Were the first “gods” teachers, jailers, or survivors from a forgotten cycle? This film follows the fingerprints that keep showing up across civilizations—clay, blood, breath, law “from heaven,” calendars that sync the crowd, and creation stories that read like procedures. We don’t tell you what to believe. We map the pattern and ask the questions most people avoid.
Drawing on restored 16mm archival footage and new narration, we trace:
Sumer’s Anunnaki and the meaning of Anu/Ki (“those who from heaven to earth came”)
Egypt’s pre-dynastic memories and kingship “descended” from the sky
Vedic gods, vimanas, and weapons of the heavens
The Eden inversion: Enki as serpent, knowledge vs. control
The neuroscience of devotion (the so-called “worship gene”)
Resets and deep time (Younger Dryas, sea-level rise, Silurian hypothesis)
The “creation recipe” echoed worldwide: earth + essence + activation
Our stance: we don’t know what the Anunnaki truly were. Maybe off-world engineers, maybe human survivors from an advanced prehistory, maybe entities from another layer of reality. What matters is learning to recognize the install—the tools that shape minds and cities.

This leader is provided to permit the projectionist to
adjust the projector before the film begins.
The volume and tone are identical with the soundtrack
which follows. Across the world, the ruins
(00:52):
still stand. Ziggurats rising from the
deserts of Mesopotamia, temples carved in stone along the Nile,
pyramids piercing the jungles ofMexico, columns broken and
scattered across the hills of Greece.
Civilizations separated by oceans and millennia.
(01:12):
And yet they all tell the same story.
They spoke of shining beings whodescended from the heavens,
gods, angels, or something stranger.
They gave fire, law, and civilization to mankind.
They taught astronomy, medicine,and war.
They punished rebellion with floods and demanded worship in
return. What were these beings, truly?
(01:35):
Were they aliens from distant worlds?
Interdimensional travellers slipping into our reality for
reasons we still cannot grasp? Perhaps they were something
beyond all of these categories, something outside of human
comprehension. The Sumerians called them the
Anunnaki, and their shadow lingers through every great
civilization of the ancient world.
(01:57):
Join us as we search for the truth.
About where we came from on the Anunnaki connection.
(02:21):
For more than 2000 years, these ruins remained undiscovered.
For centuries, the only people who saw these remains were
occasional nomads who camped near here.
At the turn of this century, when archaeologists first came
to Iraq, or as it was called then Mesopotamia, they were
looking for the biblical city Babylon.
(02:42):
But they uncovered even older civilizations.
The digging started here in the Fertile Crescent.
The land between the rivers looked promising because of the
possibilities for irrigation agriculture.
Archaeologists knew that early civilizations grew along the
banks of major rivers. Here it was the Tigris and
Euphrates. These rivers were fed by waters
(03:04):
from the mountains to the north.Not far from here, ancient
cities have been discovered. Around 2700 BC.
They were populated by Sumeriansin this area.
Archaeologists have found proof that cereal agriculture was the
basis of that civilization. Irrigated fields produced a
(03:27):
dependable food supply for Sumerians.
They dug ditches and brought river water to their dry lands,
the first step toward large scale farming.
Farmers have been irrigating this area for nearly 5000 years.
Canal systems crisscrossed the whole land.
(03:47):
The Sumerians turned the desert into a fertile delta with an
abundant food supply. The population grew with summer,
divided into several city states.
This pattern was quite differentfrom Egypt, which at the same
time was developing into a unified country.
We think about 200,000 people lived in a typical Sumerian city
(04:10):
state. The temple was the center of
Sumerian city life. At UR, archaeologists uncovered
another temple called a ziggurat.
Each city state was organized around the worship of the deity
whose home was the temple. Mainstream archaeology tells us
that summer was the birth place of civilization, the first
(04:32):
cities, the first writing, irrigation canals, temples, and
laws. But the Sumerians themselves
never claimed credit for these breakthroughs.
In their own tablets, they wrotethat it was the Anunnaki who
descended from the heavens and laid the foundations of culture.
The word Anunnaki itself tells us who these beings were.
It comes from 2 root words in the Sumerian tongue, Anu and Ki.
(04:57):
Anu was the supreme God of the heavens, the father of the
divine assembly, ruler of the sky.
Ki was the earth, the realm of man.
And so the Anunnaki were literally those who from heaven
came to earth, beings who crossed the boundary between the
divine and the mortal, who descended to shape the world of
men. At the head of their pantheon
(05:19):
was Anu, the distant Sky Father,seated in the highest heavens.
Beneath him was his son Enlil, the Storm God, who cleaved
heaven and earth in two. Enlil became Lord of the air and
the atmosphere, and it was he who decided the fate of mankind.
His brother was Enki, Lord of the waters, master of wisdom and
(05:40):
creation, who dwelt in the AB Zoo, the subterranean deep.
Enki was the God who shaped mankind itself and who later
defied his brother to save humanity from the flood.
Alongside them stood Ninherzog, the Mother Goddess, described as
the nourisher of humanity and the womb of the earth.
There was Inana, or Ishtar, goddess of love, war and
(06:04):
fertility, both alluring and dangerous.
There was UTU Shamash, the sun God, who brought justice and
light and handed the laws to kings.
Together these beings formed thegreat assembly of the Anunnaki.
The tablets tell us that the Anunnaki chose who would rule
and that the laws and boundariesof civilization were decreed by
(06:25):
them. When Hammurabi inscribed his
famous code of laws, he creditedShamash, the sun God, as the
divine source of justice. Mainstream historians explain
the fall of summer through conquest, soil exhaustion, and
shifting rivers. But in the tablets, floods,
(06:45):
famines, and plagues were punishments sent by the gods.
When humanity grew noisy and rebellious, Enlil sought to wipe
them out. It was Enki who intervened,
warning a chosen man to build anark and survive the deluge.
The biblical Noah is only the later echo of this much older
Sumerian tale. In Egypt too, we will find
(07:07):
stories of gods who came from the stars, who ruled before the
1st Pharaohs, and who shaped thedestiny of mankind.
Farming began to develop in the Middle East around 8000 BC and
then spread after 3000 years into the Nile River Valley and
the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
(07:29):
There the Mesopotamian city states would evolve, but in the
Nile Valley a unified Kingdom ofEgypt would come into being.
It's believed that the people who settled Egypt had been
forced by the advancing deserts of North Africa into the Valley
of the Nile. The people found the river, a
(07:49):
plentiful source of water for their herds.
