00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,811
[tense orchestral music]
2
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,162
- [Narrator] They are the
most mysterious of beings,
3
00:01:33,231 --> 00:01:37,545
gods, angels, aliens,
or ordinary men
4
00:01:37,614 --> 00:01:39,685
with incredible
knowledge or wisdom.
5
00:01:40,514 --> 00:01:41,515
Nobody's sure.
6
00:01:46,589 --> 00:01:50,834
The culture of Mesopotamia
is rich and complex.
7
00:01:50,903 --> 00:01:54,114
Historians have been slowly
unraveling their secrets.
8
00:02:00,534 --> 00:02:02,191
From the epic of Gilgamesh
9
00:02:02,260 --> 00:02:05,539
to the many references of
them in other cultures,
10
00:02:05,608 --> 00:02:09,508
the mystery of the Anunnaki
is becoming more clear.
11
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,965
To western eyes, their
ways are strange.
12
00:02:18,034 --> 00:02:21,589
Over hundreds of years they
have been called gods and angels
13
00:02:21,658 --> 00:02:24,144
and now in our modern
age, many see them as
14
00:02:24,213 --> 00:02:27,906
aliens visiting earth and
bringing great knowledge.
15
00:02:33,739 --> 00:02:36,915
The truth of their
real origin and purpose
16
00:02:36,984 --> 00:02:39,642
is much more bizarre and amazing
17
00:02:39,711 --> 00:02:41,816
than anything
previously believed.
18
00:02:47,477 --> 00:02:50,377
Prepare to witness
the demystification
19
00:02:50,446 --> 00:02:52,586
of a sacred and ancient past.
20
00:02:54,553 --> 00:02:58,316
Prepare to see the Anunnaki
as they really were,
21
00:02:58,385 --> 00:03:01,146
and in so doing, we
will discover the truth
22
00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:03,562
about so many other things,
23
00:03:03,631 --> 00:03:06,807
from the Garden of Eden
to the great flood,
24
00:03:06,876 --> 00:03:10,569
from the god of the bible
to the secrets of Inuk,
25
00:03:10,638 --> 00:03:12,019
all shall be revealed.
26
00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:22,857
In truth, the Anunnaki
are a group of ancient
27
00:03:22,926 --> 00:03:25,584
Mesopotamian deities.
28
00:03:25,653 --> 00:03:28,484
They are to be found
in Sumerian, Akkadian,
29
00:03:28,553 --> 00:03:31,245
Babylonian, and
Assyrian cultures.
30
00:03:35,663 --> 00:03:39,391
Their exact numbers,
descriptions, and roles
31
00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:41,186
all contradict each other.
32
00:03:44,569 --> 00:03:47,330
According to the
earliest Sumerian texts,
33
00:03:47,399 --> 00:03:50,713
the Anunnaki were the
most powerful of gods
34
00:03:50,782 --> 00:03:54,406
in a rich pantheon and
were descended from An,
35
00:03:54,475 --> 00:03:56,028
the greatest of the gods.
36
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,176
Later, they became
the seven judges
37
00:04:06,246 --> 00:04:09,732
who sit upon the throne
in the underworld.
38
00:04:13,011 --> 00:04:15,013
They remain this
way for some time,
39
00:04:15,082 --> 00:04:17,567
even in the epic of Gilgamesh.
40
00:04:18,741 --> 00:04:21,226
According to old
Babylonian texts,
41
00:04:21,295 --> 00:04:24,194
they were gods of the
underworld, not of heaven.
42
00:04:27,474 --> 00:04:31,685
The name simply means
offspring of Anu or An,
43
00:04:31,754 --> 00:04:34,135
the sky lord and king.
44
00:04:37,932 --> 00:04:40,141
The most prominent and
probably well-known
45
00:04:40,210 --> 00:04:42,282
of the Anunnaki was Enlil,
46
00:04:42,351 --> 00:04:45,319
who cleaved heaven
and earth in two.
47
00:04:50,048 --> 00:04:52,464
Anu decided to take the heavens,
48
00:04:52,533 --> 00:04:55,053
and left the earth
to Enlil and Ki.
49
00:04:56,226 --> 00:04:58,539
Ki is most likely
the Sumerian version
50
00:04:58,608 --> 00:05:00,161
of the mother goddess
51
00:05:00,230 --> 00:05:02,440
seen in cultures
across the globe.
52
00:05:12,173 --> 00:05:16,316
The physical evidence of worship
of the Anunnaki is scarce.
53
00:05:17,455 --> 00:05:20,492
Most of what we know
comes to us from texts.
54
00:05:20,561 --> 00:05:22,667
It appears that
each of the Anunnaki
55
00:05:22,736 --> 00:05:26,395
were worshiped separately
in individual cults.
56
00:05:26,464 --> 00:05:28,673
And because of this, no evidence
57
00:05:28,742 --> 00:05:31,331
of them as a group
has been found,
58
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,885
no image of them all together.
59
00:05:35,576 --> 00:05:39,097
As such, the practices of
worship of the Anunnaki
60
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:40,512
is thin on the ground.
61
00:05:46,449 --> 00:05:49,210
The first mention of
them is to be found
62
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,317
in the reign of Gudir, of
the third dynasty of Ur.
63
00:05:53,732 --> 00:05:57,184
It is a term used to denote
the most important deities
64
00:05:57,253 --> 00:06:00,601
of the Sumerian pantheon,
the descendants of An.
65
00:06:05,779 --> 00:06:08,575
Exactly which deities
were members of the group
66
00:06:08,644 --> 00:06:11,888
referred to as the Anunnaki
is difficult to know.
67
00:06:14,684 --> 00:06:18,101
There is no complete list
of them that survives.
68
00:06:22,209 --> 00:06:25,730
One of the texts
mentions 50 or so members
69
00:06:25,799 --> 00:06:29,630
of them associated with
the ancient city of Eridu.
70
00:06:29,699 --> 00:06:32,461
And yet, when we read
of the descent of Inanna
71
00:06:32,530 --> 00:06:36,016
into the underworld,
there are only seven.
72
00:06:36,085 --> 00:06:38,846
They are judges who
condemn her to death.
73
00:06:49,754 --> 00:06:52,929
There is a group of
deities known as the Igigi
74
00:06:52,998 --> 00:06:55,449
and they are sometimes
confused with the Anunnaki.
75
00:06:56,899 --> 00:07:00,558
However, in the poem of Ira,
both groups are different.
76
00:07:02,007 --> 00:07:06,391
In one flood myth, the Igigi
are sixth generation gods
77
00:07:06,460 --> 00:07:08,531
who perform labors
for the Anunnaki.
78
00:07:10,015 --> 00:07:13,950
However, after 40 days, they
revolt against their masters
79
00:07:14,019 --> 00:07:18,196
and so Enki, one of
the Anunnaki, replaces
them with humans.
80
00:07:20,578 --> 00:07:23,063
[tense music]
81
00:07:27,516 --> 00:07:29,414
The similarities with
the biblical flood
82
00:07:29,483 --> 00:07:32,728
in Numbers are quite remarkable.
83
00:07:32,797 --> 00:07:35,593
It is obvious that
Mesopotamian myths
84
00:07:35,662 --> 00:07:38,527
heavily influenced
or were the origin
85
00:07:38,596 --> 00:07:40,943
of much of the
biblical Old Testament.
86
00:07:51,540 --> 00:07:55,613
In the Babylonian creation
text known as the Enuma Elish,
87
00:07:55,682 --> 00:07:59,858
the god Marduk divides the
Anunnaki and gives them roles.
88
00:08:09,454 --> 00:08:12,802
300 in heaven and 300 on earth.
89
00:08:13,976 --> 00:08:16,841
As a thank you, the
Anunnaki built Esagila
90
00:08:16,910 --> 00:08:21,017
as an abode for
Marduk, Enlil, and Ea.
91
00:08:22,536 --> 00:08:25,505
When they had finished, they
built themselves shrines.
92
00:08:36,654 --> 00:08:41,072
In later Assyrian texts, they
were offspring of Anu and Ki
93
00:08:41,141 --> 00:08:42,867
who were brother and sister,
94
00:08:42,936 --> 00:08:46,629
and themselves children of the
gods of the celestial poles
95
00:08:46,698 --> 00:08:50,012
and whose heritage stretched
back to the original gods,
96
00:08:50,081 --> 00:08:51,254
Tiamat and Abzu.
