1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,540 In sacred traditions throughout the world, 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,880 there is a number that is considered divine. 3 00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:10,880 In the Bible, there's 12 tribes of Israel. 4 00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:13,320 There's 12 apostles for Jesus. 5 00:00:13,420 --> 00:00:16,920 It is embedded in dozens of ancient structures. 6 00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:21,420 At Gebekli Tepe, there are 12 stones focused around 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:26,600 two huge monoliths and found in the latest scientific 8 00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:27,860 principles. 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,620 The universe is a symphony of strings, 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,560 and that music is divided into 12 notes. 11 00:00:34,660 --> 00:00:38,500 Is the recurrence of the number 12 merely chance, 12 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,540 or could it hold a clue about humanity's extraterrestrial 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,440 past? 14 00:00:44,540 --> 00:00:49,280 The number 12 contains within it the code of the power of God, 15 00:00:49,380 --> 00:00:52,880 the ancient secret of tapping into something greater 16 00:00:52,980 --> 00:00:56,980 and higher, something very possibly extraterrestrial. 17 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:03,480 There is a doorway in the universe. 18 00:01:03,580 --> 00:01:08,020 Beyond it is the promise of truth. 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,020 It demands we question everything 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,600 we have ever been taught. 21 00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,800 The evidence is all around us. 22 00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:20,940 The future is right before our eyes. 23 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,800 We are not alone. 24 00:01:23,860 --> 00:01:26,600 We have never been alone. 25 00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:40,140 Cambridge, Massachusetts, 1914. 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,580 William James Cytus, a 16-year-old child 27 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,880 prodigy, becomes the youngest person 28 00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:50,720 to receive a degree from Harvard University. 29 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,020 Six years after his graduation, he completes his first book, 30 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,560 The Antimut and the Inanimate. 31 00:01:59,660 --> 00:02:03,020 In the work, he introduces forward thinking concepts 32 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,320 in theoretical physics, including the existence 33 00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:10,860 of dark matter and the behavior of black holes. 34 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,460 William James Cytus is a child prodigy, 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,200 a genius, who describes in what he calls black bodies, 36 00:02:17,300 --> 00:02:20,340 essentially the way black holes would behave. 37 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,200 They would be invisible because they are taking in energy. 38 00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:28,640 Astrophysicists have only recently 39 00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:31,940 begun to come to an understanding of black holes 40 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,320 that Cytus demonstrated a century ago. 41 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,960 But how did he come to have such extraordinary insight? 42 00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:45,020 Some researchers attribute Cytus' obsession 43 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,300 with a base 12, or duodecimal, for his revolutionary thinking. 44 00:02:51,340 --> 00:02:55,440 The duodecimal system is the number system based on 12 45 00:02:55,540 --> 00:02:56,400 rather than 10. 46 00:02:56,500 --> 00:03:00,440 So instead of counting to 10, we count to 12. 47 00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:01,740 But we don't use the word 12. 48 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,140 We'll say a dozen. 49 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,380 For 13, we'll say one dozen, one, one dozen, two, one dozen, 50 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,880 three. 51 00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:11,180 12 seems like an organic number to us. 52 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,920 One, as opposed to, say, dividing our math 53 00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:17,520 into the 10-based metric system. 54 00:03:17,580 --> 00:03:21,640 When we stay with 12, it's more easily divided 55 00:03:21,740 --> 00:03:25,820 into more fractions that stay in round, even numbers. 56 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:27,680 That's why it's beautiful on a clock hand 57 00:03:27,780 --> 00:03:30,420 that a quarter of an hour is an even 15. 58 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,720 Half an hour is an even 30. 59 00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:36,060 If it was based on 10s, it would start getting wonky pretty 60 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,660 quick in requiring decimal points behind it. 61 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,700 The Mesopotamians divided their year into 12 months. 62 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,000 The ancient heroes took those exact months 63 00:03:46,900 --> 00:03:48,200 in the exact names of the months and developed 64 00:03:48,300 --> 00:03:50,020 the Hebrew calendar. 65 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,100 We also see the 12 signs of the zodiac. 66 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,500 And they're basically associated with the 12 lunar cycles. 67 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:04,400 Even in biology, we find that the human body has 12 systems, 68 00:04:04,500 --> 00:04:07,760 12 meridians, 12 chakras. 69 00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:13,140 In science, we know that we have 12 cranium nerves. 70 00:04:13,380 --> 00:04:17,340 The number 12 is also very important in the planetary 71 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:23,580 grid theory, where you find exactly 12 points around the globe 72 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:28,080 that are called vortices that have very mysterious qualities. 73 00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:30,220 For example, the Bermuda Triangle 74 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,020 or the South Atlantic Anomaly. 75 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,020 These specific 12 points are the entry and exit points 76 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,120 from the Earth to the rest of the cosmos. 77 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,220 The number 12 is prevalent in many cultures and society. 78 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,600 It is symbolic for perfection, for completion, maybe even 79 00:04:52,700 --> 00:04:56,160 the mastery of the human condition. 80 00:04:56,260 --> 00:04:59,440 Is it possible that William Saitis' obsession with the number 81 00:04:59,540 --> 00:05:02,900 12 allowed him unprecedented insight 82 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,480 into some of the greatest mysteries of our universe? 