A Scary Truth Behind the Original Bible Story

 In this Book, Paul documents the links within the Sumerian creation account: The word Annunaki, he explains, means “Those who came from the heavens to Earth,” a phrase that made clear their extraterrestrial origins.

Many of the world’s oldest mythologies claim that governance over human society began with dominance over human beings being established by superior beings or “gods.” And then the job of ruler ship gets handed over at a later stage to human governors or Kings ..

The Bible originated from the ancient Sumerian text. Text found with the same story. Pre-dating the Biblical accounts by thousands of years. Documenting Ancient Aliens.

The Sumerian story begins with the rulers coming down from the heavens. And the glyph for these rulers is a symbol pointing to the sky! The Annunaki were from the heavens. They were sky people! - WHY ARE WE HERE? A Scary Truth Behind the Original Bible Story | Full Documentary


I’ve been a preacher for more than 30 years, I’ve studied and taught through the book of Genesis many  times in churches all around the world and I’ve trained pastors in the skills of interpreting texts and it’s very clear they’re not stories about Gods they’re stories about a powerful ones in the Bible and the sky people the Anunnaki in the Sumerian tablets in 1896 eminent scholar Nathaniel Schmidt was fired from his position as professor of Semitic languages at Colgate University for 11 years this American University had enjoyed Nathaniel Schmitz erudition and Semitic languages he delivered numerous courses in Hebrew Aramaic Coptic Arabic Syriac and other ancient languages besides in fact Nathaniel Schmidt was one of Americas leading scholars in the field so why after eleven years of outstanding achievement was he tried for heresy and fired from his tenure in 1896 through a devout Christian and a Baptist pastor the authorities considered that his recent theological papers had struck at the very roots of two world religions.

Christianity and Judaism what Nathaniel Schmidt had done wrong was read the Sumerian and Babylonian and Assyrian texts and noticed that they were full of fascinating parallels stories that occurred there that were uncannily similar to all the stories of beginnings of the Bible stories like Adam and Eve the fall Cain and Abel the flood the limiting of human life the event at the Tower of Babel and Schmidts work demonstrated that the Sumerian accounts and those that followed it from nearly 6,000 years ago were in all probability the source of all those familiar biblical stories now that was a problem in the 1890s because if you think about it the church was still reading from the after-effects of Charles Darwins On the Origin of Species it was busy putting together new doctrinal basis and new doctrines of
biblical inerrancy to shore up the ship so the idea that the Bible might actually be based on somebody else’s stories was a bit of an embarrassment it shouldn’t have been because Judaism and Christianity both find their roots in the story of a Sumerian family the family of Abraham and Sarah Abraham and Sarah grew up and spent the best part of their lives in or of the Chaldees a Sumerian culture and so when they emigrated from there it’s hardly surprising that they would carry with them all the stories of beginnings that they had grown up with and so them into the foundations of what was to become their culture their religion and their.

Bible and so it shouldn’t be a surprise that in the Bible we have a summary version of all these stories that pepper the Sumerian Babylonian and Assyrian texts the problem and the shock horror is that the original versions the Sumerian versions of these stories make no mention of God at all in the Sumerian originals these are stories of our ancestors contact with another species a species called the Anunnaki could Judaism and Christianity z for me stories of God really be a retelling of our ancestors close encounters with extraterrestrials the cuneiform tablets which had fascinated Nathaniel Schmidt were first unearthed in the 1500s as colonial powers began to excavate the ancient sites of Mesopotamia over the decades that followed some 200,000 clay tablets were uncovered the tablets were adorned with strange edgings or glyphs made when the clay was soft scholars of the day were divided as to the meanings of these markings some believed the glyphs to be an unknown written language others refused to accept this since the tablets appeared to predate any known language they presumed the markings to be no more than decoration and so the tablets were archived there secrets locked away for three centuries until in 1835 Henry Rawlinson arrived in southwestern Iran Rawlinson was a military man he was employed by the East India tea company and he was in Iran helping the Shah of Iran to train his troops as worth pausing there for a moment because if you thought that corporations rivaling nation-states was something new take a look at the East India tea company a tea company that is able to move a standing army around the world and that trains the armies of nation-states that quite a tea company in fact.

