In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq under the pretense of weapons of mass destruction. But buried beneath the sands of Mesopotamia, some believe, was the true objective: an ancient Stargate, a portal left behind by the gods themselves.This film explores the forbidden theory that Saddam Hussein discovered advanced Anunnaki technology beneath the Great Ziggurat of Ur—and that his obsession with Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar was more than symbolic.From the fiery furnace of Daniel to the looting of the Baghdad Museum, we connect the dots between ancient texts, stolen artifacts, and hidden technology.Featuring declassified documents, Sumerian mythology, and suppressed archaeological evidence, this episode uncovers a global power struggle for something older—and far more dangerous—than oil or weapons.What was buried beneath the cradle of civilization?

(00:09):
Stargates, once thought to be the stuff of science fiction,
may in fact be remnants of a forgotten reality.
Stargates are advanced devices capable of bending space and
time, connecting distant points in the universe with a single
step. Known by many names across
cultures, a stargate is said to be a portal not of human design,
(00:32):
but of cosmic origin. Unlike any known technology,
they defy physics, offer instanttransportation across the stars,
and perhaps even through time itself.
The idea isn't confined to modern fantasy.
It's found in the mythologies ofthe Egyptians, the Mayans, the
Incas, and the Mesopotamians. Again and again we find stories
(00:56):
of gods descending from the sky or returning to the heavens
through sacred gateways. These weren't just metaphors,
they were memories of encounterswith advanced beings and
technologies indistinguishable from magic.
Hollywood mainstream the conceptwith a 1994 film, Stargate, and
its TV successors. But the inspiration didn't come
(01:19):
from fiction. It came from archaeology, myth,
and the ancient astronaut theory.
At the heart of many of these stories are the Anunnaki, the
gods of the Sumerian pantheon, being said to have come from the
stars and to have ruled the earth through divine knowledge
and technological supremacy. The Epic of Gilgamesh hints at
(01:39):
such technology. So do Babylonian legends.
Even King Nebuchadnezzar the Second, some believe, may have
possessed access to these celestial gateways.
Millennia later, whispers began to surface that a stargate,
possibly dating back to Nebuchadnezzar's reign, had come
into the possession of Saddam Hussein.
(01:59):
Saddam was obsessed with Babylon.
He saw himself as the modern reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar,
and he made sure the world knew it.
In Babylon, he oversaw extensivereconstruction projects, massive
stone structures, ancient ziggurats and palace ruins
brought back to life. Bricks were stamped with his
(02:19):
name, just as Nebuchadnezzar haddone.
Babylon, he declared, was risingagain.
For Saddam, this wasn't just political theater.
He believed He was continuing the legacy of the ancient king.
And during these restorations, it's rumored that something was
found, something buried beneath the ziggurats of summer, a
Stargate. Alongside it, according to
(02:42):
sources, were caches of Anunnakitechnology, including something
resembling A resurrection chamber, a device capable of
defying death itself. These were not relics.
They were weapons, tools of immense power far beyond
anything in modern arsenals. Saddam's ambition, some believe,
(03:03):
had grown beyond earthly conquest.
He now sought to wield the powerof the gods to rewrite the
destiny of human civilization, and this may have been the real
reason for the war. In 1998, during Operation Desert
Fox, a mysterious UFO was filmedover Baghdad, captured by CNN
(03:23):
cameras. In 2002, a caller to Art Bell's
late night radio show claimed that a UFO had crashed in Iraq
four years prior. the US, the caller said, feared Saddam was
reverse engineering alien technology.
He claimed the military was desperately looking for a public
pretext to invade before Saddam could unlock the secrets of 0
(03:45):
point energy, gravitational weapons and interstellar travel.
This, the caller warned, is Iraq's Roswell.