83 00:05:06,460 --> 00:05:11,000 In 1976, theoretical physicist Burkhard Heim, 84 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:13,400 known to many in the scientific community 85 00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:16,700 as the German Stephen Hawking, introduced further ground 86 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,100 breaking work centered on the number 12. 87 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,440 He developed a revolutionary grand unified theory 88 00:05:24,540 --> 00:05:28,280 that consisted of a 12 dimensional world view. 89 00:05:28,380 --> 00:05:31,640 His theory incorporates not only our material 90 00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:34,380 realities, but philosophical ones, 91 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,040 such as how the universe began, the nature of consciousness, 92 00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:42,480 and even why we are here. 93 00:05:42,580 --> 00:05:46,920 In the beginning, there was one equation, one equation which, 94 00:05:47,020 --> 00:05:50,060 when solved, gave us the expanding universe, 95 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,220 the formation of galaxies, the planet Earth. 96 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,560 People maybe even love. 97 00:05:55,660 --> 00:05:57,160 We find that redimensions is simply 98 00:05:57,260 --> 00:05:59,640 the only way to solve the problem. 99 00:05:59,660 --> 00:06:02,700 We find that redimensions is simply too small. 100 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,840 You can't cram all the forces into three dimensions, maybe 12. 101 00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:12,440 But this is one of the hottest topics in all of physics. 102 00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:15,280 For many outside the scientific community, 103 00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:17,880 the significance of the number 12 in mathematics 104 00:06:17,980 --> 00:06:20,560 and theoretical physics is at best 105 00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:24,260 a vaguely understood piece of trivia. 106 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,660 But researchers suggest this number 107 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,880 can be found in nearly every aspect of life, 108 00:06:29,980 --> 00:06:35,320 appearing in patterns that seem to repeat over and over. 109 00:06:35,420 --> 00:06:38,260 For example, in many ancient traditions, 110 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,660 there exists a group of divinely appointed advisors, 111 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,940 nearly always numbering 12. 112 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,980 There's a fascinating pattern of 12s. 113 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,180 It's interesting how this number comes up again and again 114 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:52,580 throughout history. 115 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,380 You've got the Arthurian legend that 12 nights 116 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,040 of the round table. 117 00:06:57,140 --> 00:06:59,340 In the Greek stories, 12 Olympians 118 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,580 went to war with 12 Titans. 119 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,320 In the Bible, you have 12 as being this important number. 120 00:07:06,420 --> 00:07:09,360 There's 12 tribes of Israel. 121 00:07:09,460 --> 00:07:12,300 There's 12 apostles for Jesus. 122 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,160 In the Islamic tradition, the largest Shia sect 123 00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:19,500 is called the 12ers because they have 12 imams. 124 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,960 So you have to wonder, what is it behind the number 12? 125 00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:25,200 Is it all coincidence or could there 126 00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:26,460 be a higher meaning behind it? 127 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,880 The importance of the number 12 is reinforced in the New 128 00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:37,520 Testament's Book of Acts, which tells of the founding 129 00:07:37,620 --> 00:07:41,240 of the Christian church after the crucifixion of Jesus 130 00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:45,420 and after the apostle Judas took his own life. 131 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,620 The apostles, which were now down to 11, 132 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,240 not quite 12 yet, had gotten together in Jerusalem 133 00:07:52,340 --> 00:07:55,520 to celebrate the Shabbiot Jewish harvest 134 00:07:55,620 --> 00:08:00,220 festival that occurs 50 days after the Passover. 135 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,020 Jesus had promised them before that revelation 136 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,220 would come to them. 137 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,660 However, they were not yet 12. 138 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,800 They needed a replacement for 12 before the revelation. 139 00:08:10,900 --> 00:08:15,340 During this celebration, which came to be known as the Pentecost, 140 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,340 the apostle Matthias is chosen to replace Judas. 141 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,900 Only then is divine contact made. 142 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,240 The disciples are awaiting their marching orders. 143 00:08:25,340 --> 00:08:27,340 They're in a home, and a violent wind 144 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,880 comes through the house and shakes the house to its foundations. 145 00:08:30,980 --> 00:08:32,820 And the disciples are startled. 146 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:38,420 And then fire descends from out of the sky. 147 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,620 And these tongues of fire attach themselves 148 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,160 to each of the disciples. 149 00:08:44,220 --> 00:08:48,280 The 12 apostles gained some kind of access 150 00:08:48,380 --> 00:08:51,260 to special knowledge, special power, 151 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,420 but only because they met as 12. 152 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,700 We find the number 12 is having ancient mystical significance. 153 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,440 It contains within it the code of the power of God, 154 00:09:04,540 --> 00:09:08,200 the ancient secret of tapping into something greater 155 00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:12,240 and higher, something very possibly extraterrestrial. 156 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,800 Could it be that Jesus' 12 disciples were, in effect, 157 00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:21,460 wisdom keepers, men who were entrusted with divine, 158 00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:25,300 perhaps even extraterrestrial secrets? 159 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,080 And if so, does it further illustrate 160 00:09:28,180 --> 00:09:32,440 that there is some sort of cosmic significance to the number 12? 161 00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:34,680 Perhaps further clues can be found 162 00:09:34,780 --> 00:09:38,580 by examining some of the oldest stone structures on Earth 163 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:41,020 that all feature a pattern of 12. 