1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Ancient tales of strange otherworldly creatures.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
There was a time when giants were upon the Earth,

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Sumerians were living with their gods, the Anunnaki.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Legends of gods who came from the heavens to create mankind.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
They were, in a sense, extraterrestrials.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
They walked the Earth. They ruled people.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
And clay tablets revealing an extraterrestrial agenda.

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000
Potentially they kind of upgraded the human race

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
and used them as sort of a slave species.

10
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Did alien visitors really change the course of humanity in the distant past?

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Our ancestors received help and that help came from nowhere else.

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
But up there.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
by extraterrestrial beings.

15
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000
What if it were true?

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Did ancient aliens really help to shape our history?

17
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:12,000
And if so, might the proof be found when we examine the Anunnaki Connection?

18
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000
The Anunnaki Connection

19
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Iraq

20
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
April 10th, 2003

21
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,000
United States forces make their way to the capital city of Baghdad.

22
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Just three weeks after the launch of Operation Iraqi Freedom,

23
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
American troops attempt to create and maintain order.

24
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:13,000
But looters fill the streets, ransacking museums, and destroying thousands of ancient artifacts.

25
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Looters forced their way into the National Museum

26
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
and stole all kinds of artifacts, including musical instruments

27
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
and cuneiform tablets that told the history of ancient Sumeria,

28
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000
going back 6,000 years or more.

29
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000
The genealogies and histories of the gods were there and stories of the flood.

30
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
But now, many of these texts are missing from us.

31
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Now, it wasn't just people off the streets smashing a window and taking an artifact.

32
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
There were people wearing earpieces, a very coordinated event, penetrating double-lock doors,

33
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
and stealing instruments and jewelry and all kinds of artifacts that date back thousands of years

34
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
all the way back to the cradle of our civilization.

35
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
But why would militants destroy such precious objects of the ancient world?

36
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Was it really just a consequence of war or a deliberate attempt to obliterate forbidden knowledge of the past?

37
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Perhaps answers can be found by taking a closer look at the origins of these priceless lost treasures.

38
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,000
According to archaeologists, many of the lost Iraqi artifacts

39
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,000
dated back to the time of the Sumerians, an ancient civilization

40
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,000
that most researchers believe is the oldest in all of Mesopotamia.

41
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Mesopotamia means between rivers in Greek, referring to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers

42
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
in what is today known as Iraq.

43
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
There were four main kingdoms in Mesopotamia.

44
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Sumer was the oldest one, followed by the Kingdom of Akkad, begun by Sargon I.

45
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,000
After that, you have Babylonia and Assyria.

46
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And even though languages changed and people changed to some degree,

47
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:34,000
the culture that was established by the Sumerians really continued throughout the lifetime of Mesopotamia.

48
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Ancient Sumeria in southern Mesopotamia is often cited as the most ancient civilization, even the first civilization.

49
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:51,000
It goes back to approximately 3,000 to 4,000 BC,

50
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000
and here we see writing in the form of cuneiform tablets on clay and on stone.

51
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
The Sumerians were the ones who invented the cuneiform writing system.

52
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
The word cuneiform means wedge shaped.

53
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:13,000
It refers to a system of writing whereby scribes would take a wedge shaped stylus

54
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000
and impress signs on what clay tablets.

55
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Those tablets could later be fired and hardened and preserve what was ever written on them.

56
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Deciphering these cuneiform tablets was next to impossible,

57
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:40,000
until a key discovery of thousands of tablets at an Assyrian palace in March of 1843.

58
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:48,000
This new abundance of cuneiform inscriptions provided some of the first tangible evidence of an ancient kingdom

59
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
that had been believed to exist thousands of years ago.

60
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:03,000
A French scientist named Paul-Emile Bote found this gigantic underground area in northern Iraq and Corsebac.

61
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Opened up this incredible room filled with statues of gods and kings, all kinds of wonderful treasures,

62
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:20,000
and many written inscriptions all over the walls in the ancient Sumerian cuneiform.

63
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Within ten years, archaeologists had also discovered the ruins of the legendary Sumerian capital city of Ur,

64
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000
home of the biblical figure Abraham.

