Modern Man Traced To Mutant DNA - ET Intervention?
By Steve Sternberg
The Detroit News - USA Today--12-29-97
Note: This story, originally published a few weeks ago, would
seem to back the reserach and theories of Zecharia Sitchin
which state that
humans were genetically altered...by someone else.
Researchers say they've found the origin of a genetic feature
that sets modern man apart from prehistoric ancestors -- the
modern male sex chromosome.
The chromosome, a Y-shaped bundle of DNA that turns an embryo
into a male, dates to Africa 150,000 years ago, Peter
Underhill told the American Society for Human Genetics on
Thursday.
Underhill said the modern Y chromosome diverged from an
ancestral version still found in 10 percent of Ethiopians, 25
percent of Sudanese and 33 percent of the Khoisan tribe in
southern Africa. "Nobody else in the world or in Africa has
the ancestral (variant)," Underhill said.
Douglas Wallace of Emory University in Atlanta said the new
findings support a growing body of genetic research tracing
the origins of humanity "back to a common founding population
in Africa about 150,000 years ago."
The newer variant appears to have resulted from a chance DNA
mutation. This mutation involved the substitution of one
biochemical for another on one rung of the twisted ladder that
forms the Y chromosome.
It probably occurred in a single sperm that fertilized an egg,
yielding a male whose male offspring bore enough sons to endow
almost all of the 3 billion men on Earth with the new variant,
leaving the old branch to wither and all but die. This was
possible because there were just 5,000 or so humans on Earth
at the time, Underhill said.
Underhill found the mutation by examining Y chromosomes,
chemical by chemical. The team examined 900 human chromosomes
from such diverse groups as Chinese and Zulus.
What makes the genetic event even more remarkable is the
stability of the Y chromosome. At least 95 percent of the Y
chromosome never changes, even when a father's genes recombine
with a mother's genes after fertilization.

The Dark Gods - The ET Origins Of The Human Race

They quoted the Song of Moses to distinguish between the Most
High and the usurper Jehovah...
The notion that humankind was created by some type of
extraterrestrial genetic manipulation, according to some
researchers, is the actual basis of the creation stories found
in the ancient Sumerian records and the later Hebrew
scriptures. This idea is set out in detail in the work of
Israeli scholar Zecharia Sitchin, who uses the Sumerian
records to argue that modern homo sapiens were created by
beings from outer space called "Nefilim". He believes that the
Nefilim created humans by genetically modifying homo erectus,
then mated with them and argued over what to do with them.
In 1989 Zecharia Sitchin's radical hypothesis was taken a
major step further with the publication of the book The Gods
of Eden, appropriately subtitled: The chilling truth about
extraterrestrial infiltration -- and the conspiracy to keep
humankind in chains. The author, a Californian lawyer going by
the nom de plume "William Bramley" brought together all the
major themes found in earlier `ancient astronaut' research and
merged them with a unique `conspiracy view of history.'
Bramley's thesis, shocking and confronting to nearly all
established popular beliefs, is:
Human beings appear to be a slave race breeding on an isolated
planet in a small galaxy. As such, the human race was once a
source of labor for an extraterrestrial civilization and still
remains a possession today. To keep control over its
possession and to maintain Earth as something of a prison,
that other civilization has bred a never-ending conflict
between human beings, has promoted spiritual decay, and has
erected on Earth conditions of unremitting physical hardship.
This situation has existed for thousands of years and it
continues today. (The Gods of Eden)
The idea that human kind is the product of genetic engineering
carried out by extraterrestrials from outside our tiny planet
challenges both Darwinian evolution and creationism. Have the
dogmas of science and religion blinded us to the truth of our
origins?
The Christian church proclaims that a supposedly all-knowing,
all-powerful `God' created our first parents from `mud', in
much the same way as a potter moulds clay. Only when Adam and
Eve broke their Creator's rules were they subject to pain,
sickness and death. By disobeying this `God', they also
condemned their offspring -- all humanity -- to be `sinners'.
Christianity derives the unfortunate tale of Adam and Eve from
Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament.
If we interpret the Bible literally, regarding it as an
infallible historical document, we are introduced to a creator
`God' (Jehovah/Yahweh) who, by his own admission, is jealous,
wrathful and full of vengeance. The fear of the "Lord"
(Jehovah) is constantly stressed throughout the Old Testament.
He is expected to reward those who worship him and are not
delinquent in their observance of the ritual law, by
gratifying their worldly desires for material gains and
worldly power. One cannot help but note that this cruel,
bloodthirsty, and selfish `God' bears a striking resemblance
to the capricious gods of Sumeria.