They discovered that they could irrigate the land and grow
crops. They were among the first of the
ancient peoples to become food producers instead of food
gatherers. They rapidly developed the
science of agriculture. The more ambitious projects, the
(08:14):
digging of irrigation ditches and canals, demanded large scale
planning and the cooperation of many people.
Beside this steppe pyramid lie many tombs of nobles.
Inside these and other tombs, relics have been found clues to
the way Egyptians lived and worked.
(08:37):
Ancient hammers and chisels showus how they carved words and
pictures into stone. Molds for making bricks show
that ancient brickmakers work much like brickmakers still do
in Egypt. Models of ancient Egyptian homes
found in the tombs are similar to the mud brick homes in many
(08:59):
villages today. Hoes like this relic were used
by ancient farmers to cultivate the land.
From the handheld ho, the Egyptians developed the plow
that could be pulled by animals,a great step forward in the
progress of civilization. The Egyptians celebrated the
(09:20):
plow in tomb paintings. With the plow, they could
cultivate more land and grow thelarge amount of food that was
needed to support a great population.
(09:42):
The Egyptians also developed a system of writing called
hieroglyphics that was originally designed to be carved
on stone and was also used laterfor recording important
religious works such as the Bookof the Dead.
A simplified form of hieroglyphics was written on
paper. Another ancient Egyptian
invention, a dynasty of all powerful Pharaohs ruled the
(10:06):
country. They claim their authority
directly from the gods. Egyptians had many gods.
Mainstream archaeology presents Egypt as the natural outgrowth
of the Nile, a river that gave life to a desert, allowed
agriculture to flourish, and fedthe rise of a unified Kingdom.
(10:28):
It speaks of the pyramids as tombs, of irrigation as
ingenuity, and of Pharaohs as mortal kings who claimed divine
favor. But beneath the sands lies
another layer of the story, one where Egypt was not just the
creation of men, but of gods whocame from beyond.
(10:48):
The Egyptian pantheon is vast, but at its heart are patterns
that mirror the older Sumerian world.
Osiris, Lord of the underworld and resurrection, carries echoes
of Enki, the wise God who descended into the deep,
associated with water in the renewal of life.
Isis, Osiris's consort, mother, and magician, reflects
(11:12):
Ninhersag, the Sumerian mother goddess who nourished humanity.
Horus, the Falcon, sky God who Avengers his father, recalls the
storm bearing heirs of Enlil, gods of rulership and warfare.
And Thoth, scribe of the gods and keeper of hidden wisdom, is
remembered in Mesopotamia as Ningush Zeta, the Serpent, Lord
(11:35):
of the Tree of Truth, a mediatorbetween heaven and earth.
Even the great monuments bear the signature of a knowledge
that seems to exceed their time.The pyramids, officially
described as tombs, aligned withOrion's belt.
And the stars of the heavens, the Sphinx, half man and half
lion, points to the Zodiac itself, watching over the ages.
(11:58):
To the Egyptians, these were notjust stone, they were machines
of eternity, bridges between theworld of men in the realm of the
gods. Pharaoh's ruled as divine kings,
but their authority was never their own.
Every inscription declares that kingship descended from the
gods. The Pharaoh was Horus in life,
Osiris and death, a living conduit of divine blood.
(12:21):
This is the same claim made in Mesopotamia, that kingship
itself was a gift of the Anunnaki.
Egypt remembered it differently,but the theme is the same.
Rulers on earth, legitimized by beings from heaven.
The gods of Egypt, like those ofsummer, carried the marks of the
Anunnaki. Anu, the distant sky Father,
(12:43):
becomes RA, the shining sun at the highest point.
Enlil, the Stormbringer becomes Set, the Chaotic force who rules
the desert and the storm. Enki, the wise Lord of Water,
becomes Osiris, drowned, dismembered, yet reborn as Lord
of Life. The myth changes, but the
(13:03):
pattern remains. Ancient texts speak of the
Shemsu Hor, the followers of Horus, a race of divine kings
who ruled before the 1st Dynasties.
Some say they came from a lost island swallowed by the sea.
Others claim they descended fromthe stars.
The Sumerians would have recognized them as the Anunnaki.
(13:25):
In Egypt, the Anunnaki wore new faces.
They became gods of death and resurrection, of sun and flood,
of the Nile and the sky. But their role remained the
same, the givers of kingship, the masters of knowledge, the
rulers who stood at the threshold between heaven and
earth. India country stretching nearly
(13:51):
2000 miles from north to South. A giant triangle separated from
the rest of the world by vast stretches of ocean and the
mountain barrier of the Himalayas across the flat desert
land. India's early invaders coming
(14:11):
down the mountain passes drove the original settlers to the
South. These Aryan conquerors occupied
northern India and ushered in the Hindu period of history.
As they expanded, the Aryans settled in what are today Patna,
Delhi and other northern cities.These ruins stand near Delhi to
(14:35):
this day. It was near Delhi that according
to legend, a mighty war was fought between rival forces of
Hinduism. Out of it, a unique set of
beliefs and rules emerged, touching upon all phases of life
(14:56):
throughout India. Imposing temples stand witness
to the deep religious feeling ofthe Hindu.
To Hindus seeking religious knowledge, individual well-being
and possessions are unimportant,and so a great part of the Hindu
creative genius has turned to religion.
Each of the many forms of the Supreme Being, to whom all
(15:18):
Hindus pray, has its temples andits worshippers.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and the numerous forms and incarnations
of these gods are rendered in stone.
(15:38):
The highest art of India is seenin carvings made during the
period of the Gupta dynasty. Gupta kings ruled northern India
in the 4th, 5th and 6th centuries AD, and under the
Guptas, some of the greatest masterpieces of Indian art were
created. Although it lasted less than 300
(15:59):
years, it is considered the classical age of India's
culture. After the 8th century, new waves
of invaders swept down on the plains, burning, fighting,
pillaging Arabs. Afghans, Turks, all of them
fanatic Muslims, littered the Indian countryside with ruins.
(16:29):
Among the wreckage stands this wrought iron column of one of
the Gupta kings as a reminder ofthe short glory of this proud
Hindu dynasty. Not far from it, near Delhi, a
Moslem tower of victory was erected.
Made of carved Redstone and rising 238 feet above the
(16:50):
ground, it symbolizes the might of the Moslem conquerors in
India. The ancient Vedas and the
Mahabharata preserve stories of gods who wielded immense power,
weapons of fire and machines that could fly across the sky.
To modern historians, these are just allegories, metaphors for
(17:14):
storms, lightning and cosmic forces.
But when read alongside the stories of summer in Egypt, the
parallels are too close to ignore.