65
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,000
At the site, scientists on earth the great ziggurat of Ur,

66
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:49,000
a step pyramid shaped structure that was the administrative center of the city,

67
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:56,000
as well as cuneiform tablets and tombs adorned in gold.

68
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:06,000
So here they had found this legendary capital of the Sumerians with its gold-clad tombs and cuneiform tablets,

69
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:17,000
something that they thought was simply a myth, until the actual discovery of it proving that it was indeed historical fact.

70
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:25,000
When we look at the ancient Sumerian civilization, we attribute them with over 100 of the firsts for a modern society.

71
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Things like agriculture, science, medicine, mathematics, kingship, laws, courts, judges, schools,

72
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
literally all of this shows up in Sumerian times 6,000 years ago right out of the Stone Age.

73
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:53,000
According to mainstream researchers, Ur was sacked by their warring neighbors, the Elamites, nearly 2,000 years BC.

74
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:01,000
But some researchers believe the cuneiform texts reveal something much more than evidence of an ancient race.

75
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,000
They point to descriptions of a group of divine beings called the Anunnaki, the so-called princely offspring of God,

76
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
who according to the Sumerians descended from the sky.

77
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
The religious system of Mesopotamia was polytheism, which means that they worshiped hundreds of different gods,

78
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000
both male and female, often depicted in human form.

79
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Having personalities very much like people do.

80
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:42,000
And these gods were arranged in a kind of political hierarchy that in many ways mimicked the political systems of Mesopotamia itself.

81
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:53,000
And what this means is that you had the high gods, the heavenly gods, and you also had lesser gods who inhabited Earth and the underworld.

82
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Now according to the Sumerian text, the heavenly gods, the Anunnaki, were the supreme deities, the higher deities.

83
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:10,000
The Anunnaki are among the most mysterious and powerful beings of myth and sacred tradition.

84
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:22,000
The Sumerians describe them as humanoid, but non-physical spirit beings who had the capability of morphing or phasing into human form.

85
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:31,000
They came to Earth on a special mission to bring wisdom and also to mine certain materials from the Earth plane itself.

86
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:41,000
In cuneiform texts, the Anunnaki are described in great detail, including how they lived for hundreds of years.

87
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:49,000
They had tremendous knowledge and power over the entire world. They knew everything.

88
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
They had knowledge of all of the sciences and arts.

89
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Where they got this knowledge and where they came from is a complete mystery to archaeologists.

90
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:09,000
And you have to ask yourself, were they in fact extraterrestrials?

91
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Might the strange gods described in the cuneiform texts really have existed?

92
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,000
And if so, might they have been extraterrestrial beings?

93
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe the answer is a profound yes.

94
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:35,000
And for proof, they point to an ancient legend also found written on clay tablets.

95
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:44,000
A legend that tells of the creation of man by ancient creatures who came from the sky.

96
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Nineveh, Iraq, 1849.

97
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,000
A treasure trove of ancient cuneiform texts is uncovered.

98
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Detailing accounts of the creation of Earth, man, and the lives of the gods.

99
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:18,000
In 1849, Austen Henry Laird made an archaeological expedition to a city of Nineveh, a city that's mentioned in the Bible.

100
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,000
And in his excavations, he discovered the palace of Snakrib, who's well known from the Bible.

101
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
This really galvanized the interest of the world.

102
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Well, three years after this, his assistant found the palace of his grandson, Ashurbanipal, on the opposite side of the mount.

103
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Now, in both cases, they found archives.

104
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
And together, the archives form about 20,000 to 30,000 tablets.

105
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Recorded on seven of the tablets is the Babylonian creation myth called the Inuma Elish.

106
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Inuma Elish was probably composed in the 11th century BC, but almost certainly this story goes back to much earlier periods.

107
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:21,000
The tablets tell of a god named Marduk, who took blood from the god Kingu and mixed it with clay in order to create the Earth first humans.

108
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:29,000
When the Anunnaki create the model man, that person gets picked up as a story in the Bible and he's called Adam.

109
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:36,000
What I find interesting is that the Bible left out some of the most important details and cut the story short.

110
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:41,000
So the Sumerian tablets, the Mesopotamian tablets have the more detailed versions.

111
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:53,000
According to mainstream scholars, the Inuma Elish is simply an example of an ancient creation myth.

