Ancient Aliens Visiting Earth
Where do we come from?

Where do we come from and why are we here? Questions which have divided our human ideology for centuries.
Man seems to have an instinctive belief in the existence of a God, and this is demonstrated by the multitude of world religions. Each religion sets forth various teachings as to what God is like, and what he expects from men. The real question now becomes, which God is the true one?

In this paper I'm going to suggest to you a theory which is unpopular and has been scrutinized by many top archaeologists as being ridiculous. This, even with the evidence I provide is only to be taken with a pinch of salt, because it’s just another idea about how we began.

In now what is known as modern day Iraq, lays what many historians and archaeologists regard as the cradle of civilisation. During the years 3500 and 1900 BC the fertile crescent between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers was the home of the Sumerian people.

The Sumerians were one of the earliest civilisations to emerge in the world, they discovered city blocks, the sailboat, wheeled vehicles, dikes, irrigation, canals, jewellery, the pottery wheel, copper tools, algebra, the arch and the first superhero, Gilgamesh.

The Sumerians also invented the first known writing system, by using cuneiform script on clay tablets. In the 19th century archaeologists exploring the ancient ruins of Nineveh, discovered 22,000 of these clay tablets. When they were later translated the text describes many stories similar to those found in the Christian Bible.

"Virtually every story that's in Genesis, the flood story, Adam and Eve story, they all have precedence with the ancient Sumerians" - Arthur D. Horn, PH.D.

In 1976 Author Zac Siten published his own translations of all 22,000 tablets in a series of books called the early chronicles. According to his work, the clay tablets describe an alien race called the Annunaki, who came to earth to mine for gold.

The tablets also describe a

    Standing proudly as two of the great pillars of world literature, particularly ancient world literature, the Book of Genesis and the Epic of Gilgamesh provide a great deal of insight into the nature of early human-animal relationships. In particular, the documentary hypothesis, which persuasively postulates that the Pentateuch is comprised of the writings of four different sources, means that the place and date of authorship of parts within the text (e.g. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2) vary significantly from each other. That said, it is a safe estimate that Genesis 1, which was written by the Priestly source, was composed in approximately 500 BCE by Jewish priests exiled in Babylon (Encyclopedia Britannica). Likewise, Genesis 2, written by the Yahwistic source, dates to around 950 BCE and was produced in Judaea (Encyclopedia…

    The Sumerians started very simply and began trying things like using pictures to be representations for different items and animals. This was what the earliest form of a writing system was. Using that style hey could tell exactly what things were. Over some time, this system developed into using those same pictographs, but now having certain symbols for certain words. This was established by 3100 B.C. However, as more complex ideas than keeping track of trades arose, a demand for a more complex system of writing had also risen. As time progressed, s system of writing known as cuneiform or "wedged-shaped" began to develop. This system of writing developed by about 2900 B.C, used symbols to represent ideas, sounds, syllables and objects. The symbols were pressed into tablets of wet clay which later, were dried in the sun preserving records and ideas and their history. This very long lasting style of writing became popular among the Babylonians and the Assyrians began using it for their own…

    3500 BC to 2332 BC, when the civilization fell under control of Sargon Akkad(Kleiner 40). The Sumerians settled in the previously inhabited valley between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, in modern day southern Iraq(Kliener 32). This region, known as the Fertile Crescent was named for the quarter moon shape of the region. The unusually fertile soil allowed the early civilization to be able to focus on more than just farming for food to survive, as the Sumerians developed irrigation canals for crops, and learned to control the floods. Along with developments in agriculture, they charted the earliest urban societies, referred to as city-states that were surprisingly complex for the time period(Kliener 31). While urban, Sumer was not a unified populations. Instead, the multiple regions were under the rule of different deities, and the rulers were these gods’ representatives on Earth. The rulers controlled all communal activities, including agriculture and food distribution. As a result of extensive agriculture innovation, only a select portion of the population had to farm, allowing others to develop skills in a multitude of areas. This began the advent of the urbanized society, with the shift from family to community responsibilities(Kliener…

The text in some cases may not have been read by all of it’s people but there is evidence according to Steadman, that the text was read at festivals or some type of ceremonies. We understand the the lives of the Sumerian people, the gods they believed in and how these stories, and myths evolved into the stories we hear today. In this particular culture, through text we understand that they believed everything happened by gods, including “good fortune and disasters.” Which we call, binaries, just the good versus evil binary, and in turn through the myths we understand the reasons why they believed the gods controlled everything. Along with the documents of the historical information, there was the Sumerian King List, which was noted that it was copied multiple times; therefore having several versions and it has information that doesn’t necessarily transfer “accurately” from the original text.

We see evidence of this even in the Neolithic period, from the Goddess statues at Catal Huyuk.Throughout history, countless narratives have been recorded, addressing the question of human origin.

    Is there a God? This is a question that crosses the minds of everyone in the world, at least once. While this question is highly controversial, the world must come to the realization that there is not one definite answer. This may seem confusing to most people, and the concept will probably never be fully grasped. But there are five particular philosophers who have formed strong opinions and arguments to address the question at hand and seem to have it all figured out. Philosophy and religion do indeed have an unsettled relationship, but this relationship only challenges minds, inspires people to think, and allows others to obtain a deeper and more detailed perspective.…

    Ritual Human Sacrifice

    • 9 Pages

    The use of human sacrifice in different rituals has featured largely in many cultures for thousands of years. To better understand this one must first consider and define what is actually meant by the term ‘ritual’. According to The Oxford English Dictionary, ritual is described as ‘the series of actions used in a religious or other rite’. Renfrew and Bahn (1991, 408-9) indicate that ritual activity can be identified by the observation of four contributing components, such as the focusing of attention on the location, a sacred place; the presence of a possible liminal boundary between ‘this world and the next’; evidence for the worship of a deity and the participation and offerings made by individuals. The term ‘sacrifice’ as defined by The Oxford Concise Dictionary of Archaeology (Darvill, 2003, p371) as the slaughter of an animal or person or the surrendering of possessions to a deity. It goes on to say, Although seen as ceremonial in context, sacrifice may have a functional ends institutionalized in the practice itself, for example the regulation of a population and the creation of an instrument of political terror.…