Rawlinson as presence in Iran wasn’t part of a quid pro quo for trading rights he was there for access to the district of baekje stoon he wanted to find that they his stone inscription the baihe stone inscription was an ancient royal proclamation carved into a cliff face it was written in three known languages Persian elamite and Arcadian which was the common language of the Mesopotamian cultures the inscription expressed all three languages in cuneiform script it was the translation key that cuneiform tablets had been waiting for the memories of Mesopotamia’s ancient cultures were suddenly an open book the glyphs were not mere decoration after all they were banking records business agreements shopping lists contracts recipes inventories royal histories and the most ancient narrative in the history of the world it was in these ancient narratives that the source of the Bibles familiar stories began to emerge at an academic level Nathaniel Schmitt was in good company.


He was one of a small number who began confronting us with this new layer of our history and I should mention just to reassure you that shortly after Colgate University fired him he did get a new job with Cornell University and he was professor of Semitic languages there for a full 36 years so he did land on his feet his work continued to argue that the cuneiforms reveal that our earliest histories are not about God they are about our prehistoric contact with the Anunnaki in the 20th century the writers zecharia sit chin began pouring over the uneiform texts he highlighted the clear implications of the Sumerian stories
that the Anunnaki were powerful and advanced extraterrestrial species their arrival on planet Earth put them at the top of the terrestrial food chain to create a local workforce the Anunnaki used sequences of their own genetic code to hybridize a prime red ancestor into a human ready to put to work for their Anunnaki masters such an argued the word Anunnaki means those who came from the heavens to earth a phrase that made clear their extraterrestrial origin zecharia sit chin was not an academic he was not a PhD or a professor he had a degree from the London School of Economics and worked in commerce and the LSE I should say is a pretty August institution he wrote at a popular level that to say for a general audience and not with the kind of referencing and footnotes that you’d expect to see in an academic kind of tome and academic critics don’t like that they think that slack some might identify mistakes or bias in his work and that then their pretext to disregard his contribution which is an important one now some writers in the field rejects.

Hitchens translation of the word Anunnaki and they would contend that the words usage tells us that it simply means nobility or royalty the rulers I’m not persuaded by that it’s not that not true it’s just a very partial answer it’s a very lazy explanation it simply doesn’t ask enough questions who were the rulers identified by this word why is that word associated with the rulers you see if you look at the etymology of the word at its root meanings look at the component parts you have a new which means heavens key which means earth Annunaki are those who came from the heavens to the earth you can follow the logic but even if you didn’t have that narrative embedded in the word itself as soon as you read the canary forms the stories themselves unpack that that is exactly what was going on and the glyph that they use to indicate the rulers to come down from the heavens at the beginning of the story that glyph simply indicates the sky so these Anunnaki are from the heavens their sky people many of the worlds
oldest mythologies claim that governance over human society began with dominance over human beings being established by superior beings or gods and then the job of ruler ship is handed over at a later stage to human governors or kings Egyptian mythology holds such a narrative similarly the Bible speaks of King Saul as the first human king over the people of God the Sumerian cuneiform also named their first human King Gilgamesh to be more accurate Gilgamesh is a transition King a hybrid of human and Anunnaki his name appears on one of the most famous of Mesopotamian artifacts the Sumerian Kings list among the shopping lists legal agreements business contracts and all the rest of the cuneiform tablets there appears one on first inspection is a dry record of a succession of Kings of Samaria the most recent entries record rains of 6 to 36 years as we go further back on a timeline the Kings list starts running with some odd-looking information because out of the blue we suddenly read of a dynasty that lasted twenty four thousand five hundred and ten years three months and three and a half days now that precision absolutely befits.

Sumerian culture because it’s from Sumerian culture that we get 360 degrees in a circle 60 seconds in a minute 60 minutes in an hour so the precision doesn’t surprise us what is odd is that that dynasty of twenty four thousand five hundred and ten years three months and three and a half days was divided across no more than twenty three kings that an average reign of more than a thousand years each and it’s not a one-off the dynasty concluded by the great flood lasted two hundred and forty-one thousand years shared by no more than eight kings that an average reign of more than thirty thousand years now some have tried to make the dates symbolic or have interpreted their unit of time differently but that doesn’t quite work when it’s an unbroken record of 6 to 36 year reigns to 36 thousand year rains all in the same unit of time all in the same narrative the narrative begins with non-human Kings who then hand over to human kings and this elasticity of the length of their dynasties is another suggestion that the nonhuman kings are something quite different to human beings it’s like comparing the lifespan of a human being with the lifespan of an ant the Kings list is not the only evidence pointing to an extraterrestrial hypothesis the Sumerian version of the Tower of Babel speaks of fifty technicians who employ mysterious technology to dispatch 300 observers to their stations and the Stars read alongside the Genesis account the two narratives confirm one another and paint a vivid picture Babel was a Stargate providing the observers rapid access to Space Stations the thing that got me into this whole field of research was an anomalous word in the book of Genesis.

