Code 12(en)

Melissa Tittl, investigative journalist and filmmaker, undertakes a journey to unravel an ancient code.

She interviews geneticists, archaeologists, biblical scholars and quantum physicists that have all picked up the same code in their work. Could this be the next part of our evolution? Melissa weaves together profound evidence that our greatest human potential is hidden in plain sight, waiting for us to understand how the universe really works.
