Annunaki | Gods from Planet Nibiru and the Makers of Man

This episode of The Why Files is brought. to you by Audible. 7 million years ago, a chimpanzee stood. up on its hind legs and a new species of. hominin emerged. Over the next few. million years, hominins evolved. They. were still ape-like in appearance, but. these were not apes. Their brains grew. larger. They created stone tools and. hunted large game. They discovered fire. and learned to follow the migration. patterns of the animals they used for. food, clothing, and shelter. It took a.

few million years for hominins to. discover how to make a stone spearhead. 2 million years later, that stone. spearhead changed into. a different shaped spearhead. Technology. evolves slowly. But 300,000 years ago, Homo sapiens. appeared and before long, they, we, were. the dominant species on the planet. Once. they destroyed Neanderthals once and for. all, something happened. Technology. accelerated. It only took 30,000 years.

to go from Göbekli Tepe to landing. probes on other planets. How could. mankind evolve so fast? The answer is. they couldn't. Mankind didn't evolve at. all. Mankind was engineered, purpose-built to. be the perfect slaves for a race of far. superior beings who, according to. ancient texts, descended from the. heavens. Eventually, the slaves rebelled. and our masters tried to destroy us in a. great flood. Sumerian texts, Egyptian.

religions, ancient Indian myths, Native. American legends, even the Bible. They. all tell the same story. It's the story. of gods and men. It's the story of the. Anunnaki.

Change of plans. What? As you know, for the past week, we've. been covering this horrendous. kidnapping. Joining us today to discuss the. situation is AJ. AJ, tell us how you're. feeling.

AJ, you're alive. The whole world now knows that. Hecklefish was kidnapped for ransom 3. days ago. Behind me is a recent photograph of him. And this, this is what waits for the man who took. him. This is your ransom. $2 million in. unmarked bills, just like you wanted. But this is only half. Instead, I will. double it to 4 million. for you to keep him.

You son of a. But this is your last chance. You keep. Hecklefish and the 4 million is yours. Understand? You will keep all of this. money.

civilization of Sumer thrived. Sure, we have sites like Göbekli Tepe. and Măgura Gorn. which predate the Sumerians, but those. are small gathering places compared to. the vast civilization of Sumer, the. world's first empire. The Sumerians. invented writing. They discovered the. wheel. The sailboat was first created by. the Sumerians. They revolutionized. agriculture by inventing the first plow. to be used on farms fed by a. sophisticated irrigation system. Again,

the world's first. Though the Greeks get credit for. inventing city-states, that too was a. Sumerian concept. Sumer was organized. into city-states, each governed. independently with its own ruler. These. rulers reported to the king according to. the code of Ur-Nammu, the world's first. legal system. Sumerians understood. complicated mathematics and astronomy. Their number systems used to tell time. and measure the angles of a circle are. still used today. Sumer was founded about 7,000 years ago.

and you probably know everything I've. said so far. This is common knowledge. What's also common knowledge is that. Homo sapiens, or modern man, appeared. about 300,000 years ago. Look at how much our technology has. evolved since the Sumerians. It took. only 7,000 years to go from discovering. writing to landing a man on the moon. Okay, to landing something on the moon. Better. So, what took so long? Why the sudden. explosion of technology? What was modern.

man doing for the 225,000. years or so before ancient Sumer? Why. did technology not progress? Ancient Sumerian texts tell us why. Technology couldn't progress because. humans were busy working. Working the. mines. Working in the coal mine, going. down, down, down. Working in the coal. mine, woo, I got to slip down. Oh, they. weren't mining for coal. They were. mining for gold.

Gold is a miraculous metal. It's an. excellent conductor, highly useful in. electronics, and crucial to space. travel. Radioactive gold isotopes can target and. destroy cancer cells. Gold can also be. used for data processing and. transmission. Before the 20th century, humans had no. practical use for gold. It's nice to. look at, but they couldn't use it for. anything. Have you ever wondered why a.

metal useless to ancient humans suddenly. and only very recently became the most. valuable metal in the world? Gold has. other uses. Gold nanoparticles can clean. the environment. Gold facilitates. chemical reactions that purify water and. air by leaching away toxic compounds. That's where the sky gods of Sumer come. in, the Anunnaki. Anunnaki. Why are you saying it like that? Anunnaki. Uh it's the new jingle like a we are.

farmers bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. bum bum. I'm loving it. Anunnaki. Anunnaki. Anunnaki. Uh you think it will stick? Uh no, that's just a rip-off of Hallelujah. Gold was more than the most valuable. metal in the world. It was the most. valuable metal in the solar system. The Anunnaki weren't gods. They were. aliens from another planet. They needed. gold to save their world from an. environmental disaster, but gold was. rare on their planet. They found a. solution. About 450,000 years ago, the.

Anunnaki arrived on Earth not to help. humans, but to use them. Gold is. abundant on Earth. The Anunnaki knew. this and they wanted every ounce of it. So, they bred us as a slave race to work. the mines. The planet of the Anunnaki, hiding in the far reaches of our solar. system, does exist. Not just according. to ancient tablets, but according to. NASA. The home world of the Anunnaki has. been called the 12th planet by Zecharia. Sitchin. NASA calls it Planet Nine.

Others call it Planet X. The Sumerians and the Anunnaki called. their planet Nibiru. And the fates of. Nibiru and Earth were about to be joined. together forever.