112
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:01,000
But ancient astronaut theorists believe that the epic story is not fiction, but based on fact.

113
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Anunnaki is a term that means from heaven to earth they came.

114
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:14,000
So the knowledge that came out from Nineveh is a complete look of a civilization that sprung up out of nowhere.

115
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Many of the tablets that were unearthed in Nineveh describe nuances into the actual mindset of the gods, these Anunnaki.

116
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
And they describe being flesh and blood beings just like us.

117
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:42,000
The Anunnaki themselves were physical beings that came here in giant spaceships that our ancestors thought were some type of divine apparitions.

118
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Our ancestors, especially the Sumerians, received help and that help came from nowhere else, but up there.

119
00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:02,000
According to ancient astronaut theorists, the Inuma Elish vividly describes not mythic gods, but other worldly beings,

120
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:10,000
alien visitors who possessed a highly advanced knowledge of genetics.

121
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:16,000
The Anunnaki began to figure out how they could create a docile worker.

122
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:28,000
So they took genes from a female hominid and after many, many trials they figured out that they could blend genes together and create the perfect being.

123
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:41,000
In a sense, what these tablets are really talking about is a genetic engineering and the changing of the DNA within human beings.

124
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Clearly something happened where we went from nothing to all of a sudden coming up with the most incredible of thought models.

125
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,000
So the question then is, how was it done?

126
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:17,000
And according to the ancient alien theory, our ancestors were given intelligence by a deliberate change of our DNA by space travelers who came here thousands of years ago.

127
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Is it possible that the Anunnaki created the human race using their own DNA?

128
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:39,000
According to ancient astronaut theorists, startling evidence can be found in the numerous similarities between the Babylonian myths and the Judeo-Christian Bible.

129
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And most notably in writings from another ancient cuneiform tablet known as the Sumerian King List.

130
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:57,000
The Sumerian King List was found on a tablet in ancient Mesopotamia and dates to somewhere around 2100 BC.

131
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000
The list contains names of 140 kings.

132
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:10,000
What's most interesting about this list is that the deities have enormously long lives.

133
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
One king, for example, ruled for 36,000 years.

134
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:23,000
And you have to wonder how could people have lived that long, but yet we have the same thing in the Bible.

135
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Methuselah and Noah lived to be eight or nine hundred years old, which seems so fantastic to us.

136
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:41,000
One explanation for why Noah and Methuselah could live so long is that it's possible that they themselves were star seeds or seeded by perhaps the Anunnaki

137
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,000
and contained their extraterrestrial genes that prolonged their lives.

138
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And so clearly we can do one of two things.

139
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Pretend that this is all myth, that this doesn't exist.

140
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Or take what our ancestors gave us at face value and then we're confronted with the possibility that we are indeed talking about incredible extraterrestrial beings

141
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:12,000
whose lifespan might have been normal for their whereabouts, but definitely were extraordinary for planet Earth.

142
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Is it possible that the Sumerian kings lived and ruled for hundreds, even thousands of years?

143
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:32,000
And if so, could these so-called ancient kings have been our extraterrestrial ancestors?

144
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
Alien beings who created man using their own DNA.

145
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,000
There are those who believe that question was already answered more than 35 years ago.

146
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,000
New York City, 1976.

147
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,000
Author and researcher Zechariah Sitchin publishes his book, The Twelfth Planet.

148
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Introducing his revolutionary interpretation of the Anunnaki deities.

149
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:24,000
After studying Sumerian cuneiform tablets for 30 years, he asserts that these so-called Sumerian gods were in fact extraterrestrials that landed on Earth in Mesopotamia more than 450,000 years ago.

150
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:40,000
According to Sitchin's translations, the Anunnaki both created human beings and also had a part in mankind's downfall, when a great flood nearly destroyed all life on Earth.

151
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
But why?

152
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:51,000
What was the purpose of the Anunnaki's earthly visitations? And why did they create the creature known as man?

153
00:18:52,000 --> 00:19:07,000
Zechariah Sitchin wrote a number of well-received books on the Anunnaki, which he believed were basically extraterrestrial entities from a planet called Nibiru, which he quite controversially believed actually existed in our solar system.

154
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,000
His theory was they upgraded the human race and used them as sort of a slave species.

