1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000 The symbol of the ache is a worldwide symbol. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000 It is more widespread than the cross. 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,000 It was something that contained great power 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000 that could conceivably be released. 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000 It seems to point to our source of origin. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000 We have to wonder now if we're coming to much the same conclusion, 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000 as was already reached thousands of years ago. 8 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000 Where are they getting this information? 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000 Is it coming from extraterrestrial? 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Since the dawn of civilization, 11 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:43,000 mankind has credited its origins to gods and other visitors from the stars. 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000 What if it were true? 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000 Did extraterrestrial beings really help to shape our history? 14 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000 And if so, might the truth be found once we decode the cosmic ache? 15 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000 The truth is that the truth is the truth. 16 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000 The truth is the truth. 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000 The truth is the truth. 18 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000 The truth is the truth. 19 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000 The truth is the truth. 20 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000 The truth is the truth. 21 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,000 The truth is the truth. 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000 An ancient painting on a cave wall in Africa, 23 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000 ceremonial clay objects discovered in Sweden, 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:42,000 a mysterious sculpture found in China. 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Throughout the ancient world, 26 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000 there is a symbol that is more pervasive than any other, 27 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 the symbol of the ache. 28 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000 The ache is one of the most universal sacred images. 29 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000 It is more widespread than the cross or the star or the wheel. 30 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000 It appeals to people in all corners of the earth, 31 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000 in all times and traditions. 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000 We found stone aches all over the world. 33 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000 For example, stone aches were found in Egypt. 34 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,000 And even on Easter Island, a stone ache was found. 35 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000 So the symbol of ache is a worldwide symbol. 36 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,000 What's amazing is that the egg, 37 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 what we call the egg cosmogony, 38 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000 is a feature of several cosmogonies. 39 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000 We have it in the Nordic tradition. 40 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 We have it in the Mediterranean tradition, 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000 not only Greco-Roman, but Egyptian 42 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000 and also the Phoenician mythologies. 43 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 We also have it in some Middle Eastern 44 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000 and even Vedic mythologies. 45 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000 So these are radically different cultures. 46 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Is it possible that there's a common origin 47 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000 for South American, Native American, 48 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Norse and Vedic mythology? 49 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000 We have no evidence. 50 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000 So it would be hard to say where they come from 51 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000 and why they all use this image. 52 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000 Why is it that so many ancient cultures, 53 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000 separated by thousands of miles, 54 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000 all use the symbol of the egg? 55 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000 For one thing, obviously, it is associated with birth. 56 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000 Well, birth is a great mystery, so it's the worship of life. 57 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000 It is also taken as a symbol of rebirth. 58 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000 We use it at the Easter time in the spring. 59 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,000 The cultures that birthed these stories 60 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,000 recognized something in the story of birth, 61 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000 of creation, of fertility, of reproduction 62 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000 that was meaningful for their stories. 63 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,000 While the most obvious interpretation of the egg 64 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000 is that it symbolizes fertility 65 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000 and the natural creation of life, 66 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000 some researchers question 67 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000 why there are so many depictions of eggs 68 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,000 found throughout the ancient world 69 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000 that show humans emerging from them. 70 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000 We have these many stories from around the world 71 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000 of how life starts as the form of an egg, 72 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 including human life, too, 73 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,000 starting with a sperm and an egg. 74 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000 But how would ancient people realize 75 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000 that humans also have these eggs? 76 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Could ancient people have somehow had the knowledge 77 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,000 that humans emerge from eggs? 78 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Or might this symbol have held a less literal 79 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000 and more profound meaning for them, 80 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000 one that reveals an extraterrestrial connection? 