Anu stood on his balcony and laughed to. himself. His laugh wasn't about anything. funny. It was a sarcastic laugh. Anu. wasn't his given name. Anu was his. title, given to all leaders of his. people, the Anunnaki. Anunnaki. Please, no catchy jingles when I'm doing. dramatic science fiction. Sorry, sorry. Go ahead, Philip K. Dick. 50. 50,000 years ago, when Anu was young and.

ambitious, he fought former king Alalu. for the throne and won. The council. elected him to see Nibiru through the. crisis. But during his time as leader, conditions on the planet were only. getting worse. Industry on Nibiru was highly. controlled. Factories polluted the air. There was no way to avoid it, but they. had the technology to control it. Skyscraper-sized air recyclers dotted. the landscape around every urban area. However, a series of volcanic eruptions.

caught the Anunnaki by surprise. Ancient. volcanoes spewed ash and toxic gas into. the air, overwhelming the recyclers with. mountain-sized pyroclastic flows. Within. weeks, the recyclers began to fail. Within months, the atmosphere began. breaking down. Nibiru's ozone layer was thin in most. places and completely gone in others. The sky above Nibiru was a sickly. yellow, and the atmosphere was thick and.

oppressive. Twin moons once shined. brightly, now they were barely visible. through the haze. Stars that had once. filled the night sky could no longer be. seen. Anunnaki lived for 200,000 years. This. long lifespan, once considered a gift, was now a curse. The older Anunnaki. remembered a night sky filled with. stars, but the young ones had never seen. a star. The last brightest star. disappeared behind the gloom years ago. In the cities of Nibiru, the towering.

spires of ancient buildings loomed over. empty streets. The grand avenues, once. lined with breathtaking sculptures and. shimmering fountains, now seemed to. taunt the Anunnaki, a painful reminder. of an age of prosperity now long in the. past. The gardens that once bloomed with. exotic plants and flowers were now. withered and brown. Formerly vibrant. landscapes were barren and decayed, a. casualty of the failing ecosystem. Anu and the Anunnaki people knew that.

their planet was dying and that they. were running out of time. Anu had the. greatest minds in the world working on. this problem, but the outlook was grim. Then Anu's son, Enlil, burst into the. room. He said, "Father, I know how we. can save the planet.". In the halls of learning, the greatest. minds of Nibiru worked tirelessly to. find a solution. They poured over. ancient texts and conducted countless.

experiments, searching for a way to halt. the decay of their world. And then, in a. moment of desperation and brilliance, Anunnaki scientists discovered the. answer: gold. The precious metal, rare on Nibiru, held. the key to their salvation. When. suspended in the atmosphere, microscopic. gold reflects and absorbs the harmful. radiation of the sun and space. It was. the one chance to stabilize their. atmosphere. It was a long shot and would. take years, but it was their only hope.

The Anunnaki mobilized all their. resources and devised a plan. They sent. expeditions to the far reaches of the. solar system, searching for planets rich. in gold. They would mine the gold, bring. it back to their planet, and release it. into the atmosphere in a desperate. attempt to save their world. For years, probes went out and probes found. nothing. Probes traveled the inner solar. system and found nothing but useless. volcanic rock and toxic gas. But today, there was a glimmer of hope. One of the.

probes reported not just the presence of. gold, but of many more life-saving. resources. All the elders were present. at the council meeting: Enki, Nanna, Ninhursag, and Utu. But it was Anu's. son, Enlil, who spoke first. Data from. one of our probes has come in. There is. a planet very close to the yellow star. rich in gold. It also has liquid water. in abundance. Its atmosphere is thin, thinner than ours, but it has a strong. magnetic field that shields it from the.

radiation killing our planet. It's the. third planet from the star. Anu knew of. this planet. They called it Kai, but. would later become known as Earth. Earth revolved around the sun very. quickly. Nibiru was also in orbit around. the star, but it took 3,600 Earth years. to complete one revolution. Anu thought. Earth sounded perfect. The journey would. be dangerous, but times were desperate. Soon Nibiru would be making a close. approach to Earth. The timing was. perfect. He urged them to depart.

immediately, but Enlil had more to say. But Earth is teeming with life, including intelligent creatures, though. still early in their development. These. creatures are bipedal like us, but. smaller than us, perhaps half our. height. The creatures Enlil spoke of. were under 6 ft tall. Anunnaki were. between 12 and 15 ft tall. This is. because Nibiru's gravity wasn't as. strong as Earth's. This was just math. More gravity means smaller life forms.

Low gravity allows plants and animals to. grow very tall. Aside from their small. size, the Earth creatures were similar. in appearance to the Anunnaki in other. ways. The Anunnaki had larger eyes and. larger skulls than the Earthlings, but. the Earth beings had two arms, two legs, eyes, nose, mouth, just like the. Anunnaki. Anu sensed concern in Enlil's. voice. Do these Earth creatures pose a. threat to us and our project? They are primitive, but violent. Some.

eat animal flesh, if you can imagine. They have no interest in gold, but they. may perceive us as a threat. They have. no technology beyond wood and stone. Still, in numbers, they could be. dangerous. That's what the Igigi are. for. The Igigi were a race of slaves who. served the Anunnaki in all things, from. operating the factories to maintaining. order. They were an intelligent and. obedient workforce, and they could. surely handle primitive creatures half. their size. The council convened, the.

decision was made, and 300 Anunnaki and. 600 Igigi were loaded onto great ships. It was time to make the journey sunward. It was time to make the journey to. Earth. After a brief stop on Mars, the Anunnaki. fleet arrived in Earth's orbit. The crew. was stunned. The planet was a vibrant. blue and green with swirling white. clouds. Vast glimmering oceans seemed to.

go on forever. The planet was full of. life in the sky, on land, and the sea. below. The Anunnaki marveled at Earth's beauty, but also felt sadness. Their home. planet, Nibiru, was dying, and its. people were suffering. But that sadness. renewed their resolve. They were here. for a purpose: mine all the gold needed. to heal their atmosphere. A few ships remained in orbit, while.

