I've been a preacher for more than 30[br]years. I've studied and taught through
0:00:34.536,0:00:38.536
the book of Genesis many, many times[br]in churches all around the world
0:00:38.536,0:00:42.536
and I've trained pastors in the skills of[br]interpreting texts
0:00:42.536,0:00:46.316
and it's very clear they're not stories[br]about Gods.
0:00:46.316,0:00:49.766
They're stories about the powerful ones in[br]the Bible.
0:00:49.766,0:00:53.996
And the sky people, the Anunnaki[br]and the Sumerian tablets

[Narrator] In 1896 eminent scholar[br]Nathaniel Schmidt
0:01:14.521,0:01:18.964
was fired from his position[br]as Professor of Semitic languages
0:01:18.964,0:01:21.564
at Colgate University
0:01:21.685,0:01:26.735
For eleven years, this American University[br]had enjoyed Nathaniel Schmidt erudition
0:01:26.735,0:01:28.575
and Semitic Languages
0:01:28.575,0:01:34.115
He delivered numerous courses in Hebrew,[br]Aramaic, Coptic, Arabic, Syriac
0:01:34.115,0:01:37.355
and other ancient languages besides
0:01:37.418,0:01:42.028
In fact, Nathaniel Schmidt was one of[br]America's leading scholars in the field
0:01:43.377,0:01:46.567
So why, after eleven years[br]of outstanding achievement
0:01:46.567,0:01:48.840
was he tried for heresy,
0:01:48.840,0:01:52.400
and fired from his tenure in 1896?
0:01:53.328,0:01:56.068
Though a devout Christian[br]and a Baptist pastor
0:01:56.084,0:01:58.534
The authorities considered [br]that his recent
0:01:58.534,0:02:01.373
theological papers had struck[br]at the very roots
0:02:01.373,0:02:03.433
of two world religions
0:02:03.873,0:02:06.133
Christianity and Judaism.
0:02:07.125,0:02:09.655
What Nathaniel Schmidt had done wrong
0:02:09.655,0:02:12.755
was read the Sumerian and Babylonian
0:02:12.755,0:02:16.595
and Assyrian text and notice[br]that they were full
0:02:16.595,0:02:20.755
of fascinating parallels.[br]Stories that occurred there
0:02:20.755,0:02:25.475
that were uncannily similar to all[br]the stories and beginnings
0:02:25.475,0:02:26.373
of the Bible.
0:02:26.373,0:02:28.055
Stories like: Adam and Eve
0:02:28.055,0:02:30.305
The Fall, Cain and Abel
0:02:30.665,0:02:33.955
The Flood, the limiting of human life,
0:02:33.955,0:02:36.287
the event of the Tower of Babel,
0:02:36.287,0:02:39.577
and Schmidt's work demonstrated that
0:02:39.577,0:02:42.987
the Sumerian accounts
0:02:42.987,0:02:47.740
and those that follow it[br]from nearly 6000 years ago
0:02:47.740,0:02:50.987
where in all probability [br]the source of all those familiar
0:02:50.987,0:02:52.940
biblical stories.
0:02:52.940,0:02:55.817
Now, that was a problem[br]in the 1890's
0:02:55.817,0:02:57.347
because if you think about it
0:02:57.347,0:03:00.087
the Church was still reading from[br]the after effects of
0:03:00.087,0:03:02.797
[Paul] Charles Darwin's [br]"On the Origin of Species"
0:03:02.868,0:03:04.768
and it is busy [br]putting together
0:03:04.768,0:03:06.170
new doctrinal basis
0:03:06.240,0:03:09.268
and new doctrines [br]of biblical inherency
0:03:09.348,0:03:10.448
to shore up the ship
0:03:10.711,0:03:12.563
So the idea that the Bible [br]
0:03:12.563,0:03:15.799
might actually be based [br]on somebody else's stories
0:03:16.709,0:03:18.476
was a bit of an embarrassment
0:03:18.476,0:03:19.578
It shouldn't have been
0:03:19.578,0:03:22.028
because Judaism [br]and Christianity
0:03:22.028,0:03:23.778
both find their roots
0:03:23.778,0:03:27.009
in the story of a Sumerian family.
0:03:27.249,0:03:30.599
The family of Abraham and Sarah.
0:03:30.704,0:03:32.894
Abraham and Sarah [br]grew up and spent
0:03:32.894,0:03:35.709
the best part of their lives[br]in (research name)
0:03:35.821,0:03:37.451
A Sumerian culture
0:03:37.587,0:03:40.897
and so when they emigrated[br]from there
0:03:40.945,0:03:44.465
it's hardly surprising that[br]they would carry with them
0:03:44.465,0:03:46.315
all the stories of beginnings
0:03:46.315,0:03:47.902
that they had [br]grown up with.
