1.4 – The Mission (5.4.10)

“A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

If Ancient Aliens visited Earth, what was their mission and is there evidence that points to when they will return? Ancient Sumerian tablets describe an alien race, known as the Anunnaki, who came to Earth to mine for gold. Egyptian hieroglyphs depict hybrid creatures that were part man, part animal. Mysterious crop circles and unexplained crystal skulls are thought to contain messages that man has yet to decipher. Strange evidence may exist in multiple cultures throughout history, suggesting that aliens came here to explore, excavate raw materials, experiment on human beings, and even for pure conquest.^[5]

INTRODUCTION^[5a]

For centuries mankind believed that life only existed here on Earth, but today many scientists agree that we are not alone.

“Practically every human civilization that has ever existed tells us we are not alone in the cosmos.” – Michael Cremo (Author, Forbidden Archaeology)

“A long, long time ago, extraterrestrials came here, and through a targeted mutation of our genes, we became human.” – Giorgio A. Tsoukalos (Publisher, Legendary Times Magazine)

“We have, in theory, a worldwide civilization that has extraterrestrials interacting with it, and human beings, as we are today, who are possibly the genetic breeding of these aliens.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods)

“If we’re being visited, they’ve probably always been here.” – Nick Pope (British Ministry of Defense, 1985-2006), (Author, Open Skies, Closed Minds)

Millions of people around the world believe we have been visited in the past by extraterrestrial beings. But what if it were true? Did Ancient Aliens really help to shape our history? And, if so, why did they come here? And just what was their mission?
