1 00:00:00,518 --> 00:00:06,519 The symbol of the ache is a worldwide symbol. 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,519 It is more widespread than the cross. 3 00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:11,519 It was something that contained great power 4 00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:14,519 that could conceivably be released. 5 00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:18,520 It seems to point to our source of origin. 6 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,520 We have to wonder now if we're coming to much the same conclusion, 7 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,521 as was already reached thousands of years ago. 8 00:00:26,521 --> 00:00:29,521 Where are they getting this information? 9 00:00:30,521 --> 00:00:33,521 Is it coming from extraterrestrial? 10 00:00:33,521 --> 00:00:36,522 Since the dawn of civilization, 11 00:00:36,522 --> 00:00:43,522 mankind has credited its origins to gods and other visitors from the stars. 12 00:00:43,522 --> 00:00:46,523 What if it were true? 13 00:00:46,523 --> 00:00:51,523 Did extraterrestrial beings really help to shape our history? 14 00:00:51,523 --> 00:00:58,524 And if so, might the truth be found once we decode the cosmic ache? 15 00:00:59,524 --> 00:01:02,524 The truth is that the truth is the truth. 16 00:01:02,524 --> 00:01:05,525 The truth is the truth. 17 00:01:05,525 --> 00:01:08,525 The truth is the truth. 18 00:01:08,525 --> 00:01:11,525 The truth is the truth. 19 00:01:11,525 --> 00:01:14,526 The truth is the truth. 20 00:01:14,526 --> 00:01:17,526 The truth is the truth. 21 00:01:17,526 --> 00:01:20,526 The truth is the truth. 22 00:01:29,527 --> 00:01:33,528 An ancient painting on a cave wall in Africa, 23 00:01:33,528 --> 00:01:37,528 ceremonial clay objects discovered in Sweden, 24 00:01:37,528 --> 00:01:42,529 a mysterious sculpture found in China. 25 00:01:42,529 --> 00:01:44,529 Throughout the ancient world, 26 00:01:44,529 --> 00:01:48,529 there is a symbol that is more pervasive than any other, 27 00:01:48,529 --> 00:01:51,529 the symbol of the ache. 28 00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:58,530 The ache is one of the most universal sacred images. 29 00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:02,531 It is more widespread than the cross or the star or the wheel. 30 00:02:02,531 --> 00:02:05,531 It appeals to people in all corners of the earth, 31 00:02:05,531 --> 00:02:08,531 in all times and traditions. 32 00:02:08,531 --> 00:02:12,532 We found stone aches all over the world. 33 00:02:12,532 --> 00:02:17,532 For example, stone aches were found in Egypt. 34 00:02:17,532 --> 00:02:21,533 And even on Easter Island, a stone ache was found. 35 00:02:21,533 --> 00:02:27,533 So the symbol of ache is a worldwide symbol. 36 00:02:27,533 --> 00:02:30,534 What's amazing is that the egg, 37 00:02:30,534 --> 00:02:32,534 what we call the egg cosmogony, 38 00:02:32,534 --> 00:02:35,534 is a feature of several cosmogonies. 39 00:02:35,534 --> 00:02:38,534 We have it in the Nordic tradition. 40 00:02:38,534 --> 00:02:40,535 We have it in the Mediterranean tradition, 41 00:02:40,535 --> 00:02:43,535 not only Greco-Roman, but Egyptian 42 00:02:43,535 --> 00:02:46,535 and also the Phoenician mythologies. 43 00:02:46,535 --> 00:02:48,535 We also have it in some Middle Eastern 44 00:02:48,535 --> 00:02:51,536 and even Vedic mythologies. 45 00:02:51,536 --> 00:02:55,536 So these are radically different cultures. 46 00:02:57,536 --> 00:03:00,537 Is it possible that there's a common origin 47 00:03:00,537 --> 00:03:03,537 for South American, Native American, 48 00:03:03,537 --> 00:03:06,537 Norse and Vedic mythology? 49 00:03:06,537 --> 00:03:09,538 We have no evidence. 50 00:03:09,538 --> 00:03:13,538 So it would be hard to say where they come from 51 00:03:13,538 --> 00:03:17,538 and why they all use this image. 52 00:03:17,538 --> 00:03:21,539 Why is it that so many ancient cultures, 53 00:03:21,539 --> 00:03:24,539 separated by thousands of miles, 54 00:03:24,539 --> 00:03:28,540 all use the symbol of the egg? 55 00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:32,540 For one thing, obviously, it is associated with birth. 56 00:03:32,540 --> 00:03:35,540 Well, birth is a great mystery, so it's the worship of life. 57 00:03:35,540 --> 00:03:38,541 It is also taken as a symbol of rebirth. 58 00:03:38,541 --> 00:03:42,541 We use it at the Easter time in the spring. 59 00:03:42,541 --> 00:03:45,541 The cultures that birthed these stories 60 00:03:45,541 --> 00:03:50,542 recognized something in the story of birth, 61 00:03:50,542 --> 00:03:54,542 of creation, of fertility, of reproduction 62 00:03:54,542 --> 00:03:58,543 that was meaningful for their stories. 