This all too human `God', according to Genesis, took a walk in
the "cool of the day," unaware that his prize humans had
spoiled his creation by eating the `forbidden fruit'. After
this, having chased the first human couple out of Paradise, he
threatens their descendants with his wrath until the day when
he drowned the whole world in a flood.
This `God' Jehovah, as the historian Gibbon observed in The
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, is a "being liable to
passion and error, capricious in his favour, implacable in his
resentment, meanly jealous of his superstitious worship, and
confining his partial providence to a single people and to
this transitory life."
Research indicates that the Hebrew Bible, far from being an
infallible historical text authored by the Supreme Being, is a
heavily revised compilation of at least two entirely separate
works. Fused together in the Book of Genesis are two separate
works known to scholars as the northern "E" and southern "J"
traditions, which are supplemented by additional revisions and
inserts. In "E" (the Elohist passages) resides the pre-Judaean
tradition of the northern peoples who exalted the Most High
God El and the subordinate Elohim (Shining Ones). The "J" or
"Jehovist" passages describe a totally alien entity, the evil
and contending Jehovah (YHWH), the "Lord". According to Max J.
Dimont in Jews, God and History: "In the 5th century B.C.
Jewish priests combined portions of the `J' and `E' documents,
adding a little handiwork of their own (known as the pious
fraud), which are referred to as the `JE' documents, since God
in these passages is referred to as `Jehovah Elohim'
(translated as `Lord God')."
This is why within the Bible we encounter contradictory and
conflicting images of the Supreme God. We find Jehovah, a
tribal god, masquerading as the Supreme Being. The first
chapters of Genesis describe an awesome struggle between two
rival powers. There is the Most High God and His Elohim who
create through their own manifest spirit; and the malevolent
Lord God, Jehovah, who created a synthetic being composed of
dirt. Jehovah is actually Satanael, a Shining One who rose in
revolt against the Supreme God. Though later called the One
God, the early Hebrews knew Jehovah as only one of many
Elohim. They quoted the Song of Moses to distinguish between
the Most High and the usurper Jehovah:
When the Most High (El) gave the nations their heritage, When
He divided mankind, He fixed the territories of the peoples
According to the number of the sons of God; But Jehovah's
(YHWH) share was his people, Jacob was his inherited
possession. (Deuteronomy 32:8)
The Gnostic Christians of the early centuries AD, who
preserved the original teachings of Jesus, distinguished
between the Heavenly Father and the god of the Hebrew Bible.
Jehovah (YHWH) was not the Father revealed by Jesus. While the
Hebrew Bible revealed a tribal god, the God of Jesus was the
universal Supreme Being of all humanity. The Hebrew god was a
god of fear, Jesus' Heavenly Father was a God of love. In
fact, Jesus never referred to the Heavenly Father as Jehovah.
The Gnostic Gospel of Peter states that the Hebrews were under
the delusion that they knew the Supreme Being, but they were
ignorant of him, and knew only a false god, an impostor, whose
true nature was unknown to them.
The Gnostics, based on their thorough study of the Book of
Genesis, exposed Jehovah as Satanael the Demiurge, the
creative power of this fallen material world, who is hostile
to the Supreme Being. One Gnostic teacher told how the unknown
Father made the angels, the archangels, powers and dominions.
The world, however, and everything in it, was made by seven
particular angels, and man too is a work of the angels. These
angels he described as rebellious feeble artisans.
Saturninus (90-150), who established an important Gnostic
community in Syria, taught that the One True God, the Heavenly
Father revealed by Jesus, dwells in the highest Realm of
Light. Between this transcendent Realm of Light and our finite
world exist vast intermediate hierarchies of archangels,
angels and spiritual powers; the builders of the universe and
the fashioners of man. In foolishness and vanity Satanael
rebelled against the Realm of Light, leading astray a company
of angelic beings. Satanael and his minions contrived to trap
spiritual beings in physical bodies. Saturninus told how
Satanael's creator angels endeavoured to create physical human
bodies in the image of spiritual beings. This way they planned
to keep spiritual beings permanently attached to physical
bodies.
In Saturninus' account of creation, Satanael's creator angels
could only form a primitive android. It was necessary to
animate it with a spirit being from the upper realms. Satanael
therefore lured down into his soulless universe a light-spark
from the heavenly realms and trapped it within the material
body of Adam. According to Apelles, another early Gnostic
teacher, spirit beings were enticed from their place in the
heavenly realms by the opportunity of physical experience,
through the machinations of Jehovah, after which he bound them
in bodies of flesh. Generation succeeded generation, as the
light-sparks took embodiment in human forms. Soon these
spiritual beings became so engrossed in the material world
that they lost all awareness of their origin in the Realm of
Light. They found themselves captured in the world of the
Demiurge Satanael. Indeed, they became slaves to the
malevolent creator angels and the things of their world.
