00:00:13.353 --> 00:00:25.183
mysterious music
00:00:30.536 --> 00:00:34.536
I've been a preacher for more than 30
years. I've studied and taught through
00:00:34.536 --> 00:00:38.536
the book of Genesis many, many times
in churches all around the world
00:00:38.536 --> 00:00:42.536
and I've trained pastors in the skills of
interpreting texts
00:00:42.536 --> 00:00:46.316
and it's very clear they're not stories
about Gods.
00:00:46.316 --> 00:00:49.766
They're stories about the powerful ones in
the Bible.
00:00:49.766 --> 00:00:53.996
And the sky people, the Anunnaki
and the Sumerian tablets

[Narrator] In 1896 eminent scholar
Nathaniel Schmidt
00:01:14.521 --> 00:01:18.964
was fired from his position
as Professor of Semitic languages
00:01:18.964 --> 00:01:21.564
at Colgate University
NOTE Paragraph
00:01:21.685 --> 00:01:26.735
For eleven years, this American University
had enjoyed Nathaniel Schmidt erudition
00:01:26.735 --> 00:01:28.575
and Semitic Languages
00:01:28.575 --> 00:01:34.115
He delivered numerous courses in Hebrew,
Aramaic, Coptic, Arabic, Syriac
00:01:34.115 --> 00:01:37.355
and other ancient languages besides
00:01:37.418 --> 00:01:42.028
In fact, Nathaniel Schmidt was one of
America's leading scholars in the field
00:01:43.377 --> 00:01:46.567
So why, after eleven years
of outstanding achievement
00:01:46.567 --> 00:01:48.840
was he tried for heresy,
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:52.400
and fired from his tenure in 1896?
00:01:53.328 --> 00:01:56.068
Though a devout Christian
and a Baptist pastor
00:01:56.084 --> 00:01:58.534
The authorities considered
that his recent
00:01:58.534 --> 00:02:01.373
theological papers had struck
at the very roots
00:02:01.373 --> 00:02:03.433
of two world religions
00:02:03.873 --> 00:02:06.133
Christianity and Judaism.
00:02:07.125 --> 00:02:09.655
What Nathaniel Schmidt had done wrong
00:02:09.655 --> 00:02:12.755
was read the Sumerian and Babylonian
00:02:12.755 --> 00:02:16.595
and Assyrian text and notice
that they were full
00:02:16.595 --> 00:02:20.755
of fascinating parallels.
Stories that occurred there
00:02:20.755 --> 00:02:25.475
that were uncannily similar to all
the stories and beginnings
00:02:25.475 --> 00:02:26.373
of the Bible.
00:02:26.373 --> 00:02:28.055
Stories like: Adam and Eve
00:02:28.055 --> 00:02:30.305
The Fall, Cain and Abel
00:02:30.665 --> 00:02:33.955
The Flood, the limiting of human life,
00:02:33.955 --> 00:02:36.287
the event of the Tower of Babel,
00:02:36.287 --> 00:02:39.577
and Schmidt's work demonstrated that
00:02:39.577 --> 00:02:42.987
the Sumerian accounts
00:02:42.987 --> 00:02:47.740
and those that follow it
from nearly 6000 years ago
00:02:47.740 --> 00:02:50.987
where in all probability
the source of all those familiar
00:02:50.987 --> 00:02:52.940
biblical stories.
00:02:52.940 --> 00:02:55.817
Now, that was a problem
in the 1890's
00:02:55.817 --> 00:02:57.347
because if you think about it
00:02:57.347 --> 00:03:00.087
the Church was still reading from
the after effects of
00:03:00.087 --> 00:03:02.797
[Paul] Charles Darwin's
"On the Origin of Species"
00:03:02.868 --> 00:03:04.768
and it is busy
putting together
00:03:04.768 --> 00:03:06.170
new doctrinal basis
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.268
and new doctrines
of biblical inherency
00:03:09.348 --> 00:03:10.448
to shore up the ship
00:03:10.711 --> 00:03:12.563
So the idea that the Bible
00:03:12.563 --> 00:03:15.799
might actually be based
on somebody else's stories
00:03:16.709 --> 00:03:18.476
was a bit of an embarrassment
00:03:18.476 --> 00:03:19.578
It shouldn't have been
00:03:19.578 --> 00:03:22.028
because Judaism
and Christianity
00:03:22.028 --> 00:03:23.778
both find their roots
00:03:23.778 --> 00:03:27.009
in the story of a Sumerian family.
00:03:27.249 --> 00:03:30.599
The family of Abraham and Sarah.
00:03:30.704 --> 00:03:32.894
Abraham and Sarah
grew up and spent
00:03:32.894 --> 00:03:35.709
the best part of their lives
in (research name)
00:03:35.821 --> 00:03:37.451
A Sumerian culture
00:03:37.587 --> 00:03:40.897
and so when they emigrated
from there
00:03:40.945 --> 00:03:44.465
it's hardly surprising that
they would carry with them
00:03:44.465 --> 00:03:46.315
all the stories of beginnings
00:03:46.315 --> 00:03:47.902
that they had
grown up with.
