 00:28:56,666
the sand goes into kind of
a chaos in-between state
541
00:28:56,875 --> 00:28:59,375
and then it arrives
at this next pattern.
542
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:02,375
And the higher
the frequency you go,
543
00:29:02,541 --> 00:29:05,875
the more these patterns
become more complex.
544
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:12,166
For Hindus and Buddhists,
545
00:29:12,333 --> 00:29:15,500
the most important
sacred sound is "om."
546
00:29:15,708 --> 00:29:19,333
For centuries, this sound
has been depicted in mandalas
547
00:29:19,541 --> 00:29:22,208
by a circle with a dot
in the middle.
548
00:29:22,375 --> 00:29:27,666
Incredibly, the sound "om"
produces a cymatic pattern
549
00:29:27,791 --> 00:29:30,375
that perfectly matches
this depiction.
550
00:29:31,666 --> 00:29:34,083
Other sounds
also create patterns
551
00:29:34,291 --> 00:29:36,791
that are found
in ancient mandalas.
552
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,541
Is it conceivable
553
00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:43,458
that the writers
of the ancient Vedic texts
554
00:29:43,583 --> 00:29:48,291
were given advanced knowledge
on how sound frequencies
555
00:29:48,458 --> 00:29:51,958
can be converted
into visual patterns?
556
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:54,833
Is it therefore possible
557
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,875
that sound is an important means
558
00:29:58,041 --> 00:30:01,541
of communication with
such higher intelligences?
559
00:30:03,708 --> 00:30:06,625
Could mandalas contain
an otherworldly message
560
00:30:06,791 --> 00:30:10,333
for humanity that is based
on sacred sounds?
561
00:30:10,541 --> 00:30:13,125
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes
562
00:30:13,333 --> 00:30:15,583
and suggest
evidence can be found
563
00:30:15,708 --> 00:30:19,583
at the Sri Ranganathaswamy
Temple in Southern India.
564
00:30:20,625 --> 00:30:22,708
Standing in
the temple's courtyard
565
00:30:22,916 --> 00:30:26,708
are 40 ornate statues
that depict vimanas,
566
00:30:26,916 --> 00:30:29,791
vehicles that,
according to Sanskrit texts,
567
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,750
were navigated by the gods.
568
00:30:32,916 --> 00:30:37,416
The word "vimana"
in ancient Vedic text
569
00:30:37,625 --> 00:30:39,791
means "flying machines."
570
00:30:39,958 --> 00:30:43,041
In Hinduism,
it is clearly established
571
00:30:43,208 --> 00:30:48,208
that the gods come down
from the sky using vimanas.
572
00:30:48,416 --> 00:30:51,333
And in the temple of Srirangam,
573
00:30:51,458 --> 00:30:56,333
these carvings show many
different types of vimanas.
574
00:30:56,458 --> 00:31:00,500
And what's really unique
is that under these vimanas,
575
00:31:00,708 --> 00:31:04,000
we are able to see
some very interesting
576
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:07,166
patterns of mandala.
577
00:31:07,333 --> 00:31:10,666
According to legend,
each type of vimana
578
00:31:10,875 --> 00:31:15,750
can be activated
with a specific type of mandala.
579
00:31:16,708 --> 00:31:20,625
I believe that much
of ancient technology
580
00:31:20,791 --> 00:31:24,875
was activated
with specific types
581
00:31:25,041 --> 00:31:26,458
of frequencies.
582
00:31:26,583 --> 00:31:29,750
And if we crack
this visual code,
583
00:31:29,875 --> 00:31:32,375
if we crack
this cymatic pattern,
584
00:31:32,541 --> 00:31:34,750
we might actually unlock
585
00:31:34,875 --> 00:31:38,041
the secret
to power these vimanas.
586
00:31:42,833 --> 00:31:47,125
Ancient Aliens,
587
00:31:47,291 --> 00:31:50,583
some of the most mysterious
are massive impressions
588
00:31:50,750 --> 00:31:54,708
that randomly appear
in fields all over the world.
589
00:31:54,916 --> 00:31:56,583
And what's most interesting
to me
590
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:59,208
is that these complex patterns
591
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:02,916
may be encoded
with otherworldly messages.
592
00:32:04,541 --> 00:32:07,958
crop circles.
593
00:32:17,958 --> 00:32:20,791
A mysterious geometric pattern
594
00:32:20,958 --> 00:32:23,916
emerges in a field
of mustard plants.