The Rigveda describes the storm God Indra, possessor of the
Thunderbolt, who battles serpents and demons with a
weapon called the vajra, much like the Mesopotamian Enlil, a
(17:35):
punishing storm God, and the Greek Zeus hurling thunderbolts
from the sky. The power of the heavens was a
weapon, devastating and precise,remembered in each tradition
under a different name, Shiva the destroyer and Creator.
His wrath, but also his role as renewer, sounds much like Enki,
(17:56):
who could both preserve life andunleash the waters upon the
earth. In the Mahabharata, the gods
grant mankind celestial weapons called Astra, capable of
levelling entire armies, a memory perhaps of technologies
once wielded by the same beings,the Sumerians called the
Anunnaki. Even the stars themselves are
(18:16):
woven into the myths. The Vedic nakshatra of
Mrigashira links to Orion, the cosmic hunter whose pursuit
across the heavens shows up in Greek, Norse and Sumerian
traditions. Was this constellation sacred
across cultures because it was home to the same gods,
remembered under different names?
(18:38):
The Hindu tales also speak of flying machines, vimanas, that
carried the gods across the sky,waging war between heavens and
earth. Ancient astronaut theorists see
in this the echo of Mesopotamia's sky Chariots, the
vehicles of the Anunnaki. If the gods of India and the
gods of summer are the same, then the memory of these
(19:01):
machines may have been preservedacross continents, retold as
myth but rooted in reality. So where did these Anunnaki gods
(19:41):
come from? Anthropologists tell us that
religion began as a way to explain the unexplainable.
Early humans, confronted with storms, floods, death and the
stars, gave these forces names and personalities.
Gods, they say, were born out offear, ritual and imagination,
tools for survival in a dangerous world.
(20:03):
From this perspective, the Anunnaki were nothing more than
symbols, mythic projections of human needs.
But here's the problem. The Sumerians didn't tell us
about theoretical ideas that they had just bouncing around in
their heads. They wrote about beings, flesh
and blood, rulers who descended from the heavens above them, who
(20:24):
built cities, apportioned the land, and decreed the laws of
civilization. These texts describe a time
before the flood, when kingship was first lowered from heaven
and when gods walked among men. Then came catastrophe, the great
deluge that reset the world. Afterward, only fragments of
(20:46):
memory remained. This fractured memory may be
what later civilizations inherited, a recollection of a
time before humanity was remade,or perhaps before the Earth
itself was fully prepared for human life.
Some have speculated this was not merely A mythic flood, but
the echo of something larger, the terraforming of the planet,
(21:08):
the reshaping of the earth by forces beyond human
comprehension. The further back we look, the
stranger it becomes. Our written records vanish past
the 4th Millennium BC, before summer history dissolves into
prehistory. And yet scattered clues remain.
Megalithic sites like Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, older than
(21:31):
Sumaya by millennia, show advanced astronomical alignments
and architecture long before theso-called first civilization.
The Sumerian King List describesreigns of 10s of thousands of
years before the flood. Geological evidence hints at
sudden shifts around 10,000 BC, when ice sheets melted and
global seas surged. Something happened, something
(21:55):
that broke the line of human memory.
It all started many thousands ofyears ago.
It started in the Garden of Eden, and I want to read you
about it in the 3rd chapter of Genesis.
It's all recorded, all the troubles, all the difficulties,
all the problems, all the headaches, all the wars, all the
confusions, all the greed and jealousy that we have today
(22:16):
started in the Garden of Eden many thousands of years ago.
In Genesis we are told that God placed man in Eden with one
command, do not eat. From the tree of knowledge, a
serpent appears, whispers to Eveand tempts her to defy the
command She eats, gives to Adam and their eyes are opened.
(22:36):
For this they are cursed, cast out, condemned to suffering.
This is the foundation of the biblical story.
Mankind is guilty forever, in need of obedience.
But in the older Sumerian texts,the story is not one of sin, it
is one of rebellion, of survival.
(22:56):
The serpent is none other than Enki, Lord of Wisdom, who defies
his brother Enlil by giving humanity forbidden knowledge.
Just as Prometheus stole fire from the gods, Enki gave mankind
the tools to live, to think, to see.
It is Enlil, the storm God, the Punisher who wished to keep
(23:18):
mankind ignorant, who later tried to wipe humanity out in
the flood. In this older version it is not
the serpent who lies, but the so-called God.
The biblical authors twisted thestory.
The serpent was not the villain,instead a protector.
Enki was cast as Satan because he gave humanity what the ruling
(23:40):
gods wanted to withhold. Knowledge, freedom, the spark of
civilization. And this is where religion
begins. From the start, it was about
control, a system to keep mankind in line, to turn fear of
the divine into obedience to rulers who claim to speak for
the gods. Whatever the Anunnaki were,
(24:02):
alien or Angel, they knew our weakness, our hunger for
meaning, our tendency to worship.
Did they take advantage of that,Or did they plant it in US
deliberately, a feature, not a flaw, programming us to kneel
before them? Modern science has even found
hints of this in our biology. Some researchers speak of a God
(24:24):
gene, suggesting that spirituality, even the urge to
worship, is hard wired into our DNA.
Is that evolution or engineering?
Were we designed to seek gods? To crave authority, To hand over
our power? Does a built in bias towards
spirituality live in our DNA? The phrase God gene came from
(24:45):
geneticist Dean Hammer, who argued in 2004 that variation in
a neurotransmitter gene called VMAT 2 helps tilt some people
towards self transcendence, the trait psychologists use as a
proxy for spirituality. It works as a transporter that
loads dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine
(25:06):
into synaptic vesicles, the machinery that shapes reward,
salience, awe, and motivation. The spirituality knob can be
measured as self transcendence in Cloninger's Temperament and
Character inventory. This trait does show genetic
influence. If the Anunnaki were real,
divine, alien, or otherwise, they didn't need to invent
(25:27):
religion from scratch. They could simply lean on human
wiring that was already there and install a bias toward
reverence as a feature rather than a bug.
(25:55):
Religion is a way of life that describes the duties and
relations of man to his God. Adherence of all religions join
in the belief that man's coming into the world necessarily
brought wish, and with God, man and his primitive state sought
ways of overcoming his environment.
The fire of the sky, the wrath of the sea, the fury of the
(26:21):
winds and the heat of the desertfor sure, which he tried to
control or appease. Some primitive men attempted to
curb such forces with magic. Others turn to a kind of nature
worship. As time passed, man tried to
(26:45):
invoke the aid of the primeval forces.