164 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:49,300 Gopbekli Tepe, Southeast Turkey. 165 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,900 According to mainstream archaeologists, 166 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,240 this ancient stone complex contains the world's oldest 167 00:09:55,340 --> 00:10:02,540 known megalithic structures, dating back at least 11,500 years. 168 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,980 Prior to the discovery, the people of this time period 169 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,280 were thought to be hunter-gatherers. 170 00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:09,960 And the ancient stone structures 171 00:10:09,980 --> 00:10:12,620 were thought to be hunter-gatherers. 172 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360 And nowhere near advanced enough to achieve such 173 00:10:15,460 --> 00:10:16,860 an impressive feat of engineering. 174 00:10:20,060 --> 00:10:23,140 And as far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 175 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,040 just as remarkable is the fact that these ancient structures, 176 00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:31,780 once again, point to the importance of the number 12. 177 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,140 This is the oldest stone circle complex in the world. 178 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:40,900 If we look at the most sophisticated of the stone 179 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:47,080 enclosures, we find that there are 12 T-shaped stones focused 180 00:10:47,180 --> 00:10:53,620 around two huge gateway-like monoliths in the center. 181 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,120 We have to ask ourselves, why 12? 182 00:10:58,220 --> 00:11:00,660 Is there something to be learned from the fact 183 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,660 that the oldest known megalithic structures on Earth 184 00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:07,560 incorporate the number 12? 185 00:11:07,660 --> 00:11:11,260 Researchers point out that the number 12 turns up 186 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,300 at many other archaeological sites around the world. 187 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,800 Other ancient sites that encode number 12 188 00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:22,440 include the stones of Stennis on the Orkney Islands, which 189 00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:25,880 dates back to at least 3,100 BC. 190 00:11:25,980 --> 00:11:30,580 Only a few stones still remain, but originally there were 12. 191 00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:35,640 We also have the 12 apostles of Ilkley Moor up in Yorkshire, 192 00:11:35,740 --> 00:11:36,980 with Strangely. 193 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,480 Many UFO sightings and strange lights 194 00:11:39,580 --> 00:11:42,220 have been recorded. 195 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,680 Other sites with the number 12 include 196 00:11:44,780 --> 00:11:47,460 Kalanish, which is up in the outer Hebrides. 197 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,660 This is a remarkable megalithic construction. 198 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,400 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest 199 00:11:55,500 --> 00:11:57,640 that a similar appearance of 12 stones 200 00:11:57,740 --> 00:11:59,900 in the stories of the Hebrew Bible 201 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:05,560 reveals the significance of the number is not merely symbolic. 202 00:12:05,660 --> 00:12:09,500 In the Book of Exodus, Moses erected 12 standing stones 203 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:14,540 at the foot of Mount Sinai after receiving the 10 commandments. 204 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,480 And in the Book of Joshua, after the Jordan River parted 205 00:12:18,580 --> 00:12:21,780 to allow the Israelites to pass, Joshua 206 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,120 had 12 stones placed where the priests had been standing who 207 00:12:25,220 --> 00:12:28,720 carried the Ark of the Covenant. 208 00:12:28,780 --> 00:12:31,440 But perhaps the most extraordinary example 209 00:12:31,540 --> 00:12:34,880 can be found in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Kings, 210 00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:37,680 when the prophet Elijah confronts the worshipers 211 00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:41,560 of the pagan god, Baal, and challenges them 212 00:12:41,660 --> 00:12:43,960 to provide proof of their god's existence 213 00:12:44,060 --> 00:12:48,300 by making a sacrificial offering. 214 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,540 Elijah has this bizarre life where 215 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,040 there are these multiple episodes where he is in contact 216 00:12:57,060 --> 00:12:59,140 with someone up in the sky. 217 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,340 Elijah builds an altar with 12 stones. 218 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,440 He puts the offering, the bull, on the altar. 219 00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:08,380 And of course, God, with God's divine fire, 220 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,320 sends the fire down to burn this offering. 221 00:13:13,420 --> 00:13:16,860 Why 12 stones? 222 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,020 Was it one stone each for the 12 tribes of Israel? 223 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,160 That's the common explanation. 224 00:13:23,260 --> 00:13:24,960 But is there something more? 225 00:13:24,980 --> 00:13:28,460 Is it that Elijah is pointing to the power of 12 226 00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,860 in its connection with the divine light or the divine fire 227 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,960 that he's about to call down? 228 00:13:35,060 --> 00:13:42,300 Elijah, Moses, Joshua, all instructed by God 229 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,280 to erect exactly 12 stones. 230 00:13:45,380 --> 00:13:47,640 But regardless of whether or not these stories 231 00:13:47,740 --> 00:13:50,280 reflect actual historical accounts, 232 00:13:50,380 --> 00:13:53,820 is there a profound message contained within this repeated 233 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,840 pattern? 234 00:13:55,940 --> 00:13:59,880 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest 235 00:13:59,980 --> 00:14:03,620 it could reflect important knowledge our ancestors possessed 236 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,960 about the very nature of the universe. 237 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:14,760 Kenton, New York, 2003. 238 00:14:14,860 --> 00:14:18,000 Mathematician Dr. Jeffrey Weeks and his colleagues 239 00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:22,400 suggest, based on analysis of maps of the Big Bang, 240 00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:25,120 that the universe takes the 12-sided shape 241 00:14:25,220 --> 00:14:28,260 of a dodecahedron. 242 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,800 A team of scientists headed by Jeffrey Weeks 243 00:14:30,900 --> 00:14:34,300 made a remarkable deduction about the universe. 244 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,900 They believed, based on cosmic radiation data 245 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,240 they've accrued, that the universe may in fact 246 00:14:40,340 --> 00:14:44,140 be a dodecahedron-shaped system, which is quite incredible. 