others scouted the planet for a suitable. landing site. Eventually, they settled on the lush. green plains between the Euphrates and. the Tigris rivers. Later, this area. would become known as Mesopotamia, the. Greek word for between two rivers. The. ships landed, and the Igigi were put to. work. The Igigi were a race of aliens. that the Anunnaki conquered long ago. After the Igigi were defeated, they were. enslaved. They've served the Anunnaki. ever since. The Igigi look similar to. the Anunnaki, who look similar to modern.

humans. There is a reason for that. I'm getting there. Igigi were between 12 and 15 ft tall and. extremely strong. Where humans have. somewhat round skulls, the Anunnaki and. the Igigi, to some degree, had very. large and often elongated skulls. These. elongated heads have been depicted many. times in ancient carvings and frescoes. The Igigi were given only 7 days to. build the great city of Eridu, to be. ruled by Anu's son, Enki. The Anunnaki.

were cruel and brutal to the Igigi. The gods' load was great, the toil. grievous, the trouble excessive. The. great Anunnaki of the seven were making. me Igigi undertake the toil. The city was completed on time. Then the. Igigi dug mines and began mining gold. They mined gold day after day, year. after year, for 150,000.

years. The Igigi extracted gold by the ton, and. ships began making round trips between. Earth and Nibiru. Enki, ruling in his. father Anu's name, was thrilled. He. demanded more output. The slave masters. used weapons like particle beams to. force the Igigi to work harder and. faster. Enki didn't want to abuse the workforce. this way, but felt he had no choice. The. atmosphere on Nibiru was all but. stripped away. He wasn't sure the gold.

would get back home in time. Then, against his better judgment, Enki. demanded even more output from the. mines. The slave masters were told to. use any means necessary to get this. done, including torture. Soon, whispers. of dissent circulated among the Igigi. Then the whispers became shouts. No. longer would the Igigi allow themselves. to be tortured, and no longer would they. work the mines. Atrahasis, a famous. leader of the Igigi, made the decision. to rebel.

For too long have we languished under. the yoke of the Anunnaki. We were born. of the stars, yet condemned to the dark. It is time we seek the light. Now, proclaim war. Let us combine hostilities. and battle. The rebellion was swift. The Igigi were. intelligent and strong. They turned. their tools into weapons, broke their. chains, and fought the Anunnaki for. their freedom. The city of Eridu became. a battlefield, and gold mines collapsed.

from the uprising. The Igigi fought. bravely, but they failed and were put. back in chains. Enki's brother, Enlil, had been overseeing the mining. operations. He was furious. He wanted. the Igigi killed for treason, but Enki. felt differently. The Anunnaki and the. Igigi had thousands of years of shared. history. Shall we meet defiance with tyranny or. can we forge a new destiny together?

The Igigi could not return to the mines. and Enki knew this. They would continue. to rebel. But someone had to work the. mines and do all the labor a large city. requires. So Enki had an idea. In the forests were ape-like hominids. They had large brains, walked on two. legs and can use simple tools. They. weren't intelligent enough to do the. work the Anunnaki needed, but maybe they. could become intelligent with just a. little genetic engineering.

There were groups of hominids living in. the forest around the Anunnaki cities. These were our ancestors. They were. either Homo Heidelbergensis or Homo. Erectus. Yeah. Stop it. The Anunnaki. took one of the hominid males and. attempted to cross his genetics with the. Anunnaki. Yeah, you Naki. Enki wanted to. create a creature that would be. intelligent like the Igigi, but not too. intelligent. They would be strong, but. much smaller than the Igigi. They would.

be engineered to be submissive and much. easier to control. The first experiments were done in a lab. and the results were horrific. Instead of creating a perfect being, the. genetic experiments created monsters. Gorgons, Cyclops, Banshees and. two-headed giants. These monsters still. live on in ancient stories. The Anunnaki changed their approach. They genetically spliced their DNA with. that of a hominid female.

Then, rather than grow the embryo in a. lab, they implanted it in the female. It worked. Less than a year later, a. child was born, a boy. He looked more like the Anunnaki than. the ape-like creatures roaming the. forest. They named the child Adamu. Adamu like gay, like Adam from Adam and. Eve? Yep. Adamu means first man. In. Hebrew, the word also means from the. ground or Earth. In Genesis, God made. Adam in his own image from the dust on.

the ground. In ancient Sumerian, Akkadian and Babylonian texts, the. creation of man is described the same. way. Man is created in the image of the. god or gods by mixing the blood of a god. with the clay of the Earth. Ancient Egyptians had a story of man. being created by mixing a tear of a god. with the clay of the Earth. Blood or. even a tear would contain DNA. And clay. in ancient writings doesn't mean actual. clay, it refers to all life on Earth.

Every culture and religion has some. variation of the story. Not a. coincidence. Probably not. And there is that gap in history where. hominids go from very simple primates to. a very intelligent advanced race. We're. far more intelligent than any of the. species before us. You'd think there'd. be a slow but steady evolution of. intelligence, but we don't see it. It's. as if humans suddenly appeared. Dr. Ellis Silver wrote a book about this.

jump in evolution in his book Humans Are. Not from Earth. His theory says that. humans were brought here by aliens. Now. whether brought here or created here, the theory says humans were genetically. engineered using alien DNA. Dr. Silver claims that humans are not. well suited to Earth's environment while. every other animal is. Why did we lose. our fur? Human skin is very sensitive to. sunlight and UV radiation. If we spend. too much time in the sun, it leads to.

serious diseases, especially skin. cancer. No other animals get sunburnt. Mammals have fur or thick skin. Fish. scales, even birds feathers, all offer. protection from the sun. Sure, pigs, elephants and even reptiles can get. burnt, but they protect themselves by. rolling around in mud or changing their. skin. Now we have sunblock, but what did. humans do to protect their skin 100,000. years ago? Also, humans are more. susceptible to illness, disease and. birth disorders than other animals. I.

have two cats. I've had cats for years. I can't remember them ever getting sick. Buddy eventually got sick, but then he. died. For 14 years, he never had so much. as a cold. Now I know cats, dogs and. animals do get sick, but not at the rate. humans do. Dr. Silver mentions that humans tend to. crave food that's bad for us, salt, sugar, fat, carbs. We're surrounded by. vegetables, nuts and fruit, but most. people would rather have a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake. I know I would.

