will simply go away or be regarded as unbelievable, if left un-discussed and unacknowledged.
Zecharia Sitchin, who could read Aramaic, Sumerian, Babylonian and several other less well-known, long-dead Middle Eastern languages was the most famous translator of these tablets and he was convinced that the tablets tell a story of extraterrestrial visitors creating the Sumerian civilisation as a ‘gift from the gods’. These gods are referred to as the ‘Annunaki’ or ‘those who from Heaven to Earth came’. They are considered by some researchers to be one and the same as the biblical ‘Nephilim’, the race of giants who probably were around 8 feet tall, according to some researchers. However opinions do vary on this.
The tablets also describe how the Annunaki arrived here from a planet they named Nibiru, which allegedly has a huge elliptical orbit taking it 3600 years to travel around the sun, but whilst at its closest approach point, is situated between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. A possible sighting was briefly reported in 1983 and then immediately forgotten and buried by the mainstream media…
“A heavenly body possibly ... so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the US infrared astronomical satellite. So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet ... so close in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the outermost planet Pluto.” Washington Post, 31st December 1983.
These clay tablets are the written accounts of traditions that go back many tens of thousands of years but much credence can be given them not least due to their incredibly accurate depiction of the solar system as we now know it. All the planets are in their correct positions (for the era) with relative sizes and orbits, all accurately charted.
How could this knowledge have been available in those times, when most of that information has only been known to us for about 200 years or so? The answer of course is that it is the current view of history which is inaccurate. Ancient cultures and civilisations knew far more about the universe and its secrets than modern science and history will give them credit for. This is why many ancient cultures and cultural traditions such as native American, native African – Zulu for example and Australian aborigines were all ruthlessly suppressed and their ancient artefacts destroyed by forces representing the world Elite. We can also add to this list, the Mayan, Inca and Aztec civilisations in South and Central America, brutally subjugated and systematically eliminated by the Conquistadors, sponsored by the European Elite in the 16th and 17th centuries and charged with the destruction and devastation of these ancient cultures that in fact held a much more accurate world-view than we do today.
Arguably, the most important aspect of the contents of the Sumerian tablets is their description of the creation of humankind. Sitchin estimates the timescales as around 400,000 years ago, but I personally believe that it could be much longer ago than this. According to the story within the tablets, The Annunaki landed originally in Southern Africa to mine the mineral deposits abundant in that area, primarily gold, but other minerals were also involved. According to Sitchin’s translation, there was, for want of a better description, a sort of ongoing ‘worker’s revolt’ involving the Annunaki mine labourers or slaves and so the rulers in order to avoid further inconvenience, eventually decided to generate a new race of slaves to replace the truculent labourers. This new race was a hybrid created from the genes of the Annunaki and those of the native, early humanoid species who roamed the plains of the African continent and the Middle East at that time and whose remains have been found in rock