63 00:03:58,543 --> 00:04:01,543 While the most obvious interpretation of the egg 64 00:04:01,543 --> 00:04:03,543 is that it symbolizes fertility 65 00:04:03,543 --> 00:04:06,543 and the natural creation of life, 66 00:04:06,543 --> 00:04:08,544 some researchers question 67 00:04:08,544 --> 00:04:11,544 why there are so many depictions of eggs 68 00:04:11,544 --> 00:04:13,544 found throughout the ancient world 69 00:04:13,544 --> 00:04:16,544 that show humans emerging from them. 70 00:04:16,544 --> 00:04:20,545 We have these many stories from around the world 71 00:04:20,545 --> 00:04:24,545 of how life starts as the form of an egg, 72 00:04:24,545 --> 00:04:26,546 including human life, too, 73 00:04:26,546 --> 00:04:29,546 starting with a sperm and an egg. 74 00:04:29,546 --> 00:04:32,546 But how would ancient people realize 75 00:04:32,546 --> 00:04:37,547 that humans also have these eggs? 76 00:04:37,547 --> 00:04:41,547 Could ancient people have somehow had the knowledge 77 00:04:41,547 --> 00:04:44,547 that humans emerge from eggs? 78 00:04:44,547 --> 00:04:47,548 Or might this symbol have held a less literal 79 00:04:47,548 --> 00:04:50,548 and more profound meaning for them, 80 00:04:50,548 --> 00:04:55,549 one that reveals an extraterrestrial connection? 81 00:04:55,549 --> 00:04:58,549 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 82 00:04:58,549 --> 00:05:01,549 that the stories connected to the egg 83 00:05:01,549 --> 00:05:03,549 provide undeniable evidence 84 00:05:03,549 --> 00:05:08,550 that this was not simply a representation of fertility. 85 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:11,550 Nearly as widespread as the symbol of the egg 86 00:05:11,550 --> 00:05:15,551 is a concept commonly known as the cosmic egg. 87 00:05:15,551 --> 00:05:18,551 While the name varies from culture to culture, 88 00:05:18,551 --> 00:05:21,551 the story is always nearly identical, 89 00:05:21,551 --> 00:05:25,552 that the entire universe originated from an egg. 90 00:05:25,552 --> 00:05:29,552 They're called cosmic eggs, they're called silver eggs, 91 00:05:29,552 --> 00:05:32,552 they're called magic eggs, they're called enchanted eggs, 92 00:05:32,552 --> 00:05:35,553 they're called the eggs of the gods. 93 00:05:35,553 --> 00:05:37,553 I mean, all around the world, 94 00:05:37,553 --> 00:05:40,553 there are these creation stories 95 00:05:40,553 --> 00:05:43,553 of the egg breaking open 96 00:05:43,553 --> 00:05:46,554 and the water of life coming out. 97 00:05:46,554 --> 00:05:49,554 In Chinese mythology, there is this notion 98 00:05:49,554 --> 00:05:55,555 that the universe emerges out of a primordial chaos. 99 00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:59,555 And this primordial chaos in many accounts 100 00:05:59,555 --> 00:06:01,555 is self-contained. 101 00:06:01,555 --> 00:06:04,556 It's like a cosmic egg. 102 00:06:04,556 --> 00:06:08,556 And from this primordial chaos, which contains everything, 103 00:06:08,556 --> 00:06:10,556 the universe is generated. 104 00:06:10,556 --> 00:06:13,557 And first it divides into two principles, 105 00:06:13,557 --> 00:06:17,557 yin and yang, and then three, and then ten thousand. 106 00:06:17,557 --> 00:06:19,557 Basically, ad infinitum. 107 00:06:19,557 --> 00:06:23,558 Hindus had thought about the expansion of the universe 108 00:06:23,558 --> 00:06:25,558 in the shape of an egg. 109 00:06:25,558 --> 00:06:29,558 Brahmanda is a Sanskrit term composed of two words, 110 00:06:29,558 --> 00:06:31,558 Brahma and under. 111 00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:33,559 And Brahma means creator-god, 112 00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:35,559 under means egg. 113 00:06:35,559 --> 00:06:38,559 So it is actually a cosmic egg. 114 00:06:39,559 --> 00:06:44,560 Many different ancient cultures describe a creation myth 115 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:50,560 in which the universe actually hatches out of an egg. 116 00:06:52,561 --> 00:06:57,561 It is incredible to look at the sheer diversity 117 00:06:57,561 --> 00:07:01,562 of different teachings that all point back to the idea 118 00:07:01,562 --> 00:07:06,562 that the universe originated from some sort of primordial centrality. 119 00:07:08,562 --> 00:07:12,563 The story found in numerous cultures of the cosmic egg 120 00:07:12,563 --> 00:07:16,563 representing a central point from which the universe exploded 121 00:07:16,563 --> 00:07:20,564 has led some to ask if this might actually be a description 122 00:07:20,564 --> 00:07:25,564 of what scientists today call the Big Bang. 123 00:07:25,564 --> 00:07:29,564 In 1931, Belgian astronomer Georges Lemaitre proposed 124 00:07:29,564 --> 00:07:33,565 that the entire universe originated in one single point. 125 00:07:34,565 --> 00:07:36,565 He called it the primeval atom. 126 00:07:36,565 --> 00:07:41,566 This primeval atom, he also referred to it as a cosmic egg. 127 00:07:41,566 --> 00:07:44,566 That was at the beginning of all of creation. 128 00:07:49,567 --> 00:07:53,567 The question is, how did our ancestors know about this? 129 00:07:53,567 --> 00:07:55,567 Was it just a hunch? 130 00:07:55,567 --> 00:07:57,567 Or was it that they were told 131 00:07:57,567 --> 00:08:01,568 if somebody told them that means we're not alone in the universe? 132 00:08:01,568 --> 00:08:03,568 End of story. 133 00:08:03,568 --> 00:08:09,569 You have to wonder now if we're coming to much the same conclusion 134 00:08:09,569 --> 00:08:14,569 as was already reached thousands of years ago in the Sanskrit texts. 135 00:08:14,569 --> 00:08:17,569 Where are they getting this information? 136 00:08:17,569 --> 00:08:20,570 Is it coming from extraterrestrials? 