1 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 00:58:18,805 --> 00:58:22,257 between the shining ones and these fallen ones 692 00:58:22,326 --> 00:58:25,087 who had decided to abandon their divinity, 693 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 [upbeat music]