81 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 82 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,000 that the stories connected to the egg 83 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000 provide undeniable evidence 84 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:08,000 that this was not simply a representation of fertility. 85 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Nearly as widespread as the symbol of the egg 86 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000 is a concept commonly known as the cosmic egg. 87 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000 While the name varies from culture to culture, 88 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000 the story is always nearly identical, 89 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000 that the entire universe originated from an egg. 90 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000 They're called cosmic eggs, they're called silver eggs, 91 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000 they're called magic eggs, they're called enchanted eggs, 92 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,000 they're called the eggs of the gods. 93 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000 I mean, all around the world, 94 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000 there are these creation stories 95 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000 of the egg breaking open 96 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 and the water of life coming out. 97 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000 In Chinese mythology, there is this notion 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000 that the universe emerges out of a primordial chaos. 99 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000 And this primordial chaos in many accounts 100 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000 is self-contained. 101 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000 It's like a cosmic egg. 102 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000 And from this primordial chaos, which contains everything, 103 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000 the universe is generated. 104 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000 And first it divides into two principles, 105 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000 yin and yang, and then three, and then ten thousand. 106 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000 Basically, ad infinitum. 107 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Hindus had thought about the expansion of the universe 108 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 in the shape of an egg. 109 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Brahmanda is a Sanskrit term composed of two words, 110 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Brahma and under. 111 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,000 And Brahma means creator-god, 112 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000 under means egg. 113 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000 So it is actually a cosmic egg. 114 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Many different ancient cultures describe a creation myth 115 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:50,000 in which the universe actually hatches out of an egg. 116 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000 It is incredible to look at the sheer diversity 117 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000 of different teachings that all point back to the idea 118 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000 that the universe originated from some sort of primordial centrality. 119 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000 The story found in numerous cultures of the cosmic egg 120 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000 representing a central point from which the universe exploded 121 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000 has led some to ask if this might actually be a description 122 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,000 of what scientists today call the Big Bang. 123 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000 In 1931, Belgian astronomer Georges Lemaitre proposed 124 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,000 that the entire universe originated in one single point. 125 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000 He called it the primeval atom. 126 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000 This primeval atom, he also referred to it as a cosmic egg. 127 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000 That was at the beginning of all of creation. 128 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,000 The question is, how did our ancestors know about this? 129 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Was it just a hunch? 130 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Or was it that they were told 131 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000 if somebody told them that means we're not alone in the universe? 132 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000 End of story. 133 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,000 You have to wonder now if we're coming to much the same conclusion 134 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000 as was already reached thousands of years ago in the Sanskrit texts. 135 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Where are they getting this information? 136 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000 Is it coming from extraterrestrials? 137 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000 Might the symbol of the cosmic egg 138 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,000 and the creation stories that go along with it 139 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,000 reveal that our ancestors had scientific knowledge of how the Earth 140 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000 and in fact our entire universe was created? 141 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:45,000 And if so, is it possible that this was taught to them by extraterrestrial visitors? 142 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:51,000 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that while this is one possibility 143 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000 there may be a more tangible explanation for the concept of the cosmic egg 144 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:04,000 one that is connected directly to the arrival of extraterrestrial visitors. 145 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,000 Coming up, they said specifically these eggs, they came from out there. 146 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000 It suggests that extraterrestrials influence their civilization. 147 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,000 Mali, West Africa 148 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Here hidden within the cliff of Bandyagara 149 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:37,000 lie hundreds of villages occupied by the Dogon people. 150 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Believed to be the descendants of the Egyptians 151 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:47,000 archaeologists say the ancient nomadic tribe settled in this region around 1000 AD. 152 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:56,000 Like many other ancient cultures, the creation story of the Dogon involves a cosmic egg. 153 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:05,000 In West Africa the Dogon creation myth is that the earliest divinity, 154 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000 Amma, the god of all things, took the form of an egg 155 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000 and this is what unfolded to become creation. 