97
00:08:52,877 --> 00:08:55,880
[tense string music]
98
00:09:06,511 --> 00:09:10,308
Here we begin to see clues
to the use of these deities
99
00:09:10,377 --> 00:09:13,414
as names for the
bodies in the sky,
100
00:09:13,483 --> 00:09:15,727
the stars that shine above.
101
00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:33,020
This then, is the
brief knowledge we
have of the Anunnaki.
102
00:09:33,918 --> 00:09:35,747
Now we must delve deeper,
103
00:09:35,816 --> 00:09:38,854
and to do so, we must
enter their world.
104
00:09:52,143 --> 00:09:53,765
Appearing out of nowhere
105
00:09:53,834 --> 00:09:57,355
and at least as early as
the fifth millennium BC,
106
00:09:57,424 --> 00:10:01,670
the earliest known civilization,
the Sumerians of Sumer
107
00:10:01,739 --> 00:10:05,881
in Mesopotamia was initially
a non-Semitic culture.
108
00:10:07,227 --> 00:10:10,851
By 3000 BC, and as a
result of its sophisticated
109
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,097
irrigated agriculture,
Sumer flourished as a nation
110
00:10:16,236 --> 00:10:18,479
and developed a
considerable power base
111
00:10:18,548 --> 00:10:21,690
through the development of
its numerous city-states
112
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:25,901
like Ur, Uruk, Eridu,
Lagash, and Kish.
113
00:10:40,674 --> 00:10:44,402
It is said that the Sumerians
invented cuneiform writing
114
00:10:44,471 --> 00:10:46,818
and were way ahead
of their time,
115
00:10:46,887 --> 00:10:50,235
having advanced knowledge
in music, poetry,
116
00:10:50,304 --> 00:10:54,274
art, mathematics,
astronomy, and science.
117
00:10:54,343 --> 00:10:57,380
[tense string music]
118
00:11:07,218 --> 00:11:09,979
For the ancient Sumerians,
music was a tool
119
00:11:10,048 --> 00:11:12,257
that helped them
describe the cosmos.
120
00:11:16,917 --> 00:11:18,747
The Sumerians were
later conquered
121
00:11:18,816 --> 00:11:22,958
by their long-term rivals,
the Akkadians and Sargon I.
122
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:30,103
The Akkadians were
a Semitic people
123
00:11:30,172 --> 00:11:32,657
whose city Akkad
was their capital.
124
00:11:38,249 --> 00:11:42,425
After 2000 BC, Sumeria
Akkad declined as a nation
125
00:11:43,841 --> 00:11:46,636
and was later absorbed
by the expanding empires
126
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,777
of Babylonia and Assyria.
127
00:11:58,096 --> 00:11:59,926
In Sumerian creation myth,
128
00:11:59,995 --> 00:12:03,067
the angels known as the Anunaj,
129
00:12:03,136 --> 00:12:06,311
Anunnaki, or Great Sons of Anu
130
00:12:06,380 --> 00:12:08,141
were the founders
of their culture.
131
00:12:18,151 --> 00:12:22,327
The names angel, Anunaj, and
Anukim have much in common.
132
00:12:24,226 --> 00:12:26,815
They are indicative of
the ancient ancestors
133
00:12:26,884 --> 00:12:30,922
who brought the secrets
to the rest of the world.
134
00:12:42,658 --> 00:12:46,075
Interestingly, Anunnaki
is phonetically similar
135
00:12:46,144 --> 00:12:49,699
to the Hebrew Anakim,
the giant race
136
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:52,081
who appear in the story later
137
00:12:52,150 --> 00:12:56,258
and also anger Kok, the shaman
from Greenland to Alaska.
138
00:12:57,466 --> 00:13:00,020
They were known as
the shining ones.
139
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,898
The earliest accounts
of the shining ones
140
00:13:15,967 --> 00:13:18,970
can be found in four
principal sources.
141
00:13:19,039 --> 00:13:23,319
Firstly, in the Sumerian tablet
from the library of Nikol
142
00:13:23,388 --> 00:13:26,598
where they are named the Anunaj.
143
00:13:26,667 --> 00:13:29,084
Secondly, in the book of Inok,
144
00:13:29,153 --> 00:13:31,914
where they are
referred to as angels,
145
00:13:31,983 --> 00:13:34,710
watchers, or nephilim.
146
00:13:34,779 --> 00:13:37,575
Thirdly, the in the
book of Jubilees,
147
00:13:37,644 --> 00:13:41,510
and fourthly, in the
biblical book of Genesis,
148
00:13:41,579 --> 00:13:43,684
where they are given
the name Elohim.
149
00:13:57,664 --> 00:14:02,186
The Sumerian El is
usually translated as god,
150
00:14:02,255 --> 00:14:06,086
but the feminine Elohim
is the plural of El.
151
00:14:07,294 --> 00:14:11,091
In Genesis, the phrase
A-Elohim is also used,
152
00:14:12,334 --> 00:14:14,784
meaning the Elohim.
153
00:14:26,589 --> 00:14:29,730
El means brightness and shining.
154
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:31,905
Indeed, the Semitic word El
155
00:14:31,974 --> 00:14:34,666
is found in many
ancient languages.
156
00:14:34,735 --> 00:14:38,878
For instance, the Anglo-Saxon
Aelf means shining being,
157
00:14:40,017 --> 00:14:43,399
so El needs to be
translated not as god,
158
00:14:43,468 --> 00:14:48,370
but as the shining one,
and A-Elohim, being plural,
159
00:14:48,439 --> 00:14:51,235
should read the shining ones.
160
00:14:51,304 --> 00:14:54,376
[tense string music]
161
00:15:08,942 --> 00:15:11,876
We find that this is the
most commonly-used term
162
00:15:11,945 --> 00:15:16,639
in the Old Testament for God,
and indeed, all other gods,
163
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:20,885
as the scribes even recognized
other gods at that time.
164
00:15:29,066 --> 00:15:32,379
The name Sumer
comes from Shumer,
165
00:15:32,448 --> 00:15:35,969
and means literally the
land of the watchers.
166
00:15:36,038 --> 00:15:40,525
It is none other than the
ancient biblical land of Shinar,
167
00:15:40,594 --> 00:15:44,322
which amazingly means the
place of the shining ones.
168
00:15:51,191 --> 00:15:53,297
The shining ones
are in the bible,
169
00:15:53,366 --> 00:15:56,438
and have been there ever since
they wrote themselves in.
170
00:16:07,414 --> 00:16:12,109
Elohim is usually translated
incorrectly as lord,
171
00:16:12,178 --> 00:16:15,595
and if you read the
bible and replace lord,
172
00:16:15,664 --> 00:16:18,391
and don't forget
about the added words,
173
00:16:18,460 --> 00:16:22,878
with shining ones, you will
see a remarkable difference,
174
00:16:22,947 --> 00:16:26,675
a reading now of how
it was meant to be.
175
00:16:26,744 --> 00:16:29,505
We now have the shining
light of knowledge
176
00:16:29,574 --> 00:16:33,302
spoken of in 2 Corinthians 4:6.
177
00:16:33,371 --> 00:16:36,547
The lord God of the
bible is the light
178
00:16:36,616 --> 00:16:40,792
who gives birth to the
divine spark of Christ.
179
00:16:40,861 --> 00:16:43,416
A pure reading of the
global understanding
180
00:16:43,485 --> 00:16:48,248
that god was the basis for
illumination, the fire,
181
00:16:48,317 --> 00:16:52,218
the sun, the light,
and heads of those
182
00:16:52,287 --> 00:16:54,944
that shine from that brilliance,
183
00:16:55,014 --> 00:16:57,326
the source of
intelligence itself.
184
00:17:08,441 --> 00:17:11,340
Anu or An was the
chief sky sun god
185
00:17:13,411 --> 00:17:14,930
and means shining.
186
00:17:19,486 --> 00:17:23,766
The Anunaj therefore means
sons of the shining one,
187
00:17:23,835 --> 00:17:25,596
or sons of light.
188
00:17:31,395 --> 00:17:35,088
In Ireland, the term
for shining was aine.
189
00:17:36,503 --> 00:17:39,748
There may be a connection here
with the Tuatha De Danaan,
190
00:17:39,817 --> 00:17:41,853
the shining ones of Ireland,
191
00:17:41,922 --> 00:17:43,890
and the serpent cult
that Saint Patrick
192
00:17:43,959 --> 00:17:45,857
had removed from
the Emerald Isle.
