A mathematical message encoded within a megalithic tomb.

A mysterious ancient symbol

with connections to the cosmos.

And complex patterns

that appear in fields around the world.

Over the years, Ancient Aliens has documented

evidence of otherworldly visitation

believed to be concealed in ancient codes and symbols.

Now we're counting down the ten most intriguing

and mysterious codes we've examined.

Codes that just might unlock the truth

about our extraterrestrial past.

♪ ♪

Throughout the ancient world,

we can find mysterious structures, carvings,

and symbols that defy explanation.

For ancient astronaut theorists like me,

these are signs that our ancestors were

influenced by extraterrestrial visitors,

and they represent a code

left for future generations to decipher.

A prime example are the giant monoliths

that were erected all over the Earth

thousands of years ago for reasons

that archaeologists still do not understand.

At number ten on our countdown of the top ten alien codes:

the Standing Stones.

NARRATOR: Throughout the planet,

scattered across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas,

are more than 50,000 ancient standing stones.

They are enormous monoliths

that have been placed vertically into the ground.

Most date back more than 5,000 years,

and the largest weigh over 300 tons--

more than double the weight of the Statue of Liberty.

DAVID CHILDRESS: When we look at these standing stones in the earth,

they are particularly mysterious

and they bring something out in us,

an awe, a sense of mystery.

Why are these stones here?

It must have some purpose but we don't know what it is.

NARRATOR: On the northwest coast of France lies the most famous

and mysterious collection of ancient standing stones

found anywhere in the world.

Stretching across two miles of rolling countryside,

the more than 3,000 giant monoliths

are known as the Carnac stones.

CHILDRESS: French archeologists

have been able to give a date to these standing stones,

and it's 5000 B.C.

So they're saying

that these stones were erected 7,000 years ago,

but they don't know who erected them.

They don't know why they were erected.

They don't know how

they moved all these stones and erected them.

NARRATOR: Some mainstream scholars suggest

that the stones are simply grave markers,

while others theorize

that they track astronomical events

like the solstice and equinox.

But ancient astronaut theorists propose

the precise placement of the Carnac Stones

represent geometric alignments far more sophisticated

than they might appear at first glance.

These 3,000 stones have been arranged

in very specific arrangements.

In fact, one of the arrangements we have

is a representation of the Pythagorean theorem,

which is "A squared plus B squared equals C squared."

How do we have that mathematical message

in an archeological site that's at least

7,000 years old?

ERICH VON DÄNIKEN: The constructions in Carnac is thousands of years

older than Pythagoras, the Greek mathematician.

So somebody must have teached our ancestors

to put these stones in a certain line,

in geometrical forms.

Now the question is simply, why?

Without a doubt one of the most baffling places on Earth

can be found in Peru.

It's a mysterious formation

that stretches for miles through the rugged desert.

And while its purpose is completely unknown,

some believe it was used

to communicate with otherworldly beings.

Number nine on our list: the Band of Holes.

NARRATOR: Pisco, Peru.

Here, stretching across the Cajamarquilla Plain,

thousands of ancient holes have been dug into a mountain range.

The holes measure six to seven feet in depth

and are evenly spaced about three feet apart.

They are arranged in a precise line

that runs north and south for almost two miles.

TSOUKALOS: In the mountains of Peru we have

what's commonly referred to as the Band of Holes.

It is one of the coolest places

in relation to the ancient astronaut theory because

who in their right mind would go ahead

and dig all these holes?

They're a incredible mystery, a very long-lived mystery.

Some people think it looks like

some kind of machine was running over the territory.

Some people think it was

some kind of systematic mining operation.

Some people say it was just pot-hunters,

you know, looting, looking for burials.

None of the explanations make good sense.

NARRATOR: While the Band of Holes continues to defy explanation,

some ancient astronaut theorists believe

it might convey a type of message

left behind by extraterrestrials.

VON DÄNIKEN: Some thousands of years in the past,

the extraterrestrials who visited our planet

left a proof behind.

They knew that in the far future

the humans will see these patterns.

They will realize that this is high geometry.

And sooner or later the questions comes up,

have we maybe been visited by beings from outer space?

CHILDRESS: Is it some kind of message for us from the past

that we're to decode when we have reached a higher state

of civilization and knowledge that we can figure all this out?