I’ve been a preacher for more than thirty years I’ve studied and taught through the book of Genesis many  times in churches all around the world and I’ve trained pastors in the skills of interpreting texts so I’ve long known about this anomalous word or finally I allowed myself the time to sit down and really drill into what was going on Genesis uses two words for God one is Elohim and one is Yahweh or Jehovah now Yahweh is the holy name given to Moses in a time centuries or millennia after all the action described in the stories of beginnings so the fact that the word Yahweh appears in those much older stories that Clues us that were not reading the original version of the stories the stories are being retold by someone after the time of Moses now there’s a broad consensus among biblical scholars that the current version of the Old Testament the Hebrew Scriptures was edited or redacted sometime in the sixth century BCE and that the redactor by putting the name Yahweh into these older stories the stories that Abraham and Sarah had brought with them was telling the reader to regard them as Gods stories by using the later name he’s also telling the reader this is not the original version originally they were elohim stories now that word elohim is a very interesting word because it’s a plural form word it often exhibits plural behaviors let us make let us make the humans to look like one of us we don’t want them to become too much like one of us etc. the word elohim often takes plural verb forms is sometimes translated as God but in other places it gets translated as false gods or demons or angels or chieftains or land barons so why this enormous elasticity in the words meaning well again we have to go back to the roots of the word and ask why is it used that way and why does it behave like a plural when you look at its component parts the word Elohim means the powers or the powerful ones now when you read Genesis translating the word that way the text change and suddenly line up with the Sumerian texts a one by one they confirm each other’s stories and its very clear they’re not stories about gods they’re stories about a powerful ones in the Bible and the sky people the Anunnaki in the Sumerian tablets but is there any material evidence that a nonhuman ruling presence ever occupied planet Earth one might reasonably ask why have no physical remains of Anunnaki been found firstly.



I would know that the more we dig up ancient sites the greater a diversity of ancient peoples were finding if you think about the hobbits that were found in Indonesia we called them hobbits In the proper name is Homer florensis or the Giants of Noble County or the red-haired Giants of North America or the long skulls of piraka set cetera there’s a great range of people that were beginning to come across as we dig into our ancient past so how would we know if we found an Anunnaki well one obvious possibility is by DNA testing so if Gilgamesh really was a human Anunnaki hybrid then all we have to do is find the royal tomb and DNA test him well I believe that exactly what happened in Iraq in 2003 at went in protected by American troops at the beginning of the 2003 Iraq invasion and found Gilgameshs tomb Fassbender spoke to the BBC even go on his website you can read all about it now the official story is that having located the probable tomb site 16 years ago we decided not to investigate any further similarly in 1927 the British archaeologist Leonard Woolley discovered a person known as Queen puabi now she was a high-ranking Sumerian leader who lived around 2500 BCE and they had found her remains so again here’s another fine witch with todays technology provides us with the opportunity to DNA test.
 
We can now test Sumerian royalty to confirm whether it was entirely human the result apparently we’ve decided not to investigate any further now what do you make of that wouldn’t you want to know but why would an extraterrestrial species be interested in governing a human population on planet Earth why would advanced beings from another planet have any interest in interfering with human evolution and managing a human population why would they teach prehistoric humans about mathematics reading legal and banking systems contracts of employment money and pricing mechanisms and why would they then withdraw I wonder if our own behavior as a species on our own planet might give us an insight on what such colonization might look like because when we colonize we go in with force we show our superiority and we take over we provide the police we provide the army the education we put the locals to work.

We creamed off the prophets and the natural resources and pay sickly enjoy all the benefits of sitting at the top of the economic tree with a powerful visible presence to keep control but after a while you can get the locals to do their own policing and their own school teaching let the locals become the lawyers and the bankers and quite a local as the governor as long as you have some control of the value of the money and as long as you set all the commodity prices and exchange rates you don’t really need to maintain a visible presence anymore and so you can go home you can live in another country and still enjoy all the benefits of sitting at the top of the economic tree now that how we do it how we’ve done it from the Roman Empire to the Spanish to the Dutch the Portuguese that British the American that how we do it is it possible that an et presence may have colonized the world in our prehistoric past in a way that analogous to that that another species came and resided on planet Earth for a while they sat at the top of the economic tree and enjoyed all the benefits of it and then withdrew in exactly the kind of way.