Eventually, in most religions, man associated these forces with
someone great Spirit or God. Through the ages, different
religions have arisen and some have declined. 5 of the great
religions endure and continue toguide millions upon millions of
(27:05):
people the world over. These five had their beginnings
in southwestern Asia. It was here that Hinduism arose.
Arabia cradled Judaism. Out of Hinduism grew Buddhist
and out of Judaism developed Christianity.
(27:26):
Most recently, Islam has developed.
Where did our stories come from?If humanity was reset, what are
we actually remembering? Mainstream chronology begins
when clay meets stylus. Push past five or 6000 years and
written memory dissolves, But the Earth keeps receipts.
(27:49):
At the end of the last Ice Age, shorelines weren't where they
are now. Seas were lower by more than 100
meters as the ice collapsed, water rushed in and coastline
sprinted inland. Whatever harbors, shrines or
villages clung to those Paleo coasts now sleep under the
continental shelves. That alone explains why deep
time feels like silence. Much of it is underwater.
(28:13):
On August 21st, 2025, Egyptian authorities revealed the
recovery of 2000 year old artifacts from a sunken city in
Abu Kir Bay near Alexandria. Beneath the waves of the
Mediterranean, just off Alexandria's coast lies a city
swallowed by the sea. For centuries it was thought
lost until divers began pulling its treasures back into the
(28:35):
light. Statues of gods and kings,
ancient coins, and even a Sphynxbearing the name of Ramses the
Second, all resting in silence for nearly 2000 years.
What if this sunken city hides Adeeper story, one that ties into
the legacy of the gods themselves?
The finds tell us this wasn't a small trading outpost.
(28:57):
It was a place of wealth, ceremony, and power.
The city fell after earthquakes shook the delta and rising
waters buried its streets. A story we've heard before.
Civilizations rising, then vanishing under the waves.
The flood myths of summer, the deluge of the Hebrews, even
tales from India and the Americas.
(29:18):
Always the same pattern, right on the hinge where before
becomes after around 10,000 BC Gobekli tape appears.
Stone enclosures and T pillars built by hunter gatherers with *
awareness and engineering nerve.If an industrial civilization
had risen thousands or even millions of years before us,
(29:41):
would we even know? After a few 100,000 years?
Cities crumble and metals oxidize.
What remains are only geologic whispers.
Odd carbon isotope jolts, synthetic residues, peculiar
sediments, anoxic ocean layers. When that world broke by climate
whiplash, volcanism impact or something we don't have language
(30:04):
for. The ocean took the edges,
forests reclaimed the middle, and memory collapsed to myth.
The survivors did what survivorsalways do.
They rebuilt shrines first, thencities. 2 possibilities branch
from that moment. Caretakers.
The Anunnaki arrived to a wounded planet, stabilize it,
(30:25):
and reboot. They seed soils, dam rivers, and
stand up a cultural operating system.
Calendars, law, temple LED agriculture, kingship.
They compress knowledge into rituals so it will survive the
next shock. Civilization restarts on rails,
Conquerors the Anunnaki trigger or exploit the collapse, clear
(30:48):
the board and install themselvesas gods.
They redirect the old animist current away from river and
ancestor and into ziggurat and throne.
Obedience becomes holiness, tribute becomes rainfall.
The same awe circuits, fire, newendpoint.
Every civilization remembers themoment the human first opened
(31:09):
their eyes. Across languages and continents,
the story is told with the same 3 tokens, earth, blood and
breath. In Mesopotamia, Enki and
Ninhersag shape a body from clayand spike it with divine
essence, the blood of a God, so that a living worker can carry
the load of heaven. Some retelling say Marduk.
(31:31):
The older tablets point to Kinguor the sacrificed God Geshtu A.
In Egypt the ram headed canoe turns people on a Potter's wheel
and brings them to term like vessels from the Nile mud.
In Greece, Prometheus presses man from clay and Athena leans
close with the animating breath.In China, Nua needs yellow earth
(31:51):
into figures and breathes life into them.
Among the Yoruba, Obitallah sculpts the forms and Ola Dumare
grants the breath. In the Bible, God lifts dust
from the ground and breathes a soul into Adam.
Even the popal Vu remembers failed prototypes, mud and wood
before the successful people of maize.
(32:13):
The variables barely change. There is always the earthy
substrate shaped by a hand, the drop of essence that binds the
new being to its makers, and themoment of activation when the
lights come on. The recipe for a human being.
Could these ingredients be metaphors for a genetic
procedure? Clay and dust are the local
(32:34):
genome, the best available substrate on this planet.
Modern Homo sapiens emerges in Africa roughly 200,000 years
ago. Around that window, the planet
carries a whole cast of near humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans
and Homo erectus lingering in Southeast Asia, Homo naledi in
(32:54):
southern Africa, and other archaic sapiens and
heidelbergensis grade populations in Africa and the
Levant. We know later it mixture
happened. Living people outside Africa
carry Neanderthal DNA. Some carry Denisovan proof that
these lineages were compatible at the genetic level.
If someone wanted a leap, the raw material was already walking
(33:16):
around. This leap wouldn't hinge on a
single miracle gene. It would be a tuning of systems.
You would nudge the networks that pattern the developing
brain, so working memory and abstraction get a longer leash.
You would tighten the feedback loops that bind breath to voice,
cortex to tongue, so language can ride the air.
(33:37):
You would soften or sharpen the chemistry of salience and reward
so teaching ritual and cooperation leave deeper tracks.
You would fortify immune systemsand metabolism for crowding
grain and animals, directed hybridization and back crossing
planned unions among compatible hominins with donor gametes to
concentrate traits across a handful of fast generations.
(33:59):
Why the blood? Because essence is transmitted
in blood. Why the breath?
Because breath is voice and voice is mind shared.
Why the dirt? Because everybody is of the
earth. If you had to explain a lab to a
village, you would use the materials they know.
That's why the story repeats across time and culture.
(34:39):
We do not know what the Anunnakitruly were.
Some see craft in the sky and call them aliens.
Others see that theory as a bridge too far.
Both views can hold their ground.
Perhaps they were human survivors from an advanced cycle
so old it's become geology, who came back after a planetary
disaster and restarted the clock.
(35:02):
Perhaps they were off world engineers who seated A breakaway
civilization here to bred a hybrid species to inherit the
surface and then withdrew to wherever home is.
Or perhaps they were not beings in any way.
We're prepared to accept predators or patrons from
another layer of reality who puton the mask of God and learn to
(35:23):
eat from our devotion. We don't have the final answer.
What we do have is a pattern anda choice.
We can look away or we can look harder.
We aren't here to convert you. We are here to ask the question.