137 00:08:22,570 --> 00:08:24,570 Might the symbol of the cosmic egg 138 00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:28,571 and the creation stories that go along with it 139 00:08:28,571 --> 00:08:33,571 reveal that our ancestors had scientific knowledge of how the Earth 140 00:08:33,571 --> 00:08:37,571 and in fact our entire universe was created? 141 00:08:38,572 --> 00:08:45,572 And if so, is it possible that this was taught to them by extraterrestrial visitors? 142 00:08:45,572 --> 00:08:51,573 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that while this is one possibility 143 00:08:51,573 --> 00:08:57,574 there may be a more tangible explanation for the concept of the cosmic egg 144 00:08:57,574 --> 00:09:04,574 one that is connected directly to the arrival of extraterrestrial visitors. 145 00:09:07,575 --> 00:09:14,575 Coming up, they said specifically these eggs, they came from out there. 146 00:09:14,575 --> 00:09:18,576 It suggests that extraterrestrials influence their civilization. 147 00:09:22,576 --> 00:09:27,577 Mali, West Africa 148 00:09:29,577 --> 00:09:32,577 Here hidden within the cliff of Bandyagara 149 00:09:32,577 --> 00:09:37,578 lie hundreds of villages occupied by the Dogon people. 150 00:09:37,578 --> 00:09:40,578 Believed to be the descendants of the Egyptians 151 00:09:40,578 --> 00:09:47,579 archaeologists say the ancient nomadic tribe settled in this region around 1000 AD. 152 00:09:48,579 --> 00:09:56,580 Like many other ancient cultures, the creation story of the Dogon involves a cosmic egg. 153 00:09:57,580 --> 00:10:05,581 In West Africa the Dogon creation myth is that the earliest divinity, 154 00:10:05,581 --> 00:10:09,581 Amma, the god of all things, took the form of an egg 155 00:10:09,581 --> 00:10:12,581 and this is what unfolded to become creation. 156 00:10:12,581 --> 00:10:19,582 When the egg opened, it became a whirlwind and scattered its contents in all directions. 157 00:10:22,582 --> 00:10:26,583 This ultimately formed all of the galaxies and planets. 158 00:10:29,583 --> 00:10:35,584 The Dogons say that their gods, called the Namo, came down to Earth in cosmic eggs. 159 00:10:36,584 --> 00:10:41,584 And when descending from the sky, they made the ground tremble. 160 00:10:42,584 --> 00:10:46,585 They said specifically these eggs, they came from out there. 161 00:10:46,585 --> 00:10:52,585 They came from the vastness of the dark, the vastness of the cold. 162 00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:56,586 But what a more poetic way to describe space. 163 00:10:59,586 --> 00:11:04,587 The Dogon said that they originated from the star Sirius B. 164 00:11:05,587 --> 00:11:09,587 What's interesting about that is that we didn't even discover Sirius B 165 00:11:09,587 --> 00:11:13,588 until 40 years after the Dogon published originally this story, 166 00:11:13,588 --> 00:11:15,588 which is of course much more ancient. 167 00:11:18,588 --> 00:11:23,589 It suggests that the cosmic egg is a symbol for the craft of these extra terrestrials 168 00:11:23,589 --> 00:11:28,589 who the Dogon said came to Earth from Sirius and influenced their civilization. 169 00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:34,590 Could the Dogon have been given knowledge of Sirius B 170 00:11:34,590 --> 00:11:39,590 by extra terrestrials that came to Earth in egg-shaped craft? 171 00:11:41,591 --> 00:11:47,591 Might the cosmic egg not only represent knowledge of how the universe was formed, 172 00:11:47,591 --> 00:11:52,592 but the actual vehicles primitive people witnessed descending from the sky? 173 00:11:55,592 --> 00:12:00,593 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest there is evidence 174 00:12:00,593 --> 00:12:05,593 that similar craft have even been witnessed in modern times. 175 00:12:09,593 --> 00:12:14,594 April 24th, 1964, 6 p.m. 176 00:12:14,594 --> 00:12:16,594 Sacoro, New Mexico. 177 00:12:18,594 --> 00:12:23,595 While chasing a speeding car, police sergeant Lonnie Zamora hears a loud roar 178 00:12:23,595 --> 00:12:26,595 and sees a flame in the sky to the southwest. 179 00:12:27,595 --> 00:12:34,596 Thinking a local dynamite shack might have exploded, Zamora breaks off the chase to investigate. 180 00:12:38,596 --> 00:12:41,597 He headed off to where he thought the explosion had come from. 181 00:12:43,597 --> 00:12:50,598 As he got to the site, he saw an egg-shaped object standing on a tripod leg formation 182 00:12:50,598 --> 00:12:54,598 with two small creatures outside of it in white overalls. 183 00:12:56,598 --> 00:13:01,599 According to his account, as Zamora began to approach on foot, 184 00:13:01,599 --> 00:13:05,599 the creatures quickly jumped inside the egg-shaped vehicle, 185 00:13:05,599 --> 00:13:09,600 and it lifted off into the sky in a column of fire. 186 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,600 Of course, by the time backup arrived, the object had gone. 187 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,601 But fortunately, the landing marks where the craft had come down were still visible. 188 00:13:23,601 --> 00:13:27,602 Clearly demonstrating that something had touched the ground 189 00:13:27,602 --> 00:13:30,602 and had left the ground again and took to the skies. 190 00:13:31,602 --> 00:13:36,602 Within days, a team of investigators from the FBI, the Air Force, 191 00:13:36,602 --> 00:13:40,603 and the nearby White Sands missile range examined the site. 192 00:13:42,603 --> 00:13:48,604 As soon as the media picked up the story, more witnesses came forward with similar descriptions. 