It would seem that we are only just now reaching a point

of knowledge and technology

that we can understand these codes.

And find the hidden meaning that's there.

The ancient astronaut theory suggests

that extraterrestrials who came to Earth in the distant past

left behind signs that they were here.

To me, some compelling examples are massive shapes and figures

that are carved into the landscape across the globe

and can only be seen from the sky.

At number eight on our countdown

of the top ten alien codes: geoglyphs.

NARRATOR: Nazca, Peru.

High in this arid plateau,

there is a series of precise lines and artworks

carved into the desert floor that have mystified people

since their modern discovery in the 1920s.

Curiously, all of them were made on a scale

to be seen from high above.

They are called geoglyphs.

A geoglyph is just basically

a drawing on the landscape.

Usually quite large scale.

Most geoglyphs are in deserts and in shapes.

Geometric shapes, animal shapes or whatever.

Most geoglyphs really only make sense from above.

NARRATOR: For years, archeologists believed

the Nazca Lines were an isolated phenomenon.

But now, with the benefit satellite imagery,

thousands of ancient geoglyphs are being found

all over the world--

in Kazakhstan,

in the southwestern United States,

in the Atacama Desert of Chile,

and in Bolivia,

just to name a few.

WILLIAM HENRY: There are many groups around the world

that have been creating geoglyphs

for thousands of years.

And the thing is that these glyphs can only

be seen from the sky.

That tells us that these messages

have to be for beings

that are in the sky-- extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: Is it possible

that these ancient geoglyphs were created

for an extraterrestrial purpose?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,

and suggest further clues can be found by examining

one of the most extraordinary geoglyphs ever discovered.

One of the most interesting geoglyphs that you have at Nazca

is the sun-star-cross geoglyph,

which is really a very complicated, huge mandala

of interconnected stars and triangles.

And it's something we see all over the world,

and in Tibet and India as mandalas.

So things like this that are so geometrically complicated

and are found all over the world indicates

that there was some kind of worldwide symbolic language

that was brought here by a higher intelligence.

one thing I look for are structures or shapes

that are repeated

at ancient sites around the world.

One of the most intriguing is a mysterious symbol

that just might unlock the secret

of our extraterrestrial past.

Number seven on our countdown: the keyhole shape.

NARRATOR: Khaybar, Saudi Arabia,

May 2017.

An archaeological team conducting an aerial survey

of the Saudi Arabian desert

makes an extraordinary discovery.

They find a series of 19 stone formations

in the shape of keyholes.

HUGH NEWMAN: They're thought to be thousands of years old,

but no one knows who built them,

no one knows why they were there,

but they have this sacred symbol of the keyhole as the design.

So the keyhole shape is a combination

of the triangle and the circle.

And the circle is often a representation

of the Sun and the Moon and other heavenly objects,

whereas the triangle shape is really the pyramid shape,

and that is a representation of the Earth.

So it really could be a representation

linking heaven and Earth.

NARRATOR: Curiously,

the keyhole symbol can be found

at ancient sites all over the world.

But perhaps the most impressive example can be found in Japan,

at a megalithic tomb called Daisen Kofun.

It rises up 35 feet above the surrounding area

and is 1,600 feet long

and 980 feet wide,

and it's encircled by three moats,

making the entire edifice

cover a space of five million square feet.

NARRATOR: The Daisen Kofun

is merely the largest of more than 160,000 kofuns

that dot Japan.

There are hundreds of these tombs,

built between around 300 AD to around 600 AD.

So what were these?

Were these really just tombs built for emperors and kings,

or were they something else altogether?

HENRY: The keyhole shape

can only be seen from the air.

And we're told that the ancient Japanese did not have a means

of getting into the sky to appreciate this shape.

So there's a great mystery here about why the keyhole shape?

NARRATOR: Some researchers suggest

that the keyhole shape is an alien code

and can be traced back to the first kofun ever built.

The first of these tombs is associated

with the first historical Japanese emperor,

Emperor Sujin,

in whose record in the book of ancient mythology, the Kojiki,

a keyhole of a door actually also plays an important part.

NARRATOR: According to the story in the Kojiki,

a young woman becomes impregnated by a powerful god

who comes to her room through a keyhole,

then gives birth to semidivine children.

