0:21
Hello and welcome back.
0:23
Today is Sunday and hereby it's time for
0:25
another episode of our podcast.
0:28
Today we are going to dive into one
0:30
of the most sensational, controversial and fascinating alternative
0:34
worldviews ever put forward.
0:36
It concerns the origin of mankind, the meaning
0:39
of our civilization and what awaits us in
0:42
the future.
0:43
The man behind it is Zacharias Sitchin, a
0:46
Russian-born Israeli author who passed away in
0:51
2010 and who spent more than 40 years
0:53
of his life analysing the Sumerian clay tablets,
0:57
the Bible and the archaeological finds.
1:00
His conclusion, humanity did not emerge through a
1:03
random mutation, we were created and our creators
1:07
came from another planet, a planet that appears
1:09
in the ancient text under the name Libero.
1:18
Today, as your host, I will guide you
1:20
through Sitchin's framework of thoughts as it unfolds
1:23
in the text I have in front of
1:25
me, including his lectures and the central books
1:29
in the Earth Chronicles series.
1:31
I will read direct quotes from Sitchin so
1:34
you can hear them in his own words
1:37
or perhaps written by me.
1:41
I will do that because, I mean, he
1:43
passed away, so it's not possible to do
1:45
it the other way.
1:45
And in the end, we will turn our
1:47
gaze on what the established science has to
1:51
say.
1:52
What do archaeologists, astronomers and linguists make of
1:56
Sitchin's claims?
1:58
You will get that too, so buckle up,
2:00
grab a cup of coffee, because this is
2:02
the cosmos of Zacharias Sitchin.
2:08
Imagine standing in what is now southern Iraq
2:12
for about 6,000 years ago.
2:13
The area is primitive, hunters, gatherers, scattered settlements,
2:19
and then, as Sitchin puts it, suddenly, unexpectedly,
2:23
out of nowhere, a highly advanced civilization appears.
2:26
The Sumerians, Sitchin says in one of his
2:29
lectures.
2:33
About 6,000 years ago, an incredible civilization
2:37
appeared there.
2:39
All those who deal with it use such
2:42
words as suddenly, unexpectedly, out of nowhere, because
2:47
there is no gradual or any kind of
2:49
procedural civilization.
2:51
Suddenly, there appear cities, high-rise buildings, societal
2:55
organization, kings, priests, codes of law, literature, mathematics,
3:01
arts, music, all within a very short period.
3:06
And that is what really puzzles Sitchin.
3:11
How could humanity, after millions of years of
3:13
slow development, suddenly take a quantum leap?
3:16
He underscores it with a calculation that puts
3:18
time into perspective.
3:22
We are about 2,000 years from the
3:25
time of Jesus.
3:27
That time was about 2,000 years from
3:30
the times of Abraham.
3:32
And another 2,000 years, and that's where
3:36
this great civilization suddenly appeared.
3:45
But what did that civilization entail?
3:48
Sitchin points to three firsts.
3:51
First, the writing system, cuneiform, which made it
3:54
possible to write down laws, poetry, medical recipes,
4:00
and even a recipe for cocoa wine, which
4:03
is a chicken cooked in wine.
4:05
Second, the cylinder seal, in great, semi-precious
4:09
stones that printed a motif on wet clay
4:12
like a modern rotary press.
4:16
And third, high-rise constructions.
4:18
The Sumerians used bricks and erected temple towers,
4:23
these so-called sigarettes, up to 160 feet
4:27
high.
4:27
But the most astonishing thing, according to Sitchin,
4:30
is their astronomical use and knowledge.
4:34
He shows a cylinder seal from around 2
4:37
,000 BCE.
4:41
This seal depicts the sun, it depicts the
4:45
earth and its moon, it depicts the asteroid
4:47
belt, and behind Jupiter you see Saturn with
4:50
her rings, which we did not know anything
4:54
about until the invention of the telescope.
5:00
So how could the Sumerians have known about
5:03
phenomena that require advanced optics?
5:06
Sitchin's answer is blunt.
5:08
They were given the knowledge by someone who
5:10
came from outside.