155
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Sitchin understood, based on his interpretation of the tablets,

156
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:27,000
that the mission had to do with the failing atmosphere around the planet Nibiru, and that when they came, they came to mine gold.

157
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:38,000
The Anunnaki had damaged their atmosphere, and by using gold, they found that they could patch these atmospheric holes, becomes the story of our humanity.

158
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000
The Anunnaki literally came to Earth to mine the gold.

159
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:50,000
And when realizing it was such a toil to do so, created us as a worker race to do that for.

160
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Zechariah Sitchin's hypothesis that the Anunnaki came to Earth to mine gold, and then created humans to perform the task, was both bold and controversial.

161
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Needless to say, it was not embraced by mainstream scholars.

162
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:23,000
But many ancient astronaut theorists believe that Sitchin's interpretation of the tablets is not only correct, but also provides compelling evidence that the Anunnaki created mankind.

163
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:41,000
What if the whole Anunnaki story is a global story of a non-human intelligence that was manipulating genes all over the planet, that it wasn't just gold, it was a planetary base?

164
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:51,000
The Anunnaki said that they came from the Nibiru, and they believed that Nibiru is a star, a gate, and a crossing place.

165
00:20:53,000 --> 00:21:00,000
They're opening up the possibility that the Anunnaki are actually traveling the stars through stargates and wormholes.

166
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Do the descriptions of Nibiru actually offer proof of the Anunnaki's extraterrestrial origins?

167
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000
And if so, might similar tales of otherworldly beings descending from the sky,

168
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:27,000
not only in Mesopotamia, but throughout the world, provide further evidence that an advanced celestial race came to Earth in the distant past?

169
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Perhaps the answers can be found in the mysterious remains of an ancient Sumerian queen.

170
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
1927

171
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Southeast Iraq

172
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:58,000
During advanced excavations at the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur, British archaeologist Leonard Woolley discovers the remains of Queen Puabi.

173
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:11,000
According to reports, the queen is found with an unusually large skull, similar to that possessed by some Egyptian pharaohs and mummies in Peru.

174
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:20,000
For many ancient astronaut theorists, the queen's skull provides further evidence of mankind's extraterrestrial origins.

175
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:26,000
The description of the queen was highly unusual, a head that was huge.

176
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000
She was not a normal human. She may not have been full Anunnaki, she could have been a hybrid.

177
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,000
There is an effort underway to try to get genetic analysis of the bones.

178
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,000
There are characteristics that allude to Anunnaki genes.

179
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:53,000
This is what the Anunnaki supposedly looked like with these cone head type skulls.

180
00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:02,000
So we would naturally think that she is one of the original Anunnaki, or certainly an extraterrestrial human hybrid.

181
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:10,000
What's of interest of Queen Puabi is that she's a first dynasty queen and or priestess.

182
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,000
So the fact that she is first dynasty means that she's very close to the reign of the Anunnaki.

183
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
This puts her in a very unique position because she really holds a key.

184
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:30,000
She might be the evidence to suggest whether or not the ancient Anunnaki were physically real, and that specifically the Anunnaki interbred.

185
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:39,000
But if the unusual skulls found in Mesopotamia and elsewhere are really evidence of the Anunnaki's reign on Earth,

186
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000
might the legends about them descending from the sky also be true?

187
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:53,000
And if so, might the same be said for other legends that describe similar beings found in ancient texts all over the world?

188
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Angels

189
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,000
The flying serpents of Central America

190
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
The star people of the Anasazi

191
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:16,000
The notion that other worldly beings came to Earth from the heavens is one of the most common themes in ancient mythology and religion.

192
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Could the stories really have a basis in truth?

193
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:29,000
If we go back and look into ancient history, we find stories that sound very, very similar.

194
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000
They're sort of all powerful, magical, superior entities, and they come from above.

195
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,000
When you go into mythology, when you go into the star people tales,

196
00:24:43,000 --> 00:25:04,000
when you go into the Anunnaki, it is the sameness, the similarity around the planet that makes you say something has to be responsible for the same dreams, the same mythology, the same idea that life came from the stars.

197
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:16,000
All across the world, we find stories of other worldly or extraterrestrial beings coming to Earth and influencing humanity.

198
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:25,000
This race is a question. Are there different races of beings coming from the stars and influencing all these cultures?