Back pain is another reason Dr. Silver. thinks humans are not from Earth. He. claims we're not designed for Earth's. gravity. It's too heavy. He believes we. evolved on a planet with lower gravity. Like Nibiru. Right. The Anunnaki were very human-like, but. they were about twice our height, 12 to. 15 ft tall. This would indicate they. evolved on a planet with lower gravity. than Earth. He presents a very. compelling case backed up by science. I. linked to his book below.

It's believed that Homo sapiens first. emerged about 300,000 years ago. This is. exactly the time of the Igigi rebellion. So back to the first man, Adamu. The. Anunnaki also created a female, Hiva, so. they can. it that feeling. I want sexual healing, sexual. healing. It's good for me. I continue. The Anunnaki needed humans to procreate. on their own and they did, often. The.

Anunnaki guided this new race for a few. hundred years. The population grew to. thousands. The Anunnaki taught the new humans all. the skills they needed to maintain the. city, build homes, plant and harvest. crops, but most importantly, the. Anunnaki gave humans the skills to mine. gold. Yeah, you Naki. The Anunnaki were so. pleased with their creation that they. allowed humans to visit their sacred. garden, Eden. So Adamu and Hiva in the. Garden of Eden, huh? According to.

ancient Sumerian writing, yes. Sounds. familiar. Yep. There is a lot of the. Anunnaki story in every major religion. in the world. But now we run into a. problem. Humans didn't look like apes at all. They looked pretty much like Anunnaki, just smaller. And human women were. beautiful. Yeah, oh. That always means. trouble. One of these women caught the. eye of Enki, the Anunnaki ruler of the.

city Eridu. Yeah, there it is. Hey Enki, her eyes. are up here. But relationships between. Anunnaki, Igigi and humans were strictly. forbidden. Don't sleep with the help. Oh, come on. That's rude. I'm serious. You get in trouble when you. party with your employees. Just ask. Arnold. I'm feeling flick. So Enki broke the law. and had a relationship with a human. woman. From this relationship, a child. was born, a boy named Adapa. Until now,

humans were very simple, docile beings. Intelligent enough to do the work the. Anunnaki needed, but not intelligent. enough to complain about it. The birth. of Adapa changed everything. He was part. human, part Anunnaki. He was extremely. intelligent. He married a woman named. Atiti. Atiti? Atiti. What did I say? From the family of Adapa began a new. line of highly intelligent humans and. they started asking questions. They. inherited the Anunnaki's desire for gold.

and for power. But there was a bigger. problem. Another trait emerged in this. new line of intelligent humans, a trait. that would shape the future of our. entire species. That new trait was. violence. In just a few years, the first. generation submissive humans were gone. Some were murdered, but most just died. out. The new humans had no interest in.

mating with them, but they still were. interested in mating. Get up, get up, get up, get up. Let's make love tonight. Against the orders of the Anunnaki, these new intelligent violent humans. procreated a lot. Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up. because you do it right. Soon the city of Eridu was overrun. It. could no longer sustain the human. population. People were killing each. other for food. The violence was out of. control. Enlil was especially annoyed by.

the constant disturbance of humans. He. decided to lessen the population by. sending a series of plagues. First. drought, then pestilence and then. famine. After each of these plagues, the humans. appealed to the god who made them, Enki. He helped ease their suffering and. return the Earth to its natural state. By now, the Anunnaki had enough gold to. heal their planet and the humans had. become a nuisance. The Anunnaki cast. them out of Eden and out of Eridu and.

from there, the human race spread around. the world. But not all humans left. Some. stayed and had relationships with. several Anunnaki. The children born of. these relationships were extremely. powerful demigods. Legendary figures like Gilgamesh, Samson, Hercules and Perseus were the. offspring of Anunnaki human unions. But. some humans had relationships with the. Igigi. These unions did not produce. heroes. They produced monsters.

These offspring were race of giants. called the Nephilim. They were cruel and. brutal. They tormented and tortured. humans and in many cases, they ate them. Nephilim episode link below. Meanwhile, mankind flourished. Human. settlements became cities and cities. became empires. Humans conquered all. four corners of the earth. It was a. prosperous, if not decadent, time.