193
00:17:56,075 --> 00:18:00,217
Also there is an
unusual semi-nomadic
bear worshiping tribe
194
00:18:01,218 --> 00:18:04,359
in Japan known as the Ainu.
195
00:18:04,428 --> 00:18:07,638
The Ainu look Caucasian,
with round heads,
196
00:18:07,707 --> 00:18:11,883
white skin, wavy thick
hair, and gray or blue eyes.
197
00:18:13,230 --> 00:18:15,611
The Ainu are said
to have been living
198
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,545
in many of Japan's
islands like Okinawa
199
00:18:18,614 --> 00:18:22,273
for over 7,000 years,
and it is said that
200
00:18:22,342 --> 00:18:26,519
the Ainu share a language
similarity with the Basque,
201
00:18:26,588 --> 00:18:28,348
who live in the Pyrenees,
202
00:18:28,417 --> 00:18:31,903
the mountains bordering
Spain and France.
203
00:18:31,972 --> 00:18:35,114
[upbeat string music]
204
00:18:45,089 --> 00:18:49,818
Also interesting is the fact
that in these Ainu regions,
205
00:18:49,887 --> 00:18:52,855
a number of stone
circles have been found
206
00:18:52,924 --> 00:18:55,962
with a slender upright
stone in the center,
207
00:18:56,031 --> 00:19:00,173
similar to those found in the
British Isles and elsewhere.
208
00:19:13,393 --> 00:19:16,258
These Anunnaki or shining ones
209
00:19:16,327 --> 00:19:19,848
were a culturally and
technically advanced people
210
00:19:19,917 --> 00:19:22,230
who settled in a mountain valley
211
00:19:22,299 --> 00:19:25,647
in the Middle East
around 8200 BC
212
00:19:26,648 --> 00:19:29,513
and as their primary concern,
213
00:19:29,582 --> 00:19:32,964
established an agricultural
center we now know
214
00:19:33,033 --> 00:19:35,933
as the Garden of
Eden for the teaching
215
00:19:36,002 --> 00:19:37,969
and training of the
local tribesmen.
216
00:19:52,812 --> 00:19:55,470
They were described as
the shining countenance
217
00:19:55,539 --> 00:19:59,646
to lords of cultivation,
elevated to gods.
218
00:20:05,342 --> 00:20:08,414
Anu and his wife,
Antu had two sons.
219
00:20:08,483 --> 00:20:12,659
Enlil the storm god, ruled
the air and atmosphere,
220
00:20:13,695 --> 00:20:15,455
and Enki, the water.
221
00:20:22,497 --> 00:20:26,294
Enki is also the wise
teacher known as Ir
222
00:20:26,363 --> 00:20:31,195
or Oannes, who led the fish
beings that came from the sea,
223
00:20:31,264 --> 00:20:33,749
or indeed from a cross the sea.
224
00:20:44,139 --> 00:20:48,039
Enki was depicted as a
goat with a fish's tail.
225
00:20:48,108 --> 00:20:50,387
It became the sign of Capricorn.
226
00:21:02,019 --> 00:21:06,437
Enki or Ir's consort
was Nimke or Damkina
227
00:21:06,506 --> 00:21:10,648
and their children
were Marduk and Nyach.
228
00:21:10,717 --> 00:21:14,065
Enlil, also known as Bel or Bal
229
00:21:14,134 --> 00:21:16,758
and whose patron
city with Nippur,
230
00:21:16,827 --> 00:21:18,932
later ruled in Anu's name.
231
00:21:22,488 --> 00:21:25,801
Nimil or Ninhursag
ruled the Earth.
232
00:21:29,771 --> 00:21:32,083
The early Sumerians
described themselves
233
00:21:32,152 --> 00:21:35,742
as constantly nourished
by the milk of Ninhursag,
234
00:21:35,811 --> 00:21:37,917
the great mother moon goddess.
235
00:21:41,714 --> 00:21:45,614
The Assyrians knew her as
Atargatis, the mermaid.
236
00:21:58,627 --> 00:22:03,356
The sun of Enlil and Ninmah
was the war god Ninurta,
237
00:22:03,425 --> 00:22:05,151
also known as Nimrod.
238
00:22:06,290 --> 00:22:09,328
And like Horus and as Osiris,
239
00:22:09,397 --> 00:22:12,952
he became associated with the
star constellation of Orion.
240
00:22:24,998 --> 00:22:28,657
We also have Nana, who
was the moon goddess,
241
00:22:28,726 --> 00:22:32,903
and Utu, the sun god, also
known as Ogmash and Shamash.
242
00:22:34,422 --> 00:22:38,564
It was Shamash who later gave
the 29 laws to King Hammurabi.
243
00:22:55,201 --> 00:22:58,100
There is also Inanna or Ishtar
244
00:22:58,169 --> 00:23:00,793
who was associated with Venus,
245
00:23:00,862 --> 00:23:02,657
as symbolized by the pentacle.
246
00:23:09,353 --> 00:23:13,357
The texts that we have on
the Sumerian deities vary.
247
00:23:13,426 --> 00:23:16,015
In fact, they evolve over time,
248
00:23:16,084 --> 00:23:20,502
losing some of their historicity
as the story develops,
249
00:23:20,571 --> 00:23:23,609
making it more and more
difficult to see the origins.
250
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:42,006
Trying to bring
clarity to the tales
251
00:23:42,075 --> 00:23:45,320
of Sumerian and
Mesopotamian deities is like
252
00:23:45,389 --> 00:23:48,496
trying to learn
Mandarin backwards.
253
00:23:48,565 --> 00:23:51,430
However, due to the
names we are given,
254
00:23:51,499 --> 00:23:53,639
such as Enki, for instance,
255
00:23:53,708 --> 00:23:56,814
who is identified with
Ir and and Oannes,
256
00:23:56,883 --> 00:23:59,886
we are being led to
cross-reference the Anunaj
257
00:23:59,955 --> 00:24:03,234
with the fish beings who
seem to have come ashore
258
00:24:03,303 --> 00:24:07,584
in Sumeria from the Red
Sea and the Persian Gulf,
259
00:24:07,653 --> 00:24:11,415
and at a time which is
now lost in antiquity.
260
00:24:28,294 --> 00:24:31,573
Indeed, we find that
both are the same people
261
00:24:31,642 --> 00:24:35,819
and that the fish beings are
also the Anunnaki shining ones,
262
00:24:37,027 --> 00:24:40,202
the gods of Sumeria, and
the Elohim of the bible.
263
00:24:48,107 --> 00:24:51,006
And when we then cross-reference
these fish beings
264
00:24:51,075 --> 00:24:54,838
with the Nita gods and
the Shemsu-hor, or Aku,
265
00:24:56,046 --> 00:24:59,118
and whom it is said
appeared in Egypt
266
00:24:59,187 --> 00:25:01,223
from a submerged island,
267
00:25:01,292 --> 00:25:05,193
we also have to include the
origins of the Hindu Naga,
268
00:25:05,262 --> 00:25:09,024
serpent deities who also
came from a lost island.
269
00:25:28,043 --> 00:25:30,977
It can easily be concluded
that the shining ones
270
00:25:31,046 --> 00:25:34,602
of Sumeria, Egypt,
and India were really
271
00:25:34,671 --> 00:25:38,537
incoming people from a
lost or destroyed land.
272
00:25:46,475 --> 00:25:51,135
These connections allow us
to piece together their story
273
00:25:51,204 --> 00:25:54,414
and see a little more of
the historical territory,
274
00:25:54,483 --> 00:25:58,626
much of which was been lost or
deliberately hidden from us.
275
00:26:17,886 --> 00:26:20,371
We can see then that
these shining ones,
276
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,684
who later became
worshiped as the Sumerian
277
00:26:22,753 --> 00:26:25,169
pantheon of gods and goddesses
278
00:26:25,238 --> 00:26:29,588
seem to have been a dynastic
ruling family or clan.
279
00:26:29,657 --> 00:26:32,211
Anu, the chief authority,
280
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,214
became the universal father god,
281
00:26:35,283 --> 00:26:38,389
as a pictograph from
his founded city of Uruk
282
00:26:38,458 --> 00:26:41,427
dated to 3000 BC depicts.