00:03:48.122 --> 00:03:50.992
and sew them
into the foundations
00:03:51.032 --> 00:03:52.313
of what was to become
00:03:52.413 --> 00:03:53.673
their culture
00:03:53.822 --> 00:03:55.132
their religion
00:03:55.222 --> 00:03:56.742
and their Bible.
00:03:57.144 --> 00:03:59.884
And so, it shouldn't be a surprise
that in the Bible
00:03:59.884 --> 00:04:03.654
we have a summary version
of all these stories
00:04:03.654 --> 00:04:07.965
that pepper the Sumerian, Babylonian
and Assyrian texts.
00:04:08.235 --> 00:04:10.525
The problem and the shock horror
00:04:10.525 --> 00:04:13.312
is that the original versions
00:04:13.312 --> 00:04:18.207
the Sumerian versions of these stories
make no mention of God at all.
00:04:19.288 --> 00:04:22.102
In the Sumerian originals
these are stories
00:04:22.102 --> 00:04:26.026
of our ancestor's contact
with another species.
00:04:26.502 --> 00:04:29.312
A species called
The Anunnakki.
00:04:30.783 --> 00:04:32.763
[Narrator] Could Judaism
and Christianity
00:04:32.763 --> 00:04:34.247
familiar stories of God
00:04:34.247 --> 00:04:38.090
really be a retelling of our
ancestor's close encounters
00:04:38.090 --> 00:04:40.627
with extraterrestrials?
00:04:41.172 --> 00:04:47.453
the cuneiform tablets which has fascinated
Nathaniel Schmidt were first on Earth in 1500.
00:04:47.456 --> 00:04:52.650
As colonial powers began to escalate the ancient
sites of Mesopotamia.
00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:59.329
Over the decades had followed some 200,000 clay tablets were uncovered.
00:04:59.649 --> 00:05:03.630
The tablets were adorned with strange etchings
or glyphs
00:05:03.630 --> 00:05:06.907
made when the clay was soft.
00:05:07.046 --> 00:05:11.716
Scholars of the day divided us to the meanings of these markings
00:05:11.716 --> 00:05:15.823
Some believe that the glyphs to be an unknown written language.
00:05:15.823 --> 00:05:17.752
Others refuse to accept this.
00:05:17.752 --> 00:05:21.172
since the tablets appear to predate any known language.
00:05:21.172 --> 00:05:25.565
They presume the markings to be no more than decoration.
00:05:25.565 --> 00:05:29.284
And so the tablets were archived,
00:05:29.284 --> 00:05:32.955
the secrets were locked away for three centuries.
00:05:33.502 --> 00:05:37.282
Until in 1835,
00:05:37.282 --> 00:05:42.008
Henry Rawranson arrived. In south western Iran.
00:05:42.618 --> 00:05:47.938
Rawranson was a military man. He was employed by the East India Tea Company.
00:05:47.938 --> 00:05:51.728
And he was in Iran helping the Shah of Iran to train his troops.
00:05:51.728 --> 00:05:55.268
As worth pausing there for a moment because if you thought that
00:05:55.268 --> 00:05:59.895
corporations rivaling nations states was something new
00:05:59.895 --> 00:06:03.238
take a look at the East India Tea company.
00:06:03.268 --> 00:06:06.988
A tea company that's able to move a standing army
00:06:06.988 --> 00:06:13.010
around the world and train the armies of nation states.
00:06:13.010 --> 00:06:16.118
That's quite a tea company.
00:06:16.118 --> 00:06:22.840
In fact, Rawranson presence in Iran wasn't part of quid pro quo for trading rights.
00:06:23.027 --> 00:06:27.107
He was there for access to the district of Behistun.
00:06:27.107 --> 00:06:32.009
He wanted to find the Behistun inscription
00:06:33.273 --> 00:06:37.333
[Narrator] the Behistun inscription was an ancient royal proclamation
00:06:37.333 --> 00:06:40.043
carved into a cliff face.
00:06:40.344 --> 00:06:47.224
It was written in three known languages Persian, Elamite and Akkadian.
00:06:47.224 --> 00:06:51.391
Which was the common language of Mesopotamian cultures.
00:06:51.435 --> 00:06:56.645
The inscription expressed all three languages in
cuneiform script.
00:06:57.892 --> 00:07:03.102
It was the translation key that cuneiform tablets have been waiting for.
00:07:03.412 --> 00:07:08.362
The memories of the Mesopotamian ancient cultures was suddenly an open book.
00:07:08.502 --> 00:07:12.326
The glyphs were not made decoration after all.
00:07:12.655 --> 00:07:13.895
They were banking records
00:07:13.895 --> 00:07:15.465
business agreements,
00:07:15.465 --> 00:07:16.865
shopping lists,
00:07:16.865 --> 00:07:18.288
contracts,
00:07:18.288 --> 00:07:19.655
recipes,
00:07:19.655 --> 00:07:20.905
inventories,
00:07:20.905 --> 00:07:27.310
royal histories and the most ancient narrative in the history of the world
00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:33.939
It was in these ancient narratives that the source of the bibles familiar stories
00:07:34.326 --> 00:07:36.236
began to emarge.
00:07:37.268 --> 00:07:41.468
At an academic level Nathaniel Schmidt was in good company,
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:46.549
He was one of the small number who began confronting us with this new layer of our history.