156 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:19,000 When the egg opened, it became a whirlwind and scattered its contents in all directions. 157 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,000 This ultimately formed all of the galaxies and planets. 158 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,000 The Dogons say that their gods, called the Namo, came down to Earth in cosmic eggs. 159 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,000 And when descending from the sky, they made the ground tremble. 160 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000 They said specifically these eggs, they came from out there. 161 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000 They came from the vastness of the dark, the vastness of the cold. 162 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000 But what a more poetic way to describe space. 163 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000 The Dogon said that they originated from the star Sirius B. 164 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,000 What's interesting about that is that we didn't even discover Sirius B 165 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000 until 40 years after the Dogon published originally this story, 166 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000 which is of course much more ancient. 167 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000 It suggests that the cosmic egg is a symbol for the craft of these extra terrestrials 168 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000 who the Dogon said came to Earth from Sirius and influenced their civilization. 169 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Could the Dogon have been given knowledge of Sirius B 170 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:39,000 by extra terrestrials that came to Earth in egg-shaped craft? 171 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:47,000 Might the cosmic egg not only represent knowledge of how the universe was formed, 172 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,000 but the actual vehicles primitive people witnessed descending from the sky? 173 00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and suggest there is evidence 174 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:05,000 that similar craft have even been witnessed in modern times. 175 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:14,000 April 24th, 1964, 6 p.m. 176 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Sacoro, New Mexico. 177 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,000 While chasing a speeding car, police sergeant Lonnie Zamora hears a loud roar 178 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,000 and sees a flame in the sky to the southwest. 179 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:34,000 Thinking a local dynamite shack might have exploded, Zamora breaks off the chase to investigate. 180 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000 He headed off to where he thought the explosion had come from. 181 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:50,000 As he got to the site, he saw an egg-shaped object standing on a tripod leg formation 182 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000 with two small creatures outside of it in white overalls. 183 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:01,000 According to his account, as Zamora began to approach on foot, 184 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,000 the creatures quickly jumped inside the egg-shaped vehicle, 185 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,000 and it lifted off into the sky in a column of fire. 186 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000 Of course, by the time backup arrived, the object had gone. 187 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,000 But fortunately, the landing marks where the craft had come down were still visible. 188 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000 Clearly demonstrating that something had touched the ground 189 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000 and had left the ground again and took to the skies. 190 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000 Within days, a team of investigators from the FBI, the Air Force, 191 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000 and the nearby White Sands missile range examined the site. 192 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000 As soon as the media picked up the story, more witnesses came forward with similar descriptions. 193 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,000 It made headlines around the world because J. Allen Heineck, 194 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,000 who was then head of the Center for UFO Studies 195 00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:02,000 and had been working for the Air Force on the study of UFO investigations, 196 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,000 he got in touch with Lonnie Zamora and arranged to come to the ground. 197 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,000 Dr. J. Allen Heineck, who's very much a skeptic of the UFO phenomenon 198 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:17,000 and arguably in some cases even a debunker of the phenomenon. 199 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,000 To a great degree, that changed when he looked into the Zamora case. 200 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:29,000 And ironically, he ultimately swung around and became a full-on believer in the UFO phenomenon. 201 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,000 The incident immediately became a part of Project Blue Book, 202 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:40,000 a special Air Force operation that began in 1952 203 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,000 to catalog and investigate the sightings of unidentified flying objects. 204 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:51,000 Although publicly, Project Blue Book downplayed the entire UFO phenomenon 205 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000 and certainly the Zamora case in particular, 206 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000 behind the scenes something very, very different was going on. 207 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Major Hector Quintanilla, the boss of Project Blue Book at the time, 208 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000 prepared a secret memo for the attention of the CIA 209 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000 and essentially the memo said there was no doubt that Zamora had seen something unusual, 210 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,000 something from somewhere else, a touchdown on our planet. 211 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000 We have a shiny metallic object in the shape of an egg. 212 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000 There are multiple eyewitnesses that actually say they saw this 213 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000 and there are hundreds of witnesses who heard this roaring sound. 214 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:35,000 We have landing traces. There's so much evidence it's unbelievable. 