0:03:48.122,0:03:50.992
and sew them[br]into the foundations
0:03:51.032,0:03:52.313
of what was to become
0:03:52.413,0:03:53.673
their culture
0:03:53.822,0:03:55.132
their religion
0:03:55.222,0:03:56.742
and their Bible.
0:03:57.144,0:03:59.884
And so, it shouldn't be a surprise[br]that in the Bible
0:03:59.884,0:04:03.654
we have a summary version[br]of all these stories
0:04:03.654,0:04:07.965
that pepper the Sumerian, Babylonian [br]and Assyrian texts.
0:04:08.235,0:04:10.525
The problem and the shock horror
0:04:10.525,0:04:13.312
is that the original versions
0:04:13.312,0:04:18.207
the Sumerian versions of these stories[br]make no mention of God at all.
0:04:19.288,0:04:22.102
In the Sumerian originals[br]these are stories
0:04:22.102,0:04:26.026
of our ancestor's contact [br]with another species.
0:04:26.502,0:04:29.312
A species called [br]The Anunnakki.
0:04:30.783,0:04:32.763
[Narrator] Could Judaism[br]and Christianity
0:04:32.763,0:04:34.247
familiar stories of God
0:04:34.247,0:04:38.090
really be a retelling of our[br]ancestor's close encounters
0:04:38.090,0:04:40.627
with extraterrestrials?
0:04:41.172,0:04:47.453
the cuneiform tablets which has fascinated [br]Nathaniel Schmidt were first on Earth in 1500.
0:04:47.456,0:04:52.650
As colonial powers began to escalate the ancient [br]sites of Mesopotamia.
0:04:53.379,0:04:59.329
Over the decades had followed some 200,000 clay tablets were uncovered.
0:04:59.649,0:05:03.630
The tablets were adorned with strange etchings[br]or glyphs
0:05:03.630,0:05:06.907
made when the clay was soft.
0:05:07.046,0:05:11.716
Scholars of the day divided us to the meanings of these markings
0:05:11.716,0:05:15.823
Some believe that the glyphs to be an unknown written language.
0:05:15.823,0:05:17.752
Others refuse to accept this.
0:05:17.752,0:05:21.172
since the tablets appear to predate any known language.
0:05:21.172,0:05:25.565
They presume the markings to be no more than decoration.
0:05:25.565,0:05:29.284
And so the tablets were archived,
0:05:29.284,0:05:32.955
the secrets were locked away for three centuries.
0:05:33.502,0:05:37.282
Until in 1835,
0:05:37.282,0:05:42.008
Henry Rawranson arrived. In south western Iran.
0:05:42.618,0:05:47.938
Rawranson was a military man. He was employed by the East India Tea Company.
0:05:47.938,0:05:51.728
And he was in Iran helping the Shah of Iran to train his troops.
0:05:51.728,0:05:55.268
As worth pausing there for a moment because if you thought that
0:05:55.268,0:05:59.895
corporations rivaling nations states was something new
0:05:59.895,0:06:03.238
take a look at the East India Tea company.
0:06:03.268,0:06:06.988
A tea company that's able to move a standing army
0:06:06.988,0:06:13.010
around the world and train the armies of nation states.
0:06:13.010,0:06:16.118
That's quite a tea company.
0:06:16.118,0:06:22.840
In fact, Rawranson presence in Iran wasn't part of quid pro quo for trading rights.
0:06:23.027,0:06:27.107
He was there for access to the district of Behistun.
0:06:27.107,0:06:32.009
He wanted to find the Behistun inscription
0:06:33.273,0:06:37.333
[Narrator] the Behistun inscription was an ancient royal proclamation
0:06:37.333,0:06:40.043
carved into a cliff face.
0:06:40.344,0:06:47.224
It was written in three known languages Persian, Elamite and Akkadian.
0:06:47.224,0:06:51.391
Which was the common language of Mesopotamian cultures.
0:06:51.435,0:06:56.645
The inscription expressed all three languages in [br]cuneiform script.
0:06:57.892,0:07:03.102
It was the translation key that cuneiform tablets have been waiting for.
0:07:03.412,0:07:08.362
The memories of the Mesopotamian ancient cultures was suddenly an open book.
0:07:08.502,0:07:12.326
The glyphs were not made decoration after all.
0:07:12.655,0:07:13.895
They were banking records
0:07:13.895,0:07:15.465
business agreements,
0:07:15.465,0:07:16.865
shopping lists,
0:07:16.865,0:07:18.288
contracts,
0:07:18.288,0:07:19.655
recipes,
0:07:19.655,0:07:20.905
inventories,
0:07:20.905,0:07:27.310
royal histories and the most ancient narrative in the history of the world
0:07:28.420,0:07:33.939
It was in these ancient narratives that the source of the bibles familiar stories
0:07:34.326,0:07:36.236
began to emarge.
0:07:37.268,0:07:41.468
At an academic level Nathaniel Schmidt was in good company,
0:07:41.519,0:07:46.549
He was one of the small number who began confronting us with this new layer of our history.