00:07:46.549 --> 00:07:50.964
I should mention just to reassure you that shortly after Colgate university fired him
00:07:50.964 --> 00:07:58.384
he did get a new job with Cornell University. and he was a professor of Semitic languages for full 36 years.
00:07:58.384 --> 00:08:00.465
So, he did land on his feet.
00:08:00.475 --> 00:08:06.185
His work continued to argue that the cuneiform reveal that
00:08:06.185 --> 00:08:13.194
earliest history are not about god. They are about a prehistoric contact with the Anunnaki.
00:08:15.081 --> 00:08:22.101
[Narrator] In the 20th century, the writer Zecharia Sitchin began pouring over the cuneiform texts.
00:08:22.248 --> 00:08:26.487
He highlighted the clear implications of the
Sumerian's stories.
00:08:26.505 --> 00:08:32.216
That the Anunnaki were powerful and advanced extraterrestrial species.
00:08:32.865 --> 00:08:38.685
Their arrival on planet Earth put them at the top of the terrestrial food chain.
00:08:39.395 --> 00:08:44.775
To create a local work force, the Anunnaki used sequences of their own genetic code
00:08:45.177 --> 00:08:53.849
to hybridize a primed ancestor into a human, ready to put to work for their Anunnaki masters.
00:08:54.763 --> 00:09:01.393
Such an argued the word Anunnaki means those who came from the heavens to Earth.
00:09:01.595 --> 00:09:05.925
A phrase that made clear that the
extraterrestrials origin.
00:09:06.115 --> 00:09:10.635
Zecharia Sitchin was not an academic. He was not a PHD or a professor.
00:09:10.685 --> 00:09:15.384
He had a degree from the London School of Economics and worked in commerce.
00:09:15.404 --> 00:09:19.485
The LSE I should is a pretty august institution
00:09:19.731 --> 00:09:23.681
He wrote at a popular level. Let's to say for general audience.
00:09:23.741 --> 00:09:27.511
And not with the kind of referencing and footnotes
00:09:27.511 --> 00:09:31.428
that you'd expect to see in an academic kind of tome
00:09:32.041 --> 00:09:35.761
An academic critics don't like that. They think that slack.
00:09:35.928 --> 00:09:40.288
Some might identify mistakes or bias in his work.
00:09:40.710 --> 00:09:44.280
And that's then their pretext to disregard his contributions
00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:46.568
which is an important one.
00:09:46.568 --> 00:09:51.539
Now, some writers in the field reject Sitchin's translation of the word Anunnaki
00:09:51.598 --> 00:09:55.018
and they would contend that the word usage
tells us
00:09:55.048 --> 00:09:58.824
that it simply means nobility or royalty.
00:09:58.824 --> 00:10:00.063
the rulers
00:10:01.338 --> 00:10:05.300
I'm not persuaded by that. It's not that that's not true.
00:10:05.300 --> 00:10:09.885
It's just a very partial answer. It's a very lazy explanation.
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.370
It simply doesn't ask enough of questions.
00:10:13.370 --> 00:10:16.623
Who were the rulers identified by this word?
00:10:16.623 --> 00:10:19.374
why is that word associated with the rulers?
00:10:20.303 --> 00:10:24.393
You see if yo look at the etymology of the word,
at it's roots meanings
00:10:24.393 --> 00:10:26.649
look at the component parts you have
Anu
00:10:26.649 --> 00:10:28.298
which means heavens
00:10:28.343 --> 00:10:30.503
ki which means Earth.
00:10:30.628 --> 00:10:34.098
Anunnaki are those who came from the heavens to the earth.
00:10:34.098 --> 00:10:38.142
You can follow the logic ,but even if you didn't have
the narrative
00:10:38.142 --> 00:10:40.123
imbedded in the word itself
00:10:40.185 --> 00:10:43.797
as soon as you read the cuneiforms, the stories
themselves
00:10:43.797 --> 00:10:47.441
unpack that that's exactly what was going on.
00:10:47.441 --> 00:10:51.156
And the glyph that they used to indicate the rulers
00:10:51.156 --> 00:10:54.976
who come down from the heavens at the beginning of the story
00:10:54.976 --> 00:10:57.654
that glyph simply indicates the sky
00:10:57.902 --> 00:11:01.512
So, these Anunnaki are from the heavens.
00:11:01.958 --> 00:11:03.928
The sky people.
00:11:08.410 --> 00:11:11.758
[Narrator] Many of the world's oldest mythologies claim
00:11:11.775 --> 00:11:15.235
that the governance of human society began
00:11:15.268 --> 00:11:21.240
with dominance over human beings, being
established by superior beings or gods.