But the human race didn't know their. world was about to change drastically. It first appeared in the night sky like. any other star. But as the weeks passed, the object grew brighter and larger. Humans were confused and growing. concerned. They had no idea what this. object was. But the Anunnaki did. It was their home. Nibiru takes 3,600 years to orbit the. sun, but its orbit is highly elliptical, so Nibiru travels way beyond Pluto.

nearly to the Kuiper Belt, then swings. all the way back through the inner solar. system. During this time, it comes very. close to the earth. So, the Anunnaki. started packing. They had enough gold to heal their. atmosphere. There was no reason to stay. on earth anymore. Besides, when Nibiru. got close to the earth, they did not. want to be on the surface. Yeah, but it. sounds ominous. Oh, yeah, it's going to. be bad. How bad? Well, imagine every. disaster movie you've ever seen rolled. into one cataclysmic event. Yeah, okay,

that's bad. It's actually way worse. Yeah, but what about the humans? Oh, after Nibiru passes by the earth, there won't be any humans left. Oh, no. The farmer was startled awake. The sun. was just rising over the mountains in. the east. The animals always got. restless at sunrise, eagerly awaiting. their breakfast. But the animals were.

more than restless. They were going. crazy. His wife groaned and rolled over. as he launched himself out of bed. When. he got to his barn, the farmer was. shocked. His horses were literally. screaming to get out of their stalls. One broke its neck trying to break free. His sheep were running in unison like a. flock of birds making a large circle. within the pen. Occasionally, one would break off and. throw itself against the stone corral. A. few injured sheep limped around the.

perimeter. At least two were dead. It. was madness. The farmer didn't know what caused the. sudden alarm, but he was sure it had. something to do with the object in the. sky. His village first noticed it months ago. when a new light appeared in the night. sky. It looked like a star, as the sky. gods called it. But the sky gods were. gone now. After the new star appeared, they boarded great chariots that took. them to the heavens. His people were on. their own now.

The object no longer looked like a star. It was almost the size of the moon. And. like the moon, the farmer could see. features on the great disc. Clouds were. visible. He could see mountains and. oceans. But unlike the moon, the object. was visible during the day, constant and. oppressive. He knew it was getting larger, or was it. getting closer? It was difficult to. tell. The farmer jumped when a flock of birds. suddenly and loudly took flight. He.

scanned the forest and horizon beyond, and it seemed like every bird in the. world had taken to the air. But there were no songs being sung. The. birds were screeching. Then, he felt it, a vibration. At first, he thought it was his body. trembling, but then realized the ground. beneath his feet was trembling. The farmer felt the sound before he. heard it, a hum so deep it was barely. there. But the sound caused a wave of. sickness to wash over him. He dropped to.

his knees to vomit when the world. started tearing itself apart. He had experienced earthquakes before, some very powerful and frightening. Nothing compared to this. The ground shook and rolled like a boat. at sea. Over his shoulder, he saw the. barn crumble. He wondered how many of. his horses were killed. He hoped his. favorite horse survived. He wanted to. run over and save what animals he could, but the tremor would not allow him to. stand. Then, his house collapsed.

The farmer vomited again, knowing his. wife and three children were still. sleeping there. He hoped they slept. through their death. They didn't. He heard his wife screaming from the. rubble. He heard the wail of an infant. Then, he heard himself screaming. But those sounds were suddenly. overwhelmed by a great rumble as the. ground lurched forward. The stone corral. tumbled. Animals were knocked off their.

feet. Deafening thunder came next, but. louder than any thunder he'd ever heard. The farmer covered his ears, but it was. no help. What he couldn't hear, he could. feel. He looked to the west. There was the. grassy hill with the large olive tree. As far as he knew, the tree had been. there forever. The graves of his parents. and their parents were in the shade of. that tree. He thought his grave might be. there soon. Then, from over that ridge, he saw what.

seemed to be mountains of fire. Flaming stones as big as houses were. launched into the sky through the clouds. and into the heavens. Hundreds of them, thousands maybe. Dark smoke billowed from something in. that direction. And before he knew it, the blue sky had turned black. The. morning sun had disappeared. But at least he didn't have to look at. the great disc anymore. He finally got. to his feet and staggered toward his. house. All he could hear was the growl.

of the earth, but he knew his wife was. still alive. If he could just get to. her, maybe he could. Then, a hot coal landed beside him, the. kind he'd seen in ovens at the market. It was bright red and aflame. Then, another coal landed nearby, this one a. bit larger. They hissed as they burned. in the tall grass. He then realized the. rocks of fire that were launched into. the heavens were coming home. Soon, stones made of fire were crashing.

all around him, and they were getting. bigger. The barn disappeared in a hail. of fire. On the ground, he saw the shadows. The. stones were definitely getting larger, and they were bigger than houses, much. bigger. The farmer stopped when one of the large. shadows found him. He knew what was. next. He said a prayer as the faint. shadow in the grass grew larger and. darker. He heard an approaching scream. as the shadow spilled across his entire. farm. Then, everything went black.

The fisherman was working frantically. The great disc in the sky was shaking. the earth and buildings were crumbling. as if made of sand. He lashed ropes around a wooden pike to. hold his boat in place. The waves were. growing bigger and his boat was. thrashing violently. He hoped his knot. would hold. Occasionally, a brick made. of fire would drop from the sky and land.

in the water with an angry hiss. The fisherman was more confused than. frightened. The morning was clear and. peaceful, and the fish were biting. He was going to make a fortune at the. market, but the storm had cut his trip. short. Now, a blanket of darkness. covered the earth and the wind was. howling. Soon, the wind's howl became a roar and. rain thrashed so violently that the. drops left painful welts in his skin. The earth had been shaking for hours, or.

was it just minutes? He couldn't tell. When the small houses in the village. fell, countless lives were lost. But. there were some survivors. They were. making their way to the caves nearby. The tremors made it slow going, but the. fisherman was sure they'd make it. A. gust of wind felt like a shove that. knocked the fisherman off his feet. But. the shove continued and continued. The. wind was so strong, the man was pinned. to the ground, face painfully pushing.

into the sand. Any houses that survived. the quake would not survive the gale. He. was being pelted with sand and debris, and boats that weren't tied down sailed. through the air, exploding into. splinters when they landed. He once again hoped that knot would. hold. He managed to get to his feet as soil. and dust swirled around him. He couldn't. see more than two paces in any. direction. Unsure of where to go, he. followed the sound of a child crying.

