Wars Between Gods And Men: Ancient Aliens, Sumerian Cuneiform Tablets And Mathematics
Interestingly we still see the raging debate around the interweb as to the validity of Sitchin’s work and interpretations of ancient tablets concerning the Nefilim and the planet Hercolubus, called by the Greeks, the winged globe. The poor guy is called almost everything except satan himself. He is oft compared with Von Daniken and Michael Heisner. So let me offer a bit of my own conclusions here.

Ancient Aliens, Sumerian Cueniform Tablets, and Mathematics
by Liliana Usvat
Archeological Knowledge
As far as current archaeological knowledge can reveal, the first true civilization arose in Mesopotamian Sumer, located in present-day Iraq, at least 6,000 years ago. Sumerian culture exploded onto the scene virtually overnight, the cradle of human civilization. A description of Sumer is a list of “firsts” for the human race. Among these “firsts” are: thefirst schools, the first historian, the first method of writing, the first library, the first doctors and pharmacopoeia, the first agriculture (and first “farmers’ almanac”), the first musical notation, the first bicameral legislature, and the first taxes. The Sumerian legal code (also a first) included protection for divorced women and price controls on foodstuffs and wagon rentals. Their religion influenced all that followed, with elements of the Sumerian creation epic filtered through the ages into the Old Testament (the garden of Eden, the evil serpent, the great flood, etc.).
Ancient Aliens Theory
Erich Von Daniken also known as the founder of the Ancient Astronaut Theory, theorizes about past alien influence in our past civilizations. Von Daniken would publish his first book in 1968 while a hotel manager which introduced the theory that aliens from different planets visited Earth in the past and had direct communication and influence on how our civilizations were structured through religion and government. For more than four decades, Erich Von Daniken has been writing and speaking about the past communication and influence aliens have had on our planet.
Von Däniken offers the following hypotheses:
The existence of structures and artifacts have been found which represent higher technological knowledge than is presumed to have existed at the times they were manufactured. Von Däniken maintains that these artifacts were produced either by extraterrestrial visitors or by humans who learned the necessary knowledge from them. Such artifacts include the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai of Easter Island. Further examples include a medieval map known as the Piri Reis Map, allegedly showing the Earth as it is seen from space, and the Nazca lines in Peru, which he explains as landing strips for an airfield
Another researcher of Ancient Aliens is Zecharia Sitchin
Zecharia Sitchin (1920-2010) was born in Russia and grew up in Palestine where he studied ancient Semitic languages and became one of the few to master the reading of the cuneiform writing of the Sumerians from these clay tablets. After studying at the London School of Economics he took up a career in journalism. Then Sitchin began to develop his theory of ancient astronauts visiting earth in the past from the planet Nibiru (Planet X) and their colonization of territory in what is now part of Iraq and the genetic manipulation of humans there. He based his theories on his interpretation of Sumerian cuneiform tablets. He also claimed that Nibiru had an orbit that took it to the outer reaches of the solar system and would return soon.
Considered the father of alternative archeology, Zecharia Sitchin has a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew and many other Semitic and European languages. This knowledge has enabled him in his research of such ancient cultures as Sumer, Egypt, and Mesoamerica. One of approximately 200 scholars on the planet who can read and understand ancient Sumerian written on clay tablets, Zecharia Sitchin has written a series of intriguing books including The 12th Planet, The Wars of Gods and Men, When Time Began, Stairway to Heaven, and The Lost Realms (Bear and Company). These books deal with Earth’s and humankind’s histories and prehistories and are based on information actually written on clay tablets by the ancient civilizations of the Near East. Sitchin’s analysis of Sumerian astronomy and cosmology is of most interest. It is Sitchin’s belief that astronomical knowledge actually declined from the Sumerian period, with much of the Sumerian astronomical knowledge only rediscovered during the Copernican revolution.
Clay Tablets
The British Museum’s collections database counts 30,943 “tablets” in the entire Nineveh library collection. The Ebla tablets are a collection of as many as 1800 complete clay tablets, 4700 fragments and many thousand minor chips found in the palace archives of the ancient city of Ebla, Syria. The tablets were discovered by Italian archaeologist Paolo Matthiae and his team in 1974–75 during their excavations at the ancient city of Tell Mardikh. The tablets, which were found in site on collapsed shelves, retained many of their contemporary clay tags to help reference them. They all date to the period between ca. 2500 BC and the destruction of the city ca. 2250 BC. Today, the tablets are being held in the Syrian museums of Aleppo, Damascus, and Idlib.