00:11:21.695 --> 00:11:25.935
and then the job of rulership is handed over at a later stage
00:11:25.950 --> 00:11:27.820
to human governors or kings
00:11:27.833 --> 00:11:31.560
Egyptian mythology holds such a narrative
00:11:32.432 --> 00:11:35.532
Similarly The Bible speaks of King Sol
00:11:35.532 --> 00:11:39.137
as the first human king over the people of god
00:11:40.323 --> 00:11:42.153
The Semeirian cuneiforms
00:11:42.165 --> 00:11:46.165
also name their first human king Gilgamesh
00:11:47.734 --> 00:11:51.357
To be more accurate, Gilgamesh is a transition king
00:11:52.028 --> 00:11:55.108
A hybrid of human and annunaki
00:11:56.131 --> 00:12:00.251
His name appears on one of the most famous of Mesopotamian artifacts
00:12:01.186 --> 00:12:02.790
The Sumerian King's list
00:12:04.521 --> 00:12:07.921
Among the shopping lists, legal agreements, business contracts
00:12:07.921 --> 00:12:09.932
and all the rest of the cuneiform tablets
00:12:10.638 --> 00:12:12.609
There appears what on first inspection
00:12:13.205 --> 00:12:17.259
is a dry record of a succesion of kings
of Sumeria
00:12:18.676 --> 00:12:23.351
The most recent entries record reigns of 6 to 36 years
00:12:24.983 --> 00:12:26.811
As we go further back on the timeline
00:12:26.811 --> 00:12:30.204
the kings list starts running with some odd looking information
00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:31.516
because out of the blue
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.315
we suddenly read of a dynasty
00:12:33.315 --> 00:12:39.600
that lasted 24,510 years 3 months and 3 and a half days
00:12:39.607 --> 00:12:43.517
Now that precision absolutely befits Sumerian culture
00:12:43.517 --> 00:12:46.096
because its from Semerian culture that
00:12:46.096 --> 00:12:49.005
we get 360 degrees in a circle
00:12:49.014 --> 00:12:51.394
60 seconds in a minute
00:12:51.394 --> 00:12:53.164
60 minutes in an hour
00:12:53.164 --> 00:12:55.489
so the precision doesn't surprise us
00:12:56.733 --> 00:12:58.990
what is odd is that
00:12:58.990 --> 00:13:05.966
that dynasty of 24,500 years, 3 months and 3 and a half days
00:13:06.540 --> 00:13:12.439
was divided across no more than 23 kings
00:13:13.582 --> 00:13:18.892
thats an average range of more than a thousand years each
00:13:19.382 --> 00:13:20.609
and its not a one off
00:13:20.905 --> 00:13:23.275
the dynasty concluded by the great flood
00:13:23.277 --> 00:13:28.831
lasted 241,000 years shared by no more than 8 kings
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.460
that's an average range of more than 30,000 years
00:13:34.308 --> 00:13:37.005
Now, some have tried to make the dates symbolic
00:13:37.026 --> 00:13:41.076
or have interpreted their unit of time differently
00:13:41.084 --> 00:13:44.614
but that doesn't quite work when its an unbroken record
00:13:44.614 --> 00:13:48.408
of 6 to 36 year reigns uh
00:13:48.408 --> 00:13:50.921
to 36,000 years reigns
00:13:50.921 --> 00:13:52.895
all in the same unit of time
00:13:52.897 --> 00:13:55.357
all in the same narrative
00:13:55.613 --> 00:13:59.085
the narrative begins with non-human kings
00:13:59.093 --> 00:14:01.274
who then hand over to human kings
00:14:01.288 --> 00:14:05.326
and this elasticity of the length of their dynasty's
00:14:05.326 --> 00:14:09.133
is another suggestion that the non-human kings
00:14:09.134 --> 00:14:12.184
are something quite different to human beings
00:14:12.190 --> 00:14:15.050
it's like comparing the lifespan of a human being
00:14:15.050 --> 00:14:16.992
with the lifespan of an ant
00:14:21.607 --> 00:14:24.727
(Narrarator) the king's list is not the only evidence
00:14:24.727 --> 00:14:27.097
pointing to an extraterrestrial hypothesis
00:14:28.041 --> 00:14:30.082
the Sumerian version of The Tower of Babel
00:14:30.082 --> 00:14:34.109
speaks of 50 technicians who employ mysterious technology
00:14:34.109 --> 00:14:38.840
to dispatch 300 observers to their stations in the stars
00:14:40.312 --> 00:14:41.972
right along side the genesis account
00:14:41.981 --> 00:14:44.661
the two narratives confirm one another
00:14:44.661 --> 00:14:46.598
and paint a vivid picture
00:14:46.613 --> 00:14:49.853
Babel, was a stargate
00:14:49.853 --> 00:14:54.679
providing the observers rapid access to space stations
00:14:55.745 --> 00:14:57.925
The thing that got me into this whole field of research
00:14:57.925 --> 00:15:00.632
was an anomalous word in the book of genesis
00:15:01.769 --> 00:15:04.038
I've been a preacher for more than 30 years
00:15:04.044 --> 00:15:06.634
I've studied and talked through the book of genesis
00:15:06.634 --> 00:15:09.317
many, many times in churches all around the world
00:15:09.317 --> 00:15:12.883
and I've trained pastors in the skills of interpreting texts
00:15:13.952 --> 00:15:17.852
So I've long known about this anomalous word
00:15:18.811 --> 00:15:21.135
Well finally I allowed myself the time to sit down
00:15:21.135 --> 00:15:23.551
and really drill into what was going on
00:15:24.606 --> 00:15:27.333
Genesis uses two words for god
00:15:27.349 --> 00:15:31.189
One is Elohim and one is Yaweh or Jehovah
00:15:32.462 --> 00:15:35.939
Now, Yaweh is the holy name given to Moses
00:15:35.939 --> 00:15:41.387
in a time, centureis or millenia after all the action described
00:15:41.387 --> 00:15:43.089
in the stories of beginnings
00:15:43.089 --> 00:15:47.898
So, the fact that the word Yaweh appears in those much older stories
00:15:47.898 --> 00:15:53.058
that clues us that we're not reading the original version of the stories
00:15:53.058 --> 00:15:57.987
The stories are being retold by someone after the time of Moses
00:15:57.987 --> 00:16:00.943
Now, there's a broad consensus among biblical scholars
00:16:00.943 --> 00:16:03.843
that the current version of the old testament
00:16:03.843 --> 00:16:07.252
the Hebrew scriptures was edited or redacted
00:16:07.252 --> 00:16:11.212
sometime in the sixth century B.C.E.