247 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,480 So again, we have this number 12, and we have leading scientists 248 00:14:48,580 --> 00:14:51,480 saying, hey, yes, this may well be the actual shape 249 00:14:51,540 --> 00:14:54,140 of our reality. 250 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,540 So this discovery shows us that from the macro level, 251 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,980 the universe level, down to the societal level, 252 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:05,380 that the number 12 seems to be the ruling mystical number 253 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,160 of the universe. 254 00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:12,200 Curiously, the idea that the universe takes the shape 255 00:15:12,300 --> 00:15:15,560 of a dodecahedron was also theorized 256 00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:21,440 by the Greek philosopher Plato more than 2,000 years earlier. 257 00:15:21,540 --> 00:15:24,780 Plato describes an early image of the Earth 258 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,580 in something called the phato as a dodecahedron that 259 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,440 is 12 panels. 260 00:15:30,540 --> 00:15:35,620 This shape represents the ether, the life-sustaining life force 261 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,580 that animates everything. 262 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,420 The Greeks were masters of geometry, 263 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,120 and Plato and many of the Greeks thought that this was 264 00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:50,460 the key to the universe, that the universe obeyed what 265 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,480 are called magic numbers. 266 00:15:52,580 --> 00:15:55,980 Magic numbers encoded in the laws of geometry, 267 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,260 numbers which seem to be the basis of reality, 268 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,860 numbers created by the gods that were talking to us 269 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,060 through numbers. 270 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,300 What Plato described is the view that 271 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,700 is seen by the gods or by advanced souls 272 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,600 who are able to escape the physical and enter 273 00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:15,700 into the metaphysical realm. 274 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,540 Where did Plato get that knowledge? 275 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,340 It's quite possible that he came into contact with the 276 00:16:20,340 --> 00:16:23,560 higher intelligence, maybe even extraterrestrials 277 00:16:23,660 --> 00:16:28,000 that want to see us ultimately fulfill our destiny. 278 00:16:28,100 --> 00:16:31,840 Is it possible that special knowledge was imparted to Plato 279 00:16:31,940 --> 00:16:35,540 so that future generations of humans would take notice 280 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,540 and seek to better understand the cosmic significance 281 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,840 of the number 12? 282 00:16:40,940 --> 00:16:44,540 And if so, could this also be why the number 12 283 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:48,240 was incorporated in so many ancient structures? 284 00:16:48,300 --> 00:16:51,340 Perhaps further clues can be found by examining 285 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,780 curious anomalies within our own human DNA. 286 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:06,420 Columbia University, New York. 287 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,860 Within a collection held by the Institute 288 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:15,200 is an ancient Mesopotamian tablet known as Plimpton 322. 289 00:17:15,820 --> 00:17:20,660 Dated to roughly 1,800 BC, it contains insight 290 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,900 into the mathematical system of the ancient Sumerians. 291 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,400 Modern culture and civilization started in Sumeria 292 00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:32,300 6,000 years ago. 293 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,940 Almost the world's first modern city 294 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,540 and the world's first use of technology that we use today. 295 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,080 The wheeled and axled vehicle, a plow, the arch, 296 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,460 the world's first ziggurat, a pyramidal structure, 297 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,320 writing system, cuneiform, and this math system 298 00:17:50,420 --> 00:17:52,860 based on 12s and 60s. 299 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,700 Some of their mathematics still fascinate us today. 300 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,400 They were able to achieve a lot with their system 301 00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:03,540 because it was based on 60. 302 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,880 60 is 5 times 12. 303 00:18:05,980 --> 00:18:10,240 It allowed them to avoid the messiness of fractions. 304 00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:15,080 Why would they not count by tens when they have 10 digits 305 00:18:15,180 --> 00:18:20,120 on our feet and hands and seems very easy, 10, 20, 30? 306 00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:23,360 That's not the way those early ancestors of ours 307 00:18:23,460 --> 00:18:27,060 living in Sumeria the day were taught to count. 308 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,360 They were taught to count by using the thumb as a counter, 309 00:18:31,460 --> 00:18:34,300 counting the knuckles or the pads on one hand. 310 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,540 So you had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, 311 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:38,880 nine, 10, 11, 12. 312 00:18:40,980 --> 00:18:44,440 Where did the ancient Sumerians learn to count using their knuckles 313 00:18:44,540 --> 00:18:47,480 as an extra digit? 314 00:18:47,580 --> 00:18:49,820 According to their texts, this knowledge 315 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,760 was given to them by visitors who came down from the sky. 316 00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:56,760 We're able to read cuneiform, and the people of the day 317 00:18:56,860 --> 00:18:59,560 said we did not create this. 318 00:18:59,660 --> 00:19:01,660 They were gifted to us by these sky visitors 319 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,300 that we ended up calling the Anunnaki. 320 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,940 While the Sumerians learned to count in units of 12 321 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,640 by using their knuckles, in many other ancient cultures, 322 00:19:12,740 --> 00:19:16,140 they actually depicted their gods as having six fingers 323 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,820 and six toes. 324 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,080 Sacred texts and mythologies around the world 325 00:19:20,180 --> 00:19:24,780 often reference six-fingered gods or gods with six toes. 326 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,860 In the Bible, we learn of Goliath who had six fingers 327 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,660 and six toes. 328 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,700 In other traditions, for example, in America, in Chaco 329 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,460 Canyon, we see depictions in petroglyphs 330 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:42,060 of anthropomorphic beings with six fingers and six toes. 331 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,500 Newspaper, rock, and Utah, same thing. 