215 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,000 Could Sergeant Zamora have had a similar encounter 216 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:48,000 to what the do-cons say their ancestors witnessed thousands of years ago? 217 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000 And if so, might this mean that the cosmic egg represented 218 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000 not just the beginning of the universe, 219 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:03,000 but also the craft used by the beings that gave our ancestors this knowledge? 220 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest there is even more to the meaning of this universal icon 221 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,000 and that additional clues can be found by examining a stone egg 222 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000 that bears another mysterious symbol. 223 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,000 Coming up... 224 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:29,000 If you looked through the hole in these stones, you would be able to see supernatural creatures. 225 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:34,000 What if this druid's stone was an extraterrestrial type of device? 226 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000 The World of Trees 227 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,000 Silves, Portugal, 1984 228 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Farmers digging a well for agriculture on land overlooking the ancient harbor 229 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000 come across a mysterious object 15 feet beneath the earth. 230 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:03,000 A six-foot-long limestone egg with a mysterious design protruding from its surface in three places. 231 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:09,000 The egg has been dated to at least 3,500 BC 232 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,000 and scientists conclude it could be even older. 233 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:21,000 Today, the Algarveg is on display in the Lagouche Museum, 234 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,000 19 miles from where it was discovered. 235 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:29,000 Author Peter Dottrie has studied the egg meticulously 236 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:35,000 in an attempt to discover the story behind this mysterious stone artifact. 237 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000 How does this museum classify the stone? 238 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:48,000 They classified as men here, a standing stone of which there are many all the way up the west coast of Portugal, 239 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,000 France, Brittany and into the Gallic countries, Ireland, Wales, Scotland. 240 00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Most of them are just big lumps of stone that have been dug up and erected with a little bit of shaping. 241 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:06,000 As you can see, this is a lot more than just a simple stone has been dug up. 242 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000 It's really a piece of sculpture or was a piece of sculpture. 243 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:17,000 Which is very interesting to see these different eggs or these navels or oomphalos from all around the world. 244 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000 It's symbols of creation. Everybody, every race has one. 245 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,000 There is an interesting old legend, a Slavic legend from areas like Bosnia and Yugoslavia, 246 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:35,000 which says that they originally came from a land in the western ocean which sank. 247 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:42,000 And the center of their religion on the island was a large white stone egg. 248 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000 This was white. You can see it's been buried, it's got the earth just coloring it. 249 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000 But white sandstone or retalking of something is incredibly old. 250 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:56,000 And this thing up the middle here, or the resemble the rod, 251 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,000 which throughout history has been a symbol of power, of creation. 252 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:11,000 Moses had a rod and in Mesopotamia the rod was regarded as the symbol of the power of the gods. 253 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:22,000 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 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:31,000 In Greek mythology, Asclepius, the god of medicine, is always depicted with a serpent-intwined rod. 255 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:40,000 In the Greek Caduceus, a staff carried by the messenger god Hermes, consists of two serpents intertwined. 256 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,000 Closely resembling the design on the Algarve egg. 257 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:58,000 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 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:06,000 They believe it may represent extraterrestrial technology. 259 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:14,000 And as evidence, point to the druid's egg or snake stone. 260 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:25,000 Druid eggs are oval or roundish stones often made of a calcination material like this. 261 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,000 According to Pliny the Elder, these druid eggs were used to cure illness. 262 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:39,000 And if you looked through the hole in these stones, you would be able to see supernatural creatures. 263 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000 Are we really just talking about a magical stone with magical properties? 264 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:50,000 Or were these magical properties actually rooted in reality? 265 00:20:50,000 --> 00:21:03,000 What if this druid's stone was not necessarily just a ritual object, but that originally it was an extraterrestrial type of device? 266 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:09,000 Might the druid's egg have actually held other worldly powers? 267 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:25,000 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 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,000 Delphi Grease. 269 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:36,000 Standing in the center of this archaeological complex is a stone artifact known as an ampholus. 270 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,000 The ampholus is carved with a pattern not unlike that found on the Algarve egg. 271 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:48,000 Only these lines crisscross the entire stone. 272 00:21:48,000 --> 00:22:00,000 It is thought to be an ancient reproduction of the original ampholus that according to the Greeks, marked the naval of the earth. 273 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:07,000 This here is a small-scale replica of the ampholus of the oracle in Delphi. 274 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:21,000 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 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000 And afterwards, because of Zeus, life began on earth. 