So, you've got to wonder if these keyhole-shaped kofun

aren't something that were actually designed

by extraterrestrials.

There's something about that shape.

It has meaning.

Are these sites signaling somebody

who is apparently in the sky?

I find it fascinating that, across the globe,

megalithic structures are covered

with mysterious lines and swirls.

Are these merely decoration?

Or do they have a deeper meaning?

At number six on our list: the spiral code.

NARRATOR: County Meath, Ireland.

Here stands Ireland's most famous megalithic site:

Newgrange.

The ancient tomb was built

with over 200,000 tons of stone blocks,

many of which are covered in intricate spiral patterns.

Newgrange is one of the most important sites

in all of Europe.

Within this, we have beautiful carvings

on the 97 curbstones that go around the edge,

as well as on the main entrance stone

and within the chamber itself.

Mainly spirals, and most notably, a triple spiral

at the back of the main chamber within the actual site itself.

NARRATOR: Identical spiral patterns

have been found at ancient sites across the globe.

We see certain symbols recurring again and again.

These take the form of spirals, of concentric rings,

and they're something that are virtually universal

around the world.

NARRATOR: Many archaeologists believe

spiral petroglyphs symbolize the cosmos.

But ancient astronaut theorists believe

they serve a more profound purpose.

And as evidence, they point to spiral carvings

at a 5,000-year-old archaeological site

off the coast of France.

TSOUKALOS: On the island of Gavrinis,

there is a passage tomb.

And inside, there are giant stones left and right

with carvings that look like fingerprints

that have been carved onto the megalithic slabs.

COPPENS: When people came to Gavrinis,

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: Mathematicians examining the spirals

speculated that their varying lengths

could indicate that they represent numbers.

Based on this assumption,

they determined which numbers each carving might represent,

and discovered a record of specific information,

like the number of days in a year.

But astonishingly, these stone records

include something even more incredible.

TSOUKALOS: When mathematicians went in there

to look at this in the 1970s,

they determined it showed the longitude

and latitude of Gavrinis.

How would they know about longitude and latitude?

We came up with this in modern times.

How do we have that mathematical message

in a archaeological site that's at least 5,000 years old?

In my opinion, the extraterrestrials

wanted to leave behind some type of a message,

a type of secret code that needed to be deciphered

by a future generation that would understand,

and that generation is us.

We're comi,

and the next entry on our list needs no introduction.

They are monumental structures

that can be found on every continent,

and they were built with such precision

that, from the perspective of an ancient astronaut theorist,

many could be of extraterrestrial design.

Number five on our list

of the top ten alien codes: pyramids.

NARRATOR: In every region of the world

stand ancient monuments that have been built

in a sophisticated geometric form known as pyramids.

These structures are separated by thousands of miles,

but they are strikingly similar in design.

CASSARO: There is a kind of a master blueprint

that we see in the architecture,

and it's not in just one or two or three civilizations,

it's in all the civilizations.

China,

India,

South America-- it's there.

NARRATOR: According to the local mythologies

of numerous pyramid-building cultures,

the inspiration to build these complex structures

came from an otherworldly source.

WILLIAM BRAMLEY: In Mesoamerica,

we have the gods associated

with the construction of the pyramids.

This reflects the same kind of entity

that the Mesopotamians reported,

that the Egyptians reported

as being the architect that designed these structures.

Who were the teachers of these engineering styles?

The only conclusion there is is that aliens had a hand

in these creations a long time ago.

They're all human-made, but with the assistance

or the technology provided by extraterrestrials.

NARRATOR: If otherworldly beings inspired our ancestors

to build pyramids,

as ancient astronaut theorists contend,

what was their purpose?

Perhaps clues can be found

in the most famous of these structures:

the Great Pyramid of Egypt.

Ever since the first studies

of the Great Pyramid in Egypt have been made,

researchers have been amazed

at the mathematical knowledge

that is encoded into the Great Pyramid.

NARRATOR: The Great Pyramid is aligned

to within three sixtieths of a degree of north,

a more accurate alignment

than any other structure on Earth.

And researchers have discovered

even more profound information encoded within its design.

TRAVIS TAYLOR: We've discovered,

with satellite imagery, that the pyramid,

if you take its peak and measure it precisely

its location in degrees on the planet Earth,

the number is equal to the number

that is the speed of light, out to many, many digits.