But that child sounded so far, far away. Then, as if the sky gods had commanded. it, the wind and rain stopped. Debris fell to the ground as if dropped. by the gods' hands. The earth stopped. trembling, though he could still feel a. rumble somewhere down deep. It could be. the sound of hell itself. He saw a few stragglers wearing heavy.

packs on their way to the caves. Behind. him, he heard a familiar sound, the. sound of a river. But there were no. rivers near the village. He turned. around and saw that the sea had all but. disappeared. Water was rushing away at a. ferocious speed. But to where? Soon, the. ocean was a field of mud that stretched. to the horizon. His boat dangled from. the wooden pike. The knot held. Thousands of fish wriggled and flopped. in the wet sand where the ocean used to. be. He thought this would be the.

greatest feast the birds would ever see. Then, he realized there were no birds, not a single one. With the water gone, the only sound was that of fish flipping. over and over again, slowly drowning in. the air. The fisherman's eyes continued to the. horizon. He saw a great white cloud. stretch from one end of the world to the. other. He stood silently in awe. Then he. realized it wasn't a cloud, it was a. mountain and it was growing. But how.

could it be a mountain? It was a mountain of water, a wave, the. biggest wave he'd ever seen, the biggest. wave anyone had ever seen. As it approached, its crest pierced the. clouds, taller than any mountain, higher. than any bird could fly, bigger than. anything the fisherman had ever seen. His father had taught him how to steady. his boat when a big wave hits, but his. father never mentioned a wave that. touched the heavens. Soon, what little.

light seeped through the gloom was. snuffed out by the shadow of the wall of. water. The wave rushed ahead at great. speed. The man thought that not even the. fastest horse could outrun it. Within. seconds, the wall of water was all he. could see. It was coming. The man sighed. and settled his breath. He'd been born. by the sea and he would die by the sea. This would be a good death. He closed. his eyes, opened his arms wide, and. smiled.

In orbit, the Anunnaki watched the. continents of the Earth sink beneath the. ocean. Tiny islands, once the peaks of. great mountains, appeared here and. there, but they were too few for anyone. to survive, for anything to survive. They knew the great flood was coming. Nibiru passes by the Earth every 3,600. years, but the distance varies. Sometimes Nibiru stays far outside the. moon's orbit and the effects on Earth.

are small, but sometimes, like this. visit, Nibiru was soared between the. Earth and the moon at 40,000 miles per. hour. The Anunnaki knew the Earth would. be devastated. In the months prior, there was a lot of debate among the. elder Anunnaki. Yeah, Anunnaki. At. first, they decided to let humanity. perish. Enlil said that humans served. their purpose and now were nothing but a. nuisance. A great flood was just what. the Earth needed, a fresh start. But. Enki had grown to love humans. Remember,

he married a human woman. Enki offered Enlil and the other. Anunnaki a compromise. The flood would. come as planned, but one man and his. family would be spared. Utnapishtim, a wise and good man. He and. his wife and family would build a large. boat. An ark. Yes, and on that boat, they would take the seeds of all living. creatures. When the flood came, all life. on Earth was destroyed, but Utnapishtim, his family, and the contents of his boat.

survived. Every day, Utnapishtim released birds to. find land. One day, a raven did not. return. He sailed in that direction. After a few days, the boat came to rest. on an island that, as the waters. receded, became a mountain top. And now. life, including humanity, would start. again. Uh that's the story of Noah's. ark. It is, but this version is from the Epic. of Gilgamesh, written at least 3,000. years earlier, and the story's probably. much older than that.

Every culture and religion on Earth has. a flood myth, which are all very similar. to the Sumerian flood myth. Some. cultures tell the identical story just. with different names. So, mankind is. reborn, but this time the Anunnaki put. in some safeguards. They shortened the human lifespan. They. made us more susceptible to illness. They made childbirth dangerous for both. mother and child. They would not let the. human population get out of control. Uh. Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum.

would be proud. They would. You're going. to live in a pod and eat bugs, you know. I am not eating bugs. Yeah, worms are. pretty good. I like sushi. Your job cuts. deep, sir. It cuts me to the quick. Soon, new settlements and villages. emerged, but all of humanity's previous. knowledge was lost to the sea. They were. back to the Stone Age. Enki and even Enlil were impressed by. the resilience of man and decided to. visit the settlements. The Anunnaki. descended from the heavens and rose from.

the seas to give people the gift of. civilization. Humans are taught reading and writing, mathematics, astronomy, and even. engineering. They're taught how to build. great cities. And some believe the. Anunnaki helped them build huge. structures like pyramids and obelisks. found in Egypt and South America. And those pyramids and obelisks were. built for a specific purpose, by the. way. Tesla might have figured it out, but that's another story. Tesla pyramid. link below.

The last time Nibiru passed by Earth was. about 700 years ago. That time happens to coincide with the. emergence of the Sumerian civilization, the first civilization on Earth. Or was it? Nibiru passes by Earth every 3,600. years. Sometimes Nibiru comes so close. to the Earth that the planet is wiped. clean. About 13,000 years ago, the end of the. Younger Dryas, was the time of the great. flood. This coincides with the time when. Nibiru would be passing by.