199
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:35,000
Or is it possible that in fact it's one race of beings, the Anunnaki, who influenced all of these cultures and they told the story of the same beings?

200
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Do worldwide legends of so-called gods really help to prove that ancient man was actually in contact with extraterrestrial beings?

201
00:25:48,000 --> 00:26:01,000
And if so, is it possible that religious tales of other worldly beings interbreeding with humans support the notion that the stories of the Anunnaki are based on historical fact?

202
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:09,000
According to some researchers, the answers may lie in the Hebrew Bible's story of the Nephilim.

203
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:22,000
The Nephilim are mentioned in the sixth chapter of Genesis where we have the sons of the gods mating with the daughters of men and producing therefore superhuman folk.

204
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,000
The Nephilim are described in some translations as being giants.

205
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:40,000
The relationship between the Anunnaki and the Nephilim is really a story of two cultures, but are related.

206
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:52,000
The Anunnaki was the godcast who created primordial man to enslave them while the Nephilim were the offspring of those who came down and intermingled with humans.

207
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Now these beings could be giant in stature, but we're also told that the Nephilim possessed extraordinary supernatural knowledge that they shared with certain portions of humanity.

208
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:20,000
In Greek mythology, Zeus, the ruler of the gods, is said to have fathered two hybrid sons, Percules and Perseus, both with earthly women.

209
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:32,000
And the apocryphal book of Enoch describes beings known as the Watchers, angels who fell from heaven and procreated with humans.

210
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Could these tales actually have their origins in the ancient stories of the Anunnaki?

211
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:56,000
The story of the Anunnaki might seem like something right out of sci-fi, but when we compare the fact that every culture around the world, from the Hindus to the Greeks, the Romans, Egyptians, Mayans, all around the world, we have a similar description of these beings coming to earth from the heavens.

212
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,000
By having offspring that were then one half divine, one half human.

213
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:14,000
But if legends of gods, angels and giants coming to earth and breeding with human females are to be believed, might there need to be some evidence?

214
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Ancient astronaut theorists say the answer is yes and believe that evidence exists in the countless depictions of the Anunnaki as winged giant creatures.

215
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Evidence found all throughout the region, formerly known as Mesopotamia.

216
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:47,000
The Anunnaki, we can also see them on different carvings or on cylinder seals where they are depicted as having wings, sometimes they have faces like birds with beaks.

217
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:58,000
But they're also very human like giant beings with muscular bodies wearing things that look like wrist watches.

218
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Now is this an exact replica of what people saw?

219
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:22,000
Clearly the evidence that we have here in the Sumerian culture of wall descriptions, the artwork, the esoteric, cuneiform script, they went to great lengths to record this very momentous information.

220
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
We have to start to look at this in a fresh new light and stop thinking of it as just mythology.

221
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Looking into the Sumerian accounts, what we're finding is that the Anunnaki are described as special.

222
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,000
Their aged bands are far longer than anything a human being can have.

223
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:49,000
And afterwards, whether they disappeared into complete oblivion or whether they somehow remained here on planet earth remains a question mark.

224
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Might the similar images and descriptions of gods who descended from the heavens to rule on earth be something of a smoking gun?

225
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Proof that the Anunnaki were actual beings who came to earth from another world.

226
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:10,000
But if so, why has very little evidence of their time on earth survived?

227
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Why are they virtually forgotten?

228
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Ancient astronaut theorists believe that the answers can be found in the ancient stories of a great flood.

229
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:35,000
Sherapak, South Central Iraq, 1931.

230
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:49,000
While digging at this ancient Sumerian city, archaeologists find what they believe to be sedimentary evidence of flooding from approximately 2900 BC.

231
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:59,000
According to accounts in the Sumerian king list, King Ziusudra was the last Sumerian ruler before a great flood on earth.

232
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Excavations of the great city of Sherapak began in 1931.

233
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000
And it was from these excavations that they began putting together the story of King Ziusudra.

234
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:25,000
At the city of Sherapak, we find sediment deposits that appear to show a flood that occurred in around 2900 BC.

235
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:38,000
This is one link that shows that the biblical flood may in fact be genuine and a way in which we can ultimately prove that to be true.

236
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Many ancient cultures have the story of the flood, which is intriguing.