595
00:32:24,125 --> 00:32:27,500
The perfectly symmetrical
design is a phenomenon
596
00:32:27,666 --> 00:32:30,458
known as a crop circle.
597
00:32:30,583 --> 00:32:34,333
Crop circles are basically
598
00:32:34,458 --> 00:32:36,250
features, designs,
599
00:32:36,416 --> 00:32:40,125
illustrations
of high complexity in crops.
600
00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:44,708
They tend to be complicated
designs of unknown origin.
601
00:32:46,083 --> 00:32:48,833
Crop circles
range from small discs
602
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,000
to elaborate pictograms
hundreds of feet across.
603
00:32:53,083 --> 00:32:55,375
They have been found
in various crops,
604
00:32:55,583 --> 00:32:58,791
including wheat, barley,
oilseed rape,
605
00:32:58,958 --> 00:33:00,750
and corn.
606
00:33:00,916 --> 00:33:03,208
In terms
of the patterns themselves,
607
00:33:03,416 --> 00:33:05,375
they've been
undergoing this amazing
608
00:33:05,541 --> 00:33:07,416
sort of ramp up
in sophistication.
609
00:33:07,541 --> 00:33:10,291
You can find these huge,
610
00:33:10,458 --> 00:33:12,750
what they call pictographs,
that span
611
00:33:12,875 --> 00:33:15,375
hundreds of feet
across a whole field,
612
00:33:15,541 --> 00:33:18,500
and feature multiple components.
613
00:33:18,666 --> 00:33:21,583
And they're arranged
with mathematical precision.
614
00:33:22,583 --> 00:33:26,083
Crop circles appear
in more than 50 countries.
615
00:33:27,125 --> 00:33:30,166
And there literally
have been thousands of them.
616
00:33:30,333 --> 00:33:33,875
Maybe over 10,000 crop circles
617
00:33:34,041 --> 00:33:37,625
that we're aware of
in the modern era.
618
00:33:39,083 --> 00:33:41,500
One of the first in 1966,
619
00:33:41,708 --> 00:33:43,958
it was Tully, Queensland,
Australia.
620
00:33:44,125 --> 00:33:49,125
A farmer heard a buzzing sound
and literally saw
621
00:33:49,291 --> 00:33:54,166
this big round, maybe
30-feet-diameter craft, disk,
622
00:33:54,333 --> 00:33:56,125
rising up
out of what essentially
623
00:33:56,291 --> 00:33:58,583
was marshy, reedy ground.
624
00:33:58,750 --> 00:34:01,291
And it goes up and disappears,
625
00:34:01,416 --> 00:34:04,458
and left behind the circle.
626
00:34:04,583 --> 00:34:07,083
He finds a circular
area where the grass
627
00:34:07,208 --> 00:34:10,833
in the swamp
or the reeds are matted down.
628
00:34:10,958 --> 00:34:13,291
This is reported
in the Australian press,
629
00:34:13,458 --> 00:34:15,583
and they start labeling
these "UFO nests,"
630
00:34:15,708 --> 00:34:18,833
or "flying saucer nests."
631
00:34:18,958 --> 00:34:23,041
Something keeps
laying things down in sequence
632
00:34:23,208 --> 00:34:27,708
as if it has a big picture
of how it is communicating
633
00:34:27,875 --> 00:34:32,166
with this planet,
but it is doing so in pieces.
634
00:34:32,375 --> 00:34:36,333
What in the world is making
these patterns and why?
635
00:34:38,250 --> 00:34:41,541
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest that the answer may be
636
00:34:41,708 --> 00:34:44,833
encoded within
the crop circles themselves
637
00:34:45,041 --> 00:34:49,500
and might have critical
implications for mankind.
638
00:34:49,666 --> 00:34:53,000
As evidence, they point
to an elaborate formation
639
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:56,125
that appeared
in Wroughton, England in 2008.
640
00:34:57,750 --> 00:34:59,875
One formation had
everyone baffled
641
00:35:00,041 --> 00:35:02,000
and people were saying,
"Well, what is this?"
642
00:35:03,083 --> 00:35:05,250
Then a mathematician had
a look at it and said,
643
00:35:05,416 --> 00:35:08,625
"Wait a minute,
that's a representation of pi,
644
00:35:08,750 --> 00:35:11,833
and it's correct
down to ten decimal places."
645
00:35:12,875 --> 00:35:15,833
It's a representation
of pi in a geometric sense.
646
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
It's kind of interesting
because the way you get pi
647
00:35:19,166 --> 00:35:23,000
out of it is the lengths of the
different arcs in each segment.