193 00:13:49,604 --> 00:13:53,604 It made headlines around the world because J. Allen Heineck, 194 00:13:53,604 --> 00:13:56,605 who was then head of the Center for UFO Studies 195 00:13:56,605 --> 00:14:02,605 and had been working for the Air Force on the study of UFO investigations, 196 00:14:02,605 --> 00:14:08,606 he got in touch with Lonnie Zamora and arranged to come to the ground. 197 00:14:09,606 --> 00:14:13,606 Dr. J. Allen Heineck, who's very much a skeptic of the UFO phenomenon 198 00:14:13,606 --> 00:14:17,607 and arguably in some cases even a debunker of the phenomenon. 199 00:14:18,607 --> 00:14:23,607 To a great degree, that changed when he looked into the Zamora case. 200 00:14:23,607 --> 00:14:29,608 And ironically, he ultimately swung around and became a full-on believer in the UFO phenomenon. 201 00:14:30,608 --> 00:14:35,609 The incident immediately became a part of Project Blue Book, 202 00:14:35,609 --> 00:14:40,609 a special Air Force operation that began in 1952 203 00:14:40,609 --> 00:14:45,610 to catalog and investigate the sightings of unidentified flying objects. 204 00:14:46,610 --> 00:14:51,610 Although publicly, Project Blue Book downplayed the entire UFO phenomenon 205 00:14:51,610 --> 00:14:54,611 and certainly the Zamora case in particular, 206 00:14:54,611 --> 00:14:58,611 behind the scenes something very, very different was going on. 207 00:14:58,611 --> 00:15:03,611 Major Hector Quintanilla, the boss of Project Blue Book at the time, 208 00:15:03,611 --> 00:15:07,612 prepared a secret memo for the attention of the CIA 209 00:15:07,612 --> 00:15:13,612 and essentially the memo said there was no doubt that Zamora had seen something unusual, 210 00:15:13,612 --> 00:15:17,613 something from somewhere else, a touchdown on our planet. 211 00:15:17,613 --> 00:15:21,613 We have a shiny metallic object in the shape of an egg. 212 00:15:21,613 --> 00:15:25,614 There are multiple eyewitnesses that actually say they saw this 213 00:15:25,614 --> 00:15:30,614 and there are hundreds of witnesses who heard this roaring sound. 214 00:15:30,614 --> 00:15:35,615 We have landing traces. There's so much evidence it's unbelievable. 215 00:15:38,615 --> 00:15:42,615 Could Sergeant Zamora have had a similar encounter 216 00:15:42,615 --> 00:15:48,616 to what the do-cons say their ancestors witnessed thousands of years ago? 217 00:15:48,616 --> 00:15:53,617 And if so, might this mean that the cosmic egg represented 218 00:15:53,617 --> 00:15:56,617 not just the beginning of the universe, 219 00:15:56,617 --> 00:16:03,618 but also the craft used by the beings that gave our ancestors this knowledge? 220 00:16:04,618 --> 00:16:11,618 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest there is even more to the meaning of this universal icon 221 00:16:11,618 --> 00:16:16,619 and that additional clues can be found by examining a stone egg 222 00:16:16,619 --> 00:16:20,619 that bears another mysterious symbol. 223 00:16:21,620 --> 00:16:23,620 Coming up... 224 00:16:23,620 --> 00:16:29,620 If you looked through the hole in these stones, you would be able to see supernatural creatures. 225 00:16:29,620 --> 00:16:34,621 What if this druid's stone was an extraterrestrial type of device? 226 00:16:35,621 --> 00:16:37,621 The World of Trees 227 00:16:40,621 --> 00:16:43,622 Silves, Portugal, 1984 228 00:16:44,622 --> 00:16:50,623 Farmers digging a well for agriculture on land overlooking the ancient harbor 229 00:16:50,623 --> 00:16:55,623 come across a mysterious object 15 feet beneath the earth. 230 00:16:56,623 --> 00:17:03,624 A six-foot-long limestone egg with a mysterious design protruding from its surface in three places. 231 00:17:04,624 --> 00:17:09,624 The egg has been dated to at least 3,500 BC 232 00:17:09,624 --> 00:17:13,625 and scientists conclude it could be even older. 233 00:17:16,625 --> 00:17:21,626 Today, the Algarveg is on display in the Lagouche Museum, 234 00:17:21,626 --> 00:17:24,626 19 miles from where it was discovered. 235 00:17:25,626 --> 00:17:29,627 Author Peter Dottrie has studied the egg meticulously 236 00:17:29,627 --> 00:17:35,627 in an attempt to discover the story behind this mysterious stone artifact. 237 00:17:36,627 --> 00:17:39,628 How does this museum classify the stone? 238 00:17:39,628 --> 00:17:48,629 They classified as men here, a standing stone of which there are many all the way up the west coast of Portugal, 239 00:17:48,629 --> 00:17:54,629 France, Brittany and into the Gallic countries, Ireland, Wales, Scotland. 240 00:17:54,629 --> 00:18:01,630 Most of them are just big lumps of stone that have been dug up and erected with a little bit of shaping. 241 00:18:01,630 --> 00:18:06,630 As you can see, this is a lot more than just a simple stone has been dug up. 242 00:18:06,630 --> 00:18:09,631 It's really a piece of sculpture or was a piece of sculpture. 243 00:18:09,631 --> 00:18:17,632 Which is very interesting to see these different eggs or these navels or oomphalos from all around the world. 