Zecharia Sitchin was a world-famous author, who has used ancient Sumerian and other texts to present pictorial and textual evidence showing that “we are not alone.” Recounting the incredible firsts of the Sumerian Civilization, Sitchin has argued that there is one more planet in our own solar system from which intelligent beings (Nefilim, Elohim, Anunnaki) had come. He has gone on to suggest that they arrived on Earth from their planet, Nibiru.
Mathematics
Sitchin writes, “Were the early Greek astronomers living in Asia Minor better informed than their successors because they could draw on Mesopotamian sources?” Sumerian astronomy and the required mathematics used to describe and predict celestial events were remarkably advanced.
They utilized a unit of measure called dub, which has been translated to mean both the 360 degree circumference of the Earth, and the “arch of the heavens.” Not only were the Sumerians aware of the spherical nature of the world, they used the concepts of the equator, poles, and lines of longitude and latitude. Also, the apparent retrograde motions of the planets (due to differences in orbital radii) were understood 6,000 years before renaissance-era astronomers would solve the puzzle.
An accurate Sumerian calendar dating back to 4400 B.C. acknowledged the precessional shift from 2,160 years before. The Sumerians used a 12-based numbering systemwhich still influences numbering today; numbers 1-12 have individual names while subsequent numbers are contractions.
The number 12 was very significant to the Sumerians, representing the number of their principal gods which were synonymous with the planets known to them (they included the Moon and the Sun in their count). Does this mean that the Sumerians were aware of all of the planets known to us today, or was it just coincidence?
Astronomy
Sitchin describes numerous cylinder seals showing what he interprets to be schematic diagrams of the solar system. These diagrams often show a planet larger than Earth between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. These diagrams, along with Sumerian, Babylonian, and Akkadian creation epics lead Sitchin to believe that a collision of planets occurred early in the history of the solar system.
Mathematics as Universal Language
Sir Martin Rees published an article in New Scientist called Mathematics: The only true universal language. Let’s look at the opening paragraphs of this article:
IF WE ever establish contact with intelligent aliens living on a planet around a distant star, we would expect some problems communicating with them. As we are many light years away, our signals would take many years to reach them, so there would be no scope for snappy repartee. There could be an IQ gap and the aliens might be built from quite different chemistry.
Yet there would be much common ground too. They would be made of similar atoms to us. They could trace their origins back to the big bang 13.7 billion years ago, and they would share with us the universe’s future. However, the surest common culture would bemathematics.

I read a wiki piece in conjunction with Von Daniken and Sitchin. The greatest recommendations for either of them was this.
“The idea that ancient astronauts actually existed is not taken seriously by academics, and has received little or no credible attention in peer reviewed studies”
When something is not taken seriously by back slapping academics, that is your first clue you need to read it.
Many years ago I read Chariot of the Gods and the Gold of the Gods by Von Daniken. Yes it makes sense. He has gone to many sites and taken a look at them. He relates stories of how native Americans took him under their wing, blind folded in tunnels, removing the blind fold and showing him amazing figures of solid gold. They are nice stories and may or may not be true.
One thing to bear in mind is this. Sitchin grew up in Palestine and has knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew along with many other Semitic and European languages. He is one of 200 scholars on the planet who can read and understand ancient Sumerian and written clay tablets.
Von Daniken is none of this. Sitchin further more provides photos of the tablets in his books with detailed explanations of exactly what he interprets them to be saying. There has not been much criticism from the other 199 beings on earth who can read Sumerian. That having been said the Navajo do speak it as their language is pure Sumerian.
I read some of Michael Heisner’s rants, a major critic of Sitchin. He is billed by some as intel. When I saw his theory of the divine twin towers of Judaism I quickly moved on. Most of the criticism you will find regarding Sitchin is hey he is Jewish, but then again so is Heisner.
The link above is a brief run down on Sitchin from mathematics magazine.
A short quote:
“Considered the father of alternative archeology, Zecharia Sitchin has a profound knowledge of modern and ancient Hebrew and many other Semitic and European languages. This knowledge has enabled him in his research of such ancient cultures as Sumer, Egypt, and Mesoamerica. One of approximately 200 scholars on the planet who can read and understand ancient Sumerian written on clay tablets,”
Over the years I have had the great fortune to have been able to discuss some of this with various Mahatmas who have been in eastern temples. They indicate Sitchin is very in line with eastern teachings. The only criticism I found was that Sitchin had the identity of the two leaders of the Nefilim pantheon reversed. Anu is actually the female and Antu the male. Once while dining in a Mongolian barbeque joint, I noticed the Chinese waitress had a name tag. Her name was Anu. I smiled and assumed I had been given the correct information.