648
00:35:24,041 --> 00:35:26,000
And what happens is
there's these little notches
649
00:35:26,208 --> 00:35:29,291
in the spiral that let you know
you're at the end of an arc
650
00:35:29,458 --> 00:35:32,916
so you actually have to measure
the arc lengths as you go around
651
00:35:33,041 --> 00:35:35,333
and their lengths
give you the digits of pi.
652
00:35:35,500 --> 00:35:37,958
And there's a little circle
to give you the decimal point.
653
00:35:38,083 --> 00:35:40,541
So it's a really
interesting example of using
654
00:35:40,708 --> 00:35:44,125
geometry as a code for
representing digits and numbers.
655
00:35:45,708 --> 00:35:49,000
Many of the most famous
crop circles
656
00:35:49,166 --> 00:35:51,833
actually derive
from fractal patterns.
657
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,416
which is a mathematical shape.
658
00:35:56,500 --> 00:35:58,666
The Mandelbrot set.
659
00:36:00,375 --> 00:36:02,625
The Julia set.
660
00:36:02,791 --> 00:36:07,250
To make these you have
to have knowledge of math.
661
00:36:07,416 --> 00:36:11,208
Mathematics is of course
the universal language.
662
00:36:12,583 --> 00:36:15,083
Could crop circles,
as some believe,
663
00:36:15,250 --> 00:36:17,958
be an attempt from
an alien civilization
664
00:36:18,083 --> 00:36:20,916
to reach out
and communicate with us?
665
00:36:23,541 --> 00:36:27,083
There is only one alien code
left on our countdown.
666
00:36:27,208 --> 00:36:29,708
And we've definitely saved
the best for last,
667
00:36:29,875 --> 00:36:31,833
because this code is one
668
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,833
that we're all carrying with us.
669
00:36:39,625 --> 00:36:42,833
So far on our countdown
of the top alien codes,
670
00:36:42,958 --> 00:36:46,375
we've investigated
extraordinary sites
671
00:36:46,541 --> 00:36:49,125
and analyzed mysterious symbols.
672
00:36:49,291 --> 00:36:52,583
But as far as I'm concerned,
the most compelling discovery
673
00:36:52,750 --> 00:36:55,958
won't be found
in an ancient structure
674
00:36:56,125 --> 00:36:59,708
but in a message
hidden inside the human body.
675
00:37:01,166 --> 00:37:04,833
the genetic code
676
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,416
Silves, Portugal. 1984.
677
00:37:12,541 --> 00:37:16,500
Farmers digging a well
come across a mysterious object
678
00:37:16,625 --> 00:37:18,958
15 feet beneath the earth.
679
00:37:19,125 --> 00:37:22,416
A six-foot-long
carved limestone egg.
680
00:37:23,458 --> 00:37:26,333
Known as the Algarve egg,
it has been dated
681
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:28,875
to at least 3500 BC.
682
00:37:29,083 --> 00:37:32,958
And scientists conclude
it could be even older.
683
00:37:33,125 --> 00:37:36,916
But what interests ancient
astronaut theorists the most
684
00:37:37,083 --> 00:37:40,083
is a mysterious pattern
etched on its surface.
685
00:37:42,166 --> 00:37:45,000
When we look at the Algarve egg,
it had a symbol on it
686
00:37:45,125 --> 00:37:48,125
that looked like
intertwined serpents.
687
00:37:48,291 --> 00:37:52,916
Or they can also be
interpreted as DNA strands.
688
00:37:53,083 --> 00:37:57,166
And the idea of
the double helix wasn't invented
689
00:37:57,333 --> 00:37:59,791
or wasn't discovered
by us human beings
690
00:37:59,958 --> 00:38:03,041
until well into
the 20th century.
691
00:38:04,375 --> 00:38:06,125
Is it possible that the design
692
00:38:06,291 --> 00:38:10,833
found on the Algarve egg
shows the DNA double helix?
693
00:38:11,041 --> 00:38:14,500
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes and suggest
694
00:38:14,708 --> 00:38:17,583
that this genetic symbol
695
00:38:17,750 --> 00:38:20,625
can be found
throughout the ancient world.
696
00:38:20,833 --> 00:38:23,666
The DNA spiral is shown
697
00:38:23,833 --> 00:38:26,916
on different antique rocks
and steles.
698
00:38:27,041 --> 00:38:28,541
Just, for example,
699
00:38:28,708 --> 00:38:31,000
look at the Sumerian steles.