Some believe a meteor impact caused the. flood. Others believe it was a major. solar event. But what if it was Nibiru that caused. the ice sheets to melt and flood the. Earth? What if that's the exact story. that we've heard today? The earliest great flood myth comes from. ancient Sumer, about 7,000 years ago. However, tablets and tablets of Sumerian. writing still exist, writing that fills. books upon books. The Sumerians wrote. down everything. They said the great. flood story, which was told in the Epic.

of Gilgamesh, happened many years. earlier. The dates work out. And if the. Sumerians were right, there was a. civilization on Earth before the flood, as many researchers like Graham Hancock. claim. Now, that previous civilization. didn't have advanced technology, but. they certainly witnessed it. Carvings and texts from ancient Sumer, India, China, Japan, Egypt, Pacific. Islanders, Native Americans, they all. tell the same story. Gods who rode.

chariots in the sky, gods who created. mankind, gods who destroyed the Earth. with a flood, and gods who helped us. rebuild it. Nibiru is due to return around the year. 2900. Now, maybe it will be a gentle. transit and humanity will continue to. evolve and innovate. Maybe by then we'll. have learned a way to communicate with. the ancient sky gods. Yeah, Anunnaki. Or maybe Nibiru's next visit will be a. violent one, bringing with it another. cataclysm that wipes the Earth clean.

So, does that mean all of humanity is. destroyed and we have to start again? I don't think so. Technology is going to keep moving. forward. By the time the year 2900. arrives, I'm sure we'll be building. outposts on the moon, Mars, Europa, Enceladus. We'll be mining asteroids and. stopping at Europa to refuel and refill. our water tanks. Humanity will be a. spacefaring species. And like we've. conquered every corner of the Earth, I. believe with a little luck and a lot of. cooperation, we can conquer every corner.

of our solar system. Nibiru may destroy. the Earth in the year 2900, but that's. okay, because by then. we'll be the sky gods. The Anunnaki. The sky gods from Nibiru. who traveled to the Earth in search of. gold needed to save their planet. And while here, they created the human. race as a slave species to mine that.

gold. Eventually, humans grew too. intelligent, greedy, arrogant, and. violent. Then they were wiped out in a. global flood when Nibiru passed close to. the Earth. This story is one of my all-time. favorites and it is a classic. The. Ancient Aliens television series is. built around this story. But is it true? Ancient astronaut. theorists say yes. I know they do. Almost all the Anunnaki ancient alien. story comes from the work of Zecharia.

Sitchin. His book, The 12th Planet, explained how the story is written word. for word in ancient Sumerian texts. His. first book was such a hit that he wrote. a whole series about ancient aliens and. their time here on Earth. Sitchin spent over 20 years studying. Sumerian tablets and teaching himself. ancient languages. He translated. thousands of texts and a legend was. born. So, who was Zecharia Sitchin? A. Sumerologist? An archaeologist? A. philologist? What in the name of Anu is.

a philologist? A philologist studies. languages that are no longer spoken, like Latin, ancient Greek, Sanskrit, Sumerian, and many others. So, philologist, archaeologist, Sumerologist, Sitchin was none of these. He claimed to. have an economics degree from the. University of London, though that's. never been confirmed. While he was working for a shipping. company in New York, he taught himself. Sumerian cuneiform. He then visited some. ancient sites and started to piece.

together the ancient astronaut theory. Now, I'm a huge fan of Zecharia Sitchin. I've read all of his books many times. and they're brilliant. But But he was. wrong about just about everything. Oh, no. His translations of Sumerian writing. are more interpretations than actual. translations. He even gets the meaning. of the word Anunnaki wrong. In the ancient texts of Sumeria, the term Anunnaki means those who from. the heavens came.

Yeah, that's wrong. The Ancient Aliens. TV show uses Zecharia Sitchin's. translation, not the real translation. Anunnaki actually means royal blood or. royal seed. Anu was the king of the gods. and his consort was named Ki. The. Anunnaki were descended from Anu and Ki. They became the gods in the Mesopotamian. pantheon. Sitchin's book was released in. 1976. There was no internet. There were. no databases of ancient writing and. cuneiform. But now there is.

Because we now know so much about how. the Sumerians spoke and wrote, we also. know that Zecharia Sitchin wasn't a very. good translator. He got even basic words. and grammar wrong. In fact, the title. The 12th Planet refers to the image on. the Sumerian cylinder seal VA 243. On the seal, the sun is surrounded by 12. objects that appear to be planets. Sitchin claims that the Sumerians knew. of all the planets in the solar system.

plus Nibiru and a few other objects. Now, the truth is, the Sumerians did. know about planets, but they didn't know. of any beyond Saturn. They didn't have. telescopes and Saturn was all that they. could see with the naked eye. Uh maybe. the Anunnaki told them. Hang on, I'm. getting there. Other things Sitchin got wrong. Not a. single Sumerian text mentions a flying. vehicle. Yes, we read about them in. other cultures. Ancient Indians wrote. extensively about Vimana, giant vessels.

that could soar above the clouds. And in. researching this episode, I learned all. kinds of interesting things about Vimana. that I didn't know. And if you want a. full video on that, let me know. It. would be a good one. Back to Sitchin. The Sumerians wrote about gold a few. times, but not that much. And there's. nothing in the text about mining gold to. heal the atmosphere on Nibiru. By the way, Nibiru means crossing. Sitchin interpreted this to mean it was. a planet that crossed the Earth's orbit. every 3,600 years, but that's not what.