In the 1950s, archaeologists from Cambridge and the
University of Chicago excavated ancient Sumerian ruins near the
Little Zab River in a place called Zazi, deep in Kurdish
(04:07):
territory. They uncovered Neolithic sites
dating back to 10,000 BC Local legends spoke of star beings,
giant scorpions guarding palacesand underground temples sealed
by the gods. A limestone Cliff in Zazi bears
a strange painting, one of a Sumerian Prince worshipping an
Anunnaki deity, with an 11 pointed star shining behind the
(04:30):
throne. Some believe it marks the
entrance to an ancient alien base.
Reports even emerged from Soul Mania markets rumors that Saddam
had struck a deal with otherworldly visitors, that he
had offered them refuge beneath his summer fortress, Kalatjundi,
in exchange for weapons, knowledge, and power.
(04:51):
The valley was said to be protected by genetically
engineered scorpions, guardians bred in the labs of another
world. Saddam's reconstruction of
Babylon, his obsession with Nebuchadnezzar, his alleged
discovery of a Stargate, and hisdefiance of global powers all
converge into a chilling possibility.
The Iraq War wasn't just about oil.
(05:13):
It wasn't just about WMDS. It was about something buried,
something old, something not of this earth.
(05:41):
In the Bible, in the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar, king of
kings, ruler of the greatest empire on earth, commands the
construction of a towering golden image 90 feet tall, a
symbol of divine power and of total obedience.
He issues a decree. When the music plays, every man,
(06:02):
woman and child shall fall and worship the image, and whoever
does not shall be cast into a furnace of blazing fire.
But three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refuse.
They are brought before the king, and they do not beg, they
do not kneel. So Nebuchadnezzar orders the
(06:24):
furnace stoked 7 times hotter than normal.
The flames are so fierce they kill the soldiers tasked with
throwing the men inside. But what happens next is
unexplainable. The three men stand unharmed in
the center of the fire. And they are not alone.
A fourth figure appears beside them.
(06:46):
The guards fall back in fear. Nebuchadnezzar himself rises to
his feet. He asks did we not cast three
men bound into the fire? But I see 4 unbound walking in
the flames, and the fourth lookslike a son of the gods.
Not a metaphor, A presence. Some say it was divine
(07:07):
protection, others say it was a transfer, an activation, a
moment where the laws of nature gave way to something far older,
a Stargate event. Nebuchadnezzar's obsession with
the heavens was not symbolic. He believed the gods came from
the stars, and he believed he could bring them back.
(07:29):
His inscriptions speak of Marduknot as myth but as commander, a
being who established stations in the sky and opened gates on
both sides, references that somescholars believe point to
Nibiru, the crossing place. According to the Anuma Elish,
Marduk defeated Tiamat and builtthe architecture of the heavens,
(07:53):
anchoring divine points in space, opening channels between
realms, and Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt those points.
The Ishtar Gate, the Processional Way, the Tower of
Babel. These weren't symbols, they were
interfaces. And when Saddam followed in his
footsteps, he wasn't rebuilding a city.
(08:16):
He was reawakening a system following the blueprint of a
gatekeeper. September 2016 Iraq's Transport
Minister Qasem Finjan stands before the media in Dakar, a
place steeped in the echoes of ancient history.
(08:37):
He says something no one expects.
He claims that 5000 years ago, the ancient Sumerians built the
world's first airport, and it wasn't just for terrestrial
flights. According to Finjon, this site
connected Earth to the stars. Are we are old Ella Kituk Samo
(09:38):
El Kramer? Are we are old Ella Kitabella?
The LOL history begins from summer miss over.
(10:18):
I. The media.
(11:03):
Response was immediate laughter,dismissal.
Why would a sitting minister, bound by the rigors of public
service suddenly veer into talesof space ports and star
travellers? Was it a desperate attempt at
attention, or was Finjon pointing to something forgotten
by history or deliberately erased?
(11:26):
Not long after his declaration, Kazem Finjon's career began to
unravel. Officially, his charge was
corruption, accusations of tampering with government
contracts, and mismanagement, culminating in a prison sentence
handed down in absentia. And then he vanished.
(11:47):
Was Finjon's undoing the result of political missteps, or had he
crossed a line that powerful forces would not allow?
