For many individuals, the genesis of humanity has always been a source of fascination. Scientists believe that life evolved in the seas over millions of years and that humans are just the consequence of this evolution.
Ancient astronaut theories, on the other hand, have a different view of the beginning of humanity. They believe that in the distant past, ancient gods (Annunaki) came to Earth and created humanity. Although this hypothesis has long been debunked, numerous ancient scriptures claim that they came from the heavens.
Author Zecharia Sitchin has argued that ancient astronauts, an extraterrestrial race, have interfered with human genetics. He claimed that the Annunaki were an alien race that came to Earth in search of riches on Nibiru, a legendary planet beyond Neptune.
According to Sitchin, the Annunaki altered the DNA of early humans 450,000 years ago, mixing their genes with theirs and putting them to work harvesting the Earth’s natural riches, such as gold. Nibiru, he said, has a long elliptical orbit and passes close to Earth every 3,600 years. He further claimed that the planet was home to highly superior humans who were taller than humans. They were attracted to the gold riches of southeastern Africa about 450,000 years ago.
Sitchin is the author of more than 13 books, which have sold millions of copies worldwide. His works have been published in 25 different languages. Scientists, historians, and archaeologists have called him a “fool” because of his alternative view of ancient history, gods, and civilization. Despite this, he managed to continue his research.
Zecharia Sitchin is a former extraterrestrial theorist.
In addition to Sitchin, there is much evidence in ancient books from various cultures about gods who came from the sky. In addition, there are legends about visitations from the stars among the Anasazi, Hopi, and Dogon peoples, among others.
When these intergalactic invaders arrived on Earth, he claimed, they found primitive men. Enki, the Annunaki wisdom deity, intervened in the genes of these bipeds, genetically tweaked their DNA and forced them to work as miners.
The cities of the gods were destroyed by the great flood 30,000 years ago, which prompted them to pass on their knowledge to humanity. The Annunaki gods, according to Sitchin, returned to their home in a spaceship about 2,569 years ago (550 BC).
The story of El Dorado is often associated with the gold ceremonies held by the Muisca people near Lake Guatavita in Colombia. According to folklore, the Muisca people dumped large quantities of gold into the lake. This sacred site continues to attract prospectors. Researchers believe that evidence of extraterrestrial life that came to Earth in search of gold may be found at the bottom of the lake.
What was the purpose of gold for those aliens? Aliens may have used gold to reflect the sun’s rays from their atmosphere and save the planet, according to ancient extraterrestrial theorists. Gold is a vital component in space exploration and astronomy.
“Gold is an inert material; it doesn’t react with anything,” said Derrick Pitts, chief astronomer and planetarium director at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. “It’s a fantastic electrical conductor … and a fantastic infrared reflector. Gold blankets could be used to protect spacecraft from the extreme heat of a star or any other heat source.”
In the temple of the sun in Qorikancha, Cusco, Peru, there was a gigantic golden solar disk. “A symbol of a gold-plated UFO that arrived in front of the Inca monarch Atahualpa, famous for having direct communication with the gods of the sky,” according to some scholars.
Other beliefs speculated that the pyramids of Giza were actually ancient reactors that aliens used to manufacture gold.