0:07:46.549,0:07:50.964
I should mention just to reassure you that shortly after Colgate university fired him
0:07:50.964,0:07:58.384
he did get a new job with Cornell University. and he was a professor of Semitic languages for full 36 years.
0:07:58.384,0:08:00.465
So, he did land on his feet.
0:08:00.475,0:08:06.185
His work continued to argue that the cuneiform reveal that
0:08:06.185,0:08:13.194
earliest history are not about god. They are about a prehistoric contact with the Anunnaki.
0:08:15.081,0:08:22.101
[Narrator] In the 20th century, the writer Zecharia Sitchin began pouring over the cuneiform texts.
0:08:22.248,0:08:26.487
He highlighted the clear implications of the[br]Sumerian's stories.
0:08:26.505,0:08:32.216
That the Anunnaki were powerful and advanced extraterrestrial species.
0:08:32.865,0:08:38.685
Their arrival on planet Earth put them at the top of the terrestrial food chain.
0:08:39.395,0:08:44.775
To create a local work force, the Anunnaki used sequences of their own genetic code
0:08:45.177,0:08:53.849
to hybridize a primed ancestor into a human, ready to put to work for their Anunnaki masters.
0:08:54.763,0:09:01.393
Such an argued the word Anunnaki means those who came from the heavens to Earth.
0:09:01.595,0:09:05.925
A phrase that made clear that the [br]extraterrestrials origin.
0:09:06.115,0:09:10.635
Zecharia Sitchin was not an academic. He was not a PHD or a professor.
0:09:10.685,0:09:15.384
He had a degree from the London School of Economics and worked in commerce.
0:09:15.404,0:09:19.485
The LSE I should is a pretty august institution
0:09:19.731,0:09:23.681
He wrote at a popular level. Let's to say for general audience.
0:09:23.741,0:09:27.511
And not with the kind of referencing and footnotes
0:09:27.511,0:09:31.428
that you'd expect to see in an academic kind of tome
0:09:32.041,0:09:35.761
An academic critics don't like that. They think that slack.
0:09:35.928,0:09:40.288
Some might identify mistakes or bias in his work.
0:09:40.710,0:09:44.280
And that's then their pretext to disregard his contributions
0:09:44.280,0:09:46.568
which is an important one.
0:09:46.568,0:09:51.539
Now, some writers in the field reject Sitchin's translation of the word Anunnaki
0:09:51.598,0:09:55.018
and they would contend that the word usage [br]tells us
0:09:55.048,0:09:58.824
that it simply means nobility or royalty.
0:09:58.824,0:10:00.063
the rulers
0:10:01.338,0:10:05.300
I'm not persuaded by that. It's not that that's not true.
0:10:05.300,0:10:09.885
It's just a very partial answer. It's a very lazy explanation.
0:10:09.960,0:10:13.370
It simply doesn't ask enough of questions.
0:10:13.370,0:10:16.623
Who were the rulers identified by this word?
0:10:16.623,0:10:19.374
why is that word associated with the rulers?
0:10:20.303,0:10:24.393
You see if yo look at the etymology of the word, [br]at it's roots meanings
0:10:24.393,0:10:26.649
look at the component parts you have[br]Anu
0:10:26.649,0:10:28.298
which means heavens
0:10:28.343,0:10:30.503
ki which means Earth.
0:10:30.628,0:10:34.098
Anunnaki are those who came from the heavens to the earth.
0:10:34.098,0:10:38.142
You can follow the logic ,but even if you didn't have[br]the narrative
0:10:38.142,0:10:40.123
imbedded in the word itself
0:10:40.185,0:10:43.797
as soon as you read the cuneiforms, the stories[br]themselves
0:10:43.797,0:10:47.441
unpack that that's exactly what was going on.
0:10:47.441,0:10:51.156
And the glyph that they used to indicate the rulers
0:10:51.156,0:10:54.976
who come down from the heavens at the beginning of the story
0:10:54.976,0:10:57.654
that glyph simply indicates the sky
0:10:57.902,0:11:01.512
So, these Anunnaki are from the heavens.
0:11:01.958,0:11:03.928
The sky people.
0:11:08.410,0:11:11.758
[Narrator] Many of the world's oldest mythologies claim
0:11:11.775,0:11:15.235
that the governance of human society began
0:11:15.268,0:11:21.240
with dominance over human beings, being [br]established by superior beings or gods.
