Ancient Aliens

In sacred traditions

throughout the world,

there is a number that is considered divine.

In the Bible, there’s 12 tribes

of Israel. There’s 12 apostles for Jesus.

It is embedded

in dozens of ancient structures...

At Gobekli Tepe, there are 12 stones

focused around two huge monoliths.

...and found in the latest scientific principles.

The universe is a symphony of strings.

And that music is divided into 12 notes.

Is the recurrence of the number 12

merely chance?

Or could it hold a clue

about humanity’s extraterrestrial past?

The number 12 contains within it

the code of the power of God.

The ancient secret of tapping into something greater

and higher, something very possibly extraterrestrial.

There is a doorway

in the universe.

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything

we have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Cambridge, Massachusetts.

1914.

William James Sidis, a 16-year-old child prodigy,

becomes the youngest person to receive a degree

from Harvard University.

Six years after his graduation,

he publishes his first book,

The Animate and the Inanimate.

In the work, he introduces forward-thinking concepts

in theoretical physics, including the existence

of dark matter and the behavior of black holes.

William James Sidis

is a child prodigy, a genius,

who describes, in what he calls black bodies,

essentially the way black holes would behave.

They would be invisible because they are taking in energy.

Astrophysicists have only recently begun

to come to an understanding of black holes

that Sidis demonstrated a century ago.

But how did he come to have such extraordinary insight?

Some researchers attribute Sidis’s obsession with a base 12

or duodecimal for his revolutionary thinking.

The duodecimal system

is the number system based on 12 rather than ten.

So, instead of counting to ten,

we count to 12,

but we don’t use the word "12." We’ll say "a dozen."

For 13, we’ll say "one dozen one,

one dozen two, one dozen three."

12 seems like an organic number to us.

One, as opposed to, say, dividing our math

into the ten-based metric system,

when we stay with 12,

it’s more easily divided into more fractions

that stay in round, even numbers.

That’s why it’s beautiful on a clock hand,

that a quarter of an hour is an even 15.

Half an hour is an even 30.

If it was based on tens,

it would start getting wonky pretty quick

and requiring decimal points behind it.

The Mesopotamians

divided their year into 12 months.

The ancient Hebrews took those exact months

and the exact names of the months

and developed the Hebrew calendar.

We also see the 12 signs of the zodiac,

and they’re basically associated

with the 12 lunar cycles.

Even in biology, we find that the human body

has 12 systems,

12 meridians, 12 chakras.

In science, we know

that we have 12 cranial nerves.

The number 12 is also very important

in the planetary grid theory,

where you find exactly 12 points

around the globe

that are called vortices

that have very mysterious qualities.

For example, the Bermuda Triangle

or the South Atlantic Anomaly.

These specific 12 points

are the entry and exit points

from the Earth to the rest of the cosmos.

The number 12

is prevalent in many cultures in society.

It is symbolic for perfection, for completion.

Maybe even the mastery of the human condition.

Is it possible

that William Sidis’s obsession with the number 12

allowed him unprecedented insight

into some of the greatest mysteries of our universe?

In 1976,

theoretical physicist Burkhard Heim,

known to many in the scientific community

as the German Stephen Hawking,

introduced further groundbreaking work

centered on the number 12.

He developed a revolutionary grand unified theory

that consisted of a 12-dimensional worldview.

His theory incorporates

not only our material realities but philosophical ones,

such as how the universe began,

the nature of consciousness and even why we are here.

In the beginning, there was one equation.

One equation which, when solved,

gave us the expanding universe,

the formation of galaxies, the planet Earth,

people, maybe even love.

We find that three dimensions

is simply too small.

You can’t cram all the forces into three dimensions.

Maybe 12.

But this is one of the hottest topics in all of physics.

For many outside the scientific community,

the significance of the number 12 in mathematics

and theoretical physics is, at best,

a vaguely understood piece of trivia.

But researchers suggest this number can be found

in nearly every aspect of life,

appearing in patterns

that seem to repeat over and over.

For example, in many ancient traditions,

there exists a group of divinely appointed advisors

nearly always numbering 12.

There’s a fascinating pattern of 12s.

It’s interesting how this number

comes up again and again throughout history.

You’ve got the Arthurian legend,

the 12 knights of the Round Table.

In the Greek stories, 12 Olympians

went to war with 12 Titans.

In the Bible, you have 12

as being this important number.

There’s 12 tribes of Israel.

There’s 12 apostles for Jesus.

In the Islamic tradition, the largest Shia sect

is called the Twelvers because they have 12 imams.

So, you have to wonder, what is it behind the number 12?

Is it all coincidence?

Or could there be a higher meaning behind it?

The importance of the number 12

is reinforced in the New Testament’s Book of Acts,

which tells of the founding of the Christian church

after the crucifixion of Jesus

and after the apostle Judas

took his own life.

The apostles,

which were now down to 11-- not quite 12 yet--

had gotten together in Jerusalem to celebrate the Shavuot,

a Jewish harvest festival that occurs,

um, 50 days after the Passover.

Jesus had promised them before

that revelation would come to them.

However, they were not yet 12.

They needed a replacement for 12 before the revelation.

During this celebration,

which came to be known as the Pentecost,

the apostle Matthias is chosen to replace Judas.

Only then is divine contact made.

The disciples are awaiting

their marching orders.

They’re in a home, and a violent wind

comes through the house

and shakes the house to its foundations,

and the disciples are startled.

And then fire

descends from out of the sky.

And these tongues of fire attach themselves

to each of the disciples.

The 12 apostles gained some kind of access

to special knowledge, special power.

But only because they met as 12.

We find the number 12

as having ancient mystical significance.

It contains within it

the code of the power of God,

the ancient secret

of tapping into something greater and higher,

something very possibly extraterrestrial.

Could it be that Jesus’s 12 disciples

were, in effect, wisdom keepers,

men who were entrusted with divine,

perhaps even extraterrestrial secrets?

And if so, does it further illustrate

that there is some sort of cosmic significance

to the number 12?

Perhaps further clues can be found by examining

some of the oldest stone structures on Earth

that all feature a pattern of 12.