5:16
And here we come to the core.
5:18
Sitchin's first book was titled The Twelfth Planet,
5:21
and the point is that our solar system,
5:27
according to the Sumerians, had 12 members, not
5:30
9 planets plus the sun and moon, but,
5:34
as Sumerians counted, the sun, the moon, and
5:37
10 planets.
5:38
The 10th planet, which Sitchin calls the 12th
5:42
in the Sumerian reckoning, is Nibiru.
5:44
And it is depicted on yet another cylinder
5:47
seal, the so-called VA-243, that is
5:53
now in Berlin.
5:54
Sitchin explains.
5:57
If you ask scholars what that scene depicts,
6:02
their answer, it's a mythological scene where the
6:06
gods of the early culture grant the plow
6:09
to the mankind.
6:10
But if you look at the celestial depiction,
6:13
it shows a star surrounded by planets, all
6:17
the planets we know with the correct size
6:20
and the correct order, except there is one
6:23
more planet right between Mars and Jupiter, where
6:26
the asteroid belt is now.
6:32
So how did this planet come into being?
6:35
The Sumerians, a great creation epic called the
6:39
Enuma Elish, described, according to Sitchin, a cosmic
6:42
collision billions of years ago.
6:44
I quote from his retelling.
6:49
Once, when the solar system became into coherence,
6:54
an invader from another solar system, a planet,
6:58
passed near ours, was caught by the gravitational
7:01
pull and changed course.
7:03
It moved into the opposite direction of the
7:06
other planets and reached great orbit.
7:09
Eventually, it collided with one of the original
7:12
planets, which this tech called Tiamat.
7:18
Tiamat, a female celestial body with 11 satellites,
7:23
was struck by Nibiru's moon, split into two.
7:26
One half became the asteroid belt, the hammered
7:30
bracelet, as the Bible calls it, and the
7:33
other half, along with Tiamat's largest moon, was
7:37
thrust into a new orbit that became our
7:39
planet Earth and our moon.
7:42
Sitchin points this out.
7:47
Modern science tells us that all the continents
7:50
used to be on the one side of
7:52
Earth and the other side was just a
7:55
huge cavity that was filled with water, still
7:58
called the Pacific Ocean.
8:00
If you read about the origin of the
8:03
moon, it all collaborates.
8:04
It all agrees with the Sumerian cosmology.
8:11
Nibiru itself remained into an elongated elliptical orbit,
8:16
bringing it back to our vicinity in approximately
8:19
3600 years, a divine year in the Sumerian
8:24
numbering system.
8:31
According to Sitchin, it was from Nibiru that
8:34
the Anunnaki came.
8:35
The name means something along those lines.
8:39
Those who from heaven to Earth came.
8:43
And they came with a purpose, gold.
8:46
Basically, gold.
8:48
Sitchin reads from Enki's autobiographical text.
8:54
When I approached the Earth, I saw greenish
8:57
marshes.
8:58
We splash-landed in the waters.
9:01
I commanded so-and-so to test the
9:03
water for probability.
9:05
I commanded so-and-so to build us
9:08
a kind of a shelter.
9:10
I commanded so-and-so to see if
9:13
there was edible food.
9:18
But it wasn't about sightseeing.
9:20
The Anunnaki needed gold to protect their dwindling
9:24
atmosphere in their own planet.
9:29
They needed gold particles as a shield to
9:32
protect the atmosphere on Nibiru.
9:36
First, they tried to extract gold from the
9:38
waters in the Persian Gulf, which failed.
9:42
They then turned the actual mining in South
9:45
-East Africa.
9:47
The Anunnaki workers toiled into the mines until
9:51
they, according to the Atrahitis epic, mutinated.
9:57
They said, no more.
10:00
This is not the kind of work we
10:01
can do.
10:02
We are astronauts.
10:03
We are not mine workers.
10:05
And there was a great consternation among the
10:09
leadership what to do.
10:14
The solution became mankind.
10:22
Enki, the scientist among the Anunnaki, proposed taking
10:26
an already existing creature, Homo Erectus, and upgrading
10:31
its genetic sequences.