Has anyone here ever read any of Sitchin’s books? If so which areas would you believe Sitchin to be wrong and what reasons would be the motive for the coverup?
When it comes to criticism by MSN, nobody comes to close to the diatribe Sitchin has received. Himself being jewish and a mason you would think he would be praised to high heaven rather than attacked vociferously.
It all reminds me of a Mencius quote:
Do you wish a nice story or do you wish the truth?
After having READ many of Sitchins books, there are several things that jump out at me.
“THE HYBRID ASTRONAUT/ERECTUS MALE HAS FORESKIN, WHICH THE ASTRONAUTS LACK”
“The baby, Adamu [One Who’s Like Earth’s Clay], looked like a dark red blood-colored, black-haired Nibiru child in every way except his penis. “They looked at its malehood; odd was its shape, by a skin was its forepart surrounded, unlike that of Anunnaki malehood it was. ’Let the Earthling from us Anunnaki by this foreskin be distinguished.’ So was Enki saying.” [Sitchin, op. cit. page 139]”
The Adam or first man was not an aryan it seems. The other races were then created and most probably the aryan last just as native Americans say to this day. They call us little white brother who was created last and told by Anunnaki to move north as their skin texture was better designed to manufacture vitamin D in colder climates. However the signs of them are all over Russia.
Gammadion Is Tetragrammaton The Name Of God
It is possible to take from this the controversy over circumcision as apparently the anunnaki did not have foreskins and the earthlings were created with them. It still seems today the controversy continues and Jews seem to believe they will be more like the Gods without a foreskin. In the Mahabharata of India which is thousands of years older than the bible, their Adam was called Manu and he also saved them from a flood. More evidence that bible was simply lifted from the Enuma Elish and the Vedic scriptures by Constantine and his snake handlers who by the way thought the world was flat until 200 years ago and killed all of the Vedic priests in the vatican. (sound familiar). In Turkey at the council of Nicea where the good book was cooked up, some 147 deacons who dissented were trampled underfoot for heresy. They are now considered divine inspired beings who brought us the bible! Momma come get your baby boy.
Enlil who having drawn the winning straw is elevated to the God of earth. He is assured that the earthlings who are in the process of being created have not been given the gene of longevity which would allow them to live for thousands of years. ( A gene that could account for Methusaleh taking a 300 year nap). The bone marrow of Enki’s rib is used in the creation of the earthling. The description below is thousands of years old and I can assure you the council of Nicea had no idea what a gene was. They thought the earth was flat.
“When Ningishziddha compared genes of breeding Nibirans and the genes of Adamu and Ti-Amat, he found the loci on the Nibiran genotype that allowed reproduction. Nibiran females had a recessive XY chromomsomal allele in their genotype whereas Ti-Amat had only XX.
It is difficult to read this and not come to the conclusion this is the very reason jews today insist on circumcision. They wanted to be more like the Gods. This is the only thing I have ever seen concerning this procedure that actually makes sense. Most of the planet does not undergo this procedure and it has been recently outlawed in Germany as child abuse.
In another area our so called scholarly peers continue hemming and hawing about what exactly the pyramids were used for. There is no academic advancement for any of them to simply read the British Museum’s collections database of 30,943 “tablets” in the entire Nineveh library collection. The Ebla tablets are a collection of as many as 1800 complete clay tablets, 4700 fragments and many thousand minor chips found in the palace archives of the ancient city of Ebla, Syria. Sitchin’s interpretations almost strictly parallels the Erra Epos, Mahabharata, Atrahasis, Kharsag Epic and the Kolbrin Bible which King Longshanks wanted destroyed as a threat to the biblical based monarchy. Examination of Hopi, Mayan and Navajo Cosmology will present us with much of the same things you are not meant to know and must be hidden at all costs. Religion is big business and the vaticanis the wealthiest corporation on planet earth.
And please do not interpret this as anything derogatory concerning Jesus. He was an avatar. Let us just say I am skeptical of those who claim to be working in his behalf.
Lord Jesus The Master Who Unleashed The Power Of The Universe
If they did and could actually read and write Sumerian as Sitchin can, they would find this:
Ninurta found inside the pyramid, all the features given along these pages, and of course many more are given in the actual books of Mr. Sitchin.
“….Escorted by the Chief Mineral master, Ninurta inspected the array of “stones” and instruments. As he stopped by each one of them, he determined its destiny – to be smashed up and destroyed, to be taken away for display, or to be installed as instruments elsewhere. We know of these “destinies” and of the order in which Ninurta had stopped by the stones, from the text inscribed on tablets 10-13 of the epic poem Lugal-e. It is by following and correctly interpreting this text that the mystery of the purpose and functions of many features of the pyramid’s inner structure can be finally understood.”