00:16:11.212 --> 00:16:15.674
and that the redacter, by putting the name Yaweh
00:16:15.674 --> 00:16:18.072
into these older stories, the stories that
00:16:18.072 --> 00:16:20.497
Abraham and Sarah have brought with them
00:16:20.497 --> 00:16:24.863
was telling the reader to regard them as God's stories
00:16:25.707 --> 00:16:27.173
by using the later name
00:16:27.173 --> 00:16:31.424
he's also telling the reader, this is not the original version
00:16:34.226 --> 00:16:37.456
Originally, they were Elohim's stories
00:16:38.454 --> 00:16:41.863
Now that word Elohim is a very interesting word because
00:16:41.863 --> 00:16:44.235
it's a plural form word
00:16:44.235 --> 00:16:47.382
it often exhibits plural behaviors, "Let us make,
00:16:47.382 --> 00:16:50.755
let us make the humans to look like one of us,
00:16:50.755 --> 00:16:54.699
we dont want them to become to much like one of us etc".
00:16:54.699 --> 00:16:57.675
The word Elohim often takes plural verb forms
00:16:57.675 --> 00:17:02.498
its sometimes translated as god but in other places
00:17:02.498 --> 00:17:05.524
it gets translated as false gods or demons
00:17:05.524 --> 00:17:09.458
or angels or cheiftans or land barons
00:17:09.458 --> 00:17:14.818
so why this enormous elasticity in the words meaning
00:17:15.613 --> 00:17:19.870
Well again, we have to go back to the roots of the word
00:17:19.870 --> 00:17:25.187
and ask why is it used that way and why does it behave like a plural
00:17:26.595 --> 00:17:29.651
When you look at its component parts the word Elohim
00:17:29.651 --> 00:17:33.010
means the powers or the powerful ones
00:17:33.010 --> 00:17:36.686
now when you read genesis translating the word that way
00:17:36.686 --> 00:17:40.724
the texts change and suddenly line up with the Sumerian texts
00:17:40.724 --> 00:17:45.075
One by one they confirm each others stories
00:17:46.072 --> 00:17:48.906
and its very clear they're not stories about gods
00:17:48.906 --> 00:17:52.202
they're stories about the powerful ones in the bible
00:17:52.202 --> 00:17:56.907
and the sky people, the Annunaki in the Sumerian tablets
00:17:59.405 --> 00:18:02.246
(Narrarator) but is there any material evidence that
00:18:02.246 --> 00:18:06.089
a non-human ruling presence ever occupied planet earth
00:18:07.168 --> 00:18:08.648
one might reasonably ask
00:18:08.648 --> 00:18:13.032
Why have no physical remains of Annunaki been found?
00:18:13.892 --> 00:18:17.968
firstly I would note that the more we dig up ancient sites
00:18:17.968 --> 00:18:21.576
the greater a diversity of ancient peoples were finding
00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:27.209
if you think about the hobbits that were found in Indonesia
00:18:27.209 --> 00:18:29.955
We called them hobbits think the proper name is homoforensis
00:18:29.955 --> 00:18:32.289
or the giants of noble county
00:18:32.289 --> 00:18:35.369
or the red-haired giants of North America
00:18:35.369 --> 00:18:37.829
or the long skull of piraka etc.
00:18:37.829 --> 00:18:39.954
There's a great range of people that we're
00:18:39.954 --> 00:18:43.313
beginning to come across as we dig into our ancient past
00:18:43.313 --> 00:18:48.249
so how would we know if we found an Anunnaki
00:18:49.314 --> 00:18:52.553
well one obvious possibility is by DNA testing
00:18:53.357 --> 00:18:58.074
so if Gilgamesh really was a human Anunnaki hybrid
00:18:58.656 --> 00:19:03.369
then all we have to do is find the royal tomb and DNA test him
00:19:04.449 --> 00:19:08.779
well I believe that's exactly what happened in Iraq
00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:14.134
in 2003 a team went in protected by American troops
00:19:14.134 --> 00:19:18.075
at the beginning of 2003 Iraq invasion
00:19:18.075 --> 00:19:21.607
and found Gilgamesh's tomb
00:19:21.607 --> 00:19:24.883
Fassbender spoke to the BBC you can go on his website
00:19:24.883 --> 00:19:26.098
you can read all about it
00:19:26.798 --> 00:19:29.848
now the officail story is that having located
00:19:29.848 --> 00:19:37.000
the probable tomb site 16 years ago we decided not
to investigate any further
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:42.029
Similarly in 1927 the British archeologist Leonard Woolley
00:19:42.029 --> 00:19:45.676
discovered a person known as Queen Puabi
00:19:45.918 --> 00:19:52.598
now she was a high ranking Sumerian leader who lived
around 2500 BCE
00:19:52.598 --> 00:19:55.108
and they had found her remains
00:19:55.108 --> 00:19:58.947
so agian here's another find which with today's technology
00:19:58.947 --> 00:20:04.297
provides us with the oppurtunity to DNA test
00:20:04.297 --> 00:20:09.267
we can now test Sumerian royalty to comfirm
00:20:09.267 --> 00:20:18.479
whether it was entirely human, the result,
apparently we've decided not to investigate any further
00:20:19.982 --> 00:20:22.380
Now what do you make of that?