How in the world would an ancient culture

build something so precisely

that we couldn't even measure until now,

when we had spacecraft?

And, if the people who built the pyramids

put just in its location the speed of light,

what else is in the design and placement of the pyramid?

A key tenet in the ancient astronaut theory

is that extraterrestrials shared knowledge with our ancestors.

Compelling evidence of this can be found

in an ancient Chinese text

that describes an extraterrestrial language,

one that is actually still used to this day.

Number four on our countdown: binary code.

NARRATOR: Today, the most prolific language in the world

consists of just two characters:

zero and one.

It's a language that is understood

in every culture across the globe: binary code.

People know that the digital revolution

is based on zeros and ones, zeros and ones.

Computer tape consists of one, one, one, zero, zero, zero.

That's called "binary."

Computers use zeroes and ones

because zeroes and ones correspond to "off" and "on,"

which is the circuitry of a computer.

NARRATOR: A German mathematician, Gottfried Leibniz,

is credited with defining binary code in the 17th century.

He designed a mechanical calculator

that expressed numbers as zeroes and ones.

In turn, Leibniz credited his inspiration

to the 5,000-year-old Chinese text I Ching ,

an ancient oracle code

used to communicate with otherworldly beings.

The I Ching is basically composed of 64 hexagrams,

which are combinations of

broken and unbroken lines,

binary combinations.

It was heavily used in divination.

You can use it and people still do,

very easily, you can flip a coin, for example, six times,

and every time that it lands on heads, you draw a full line.

Every time that it lands on tails,

you draw a broken line.

And then when you have six of these,

you come up with your hexagram.

And each of these hexagrams has a kind of cosmic symbolism,

And then there's a kind of oracular inscription

that you're supposed to decipher.

NARRATOR: According to mythology,

the I Ching was created by Emperor Fuxi

after he was visited by an otherworldly being.

It was said that one day he was on the Yellow River

and a water dragon appeared to him,

and that on the back of this water dragon

was revealed to him the I Ching.

And therefore we can see this system as in some way

having come from the stars, originally.

NARRATOR: Could the I Ching have been an attempt by extraterrestrials

to set up a common communication language

with mankind using binary code?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest evidence can be found

by examining a famous UFO encounter

that occurred in Suffolk County, England.

On December 26, 1980,

Sargeant James Penniston and Airman John Burroughs

were performing a routine security check

at a U.S. air force base in Rendlesham Forest

when they reportedly encountered a large extraterrestrial craft.

JAMES PENNISTON: The craft was triangular in shape,

measuring about six to seven feet high,

black in color.

I'd come around to the far side of the craft

and that's when I noticed that there was,

you know, inscription on the side.

Instead of something familiar,

I see these pictorial-type glyphs.

And got running my hand over the side of the craft.

I don't know how to explain this.

It's like someone was holding a picture up, okay?

I could see it in my mind's eye.

Zeroes and ones.

So I recorded those. One after another.

NICK POPE: Years later,

a computer programmer

took this information

ran it through a translation program

and a message emerged.

The message read

"Exploration of humanity

continuous for planetary advance."

Jim Penninston came up with all this information

without knowing a thing in real life

about binary code and binary messages.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that extraterrestrials

are using binary code as a common language

to communicate with mankind?

POPE: Who's to say that extraterrestrials

wouldn't choose to communicate via ones and zeros?

With ones and zeros, you've got binary code.

With binary code, you can write a message.

And perhaps that is the language of the cosmos.

And that's how to communicate with them.

One ofa.

Its mythology is chock full of stories

of powerful gods who came from the sky

and possessed astonishing technology,

like flying craft called vimanas.

And there is evidence that the secret

to this technology has been encoded

within complex geometric symbols

that are said to have been designed by the gods.

Number three on our countdown

of the top ten alien codes: mandalas.

NARRATOR: More than 5,000 years ago,

the Indus Valley civilization emerged

in the Punjab region of modern-day India and Pakistan.

Its people produced the foundational texts

for Hinduism, which is widely regarded

as the world's oldest religion

and today has more than one billion followers.

The earliest of these texts, called the Vedas,

describe how the gods provided humankind

with a visual guide to sacred sounds.

They are represented in elaborate patterns

called mandalas.

HENRY: The Vedas tell us that the gods taught humans how to chant.