332 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,200 Did our ancestors encounter otherworldly beings 333 00:19:51,300 --> 00:19:54,540 with 12 fingers and 12 toes? 334 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,080 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest evidence 335 00:19:57,180 --> 00:20:00,440 that such stories are true and that these beings, even 336 00:20:00,540 --> 00:20:04,080 mated with humans, still exists in our own DNA. 337 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:14,060 Yasuni National Forest, Ecuador, 1958. 338 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,560 Deep in the Amazon basin, American missionaries 339 00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:21,200 discover a previously unknown indigenous tribe centuries 340 00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:25,400 removed from human civilization. 341 00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,740 Incredibly, the Wall Runny people nearly all 342 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,340 possessed 12 fingers and 12 toes. 343 00:20:32,100 --> 00:20:34,500 In 1983, the New York Times reported 344 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,800 on the work of a medical doctor and an immunologist who 345 00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:41,040 did a study on the Wall Runny tribe of Ecuador 346 00:20:41,140 --> 00:20:42,540 and found that these people had 347 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,980 extraordinary health benefits. 348 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,220 One interesting thing that came out of the study 349 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,620 was that the operation of the extra digit 350 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,020 was essentially hardwired into its own unique part 351 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:54,920 of the brain in terms of the motor control. 352 00:20:55,020 --> 00:20:57,300 So it wasn't like it was stealing from another part 353 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,960 of the brain in order to operate. 354 00:20:59,020 --> 00:21:03,420 It was fully integrated into the sort of neurological system. 355 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,320 The medical term for the condition 356 00:21:05,420 --> 00:21:08,700 of having extra digits is polydactyly. 357 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,700 The recessive trait actually occurs in nearly one 358 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:16,400 in 1,000 live births, suggesting that it may, in fact, 359 00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:19,200 be part of the early human genome. 360 00:21:19,300 --> 00:21:21,040 And the occurrence of polydactyly 361 00:21:21,140 --> 00:21:23,240 is not entirely random. 362 00:21:23,340 --> 00:21:26,280 There are certain lineages where this trait is 363 00:21:26,340 --> 00:21:29,100 strikingly prevalent. 364 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:35,580 Brazilia Brazil, October 13, 2017. 365 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,780 Alessandro de Silva and his wife Katia 366 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,420 welcome the birth of a healthy baby boy. 367 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,360 Venetius is the 14th member of the extended family 368 00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:51,600 to be born with a distinctive trait, 12 fingers and 12 toes. 369 00:21:52,100 --> 00:21:54,100 A lot of times when people have six fingers, 370 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,100 they can't use all their digits very well, 371 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,800 but the Silva family is quite good at it, 372 00:21:58,900 --> 00:22:01,100 and they use that extra digit. 373 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,300 You have to wonder, is it some extraterrestrial gene 374 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,140 that ultimately we should all have? 375 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,520 It's an amazing thought. 376 00:22:11,620 --> 00:22:14,680 According to some ancient astronaut theorists, 377 00:22:14,780 --> 00:22:17,180 they're made of the same type of DNA. 378 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,560 They're made of the same type of DNA. 379 00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:21,580 According to some astronaut theorists, 380 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,460 there may be an even more profound explanation 381 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,460 for the rare occurrence of extra digits in humans. 382 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,560 They suggest this anomaly could be encoded into our DNA 383 00:22:32,660 --> 00:22:36,400 and designed to draw attention to the number 12. 384 00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:38,200 But why 12? 385 00:22:38,300 --> 00:22:40,300 Again, here we have the number 12, 386 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,540 and its significance is tied into just about everything. 387 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,700 I wonder if the number 12 isn't some code 388 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,700 that has been put there in the past for us to decipher, 389 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,400 and it's still waiting for us. 390 00:22:59,940 --> 00:23:01,240 A code? 391 00:23:01,340 --> 00:23:03,940 Could there really be an extraterrestrial connection 392 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,040 to the ubiquity of the number 12 393 00:23:06,140 --> 00:23:09,940 in mankind's history and culture? 394 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,400 Ancient astronaut theorists are convinced 395 00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:15,140 the answer is a profound yes, 396 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,940 and this suggests that further clues can be found 397 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,440 by examining a group of 20th century scientists who 398 00:23:22,540 --> 00:23:28,240 resemble to investigate and possibly communicate with UFOs. 399 00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:29,240 The Majestic 12. 400 00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:41,540 Dallas, Texas, October 25, 1988. 401 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,040 The Dallas Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation 402 00:23:45,140 --> 00:23:49,140 is the copy of an alleged top secret government document. 403 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:55,540 The memo dated November 18, 1952, 404 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,040 purports to be a preliminary briefing to President-elect 405 00:23:59,140 --> 00:24:01,740 Dwight D. Eisenhower. 406 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,440 It details information relating to a secret committee 407 00:24:05,540 --> 00:24:11,340 to investigate and cover up extraterrestrial encounters. 408 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,040 They prepared a manual, basically breathing documents 409 00:24:15,140 --> 00:24:17,140 for the incoming administration. 