244 00:18:17,632 --> 00:18:21,632 It's symbols of creation. Everybody, every race has one. 245 00:18:21,632 --> 00:18:27,633 There is an interesting old legend, a Slavic legend from areas like Bosnia and Yugoslavia, 246 00:18:27,633 --> 00:18:35,633 which says that they originally came from a land in the western ocean which sank. 247 00:18:35,633 --> 00:18:42,634 And the center of their religion on the island was a large white stone egg. 248 00:18:42,634 --> 00:18:46,635 This was white. You can see it's been buried, it's got the earth just coloring it. 249 00:18:46,635 --> 00:18:51,635 But white sandstone or retalking of something is incredibly old. 250 00:18:51,635 --> 00:18:56,636 And this thing up the middle here, or the resemble the rod, 251 00:18:56,636 --> 00:19:02,636 which throughout history has been a symbol of power, of creation. 252 00:19:02,636 --> 00:19:11,637 Moses had a rod and in Mesopotamia the rod was regarded as the symbol of the power of the gods. 253 00:19:11,637 --> 00:19:22,638 If you look at this, this could be referred to as the origin of that staff that is used in medicine with the snake around it. 254 00:19:22,638 --> 00:19:31,639 In Greek mythology, Asclepius, the god of medicine, is always depicted with a serpent-intwined rod. 255 00:19:31,639 --> 00:19:40,640 In the Greek Caduceus, a staff carried by the messenger god Hermes, consists of two serpents intertwined. 256 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:46,641 Closely resembling the design on the Algarve egg. 257 00:19:46,641 --> 00:19:58,642 While the snake and egg are both considered fertility symbols, ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the combination of the two may hold another meaning. 258 00:19:58,642 --> 00:20:06,643 They believe it may represent extraterrestrial technology. 259 00:20:06,643 --> 00:20:14,644 And as evidence, point to the druid's egg or snake stone. 260 00:20:14,644 --> 00:20:25,645 Druid eggs are oval or roundish stones often made of a calcination material like this. 261 00:20:25,645 --> 00:20:31,645 According to Pliny the Elder, these druid eggs were used to cure illness. 262 00:20:31,645 --> 00:20:39,646 And if you looked through the hole in these stones, you would be able to see supernatural creatures. 263 00:20:39,646 --> 00:20:45,647 Are we really just talking about a magical stone with magical properties? 264 00:20:45,647 --> 00:20:50,647 Or were these magical properties actually rooted in reality? 265 00:20:50,647 --> 00:21:03,649 What if this druid's stone was not necessarily just a ritual object, but that originally it was an extraterrestrial type of device? 266 00:21:03,649 --> 00:21:09,649 Might the druid's egg have actually held other worldly powers? 267 00:21:09,649 --> 00:21:25,651 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest further clues can be found by examining another egg-shaped object that was said to connect humans directly to the gods. 268 00:21:25,651 --> 00:21:28,651 Delphi Grease. 269 00:21:28,651 --> 00:21:36,652 Standing in the center of this archaeological complex is a stone artifact known as an ampholus. 270 00:21:36,652 --> 00:21:42,653 The ampholus is carved with a pattern not unlike that found on the Algarve egg. 271 00:21:42,653 --> 00:21:48,653 Only these lines crisscross the entire stone. 272 00:21:48,653 --> 00:22:00,655 It is thought to be an ancient reproduction of the original ampholus that according to the Greeks, marked the naval of the earth. 273 00:22:00,655 --> 00:22:07,655 This here is a small-scale replica of the ampholus of the oracle in Delphi. 274 00:22:07,655 --> 00:22:21,657 It has these bizarre strands on them intertwining and in fact the plaque at the place where this thing is located, it actually says that this object fell from the sky. 275 00:22:21,657 --> 00:22:26,657 And afterwards, because of Zeus, life began on earth. 276 00:22:31,658 --> 00:22:40,659 According to Greek mythology, the celestial stone enabled direct communication with the gods. 277 00:22:40,659 --> 00:22:52,660 The Delphic tradition was something like channeling an oracle, a human being, a high priest, but still a person could receive the wisdom directly from a god. 278 00:22:52,660 --> 00:22:59,661 And at the center of this strange tradition was the ampholus egg. 279 00:23:00,661 --> 00:23:08,662 So you have to ask what was going on here? Why was the cosmic egg so important to these priestesses? 280 00:23:08,662 --> 00:23:20,663 And were they able to somehow use it as some technological device to stimulate their brains to make these predictions? 281 00:23:21,663 --> 00:23:34,664 Could the ampholus, like the druid's egg, have been a technological device that connected humans with other worldly beings? 282 00:23:34,664 --> 00:23:47,666 And might these ancient stories associated with the cosmic egg still hold a message today that within us lies a connection to greater powers in the universe? 283 00:23:48,666 --> 00:23:55,666 Perhaps further clues can be found by taking another look at the symbol on the algarve. 284 00:23:55,666 --> 00:24:03,667 And how it might be connected to a biological structure that lies within the human body. 285 00:24:05,668 --> 00:24:06,668 Coming up. 286 00:24:06,668 --> 00:24:12,668 Here's something that's supposedly 5,000 years old and it has a double helix on it. 287 00:24:12,668 --> 00:24:19,669 That can be translated into one single word. Seeding. The seeding of a planet. 288 00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:28,670 All many Cossacks to have. May 2013. 289 00:24:28,670 --> 00:24:36,671 Writing in the journal Icarus, scientists Vladimir Cherbach and Maxi Makukov make a shocking proposal. 