As of November 2024, Finjon was sentenced to an additional three
years in prison for violations related to government contracts.
His exact location remains unknown.
(12:19):
Doctor Michael Sala. Born in Melbourne, Australia, he
holds a PhD in Government from the University of Queensland.
Over his academic career, Sala served as a professor at
American University in Washington, DC, specializing in
conflict resolution, diplomacy and international politics.
His research also wasn't limitedto lecture halls.
(12:42):
Sala actively engaged with policy makers, peace
negotiations, and international diplomacy.
But somewhere along the way his path shifted dramatically.
While many dismiss claims of alien visitation or government
cover ups, it's far harder to dismiss Doctor Saleh himself.
(13:04):
Saleh was deeply respected, published in reputable journals,
and taken seriously within his field.
They don't exactly hand out pH DS in boxes of Cracker Jacks.
Yet he willingly stepped away from mainstream academia into a
far more controversial territory.
May 2001 National Press Club, Washington, DCA room packed with
(13:30):
journalists, camera crews, and alineup of military insiders.
Among the crowd sat Doctor Saleh, and that day he saw
something he couldn't Unsee. One by one, former intelligence
officers, pilots and government contractors stepped forward,
calm, collected and dead serious.
(13:52):
They spoke of crashed UFOs, of recovered alien bodies, of
secret programs buried so deep inside the military industrial
complex that even the president might not have full access.
And none of them flinched. Dr. Saleh was captivated.
The witnesses were credible men and women with security
(14:15):
clearances, detailed logs, and first hand involvement in
operations that most people aren't even aware exist.
He began researching these claims, cross referencing
whistleblower testimony with declassified documents, military
records, and ancient historical narratives.
What he found convinced him thatthe presence of extraterrestrial
(14:39):
life and the political efforts to conceal it was not just a
fringe theory, it was a buried reality.
But the response from academia was swift and cold.
He was told that his work had noplace within the university, and
in 2004, his position was terminated.
(15:01):
And he became one of the first serious voices to suggest that
we're not alone, and that world governments have known this all
along. In 2003, the world watched as
American forces rolled into Iraq.
Officially, it was about weaponsof mass destruction, about
preventing terrorism, about democracy.
(15:23):
But what if that wasn't the whole story?
What if buried beneath the ruinsof ancient Mesopotamia, beneath
the cradle of civilization itself, was something far more
dangerous? Doctor Michael Salah was one of
the first to suggest that the Iraq war may have had another
hidden objective to gain controlover an ancient Stargate.
(15:46):
The idea seems ripped from science fiction.
Salah's theory draws on ancient Sumerian texts, Babylonian
myths, and declassified government testimony from
whistleblowers who claim the US military has long been aware of
portal technology left behind bynon human intelligences.
(16:06):
According to these accounts, Iraq was once the domain of the
Anunnaki, extraterrestrial beings who either created or
heavily influenced early human civilization.
The site in question? Uruk, one of the first major
cities in human history. Some claim the US invasion
(16:26):
targeted the ancient city of Ur,the ziggurat of Ur, and even the
museum in Baghdad, which was looted within days of the
invasion. Among the stolen or seized
artifacts were tablets, cylinderseals and relics inscribed with
strange symbology, many tied directly to the myths of the
(16:47):
Anunnaki and the gates of the gods.
Multiple independent sources, some cited by Saleh, others
echoed in classified testimony and even remote viewing
sessions, claimed the US military secured a buried device
beneath a rocky soil, a portal, a stargate said to be dormant
(17:09):
but recoverable, a device that allowed travel between worlds or
dimensions. According to Salah and those
aligned with this theory, the USgovernment feared that Saddam
Hussein had either discovered this artifact or was attempting
to activate it. Hussein was obsessed with
Babylonian grandeur. He even rebuilt the ancient
(17:31):
cities. Ishtar Gate.
Who today remembers the legends of the grandeur that was ancient
Babylon? President Saddam is one who
does. Indeed, For the president of
modern day Iraq, ancient Babylonhas more than mere historical
significance. This is the southern palace of
(17:52):
King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6th century BC.