I’ve just mapped out you know I wonder how much like the Anunnaki we are and as for what they we’re looking for it could have been minerals I believe it was I think there’s strong evidence of prehistoric mines in southern Africa it may well have been minerals but it could have been something else something to do with the properties of planet Earth and it might have been something to do with ourselves our uniqueness as homo sapiens where our ancestors really engineered as workers toiling for the colonizers were the Anunnaki only interested in our planets resources and coldly indifferent to the progress of the human race other ancestral narratives speak of our human origins in exactly the same terms and yet there are other strands to the story the Greek Babylonian narrative of Oh Annas and the up kallu speak of the visitors helping and educating our human ancestors Native American memory reports in two-dimensional and extraterrestrial visitors nurturing the beginnings of human society Zulu mythology speaks of our ancestors being nurtured by advanced beings might the Anunnaki have had a more generous motivation towards their human workforce my book escaping from Eden argues that our ancient texts recall a range of species that bumped up against our ancestors and the stories in our world my theology’s tell of conflicting ideas among the visitors as to how conscious and how intelligent they wanted humans to be now certainly there are some cold agendas towards humanity that play out in our worlds stories of beginnings the limiting of human life a flood to kill them all a neurological interference to take the power of speech from us and dumb us down a bombing that destroys our Engineering and Technology a neurological interference to lower our perceptual and cognitive abilities now in this Sumerian version of these stories it’s the senior Anunnaki Enlil who actions and pushes all these negative agendas that are somewhat hostile to human beings but there is another agenda in the Annunaki community there is a figure called Enki who appears to be the leader of the earth project and he is junior to Enlil hes described as an Leals brother so in the Sumerian story humanity gets caught in the crossfire of these mysterious beings in conflict a number of our so-called creation myths begin with a rehabilitation of a devastated and flooded planet shrouded in darkness and that arrival is a positive interaction with this other species because they begin to nurture life on the planet they nurture animal life they nurture human life then later in the Sumerian account its Enki the one who’s in charge of the earth project who wants to upgrade human beings for a more enjoyable a better a more conscious kind of life and there’s a conflict between Enlil and Enki over whether that should happen and lyl the CEO does not want that and so Anke breaks ranks to achieve that upgrade for us when Enlil wants to destroy the human experiment by devastating the planet again its Enki who seeks out a favored family the family of Atrahasis aka Zeus sudra aka Hooten episteme aka Noah and gives him instructions as to how to construct an escape pod for his family and his farm so they can reboot the project so I think we can say the Anunnaki presence is a mixed bag for Humanity were really caught in the crossfire of this conflict among a species who are ambivalent about the progress of human society there is oppression and slavery in the Annunaki narrative but there’s also a concern for human welfare and a nurturing of human beings so it’s a mixed story today’s reports of ET contact reflect a similar range of agendas some harmful some indifferent and some nurturing are these contemporary experiences connected with the Annunaki narratives or are people today experiencing something or someone different what difference does the Annunaki narrative make to human beings today.

If you and I apart primate in part Anunnaki how does that help us and are the Anunnaki still present or are we now our own masters does the Anunnaki narrative give us an explanation of our original separation from all other animal forms on planet Earth but leave us with no word about our future my hope is focused not so much on external interventions as on our own capabilities our ancestral narratives all speak of higher consciousness being downgraded in our prehistoric past and to my mind that raises the possibility that our cognitive abilities can be upgraded and our consciousness can be heightened our mythologies speak of our perceptual field being limited to my mind that suggests we might be able to expand it the Anunnaki narrative speaks of us laboring for superiors and you can see that were hardwired to do that but what if we were able to break down that programming and start working for one another instead of those above us what if we de engineered all our neurological slave settings and allowed ourselves to live freer less fearful lives what would that look like many of the cultures that have curated these stories and beginnings have also curated modalities methods that are designed to reawaken a higher state of consciousness so ancient Greek culture which had this narrative also had the modality of a kikiyaon ritual chi-chuen was a kind of tea ritual aimed at heightening a person’s state of consciousness in Mesoamerica we find another tea ceremony with exactly the same purpose if we go to indigenous Australia or to Native America we find smoke and smoking ceremonies and similar activities in the ancient Indian cultures that produced the Vedas Eastern monastic traditions have disciplines of stillness and conscious breathing and in my experience they really do have perches in terms of altering our state of consciousness and heightening our abilities for a better human experience if the Annunaki stories represent our true origins as a species at human beings apart earthling and part higher being what does that mean for our potential as human beings today are we bound to the contracts of employment systems of money and banking and the tyranny of hours minutes and seconds first taught to the ancient Sumerians more than 5000 years ago or are other ways open to us as human beings might higher forms of consciousness help us achieve a new freedom from the legacy of our enslaved past and provide a pathway to a better human experience for more on these and other probing questions stay tuned to the fifth kind TV and the Paul Wallace channel subscribe and click on the bell for notifications so that you never miss when new videos are posted thank you for watching the fifth kind.