237
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:56,000
The fact that the Mesopotamians had a story of a flood is not surprising because Mesopotamian history is fraught with stories of trying to contain the tigers in Euphrates

238
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:03,000
and make them usable for agriculture. Until they built the canal system, there were regular floods that wiped out cities.

239
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,000
It appears that the story of Noah's Ark may not be an original Hebrew story.

240
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:20,000
In the Sumerian text, we find a much older story of Ziusudra who also survived the flood who constructed an ark and was able to save part of his family as well.

241
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Is this merely coincidence or does it suggest that in fact the biblical tale is based upon the Sumerian original?

242
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:39,000
The similarities have caused many to suggest that perhaps the biblical account is drawn in some sense from the Mesopotamian account.

243
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:48,000
My feeling is that most certainly the biblical writers adapted it for their own theological reasons.

244
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
In the biblical account, the rationale for the flood is human sinfulness.

245
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:04,000
And so what the biblical writer has done is used the flood account in order to provide a theological rationale for why the flood took place.

246
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:17,000
According to ancient Sumerian legend, the great flood was not a natural event, but was directed by the god Enlil, who had grown tired of the noise of humans.

247
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:35,000
The Anunnaki who came to earth essentially had two leaders, Enlil, who was the legal legitimate son of Anu, the king on the planet Nibiru, and his half-brother Enki, who was actually the firstborn.

248
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,000
They were in charge of the earth contingent.

249
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Procreation was out of control and Enlil gets enraged.

250
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:52,000
He decides he's going to eliminate all the humans and created what we know as Noah's flood.

251
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,000
Enlil thought that humans should be erased.

252
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
They were too troublesome.

253
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:08,000
And Enki, like Prometheus in the Greeks, took the side of the humans and said, no, they should be preserved.

254
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:23,000
According to legend, Enki warned King Siasudra to build a boat so that he might be saved from the great flood, just as Noah was directed to build an ark in the stories of the Hebrew Bible.

255
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Could both stories have their origins in historical fact?

256
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000
At Ur and other cities, we have evidence of floods, major floods.

257
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:43,000
People have associated this with the story of Noah's flood and there are flood stories in other cultures.

258
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:55,000
So I think we have a trend here where over and over people have doubted the myths, have doubted the legends, but in fact with more research, we find that they have a genuine basis.

259
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Could the similarities of these two tales be attributed to mere coincidence?

260
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Or might the story of Noah be directly based on the story of a displeased Anunnaki god, a god who was bent on destroying the hybrid creatures that inhabited the earth?

261
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Enki, the Anunnaki god, told the Sumerian king, Siasudra, that there was going to be this flood, the same flood of the Bible, and that he needed to build a craft.

262
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,000
We would say today a boat to escape it.

263
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:46,000
However, it's quite possible that the craft that he made to escape this flood was actually a spaceship, and that he went into space in order to escape the flood.

264
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Into orbit around our planet.

265
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,000
If there's one thing that unites ancient cultures all across the world, is that pretty much each and every one of them have flood mythologies attached to them.

266
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Deluge is great floods, you know, just swamping and covering the entire planet, wiping out whole races of people.

267
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,000
In most cultures, this is put down to the work of the gods or a god displeased with the human race.

268
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Now, of course, today, you know, many people place that in a UFO context, other people place it in a religious context.

269
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:34,000
But many researchers sort of view biblical accounts and stories as having a basis in fact, but of extraterrestrial origins.

270
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Both the Bible and specifically the ancient Sumerian accounts make it clear that the flood was something which the gods created.

271
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,000
The gods made this flood happen.

272
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:57,000
And so what we're seeing in the ancient accounts is basically an interaction between the Anunnaki on the one hand and our ancestors on the other hand.

273
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:07,000
The Anunnaki basically make sure that we as a species will survive because sections of the Anunnaki were intent on destroying everything on this planet.

274
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Is it possible that the Anunnaki were responsible for causing what has been called the Great Flood?

275
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:20,000
And did the flood destroy virtually all evidence of the Anunnaki's time on Earth?

276
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Perhaps the answer can be found, not here on Earth, but on another planet, more than 34 million miles away.

277
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Gale Crater, Mars.

278
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
August 6th, 2012.