410 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,040 According to these documents, as Truman was preparing 411 00:24:21,140 --> 00:24:27,240 for the 1948 election, he assembled a group of scientists, 412 00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:30,440 and they were called Majestic 12, MJ 12, 413 00:24:30,540 --> 00:24:33,240 and they were studying UFOs. 414 00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:37,240 Since the first memo surfaced, the authenticity of the MJ 12 415 00:24:37,340 --> 00:24:41,540 documents has been hotly debated. 416 00:24:41,540 --> 00:24:45,240 But for some researchers, an equally intriguing question 417 00:24:45,340 --> 00:24:49,240 is if the group truly existed, why did Truman choose 12? 418 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,740 Harry Truman put together Majestic 12. 419 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,440 Why not Majestic 11? 420 00:24:56,540 --> 00:24:58,540 Why not Majestic 24? 421 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:05,940 Was the choosing of the number 12 for the MJ 12 a coincidence 422 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,240 or something much more significant? 423 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,540 Are they an echo back to the 12 apostles of Jesus 424 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,340 in the Christian tradition? 425 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,840 Or are the 12 sons of Jacob in the Jewish tradition? 426 00:25:20,940 --> 00:25:23,140 If there really was a top secret group 427 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,240 assembled to investigate the UFO phenomenon, 428 00:25:26,340 --> 00:25:30,240 does the fact that President Truman selected exactly 12 men 429 00:25:30,340 --> 00:25:33,340 indicate that he, or someone on his team, 430 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,040 was aware of the significance of this number? 431 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,940 Could it have been meant to signal to the extraterrestrials 432 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,040 they were investigating that they were aware of the existence 433 00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:45,340 of some kind of code? 434 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,740 According to the documents that surfaced, 435 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,940 the men who made up the Majestic 12 436 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,240 included top scientists, government officials, 437 00:25:53,340 --> 00:25:55,940 and high-ranking military personnel, 438 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,840 led by Venovar Bush. 439 00:25:58,940 --> 00:26:02,140 During World War II, Bush headed the US Office 440 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,640 of Scientific Research and Development, 441 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,740 through which almost all wartime military R&D was carried out. 442 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,940 The MJ 12 documents also detail actual contact 443 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,540 that this group made with alien entities. 444 00:26:19,340 --> 00:26:24,940 The most important document is a restricted Psalm 101 Majestic 445 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,740 12 group special operations manual. 446 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:33,040 And when you go to page 11, there 447 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:39,340 is an extraterrestrial technology classification table. 448 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,440 And this is solid confirmation that our government 449 00:26:42,540 --> 00:26:45,640 knew and was dealing with extraterrestrial entities 450 00:26:45,740 --> 00:26:49,940 and technology in the 40s. 451 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,040 And if we are on a planet where there are nonhumans 452 00:26:53,140 --> 00:26:57,740 cohabiting with us, have they finally seen that the time has 453 00:26:57,740 --> 00:27:02,640 come, that we need to be released from the idea 454 00:27:02,740 --> 00:27:05,540 that we are alone in the universe? 455 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,840 Here we have MJ 12, who are entrusted with his special knowledge. 456 00:27:10,940 --> 00:27:14,640 You have to ask yourself, were they signaling extraterrestrials? 457 00:27:14,740 --> 00:27:21,540 And this was really the first official government style 458 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,440 welcoming. 459 00:27:23,540 --> 00:27:26,140 And they were basically saying, we're ready for you. 460 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,240 Is it possible that the formation of the Majestic 12 461 00:27:31,340 --> 00:27:34,440 was an attempt to signal to a higher intelligence 462 00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:39,140 that humankind now grasps the significance of this number? 463 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,540 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 464 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,940 MJ 12 represented an important first step 465 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,540 towards a reconnection with our extraterrestrial ancestors. 466 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,840 And they suggest that humanity may be on the verge 467 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,140 of entering into a new age that was foretold in the Bible. 468 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:07,940 Patmos Island, Greece, 60 AD. 469 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,840 In a mountaintop cavern known as the Cave of the Apocalypse, 470 00:28:11,940 --> 00:28:14,640 Saint John the Theologian wrote the last book 471 00:28:14,740 --> 00:28:20,240 of the Christian New Testament, The Book of Revelation. 472 00:28:20,340 --> 00:28:22,640 In the 12th chapter, it describes 473 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,740 a heavenly realm called the New Jerusalem. 474 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,740 The Book of Revelation talks about the unveiling of a new world. 475 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,040 And so there's the earthly Jerusalem. 476 00:28:33,140 --> 00:28:36,240 This is a new Jerusalem. 477 00:28:36,340 --> 00:28:40,240 New Jerusalem had 12 gates, three facing north, 478 00:28:40,340 --> 00:28:42,940 three facing south, three facing east, three facing west, 479 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,940 one for each of the 12 tribes of Israel. 480 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:50,340 This city also had measurements that were multiples of 12. 481 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,540 That's very interesting. 482 00:28:51,540 --> 00:28:53,640 It connects with that divine 12. 483 00:28:53,740 --> 00:28:59,040 And then the ability to divide 12 into four sets of three. 484 00:28:59,140 --> 00:29:02,140 Very practical number. 485 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,540 While many take the Book of Revelation to be symbolic, 486 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,140 there is one curious aspect which leads some to believe. 487 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,940 It was inspired by an otherworldly encounter. 