276 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:40,000 According to Greek mythology, the celestial stone enabled direct communication with the gods. 277 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:52,000 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 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:59,000 And at the center of this strange tradition was the ampholus egg. 279 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:08,000 So you have to ask what was going on here? Why was the cosmic egg so important to these priestesses? 280 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:20,000 And were they able to somehow use it as some technological device to stimulate their brains to make these predictions? 281 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:34,000 Could the ampholus, like the druid's egg, have been a technological device that connected humans with other worldly beings? 282 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:47,000 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 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:55,000 Perhaps further clues can be found by taking another look at the symbol on the algarve. 284 00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:03,000 And how it might be connected to a biological structure that lies within the human body. 285 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Coming up. 286 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Here's something that's supposedly 5,000 years old and it has a double helix on it. 287 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:19,000 That can be translated into one single word. Seeding. The seeding of a planet. 288 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,000 All many Cossacks to have. May 2013. 289 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Writing in the journal Icarus, scientists Vladimir Cherbach and Maxi Makukov make a shocking proposal. 290 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,000 That there is an intelligent code that can be found in our own DNA. 291 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:56,000 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 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000 Checking codes to make sure that all the other codes are right. 293 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:11,000 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 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:19,000 But it is so complex and so precise that geneticists still don't know where DNA came from. 295 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:29,000 The two scientists claim their research supports a controversial theory about the origin of DNA that was first suggested by Francis Crick. 296 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:37,000 One of the two men responsible for discovering the structure of the DNA molecule in 1953. 297 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000 In the article they went on to propose that our DNA didn't come from Earth. 298 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:52,000 Their theory is cited as evidence of panspermia or the idea that we were in fact seeded from the stars. 299 00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:02,000 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 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:12,000 And ancient astronaut theorists suggest this may be part of the message contained within the stories of the cosmic egg. 301 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:22,000 All around the world there are stories of glowing eggs descending from the sky and out of which life began. 302 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:29,000 That can be translated into one single word, seeding, the seeding of a planet. 303 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:40,000 When we look at the Algarve egg, these intertwined snakes can also be interpreted as DNA strands. 304 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:48,000 Here's something that's supposedly 5,000 years old and it has a double helix on it. 305 00:26:48,000 --> 00:27:00,000 It seems to be symbolizing somehow this cosmic egg, this cosmic creation that is where all life and humanity all started. 306 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:08,000 Is it possible that the design found on the Algarve egg represents the structure of DNA? 307 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:17,000 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that this genetic symbol can be found throughout the ancient world. 308 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:25,000 The DNA spiral is shown on different antique rocks and stillies. 309 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Just for example, look at the Sumerian cylinder seals. There you see DNA spirals between the guards. 310 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000 The same at some Sumerian stillies. 311 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:45,000 There you see so-called flying geniuses or winged geniuses. 312 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:52,000 Between these winged geniuses is something which archaeology calls the tree of life. 313 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:59,000 But if you look at the tree of life, it's in reality a DNA spiral. 314 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:11,000 The two winged geniuses are working. They are changing out information of the DNA and replace it by another information. 315 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000 The situation is absolutely clear. You just have to look at it with today's eyes. 316 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:26,000 It would seem that this serpent and egg energy have to do with our sperm and eggs. 317 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:32,000 And the DNA helix, which is intertwined serpents. 318 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000 So how would ancient people know about this? 319 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Did it come from extraterrestrials? 320 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:54,000 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 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:11,000 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 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:23,000 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 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:35,000 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 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:42,000 Might this explain why there are historical depictions of humans hatching from eggs? 325 00:29:43,000 --> 00:30:02,000 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 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,000 Coming up. 327 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,000 You wonder, was it in fact a gift from extraterrestrial beings that awakened us? 328 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:18,000 Our creators have designed the tool to help us become greater than we are today. 329 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:33,000 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 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000 and the very center of creation itself. 331 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:45,000 This center is often depicted as egg-shaped and is identified in some cultures as the third eye. 332 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000 There are multiple cultures that point us in the same direction. 