283
00:26:55,752 --> 00:26:58,720
The lineages of all
these deities are mixed,
284
00:26:58,789 --> 00:27:00,757
with sisters,
wives, and mothers,
285
00:27:00,826 --> 00:27:03,794
fathers, brothers,
and sons intermingling
286
00:27:03,863 --> 00:27:05,589
and confusing the whole thing.
287
00:27:12,700 --> 00:27:14,736
Considering the many
thousands of years
288
00:27:14,805 --> 00:27:17,359
between the composition
of these texts
289
00:27:17,428 --> 00:27:20,777
and the actual existence
of these peculiar peoples
290
00:27:20,846 --> 00:27:23,607
or beliefs, this is no surprise.
291
00:27:24,746 --> 00:27:27,715
What is clear is that
certain deities do
292
00:27:27,784 --> 00:27:30,649
continually stand
out from the crowd.
293
00:27:30,718 --> 00:27:33,824
Namely, Anu, Enlil, Enki,
294
00:27:33,893 --> 00:27:36,827
Ninhursag, Inanna,
and Utu Shamash.
295
00:27:38,277 --> 00:27:41,211
[mysterious music]
296
00:27:54,086 --> 00:27:57,468
And that the form and
structure of these deities
297
00:27:57,537 --> 00:28:01,576
would go on to spawn
Egyptian, Greek, and Roman
298
00:28:01,645 --> 00:28:04,752
pantheons for centuries,
if not thousands of years.
299
00:28:12,552 --> 00:28:15,245
No wonder, then,
that the watchers,
300
00:28:15,314 --> 00:28:17,765
the military arm of
the shining ones,
301
00:28:17,834 --> 00:28:20,595
should in later
myths be doing battle
302
00:28:20,664 --> 00:28:23,805
with the gods of
Greece, Egypt, and Rome,
303
00:28:23,874 --> 00:28:26,981
not to mention the
rest of the world.
304
00:28:36,542 --> 00:28:40,097
Just as the fallen insurgent
nephilim, or watchers,
305
00:28:40,166 --> 00:28:42,479
do battle with their
own ruling family
306
00:28:42,548 --> 00:28:44,688
of shining ones in the bible.
307
00:28:51,281 --> 00:28:54,318
One interesting detail
we should perhaps mention
308
00:28:54,387 --> 00:28:57,080
is that like Osiris
of ancient Egypt,
309
00:28:57,149 --> 00:29:00,566
Enlil was depicted as a bull,
310
00:29:00,635 --> 00:29:02,257
and like Set, his brother,
311
00:29:02,326 --> 00:29:06,503
Enki of the Abzu or abyss,
was depicted as a serpent.
312
00:29:08,263 --> 00:29:11,232
Interestingly, because
the people of Atlantis
313
00:29:11,301 --> 00:29:13,717
were supposed to have
worshiped the bull,
314
00:29:13,786 --> 00:29:15,995
which is a remarkable
coincidence,
315
00:29:16,064 --> 00:29:18,653
taking into the account that
the association with deities
316
00:29:18,722 --> 00:29:19,654
have with the biblical deluge.
317
00:29:36,119 --> 00:29:39,018
It is said that Enlil, who
took over as the leader
318
00:29:39,087 --> 00:29:43,022
of the shining ones lived
for thousands of years,
319
00:29:43,091 --> 00:29:46,267
but those who use this
to show that these
320
00:29:46,336 --> 00:29:49,615
shining ones were special beings
321
00:29:49,684 --> 00:29:52,480
that originally came
from another world,
322
00:29:52,549 --> 00:29:56,967
or even another dimension,
forget one thing,
323
00:29:57,036 --> 00:30:00,315
that Enlil was a term
used for the leader
324
00:30:00,384 --> 00:30:03,871
and was thus passed
on like the term
325
00:30:03,940 --> 00:30:06,356
king or Pharaoh is passed on.
326
00:30:11,499 --> 00:30:14,502
It was also the
title of the sun,
327
00:30:14,571 --> 00:30:17,988
which of course would
seem to be eternal.
328
00:30:35,005 --> 00:30:37,870
Part of the Sumerian
creation myth states
329
00:30:37,939 --> 00:30:41,080
at Karsak, where
heaven and earth met,
330
00:30:42,564 --> 00:30:47,086
the heavenly assembly, the
great sons of Anu, arrived,
331
00:30:47,155 --> 00:30:48,743
the many wise ones.
332
00:30:50,296 --> 00:30:52,678
The Anunnaki seem
to have arrived
333
00:30:52,747 --> 00:30:55,439
from another land
across the sea.
334
00:30:55,508 --> 00:30:57,407
They brought with
them special knowledge
335
00:30:57,476 --> 00:31:00,030
unknown to the
previous inhabitants.
336
00:31:07,003 --> 00:31:11,110
It is said mankind learned
from the shining ones,
337
00:31:11,179 --> 00:31:13,250
they set things in order.
338
00:31:29,266 --> 00:31:33,305
We could ask why they felt they
had to set things in order.
339
00:31:33,374 --> 00:31:35,928
Perhaps this order
has something to do
340
00:31:35,997 --> 00:31:39,552
with the chaotic aftermath
of a global calamity
341
00:31:39,621 --> 00:31:41,830
that had destroyed
their homeland,
342
00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:43,384
according to the accounts.
343
00:31:45,455 --> 00:31:49,631
A flood, for instance, appears
in myths across the world.
344
00:32:02,541 --> 00:32:05,682
In the famous
Sumerian kings list,
345
00:32:05,751 --> 00:32:09,030
we are told that the
Anunnaki ruled in Sumeria
346
00:32:09,099 --> 00:32:11,895
both before and
after the deluge,
347
00:32:13,310 --> 00:32:14,898
and that it was after the deluge
348
00:32:14,967 --> 00:32:17,038
that they then set
kings on the throne
349
00:32:17,107 --> 00:32:20,904
to govern the land and
rule in their stead.
350
00:32:20,973 --> 00:32:23,527
However, if we are to
believe the accounts
351
00:32:23,596 --> 00:32:25,702
given of the fish beings,
352
00:32:25,771 --> 00:32:28,498
we are also told that
these shining ones
353
00:32:28,567 --> 00:32:32,433
had first come ashore
from their submerged land
354
00:32:32,502 --> 00:32:34,814
after a similar catastrophe,
355
00:32:34,883 --> 00:32:37,576
an earlier one than
the deluge related
356
00:32:37,645 --> 00:32:40,234
in the bible and other sources.
357
00:32:54,110 --> 00:32:57,078
Could these great
global flood disasters
358
00:32:57,147 --> 00:33:00,564
in fact be bringing together
tales of a much earlier flood
359
00:33:00,633 --> 00:33:04,672
and so scientists are
searching for the wrong period?
360
00:33:04,741 --> 00:33:06,881
It's possible that
the shining ones knew
361
00:33:06,950 --> 00:33:10,574
when these catastrophic
events were going to happen
362
00:33:10,643 --> 00:33:12,887
and had predicted the deluge,
363
00:33:12,956 --> 00:33:16,891
hence, Noah being born
to prepare for the event.
364
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,032
[tense string music]
365
00:33:28,523 --> 00:33:31,388
This theory is supported
by the information
366
00:33:31,457 --> 00:33:33,425
encoded in various sources
367
00:33:33,494 --> 00:33:37,429
which lead us to the symbol
of the Ouroboros snake
368
00:33:37,498 --> 00:33:38,775
and its deeper meaning.
369
00:33:40,156 --> 00:33:44,056
It is as if again these
people had profound knowledge
370
00:33:44,125 --> 00:33:48,267
of cycles, and in
particular the 25,800 year
371
00:33:49,751 --> 00:33:52,409
processional cycle which
was believed to have begun
372
00:33:52,478 --> 00:33:56,310
with the tilting of the Earth
from its upright position.
373
00:34:12,015 --> 00:34:14,466
It would appear that it
was believed that these
374
00:34:14,535 --> 00:34:17,193
recurring catastrophes
were linked to
375
00:34:17,262 --> 00:34:20,713
the beginning and end point
of the processional cycle,
376
00:34:20,782 --> 00:34:23,475
linked to the very
event that caused
377
00:34:23,544 --> 00:34:25,891
the Earth to incline
in the first place.
378
00:34:31,207 --> 00:34:33,036
This does not necessarily prove
379
00:34:33,105 --> 00:34:35,694
that the Earth's axis
was once upright,
380
00:34:35,763 --> 00:34:38,766
however it does mean
that it was believed
381
00:34:38,835 --> 00:34:40,733
the axis was vertical,
382
00:34:40,802 --> 00:34:43,150
and thus revealing
an amazing knowledge
383
00:34:43,219 --> 00:34:45,773
of the heavens and
Earth's place in it.