10:35
Enki said, all we have to do is
10:38
to put our mark on it, our genetic
10:40
mark, and thereby raise that being more to
10:46
our level so it could follow our command,
10:50
understand our language, and do the work for
10:52
us.
10:55
The creation story is found in detail in
10:58
Sumerian text.
10:59
Through trial and error attempts, Enki and his
11:02
half-sister, Nihursag, mixed their genes with those
11:07
of Homo Erectus and created what they called
11:10
the perfect model, Lulu Alilu, the first human.
11:14
Sitchin quotes the goddess Triumph Cry.
11:20
She shouted, my hands have made it, and
11:23
that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we came
11:25
about.
11:29
He points to the striking parallel to the
11:31
book of Genesis, where the Elohim, in the
11:34
plural, the lofty ones, say, let us fashion
11:38
the atom in our image and after our
11:41
likeness.
11:45
Atom means earthling because he was made from
11:48
the elements of the earth and from the
11:50
essence of the god.
11:52
Sitchin quotes a Sumerian text.
11:56
The body of man was fashioned from a
12:00
mixture of god blood and the clay of
12:03
earth.
12:07
And Homo Erectus was put into work in
12:10
the mines and later in the gardens of
12:12
Eden.
12:15
According to Sitchin, the flood was not God's
12:19
punishment for the human sinfulness.
12:22
It was a predictable nature disaster triggered by
12:24
the end of an ice age when enormous
12:27
ice masses slid into the sea.
12:30
Anunnaki knew this was coming but swore to
12:33
keep it hidden from mankind except for Enki
12:36
who instructed Atrahitis, or should I say Noah,
12:39
to build an ark.
12:40
Sitchin recounts, When the storm began, the Anunnaki
12:46
took off in their shuttlecraft and remained in
12:49
earth orbit until the waters began to subside.
12:54
They saw Mankat dying below and the goddess
12:58
Nyuhasak lamented, My creatures have become like flies.
13:04
After the flood, the Anunnaki had to rebuild
13:07
their infrastructure.
13:08
They could no longer use the mud-covered
13:10
Mesopotamia, so they laid out a new landing
13:13
corridor with four central spaces-related sites.
13:18
The twin peaks of the Ararat Mountains as
13:20
a marker, the new mission control center in
13:22
Jerusalem, and a spade port on the Sinai
13:26
Pendula, and the artificial twin mountains, or should
13:32
I say the Pyramids of Giza.
13:34
Sitchin emphasized, Jerusalem was chosen as mission control
13:39
because it lay equidistantly from the other points,
13:43
exactly as Nippur has done before the flood.
13:53
So why is Jerusalem sacred?
13:56
For the Muslims, because Muhammad ascended to heaven
13:59
from there.
14:00
For the Christians, because Jesus ministered and died
14:03
there.
14:03
For the Jews, because the temple stood there.
14:06
But Sitchin asked, why precisely there?
14:08
There's no river, there's no resources, there's no
14:11
strategic trade routes.
14:14
The locations make no sense, unless you know
14:17
the Anunnaki landing pattern.
14:19
He reveals, The Temple Mount is an artificial
14:24
platform built by colossal stone blocks weighing up
14:27
to 600 tons, much larger than the 25
14:31
tons blocks in the Great Pyramid.
14:34
The western wall was excavated, a trillion tons
14:39
was found, three gigantic stones side by side,
14:42
exactly as in Baalbek in Lebanon.
14:48
Baalbek, according to Sitchin, was the actual landing
14:52
platform for the spacecraft.
14:54
He mentioned the Epic of Gilgamesh, where the
14:57
hero witnesses a rocket launch.
15:03
The heavens shrieked, the earth boomed, through daylight
15:08
was drawing, darkness came, lightning flashed, a flame
15:13
shot up, the clouds swelled, it rained death.
15:17
Then the glow vanished, the fire went out,
15:20
and all that had fallen was turned into
15:23
ashes.
15:28
A Phoenician coin from that era even depicted
15:31
the rocket on a piteous hill.
15:36
The Anunnaki were, however, not an anonymous family.