0:11:21.695,0:11:25.935
and then the job of rulership is handed over at a later stage
0:11:25.950,0:11:27.820
to human governors or kings
0:11:27.833,0:11:31.560
Egyptian mythology holds such a narrative
0:11:32.432,0:11:35.532
Similarly The Bible speaks of King Sol
0:11:35.532,0:11:39.137
as the first human king over the people of god
0:11:40.323,0:11:42.153
The Semeirian cuneiforms
0:11:42.165,0:11:46.165
also name their first human king Gilgamesh
0:11:47.734,0:11:51.357
To be more accurate, Gilgamesh is a transition king
0:11:52.028,0:11:55.108
A hybrid of human and annunaki
0:11:56.131,0:12:00.251
His name appears on one of the most famous of Mesopotamian artifacts
0:12:01.186,0:12:02.790
The Sumerian King's list
0:12:04.521,0:12:07.921
Among the shopping lists, legal agreements, business contracts
0:12:07.921,0:12:09.932
and all the rest of the cuneiform tablets
0:12:10.638,0:12:12.609
There appears what on first inspection
0:12:13.205,0:12:17.259
is a dry record of a succesion of kings[br]of Sumeria
0:12:18.676,0:12:23.351
The most recent entries record reigns of 6 to 36 years
0:12:24.983,0:12:26.811
As we go further back on the timeline
0:12:26.811,0:12:30.204
the kings list starts running with some odd looking information
0:12:30.220,0:12:31.516
because out of the blue
0:12:31.519,0:12:33.315
we suddenly read of a dynasty
0:12:33.315,0:12:39.600
that lasted 24,510 years 3 months and 3 and a half days
0:12:39.607,0:12:43.517
Now that precision absolutely befits Sumerian culture
0:12:43.517,0:12:46.096
because its from Semerian culture that
0:12:46.096,0:12:49.005
we get 360 degrees in a circle
0:12:49.014,0:12:51.394
60 seconds in a minute
0:12:51.394,0:12:53.164
60 minutes in an hour
0:12:53.164,0:12:55.489
so the precision doesn't surprise us
0:12:56.733,0:12:58.990
what is odd is that
0:12:58.990,0:13:05.966
that dynasty of 24,500 years, 3 months and 3 and a half days
0:13:06.540,0:13:12.439
was divided across no more than 23 kings
0:13:13.582,0:13:18.892
thats an average range of more than a thousand years each
0:13:19.382,0:13:20.609
and its not a one off
0:13:20.905,0:13:23.275
the dynasty concluded by the great flood
0:13:23.277,0:13:28.831
lasted 241,000 years shared by no more than 8 kings
0:13:28.840,0:13:33.460
that's an average range of more than 30,000 years
0:13:34.308,0:13:37.005
Now, some have tried to make the dates symbolic
0:13:37.026,0:13:41.076
or have interpreted their unit of time differently
0:13:41.084,0:13:44.614
but that doesn't quite work when its an unbroken record
0:13:44.614,0:13:48.408
of 6 to 36 year reigns uh
0:13:48.408,0:13:50.921
to 36,000 years reigns
0:13:50.921,0:13:52.895
all in the same unit of time
0:13:52.897,0:13:55.357
all in the same narrative
0:13:55.613,0:13:59.085
the narrative begins with non-human kings
0:13:59.093,0:14:01.274
who then hand over to human kings
0:14:01.288,0:14:05.326
and this elasticity of the length of their dynasty's
0:14:05.326,0:14:09.133
is another suggestion that the non-human kings
0:14:09.134,0:14:12.184
are something quite different to human beings
0:14:12.190,0:14:15.050
it's like comparing the lifespan of a human being
0:14:15.050,0:14:16.992
with the lifespan of an ant
0:14:21.607,0:14:24.727
(Narrarator) the king's list is not the only evidence
0:14:24.727,0:14:27.097
pointing to an extraterrestrial hypothesis
0:14:28.041,0:14:30.082
the Sumerian version of The Tower of Babel
0:14:30.082,0:14:34.109
speaks of 50 technicians who employ mysterious technology
0:14:34.109,0:14:38.840
to dispatch 300 observers to their stations in the stars
0:14:40.312,0:14:41.972
right along side the genesis account
0:14:41.981,0:14:44.661
the two narratives confirm one another
0:14:44.661,0:14:46.598
and paint a vivid picture
0:14:46.613,0:14:49.853
Babel, was a stargate
0:14:49.853,0:14:54.679
providing the observers rapid access to space stations
0:14:55.745,0:14:57.925
The thing that got me into this whole field of research
0:14:57.925,0:15:00.632
was an anomalous word in the book of genesis
0:15:01.769,0:15:04.038
I've been a preacher for more than 30 years
0:15:04.044,0:15:06.634
I've studied and talked through the book of genesis
0:15:06.634,0:15:09.317
many, many times in churches all around the world
0:15:09.317,0:15:12.883
and I've trained pastors in the skills of interpreting texts
0:15:13.952,0:15:17.852
So I've long known about this anomalous word
0:15:18.811,0:15:21.135
Well finally I allowed myself the time to sit down
0:15:21.135,0:15:23.551
and really drill into what was going on
0:15:24.606,0:15:27.333
Genesis uses two words for god
0:15:27.349,0:15:31.189
One is Elohim and one is Yaweh or Jehovah
0:15:32.462,0:15:35.939
Now, Yaweh is the holy name given to Moses
0:15:35.939,0:15:41.387
in a time, centureis or millenia after all the action described
0:15:41.387,0:15:43.089
in the stories of beginnings
0:15:43.089,0:15:47.898
So, the fact that the word Yaweh appears in those much older stories
0:15:47.898,0:15:53.058
that clues us that we're not reading the original version of the stories
0:15:53.058,0:15:57.987
The stories are being retold by someone after the time of Moses
0:15:57.987,0:16:00.943
Now, there's a broad consensus among biblical scholars
0:16:00.943,0:16:03.843
that the current version of the old testament
0:16:03.843,0:16:07.252
the Hebrew scriptures was edited or redacted
0:16:07.252,0:16:11.212
sometime in the sixth century B.C.E.