00:20:22.879 --> 00:20:24.688
Wouldn't you want to know?
00:20:26.567 --> 00:20:28.737
(Narrator) But why would an extraterrestrial
00:20:28.737 --> 00:20:31.632
species be interested in governing a human
00:20:31.632 --> 00:20:33.564
population on planet earth?
00:20:34.614 --> 00:20:37.805
Why would advanced beings from another planet have any interest
00:20:37.805 --> 00:20:40.124
in interfering with human evolution?
00:20:40.124 --> 00:20:42.483
And managing a human population?
00:20:43.906 --> 00:20:46.252
Why would they teach prehistoric humans about
00:20:46.252 --> 00:20:50.009
Mathematics, reading, legal and banking systems
00:20:50.009 --> 00:20:53.807
Contracts of employments, money, and pricing mechanisms?
00:20:53.807 --> 00:20:56.760
And why would they then withdraw?
00:20:59.283 --> 00:21:01.283
I wonder if our own behavior
00:21:01.283 --> 00:21:02.597
As a species on our own planet
00:21:02.597 --> 00:21:05.367
Might give us an insight on what such
00:21:05.367 --> 00:21:07.305
colonization might look like
00:21:07.305 --> 00:21:09.517
Because when we colonize
00:21:09.517 --> 00:21:11.316
we go in with force.
00:21:11.316 --> 00:21:13.218
We show our superiority
00:21:13.218 --> 00:21:14.365
And we take over.
00:21:14.365 --> 00:21:17.598
We provide the police, we provide the army
00:21:17.598 --> 00:21:20.755
the education, we put the locals to work
00:21:20.755 --> 00:21:24.559
We cream off the profits and the natural resources,
00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:26.899
And basically enjoy all the benefits of
00:21:26.899 --> 00:21:29.319
Sitting at the top of the economic tree
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:33.124
With a powerful, visible presence to keep control
00:21:34.426 --> 00:21:35.464
But after awhile,
00:21:36.481 --> 00:21:38.166
You can get the locals to do their own
00:21:38.166 --> 00:21:40.996
Policing, and their own school teaching.
00:21:40.996 --> 00:21:42.941
Let the locals become the lawyers
00:21:42.941 --> 00:21:44.014
and the bankers
00:21:44.014 --> 00:21:46.501
And appoint a local as the governor.
00:21:46.501 --> 00:21:48.877
As long as you have some control
00:21:48.877 --> 00:21:50.610
Of the value of the money
00:21:50.610 --> 00:21:52.619
And as long as you set all the commodity
00:21:52.619 --> 00:21:54.158
Prices and exchange rates
00:21:54.158 --> 00:21:58.408
You don’t really need to maintain a visible presence anymore
00:21:58.974 --> 00:22:00.864
And so you can go home
00:22:00.864 --> 00:22:01.850
You can live in another country
00:22:01.850 --> 00:22:04.509
And still enjoy all the benefits of sitting
00:22:04.509 --> 00:22:06.544
At the top of the economic tree.
00:22:06.544 --> 00:22:08.185
Now that’s how we do it.
00:22:08.185 --> 00:22:09.373
That’s how we’ve done it
00:22:09.373 --> 00:22:10.980
From the Roman Empire
00:22:10.980 --> 00:22:13.270
To the Spanish, to the Dutch, the Portuguese
00:22:13.270 --> 00:22:14.456
The British, the American,
00:22:14.456 --> 00:22:15.526
That’s how we do it.
00:22:16.292 --> 00:22:19.896
Is it possible that an E.T. presence
00:22:19.896 --> 00:22:24.187
may have colonized the world in our prehistoric past
00:22:24.187 --> 00:22:26.839
In a way that’s analogous to that?
00:22:27.421 --> 00:22:29.439
That another species came
00:22:29.439 --> 00:22:32.149
And resided on planet earth for awhile
00:22:32.149 --> 00:22:34.395
They sat at the top of the economic tree
00:22:34.395 --> 00:22:35.829
And enjoyed all the benefits of it
00:22:35.829 --> 00:22:38.566
And then withdrew in exactly the kind of way
00:22:38.566 --> 00:22:40.081
I’ve just mapped out.
