ENUMA ELISH [9d]
Mosul, Iraq. 1849. During an excavation of the Biblical city of Nineveh, a team led by the eminent British archeologist Austen Henry Layard, discovers the ruins of the ancient Assyrian library of Ashurbanipal. Among the priceless relics Layard recovered from the library, is a series of cuneiform tablets called the Enûma Eliš, also known as “The Seven Tablets of Creation.”
|
“The tablets are, essentially, text in columnar style, no more than eight to ten inches tall, six to seven inches wide, which were made of clay. And while the clay was just in the process of setting, a stylus would be used by a trained scribe to etch the stories of our existence on this planet.” – M.J. Evans, Ph.D. (Landscape Geographer), |
The Seven Tablets of Creation tell a story about a group of gods called the Anunnaki who came from heaven to give birth to the human race, but some Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe the original translations, completed in the 19th-century by some of the best scholars of the day, are flawed.
|
“The professors’ certainly brilliant brains had no idea of space travel, not to speak of extraterrestrials. So, they all, without exception, made the translations in the belief that the stories had to do with the Almighty God. In the old texts, we have, for example, a word like “heaven.” So, for example, Abraham was taken up to heaven and brought back to Earth. So, we should change the word “heaven” into the word “space” so it makes sense.” – Erich von Däniken (Author, Chariots of the Gods?) |
Using what they say is a more accurate translation of this origin myth, Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe the tablets tell a story about the Anunnaki coming from space to colonize both Mars and Earth.
|
“According to some researchers, the Sumerians had a number of myths about Mars, including that the Anunnaki used Mars as a supply base to come here to Earth. And subsequently the Anunnaki then ruled the earth as these extraterrestrial god-kings, while humans began to create the many civilizations on our planet. And eventually the Anunnaki left to go back to their own planet. Or did they?” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
Is it possible that the Anunnaki gods in our ancient origin stories were actually extraterrestrial beings and that they created the structures that some believe they see on Mars? And if so, did they then journey to Earth?
|
“We see multiple references in the cuneiform tablets that are allegedly the records of the Anunnaki. That, in fact, they did originate from Mars, that this is not a dead, isolated, rocky world with nothing on it, but there was life.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
But according to the modern translation of Sumerian and Babylonian origin myths, a cataclysmic event occurred on Mars, an event that sounds remarkably similar to ancient Mesoamerican myths about a feathered serpent flaying the red planet.
|
“While the Anunnaki were using Mars as a supply base for Earth, at some point there was a catastrophe. There was some asteroid or comet strike on Mars. It ripped the atmosphere from Mars. It changed the climate, and Mars couldn’t be used as a habitable space base for the Anunnaki anymore. And so therefore, as we explore Mars more and more, we may find structures, pyramids, ziggurats, even giant statues carved into rock on Mars, which are really relics of the Anunnaki and the time when they occupied that planet.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
|
“Some have suggested that Mars may have had an atmosphere, and it got annihilated about 65 million years ago. What some have suggested is that before this annihilation occurred, that that civilization was able to escape to Earth. Now, according to this view, we might, in fact, be the Martians.” – Giorgio A. Tsoukalos |
Some scientists say they’ve found powerful evidence of this lost civilization. They believe they may have discovered a nuclear signature in the Martian atmosphere that matches Earth’s after a nuclear test.
|
“During the height of the Cold War, we were detonating very large hydrogen bombs in the open air, and it produces a lot of a gas called Xenon 129. On Mars, we’ve also found a lot of Xenon 129. The only process we know to produce this Xenon 129 is a nuclear explosion. So, apparently, a very large nuclear weapon or weapons was detonated on Mars.” – John Brandenburg, Ph.D. |
|
“If we look at the Sumerian cuneiform tablets there are very clear references to a variety of advanced forms of technology. And it would seem pretty clear that if we were able to get a nuclear bomb, then why couldn’t a civilization that was superior to our own have developed the same technology?” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
|
“There is a Sumerian myth concerning the planet Mars having to do with some colossal battle of the gods, so there is elements in mythology that look very much like descriptions of nuclear war.” – John Brandenburg, Ph.D. |
Signs of a possible nuclear blast, myths of a comet flaying the planet and a controversial NASA experiment that may have found life. Could these really be traces of an ancient alien civilization on Mars? And if so, is it possible there are artificial structures buried beneath the surface even to this day?