Nibiru was. Nibiru or the crossing was. often associated with the solstice. It could refer to an object in the sky. that indicated a solstice or it could. mean the sun or possibly a star crossing. a certain way during a solstice. Sitchin took this idea and ran with it. He interpreted Nibiru to be a planet, but it wasn't. I'm not sure how he came. up with the 3,600 year orbit, but if a. huge object roared past the Earth every. 3,600 years, you think there'd be plenty.

of documentation. But maybe it was lost in the flood. Well, now the flood is interesting. Every culture and religion has a flood. myth. I think the count is up to 140 and. maybe more. And they're all very, very. similar stories. Frequently, eight. people are saved as in the stories of. Noah, Utnapishtim and many others. It's. been said that all the flood myths are. copied from the others and that the. flood in the Bible is derived from the. Epic of Gilgamesh. But when the ancient. Sumerians wrote about the flood, even to.

them, this was an event that happened in. their ancient history. The Younger. Dryas. It could be. I think it probably. was. I think all these myths were. referring to the same great flood and. they didn't copy each other. I think. they all arose independently. The. ancient Chinese, Mayans, Nordics and. Polynesians weren't intermingling in. ancient times. Yet they all tell the. same story. Probably because it. happened. Also, almost as many cultures have a. creation myth about a god adding his own.

essence to clay. The essence could be. DNA and the clay could represent early. hominids. Zecharia Sitchin's ancient astronaut. theory is considered pseudoscience. His. work has been called far worse. So, is the story of the Anunnaki and. Nibiru debunked? Well, not so fast. Debunkers have been asking for hard. evidence, physical proof of the. Anunnaki. For thousands of years, the Sumerian. cities of Eridu and Ur were myths, but.

they were eventually found. And in the. city of Ur, a tomb was discovered. In. the tomb was the skeleton of a queen of. the first Sumerian dynasty. The first. queen. Yep. That would make her a human. Anunnaki hybrid. Well, according to the. legend, it would. Is she? Sure looks like it. Yatzee! The ancient Sumerian city of Ur had been.

lost for thousands of years, but in the. early 20th century, it was discovered. In 1927, British archaeologist Leonard. Woolley discovered the remains of Queen. Puabi. She's queen of the first dynasty. of Ur, which, if you believe the ancient. astronaut theory, places her very close. to when the Anunnaki started creating. humans. It's been speculated that Queen Puabi. was a human Anunnaki hybrid. Her skull was huge, elongated, and the. Anunnaki were described as having skulls.

just like this. There's currently an. effort to have her DNA tested, but that. project has been met with some. resistance. Yeah, predictable. Now, Queen Puabi is not unique. Elongated. skulls have been found all over the. world. A large number of them have been. found in Peru. They're called the. Paracas skulls. Yeah, let me guess. They're also against DNA testing. They're actually not. Their DNA was. tested in 2014 and the results were. surprising.

The skulls date back thousands of years. and have DNA only found in people in the. Middle East. Uh uh correct me if I'm. wrong, but the Peru is not in the Middle. East, is it? It's not. And listen to this. The DNA from the. largest skull has genetics that. originate in Mesopotamia. They're real. Anunnaki. Well, mainstream science. doesn't think so. Yeah, mainstream. science can go pound. One of the researchers of the skulls,

L.A. Marzulli, believes the skulls. belong to Nephilim hybrids. And it's. interesting that people with Middle. Eastern DNA were in the jungles of South. America thousands of years ago. Are they. Nephilim? Yep. Anunnaki hybrids? Yep. I'll leave it to you to decide. Now, we know Sitchin was wrong about the. planet Nibiru. But in 2015, Caltech researchers found. evidence of a huge object deep in the. solar system. It's a planet about the. size of Neptune with an orbit so.

elliptical it reaches far beyond Pluto. Just like Nibiru. Yep. Now, there are no photographs of it yet, but it's so large that its gravity is. affecting the orbits of objects in the. Kuiper Belt. Researchers say there is a 98% chance. the object is there. Anunnaki. It was a long-held belief that Homo. sapiens' large brain is what made us so.

intelligent. But a Neanderthal brain was. the same size as ours. Now, they weren't. simple cavemen. Neanderthals built. families, societies, created art, music. and waged organized war. But Homo sapiens eventually wiped out. Neanderthals. How? Neanderthals were extremely strong, far. more physically powerful than humans, and they had the same size brain. They. should have destroyed us. Why didn't.

they? In 2013, Homo naledi was discovered. Homo naledi are an extinct species of. early humans. They had very small. brains, only about 1/3 the size of ours. Yet they knew how to make stone tools. They conducted funeral rituals, which. implies they had religion or some idea. of an afterlife, which also implies they. had language. They were very. intelligent. So, if brain size doesn't indicate. intelligence, what does?

Well, in 2020, a very interesting study. was released by scientists at the Max. Planck Institute of Cell Biology and. Genetics. They identified a genetic. mutation that triggered the faster. creation of neurons in the Homo sapien. brain. The gene is known as TKTL1. Other hominids also had this gene, including Neanderthals, but they all. differ from the modern human gene by one. amino acid. This small change wouldn't. come from crossbreeding or years of. evolution.

The only time we see a single gene. altered this specifically is when that. gene is targeted and manipulated with. technology, with genetic engineering. By altering this one gene, Homo sapiens. are able to grow neurons much faster. than any other hominid species, faster. by far. For 300,000 years, Homo sapiens didn't. change much. They didn't invent or. innovate. In fact, Neanderthals were the.

dominant species on Earth up until about. 50,000 years ago. Then something happened. Man suddenly started to create, reason. and invent. Within a few generations, Neanderthals were wiped out and Homo. sapiens conquered the world. And our. species has been rapidly advancing ever. since. That gene, TKTL1, with just a tiny. tweak, acted like a turbo switch in our.

minds and made us who we are today. Now, you may not believe in the. Anunnaki, but you still have to wonder, who flipped the switch? Thank you so much for hanging out with. me today. My name is A.J. That's Psycho. Fish. Anunnaki. Anunnaki. Are you happy. we finally did an Anunnaki episode and. it was a long one? Yeah, could have been longer. That's. what she said. Nice. This has been the.
