after having watch the vid and read the txt, it all makes sense now.
if you havent read the Terra-papers i sugest you do, everything falls into place

I'm very surprised that no one involved in this thread has mentioned the following information. Now, I don't remember where I got it, but the gist follows:

Jim Henson was part of an expedition that discovered some secret scrolls in a desert cave. Only he was able to open them because he had amazing dexterity due to his years working with puppets. Anyway, he opened one and as he was reading it (I forgot to mention he was a polyglot who spoke and read many, many ancient tongues)...as I was saying he was reading/translating, but as the scolls had been hidden for so long, they began to disintegrate because of the exposure to air.

He was able to remember enough to write some scripts for Fraggle Rock, which is clearly an allegory for all that ancient Sumerian garbage. Had he been able to read all of the scrolls, he could have made a few more seasons of the best puppet show since "Muppets Take Manhattan".

It's really a fascinating story, and I don't think it's any coincidence that he died a mysterious death.

Im with you 100%, When it comes to the ancient civilizations , for example the sumerians, egyptians, The intellect, and feats that were accomplished do not have human explanations that make any sense. The knowledge of science, mathematics, geometry and astrology that the sumerians possesed for the time period does not correctly add up. I don't believe that they were capable of these things at that time without having help, or some sort of influence from "outside". Same goes with the pyramids . All of a sudden the sumerian civilization appears, not only are they one of the first civilizations that we know about, in some fields way more advanced than civilizations in the middle ages..., the amount of information they had was... somewhat impossible. Sitchin dedicated 30 years of study in these fields and he truly believes in exactly what has been said about the annunaki. The possibility of the annunaki coming to earth, genetically engineering humans by interbreeding them makes more sense than anything i have read on the situation. I could very well be wrong , but this is what i believe and it might be crazy but no more crazy then putting faith in of the worlds religions today. ( except for maybe parts of buddhism). And i know stitchin's theory has been refuted quite notably by Mike Heiser, but mike's research and discussions on UFO's and christiannity do not have me swayed. Yes and i sawa documentary on the batteries, made of clay pots, copper rods and vinegar was it? Crazy # , i have also read that the egyptians as well used these batteries to light the inside of their tombs. How could a civilization this far back ever possibly think about making a battery...

My work colleagues wondered what I was laughing at

Your motto should be "deny idiots" rather than arrogance

Great advice! Am I the only one seeing the irony here?

Maybe you should practise what you preach and stop posting in this thread.

Would this be the same Sitchin who was jailed for embezzlement to finance his first book of schlock, and wrote his second book of schlock while in prison. Is this the same Sitchin who, though schooled in economics, claims he is the only person in the world who can correctly read Sumerian? Would this be the same Sitchin who mistakes Sumerian and Akkadian, and frequently interchanges them to support his conclusions? Is this the same Sitchin who claims the Sumerians knew of 12 planets, when every single other researcher knows the Sumerians only knew 5? Is this the same Sitchin who says Seal VA 243 depicts the sun, when his supposed "sun" doesn't match any other symbol of the sun on any other tablet, and matches the symbol for "star"?

Shall I continue?

The thing I do not understand is the amount of information that is "leaked". tablets, videos, pictures etc...
This information should be made available to everyone.
Now if something is to be leaked it would suggest some degree of security and if for some reason it has been decided that it is our best interest not to know, why is so much is being leaked? The security measures are obviously not so great.
Who is leaking this data? If the tablets are so secretive why are the translations being published? And why oh why is Sitchin still alive?!?! (The last question has nothing to do with leaking info..Its just my personal wish )

Ignorance really is bliss isn't it ?

Whatever you may or may not believe about the Annunaki or Nibiru or the fact that these "aliens" as you call them, made us. The fact remains that most of our religious beliefs actually say the same thing. The bible for one says the same thing as this, lookup the word God in Genesis, you may or may not be surprised to find it is infact "elohim" - a plural word meaning Gods/Angels of God. Later in the bible they translate it as Angels, but in Genesis they translated it as God which was obviously done in order to make people feel better about themselves.

I realise that this may come across quite blasphemous but in all honesty, I dont really care, people need to remember how to read.

Now let us look at the Cain and Abel story, supposedly the first children of Adam and Eve who were created by the "elohim". Cain slays Abel and is banished from the Garden, he goes east into the land of Nod and there finds a wife ? -- Hold up. You see that's the question right there isn't it ?
The bible is telling us that there are different people here on earth, how do the people outside of the garden of Eden differ from those created by the Elohim in the garden ? interesting...


He later goes on to start the movement you today know of as the Masons. All of the people from Tyre and Sidon were masons, and this is where the masonic order has it's roots.

You know it's really easy to laugh about and ridicule these things, but that's ok if it keeps you in your comfort zone.

If this is true and they actually have found new clay tablets, then this is nothing to laugh about. You do know Sumer is the oldest civilisation known to mankind. These people accomplished amazing things thousands of years ago so I don't think you are in a position to laugh about what they believed or maybe even knew for fact.

The OP has posted this news in Skunk works. There should be no issue with posting any theory at all if so desired. Equally, it's entirely reasonable for people to dismiss theories that they feel don't have any basis in fact.

You state that the Sumer people "accomplished amazing things thousands of years ago. That may well be true, within a given historical context. I accept they were among the first to achieve various things, be it the first to use the wheel or less practical, cultural developments in language and communication.

What I don't accept is any demonstrated leap between their being a civilised society and their having supernatural abilities to predict the future.

Maybe I know the secret to eternal life - I can use a wheel, I know basic arithmetic and I'm generally speaking a fairly miserable b**tard. To that extent I'm very similar to the Sumerans.

Apologies for the double post, but mortalengine, the Bible does not say the same thing. You interpret it as saying the same things. Who knows what "angels of God" means? Perhaps it means clouds. Perhaps it means the stars. Perhaps it means actual angels from heaven.

Sorry, but you may as well take a Harry Potter novel and say the wizards were aliens and that JK Rowkling backs up what the Sumerans wrote about. I mean no disrespect to you or your views, but MY view is that this isn't academic study of ancient texts, it's spurious comparison of unrelated nonsense.