He was the Middle East's top dog, and this is the throne room
of King Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of the greatest empire the
world had known until this time.And he made sure that everyone
did know about it too. And you?
Can see some inscription from the time of Nebuchadnezzar.
(18:12):
We'll tell as it is the translator of this description.
I'm Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the world.
Reconstruct this building to my family and to my God.
I hope to help me in the lower life that's mean in the date
life. He'd like to put his stamp on
all the bricks that are in Babylon.
The palace was rebuilt by President Saddam.
(18:35):
He sees Nebuchadnezzar as the first Iraqi revolutionary and a
man to emulate. It says in the era of President
Saddam Hussein, all Babylon was reconstructed in three stages.
From Nebuchadnezzar to Saddam Hussein, Babylon is rising
again. In 2003, German archaeologists
(18:58):
announced a significant discovery in Iraq, what they
believed to be the tomb of the legendary King Gilgamesh, a
central figure in the ancient Sumerian epic bearing his name.
Just five months later, Iraq wasinvaded by the United States.
Amidst the ensuing conflict, theIraq National Museum in Baghdad
(19:20):
was looted. This looting wasn't a random act
of chaos, it appeared to be a well coordinated operation
employing shape charges and other professional techniques.
Thousands of invaluable artifacts, including those with
potential connections to the Anunnaki, were stolen.
(19:41):
The figure of Gilgamesh is oftendepicted as a giant in ancient
texts. Interestingly, there are modern
accounts of soldiers encountering giant figures in
the Middle Eastern deserts, sparking further speculation
about the connections between ancient myths and contemporary
events. Following the invasion, the US
(20:02):
military established a base in the ancient city of Babylon.
This presence led to the destruction of some historical
artifacts, and numerous items were taken from the site.
It is widely believed that the military was searching for
something of significant historical and possibly esoteric
value. The city of Nimrud was founded
(20:25):
more than 3300 years ago. It was one of the capitals of
the Assyrian Empire. The Iraqi government confirmed
that the site was attacked by armed extremists using
bulldozers on March 5th, 2005. Why would so many powerful
entities and governments go to such lengths to acquire or
(20:47):
destroy these ancient Sumerian artifacts?
What secrets could these relics hold?
A Freedom of Information Act request revealed an e-mail from
a person named Denatrice Senegarsent to then Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton. This e-mail requested documents
related to the Resurrection Chamber of Gilgamesh, the
(21:10):
location of his body, and the buried Nephilim.
These emails, which were later leaked through WikiLeaks between
October 7th and November 4th, 2006, have since sparked
widespread speculation and intrigue.
Doctor Michael Saleh has referenced several
whistleblowers in relation to the alleged discovery of a
(21:30):
Stargate in Iraq. While he often maintains the
anonymity of his sources, some individuals have publicly shared
their accounts. Dan Burisch, a former
microbiologist allegedly involved in secret government
projects, claimed participation in a covert team tasked with
locating portal technologies in Iraq.
(21:52):
He asserted that the US invasionaimed to secure ancient Stargate
technology. Corey Goode, who also claims
involvement in secret space programs, described ancient
portals found globally, including in Iraq.
He suggested that the US sought these technologies during the
Iraq invasion. In 1985, Saddam Hussein ordered
(22:16):
the restoration of the great ziggarat of ER.
Even today, you can still see and use the massive stairways he
had installed. He believed ER was sacred
ground, the place where gods once walked.
According to the Sumerians, thiswas where the gods descended,
ruled the earth, taught kings, built cities, and then vanished.
(22:40):
The ziggarat was a beacon duringthe restoration.
Workers uncovered sealed chambers, rooms not listed on
any archaeological plans. Inside, strange inscriptions,
symbols that didn't match Sumerian kuni form, tools or
objects made of unfamiliar alloys, burned glyphs resembling
stars, gates and spirals. The site was locked down.