384
00:34:51,951 --> 00:34:54,506
There is evidence that
the ecliptic center
385
00:34:54,575 --> 00:34:56,473
was the abode of the father god,
386
00:34:56,542 --> 00:34:59,511
as this was actually named Anu
387
00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:03,653
as well as the Eye of Ra
by the ancient Egyptians.
388
00:35:03,722 --> 00:35:06,897
[somber string music]
389
00:35:17,184 --> 00:35:20,808
Also, the ancient astronomers
of these shining ones
390
00:35:20,877 --> 00:35:24,018
must have believed that
the processional cycle
391
00:35:24,087 --> 00:35:26,710
was linked with the
Earth's own life cycle
392
00:35:26,779 --> 00:35:29,610
or reincarnation cycle,
393
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:32,613
and so the Earth being
upright would bring
394
00:35:32,682 --> 00:35:35,374
a more harmonious and
balanced existence.
395
00:35:36,410 --> 00:35:38,653
No more global catastrophes,
396
00:35:38,722 --> 00:35:41,656
and no birth, death,
rebirth cycle.
397
00:35:43,071 --> 00:35:46,178
In other words, the Earth,
like the spiritual man
398
00:35:46,247 --> 00:35:49,975
who seeks to come off and out
of the reincarnation cycle
399
00:35:50,044 --> 00:35:52,495
and all cycles, for that matter,
400
00:35:52,564 --> 00:35:55,912
would have been seen to
be in the perfect position
401
00:35:55,981 --> 00:35:59,087
and the perfect
spiritual condition.
402
00:36:12,411 --> 00:36:16,967
We also find that these
people are also termed Igigi,
403
00:36:17,036 --> 00:36:20,557
which was also the name of
the king after the flood.
404
00:36:20,626 --> 00:36:23,008
The Igigi in certain
texts seem to do the work
405
00:36:23,077 --> 00:36:26,632
of the Anunnaki, whereas
in others the are equal
406
00:36:26,701 --> 00:36:28,427
and spoken of in
the same breath.
407
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,547
In the epic on Anzu,
the Igigi are superior
408
00:36:44,616 --> 00:36:48,792
in the sense that the Anunnaki
are of the Abzu or the deep.
409
00:36:50,484 --> 00:36:53,728
This, of course, must
remind us of the Hindu ideas
410
00:36:53,797 --> 00:36:57,284
of the Naga, serpent deities
who reside in the deep
411
00:36:57,353 --> 00:36:59,665
and are no less holy for it.
412
00:37:13,023 --> 00:37:17,235
In the Sumerian account,
Ninlil or Ninkarsak,
413
00:37:17,304 --> 00:37:21,204
lady of Karsak, the wife
of the leader Enlil,
414
00:37:21,273 --> 00:37:25,346
asked the council of seven
to create her an Eden.
415
00:37:39,947 --> 00:37:44,434
This is the very same Eden or
plateau as in the bible myth
416
00:37:44,503 --> 00:37:47,195
and the council of
seven is the same
417
00:37:47,265 --> 00:37:50,820
as the seven archangels
or messengers of the bible
418
00:37:50,889 --> 00:37:54,996
who came down from heaven or
the mountain or cosmic sky.
419
00:38:01,762 --> 00:38:03,936
Sumerians referred to Edin
420
00:38:05,352 --> 00:38:07,285
as the abode of
the righteous ones.
421
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:20,436
The tree of life and
the tree of knowledge
422
00:38:20,505 --> 00:38:23,231
that stood in this
garden of Eden
423
00:38:23,301 --> 00:38:25,786
are the secrets of
the shining ones,
424
00:38:25,855 --> 00:38:29,168
secrets which will stay with
them for thousands of years
425
00:38:29,237 --> 00:38:31,757
to be told only to
the highest shaman,
426
00:38:31,826 --> 00:38:34,760
adept, priest,
avatar, or prophet.
427
00:38:46,841 --> 00:38:48,878
In their dream-like trances,
428
00:38:48,947 --> 00:38:51,881
the shaman saw and
experienced the tree
429
00:38:51,950 --> 00:38:54,124
which took them to heaven
430
00:38:54,193 --> 00:38:56,264
and which later became
the tree of life
431
00:38:56,334 --> 00:38:58,094
in the Hebrew Kabbalah system,
432
00:38:59,233 --> 00:39:02,754
and as if reflecting
the seven chakra levels
433
00:39:02,823 --> 00:39:06,551
of the human spinal column
and the processes involved
434
00:39:06,620 --> 00:39:10,071
with ones own access to
the knowledge within,
435
00:39:10,140 --> 00:39:13,040
the Sumerians built their
towers, or ziggurats,
436
00:39:13,109 --> 00:39:15,042
with seven levels
437
00:39:15,111 --> 00:39:17,527
as attempts to build
closer to heaven,
438
00:39:17,596 --> 00:39:19,426
to be like the mountains,
439
00:39:19,495 --> 00:39:23,913
and link them with Earth as in
the dream of Jacob's ladder.
440
00:39:23,982 --> 00:39:27,261
[hopeful string music]
441
00:39:39,791 --> 00:39:42,172
It is said that
these shining deities
442
00:39:42,241 --> 00:39:45,866
also lived at the top of
the ziggurat or pyramid,
443
00:39:45,935 --> 00:39:47,971
the great house.
444
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,803
We now know what the
ladder and these temples
445
00:39:51,872 --> 00:39:54,288
really stand for symbolically,
446
00:39:54,357 --> 00:39:57,395
but was Jacob's ladder
a similar construction
447
00:39:57,464 --> 00:39:59,155
somewhere in the near East?
448
00:40:07,543 --> 00:40:10,649
Jacob was, in fact, the
father of the 12 tribes
449
00:40:10,718 --> 00:40:13,894
and as such, the
father of the zodiac.
450
00:40:30,462 --> 00:40:34,501
Reuben, Jacob's first
son, was Aquarius,
451
00:40:34,570 --> 00:40:38,401
hence the reason he
was unstable as water.
452
00:40:39,851 --> 00:40:43,924
Simeon and Levi were the
brothers and hence Gemini.
453
00:40:43,993 --> 00:40:48,169
Judah was the lion, and
Zebulun is Libra, the ship.
454
00:40:49,654 --> 00:40:53,589
Gad is Pisces, in that it
is a reversal of the fish
455
00:40:54,693 --> 00:40:58,007
serpent god Dak,
associated with Dagon,
456
00:40:58,076 --> 00:40:59,767
Oannes, Ea, and Henki.
457
00:41:01,182 --> 00:41:05,048
Dan was of the tribe of
serpents, an adder in the path
458
00:41:05,117 --> 00:41:09,467
who falleth backward
into the winter solstice,
459
00:41:09,536 --> 00:41:11,848
which means he is Capricorn.
460
00:41:13,263 --> 00:41:15,645
This is the same as
the later Daniel,
461
00:41:16,853 --> 00:41:19,718
again the shining
serpent Capricorn
462
00:41:19,787 --> 00:41:21,099
who traverses the heavens.
463
00:41:36,804 --> 00:41:40,256
We can now see that most
of these myths and stories
464
00:41:40,325 --> 00:41:44,778
are mere transiterations of
astrotheological ideologies
465
00:41:44,847 --> 00:41:47,090
associated with the zodiac
466
00:41:47,159 --> 00:41:49,921
and also the processional cycle,
467
00:41:49,990 --> 00:41:52,440
which can be used
as means to find
468
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:54,650
relevant periods in history.
469
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,791
[tense string music]
470
00:42:10,010 --> 00:42:13,116
Processional cycle
is intimately tied in
471
00:42:13,185 --> 00:42:15,084
with our own life cycle,
472
00:42:15,153 --> 00:42:18,363
and so we find that
many of these epithets
473
00:42:18,432 --> 00:42:20,676
given to individuals in history
474
00:42:20,745 --> 00:42:22,816
who may or may not have existed
475
00:42:22,885 --> 00:42:25,059
are really part of a code.