How to pray and to sing

in order to communicate with the gods.

PRAVEEN MOHAN: Mandalas are mnemonic devices

used to aid meditation

often in tandem with chanting.

So, what they're doing is they're essentially translating

sound into visual patterns.

NARRATOR: Mandalas are important components

in both Hindu and Buddhist faiths.

For ancient astronaut theorists,

what is most intriguing about mandalas

is that the visual patterns do, in fact,

have a scientific connection

to the sacred sounds they are said to represent.

This was discovered

thanks to an 18th century German physicist

named Ernst Chladni,

who is known as the father of acoustics.

In 1787, Chaldni's book,

Discoveries in the Theory of Sound,

revealed that the application of sound vibrations

to grains of sand on a metal plate

creates complex geometric shapes,

now known as cymatic patterns.

JEFF THOMPSON: We've got this thin metal plate like a sounding board

and we've got a transducer attached to the bottom of it.

And they spread sand over the top of this plate.

And start playing certain tones.

And those sand particles will start to bounce around

and dance around and they start to form

these mathematical circular patterns.

And as we move up through these frequencies,

the sand goes into kind of a chaos in-between state

and then it arrives at this next pattern.

And the higher the frequency you go,

the more these patterns become more complex.

NARRATOR: For Hindus and Buddhists,

the most important sacred sound is "om."

For centuries, this sound has been depicted in mandalas

by a circle with a dot in the middle.

Incredibly, the sound "om" produces a cymatic pattern

that perfectly matches this depiction.

Other sounds also create patterns

that are found in ancient mandalas.

COLLINS: Is it conceivable

that the writers of the ancient Vedic texts

were given advanced knowledge on how sound frequencies

can be converted into visual patterns?

Is it therefore possible

that sound is an important means

of communication with such higher intelligences?

NARRATOR: Could mandalas contain an otherworldly message

for humanity that is based on sacred sounds?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes

and suggest evidence can be found

at the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Southern India.

Standing in the temple's courtyard

are 40 ornate statues that depict vimanas,

vehicles that, according to Sanskrit texts,

were navigated by the gods.

The word "vimana" in ancient Vedic text

means "flying machines."

In Hinduism, it is clearly established

that the gods come down from the sky using vimanas.

And in the temple of Srirangam,

these carvings show many different types of vimanas.

And what's really unique is that under these vimanas,

we are able to see some very interesting

patterns of mandala.

According to legend, each type of vimana

can be activated with a specific type of mandala.

I believe that much of ancient technology

was activated with specific types

of frequencies.

And if we crack this visual code,

if we crack this cymatic pattern,

we might actually unlock

the secret to power these vimanas.

Ancient Aliens,

some of the most mysterious are massive impressions

that randomly appear in fields all over the world.

And what's most interesting to me

is that these complex patterns

may be encoded with otherworldly messages.

At number two on our countdown: crop circles.

NARRATOR: A mysterious geometric pattern

emerges in a field of mustard plants.

The perfectly symmetrical design is a phenomenon

known as a crop circle.

Crop circles are basically

features, designs,

illustrations of high complexity in crops.

They tend to be complicated designs of unknown origin.

NARRATOR: Crop circles range from small discs

to elaborate pictograms hundreds of feet across.

They have been found in various crops,

including wheat, barley, oilseed rape,

and corn.

TAYLOR: In terms of the patterns themselves,

they've been undergoing this amazing

sort of ramp up in sophistication.

You can find these huge,

what they call pictographs, that span

hundreds of feet across a whole field,

and feature multiple components.

And they're arranged with mathematical precision.

Crop circles appear in more than 50 countries.

And there literally have been thousands of them.

Maybe over 10,000 crop circles

that we're aware of in the modern era.

One of the first in 1966,

it was Tully, Queensland, Australia.

A farmer heard a buzzing sound and literally saw

this big round, maybe 30-feet-diameter craft, disk,

rising up out of what essentially

was marshy, reedy ground.

And it goes up and disappears,

and left behind the circle.

HENRY: He finds a circular area where the grass

in the swamp or the reeds are matted down.

This is reported in the Australian press,

and they start labeling these "UFO nests,"

or "flying saucer nests."

HOWE: Something keeps laying things down in sequence

as if it has a big picture of how it is communicating

with this planet, but it is doing so in pieces.