0:16:11.212,0:16:15.674
and that the redacter, by putting the name Yaweh
0:16:15.674,0:16:18.072
into these older stories, the stories that
0:16:18.072,0:16:20.497
Abraham and Sarah have brought with them
0:16:20.497,0:16:24.863
was telling the reader to regard them as God's stories
0:16:25.707,0:16:27.173
by using the later name
0:16:27.173,0:16:31.424
he's also telling the reader, this is not the original version
0:16:34.226,0:16:37.456
Originally, they were Elohim's stories
0:16:38.454,0:16:41.863
Now that word Elohim is a very interesting word because
0:16:41.863,0:16:44.235
it's a plural form word
0:16:44.235,0:16:47.382
it often exhibits plural behaviors, "Let us make,
0:16:47.382,0:16:50.755
let us make the humans to look like one of us,
0:16:50.755,0:16:54.699
we dont want them to become to much like one of us etc".
0:16:54.699,0:16:57.675
The word Elohim often takes plural verb forms
0:16:57.675,0:17:02.498
its sometimes translated as god but in other places
0:17:02.498,0:17:05.524
it gets translated as false gods or demons
0:17:05.524,0:17:09.458
or angels or cheiftans or land barons
0:17:09.458,0:17:14.818
so why this enormous elasticity in the words meaning
0:17:15.613,0:17:19.870
Well again, we have to go back to the roots of the word
0:17:19.870,0:17:25.187
and ask why is it used that way and why does it behave like a plural
0:17:26.595,0:17:29.651
When you look at its component parts the word Elohim
0:17:29.651,0:17:33.010
means the powers or the powerful ones
0:17:33.010,0:17:36.686
now when you read genesis translating the word that way
0:17:36.686,0:17:40.724
the texts change and suddenly line up with the Sumerian texts
0:17:40.724,0:17:45.075
One by one they confirm each others stories
0:17:46.072,0:17:48.906
and its very clear they're not stories about gods
0:17:48.906,0:17:52.202
they're stories about the powerful ones in the bible
0:17:52.202,0:17:56.907
and the sky people, the Annunaki in the Sumerian tablets
0:17:59.405,0:18:02.246
(Narrarator) but is there any material evidence that
0:18:02.246,0:18:06.089
a non-human ruling presence ever occupied planet earth
0:18:07.168,0:18:08.648
one might reasonably ask
0:18:08.648,0:18:13.032
Why have no physical remains of Annunaki been found?
0:18:13.892,0:18:17.968
firstly I would note that the more we dig up ancient sites
0:18:17.968,0:18:21.576
the greater a diversity of ancient peoples were finding
0:18:21.970,0:18:27.209
if you think about the hobbits that were found in Indonesia
0:18:27.209,0:18:29.955
We called them hobbits think the proper name is homoforensis
0:18:29.955,0:18:32.289
or the giants of noble county
0:18:32.289,0:18:35.369
or the red-haired giants of North America
0:18:35.369,0:18:37.829
or the long skull of piraka etc.
0:18:37.829,0:18:39.954
There's a great range of people that we're
0:18:39.954,0:18:43.313
beginning to come across as we dig into our ancient past
0:18:43.313,0:18:48.249
so how would we know if we found an Anunnaki
0:18:49.314,0:18:52.553
well one obvious possibility is by DNA testing
0:18:53.357,0:18:58.074
so if Gilgamesh really was a human Anunnaki hybrid
0:18:58.656,0:19:03.369
then all we have to do is find the royal tomb and DNA test him
0:19:04.449,0:19:08.779
well I believe that's exactly what happened in Iraq
0:19:08.779,0:19:14.134
in 2003 a team went in protected by American troops
0:19:14.134,0:19:18.075
at the beginning of 2003 Iraq invasion
0:19:18.075,0:19:21.607
and found Gilgamesh's tomb
0:19:21.607,0:19:24.883
Fassbender spoke to the BBC you can go on his website
0:19:24.883,0:19:26.098
you can read all about it
0:19:26.798,0:19:29.848
now the officail story is that having located
0:19:29.848,0:19:37.000
the probable tomb site 16 years ago we decided not[br]to investigate any further
0:19:37.000,0:19:42.029
Similarly in 1927 the British archeologist Leonard Woolley
0:19:42.029,0:19:45.676
discovered a person known as Queen Puabi
0:19:45.918,0:19:52.598
now she was a high ranking Sumerian leader who lived[br]around 2500 BCE
0:19:52.598,0:19:55.108
and they had found her remains
0:19:55.108,0:19:58.947
so agian here's another find which with today's technology
0:19:58.947,0:20:04.297
provides us with the oppurtunity to DNA test
0:20:04.297,0:20:09.267
we can now test Sumerian royalty to comfirm
0:20:09.267,0:20:18.479
whether it was entirely human, the result,[br]apparently we've decided not to investigate any further
0:20:19.982,0:20:22.380
Now what do you make of that?