476
00:42:26,474 --> 00:42:29,754
This shows that the later
leaders and their priesthoods
477
00:42:29,823 --> 00:42:31,963
who were spiritual and god-like
478
00:42:32,032 --> 00:42:34,621
and also knowledgeable
in astronomy,
479
00:42:34,690 --> 00:42:37,209
were related to the
shining ones sect
480
00:42:37,278 --> 00:42:40,247
and even received their
knowledge and authority
481
00:42:40,316 --> 00:42:42,180
from the shining ones.
482
00:42:42,249 --> 00:42:43,906
They associated the shining ones
483
00:42:43,975 --> 00:42:47,081
with the solar and celestial
bodies which they studied.
484
00:42:48,048 --> 00:42:51,120
[tense string music]
485
00:43:03,166 --> 00:43:06,238
The seven shining
ones or seven sages
486
00:43:06,307 --> 00:43:09,932
of different cultures
later became the gods
487
00:43:10,001 --> 00:43:12,175
in men, incarnated as man,
488
00:43:13,694 --> 00:43:18,147
only then to be reunited with
a father god after death.
489
00:43:18,216 --> 00:43:20,839
This is basically
the Christian myth.
490
00:43:20,908 --> 00:43:23,980
It is the celestial
bodies being written down
491
00:43:24,049 --> 00:43:27,605
in human form, a
pantheon of seven
492
00:43:27,674 --> 00:43:30,642
and corresponding with the
seven planets in the heavens.
493
00:43:46,693 --> 00:43:49,799
The phrase "where
heaven and Earth met"
494
00:43:49,868 --> 00:43:52,181
is symbolic of the
sacred mountains,
495
00:43:52,250 --> 00:43:55,805
and this gives us the clue
that this could be somewhere
496
00:43:55,874 --> 00:44:00,120
with impressive heaven-like
mountains, such as Tibet,
497
00:44:00,189 --> 00:44:03,882
perhaps even the
ziggurats of Mesopotamia,
498
00:44:03,951 --> 00:44:05,712
or even the pyramids of Giza,
499
00:44:08,128 --> 00:44:11,200
seeing as these temple
constructions are based
500
00:44:11,269 --> 00:44:13,202
on the shamanic world mountain.
501
00:44:29,218 --> 00:44:31,738
We can see, then, that
many of the details
502
00:44:31,807 --> 00:44:35,155
included in the stories
related to the activities
503
00:44:35,224 --> 00:44:37,985
of these shining
ones are really based
504
00:44:38,054 --> 00:44:40,367
on these astrotheological
movements
505
00:44:40,436 --> 00:44:43,439
which they understood
to a great degree
506
00:44:43,508 --> 00:44:46,442
and have been encoded in
these myths and stories
507
00:44:46,511 --> 00:44:48,616
as a means to preserve
this knowledge
508
00:44:48,686 --> 00:44:50,929
and also convey this process
509
00:44:50,998 --> 00:44:52,690
to those who could
understand it.
510
00:44:53,552 --> 00:44:56,555
[tense string music]
511
00:45:11,122 --> 00:45:13,400
They added encoded information
512
00:45:13,469 --> 00:45:16,334
which also makes these
stories somewhat confusing.
513
00:45:17,438 --> 00:45:20,062
The story of the
Anunnaki is therefore
514
00:45:20,131 --> 00:45:23,444
not one just in the
region of Mesopotamia,
515
00:45:23,513 --> 00:45:25,584
it is in fact a universal system
516
00:45:25,653 --> 00:45:29,416
observed in the sky, and
this is why similarities
517
00:45:29,485 --> 00:45:32,522
can be found across the
world in ancient cultures.
518
00:45:48,987 --> 00:45:51,507
The biblical flood
myth matches that found
519
00:45:51,576 --> 00:45:53,854
in Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh,
520
00:45:53,923 --> 00:45:56,823
and ends with the Tower
of Babel in Babylon,
521
00:45:56,892 --> 00:45:58,997
which was part of
the Sumerian empire.
522
00:46:00,136 --> 00:46:02,069
This shows that the
secret knowledge
523
00:46:02,138 --> 00:46:04,382
associated with the shining ones
524
00:46:04,451 --> 00:46:07,765
ended up at that
time in Babylon,
525
00:46:07,834 --> 00:46:10,215
and then moved on from there.
526
00:46:24,816 --> 00:46:26,576
In the search for
the shining ones,
527
00:46:26,645 --> 00:46:30,235
we have come across numerous
groups, cults, and religions.
528
00:46:30,304 --> 00:46:34,861
In ancient Sumeria, we find
the Egregore, or watchers,
529
00:46:34,930 --> 00:46:38,761
who are thought to be the angels
of the lord from the bible
530
00:46:38,830 --> 00:46:41,384
and again, the numerous
epithets given to them
531
00:46:41,453 --> 00:46:43,766
tells us they too
were the shining ones.
532
00:46:44,871 --> 00:46:47,597
Enoch wrote about them,
in fact, for them,
533
00:46:47,666 --> 00:46:50,773
in the book of Enoch,
which was later suppressed.
534
00:46:52,361 --> 00:46:55,813
[mysterious string music]
535
00:47:06,754 --> 00:47:09,274
In the bible and
the Book of Enoch,
536
00:47:09,343 --> 00:47:11,380
these shining ones
are called angels,
537
00:47:11,449 --> 00:47:13,796
archangels, or cherubim.
538
00:47:19,871 --> 00:47:23,012
Unless the literature
is purely apocryphal,
539
00:47:23,081 --> 00:47:24,842
we find that in the bible,
540
00:47:24,911 --> 00:47:28,052
the angel figures are
simply earthly men.
541
00:47:29,260 --> 00:47:32,711
In the bible, we do not
find angels with wings.
542
00:47:32,780 --> 00:47:36,854
There are no original stories
of them being supernatural.
543
00:47:36,923 --> 00:47:40,305
They are, in fact,
quite ordinary.
544
00:47:40,374 --> 00:47:43,515
It is always Gabriel,
meaning Man of God,
545
00:47:43,584 --> 00:47:47,588
who informs the people
of a coming child birth.
546
00:47:47,657 --> 00:47:49,556
Was he the shaman, the doctor?
547
00:47:50,522 --> 00:47:53,594
[tense string music]
548
00:48:06,918 --> 00:48:09,472
Michael is the
warrior and protector,
549
00:48:09,541 --> 00:48:12,406
accompanied by angels
wielding swords.
550
00:48:16,617 --> 00:48:20,621
Each and every one of them
has their own specific duty,
551
00:48:20,690 --> 00:48:22,071
an Earthly duty.
552
00:48:23,210 --> 00:48:25,764
People with titles,
angelic titles,
553
00:48:25,833 --> 00:48:28,975
as messengers and
ambassadors of God,
554
00:48:29,044 --> 00:48:31,287
just like the early shaman.
555
00:48:37,121 --> 00:48:40,296
The title cherubim means exiles,
556
00:48:40,365 --> 00:48:44,197
and could be an indication
of the origins of the angels.
557
00:48:44,266 --> 00:48:46,406
Maybe they were ordered
to leave somewhere
558
00:48:46,475 --> 00:48:49,443
for not conforming,
perhaps Eden,
559
00:48:49,512 --> 00:48:51,376
where they had previously
been the watchers
560
00:48:51,445 --> 00:48:53,240
or the guardians of the garden.
561
00:49:05,908 --> 00:49:10,050
In Genesis 4:16, the land of Nod
562
00:49:10,119 --> 00:49:12,915
is symbolic also of
the people of Israel,
563
00:49:12,984 --> 00:49:14,813
as Nod means wanderer.
564
00:49:16,091 --> 00:49:18,852
It is not much of an
extrapolation to assume
565
00:49:18,921 --> 00:49:21,337
that the priesthood
were also wanderers.
566
00:49:29,138 --> 00:49:31,761
Another example
of symbolic titles
567
00:49:31,830 --> 00:49:35,282
is that of Enoch, which
means consecrated.
568
00:49:35,351 --> 00:49:38,527
[somber string music]
569
00:49:50,332 --> 00:49:53,059
When Cain and his
wife bore Enoch
570
00:49:53,128 --> 00:49:55,337
and built a city called Enoch,
571
00:49:55,406 --> 00:49:59,168
we have the people of Cain
being consecrated before God.
572
00:50:00,583 --> 00:50:03,310
Enoch, the consecrated
one, would later write up
573
00:50:03,379 --> 00:50:06,141
the history of his
fallen wanderers
574
00:50:06,210 --> 00:50:10,007
who spread across the globe
as the great shining ones,
575
00:50:10,076 --> 00:50:12,871
teaching, measuring,
and building
576
00:50:12,940 --> 00:50:15,288
the world's most mysterious
ancient monuments.