The Catholic Church, by accepting the Hebrew Bible in its
literal interpretation, mistook the tribal god Jehovah for the
Supreme Being. In imitation of old Israel, the Church set
about establishing a political and religious empire. Only the
Gnostic Christians stood in their way. The Gnostics quickly
found themselves viciously denounced as heretics, their sacred
books banned and burnt. Thanks to the miraculous discovery of
several Gnostic scriptures at Nag Hammadi in Egypt, just fifty
years ago, we can gain a better insight into the Gnostic
Christian communities of the early centuries AD.
A Gnostic work uncovered at Nag Hammadi called The Apocalypse
of Adam, is an enlightening account of the creation of Adam
and Eve. This book, dating from the first century, may be an
attempt to reconstruct the original Genesis. Adam is said to
declare:
When god had created me out of the earth along with Eve your
mother, I went about with her in a glory which she had seen in
the aeon from which we had come forth [Realm of Light]. She
taught me a word of knowledge of the eternal God. And we
resembled the great eternal angels, for we were higher than
the god who had created us and the powers with him, whom we
did not know.
Then god [the Demiurge/Satanael], the ruler of the aeons and
the powers, divided us in wrath. Then we became two aeons. And
the glory in our heart(s) left us·.After those days the
eternal knowledge of the God of Truth [Heavenly Father]
withdrew from me and your mother Eve. Since this time we
learned about dead things, like men. Then we recognised the
god [Demiurge] who had created us. For we were not strangers
to his powers. And we served him in fear and slavery.
The Gnostics understood that there are many different orders
of beings. Their writings refer to numerous hierarchies of
spiritual entities, both of the Light and of the Darkness.
These beings not only move in the subtle frequencies, but can
also take form in the physical dimension. Like the Essenes and
Jesus, the Gnostics recognised the ability of "angels" to
embody themselves in the flesh. The fallen angels were most
often termed rulers or Archons, and the chief Archon known by
various names such as Satanael, Jehovah, Ildabaoth, Sacklas,
Satan, Sammael, etc. They possessed the power to create bodies
and believed themselves to be `gods'. As a consequence of
their degraded state, they are hostile to humanity and attempt
to prevent mankind from attaining to spiritual liberation.
John A. Keel, author of Disneyland of the Gods, and Our
Haunted Planet, argues that the late 20th century interest in
extraterrestrials, aliens and UFOs is just a modern day
attempt to come to terms with the same forces other peoples
and cultures once identified as "demons" or "fallen angels":
The flying saucers are merely another frame of reference to
provide us with acceptable explanations for some of these
grotesque events. An invisible phenomenon is always stalking
us and manipulating our beliefs. We see only what it chooses
to let us see, and we usually react.
The notion that the human body is the work of malevolent
creator angels remarkably parallels the idea that
extraterrestrials engaged in genetic engineering to `create'
homo sapiens. Are we dealing with exactly the same phenomenon?
Did the Gnostics know the truth about Man's real origin and
the unseen powers that seek to keep human beings in bondage?
Are the malevolent creator angels who, say the Gnostics, stole
spiritual beings and trapped them in physical bodies, the same
as the extraterrestrial creator gods of Sumeria? Consider the
following observation of a modern Gnostic scholar, Dr. Stephen
Hoeller:
The star-angels and other ruling spirits appear as tyrannical,
limiting agencies in this Gnostic view. They are usurpers who
lord it over humanity and creation in order to enhance their
own self-importance and glory. It is incumbent upon the knower
to realize this and to extricate himself from the grasp of
these powers whenever possible. The existential predicament of
human life lies in the uncomfortable dominance to which these
lesser godlings subject the spirits of human beings, and from
which only the experiential realization of Gnosis can
extricate them. (Jung and the Lost Gospels)
The creator angels or Archons are also characterised as
terrible powers or forces of negativity and illusion. They are
cosmic Prison Warders seeking to keep their human charges
bound to the Earth. Caught up in the illusions of material
existence, Man believes he is just a body and he cannot grasp
the truth of his origin. This condition perpetuates spiritual
blindness, leaving human kind in captivity to the Prison
Warders.
However, the Gnostics never ceased from proclaiming that Man's
True Being is not his body, and the material world is
definitely not his true home. Man is a spiritual being and his
purpose is to realise his higher Self, that light-spark exiled
in the physical body. His destiny is to return to the Realm of
Light, his true home beyond the stars.
We must be reawakened to our origin, where we came from, how
we became trapped on this planet, and how we can achieve
liberation. The Gnostics urge us to escape from the trap of
the world and open our eyes to our true origin.