00:22:40.081 --> 00:22:43.963
You know, I wonder how much like
00:22:43.963 --> 00:22:46.477
the Annunaki we are.
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:49.559
And as for what they were looking for...
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:52.339
It could have been minerals, I believe it was.
00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:54.017
I think there is strong evidence of
00:22:54.017 --> 00:22:56.318
Prehistoric mines in Southern Africa
00:22:56.318 --> 00:22:57.881
It may well have been minerals.
00:22:57.881 --> 00:23:00.391
But it could have been something else
00:23:00.391 --> 00:23:02.692
Something to do with the properties of planet earth
00:23:02.692 --> 00:23:06.651
And it might have been something to do with ourselves
00:23:06.651 --> 00:23:09.581
Our uniqueness as Homosapiens.
00:23:17.491 --> 00:23:20.744
[Narrator] Were our ancestors really engineered as workers?
00:23:20.744 --> 00:23:22.656
Toiling for the colonizers.
00:23:22.656 --> 00:23:26.236
Were the Annunaki only interested
00:23:26.236 --> 00:23:28.002
In our planets resources
00:23:28.002 --> 00:23:30.482
And coldly indifferent to the progress of
00:23:30.482 --> 00:23:31.354
The human race?
00:23:33.810 --> 00:23:36.794
Other ancestral narratives speak of our human origins
00:23:37.274 --> 00:23:39.008
In exactly the same terms.
00:23:40.018 --> 00:23:42.714
And yet there are other strands to the story.
00:23:43.953 --> 00:23:46.637
The Greek Babylonian narrative of Oannes
00:23:46.637 --> 00:23:47.693
And the apkallū
00:23:47.693 --> 00:23:50.605
Speak of the visitors helping and educating
00:23:50.605 --> 00:23:52.126
Our human ancestors.
00:23:53.561 --> 00:23:55.429
Native American memory reports
00:23:55.429 --> 00:23:58.601
Inter-dimensional and extraterrestrials visitors
00:23:58.601 --> 00:24:01.478
nurturing the beginnings of human society.
00:24:03.357 --> 00:24:08.439
Zudo mytholgy speaks of our ancestors being nurtured
by advanced beings
00:24:09.916 --> 00:24:16.068
Might the Anunnaki have had a more generous motivation
towards their human workforce
00:24:17.756 --> 00:24:21.685
My book escaping from Eden argues that our ancient texts
00:24:21.685 --> 00:24:26.447
recall a range of species that bumped up
against our ancestors
00:24:27.388 --> 00:24:30.458
and thes stories in our world mythologies
00:24:30.598 --> 00:24:34.838
tell of conflicting ideas among the visitors
00:24:35.511 --> 00:24:40.056
as to how conscious and how intelligent
they wanted humans to be
00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:44.940
Now certaintly there are some cold agendas
towards humanity
00:24:45.791 --> 00:24:48.728
That play out in our world's stories of beginnings
00:24:48.728 --> 00:24:51.037
The limiting of human life
00:24:51.037 --> 00:24:53.227
A flood to kill them all
00:24:54.143 --> 00:24:59.336
A neurological interference to take the
power of speech from us and dumb us down
00:24:59.717 --> 00:25:03.477
A bombing that destroys our
engineering and technology
00:25:03.477 --> 00:25:09.161
A nuerological interference to lower our
perceptual and cognitive abilities
00:25:10.340 --> 00:25:16.130
Now, in the Sumerian version of these stories
it's the senior Anunnaki Enlil
00:25:16.130 --> 00:25:23.606
Who actions and pushes all these negative agendas
that are somewhat hostile to human beings
00:25:24.456 --> 00:25:29.017
But htere is another agenda in the Anunnaki community
00:25:29.017 --> 00:25:34.285
There is a figure a called Enki who appears to be
the leader of the Earth project
00:25:34.285 --> 00:25:40.317
and he is junior to Enlil
he's described as Enlil's brother
00:25:40.317 --> 00:25:49.308
So in the Sumerian story humanity gets caught in the crossfire
of these mysterious beings in conflict
00:25:50.242 --> 00:25:58.352
A number of our so-called creation myths begin with
a rehabilitation of a devastated and flooded planet
00:25:58.352 --> 00:25:59.905
shrouded in darkness
00:25:59.905 --> 00:26:04.555
and that arrival is a positive interaction with this other species
00:26:04.555 --> 00:26:07.727
because they begin to nurture life on the planet
00:26:07.727 --> 00:26:11.020
They nurture animal life
they nurture human life
00:26:11.020 --> 00:26:16.119
and later in the Sumerian account its Enki
the one who's in charge of the earth project
00:26:16.769 --> 00:26:18.874
Who wants to upgrade human beings
00:26:18.874 --> 00:26:23.485
For a more enjoyable a better more conscious
kind of life
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:28.187
and there's a conflict between Enlil and Enki
00:26:28.187 --> 00:26:29.957
Over whether that should happen
00:26:29.957 --> 00:26:33.056
Enlil the CEO does not want that
00:26:33.706 --> 00:26:38.640
and so Enki breaks ranks to acheive that
upgrade for us
00:26:39.257 --> 00:26:42.475
When Enlil wants to destroy the human experiment
00:26:42.475 --> 00:26:48.425
by devastating the planet, again it's Enki
who seeks out a favored family
00:26:48.425 --> 00:26:55.393
The family of Atrahasis aka Ziusudra
aka Utnapishtem aka Noah
00:26:55.393 --> 00:26:59.805
and gives him instructions as to how to
construct an escape pod
00:26:59.805 --> 00:27:03.621
For his family and his farm so they
can reboot the project
00:27:03.621 --> 00:27:08.303
So I think we can say the Anunnaki presence
is a mixed bag for humanity
00:27:08.303 --> 00:27:13.291
We're really caught in the crossfire of this conflict
among a species
00:27:13.291 --> 00:27:19.609
Who are ambivalent about the progress
of human society
00:27:19.807 --> 00:27:25.147
There is oppression and slavery in the
Anunnaki narrative
00:27:25.147 --> 00:27:30.510
but there's also a concern for human welfare
and a nurturing of human beings
00:27:30.510 --> 00:27:32.499
So it's a mixed story
00:27:35.110 --> 00:27:37.035
(Narrarator) Today's reports of ET contact
00:27:37.035 --> 00:27:39.655
reflect a similar range of agendas
00:27:40.223 --> 00:27:44.223
Some harmful, some indifferent and some nurturing
00:27:45.626 --> 00:27:49.906
Are these contempory experiences connected with the Anunnaki
narratives?