290 00:24:36,671 --> 00:24:41,671 That there is an intelligent code that can be found in our own DNA. 291 00:24:42,671 --> 00:24:56,673 They concluded that there was a certain amount of mathematical precision and what's known as digital checking built into our DNA, like computer codes have. 292 00:24:56,673 --> 00:25:00,673 Checking codes to make sure that all the other codes are right. 293 00:25:01,673 --> 00:25:11,674 We now know that DNA's genetic code is an elegant language composed of billions of characters perfectly ordered, much like computer machine language. 294 00:25:11,674 --> 00:25:19,675 But it is so complex and so precise that geneticists still don't know where DNA came from. 295 00:25:20,675 --> 00:25:29,676 The two scientists claim their research supports a controversial theory about the origin of DNA that was first suggested by Francis Crick. 296 00:25:29,676 --> 00:25:37,677 One of the two men responsible for discovering the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953. 297 00:25:38,677 --> 00:25:43,678 In the article they went on to propose that our DNA didn't come from Earth. 298 00:25:44,678 --> 00:25:52,679 Their theory is cited as evidence of panspermia or the idea that we were in fact seeded from the stars. 299 00:25:53,679 --> 00:26:02,680 The basic premise of directed panspermia is that the building blocks of life were sent to Earth by an advanced civilization in the distant past. 300 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:12,681 And ancient astronaut theorists suggest this may be part of the message contained within the stories of the cosmic egg. 301 00:26:12,681 --> 00:26:22,682 All around the world there are stories of glowing eggs descending from the sky and out of which life began. 302 00:26:22,682 --> 00:26:29,682 That can be translated into one single word, seeding, the seeding of a planet. 303 00:26:31,683 --> 00:26:40,684 When we look at the Algarve egg, these intertwined snakes can also be interpreted as DNA strands. 304 00:26:41,684 --> 00:26:48,684 Here's something that's supposedly 5,000 years old and it has a double helix on it. 305 00:26:48,684 --> 00:27:00,686 It seems to be symbolizing somehow this cosmic egg, this cosmic creation that is where all life and humanity all started. 306 00:27:01,686 --> 00:27:08,686 Is it possible that the design found on the Algarve egg represents the structure of DNA? 307 00:27:08,686 --> 00:27:17,687 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that this genetic symbol can be found throughout the ancient world. 308 00:27:19,688 --> 00:27:25,688 The DNA spiral is shown on different antique rocks and stillies. 309 00:27:26,688 --> 00:27:34,689 Just for example, look at the Sumerian cylinder seals. There you see DNA spirals between the guards. 310 00:27:35,689 --> 00:27:38,690 The same at some Sumerian stillies. 311 00:27:39,690 --> 00:27:45,690 There you see so-called flying geniuses or winged geniuses. 312 00:27:45,690 --> 00:27:52,691 Between these winged geniuses is something which archaeology calls the tree of life. 313 00:27:53,691 --> 00:27:59,692 But if you look at the tree of life, it's in reality a DNA spiral. 314 00:27:59,692 --> 00:28:11,693 The two winged geniuses are working. They are changing out information of the DNA and replace it by another information. 315 00:28:12,693 --> 00:28:18,694 The situation is absolutely clear. You just have to look at it with today's eyes. 316 00:28:19,694 --> 00:28:26,695 It would seem that this serpent and egg energy have to do with our sperm and eggs. 317 00:28:27,695 --> 00:28:32,695 And the DNA helix, which is intertwined serpents. 318 00:28:33,695 --> 00:28:36,696 So how would ancient people know about this? 319 00:28:38,696 --> 00:28:40,696 Did it come from extraterrestrials? 320 00:28:42,696 --> 00:28:54,697 The cosmic eggs, the entwined serpents and DNA are all ultimately representative of the symbols of humanity itself and the creation of humanity by extraterrestrial beings. 321 00:28:55,698 --> 00:29:11,699 One place where we can see this in action is with the archangel Gabriel, who wields a caduceus wand at the annunciation scenes in which Gabriel appears to the Virgin Mary and announces that she will bear the Christ child. 322 00:29:12,699 --> 00:29:23,700 This is a suggestive of genetic manipulation with the caduceus being the symbol of a group of god beings, angelic beings who had a hand in manipulating human affairs. 323 00:29:25,701 --> 00:29:35,702 Could the mysterious symbol found on the Algarve egg have been left as a clue that we are the product of genetic manipulation by extraterrestrials? 324 00:29:36,702 --> 00:29:42,702 Might this explain why there are historical depictions of humans hatching from eggs? 325 00:29:43,702 --> 00:30:02,704 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, but propose that the story of the cosmic egg has yet another chapter, one that could only be understood by examining a biological structure that may play the most important role in what it means to be human. 326 00:30:05,705 --> 00:30:06,705 Coming up. 327 00:30:06,705 --> 00:30:11,705 You wonder, was it in fact a gift from extraterrestrial beings that awakened us? 328 00:30:12,705 --> 00:30:18,706 Our creators have designed the tool to help us become greater than we are today. 