“Going up the Ascending Passage, Ninurta reached its junction with the imposing Grand Gallery and a Horizontal Passage. Ninurta followed the Horizontal Passage first, reaching a large chamber with a corbelled roof. Called “vulva” in the Ninharsag poem, this chamber’s axis lay exactly on the east-west center line of the pyramid. Its emission (“an outpouring which is like a lion whom no one dares attack”) came from a stone fitted into a niche that was hollowed out in the east wall. It was the SHAM (“Destiny“) Stone. Emitting a red radiance which Ninurta “saw in the darkness,” it was the pulsating heart of the pyramid. But it was anathema to Ninurta, for during the battle, when he was aloft, this stone’s “strong power” was used ” to grab to kill me, with a tracking which kills to seize me.” He ordered it “pulled out… be taken apart… and to obliteration be destroyed.”
Archeologists meanwhile play dumb when all they have to do is pick up a book.
We also find in the Enuma Elish, undeniable evidence of their genetic knowledge. It should be clear to all and can now be readily verified by science..
“When Ningishziddha compared genes of breeding Nibirans and the genes of Adamu and Ti-Amat, he found the loci on the Nibiran genotype that allowed reproduction. Nibiran females had a recessive XY chromomsomal allele in their genotype whereas Ti-Amat had only XX.
There is also a much more in-depth description of the deluge, except there is no Noah and proof to yours truly at least the biblical account is lifted from the Enuma Elish. The original figure was called Utnapishtim and there is no Noah spoken of. There was an ark however but few animals were taken aboard, only genetic samples. Ask yourself which makes more sense. The antarctic ice cap base turned to mush and the entire cap slid off it’s base forming a gigantic tidal wave.
Gary Zeitlein of the SETI program at Berkley read Sitchin extensively. He makes no mention of Von Daniken.
It also describes Lot’s wife, except she did not turn into a pillar of salt, she turned into vapor due to the nuclear blast brought about by the Anunnaki on Sodom. The evidence of a nuclear blast in the Sinai can sill be seen from the sky. It is an area of black sand which is not common to the area and many springs in Palestine are unusually radioactive. The Gods had grown weary of the earthling, described as genetically breaking down, an excessive interest in sex and growing more barbaric as time marched on.
If one is familiar with Sitchin, one will also see his interpretations are almost identical to the Kolbrin bible. A book Longshanks considered such a threat to his Constantine derived monarchy, he tried to have all copies destroyed. It would be evident to the average 12 year old, the bible was lifted from the Enuma Elish.
So what does Von Daniken say about any of this, basically nothing as he can’t read Sumerian.
In closing I will leave a link for anyone interested, to an older post of mine which goes into much greater detail. In fact it has links all of Sitchin’s books which can be read on the internet for anyone interested.
Who Are The Nefilim, Where Did They Go, Will They Return?
The big red planet, Hercolubus is the national symbol of China, the red dragon which grasps the solar system. You can see it here.
All Hell (And Heaven) Breaks Loose In 2014 (The Kali Yuga Where Ignorance Becomes Bliss)
You can also see it here.
“For those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, please know that the current pandemic of ignorance and arrogance is quite purposeful. It is induced — by the Universe itself — for the protection of the masses so that their ignorance has become bliss. The bliss that comes with not knowing the grim realities which abound everywhere one looks.
Lord Kalki: His Appearance Signifies the end of the Kali Yuga
The tenth and final incarnation of Lord Vishnu is Lord Kalki. His coming in the last century marks the end of the Kali Yuga and closing of the Iron Age. Hence, we see all types of end time prophecy abound. There is particular interest in Planet X, sometimes called the 10th Planet or Hercolubus. Such a planet-comet would be an apt representation of Lord Kalki since His mission, as represented by the Hindu scriptures is to bring about an end to the ignorance that prevails during the Kali Yuga. That’s exactly what He did.
Lord Kalki: His Appearance Signifies the End of the Kali Yuga
What all of these recent developments really says about the true status of the planetary civilization is that we are now a minute to midnight. No, we are closer to midnight than that, perhaps only seconds away from the ending of the expansive 6000 year era known as the Age of Quarrel. Fortunately or unfortunately, most do not even have a clue, since Maya always intensifies toward the end of every Kali Yuga. It has to be this way. Otherwise, very few would ever get out of bed in the morning to face the brutal realities. And so it is during the upcoming grand finale of the current age.
Perhaps Lord Kalki was the long-prophesied “Rider of the White Horse”.