15:41
Clan feuds between Enlil and Enki's lineages escalated
15:45
into war.
15:46
Sitchin describes the Pyramid War, in which the
15:49
two sides fought for control over the landing
15:51
facilities.
15:52
Eventually, around 2024 BCE, they used nuclear weapons.
16:01
In a text called the Era Epic, it
16:04
is described how nuclear weapons were launched against
16:07
the spaceport in C9.
16:09
The crater can still be seen from space,
16:12
and the wind carried the radioactive cloud towards
16:15
Sumer.
16:17
The city stood, but all living things were
16:19
dead.
16:20
That was the end of the Sumerian civilization.
16:27
It was after this Sitchin believed that the
16:29
story of Sodoma and Gomorrah arose as an
16:32
echo of this catastrophe.
16:39
In his later years, Sitchin worked with the
16:41
biblical prophecies about the end of days.
16:46
He distinguished between the Day of the Lord,
16:49
which is the physical return of Nibiru, and
16:52
the end of days, which is an era
16:54
ending when the Anunnaki returns.
16:58
He explains that as Nibiru approaches, its symbol
17:03
shifts from the wing dish to the cross,
17:06
which is why the cross symbol begins to
17:09
appear in the Mesopotamia, in Egypt and Assyria
17:12
around 1000 BCE.
17:16
Each time that reappearance of Nibiru was expected,
17:22
the depiction, the symbol for Nibiru changed from
17:26
the wing dish to the cross.
17:29
This is not a new sign invented at
17:31
the time of Jesus.
17:32
That is a very ancient Sumerian sign.
17:38
The last time Nibiru was near Earth, as
17:40
Sitchin calculated, was in 556 BCE, when an
17:47
unexpected solar eclipse occurred.
17:50
With an orbital period of roughly 3600 years,
17:57
it makes no sense that the world should
18:00
end in 2012, as some Maya calculator has
18:06
claimed.
18:09
2012 does not work.
18:11
The only thing that is certain about 2012
18:13
is that there is another presidential election.
18:18
Nibiru does not come in 2012.
18:21
It may come within our century, still within
18:25
the age of the Pisces.
18:30
Sitchin refers to Sir Isaac Newton's handwritten calculations
18:34
of the Daniel prophecies, where the number 2160
18:40
occurs.
18:41
That is a zodiac age of 2160 years,
18:46
and it is precisely at Armageddon.
18:50
A church that was discovered in the early
18:53
2000s, with a mosaic floor depicting Pisces.
19:03
I believe these things are omen.
19:07
What will happen, I don't know.
19:09
But the biblical prophecies say, at a time
19:13
of the tribulience, will come before the god
19:18
returns and set things right.
19:25
A fascinating side of the aspect of the
19:28
attached text are the so-called mixed creatures.
19:32
Perhaps you know these things.
19:34
A human head on a lion body.
19:37
And it's not just symbolic.
19:39
According to Sitchin and the related author Erik
19:43
van Dyneken, who lectures, this is also in
19:45
my material here.
19:49
The god created mixed creatures through genetic manipulation.
19:54
Not as a fantasy, but as a functional
19:56
being for different planets.
19:58
A lion's strength combined with a crocodile's heat
20:02
-resistant skin are ideal for a hot planet.
20:07
In Saqqara in Egypt, archaeologist Auguste Mariette discovered
20:13
gigantic sarcophagi containing bones from different animals, smashed
20:18
and buried into bitumen.
20:21
Sitchin's interpretation is that the god is preventing
20:24
these manipulated hybrids from ever resurrecting in the
20:28
afterlife.
20:30
This underscores his point.
20:32
The old gods were genetic engineers using DNA
20:36
technology long before we have any conceptual knowledge
20:41
of it.
20:45
Those were the words of Sitchin.
20:47
But how does the established science take this?
20:52
I will try to do that in this
20:54
final section, where I will try to tell
21:00
what they think of it.
21:01
We will start with astronomy and planetary science.
21:06
Astronomers completely reject the existence of Nibiru on
21:10
a 3,600-year orbit that will bring
21:14
it into the inner solar system.