329 00:30:22,707 --> 00:30:33,708 Throughout the world, there are ancient traditions that identify the center of the head as being synonymous with the center of the earth, the center of the universe, 330 00:30:34,708 --> 00:30:37,708 and the very center of creation itself. 331 00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:45,709 This center is often depicted as egg-shaped and is identified in some cultures as the third eye. 332 00:30:49,709 --> 00:30:53,710 There are multiple cultures that point us in the same direction. 333 00:30:54,710 --> 00:30:56,710 The Hindus have it as the third eye or the bindi. 334 00:30:57,710 --> 00:31:00,710 The Buddhists have the third eye on Buddha's forehead. 335 00:31:01,711 --> 00:31:17,712 We see symbology in Mesoamerica, which seems to symbolize its ability to contact and communicate with the higher spiritual realms using this secret symbol that is consistent throughout all the major world religions. 336 00:31:18,712 --> 00:31:28,713 When you talk about the third eye, it's about enlightenment. It's about this connection to the great unknown or the force of the universe. 337 00:31:31,714 --> 00:31:38,714 We think that we are separated from the world when in reality we are all connected to every single object in the universe. 338 00:31:39,714 --> 00:31:46,715 And that inherently means that we are directly connected to every extraterrestrial being throughout the entire universe. 339 00:31:47,715 --> 00:32:10,718 Is it possible that the cosmic egg isn't only a symbol for the universe or how the universe was formed, but represents a connection that exists within each and every human to the cosmos, and possibly to extraterrestrial beings that came to earth in the distant past? 340 00:32:11,718 --> 00:32:25,719 Ancient astronaut theorists point out that while the third eye has historically been considered a metaphor, there is an egg-shaped structure within the brain that is critical in defining what it means to be human. 341 00:32:26,719 --> 00:32:27,719 The Thalamus. 342 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:41,721 Shaped like two identical eggs, the Thalamus lies at the center of the brain and is the hub responsible for relaying information from most of the sensory receptors. 343 00:32:42,721 --> 00:32:54,722 Scientists studying the effects of thalamic stimulation on comatose patients have recently suggested the Thalamus might be the most important factor in human consciousness. 344 00:32:55,722 --> 00:33:09,724 The Thalamus is like a relay station in the brain, so you have all the primary sensory information coming in, like information coming in, your eyes through your retina and through your ears, and all these sensations. 345 00:33:09,724 --> 00:33:25,725 The first place they go after the primary sense organs is they get funneled to the Thalamus, and then the Thalamus sorts out this information and relays it to the various parts in the cortex that process that primary sensory information. 346 00:33:27,726 --> 00:33:31,726 If the Thalamus is damaged, usually it will knock out consciousness. 347 00:33:32,726 --> 00:33:38,727 It's a very critical point where all the information comes to and then it's distributed in the cortex. 348 00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:44,727 The Thalamus is called the lamp, the open eye, even the third eye. 349 00:33:45,728 --> 00:33:59,729 And when you look at this, you wonder, was it in fact a gift from extraterrestrial beings that awakened us, that enable us to become connected to the divine or extraterrestrial realm? 350 00:34:00,729 --> 00:34:15,731 Perhaps the extraterrestrials that had a hand in fashioning the human body and tweaking the human brain placed the Thalamus there in its egg shape as a connecting link to the greater civilization out of which we originally emerged. 351 00:34:18,731 --> 00:34:25,732 Could the Thalamus be the physical representation of what ancient cultures referred to as the third eye? 352 00:34:26,732 --> 00:34:33,733 And if so, might this brain structure act as a connection to greater forces in the universe? 353 00:34:34,733 --> 00:34:49,734 As incredible as this notion may seem, ancient astronaut theorists suggest that the Thalamus can also be found represented in one of the most prominent symbols of ancient Egypt, the eye of Horus. 354 00:34:50,734 --> 00:34:59,735 The eye of Horus, also known as the eye of Ra, was a symbol of protection, royal power, and good health. 355 00:35:00,735 --> 00:35:06,736 But it was also known as the eye of Providence, the all-seeing eye of God. 356 00:35:07,736 --> 00:35:16,737 Now what is incredible is if you look at the Thalamus and all of the structures surrounding that, it looks like the eye of Horus. 357 00:35:17,737 --> 00:35:20,737 The similarity is really pretty astonishing. 358 00:35:21,737 --> 00:35:29,738 According to scientists and historians, the ancient Egyptians were likely aware of the shape of these brain structures. 359 00:35:30,738 --> 00:35:35,739 Well, we have to remember that the ancient people were pretty conversant with cutting animals open of all kinds. 360 00:35:37,739 --> 00:35:45,740 As humans were cleaved open, broken open, there would have been any number of ways for early humans to start looking at brain structure. 