0:20:22.879,0:20:24.688
Wouldn't you want to know?
0:20:26.567,0:20:28.737
(Narrator) But why would an extraterrestrial
0:20:28.737,0:20:31.632
species be interested in governing a human
0:20:31.632,0:20:33.564
population on planet earth?
0:20:34.614,0:20:37.805
Why would advanced beings from another planet have any interest
0:20:37.805,0:20:40.124
in interfering with human evolution?
0:20:40.124,0:20:42.483
And managing a human population?
0:20:43.906,0:20:46.252
Why would they teach prehistoric humans about
0:20:46.252,0:20:50.009
Mathematics, reading, legal and banking systems
0:20:50.009,0:20:53.807
Contracts of employments, money, and pricing mechanisms?
0:20:53.807,0:20:56.760
And why would they then withdraw?
0:20:59.283,0:21:01.283
I wonder if our own behavior
0:21:01.283,0:21:02.597
As a species on our own planet
0:21:02.597,0:21:05.367
Might give us an insight on what such
0:21:05.367,0:21:07.305
colonization might look like
0:21:07.305,0:21:09.517
Because when we colonize
0:21:09.517,0:21:11.316
we go in with force.
0:21:11.316,0:21:13.218
We show our superiority
0:21:13.218,0:21:14.365
And we take over.
0:21:14.365,0:21:17.598
We provide the police, we provide the army
0:21:17.598,0:21:20.755
the education, we put the locals to work
0:21:20.755,0:21:24.559
We cream off the profits and the natural resources,
0:21:24.559,0:21:26.899
And basically enjoy all the benefits of
0:21:26.899,0:21:29.319
Sitting at the top of the economic tree
0:21:29.319,0:21:33.124
With a powerful, visible presence to keep control
0:21:34.426,0:21:35.464
But after awhile,
0:21:36.481,0:21:38.166
You can get the locals to do their own
0:21:38.166,0:21:40.996
Policing, and their own school teaching.
0:21:40.996,0:21:42.941
Let the locals become the lawyers
0:21:42.941,0:21:44.014
and the bankers
0:21:44.014,0:21:46.501
And appoint a local as the governor.
0:21:46.501,0:21:48.877
As long as you have some control
0:21:48.877,0:21:50.610
Of the value of the money
0:21:50.610,0:21:52.619
And as long as you set all the commodity
0:21:52.619,0:21:54.158
Prices and exchange rates
0:21:54.158,0:21:58.408
You don’t really need to maintain a visible presence anymore
0:21:58.974,0:22:00.864
And so you can go home
0:22:00.864,0:22:01.850
You can live in another country
0:22:01.850,0:22:04.509
And still enjoy all the benefits of sitting
0:22:04.509,0:22:06.544
At the top of the economic tree.
0:22:06.544,0:22:08.185
Now that’s how we do it.
0:22:08.185,0:22:09.373
That’s how we’ve done it
0:22:09.373,0:22:10.980
From the Roman Empire
0:22:10.980,0:22:13.270
To the Spanish, to the Dutch, the Portuguese
0:22:13.270,0:22:14.456
The British, the American,
0:22:14.456,0:22:15.526
That’s how we do it.
0:22:16.292,0:22:19.896
Is it possible that an E.T. presence
0:22:19.896,0:22:24.187
may have colonized the world in our prehistoric past
0:22:24.187,0:22:26.839
In a way that’s analogous to that?
0:22:27.421,0:22:29.439
That another species came
0:22:29.439,0:22:32.149
And resided on planet earth for awhile
0:22:32.149,0:22:34.395
They sat at the top of the economic tree
0:22:34.395,0:22:35.829
And enjoyed all the benefits of it
0:22:35.829,0:22:38.566
And then withdrew in exactly the kind of way
0:22:38.566,0:22:40.081
I’ve just mapped out.
0:22:40.081,0:22:43.963
You know, I wonder how much like
0:22:43.963,0:22:46.477
the Annunaki we are.
0:22:47.640,0:22:49.559
And as for what they were looking for...
0:22:49.559,0:22:52.339
It could have been minerals, I believe it was.