00:27:49.906 --> 00:27:55.514
Or are people today experiencing something or someone different
00:27:57.631 --> 00:28:01.631
What difference does the Anunnaki narrative make to human beings today?
00:28:02.642 --> 00:28:05.896
If you and I are part primate and part Anunnaki
00:28:06.573 --> 00:28:07.959
How does that help us
00:28:09.081 --> 00:28:14.047
and are the Anunnaki still present or are we now
our own masters?
00:28:15.566 --> 00:28:20.577
Does the Anunnaki narrative give us an
explanation of our original separation
00:28:20.577 --> 00:28:27.729
from all other animal forms on planet Earth
but leave us with no word about our future?
00:28:29.754 --> 00:28:35.667
My hope is focused not so much on external interventions
as on our own capabilites
00:28:36.869 --> 00:28:44.139
Our ancestral narratives all speak of higher consciousness
being downgraded in our pre-historic past
00:28:44.139 --> 00:28:49.873
and to my mind that raises the possibility
that our cognitive abilities can be upgraded
00:28:50.506 --> 00:28:52.766
and our consciousness can be heightened
00:28:53.936 --> 00:28:58.319
Our mythologies speak of our perceptual feild
being limited
00:28:58.671 --> 00:29:02.881
Now, to my mind that suggests we might be able
to expand it
00:29:03.965 --> 00:29:12.167
The Anunnaki narrative speaks of us laboring
for superiors and you can see that we're hard-wired to do that
00:29:12.740 --> 00:29:20.053
but what if we were able to break down that programming
and start working for one another instead of those above us
00:29:21.583 --> 00:29:25.753
What if we de-engineered all our neurological slave settings
00:29:26.512 --> 00:29:31.062
And allowed ourselves to live freer less
fearful lives
00:29:31.062 --> 00:29:32.918
What would that look like?
00:29:37.324 --> 00:29:42.573
Many of the cultures that have curated these stories of beginnings
00:29:42.573 --> 00:29:50.611
Have also curated modalities, methods, that are designed
to re-awaken our higher state of consciousness
00:29:50.611 --> 00:29:58.768
So ancient Greek culture which had this narrative
also had the modality of a Kykeon ritual
00:29:58.768 --> 00:30:03.788
Kykeon was a kind of tea ritual aimed
at heightening the persons state of consciousness
00:30:03.788 --> 00:30:09.752
In Mesoamerica we find another tea ceremony
with exactly the same purpose
00:30:09.752 --> 00:30:16.357
If we go to indigenous Australia or to Native America
we find smoke and smoking ceremonies
00:30:16.357 --> 00:30:23.102
and similar activities in the ancient Indian cultures
that produced the Vedas
00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:29.038
Eastern Monastic traditions have disciplines of stillness
and conscious breathing
00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:37.235
And in my experience, they really do have
perches in terms of altering our state of consciousness
00:30:37.235 --> 00:30:42.522
And heightening our abilities for a better human experience
00:30:44.830 --> 00:30:49.145
(Narrator) If the Anunnaki stories represent our true
origins as a species
00:30:49.744 --> 00:30:53.284
and human beings are part earthling and part higher being
00:30:54.201 --> 00:30:58.214
What does that mean for our potential
as human beings today?
00:31:00.130 --> 00:31:04.663
Are we bound to the contracts of employment
systems of money and banking
00:31:04.663 --> 00:31:07.232
and the tryanny of hours, minutes and seconds
00:31:07.693 --> 00:31:12.386
First taught to the ancient Sumerians more than
5000 years ago
00:31:13.265 --> 00:31:17.333
Or are other ways open to us as human beings?
00:31:18.857 --> 00:31:24.313
Might, higher froms of conscousness help us
achieve a new freedom from the legacy
00:31:24.313 --> 00:31:30.705
of our enslaved past and provide a pathway
to a better human eperience
00:31:32.940 --> 00:31:38.316