361 00:35:46,740 --> 00:35:51,741 It's clear that thinking came comes from the brain, but what was the part of the Thalamus for this? 362 00:35:52,741 --> 00:35:59,741 How would the ancient Egyptians have known about how all of these parts of the brain functioned together? 363 00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:03,742 Is it possible that they got this knowledge from extraterrestrials? 364 00:36:07,742 --> 00:36:12,743 Could the eye of Horus help solve the puzzle of the cosmic egg? 365 00:36:13,743 --> 00:36:21,744 And might the symbol of the cosmic egg with intertwined serpents represent both the Thalamus and DNA? 366 00:36:22,744 --> 00:36:27,744 The two biological traits that are most important in defining what it means to be human. 367 00:36:28,744 --> 00:36:34,745 Scientists estimate that 98.8% of our DNA goes unused. 368 00:36:35,745 --> 00:36:55,747 And so it would seem that our creators, possibly extraterrestrials, have designed a tool to help us ultimately unlock all the potential that we have already in our DNA and bodies and become greater than we are today. 369 00:36:56,747 --> 00:37:11,749 Is it possible that the simple design of the cosmic egg is a message handed down from extraterrestrials to humanity, telling us not only where we come from, but where we are going? 370 00:37:12,749 --> 00:37:16,749 Or does it symbolize our connection to the cosmos? 371 00:37:17,749 --> 00:37:23,750 According to ancient astronaut theorists, there may be an even more profound explanation. 372 00:37:26,750 --> 00:37:40,752 In the tradition of the Kambala, the ancient Jewish mystical philosophy that arose in the 6th century BC, an egg-shaped bubble of iridescence surrounds every human body. 373 00:37:41,752 --> 00:37:48,753 Indian texts dating back 5000 years refer to this life energy as pram. 374 00:37:49,753 --> 00:37:55,753 And Chinese writings from roughly the same period contain a similar concept known as chi. 375 00:37:57,754 --> 00:38:07,755 Today, there are some scientists who propose there is, in fact, such an energy that surrounds us and connects us to all things in the universe. 376 00:38:07,755 --> 00:38:13,755 A notion that is represented in a theory called the holographic universe. 377 00:38:19,756 --> 00:38:34,757 This scientific discovery, which is mathematically proven, tells us that we have an illusion of a physical universe when, in fact, it is all emanating from a geometric seed or an egg, a singularity. 378 00:38:35,758 --> 00:38:57,760 All of space and all of time and all of the universe itself is simultaneously in a singular point or a seed like an egg, and is telling us that, in fact, there is a geometry that it's possible that these egg-shaped energy fields exist. 379 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:04,761 And they are, in fact, the true essence of what it means to be alive in this universe. 380 00:39:07,761 --> 00:39:21,762 Curiously, in 2006, Italian researchers using data gathered by NASA's Wilkinson microwave Anasatrompy Pro announced that the universe might actually be in the shape of an egg. 381 00:39:22,762 --> 00:39:34,764 Seven years later, in 2013, NASA scientists announced that while it looks circular to the naked eye, the Earth, too, is in the shape of an egg. 382 00:39:35,764 --> 00:39:43,765 Is it possible that the ancient symbol of the cosmic egg represents this notion that all things in the universe are connected? 383 00:39:44,765 --> 00:39:48,765 When we ask, does the cosmic egg represent the Big Bang? 384 00:39:51,765 --> 00:40:00,766 Does it represent the human thalamus? Many of these ancient cultures were very consistent in the use of symbolism as a multi-dimensional function. 385 00:40:01,766 --> 00:40:10,767 And all these different aspects of the universe are ultimately emanations of this one central identity, or the cosmic egg itself. 386 00:40:11,767 --> 00:40:34,770 In looking at this shape of the cosmic egg across all various dimensions, whether it be at a macro level, the shape of the universe, the micro level, the shape of the thalamus, they all seem to be interconnected, explaining that this shape seems to connect us with a higher state of existence, possibly even with higher states of beings, what we might call extraterrestrials. 387 00:40:35,770 --> 00:40:50,772 Like the Christian Cross, like the star of David, like the Hindu Mandala, the cosmic egg is a symbol that connects, but it goes beyond just connecting. It seems to point to our source of origin. 388 00:40:51,772 --> 00:41:10,774 And ultimately, as we embrace the symbol of the cosmic egg, it causes us to recognize the unity of all of creation, and this fundamental, very simple idea that we all came from the same original point seed or cosmic egg that broke up, dispersed, and will one day reunify. 389 00:41:11,774 --> 00:41:20,775 Might the cosmic egg be an important clue for what connects us to other entities in the universe? 390 00:41:21,775 --> 00:41:24,775 Entities that may even be our creators. 391 00:41:25,775 --> 00:41:38,776 If so, is it their intention that as we discover more about not just the mysteries of the universe, but the mysteries within each and every one of us, we will arrive at this conclusion? 392 00:41:38,776 --> 00:41:52,778 Perhaps one day soon, we will discover that within the symbol of the cosmic egg lies the key to ascending beyond Earth, to join our alien ancestors in the stars.