To ask why the same patterns surface in far places and deep
time. To ask who benefits when
(35:43):
information is kept hidden. Maybe the Anunnaki were our
teachers. Maybe they were our.
Jailers. Or maybe.
They were us, TuneIn next time, as we peer deeper into the abyss
on the Anunnaki connection. Why are you a thrin Taba fida
(37:01):
kratimahududi? For centuries, mankind has gazed
(38:19):
at the stars, wondering if we are alone.
Ancient texts. What if the cradle of
civilization was also the site of our first encounter?
This leader is provided to permit the projectionist to
adjust the projector before the film begins.
The volume and tone are identical with the soundtrack
which follows. Across the world, the ruins
(00:52):
still stand. Ziggurats rising from the
deserts of Mesopotamia, temples carved in stone along the Nile,
pyramids piercing the jungles ofMexico, columns broken and
scattered across the hills of Greece.
Civilizations separated by oceans and millennia.
(01:12):
And yet they all tell the same story.
They spoke of shining beings whodescended from the heavens,
gods, angels, or something stranger.
They gave fire, law, and civilization to mankind.
They taught astronomy, medicine,and war.
They punished rebellion with floods and demanded worship in
return. What were these beings, truly?
(01:35):
Were they aliens from distant worlds?
Interdimensional travellers slipping into our reality for
reasons we still cannot grasp? Perhaps they were something
beyond all of these categories, something outside of human
comprehension. The Sumerians called them the
Anunnaki, and their shadow lingers through every great
civilization of the ancient world.
(01:57):
Join us as we search for the truth.
About where we came from on the Anunnaki connection.
(02:21):
For more than 2000 years, these ruins remained undiscovered.
For centuries, the only people who saw these remains were
occasional nomads who camped near here.
At the turn of this century, when archaeologists first came
to Iraq, or as it was called then Mesopotamia, they were
looking for the biblical city Babylon.
(02:42):
But they uncovered even older civilizations.
The digging started here in the Fertile Crescent.
The land between the rivers looked promising because of the
possibilities for irrigation agriculture.
Archaeologists knew that early civilizations grew along the
banks of major rivers. Here it was the Tigris and
Euphrates. These rivers were fed by waters
(03:04):
from the mountains to the north.Not far from here, ancient
cities have been discovered. Around 2700 BC.
They were populated by Sumeriansin this area.
Archaeologists have found proof that cereal agriculture was the
basis of that civilization. Irrigated fields produced a
(03:27):
dependable food supply for Sumerians.
They dug ditches and brought river water to their dry lands,
the first step toward large scale farming.
Farmers have been irrigating this area for nearly 5000 years.
Canal systems crisscrossed the whole land.
(03:47):
The Sumerians turned the desert into a fertile delta with an
abundant food supply. The population grew with summer,
divided into several city states.
This pattern was quite differentfrom Egypt, which at the same
time was developing into a unified country.
We think about 200,000 people lived in a typical Sumerian city
(04:10):
state. The temple was the center of
Sumerian city life. At UR, archaeologists uncovered
another temple called a ziggurat.
Each city state was organized around the worship of the deity
whose home was the temple. Mainstream archaeology tells us
that summer was the birth place of civilization, the first
(04:32):
cities, the first writing, irrigation canals, temples, and
laws. But the Sumerians themselves
never claimed credit for these breakthroughs.
In their own tablets, they wrotethat it was the Anunnaki who
descended from the heavens and laid the foundations of culture.
The word Anunnaki itself tells us who these beings were.
It comes from 2 root words in the Sumerian tongue, Anu and Ki.
(04:57):
Anu was the supreme God of the heavens, the father of the
divine assembly, ruler of the sky.
Ki was the earth, the realm of man.
And so the Anunnaki were literally those who from heaven
came to earth, beings who crossed the boundary between the
divine and the mortal, who descended to shape the world of
men. At the head of their pantheon
(05:19):
was Anu, the distant Sky Father,seated in the highest heavens.
Beneath him was his son Enlil, the Storm God, who cleaved
heaven and earth in two. Enlil became Lord of the air and
the atmosphere, and it was he who decided the fate of mankind.
His brother was Enki, Lord of the waters, master of wisdom and
(05:40):
creation, who dwelt in the AB Zoo, the subterranean deep.
Enki was the God who shaped mankind itself and who later
defied his brother to save humanity from the flood.
Alongside them stood Ninherzog, the Mother Goddess, described as
the nourisher of humanity and the womb of the earth.
There was Inana, or Ishtar, goddess of love, war and
(06:04):
fertility, both alluring and dangerous.
There was UTU Shamash, the sun God, who brought justice and
light and handed the laws to kings.
Together these beings formed thegreat assembly of the Anunnaki.
The tablets tell us that the Anunnaki chose who would rule
and that the laws and boundariesof civilization were decreed by
(06:25):
them. When Hammurabi inscribed his
famous code of laws, he creditedShamash, the sun God, as the
divine source of justice. Mainstream historians explain
the fall of summer through conquest, soil exhaustion, and
shifting rivers. But in the tablets, floods,
(06:45):
famines, and plagues were punishments sent by the gods.
When humanity grew noisy and rebellious, Enlil sought to wipe
them out. It was Enki who intervened,
warning a chosen man to build anark and survive the deluge.
The biblical Noah is only the later echo of this much older
Sumerian tale. In Egypt too, we will find
(07:07):
stories of gods who came from the stars, who ruled before the
1st Pharaohs, and who shaped thedestiny of mankind.
Farming began to develop in the Middle East around 8000 BC and
then spread after 3000 years into the Nile River Valley and
the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
(07:29):
There the Mesopotamian city states would evolve, but in the
Nile Valley a unified Kingdom ofEgypt would come into being.
It's believed that the people who settled Egypt had been
forced by the advancing deserts of North Africa into the Valley
of the Nile. The people found the river, a
(07:49):
plentiful source of water for their herds.
They discovered that they could irrigate the land and grow
crops. They were among the first of the
ancient peoples to become food producers instead of food
gatherers. They rapidly developed the
science of agriculture. The more ambitious projects, the
(08:14):
digging of irrigation ditches and canals, demanded large scale
planning and the cooperation of many people.
Beside this steppe pyramid lie many tombs of nobles.
Inside these and other tombs, relics have been found clues to
the way Egyptians lived and worked.
(08:37):
Ancient hammers and chisels showus how they carved words and
pictures into stone. Molds for making bricks show
that ancient brickmakers work much like brickmakers still do
in Egypt. Models of ancient Egyptian homes
found in the tombs are similar to the mud brick homes in many
(08:59):
villages today. Hoes like this relic were used
by ancient farmers to cultivate the land.