(23:04):
Workers were reassigned, equipment removed under military
escort. Whatever was found, it never saw
the light of day again. After the invasion, the US
military did something strange. They built a base right on top
of the great ziggurat of UR. Not beside it, not near it.
Directly on top. The oldest temple in human
(23:24):
history turned into a forward operating base.
The official story? Logistics, proximity,
coincidence. But the soldiers who were
stationed there told a differentstory.
They described areas of the sitebeing cordoned off, patrolled
off limits. Archaeologists were removed,
(23:45):
locals pushed out cameras banned.
Sections of the ziggurat sealed,covered. 1 soldier said it felt
like they weren't guarding a monument, they were guarding
something inside it. If Saddam had found something
beneath, ER, the US came to takeit.
(24:05):
But what if the ziggurat was never just a temple?
What if it was a machine? What if the ancients didn't just
build monuments, they built terminals, interfaces to
something larger, A Stargate network, a grid of hidden
technology buried beneath layersof myth and empire.
(24:26):
Iraq was just one node, but a powerful 1, and Saddam knew it.
That's why he rebuilt Babylon, had his name carved into every
stone, echoed the proclamations of Nebuchadnezzar.
He believed Babylon was rising again, that the gate would open
and the world watched him. Ancient kings spoke of gods
(25:10):
descending from the sky. Modern powers wage wars over
ruins, and buried beneath it allis a secret no one is supposed
to find. Maybe it's just myth.
Maybe it's buried truth. But whatever was uncovered in
the deserts of Iraq, whatever Saddam found beneath the
ziggurats and temples, it was enough to rewrite history.
(25:34):
And maybe that's why they had toburn it.
We were told the Iraq war was about weapons of mass
destruction. We were told it was about oil,
about terrorism, about freedom. But what if that was just the
surface? What if it was about something
older, something buried? The tomb of Gilgamesh, A
(25:55):
resurrection chamber, a stargatelocked behind the gates of
Babylon? The whispers are always the
same, artifacts taken, sights sealed, records scrubbed, and
the world moves on, never askingwhy.
They told us the Anunnaki were just a myth.
(26:16):
They told us the gods never came, but maybe they were here.
Maybe they left something behind.
And maybe, just maybe, someone found it.
Saddam believed he was chosen tofinish what the old kings began,
and if that belief was based on something real, then the war
(26:36):
wasn't about controlling the future, it was about rewriting
the past, or worse, unsealing it.
The story isn't over because theziggurats are still there and
whatever is sleeping beneath them hasn't woken up yet.
(27:34):
The. The.
(29:02):
The. None.

officers, pilots and government contractors stepped forward,
calm, collected and dead serious.
(13:52):
They spoke of crashed UFOs, of recovered alien bodies, of
secret programs buried so deep inside the military industrial
complex that even the president might not have full access.
And none of them flinched. Dr. Saleh was captivated.
The witnesses were credible men and women with security
(14:15):
clearances, detailed logs, and first hand involvement in
operations that most people aren't even aware exist.
He began researching these claims, cross referencing
whistleblower testimony with declassified documents, military
records, and ancient historical narratives.
What he found convinced him thatthe presence of extraterrestrial
(14:39):
life and the political efforts to conceal it was not just a
fringe theory, it was a buried reality.
But the response from academia was swift and cold.
He was told that his work had noplace within the university, and
in 2004, his position was terminated.
(15:01):
And he became one of the first serious voices to suggest that
we're not alone, and that world governments have known this all
along. In 2003, the world watched as
American forces rolled into Iraq.
Officially, it was about weaponsof mass destruction, about
preventing terrorism, about democracy.
(15:23):
But what if that wasn't the whole story?
What if buried beneath the ruinsof ancient Mesopotamia, beneath
the cradle of civilization itself, was something far more
dangerous? Doctor Michael Salah was one of
the first to suggest that the Iraq war may have had another
hidden objective to gain controlover an ancient Stargate.
(15:46):
The idea seems ripped from science fiction.