0:22:52.339,0:22:54.017
I think there is strong evidence of
0:22:54.017,0:22:56.318
Prehistoric mines in Southern Africa
0:22:56.318,0:22:57.881
It may well have been minerals.
0:22:57.881,0:23:00.391
But it could have been something else
0:23:00.391,0:23:02.692
Something to do with the properties of planet earth
0:23:02.692,0:23:06.651
And it might have been something to do with ourselves
0:23:06.651,0:23:09.581
Our uniqueness as Homosapiens.
0:23:17.491,0:23:20.744
[Narrator] Were our ancestors really engineered as workers?
0:23:20.744,0:23:22.656
Toiling for the colonizers.
0:23:22.656,0:23:26.236
Were the Annunaki only interested
0:23:26.236,0:23:28.002
In our planets resources
0:23:28.002,0:23:30.482
And coldly indifferent to the progress of
0:23:30.482,0:23:31.354
The human race?
0:23:33.810,0:23:36.794
Other ancestral narratives speak of our human origins
0:23:37.274,0:23:39.008
In exactly the same terms.
0:23:40.018,0:23:42.714
And yet there are other strands to the story.
0:23:43.953,0:23:46.637
The Greek Babylonian narrative of Oannes
0:23:46.637,0:23:47.693
And the apkallū
0:23:47.693,0:23:50.605
Speak of the visitors helping and educating
0:23:50.605,0:23:52.126
Our human ancestors.
0:23:53.561,0:23:55.429
Native American memory reports
0:23:55.429,0:23:58.601
Inter-dimensional and extraterrestrials visitors
0:23:58.601,0:24:01.478
nurturing the beginnings of human society.
0:24:03.357,0:24:08.439
Zudo mytholgy speaks of our ancestors being nurtured[br]by advanced beings
0:24:09.916,0:24:16.068
Might the Anunnaki have had a more generous motivation[br]towards their human workforce
0:24:17.756,0:24:21.685
My book escaping from Eden argues that our ancient texts
0:24:21.685,0:24:26.447
recall a range of species that bumped up[br]against our ancestors
0:24:27.388,0:24:30.458
and thes stories in our world mythologies
0:24:30.598,0:24:34.838
tell of conflicting ideas among the visitors
0:24:35.511,0:24:40.056
as to how conscious and how intelligent[br]they wanted humans to be
0:24:40.940,0:24:44.940
Now certaintly there are some cold agendas[br]towards humanity
0:24:45.791,0:24:48.728
That play out in our world's stories of beginnings
0:24:48.728,0:24:51.037
The limiting of human life
0:24:51.037,0:24:53.227
A flood to kill them all
0:24:54.143,0:24:59.336
A neurological interference to take the[br]power of speech from us and dumb us down
0:24:59.717,0:25:03.477
A bombing that destroys our[br]engineering and technology
0:25:03.477,0:25:09.161
A nuerological interference to lower our[br]perceptual and cognitive abilities
0:25:10.340,0:25:16.130
Now, in the Sumerian version of these stories[br]it's the senior Anunnaki Enlil
0:25:16.130,0:25:23.606
Who actions and pushes all these negative agendas[br]that are somewhat hostile to human beings
0:25:24.456,0:25:29.017
But htere is another agenda in the Anunnaki community
0:25:29.017,0:25:34.285
There is a figure a called Enki who appears to be[br]the leader of the Earth project
0:25:34.285,0:25:40.317
and he is junior to Enlil[br]he's described as Enlil's brother
0:25:40.317,0:25:49.308
So in the Sumerian story humanity gets caught in the crossfire[br]of these mysterious beings in conflict
0:25:50.242,0:25:58.352
A number of our so-called creation myths begin with[br]a rehabilitation of a devastated and flooded planet
0:25:58.352,0:25:59.905
shrouded in darkness
0:25:59.905,0:26:04.555
and that arrival is a positive interaction with this other species
0:26:04.555,0:26:07.727
because they begin to nurture life on the planet
0:26:07.727,0:26:11.020
They nurture animal life[br]they nurture human life
0:26:11.020,0:26:16.119
and later in the Sumerian account its Enki[br]the one who's in charge of the earth project
0:26:16.769,0:26:18.874
Who wants to upgrade human beings
0:26:18.874,0:26:23.485
For a more enjoyable a better more conscious[br]kind of life
0:26:24.119,0:26:28.187
and there's a conflict between Enlil and Enki
0:26:28.187,0:26:29.957
Over whether that should happen
0:26:29.957,0:26:33.056
Enlil the CEO does not want that
0:26:33.706,0:26:38.640
and so Enki breaks ranks to acheive that[br]upgrade for us
0:26:39.257,0:26:42.475
When Enlil wants to destroy the human experiment
0:26:42.475,0:26:48.425
by devastating the planet, again it's Enki[br]who seeks out a favored family
0:26:48.425,0:26:55.393
The family of Atrahasis aka Ziusudra[br]aka Utnapishtem aka Noah
0:26:55.393,0:26:59.805
and gives him instructions as to how to[br]construct an escape pod
0:26:59.805,0:27:03.621
For his family and his farm so they[br]can reboot the project
0:27:03.621,0:27:08.303
So I think we can say the Anunnaki presence[br]is a mixed bag for humanity
0:27:08.303,0:27:13.291
We're really caught in the crossfire of this conflict[br]among a species
0:27:13.291,0:27:19.609
Who are ambivalent about the progress[br]of human society
0:27:19.807,0:27:25.147
There is oppression and slavery in the[br]Anunnaki narrative
0:27:25.147,0:27:30.510
but there's also a concern for human welfare[br]and a nurturing of human beings
0:27:30.510,0:27:32.499
So it's a mixed story
0:27:35.110,0:27:37.035
(Narrarator) Today's reports of ET contact
0:27:37.035,0:27:39.655
reflect a similar range of agendas
0:27:40.223,0:27:44.223
Some harmful, some indifferent and some nurturing
0:27:45.626,0:27:49.906
Are these contempory experiences connected with the Anunnaki[br]narratives?