What in the world is making these patterns and why?

NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the answer may be

encoded within the crop circles themselves

and might have critical implications for mankind.

As evidence, they point to an elaborate formation

that appeared in Wroughton, England in 2008.

One formation had everyone baffled

and people were saying, "Well, what is this?"

Then a mathematician had a look at it and said,

"Wait a minute, that's a representation of pi,

and it's correct down to ten decimal places."

It's a representation of pi in a geometric sense.

It's kind of interesting because the way you get pi

out of it is the lengths of the different arcs in each segment.

And what happens is there's these little notches

in the spiral that let you know you're at the end of an arc

so you actually have to measure the arc lengths as you go around

and their lengths give you the digits of pi.

And there's a little circle to give you the decimal point.

So it's a really interesting example of using

geometry as a code for representing digits and numbers.

Many of the most famous crop circles

actually derive from fractal patterns.

which is a mathematical shape.

The Mandelbrot set.

The Julia set.

To make these you have to have knowledge of math.

Mathematics is of course the universal language.

Could crop circles, as some believe,

be an attempt from an alien civilization

to reach out and communicate with us?

There is only one alien code left on our countdown.

And we've definitely saved the best for last,

because this code is one

that we're all carrying with us.

So far on our countdown of the top alien codes,

we've investigated extraordinary sites

and analyzed mysterious symbols.

But as far as I'm concerned, the most compelling discovery

won't be found in an ancient structure

but in a message hidden inside the human body.

Coming in at number one: the genetic code

NARRATOR: Silves, Portugal. 1984.

Farmers digging a well come across a mysterious object

15 feet beneath the earth.

A six-foot-long carved limestone egg.

Known as the Algarve egg, it has been dated

to at least 3500 BC.

And scientists conclude it could be even older.

But what interests ancient astronaut theorists the most

is a mysterious pattern etched on its surface.

TSOUKALOS: When we look at the Algarve egg, it had a symbol on it

that looked like intertwined serpents.

Or they can also be interpreted as DNA strands.

And the idea of the double helix wasn't invented

or wasn't discovered by us human beings

until well into the 20th century.

NARRATOR: Is it possible that the design

found on the Algarve egg shows the DNA double helix?

Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest

that this genetic symbol

can be found throughout the ancient world.

VON DÄNIKEN: The DNA spiral is shown

on different antique rocks and steles.

Just, for example,

look at the Sumerian steles.

There you see so-called flying geniuses

or winged geniuses.

Between these winged geniuses is something

which archeology calls the tree of life.

But if you look at the tree of life,

it's in reality a DNA spiral.

NARRATOR: How is it possible that the double helix appears

in ancient carvings and artwork

when it wasn't discovered by modern scientists

until 1953?

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest

clues have been hidden within our own cells.

In 2013, Kazakhstani scientists Vladimir Shcherbak

and Maxim Makukov published a shocking proposal

that there is an intelligent code

that can be found in our own DNA.

They concluded that there was

a certain amount of mathematical precision

and what's known as a digital checking

built into our DNA,

like computer codes have.

Checking codes to make sure that all the other codes are right.

NARRATOR: Ever since the theory of evolution

was introduced by Charles Darwin in 1859,

scientists have searched for a so-called "missing link"

that connects humans to our hominid ancestors.

Ancient astronaut theorists suggest this evolutionary leap

was made by extraterrestrial manipulation of our DNA.

TSOUKALOS: We've always suggested that the ultimate proof

for the ancient astronaut theory

will not happen because we'll discover

a buried spaceship somewhere or a ray gun in a tomb.

But rather inside of our own DNA.

KAKU: Believe it or not, I have colleagues of mine

looking for secret messages in our DNA.

And some of my friends take this to the nth degree

and say, "Maybe aliens from outer space

have left us a message."

Maybe there's a message there hidden

by an advanced civilization

and that says, "Here we are, folks.

"We created you.

And to prove it, we left a code for you in your DNA."

Well, we can't rule it out.

The idea that extraterrestrials placed a hidden message

in our DNA is not only sensational

but also entirely possible.

And one thing is clear.

Whether they're standing stones,

elaborate mandalas

or massive geoglyphs,

perhaps by deciphering these alien codes

we will unlock the truth about our extraterrestrial past.