488 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:20,340 In Revelation, this city descends from out of the sky, 489 00:29:20,340 --> 00:29:23,240 which leads the question, could the New Jerusalem 490 00:29:23,340 --> 00:29:27,740 have been a mothership or a city that descends from the ship? 491 00:29:32,740 --> 00:29:34,940 If the Book of Revelation was inspired 492 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,740 by an extraterrestrial event, one where John the Theologian 493 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,540 witnessed a spaceship descending to Earth, 494 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,240 might this explain how John had been taught about the New 495 00:29:44,340 --> 00:29:49,240 Jerusalem and the cosmic importance of the number 12? 496 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,140 The word angel is used 12 times in the Book of Revelation. 497 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:58,140 Most of the time, these angels are telling the future. 498 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,640 They are prophesying about some end time event. 499 00:30:01,740 --> 00:30:04,640 In the Jewish, the Christian, the Muslim traditions, 500 00:30:04,740 --> 00:30:07,640 there is this idea of the world to come, 501 00:30:07,740 --> 00:30:11,640 that this world isn't the be all and end all. 502 00:30:11,740 --> 00:30:16,640 Could it be that the Revelation prophecy isn't about a physical event, 503 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:21,540 but rather the ushering in of a new age for mankind? 504 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,540 And if so, might the formation of the Majestic 12 505 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,540 have set humanity on a path towards what is referred to 506 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,540 in the Bible as the New Jerusalem? 507 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,540 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest that according 508 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,540 to traditions from the other side of the world, 509 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,540 the time of Revelation doesn't lie in the far future, 510 00:30:43,540 --> 00:30:45,440 but is happening right now. 511 00:30:50,940 --> 00:30:58,440 The Peten Basin, Guatemala, December 21, 2012. 512 00:30:58,540 --> 00:31:01,940 Thousands of people congregate at the ruins of Tikal, 513 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,440 one of the largest archaeological sites of the Maya civilization 514 00:31:05,540 --> 00:31:12,440 that thrived in the area of Central America for more than 2,000 years. 515 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:17,340 The Maya were known for being incredibly accurate at tracking time 516 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,340 by tracing the movement of celestial bodies. 517 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,340 And it is on this exact day that the famous Mayan long count calendar 518 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,340 comes to an abrupt end. 519 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:33,340 Those gathered at Tikal and other important sites around the world 520 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,340 are anticipating some earth changing event, 521 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,340 possibly even the end of the world. 522 00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:45,240 So the Mayans had this prophecy, what we would call 2012. 523 00:31:45,340 --> 00:31:52,240 And they were talking about a coming new age or a coming new thing. 524 00:31:52,340 --> 00:31:55,240 The best analogy I ever heard about the end of the Mayan calendar 525 00:31:55,340 --> 00:31:57,240 was like it was an odometer. 526 00:31:57,340 --> 00:32:00,240 It wasn't the end of the world, it was the end of a system, 527 00:32:00,340 --> 00:32:04,240 and then the beginning of a new system. 528 00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:07,240 I find it quite fascinating that the Mayan calendar system 529 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,140 contains this period of time, 144,000 days, which again, multiple of 12. 530 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:17,140 So it's something very strange going on there with this number 12 recurring. 531 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:21,140 Was the end of the Mayan calendar signalling not the end of the world, 532 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,140 but a turning point for humankind? 533 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,140 As far as ancient astronaut theorists are concerned, 534 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,140 the answer is yes. 535 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,140 And if the number 12 is some kind of alien code, 536 00:32:35,140 --> 00:32:40,040 it is profoundly linked to everything from the formation of the Majestic 12 537 00:32:40,140 --> 00:32:45,040 to the events of 12, 21, 2012. 538 00:32:45,140 --> 00:32:50,040 Many people were expecting possibly some big cataclysm, 539 00:32:50,140 --> 00:32:52,040 it was the end of the Mayan calendar. 540 00:32:52,140 --> 00:32:59,040 But instead, what happened in 2012 was a turning point in history. 541 00:32:59,140 --> 00:33:05,040 Geneva, Switzerland, July 4th, 2012. 542 00:33:05,140 --> 00:33:12,040 In the final year of the Mayan calendar, scientists working at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, 543 00:33:12,140 --> 00:33:15,040 the most complex machine ever created, 544 00:33:15,140 --> 00:33:19,040 announced the LHC's first major finding. 545 00:33:19,140 --> 00:33:25,040 The particle accelerator has uncovered a tiny bit of matter called the Higgs boson, 546 00:33:25,140 --> 00:33:32,040 an elementary force that allows particles to acquire mass to form matter that makes up our world. 547 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,940 The confirmation of the Gaunt particle, as it became known, 548 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:41,940 validated the standard model of physics, which proposes there are 12 fundamental particles. 549 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:48,940 The Gaunt particle, discovered in 2012, is the 12. 550 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,940 This is a very momentous occasion in the following sense 551 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,940 that for 40 years now people have been looking for it. 552 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,940 And it really is the particle that brings together what's called the standard model of physics 553 00:33:59,940 --> 00:34:04,840 and explains why particle and matter has mass. 554 00:34:04,940 --> 00:34:08,840 With this 12th and final fundamental particle discovered, 555 00:34:08,940 --> 00:34:16,840 scientists believe they now have a complete picture of the basic building blocks of our universe. 556 00:34:16,940 --> 00:34:22,840 We now are in a very different world to the world we were pre-2012 with all kinds of revelations in science. 557 00:34:22,940 --> 00:34:25,840 Things have really changed very fast since then. 558 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:30,740 Now that we've discovered the Higgs boson, we can actually explore what that implication is 559 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:35,740 for lots of other things we know about the physical universe, including things like dark matter, 560 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,740 matter that doesn't really interact with light and we can't see dark energy, 561 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,740 whatever it is that's causing the universe to accelerate, because we know it's accelerating, but we don't know why. 562 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,740 So a lot of these other features of physics we now may be able to get a better handle on. 563 00:34:49,740 --> 00:34:58,640 Along with this, God particle, perhaps humans on Earth are discovering exactly who we are, 564 00:34:58,740 --> 00:35:01,640 where we've come from and where we're going. 