0:27:49.906,0:27:55.514
Or are people today experiencing something or someone different
0:27:57.631,0:28:01.631
What difference does the Anunnaki narrative make to human beings today?
0:28:02.642,0:28:05.896
If you and I are part primate and part Anunnaki
0:28:06.573,0:28:07.959
How does that help us
0:28:09.081,0:28:14.047
and are the Anunnaki still present or are we now[br]our own masters?
0:28:15.566,0:28:20.577
Does the Anunnaki narrative give us an[br]explanation of our original separation
0:28:20.577,0:28:27.729
from all other animal forms on planet Earth[br]but leave us with no word about our future?
0:28:29.754,0:28:35.667
My hope is focused not so much on external interventions[br]as on our own capabilites
0:28:36.869,0:28:44.139
Our ancestral narratives all speak of higher consciousness[br]being downgraded in our pre-historic past
0:28:44.139,0:28:49.873
and to my mind that raises the possibility[br]that our cognitive abilities can be upgraded
0:28:50.506,0:28:52.766
and our consciousness can be heightened
0:28:53.936,0:28:58.319
Our mythologies speak of our perceptual feild[br]being limited
0:28:58.671,0:29:02.881
Now, to my mind that suggests we might be able[br]to expand it
0:29:03.965,0:29:12.167
The Anunnaki narrative speaks of us laboring[br]for superiors and you can see that we're hard-wired to do that
0:29:12.740,0:29:20.053
but what if we were able to break down that programming[br]and start working for one another instead of those above us
0:29:21.583,0:29:25.753
What if we de-engineered all our neurological slave settings
0:29:26.512,0:29:31.062
And allowed ourselves to live freer less[br]fearful lives
0:29:31.062,0:29:32.918
What would that look like?
0:29:37.324,0:29:42.573
Many of the cultures that have curated these stories of beginnings
0:29:42.573,0:29:50.611
Have also curated modalities, methods, that are designed[br]to re-awaken our higher state of consciousness
0:29:50.611,0:29:58.768
So ancient Greek culture which had this narrative[br]also had the modality of a Kykeon ritual
0:29:58.768,0:30:03.788
Kykeon was a kind of tea ritual aimed[br]at heightening the persons state of consciousness
0:30:03.788,0:30:09.752
In Mesoamerica we find another tea ceremony[br]with exactly the same purpose
0:30:09.752,0:30:16.357
If we go to indigenous Australia or to Native America[br]we find smoke and smoking ceremonies
0:30:16.357,0:30:23.102
and similar activities in the ancient Indian cultures[br]that produced the Vedas
0:30:24.180,0:30:29.038
Eastern Monastic traditions have disciplines of stillness[br]and conscious breathing
0:30:29.220,0:30:37.235
And in my experience, they really do have[br]perches in terms of altering our state of consciousness
0:30:37.235,0:30:42.522
And heightening our abilities for a better human experience
0:30:44.830,0:30:49.145
(Narrator) If the Anunnaki stories represent our true[br]origins as a species
0:30:49.744,0:30:53.284
and human beings are part earthling and part higher being
0:30:54.201,0:30:58.214
What does that mean for our potential[br]as human beings today?
0:31:00.130,0:31:04.663
Are we bound to the contracts of employment[br]systems of money and banking
0:31:04.663,0:31:07.232
and the tryanny of hours, minutes and seconds
0:31:07.693,0:31:12.386
First taught to the ancient Sumerians more than[br]5000 years ago
0:31:13.265,0:31:17.333
Or are other ways open to us as human beings?
0:31:18.857,0:31:24.313
Might, higher froms of conscousness help us[br]achieve a new freedom from the legacy
0:31:24.313,0:31:30.705
of our enslaved past and provide a pathway[br]to a better human eperience
0:31:32.940,0:31:38.316