700
00:38:31,166 --> 00:38:34,625
There you see
so-called flying geniuses
701
00:38:34,791 --> 00:38:37,458
or winged geniuses.
702
00:38:38,416 --> 00:38:41,500
Between these
winged geniuses is something
703
00:38:41,708 --> 00:38:45,208
which archeology
calls the tree of life.
704
00:38:45,375 --> 00:38:47,750
But if you look
at the tree of life,
705
00:38:47,916 --> 00:38:52,666
it's in reality a DNA spiral.
706
00:38:52,833 --> 00:38:56,125
How is it possible that
the double helix appears
707
00:38:56,291 --> 00:38:58,833
in ancient carvings and artwork
708
00:38:59,041 --> 00:39:01,750
when it wasn't discovered
by modern scientists
709
00:39:01,875 --> 00:39:04,625
until 1953?
710
00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:07,416
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest
711
00:39:07,625 --> 00:39:11,000
clues have been hidden
within our own cells.
712
00:39:11,083 --> 00:39:16,416
In 2013, Kazakhstani
scientists Vladimir Shcherbak
713
00:39:16,541 --> 00:39:20,333
and Maxim Makukov published
a shocking proposal
714
00:39:20,500 --> 00:39:22,625
that there is
an intelligent code
715
00:39:22,791 --> 00:39:25,916
that can be found
in our own DNA.
716
00:39:26,125 --> 00:39:29,250
They concluded that there was
717
00:39:29,375 --> 00:39:32,791
a certain amount
of mathematical precision
718
00:39:32,958 --> 00:39:36,958
and what's known
as a digital checking
719
00:39:37,125 --> 00:39:39,041
built into our DNA,
720
00:39:39,208 --> 00:39:41,375
like computer codes have.
721
00:39:41,541 --> 00:39:44,833
Checking codes to make sure that
all the other codes are right.
722
00:39:45,041 --> 00:39:47,666
Ever since
the theory of evolution
723
00:39:47,875 --> 00:39:51,666
was introduced
by Charles Darwin in 1859,
724
00:39:51,833 --> 00:39:55,291
scientists have searched
for a so-called "missing link"
725
00:39:55,500 --> 00:39:58,666
that connects humans
to our hominid ancestors.
726
00:39:58,833 --> 00:40:03,500
Ancient astronaut theorists
suggest this evolutionary leap
727
00:40:03,708 --> 00:40:07,583
was made by extraterrestrial
manipulation of our DNA.
728
00:40:09,208 --> 00:40:11,500
We've always suggested
that the ultimate proof
729
00:40:11,625 --> 00:40:14,333
for the ancient astronaut theory
730
00:40:14,500 --> 00:40:17,583
will not happen
because we'll discover
731
00:40:17,750 --> 00:40:22,458
a buried spaceship somewhere
or a ray gun in a tomb.
732
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,458
But rather
inside of our own DNA.
733
00:40:28,666 --> 00:40:30,833
Believe it or not,
I have colleagues of mine
734
00:40:31,041 --> 00:40:35,333
looking for secret messages
in our DNA.
735
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:39,833
And some of my friends
take this to the nth degree
736
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,875
and say,
"Maybe aliens from outer space
737
00:40:43,041 --> 00:40:45,333
have left us a message."
738
00:40:45,500 --> 00:40:48,583
Maybe there's
a message there hidden
739
00:40:48,750 --> 00:40:50,958
by an advanced civilization
740
00:40:51,166 --> 00:40:52,833
and that says,
"Here we are, folks.
741
00:40:53,041 --> 00:40:54,583
"We created you.
742
00:40:54,750 --> 00:40:58,166
And to prove it, we left
a code for you in your DNA."
743
00:40:58,333 --> 00:41:01,000
Well, we can't rule it out.
744
00:41:02,583 --> 00:41:06,833
The idea that extraterrestrials
placed a hidden message
745
00:41:07,041 --> 00:41:09,916
in our DNA
is not only sensational
746
00:41:10,041 --> 00:41:12,375
but also entirely possible.
747
00:41:13,583 --> 00:41:15,000
And one thing is clear.
748
00:41:15,125 --> 00:41:16,791
Whether they're standing stones,
749
00:41:16,958 --> 00:41:18,708
elaborate mandalas
750
00:41:18,875 --> 00:41:21,125
or massive geoglyphs,
751
00:41:21,250 --> 00:41:25,333
perhaps by deciphering
these alien codes
752
00:41:25,541 --> 00:41:29,791
we will unlock the truth
about our extraterrestrial past.
753