From the handheld ho, the Egyptians developed the plow
that could be pulled by animals,a great step forward in the
progress of civilization. The Egyptians celebrated the
(09:20):
plow in tomb paintings. With the plow, they could
cultivate more land and grow thelarge amount of food that was
needed to support a great population.
(09:42):
The Egyptians also developed a system of writing called
hieroglyphics that was originally designed to be carved
on stone and was also used laterfor recording important
religious works such as the Bookof the Dead.
A simplified form of hieroglyphics was written on
paper. Another ancient Egyptian
invention, a dynasty of all powerful Pharaohs ruled the
(10:06):
country. They claim their authority
directly from the gods. Egyptians had many gods.
Mainstream archaeology presents Egypt as the natural outgrowth
of the Nile, a river that gave life to a desert, allowed
agriculture to flourish, and fedthe rise of a unified Kingdom.
(10:28):
It speaks of the pyramids as tombs, of irrigation as
ingenuity, and of Pharaohs as mortal kings who claimed divine
favor. But beneath the sands lies
another layer of the story, one where Egypt was not just the
creation of men, but of gods whocame from beyond.
(10:48):
The Egyptian pantheon is vast, but at its heart are patterns
that mirror the older Sumerian world.
Osiris, Lord of the underworld and resurrection, carries echoes
of Enki, the wise God who descended into the deep,
associated with water in the renewal of life.
Isis, Osiris's consort, mother, and magician, reflects
(11:12):
Ninhersag, the Sumerian mother goddess who nourished humanity.
Horus, the Falcon, sky God who Avengers his father, recalls the
storm bearing heirs of Enlil, gods of rulership and warfare.
And Thoth, scribe of the gods and keeper of hidden wisdom, is
remembered in Mesopotamia as Ningush Zeta, the Serpent, Lord
(11:35):
of the Tree of Truth, a mediatorbetween heaven and earth.
Even the great monuments bear the signature of a knowledge
that seems to exceed their time.The pyramids, officially
described as tombs, aligned withOrion's belt.
And the stars of the heavens, the Sphinx, half man and half
lion, points to the Zodiac itself, watching over the ages.
(11:58):
To the Egyptians, these were notjust stone, they were machines
of eternity, bridges between theworld of men in the realm of the
gods. Pharaoh's ruled as divine kings,
but their authority was never their own.
Every inscription declares that kingship descended from the
gods. The Pharaoh was Horus in life,
Osiris and death, a living conduit of divine blood.
(12:21):
This is the same claim made in Mesopotamia, that kingship
itself was a gift of the Anunnaki.
Egypt remembered it differently,but the theme is the same.
Rulers on earth, legitimized by beings from heaven.
The gods of Egypt, like those ofsummer, carried the marks of the
Anunnaki. Anu, the distant sky Father,
(12:43):
becomes RA, the shining sun at the highest point.
Enlil, the Stormbringer becomes Set, the Chaotic force who rules
the desert and the storm. Enki, the wise Lord of Water,
becomes Osiris, drowned, dismembered, yet reborn as Lord
of Life. The myth changes, but the
(13:03):
pattern remains. Ancient texts speak of the
Shemsu Hor, the followers of Horus, a race of divine kings
who ruled before the 1st Dynasties.
Some say they came from a lost island swallowed by the sea.
Others claim they descended fromthe stars.
The Sumerians would have recognized them as the Anunnaki.
(13:25):
In Egypt, the Anunnaki wore new faces.
They became gods of death and resurrection, of sun and flood,
of the Nile and the sky. But their role remained the
same, the givers of kingship, the masters of knowledge, the
rulers who stood at the threshold between heaven and
earth. India country stretching nearly
(13:51):
2000 miles from north to South. A giant triangle separated from
the rest of the world by vast stretches of ocean and the
mountain barrier of the Himalayas across the flat desert
land. India's early invaders coming
(14:11):
down the mountain passes drove the original settlers to the
South. These Aryan conquerors occupied
northern India and ushered in the Hindu period of history.
As they expanded, the Aryans settled in what are today Patna,
Delhi and other northern cities.These ruins stand near Delhi to
(14:35):
this day. It was near Delhi that according
to legend, a mighty war was fought between rival forces of
Hinduism. Out of it, a unique set of
beliefs and rules emerged, touching upon all phases of life
(14:56):
throughout India. Imposing temples stand witness
to the deep religious feeling ofthe Hindu.
To Hindus seeking religious knowledge, individual well-being
and possessions are unimportant,and so a great part of the Hindu
creative genius has turned to religion.
Each of the many forms of the Supreme Being, to whom all
(15:18):
Hindus pray, has its temples andits worshippers.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and the numerous forms and incarnations
of these gods are rendered in stone.
(15:38):
The highest art of India is seenin carvings made during the
period of the Gupta dynasty. Gupta kings ruled northern India
in the 4th, 5th and 6th centuries AD, and under the
Guptas, some of the greatest masterpieces of Indian art were
created. Although it lasted less than 300
(15:59):
years, it is considered the classical age of India's
culture. After the 8th century, new waves
of invaders swept down on the plains, burning, fighting,
pillaging Arabs. Afghans, Turks, all of them
fanatic Muslims, littered the Indian countryside with ruins.
(16:29):
Among the wreckage stands this wrought iron column of one of
the Gupta kings as a reminder ofthe short glory of this proud
Hindu dynasty. Not far from it, near Delhi, a
Moslem tower of victory was erected.
Made of carved Redstone and rising 238 feet above the
(16:50):
ground, it symbolizes the might of the Moslem conquerors in
India. The ancient Vedas and the
Mahabharata preserve stories of gods who wielded immense power,
weapons of fire and machines that could fly across the sky.
To modern historians, these are just allegories, metaphors for
(17:14):
storms, lightning and cosmic forces.
But when read alongside the stories of summer in Egypt, the
parallels are too close to ignore.
The Rigveda describes the storm God Indra, possessor of the
Thunderbolt, who battles serpents and demons with a
weapon called the vajra, much like the Mesopotamian Enlil, a
(17:35):
punishing storm God, and the Greek Zeus hurling thunderbolts
from the sky. The power of the heavens was a
weapon, devastating and precise,remembered in each tradition
under a different name, Shiva the destroyer and Creator.
