Author Gregg Braden, an authority on bridging ancient wisdom and modern science, shared discoveries from his 12-year-long project to crack "The God Code" -- an intelligent message he believes is coded into the DNA of all carbon-based life.

Braden explained the DNA message was translated by finding the component elements' atomic masses, then matching those numbers with ancient alphabets. According to Braden, "all languages, ancient and modern, have always had mystical numbers linked to every letter of every alphabet." Using this methodology, he was able to break the code and reveal the message contained within our cells: "God eternal within the body." Braden said the message reads the same in biblical Hebrew, ancient Arabic and Sanskrit, and estimated the odds of this occurring naturally at 1 in 256,000.

For Braden, the message means we're here on purpose, we have a common heritage, and the intelligence that left the code in our DNA must have pre-existed all life on Earth. Braden also discussed an ancient civilization in Northern India that he believes was destroyed by prehistoric nuclear weapons. He said excavations there have uncovered sand fused into glass (a sign of intense heat), as well as radioactive skeletons.