333 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000 The Hindus have it as the third eye or the bindi. 334 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000 The Buddhists have the third eye on Buddha's forehead. 335 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:17,000 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 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:28,000 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 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,000 We think that we are separated from the world when in reality we are all connected to every single object in the universe. 338 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:46,000 And that inherently means that we are directly connected to every extraterrestrial being throughout the entire universe. 339 00:31:47,000 --> 00:32:10,000 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 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:25,000 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 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,000 The Thalamus. 342 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:41,000 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 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:54,000 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 00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:09,000 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 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:25,000 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 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,000 If the Thalamus is damaged, usually it will knock out consciousness. 347 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:38,000 It's a very critical point where all the information comes to and then it's distributed in the cortex. 348 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000 The Thalamus is called the lamp, the open eye, even the third eye. 349 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:59,000 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 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:15,000 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 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:25,000 Could the Thalamus be the physical representation of what ancient cultures referred to as the third eye? 352 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:33,000 And if so, might this brain structure act as a connection to greater forces in the universe? 353 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:49,000 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 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:59,000 The eye of Horus, also known as the eye of Ra, was a symbol of protection, royal power, and good health. 355 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,000 But it was also known as the eye of Providence, the all-seeing eye of God. 356 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:16,000 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 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,000 The similarity is really pretty astonishing. 358 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:29,000 According to scientists and historians, the ancient Egyptians were likely aware of the shape of these brain structures. 359 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:35,000 Well, we have to remember that the ancient people were pretty conversant with cutting animals open of all kinds. 360 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:45,000 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 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:51,000 It's clear that thinking came comes from the brain, but what was the part of the Thalamus for this? 362 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:59,000 How would the ancient Egyptians have known about how all of these parts of the brain functioned together? 363 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,000 Is it possible that they got this knowledge from extraterrestrials? 364 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:12,000 Could the eye of Horus help solve the puzzle of the cosmic egg? 365 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:21,000 And might the symbol of the cosmic egg with intertwined serpents represent both the Thalamus and DNA? 366 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:27,000 The two biological traits that are most important in defining what it means to be human. 367 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:34,000 Scientists estimate that 98.8% of our DNA goes unused. 368 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:55,000 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 00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:11,000 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 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000 Or does it symbolize our connection to the cosmos? 371 00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:23,000 According to ancient astronaut theorists, there may be an even more profound explanation. 372 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:40,000 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 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:48,000 Indian texts dating back 5000 years refer to this life energy as pram. 374 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:55,000 And Chinese writings from roughly the same period contain a similar concept known as chi. 375 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:07,000 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 00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:13,000 A notion that is represented in a theory called the holographic universe. 377 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:34,000 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 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:57,000 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 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:04,000 And they are, in fact, the true essence of what it means to be alive in this universe. 380 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:21,000 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 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:34,000 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 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:43,000 Is it possible that the ancient symbol of the cosmic egg represents this notion that all things in the universe are connected? 383 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,000 When we ask, does the cosmic egg represent the Big Bang? 384 00:39:51,000 --> 00:40:00,000 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 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:10,000 And all these different aspects of the universe are ultimately emanations of this one central identity, or the cosmic egg itself. 386 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:34,000 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 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:50,000 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 00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:10,000 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 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:20,000 Might the cosmic egg be an important clue for what connects us to other entities in the universe? 390 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,000 Entities that may even be our creators. 391 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:38,000 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 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:52,000 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.