577
00:50:30,475 --> 00:50:33,651
Of course, we must not
forget the seraphim
578
00:50:33,720 --> 00:50:37,103
of Numbers 21:6 and elsewhere.
579
00:50:37,172 --> 00:50:39,622
These are not mystical beings,
580
00:50:39,691 --> 00:50:42,349
they have hands, a face, legs,
581
00:50:42,418 --> 00:50:44,938
but they do have powers from God
582
00:50:45,007 --> 00:50:47,389
because they are in the light
583
00:50:47,458 --> 00:50:50,909
and have the symbolic
wings of the early shaman,
584
00:50:50,978 --> 00:50:52,635
the bird of flight,
585
00:50:52,704 --> 00:50:55,983
the dream time trance
ability to fly.
586
00:50:56,053 --> 00:50:59,090
[tense string music]
587
00:51:09,238 --> 00:51:13,415
The name means shining
ones or fiery serpents.
588
00:51:18,213 --> 00:51:21,354
They are enlightened beings
by the power of the serpent.
589
00:51:26,566 --> 00:51:30,639
Mystical Jewish literature tells
us that the angels can fly,
590
00:51:30,708 --> 00:51:34,229
tell the future, shape
shift, speak Hebrew,
591
00:51:34,298 --> 00:51:38,233
and are emanations of
the divine shining light.
592
00:51:49,278 --> 00:51:52,247
In the Old Testament,
God is indistinguishable
593
00:51:52,316 --> 00:51:56,458
from the angel or
messenger known as Yahweh.
594
00:51:56,527 --> 00:52:00,289
He looks the same and acts
as his representative.
595
00:52:00,358 --> 00:52:02,809
There is no difference
here from the Babylonian,
596
00:52:02,878 --> 00:52:05,881
Egyptian, and shamanic practice.
597
00:52:05,950 --> 00:52:09,126
[somber string music]
598
00:52:17,789 --> 00:52:20,896
In the New Testament, the
angels actually take part
599
00:52:20,965 --> 00:52:23,795
in the judgment
at the end times.
600
00:52:23,864 --> 00:52:26,350
Alternatively, they may be those
601
00:52:26,419 --> 00:52:31,286
who had experienced
enlightenment and
then fell from grace.
602
00:52:31,355 --> 00:52:34,427
[tense string music]
603
00:52:45,403 --> 00:52:48,095
We are told that the
nephilim or watchers
604
00:52:48,165 --> 00:52:51,823
began to mix with the
indigenous people.
605
00:52:51,892 --> 00:52:54,032
These were the angels
who seemed to have been
606
00:52:54,101 --> 00:52:56,276
the military arm of
the shining ones,
607
00:52:56,345 --> 00:53:00,522
and who were initially employed
to guard the garden of Eden.
608
00:53:16,469 --> 00:53:20,093
It came to pass when the
children of men had multiplied,
609
00:53:20,162 --> 00:53:22,371
but in those days
were born unto them
610
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,787
beautiful and comely daughters,
611
00:53:24,856 --> 00:53:27,583
and the angels, the
children of heaven,
612
00:53:27,652 --> 00:53:31,449
saw and lusted after them
and said to one another
613
00:53:31,518 --> 00:53:34,072
"come, let us choose as wives
614
00:53:34,141 --> 00:53:38,284
"from among the children of
men and beget us children."
615
00:53:38,353 --> 00:53:41,839
And Semjaza, who was their
leader, said unto them
616
00:53:41,908 --> 00:53:45,808
"I fear ye will not indeed
agree to do this deed
617
00:53:45,877 --> 00:53:50,641
"and I alone shall have to pay
the penalty of a great sin,"
618
00:53:50,710 --> 00:53:53,437
and they all
answered him and said
619
00:53:53,506 --> 00:53:55,370
"let us all swear an oath
620
00:53:55,439 --> 00:53:58,925
"and all bind ourselves
by mutual implications
621
00:53:58,994 --> 00:54:03,101
"not to abandon this plan,
but to do this thing."
622
00:54:04,102 --> 00:54:06,173
Then swear they all together
623
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:10,212
and bound themselves by
mutual implications upon it.
624
00:54:10,281 --> 00:54:13,353
[tense string music]
625
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,644
From this union, a
hybrid race was produced,
626
00:54:28,713 --> 00:54:31,268
a race of giants,
so we are told.
627
00:54:38,861 --> 00:54:40,898
And all the others
together with them
628
00:54:40,967 --> 00:54:44,833
took unto them wives and
each chose for himself one
629
00:54:44,902 --> 00:54:47,387
and they began to go into them
630
00:54:47,456 --> 00:54:49,700
and to defile
themselves with them,
631
00:54:49,769 --> 00:54:52,496
and they taught them
charms and enchantments
632
00:54:52,565 --> 00:54:54,083
and the cutting of roots
633
00:54:54,152 --> 00:54:56,534
and made them
acquainted with plants
634
00:54:56,603 --> 00:54:58,364
and they became pregnant
635
00:54:58,433 --> 00:55:02,747
and they bear great giants
whose height was 3,000 ells,
636
00:55:02,816 --> 00:55:05,371
who consumed all the
acquisitions of men
637
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,374
and when men could no
longer sustain them,
638
00:55:08,443 --> 00:55:12,032
the giants turned against
them and devoured mankind.
639
00:55:13,137 --> 00:55:15,208
They began to sin
against birds and beasts
640
00:55:15,277 --> 00:55:18,867
and reptiles and fish, and
to devour one another's flesh
641
00:55:18,936 --> 00:55:21,214
and drink the blood.
642
00:55:21,283 --> 00:55:23,320
And then the Earth
laid accusations
643
00:55:23,389 --> 00:55:25,563
against the lawless ones,
644
00:55:25,632 --> 00:55:29,291
and then Michael, Auriel,
Raphael, and Gabriel
645
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:31,949
looked down from heaven and saw
646
00:55:32,018 --> 00:55:34,676
much blood being
shed upon the earth
647
00:55:34,745 --> 00:55:37,886
and all lawlessness being
wrought upon the earth.
648
00:55:39,266 --> 00:55:42,408
[somber string music]
649
00:55:48,345 --> 00:55:51,727
These insurgents also
passed on knowledge
650
00:55:51,796 --> 00:55:55,628
and taught them combat
and how to make weapons.
651
00:56:00,011 --> 00:56:02,876
And Azazel taught
men to make swords
652
00:56:02,945 --> 00:56:06,190
and knives and shields
and breastplates,
653
00:56:06,259 --> 00:56:08,779
and made know to them
the metals of the earth
654
00:56:08,848 --> 00:56:10,643
and the art of working them,
655
00:56:10,712 --> 00:56:13,818
and bracelets and ornaments
and the use of antimony
656
00:56:13,887 --> 00:56:16,511
and the beautifying
of the eyelids
657
00:56:16,580 --> 00:56:21,032
and all kinds of costly stones
in all color and tinctures.
658
00:56:21,101 --> 00:56:23,414
And there arose much godlessness
659
00:56:23,483 --> 00:56:25,623
and they committed fornication
660
00:56:25,692 --> 00:56:27,314
and they were led astray
661
00:56:27,384 --> 00:56:30,214
and became corrupt
in all their ways.
662
00:56:30,283 --> 00:56:33,459
Samyaza taught enchantments
and root cuttings,
663
00:56:33,528 --> 00:56:36,876
armorers the resolving
of enchantments.
664
00:56:36,945 --> 00:56:39,396
Barachiel taught astrology,
665
00:56:39,465 --> 00:56:41,190
talked about the constellations,
666
00:56:41,259 --> 00:56:44,470
Ezakiel the knowledge
of the clouds,
667
00:56:44,539 --> 00:56:46,989
Arakiel the signs of the earth,
668
00:56:47,058 --> 00:56:49,613
Shamshiel the signs of the sun,
669
00:56:49,682 --> 00:56:52,270
and Sariel the
course of the moon.
670
00:56:52,339 --> 00:56:55,032
And as men perished, they cried,
671
00:56:55,101 --> 00:56:56,723
and their cry went up to heaven.