21:16
Such an orbit would be unstable and would
21:19
either reject the planet from the system or
21:22
cause it to collide.
21:24
The asteroid belt is, according to modern science,
21:27
not debris from an exploded planet, but material
21:30
that was never created into a planet due
21:33
to Jupiter's gravity.
21:37
The Sumerians' astronomical knowledge, while it is impressive,
21:42
has no evidence of knowledge of Uranus, Neptune,
21:44
and Pluto, planets that require telescopes.
21:48
The cylinder seal called VA-243, which Sitchin
21:53
uses as his main evidence, is dismissed by
21:57
the astrologist with a simple rendering of stars,
22:03
not our solar system.
22:05
And the number of dots does not even
22:07
match the elliptical configuration.
22:11
If we look into the history and the
22:13
archaeology, then Sumerologists like Samuel Cramer and others
22:18
point out that Sitchin grossly mistranslates and plucks
22:22
text out of context.
22:23
For instance, the word Sheem is not a
22:27
rocket ship, but means name of Reno.
22:30
The Sigurads were temples, not spaceports.
22:33
Baalbek's giant stones remain an engineering puzzle.
22:39
But there is no genuine indication of pre
22:42
-Roman space family technology, and the pyramids were,
22:46
in all its probability, built by the Egyptians
22:49
in the Old Kingdom, dated precisely in which
22:53
archaeological and historical methods.
22:57
In terms of genetics and biology, the idea
22:59
that the humans were created through genetic manipulation
23:04
300,000 years ago is contradicted by fossil
23:07
finds and DNA sequence, which shows a gradual
23:11
evolution over millions of years.
23:13
Our genome shares 98-99% with chimpanzees,
23:19
but the differences are fully compatible with natural
23:22
selections and mutation.
23:24
There is no crossbreed with extraterrestrials.
23:28
And if we look at the biblical, then
23:29
Sitchin's reading of the Bible according to theologians
23:33
is a misinterpretation.
23:35
Nifilin, can, means the fallen ones, and refers
23:38
in context to violent men, not to astronauts.
23:42
The Elohim plural form is a linguistic, myaesthetic
23:46
plural, not a group of space gods.
23:49
Sitchin's imposed a modern space age upon ancient
23:53
mythology.
23:54
So, in summary, Sitchin's hypothesis is considered by,
23:59
should we say, the scientific consensus as pseudoscience.
24:03
Imaginative, but lack of evidence.
24:06
Nevertheless, one cannot deny that it raises questions
24:11
about humanity's fate.
24:14
So, the conclusion, yeah.
24:24
The conclusion is that by the end of
24:26
the day, you have to conclude yourself in
24:28
which you want to believe.
24:30
Zachary Sitchin, or should we say the established
24:32
science, I'm personally not so sure about it.
24:37
I prefer to trust in the scientific community.
24:45
However, I have a big problem because the
24:48
alleged methods should also be able to create
24:51
these kind of things.
24:52
And one of the key things that the
24:56
modern science is not able to, is precision.
24:59
Even that you are able to do this
25:03
manufacturing of, say, pyramids or the sacrifice in
25:07
Saqqara and so on, you still need to
25:12
achieve the precision.
25:14
And nobody ever, to my knowledge, has found
25:16
the measurement things that are required to do
25:21
so.
25:22
For me, it's not a discussion if you
25:24
are using an angel grinder as a power
25:26
tool or you are using a pounding stone
25:29
and copper chisel.
25:30
That's not the key thing.
25:32
The key thing is that how do we
25:34
apply it with that precision that is demonstrated.
25:37
And here, the modern science is lacking, seriously,
25:43
to put it bluntly.
25:44
So for me, it's two different explanations.
25:50
You can pick the one you like, but
25:52
facts is that the alleged construction measures proposed
25:58
by the modern science does not work.
26:01
You can do it yourself.
26:02
I mean, even with an angel grinder, you
26:04
cannot apply a precision of a thousandth of
26:07
a millimeter.
26:08
But that is actually what they are doing,
26:10
some of the statues and other constructions.
26:13
Anyway, have a nice day and see you
26:15
again next week.