His wrath, but also his role as renewer, sounds much like Enki,
(17:56):
who could both preserve life andunleash the waters upon the
earth. In the Mahabharata, the gods
grant mankind celestial weapons called Astra, capable of
levelling entire armies, a memory perhaps of technologies
once wielded by the same beings,the Sumerians called the
Anunnaki. Even the stars themselves are
(18:16):
woven into the myths. The Vedic nakshatra of
Mrigashira links to Orion, the cosmic hunter whose pursuit
across the heavens shows up in Greek, Norse and Sumerian
traditions. Was this constellation sacred
across cultures because it was home to the same gods,
remembered under different names?
(18:38):
The Hindu tales also speak of flying machines, vimanas, that
carried the gods across the sky,waging war between heavens and
earth. Ancient astronaut theorists see
in this the echo of Mesopotamia's sky Chariots, the
vehicles of the Anunnaki. If the gods of India and the
gods of summer are the same, then the memory of these
(19:01):
machines may have been preservedacross continents, retold as
myth but rooted in reality. So where did these Anunnaki gods
(19:41):
come from? Anthropologists tell us that
religion began as a way to explain the unexplainable.
Early humans, confronted with storms, floods, death and the
stars, gave these forces names and personalities.
Gods, they say, were born out offear, ritual and imagination,
tools for survival in a dangerous world.
(20:03):
From this perspective, the Anunnaki were nothing more than
symbols, mythic projections of human needs.
But here's the problem. The Sumerians didn't tell us
about theoretical ideas that they had just bouncing around in
their heads. They wrote about beings, flesh
and blood, rulers who descended from the heavens above them, who
(20:24):
built cities, apportioned the land, and decreed the laws of
civilization. These texts describe a time
before the flood, when kingship was first lowered from heaven
and when gods walked among men. Then came catastrophe, the great
deluge that reset the world. Afterward, only fragments of
(20:46):
memory remained. This fractured memory may be
what later civilizations inherited, a recollection of a
time before humanity was remade,or perhaps before the Earth
itself was fully prepared for human life.
Some have speculated this was not merely A mythic flood, but
the echo of something larger, the terraforming of the planet,
(21:08):
the reshaping of the earth by forces beyond human
comprehension. The further back we look, the
stranger it becomes. Our written records vanish past
the 4th Millennium BC, before summer history dissolves into
prehistory. And yet scattered clues remain.
Megalithic sites like Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, older than
(21:31):
Sumaya by millennia, show advanced astronomical alignments
and architecture long before theso-called first civilization.
The Sumerian King List describesreigns of 10s of thousands of
years before the flood. Geological evidence hints at
sudden shifts around 10,000 BC, when ice sheets melted and
global seas surged. Something happened, something
(21:55):
that broke the line of human memory.
It all started many thousands ofyears ago.
It started in the Garden of Eden, and I want to read you
about it in the 3rd chapter of Genesis.
It's all recorded, all the troubles, all the difficulties,
all the problems, all the headaches, all the wars, all the
confusions, all the greed and jealousy that we have today
(22:16):
started in the Garden of Eden many thousands of years ago.
In Genesis we are told that God placed man in Eden with one
command, do not eat. From the tree of knowledge, a
serpent appears, whispers to Eveand tempts her to defy the
command She eats, gives to Adam and their eyes are opened.
(22:36):
For this they are cursed, cast out, condemned to suffering.
This is the foundation of the biblical story.
Mankind is guilty forever, in need of obedience.
But in the older Sumerian texts,the story is not one of sin, it
is one of rebellion, of survival.
(22:56):
The serpent is none other than Enki, Lord of Wisdom, who defies
his brother Enlil by giving humanity forbidden knowledge.
Just as Prometheus stole fire from the gods, Enki gave mankind
the tools to live, to think, to see.
It is Enlil, the storm God, the Punisher who wished to keep
(23:18):
mankind ignorant, who later tried to wipe humanity out in
the flood. In this older version it is not
the serpent who lies, but the so-called God.
The biblical authors twisted thestory.
The serpent was not the villain,instead a protector.
Enki was cast as Satan because he gave humanity what the ruling
(23:40):
gods wanted to withhold. Knowledge, freedom, the spark of
civilization. And this is where religion
begins. From the start, it was about
control, a system to keep mankind in line, to turn fear of
the divine into obedience to rulers who claim to speak for
the gods. Whatever the Anunnaki were,
(24:02):
alien or Angel, they knew our weakness, our hunger for
meaning, our tendency to worship.
Did they take advantage of that,Or did they plant it in US
deliberately, a feature, not a flaw, programming us to kneel
before them? Modern science has even found
hints of this in our biology. Some researchers speak of a God
(24:24):
gene, suggesting that spirituality, even the urge to
worship, is hard wired into our DNA.
Is that evolution or engineering?
Were we designed to seek gods? To crave authority, To hand over
our power? Does a built in bias towards
spirituality live in our DNA? The phrase God gene came from
(24:45):
geneticist Dean Hammer, who argued in 2004 that variation in
a neurotransmitter gene called VMAT 2 helps tilt some people
towards self transcendence, the trait psychologists use as a
proxy for spirituality. It works as a transporter that
loads dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and histamine
(25:06):
into synaptic vesicles, the machinery that shapes reward,
salience, awe, and motivation. The spirituality knob can be
measured as self transcendence in Cloninger's Temperament and
Character inventory. This trait does show genetic
influence. If the Anunnaki were real,
divine, alien, or otherwise, they didn't need to invent
(25:27):
religion from scratch. They could simply lean on human
wiring that was already there and install a bias toward
reverence as a feature rather than a bug.
(25:55):
Religion is a way of life that describes the duties and
relations of man to his God. Adherence of all religions join
in the belief that man's coming into the world necessarily
brought wish, and with God, man and his primitive state sought
ways of overcoming his environment.
The fire of the sky, the wrath of the sea, the fury of the
(26:21):
winds and the heat of the desertfor sure, which he tried to
control or appease. Some primitive men attempted to
curb such forces with magic. Others turn to a kind of nature
worship. As time passed, man tried to
(26:45):
invoke the aid of the primeval forces.
Eventually, in most religions, man associated these forces with
someone great Spirit or God. Through the ages, different
religions have arisen and some have declined. 5 of the great
religions endure and continue toguide millions upon millions of
(27:05):
people the world over. These five had their beginnings
in southwestern Asia. It was here that Hinduism arose.
Arabia cradled Judaism. Out of Hinduism grew Buddhist
and out of Judaism developed Christianity.
(27:26):
Most recently, Islam has developed.
Where did our stories come from?If humanity was reset, what are
we actually remembering? Mainstream chronology begins
when clay meets stylus. Push past five or 6000 years and
written memory dissolves, But the Earth keeps receipts.