565 00:35:01,740 --> 00:35:06,640 Has humanity entered a new age of understanding? 566 00:35:06,740 --> 00:35:14,640 One shepherded in by the discovery of the 12th fundamental particle, the so-called God particle. 567 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:22,540 Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and point to another extraordinary occurrence in 2012, 568 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:28,540 one that happened just one month before the end of the Mayan calendar. 569 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:37,540 In November 2012, astronomers at the AeroCPU Observatory in Puerto Rico observed this blinding flash of light 570 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,540 that kept repeating itself. 571 00:35:40,540 --> 00:35:44,440 They had no idea what it was or actually where it was coming from. 572 00:35:44,540 --> 00:35:54,440 They continued researching it and they discovered that this bright flash was so bright that it had the power of 500 million suns. 573 00:35:54,540 --> 00:36:01,440 What the astronomers were witnessing was a fast radio burst, or FRB. 574 00:36:01,540 --> 00:36:07,440 A transient radio pulse caused by some high-energy astrophysical process not yet understood. 575 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,340 They would label this burst for the year, month and day it was discovered. 576 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:17,340 FRB 1202. 577 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:24,340 What makes FRB 1202 really interesting was that it didn't happen once, it actually repeated. 578 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:35,340 After the original pulse detected in November of 2012, it flashed again in May of 2015 and then again in June, multiple times each time. 579 00:36:35,340 --> 00:36:40,240 Which led some scientists to speculate, maybe it's not just a random occurrence, 580 00:36:40,340 --> 00:36:49,240 maybe this is actually a strong signal being sent out deliberately by some alien civilization trying to contact us. 581 00:36:49,340 --> 00:37:00,240 We have another coincidence with 12, with the FRB 1202 bursts of information that is coming to us. 582 00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:07,140 Seems to be an intelligent signal aimed at planet Earth. 583 00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:19,140 Could the extraordinary discoveries of the God particle and fast radio bursts provide evidence that 2012 really did mark a major turning point? 584 00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:24,140 One in which humanity will awaken to a profound new reality. 585 00:37:24,140 --> 00:37:32,040 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest that we are on the brink of deciphering the final part of this alien code. 586 00:37:32,140 --> 00:37:39,040 And that the key might actually be found not by means of mathematics, but with music. 587 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,940 FRB 1202. 588 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:48,940 Sanos, Greece, 535 BC. 589 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:57,940 35-year-old mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, leaves his home to travel to Egypt and study the esoteric arts. 590 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:06,940 He becomes initiated into the Egyptian priesthood and eventually founds a school where his pupils are sworn to secrecy. 591 00:38:06,940 --> 00:38:13,840 Despite his mysterious nature, Pythagoras would share with the world groundbreaking mathematical concepts. 592 00:38:13,940 --> 00:38:23,840 And he believed that through his study of both music and the movement of the planets, he had uncovered the sacred code of the universe. 593 00:38:23,940 --> 00:38:27,840 The ancients realized that they were wandering objects called planets. 594 00:38:27,940 --> 00:38:34,840 And because they moved, perhaps encoded in the motion of these planets was our destiny, the future. 595 00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:40,740 That there was a rhyme and reason to the radii of the orbits of the planets. 596 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,740 The music of the spheres. 597 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:50,740 That these spheres, when they rotate, create music according to certain ratios found in music. 598 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,740 The person who first understood the laws of music was Pythagoras. 599 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,740 He worked out the laws of music. 600 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,740 That music is divided into twelve notes. 601 00:39:01,740 --> 00:39:14,640 Pythagoras had this notion that the music of the spheres, that the harmony, the sound that moved the planets around was also the sound that would keep the body in alignment. 602 00:39:14,740 --> 00:39:25,640 So above as below that we would be in sync with the movements of our own galaxy because of this musical pattern that suffused everything. 603 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:39,540 There are twelve tones in the musical system, so there is a twelve-ness to the way the galaxies are harmonized, to the way our bodies might be in sync with everything, all through the twelve tones of a musical scale. 604 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:47,540 An octave has twelve steps to it, and that became the origin of the mathematics of music. 605 00:39:47,540 --> 00:39:56,440 Well today we believe that string theory, which is what I do for a living, is based on the harmonies of vibrating strings. 606 00:39:56,540 --> 00:40:07,440 We now believe that all the subatomic particles in the universe, neutrons, protons, quarks, are nothing but different vibrations of a tiny rubber band. 607 00:40:07,540 --> 00:40:10,440 And so what is the universe? 608 00:40:10,540 --> 00:40:13,440 The universe is a symphony of strings. 609 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:21,340 And therefore what is the mind of God that Albert Einstein wrote about so eloquently for the last thirty years of his life? 610 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:32,340 According to string theory, the mind of God would be cosmic music resonating through hyperspace. That is the mind of God. 611 00:40:33,340 --> 00:40:43,240 He is humanity's modern understanding of the physics of the universe, just now allowing us to comprehend the esoteric knowledge of our ancestors. 612 00:40:43,340 --> 00:40:51,240 Knowledge that was perhaps given to them by extraterrestrials for future generations to rediscover. 613 00:40:52,240 --> 00:41:04,140 So if the number twelve is sacred to the physical world, we should question why and in modern science we're beginning to have an answer. 614 00:41:04,240 --> 00:41:12,140 And to ultimately receive the revelation of the wisdom of God symbolized by the number twelve. 615 00:41:12,140 --> 00:41:21,040 So the number twelve is out there, but it could only be comprehended when the mind contemplates the reality of the physical world. 616 00:41:21,140 --> 00:41:31,040 And then by doing that through the power of perception, the power of perception influences space and time and therefore changes the whole physical world as we know it. 617 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:52,940 Might the repeated occurrence of the number twelve found throughout our ancient world, in groups of wisdom keepers, sacred formations and even DNA, all be part of a code left by humanity's extraterrestrial creators. 618 00:41:52,940 --> 00:42:04,840 Perhaps once we understand how to harness the power of this divine number, we will no longer simply be the people of Earth, but the people of the universe.