Most Dangerous Ways To School | NICARAGUA

 Every morning, the three sisters Julia, Yulissa and Kenya climb into their dugout in order to row to school. They live on the east coast of Nicaragua, one of the world’s poorest countries, and the youngest of them has just turned five; the oldest is nine. They row across the Rio Escondido. Not only is it one of the largest rivers in the country, it is simultaneously one of the most dangerous routes to school. While they have to watch out for snakes lurking in the trees over the river, the three sisters also struggle against the current and must ensure the dugout does not fill up with water - because it has multiples holes and could sink at any minute. Other classmates do not necessarily have it easier, because they live far from the river, and their journey to school takes them through the deep jungle. One of these classmates is 11-year-old Greyven. His daily trip di lui takes him through the so-called 'snake field', in which coral snakes and the infamous boa constrictor resid

Wu Zetian (Chinese History Documentary) | Timeline

 She’s probably the most controversial woman in Chinese history - Wu Zetian, who rose from lowly concubine to become the only woman in all Chinese history to dare to take the title "Emperor" Since her death 1,300 years ago, Wu Zetian has been remembered as a callous tyrant, who brought calamity to China. But now, extraordinary new discoveries are revealing a very different picture of her reign of her. As archaeologists investigate hidden tombs, spectacular pagodas, gigantic palaces and priceless treasures from her time, they are uncovering a very different story of China’s female Emperor, her skills and her empire. Wu Zetian’s China was a military, economic and cultural superpower, whose influence stretched from the edge of the Mediterranean to Japan and India. Recent discoveries reveal the wealth and stability of her reign de ella, and point to her skills de ella as a politician and a leader. But they also provide tantalizing new evidence of the cruelty and violence at her h

exactly is the goop inside a lava lamp

 Couple of tips.  For color, use  aniline dye.  I think it can be had for use as candle colorant.  probably find it on sleazebay.  You want a dye that mixes with the paraffin and not a pigment which consists of solid particles suspended in oil.  Second, to adjust the specific gravity, look into gauge fluid.   as in manometer fluid.  It is available in specific gravities from about 0.5 to 4.3.  These are chlorinated hydrocarbons but since they don't evaporate (if they did, they'd mess up the calibration of the manometer), there is no chemophobia concern.  The 4.3 stuff is really weird.  It has a viscosity similar to water but is so heavy that one might think there is mercury in the bottle. Hello and welcome to No Effort November, a series of videos for the month of November in which it is becoming increasingly obvious the title is a misnomer. Today’s video is about lava lamps! Yes, those things that hang out in the set unceremoniously. Just doing’ their globular thing. Speaking

1453 - Ottoman Wars DOCUMENTARY

 The Eastern Roman Empire was under constant Ottoman pressure ever since the new conquerors appeared in the Anatolia. Although the Ottomans tried to take Constantinople on a number of occasions, they had to lift the siege of the city due to the Crusades of Varna and Nicopolis, the Timurid Invasion and the battle of Ankara, and the Interregnum period that happened after their Sultan Bayezid was taken hostage by Timur. However, after the victories at the battles of Varna (1444) and 2nd Kosovo (1448) against the crusaders of Wladyslaw III and John Hunyadi , the road to Constantinople was open and the new sultan Mehmed II set his sight on the city of the Roman emperors ... The Ottoman Empire attempted to besiege Constantinople and end the Byzantine Empire on a half-dozen occasions. But these sieges were interrupted by the Crusades, civil wars, rebellions and the invasion of Timor. However by the middle of the 15th century, the Ottomans consolidated their territory and finally entered a per