(27:49):
At the end of the last Ice Age, shorelines weren't where they
are now. Seas were lower by more than 100
meters as the ice collapsed, water rushed in and coastline
sprinted inland. Whatever harbors, shrines or
villages clung to those Paleo coasts now sleep under the
continental shelves. That alone explains why deep
time feels like silence. Much of it is underwater.
(28:13):
On August 21st, 2025, Egyptian authorities revealed the
recovery of 2000 year old artifacts from a sunken city in
Abu Kir Bay near Alexandria. Beneath the waves of the
Mediterranean, just off Alexandria's coast lies a city
swallowed by the sea. For centuries it was thought
lost until divers began pulling its treasures back into the
(28:35):
light. Statues of gods and kings,
ancient coins, and even a Sphynxbearing the name of Ramses the
Second, all resting in silence for nearly 2000 years.
What if this sunken city hides Adeeper story, one that ties into
the legacy of the gods themselves?
The finds tell us this wasn't a small trading outpost.
(28:57):
It was a place of wealth, ceremony, and power.
The city fell after earthquakes shook the delta and rising
waters buried its streets. A story we've heard before.
Civilizations rising, then vanishing under the waves.
The flood myths of summer, the deluge of the Hebrews, even
tales from India and the Americas.
(29:18):
Always the same pattern, right on the hinge where before
becomes after around 10,000 BC Gobekli tape appears.
Stone enclosures and T pillars built by hunter gatherers with *
awareness and engineering nerve.If an industrial civilization
had risen thousands or even millions of years before us,
(29:41):
would we even know? After a few 100,000 years?
Cities crumble and metals oxidize.
What remains are only geologic whispers.
Odd carbon isotope jolts, synthetic residues, peculiar
sediments, anoxic ocean layers. When that world broke by climate
whiplash, volcanism impact or something we don't have language
(30:04):
for. The ocean took the edges,
forests reclaimed the middle, and memory collapsed to myth.
The survivors did what survivorsalways do.
They rebuilt shrines first, thencities. 2 possibilities branch
from that moment. Caretakers.
The Anunnaki arrived to a wounded planet, stabilize it,
(30:25):
and reboot. They seed soils, dam rivers, and
stand up a cultural operating system.
Calendars, law, temple LED agriculture, kingship.
They compress knowledge into rituals so it will survive the
next shock. Civilization restarts on rails,
Conquerors the Anunnaki trigger or exploit the collapse, clear
(30:48):
the board and install themselvesas gods.
They redirect the old animist current away from river and
ancestor and into ziggurat and throne.
Obedience becomes holiness, tribute becomes rainfall.
The same awe circuits, fire, newendpoint.
Every civilization remembers themoment the human first opened
(31:09):
their eyes. Across languages and continents,
the story is told with the same 3 tokens, earth, blood and
breath. In Mesopotamia, Enki and
Ninhersag shape a body from clayand spike it with divine
essence, the blood of a God, so that a living worker can carry
the load of heaven. Some retelling say Marduk.
(31:31):
The older tablets point to Kinguor the sacrificed God Geshtu A.
In Egypt the ram headed canoe turns people on a Potter's wheel
and brings them to term like vessels from the Nile mud.
In Greece, Prometheus presses man from clay and Athena leans
close with the animating breath.In China, Nua needs yellow earth
(31:51):
into figures and breathes life into them.
Among the Yoruba, Obitallah sculpts the forms and Ola Dumare
grants the breath. In the Bible, God lifts dust
from the ground and breathes a soul into Adam.
Even the popal Vu remembers failed prototypes, mud and wood
before the successful people of maize.
(32:13):
The variables barely change. There is always the earthy
substrate shaped by a hand, the drop of essence that binds the
new being to its makers, and themoment of activation when the
lights come on. The recipe for a human being.
Could these ingredients be metaphors for a genetic
procedure? Clay and dust are the local
(32:34):
genome, the best available substrate on this planet.
Modern Homo sapiens emerges in Africa roughly 200,000 years
ago. Around that window, the planet
carries a whole cast of near humans, Neanderthals, Denisovans
and Homo erectus lingering in Southeast Asia, Homo naledi in
(32:54):
southern Africa, and other archaic sapiens and
heidelbergensis grade populations in Africa and the
Levant. We know later it mixture
happened. Living people outside Africa
carry Neanderthal DNA. Some carry Denisovan proof that
these lineages were compatible at the genetic level.
If someone wanted a leap, the raw material was already walking
(33:16):
around. This leap wouldn't hinge on a
single miracle gene. It would be a tuning of systems.
You would nudge the networks that pattern the developing
brain, so working memory and abstraction get a longer leash.
You would tighten the feedback loops that bind breath to voice,
cortex to tongue, so language can ride the air.
(33:37):
You would soften or sharpen the chemistry of salience and reward
so teaching ritual and cooperation leave deeper tracks.
You would fortify immune systemsand metabolism for crowding
grain and animals, directed hybridization and back crossing
planned unions among compatible hominins with donor gametes to
concentrate traits across a handful of fast generations.
(33:59):
Why the blood? Because essence is transmitted
in blood. Why the breath?
Because breath is voice and voice is mind shared.
Why the dirt? Because everybody is of the
earth. If you had to explain a lab to a
village, you would use the materials they know.
That's why the story repeats across time and culture.
(34:39):
We do not know what the Anunnakitruly were.
Some see craft in the sky and call them aliens.
Others see that theory as a bridge too far.
Both views can hold their ground.
Perhaps they were human survivors from an advanced cycle
so old it's become geology, who came back after a planetary
disaster and restarted the clock.
(35:02):
Perhaps they were off world engineers who seated A breakaway
civilization here to bred a hybrid species to inherit the
surface and then withdrew to wherever home is.
Or perhaps they were not beings in any way.
We're prepared to accept predators or patrons from
another layer of reality who puton the mask of God and learn to
(35:23):
eat from our devotion. We don't have the final answer.
What we do have is a pattern anda choice.
We can look away or we can look harder.
We aren't here to convert you. We are here to ask the question.
To ask why the same patterns surface in far places and deep
time. To ask who benefits when
(35:43):
information is kept hidden. Maybe the Anunnaki were our
teachers. Maybe they were our.
Jailers. Or maybe.
They were us, TuneIn next time, as we peer deeper into the abyss
on the Anunnaki connection. Why are you a thrin Taba fida
(37:01):
kratimahududi? For centuries, mankind has gazed
(38:19):
at the stars, wondering if we are alone.
Ancient texts. What if the cradle of
civilization was also the site of our first encounter?