672
00:57:07,734 --> 00:57:10,047
And all this was
seen as a violation
673
00:57:10,116 --> 00:57:14,120
against a set of laws laid
down by the shining ones
674
00:57:14,189 --> 00:57:16,260
who were possessive
of their knowledge.
675
00:57:22,818 --> 00:57:25,649
Thou seest that
Azazel hath done,
676
00:57:25,718 --> 00:57:28,548
you hath taught all
unrighteousness on Earth
677
00:57:28,617 --> 00:57:30,930
and revealed the eternal secrets
678
00:57:30,999 --> 00:57:33,035
which were preserved in heaven
679
00:57:33,104 --> 00:57:35,452
which men were
striving to learn.
680
00:57:35,521 --> 00:57:38,696
And Samyaza to whom thou
hast given authority
681
00:57:38,765 --> 00:57:41,285
to bear rule over his associates
682
00:57:41,354 --> 00:57:44,046
and they have gone to the
daughters of men upon the Earth
683
00:57:44,115 --> 00:57:47,533
and have slept with the women
and have defiled themselves
684
00:57:47,602 --> 00:57:49,983
and revealed to them
all kinds of sins,
685
00:57:50,052 --> 00:57:52,986
and the women have born giants
686
00:57:53,055 --> 00:57:55,575
and the whole Earth
has thereby been filled
687
00:57:55,644 --> 00:57:57,474
with blood and unrighteousness.
688
00:57:58,785 --> 00:58:01,892
[tense string music]
689
00:58:10,694 --> 00:58:15,146
Enoch, the scribe who was
taught by the shining ones
690
00:58:15,215 --> 00:58:18,736
was then employed as a
messenger or intermediary
691

between the shining ones
and these fallen ones
692
00:58:22,326 --> 00:58:25,087
who had decided to
abandon their divinity,

00:58:25,156 --> 00:58:27,124
to live amongst
the tribes of man.
694
00:58:39,343 --> 00:58:42,104
Enoch was then sent
to tell the insurgents
695
00:58:42,173 --> 00:58:45,383
that a severe sentence
had been passed on them
696
00:58:45,452 --> 00:58:47,834
and that they were
soon to be punished.
697
00:58:47,903 --> 00:58:51,355
In brief, the punishment
sent is the flood.
698
00:58:52,252 --> 00:58:55,359
[somber string music]
699
00:59:04,368 --> 00:59:06,612
It is as if the
shining ones wanted to
700
00:59:06,681 --> 00:59:09,235
wash away the sins of the Earth
701
00:59:09,304 --> 00:59:13,170
that had been created by their
own kid, the fallen ones.
702
00:59:20,142 --> 00:59:22,697
In the bible, we
are told that God,
703
00:59:22,766 --> 00:59:25,354
or rather the gods
known as Elohim,
704
00:59:25,423 --> 00:59:28,323
spoke to Noah, telling
him that the seasons
705
00:59:28,392 --> 00:59:31,050
of summer and winter
would be more extreme
706
00:59:31,119 --> 00:59:32,810
from the time of
the flood onward.
707
00:59:42,786 --> 00:59:45,512
This both supports and
is supported in turn
708
00:59:45,582 --> 00:59:48,654
by the Book of Enoch,
which states how
709
00:59:48,723 --> 00:59:52,899
in those days, Noah saw
that the Earth had sunk down
710
00:59:52,968 --> 00:59:55,453
and that destruction was nigh,
711
00:59:55,522 --> 00:59:59,906
and he said "tell me, what is
transacting upon the Earth?
712
00:59:59,975 --> 01:00:03,979
"For the Earth labors and
is violently shaking."
713
01:00:16,509 --> 01:00:19,616
In the King James version
of the bible we find this,
714
01:00:19,685 --> 01:00:23,412
behold, the lord
maketh the Earth empty
715
01:00:23,481 --> 01:00:27,002
and maketh it waste and
turneth it upside down
716
01:00:27,071 --> 01:00:30,972
and scatterth abroad
the inhabitants thereof.
717
01:00:31,041 --> 01:00:35,045
The Earth shall reel to
and fro like a drunkard.
718
01:00:46,297 --> 01:00:48,955
In Psalm 68:8 it is written
719
01:00:49,024 --> 01:00:52,407
the Earth shook, the
heavens also dropped
720
01:00:52,476 --> 01:00:55,582
at the presence of God,
and even Sinai itself
721
01:00:55,652 --> 01:00:57,654
was moved at the
presence of God.
722
01:01:04,937 --> 01:01:07,525
The heavens dropping would mean
723
01:01:07,594 --> 01:01:10,425
that to the observers
in the Sinai region,
724
01:01:10,494 --> 01:01:12,979
the earth beneath
their feet was tipping
725
01:01:13,048 --> 01:01:15,672
relatively upward and northward.
726
01:01:15,741 --> 01:01:19,054
In his written book,
Timaeus and Critias,
727
01:01:19,123 --> 01:01:22,092
Plato describes an
awful catastrophe
728
01:01:22,161 --> 01:01:25,440
in which the Earth moved
forwards and backwards
729
01:01:25,509 --> 01:01:29,202
and again to right and left
and upwards and downwards,
730
01:01:29,271 --> 01:01:32,481
wandering every way
in all six directions.
731
01:01:34,104 --> 01:01:36,658
But as many scholars
and researchers have
now acknowledged,
732
01:01:36,727 --> 01:01:39,040
the god of the
bible and his angels
733
01:01:39,109 --> 01:01:42,112
are said to be the
Sumerian Anu and his sons
734
01:01:42,181 --> 01:01:45,840
and entourage, the
Anunnaki or shining ones
735
01:01:49,567 --> 01:01:52,605
who are reported to have
landed in Mesopotamia
736
01:01:52,674 --> 01:01:54,572
and there created
the Garden of Eden.
737
01:01:59,405 --> 01:02:01,648
And so we must now
draw our conclusion.
738
01:02:02,753 --> 01:02:04,341
When we first started
out in this task
739
01:02:04,410 --> 01:02:06,446
of discovering the Anunnaki,
740
01:02:06,515 --> 01:02:09,967
we found a complex and
mystifying series of tales
741
01:02:10,036 --> 01:02:11,797
that seemed to
make little sense.
742
01:02:17,872 --> 01:02:20,529
Slowly, we have pulled
apart the names,
743
01:02:20,598 --> 01:02:24,154
places, and myths to reveal
something very simple.
744
01:02:30,539 --> 01:02:32,783
Many thousands of years ago,
745
01:02:32,852 --> 01:02:35,406
something catastrophic occurred
746
01:02:35,475 --> 01:02:38,996
and a highly knowledgeable
and wise people fled.
747
01:02:46,452 --> 01:02:49,662
They eventually landed
somewhere in Mesopotamia
748
01:02:49,731 --> 01:02:52,078
where they came across
a less-developed people.
749
01:02:56,531 --> 01:02:59,845
Civilization emerged
as the new people
750
01:02:59,914 --> 01:03:02,640
taught their new
people how to build,
751
01:03:02,709 --> 01:03:06,852
mathematics, astronomy,
agriculture, and much more.
752
01:03:12,443 --> 01:03:15,722
Their wisdom was so great
that later generations
753
01:03:15,792 --> 01:03:17,759
would call them gods and angels.
754
01:03:24,386 --> 01:03:28,080
They had descended from
the shining heavenly host,
755
01:03:28,149 --> 01:03:31,773
but division set in as
the two cultures bred
756
01:03:31,842 --> 01:03:33,706
and made the blood
line less pure.
757
01:03:39,677 --> 01:03:42,094
The watchers, who had gone bad,
758
01:03:42,163 --> 01:03:44,682
and the shining ones,
who were not happy,
759
01:03:47,927 --> 01:03:50,792
in a simple tale that
has become very complex
760
01:03:50,861 --> 01:03:52,690
over vast periods of time.
761
01:03:55,693 --> 01:03:59,283
In our age, it is being
confused yet further
762
01:03:59,352 --> 01:04:02,114
by the addition of
extraterrestrial origins
763
01:04:02,183 --> 01:04:03,563
for the Anunnaki.
764
01:04:07,636 --> 01:04:10,432
There is, however, no
need for such imaginings.
765
01:04:11,606 --> 01:04:13,988
There is simply a need
to understand the time,
766
01:04:14,057 --> 01:04:17,681
culture, belief
systems, and mind
767
01:04:17,750 --> 01:04:19,821
of our very human ancestors.
768
01:04:23,583 --> 01:04:26,241