Salah's theory draws on ancient Sumerian texts, Babylonian
myths, and declassified government testimony from
whistleblowers who claim the US military has long been aware of
portal technology left behind bynon human intelligences.
(16:06):
According to these accounts, Iraq was once the domain of the
Anunnaki, extraterrestrial beings who either created or
heavily influenced early human civilization.
The site in question? Uruk, one of the first major
cities in human history. Some claim the US invasion
(16:26):
targeted the ancient city of Ur,the ziggurat of Ur, and even the
museum in Baghdad, which was looted within days of the
invasion. Among the stolen or seized
artifacts were tablets, cylinderseals and relics inscribed with
strange symbology, many tied directly to the myths of the
(16:47):
Anunnaki and the gates of the gods.
Multiple independent sources, some cited by Saleh, others
echoed in classified testimony and even remote viewing
sessions, claimed the US military secured a buried device
beneath a rocky soil, a portal, a stargate said to be dormant
(17:09):
but recoverable, a device that allowed travel between worlds or
dimensions. According to Salah and those
aligned with this theory, the USgovernment feared that Saddam
Hussein had either discovered this artifact or was attempting
to activate it. Hussein was obsessed with
Babylonian grandeur. He even rebuilt the ancient
(17:31):
cities. Ishtar Gate.
Who today remembers the legends of the grandeur that was ancient
Babylon? President Saddam is one who
does. Indeed, For the president of
modern day Iraq, ancient Babylonhas more than mere historical
significance. This is the southern palace of
(17:52):
King Nebuchadnezzar in the 6th century BC.
He was the Middle East's top dog, and this is the throne room
of King Nebuchadnezzar, the ruler of the greatest empire the
world had known until this time.And he made sure that everyone
did know about it too. And you?
Can see some inscription from the time of Nebuchadnezzar.
(18:12):
We'll tell as it is the translator of this description.
I'm Nebuchadnezzar, the king of the world.
Reconstruct this building to my family and to my God.
I hope to help me in the lower life that's mean in the date
life. He'd like to put his stamp on
all the bricks that are in Babylon.
The palace was rebuilt by President Saddam.
(18:35):
He sees Nebuchadnezzar as the first Iraqi revolutionary and a
man to emulate. It says in the era of President
Saddam Hussein, all Babylon was reconstructed in three stages.
From Nebuchadnezzar to Saddam Hussein, Babylon is rising
again. In 2003, German archaeologists
(18:58):
announced a significant discovery in Iraq, what they
believed to be the tomb of the legendary King Gilgamesh, a
central figure in the ancient Sumerian epic bearing his name.
Just five months later, Iraq wasinvaded by the United States.
Amidst the ensuing conflict, theIraq National Museum in Baghdad
(19:20):
was looted. This looting wasn't a random act
of chaos, it appeared to be a well coordinated operation
employing shape charges and other professional techniques.
Thousands of invaluable artifacts, including those with
potential connections to the Anunnaki, were stolen.
(19:41):
The figure of Gilgamesh is oftendepicted as a giant in ancient
texts. Interestingly, there are modern
accounts of soldiers encountering giant figures in
the Middle Eastern deserts, sparking further speculation
about the connections between ancient myths and contemporary
events. Following the invasion, the US
(20:02):
military established a base in the ancient city of Babylon.
This presence led to the destruction of some historical
artifacts, and numerous items were taken from the site.
It is widely believed that the military was searching for
something of significant historical and possibly esoteric
value. The city of Nimrud was founded
(20:25):
more than 3300 years ago. It was one of the capitals of
the Assyrian Empire. The Iraqi government confirmed
that the site was attacked by armed extremists using
bulldozers on March 5th, 2005. Why would so many powerful
entities and governments go to such lengths to acquire or
(20:47):
destroy these ancient Sumerian artifacts?
What secrets could these relics hold?
A Freedom of Information Act request revealed an e-mail from
a person named Denatrice Senegarsent to then Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton. This e-mail requested documents
related to the Resurrection Chamber of Gilgamesh, the
(21:10):
location of his body, and the buried Nephilim.
