that is why we are searching the genome database that has the gene sequences of almost all living organisms... there must be something that has survived all the mutations and hand me downs....", Ram.
Ram paused for a while thinking.
"...our Granpa always talked about the spiral double helix...", Ram continued.
"...huh!! What?!", Siva.
"...the shape of a DNA strand is a double helix.. spiral...", Ram.
Siva seemed stunned.
".... there was a spiral... double helix shaped spotting of a nebula.. in the center of our milky way galaxy...", Siva showing some interest for the first time in this search.
Ram was speechless.
"...Granpa always spoke about the Kurma avatar and the churning of the ocean...the churning of the ocean symbolizes the search for life that is immortality... Granpa said earth came out of the churning...the life on earth is the nectar... the immortality...the ocean was the milky ocean... and....", Ram's eyes was growing wider.
"..the remains of the churning right in our galaxy....the double helix nebula... and that too the milky way symbolizing the milky ocean....", Siva could not contain his excitement.

Kurma Avatar is a Hindu mythology, one of the Dasa avatars of Vishnu. The Kurma is a tortoise.
The Deva's(Lords of heaven) and Asuras (Enemies of Deva's) where churning the milky ocean to get the nectar of immortality, the ocean was churned with a mountain named Mandara and the rope was the snake Vasuki. The mountain was slipping and drowning into the ocean when Vishnu came as the tortoise (Kurma) and held the mountain by giving support from the bottom.

"...the churning forms a spiral shape...the double helix... oh my God!", Siva.
"Yes...the spiral double helix shaped galaxy...our DNA...the Kurma Purana... all match...our ancestors knew our creators or at least understood the process of creation", Ram.
".... the nebula is the key ...our creators must have some base, some truth hidden in some planet, star in the nebula...", Siva.
"Yes the entire double helix is the easter egg, God! And we have been carrying it in us for millions of years", Ram.
