WEBVTT 00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:13.070 static noise effect 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 00:00:55.826 --> 00:01:08.626 static noise effect 00:01:10.604 --> 00:01:14.521 [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 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 to human governors or kings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Egyptian mythology holds such a narrative 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Similarly The Bible speaks of King Sol 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 as the first human king over the people of god 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The Semeirian cuneiforms 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 also name their first human king Gilgamesh 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 To be more accurate, Gilgamesh is a transition king 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 A hybrid of human and annunaki 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 His name appears on one of the most famous of Mesopotamian artifacts 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The Sumerian King's list 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Among the shopping lists, legal agreements, business contracts 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and all the rest of the cuneiform tablets 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There appears what on first inspection 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is a dry record of a succesion of kings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 of Sumeria 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The most recent entries record reigns of 6 to 36 years 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 As we go further back on the timeline 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the kings list starts running with some odd looking information 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 because out of the blue 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we suddenly read of a dynasty 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that lasted 24,510 years 3 months and 3 and a half days 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now that precision absolutely befits Sumerian culture 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 because its from Semerian culture that 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we get 360 degrees in a circle 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 60 seconds in a minute 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 60 minutes in an hour 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so the precision doesn't surprise us 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 what is odd is that 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that dynasty of 24,500 years, 3 months and 3 and a half days 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 was divided across no more than 23 kings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 thats an average range of more than a thousand years each 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and its not a one off 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the dynasty concluded by the great flood 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 lasted 241,000 years shared by no more than 8 kings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that's an average range of more than 30,000 years 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now, some have tried to make the dates symbolic 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 or have interpreted their unit of timedifferently 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 but that doesn't quite work when its an unbroken record 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 of 6 to 36 year reigns uh 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 to 36,000 years reigns 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 all in the same unit of time 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 all in the same narrative 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the narrative begins with non-human kings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 who then hand over to human kings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and this elasticity of the length of their dynasty's 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is another suggestion that the non-human kings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 are something quite different to juman beings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it's like comparing the lifespan of a human being 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 with the lifespan of an ant 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (Narrarator) the king's list is not the only evidence 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 pointing to an extraterrestrial hypothesis 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the Sumerian version of The Tower of Babel 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 speaks of 50 technicians who employ mysterious technology 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 to dispatch 300 observers to their stations in the stars 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 right along side the genesis account 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the two narratives confirm one another 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and paint a vivid picture 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Babel, was a stargate 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 providing the observers rapid access to space stations 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The thing that got me into this whole field of research 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 was an anomalous word in the book of genesis 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I've been a preacher for more than 30 years 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I've studied and talked through the book of genesis 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 many, many times in churches all around the world 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and I've trained pastors in the skills of interpreting texts 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So I've long known about this anomalous word 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Well finally i allowed myself the time to sit down 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and really drill into what was going on 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Genesis uses two words for god 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 One is Elohim and one is Yaweh or Jehovah 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now, Yaweh is the holy name given to Moses 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in a time, centureis or millenia after all the action described 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in the stories of beginnings 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So, the fact that the word Yaweh appears in those much older stories 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that clues us that we're not reading the original version of the stories 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The stories are being retold by someone after the time of Moses 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now, there's a broad consensus among biblical scholars 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that the current version of the old testament 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the Hebrew scriptures was edited or redacted 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 sometime in the sixth century B.C.E. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and that the redacter, by putting the name Yaweh 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 into these older stories, the stories that 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Abraham and Sarah have brought with them 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 was telling the reader to regard them as God's stories 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 by using the later name 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 he's also telling the reader, this is not the original version 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Originally, they were Elohim's stories 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now that word Elohim is a very interesting word because 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it's a plural form word 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it often exhibits plural behaviors, "Let us make, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 let us make the humans to look like one of us, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we dont want them to become to much like one of us etc". 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The word Elohim often takes plural verb forms 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 its sometimes translated as god but in other places 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it gets translated as false gods or demons 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 or angels or cheiftans or land barons 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so why this enormous elasticity in the words meaning 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Well again, we have to go back to the roots of the word 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and ask why is it used that way and why does it behave like a plural 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 When you look at its component parts the word Elohim 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 means the powers or the powerful ones 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 now when you read genesis translating the word that way 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the texts change and suddenly line up with the Sumerian texts 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 One by one they confirm each others stories 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and its very clear they're not stories about gods 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 they're stories about the powerful ones in the bible 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and the sky people, the Annunaki in the Sumerian tablets 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (Narrarator) but is there any material evidence that 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 a non-human ruling presence ever occupied planet earth 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 one might reasonably ask 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Why have no physical remains of Annunaki been found? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 firstly i would note that the more we dig up ancient sites 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the greater a diversity of ancient peoples were finding 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 if you think about the hobbits that were found in Indonesia 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We called them hobbits think the proper name is homoforensis 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 or the giants of noble county 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 or the red-haired giants of North America 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 or the long skull of piraka etc. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There's a great range of people that we're 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 beginning to come across as we dig into our ancient past 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so how would we know if we found an Anunnaki 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 well one obvious possibility is by DNA testing 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so if Gilgamesh really was a human Anunnaki hybrid 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 then all we have to do is find the royal tomb and DNA test him 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 well I believe that's exactly what happened in Iraq 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in 2003 a team went in protected by American troops 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 at the beginning of 2003 Iraq invasion 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and found Gilgamesh's tomb 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Fassbender spoke to the BBC you can go on his website 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 you can read all about it 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 now the officail story is that having located 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the probable tomb site 16 years ago we decided not to investigate any further 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Similarly in 1927 the British archeologist Leonard Woolley 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 discovered a person known as Queen Puabi 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 now she was a high ranking Sumerian leader who lived around 2500 BCE 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and they had found her remains 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so agian here's another find which with today's technology 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 provides us with the oppurtunity to DNA test 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we can now test Sumerian royalty to comfirm 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 whether it was entirely human, the result, apparently we've decided not to investigate any further 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now what do you make of that? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Wouldn't you want to know? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (Narrator) But why would an extraterrestrial 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 species be interested in governing a human 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 population on planet earth? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Why would advanced beings have any interest 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in interfering with human evolution? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And managing a human population? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Why would they teach prehistoric humans about 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Mathematics, reading, legal and banking systems 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Contracts of employments, money, and pricing mechanisms? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And why would they then withdraw? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I wonder if our own behavior 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 As a species on our own planet 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Might give us an insight on what such 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 colonization might look like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Because when we colonize 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we go in with force. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We show our superiority 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And we take over. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We provide the police, we provide the army 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the education, we put the locals to work 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 We cream off the profits and the natural resources, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And basically enjoy all the benefits of 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Sitting at the top of the economic tree 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 With a powerful, visible presence to keep control 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But after awhile, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 You can get the locals to do their own 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Policing, and their own school teaching. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Let the locals become the lawyers 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and the bankers 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And appoint a local as the governor. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 As long as you have some control 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Of the value of the money 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And as long as you set all the commodity 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Prices and exchange rates 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 You don’t really need to maintain a visible presence anymore 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And so you can go home 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 You can live in another country 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And still enjoy all the benefits of sitting 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 At the top of the economic tree. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Now that’s how we do it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That’s how we’ve done it 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 From the Roman Empire 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 To the Spanish, to the Dutch, the Portuguese 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The British, the American, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That’s how we do it. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Is it possible that an E.T. presence 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 may have colonized the world in our prehistoric past 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 In a way that’s analogous to that? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That another species came 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And resided on planet earth for awhile 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 They sat at the top of the economic tree 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And enjoyed all the benefits of it 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And then withdrew in exactly the kind of way 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I’ve just mapped out. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 You know, I wonder how much like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the annunaki we are. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And as for what they were looking for... 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It could have been minerals, I believe it was. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I think there is strong evidence for 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Prehistoric mines in Southern Africa 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It may well have been minerals. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 But it could have been something else 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Something to do with the properties of planet earth 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And it might have been something to do with ourselves 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Our uniqueness as Homosapiens. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Were our ancestors really engineered as workers? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Toiling for the colonizers. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Were the annunaki only interested 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 In our planets resources 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And coldly indifferent to the progress of 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The human race? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Other ancestral narratives speak of our human origins 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 In exactly the same terms. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And yet there are other strands to the story. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The Greek Babylonian narrative of Oannes 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And the apkallū 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Speak of the visitors helping and educating 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Our human ancestors. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Native American memory reports 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Inter-dimensional and extraterrestrials visitors 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 nurturing the beginnings of human society.