These emails, which were later leaked through WikiLeaks between
October 7th and November 4th, 2006, have since sparked
widespread speculation and intrigue.
Doctor Michael Saleh has referenced several
whistleblowers in relation to the alleged discovery of a
(21:30):
Stargate in Iraq. While he often maintains the
anonymity of his sources, some individuals have publicly shared
their accounts. Dan Burisch, a former
microbiologist allegedly involved in secret government
projects, claimed participation in a covert team tasked with
locating portal technologies in Iraq.
(21:52):
He asserted that the US invasionaimed to secure ancient Stargate
technology. Corey Goode, who also claims
involvement in secret space programs, described ancient
portals found globally, including in Iraq.
He suggested that the US sought these technologies during the
Iraq invasion. In 1985, Saddam Hussein ordered
(22:16):
the restoration of the great ziggarat of ER.
Even today, you can still see and use the massive stairways he
had installed. He believed ER was sacred
ground, the place where gods once walked.
According to the Sumerians, thiswas where the gods descended,
ruled the earth, taught kings, built cities, and then vanished.
(22:40):
The ziggarat was a beacon duringthe restoration.
Workers uncovered sealed chambers, rooms not listed on
any archaeological plans. Inside, strange inscriptions,
symbols that didn't match Sumerian kuni form, tools or
objects made of unfamiliar alloys, burned glyphs resembling
stars, gates and spirals. The site was locked down.
(23:04):
Workers were reassigned, equipment removed under military
escort. Whatever was found, it never saw
the light of day again. After the invasion, the US
military did something strange. They built a base right on top
of the great ziggurat of UR. Not beside it, not near it.
Directly on top. The oldest temple in human
(23:24):
history turned into a forward operating base.
The official story? Logistics, proximity,
coincidence. But the soldiers who were
stationed there told a differentstory.
They described areas of the sitebeing cordoned off, patrolled
off limits. Archaeologists were removed,
(23:45):
locals pushed out cameras banned.
Sections of the ziggurat sealed,covered. 1 soldier said it felt
like they weren't guarding a monument, they were guarding
something inside it. If Saddam had found something
beneath, ER, the US came to takeit.
(24:05):
But what if the ziggurat was never just a temple?
What if it was a machine? What if the ancients didn't just
build monuments, they built terminals, interfaces to
something larger, A Stargate network, a grid of hidden
technology buried beneath layersof myth and empire.
(24:26):
Iraq was just one node, but a powerful 1, and Saddam knew it.
That's why he rebuilt Babylon, had his name carved into every
stone, echoed the proclamations of Nebuchadnezzar.
He believed Babylon was rising again, that the gate would open
and the world watched him. Ancient kings spoke of gods
(25:10):
descending from the sky. Modern powers wage wars over
ruins, and buried beneath it allis a secret no one is supposed
to find. Maybe it's just myth.
Maybe it's buried truth. But whatever was uncovered in
the deserts of Iraq, whatever Saddam found beneath the
ziggurats and temples, it was enough to rewrite history.
(25:34):
And maybe that's why they had toburn it.
We were told the Iraq war was about weapons of mass
destruction. We were told it was about oil,
about terrorism, about freedom. But what if that was just the
surface? What if it was about something
older, something buried? The tomb of Gilgamesh, A
(25:55):
resurrection chamber, a stargatelocked behind the gates of
Babylon? The whispers are always the
same, artifacts taken, sights sealed, records scrubbed, and
the world moves on, never askingwhy.
They told us the Anunnaki were just a myth.
(26:16):
They told us the gods never came, but maybe they were here.
Maybe they left something behind.
And maybe, just maybe, someone found it.
Saddam believed he was chosen tofinish what the old kings began,
and if that belief was based on something real, then the war
(26:36):
wasn't about controlling the future, it was about rewriting
the past, or worse, unsealing it.
The story isn't over because theziggurats are still there and
whatever is sleeping beneath them hasn't woken up yet.
(27:34):
The. The.
(29:02):
The. None.