279
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,000
The Curiosity lands on the Martian surface.

280
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:54,000
To evaluate the suitability of the planet for human exploration.

281
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,000
The one ton rover will find signs of surface water.

282
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
A key element for sustaining life.

283
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:16,000
I think one of the very fascinating things from a biology point of view is, let's say Mars for a period in its history was similar enough to Earth that life could start to evolve.

284
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
You could ask the question, how far did it make it?

285
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:27,000
What happened historically on Mars? When did it start to say, lose an atmosphere? When was it not able to sustain it anymore?

286
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:38,000
And we could learn a lot about the processes on Earth that were successful, by comparing it to how far it all did life get on Mars and where did it fail.

287
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:55,000
But is it possible, as some ancient astronaut theorists believe, that Curiosity's mission may also reveal evidence that the mysterious beings known as the Anunnaki also once inhabited Mars?

288
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Zachariah Sitchin theorized that the Anunnaki were coming from this planet Nibiru.

289
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:12,000
And that Mars was like a way station for them to come from Nibiru to Mars and then to Earth.

290
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:24,000
So you would think that if this is the case, that on Mars we would find some kind of traces of this Anunnaki civilization there.

291
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Are we going to find pyramids? Giant dolmens? Huge constructions on Mars? Just like we have here on Earth? I suspect we will.

292
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:52,000
If an extraterrestrial presence on Mars can be found, might a global awareness of our own Anunnaki ancestry also be possible?

293
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:07,000
According to author and Sumerian researcher Zachariah Sitchin, Nibiru, the home of the Anunnaki, is on an elliptical path that brings the planet into our orbit every 3,450 years.

294
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,000
And the next visit is projected to be in the year 2,900.

295
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Zachariah wrote in the book of the end of days about some of the prophecy of the return.

296
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,000
Next time Nibiru comes around, there should be another appearance of Anunnaki.

297
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:30,000
Some of the Anunnaki may be really excited and happy to see what developed and what we have become.

298
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Some may be upset that we've gone too far.

299
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Maybe we've overstepped our bounds. They may pass judgement on us and it could be good or it could be bad.

300
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
The ancient Egyptians spoke of the duet which was basically the crossing between this and another world.

301
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,000
And Nibiru was the Sumerian equivalent of that.

302
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
And it is a realm which exists both in this space but also somewhere else.

303
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:14,000
It's basically a bridge, a territory whereby human beings can go from here in life on Earth to the realm of the gods.

304
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
According to Sitchin's interpretation of the Sumerian texts,

305
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Nibiru also played a major role in the cataclysmic creation of Earth

306
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,000
and the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

307
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:40,000
If true, might a similar change be in store the next time we come in contact with the Anunnaki?

308
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Human reunions with the Anunnaki whenever they take place almost always result in the same thing.

309
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,000
The stimulation of human evolution.

310
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:57,000
The Anunnaki enter into human culture and consciousness bringing wisdom, knowledge and often technology.

311
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:13,000
So when we see a mass return of the Anunnaki, based upon the past, we can expect that we will once again see new technology, new wisdom and new ideas being seeded into human consciousness.

312
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:19,000
When we look at the story of the Anunnaki and their involvement in the Sumerian culture,

313
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:27,000
we have to understand that this is potentially a legacy of information and looking at humanity's record to interpret where we really do come from.

314
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:36,000
There is one common denominator in all of these stories of extraterrestrials visiting us in a remote past,

315
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
and that is their promise of a return.

316
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:47,000
How can we prepare for this return of those extraterrestrials in the future?

317
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:58,000
It's very simple, except the idea that we are not alone in the universe, number one and number two, that they were here in the past.

318
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,000
They will return the future and that hey, it's okay.

319
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Is it possible, as ancient astronaut theorists argue, that the human race was jump-started?

320
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:22,000
Or perhaps, even genetically created by extraterrestrial beings in the remote past?

321
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:29,000
Might this really be the missing piece in Darwin's theory of human evolution?

322
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:41,000
And does the notion of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth also help to reconcile the supposed conflict between science and religion?

323
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Perhaps such a profound notion is why the museums in Iraq were looted and ransacked, because the truth may be too disturbing to contemplate.

324
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:00,000
Thank you.
